Chapter 822: The New Year is Approaching

Since the Red Army left Zunyi on the 19th, Liu Lang has not basically stayed at the regiment headquarters as before and waited for Xiao Fenghua's telegram.

As long as the wheel of history had not shifted, there would have been no great danger to the Red Army, which had re-established its leader, during this period, from January to April, they crossed Chishui and occupied Zunyi four times, defeated a total of 20 regiments of the state government, and obtained a large amount of supplies. At this time, they were still in a state of extremely good spirits and supplies.

As the head of the independent regiment, Liu Lang suddenly became busier, not because of military training, but because the Chinese New Year was about to come. February 3, 1935, was Chinese New Year's Eve.

Since coming to Guangyuan in July 1932, it has been three years in the blink of an eye, and before the Chinese New Year's Eve of the first year, the entire army of the Independent Regiment opened the Great Wall three thousand miles away, and the night of Chinese New Year's Eve was spent on the road, because the whole army was in a hurry to get on the road and did not even eat a bowl of dumplings, that is, the whole army added two more steamed buns bought in the passing city for each person.

On Chinese New Year's Eve of the second year, Liu Lang had already gone to the United States, because the chief officer was not there, so the whole army of the independent regiment did not celebrate in a big way, but only gave each of the troops on non-combat duty a day off, and in the evening made a whole meat banquet from the canteen with the goods sent by the county magistrate of Guangyuan County Wang County, and each person was allowed to drink half a kilogram of liquor.

This year is already the fourth year of the third year of the independent regiment, and according to Liu Lang's meaning, since the harvest this year is not bad, the officers and men of the whole army have been training hard for a whole year, and this year, they should have a good time. Not only to have a good time, but also to do a big job, so that everyone is happy.

Since Liu Tuanzuo has decided like this, why don't the independent regiment take action immediately? In particular, Liang Wenzhong, who was in charge of logistics, was busy, and the entire logistics department was sent out to purchase materials, and if the small Guangyuan county town couldn't buy it, it would go to Chengdu, which was hundreds of miles away. With the gold base seized by the Shanying Special Squad, the independent regiment is not short of money now, even if it is not enough, it is supported by the money from the dividends of the Chinese Business Group!

Liu Tuanzuo was only responsible for setting the general direction, and there were a group of subordinates who carried it out concretely, but he could not be idle, sitting in a broken car that he had picked up from Chairman Liu a few days ago, Liu Tuanzuo spent several days running to Chengdu, inviting his cousin, who was almost unable to get off the stage by himself a few days ago, to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve celebration of the independent regiment.

However, Chairman Liu was still very reserved, hesitated a little, and finally waved his hand to refuse his cousin's kindness. However, Chairman Liu is not still angry with Liu Lang, but the Chinese attach great importance to Chinese New Year's Eve, and he, the first person in Sichuan Province, cannot accompany his family or go wherever he wants to go like ordinary people, and there are many troops who need him to pacify, and it is impossible to make a special trip to the first army of the Guangyuan Independent Labor Regiment hundreds of miles away.

Therefore, although Liu Lang did not invite the number one person in Sichuan to the independent regiment, he unexpectedly received the 5,000 ocean military funds specially approved by Liu Xiang, which can be regarded as a big red envelope for Liu Lang's independent regiment during the Chinese New Year.

With this big red envelope, Liu Tuanzuo didn't feel that he had lost face, and turned around with a smile and went to the newly established 61st Brigade of the Seventh Route Army, which had been stationed on the edge of Chengdu. Not only did the commander of the new 61st Brigade gladly agree to go, but he also sent Liu Tuanzuo all the way outside the camp gate, and did not turn around and return to the camp until Liu Lang's car disappeared, which definitely gave Liu Tuanzuo enough face.

On the way back to Guangyuan, Liu Lang turned a corner again and went to the territory of the Fourth Division. Fan Shaozeng, Master Fan, what kind of character is that? received Liu Lang's invitation, not only did he promise to go in person, but at the same time, he took out a gift of 5,000 oceans on the spot, claiming that since the formation of the independent regiment, he, as an elder brother, has not been congratulated in person because of his busy military affairs, so he took this opportunity to make up for it.

Liu Tuanzuo may be able to pretend to push other gifts, but he can't push money alone. He didn't need the help of others at all, he carried a box in one hand, and almost didn't light up Master Fanhal's long eyes and lifted the five thousand oceans into the car.

It's hard for Master Fan not to be blinded! A piece of ocean is 26.6 grams, a hundred pieces is 2.6 kilograms, how much is 5,000 pieces? More than 130 kilograms, 300 catties smaller. As a result, Liu Tuanzuo ran fast with a big cash box in one hand, as if he was going to run slower, and the gift money was about to be withdrawn.

Of course, what really made Master Fan blind was still to come. After collecting the gift money of the local tyrant Fan Haer, Liu Tuanzuo was not a stingy person, so he gave Fan Shaozeng a return gift on the spot.

It's a note, though. Just like the note that Du Yuesheng once gave to the commanders of the 19th Route Army, it reads: 500 Type 38 rifles, 6 92 heavy machine guns, 15 Taizheng Type 11 light machine guns, 20 sets of grenadiers, and 1 million rounds of 6.5 mm caliber bullets.

