Chapter Eighty-Eight: The New Battalion
Seeing that Lu Mengxiong began to pretend to be stupid again, Yang Rui sighed in his heart, there are two worst things about this student, one is that he likes to act spontaneously, and the other is that he doesn't like to delve into anything without a heart, and his previous political and math classes are basically below passing, his brain seems to be a 486 computer, which can only load and run simple programs, and things that are too complicated will crash as soon as they are installed. I really hate that iron can't be made of steel. Yang Rui didn't mean to teach him any more lessons, waved his hand, and let him leave.
Lu Mengxiong didn't react for a long time, and only moved his steps to leave Yang Rui's office under the prompt of Xu Liezu next to him. As soon as he went out, he was very uneasy, took Xu Liezu's hand and asked, "Ah, I'm done, brother, I ......"
Xu Liezu was very amused when he looked at him like this, and said: "Mr. actually likes you very much, that is, you often have no brains." ”
"But in the whole class, my husband scolded me the most." Lu Mengxiong was still very worried, he felt that Yang Rui was the most severe with him.
"You know that the last time Qingyuan was injured, you broke through with the guerrillas to Tonghua, what did Mr. say?" Xu Liezu's health is not good congenitally, but he has the strongest will, so Yang Rui kept him by his side as the commander of the guard company, he also made friends with various classmates in the military academy, and after being Yang Rui's personal guard, his classmates kept inquiring about the news, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't vomit anything.
Seeing that Xu Liezu took the initiative to talk about the last breakthrough, Lu Mengxiong asked, "What did Mr. say?" ”
Xu Liezu laughed self-deprecatingly, he laughed at himself for never going to the battlefield, and then said, "Mr. said that only you can bring everyone out." ”
"Only I can bring everyone out?!" Lu Mengxiong was a little surprised, it seemed that Yang Rui rarely said good things about himself. Why does this seem like a compliment to yourself?
"Well, that's what Sir said when he read the telegram." Xu Liezu didn't explain after he finished speaking.
After walking silently for a while, Lu Mengxiong asked again, "Then what is the Opium War that Mr. said just now, don't you say that I shot those deserters?" How......? ”
Xu Liezu looked at Lu Mengxiong's surprised face. Suddenly found that he was not pretending to be stupid, but really didn't know, so he had to sigh: "The most powerful control is not to make the other party afraid of himself, but to let the other party follow the rules he has made." If you are afraid of yourself, then once your soldiers leave, the other party will rebel again, but if you let the other party follow the rules set by yourself, then things will be easy to do, no matter whether you have soldiers in hand or not, the other party will honestly do things according to the rules. Even. If we make up some ideas and advocate and advocate them, there will still be people on the other side who swear to defend these rules to the death, and they don't want us to enforce them at all, which is the highest level of control. You see that now those dignitaries and nobles are pretending to be civilized people one by one, and those stupid scholars are boasting about persimmon oil. These are the rules that foreigners have instilled in us. Everyone didn't believe it before, but now they all believe it......
Mr. didn't say that you didn't shoot the right shot, he just wanted you to know that in addition to the machine gun, the rules have a greater effect, the machine gun has to be used, and the rules have to be used. Machine guns can only subdue tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people. But rules can bind millions, millions, of people. Zhengrui, Sir has high expectations for you......"
After Xu Liezu finished saying such a long paragraph, he stopped, he was very puzzled that Lu Mengxiong didn't understand these feelings. asked: "Zhengrui, these things have been talked about by Mr. when I was in politics before, how can you ......?"
Speaking of politics, Lu Mengxiong was full of bags, and he begged, "Brother, you also know what my head is doing, if it really makes me think about the east and west, then Allah will be bored." ”
"Hey," Xu Liezu really didn't know what to say, "Don't say much, you still have to pay attention to safety when you go to the front, the devil came to a night attack last night, fortunately there was some precaution before, otherwise it would be miserable." By the way, Mr. also let Xiao Yezi stay with you for a while, you have a blood feud with those second-rate people, so you must pay attention to safety. ”
Lu Mengxiong was still troubled by the esoteric political issues, and said goodbye to Xu Liezu without thinking too much. When he returned to the front line, Xu Jingxi, who took over his position, was arranging for a change of defense and did not use time to deal with him, last night the Japanese army had a wing of 3,000 people raided, although it was repulsed, but the officers and soldiers of the Second Division who had not experienced actual combat were rushed in by a brigade, fortunately, a regiment and a battalion were used as a reserve at that time, and in an emergency, Chief of Staff Xu Jingxi transferred a battalion out, which drove out the devils who broke through.
