Chapter 7: The Battalion Commander is Afraid of the Regimental Commander

  The laughter was interrupted by a few piercing car horn sounds coming from afar, and everyone turned their faces towards the direction of the horn.

  "How did this dwarf pumpkin get here?" Zhu Yongsheng muttered.

  Dong Li Mao heard Zhu Yong Sheng's words and knew that the regiment commander of the third regiment had arrived. He hoped that this short pumpkin regiment commander was not Tu Hong Bo, otherwise he would be too miserable, having crossed over for no reason to become Tai Gong Gong and still having to take orders from this young man Tu Hong Bo.

  Only at the entrance of the hospital, behind an American jeep, several British military trucks were parked, and soldiers kept jumping off the truck, under the shouting of several officers, to join the team for rescuing the wounded and transporting the bodies. A short and stout officer jumped off the American jeep, took off his military cap, and wiped his forehead and neck with a white handkerchief from his pocket.

  "Is he Dwarf Pumpkin?" Dong Limao walked closer to Zhu Yongsheng and asked. He felt relieved in his heart, it was not his classmate Winter Melon.

  "Company Commander, don't you really remember the Regimental Commander?" Zhu Yongsheng looked at Dong Li Mao with a puzzled expression, then continued: "It was he who gave the order to have our 9th Company take the lead, otherwise it wouldn't be our brothers from the 9th Company's turn to charge forward."

  "Oh, why?" Dong Li Mao's eyebrows slightly furrowed, how would he know so much.

  "We, the 9th company, were the worst equipped in the entire regiment. When we gathered at Anning, you and the battalion commander jointly exposed the fact that the short pumpkin had deducted the brothers' military pay, which made him resentful. So when we arrived in Burma, he assigned one battalion to participate in the Donggua raid and recommended our 9th company to be the vanguard..." Zhu Yongsheng said with gritted teeth.

  "I get it, if it weren't for his damn fault, the 9th Company wouldn't be left with just you few brothers! This debt, I'll settle with him sooner or later!" Dong Li Mao seemed to understand the reason behind it, and after saying that, he strode towards Commander Duan Donggua.

  Zhu Yongsheng gave Zhang Dali a wink.

  Zhang Dali nodded and waved his hand at the others, saying: "Let's go! We can't let Lianzhang lose out!"

  The leader of the dwarf winter melon group saw Dong Li Mao rushing towards him in a rage and took two steps back, his hair standing on end.

  "Dong Lianchang, what's going on..." The short pumpkin captain subconsciously reached for the handgun at his waist.

  Dong Li Mao touched his gun hand and looked at it, with a sarcastic smile: "Captain, I'm still alive, not a ghost, you don't have to be so afraid!"

  The dwarf winter melon glanced at the several guards holding submachine guns beside him, seemingly feeling safe under their protection, and shouldn't lose his team leader's identity, so he puffed out his chest and shouted loudly: "How dare you! Why don't you salute!"

  Dong Li Mao pulled out the letter of appointment from Du Yuming's pocket, with the side with writing facing towards Xiao Dong Gua: "Take a good look! This is the letter of appointment written by Commander Du himself! From now on, I am no longer the company commander of the 3rd battalion, Commander Du has appointed me as the company commander of the special operations company of the military department's guard battalion!"

  The dwarf winter melon widened its eyes in disbelief, hesitated and slowly approached Dong Li Mao, leaning its head closer to take a look.

  Dong Li Mao suddenly took back the letter of appointment, folded it well and put it back in his pocket, saying: "How about it? Isn't General Du's handwriting correct?"

  The dwarf pumpkin stretched his fat neck, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stuttered: "Is... is what... In the team department, I haven't received formal documents from the military department yet. You are still a member of the third team, still my subordinate Kong Xiangfei." The dwarf pumpkin seemed to have found a reason to be self-righteous, his voice also rose by several degrees: "Besides, you're just a small captain, and during my handling of official business, you dare to speak to your superior officer in such a disrespectful tone. I can completely follow military regulations and put you on trial!"

  Zhu Yongsheng and the ten others stood behind Dong Li Mao, hearing that Dwarf Pumpkin wanted to punish Lian Zhang, each one glaring at Dwarf Pumpkin with anger.

  Dong Li Mao stared coldly at the dwarf pumpkin, thinking: Fortunately, he is not Tu Hongbo, otherwise, I would have slapped him a few times.

  "Aren't you afraid that after I take office in the Special Operations Unit, I'll expose your ugly deeds to Commander Du? You should know that Commander Du has always despised corruption and embezzlement among military officers, especially withholding military pay." Dong Li Mao didn't put Colonel Zhang's position as a regiment commander in his eyes at all, using what he had just heard from Zhu Yongsheng about withholding military pay to threaten him.

  No need to say, this trick is quite useful, and it really shocked the dwarf pumpkin. Probably he didn't know that Du Yuming had deducted military pay, so he immediately changed his face and smiled, flattering Dong Li Mao: "Dong Lianzhang, you are our team's pride, a hero of the Fifth Army. I knew you were transferred from the front line to the rear for treatment, as your team leader, I should have come to visit you in person, but due to busy official duties, the military seat handed over the defense of Ruili to me, how could I be careless? So when I heard that Japanese planes bombed the hospital, I immediately led a company to come over, first to handle the transfer and aftermath of the wounded, and secondly, also to protect the safety of this great hero." He looked around and said: "Ah, look here, it's already become a ruin, it's impossible to recover from injuries here, let's go to the team's medical unit to rest instead."

  "This won't trouble Captain Kong anymore!" Dong Li Mao said to the brothers behind him, then turned to Guan and said: "Please arrange for my brothers to be equipped with weapons and a military vehicle. We will report to the military department in a few days. By the way, I have something to tell you - these eleven remaining brothers from the 9th company have already been selected for the special forces company, Captain Kong doesn't need to bother with reorganizing them anymore."

  Zhu Yongsheng took a step forward and added loudly: "Also, pay back all the wages owed to our brothers!"

  "That's right! Including those brothers who died in battle!" Dong Li Mao echoed, "Zhu Pai Zhang, you must personally oversee this matter, not a single cent can be missing. If anyone dares to play any tricks, don't blame me for being impolite!" The last sentence, Dong Li Mao said with his eyes wide open and staring at Zhu Pai Zhang.

  The dwarf winter melon team leader used a handkerchief to continuously wipe the sweat that kept appearing on his face and neck, turned his head to an officer behind him and said: "Did you hear what Captain Dong said? Why aren't you acting according to what he said?"

  "Commander..." The deputy officer seemed hesitant to say something.

  "Cut the crap! Get it done for me now! If you can't, I'll deal with you first!" The dwarf pumpkin bellowed angrily at his deputy.

  The deputy officer straightened his waist, raised his head, stood at attention and replied loudly: "Yes!" Then he glanced at Zhu Yongsheng and said: "Let's go, Squad Leader Zhu."

  Zhu Yongsheng didn't move, but instead looked at Dong Li Mao.

  "Alright, go and get that share for those brothers who died in battle too. Then find a way to send it back to their families."

  "Go!" Zhu Yongsheng said to Zhang Dali and others, eleven people followed that deputy officer onto a truck.

  Dolan Xiang and Dean Jin walked over, Dean Jin was very grateful for the timely dispatch of troops to help Dwarf Winter Melon. However, Dwarf Winter Melon didn't hear what Dean Jin said at all, but instead stared foolishly at Dolan Xiang with a pair of turbid eyeballs that seemed to be about to pop out from under his puffy eyelids, and his oily lips moved as if there was a delicious meal in front of him waiting to be devoured.
