Chapter 571: Telling the Truth or Telling a Lie
In fact, if you finally talk about eating meat, Liu Lang's independent regiment has almost eaten what a division can eat.
At least that's what the people in the logistics department of the separate 200 brigade think. They bought 70 fat pigs in nearby villages and towns, and killed a total of more than 10,000 catties of meat before they fed these guys.
A group of young men and young men have run hundreds of miles in a few days, if it is said that the boat and car are tired and have a great appetite! It's really not counting, most of the people in the independent regiment are used to walk, and the bicycle is just a little less burdened by changing to ride.
You say, "How well should those four or five thousand people eat?"
That's not all, the stubbornness of the wounded soldiers holding the urns of their comrades made the logistics officers of the 200 Brigade have to kill two more fat pigs.
In front of each urn, the wounded soldiers were placed with their own pork offerings, otherwise, the wounded soldiers would rather offer their share to their comrades who would never be able to come to eat the sacrifices.
They have achieved it when there are difficulties, and now, they will share the blessings.
In fact, when more than 1,400 urns covered with neat white cloth were placed in the middle of the field, and more than 1,000 wounded soldiers who had lost arms, legs, or eyes respectfully placed their sacrifices in front of the brother they were guarding, and they sat aside and ate meat, that kind of scene was extremely shocking.
Whether it was a coffin or a wounded soldier, they used facts to explain the tragedy of the Battle of the Great Wall to everyone.
In the battle with the Japanese invaders, they certainly achieved a shocking record, but 1,400 people were killed, 1,500 became disabled, and they were no longer able to carry guns or even walk. The strength of almost a full regiment is over.
In this case, the independent regiment is commonplace, what is it to eat with more than 1,000 brothers who died in battle? Don't you see that when you sleep, there is a coffin next to the pillow of each wounded soldier.
But this scene really shocked the Jin Suijun who were dining on the other side from top to bottom.
"Company Commander Zhao, isn't your independent regiment composed of about 2,000 people! How? There are so many brothers killed and wounded in the war, and you still have more than 2,000 people? The commander of the artillery battalion of the Jin Sui Army, who came to drink with Zhao Ergou, took the initiative to salute Zhao Ergou with a cup, and then asked very puzzled.
Since Liu Lang has been given the goods, Comrade Lao Li still shows the heroism of the Shanxi people, and each company-level unit of the independent regiment has sent officers of the corresponding level to accompany them, and the soldiers are not allowed to drink, the officers still have some preferential treatment, and a small amount of liquor can still be had.
The one who was sent to accompany Zhao Ergou was the artillery battalion commander of the 200 Brigade, don't look at this higher rank, but he really didn't dare to take it next to Zhao Ergou, who was only a captain. It's really Zhao Ergou, who likes to be scared, so he took out his fourth-class Baoding Medal and rubbed it twice.
The Order of the Fourth Class! That was already the highest rank of the Order of the Treasure Ding that a lieutenant could receive. Although he was a major, the artillery battalion commander didn't know if he had a chance to get a Baoding medal, even if it was a ninth-class?
What's more, with this thing in hand, maybe one day this little captain will jump to a major, lieutenant colonel, or even a colonel. After drinking with Zhao Ergou for a long time, the artillery battalion commander realized that the person in front of him was just a big soldier at this time last year.
In one year, Zhao Ergou changed from a big-headed soldier to a captain and company commander, and the commander of the artillery battalion of Jin Suijun instantly felt that he had been promoted from second lieutenant to major in six years.
Although it is not good to ask people about the establishment of troops, which is a matter of probing into other people's secrets, the commander of the artillery battalion of the Jin Sui Army can't care so much about it under the shock.
In fact, this is not a secret matter, the independent regiment found the 29th Army to supplement 1,300 soldiers with the crazy expansion of the army, and thus took on the fact that more than 1,000 disabled and wounded soldiers of the 29th Army were not a military secret in Beiping.
It's just that almost everyone thinks that Liu Lang has made a loss-making deal, and more than 1,300 veterans of hundreds of battles are precious, but how much does it cost to settle more than 1,000 disabled and wounded soldiers? Even if each person is only given 50 oceans, it will cost nearly 100,000 oceans, and with these 100,000 oceans, what kind of soldiers can't be recruited, and even the recruited recruits can be fully equipped.
