Chapter 242: A Little Regiment Leader with a "Deep" Background?
Who said that the general had to be cold-blooded, knowing that he had sent 2,000 officers and soldiers to the flesh mill that was about to start with the Japanese invaders, Liu Lang drank a glass of apologetic wine with the soldiers of each squad, and was drunk for two days.
But in the days when he was drunk, the independent regiment did not stop advancing, and the news of the Japanese invasion of Shanhaiguan was broadcast all over the land of China, and it was almost unnecessary for the senior officers who had learned that Liu Lang was about to go north to mobilize, and all the soldiers had already realized themselves.
The cancellation of the vacation of the whole regiment and the entry into a wartime state is the best signal.
Under the leadership of Liang Wenzhong, the logistics department frantically carried out various material reserves, and throughout Guangyuan, the surplus meat, poultry and eggs of the common people were continuously transported into the base. Fresh meat is salted in large quantities to make bacon, rice grains are mixed with various beans and sesame seeds, sugar and salt are added to grind into rice noodles and fried, in the hot summer can reach more than seven days of shelf life, rice noodles can be kept for at least two months in the cold winter, soaked in boiling water and added a few pieces of jerky can ensure the energy required by soldiers for most of the day.
After nearly four months of ammunition reserves, 700,000 rounds have been in reserve, and the production of grenades can basically meet the standard of four per soldier and another 10,000 in reserve.
The workers of the ordnance factory have been divided into two shifts to work day and night, desperately producing small mines that Grunov has just successfully developed, and the large mines that can blow up cars and armored vehicles were stopped at the suggestion of the regimental commander after the production of 500 mines as early as a month ago, but it was the small mines developed by Grunov under Liu Lang's prompting that could not even blow up people won Liu Lang's favor and was asked to do his best to produce them.
A group of innocent village guards entered the base of the independent regiment under the leadership of disabled veterans, and the whole regiment of the independent regiment was about to go north, leaving 100 recruits and a few reliable veteran sergeants and Liang Wenzhong sitting at the base, and in the next few months, the defense of the base of the independent regiment will be undertaken by these recruits plus disabled veterans plus 300 village guards.
On the 15th, after Liu Lang had arranged all affairs and finally received a telegram from the division headquarters agreeing to the long-distance field training, the 2,000 men of the entire army of the Independent Regiment plus 500 strong men, totaling 2,500 people, embarked on the road to the north.
At the end of January, the headquarters of the 2nd Division of the National Revolutionary Army.
"Chief of Staff, Liu Lang, this kid sent a message again? Where is he now? Huang Jie, who had been staring at the newly hung map of northern China on the wall, casually asked Li Bohua, the chief of staff holding the message.
On the map, several shocking red arrows have penetrated deep into the province of Rehe, and beyond the Great Wall, it is Pingjin of Pingchuan.
"That kid, I'm almost in Xi'an, fifteen days, a heavily armed regiment, walking 900 miles, and annihilating a group of bandits who are attacking Tianshui in the middle, this soldier is really not to say?" Li Bohua smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"He's in Xi'an? Hit another wave of bandits? This kid is rich again? Huang Jie was slightly stunned.
Obviously, Liu Lang's marching speed startled the master. According to Liu Lang's marching route, from northern Sichuan to Tianshui, Gansu Province, the mountain road, I am afraid that it will take ten days, and then from Tianshui to Baoji, Baoji to Xi'an, according to Huang Jie's estimate, there will be no more than 20 days, Liu Lang does not want to reach the destination.
Since the matter of being trained by Liu Lang's independent regiment aroused interest, Huang Jie no longer looked at the map, lit a cigarette, and asked Li Bohua: "Let's not talk about how this kid's military training is, Chief of Staff, what do you think Liu Lang's so-called long-distance training is?" ”
"Now that the war in Sichuan Province has just stopped, Liu Wenhui retreated to Ya'an, Liu Xiang settled in Chengdu, the dispute between the two Liu has not yet been completely settled, and the situation in Sichuan Province has not yet been completely clear, but he Liu Lang is approaching the New Year, pulling the 2000 people of the independent regiment from northern Sichuan to Tianshui, Gansu, to Baoji, and the destination is directly to Xi'an, is this to take the independent regiment to Xi'an City for the New Year?" Li Bohua smiled faintly and made his own judgment on Liu Lang's unexpected military training.
