Chapter 42 The Formation of the Third Regiment

Early the next morning, Brigade Commander Jiang hurriedly called someone to call Li Qing and Regiment Commander Yan over, and as soon as the two arrived at the door, Brigade Commander Jiang hurriedly walked out.

"Li Qing! I've fulfilled your request, and now the brothers have decided to stay, right? Brigade Commander Jiang walked up to Li Qing's side and said with a smile.

"Well, the brothers' ideological work has been done, all stay!" Li Qing said with a smile.

"Good! Good! Brigade Commander Jiang said happily, and after speaking, he reached out and patted Li Qing's shoulder.

"Brigade commander, since we have all decided to stay, when will you let us join the national army?" Li Qing asked curiously.

"Hehe, you're still in a hurry!" Brigadier Jiang said with a smile.

Brigade Commander Jiang's eyes suddenly turned to Commander Yan, and said to him solemnly, "Commander Yan! Since this kid has decided to stay, then you can arrange a welcome meeting and let them officially join the ranks of the national army! ”

"Yes, good! Don't worry! I'll arrange it and make sure to complete the task! Commander Yan replied with a smile, and after speaking, he saluted Brigade Commander Jiang with a standard military salute.

When Li Qing saw it, he hurriedly saluted Brigade Commander Jiang.

Brigade Commander Jiang couldn't help laughing when he looked at Li Qing's appearance, he stretched out his hand and took off his hat, patted Li Qing's head lightly, and then said with a smile: "You stinky boy, salute me before you enter the army!" Isn't it crazy to want to be a soldier? ”

"Where is it?" Li Qing pouted in defense.

"Hehe, I'm kidding you! Disperse y'all! Commander Yan, hurry up and prepare well, let's help them hold an enlistment conference today. Li Qing, don't be idle, you take the soldiers to the quartermaster office to get their uniforms and prepare to attend the afternoon meeting! Brigadier Jiang said to the two.

"Yes!" They replied loudly, and then they dispersed, and prepared to go separately.

Soon Li Qing hurriedly returned to the barracks, found Yonghang and said to him: "You hurry up and assemble the team, assemble immediately, and be fast!" ”

"Assemble the team? What are you doing with a team? Shall we go? Yonghang asked curiously.

"It's not about leaving, it's about gathering the team to go to the quartermaster to get the uniform! We're ready to officially join the ranks of the national army today! Li Qing said with a smile.

"Oh? So fast? Yonghang said in surprise.

"Yes, yes! Alright, you should hurry up and inform the brothers to come and gather! Let's go to the quartermaster office to get our uniforms! Li Qing said to Yonghang.

"Okay, I'll gather right away!" Yonghang said with a smile, and ran away after saying that.

Yonghang ran around in front of each barracks, took out the whistle he carried with him and blew it vigorously, and the brothers hurriedly ran out when they heard the whistle, quickly lined up in a column, and stood neatly in front of Li Qing.

"Brother, it's all assembled! The brothers have arrived! Not a bad one! Yonghang reported to Li Qing.

"Well, okay, you can return to the team!" Li Qing said to him.

Hearing this, Yonghang hurriedly turned around and ran into the column quickly.

Li Qing said to everyone: "Today we are going to join the National Revolutionary Army, from today we will be a regular army, we will now go to get military uniforms, change clothes to participate in the welcome meeting!" After the conference, we will officially join the National Revolutionary Army, and in the future, we will fight for ourselves and show them that we are a sharp knife, and wherever we go, the devil will disappear without leaving a piece of armor! Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Yes!" Li Qing nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's go! Change your uniform! Li Qing waved his hand at everyone, and then shouted at everyone with a smile.

"Let's go! Get new clothes! Everyone shouted excitedly, jumping up and down like a group of wild monkeys.

The quartermaster office was not far from the camp, and everyone rushed there every once in a while, only to see that the quartermaster office was full of brand-new uniforms and all kinds of weapons and ammunition.

Li Qing walked into the house with his brothers, and suddenly several soldiers broke out, and a leading officer stopped them at once and yelled at them: "Stop, who are you, how can you casually break into the quartermaster's office!" ”

"Hehe, don't get me wrong, we are here to lead the army, we are the people of the three regiments that are about to be formed, and please make it convenient for the eldest brother, let us go in, change into military uniforms and hurry up to participate in the welcome meeting, and join the ranks of the national army as soon as possible, this day, our brothers have been waiting for a long time!" Li Qing said with a smile.

"Oops! You fucking don't give me bullshit, you kid has been talking nonsense for a long time! Where can you receive military supplies casually! Gotta open a certificate! If we don't have proof, we won't be able to give you the uniform, or we won't be able to afford it! The leading officer said solemnly to Li Qing.

"Brother, did the brigade commander prove it to you? Take it out! Yonghang said to Li Qing.

"Proof? The brigade commander didn't give me proof! Li Qing said in surprise.

"It is estimated that the brigade commander has a lot of things to do, and he is too busy to get dizzy! This is a consistent rule in our troops! Don't say that our quartermaster doesn't give you clothes. This is true even in the quartermaster offices of other units! Thank you for your understanding! Without proof, brother, I'm really helpless! The officer asked.

"Alright! So be it! Yonghang, you hurry up and go to the brigade commander to open a certificate! We're waiting for you right here! Li Qing said to Yonghang.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Yonghang answered and left in a hurry.

