Chapter 355: The Flames of War Burn
The news that the troops were about to leave for the battlefield in Xuzhou excited every brother, and they were ready to do a great job to avenge the revenge of Shanghai and Nanjing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The brothers trained for a winter, and from time to time there were good news from the friendly troops in Xuzhou, and each good news would make them excited for several days, and now that it was finally their turn, how could it not be exciting.
The 301st Regiment soon held a pre-war mobilization meeting, and the new commander Zhang Handuo made an impassioned speech, from the atrocities of the Japanese army to the responsibility of the Chinese revolutionary soldiers to save the nation from peril, so that every brother's chest was stirred with blood and morale was high.
The regiment commander Zhang Handuo finally asked Yang Ling, the deputy regiment commander, to say a few words, after all, Yang Ling single-handedly grasped the whole training of the brothers, and now the troops can have such an appearance, he has made great contributions.
Yang Ling's speech was as crisp and neat as ever, and after emphasizing some matters that should be paid attention to on the battlefield, he made some arrangements for the opening and pulling.
After the mobilization meeting of Yang Ling and his regiment ended, the brigade headquarters sent an order to start the march at night, and the more than 2,000 brothers of the entire regiment suddenly opened up, which made the troops very busy quickly.
The results of the winter training soon became apparent, and the troops were busy but not chaotic, and the cooking squads of each battalion and company prepared five days of fried rice and salt for each brother, all of which were packed into dry food bags and hung on their bodies.
The brethren also received enough ammunition and grenades to hang on their bodies, and some of the recruits took their salaries to buy many knick-knacks, all of which were reprimanded and thrown away by the battalion and company commanders who patrolled the company.
"What are you doing with so many things, let's go to war and not go on a blind date, we will throw them at Lao Tzu."
Most of the veterans have experienced the baptism of bullets and bullets, and naturally know that on the battlefield, in addition to eating, drinking, and ammunition, they can throw what they can, otherwise it is a burden on the march, and everything is mainly to save their lives.
The veterans took the lead, their battlefield experience was invaluable, and the recruits had to throw away useless clutter and get ready to go.
The troops arrived at the railway station in the evening, which was already crowded and noisy, and everywhere seemed to be heavily armed soldiers.
The platform was also crowded with many people dressed in people's clothes, some people raised their arms and waved constantly, and some women cried profusely.
Seeing the people on the platform, Zhang Hongying's figure inexplicably appeared in Yang Ling's mind, during the training period in Wuhan, although they have been inquiring about Zhang Hongying's news, they have no news, and they don't know where to train and study.
In this era of war and chaos, sometimes some people will never see each other again once they are separated for a lifetime, and Yang Ling and Zhang Hongying are still two units, and it is even more rare to meet, but Yang Ling also took a deep breath, no matter what, fight this battle first.
"Brother Yang, do you think you are with the regimental headquarters or with the third battalion?" The regiment commander Zhang Handuo was wearing shiny military boots and a German-style steel helmet, looking energetic
Yang Lingsi replied: "I'll act with the third battalion."
"Well, I'll send someone to inform you of something."
After the regiment commander Zhang Handuo said a few more words to Yang Ling, he turned around and went straight to the regiment headquarters.
Although Yang Ling is the deputy commander of the regiment, he is also the commander of the third battalion, although he works at the regiment headquarters on weekdays, but now that the war is going on, he hopes to act together with the third battalion, so that it can be convenient to command the battle.
"The 301st regiment boarded, the 301st regiment boarded!" The order to board the train soon came over the loudspeaker at the station.
More than 2,000 brothers of the 301st Regiment quickly boarded the ranks under the guidance of the guides in accordance with the arrangements of the battalions and companies.
"Damn, it stinks." Captain Company Commander Liu Yidao had just been pulled into the stuffy tank car, and a foul smell mixed with blood made him almost vomit.
During the whole training, they were provided with good food and drink, and they washed clothes and bathed on time according to the regulations of the army, and the brothers became hygienic, and now they were suddenly thrown into this smelly and dirty stewed tank carriage, and they suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.
"You can save it, the hard days are still to come." The deputy battalion commander didn't care about the smoking gun, so he found some hay and sat down against the carriage.
Most of the recruits were added to the army during the winter training, and now they are on the train to go to the front line to fight devils, excitement and worry are varied, and the veterans are full of care, they have been rolling on the battlefield for so many years, and they have long been downbeat about life and death, as long as they can survive, it is better than anything.
With a bang, the heavy iron door of the carriage was pulled shut, and the inside of the carriage suddenly became dark, I don't know if it was dark, or the iron gate blocked the sunlight.
The train full of soldiers left the station with a long whistle, and the new troops quickly filled the gap in the station.
"Doctor Zhang, the dispatch room has informed us to board the bus at eight o'clock tomorrow." A female soldier wearing a Red Cross armband reported to Zhang Hongying.
After a winter of intensive learning and training, Zhang Hongying has become a doctor's assistant, no longer the medical soldier who can only treat simple wounds, and this time he also went to the front line with the army.
"Have you heard any news about the 74th Army?" Zhang Hongying asked.
The female soldier replied: "The dispatch room said that the 74th Army drove some away, and it will need some tomorrow."
Zhang Hongying looked at the messy station, but did not see the number of Yang Ling's unit, and pulled the medicine box with some frustration and said, "Let's go to the station guest house and stay for a night."
Yang Ling didn't know that if he was one step slower, he would be able to see Zhang Hongying, but they didn't know that they had already passed by at the station.
Yang Ling's military train was very fast, and the next morning he had left Hubei and entered Henan, but he felt the same when he stayed in the stuffy tank carriage.
The speed of the train slowed down significantly as it entered the territory of Henan, which was the territory of the First War Zone, next to the Fifth War Zone, which was burning with war.
The Japanese Army Air Force and Navy Air Force sent numerous bombers to bomb all parts of the area, causing many important cities and train lines to be blown up, and the trains had to stop and go.
Fortunately, the headquarters of the First War Zone has been sending sappers and railway workers to repair the line, which saved Yang Ling and them from going to the battlefield on foot.
Although the theater headquarters sent people to repair the line, Yang Ling's speed was still not fast, and the train was crawling slowly in Henan, about the same speed as a snail.
The brothers were suffocated in the stuffy tank carriage, and when they stopped at a small station, they opened the door and did not close it, so that they could finally chat and gamble in the carriage while enjoying the scenery in Henan, and those foul-smelling wooden barrels could finally be dispensed with, and the smell in the carriage was finally much better.
Because the vicinity of Xuzhou has been beaten into a pot of porridge, so the people who cannot escape are like a long black dragon moving along the railway line to the Wuhan defense line.
The troops stopped and stopped all the way, and finally arrived at Dangshan on the front line in May, and when they arrived at the station, it was already night, and they could already feel the strong atmosphere of the battlefield here.
As soon as they got off the train, the wounded soldiers, who were covered in blood and had missing arms and legs, wailed, were stuffed onto the train and pulled back.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and sulfur, and the rumbling ballistics of light in the distance pierced the night sky from time to time, and the glittering glitter made people's hearts palpitate.
