Chapter 368 Rushing to the front line
The train slowly entered the station.
This is the first Sichuan army to enter the Shanghai battlefield:
20th Army 401st Brigade 802nd Regiment.
Leader Lin Xianghou.
When the Sichuan troops got off the train, even the most optimistic people couldn't help showing disappointment.
What kind of army is this?
The clothes were in tatters and the equipment was so poor that it was speechless.
Each soldier has two pieces of coarse cloth clothing, a pair of leggings, a single quilt, a small single mat, two pairs of straw sandals, and a bamboo hat.
A company of the 802nd Regiment has only eighty or ninety soldiers, one light machine gun and fifty or sixty rifles.
More than 80% of these rifles are "one-on-one" rifles made locally in Sichuan. According to the Sichuan Army's own statement, they are "just okay for hunting chickens and rabbits."
Some guns have been used for so long that the rifle cords have disappeared, and a few rifles have their handles tied with hemp rope to prevent them from being lost.
The grenades are all "twist grenades" made in Sichuan.
The only thing that made people feel a little imposing was that everyone was carrying a big knife on their back.
But planes are flying all over the sky and tanks are running everywhere. Are you going to fight the Japanese with these big knives?
It won't work, it won't work.
The crowd that was originally greeted with high expectations suddenly became disinterested.
Even the reporters seemed to be in no mood and just took a few photos as a matter of routine.
Lin Xianghou, the commander of the 802nd Regiment, is a colonel. He was born in Yang Sen's security brigade and is a direct descendant of Yang Sen.
This time the Sichuan Army came out of Sichuan to fight the war, Yang Sen's 20th Army was the vanguard. In the first battle, he brought out his own direct lineage. Although the Sichuan Army was poorly equipped, its determination to fight the war was strong, which can be seen.
"Report to the commander!"
A short but energetic colonel came over and said in thick Sichuan dialect: "The 802nd Regiment of the 401st Brigade arrived in Shanghai on time and has been assembled! Please give me a lecture from the commander!"
Lin Xianghou, leader of the 802nd Regiment!
"Brothers!" Yang Sen's voice sounded at Nanxiang Railway Station: "Chief Liu Xiang said that our Sichuan Army has fought a civil war for so many years, which is disgraceful. We are serving the country today, and we can't rest in peace!"
The beacon fire in the sky looks at each other in the distance, and the Japanese slaves are gnashing their teeth. They point out where the three armies should kill the enemy. The swords are as bright as snow and the moon is like frost. Brothers of the 802nd Regiment, the first shot of our Sichuan Army's resistance war will be fired by you! Prime Minister Lin!"
"arrive!"
"Set off!"
"Yes!" Lin Xianghou's voice was loud: "Regiment 802, let's go!"
"Xianghou Lin!"
"arrive!"
"Let me introduce you, this is Lieutenant Colonel Meng Shaoyuan." Yang Sen called Meng Shaoyuan over: "From now on, he will be the guide and battlefield advisor of the 802nd Regiment, and will fight side by side with you!"
"Yes! Thank you for your hard work, Brother Meng!"
"It's the duty of a soldier!" Meng Shaoyuan, who had just changed into a lieutenant colonel's uniform, said with a smile.
When Dai Li gave him this military uniform, he understood its meaning:
Do your best and fight to the end!
There are no military agents.
From the first minute he wears this military uniform and steps onto the battlefield, he must shoulder the responsibilities of a Chinese soldier!
"Lin Xianghou, please remember this." Yang Sen called Lin Xianghou aside and whispered: "Last year, the reason why the donations raised in Shanghai were able to reach Sichuan smoothly was largely due to Meng Shaoyuan's secret protection.
Although he is a guide and advisor, you must protect his safety. We Sichuan people, if anything happens to our benefactor, will be pointed at the spine and scolded, do you understand?"
"Understood, sir, even if I, Prime Minister Lin, are shattered to pieces, I will never let Meng Shaoyuan make the slightest mistake."
The 802nd Regiment had already set off. Lin Qingquan, who had witnessed all this, snorted coldly: "Brother Shi, look at it, look at it, this is just a bunch of beggar troops. Using such an army to fight the Japanese? Isn't that a joke?
?”