Xu Jingxi is not available, Xu Zhixuan of the artillery regiment is very empty, he now regrets playing with a three-pointed bubble, the annihilation battle on Xujiatai's side has not been touched at all, seeing that Lu Mengxiong came back safely, he stepped forward and smiled, "Hehe, it was released so soon, I thought it would be closed for three or five days." ”
"Lao Xu, what do you want to do, Lao Tzu has been removed from his post now and has become the battalion commander." Lu Mengxiong was a little annoyed when he thought of this. He likes to go to the front, but he prefers to be a bigger officer and have more commanding people.
"Really?" Xu Zhiyu was taken aback, "It's not that you want to be promoted from ...... colonel"
"Promote a fart, it's all those second-rate people, so that Lao Tzu was locked up overnight and removed from his post." Lu Mengxiong complained, but he was not annoyed at all in his heart, he still understood what Mr. meant. "Okay, don't mention this, I'm now the commander of the newly formed battalion, where did that battalion go? I'm going to check it out. ”
"Are you really going? I advise you not to go. "Xu Zhiyu didn't sleep last night, but his lack of sleep was depressed and he didn't fall asleep.
"What's the matter, this battalion is dead?" Lu Mengxiong asked.
"Well, it's almost like death, yesterday their position was broken into by a brigade of devils, and then ......" Xu Zhiyu was angry when he thought about it, "and then they fled, I said at the time that since this is the case, it is better to let me give the devil a rapid shot, so as to blow the devil to the bottom, but I didn't let it at the beginning, saying that it would hit my own people, and I also transferred a battalion to fight street fighting, hey, what a fucking group of burdens." ”
When Lu Mengxiong heard this, he grabbed Xu Zhixuan's thin little arm and asked loudly, "How is the first battalion?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Zhiyan was caught by him, "Big brother, just let me go." ”
Hearing him say that it was okay, Lu Mengxiong put him down, most of the previous Liaoxi guerrillas were in the first battalion, this was his lifeline, he patted Xu Zhi's wrinkled clothes and said disdainfully: "You are still an artilleryman at your body." Is! ”
Xu Zhizhen ignored his sarcasm and said, "Get out, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to take care of you, go and see your camp." ”
The commander of the first regiment and one battalion was Li Erhu, the former reconnaissance platoon of the western Liaoning guerrilla army, and when he was appointed as an officer of the second brigade, he was originally born in the third period, but Lu Mengxiong and Fang Yanchen and Xie Cheng said a lot of good things to him, and Yang Rui also wanted to set an example in the army, so that the soldiers had hope. So he agreed to the appointment, however, Li Erhu, the battalion commander, was only regarded as the acting battalion commander, and Yang Rui's statement was that when he passed the guò officer training course, then the battalion commander would be corrected one day. Originally. It is a matter of course for a soldier to be promoted to non-commissioned officer, and it is normal for a non-commissioned officer to be promoted to platoon commander. Rising to company commander is considered luck. But to be promoted to battalion commander would have to be a miracle. In the troops, the thinking of the company and the lower level is basically the same, and it belongs to the junior officers, but when it comes to the battalion and regiment, it belongs to the intermediate level, and the problems considered by the two levels are different; if a person has worked for a junior officer for a long time, he may not be able to raise the thinking of the company and platoon to the level of the battalion and regiment. If you want to be promoted normally, you have to go to the military academy for a few years of training and then go back, all in all, Li Erhu is smoking from his ancestral grave.
When Lu Mengxiong arrived at the position of the first battalion. I saw blood stains everywhere, many of the devil's corpses were not cleaned up, they were all thrown outside the trench, it seems that the devil broke into Zhuangzi last night, he went directly to the battalion headquarters without reporting, the guards didn't know that the regiment commander had been removed, or saluted the regiment commander, and then welcomed him in.
"What about the two tigers?" Lu Mengxiong asked the clerk of the battalion headquarters.
