Chapter 348: Sichuan Army

General Wang Yaowu, commander of the 51st Division, wore a thick Nizi military uniform, white gloves on his hands, his eyes were like torches, and his pace was steady, which was refreshing in this messy station. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the first time Yang Ling has seen the division commander Wang Yaowu after entering the 51st Division, as in the legend, serious and full of majesty, this is a typical commander of the National Revolutionary Army.

After Wang Yaowu stood still, he also shook his hand and saluted the regimental commanders who stood solemnly, and then opened his mouth with a serious face.

"Everyone get closer, let me make a few requests." Wang Yaowu waved his hand at the scattered officers, asking them to come closer.

"First, our army is newly stationed in Wuhan, and I hope that all commanders will restrain military discipline and prevent incidents that corrupt military discipline such as attacking and harassing the people, and will not tolerate it once discovered."

"Second, I have received news that after settling down, the political training department will send people to each regiment and battalion, and all commanders must closely cooperate with them to carry out their work."

……

Wang Yaowu's voice was subdued and frustrated, and his speech was also clear, and he explained the matter in just a few words, with the crispness and neatness of a soldier.

Yang Ling soon returned to the unit with Lu Xing, the commander of the first battalion, and Chen Ming, the commander of the second battalion, and the troops had already completed the formation under the command of the platoon commander of their respective companies.

The troops did not stay at the station for long, and soon the troops left the messy station with the brand-new blue sky and white sun flag held high, and stepped onto the clean and tidy streets.

With the fall of the capital Nanjing, countless industrial factories along the coast and a large number of displaced people were transferred to the rear of Chongqing.

The Military Committee stayed in Wuhan to continue to direct the anti-Japanese war throughout the country, and after the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Justice, and the Executive Yuan went to Wuhan, they felt that it was far inconvenient to go to Chongqing, so they all temporarily stopped in Wuhan to wait and see.

Countless factories were transferred, and the people saw that these government agencies stayed in Wuhan, so they also stayed in this convenient Wuhan area, and the factories began to start construction again.

Although the government designated Chongqing as the capital of Nanjing after the fall of Nanjing, Wuhan suddenly gathered countless factories, institutions and people, and became a prosperous wartime capital and the city with the strongest anti-Japanese war.

Although the injection of a large number of new recruits weakened the combat effectiveness, at this moment they were neatly dressed and lined up in a four-person column across the street, and for a time they also became the focus of attention.

Wuhan gathered refugees and civilians from all over the country, their hometown has long since fallen, turned into a scorched earth, crowded on both sides of the street at the moment, seeing the mighty and majestic National Revolutionary Army team walking through the streets, seeing the soldiers' fierce bodies, the countless shiny weapons, the people were excited for a while.

"Down with Japanese imperialism! Don't be a slave to the country! Someone suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

The people crowded on both sides of the street were like raging volcanoes, and when they heard the shouts, they all raised their arms and shouted.

"Down with Japanese imperialism! Don't be a slave to the country! The sound converged into a tsunami-like wave that echoed over the city, shocking people's hearts.

This tsunami-like cry came from the hearts and souls of every one of the people whose homes had been lost, and they desperately hoped that this heroic army would defeat the Japanese army and subdue their homeland.

The people were shouting, the brothers also straightened their chests, the more they walked forward, the more people who applauded the brothers, looking at the people's expectant eyes, the brothers inexplicably had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, they were no longer for the sake of being soldiers and eating food, but for this country, for this nation to fight, to defend the country.

At this moment of welcome and chanting from the people of Wuhan, the blood stirred in the hearts of every brother, they saw the ardent hope in the eyes of the people, and also felt the responsibility of the soldiers, and they were eager to go to the battlefield now to fight the Japanese army in blood.

Zhou Zhidao, the commander of the 151st Brigade, accompanied by several staff officers and adjutants, rode his horse slowly, and they also felt the enthusiasm of the people, many of whom kept stuffing various foods such as bread and hard-boiled eggs into the arms of the brothers, just hoping that they would kill more devils on the battlefield.

"We can't live up to the expectations of the people." Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao sighed when he saw these enthusiastic people.

The staff officer replied: "After the training of our army has been completed, we will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy on the battlefield."

While brigade commander Zhou Zhidao was talking with his staff officer, Zhang Lingfu, commander of the 305th Regiment, who was walking in front of the Duowu team, suddenly shouted: "The wind and clouds are rising, the mountains and rivers are moving-brothers, sing along with me!"

The team that was striding forward in a procession sang a military song with the commander of the 305th Regiment, and then the 302nd Regiment and the 301st Regiment also sang along:

Sweep vertically and horizontally, rejuvenate China, be invincible, and make great contributions.

The flag is shining, the golden drum is sounding, the dragon and the tiger are majestic, and the loyalty and lean style are raised.

Mobile offensive, brave and composed, surprise attack initiative and resourcefulness.

Treat each other with all sincerity, unite and strive for self-improvement, annihilate the enemy, and sing Kai.

……

The sonorous and powerful voice of the military song quickly overshadowed the shouts of the people, and many people looked at such a mighty and majestic team with tears in their eyes.

"You must drive the little devils out of China." A gray-haired old woman grabbed a battalion commander's hand with her withered hands, and her voice was choked.

In this loud and loud military song, the battalion commander swore and promised: "Old woman, please rest assured!" We must fight bravely to kill the enemy and drive the little devils out of our China! ”

The promise of the battalion commander is also the inner thoughts of every brother, and the brothers of the 74th Army also fulfilled their promise with their own practical actions, and fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders on the battlefield to defend every inch of mountains and rivers.

When Yang Ling and his troops went to the Wuhan area for training, in the cold northern region, another army with tattered equipment also braved the wind and snow to arrive at General Li Zongren's Fifth War Zone.

Compared with Yang Ling's high-morale soldiers and sophisticated weapons after reorganization, the equipment of this Sichuan army that traveled thousands of miles from Sichuan to the battlefield can be described as tattered.

When all eyes were turned to the defense of Nanjing, this Sichuan army from Sichuan to Shanxi went against the rout of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army against the current, and fought several bloody battles with the Japanese in Shanxi.

These soldiers of the Sichuan army, wearing single straw sandals and holding broken guns, were not knocked down by the cold wind in the north, nor were they defeated by hungry stomachs, but the warmth and coldness of this world chilled their hearts.

They traveled thousands of miles to Sichuan to resist the Japanese, and they did not get any supplies and respect, but were cold-eyed and ridiculed by the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army, and some people scolded them for calling them the Huazi Army.

In the cold northern battlefield with no equipment and supplies and no food, the soldiers of the Sichuan army with rudimentary weapons could not stop the Japanese invaders' aircraft and artillery.

Defeat became an excuse for people to attack them, they could not receive weapons and food, countless white eyes and ridicule made these Sichuan army men angry, had to take risks, robbed the arsenal of the Jin Sui army, but this was like piercing the sky, so that they who were bent on resisting the war had no place in the northern battlefield.
