Chapter 8 Fetch Your Own Equipment
That night, when Liao Fan gathered his troops, he found out how tragic this battle was, when the whole regiment pulled up, there were more than 2,000 people, and now there are less than 200 people on the position plus the lightly wounded, and only Liao Fan is left with officers above the battalion level, who is still appointed by the line of fire, and in addition to Huang Changsheng and Liao Jundong, there are still two platoon commanders left. They fought the worst on this position.
"Battalion commander, are there any arrangements?" Huang Changsheng handed Liao Fan a cigarette.
"I don't smoke, I was ordered to get out of here and replenish our equipment and soldiers." Liao Fan refused the cigarette handed over by Huang Changsheng.
"In that case, what is the battalion commander worried about?" Huang Changsheng lit a cigarette himself.
"The war is so tragic and anxious, this war can't be fought in a short period of time, I think it's okay to replenish equipment, but it's difficult for soldiers, all the participating troops must be rushing to get people, just don't let our soldiers be eaten by other troops." Liao Fan didn't want to give away the troops he had just mastered to others, in wartime, having his own troops was the king, and veterans who had gone through a war were better than recruits who had been trained for a year.
"No," Huang Changsheng didn't believe it, "Since the above promised us, it will definitely add it to us." ”
"Changsheng, you first take the troops and temporarily form a reinforced company, with you as the company commander and my brother as the deputy company commander. When they were withdrawn, priority was given to taking care of the wounded, and after the troops were stationed, training was strengthened, and no one was allowed to go out without my orders. Liao Fan didn't plan to tell Huang Changsheng about his plan for the time being.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll leave it to me." Huang Changsheng should go down.
When changing guards, Liao Fan sent Liao Jundong to the division's hospital and asked the doctor to treat his wounds. Liao Fan accompanied Liao Jundong in the hospital for three days and returned to the place where the troops were stationed.
Liao Fan just sat down and didn't have time to drink saliva, when Huang Changsheng ran over: "Battalion commander, no, I should call you a group seat now." The order from the division headquarters came down. ”
"Oh, I'll see." Liao Fan took the document from Huang Changsheng's hand.
"Tuanza, you are really like a god, those people above don't care about the life or death of their subordinates, let us recruit our own troops, train a regiment of soldiers within two months, continue to fight, two months, the recruits will not do the basic tactical movements, they are simply going to die, I really don't know what they think." Huang Changsheng snatched the cup from Liao Fan's hand and drank the water in one gulp.
Liao Fan looked at the document seriously, and it was written on it that Liao Fan was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, temporarily acting as the head of the regiment, responsible for all affairs in the regiment, and Huang Changsheng was awarded the rank of major to assist Liao Fan. All appointments within the regiment are at the discretion of the acting regimental commander and then reported to the division headquarters. Then there's the matter of recruiting soldiers.
"That's all?" Liao Fan carefully read the document twice and asked Huang Changsheng.
Huang Changsheng also wondered if Liao Fan hadn't heard what he said: "That's all." ”
"Where's the equipment? Let's recruit troops, but we can't do without equipment. How to recruit without guns. "Liao Fan had long expected that there would be no replenishment of troops from above, and there would be no equipment or replenishment.
"Yesterday, the herald of the division headquarters came over and said that the equipment was asked to be taken to the quartermaster by himself." Huang Changsheng said.
"It seems that the equipment is not easy to get," Liao Fan finally understood why the national army was defeated again and again on the battlefield, "Changsheng, tomorrow morning, gather all the soldiers, bring guns, and wear the clothes we just got off the battlefield, and tomorrow we will go to ask for equipment." ”
"Huh? You can't come nonsense, you have to shoot to rob the quartermaster's office. Huang Changsheng thought that Liao Fan was going to lead the troops to rob the quartermaster's office.
