"Our special brigade does not belong to the attacking force, and the selected personnel have not yet done their full work and cannot participate in the war." Yu Xiancheng shook his head and said.

"I have a battalion of infantry, and I will not shoot at my compatriots." Chi Dakui said it straight.

"Report to the sir, neither will my second infantry battalion." Zhou Shiyu also made a strong statement.

"Report to the sir, my third infantry battalion won't." Cheng Yuanshan Mu Ne's face did not show any expression at all.

The first five speakers were almost all the strongest combat strength of the independent regiment. Of course, the most unified logo on their bodies is that they all belong to the original 17th Route Army, and the original 17th Route Army swore not to fight with the red troops before the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, otherwise they would not have been suppressed by the bald bosses to the point that they would not even be paid military salaries when they fought with the Japanese invaders.

It was no surprise to everyone when they said this.

However, Liu Lang, the commander of the regiment, is also from the 17th Route Army, but he still has to hold this military meeting, so the meaning is a little intriguing. Chi Dakui and Zhao Ergou are the descendants of his lineage, do they mean what they mean?

If that's it, it's a big deal, it's a big deal to climb along the pole, and there will be nothing wrong with conforming to the herd. However, where is the new regimental deputy of the Ministry of Military Affairs at this time? The government has never been merciful to those people!

Moreover, the most important thing is that if you rashly express your stance and force the regiment deputy into a corner, and finally set the independent regiment and the government against each other, the future of the independent regiment is worrying! This is what the group of people who have just found their place in the independent regiment value the most.

The rest of the people began to weigh in their minds how to phrase their words so that neither side would go wrong. It is not a question of faithfulness or disloyalty, but a measure between prospect and allegiance, and so is human nature.

After the five of them finished speaking one after another, there was a brief silence in the conference room.

"Tuanzuo, I think that, whether this battle is fought or not is actually not up to us, but on Commander-in-Chief Liu's side, if you want to fight, you can, the battle of our independent regiment was very badly wounded, and countless ordnance was destroyed, please Commander-in-Chief Liu allocate enough ordnance and military expenses, otherwise it will 。。。。。" Unexpectedly, before the battalion-level commanders finished speaking, Tang Yongming said first.

"The Chief of Staff is right! Our independent regiment is now short of not only weapons but also manpower, and needs assistance from above. ”

"That's right, just had a big battle with the Japanese invaders, and my independent regiment is no longer able to fight."

Hearing the third big guy say this, the atmosphere is finally a lot more relaxed than just now, and the big guys are standing in line, so what else is there to say? Following his words, everyone has basically expressed their meaning, that is, follow the group. Even Liu Tuanzuo didn't say a word "no".

"What about the opinion of the regimental deputy?" Liu Lang smiled and glanced at Tang Yongming, and set his eyes on Zhang Ruhao, who had not spoken.

"No, we still have to fight, if we don't fight, I'm afraid not only Commander Liu won't be able to make a difference to the top, but I'm afraid I'll have to meet them in the future." Zhang Ruhao shook his head and said.

The audience was quiet, this is what the two of them want to tear apart?

"Haha" Liu Lang suddenly laughed.

A few thoughtful officers couldn't help but sweat slightly on their foreheads, tearing their faces like this would not be beneficial to the independent regiment! If a military order is issued to transfer the regiment to leave, will the independent regiment be ordered or not? You must know that just violating the military order of the upper peak, the reason is enough.

"What Chief of Staff Tang just said is not wrong at all, whether this battle is fought or not depends entirely on the determination of Commander-in-Chief Liu, Lieutenant Colonel Ji, immediately prepare a telegram to report to the military department, saying that the ordnance of our independent regiment has been damaged countless times, please supply it to the military department, the military budget gap is not calculated, as for the number, you can make up as much as you can, anyway, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!" Liu Lang said that Zhao Ergou blushed a little, especially saying that I am the thickest in the independent regiment every day, look at what you said, what do you mean by making it bigger!

Do you believe it or not, if your cousin is here, you can be to death?

Unexpectedly, after saying to Ji Yanxue, Liu Lang looked at Zhang Ruhao, whose face remained unchanged, with a smile on his face, and said: "But what the regiment deputy said is right, this battle, Lao Tzu must fight, and it must be a big fight, if you don't fight, it will not work." ”

The officers were confused.

