Chapter 6: Fighting (2)

Xu Ping finally knew why Xu Le wanted to leave the regular army, it should be that when he got along with Huang Bamei, Huang Bamei, the old cat, made some of the promotion conditions of the national army clear, presumably he already knew that with their brother's conditions, in the regular army, there would not be too much future. As a street gangster, the Xu Ping brothers did not read much, and only after following Mo Di into the militia did he occasionally read with Mo Di, and his education level was slightly higher than that of literacy, and he could read and read notices, if he didn't follow Mo Di, or he would be a gangster on the streets of Pingle all his life, and he might be beaten to death if he accidentally split friends with others.

After Xu Le left the 48th Army, he occupied the mountains in Lin'an, Zhejiang, and lived a good life, and found a very strong relationship. Huang Tianhua's third brother, Huang Guangguo, fled to Guangdong after the failure of the Longzhou Uprising, looked for a Communist organization in the province and Hong Kong, was ensnared by traitors, and successfully absconded on the way to escort. In the following years, he lost contact with the organization and made a living teaching in Zhejiang, Fujian. In 1934, Huang Shaohong was transferred to Zhejiang Province to preside over Zhejiang Provincial Affairs, and was also a native of Guangxi. In December 1937, Huang Shaohong re-entered Zhejiang, and Huang Guangguo served as Huang Shaohong's adjutant and confidential secretary, becoming the actual recruiter of Guangxi people's friendship activities in Zhejiang. With this relationship, with this background, Xu Le is very popular, asking for people, money, and even Huang Bamei and his wife dare not raise their voices in front of him anymore, especially Xie Yousheng, this guy from a gangster, thinks that Xu Le has reached the highest level of mixing, and basically regards Xu Le as an idol and worships him.

The reason why Xu Ping was so disheartened was because of the major adjustment of the 526 Brigade. Mo Di was officially appointed deputy brigade commander and commander of the 1056 Regiment, Li Baicheng's artillery company was promoted to artillery battalion, Li Baicheng also became a lieutenant colonel battalion commander, and Wei Zhigao's engineer company was also promoted to an engineer battalion, the same as a lieutenant colonel battalion commander. Xu Ping's spy company merged with the brigade headquarters guard company and Chen Zhengxin's assault company to form the guard battalion.

What surprised everyone was that the commander of the guard battalion was not Xu Ping reported by the 526 Brigade, but Zhang Kechang, the commander of the guard company of the 526 Brigade. The reason turned out to be because Xu Ping did not graduate from a bachelor's class and could not adapt to the needs of modern warfare.

When the newly appointed guard battalion commander Zhang Kechang received the notice, he was completely dizzy, his hands trembled, and he did not dare to take the letter of appointment from Li Songde. He knew that it was impossible for him to be the boss in front of Xu Ping, although he had a lot of qualifications and connections, and he was still a serious 800 professional background, but no matter what aspect he wanted, he was not as much as Xu Ping. There is a great god like Xu Ping in his unit, how can he live this day. What's more, this guard battalion has three companies under its jurisdiction, none of which is a fuel-efficient lamp, one is a special service company, the company commander Xu Ping, the other is an assault company, the company commander Chen Zhengxin, and the other is a police company upgraded from the brigade guard company, here part is Zhang Kechang's team, but the company commander is Zhao Guolong.

Zhang Kechang is going crazy, he is Ling Qianxi's old subordinate, Ling Qianxi left him in a hurry, leaving him to Tan Heyi, Tan Heyi is a newcomer, and when he is critical, he pulls the brigade personnel to the battlefield, and he didn't expect that these people in the brigade headquarters have not fired for a long time, and it is too redundant to go up to the position to make up the numbers. In the battle where the brigade commander Tan Heyi was seriously injured, Zhang Kechang was also wounded, half of the brothers of the brigade headquarters guard company were killed, and the rest were wounded. Although it had been replenished and its strength was quite limited, as soon as Zhao Guolong's guard platoon was merged, the brigade headquarters guard company was unable to compete with it, and a one-sided situation emerged. Zhang Kechang didn't want to be the commander of this guard battalion, he knew that the position of captain belonged to Xu Ping, and even if Xu Ping played the rest, it would not be his turn. The only advantage is that because he graduated from the Nanning Central Military Academy, Xu Ping was born in the army. It is for this reason that I have put myself in this position, which is not a worry-free position, it is a hot potato, a red-hot fire, and it is super troublesome. Zhang Kechang is an eight-step Hakka family, who has followed Ling Zhuxi for many years, although he is brave but not good at fighting, diligent and down-to-earth, not only Ling Lixi's guard, but also Ling Lixi's housekeeper, can write and calculate, and is good at business. Mo Di also believes that Zhang Kechang is really not suitable to be the commander of this guard battalion, and his most suitable position should be the logistics director and the captain of the baggage team.

