Chapter 505 - Concession Commendation
The all-Japanese equipment of a regiment, plus six 41-type mountain guns and 10,000 shells, actually made Liu Ruming very satisfied, and with these equipment, the 29th Army was completely able to organize another infantry regiment with not weak combat effectiveness and an artillery regiment.
In particular, the actual significance of being able to set up an artillery regiment is far greater than that of 1,300 elite infantry, otherwise the seven generals of the 29th Army would not have agreed to let Liu Lang abduct 1,300 veterans under any circumstances.
Of course, Liu Lang, who succeeded in not letting Liu Ruming sit on the ground, is not a stingy person, and the 29th Army will fire the first shot of the Japanese at Lugou Bridge a few years later, increasing their strength, which is to buy time for the whole of China.
Liu Lang got cheap and didn't sell well, and gave the 29th Army an additional 500 Type 38 rifles and 20 grenadiers, which almost didn't move Liu Ruming so much that he hugged Liu Fat and took a bite, this guy just wanted it, and he could almost form an infantry battalion.
If he knew that Liu Lang still had thousands of Japanese-style rifles hidden in the cave of Qinglong Mountain, I am afraid he would not be so moved.
Luo Wenyu's Independent Regiment in World War I merged with Qi Guangyuan and Dong Shengtang to annihilate the 4th Brigade and Regiment, and captured thousands of rifles, and later defeated the menacing Eighth Division, and captured a lot of them again, and then simply emptied the equipment of nearly an infantry brigade and regiment reserved by the Eighth Division.
Otherwise, with Liu Lang's stingy personality, he wouldn't have given two thousand here, and two thousand there.
Although Liu Lang can't look down on Japanese-style equipment, it is a good thing for the commanders of other troops, and if Liu Lang holds a Japanese-style equipment auction conference now, those bigwigs will definitely be able to wave the ocean to grab red eyes.
However, Liu Lang is not a single household now, but also an army under the leadership of the Kuomintang, and there are not many seizures, and no one says that they belong to him, but if there are too many and you don't want to hand them over, it is impossible.
Therefore, Liu Lang simply gave favors first, and then said, plus the favors that Chi Dakui sent before, no matter how he said, he could block most of his mouths.
Otherwise, if Liu Lang wants to smoothly transport these vast equipment that can be loaded with 200 carts back to Sichuan, he will not even think about it.
However, judging from the performance of Liu Ruming now holding Liu Lang's shoulders and being a dignified major general, Liu Lang's favor is very worthwhile, not to mention the smooth arrival of 1,300 elite veterans, and he also won the friendship of the 29th Army.
However, Liu Lang still did not do his best after all.
The veteran who survived the battle was in hand, but it was only a soldier. After Liu Lang finally recovered from his "illness" and followed Liu Ruming's transport brigade back to Beiping, Song Zheyuan, the commander of the 29th Army, who was the first to come to visit Liu Lang, made a request to Liu Lang that he could not refuse.
If the soldiers of the two regiments are supplemented to Liu Lang's independent regiment, the original 288th and 289th regiments will only be left with numbers, which is undoubtedly worse for the 29th Army, which has already suffered heavy losses in the Battle of the Great Wall. If the two regiments were revoked by the Beiping Military Commission because there were no soldiers, it would naturally be a big loss of strength for the 29th Army.
Thinking about it with his ass, Liu Lang knew that Lieutenant General Song was not alarmist, and the one in Nanjing could definitely do this, weakening the strength of disobedient generals and enhancing the strength of the Central Army was what he had been committed to. Even on the battlefield of the Great Patriotic War, this kind of drama of killing people with a knife was often staged.
The dignified lieutenant generals all came to the door in person, and of course Liu Lang could not help but give face, and all officers above the rank of second lieutenant who were willing to return to the 29th Army could return at any time, while officers above the rank of captain were mandatory and had to return to their original units.
Song Zheyuan also promised that within a month, the 288th and 289th regiments would be rebuilt, and the entire Japanese-style equipment obtained would also be equipped with one of the regiments.