"Don't worry, I won't come here." Liao Fan patted Changsheng's shoulder, "Get busy." ”
Liao Fan didn't understand why the division commander asked him to personally lead the team to get the equipment, and he didn't know if the division commander did it on purpose or deliberately made it difficult. Let yourself recruit soldiers, this is not much of a problem, the quality of the equipment is related to the combat ability of the whole regiment, if the division commander deliberately does it, want to examine his own ability, this is understandable, if it is deliberately difficult, I am afraid to get the equipment, it is also the worst equipment.
"I'm here to pick up equipment." Liao Fan walked to the door of the quartermaster department and went straight to the point and asked the quartermaster for equipment.
"Which part?" The military chief lazily opened a notebook.
"The 702nd Regiment of the 3rd Division." Liao Fan looked at the fat-faced quartermaster, and he was particularly unpleasant.
"Is there a slip?" The quartermaster looked up the regiment Liao Fan said in his notebook.
"Approval? What approval? Liao Fan didn't know that he still needed the approval slip above to receive the equipment.
"You don't know the approval slip, and you're still here to get the equipment?" The quartermaster buttoned up his notebook and looked at Liao Fan with disdain, "Seeing that the clothes you are wearing are so bad, you are not here to ask for food." ”
Several people from the quartermaster department looked at Liao Fan and laughed "haha" and talked about them.
Huang Changsheng, who was behind Liao Fan, listened to several people from the quartermaster department laughing at them, and wanted to go up and beat the quartermaster chief, but was blocked by Liao Fan: "Have you received the approval from the division headquarters?" Liao Fan asked Huang Changsheng.
Huang Changsheng shook his head: "The correspondent only gave one document, and nothing else." ”
Liao Fan was sure of his thoughts, and he didn't plan to give approval at all.
"I am Liao Fan, the commander of the 702nd Regiment who was just appointed, and I was only ordered to receive the equipment." Liao Fan looked at the quartermaster with a smile, without the slightest look of anger.
"Commander? What a big official, this is not a place for us to ask for food, you better change places. The quartermaster didn't even lift his eyes.
Liao Fan slammed the door and went out, stood in front of his soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we have been defending the No. 3 position for two days and one night, and countless brothers have been killed and wounded. ”
"It's not." The shouts of more than a hundred soldiers shook the heavens and the earth.
"Yes, we're not here to eat, we're here today to rob." Liao Fan shouted loudly, "Huang Changsheng, lead a platoon of soldiers to guard the gate, and no one is allowed to come in without my order." ”
Huang Changsheng, who was standing behind him, heard Liao Fan speak in front of the soldiers for the first time, and when he was listening with relish, he suddenly heard that Liao Fan was going to rob, and he was immediately stunned, and he pulled Liao Fan's clothes hard behind him to tell him not to be impulsive.
But Liao Fan raised his voice and shouted, as if he didn't feel it: "Huang Changsheng, carry out the order." ”
Huang Changsheng, who was pulling Liao Fan's clothes, was startled, and replied instinctively: "Yes." Huang Changsheng took a platoon of soldiers to drive out the other soldiers who came to receive the equipment, and guarded the gate of the quartermaster department.
"Who is this? So powerful. ”
"I heard that it was a regiment guarding the No. 3 position, and there were still these people left in the fight, and now they came to replenish the equipment, and the quartermaster department deliberately made it difficult for them."
"The Quartermaster Department is just the ones who should be cleaned up."
"Platoon Commander Sun, lead a platoon of soldiers to watch the fat pigs inside who can only eat." Liao Fan ordered a platoon commander under his command.
When the quartermaster saw that Liao Fan was going to make trouble, he was not afraid, and he was able to achieve this position, so he naturally had some background: "Hmph, I don't believe that you dare to rob the quartermaster department ...... a small regiment commander."
"Execute the order," Before the quartermaster finished speaking, Liao Fan took out a gun and put it on the head of the quartermaster: "I don't dare to rob the military supplies, but I dare to rob you, you should know that people who come down from the battlefield are not afraid of death, and besides, the war is scorching now, and what is lacking on the battlefield is experienced officers, not fat pigs like you." Liao Fan patted the quartermaster's big fat belly with his left hand.
