Chapter 354: Elite!
Yang Ling once developed a good habit in the army, that is, not smoking or drinking, so that he can always keep a clear head, because smoking and drinking will make people paralyzed and lose their vigilance, which is extremely easy to fall into danger. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But since coming to this era, I have seen too many life and death partings, and at first I thought that smoking and drinking was a bad habit for soldiers.
But then I slowly understood those veterans, after experiencing the real battlefield, maybe only tobacco and alcohol can temporarily make people forget the pain of the war and forget the bloody rain, so they are no longer resistant to tobacco and alcohol.
"Come on, come on, deputy head of the regiment, we must not get drunk and return today!"
Although Yang Ling is strict with his brothers on weekdays, he has a good relationship with each other in private, and he toasts to Yang Ling at this moment.
In the face of the toast of the brothers, Yang Ling also put down his chief's shelf, ready to let go and drink it well, after all, when he arrived on the battlefield, he would not have such a good opportunity.
Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is extremely complicated, and now these brothers are all living people, but after a fierce battle, how much they can survive is not yet known, maybe this is the last meal, and Yang Ling has no reason not to drink.
"Come, everyone raise a glass and congratulate our group on achieving the second good result in the school review! I hope the big guys keep up the good work! Once again, take the first! Yang Ling also stood up and clinked glasses with them.
"Although we are second in the competition, it is the mule and the horse that has to go to the battlefield for a walk, and our 301st Regiment is not afraid of their 305th Regiment!" Several battalion commanders also shouted loudly that newborn calves were not afraid of tigers.
"Good!"
The brothers cheered loudly with excitement on their faces, craned their necks and poured the wine from their glasses into their throats.
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the wine table suddenly warmed up, although the brothers ate well in the barracks and ate well, but the food cooked by the cooking class was as delicious as the food in this big restaurant, and they grabbed their chopsticks one by one and ate and drank.
Qin Shou, Liu Yidao These guys are even more like starving ghosts reincarnated, they don't pay attention to it at all, they directly grab the oily chicken leg with both hands and stuff it into their mouths, and pour a few sips of wine into their stomachs from time to time.
"Deputy Tuanzuo, without you, there would be no my old smoking gun today, if you hadn't saved my rotten life, I would have died in Shanghai, this cup I respect for your life-saving grace!" The old cigarette gun drank with a red face, and leaned in front of Yang Ling to toast.
Yang Ling didn't say much, and drank a full glass of wine with his head up, which made the surrounding brothers applaud loudly.
With this old smoking gun taking the lead, the officers and officers in the regiment all came to Yang Ling with their cups, and Yang Ling did not refuse to come, as the saying goes, this wine table is the best time to win over the relationship, they are all brothers on the battlefield who block bullets from each other, so they simply let go and drink.
Yang Ling and the others let go of the restaurant to drink, and the rest of the troops of the 74th Army were not idle, taking advantage of this opportunity to entertain them with good wine and meat.
In the past, the brothers had no money in their pockets, but now they have been paid two months' military salaries, and they are eager to use it up all at once.
Yang Ling didn't go to find Sister Yao, but this meal of wine was also so dark that he finally forgot how he went back to the barracks.
When he woke up dizzily the next day, it was already three poles in the morning, and the orderly Huzi brought cold water to Yang Ling, washed his face, and then drank a bowl of sweet potato porridge, which eased his strength.
"How are the brethren?" Yang Ling put down the porridge bowl and asked Huzi.
Huzi replied with a smile: "Last night, I tossed a lot, Battalion Commander Lu and the others were still asleep, and Company Commander Liu went to the Drunken Red Mansion after drinking and didn't come back."
Hearing that Liu Yidao and they could still go to the Qinglou to toss after drinking, Yang Ling also shook his head helplessly, but the army commander gave them a holiday, and he didn't bother to care about them, let them be happy, and they would not have this opportunity on the battlefield in the future.
Yang Ling asked again: "Does the brigade headquarters have any orders?"
Orderly Huzi shook his head: "There is nothing else, it's just that Staff Officer Wang of the brigade headquarters said that a regiment commander was transferred to our regiment, and I don't know when it will come."
Before Huzi's words fell, some guards rushed over to report that the new regiment commander had arrived.
The head of the 301st Regiment has been vacant for a long time, and it has always been Yang Ling, the acting deputy head of the regiment, who has been trained for the whole process, and the review effect is good, and he has also removed the code and officially became the deputy commander.
Now the arrival of the new head of the regiment has made Yang Ling realize that I am afraid that the war is really not far away.
"Let's go, let's go and greet us." Yang Ling got up to greet the newly arrived regiment leader.
Soon he met the new commander of the 301st Regiment at the regiment headquarters, this principal had a face full of righteousness, the military uniform was neatly buttoned, and there was a slight gentle smile between his eyebrows, which gave Yang Ling a good first impression.
