Chapter 608 Patrolling the Battlefield
On the night of February 19, Zhao Cheng had returned to the country and arrived at the headquarters of the 13th Army.
"Why did you come back suddenly?" Lei Zhen looked at Zhao Cheng in front of him and asked puzzledly.
Zhao Cheng didn't say anything, but pulled out a bunch of epaulettes from his pocket. Among them were a senior colonel, Ruan Haiping's, a lieutenant colonel, the commander of the special forces battalion, two captains, an infantry company commander, a veteran of the special forces battalion, and several other lieutenants and second lieutenants.
The soldiers had even more epaulettes, about one hundred and fifty in total, which surprised Lei Zhen so much that he walked over.
"Whose is this?" Lei Zhen asked in shock, holding the colonel's shoulder strap.
"Nguyen Hai Binh, commander of the 316th Division of Vietnam and chief of staff of the Second Military Region!" Zhao Cheng said as he threw the officer's certificate to Lei Zhen.
Lei Zhen quickly picked it up and took a look. Ruan Haiping's name and position were clearly written on the officer's certificate.
"How did you do it, kid? We wanted to make the 316th Division a fool, but we didn't expect them to run away to Gantang in advance! You have done something that none of our armies have ever managed! Great!" Lei Zhen happily walked around in the command center.
"Xiao Zhao, based on this achievement, you can be promoted to a full-division-level military cadre! Because in the first two days of the war, the highest-ranking officer we killed was a lieutenant! Those with higher ranks were like rabbits, either hiding in the back or running away first!" Lei Zhen looked happily at the shoulder straps on the table.
He was especially moved when he saw that the lieutenant colonel was actually the chief officer of the special forces battalion. He knew that the special forces battalion was equivalent to our special forces!
"You wiped out an entire company of the special forces battalion?" Lei Zhen asked.
"Well, a special forces battalion company and an infantry company! These are the troops that came to chase me after I killed Ruan Haiping! I annihilated them at Ma'anpo! The bodies should still be there!" Zhao Cheng said nonchalantly.
"It seems I have to recommend you for credit now!" Lei Zhen said with a smile.
"It's up to you. I have to make some additions and then we have to set off. These kids are facing a real war for the first time, and I have to go and take a look. By the way, I have to see if I can meet some more senior officers! If I wasn't afraid of alerting the enemy, I would have dealt with those regiment commanders!" After Zhao Cheng finished speaking, he walked out of Lei Zhen's command center.
Lei Zhen was left in a state of confusion by Zhao Cheng's blunt insistence on taking care of his own children. But no one could say anything about it. After all, it took the entire army two days to kill a company commander, and look at Zhao Cheng, who had brought back a colonel, a lieutenant colonel, and several lieutenants in just two days! Comparison is the thief of rage!
Lei Zhen quickly reported Zhao Cheng's victory to General Yang, who was delighted again. He laughed loudly in the headquarters and said that even tigers are very picky when eating people!
Zhao Cheng arrived near the Ninth Company on the 20th. At that time, the Ninth Company had suffered one-third casualties after a difficult blocking battle and had to rest temporarily in place.
Liang Sanxi and Jin Kailai were both seriously injured. One was shot in the stomach, and the other was hit by a mortar, and a piece of shrapnel cut off half of Jin Kailai's ear.
As for Beijing boy Lei Kaihua, although he was not seriously injured, he was still shot in the shoulder, and the bullet took away a piece of flesh from his shoulder.
Zhao Mengsheng was a bit miserable. He went from a pretty boy to a rough guy, and a scar of nearly ten centimeters appeared on his face.
Zhao Laosi didn't run away either. He was bragging with these people with his arms hanging down.
The Ninth Company lost twelve men and more than thirty were injured. In order to protect Liang Sanxi, Xiao Zhuzi had his arm broken by a heavy machine gun.
"Are you blocking the enemy special forces battalion? Why are there so many casualties?" Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Weimin in front of him and asked curiously.
"Dad, there's really no other way! The follow-up troops in the battalion can't get up for a while, and the enemy has launched a whole regiment charge. We only have so many people, what can we do? We can only fight with all our might! The main force arrived only after we repelled the enemy's two regimental and battalion-level attacks. If it's any later, we will all have to go see grandma!" Wei Min said helplessly with a bitter face.
He was the least injured among them, having only been stabbed in the arm by a Vietnamese bayonet, but he was responsible for the most kills, killing nearly a hundred in total! More than twenty of them were killed in hand-to-hand combat.
If it weren't for him, a sharpshooter and a master of combat, all the commanders of the Ninth Company might have died on that nameless hill.
"Okay, since you are injured, then take a good rest! If there is a chance, keep going up. If there is no chance, we can talk about it later. This war will not end so easily. It would be unreasonable not to make good use of the free whetstone that was given to you with great difficulty!" Zhao Cheng patted the fourth brother's shoulder and said.
The fourth child was very smart. He immediately understood the hidden meaning behind his father's words, but he did not say anything. It is better not to spread such things.
"By the way, where is your third brother? Have you met the fifth brother? And where are they?" Zhao Cheng asked.
"Although the 14th Army where Third Brother is located is cooperating with us in the battle, they are in the Old Street area in the east! After Fifth Brother helped us occupy these two heights, he received a mission and headed southeast. I guess he went to Gantang? It seems that only there are targets worth their attack!" said Fourth Brother.
"Gantang in the southeast direction? They are not going to blow up the phosphate mine in Gantang, right?" Zhao Cheng was a little surprised.
In real time and space, Gantang was captured by us, and the entire phosphate mine was blown up with a large amount of explosives. Many of the machinery and equipment were shipped back to China.
"That should be it. I heard that the phosphate mine in Gantang is the most important export product of these ungrateful wolves. If we blow them up, those ungrateful wolves will suffer heavy losses!" said the fourth brother.
"Okay, I'll go check on the fifth brother. They should have almost completed their mission by now. After all, it's the third day of the war!" After Zhao Cheng finished speaking, he patted the fourth brother's shoulder and left without staying.
"Wei Min, where is Uncle Zhao going?" Zhao Mengsheng saw Zhao Cheng leaving and ran over to ask.
"My dad came to check on us brothers and saw that I was fine, so he went to see my fifth brother!" said the fourth brother.
Zhao Mengsheng was a little speechless after hearing what the fourth brother said. I know your father is a powerful person, but is it really good for you to say it so openly to see the situation of your own children?
However, Zhao Mengsheng had experienced the baptism of war at this time, especially Liang Sanxi and Jin Kailai were injured in order to save him, which made him very guilty, so the current Zhao Mengsheng is no longer the playboy who just joined the company.
