Yang Ling defeated the Japanese Maruyama Brigade in the Battle of Minshan. Although it was a tragic victory, his brave and tenacious fighting style also won unanimous praise from the war zone commanders.
Therefore, when Yang Ling and others rushed to the military station at Wushimen, the person in charge of the military station was immediately in awe when they heard that Yang Ling and others were from the 74th Army, and hurriedly invited Yang Ling and others to rest in the military station.
"The superiors have already ordered that the new recruits this time should be given priority to your troops. But having said that, you guys fought really hard this time. I heard that you almost wiped out the entire Maruyama Brigade?"
Qin Shou also participated in the battle to attack the Maruyama Brigade. When he heard the praise from the person in charge of the military station, he naturally felt proud in his heart: "Although they were not completely wiped out, they were also disabled. It is a pity that the old boy Maruyama Masao escaped.
A pity.”
"I can run in the first year of junior high but not in the fifteenth. In my opinion, sooner or later you will have to deal with it." The person in charge of the military station sighed: "But I have a responsibility. Otherwise, I will go up with you with a gun.
Fighting the devils desperately."
Seeing the regretful look on the face of the person in charge of the military station, Yang Ling also said: "Although you and I are in different positions, we are all serving the country. Without your support in the rear, we probably wouldn't be able to fight like this on the front line.
We have great achievements, so you guys are also indispensable."
Hearing what Yang Ling said, the person in charge of the military station was also stunned. He did not expect Yang Ling to be so humble. What he said made him feel extremely comfortable and he said yes again and again.
With the help of the person in charge of the military station, Yang Ling successfully recruited more than 2,000 new soldiers who arrived at the front from the rear to add to the army. In addition, more than a dozen trucks were filled with weapons, ammunition and various supplies.
"We are strong again."
Battalion commanders Chen Ming and Lu Xing also took off their dirty and tattered military uniforms and put on brand new military uniforms, regaining their dignity as officers. They stood on the steps of the temporary regiment headquarters and looked at the new recruits lined up, but there was no trace of emotion on their faces.
Ding Dian is happy.
The Chinese army suffered heavy casualties in every bloody battle on the battlefield, but the war was always going on. The troops were beaten to pieces and reorganized. It has become a norm to pull them up, beat them to pieces and then regroup.
Since the formation of the 74th Army last year, they have lost count of how many times they have added new recruits to the unit. However, not long after each addition, the unit was exhausted again.
The original veterans have been replaced one after another. Looking at these new recruits who have been added to the army, they don't know how much they can survive after a bloody battle.
As officers, they watched their brothers die one after another. They felt deeply guilty and felt sorry for those brothers who sacrificed their lives. However, in the face of the fierce and fierce Japanese aggressors, they, officers with combat experience, had no choice but to
Instead of continuing to endure the inner torment, he led the recruits to the battlefield again.
For them, on the one hand, this is hatred of the country and family, and on the other hand, it is inner guilt. They are under great pressure, but the national conditions are such that they are helpless.
"My waist has been straightened, and my feet are firm! Look at how you stand crookedly. Put on these clothes, you are an honorable soldier, and you must be worthy of your status!"
In the open space outside the village where Yangling and his friends were temporarily stationed in Wushimen, more than two thousand newly recruited soldiers formed a team under the scolding of the veteran company platoon leaders.
After arriving at Wushimen, Yang Ling and the others held a regiment meeting, and overnight selected a group of squad leaders, platoon leaders and company commanders from the brothers who had returned from the battlefield, all of whom were veterans who had fought bravely.
Now, Yang Ling and the others are using the grassroots officers composed of these veterans as the skeleton to build up the troops again.
The grassroots officers promoted by these veterans have lived up to Yang Ling's expectations. They came off the cruel battlefield and are not only rich in combat experience, but also more pragmatic and treat the new recruits with an attitude of serving the battle.
The new recruits did not dare to make mistakes when faced with these ferocious-looking veterans, and were quickly trained to be obedient, and the messy team became orderly in an instant.
More than two thousand brothers stood solemnly in the muddy open space. The scene was silent, and the cold mountain wind blew by, adding a bit of solemnity to the atmosphere.
