Chapter 487: Peasant Army
PS: For four days in a row, Fengyue exploded in 28 chapters, is the big guy happy, so let Fengyue rest for a few days? Continue to guarantee the second watch every day and strive for the third watch.
Recommend my friend Shepherd's new urban book "Urban Crime Dream", which is biased towards realism, old Baiwen, and interested book friends can enter the pit.

The night was getting deeper.
The peace in the valley was broken.
Groups of soldiers, dressed in ordinary people's clothes but carrying Japanese-style 38 rifles, nay, more precisely, five days ago, most of them were only farmers, and their accurate name should be peasant army, led by their respective commanders, rushed out of the valley, lit torches, and set out twenty miles away.
But there was no fear on the faces of the vast majority of people, even if they already knew that they were going north to fight the Japanese this time.
On the contrary, most of the people were excited, and the chaotic conversation was a little harsh in the originally silent valley, which made Sun Yongqin couldn't help but blush a little.
But Liu Dazhu didn't reprimand him too much, after all, these people have only been picking up guns for less than a week!
With a wave of his hand, 170 people from the third battalion and a company of the original Great Wall Regiment quietly and silently passed through the side of the Rehe Anti-Japanese Salvation Army with a little excitement.
The peasant army, which was still a little messy, may have the power of example, and gradually quieted down and began to hurry, and Sun Yongqin's ugly face looked much better.
Standing on the side of the road and watching the group of soldiers walk away, he led the guards around him to follow the last company in the line.
"Lee stammered, how's it going? To fight the Japanese, what was the mood of the brothers? Are you afraid? As he walked, Sun Yongqin asked the commander of the Xinke Infantry Company who was a little cautious beside him.
"Divisionγγγγγγ Commander, when I heard that I was fighting with the Japanese, the brothers were not afraid, but they γγγγγγ The company commander, dressed in a Japanese-style yellow military padded jacket, replied with his tongue grinning.
This style of speaking, if Li Shoushan, who has been used as a roadbed cushion in the roadbed, hears it, he must be very familiar with it. Except for his stammering brother-in-law, there will be no one else.
That's right, this company commander who served in Sun Yongqin's Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was the cavalry platoon commander who was captured by Liu Lang after he destroyed the Fengtian Independent Brigade in the first battle of Lutonggou. More than two dozen cavalrymen who fought in the front station escaped the shock wave at the time of the explosion, and were taken prisoner without firing a single shot.
Moreover, without hesitation, almost without waiting for Sun Yongqin to speak, he chose to surrender under the leadership of this very discerning stammering platoon leader. Even the ten people who were lucky enough not to die in the explosion also chose to surrender.
Sun Yongqin was also very bold, after two days of observation, he promoted the small platoon commander with vision to a company commander, and asked him to bring 160 recruits, and the rest of the more than 30 puppet soldiers who surrendered to Cheng and the nine puppet soldiers from Chengde City were also appointed by Sun Yongqin, and the youngest also became a squad leader, and generally became a platoon leader.
Speaking of Sun Yongqin, there is no way, in just a few days, a team of more than 3,000 people has been raised, and everyone has also been shot, but there are really few who understand military affairs, and these more than 40 puppet troops who are still good at military have become the backbone of the military force in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
You must know that the puppet army at this time was not the North China puppet army that people had in their impression that after a few years of wearing loose clothes and only bullying the common people and wanting to kneel when they met the guerrillas, they wanted to mix in the military camp of puppet Manchuria, and they received the most rigorous training of the Kwantung Army. They are still very combative, and their individual strength is not worse than that of the Central Army.
The only thing they are bad about may be the will to fight. Of course, this is also the most important thing in an army, so when it comes to the puppet army, the first thought that comes to everyone's mind is that they are just a dish.
An army without faith and perseverance can never be called a strong army.
Of course, Sun Yongqin had enough confidence to be afraid that these 40 puppet soldiers who had surrendered to the army would turn against him, and the recruits they brought under them were all peasants near Huangjiagang, and almost every household had been plundered by the Japanese troops passing by.
"Just what? Is it that you kid is cowardly? Sun Yongqin frowned.
"Teacher, since I chose to do it with you, I don't stammer, I'm a little afraid. Besides, if you shouldn't say something, the brothers have only been shooting for a few days? Just pull it up and the Japanese, isn't this a bit too child's play? Li stammered and didn't know if it was because he was promoted, and his speech became much smoother, he looked around and cautiously suggested.