Before Shi Yifeng had time to speak, a loud military song suddenly sounded:
"A man rides the wind and travels thousands of miles, and it is best to die on the battlefield. How can he become famous before the country is humiliated? He carries his sword and goes to war. He fights against power, eliminates national traitors, sweeps away the atmosphere of desolation and conquers the Yu region. He goes in and out of the vast Great Wall, and the voice of heroes spreads across the land."
This is the military song of the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army!
The entire regiment's officers and soldiers sang in Sichuan dialect, which was so majestic.
As soon as the singing stopped, the troops at the front sang loudly again:
"The flag is fluttering, the horse is rustling, the gun is on the shoulder and the knife is on the waist, the blood is like a frenzy; the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and the head is thrown away if you want to survive. How can you not avenge the enemy? If you don't kill the enemy, you will hate it."
This is the song of the Sichuan Army Death Squadron!
"Commander Yang, farewell!" Meng Shaoyuan clasped his fists, his blood boiling all over.
He has always been a very calm person, but when he is in such an environment, even if he is cold-blooded, his blood will burn involuntarily.
"Meng Shaoyuan, my 802nd regiment, please!"
That song is still echoing over Nanxiang Railway Station for a long time...
…
"Mr. Dai, Meng Shaoyuan has already set off."
"Oh, I got it." Dai Li responded lightly: "I pulled all my favorite generals up, but you see, Lin Qingquan and others still have something to say. When the country is facing a national crisis, everyone should be united, but how can some people
They always like to make small moves behind their backs, and will they only be willing to do so if they have to destroy their country and exterminate their species?"
"Mr. Dai."
Dai Li's personal assistant Mao Renfeng said: "Lin Qingquan is a member of Wang Jingwei. At the beginning of the year, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Wang asked you to secretly arrest a few people for him, but you did not agree and made excuses to decline. So I am afraid that Mr. Wang has always been jealous.
.This time Lin Qingquan came here just to cause trouble for us. I'm afraid they won't give up until they achieve their goal."
"Of course I know this." Dai Li said coldly: "So, I asked Meng Shaoyuan to handle this matter. This man has many tricks. He can come up with a weird idea in the blink of an eye. Lin Qingquan has been sitting in the office for a long time. It won't be his.
Opponent. Moreover, the committee members are also very dissatisfied with some of Mr. Wang's actions. As long as Meng Shaoyuan doesn't cause a big mess, they are not afraid.
Also, Shi Yifeng was sent as the deputy leader this time. He is a close confidant of Minister Kong, so he will naturally take care of him. Originally, Shi Yifeng was wanted to be the leader, but Minister Kong took the initiative and asked Lin Qingquan to serve as the leader. Lin Qingquan also
You are so complacent, do you know why Minister Kong did this?"
"This regiment leader deserves it if he does his job well. If he doesn't do his job well, he will become the target of public criticism. If not, he will wear the hat of sabotaging the Anti-Japanese War. Everyone knows that Lin Qingquan is Mr. Wang's man. Lin Qingquan
If something happens, Mr. Wang's reputation will probably be damaged."
"That's exactly the truth." Dai Li sneered: "Not just any dog or cat can play in this big Shanghai, Lin Qingquan? He can't."
Mao Renfeng hesitated for a moment: "Lin Qingquan will definitely not be Meng Shaoyuan's opponent, but that Young Master Meng is now going to the front line with the 802nd Regiment. If the Sichuan Army's equipment is to complete its mission, it can only cost lives. I am very worried about Meng Shaoyuan.
His safety is in danger."
Dai Li fell silent.
This is also what worries him the most.
In order to let those in the observation group see that the spies were also fighting the war and bleeding their hearts out, he sent his most beloved generals to risk their lives.
But what if something really happened to Meng Shaoyuan?
This loss is too great.
However, Dai Li immediately said: "No, with the equipment and combat quality of the Sichuan Army, it is okay to fight against bandits, but it will collapse at the first touch against the Japanese. I think the 802nd Regiment is just showing off, firing two shots, and the Japanese
Come up and run away by yourself. In the past, when the two sides fought for the river, the battle was very lively, but in a battle, not many people died."
Mao Renfeng thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case: "It turns out that Mr. Dai has already thought everything through. That's right. The Sichuan Army is known as the Rabbit Army. When the guns are fired, they run all over the mountains and plains. They are not good at fighting, but they are definitely good at escaping.
"
Dai Li smiled.
Those Sichuan troops were just showing off on the battlefield, and Meng Shaoyuan just walked around the battlefield.
Chapter completed!
