What Ye Chenghuan told Tang Dao was that someone gathered in the special training camp to make a noise!
The so-called special training camp refers to the prisoners of war transferred from the 17th Division. According to the rules of the Four Lines Regiment, new recruits have a two-month recruitment training period. Although those prisoners of war are veterans, they are not clear about the various regulations of the Four Lines Regiment, so there are
A certain period of special training.
As for the so-called gathering of people to make noise, it was just Ye Chenghuan using language skills to reduce the seriousness of the matter. To put it bluntly, it was gathering people to make trouble.
When the whole regiment has entered the war preparation period, the headquarters of the Four Lines Regiment can completely suppress it with arms, at least find the leader and kill them as a warning to others.
However, it was a bit embarrassing to come out like this when Shangguan Yun and others first arrived.
Tang Dao waved his hand and motioned for everyone to continue eating, while he and Ye Chenghuan walked outside to inquire about the situation carefully.
The number of people in the special training camp established by the Four Elements Regiment this time was not the 1,000 people Tang Dao had previously requested from the 17th Division, but a full 2,063 people.
Moreover, it is still an organic unit and is the special agent regiment of the original 39th Independent Brigade of the 29th Army.
It turned out that the prisoners of war assigned to the 17th Division were not the 4,000 they wanted, but more than 5,400, which was the entire independent 39th Brigade of the 29th Army.
Among them, there is the stingy old man's evil intentions in it. It can also be regarded as his small revenge on the 17th Division for holding Fujiwara Senoho captive and "taking credit for reward".
Moreover, due to the stingy old man's trick, all the school-level officers were included in the senior officer training team of the theater. The officers and soldiers assigned to the 17th Division were all low-level officers and soldiers. Not only did this increase the difficulty of management, the 17th Division also had to invest a lot of money.
Few senior military officers.
In short, the stingy old man can be said to have fully played the realm of "if you cause trouble for me, I will give you eye drops".
As for what happened to this entire infantry brigade, we have to start with the North China Anti-Japanese War that day.
After the July 7th Incident broke out, after a week of fighting, the 29th Army found that it would be surrounded by a large number of Japanese troops entering North China if it did not retreat, so it assigned two infantry brigades to Commander Zhang, then commander of the 38th Division and mayor of Pingbei City, to guard the area.
Beicheng started negotiations with the Japanese army, and the main force of the 29th Army retreated south. The Independent 39th Brigade was one of the two infantry brigades.
Later, the negotiations failed, and the Japanese army gathered heavy troops to capture Pingbei City. The well-equipped independent 39th Brigade faced three enemy divisions that were ten times the size of its own. It had no choice but to surrender with hatred. The entire brigade became prisoners of war, and its equipment was also destroyed.
None of them were captured by the Japanese army.
Faced with such a desperate situation, everyone was required to fight to the end, especially when it was not known that Japan was going to fully annex the entire China. Not everyone could do it.
Tang Dao had no way of knowing what those Chinese soldiers were thinking at that time, but he still believed that they were not all cowards.
Cowards will not stay at the end!
Therefore, during Saburo Okabe's negotiations, Tang Dao also specifically mentioned the independent 39th Brigade. The equipment he asked for were basically the equipment of the 39th Brigade. Saburo Okabe didn't have any tricks at all, and returned more than 30,000 yuan.
Among the prisoners of war, more than 5,500 of the original 6,000 officers and soldiers of the Independent 39th Brigade were returned to China, except for the hundreds who died in the prisoner-of-war camp and some officers and soldiers who defected and surrendered.
It is almost equivalent to an entire infantry brigade. It is naturally a trivial matter to place it in the second theater with 300,000 troops. Not to mention dividing it into various ministries, it is enough to form a separate brigade, but it will all be handed over to the 17th Division with less than 7,000 troops.
, that’s a little bad.
Humans are social animals. When in a strange environment, they will naturally choose to stick together. An infantry brigade with more than 5,000 people sticks together. What a terrifying force that is? Not to mention that the 17th Division needs time to digest, maybe one of them will be broken accidentally.
belly.
But what Commander Yan said on his face was very clear: In view of the fact that the 17th Division fought bravely against the enemy in the Niangziguan and Southeast Shanxi battles and suffered serious attrition, this allocation was specially made!
Moreover, Commander Yan actually sent an infantry regiment and equipment to the 17th Division. Anyone who says that what the Commander did is unethical would be judging a gentleman with a villain's heart!
