Chapter 243: It's Han Bao who doesn't open his mouth widely

Liu Lang didn't wait too long before he received a telegram from the division headquarters that the whole regiment was heading north that day.

Because the entire Second Division, except for the first brigade led by Bai Tianmin, who had arrived in Jiangxi to participate in the bald principal's "suppression of bandits" plan, the rest of the divisions were not prepared, and the second division of the National Revolutionary Army in history also took a whole month to arrive at the Gubeikou of the Great Wall defense line, and there was not much time to dig fortifications for them in a hurry, and the consequences were naturally heavy casualties, even if they were already considered the more elite troops in the national army.

Liu Lang had already calculated that as long as he left Sichuan and arrived in Shaanxi, the first unit of the entire Second Division would inevitably be an independent regiment. Moreover, Liu Lang is confident that he will be able to reach Pingjin, 3,000 miles away, in half a month, because the commander of the Second Division is Huang Jie, the general who had a mixed reputation in the Anti-Japanese War.

As a general born in the first phase of Huangpu, Huang Jie's evaluation of the military history of the Republic is not low, and the battle against Japan is also considered brave, the Battle of the Great Wall and the future Battle of Western Yunnan and Northern Burma have shown extremely strong command ability, but this person also has a big shortcoming, that is, he cherishes feathers too much, and he retreated in violation of the order in the Battle of Lanfeng in order to preserve his strength, resulting in the escape of 20,000 people in the second department of Tufei Yuanxian, who was already in a catastrophe.

But Huang Jie has a good connection, and he made such a heinous mistake that he came back a few years later, participated in the counteroffensive campaign in western Yunnan as the commander of the First Army, and finally became the Minister of Defense of the Nationalist Government.

In fact, for a general, it is not an advantage to cherish feathers too much, and it is a sign of narrow-mindedness to like to preserve one's strength, and no one in the Great Patriotic War cannot be sacrificed, as long as the enemy can be eliminated. That's what the Soviets did, so it took them less than four years to wipe out the invading 5.5 million German troops, even at a greater cost.

According to the views of later generations of military strategists, even if China was weak at that time, if it was of one mind from top to bottom, China might not have to wait as long as eight years. To be honest, if it weren't for the American cowboy who dropped two atomic bombs and completely scared the Japanese, China might have to wait longer.

But for Liu Lang now, General Huang's trait of cherishing feathers is a good thing. Although the independent regiment is very independent, it is after all the troops of the 2nd National Division, as long as they can reach the northern front in a short time, it means that the 2nd Division has arrived.

In order to show its face in front of the high-ranking officials of the Northern Branch of the Military Council, the Independent Regiment had to arrive in Beiping as quickly as possible. The shorter the time between receiving the military order and arriving at the combat position, the more it shows General Huang's determination to serve the country after learning of the Japanese invasion.

Therefore, after receiving the order for the whole army to go north on the same day, Liu Lang was not in a hurry to leave, but just asked everyone in the unit who was repairing to pack up their equipment and wait for the next military order.

Xi'an to Beiping is separated by 1,500 kilometers, and it will cross Shanxi, Hebei and other provinces in the middle, if there is a highway in later generations, Liu Lang and the whole group of 2,000 people and equipment only need 24 hours to reach the destination. But now there are only simple roads and railways, and if you want to go from the railway, you have to go to Tongguan first, then from Tongguan to Kaifeng, and then from Kaifeng to Jinan, and run around half of China to reach the Pingjin area.

In the past time and space, nearly 10,000 people of the Second National Division tossed for a month to arrive at the battlefield, Liu Lang must no longer be that fool, the northern land was frozen by the cold and sturdy, and in less than half a month, he could not complete the fortifications he needed.

The railway was not completed, Liu Lang naturally got the idea of the highway, and the baggage battalion directly under the division headquarters with 60 large trucks was the goal of Liu Lang's tireless effort to go around a large circle from Gansu to Xi'an.