Yonghang said goodbye to everyone and did not go directly to the brigade commander, but hurriedly went to Commander Yan and told Commander Yan what they had encountered.

After listening to Yonghang's complaints, Head Yan slapped his head hard, and then said to Yonghang very apologetically: "Oops! I'm really causing you a lot of trouble now! Look at my memory, the certificate that the brigade commander gave to your three regiments is here! I'm really sorry! So be it! I'll take the certificate and go with you to get your new uniform!" Wait for me! ”

"Oops! I see! I'm just saying! How could the brigade commander ask us to pick up our uniforms without issuing a certificate? I'll look for it with you! Yonghang said with a smile.

"Hey! Good! Head Yan answered, and began to look for it.

Head Yan rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the house for a long time, and finally found a neatly folded certificate in a small drawer.

"Found it! That's it! Head Yan said with a smile, waving the certificate with his hand as he spoke.

"Bring it to me!" Yonghang said with a smile.

Commander Yan hurriedly handed him the certificate, Yonghang opened it and saw that it was full of a row of black words, which read: "The iron-blooded brigade of our National Revolutionary Army will be newly organized into the third regiment in the near future, and the regiment is in urgent need of military clothes. Below are also capitalized "Jiang Chen", two large bold characters written with a brush.

"That's it, I'm leaving!" Yonghang said with a smile.

"Hey! Good! Go ahead! Head Yan replied with a smile.

Yonghang took the certificate and hurried towards the quartermaster's office, and after a while he felt the door.

"Brother! Here it is! Yonghang said loudly to Li Qing, and after speaking, he handed the certificate to Li Qing.

Li Qing took the certificate, looked at it carefully, and then handed it to the officer in charge of the quartermaster's office.

The officer took the certificate, read it, and said to the brothers brought by Li Qing: "You guys take out all the military uniforms!" It's time to claim it! ”

Then he saluted Li Qing with a military salute, and then said loudly: "Hello sir! ”

Li Qing nodded, and then took the brothers into the quartermaster office quickly, and changed into new clothes inside, after more than ten minutes, everyone changed, and the group walked out of the quartermaster office one after another, and after everyone changed into the new military uniform, after coming out, Li Qing shouted at everyone: "All of them, the big playground in the target camp!" Rush march and run forward! ”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly turned around, followed Li Qing in rows, and ran towards the playground neatly, and for a while joy and excitement boiled in the hearts of the brothers, how many days and nights of anticipation! Now they can finally make their dreams come true and become a glorious regular army soldier! Who can not be happy with their blood! What's more, a group of elites have been appreciated by the brigade commander!

Everyone quickly rushed to the playground, where Brigade Commander Jiang and the commanders of the 1st and 2nd regiments were already waiting. Everyone soon formed several columns and stood there neatly, waiting for Brigade Commander Jiang's lecture. A long, wide banner was stretched on two pillars, on which were written "Welcome new comrades-in-arms" in five large bold letters. On the concrete floor beneath the banner, a wide red carpet was laid.

Now that everyone is here, it's time for the ceremony to begin.

I saw that Brigade Commander Najiang slowly walked to the carpet and said to everyone: "Hello soldiers! ”

"Hello sir!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"New comrades-in-arms, since you have chosen to join the ranks of the National Revolutionary Army, you must be loyal to the party-state, support the leader Mr. Sun Yat-sen, support the leadership of Chairman Chiang, and jointly raise the banner of revolution from now on. Why is there such a team as the National Revolutionary Army? It's very simple, because since we are a revolutionary party, we must have our own revolutionary army. Only the struggle of the revolutionary party, without the struggle of the revolutionary army, will not be a great thing. Because without the struggle of the revolutionary army, the ordinary bureaucratic warlords would control the Republic of China, and our revolution would not have been completely successful. With this team, we have the capital to win the success of the revolution, and today a group of fresh blood has also joined our team, the ability of these new soldiers is not necessarily under the strength of your veterans, we have all seen their skills, I believe that with the addition of such a team, our iron-blooded brigade will burst out with strong combat effectiveness! Let's welcome these warriors to join us! Brigadier Jiang said to everyone.

Hearing this, the applause suddenly rang out, and everyone was moved by the bold words of Brigade Commander Jiang. At the same time, he did not hesitate to welcome these new comrades-in-arms with his applause, and for a while smiles were on the faces of Li Qing and his brothers.

Then Brigade Commander Jiang announced to everyone: "I announce that the Third Regiment of the Iron-blooded Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army has been officially established, and because Li Qing has extraordinary skills and outstanding command skills, he is exempted from all assessments. From now on, he will be directly appointed as the head of the 3rd Regiment. If the soldiers of the three regiments have made outstanding contributions, the brigade headquarters can also award them with commendations for their merits! The contents of this document shall come into force from the date of announcement! ”

As soon as Brigade Commander Jiang finished reading out, the audience immediately burst into thunderous applause.

"Salute to the sir!" Li Qing shouted, and the soldiers of the three regiments raised their hands one after another to salute Brigade Commander Jiang, and they didn't let go for a long time!

Brigade Commander Jiang walked down the carpet, walked to the front of the team, stretched out his right hand to them, and pressed it tightly to the brim of his hat, and for a while everyone formed a beautiful landscape.

This is the end of the whole ceremony, from this day on, Li Qing and others officially joined the ranks of the national army and began their careers in the national army!