Mo Di also knew that this combination was not only not beneficial, but would only be bad, so he proposed to let Xu Ping go to the Guilin branch of the Central Military Academy to study, get a diploma and come back, so that the tide would rise and take up another position. At the same time, the contradictions were also avoided, so that the guard battalion commander Zhang Kechang could give full play to his abilities.

Ou Shounian didn't care about this, but just took it for granted that when the enemy was in the past, the soldiers in Guangxi left Guizhou one after another, how could they send the people on the front line back, and denied the request of the enemy, but he didn't expect that the result of this would be the loss of a general.

At the instigation of Gong Qingyuan, Xu Ping took the initiative to propose to Mo Di to leave the guard camp and go to the Centipede Mountain base to take charge of the military. Jiang Chunyang and Qin Jishi also strongly agreed, although Li Baicheng and Wei Zhigao strongly opposed, but the two of them had no way to change the fait accompli, they could only look at Xu Ping sadly, and then said to Zhang Kechang hatefully, the future replenishment of Japanese machinery will depend on Battalion Commander Zhang.

Zhang Kechang was both happy and afraid of Xu Ping's resignation, happy that no one was competing for a position with him, and afraid that he would make a mistake if he didn't handle the affairs of the guard battalion, so he found Chief of Staff Li Songde to ask for ideas. At the same time, Li Songde put forward his second plan, which was promoted by Chen Zhengxin, the commander of the assault company, to the deputy battalion commander, and concurrently the commander of the assault company, to assist Zhang Kechang in leading the troops.

Mo Di also had this intention in his heart, and agreed to this plan.

As soon as Xu Ping left, Liu Qinglong, Hu Sande and other personnel who had not yet been included in the formation also left, and some of the wounded also took the opportunity to transfer to Xu Ping's banner, Liu Qinglong went around the Jinpu and the southern line, and collected a group of stragglers who were unwilling to return to the building, and unconsciously, there was a team of more than 200 people in Centipede Mountain, and took the name of the Eastern Anhui Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, embroidered the flag, and set the military uniform, and the boss was called the army commander, and the army commander was Xu Ping.

"Holy shit, that's a loud name." Li Baicheng said.

"Fuck, Commander, I guess I won't be able to be a commander even if I have gray hair in this life." Wei Zhigao said.

"Xu Ping, you wait for me, the next time I finish the war, I will be discharged from the army due to injury, come over to you, and also get out the division commander and brigade commander's work, it is better than holding this bowl of lotus seed soup all the time." Chen Zhengxin said that in this operation, he stayed in Centipede Mountain without much credit, and this time he was combined into the guard battalion and was still the company commander.

"You're talking less nonsense to me." Mo Di scolded: "Your assault company should be changed to a fire support company, three platoons, one sniper platoon, one light machine gun platoon, and one heavy machine gun platoon. ”

Chen Zhengxin shrank his head and ran away.

Xu Ping laughed and said, "Chen Zhengxin, this guy is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of the boss to speak." You can rest assured, I have Luo Wei for the supply of Japanese weapons, and I won't be able to replenish it, Luo Wei is the commander of the spy company, this guy has a lot of eyes. The three of you, each of you choose five people to be my instructors, I want to set up an artillery team, an engineer team, and a sniper team. ”

"No problem." Li Baicheng and Wei Zhigao, Chen Zhengxin agreed.

The next step is to move.

Moving the Centipede Mountain base to Wolf's Nest Mountain in Fengyang is an invincible plan, far away from Jinpu Road, to establish a relatively stable rear base. But it was categorically denied by Xu Ping, Xu Ping was in favor of moving to Wolf's Den Mountain, but he couldn't give up Centipede Mountain, he believed that he had to be close to the area infested by the Japanese army in order to have business, and left the Japanese army, who to rob? Kill whom? If you don't rob or kill, how can you feed yourself. Not only can you not give up Centipede Mountain, but you must also repair the road between Centipede Mountain and Wolf's Nest Mountain, it is ideal to be able to walk by car, and if you can't take a car, you must at least be able to walk a carriage, and transport the things you have grabbed in the area of Centipede Mountain to the base of Wolf's Nest Mountain, and then sell them to people who need these things.

