Chapter 2937
After deploying combat missions, although the battalion commander passionately used military merits and awards to boost morale, Bangui Battalion has been out of battle for a long time, and most officers lack experience and confidence in performing such combat missions, which led to his mobilization. The effect is not particularly ideal.
When setting off from Bangui, many people were optimistic that this trip was mostly just for exercises or to help other main combat troops, but the direction of things was obviously beyond their expectations.
The Bangui Battalion will not only go to the battlefield, but also serve as the main combat force on some battlefields.Many officers, including Zheng Agui, are worried that with the current level of preparations for the Bangui Battalion, can they really carry out such combat missions independently?
But with the military order like a mountain, it is impossible for the Bangui Battalion to back down at this juncture. Even if they know that this mission will have certain risks, they can only bite the bullet.
Due to the embarrassment of the running training the day before yesterday, the rest time of the last two days of the Bangui camp was not used for vacation, but was required to be used for preparations.Each company, platoon, and squad must study the combat plan and make more detailed deployments.All soldiers must understand the mission arrangement this time, and make full preparations before the battle as much as possible.
On the third day of the rest period, the quartermaster at the Cavite base sent a large amount of ammunition, medical supplies, and emergency food during the war to Camp Bangui.Part of it will be sent directly to the pier for loading in advance after being signed by the Bangui Camp, and the other part will be distributed to each soldier for them to carry as personal supplies.
"After we arrive at the destination and land, these emergency foods will only be used if the logistics cannot provide food guarantee, so you guys... especially you, Qiu Yong, don't finish the distribution on the way!"
After distributing supplies to his subordinates, Zheng Agui did not forget to give a few more instructions.Although these emergency foods are nothing more than fried noodles, compressed biscuits and other storable foods that have nothing to do with deliciousness, but a starving ghost like Qiu Yong who eats whatever he sees, if he does not call in advance, he will really eat snacks Eliminate these materials.
Qiu Yong scratched his head embarrassingly and asked: "Squad leader, you mean you can eat after this battle is over?"
Zheng Agui was so angry and funny, he didn't bother to explain any more, and kicked Qiu Yong's ass: "Get lost, hurry up and pack your things!"
The last dinner before departure was more sumptuous than the previous two days. Not only was there plenty of fish and meat to fill the stomach, but there was even a limited supply of drinks per person.Although everyone has never been on the battlefield, but looking at this posture, they also know that this is equivalent to a practice feast, and naturally they want to get their fill.When I board the ship and go to sea tomorrow, I won't have the chance to eat such a good meal again for a few days.
After dinner, the base quartermaster came again.But this time it was not ordinary combat supplies, but pens and paper.According to the unwritten regulations of the Haihan Army, before departure, they will arrange time to write letters home to the soldiers. Of course, it can also be understood as a will to explain their future affairs before the war.If they really die in battle, then this letter will be sent to the person they designated.
Zheng Agui thought for a long time before starting to write. In fact, he didn't have much to explain to his family, and his education level was limited, so it was a bit laborious to choose words and sentences.
There are three brothers in his family. He and the eldest are both in the army, and the third is still studying at a young age. His parents are still old enough to do farm work, so the family doesn't have too many burdens.Zheng Agui was originally a cheerful person, but it was a bit strange to explain the funeral to his family through letters.
Zheng Agui held back for a long time before he finally wrote half a page. He consciously said everything he needed to say, and then he signed his name with satisfaction.
Turning around and seeing Qiu Yong, this guy was cleaning the rifle on his own, with a blank piece of paper in front of him, and it seemed that he had no intention of writing at all.
Zheng Agui said: "Qiu Yong, don't you write something to your family?"
Qiu Yong stopped and replied, "I can't write, and my family can't read either."
Although many naturalized aboriginals like Qiu Yong can speak Chinese, it is very difficult to read and write Chinese characters because they have not received formal cultural education.With Qiu Yong's educational level, he can basically only recognize the face value of Haihan banknotes. It is indeed a bit unrealistic for him to write letters by himself.
Zheng Agui was silent for a moment, but continued: "There is going to be a war soon, after all, I still have to leave a few words for my family. If you have anything to say, I will write it down for you."
Qiu Yong thought for a while and said: "If I die in battle, let my family use the pension to buy a good field in Manila, so that I won't have to suffer in the mountains anymore."
Zheng Agui waited for a long time but there was nothing to say, he stared at Qiu Yong and asked, "That's it?"
Qiu Yong nodded and said, "That's it, what else can I do? Ah! By the way, the materials I received just now can be given to my family when the time comes? The squad leader will help me write it down."
Zheng Agui sighed, but still wrote it for him.
Indigenous people like Qiu Yong joined the army for the purpose of obtaining naturalization. After leaving the army, they could buy a piece of land near Manila and become a small farmer, thus getting rid of the primitive and backward tribal life.
The knowledge of his birth limits his desires and at the same time makes him fearless.
In stark contrast to this was Qin Bo. This guy had written three full pages. After everyone had finished writing, he was still writing hard.
"Qin Bo, where do you have so many things to write?" After finally waiting for Qin Bo to stop writing, Zheng Agui asked him curiously.
Qin Bo carefully folded the letter papers and put them in the envelope, and replied: "Squad leader, you don't understand, I have a lot of property under my name, of course I have to write down how to distribute it clearly. There is also a marriage that my family has prepared for me. It has to be handled properly.”
"The cowhide blows so well, are you really the young master of a rich family?" Zheng Agui just smiled when he heard this, and didn't believe Qin Bo's words.
Qin Bo said sternly: "I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but tomorrow I will go to the battlefield, so I will not pretend, I will show my cards. Qin Huaming, who is in charge of civil affairs in the Luzon Region, is my father. .”
Zheng Agui's smile froze on his face: "You mean that Mr. Qin who signed and stamped on the immigration household registration is your father?"
"That's right, that's right." The smile shifted to Qin Bo's face: "How about it, squad leader, I can barely qualify as a young master, right?"
The Qin family settled in Luzon even before the Spaniards came, and they were an influential Han family in Luzon.When Haihan attacked Manila, patriarch Qin Shengyao wisely chose to join Haihan.And Haihan also needs local snakes like the Qin family to strengthen their control over the local area. After the war, almost all the children of the Qin family got various positions in the government.
And Qin Huaming, as the eldest son of Qin Shengyao, was absorbed into the Civil Affairs Department as the Director of the Immigration Department, specializing in immigration affairs.Although he has already been promoted to the Luzon Regional Management Committee, all the household registrations obtained by the naturalized people over the years still bear his seal.
Therefore, the naturalized people in the Luzon region may not know the names of the adults in the Haihan Executive Committee, but they have definitely heard of this Lord Qin Huaming.Zheng Agui never imagined that his subordinates would actually have something to do with this great man.
