Chapter 202
9.202
"Commander Shi, this place is shady, so the moss will grow very quickly, there was really a single-plank bridge, it was quietly built by the hunters of the previous village in order to poach in this mountainous area, many locals don't know this road, if it weren't for my brother to go to the front village, I wouldn't know. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The guide's explanation was very reasonable, but he didn't give a way to build the bridge, and the company commander Shi looked at the cliff on the opposite side and began to worry.
I thought that by cutting down a tree and then standing up on this cliff and slowly lowering it, I could build a simple wooden bridge, but now it seems impossible, and the large amount of moss on the edge of the opposite cliff has brought unexpected trouble to Commander Shi, and if you want to build a bridge, you must first remove those obstacles.
But how? First, it is not far from it, and it is definitely not close to say that it is near. If you threw a grenade over it would have been a piece of cake, now you have to go over a big living person.
"Whoever it is! As long as I can find a way to cross the opposite cliff, I, the company commander, will let him do it! ”
In the case that he really had no idea, Company Commander Shi decided to sacrifice a "killer weapon", hoping that there would be a brave man under the heavy reward, this method has worked in the past, but I don't know if it can be done today.
For the officers and men of the 3rd Company, this "bounty" is very tempting! Especially for those soldiers at the lowest level, this opportunity in front of them is simply a shortcut to the sky.
The 99th Division is not like other troops, from Huang Haoran at the beginning to Shen Yuanlong in the back and now Qian Guoliang, the three division commanders have paid great attention to cultivating reserve officers, and they have reserve clans that can make up for the losses of officers in combat in time. Therefore, within the 99th Division, there is very little phenomenon of officers and men jumping up and down.
What Company Commander Shi said, no matter who it is! As long as you can find a way to cross the opposite cliff, you can get the position of company commander! That is to say, if the most ordinary private passes, then he will jump six levels in a row, skip the first class, corporal, sergeant, sergeant, and second lieutenant, and directly become a lieutenant company commander!
This is twice the speed of the "three consecutive promotions" staged on the stage!
Stimulated by the "heavy reward", the officers and men of the 3rd Company began to collectively use their brains, and some people even started to do it, but unfortunately the few methods they came up with were either rejected before they could be put into practice, or they had to give up after trying.
With such a toss, the more time can be consumed, seeing that the main force of the regiment is about to continue to step on the muddy mountain road, the task of the 3rd Company is about to fail, and the commander of the stone company is anxious to scratch his scalp!
"Whew!" It's the sound of breaking the air! Then there was a sound of "poof~~~", and the tail note was still trembling! The commander of the stone company followed the prestige, and saw an arrow flying into the moss on the opposite cliff, not very deep, leaving only the tail of the arrow on the outside of the moss, and a rope was attached to the tail of the arrow, and when he looked at the rope, he knew that it was made of leggings together.
"Who! Who did it? Tell me quickly, what's the use of this? ”
Commander Shi squinted his eyes for a while, and didn't understand what the rope on the tail of the arrow was for, could it be that someone wanted to climb to the opposite side by this rope? Isn't that crazy!? How could an arrow shot into the moss carry the weight of a soldier? It's no wonder if you don't fall to your death!
"Company commander, I did it!"
A private of the first class walked out of the crowd, still holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and the commander of the stone company knew this soldier, whose nickname was Shi Dan. Because of this name, Shi Dan is often joked about by the veterans in the company, saying that he is the godson of the company commander.
Walking out from behind the stone egg was the guide who led the way for the 3rd Chain. Only then did Company Commander Shi remember that the guide seemed to be carrying a bow and arrows before, and it seemed that the two of them were working together.
Since there was a guide involved, maybe it wasn't nonsense, and Company Commander Shi decided to listen to Private Shi Dan's explanation first
"Stone Egg, tell me what you're doing...?"
"Company commander! I'm measuring the thickness of the moss on the cliff opposite! ”
The Political Department of the 99th Division has never talked about the Three People's Principles and the program of political training, but it has never taught the officers and soldiers to read and write.