Seeing that it was the regiment commander, the clerk immediately stood up and saluted: "Report to the regiment commander, the battalion commander went to the wounded barracks." ”
Hearing that Li Erhu went to the wounded barracks, Lu Mengxiong's face immediately sank: "How many casualties did you have yesterday?" ”
Looking at Lu Mengxiong's gloomy face, the clerk was startled, "No, it's not much, it's just ......"
"What's that?!" Lu Mengxiong roared.
The clerk was shocked by his roaring body, and it took him a long time before he returned to his anger and said, "He ...... a company commander."
The first company commander was the fourth squad leader of Chen Ximin's platoon before, born with a beard, named Qian Changshun, a native of Zhili, and that night he took everyone to climb the drainage ditch of the railway and fled to the reed beach by the sea. As soon as Lu Mengxiong heard that he had an accident, he kicked a chair away with a flying kick, and he ran to the wounded barracks without looking back, in his opinion, the old brothers in the past were all treasures, especially those who escaped from Xiongyue City, he was very caring, otherwise he felt sorry for Chen Ximin.
The wounded barracks were at the end of Zhuangzi, and Lu Mengxiong shouted loudly before he arrived, "Li Erhu...... Li Erhu ......"
When he shouted the third time, Li Erhu ran out of the tent, and when he saw Lu Mengxiong, he saluted solemnly, Lu Mengxiong didn't care about him, and pulled him and asked, "What about Qian Changshun?" ”
Li Erhu didn't care about his rudeness and said, "Inside, the doctor said ......"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Mengxiong rushed into the camp tent, and in a separate compartment, a man with a white cloth on his head was lying there, unconscious, the previous excitement suddenly disappeared, and Lu Mengxiong stood still and did not speak. Li Erhu next to him said, "The devils who came in last night were ruthless enough, many of them brought grenades, and Changshun accidentally caught the road......
Unlike the Revival Army and the Russian Army, the Japanese Army has always advocated bushido, and is not very sensitive to new military technology, the Hatch Kais machine guns are all Akiyama Yoshiko's repeated requests to be equipped with a small part of the troops, as for the grenades, it is even more unprepared, I heard that Lushun is using simple handmade bombs, this kind of grenades are all assembled by hand on the front line, and the guerrillas used the same as when they raided Xiongyue City before, with the fall of Lushun, the Japanese army's various technical weapons have increased, and some of them are captured by the Russians, There are even those who bought from abroad after being fooled.
Lieutenant General Nishijima of the Second Division hoped that a surprise attack would push the Russian army back ten miles like last night, so while ordering the troops to raid, he also equipped the raiding troops with a lot of newly arrived grenades. These annihilated troops, many of them jumped under the wall in a hurry, and many of them pulled grenades and the soldiers who defended them were killed.
"What did the medic say?" Lu Mengxiong, who had stood for a while, was a little tired and asked suddenly.
"I have already used that new medicine, and like Captain Qi, the military doctor said that it depends on Changshun himself whether he can survive or not. But, Captain, you can rest assured. This kid has a hard life, it's fine. Li Erhu comforted.
Lu Mengxiong was silent after hearing his words, carefully added a few pieces of charcoal to the fire under Qian Changshun's bed, and then went out without saying a word, Li Erhu was very surprised that he was so calm, and he only felt that he seemed to hold something in his heart, and let his guards follow him. Sure enough, after a while, the guards rushed to report that the regiment commander had gone to the fire platoon. Grabbed a machine gun and left the camp.
"What! Fuck, why didn't you stop him?! Li Erhu seemed to have been bitten by a snake, and immediately jumped up from his chair, and he muttered, "Something big is going to happen." Fast. Fast! Go to the new camp. ”
Lu Mengxiong walked in Zhuangzi with a Madsen machine gun on his shoulder, and people along the way did not dare to stop him. None of them knew what the regimental commander was going to do. And Xiao Yezi, who was following him, didn't understand why this Lu Regiment Leader was holding such a heavy gun. It wasn't until Lu Mengxiong walked to the newly formed battalion that the soldiers guarding at the gate saw that it was Lu Mengxiong, and when they saw the machine gun he was carrying, they immediately ran back to the camp as if they were fleeing. The Land Killing God is here! The shouts rang out in the camp. The soldiers in the tents all ran out of their tents and scattered the birds.
