Three Hundred and Ninety-Nine, Protest Letter

In the headquarters, Zhou Yinglong said to Zhang Xiaoman earnestly: "Yesterday I handed in the battle report, and today the Commander's commendation for you came down. Special matters during the war have been specially handled, which shows that the Commander attaches great importance to you."

Zhang Xiaoman looked flattered: "What did the commander say?"

"That's right, your previous military rank was actually half a rank higher, but because the Sharp Knife Company is an enhanced company, so although your salary has been improved, your position has not changed," Zhou Yinglong said: "This time you have made meritorious service again." , the cadre department is going to start talking to you..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman already knew what was going on: "I will not leave Sharp Knife Company!"

Zhou Yinglong was stunned for a moment: "This is a good thing, why aren't you happy?"

"Our Sharp Knife Company is now fighting tough battles. What's the matter with me, the company commander, leaving? Even if I am transferred, it will be after the war is over," Zhang Xiaoman shouted loudly.

"Why are you yelling?" Zhou Yinglong was unhappy: "Now I'm just asking about your thoughts. It's a good thing in the first place, and I asked you to make something up."

"Commander, does the commander want me to make room for Ren Xiaosu? That's fine too, you let me be a soldier in the Sharp Knife Company," Zhang Xiaoman said, "I am willing to let him be the company commander, but I will not leave the Sharp Knife Company."

Zhou Yinglong has lost his temper. For example, Zhang Xiaoman is unwilling to be promoted, and even prefers to be demoted rather than leave the company. I'm afraid it will only happen in his 178th Fortress.

But Zhou Yinglong said: "Then you should be the commander of your sharp knife company. This matter has nothing to do with Ren Xiaosu. Your company's honors and awards have already come down. The whole company has third-class merit, but he is not there."

"Why?" Zhang Xiaoman was shocked: "Because he was chosen by the commander, so you are so harsh on him?"

Zhang Xiaoman was really stunned at this moment, he thought he was transferred to make room for Ren Xiaosu, although he thought that Ren Xiaosu's promotion would not be so fast.

But the result turned out to be the other way around, the whole company was rewarded, but Ren Xiaosu got nothing.

"Okay, we can't figure out the commander's idea, you go back first, and the award ceremony will be held tonight," Zhou Yinglong waved his hand.

Zhang Xiaoman returned to the company absent-mindedly, and continued to run with everyone, but everyone could see that Zhang Xiaoman was worried.

"Company commander, have you been bullied by the battalion commander?" Jiao Xiaochen asked, "I always feel that you have something on your mind."

Zhang Xiaoman said: "Because we captured Dingyuan Mountain and Guanshan Mountain,

The commander decided to give each of us a third-class merit. "

"It's a good thing," Jiao Xiaochen said joyfully, "Maybe we'll become officers after we've fought with sharp knives."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xiaoman said, "Only Ren Xiaosu doesn't have this third-class skill."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned: "Why? Even if Ren Xiaosu didn't mention himself in the report, the whole company has third-class merit. Why didn't he? Is there something wrong with the report? Write a combat report?"

"Yeah, let's go to the commander! It's not fair!"

"Ren Xiaosu has devoted his life to the mission of the company. You let no one else climb up the back mountain. Even if they climb up, they may not be able to cause great damage to the bandits' nest," Jiao Xiaochen said urgently: "It should have been his first effort in this battle!"

Everyone looked at Ren Xiaosu, but Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "It's okay, it's useless for me to ask for credit. You don't need to help me find the commander. Didn't you say that in the army, obedience is a bounden duty? Just let them make arrangements, we just follow orders."

Zhang Xiaoman said very firmly: "You have to fight for this!"

"What's there to argue about?" Ren Xiaosu smiled and continued to run forward: "Hurry up and run, or you won't be able to catch up with dinner later."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

...

The award ceremony at night is more important. The advanced base regards this award as a mobilization meeting to inspire the morale of the army.

However, Zhang Xiaoman called all the sharp-knife company soldiers except Ren Xiaosu together: "Listen well, we wrote this joint protest letter as a way of attacking the enemy. If the commander is not happy, I am afraid that you will have no future in the army. gone."

"I don't believe it. The commander is not that kind of person. He can listen to suggestions," Jiao Xiaochen denied. "Anyway, I will sign. This credit must be given to Ren Xiaosu. If Ren Xiaosu doesn't fight, we will fight for him."

Zhang Xiaoman said: "Okay, then I will write it, and you sign it!"

A group of rough men lowered their heads and pondered how to write this letter of protest, and it was really embarrassing for them.

At this time, Zhang Jinglin had arrived at the advance base, and was having a meeting with the generals of all combat sequences. When he was talking about how to cross the river on the Beiwan River, the orderly outside came in and whispered to him: "All the non-commissioned officers of the Sharp Knife Company come and say yes." Send a letter of protest on behalf of the Sharp Knife Company.”

Zhang Jinglin smiled: "Didn't you just say that you would give them third-class merit? If there is anything to protest, let them in."

The other generals whispered: "Then let's go out first, Commander?"

"No need," Zhang Jinglin shook his head, "Listen to what our little brother from the Sharp Knife Company wants to protest."

Zhang Xiaoman, Jiao Xiaochen and other non-commissioned officers were brought into the command tent, 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 crumpled paper to Zhang Jinglin: "We just feel that the treatment Ren Xiaosu suffered was unfair. We want to rewrite the battle report. He is the first person in this battle."

"Oh," Zhang Jinglin nodded and looked at the protest letter, which was signed by all the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company. He said, "You mean that you forged the battle report, and you, Zhang Xiaoman and Jiao Xiaochen, pretended to be military leaders?"

Zhang Xiaoman gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you punish us, Commander, we will admit it, but Ren Xiaosu really deserved merit, you can't give all of us a third-class merit and forget him in the end, isn't that a slap in the face for us. "

Zhang Jinglin said calmly: "We treat the matter wrongly, we forge the battle report and report it to the army for criticism, and pretend to be the leader of the army, then all of you must cancel the third-class merit this time, even if you are heroes, there is no exception. As for the matter of Ren Xiaosu, we will knew."

Zhang Xiaoman and the others were a little confused, what does it mean to know?

After finishing speaking, they were taken out of the tent by the orderlies. Zhang Jinglin smiled and threw the letter of protest to the other generals: "Let's all have a look."

Zhou Yinglong sat at the end, thinking that Commander Zhang seemed to be in a good mood. The commander threw this letter of protest to the other generals, clearly to tell all the generals what Ren Xiaosu, whom he had chosen, had done.

It's just a soldier who just joined the company, how can He De let a group of comrades fight for a third-class merit, and help him protest?

Ren Xiaosu is more popular than expected in Sharp Knife Company.

If you yourself are a ray of light, you will eventually meet other lights behind that dark thundercloud.