"Measuring thickness? What's the use? Don't sell your kid, pour beans from the bamboo tube, and give it all to Lao Tzu! ”
Company Commander Shi is now lacking in virtue is time, so he asked a series of questions:
"Company commander! I and this guide brother calculated, if there was no moss on the opposite cliff, then our bridge would have been erected a long time ago.... So we wanted to find a way to get rid of the moss on the other side... Later, I remembered that my hometown often burned straw in winter, so I wanted to light a fire to see it, but I tried on the moss here for a long time, but I couldn't light it......"
"Nonsense! Dry straw is certainly better! This wild moss is wet, it's no wonder you can light it! Don't beat around the bush! Getting to the point! ”
The stone egg is too chattering, no wonder the company commander Shi can't listen to it, he doesn't want to know the cause and effect now, as long as he can get to the opposite cliff.
"Yes! Captain! I'm talking about the point! Later, I found out that the moss was very thick, and when I reached down, I couldn't reach my little arm! And it's hard to pull it out! Then I thought, isn't this just the same thing as mud, it's just a little slippery on it, you can't put things, if you poke it down with a sharp thing, it's definitely like driving a pile! You can't pull it out! Company commander, let's simply attach the sapper shovel to the stump, and then stand up and slowly put it on the opposite side, as long as the sapper shovel is inserted into the moss, it will be like a nail! Isn't this bridge built? ”
Take moss as river mud, take sappers and shovels as bridge piles... This idea is really bold! But it's very reliable! Company Commander Shi immediately made a decision, and just did it!
The stone egg had measured the length of the arrow before shooting, and the rope on the tail was worried that the moss on the opposite side would be too thick, and it might completely engulf the arrow, and the stone egg had already made a length mark on the rope so that he could calculate the actual thickness of the moss from the tail left outside, but it did not come in handy.
The officers and men of the 3rd Company cut down a large tree again, and then, under the command of Stone Egg, dug several holes with bayonets at one end of the trunk, then stuffed the handle of the sapper shovel into the hole, and then filled it with sawdust, and without much effort, the bridge deck with fixed piles was ready.
After that, "erection" and "decentralization" are done in one go! The speed of the five sapper shovels and the gravity of the tree trunk all sank deep into the moss on the opposite cliff, just like the stone egg said, it really can't pull it out, let alone slip.
Leaning on this single-plank bridge, a squad of the 3rd Company quickly crossed the opposite cliff with a rope, then fixed the main rope, and then began to erect the suspension bridge. At the same time, the commander of the 3rd company also sent a herald to report the news of the successful bridge building to the regimental headquarters. I believe that it will not take a while, and the large troops of the 531st Regiment will continue to drive over.
Company Commander Shi stood at the head of the suspension bridge that was about to take shape, looking at the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Company who were laying wooden planks with their heads bowed, and his smiling eyes narrowed into a line. Shi Dan didn't have to go back to his class now, and Company Commander Shi kept Shi Dan by his side as a guard.
This kid is the reserve company commander of the 3rd Company, and he must be trained in advance!
"Boy, that's enough! After this battle, my position as company commander will be given to you! ”
Listening to the company commander's praise, Shi Dan was actually a little embarrassed, he touched the back of his head and replied: "Don't worry, don't worry, if the company commander is reluctant, he will work for two more days......"
This kid! It's really black-hearted! Now I want to seek power and usurp the throne!
**************************************************************************
Wuhan, the official residence of the highest authorities.
Wang Zhaoming's recent appearances in the official residence are too intensive, and even Lin Wei is beginning to feel that something is wrong. Today is even more outrageous, Wang Zhaoming actually ran to the official residence in the early hours of the morning, shouting that there is an urgent matter to see the highest authorities!
The supreme authority who had changed into pajamas and was ready to sleep could only put on the robe again, although he sneered at Wang Zhaoming behind his back, but on the bright side, Wang Zhaoming's face was still given by the supreme authority! After all, he is the vice president of the ruling party, isn't he?
Lin Wei led Wang Zhaoming to the study of the highest authority, and secretly guessed in his heart: Could it be that Chairman Wang suddenly changed his personality and planned to end his low-key years and officially jump to the front desk?
