399、Letter of Protest
In the command center, Zhou Yinglong said to Zhang Xiaoman earnestly: "I handed over the battle report yesterday, and today the commander's commendation for you will be given. Special matters during the war are handled, which means that the commander attaches great importance to you."
Zhang Xiaoman looked flattered: "What did the commander say?"
"That's right, your previous military rank is actually half a level higher, but because the Sharp Knife Company is a strengthening company, although your treatment has been improved, your position has not changed," Zhou Yinglong said: "This time you have made a contribution again, and the Cadre Department is ready to start talking to you..."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman already knew what was going on: "I won't leave the Sharp Knife Company!"
Zhou Yinglong was stunned for a moment: "This is a good thing, why are you not happy?"
"Our Sharp Knife Company is now in a tough battle. What's wrong with me being the company commander? Even if I get transferred, it will have to be after the war is over," Zhang Xiaoman raised his voice and shouted.
"Why are you yelling?" Zhou Yinglong was unhappy: "Now I'm just asking you what you think. It's a good thing, what will you do."
"Battery Commander, does the commander want me to give Ren Xiaosu Teng a position? This is OK. You let me be a soldier in the Sharp Knife Company," said Zhang Xiaoman: "I am willing to let him be the company commander, but I will not leave the Sharp Knife Company."
Zhou Yinglong is considered to be out of temper. For example, Zhang Xiaoman is unwilling to be promoted or even willing to be demoted than leave the company. I am afraid that only the troops in their 178 Fortress will be included.
However, Zhou Yinglong said: "Then you should be the commander of your company to the Sharp Knife Company. This matter has nothing to do with Ren Xiaosu. The awards and commendations of your company have been received. All the third-class merits in the company are not his."
"Why?" Zhang Xiaoman was shocked: "Just because he was chosen by the commander, he was so harsh on him?"
Zhang Xiaoman was really stunned. He thought he was transferred to Ren Xiaosu to give Ren Xiaosu a place, although he thought that Ren Xiaosu would not be promoted so quickly.
But the result was the opposite. All of them were awarded, but Ren Xiaosu had nothing.
"Okay, we can't figure out the commander's idea. You can go back first and hold the award ceremony tonight," Zhou Yinglong waved his hand.
Zhang Xiaoman returned to the company absent-mindedly and continued to take everyone to run for fun, but everyone could see that Zhang Xiaoman was worried.
"Company Commander, have you been criticized by the battalion commander?" Jiao Xiaochen asked, "I always feel like you have something to worry about."
Zhang Xiaoman said: "Because of conquering Dingyuan Mountain and Guanshan Mountain, the commander decided to give each of us a third-class merit."
"This is a good thing," Jiao Xiaochen was happy and said, "Maybe we will become officers after fighting the battle."
"What's good," Zhang Xiaoman said: "Only Ren Xiaosu does not have this third-class merit."
As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned: "Why? Even if Ren Xiaosu didn't mention himself in the report, the entire company had third-class merit. Why didn't he? Is there a problem with the report? Let's go to the battalion commander to write a combat report again?"
"Yes, let's go find the commander! This is unfair!"
"Ren Xiaosu has fought his best for the company's mission. If you let him, no one else can climb up the back mountain. Even if you climb up, it may not cause great damage to the bandit's nest," Jiao Xiaochen said urgently: "It should have been his first contribution in this battle!"
Everyone looked at Ren Xiaosu, but Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's useless for me to ask for credit. Don't you ask for commander. Didn't you say that soldiers are in the army, obedience is their duty. Just follow their arrangements. Let's just follow the orders."
Zhang Xiaoman said very unscrupulously: "You have to fight for this breath yourself!"
"What's there to argue about?" Ren Xiaosu smiled and continued to run forward: "Hurry up and fuck, otherwise you won't be able to get to eat later."
Everyone looked at each other, not sure what to say.
...
The medal awarding ceremony at night is more important. The forward base is to treat this medal award as a mobilization meeting to inspire the morale of the army.
However, Zhang Xiaoman called all the sharp sword soldiers except Ren Xiaosu: "You all listen. It is the way for us to write this joint protest. If the commander is unhappy, I am afraid that you will have no future in the army in the future."
"I don't believe it. The commander is not that kind of person. He can listen to the suggestions," Jiao Xiaochen denied: "Anyway, I will sign the signature. This credit must be given to Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu does not fight for it, we will fight for it for him."
Zhang Xiaoman said, "Okay, then I'll write it, you guys sign it!"
A group of rough men lowered their heads and thought about how to write this letter of protest, which really made it difficult for them.
At this time, Zhang Jinglin had arrived at the base of advance and was having a meeting with all the generals of the combat sequence. When he just talked about how to cross the river on the Beiwanhe line, the orderly soldiers outside came in and whispered to him: "All the non-commissioned officers from the Sharp Knife Company came, saying that they were sending letters of protest on behalf of the Sharp Knife Company."
Zhang Jinglin smiled and said, "Didn't you just say you want to give them a third-class merit? Is there anything to protest? Let them come in."
The other generals whispered: "Well, commander, let's go out first?"
"No," Zhang Jinglin shook his head: "Let's hear what our little brothers in the Sharp Knife Company are going to protest."
Zhang Xiaoman, Jiao Xiaochen and other non-commissioned officers were taken into the command camp. Zhang Jinglin smiled and said, "Tell me, what do the heroes who won the first battle want to protest?"
"This is our letter of protest," Zhang Xiaoman handed the wrinkled paper to Zhang Jinglin: "We just think that the treatment Ren Xiaosu suffered is not fair. We want to rewrite the battle report, and he is the first contribution of this battle."
"Oh," Zhang Jinglin nodded and looked at the letter of protest. The signature of the letter was also the signature of all the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company. He said: "What do you mean is that you forged the battle report, are you Zhang Xiaoman and Jiao Xiaochen, who are invincible for military merit?"
Zhang Xiaoman gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you punish us, Commander, we will admit it. But Ren Xiaosu really has made merits. You can't give all of us a third-class merit, but you forgot him. Isn't this slap us in the face?"
Zhang Jinglin said calmly: "We are not right to the people. We forge a battle report to the army to criticize. If you are accused of military merit, you must cancel the third-class merit for all of you this time. Even if you are a meritorious person, you are no exception. As for Ren Xiaosu's affairs, I know."
Zhang Xiaoman and others were a little confused. What does it mean?
After saying that, they were taken out of the tent by the orderly soldiers. Zhang Jinglin smiled and threw the letter of protest to other generals: "Look at it all."
Zhou Yinglong sat at the end, thinking that Commander Zhang looked in a good mood. The Commander threw this letter of protest to other generals, clearly trying to tell all generals what Ren Xiaosu he chose did.
Just a soldier who had just joined the company, how could He De let a group of comrades compete for a third-class merit and help him protest?
Ren Xiaosu is more popular than he imagined in the sharp knife company.
