Chapter 27: The Reward of the Department of Education (Seeking Collection Volume)

  "Alright, Old Li, don't make things difficult for these two kids anymore... Old Li, you go ahead and read out the commendation order from the headquarters first! Let these two young generals take a good delight..." Seeing Political Commissar Li Tianyou still wanting to continue questioning, Huang Kecheng Commander couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, hastily stopping him.

  "Well, Zhang Hua, Xu Bin, now I will personally read out the commendation order from the division to your special operations company." As he spoke, Political Commissar Li Tianyou walked over to the conference table, picked up a commendation order document and stood up.

  In recognition of the great achievements of the 10th Special Operations Company, after research and decision by the division party committee, it was decided to commend the company commander Zhang Hua... Of course, what followed was the commendation from the division headquarters for the special operations company. As for Zhang Hua and Xu Bin, without a doubt, one of them once again received the honor of a First-Class Merit citation.

  "How about it, Zhang Lianchang and Xu Guanzhang? Are you satisfied with this commendation order from the division?" Just as Political Commissar Li Tianyou finished reading the commendation order in his hand, Commander Huang Kecheng, who had been sitting in the middle of the conference room, spoke with a smile.

  "Report to all leaders, thank you for your concern about the special task force. The special task force will not disappoint everyone's expectations and continue to achieve even more brilliant results." After hearing the commendation order, Zhang Hua was overjoyed. It's worth noting that these commendation orders, in later times, especially during several domestic movements, were lifesavers.

  "Ah... Zhang Lianchang, Xu Guiding, this time your special operations company has achieved such a great feat. Just look at these spoils of war, with so many spoils, it greatly alleviates the logistical pressure on our Red Army. Adding to that, the food you captured in Nanwan is enough for our entire Red Army to eat for a month... Hehe, having achieved such a great feat, do you two have any requests? Feel free to ask, as long as it's not too excessive, I'll make an exception and try my best to satisfy your demands."

  "Yes, Commander. Actually, there are no specific requirements, just wanting to ask the commander for some old soldiers..." After hearing Division Commander Huang Kecheng's words, Zhang Hua was excited for a moment. Although he had just asked the regimental commander for ten old soldiers and cadres, Zhang Hua was not satisfied because his special operations company still had many types of troops that were severely understaffed.

  "Huh? Wanting more troops. I heard Yang Battalion Commander's report, your special operations company now has nearly 300 men, which is almost as many as some main force battalions. Do you still want more troops?" Huang Ke Cheng asked with interest after hearing Zhang Hua's response.

  "Reporting to the superior officer, it's about soldiers. However, I don't want just any ordinary Red Army soldier..." Upon hearing the division commander's tone, Zhang Hua immediately sensed that something was up and excitedly said.

  "Huh? Not just any ordinary Red Army soldier, then what kind of soldier do you want? Tell me, let's see if my Fourth Division has such a soldier. If we do, I'll definitely satisfy your request." Huang Kecheng continued to ask with a smile. The other leaders in the conference room, after hearing Zhang Hua's response, were all smiling and looking at the young man in front of them, wanting to hear more about it.

  "Commander, although our special forces company currently has nearly 300 soldiers. However, almost half of the soldiers in the entire company are prisoners of war who have been educated by us. Therefore, the entire company urgently needs veteran soldiers to lead the team. Additionally, our entire company does not have a single artilleryman, signal corps soldier, or cavalry soldier. If we capture these equipment in future battles, the soldiers will only be able to stare blankly and won't know how to use them. Thus, I would like to request from you several signal corps soldiers, artillerymen, cavalrymen... as well as some veteran soldiers. As for the equipment issue, our special forces company will resolve it ourselves."

  "Cavalry, artillery, signal corps... Hehe, Commissar Zhang, you should know that these things are also very rare in our Red Army's regimental-level units. You only have the establishment of one company, do you need so many technical branches?" Huang Kecheng asked thoughtfully after hearing Zhang Hua's answer.

  "Report to the superior, although our special forces company does not have the conditions to equip these things now. However, I believe that in future battles, as long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to capture these equipment... Please rest assured, superiors." Zhang Hua guaranteed loudly.

  "Good, young man, you have spirit. The request you made has already been agreed to by me. Now let's take a look at our political commissar, Old Li, what do you think?" After hearing Zhang Hua's words, Huang Kecheng slammed his hand on the table in front of him and excitedly said, looking towards Political Commissar Li Tianyou beside him.