Yesterday, under Lu Mengxiong's order, all those second-rate sons of the Second Division were transferred out and organized into a new battalion. The Russian officers in several regiments did not stop this in the slightest, and they were even very happy with this order, and in the eyes of these Russian Maozi, these people were representatives who could only make trouble and could not work. And after this new battalion was formed, it was sent to the south of Zhuangzi instead of the front. But who knows, last night's Japanese attack on the flank was very fierce, in the Japanese lifeless raid, the machine guns arranged on this side were firing because of the barrel heating failure, seeing the Japanese under the dense white shaking bayonets, and the fierceness of the barbed wire, the entire new battalion collapsed,
"Run! Escape! Just know how to escape! Lu Mengxiong roared and fired a shuttle of bullets into the sky, and the gunfire of "bang bang ......" frightened these fleeing soldiers into lying on the ground and did not dare to get up, and those who were still running, Lu Mengxiong turned the muzzle of the gun and fired another shuttle of bullets at the feet of those who ran, several soldiers were injured by the bullets that bounced, and the group of people also lay down and did not move during the screams.
"Assemble!" Lu Mengxiong shouted.
In the threat of the machine gun and the shouts of Lu Killing God, the remaining 500 people in the entire battalion groped and gathered over, they all looked at Lu Mengxiong in horror, especially the machine gun in his hand, for this kind of gun that will never stop, what they have the most impression of is that those devil soldiers kept falling to the ground under this kind of gun last night, and now they see Lu Mengxiong holding this gun at himself, recalling the rumors of yesterday's killing god and killing people without blinking, more than 500 people in the whole battalion couldn't stand, and a large number of people knelt on the ground, shouted again: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives." ”
Seeing their demeanor, Lu Mengxiong's lungs are about to explode, is this still a soldier? He struck the kneeling men with another bullet and shouted, "Get up, fuck me if I don't get up again, I'll kill you." ”
Finally, it took a while, and these more than 500 people lined up in a crooked phalanx, looking at these soldiers with their heads down and trembling all over their bodies, Lu Mengxiong scolded: "Pus! It's all a bunch of soft eggs. What else are you going to do besides running away?! Can you survive if you run? Think about how many people died on the way last night. Shandong fled to Guanwai, where else can you flee outside the Guan? Flee to the sea? Aren't you? Isn't it a man? ……”
When Lu Mengxiong yelled at the soldiers, Li Erhu had already arrived at the new battalion, and when he was on the road before, he was startled when he heard the gunshots, and he ran over to take a look, and was relieved to see that there were no dead people, and at this time he saw Lu Mengxiong shouting, so he slowly touched Lu Mengxiong's back, thinking about how to snatch the machine gun over, and now there is no accident, I am afraid that when Lu Mengxiong is excited, something will happen.
Lu Mengxiong was tired enough to talk with a twenty-pound machine gun, but he found that he had been talking for a long time that these obscene and trivial soldiers were still the same, and all they could do now was barely support themselves not to kneel. Seeing that his shouting had no effect at all, Lu Mengxiong threw away the machine gun, drew a rifle, and smashed the soldiers in front of him with the gun, and then he sat on the ground weakly and couldn't get up. Before, he wanted to surprise all these people, but seeing them fleeing in all directions, he stopped the urge to kill, he only felt that he had shot and killed people, and the rest of the people were like this. These second-rate people, in the face of people who are stronger than them, they are a puddle of mud; In the face of people who are weaker than themselves, such as those farmer men, they will be powerful and powerful, and they will be like old men. What kind of person is this, Lu Mengxiong just wanted to disband hundreds of people, but he was appointed as the battalion commander of this battalion, and he was all disbanded, so he was still a fart battalion commander.
The gunfire of the newly formed battalion alarmed the entire Zhuangzi, and after a while, the acting head of the regiment, Xu Jingxi, came over, he looked at the crooked queue and Lu Mengxiong sitting on the ground, he didn't know what was going on, he asked: "What's the matter, who fired the gun just now?" ”
Li Erhu immediately greeted him and said, "Just now it was target training, target training, and the regiment commander was teaching these recruits how to shoot machine guns." With that, he handed over the cigarette.
Xu Jingxi pushed away his cigarette, and when he saw the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground, he knew what was going on, and he whispered, "It's good that there are no dead people." You tell Zhengrui to be careful, and don't get into trouble again. Ay! This guy. Shaking his head, Xu Jingxi said and left with someone. (To be continued......)
