What is the most important quality of a commander who can stand alone?
Before participating in this exercise, Zhao Weihong probably had many answers.

Composure in the face of danger; wisdom to anticipate the enemy's moves; and an indomitable will to die rather than surrender.
But after witnessing Hu Yiming, Platoon Leader Chen, and others' almost fanatical superstition towards Guan Jiwu, Zhao Weihong already had a single answer to this question in her mind.

That is, to always think about independence and self-reliance, and to take the initiative to try to cope with all challenges and adversities based on existing conditions and one's own abilities!
Simply put, this is a sense of responsibility, a sense of responsibility imbued with rich Chinese cultural symbols!

Mountains crumble when you rely on them, and people leave when you depend on them!

Relying on heaven, earth, or parents is not as good as relying on yourself!
On the ever-changing and crisis-ridden battlefield, this sense of responsibility is put to the extreme!
Perhaps because they had only been in the 149th Division for a short time, they had not yet been deeply "poisoned" by Guan Jiwu.

In Zhao Weihong's view, Platoon Leader Chen has this sense of responsibility, although not many people do.

Especially after acquiring the new communication equipment, Platoon Leader Chen wasn't thinking about how to use it or how to cause any more big trouble!
Instead, they wanted to send the equipment back to Guan Jiwu so that he could find a way to make use of it.

This is the biggest difference between him and Zhao Weihong.

"Old Chen."

"You and I are no longer trainees or platoon leaders."

"But he's the commander of this team of over a hundred people!"

Seeing that Platoon Leader Chen's expression was still full of confusion, Zhao Weihong fought off her sleepiness and decided to help him completely break through this "mystery" that was troubling him, and also the mystery that was troubling the entire 149th Division!

"We destroyed the enemy's artillery positions, wiped out two fuel depots, and played a vital role far exceeding that of units of similar size!"

"We have proven the potential of this team, and we have proven our leadership abilities!"

"Then why can't we maintain this momentum instead of relying on others to solve the problem?"

"But."

"Nothing but!"

Zhao Weihong stared wide-eyed and suddenly raised her voice!

"The camp remains, but the soldiers come and go!"

"No one can stay in the army, or in the 149th Division, forever!"

"That's right! I'm talking about the division commander!"

Do you think the division commander can solve the problems we are facing now?

"But if the division commander leaves the army, who will solve these problems?"

Zhao Weihong's voice woke up many sleeping soldiers, who opened their eyes in confusion and looked in the direction where Zhao Weihong was.

what's going on?
How could these two possibly start arguing?

At this moment, Wang Fei, with great insight, signaled everyone to continue sleeping, while he himself quietly moved aside, leaving Zhao Weihong and Platoon Leader Chen some alone time.

The night was still dark, and the evening breeze in the woods was very comfortable.

But Platoon Leader Chen was covered in sweat, his fists clenched unconsciously, just like the struggle in his heart at that moment.

From the day I arrived at the 149th Division.

What Platoon Leader Chen heard most often was the "myth" of Division Commander Guan Jiwu.

A participant in the Southwest Campaign and a commander who won every battle, he led the 149th Division in more than a dozen combat-level missions. Apart from two people being slightly wounded and one person being seriously wounded, there were no other casualties, and all missions were completed perfectly.

As for the victories achieved in various exercises and competitions, they are countless!
Guan Jiwu is a "god" in the hearts of Platoon Leader Chen and all the soldiers of the 149th Division, a military god who can lead them from one victory to another!

However, the setbacks in the early stages of this exercise, and Zhao Weihong's words of disappointment at his current performance, were revealing to Platoon Leader Chen a fact he had never realized before.

The deity in his mind was not omnipotent.

Even if Guan Jiwu is truly a reincarnation of a military genius, he will still grow old and pass away one day!
Under Zhao Weihong's intense gaze, Platoon Leader Chen's lips suddenly began to tremble violently, and he murmured as if to himself.

"It's us"

"We are the ones who should be solving these problems!"

"Yep!"

"We'll go and solve it!"

Seeing that this makeshift partner had finally figured things out, Zhao Weihong excitedly punched him in the arm!
"This is more like the Chen I know!"

After giving Zhao Weihong a somewhat complicated smile, Platoon Leader Chen looked at the captured radio again.

"Old Zhao, I understand what you mean."

"Then let's leave these radios behind and see if we can find suitable opportunities to strike, and then fucking rip them off a few more times!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weihong nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject and her attitude completely reversed.