Sun Yongqin glanced at Li stammering, but he didn't scold as Li stammered as he imagined.
The meaning of Li stammering is very clear, he is indeed a little cowardly, dragging these thousands of peasants who have just learned to shoot to fight with thousands of Japanese, as long as they know a little bit of military knowledge, I am afraid they will be a little cowardly.
Perhaps, only the ignorant would be fearless, at least few of the peasant army were afraid, on the contrary, they were all excited.
After pondering for a while, Sun Yongqin's face became serious, and he said: "Li stammered, what you said is actually very right, if it is more than 3,000 of us who go to fight the Japanese, I am afraid that it will not take a few photos to be swallowed by the Japanese." However, do you know why I just listened to Regiment Commander Liu and took all my brothers to the north hundreds of miles to fight the Japanese? β
Li stammered and shook his head, with his thinking, it was a very stupid act to send him to death if he couldn't win.
"Because Commander Liu has a very right saying, if you want to start a war with the Japanese, there is no immortal, if you are afraid of death, you should be the obedient people of the Japanese, and be wantonly oppressed by the Japanese, steal our food and insult our sisters, you say, do you choose to fight with them, or do you choose to continue to be a turtle with a shrunken head?" Sun Yongqin said.
Lee's face was flushed, because he had chosen the latter before.
"Don't blush, choosing the wrong one time doesn't mean anything, what I'm afraid of is being wrong all the time. My grandson doesn't really have any big truths, but I understand that only by working with the Japanese can I protect my parents, sisters and hometown fathers. So Commander Liu has an order, I will come, even if we are 3,000 people, I will let the Japanese understand that if they want to bully us, they must first pass the hurdle of our Chinese men. Sun Yongqin waved his fist vigorously.
Li stammered and looked at the tall man, a little not very understanding, but as if he understood something.
Although the peasant army is very vegetable, they also have their own things to protect, and sooner or later they will also become a strong army.
It was a peaceful walk along the way.
The 8th Division did not place sentries too far away from the periphery of the position, perhaps because they did not find it necessary, or perhaps they were too hungry to run so far.
Anyway, it wasn't until the second company of Liu Dazhu, who was in the lead, had already touched a position one thousand meters away from the main position of the Japanese army that it encountered the Japanese sentry.
Of course, in this direction, the four open and secret sentinels of the Japanese army have become corpses in one place.
The combination of Shi Datou and Niu Er had been in ambush outside the Japanese position for two days, firstly to monitor the movements of the Eighth Division, and secondly, to clear the way for Liu Dazhu and Sun Yongqin's infantry.
Stopping 1,000 meters outside the main Japanese position, Liu Dazhu ordered his soldiers to lay down their weapons, the fire support platoon dispersed 200 meters away to take charge of the guard, and the others untied their individual sapper shovels and quickly excavated temporary positions.
After Sun Yongqin's more than 3,000 men arrived one after another, the temporary field positions completely entered a period of construction in full swing, and the peasant army, which had already been ordered to carry hoes and shovels, may not be very good at fighting, but digging pits and ditches in the ground is an old business.
After the trench that was half a meter deep and two meters wide enough to hide the body of an adult had been dug out, the sleeping Japanese troops on the opposite side finally noticed that something was wrong, and fired a flare to this side, although the flares from the grenadiers could not hit a thousand meters, but in the bright light of the flares, the shadowy figures of the Chinese and the sound of clanging digging could no longer be hidden.
Liu Dazhu simply stopped concealing his whereabouts, ordered torches, sent everyone in the company under his command out, and instructed the 3,000 peasant army to continue to dig trenches frantically.
He had to dig a complete field trench in an hour, because the Japanese would not be fooled for long, and soon they would know that they were not facing an army, but a rabble.
Without trenches, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to stop the Japanese attack.
"Nani? The army of the Chinese? "Tanibe Terubei, who was still asleep, was woken up by the staff officer, and after hearing the news that a Chinese army was gathering outside the position, he jumped up directly from the marching bed, and rushed out of the tent in white socks without even wearing shoes.
There were thousands of people digging in the trenches in the telescope, and they almost didn't scare one of Tanibe's hearts into the **.
Where did this Chinese army pop up? Terube Tanibe is really puzzled.