Master Zhao also had troubles that he couldn't express. After much thought, he had to ask the Four Elements Group to help him digest it. Tang Dao was not in the group, so he found Lei Xiong and Ye Chenghuan.
What kind of army did Ye Chenghuan come from? There was always a shortage of soldiers, so why did he have so many? He immediately agreed and asked for the special agent group of the 39th Brigade.
The nature of the special agent regiment is actually somewhat similar to that of the special agent battalion of the Four Elements Regiment. It just consists of some technical arms such as cavalry, artillery, engineering, supply and medical supplies, communications, etc., plus a guard battalion. If it is really sent out to fight, its combat power may not be as good as
A true infantry battalion.
Of course, it cannot be said that Ye Chenghuan is too confident and wants to swallow such a huge force in one go. This is also determined by the current situation of the Four Lines Regiment.
Front-line infantry is easy to train. After two months of intensive training, a new recruit can go to the battlefield. If he survives a few battles, he can become a veteran.
But the training period for those technical soldiers is much longer. For example, the cavalry does not have a one-year training. Let alone kill the enemy on a galloping horse, whether they can sit firmly on the saddle is another matter.
Many arms of the Fourth Line Regiment are about to be re-equipped, such as the artillery battalion, many artillery and machine guns, and large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun equipment have been transported, but many of the backbone of the artillery battalion have been transferred away by the fire support companies of the infantry battalions.
The remaining personnel simply cannot use so much equipment.
It can be said that for the Four Lines Regiment at this time, this group of technical troops, even if it is not a help in times of need, can be said to be a lifeline.
As long as these "prisoners of war" soldiers can fight for the Four Lines Regiment with peace of mind, the combat capabilities of the Four Lines Regiment's cavalry, artillery, engineers, medical, communications and other arms will reach a new level.
For this group of prisoners of war, their surrender had left them humiliated. It was also a good thing to come to the Four Lines Regiment at this time and have the opportunity to fight the Japanese army and wash away their shame.
It can be said that it is also a win-win result.
But if both parties want to keep their ideas on the same level, it requires long-term getting along with each other, just like how a couple gets along.
Before arriving at the Fourth Line Regiment, the prisoners of war had already gone through two rounds of inspections, and dozens of suspected collaborators were identified. As a result, when they arrived at the Fourth Line Regiment, they all entered the newly established special training camp for special training.
The leader of the special training camp was naturally the director of the Political Department, Ye Chenghuan. His opinion was that various tactics can be learned on the training ground and on the battlefield, but ideological education must keep up.
After all, the Four Lines Regiment is not the 80th Army. Patriotic education and the various regulations and rules of the Four Lines Regiment are the main contents of study.
Before Tang Dao returned, this kind of learning had lasted for nearly a month.
After hearing this, Tang Dao basically understood the crux of the problem.
This would not be a problem for veterans of the 80th Army or the Fourth Army or even new recruits, but for these officers and soldiers who have served in the 29th Army for a long time, especially those who have been in a prisoner of war camp for a year
, as time went by, I began to have a resistance.
Having been hurt both physically and psychologically, they will have strong self-doubt and exclusive suspicion, and will think that the Four Elements Group looks down on them because they were once captured by the Japanese.
No, because Tang Dao returned with Shangguan Yun and others today, Ye Chenghuan, who was originally in charge of the special training camp, brought several lieutenants and captains to greet him. As a result, lunch was served later than usual, and he was already dissatisfied.
The officers and soldiers of the special training camp took advantage of this reason to gather together and chant slogans, hoping to have a dialogue with the supreme commander of the Fourth Army Regiment.
"Captain, I'm really sorry. I didn't do my job well. I can't let Battalion Commander Shangguan and the others see it and make fun of them as soon as they arrive. I'm going to the special training camp now. These guys are really lawless." Ye Chenghuan saw
Tang Dao's face was serious, his face could not help but blush slightly, and he took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"Old Ye, it's not a matter of who is right or wrong. In fact, many of your ideas are right. I and other officers and soldiers of the Sixings Regiment also agree. But for these old warlords who have suffered physically and mentally in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camps,
For the injured officers and soldiers, it may be a little radical. Of course, I also know that you knew that a big battle was coming soon, and you were anxious." Tang Dao shook his head and rejected Ye Chenghuan's apology.
But I also gave some sincere suggestions.
"Yeah! In the future, I will also adjust the training subjects according to the conditions and status of the officers and soldiers. Don't be too eager for success." Ye Chenghuan was very smart and immediately found his own problem from Tang Dao's words.
