Chapter 316 Night Talk
"Niu Dali, stay here for a moment."
After the meeting, as everyone was about to leave, Tang Weiguo called Niu Dali back.
"Yes." Niu Dali stopped and walked towards Tang Weiguo.
Seeing Niu Dali approaching, Tang Weiguo turned and walked towards the office, while Niu Dali cautiously followed behind him.
After Tang Weiguo left, Tang Xiaohu and the others gathered together and started chatting.
"Xiao Hu, will Niu Dali be punished this time?" Tang Dazhuang asked with some concern.
"Probably not. If he really made a mistake, it wouldn't be handled so simply. He would definitely make Niu Dali write a self-criticism of at least 5000 words," Tang Xiaohu said without any worry.
"5000 words." Tang Dazhuang trembled when he heard Tang Xiaohu say that.
Tang Dazhuang couldn't help but recall his experience of writing a self-criticism of more than 1000 words last time. Thinking back on it now, he still felt a little scared. Writing a self-criticism was simply too terrifying.
Not only do I have to write it, but I also have to read it aloud in front of everyone. It's so damn embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Tang Dazhuang quickly shook his head, hoping that such a thing would never happen to him.
"I reckon the division commander gave Niu Dali special training this time. I didn't see him assigning him a combat mission separately," Zhang Haoshan added from behind.
Then we can rest assured. After saying that, the group left.
As Tang Xiaohu was leaving, he saw Long Wenying standing outside the door. Long Wenying looked worried and kept glancing inside. So he walked over and said softly.
"Principal Long, don't worry, Niu Dali won't be punished."
"No, no way," Long Wenying said, blushing as she heard Tang Xiaohu say that.
"Haha, I never expected Principal Long to be so shy," Tang Xiaohu couldn't help but tease.
"Don't worry, Niu Dali is fine. In fact, this is a good thing for him, as he gets individual guidance from his superior," Tang Xiaohu continued.
"Really?" Long Wenying said in surprise.
"Really, I've never lied. It's getting late, you should go back and rest." After saying that, Tang Xiaohu said goodbye to Long Wenying.
Long Wenying didn't move and remained waiting at the door.
On the other side, Niu Dali followed Tang Weiguo to his office.
"Sit down," Tang Weiguo said politely. Then he went to the table, poured two glasses of water, one for himself and the other for Dali.
Do you know why I left you alone?
"Commander, I failed to command the troops well and let you down." Niu Dali spoke with his head down, looking as sad as a child.
"Haha, congratulations on guessing wrong," Tang Weiguo said with a slightly teasing tone.
"Why is the division commander doing this?" Niu Dali asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I mainly want to discuss with you the development of the next reconnaissance regiment," Tang Weiguo said earnestly.
"Dali, as the commander of the reconnaissance regiment, what do you think are the strengths of the reconnaissance regiment?"
Niu Dali thought for a moment, then spoke.
"Commander, the reconnaissance regiment has strong individual combat capabilities, good weaponry and equipment, and is skilled in battlefield reconnaissance, infiltration operations, and behind enemy lines."
"Very good, that's a very good summary, and that's what makes you different from other combat units."
"What do you think were the mistakes in the troop deployment for this operation?" Tang Weiguo continued to ask, his eyes fixed on Niu Dali, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Commander, in this operation, the reconnaissance regiment only played its role in intelligence gathering; its infiltration and lurking behind enemy lines were not utilized."
"Yes, you hit the nail on the head." Tang Weiguo patted Niu Dali on the shoulder affirmatively.
"That's where the problem lies. In the subsequent operational deployment during the Battle of Fenxian, your reconnaissance regiment was used as a front-line combat unit, and your full potential was not realized."
"The reason for this was a mistake by our division headquarters, and also my mistake," Tang Weiguo admitted his error.
"Master."
"Let me continue." Tang Weiguo knew what Niu Dali wanted to say and decisively interrupted him.
"If we had ordered you to send troops to infiltrate Fen County in advance, the outcome of this operation would have been even more perfect, even though the intelligence action group was separated from your reconnaissance regiment."
"But our practical experience is still not as rich as yours."
"Through this battle, I discovered that in large-scale operations, even if your reconnaissance regiment is very strong, it cannot stop the endless stream of enemies."
"However, if I treat you as a dagger hidden in the shadows, the outcome will be very different."
"You've heard the story of Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin, haven't you?"
"I've heard of it; the storyteller in the village often mentions it."
"From then on, your reconnaissance regiment became the assassins of our division, assassinating enemy leaders amidst thousands of troops."
"Disrupting the Japanese command system will have a huge impact on the entire war situation."
"Commander, besides disrupting the Japanese command system, I think we can also disrupt their logistics and transportation," Niu Dali added.
"Very good, you can apply what you've learned to other situations."
"Yes, you should not clash with the main force of the Japanese army. The key is to strike at their weak points, where they will feel the pain."
"Commander, I understand."
"Do you know why I had your reconnaissance unit protect the conscription team this time?" Tang Weiguo continued to ask.
"Commander, it's to help the reconnaissance regiment with their training."
"That's right, it seems you haven't neglected your combat training lately." Tang Weiguo smiled with some satisfaction.
"Thanks to Principal Long," Niu Dali said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
“Principal Long is a good girl, you mustn’t let her down. If you make her suffer, I’ll skin you alive.”
"Commander, no, I value her more than my own life, and I will not let her suffer any injustice."
"Hmm." Tang Weiguo nodded in satisfaction, seeing Niu Dali's resolute expression.
"When you get back this time, your reconnaissance unit should prepare well for me and work towards the goal I just mentioned."
"Yes, sir. I guarantee I will complete the mission. If I fail, you may dismiss me."
"Alright, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
"Yes, sir." Niu Dali gave Tang Weiguo a deep military salute.
"Go back, it's getting late. Get some rest and cooperate with Zhao Zhu to carry out the operation as soon as possible."
"Yes."
After saying goodbye to Tang Weiguo, Niu Dali left the house and walked outside.
As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Long Wenying standing there. Their eyes met, and it seemed as if the whole world had become quiet, with only the sound of their breathing remaining.
Long Wenying ran over, grasped Niu Dali's hand, and asked with concern.
"Is Dali alright? Did the division commander criticize you?"
Although it wasn't the first time Niu Dali had held Long Wenying's hand, he blushed as he felt the warmth of her small hand.
Wenying, I'm fine now. The commander didn't criticize me; he just assigned me a new task.
"You scared me to death," Long Wenying said, sticking out her tongue with an adorable expression.
Seeing Long Wenying's appearance, Niu Dali was stunned.
"Idiot, what are you looking at? Get out of here!"
Looking at Niu Dali's appearance, Long Wenying said shyly.
Awooooo.
Afterwards, Niu Dali escorted Long Wenying back to her dormitory and then reluctantly returned to his own room.
