Chapter 513: Vacation
Even the dozen or so lieutenants who had been left behind from the 29th Army who were almost frightened by the officers of the Independent Regiment who were excited just now were all covered with excitement on their faces at this time.
As the commander of a regiment, his prestige is so strong, although it is necessary for the whole army to give orders, and it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the whole regiment, but in fact, it is also a double-edged sword, if the commander is not strong, it will be a catastrophe for the officers and men of the whole regiment.
Obviously, Liu Lang is not only a genius-type commander, but also has a clear mind, and he did not get hot-headed because of his temporary suppression, but quickly pacified his restless subordinates.
As junior officers, they certainly understood why these new colleagues were so excited. That's not just a matter of the regimental commander being suppressed, now they are a melon on a vine, Liu Lang is suppressed by the high-level, they are not much better, and it is difficult to go up.
However, they don't think that such a Liu Lang will always be suppressed, as long as the war breaks out again, Liu Lang, the gold that was forcibly hidden in the sand, will definitely shine again, and at that time, no one can stop his light.
What's more, now there are benefits, the army is going to be expanded, and the strength of everyone present will naturally be enhanced accordingly.
Staying in the independent regiment this step, in the end it was the right one.
Regarding the reactions of everyone in front of him, Liu Lang actually saw them one by one.
I was quite satisfied.
Not to mention the officers of the former Independent Regiment, after more than half a year of training, including the hundreds of veterans of the former 17th Army, the overall prototype of the Independent Regiment has taken shape, and after the hammering of the Great Wall War, it has been completely kneaded into a whole. If the former independent regiment was just a mass of rough embryos, now it is a piece of fine iron.
Regardless of the fact that the independent regiment has only more than 700 officers and men, if it is pulled into the battlefield, its combat effectiveness will be even stronger than that of the previous independent regiment with nearly 2,000 people.
The law of war, which only the strong can survive from the rain of artillery and bullets, is cruel, but it is true. The 500 veterans who had already experienced the first battle of Songhu could finally return to the station, and there were more than 300 people, including the strong men, there were 2,200 recruits who could still stand here intact, but only this number.
Thirty percent of the recruits were killed and 50 percent were wounded, while only 10 percent and 20 percent of the veterans were killed.
Liu Lang knows very well that no matter how good the training is, it is only on the training ground, and the battlefield is the final assessment. And now, he has 2,000 such elite soldiers on hand, and if you add the infantry regiment of 3,000 people who have returned from injury, it can be formed in an instant. This is the bulk of this, and it will still be reintegrated, but as long as the officers of the former 29th Army cooperate, that time will be greatly reduced, and from this moment, there will be three or four years left for him.
Not only the soldiers, but also the old soldiers and ruffian officers, now their spirit is also renewed. Of course, more importantly, they have been thoroughly integrated into the Separate Regiment. From the moment they rolled up their sleeves and shouted to seek justice for the chief, it meant that they had completely stood on Liu Lang's boat, and they understood the truth that one is prosperous and the other is lost.
And the newly left more than a dozen officers of the original Twentieth Army are also very important, Tang Yongming still has some personal matters to deal with in the old army, after the award is completed, he and Qi Guangyuan went to the military headquarters of the 29th Army first, and their gang has no leader for the time being.
But Liu Lang not only needs a regimental deputy commander like Tang Yongming to stabilize the military hearts of the 1,300 veterans of the former 29th Army, but also needs them, old commanders who are familiar with the situation, as long as they grasp the hearts of these people, Liu Lang will be faster to infiltrate the spirit of the Independent Regiment into their bone marrow little by little, and completely become a member of the Independent Regiment.
Obviously, it seems to be working out pretty well now.
As long as he has such an elite army, he Liu Lang has the strength to dare to fight with a brigade of the Japanese army in the field.
"Okay, if you are promoted and you can lead more troops, you should be satisfied now! Don't even pestle here? What to do, what to do, what to do. By the way, pass on my order, the whole regiment will have a five-day holiday, and those whose homes are within 100 miles of the vicinity can ask the battalion commander to go home and have a look, and they must return to the garrison after five days, otherwise military law will be involved. Those who can't go home from home can go home in addition to arranging the personnel on duty to go to Beiping City in a group of three people to go around the city and explain to Lao Tzu, who is making trouble for Lao Tzu in the city, and the military law of the independent regiment can be clearly written. Liu Lang waved his hand, gave the order to evict the guests, and by the way, gave a big holiday to the 2,000 big-headed soldiers in the garrison who used their equipment every day.
Because of his absence, the supreme commander, Chi Dakui didn't dare to let out these energetic guys who had just gone through a brutal killing, they were all black hands if they didn't agree with each other, and it would be a big trouble if something happened in the city.
In the ten days of idleness, more than 2,000 sturdy men were encircled in this square inch of land, and they were boiled up, and there were fights and brawls almost every day, not one-on-one, almost all of them were group fights in the whole shift and the whole row. But it's okay, I know that no one has a black hand, even if he is punished by Chi Dakui angrily to go to the training ground to run laps, those guys with blue noses and swollen faces still compare each other to see who can finish twenty laps first.
In the end, it was not a fight for the sake of fighting, but a fight for the sake of running, and the commanders at all levels also added fuel to the fire behind them, and if that squad or platoon lost, they would definitely be punished by their own commanders when they came back. Like Zhao Ergou, because a platoon of the artillery company did not win the baggage company, in a fit of anger, he simply copied the guy himself and put a big bag on the head of the brother baggage company commander who was also a remnant soldier in Songhu, but he didn't wait to run on the training ground in person to win the baggage company, and Liu Lang, who was just rushing back to Beiping, heard about it and was locked up for six hours.
It was only at this time that the energetic guys were able to settle down, and the Bull Demon King's reputation on the training ground was definitely not covered. Want to run? Is 50 laps enough? That's definitely going to make you run all day.
"Sir, is it a violation of military law to go to the kiln?" Zhao Ergou blinked, blinked his eyes, and asked a little "shyly" when the big guy was about to do birds and beasts.
Although everyone sees a lot of obscenity, but the ears are still pricked up after all, this question seems to be very important!
Liu Lang bared his teeth, and just wanted to say that your mother is not forced to take care of other people's business, what do you like, but the corner of his eye suddenly swept Lieutenant Colonel Ji Yanxue's face and didn't look good, and he swallowed the words again. With a flat face, he said very righteously: "As long as you don't use strength, I can't care about how a bachelor is, but if you have a family and a mouth, you must take care of your lower body for Lao Tzu, especially like you Zhao Ergou, at most you can only visit a restaurant for Lao Tzu." That's it, get out of here. ”
"Sir, I'm a bachelor!" Zhao Ergou weakly argued.
"Don't think that you don't know that you run to the regimental field hospital every day, I have to watch you for my future sister-in-law." Liu Lang snorted coldly.
I have long felt that this thing is not quite right, and today I can finally take out my anger on him.
In the laughter of everyone, Zhao Ergou's face turned green.
