Chapter 005 Promoted to Captain, Special Agent Company Commander
Dong Limao looked up at Adjutant Yu who was standing behind Zhu Yongsheng. Judging from the rank of his military uniform, he was a captain.
"You are Dong Jiacheng, the company commander of the 9th Company, the 3rd Regiment of the 200th Division of the Fifth Army?" Adjutant Yu asked coldly with a stern face.
Dong Limao didn't know whether to answer or not, and he couldn't speak in a daze.
"That's right, this is the company commander Dong of our 9th Company." Zhu Yongsheng stood up and answered for Dong Limao.
Adjutant Yu stood at attention, saluted Dong Limao a standard military salute, and then said, "I was appointed by the military captain to hand over this letter of appointment to you." As he said that, he took out a file bag from a brown leather bag he was carrying, squatted down, and handed it to Dong Limao with both hands.
Dong Limao glanced at the corner of his eyes. It was an ordinary kraft paper bag, but the opening was sealed with vermilion fire paint. He asked lightly: "What kind of commission?"
Adjutant Yu was stunned and immediately replied: "I don't know either, I'm just executing the order."
Dong Limao looked at Dao Lanxiang and Zhu Yongsheng. They both stared at the file bag of the officer's hands in surprise, as if they were looking forward to the magical magic inside.
"Platform Commander Zhu, please open it and take a look." Dong Limao was not interested in any of the letters of appointment. It had nothing to do with him. It was for his great-grandfather, not for him.
"I..." Zhu Yongsheng hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to pick up the file bag.
"No! The military captain said that I had to submit this letter of appointment to Company Commander Dong in person!" Adjutant Yu shrank his hand and refused to give it to Zhu Yongsheng.
Dong Limao supported his hands on the ground and wanted to sit up. Dao Lanxiang helped him and let him lean his back against the wall in the basement. He coughed slightly, reached out to take the file bag in the adjutant Yu's hand, and asked casually: "How did Commander Du know that I was awake?"
"I received a call from the hospital yesterday, and the hospital director called the military seat directly." Adjutant Yu replied.
"Why does Commander Du care about me, a little subordinate officer?" Dong Limao asked again with a frown.
"Because you are the pride of our Five Army, Company Commander Dong, you were unconscious, and the military captain visited you in person. It was you who led the Ninth Company and took the lead in breaking through the first line of defense in the Japanese army's Donggua, and our army won the first great victory after entering Myanmar. Company Commander Dong, you have now become a hero of the Expeditionary Force." Adjutant Yu stood up and smiled on his face.
Dong Limao looked at the file bag he took, then tore open the seal and pulled out a piece of straw paper from it. This was the first time Dong Limao saw this paper, and saw a strong and powerful brush letter written on it: "I am appointed as the lieutenant company commander of the 9th Company, the 3rd Regiment of the 200th Division of the National Revolutionary Fifth Army, as the company commander of the special mission company of the military guard regiment, and was promoted to the rank of captain Dong Jiacheng. After he recovered from his injury, he took this handbook and came to the guard regiment as soon as possible to report to the regiment commander Kong Xueli for office. The signature is: Du Yuming, the commander of the Fifth Army of the National Revolutionary Fifth Army. The date is: April 1, 31st year of the Republic of China.
"It's April 2nd today, right?" Dong Limao asked Dao Lanxiang.
Dao Lanxiang nodded, but Adjutant Yu said: "This is what the military commander wrote after receiving the call yesterday afternoon. Because the military headquarters moved forward to Donggua, I came overnight and arrived in Ruili early this morning. I didn't expect that it would be bombed by Japanese planes here. I thought that Company Commander Dong..."
"You thought I was killed by the bomb, right?" Dong Limao snatched the words.
"Haha... Fortunately, Company Commander Dong is lucky and has a great life..." The officer said with a hint of embarrassment.
Dong Limao interrupted him: "There are eleven brothers left in the Ninth Company. You can't reorganize them. I want to bring them by my side. Please tell Commander Du to allow my request." When Dong Limao said this, he felt strange. This was not what he wanted to say. He was originally going to refuse, but for some reason, he said it naturally. Is this the real experience of the great-grandfather at that time?
"I will convey your request to the military seat truthfully." Adjutant Yu replied after hesitating.
Dong Limao then said: "Also, please tell Commander Du that the Japanese army will attack from the direction of Lashio to cut off our army's retreat. Please be sure to strengthen the defense there."
Adjutant Yu stared at him with suspicious eyes and asked, "How do you know the intentions of the Japanese army?"
Dong Limao casually said: "I saw it from the book."
"What I saw in the book?" Adjutant Yu didn't believe it at all.
Dong Limao smiled bitterly and said nothing. Only then did he realize that it was impossible to explain this matter clearly. They would not believe it. If they believed in themselves, the history of the Expeditionary Force might have to be rewritten, and the great-grandfather might not have been killed in the Battle of Songshan two years later. He sighed helplessly, knowing that no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the fate of the Expeditionary Force's final failure, and he was inevitably closely linked to this damn war.
What should I do in the future? What will my great-grandfather’s fate in the remaining two years? What will happen to Daolanxiang? Thinking of this, Dong Limao looked at Daolanxiang.
"Congratulations, Company Commander Dong, you have been promoted!" Dao Lanxiang congratulated Dong Limao with a smile.
Adjutant Yu did not ask what Dong Limao said after her interruption.
"I'm still the company commander, but I'm just promoted to captain." Suddenly, Dong Limao realized that the captain uniform he was wearing in the photo left by his great-grandfather was promoted at this time.
"Company Commander Dong, the Special Corps of the Guard Corps, is all-American equipment. Such a company commander is better than any battalion commander of a regular army. With the military achievements you have made, they will definitely be promoted and reused step by step by step by step by step by military commander. If you take over the Special Corps and make a few more military achievements, maybe this battle is not over yet, and the entire Guard Corps will be yours..." Adjutant Yu seemed to be beginning to curry favor with Dong Li Mao.
"Nothing is the best! If Adjutant Yu, you want to make this kind of military achievements, then I will give the company commander to you and you will charge forward and get into battle. I will not be willing to take the lives of my brothers to seek credit!" Dong Limao shouted excitedly.
Adjutant Yu put his hot face on his cold butt, laughed awkwardly, and said, "I wish Company Commander Dong a speedy recovery. It's time for me to go back to the military headquarters to report to the military throne." Then he saluted and turned around and left.
"Company Commander, if Commander Du disagrees with your request, will we really be reorganized? If that's true, I might as well take the lead in going back to my hometown to sleep with my wife!" Zhu Yongsheng said after Adjutant Yu left.
"Don't worry, great-grandfather..." Dong Limao was going to say, 'Great-grandfather will not leave you alone', but realized that his current role was great-grandfather, so he immediately changed his words and said, "I will not leave you brothers alone."
"Company Commander, I will follow you wherever you go. If you hadn't helped me block it, I would have been shot to death when I was a wanderer a year ago. I was given this life by you. I have no other way to repay you. I will always obey your orders." Zhu Yongsheng patted his chest with his right hand.