"We definitely need to keep them, but we don't need to keep all of these walkie-talkies."

"We can still send a few back."

Platoon Leader Chen: "???"

Ignoring the huge question mark that gradually appeared on Platoon Leader Chen's forehead, Zhao Weihong weighed the unresponsive walkie-talkie in her hand and said in a serious tone.

"Seven walkie-talkies? That's too many. We don't have enough people for that."

“If I get hurt, my family will cause me trouble.”

"In that case, keep the large radios, select five handheld radios in good condition, and find a way to send the rest back."

"By the way, hehe, I'll also do some business with my old division commander."

Upon hearing this, Platoon Leader Chen's doubts deepened, and he couldn't help but ask immediately.

"We don't lack supplies or ammunition right now. If we really run out of options, we can use the captured Type 95 rifles."

"What are you planning to ask the division commander for?"

"Besides, it's just delivering a walkie-talkie. At most, two people will go back. How much stuff can they possibly bring back?"

"If too many people go back, it won't be the enemy."

"thing?"

Before Platoon Leader Chen could finish speaking, Zhao Weihong said in a rather enigmatic tone.

"When did I say I wanted something?"

"I'm going to ask the division commander for it."

"It's human!"

149th Division, Headquarters.

As the most crucial location for the entire division, this place must remain absolutely hidden.

But now, at the crack of dawn, people are constantly coming and going from the tent entrance.

Some of them looked travel-worn and exhausted, as if they had just gone through a fierce battle.

Some people, however, had serious expressions and rushed to the front line without stopping after leaving their tents, as if they were about to complete some arduous mission.

Meanwhile, inside the command post.

Guan Jiwu was leaning back in the cold, hard wooden chair, his eyes slightly closed, his hands hanging down in a somewhat awkward position.

Seeing this, the chief of staff of the 149th Division tiptoed and draped a coat over Guan Jiwu. Just as he was about to tell the others to be quiet and let Guan Jiwu rest, he heard a loud shout coming from outside the tent!

"Commander! Commander!"

Before he could finish speaking, the chief of staff angrily crawled out of the tent and kicked him!
"boom!"

"Are you trying to die? What are you yelling about?"

"It's been two days! The division commander just took a short nap!"

"If you wake him up, you'll see what I do to you!"

Feeling somewhat aggrieved, the division communications soldier, who had been assigned to the front lines, was about to speak when he heard the chief of staff ask him in an annoyed tone.

"What happened? You're as happy as if it's New Year's Day?" Upon hearing this, the communications soldier, who had just been kicked, broke into a wide smile again and asked excitedly!

"Platoon Leader Zhao has sent someone back!"

"Which Platoon Leader Zhao?"

"That's the life of Platoon Leader Zhao from the Second Company!"

Zhao Weihong?
Didn't he die leading the rearguard?
The chief of staff frowned, about to ask what was going on, when he heard a somewhat hoarse voice coming from inside the tent.

"Bring them in!"

Seeing that Guan Jiwu had been woken up, the chief of staff glared fiercely at the communications soldier before turning around and going back into the tent.

Zhao Weihong sent back Li Sanqiang and an old sergeant from the Sixth Company.

Upon seeing the two of them for the first time, Guan Jiwu, sitting on the wooden chair, immediately thought of Zhao Weihong, who had "died" while leading the rearguard.

In a flash, Guan Jiwu had figured out most of the background of Li Sanqiang and his companion, as well as Zhao Weihong's current situation.

The enemy's strange movements and arrangements in the rear positions also have reasonable explanations.

"Is that so? Oh, I see."

I let out a long sigh of relief, somewhat for no apparent reason.

For some reason, after receiving the news that his junior brother had not died in battle, Guan Jiwu felt a strange sense of joy.

After a brief moment of reflection, Guan Jiwu brought his thoughts back to the exercise.

"What are you two carrying?"

Guan Jiwu originally wanted to find out more about their situation behind enemy lines.

But after looking at Li Sanqiang and the other man, Guan Jiwu was immediately drawn to the TBR-002 handheld radios they were carrying!
"Let me see it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Sanqiang instinctively wanted to step forward and hand the radio to Guan Jiwu, but then he remembered Zhao Weihong's instructions and immediately stopped in his tracks, also pulling back the sergeant from the Sixth Company who was also about to step forward.

"Commander, this was originally instructed by the platoon leader to be brought back to you by the two of us."

"But the platoon leader also said that if you want this walkie-talkie, you'll have to bring something in exchange."

To the end.

