Chapter 154: Reactions of All Parties (Requests for Tickets and Subscriptions)
The recruitment of new recruits over there is also nearing completion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Yunfa scared away most of the young people who came to become soldiers and get paid with an almost cruel assessment, but Liu Lang was still slightly surprised by the 386 young people who stayed after lifting an 80-kilogram stone barbell ten times and being able to run 3,000 feet in a quarter of an hour (the Republic of China measurement standard, one foot is now one meter).
It is no wonder that in the full-scale War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression five years later, Sichuan Province dispatched 300,000 troops with the strength of a single province, and the number of strong men was as high as more than 3 million.
Rejecting his parents' proposal to choose twenty more people from the guards to join the army with him, Liu Lang only took away Sanchuan, who had been with him since he was a child.
The reason is very simple, what Liu Lang wants to build is an elite army to protect the family and defend the country, not a Liu family army. Even if one day he Liu Lang is gone, this army can still continue to fight against the Japanese invaders, and they should not be loyal to a certain person, but to this country, the people of this country, this is the military soul that an elite army should have.
Liu Lang, who came through time and space, understands very well that the military soul seems to be very ethereal, but it is real. An army without a military soul will often collapse at the touch of a button, and an army with it, what you see is often a fight to the death.
Wang Mingzhang and his 122nd Division's 3,000 men fought bloody battles in Tengxian County, and no one retreated, Hu Lian and his 11th Division defended the stone plaque, and no one retreated in a full three-hour bayonet hand-to-hand combat, and the Republic just went north to fight with American GIs in the ice and snow, and all the officers and men of the 6th Company of the 117th Regiment of the Ninth Corps, who were only wearing single clothes, were motionless under the low temperature of minus 40 degrees in Changjin Lake in order not to expose the target, and all of them were frozen into ice sculptures, and no one retreated.
If you retreat, you will live, and if you don't retreat, you will die, such a simple choice, but they chose the latter, because of the honor of the soldiers, because of the protection of the soldiers, this is the soul of the army, the soul of the soldiers.
After bidding farewell to his parents, taking the recruits and skilled workers and the Germanic genius doctor who had not yet fully woken up, it took Liu Lang a full week to return to Guangyuan, and it had been half a month since Liu Lang left.
Liu Wenhui was even more decisive than Liu Lang imagined, and on the second day after talking with Liu Lang, he telegraphed the whole province and handed over all rights of Guangyuan from public security to administration to the Independent Regiment of the Second Division of the National Revolutionary Army.
This move not only caused an uproar in Sichuan Province, but also the bald principal who was sitting in Nanjing was also a little taken aback after hearing Liu Wenhui's move.
The Nanjing government has long coveted the country of abundance, but don't look at the eight major warlords in Sichuan Province to fight in the past as if they had a grudge against their father, but if the Nanjing government once it shows its intention to march into Sichuan and completely bring the country of abundance into control, those guys will instantly become entangled together and become brothers in the robe to unite against the central government, although the Sichuan army with hundreds of thousands of troops is poorly equipped, but the natural precipitous and easy to defend geographical environment and huge population base make the Nanjing government like a hunting dog facing a hedgehog, I can only grin my teeth and cry out in vain.
The reason why Liu Lang's independent regiment can enter the northern Sichuan gateway of Sichuan Province is because of the special family background of Liu Lang, the commander of the independent regiment.
However, what made the bald principal feel relieved was that he had stationed an army in Sichuan, which reduced a little embarrassment. Even if it's just a garrison, even if the more than 1,000 people are like a small ant in front of the behemoth of hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops, they can be swallowed up at any time.
But now, Liu Wenhui, one of the biggest warlords in Sichuan, has generously handed over the entire gateway to northern Sichuan to the Independent Regiment, what does he want to do?
No one would think that Liu Lang would change his flag and lead the troops to join the Sichuan army, that would only be self-defeating, not to mention that the Sichuan army could not protect him, even if he could, it is estimated that no one would want to protect him. Some things are destined to be placed below the table, and if they are really put on the table, they will completely tear the skin, which is called politics.
Dirty, ugly, but ever-present.
The bald principal was still scratching his head, but the opposition in Sichuan Province was eliminated by the approval of another bigwig, Liu Xiang.
It is no secret that Liu Lang is Liu Xiangtang's nephew and Liu Wenhui's nephew, since the two bigwigs of the Liu family are recognized, what will the rest of the bigwigs who are far inferior in strength say, anyway, it is not their territory? As long as you don't move the fat in your hot pot, you will naturally toss it as you want. The independent regiment of one or two thousand was not taken seriously by anyone either.
The many thoughts of the bigwigs are not important to Liu Lang, but the enthusiasm of the local snakes in Guangyuan City is rising, if it was mostly flattery before, but now it is almost licking on its knees.
It may be just empty talk to be a civilian official who governs all the affairs of Guangyuan, but Liu Lang, who controls a thousand elite troops, can really control the fate of everyone in Guangyuan after winning this title, including the county magistrate.
Zhan Chengfang, the commander of the city defense garrison, was secretly glad that he had kept an eye on it and did not report the exaggerated idea revealed by Liu Lang to Shangfeng, otherwise, the day Liu Lang returned would be when he left. Liu Lang, who was in charge of Guangyuan, did not say that he would build a fortress, but also build a palace, as long as he had money, no one would make irresponsible remarks, even if it was the central government.
This is the sorrow of the people, but it has created a lot of convenience for Liu Lang.
However, the arrival of this news greatly accelerated the construction of Liu Lang's base, and when Liu Lang returned, with the efforts of tens of thousands of migrant workers, the temporary station of the independent regiment was basically completed in only half a month. Although there is still a considerable distance from the military fortress planned by Liu Lang.
However, the soldiers who had been in the sky for more than ten days finally had spacious and bright barracks.
According to Liu Lang's request, a dormitory could accommodate 12 soldiers from a combat squad, including a sergeant and squad leader. And the use of high and low beds, completely abandoned the previous habitual Chase bunk.
A group of big men crammed into a big bed can certainly increase brotherhood, but the long-lasting smell of stinky feet is also close at hand, almost every recruit's nightmare, and maintaining good personal hygiene is also Liu Lang's most basic requirement for all officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment.
The recruitment of new recruits in the Guangyuan area has also achieved fruitful results, and being able to get fifteen yuan a month can become a huge temptation in the city, let alone in a mountainous area like Guangyuan, after the same rigorous selection, there are still 798 people left.
The Gou family in Tongguan also sent 500 Shaanxi recruits as promised, with a total of nearly 1,700 recruits, so that the high-level leaders of the independent regiment faced happiness and distress.
How can an independent regiment with an establishment of only 1,500 people swallow up so many recruits? Even if the quota of more than 700 disabled veterans is given up.
Liu Lang smiled slightly, what are 1,700 people? The Republic, with only 2 million troops on paper, was able to organize more than 10 million regular troops in a week.
