Looking at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers everywhere, Liu Hong couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and the other soldiers also looked at the scene in front of them in surprise, it was really hard to believe that the devil cavalry, who was invincible just now, was so easily annihilated by them.

Zhang Dejiang next to him turned to Liu Hong and said, "Old Liu, the little devil was killed by all of us, I'm not dreaming!" That's a whole squadron of devil cavalry! ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Hong's mouth, nodded and said: "With the development of the times, the cavalry can no longer adapt to modern warfare, and the cavalry charging in the face of the enemy's dense firepower is tantamount to looking for death. But if we hadn't arrived at the embankment in time, we would have been wiped out. The reason why the little devils will be eliminated by us is that they are not judged, they didn't expect us to rush up the river embankment so quickly, and the second is that the devils are arrogant and too light on the enemy, I'm afraid they didn't expect that we would have such a powerful firepower, if it is replaced by an ordinary company of our Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that it will not be able to block the charge of this devil cavalry. ”

After listening to Liu Hong's analysis, Zhang Dejiang nodded and said: "What you said is good, but I think the key to our victory lies in your command. It was you who immediately rushed up the river embankment to resist the attack of the devils, which turned our defeat into victory. No wonder even the commander praised you for your high strategic vision, which is indeed extraordinary, and I am completely convinced. ”

At this time, Wu Feng next to him said with a smile: "I can see that this kid has a magic power in him, and anything impossible can be made possible by him." ”

Liu Hong smiled and waved his hand and said, "Okay!" Don't hold me up, hurry up and pack up, replenish your ammunition, and continue to go. ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Under Liu Hong's order, the soldiers rushed to the battlefield one after another, ready to pick up some devils' weapons and ammunition to replenish consumption, when a soldier of the Eighth Route Army shouted loudly: "There is still a live one here, how to deal with it!" ”

Liu Hong said with a serious face: "Kill all of them and leave no one behind, now is a special period, we don't have the time and energy to take care of these captives." ”

Zhang Dejiang frowned and said, "But our Eighth Route Army has a policy to treat prisoners preferentially. ”

Liu Hong said with a cold face: "Only those who put down their arms and surrender are considered prisoners, don't you see that he is still holding a knife in his hand?" Whoever holds a weapon is a prisoner, this is the enemy, and the enemy should be resolutely and completely destroyed! Liu Hong said that he raised his hand and shot it, which directly exploded the little devil's head.

Liu Hong then shouted loudly: "Everyone obeys the order, as long as the little devils are not left behind, all of them are killed, now is a special period, our main task is to cover the main force to break through, and before we complete the task, we have no time or energy to take care of these prisoners, understand?" ”

Zhang Dejiang then shouted loudly: "The captain is right, only those who lay down their arms and surrender are considered prisoners, and those who hold weapons are all enemies, and if they are enemies, they should be resolutely and completely eliminated, and carry out the order!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors responded in unison. Later, the soldiers found some little devils who were injured but not dead, and the soldiers did not hesitate to kill all these enemies.

The vanguard simply cleaned up the battlefield, replenished some ammunition, and then continued to advance to the Pinghan Railway under the leadership of Liu Hong.

It didn't take long for the Independent Regiment to rush over, and the commander of the Independent Regiment didn't care about these messy battlefields, but just ordered people to notify the troops behind them and let them be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, and then continued on the road.

The news reached the headquarters, and after Commander Lu learned the news, he was naturally very happy, although it was only a small victory, but the vanguard was more than 100 troops and wiped out more than 250 Japanese cavalry, in this respect, this is already quite a remarkable victory.

By the time Commander Lu arrived at the battlefield, the battlefield had almost been cleaned, and Commander Lu smiled and said, "I really didn't see the wrong person, this Liu Hong is indeed not simple!" I just don't understand, with Liu Hong's ability, why was he a small squad leader before? Could it be that he had just joined the revolution not long ago, or that he had buried this talent? ”

The chief of staff explained with a smile: "Neither. I asked some comrades of the Eighth Army Division to learn about Liu Hong's situation, this kid has been in the Eighth Route Army for four years, this kid has a flexible brain, dares to fight, is indeed a rare general, and has made a lot of contributions before. But this kid is also a thorn in the head, usually not less trouble, although there are a lot of military exploits, but there are also a lot of troubles, often punished, the position is promoted, demoted, the highest promotion to the company commander, but just two months after becoming a battalion instructor, this kid was demoted and transferred from the original unit to the special battalion, until the beginning of this sweep, it was only a squad leader. ”

"A company commander dares to beat the battalion instructor, this kid's courage is really not small." Commander Lu said with a frown.

The chief of staff said with a wry smile: "I also learned about this matter in detail, in fact, it is no wonder that Liu Hong, the instructor of that battalion has little combat experience, and he also feels good about himself. Liu Hong beat the kid and snatched the command, which ensured that their company was not surrounded and annihilated by the little devil in one fell swoop. But then the instructor sued Liu Hong, accusing him of disobedience on the battlefield, disobeying commands, and beating his superiors, saying that Liu Hong was a warlord. In desperation, Commander Chang had no choice but to punish Liu Hong, demoted him to squad leader, and transferred him out of the original unit. ”

"I see!" Commander Lu nodded and said: "Liu Hong is certainly wrong, but that instructor is also wrong, as a commander, if you don't know how to command blindly, and you can't accept opinions with an open mind, such a person will never be able to become a qualified commander, and such an incompetent commander is a disaster for the entire army." Therefore, when we select and promote cadres, we must be cautious and cautious, not only to know people well and to do their jobs, but also to appoint people on the basis of merit and to confer officials according to their abilities. ”

The chief of staff nodded and said, "The commander is right, we are still not good enough at this point!" ”