Even the usually fearless Li Sanqiang showed a cowardly and guilty look, secretly lamenting that he had taken on such a dangerous task!

as predicted!

Before Guan Jiwu could even respond to his words, the chief of staff, who was already angry, glared at him and cursed!

"Did a donkey kick your brains?"

"Who gave you two the guts to bargain with your superiors?"

As he spoke, the chief of staff wanted to step forward and teach these two audacious young men a lesson, but Guan Jiwu stopped him with a look.

In contrast, Guan Jiwu appeared very calm, and didn't even show much surprise.

It was as if no matter how outrageous his junior brother's actions were, they wouldn't cause him even the slightest surprise.

"Tell me."

"What does he want?"

It seems like there's a chance?

Seeing that Guan Jiwu's attitude seemed fairly good, Li Sanqiang immediately mustered his courage and responded as Zhao Weihong had instructed.

"Commander, the platoon leader's exact words were that he wants your armored reconnaissance battalion!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Jiwu, who had been calm and collected, immediately widened his eyes and even picked at his ear!

What the hell?
Did I hear that right?
Then look at the chief of staff, who already had a fiery temper; he was so angry that his nose was practically crooked!
fortunately.

Li Sanqiang realized that his statement could be misunderstood, so he quickly added something.

"Commander, please don't get agitated. The platoon leader didn't mean to take an entire armored reconnaissance battalion."

"Instead, I'll take the people back; the tanks can stay!"

In comparison, Zhao Weihong's request doesn't seem so excessive. At least it's much better than demanding an entire "armored reconnaissance battalion."
But this requirement is still not much better.

The 149th Division is not the 116th Division. The only part of the entire division with any traces of tracks can be found in the armored reconnaissance battalion.

In other words, in the entire 149th Division, only the armored reconnaissance battalion knew how to drive tanks!

So, if Zhao Weihong takes all these people away, who's going to drive the remaining tanks?
Should I just leave it to collect dust?
Yes.

Even though Zhao Weihong had made contributions by using landline telephones in advance, helping the 149th Division to overcome the enemy's electronic jamming methods.

Guan Jiwu frowned again after hearing the request.

"I just don't know what to say!"

"Thinking that you've escaped the enemy's sweep and survived by sheer luck, and that you managed to do a few petty thefts along the way, you think you're the main character in this exercise?"

"He just asked for an entire armored reconnaissance battalion, and he only wants people?"

"What? You want me to find the other side to drive the remaining tanks?"

"Relying on his little bit of cleverness, he doesn't even know the immensity of the world!"

"You two are the same, and so is that kid surnamed Zhao!"

The chief of staff's words were exactly what Guan Jiwu wanted to say.

Although it is unknown how many people Zhao Weihong has under his command, it is likely that there are not many, and they are short of food and clothing, and probably have to count their ammunition one by one.

However, Guan Jiwu could understand Zhao Weihong.

Young people, they all have a lot of drive and want to prove themselves.
"Chief of Staff, you can't wrongly accuse someone!"

"What do you mean by petty theft?"

If Guan Jiwu were talking to the chief of staff about something else, or if he were to give Zhao Weihong a good scolding, Li Sanqiang might not have dared to refute him.

But when it comes to their achievements behind enemy lines, let alone Guan Jiwu and the chief of staff, even if the King of Heaven himself came today, Li Sanqiang would have to have a good talk with him!

"These two radios! We captured them from the enemy!"

"Last night, we just took down two enemy fuel depots. None of the enemies inside escaped, and that's how we captured these walkie-talkies!"

"How did it become a petty theft?"

Upon hearing this, the chief of staff and Guan Jiwu immediately exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with the same shock!

Two refueling stations?

This is a real achievement that can directly affect the offensive intensity of the 116th Division today and even until the end of the exercise!
Neither of them considered whether Li Sanqiang was being stubborn and lying. After all, the details of the battle would be made public at the debriefing meeting after the exercise, so Li Sanqiang had no reason to lie.

The chief of staff realized that he had spoken too harshly, but he was too proud to change his mind.

"Alright! You guys did a little bit of work."

But that's not it either.

"A small achievement?"

Li Sanqiang, panting heavily, rolled up his sleeves and suddenly raised his voice!

"Since you say this is a small achievement, then fine!"

"I'll dare to ask the Chief of Staff today!"

"We wiped out an entire enemy artillery position and destroyed a third of an artillery regiment's worth of various types of artillery, including four of the latest self-propelled rocket launchers!"

"What credit should this be given?"
