Chapter 5: Grabbing the Credit
Liu Zhengfeng's words made the guard battalion commander Zhou Liankai suddenly enlightened. Annihilating an enemy squadron was a huge achievement. Looking at the entire division, the entire right wing corps, no, the entire Fifth War Zone, no one else had such a record as his. Promotion and wealth were just around the corner.
Thinking of this, Zhou Liankai was overjoyed. He looked at Liu Zhengfeng with a friendly face and patted him on the shoulder.
"Well, you are right. I almost blamed you wrongly. You fought bravely. I will report to the headquarters to reward you."
At this moment, a large group of people appeared on the distant ridge and were heading here.
Zhou Liankai's face changed and he shouted, "Adjutant Lu, go see who it is."
"yes."
A well-mannered young officer took out a telescope and looked for a while, and suddenly his face was filled with joy.
"Sir, it's the division commander himself who's here, look."
Zhou Liankai took the telescope, but his face darkened. He knew in his heart that his dream of getting promoted and getting rich was probably going to be shattered. The commander came here at this time to snatch the fruits of victory.
If the master leaves a sip of soup for himself, then he has a conscience.
Soon the team arrived in front of him. Zhou Liankai sighed, suddenly forced a smile on his face, and walked up quickly.
"Reporting to the division commander, I was ordered to defend the field hospital. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and killed 183 enemies, including three lieutenants."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A middle-aged military officer in his forties with pockmarks on his face came over with a big laugh and patted Zhou Liankai on the shoulder affectionately.
"Lian Kai, well done. I was right about you. Let's see if those arrogant bastards dare to look down on us."
Zhou Liankai forced a flattering smile on his face: "I owe my position to Master's cultivation. Liankai is willing to go through fire and water for Master, even if it means death."
"Um."
Guo Wanlin, the commander of this ragtag division, was severely scolded by the commander-in-chief of the right wing corps, Li Pinxian, a few days ago because of his poor fighting performance and repeated breakthroughs of the Japanese army. He was feeling angry, but unexpectedly, a great victory was suddenly achieved here, which was really a timely help.
This great victory was enough to make him proud in front of his colleagues. Not to mention Commander-in-Chief Li Pinxian, even Bai Chongxi, the Little Zhuge of the Fifth War Zone, would probably have to look at him with admiration.
Thinking of this, Guo Wanlin's joy was beyond words. Under normal circumstances, he would just go through the motions when visiting and comforting the wounded. However, at this moment, he was in a good mood and he was so friendly that he took the time to comfort the wounded.
Guo Wanlin stood on the top of the mountain and looked back at the field hospital not far away.
It was dusk at that time, and the field hospital not far away was quiet and peaceful, looming in the distance.
Guo Wanlin suddenly shuddered. This place was about two miles away from the field hospital. What would happen if he didn't find the Japanese troops? Or what would happen if he found them but didn't stop them?
He didn't dare to imagine any further. It could be said that this battle completely changed his destiny.
"Lian Kai, it's a good thing that you set up a sentry post here and discovered this sneaky Japanese army in time, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. Well, give me a report tomorrow, detailing the course of the battle, especially how you discovered this Japanese army, and I will reward him handsomely."
"Yes, Master."
Zhou Liankai saluted but secretly glanced at Liu Zhengfeng.
The bearded man sat opposite Liu Zhengfeng, his face full of envy.
"You are going to be rich, kid. Look, the master will reward you handsomely based on your merits. Bao Dayou, you will also benefit from it."
Bao Dayou had a beaming look on his face and looked at Liu Zhengfeng with gratitude.
"Brother Liu, thank you. I accomplished this without even realizing it."
Liu Zhengfeng looked at Zhou Liankai .
"Bao Dayou, don't rush to thank me. This credit may not belong to you or me."
Bao Dayou was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion.
"The facts are there. If it's not yours or mine, then whose is it?"
The bearded man's eyes flashed, and he suddenly understood the meaning of Liu Zhengfeng's words, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Whoever the commander says it belongs to, it belongs to him."
Bao Dayou was stunned again, and said angrily: "Why?"
Liu Zhengfeng patted Bao Dayou on the shoulder and sighed softly.
Just now, the division commander Guo Wanlin said that it was fortunate that Zhou Liankai set up a guard post here, but Zhou Liankai actually chose to acquiesce. This shows that he can forget about any credit.
If Liu Zhengfeng wanted to make a fuss, it was certainly not impossible for him to take back his credit, but he just didn't want to do that.
He was so unlucky to travel to this world and to a group that was about to collapse. Therefore, he did not want to develop in this corrupt group. The better he developed, the more difficult it would be for him to escape in the future.
The historical trend is rolling forward and no one can change it. His only choice is to abandon darkness and join the light.
In the current historical torrent of the national war of resistance, killing the devils and punishing traitors is the top priority. Killing is killing wherever it happens. Therefore, Liu Zhengfeng is not in a hurry to leave his current environment. As long as he has good moral character and recognizes the general trend, he will have plenty of opportunities to join the arms of our party in the future.
The bearded man looked at Liu Zhengfeng carefully. Ever since he left the field hospital, the performance of this new recruit had been a mystery.
His physical fitness, military quality, and ability to respond to situations on the spot suddenly improved by leaps and bounds, and were incomparable I am also a veteran, but I am far from reaching his level.
In the hand-to-hand combat just now, he killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers by himself. It was incredible. His tactical moves were sometimes fierce and fierce, and sometimes small and light, but they were all equally effective and could kill the enemy.
Who would have thought that such a person was actually an ordinary soldier in a ragtag division.
Those officials are not even worthy of carrying his shoes, but they do have such a super soldier.
The bearded man stared at Liu Zhengfeng blankly, but Liu Zhengfeng suddenly stood up and walked towards the guard battalion commander Zhou Liankai.
He may not want the credit, but he can't let Zhou Liankai take it for free. You can steal the credit from me, but you have to exchange it for guns and bullets.
Liu Zhengfeng saluted.
"Sir, I want a Type 38 rifle and two hundred rounds of ammunition."
Zhou Liankai was secretly depressed because Guo Wanlin had robbed him of the fruits of victory. He said unhappily, "No."
Liu Zhengfeng sneered: "If that's the case, then I'll go ask the master for it."
"return."
He turned and was about to leave, but Zhou Liankai suddenly called him.
Zhou Liankai stared at Liu Zhengfeng and said with a double meaning: "Except for the gun and bullets, you don't want anything else?"
"Yes."
Liu Zhengfeng looked at the other person calmly.
Zhou Liankai looked at Liu Zhengfeng as if he were a monster. He didn't look like a timid person. He wanted to take credit for his contribution, but he was willing to do so as long as he gave him some weapons. He couldn't understand why there were such people in the world.