At the same time, in view of the outstanding performance and great meritorious service made by the officers and men of the two regiments in this operation, all officers have been promoted to one rank, and those with more outstanding performance will be transferred to other combat units or reused. Especially the two heads of Qi Guangyuan and Dong Shengtang, although Song Zheyuan was vague, but looking at his beaming face, Liu Lang knew that their promotion would definitely not run.
After all, in the past time and space, with the battle of Luo Wenyu, who originally belonged to them, they took off the hat of the colonel and became a member of the core of the 29th Army.
However, Liu Lang's big strides and concessions, in addition to respecting this army that fired the first shot at the Japanese invaders, it is more important to leave one person behind.
Tang Yongming, a person who has stayed in Liu Lang's impression in the historical time, but Liu Lang has a very good impression of him, and the independent regiment also needs such a person with a view of the overall situation, and when Liu Lang is not there, he is fully capable of replacing Liu Lang in command.
The young grandfather's talent is not in commanding the entire infantry regiment to fight, Liu Lang plans to wait for him to recover from his injury, expand the establishment of the special brigade, sixteen special forces performed well in this battle, enough to be qualified for the role of the detachment leader, and Yu Xiancheng is the first commander of the special brigade that will expand the army to 150 people.
Chi Dakui fought bravely and was loyal to Liu Lang, but he was still a little worse off the spot, and it might be possible to lead an infantry battalion, but if he commanded a regiment, he had to continue to study.
Of course, Chi Dakui's rights will definitely not be weakened because of the arrival of Tang Yongming, a newcomer, and Chi Dakui's infantry battalion will become the most powerful fist of the independent regiment.
Song Zheyuan was actually very reluctant to Tang Yongming, in his mind, Tang Yongming was the next commander of the regiment equipped with Japanese-style equipment, but he didn't expect to be cut off by Liu Lang.
However, Liu Lang's refreshment of not dragging the mud and water still made Lieutenant General Song reluctantly cut his love, and promised that he would be responsible for the delivery of the military order to transfer Tang Yongming to the deputy of the independent regiment, after all, a lieutenant colonel, is different from the big soldiers, that is also on the list of officers of the Northern Military Commission, and if you want to be transferred from the north to the south, it is not that these two can do whatever they want, then they have to get the order of the Northern Military Commission.
With Tang Yongming, Liu Lang, who served as the logistics chief officer of the Great Wall Regiment, couldn't open that mouth even if he wanted to stay, but before Liu Lang could speak, Song Zheyuan had already taken the initiative to extinguish Liu Lang's thoughts. Tang Yongming is gone, Bai Yunyue must go back, and one of the regiment commanders is reserved for him.
Liu Lang had no choice but to temporarily extinguish this thought, China is so big, the mountains do not turn around, sooner or later it will be encountered, especially when the whole country becomes a pot of porridge in a few years.
A lieutenant general and a colonel spent half a day negotiating the people and things.
Before Liu Lang even had time to meet the Northern Military Commissioner, who had already wanted to beat him with a stick, the Nanjing commendation group had already arrived, and ordered all officers at or above the rank of lieutenant colonel and soldiers with first-class military merit or above in all units controlled by the Northern Military Commission to attend the medal ceremony at 8 o'clock the next day in the Peiping Auditorium.
The independent regiment and the 288th and 289th regiments of the 29th Army, which made great contributions in the Battle of the Great Wall, were all joined by soldiers above the rank of lieutenant and with second-class military merits, and the wounded soldiers could be led by the commander at the higher level.
You must know that the first- and second-class military meritorious personnel reported by the three regiments are not counting the dead and wounded, and the three regiments are as high as 470 people, accounting for almost a quarter of the people who are still in the barracks.
This is the rhythm of all the officials to enter the knighthood!
The hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in northern China were hot for a while. But there aren't many people who are jealous.
The combat exploits of these three regiments are the ones that thousands of people and horses have fought out with a knife and a gun, and there is no fancy.