"Okay, don't they want to talk to me? Leave this matter to me." Tang Dao admired Ye Chenghuan's attitude of seeking truth from facts and correcting his mistakes when he made mistakes, and nodded.
"By the way, and what you just said about not letting Battalion Commander Shangguan Yun and the others see the joke, I think so! Since we are a family, don't just see the bright side. Sometimes it's good to expose some problems. If there are problems, we can solve them.
It's better to solve the problem than to have it happen on the battlefield, right?"
"Captain, you are right!" Ye Chenghuan looked at Tang Dao, who was several years younger than him, with admiration on his face.
At this moment, he finally understood why the brigade commander specifically found him before he took office and asked him to learn more from Tang Dao. The strength of Tang Dao lies not only in strategy and tactics, but also in mind and courage.
Unite all the forces that can be united to fight the war, never hesitate to contribute to friendly forces, and at the same time, are not afraid to expose one's own problems and shortcomings, and seek truth from facts. Aren't these qualities very similar to those of his old leader?
No wonder two people who are more than ten years apart can become sworn friends.
"Okay, you accompany the brothers who have just returned home to visit the artillery camp and the cavalry camp. I will find a few people to accompany me to the training camp. Hehe, it has been a long time since I used my mouth to educate people. My hands are itchy." Tang Dao
Smiling and clenching his fists, the joints made a slight crackling sound.
"Captain, don't move your fists!" Ye Chenghuan's head hurt a little.
Tang Tuanzuo is good at everything, but his violent gene is a bit serious.
The last time the reconnaissance company was training on the training ground, they happened to meet Tang Dao, and a few guys shouted for the regimental commander to give him some advice, but Tang Dao directly said that all 16 of them in a class would join.
The reconnaissance company were all carefully selected strong soldiers. When they heard about this and that, they were not enthusiastic, and sixteen young men swarmed forward.
The result can be imagined, Tang Tuanzuo showed great power, at the cost of swelling of his eye circles and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, he defeated sixteen elite soldiers with his bare hands, and four of them were knocked unconscious on the spot.
Tantai Mingyue, the commander of the medical company who received the injured, almost jumped up when he heard the cause of the injury. He searched all over the world for a certain member of the group who was "awesome" and wanted to question him if he thought the medical company had too many medicines.
, are the medical staff too busy?
It was only because Tang Tuan was smart that he told him in advance that he would go to several infantry battalions to inspect the fortifications and check the geographical survey of the old handsome man in Tantai. He would go there for two days, so as to avoid being caught by his fiancée.
Of course, many people suspected that Tang Tuanzuo was afraid that he would be found to have a black eye socket, which would make Captain Tantai Mingyue even more angry. Two days would be enough to reduce the swelling.
Especially the trick of talking to his father-in-law about work is simply brilliant. Anyway, his father-in-law doesn't feel bad when he sees the dark circles under his eyes, and can also act as a protective umbrella for him.
A truly “good” husband!
...
Tang Dao also brought Shangguan Yun, Cai Yongguan, and Lao Bapan, who was recovering from a serious injury. He didn't even bring a guard squad. The four of them rode horses and rushed to the special training camp five miles away from the regiment headquarters.
There is also a valley. Temporary barracks are built with military tents on part of the flat ground, and part of the flat ground is used as a training ground. At the mouth of the valley, simple fortifications are formed with sandbags and horse-proof trenches, and a fully armed infantry platoon is stationed.
In other areas, only mobile sentries were arranged, because outside the valley were mountains, and if they could really run out, that would be considered a skill.
This is not to say that the freedom of these transferred 39th Brigade officers and soldiers is restricted. They are completely free after completing the training subjects in the special training camp. They must fall asleep after the lights-out signal sounds. This is also a daily routine in the military camp. The daily meals are also according to the four rules.
The group's official standard ration is provided, and in order to enhance their nutrition, 2 taels of meat are added every day.
Normally, these officers and soldiers are honest and live and train in strict accordance with military regulations. However, something was different today. In front of the simple camp gate fortifications, at least five or six hundred people stood and raised their arms and shouted slogans. There were also a thousand
Others were watching from a short distance away.
The infantry platoon stationed in the garrison was a little nervous, and many people entered the fortification. The leading second lieutenant was still talking patiently to the leader who was shouting slogans.
The weather in August was already hot, but suddenly, the second lieutenant's face was covered with hot sweat.