Political opponents try to get their hands on the army, and this is the thing that the highest authorities fear most! Even if Wang Zhaoming really has a point of guidance, trying to show his muscles to the army, choosing such a way to get out of position is also the next policy among the next strategies!
"Lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot", could it be that Wang Zhaoming really wants to respond to this sentence?
Walking through the quiet corridor, Lin Wei and Wang Zhaoming came to the door of the study of the highest authority, and orange lights peeked out from the crack in the door. Lin Wei pushed the door in, the lights were bright, and Wang Zhaoming, who was half a position behind, subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.
"Take a seat! Chairman Wang has arrived....."
After introducing Wang Zhaoming, Lin Wei immediately withdrew from the door, this was because he had seen the tiredness and impatience on the faces of the highest authorities, and in addition, he should not be present for this kind of conversation between high-level officials.
After Lin Wei left, Wang Zhaoming and the highest authority were left in the room, because he had just changed into a robe, so the highest authority did not sit behind the desk as usual, but chose to sit on the sofa.
"Zhaoming, come here so late, what's the matter?"
The action of holding his forehead with his hand shows that the highest authorities are really sleepy, Wang Zhaoming saw it in his eyes, and warned himself in his heart to be extra careful.
People in a state of fatigue are easily irritated, although this is beneficial to Wang Zhaoming to achieve the purpose of this trip, but a careless person is also easy to get burned.
After adjusting his sitting posture three or four times in a row, and considering the expression of his mouth several times, Wang Zhaoming finally opened his mouth, because the spirit of the highest authority was still in the period of fatigue, and the reaction speed had decreased a lot, so he did not express dissatisfaction with Wang Zhaoming's hesitant attitude:
"Commission, I just got a piece of news that Li Pinxian's corps is going to create Huang Youchen's anti-...... on the front line."
Wang Zhaoming has been secretly observing the expressions and reactions of the highest authorities when he speaks, and his voice is also crescendo, hoping to highlight the key points.
I have to admit that Wang Zhaoming was very sensational at the beginning, and at present, the Wuhan battlefield as a whole is in a state of stalemate, and the only place where there is hope for a breakthrough is Huang Haoran's Jiang Defense Army. Therefore, the highest authorities are very concerned about Huang Haoran's recent situation, and it will never lead to this topic being unspeakable.
In addition, the seriousness of the incident is enough to make the highest authorities feel that Wang Zhaoming's behavior of visiting overnight is normal, so that no flaws will be exposed.
"Oh.....? Tell me, I'll listen......"
The answer of the highest authority did not surprise Wang Zhaoming, his old opponent did not like to show his emotions in front of people, and the fact that the top authority was willing to listen to Wang Zhaoming's talk in the middle of the night showed that he had already taken this matter to heart.
"Commission, I only learned by chance tonight that the reason why Huang Youchen has not made progress in Susong for a long time is that the local troops are obstructing it and refusing to cooperate, and the generals involved include the Sichuan Army, the Gui Department, and the Northwest Army, these people are simply unscrupulous! Lawlessness! If I don't punish him, I'm afraid... Huang Youchen will follow in the footsteps of Xue Boling in Lanfeng in Susong......"
Wang Zhaoming's "complaint" was very clever, and he did not name the source of the news, but focused on the point of the spearhead.
The miscellaneous army is a thorn in the heart of the supreme authorities, so as long as they sue the miscellaneous army, as long as they say it, the supreme authorities will already believe half of it.
The easiest way to win the trust of others is not to try to convince, but to say what the other person wants to believe.
Sure enough, the highest authorities did not inquire about the source of Wang Zhaoming's intelligence, but began to ask about the details of the "miscellaneous military rebellion and refusal to fight".
Finally, it was time for Wang Zhaoming to play at will......
Five or six minutes is enough time for a politician to turn black into white, not to mention the fact that Li Pinxian's army does have the fact that Huang Haoran's orders are violated. Wang Zhaoming successfully mobilized the resentment of the highest authorities against the miscellaneous army. But this is still far from the goal of Wang Zhaoming's trip.
