Chapter 88 Chen Hu
Feng Tiankui looked at Qin Guoliang. Luo Jialie listened with great interest before continuing.
"There is a valley on the top of Tianxuan Village. Zhou Xiaoshan immediately ordered his sharpshooters to hide quickly and occupy several locations with very subtle distances. When they arrived at the location, he quickly commanded his three companies and platoons to follow his impromptu plan to penetrate and cut the bandits apart before they could even gather If there was any resistance, the sharpshooter would call out their names without hesitation. The bandits were shot in the head and hit the back, like a smashed watermelon. There was no gunfire, so they were scared crazy. I remember that the enemy didn't fire a single shot after we took down the entire village. Most of Liu Chenghuo's soldiers in Qinglonggou were shocked by his way of fighting."
The way Zhou Xiaoshan fought in the valley of Tianxuan Village, with the fully armed guard battalion divided into groups of three, advancing in turns and cooperating in perfect harmony, was like a force of gods descending from the sky. When Feng Tiankui recalls it now, he still feels shocked.
Unfortunately, I was unable to personally go to the Hanzhong to Xi'an section to suppress the bandits because of the battle to retake Bazhong.
"What a complete victory! You defeated this guy's bandit commander, and he didn't say anything?"
"fart."
Feng Tiankui raised his eyebrows, remembering the bastard's sarcastic complaints along the way.
"At that time, I felt that even if the three of us went in person, we would not be able to achieve such a high level of command. Since this guy is setting the stage, we might as well let Tianshu, Chunhua and Guo Jiahuai give it a try. Chu Tianshu suggested that we immediately hang the head of Qinling on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway to vent the anger of the merchants and establish the prestige of our 66th Division. As soon as I agreed, that guy said in a weird way that we were crazy."
Luo Jialie and Qin Guoliang burst into laughter. That was right. This was the brave Zhou Xiaoshan they were familiar with.
Even the commander dared to mock him.
"It is said that the first village you attacked was Tianxuan Village. Is he afraid that you will scare away the other bandits?"
Qin Guoliang attracted Feng Tiankui's attention again. Luo Jialie suddenly realized what was going on but didn't react, but he did.
“I was so angry that I kicked Chu Tianshu.”
Donggua had no choice but to grind the watermelon. Luo Jialie and Qin Guoliang laughed so hard that they fell backwards.
"All the way there, he kept cursing at me in a sarcastic tone. He said that those soldiers were great soldiers, and that as long as they had some technical moves or tactical changes from their training, this bastard would either mock me for training on dogs, or ask if my mother had thrown me away when she gave birth to me, but kept the placenta. I was very surprised at the time. Can your placenta eat and grow so big?"
Zhou Xiaoshan's cursing was a common sight in Yongzhou City and the 66th Division. Not only did he not use any dirty words, but he also used different ways of cursing.
Idiot, idiot, fool, polio, countless new words popped up.
I heard that if the workers in the glass factory did not strictly follow his regulations, the supervisor would scold them so badly that they would not even recognize their parents. He said he would rather be beaten with a stick than have his words of cursing spread out and be laughed at to death.
"I was so depressed that I hit him right away to stop humiliating my soldiers like that."
The two people around him laughed so hard that tears came out.
"I can see that this kid studied at a normal school and learned how to teach, but all he can think about is how to scold students. Fortunately, his family fell into poverty and he joined the army. If someone sends their child to him for teaching, they will be in trouble for the rest of their lives."
After listening to what Luo Jialie said, Qin Guoliang shook his head. He did not agree with this statement.
"That's not the case. Some time ago, I felt that the soldiers in the special forces battalion had undergone tremendous changes in the past few months under Zhou Xiaoshan's command. I was wondering if we could transfer some of them to serve as grassroots officers in various companies."
