Chapter 41: Boss Du
Listening to the footsteps of the remnants of the soldiers cursing Zhao Ergou's name loudly but taking the backpack away without exception, Liu Lang nodded with satisfaction. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Veterans who have experienced the test of blood and fire are undoubtedly the most valuable wealth of the army, and as soon as Yu Jishi announced that he could select 200 officers and soldiers from the 19th Route Army, Liu Lang immediately thought of the remnants of the soldiers who were born and died with him.
Carrying 30 kilograms of cross-country 35 kilometers, it is close to 70 years later, the PLA special forces are fully armed 50 kilometers of training project, for the lack of systematic training in this era, the basic impossible task, even the elite Japanese army, known as the first in the army, its rigorous training subjects are only 30 kilometers of training.
In the face of Liu Lang's almost impossible task, judging from their actual performance, it is obvious that they are also extremely willing to follow.
35 kilometers, there is no standard, as long as they can run down, Liu Lang is not worried at all that they will sneak and slip a few laps less, obeying orders is the most basic quality of a soldier.
After thinking about it, Liu Lang decided to visit several bigwigs of the Nineteenth Route Army, not only to poach people from under these bigwigs, but more importantly, the Nineteenth Route Army has an indelible glory in modern Chinese history.
For the Nineteenth Route Army, Liu Lang is naturally clear, and he can't be clearer. In the first battle of Songhu, the 30,000 soldiers of the poorly equipped 19th Route Army and the Japanese army with aircraft and artillery resisted for half a month, and fought an iron-clad battle, proving that they were worthy of being the former iron army on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition.
However, Liu Lang knew that since 1931, when the 30,000 officers and men of the 19th Route Army swore that they would never fight against the Red Army, and disobeyed President Chiang's decree not to resist the Japanese army's transfer of Shanghai to defense, this army had become a major problem for Chairman Chiang, and in the future, in Fujian Province, he refused to participate in the fourth encirclement and suppression of the Red Army by the Nationalist Government, and the glory of the "Fujian Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries could only be short-lived in the siege of the Nationalist Government's more than 100,000 troops.
It is really sad and lamentable, that such an iron army, which should have become a nightmare for Japanese invaders on the battlefield of resistance against Japan in the future, quietly died in the smoke of the civil war.
Liu Lang still admired the generals who commanded such a patriotic army, and no matter what the reason, he had to meet him. If he could, Liu Lang would prefer that such a strong army would be on the front line of the Japanese attack five years later, instead of becoming cannon fodder in political confrontations.
Liu Lang first found his direct boss 61st Division Master Mao through the phone, and after hearing the meaning of Liu Lang's words, Master Mao readily agreed to Liu Lang's request.
The 61st Division's garrison was not too far from the field hospital of the Fifth Army, and Liu Lang trotted all the way, but within half an hour, Liu Lang appeared in front of Mao Weishou's command department. Mao Weishou, who was already waiting at the door, waved his hand at Liu Lang and jumped into the back seat of the big truck parked at the door.
Liu Lang had a toothache, this major general's special car is big enough, this is a little different from the movie I watched as a child, and the cars of the Chinese army generals who went to the battlefield in a big way!
Maybe he saw the strange look on Liu Lang's face, and Mao Weishou also showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. Mao Weishou is a native of Jiangxi, and as soon as he spoke: "Cub, don't you know, don't say that you fought hard with the little devil and almost finished the family, but before this battle, our 19th Route Army was also raised by the stepmother at Chairman Jiang's place, and the brothers didn't pay their salaries, and Lao Tzu didn't even have a horse to ride, so the car came?" This car was bought by the fathers and villagers in Shanghai with donations to transport ammunition. ”
Liu Lang nodded silently, and there is also a record in the military history of this history: at the beginning of the war, the Nanjing government cut off the military salary of the 19th Route Army for several months on the grounds that the financial situation was on the verge of collapse. Since October 1931, the 19th Route Army has never received a penny of military pay. It was a cold winter, and the soldiers were dressed in single clothes and shorts and bare their knees, fighting in the ice and snow. The 19th Route Army fought alone for nearly a month, and if it were not for the strong support of the citizens of Shanghai and the industrial and commercial circles and the help of Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army, the army would have been wiped out of ammunition and food.
Liu Lang was a little more wary of Chairman Chiang's extremely good at using domestic and foreign struggles to eradicate dissidents, after all, he still had to mingle under Chairman Chiang for a few years.
Through the judgment of the current situation at home and abroad in the past two months, Liu Lang basically has a general context of his future path. Grandpa is looking for it, and the thighs of the red troops are naturally to be hugged, but by no means now.
Now there are about five full years left before the Japanese invaders invade China on a large scale, Liu Lang does not want to waste these five years in fighting with the Nanjing National Government, Liu Lang hopes to use these five years to bring out a strong army, a strong army that makes the little devil's head break the blood, even if it cannot change the general trend of the entire war, Liu Lang also hopes to use such a force to tell the military and people of the whole country that the Chinese have never been the sick man of East Asia.
Because of the "Songhu Agreement", the military headquarters of the 19th Route Army has been moved out of its original station, and it is now tentatively located in the area of Wangxian Bridge, about 30 kilometers away from the garrison of the 61st Division.
The two servicemen were not in the mood to continue talking, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
After walking for more than an hour, I passed through several heavily guarded intersections in a row, and finally arrived at the military headquarters.
Under the leadership of Mao Weishou, coupled with the special size of Liu Lang, the "anti-Japanese hero", he was also famous, and the gate of the military department was not subject to much strict scrutiny.
Under the leadership of a lieutenant colonel adjutant, the two went directly to the largest conference room of the Provisional Military Department, where Commander Cai Tingkai and Cai, who had already received the news, were already waiting.
Straightening his military hat, Liu Lang stepped into the conference room with his head held high.
Cai Tingkai and Liu Lang, who are thin but extremely resolute and carry the rank of lieutenant general, have seen them in the photo, with a pair of tiger eyes that are not angry and self-imposing, which is extremely impressive. But he was not the only one in the conference room, there was a man with flat head and short hair and a coat next to Cai Tingkai.
Liu Lang didn't squint, and stood up and saluted: "Military seat, Liu Lang, the communications officer of the 61st Division, is here to report." ”
"Oh? Commander Liu, you are now a member of the 2nd Division, so don't mention it again as the communications officer of the 61st Division! Cai Tingkai didn't move, and said slowly.
"Even if Liu Lang becomes a general in the future, the first item on his resume will always be the communications officer of the 61st Division of the 19th Route Army." Liu Lang replied loudly.
"Haha, count you kid who can talk." Cai Tingkai, who was expressionless, had a smile on his face, stood up and raised his hand to return the salute to Liu Lang, and asked the man in the coat next to him with his head sideways: "How is it?" Boss Du, there are still a lot of good men in my 19th Route Army! ”
The flat-headed, short-haired man looked at Liu Lang, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled when he heard this: "There is a model soldier like Commander Cai who defends the family and the country, and there is naturally a hero like Commander Liu under his command."
Boss Du? Liu Lang began to think about it in his mind.
It turned out to be him, Liu Lang had a flash of inspiration, a businessman who could stand side by side with a lieutenant general like Cai Tingkai without falling behind, and his surname was Du, and he could only be him when he went through modern Chinese history.