Wang Zhaoming's patience was very good, and he didn't start his small actions until the highest authorities scolded the first "Niang Xipi" and confirmed that the highest authorities' emotions had fluctuated very much.
"Commission, these miscellaneous armies are indeed hateful, but Huang Youchen is also wrong... The management of the army needs to be strict, especially when commanding such a complex team, the means cannot be too soft! It's not enough to be a good person... There are some things that Huang Youchen connived at ......"
At this time, the face of the highest authority was no longer sleepy, half because he heard what Wang Zhaoming said, and the other half wanted to see what Wang Zhaoming came here for tonight.......
From now on, the most likely thing is that Wang Zhaoming wants to go around in circles to sue Huang Haoran for his black state, which is in line with Wang Zhaoming's consistent attitude, but there is no need to come overnight? From this, the highest authorities deduced that Wang Zhaoming must have something to do next.
"What do you think ......?"
"Is it up to the Military Commission to go to someone and suppress those miscellaneous generals, so that Huang Youchen can free up his hands to deal with the 27th Division."
The highest authorities were a little surprised by Wang Zhaoming's answer, because this suggestion was so fair that it would not only fail to take the opportunity to hit Huang Haoran, but would also help Huang Haoran. According to Wang Zhaoming's position, it should be hoped that Huang Haoran's defeat will be as miserable as possible! Only in this way can the "theory of surrender" that Wang Zhaoming has been preaching have a market.
Although Wang Zhaoming's intentions could not be seen through for a while, the highest authorities habitually did not want Wang Zhaoming to get what he wanted:
"At present, the fierce battle in Susong is in full swing, if you send people to deal with those miscellaneous generals, it will inevitably be detrimental to the battle of encircling and annihilating the 27th Division, Huang Youchen is not the kind of person who is indecisive, the reason why he did this should be his intention."
"So do you want to indulge like that? The 27th Division has been fighting for so long, and many people in the government have begun to gossip, Huang Haoran is now an iconic famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is really not worth lowering his reputation for such a thing! ”
The highest authorities tentatively shirked for Huang Haoran, but in exchange for Wang Zhaoming's strong protest, which made the highest authorities even more suspicious. Thinking of the agreement reached with Yang Sen, the highest authorities even felt that Wang Zhaoming did this because he wanted to put Huang Haoran on the opposite side of the miscellaneous army, so that the influence released by the marriage of "Huang Yang" could be overwhelming the lowest, and the relationship between the highest authorities and the Sichuan army would be separated!
At present, it is the key to the central government's entry into Sichuan, and the highest authorities do not want to make extraneous branches!
"Zhaoming, I know that you are thinking about the battle situation, but we also have to think about it for Huang Haoran! At present, several armies under Huang Haoran are resting, if he doesn't use Li Pinxian's corps as the main attack task, do you want him to scatter beans into soldiers!? Now that you have dealt with Li Pinxian's gang, you are angry, can you still fight? For today's plan, we can only be gentle and thunderous, and that is all after the 27th Division is defeated......"
Finally there's a show! Wang Zhaoming desperately suppressed the joy in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be in pain, he raised his voice and said to the highest authorities:
"Take a seat! You are appeasement! It's going to break a big deal! ”
Seeing Wang Zhaoming so tough, the highest authorities immediately adopted a tougher attitude to suppress him! If it had been a change of day, in front of the government officials, the highest authorities might have saved some face for Wang Zhaoming. But now it's late at night, and it's in the official residence of the highest authority, and there is no one else to side, so the highest authority doesn't need to take much care of it.
"You don't understand the things of war...... I have already decided that I will send He Jingzhi to the Susong front line tomorrow and issue medals to Li Pinxian and his generals! And I want Huang Haoran to send it to them personally! Let them fight this battle! ”
Now that the supreme authorities have said it to death, all that Wang Zhaoming has left is the power to walk away......
After Wang Zhaoming rushed out of the hall of the official residence and got into the special car, his adjutant quickly turned his head and asked if he would drive immediately, but Wang Zhaoming shook his hand, just staring at the hall he had just walked out through the window, as if he was waiting for someone......
