Chapter 650: Puzzle
More than 1,800 disabled veterans, according to their own wishes, went to several factories where the Chinese business group was about to break ground, where some continued to take up guns and served as factory guards, and some would be trained to become section managers.
As with the previous arrangement, they not only have a monthly disability allowance but also a training allowance, and the escort team of as little as 15 and as many as 30 people in each village is basically arranged according to the newly formed infantry squad of the independent regiment, and the equipment is all replaced with shotguns and Japanese-style standard weapons.
In order to ensure that the weapons and equipment are not lost, each gun distributed to the village guard, which is actually the reserve militia, will be branded with a new number, and all the bullets will be concentrated in the hands of the disabled veterans, and can only be issued after live-fire training and emergencies in the village.
This time, the scope of the veterans' dismissal gradually expanded to the entire territory of Guangyuan, and the Guangyuan County Independent Regiment also sent an infantry company to garrison in turn for the first time, but this time no one objected.
Basically, the entire Guangyuan was under the control of the independent regiment. However, this is not that the Independent Regiment has exceeded its authority, and the duty of the Independent Regiment to garrison Guangyuan is to be responsible for all important military and political affairs in the entire Guangyuan region and to protect the safety of the people of Guangyuan.
There were also some who were seriously injured and could not work, Liu Lang began to prepare for the construction of the first Invalides in Guangyuan County, and in a few months, they could live there, and all the expenses were paid by the Quartermaster Department of the Independent Regiment.
Seeing the treatment of disabled soldiers in the Independent Regiment, although the Independent Regiment had no intention of recruiting new soldiers, the village guards unexpectedly became fragrant and gluttonous, and the applicants were overcrowded. Everyone knows that it is nominally an escort team, but it has a small training every day and a big training every three days, and it is basically training in the form of a reserve, and if it encounters wartime, they can also go out as strong men at any time.
As for the strong men, not only do they have training allowances in peacetime, but their salaries in wartime are much less than those of ordinary officers and soldiers, and they can also supplement their military membership at any time.
Even, this time Beiping awarded the medal, more than 20 strong men who turned into military status during the war were awarded medals by the government.
If it weren't for the fear of being stolen, the peasant family who had won the medal would have hung the medal at the gate of the courtyard, and wherever the family went, even the rich people who had not looked at them before would have looked at them with a smile on their faces.
Who knows if the next time there is a war, those soldiers will become squad leaders, platoon commanders or even company commanders?
The list handed in by the scattered veterans was as high as four or five thousand people, Liu Lang scolded nonsense at a glance, how many people is Guangyuan County? Guangyuan is a big county, but the county plus the county seat has a population of only 300,000, and 5,000 young and strong people are not to work at once, so who will do the farming work? Will it be handed over to women and children of the old and the young?
Liang Wenzhong was ordered to give an explanation, and each village should report the number of guards according to the number of people, and if it should be fifteen, it can only be fifteen, and the number cannot be expanded. It is easy to handle the number of people who sign up, and the escort team is the best of the best, and those who are not qualified will be eliminated.
As soon as everything was arranged, Ji Yanxue walked into the office of the regiment headquarters with a solemn face and handed a telegram to Liu Lang.
After reading the telegram, Liu Lang sighed slightly in his heart, the thing he was worried about in his heart finally came.
In the past time and space, another famous red army would enter Sichuan from Shaanxi during this time period, and an agrarian revolution broke out on the border of Sichuan Province, and practitioners gathered.
And now, perhaps because of the appearance of his little butterfly, Guangyuan has an additional garrison of an independent regiment that did not exist, and the red troops that were supposed to send troops in December last year have set the time for this July, and the place where they marched is still the ancient mountain county called the red base by later generations, 120 miles away from the county seat of Guangyuan.
After all, the trajectory of history has returned to the original path, and it is not because of his appearance that the Red Army has lost such a special red trace on the land of China.
And this telegram was sent to him by his cousin, who was busy with the dispute between the two Lius. In the past time and space, it was also the Great War of Erliu that was very long, and there were almost no troops available on the border of Sichuan Province, so the Red Army was able to grow there, and it was not until two years later that they embarked on another long-distance journey from here.
Although the wording on the telegram was not very harsh, the military order for the so-called "suppression of bandits" was issued.
"Order the regimental deputy and chief of staff, as well as all commanders at and above the battalion level, to come to the regimental headquarters for a meeting." Liu Lang said to Ji Yanxue.
"Okay, just 。。。。。。" Ji Yanxue looked at Liu Lang with a little worry.
Ji Yanxue knows Liu Lang too well, if he decides to fight, he will never hold this military meeting, as long as he hesitates, it must be that he doesn't want to fight. If you don't want to fight, you can only disobey military orders. In fact, even if it is a fight, Ji Yanxue knows that a hat that starts a civil war will always be worn on Liu Lang's head, which is what she does not want to see.
It's a dilemma.
"It's okay, I've got my own plan." Liu Lang saw the worry flashing in Ji Yanxue's eyes, and couldn't help but smile and comfort.
He knew Ji Yanxue's worries, but Ji Yanxue didn't know, he was the most orthodox red inheritor in his bones, but first put aside the fact that they were all Chinese, he would never shoot at his own countrymen, they were all old man's comrades-in-arms, there were several he had seen when he was young, how could he go to war against them?
The purpose of his meeting was just to see how everyone reacted. The hateful politics must not be brought into the army he worked so hard to build, which is also Liu Lang's bottom line.
The officers of the independent regiment who have gradually grown up, without their knowledge, Liu Lang's assessment of them is not just an assessment of conscience.
"That's the situation, come, everyone come and talk about your opinions, my opinion is to speak freely, and at the same time, this military meeting, there will be no written record, just sit here together and blow the cowhide." Liu Lang simply read the contents of the telegram, threw the telegram on the table, glanced at the new regimental deputy sitting next to him with a calm face, and said lightly.
There was silence in the room.
There are those who smoke with their brows twisted, and those who bow their heads and ponder, but no one speaks anyway.
Shooting at their own compatriots, but it is the first time that the independent regiment has ever suffered it, even if they are declared "bandits", but can they be the same as bandits who kill people and overhaul goods? Everyone has their own judgment, and that's not the same.
"Zhao Ergou, don't you usually talk the most? Why, when the battalion commander began to play deep for Lao Tzu, come, you start the cannon. Liu Lang glanced at it and finally spoke.
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to say it, but, as you know, the mountain artillery shells you gave me are only 150 rounds in total, and the live ammunition is almost used up these days, and I'm afraid that my artillery battalion won't get any credit for this battle, and the credit and bonus will be left to the brothers of the infantry battalion! They are very good at fighting. Zhao Ergou said with a bitter face.
Although it is an excuse for the lack of shells, the meaning of shirk can be heard by everyone.
Of course, as soon as he said this, almost all the infantry commanders began to scold this bastard in their hearts, if you don't fight on the dog day, you won't fight, and you will put the old men on the front to make wool.