What does it mean?

Soon, the officers knew that Liu Lang was really not talking about it, and before the telegram from his boss Liu Xiang came, he ordered the whole army to assemble in full armor.

Although Zhao Ergou's artillery battalion does not have too many guns now, the only two Bofors mountain guns have also been pulled out, a total of eight twin anti-aircraft guns, except for the two guards at the base, the remaining six have also been pulled out, and at least half of the mortars have been sent out, but there are still eight 82 caliber mortars have also been incorporated into the artillery battalion, although there is no such power as before the independent regiment went to the Great Wall, but these guns are enough to be proud of the entire Sichuan.

One division or even one corps of the rest of the Sichuan Army, perhaps, did not have so many artillery.

As for the other units of the Independent Regiment, except for the bayonet battalion of Cheng Yuanshan led by Zhang Ruhao, the deputy commander of the regiment, to stay at the base, the remaining three infantry battalions, including the recruit battalion, were ordered to bring a base number of ammunition to all the battles, and the quartermaster department even prepared more than 200 carts, half of which were supplies, and the other half were full of ammunition.

Except for the newly established special brigade that did not set off with the team, the independent regiment definitely fought with all its might and did not spare any hands.

The whole army stood in line at the training ground, waiting for the arrival of the regimental seat to announce the military order to go out, although except for the battalion-level commander-in-chief who knew some clues, the other officers and men were confused and did not know where to go, but this did not hinder the excitement of the upcoming expedition.

Especially the veterans who had just experienced the Great Wall battle a few months ago, they had not heard the rumbling sound of artillery and the smell of gunpowder smoke for a long time, and they still missed it a little.

Of course, the most important thing is that after all kinds of allowances and bonuses issued by the Independent Regiment a month ago, all the officers and soldiers know that in addition to killing the enemy and sacrificing the enemy, they can also give their families a better life, and each person has taken more than 100 oceans on average, which is nearly a year's military salary! In the countryside, it is enough for the family to eat meat several times a month, without having to wait until the Chinese New Year to get a little meaty.

The military of this era is simple and simple.

And what about Liu Tuanzuo! At this time, he was still receiving the scolding of his boss Liu Xiang at the regiment headquarters.

"You melon baby is getting bolder! Blackmailed Lao Tzu, said that you suffered heavy casualties, Lao Tzu letter, said that you have no money, do you think Lao Tzu's skull has been smashed by your doll? Liu Xiang's roar on the phone made Sanchuan'er, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but hide to the side.

That uncle of the Liu family is the biggest guy in Sichuan now, and the young master is miserable this time! Sanchuan'er was worried about his young master.

"That's it, that's it." Liu Lang took the phone and nodded repeatedly.

"You 。。。。。"

"Oh no, sir, don't get me wrong, I mean that the brothers have suffered too many casualties and need to rest and recuperate, and they are not fit to fight again."

"Don't talk to Lao Tzu about these useless people, you can fight, you have to fight if you can't, you have to fight if you can't, you can figure out your own way with the ordnance, and the military salary will allocate you for another two months."

"Okay." Liu Lang smiled happily, and before Liu Xiang finished speaking, he agreed.

Finally, the funds for dispatching more than 2,000 people this time have been settled, how can Liu Lang not continue first? What if Liu Xiang regrets it the next moment?

"How do you feel that Lao Tzu has been deceived by your doll again?" Liu Xiang was slightly embarrassed on the phone, he didn't seem to have said anything about the subsidies for the officers of the independent regiment, company, battalion, and regimental levels!

The emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, this is something that everyone knows.

"No, what can I do! As a native of Sichuan, I will definitely make my own efforts and contributions to the peace of Sichuan. Liu Lang patted his chest and confessed.

"Okay, as the commander-in-chief of the "suppression of bandits" in northern Sichuan, you decide for yourself how to fight them, but let me remind you that the "red bandits" are not Japanese, although they have simple weapons, they have a strong will to fight and are good at demagoguery, you don't carelessly lose Jingzhou. Also, there's a battle report waiting for you over there! After two sentences, Liu Xiang hung up the phone without waiting for Liu Lang to answer.

A smile appeared on Liu Lang's face.

Sure enough, as he guessed, this battle was not what Liu Xiang wanted to fight.