"Everyone - stand at attention!"
Qin Shou had been promoted to the rank of deputy of the third battalion. He stood in the wet mud, puffed out his cheeks and roared, his voice sonorous, powerful and penetrating.
The recruits who were closer just felt their eardrums buzzing, and when they saw Qin Shou's serious face full of scars, they subconsciously stood up to attention.
Qin Shou trotted down the steps and shouted loudly: "Sir, all the officers and soldiers of the 301st Regiment have gathered! Please give me instructions!"
Yang Ling looked serious and waved to him: "Enter the queue."
"Yes!" Qin Shou saluted with a military salute, turned around suddenly, and ran back to the queue.
Yang Ling's majestic eyes swept over these new soldiers who rushed to the battlefield with the heart of serving the country, and said loudly: "Everyone, take a break!"
Yang Ling's voice was not loud, but when he came down from the fighting battlefield, it was full of irresistible majesty. More than 2,000 officers and soldiers took a rest and stood upright, waiting for instructions.
"I am Yang Ling, deputy commander of the 301st Regiment. On behalf of all the officers and veterans of the 301st Regiment, I welcome all new recruits to join our regiment. I look forward to fighting side by side with you."
As soon as Yang Ling finished speaking, there was a slight commotion in the queue. They did not expect that the person standing in front of them was just a deputy leader.
"Why is he the deputy commander? Where is the commander?" A recruit whispered in confusion.
Some recruits sneered and said: "I'm afraid the regiment commander has already fled to a safe place in the rear..."
Just as the new recruits were buzzing and talking, the veteran officers standing in the queue couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly glared at them and yelled: "Shut up, everyone!"
"Our regiment fought against the Japs in Minshan a few days ago. Thousands of our brothers were sacrificed, and members of the regiment were seriously injured and evacuated. However! We also crippled the Japs Maruyama Brigade! Thousands of Japs were eliminated!"
Yang Ling's sonorous voice immediately made the recruits suddenly realize and cheer up.
"It turns out that Tuan Zuo was injured in the fight with the Japanese. That's great." The recruits were immediately in awe.
But some recruits are still skeptical: "Who knows whether it is a real injury or a fake one."
However, facing the murderous looks from the veterans, they immediately shut their mouths knowingly.
"The Japanese invaders are ferocious and the country is in ruins. Since you have chosen to become a soldier, you must shoulder the responsibility of protecting your home and country. Although you may not be as famous as General Yue Fei who served the country loyally, you must be worthy of the military uniform you are wearing.
Don’t let down the elders in your hometown!”
Hearing what Yang Ling said, the recruits couldn't help but straighten their backs. They found that they were also soldiers and no longer ordinary people farming.
"The Japs have already arrived at our door. We will soon join them and continue fighting with the Japs. I don't care where you come from, but when you come to our group, you have to follow the rules of our group. Next, we will start a period of
In this week’s pre-war training session, I hope you all can be energetic and go all out!”
"Did you hear that clearly?" Yang Ling looked at the unresponsive recruits and suddenly raised his voice and asked loudly.
"Listen clearly." The recruits replied sparsely.
Yang Ling was dissatisfied with the feeble answer. He took a step forward and said, "Have you not eaten yet? Answer me loudly. Do you hear me clearly?"
Facing Yang Ling's sharp, knife-like gaze, the recruits were suddenly shocked and shouted, "Listen clearly!"
"Bring them back to the platoon leaders of each company and start training according to the scheduled plan!" After hearing the loud reply, Yang Ling waved his hand to disband the troops.
The training time for Yang Ling and others was short. The troops in the Mahuiling area had already exchanged fire with the Japanese forwards, so they didn't say much nonsense and let the troops start training immediately.
Seeing the veteran officers taking their respective companies out for training, Yang Ling turned to the two battalion commanders and said: "The war is urgent. Whether the recruits can develop combat effectiveness depends on our short training. It mainly trains shooting, stabbing and stabbing."
Bomb dropping and other training can be postponed for a while, but you must pay close attention to the training of the troops, we don't have much time."
"Yes!" Both battalion commanders responded, and immediately turned around and ran towards their troops, preparing to watch the training in person.
