399. Letter of protest

In the headquarters, Zhou Yinglong said earnestly to Zhang Xiaoman: "Yesterday I handed in the battle report, and today the commander's commendation came down to you. Special handling of special matters during wartime 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 level higher, but because of the sharp knife company It's a strengthened company, so although your salary has been improved, your position has not changed," Zhou Yinglong said: "You have made meritorious service again this time, and the Cadre Department is going to start talking to you..."

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 aren't you happy?"

"Why are you yelling?" Zhou Yinglong was unhappy: "Now I'm just asking you what you think. It's a good thing in the first place and I want you to change it into something."

" Battalion Commander, does the commander want me to give Ren Xiaosu a position? That's okay, you let me be a soldier in the Sharp Sword Company," Zhang Xiaoman said, "I am willing to let him be the company commander, but I will not leave the Sharp Sword Company."< /p>

Zhou Yinglong has lost his temper. For example, Zhang Xiaoman is unwilling to be promoted, and would even rather be demoted than leave the company. I am afraid that this situation is only seen in their 178 Fortress troops.

However, 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 medals and awards have already been issued. The whole company is third-class, but only Without him."

"Why?" Zhang Xiaoman was shocked: "Just because he is the one chosen by the commander, so you are so harsh to him?"

Now Zhang Xiaoman is really so harsh. He was stunned. He originally thought that he was transferred to make room for Ren Xiaosu, although he thought that Ren Xiaosu would not be promoted so quickly.

But the result was the other way around. The entire company received awards, but Ren Xiaosu received nothing.

"Okay, we can't figure out the commander's thoughts. You can go back first and the medal ceremony will be held in the evening," Zhou Yinglong waved his hand.

Zhang Xiaoman returned to the company absentmindedly and continued to lead everyone in running exercises, 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 that you have something on your mind."

Zhang Xiaoman said: "Because we captured Dingyuan Mountain and Guanshan, the commander decided to give each of us a third-class meritorious service."

"This is a good thing," Jiao Xiaochen said happily: "Maybe we will all become officers after the battle."< /p>

"What a good thing," Zhang Xiaoman said, "Ren Xiaosu is the only one who doesn't have this third-class skill."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned: "Why? Even if you don't have this third-class skill." Ren Xiaosu didn't mention himself much in the report., but the whole company has third-class merit, why doesn't he? Is there something wrong with the report? Let's go find the battalion commander and write a new battle report? "

"Yes, let's go find the commander! This is not fair! "

"Ren Xiaosu has risked his life for the mission of the company. If you let him and the others can't climb that back mountain, even if they climb up, they may not be able to cause great damage to the bandits' den. Destruction," Jiao Xiaochen said urgently: "He should have been the first to do this battle!

Everyone looked at Ren Xiaosu, but Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "It's okay. It's useless for me to take credit. There's no need to help me find the commander. Didn't you say that soldiers are in the army?" Here, obedience is our bounden duty. Just let the superiors arrange whatever they want. We can just follow orders. "

Zhang Xiaoman said very ironically: "You have to fight for this breath yourself! "

"What's there to argue about?" Ren Xiaosu smiled and continued running forward: "Hurry up and do some exercises, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with dinner later. ”

Everyone looked at each other and didn’t know what to say.

……

The awarding ceremony in the evening was more important. The advancing base was to present this awarding ceremony to It was held as a mobilization meeting to boost military morale.

However, Zhang Xiaoman called all the soldiers of the Sharp Sword Company together except Ren Xiaosu: "Listen up, let's write this joint letter. Protesting is a way of overcoming superiors. If the commander is unhappy, I'm afraid you will have no future in the military. "

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

Zhang Xiaoman said: “Okay, then I’ll write it and you guys sign it!” ”

A group of rough guys lowered their heads and thought about how to write this letter of protest. It was really embarrassing for them.

At this time, Zhang Jinglin had arrived at the forward base and was having a meeting with the generals of all combat orders. Just when he was talking about how to cross the Beiwan River, the orderly from outside came in and whispered to him: "All the non-commissioned officers of the Sharp Blade Company are here, saying that they are sending a letter of protest on behalf of the entire Sharp Blade Company. ”

Zhang Jinglin smiled: “Didn’t I just say that I would give them third-class merit? If there is anything to protest, let them come in.”

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

"No need," Zhang Jinglin shook his head: "Listen to what our little brothers from the Sharp Knife Company are going to protest. "

Zhang Xiaoman, Jiao Xiaochen and other non-commissioned officers were brought into the command camp. Zhang Jinglin smiled and said: "Tell me, what do our 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 Ren Xiaosu's treatment is unfair. We want to rewrite the battle report. He is the The first achievement of this battle. "

"Oh," Zhang Jinglin nodded and read the protest letter. The letter was signed with a sharp knife.He asked for the signatures of the soldiers, "What do you mean, you forged the battle report and you, Zhang Xiaoman and Jiao Xiaochen, pretended to receive military merit?"

Zhang Xiaoman gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you, Commander, punish us , we also admit it, but Ren Xiaosu really has merit. You can't give all of us a third-class merit and then forget about him. Isn't this a slap in our face?"

Zhang Jinglin said calmly: "If we treat the situation differently, forge battle reports and report criticism to the army, and pretend to receive military merit, the third-class merit of all of you must be cancelled. Even if you are the meritorious officials, there will be no exception. As for Ren Xiaosu's matter, I know."

Zhang Xiaoman and others were a little confused. What does it mean to know?

After saying that, they were taken out of the tent by the orderlies. Zhang Jinglin threw the protest letter to the other generals with a smile: "Let's all take a look."

Zhou Yinglong sat At the end, he thought to himself that Commander Zhang seemed to be in a good mood. The commander threw this letter of protest to the other generals to read. He clearly wanted to tell all the generals what Ren Xiaosu, whom he had selected, had done.

He was just a soldier who had just joined the company. How could He De help a group of comrades to protest for a third-class meritorious service?

This Ren Xiaosu is more popular in the sharp knife company than imagined.

If you are a beam of light, you will eventually encounter other lights behind the dark thundercloud.
