"East Road's suicide squad?" Sun Lianzhong remembered that it was Hao Deshan's suicide squad. There was no news of them after the Battle of Taierzhuang.
"Let him in." Commander Sun said.
Not long after, a report came from the door."Commander, Zhao Daquan from the eastern suicide squad is here to report.”
"Zhao Daquan?" Sun Lianzhong raised his head and looked at him."Oh, I see. You're that student soldier who grinds his beard?”
"Commander, I am the student soldier from before. I am now a member of the suicide squad. I have completed my mission and am here to report.”Zhao Daquan replied.
"Men! Arrest him!" Sun Lianzhong suddenly shouted.
Outside the door, a few guards rushed into the room and pointed their black muzzles at Zhao Daquan. They shouted at him,"Let's go!"
Zhao Daquan calmly adjusted his clothes with his uninjured right hand before turning around and walking out.
"Stop!" Sun Lianzhong quickly called out to him,""Aren't you going to ask why?"
Zhao Daquan turned around and stared at him as he shook his head."I just need to know that you want to arrest me.”
"Heh, you're quite reasonable. Let me ask you, this battle has already ended for a few days, why did you only come back today?”Sun Lianzhong shouted.
"Commander, if I return to the team on time, I will make sure that twenty of my comrades will never come back. What do you think I should choose?" Zhao Daquan asked,
"Besides, after we defeated the Japanese reinforcement team, more than 80 of our comrades will never be able to return.”
"So, did you really destroy the Japanese reinforcements?”Sun Lianzhong hurriedly asked. In fact, it was not that he did not believe it, but he wanted to confirm it.
"More than a dozen Japanese lieutenant generals, more than twenty Japanese civilians, a small team of guards, and five cars were all killed by grenades. Commander, you must have seen this scene before.”Zhao Daquan replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Good job, it's you guys." Sun Lianzhong waved his hand, and the guards immediately retreated.
"Young man, come, sit down." Sun Lianzhong put on a pleasant face."Tell me about the situation at that time and where the suicide squad is now.”
Zhao Daquan did not sit down. He continued to stand and answered,""After we defeated the reinforcement group of the Japanese, we were chased by the Japanese who came to reinforce us. We had no choice but to retreat to Weishan Lake. Fortunately, there was a small boat by the lake. However, there are only twenty-three people left in the team, and all of them are injured. Only Gou Wanzi survived. Including me, I only suffered a slight injury.”
"How is Hao Deshan?" Sun Lianzhong asked again.
"Our leader was shot in the abdomen, but his life is not in danger for the time being.”Zhao Daquan replied.
"Where are the others?"
"There are a total of twenty-eight people. This is the roster. Other than the two of us, the rest of us are seriously injured and can't walk for the time being, so we were sent to report. Commander, should you arrange for someone to bring them back?”
Zhao Daquan and Sun Lianzhong were playing hard to get. He handed over the roster.
"This is a little difficult now. Logically speaking, you guys have made a great contribution this time and should enjoy the treatment of heroes. However, the Japanese army was now mobilizing their forces and was determined to take Xuzhou. Seeing that the war is coming, and our army has suffered heavy losses for a period of time, we really can't spare any manpower.”
Sun Lianzhong took the roster, glanced at it, and handed it to the adjutant.
He frowned and thought for a while, then said to Zhao Daquan,"How about this? I'll give you some medicine and supplies first. You guys can treat your injuries on the spot for the time being. We'll do it after you've recovered-"
However, before he could finish, Zhao Daquan put on a sorrowful expression and asked,""Does the commander not want us anymore?”
"No, no, that's not what I meant. You're all meritorious officials of the party and the country now. How can I not want you? The current situation forced him to do so.”Sun Lianzhong quickly denied.
Zhao Daquan was overjoyed when he heard this. This was the attitude he wanted from Sun Lianzhong.
So he said with grievance," But Commander, we're actually a group of scattered soldiers. Moreover, everyone's injuries won't heal in a day or two. When everyone recovers, we don't even know what the situation will be like. At that time, we won't even have a home. What are we going to do?”
Zhao Daquan's words had indeed poked Sun Lianzhong's sore spot.
This suicide squad was very powerful and had been recognized by the entire army. Not to mention that they had destroyed the command center of the Japanese, they had destroyed more than a hundred Japanese soldiers.
Normally, everyone should be happy to have such a team, but Sun Lianzhong had a knot in his heart, and that knot was Hao Deshan.
Hao Deshan was a tiger. This was something that everyone had acknowledged. Even Chi Fengcheng was impressed by Sun Lianzhong's words," If he had shown up earlier, the battle might not have been like this."
However, what made Sun Lianzhong feel conflicted was that Hao Deshan was a tiger that had a personal grudge against him. Although he had said that he would write off all grudges, he wasn't sure what Hao Deshan was thinking.
This time, Hao Deshan joined the suicide squad, so there should be two outcomes.
The first possibility was that he would not be able to return. Then, things would be easier to handle. By recognizing a martyr, it would also show that he was broad-minded.
The second possibility was that if he returned, it would be easy to deal with. He would be promoted according to his contributions and let him lead troops to fight. At the same time, he would use the rules of the army to restrain him and make him his capable general. It also showed that he would not avoid his enemies.
But now, he was conflicted. He didn't care about others, but Hao Deshan was a tiger. If he abandoned him, it would inevitably arouse his old and new hatred.
At that time, he would be in the open and he would be in the dark. Think about it, if there was a tiger in the dark who was always thinking about you, what kind of scene would that be?
Sun Lianzhong pondered for a moment and finally made a decision in his heart.
He raised his head and said to Zhao Daquan," This problem is easy to solve. Don't disband your suicide squads. I'll give you a battalion. You'll be under the command of the army's teaching corps. You and Hao Deshan will be promoted to major and battalion commander.”
Of course Zhao Daquan could do it, but he still pretended to be in a difficult position."Commander, of course, this is good. However, a clever housewife can't cook a meal without rice. I'm afraid that if the development doesn't go well, I'll be unworthy of your love.”
"Alright, I understand what you mean. I will give you two companies of equipment. In addition, I will give you two portions of the money you deserve. This is Hao Deshan's idea, right?”Sun Lianzhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