Obviously, the commotion of these people who were about to become his comrades was beyond the second lieutenant's surprise. Although he was very sure that these people would not be bold enough to attack the security fortifications, as a member of the secret service camp, he also knew that
Once a quarrel breaks out, it will inevitably have an impact on the reputation of your immediate boss.
It would be best if I could appease him and control the incident to a minimum. I never thought that those people were like bastards eating weights - they were determined and would not let go.
At this moment, the rumble of horse hooves came from far away. The second lieutenant looked back and saw the familiar figure in the smoke and dust. He was surprised and then happy. He no longer cared about the people in front of him and trotted all the way to the camp gate.
He ordered sternly: "Move away the horses, everyone, stand at attention and salute!"
In the blink of an eye, four horses arrived from two hundred meters away, two horses in front and two horses behind.
Tang Dao was the first to jump off his horse, and then returned the salute to the officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment who saluted him. Then he threw the reins to the soldiers who came up to greet him, glanced at the front, and strode into the camp gate.
"The regimental commander has arrived!" the second lieutenant roared.
The officers and soldiers of the former 39th Independent Brigade who were still shouting slogans were stunned, their voices became much lower, and many of their raised hands lowered their hands.
Cai Yongguan and Lao Abacus arrived last. Although these two unlucky boys were not riding horses for the first time, they were pure infantrymen who could gallop at high speeds like Tang Dao and Shangguan Yun. They were basically both
I hugged the horse's neck to keep him from falling off.
Fortunately, it was only a few miles before the two of them made a fool of themselves.
"I will definitely seize a Japanese horse from now on and practice equestrian skills, otherwise it will be too embarrassing." Cai Yongguan realized his shame and then became brave, and secretly swore in his heart.
Lao Abacus had a grimace on his face. He had been following Tang Dao for a long time, so how could he not know what Tang Tuanzuo meant? In the future, I should gamble less and practice more life-saving work, otherwise the ball might really die next time.
Although Tang Dao occasionally talks about the love of family and country to inspire people, these life-saving concepts are permeated in daily life.
Just like the last time he 'beat up' the guys in the reconnaissance company by himself, he was just telling them that you are very strong, but there are many people in the world who are stronger than you, so continue to train me to death, otherwise
He will die in the hands of the enemy and die on the battlefield.
It is said that after that time, the reconnaissance company, under the leadership of deputy company commander Heizi, increased the intensity of combat training by at least 30%, training a group of elite soldiers until they wanted to cry.
Tang Dao stood in front of the hundreds of people making trouble, standing upright, with his hands behind his back, his eyes calm and calm, until the sound of chanting slogans became completely silent.
"I am Tang Dao, now the leader of the Four Elements Regiment. Don't you want to talk to me? I'm here, come with a few representatives and tell me what is going on with you!" Tang Dao waited for Shangguan.
Yun and others stood behind him and then asked.
The crowd opposite fell silent for a while, and no one spoke.
After waiting for half a minute, seeing that no one dared to speak, Tang Dao's eyes welled up with disdain: "I originally thought that the independent 39th brigade of the 29th Army would be a strong force, and joining our Four Lines Regiment would enhance our regiment's strength. I was still very worried.
I'm so happy. I never thought that they were a bunch of cowards. They said they wanted to talk to me, but when I came, I didn't even dare to fart. What kind of bullshit are you? You're not a bad guy."
One sentence made all the officers and soldiers on the opposite side look angry.
This is obviously different from the picture they imagined.
What they originally thought was that with so many of them gathered, no matter who they were, they would be as patient and comforting as the second lieutenant.
After all, they are a special agent group. If more than 2,000 people form a group, unless the Four Lines Group engages in armed suppression, they will not die in the hands of the Japanese, but in the hands of their own people. If this news spreads, it will be extremely bad.
, everyone has to weigh the consequences.
As a result, the tough commander they had heard about since arriving in the war zone came, but when he opened his mouth, he completely damaged them. What the hell is the word "Jinfu"? It was simply damaging.
It’s deep in your bones, okay!

Ps: Tomorrow is Labor Day, May 1st. My parents made a request today and asked Fengyue to take them around. As a son, I am busy with work on weekdays and rarely have time to accompany them. I feel really guilty, so I decided to take them around tomorrow.
Working people also take a day off to exercise their responsibilities as sons of man and spend time with their parents and family. I hope you will understand.
I also took a day off from the new sci-fi book "I Can Bury All Things". The update of two books every day really exhausted Feng Yue. I hope book friends will continue to support Feng Yue! I wish everyone a happy May Day holiday!
This chapter has been completed!