"Hello, I am Yang Ling, deputy commander of the 301st Regiment." Yang Ling walked into the room of the regiment headquarters and first introduced himself.
The colonel also stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Yang, I've heard of the big name for a long time, I am Zhang Handuo of the 301st Regiment of the new tune, and I will ask you for more advice in the future."
"Commander Zhang is polite, if there is anything in the future, just tell me."
After the two sides shook hands and greeted each other, Yang Ling had an intuitive feeling for Zhang Handuo, although he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he was a very easy-going person.
Through dealing with high-level generals, Yang Ling also understood a truth, all capable people have a special affinity, not arrogant, impatient or arrogant, these are worth learning from him.
"Brother Yang, don't call the head of the regiment, you have made a living, let's call each other brothers in private." Zhang Handuo was a newcomer and was warmly welcomed by Yang Ling, so he naturally had a good impression of Yang Ling.
Yang Ling knew that with his own background, it was very difficult to serve as the head of the regiment in this Huangpu lineage, since he was the deputy commander, he did not have any resistance to the new commander, after all, as long as the two sides united to fight devils, it was much stronger than fighting in their own nests, and there were lessons from history.
"In that case, then I might as well be respectful."
Yang Ling is also willing to have a good relationship with the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, seeing that he is easy-going and calls himself a brother, if he doesn't agree, he seems to have ideas.
The first meeting between the two sides was very happy, and Zhang Handuo immediately hoped to meet the main officers of the regiment, which could be regarded as his official appointment.
But the brothers tossed so badly last night, many of them were drunk and didn't wake up, and many of them didn't come back when they arrived at the Qinglou, so Yang Ling had to talk about the general's vacation.
"That's okay, you show me around and familiarize myself with the situation." Zhang Handuo didn't blame, and asked Yang Ling to familiarize himself with the situation in the group.
But before they could step out of the gate, the communications corps of the brigade headquarters galloped over from a distance on horseback.
"Sir, the brigade seat has notified the division headquarters for a meeting."
Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling glanced at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, and immediately rushed to the division headquarters of the 51st Division.
"Is there going to be a war?" Yang Ling asked Zhang Handuo tentatively.
Zhang Handuo replied: "I heard some on the way here, the Xuzhou front line is very nervous, I'm afraid we have to be transferred."
When the two arrived at the division headquarters, they immediately felt the tense atmosphere of war, and they did not wait long in the conference room, and the main officers of all the brigades and regiments of the 51st Division had already arrived.
Everyone tossed hard last night, and many people were still full of alcohol, but they all felt the atmosphere of war, and they were all happy, and they were ready to do a big job.
The commander of the 51st Division, General Wang Yaowu, was still in a straight uniform, and when he stepped into the conference room, all the officers stood on the ground and saluted.
Division Commander Wang Yaowu walked to the end of the long table, raised his hand to the solemn brigades, and the regiment commanders pressed down: "Everyone please take a seat."
"Ladies and gentlemen, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, we have become strong and strong after a winter of training, yesterday after the review of the Supreme Military Commission, we got a good evaluation, but whether it is really combative, we have to fight on the battlefield with real swords and guns to know, now the war in Xuzhou is tight, our 74th Army received an order, and it is also going to the battlefield——"
General Wang Yaowu's tone revealed excitement, after all, Shanghai and Nanjing fought a nest battle, and now that the training has been for so long, he also hopes to take this opportunity to show his evil spirit.
Although the officers were all sitting upright, everyone's faces were very excited, they had long wanted to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese, and now when they got the news of such a fight, they couldn't wait to fly to the battlefield immediately.
"This time, our 74th Army will be incorporated into Chief Xue Yue's Eastern Henan Corps and go to the Xuzhou battlefield to fight."
Hearing that they will fight under the command of Xue Yue, who has a "tiger cub", they are even more excited, they are not afraid of the strength of the Japanese army, they are afraid of meeting the commander of the nest, and Xue Yue is convinced, respected, and worthy of their follow.
Seeing the excited officers, Division Commander Wang Yaowu coughed and said: "Don't be too happy, in addition to our 74th Army, there are also General Huang Jie's 8th Army, General Song Xilian's 71st Army and General Gui Yongqing's 27th Army, we want to make a record, it's not easy."
These armies are all elite units of the descendants of the Central Army, and they have just completed training, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the 74th Army.
"Shizao, since the founding of the army in September last year, we have fought so many vicious battles, and we have never been afraid of anyone! This time, we must fight to kill the enemy! Win the first place! Zhang Lingfu, the newly promoted deputy commander of the 153rd Brigade, opened his mouth with pride.
"Good!" The young officers cheered loudly, and the morale of all was high.
