"Uncle Shi, I, Liu Lang, have no objections to giving the gift to the three generals who sacrificed their lives for the country. Even if the government does not give it, I will place my medal on their memorial tablets to show our respect for the living.
." A look of anger that Wang Shihe wanted to see emerged on Liu Lang's face, "But I am not willing to accept it. Our achievements in winning the bloody battle have been inexplicably reduced.
A tribute to the tens of thousands of soldiers of the 129th Division and our 22nd Army Independent Regiment who sacrificed their lives."
Although Wang Shihe comforted him with gentle words, Liu Lang still showed an extremely angry expression. Of course, the title "Uncle Shi" indicated that Liu Lang did not direct his anger at the head of the guard, but mainly pointed the finger at him.
Targeting other senior officials who have not contributed much.
"Haha, my dear nephew, please be patient. The whole country is aware of the bravery of the troops on the eastern Shanxi front, and they have won a great victory. How can the Military Commission treat a meritorious minister so poorly? To tell you the truth, this time you will go to Wuhan with me on a special plane.
After visiting Commander Liu, we will fly to Nanjing, and the principal will see you in person. Are you still afraid that you will not be rewarded for your merits?" Wang Shihe shouted out when he saw Uncle Liu Lang, so he naturally took the relationship a step further and said with a chuckle. "
If you have any difficulties in the independent regiment now, whether it is equipment or military supplies, whatever you ask for, I will help you and agree to it. When you arrive in Nanjing, it will be allocated separately by the Military Commission."
This bait was really thrown out big enough. The anger on Liu Lang's face lessened slightly and he looked at Wang Shihe attentively, "Our independent regiment collected nearly a thousand defeated troops from the north on the front line of eastern Shanxi because they were unwilling to go home and wanted to follow our army.
Southeast and the Japanese invaders fight to avenge their shame..."
Since Wang Shihe opened his mouth like this, Liu Tuanzuo naturally did not hide it. No matter how big the bait was, he would swallow it in one gulp first. If he had the ability, he would strangle him to death.
"Yes!" Wang Shihe agreed without hesitation. "A thousand soldiers are determined to avenge defeat and serve the country with fists and fists. We will take it as our own responsibility. What is the name of this army?"
"They call themselves the avenging camp!"
"Okay, then call the 22nd Army Independent Regiment the Shame Camp. After I return to Nanjing, I will help you report to the Ministry of Military Affairs for registration. I will allocate all the equipment and military pay before your army enters the battlefield." Wang Shihe said.
"Also, our independent regiment suffered more than 1,000 casualties on the eastern Shanxi front this time. I hope that we can complete the supplement before going to Songhu, and there will be compensation for casualties..." Liu Lang added.
"Yes, tonight, the Jindong Theater Command will receive a telegram from the 2nd Theater Command. The 22nd Army Independent Regiment has the priority to replenish the vacancies. You must ensure that your department completes the replenishment before tomorrow evening. Allowances for casualty officers and soldiers,
When we get to Nanjing, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs will issue a unified report! I will come to help you fight in person, so you can relax." After hearing Liu Lang's request again, Wang Shihe's lips curved up with a smile.
He nodded and agreed.
The battle report clearly stated that the Independent Regiment suffered 500 casualties, but Liu Lang reported 1,000 casualties in front of him without any scruples. What does this mean? This shows that Liu Lang wanted to benefit from it! If it had been anyone else, in this national crisis,
At a time when the country is in dire straits and the country is in dire straits, he, the principal's most considerate butler, doesn't take out a gun and shoot him. That's because he has good manners.
But this person was replaced by Liu Lang, but it was completely different. This shows that Liu Lang regarded him as one of his own, and even Tan Mo was so upright, wasn't he? Until this time, his "uncle" was really a bit
It feels like Uncle Shi!
Being greedy for money is not scary, the important thing is that he can fight and fight hard. Guard Captain Wang knows very well what the leader is thinking at this moment. What does the pension of a few hundred people count?
However, this veteran who has been in the officialdom for more than ten or twenty years still underestimated Liu Lang after all. When did Liu Tuhao ever love money?
Only at this moment did Liu Lang completely smile.
As the saying goes, "If you lose something, you will gain something." Actually, it was not a big deal for him that the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun became the Order of the Baoding. The key was that it was an unexpected surprise that the issue of the establishment of the Exorcist Battalion was solved so easily.
The equipment, military supplies and even military pay of the newly established Shameless Battalion are naturally not the biggest problems. As early as when Shimen took in 5,000 prisoners of war, Liu Lang had already decided to establish a new battalion based on these northern veterans and transfer the infantry directly under the independent regiment.
Expanded to five infantry battalions.
In fact, Liu Lang not only established the new Shame Battalion with more than 800 people, including 4 infantry companies and a machine gun company, but also quietly transferred the death battalion, bayonet battalion, and rock battalion to the original two infantry companies, a directly subordinate infantry platoon, and
The firepower platoon's establishment was expanded to 491 people.
The three small infantry battalions that were originally intended to meet the government's strength of 3,000 men were transformed into three infantry companies and one machine gun company. Each battalion expanded to nearly 300 men, which was basically the same number as the strongest battalion before.
The strongest battalion of the independent regiment added an infantry company to the original three infantry companies. In line with the "three-four" system Liu Lang recommended to the red troops, the two firepower platoons were merged.
Add one to become a machine gun battery
The soldiers were all supplemented from the four infantry companies of the Blue Army accompanying the army and the 500 additional northern officers and soldiers. Nearly 100 officers and soldiers of the original independent regiment who were slightly injured also returned to the army.