"I think it's a pity for these soldiers in the Special Service Battalion to stay together since they are literate, knowledgeable, and capable, especially since they have broadened their horizons after their trip to Pingjin. At least during training, they should be dispersed to strengthen the training of each brigade, and then temporarily transferred back when needed in war."
Feng Tiankui's pupils shrank. He had just told Zhou Xiaoshan about this matter before leaving. He didn't expect that Qin Guoliang and Luo Jialie had the same idea as him.
"So, I sent two staff officers to the three companies that Zhou Xiaoshan was in charge of at the time to solicit the soldiers' opinions one by one. However, no soldier in the special forces battalion was willing to leave, even if they were promoted to platoon leader leader. They said that Zhou Xiaoshan had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and was actually very good to the soldiers. They listened to Longmenzhen every night, learned to read, and gained knowledge. Now they can write letters home."
This is a troublesome matter.
He doesn't even want to be an official, but insists on being a soldier.
Such a strange thing has never happened in the 66th Division.
"More than 500 people, with only one exception. He is Chen Hu, the current commander of the first company of the special forces battalion."
"Chen Hu?"
Feng Tiankui suddenly remembered who this person was. He was the platoon leader from the Third Guard Company who smiled at everyone he met and looked particularly naive when he smiled. No matter whether Marshal Liu wanted to eat fish or he wanted him to do 400-meter obstacle courses and coordinated obstacle training equipment, this person did a great job and listened patiently to Qin Guoliang's introduction.
"Chen Hu's family is a farmer from Langzhong. He was an honest soldier. Because he had been in the 66th Division for a long time and had enough experience, he became a squad leader. Later, he said a few good words for the former third company commander and was promoted to platoon leader. He felt that he was too old and a slow learner, and it was far less enjoyable for him to do carpentry, blacksmithing, and stonemasonry work. In his previous platoon, everyone's skills were not very good, and he felt that he could manage them. Now he has 180 soldiers under him, and each of them has unique skills. If it weren't for Zhou Xiaoshan, he would not be able to manage them at all."
I see. Luo Jialie and the others thought that Chen Hu and Zhou Xiaoshan had some conflict.
"He felt that his subordinates Luo Liang and Chen Zuyun, whether in combat or training, could understand Zhou Xiaoshan's intentions and were more suitable for the position of company commander than himself. If possible, he still did not want to leave the headquarters. He said that Zhou Xiaoshan felt that the 66th Division should build an engineering corps specializing in bridge and road construction, laying and digging mines to enrich its fighting style. He wanted to be the commander of the engineering corps."
"This is a good soldier who understands the overall situation, can spot talents, and dares to give up his position."
Feng Tiankui stood up and paced around the office. Chen Hu just lacked confidence in his skills and cultural learning progress in front of the Soldier King. It was definitely not a problem of ability. At least the first company was no worse than the second and third companies in terms of tactical organization and training.
Thinking of this, I made a decision.
"How can a company commander of a special forces battalion be a company commander after he is transferred out? When they come back, we will form an engineering battalion directly under the division headquarters. Let Chen Hu consult Xiaoshan and train us an engineering team with outstanding capabilities. I want to see how this guy can enrich our fighting style."
"But what about the others who don't want to leave?"
"What else can we do? Let Zhou Xiaoshan chase them away. At worst, we can agree to them and transfer one to two months every year for concentrated rotation training."
When talking about that bastard Zhou Xiaoshan, laughter is always heard in the headquarters office.
Qin Guoliang discovered that Feng Tiankui was not only accustomed to Zhou Xiaoshan's way of cheating people, but he also began to treat him in his own way. Perhaps they were both the same kind of people.
Unfortunately, he has to leave the headquarters and go to Bazhong again tomorrow.
I can only contact my commander via telegram every day.
He Guoguang has set his sights on Bazhong and wants Liu Xiang to give the territory to the Central Army. The worst-case scenario is to give it to Sichuan warlord Yang Sen, who is currently negotiating and exchanging terms with Marshal Liu in Chongqing.
