After hanging up the phone, Zeng Wangcai's face was gloomy and he was silent for a long time.
"Captain, what did the headquarters say?" Yu Tie asked with hope and worry, "When will our support arrive? When can we go for revenge?"
"Revenge? Haha..." Zeng Wangcai laughed sarcastically, but he couldn't say the rest of the words.
The order was that Zeng Wangcai's troops should return to their base immediately and not attack.
In addition, the outpost defense was returned to the original troops.
Zeng Wangcai didn't understand. He could understand a little bit that they didn't allow him to attack. To put it nicely, it was to prevent him from being in danger. But he couldn't understand why they immediately allowed him to return to the base.
At this time, the enemy's intentions were unclear. A battle had already taken place in this section, and the original troops had suffered heavy losses and many wounded, and it was obvious that they were no longer able to meet the defense requirements.
It is the duty of our troops to rush to the support of these outposts.
There is no need to explain anything now, just give the order to retreat and that's it.
The most important thing is that Zeng Wangcai really wants to avenge his brothers.
"Captain, what does hehe mean?"
"That's right, Captain, please say something."
"Captain..."
Yutie and the others asked further questions.
"Haha, what I mean is that our superiors ordered us to retreat!" Zeng Wangcai told the truth helplessly.
"What? Retreat?"
"What kind of bullshit order is this?"
"If we retreat now, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving the enemy a chance?"
“I can’t figure it out!”
"Captain, which bastard gave this order? Was it the Operations Department?"
The Iron Triangle was furious and refused to agree, cursing.
It is true that in the military, obeying orders is a duty, but this does not mean that people have no temper.
The Iron Triangle reminded Zeng Wangcai that the order to retreat was not issued by the Operations Department, but by the Logistics Department.
He wondered, in this extraordinary period, should he be included in the combat sequence?
After all, his own team has been tested, but now it is at the mercy of a group of people in charge of logistics.
After thinking about it, Zeng Wangcai picked up the phone again and asked the switchboard to take over the command from the Operations Department.
"Hey, I'm Zeng Wangcai, the company commander of the 1st Company of the Logistics Department of the 155th Regiment. I'm looking for Zhang..." Before he could call out the official title, the voice he had just spoken to came from the other end.
"Zeng Wangcai, what happened to you? Is there anything else?" The deputy director of the Logistics Department in charge of weapons deployment was a little unhappy when he heard Zeng Wangcai's voice. "You need to understand that you are now under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department. Why are you looking for the Operations Department?"
To be honest, Zeng Wangcai did overstep his authority, and he knew it himself.
But he couldn't convince the logistics department, so he had to take a roundabout way to fight for it.
"Minister, I think..." Zeng Wangcai argued calmly, "In the current situation, we should focus on fighting. There are civilians behind our post. If we leave it alone, it will be a big deal if something happens."
He was reminding the other party that several villages in Edwina were behind the sentry post.
"This is not your problem." The other side was still stern and impartial, not giving in at all. "Don't think so. You need to understand your position and your strengths. You should stay at the rear and come back quickly."
Well, I met this kind of person!
Zeng Wangcai shook his head secretly.
He had anticipated whether he would encounter a situation like today, where orders were inconsistent with his own wishes.
Soldiers obey orders without saying anything, but Zeng Wangcai was very resistant at this moment, just like the resistance before he lay down in his previous life.
Lying down was not my intention, I just had no choice.
"Minister, I am a soldier, not a scientist!" Zeng Wangcai tried his best to make his tone sound calm and without any emotional fluctuations. "Ask yourself, if another unit was here, would you give this order again?"
"Do you want to bargain? Zeng Wangcai, don't think that you have the capital just because you can invent something..." Although Zeng Wangcai's tone was calm, the other party seemed to have been touched in a sore spot. He became furious and yelled violently into the microphone.
It can be said that the treatment Zeng Wangcai is receiving now is what he brought upon himself.
There is no doubt that Zeng Wangcai enjoyed some privileges after joining the army.
During his more than a year here, Zeng Wangcai's work has been obvious to all. He has handled the military-civilian relations and public security in the jurisdiction extremely smoothly.
But there is a reason for this. In addition to Zeng Wangcai's own abilities and resources, the special support from the military region is also an important factor.
During this year and more, as long as Zeng Wangcai asked his superiors for something, basically his requests would be met, which made some people very dissatisfied.
The deputy minister that Zeng Wangcai was facing at this time was an important one among them. Generally speaking, this deputy minister was an upright person. He felt that Zeng Wangcai was being taken care of too much, which was unfair to the people in other regions and brought a lot of trouble to his work.
However, there is nothing fair about this kind of thing. Take the people in the old city for example, their treatment is definitely not as good as the people here, not to mention other places. Is this fair?
"I order you to bring your team back immediately. Don't go to the base. Come directly to the logistics department and write a self-criticism." The deputy minister on the other side concluded, "If you dare to disobey orders, you will be punished by military law. You'd better take care of yourself and don't implicate your family..."
After saying that, he hung up the phone!
But Zeng Wangcai was angry. He didn't know why this person added the last sentence.
Is it a threat... or a friendly reminder?