Jiang Chunyang laughed at Xu Ping, a single widow, what is the use of thinking about so much money. Xu Ping said that the situation was more stable, and he considered going back home, marrying a wife, and implementing the land rewarded by the government to his two brothers, so that his wife could guard the land at home. Now that I'm not in the army, I'm no longer under control, and I can go back if I want to, which is very convenient.

Qin Jishi laughed and said that he is now a character in his hometown Lingui Wutong, he got the land allocated by the government, and he likes it so much that he can't wait to sleep in the field with the quilt in his arms every day, scolding the other brothers in the family all day long, let them also go out to gangster, and it is serious to mix more land and come back. His wife in Guilin has long returned to Wutong and built a new house, and his son has become a young master in the eyes of others. He is particularly envious of Xu Ping, how happy he is to be able to no longer mix in the army and concentrate on making money. Jiang Chunyang said that he was short-sighted, and he only knew how to get money and land to go home, and he didn't know that wearing a flower feather on his head was the real thing to glorify his ancestors. Qin Jishi shook his head and said to Jiang Chunyang, the name is false, the land is real, the Chinese pay the most attention to the land, with the land there is everything. Asked Jiang Chunyang if he knew why the Han people hated the Manchu government so much, Jiang Chunyang thought about it and shook his head, this proposition is too big, it's not that it can't be answered, it's that it takes too much time and energy to answer, and then asked what Qin Jishi is. Qin Jishi said very solemnly, it is the land, and the Manchus allocated the land of our Han nationality to Lao Maozi, so we hate him so much. Jiang Chunyang smiled dumbly, the answer was so simple. Gong Qingyuan didn't smile, and glanced at Qin Jishi, it was really impressive that this person who didn't care about politics could have such a simple, accurate and unique vision.

Mo Di saw that Qin Jishi's mind was really not in the army, and his military position had come to an end, it was difficult to rise further, he was not a regular professional background, Tang Ruru asked him to buy a fake diploma with money, and if he went up, he would not be able to withstand scrutiny. Mo Di discussed with Huang Tianhua and Jiang Chunyang for a while, and asked Qin Jishi to hang the post of deputy director of the Political Department of the 1056 Regiment and go to Wolf's Den Mountain to do business, and the logistics work of the 1056 Regiment was handed over to Zhang Kechang, the commander of the guard battalion, and as for the daily management of the guard battalion, it was handed over to Chen Zhengxin.

Zhang Kechang knew that he had taken charge of all the food, drink and Lazar of the whole regiment as the commander of the guard battalion, and thought that he had been reused, so he couldn't help but be happy, and he no longer had any opinions, and he also wrote to the old commander Ling Qianxi, saying that Mo Di Mo Deputy Brigade Commander Mo was benevolent and righteous, knew people well, and was a very good commander, and he would definitely get along with Mo Di's old battalion subordinates, become brothers who share life and death, and jointly run the troops well, and live up to Mo Di's trust in him.

After receiving a telegram of thanks from Guangxi from Ling Qianxi, Mo Di realized that he had inadvertently added another arm.

Zhang Kechang did have experience, he made the entire distance of Centipede Mountain and Wolf's Nest Mountain into three sections of 200 miles, set up two supply stations in the middle, and the heavy team of Centipede Mountain that did not enter the establishment moved all the things into the first supply station in Zhulongkou, and then the cars rented from various departments and places were sent to the second supply station in Xixianpu, and then the 1056 regiment helped move into Wolf's Nest Mountain.

The whole moving process lasted ten days, and the infirmary became the first unit to settle in, and the original baggage brigade was renamed the Logistics Department of the Eastern Anhui Volunteer Army, but Qin Jishi brought a small number of people over, and the large army also followed Xu Ping and Gong Qingyuan to stay in Centipede Mountain, and they firmly believed that as long as they followed Xu Ping, they could get materials and money.

After moving, the secret sentinel monitoring in the Shahe area reported that the railway had been put under martial law, and the Japanese army trains were heading for Mingguang one after another.

Liao Lei, commander of the 21st Group Army, said worriedly: The war is about to start again, but Xu Ping of Centipede Mountain laughed happily: Business is coming to the door again.