Sure enough, only half an hour later, Huang Jie's second military order was issued, the divisional baggage battalion would arrive in an hour, and all the personnel and baggage of the independent regiment must arrive at the front line before February 15, and wait for the dispatch of the Northern Military Commission before the division headquarters arrived at the front line.

Liu Lang was overjoyed, with these sixty large trucks, all his personnel and part of his equipment would be able to march at a speed of 300 miles a day, and he would be able to ensure enough rest. The more than 300 men of the baggage company only need to transport the food and ammunition prepared for the big battle and the artillery company to the front line after more than 20 days, and they are not needed for the front digging fortifications.

"The order goes down, all the personnel except for the necessary personal equipment and bring enough base ammunition, all the rest of the baggage is left in the baggage company, by the way, send a telegram back to the division seat, because our regiment has been training for a long time and the supply is insufficient, I hope that the division headquarters will support our regiment for 10 days of rations and machine rifle ammunition loss of 50,000 rounds, 60 and 82 mortar shells 2,000 rounds, and, by the way, remind the chief of staff that the military salary owed to our regiment for two months should also be made up." Liu Lang gave Chi Dakui an order.

"This ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ Sir, will Master Huang agree? Chi Dakui was startled by Liu Lang's lion opening his mouth.

"Stupid, Lao Tzu doesn't want it like that, you just wait to go to Beiping with an iron footboard!" Liu Lang glanced at his confidant angrily.

Chi Dakui is loyal enough, but this ability to adapt to changes on the spot really makes people a little anxious! But it doesn't matter, it's still early before the all-out war in five years, and Chi Dakui still has time to learn and improve.

"Hehe, Lao Chi, as the first unit to rush to the battlefield, it is the most appropriate response for the regiment to ask the division headquarters to give some appropriate compensation, if not, what do you think the two divisions will think?" Yu Xiancheng smiled slightly and explained for Liu Lang.

"Nonsense, that must be because I think the chief is a fool." The twists and turns in the minds of the two smart people made Chi Dakui a little anxious,

"Then do you think Senior Commander Huang and Chief of Staff Li will think that our regimental seat is a bun?"

"Haha, of course not, the chief got two German imported cannons from them that day, and I heard that the division seat was distressed for a few days and didn't sleep wellใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚" As soon as Chi Dakui finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses and widened his eyes: "What do you mean, sir, this is on purpose?" lest the division react and not give us the car? โ€

Liu Lang and Yu Xiancheng looked at each other and smiled, fortunately, this one is not too stupid, and he finally reacted.

That's right, if Liu Lang honestly goes straight to the front line by car, it is really not in line with Liu Lang's personality that suffering losses has never been a blessing. If Xiao Jiujiu, who was fighting the baggage battalion of the division headquarters, was investigated by the commanders, I am afraid that it would not be Liu Lang's autumn wind to fight the division headquarters, but the idea of the two commanders of the division headquarters to fight the independent regiment.

After all, the bandits who had just exterminated a force of 3,000 people were captured, but they were not young or old.

Sure enough, after receiving Liu Lang's telegram requesting military funds, although Huang Jie frowned, he still approved it with a stroke of his pen, any first unit to go to the front line has a reason to be preferential, although Liu Lang wants these things that are a little lion open his mouth, but it is still acceptable to halve. For this reason, Chief of Staff Li Bohua also sent a consoling telegram, asking Liu Lang to put the country and the war first, and not to be too petty.

It was not until two hours after receiving a telegram from the baggage battalion that the entire army of the Independent Regiment was ready to leave the Xi'an defense area in the evening that Huang Jie and Li Bohua looked at each other with a wry smile.

Grandma's legs were put on a swing by Liu Lang, the kid.

From receiving the supplies to the whole regiment coming out of the camp, Liu Lang only took less than half an hour, and it seemed that he was in urgent need of supplies, and he was obviously waiting for the car to come, for fear that he would be transferred back to the baggage battalion by the division headquarters if he ran slowly.