  "Comrade Commander, our 4th Division still has a considerable number of artillery and cavalry troops, as well as several communication personnel. However, due to the losses during the Long March, many of their equipment were damaged, leaving these soldiers idle at the division headquarters. Since Captain Zhang wants them, you've agreed, and I agree too." Li Tianyou said with a smile.

  "Alright, Zhang Lianzhang, Xu Guanzhang. The Political Commissar has agreed. Now I order, to draw two artillery personnel, two cavalry personnel, and one communications personnel from the division headquarters. In addition, five more soldiers will be drawn from the division's guard company. A total of ten soldiers will be added to the 10th Regiment's special operations company."

  "Thank you, commanders, thank you all... I guarantee that with the addition of these veteran Red Army soldiers, our special forces unit's combat effectiveness will definitely be taken to a whole new level..." Unexpectedly, the division commander was so generous and actually assigned ten more veterans to him in one go. Zhang Hua was thrilled and responded loudly.

  .....................................

  Before long, Zhang Hua and Xu Bin led the ten new soldiers of the Special Operations Unit with big smiles on their faces, excitedly walking towards the unit's barracks. As they left, the regimental commanders and political commissars who were attending the meeting at the division headquarters also departed one after another. The large conference room was soon left with only two people: Division Commander Huang Kecheng and Political Commissar Li Tianyou.

  "Lao Huang, what are you smiling about? I've noticed that since you saw the commander of the Special Operations Unit, Zhang Hua, your mouth hasn't closed once, and you keep on silly-smiling." Political Commissar Li Tianyou asked curiously, looking at the still smiling Commander-in-Chief Huang Kecheng.

  "Haha! I'm delighted. Unexpectedly, in the Fourth Division, I've discovered another brave general, a truly invaluable one..." Huang Kecheng said with a smile after hearing the political commissar's question.

  "You're referring to Captain Zhang Hua of the Special Operations Unit..." Li Tianyou asked, looking at his superior with a smile all over his face.

  "It's this kid, Old Li. Tell me, what do you think of Zhang Hua..." Seeing the political commissar understand his thoughts, Regimental Commander Huang Kecheng asked with a smile.

  "Zhang Hua, I'm having a hard time figuring him out. Let's just talk about what happened earlier. Normally, when the deputy commander makes requests to the higher-ups, everyone wants troops, weapons, and ammunition... But this kid is an exception. He doesn't want troops, guns, or ammo, he only wants some useless technical personnel. Honestly, I don't get what's on his mind... Old Huang, how do you see him? You seem to appreciate him." Li Tianyou thought for a moment before summarizing.

  "Haha, Old Li! This is where Zhang Hua's cleverness lies. You should know that a special operations company can have nearly 300 men. As for equipment, it's even more impressive, with firepower density far exceeding our ordinary main force battalion. More importantly, the special operations company is also equipped with a mortar, two heavy machine guns. If Zhang Hua has these three types of personnel, then as long as possible, his special operations company can expand at any time. He thinks very far ahead, even more so than many regiment-level cadres under our command. So I say, if used well, this Zhang Hua is definitely a general who cannot be replaced." Division Commander Huang Kecheng explained with a smile, based on today's events.

  "Ah, I get it! He's preparing to build an artillery cavalry unit for his special task force... You've got a good point there, this kid has vision..." Political Commissar Li Tianyou suddenly slapped his own forehead and exclaimed.

  "Right! Let's wait and see, this special task force will surely achieve even greater results..." Huang Kecheng nodded in agreement with the political commissar's words.

  At this time, Zhang Hua was excitedly leading ten new soldiers to their garrison, chatting with the warriors behind him as they walked.

  "Lao Zhang, how do you plan to allocate these ten soldiers..." Looking at the ten robust old Red Army soldiers behind him, Instructor Xu Bin was also excited. He asked, facing the equally thrilled Zhang Hua.

  "Old Xu, it's quite simple. I just roughly understood the situation of the ten soldiers behind us. The five soldiers drawn from the guard company, their marksmanship is top-notch, I plan to send them to our sniper squad. Two artillerymen, assigned to the artillery squad as deputy squad leaders, and the cavalry will form our special operations squadron's cavalry platoon, of course, temporarily without equipment and personnel. As for signalman Fu Chun'ao, I plan to establish our special operations squadron's communications squad. Of course, temporarily still without equipment..." Zhang Hua said with a smile.