Although he didn't say it too clearly, the meaning in and out of his words was that Liu Lang had other plans, and the so-called training was just a joke.
"Haha, the chief of staff deserves to be the chief of staff, Liu Lang, this kid wants to play with you here, he is indeed a little close." Huang Jie laughed.
"It's just, Chief of Staff, you said that this kid knew that we wouldn't believe him, and still went out of Sichuan under the guise of military training, what did he want to do?" Huang Jie asked again.
"Although that guy is a little tired, but as a soldier, he is very qualified, as far as I know, since the outbreak of the battle of Shanhaiguan on January 2, the independent regiment has announced that it has entered a wartime state, and the logistics system is fully stocked with military rations, and the ordnance and military materials are also ready. Li Bohua sighed slightly.
"Hehe, of course, if it weren't for this, you think he would be able to get out of his zone just for a joke?" Huang Jie smiled proudly.
"It's just that I still don't understand a little bit, his independent regiment is subordinate to my country's Second National Division, and the route he takes is also the defense area of my Second Division, which doesn't matter, but if he wants to go out of Shaanxi, even if he wants to protect his family and defend the country, not to mention that he is a small regiment commander, it is my Second Division, and it will never be possible without the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs. No matter how erosive the war in the north is, there are nearly 300,000 troops, and the Japanese invaders will not succeed so easily, unless it is 。。。。。 Li Bohua frowned and said.
"Yes! This is also a point that I don't understand, so I just let it go and see what kind of moth that kid can make, and it is not okay to want to move troops out of the defense area at will just with his enthusiasm. Huang Jie also squinted his eyes and swallowed hard.
After so many years in the army, I have seen a lot of hot-blooded young people like Liu Lang, but it is rare for Liu Lang to lead the 2000 people and play cards so unreasonably.
Especially because the superior cannot fully understand the intentions of his subordinates, which is somewhat unpleasant.
At this moment, Zhang Chenghai, commander of the communications battalion, hurriedly knocked on the door of the conference room of the division headquarters with a telegram.
"The Ministry of Military Affairs ordered that all the headquarters of the Second Division of the National Revolutionary Army go north and arrive in Beiping before the end of February, and be placed under the command of the Beiping Branch of the Military Commission."
The content of the message was very simple, the two generals were first happy, then worried. Happily, they were able to catch the battle in the north, but the worrying thing was that the Beiping Branch of the Military Commission, which commanded nearly 300,000 troops, had to transfer their central army, which was 2,000 miles away, to support.
That shows that the Japanese army is prosperous, and this battle will definitely not be small.
Then, Zhang Chenghai saw the two generals he was familiar with, who were mixed with each other, looking at each other in horror.
Could it be that Liu Lang, a little colonel, actually has a relationship with the Ministry of Military Affairs? Even half a month ago, he knew the order that the Second Division would go north to the Great Wall?
If this is the case, I am afraid that from now on I will have to look at this inconspicuous little head again.
A small regiment commander who has a relationship with the country's highest military command organization is naturally different from a regiment commander who relies on shit luck to become a regiment commander.
The structure of traditional Chinese social relations may seem complicated, but it is actually very simple.
Liu Lang was not as leisurely as the two commanders in charge of the division headquarters, still thinking about the backers behind him, and he was telling a dozen people above the company level officer on the map about the current deployment of the Japanese army's troops in Rehe.
According to the telegram sent by Ling Hong, who had reached the northern front, Rehe was now in danger and could be captured by the Japanese invaders who had gathered heavy troops at any time, but the young marshal Zhang of the Northern Branch of the Military Committee was still stubborn in fighting the Japanese invaders in Rehe.
Liu Lang knew that the young marshal might have to fight, even if he was defeated. In fact, it was not only defeated, but also defeated, and by the end of February, the Japanese army would fully occupy Rehe and reach the Great Wall.
There is still a month left for Liu Lang, no, to be exact, he only has half a month at most, and all kinds of fortifications that can resist the Japanese artillery and tanks, he also needs at least half a month to prepare.
Now, Liu Lang is waiting, waiting for the division headquarters to receive the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the whole army to go north.
If, if nothing else, it's today. 8)