After Liu Lang gave the order to the Guangyuan Base of the Independent Regiment, Chi Dakui ordered a young man battalion of more than 700 people as a reserve force, holding the telegrams from the commander of the 23rd Group Army and the Commander-in-Chief of the Seventh Theater Liu Xiang, from Guangyuan.
Set off, carrying a large amount of various equipment to supplement the expansion of the independent regiment, rushing from Rongcheng to the mountain city, and then headed down the river to Wuhan.
Not only will all infantry battalions be expanded, Liu Lang will also have to fill up the quota of 1,000 strong men. In Liu Lang's plan, the strength of the independent regiment that will go to the Songhu battlefield will reach 5,500, which is basically the same as an infantry brigade. Otherwise,
, Liu Lang was not confident that he would be able to bring back many of his brothers after fighting hard on the meat grinder-like battlefield of Songhu.
After Songhu, there is still Nanjing. Liu Lang will never forget Nanjing in his past and present lives. No matter what, Liu Lang will fight for hundreds of thousands of innocent souls.
Although this is the end of the battle in Songhu, facing the Japanese army, which often consists of brigades and divisions, Liu Lang's infantry strength of only 3,000 people, including four infantry battalions and four blue army squadrons, is really a bit overwhelming.
Overstretched.
There are plains there and there are no mountains. The independent regiments can no longer engage in defensive battles with the Japanese army like the Great Wall and Jiuguan with relatively complete fortifications and light firepower that exceeds the Japanese infantry. Both sides have to dig trenches that will be filled with water.
During the field battle on the Shanghai Plain, there were Japanese aircraft and bombs overhead, as well as the Japanese 105 and 150 howitzers, which far exceeded the Chinese firepower. You might even encounter a 200mm ship that turned hundreds of square meters into powder with one shot.
gun.
It is easy to expand the army during wartime. If Liu Lang wanted to, he could even transfer 5,000 more combatable troops from Guangyuan. However, after the war, Liu Lang and the senior leaders of the Independent Regiment, including Zhang Ruhao sent by the government, had to go to Damei. The state-owned
According to national laws and family rules, if everyone expands the establishment at will and gives you a regiment and you act as a division, then why do you need the boss?
Now it is just right. With Wang Shihe's guarantee, whoever dares to find fault with Liu Lang's unauthorized expansion of the army without approval from the Ministry of Military Affairs should go to the Chairman's bodyguard.
"Liu Lang will never forget Uncle Shi's help." Liu Lang gave Wang Shihe a military salute, but did not mention compensation for the 17th Division and the 129th Division.
There are some things that being too concerned about can only make things worse than a dog.
Sure enough, Wang Shihe was even more satisfied when he saw that Liu Lang only expressed his gratitude to him for expanding the establishment of the first battalion and for falsely reporting 500 casualties, but did not say anything about compensation for the two major generals and brigade commanders of the 17th Division and the 129th Division.
He gently patted Liu Lang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Sit down, it's just you and me, there's no need to be so formal. The military committee of Brigadier Chen of the 129th Division and Brigadier Geng of the 17th Division also provided compensation. After this battle, they
The losses of the troops were also heavy, so the Military Commission specially approved an ocean allowance of 50,000 yuan for each of the two troops." Seeing that Liu Lang didn't speak, he changed the topic and said, "Of course, if you have any other requests, tell them. After returning to Nanjing,
I will report to the principal personally."
The latter sentence is naturally polite, and the previous sentence is just to tell Liu Lang: Look, Uncle Shi treats you well! The compensation for the two major generals is only 50,000 oceans each, but for you, a young colonel, it is a struggle.
In addition to providing compensation for 1,000 casualties, an infantry battalion was also specially approved.
"With this, Liu Lang is already very satisfied." Of course Liu Lang would not push for an extra mile without being sensible.
The previous behavior of being a little reckless was a normal reaction after losing the medal. Now people say that it is so clear that if you continue to push forward with your mouth wide open, you are stupid and do not know how to advance or retreat.
After bidding farewell to Wang Shihe, Liu Lang went straight to the 18th Army Office.
Wang Shihe, who was sitting in the living room, heard his subordinates reporting in low voices, but he smiled lightly and did not make any comments.
This was the Liu Lang he knew. He was young, hot-blooded and loyal. Although he was a little cunning, he did not have enough political wisdom. Based on his experience fighting alongside Major General Chen, one of the three heroes of Huangpu in the 129th Division and 386th Brigade, on the eastern Shanxi front line.
Friendship, it would be weird if Liu Lang came out from here and still couldn't bear to inform him that the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal was gone.
I hope that Major General Chen won't be so ignorant after hearing Liu Langchuan's compensation of 50,000 yuan, otherwise the award ceremony tomorrow morning will be a bit embarrassing.
When he thought that the principal specifically named Major General Chen, who was once his favorite disciple, in the secret message in the evening, he couldn't help but feel a little envious. He joined the red lineup, but he still got that person who valued him so much. Looking at it,
There is really only one person in the world, and even his nephew may not be as far away!
You must know that a few years ago, the reason why that person was able to escape the catastrophe was that although several insiders never revealed the truth, he knew that if the leader had not turned a blind eye, I am afraid that the prison of the country would not have been that easy.
You can take it off!
However, Major General Wang underestimated the classmate from the first batch of Huangpu who had a similar title to him.
"Haha! I didn't expect that a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal can be worth 50,000 oceans. It's worth it." The future general laughed loudly when he heard Liu Lang's message. "Brother, why don't you help me pass it on to my classmate?"
Well, I don’t want the Baoding Medal anymore. It doesn’t take 50,000 yuan, but 30,000 yuan. You don’t know, our Eighteenth Army is so poor!”