Almost the same as the generals of Beiping, the commander of the artillery battalion of the Jin Sui Army stared at the brigade headquarters for a long time, wanting to say that the fat colonel who seemed to be gentle was stupid! But somehow, he admired a little, to be exact, very admired, and even a little admired.
With the placement of more than 1,000 disabled and wounded soldiers in exchange for 1,300 veterans, how to look at this business and lose money, but with such a chief, rest assured.
The artillery battalion commander also understood why this small independent regiment was able to shine in the Battle of the Great Wall. Coupled with the 2,500 strong men, 1,400 people were killed and 500 were seriously wounded, and the casualty rate of up to 75 percent was as high as 75 percent.
"Brother admire, go one." The artillery battalion commander took a sip of wine and gave Zhao Ergou a thumbs up.
In fact, it is not worth the artillery major who has such an idea, and Comrade Li, the most unlucky army elder in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, also looked at Liu Lang like a monster for a long time before finally spit out a few words: "Commander Liu's mind, Li is ashamed to be out of reach." ”
Lao Li said that he was open-minded at this time, but he didn't talk about money, in fact, they didn't lack money, but lacked the courage to take responsibility.
It turned out that although Lao Yan has all kinds of shortcomings, he does have a hand in the economy, Shanxi's geographical location is actually not good, and there are many poor mountains and bad waters, but the Jin merchants are famous merchant groups in modern Chinese history, Shanxi's economy is not only among the best in the country during the Republic of China, but also more than ten years after the founding of the Republic, Shanxi's economy is still in front, and Shanxi's foundation is still good.
It's just that the generals of the Jin Sui Army were also influenced by the Jin merchants in Shanxi, and each family had their own business. Of course, there are pros and cons, that is, too much attention to money, the bald tycoons in the former time and space have allocated millions of dollars to Shanxi every year to build national defense projects since 35 years, but as a result, the fortifications where Comrade Lao Li is stationed are tofu scum projects, and the reasons for this are self-evident.
More money is a good thing, the Jin Sui army can become the only one in the country that can be self-sufficient in weapons, and even in the Battle of Xinkou, it can make up hundreds of cannons and fire at the Japanese artillery, which is inseparable from money. However, when all-out war is coming, money should only be used as a tool to serve the war, not as a forbidden corruption to satisfy greed and selfish desires, otherwise, it will definitely be punished.
In fact, in the past time and space, 300,000 Jin Sui troops paid a huge price for this, and were beaten by a Japanese army of one and a half divisions, not only the bald man was so angry that he dropped the cup, I am afraid that even the Japanese almost thought that they were possessed by Amaterasu.
This can be regarded as a person with a temperament, no wonder he still chose to believe Lao Yan in the time and space when he knew that he could not go to Taiyuan when he was defeated, but he was arrested as soon as he got out of the car, Liu Lang smiled, did not speak, and accompanied Comrade Lao Li to dry the wine in the glass.
"Brother! What do you think of me, the brothers of the 68th Division? "The wine is half-drunk, and Lao Li obviously wants to show off.
It is impossible not to want to show off, and probably any unit that can delegate an artillery battalion to the brigade level will have the capital to show off in China. Although the equipment of the Jin Sui army cannot be compared with the Japanese, it is definitely good in China. Cannons, guns, bullets, grenades and other ordnance can be made by Shanxi itself, which is beyond the reach of any other warlord.
For example, Liu Lang's Sichuan, the Sichuan army went out of Sichuan for millions, in fact, it is good to count only people, not to mention equipment, if you can supply your own ordnance like Shanxi, then the Japanese will have a headache.
Liu Lang thought about it very seriously, and asked very seriously: "Chief Li, tell the truth and tell lies?" ”
"Nature is the truth." Lao Li glared.
"Equipment second-rate, soldier, third-rate." Liu Lang replied honestly.
The people at the table sitting at the headquarters of the 200th Brigade were instantly dumbfounded.