Liu Lang didn't know how a certain Har'er would slander him for giving a gift after he left, anyway, when he left, Har'er was still staring at the note he wrote in a daze.

Compared to the 5,000 oceans that Liu Tuanzuo received, the value of the weapons written on Liu Tuanzuo's note was definitely more than ten times that of him.

Just, is that possible? Anyway, Master Harr didn't believe it at that time.

Of course, he didn't know how much Liu Tuanzuo had robbed of the Kwantung Army. The fact that the weapons and equipment that can equip a brigade were mobilized by Liu Tuanzuo and 20,000 people were carried out, which once made the commander of the Kwantung Army feel distressed, and he almost didn't squirt a few mouthfuls of old blood.

With a major general and a lieutenant general attending the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet of the independent regiment in the future, Liu Lang felt that it was not too embarrassing, so he did not bother to invite other great gods.

The matter of inviting the leading figures to attend in the responsibility of him, the chief officer, is over.

After dinner that day, Liu Lang and Ji Yanxue finished their daily walk and inspected the camp, followed by a drag oil bottle Xiong Si, and met the chief of staff Tang Yongming striding forward, and his wife, who looked a little petite in a cotton robe, trotted behind.

"Haha, where is the Chief of Staff going! Why did you go so fast and let your sister-in-law follow so quickly? Liu Lang stepped forward with a smile and said hello.

"Tuanza, I was a little depressed because I stayed in the barracks for a day, and I wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were fewer people to go out for a walk at night, and there were very few families in the independent regiment here. Qinglan too, I asked her to stay away a little, and she didn't want to. Tang Yongming stopped and said with a somewhat impressive face.

Hearing Tang Yongming say this, Liu Lang couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Because there was no war in the near future, Liu Lang personally issued a military order from September onwards, saying that all officers at the rank of second lieutenant and above in the Independent Regiment could apply to the regiment headquarters to send their parents, wives and children to the Independent Regiment for three months. For this reason, Liu Lang specially asked the workers to build a barracks for relatives at the foot of a hill three miles away from the camp of the Independent Regiment, which could accommodate 400 people, enough to accommodate nearly 80 families. If relatives are unable to come due to the long distance, they will be visited in batches after the year.

The family visit order is not only for the officers, but for all officers and men of the regiment, and the family visit leave will be completed in batches over the next two years, which lasts for a total of three months.

Because Liu Lang knew that perhaps, this was the last time that most of the people in the Independent Regiment would see their fathers and relatives in this life, and he couldn't deprive them of this precious opportunity.

As soon as this order came out, the whole group was very excited.

Tang Yongming's home was in Beiping City, and he followed the independent regiment to Guangyuan, and he never returned home for more than a year. In the end, Liu Lang personally approved that a few months ago, two male soldiers from the guard platoon and two female soldiers from the female escort team of the regimental health team went north to Beiping to take his wife An Qinglan and two children to the base of the independent regiment, and the family was reunited, and now it has only been more than a month.

Originally, Liu Lang also took the family of Zhang Ruhao, the deputy of the regiment, over and spent the New Year together by the way, but this one refused on the grounds that his wife was serving his mother in his hometown.

However, in the past few months, there have been very few family members who have come to visit relatives at the base of the Independent Regiment, and there are only seven or eight of the hundreds of officers in the regiment, including the family of Chief of Staff Tang. As soon as Liu Lang asked, he found out that except for a few who were a little older and turned out to be officers, including Zhao Ergou, the big battalion commander who was still relying on love letters to flirt with little nurses, there were more than 90 officers in the whole regiment who were still singles, not to mention the other big-headed soldiers.

The reason is very simple, the vast majority of these officers were promoted by veterans, and when they were soldiers in the past, they couldn't even eat enough money from there to marry their daughters-in-law? In addition, being a soldier is a precarious job, and who is willing to let their daughter be widowed at any time?

Over the past year or so, the officers and men of the Independent Regiment have had their purses, medals, and ranks, but the training tasks have always been very intense, and Liu Lang, the chief officer, went overseas, so he did not go home to visit his relatives, so this matter was delayed.

Therefore, Tang Yongming, one of the three giants of the independent group, has always been very cautious, although the husband and wife are very affectionate, but they have always kept a distance outside, so as not to provoke the envy of a group of bachelors.

"Tuanzuo, you come to judge the theory, Yongming and I are husband and wife, but he wants me to be ten meters away from him, what is the reason? He walked so fast, like a thief. Tang Yongming's wife, An Qinglan, is a northern woman with a straightforward personality, and she may have been a little angry, so she won't follow it at this time.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, this is my inconsiderate thinking, don't blame Chief of Staff Tang, in this way, if you stay for a few days, I promise to let you and the Chief of Staff walk side by side in the camp, and others will not look at you, how about it?" Liu Lang smiled slightly and comforted the sister-in-law.

"Really?"

"I never say a word. In this way, Mrs. Sister-in-law, let Yanxue accompany you, and the chief of staff and I will go to Deputy Zhang Tuan to discuss something. Liu Lang glanced at Ji Yanxue.

Ji Yanxue stepped forward with a smile and took An Qinglan's hand, whose resentment had disappeared a little, and threw a beef jerky into Xiong Si's mouth, and immediately turned around and left with the two beauties. With Xiong Si following behind, there were naturally no wild beasts in this mountain that could hurt them.
