Chapter 1318 Fatty Liu, it's really not a fuel-efficient lamp
"Haha! Okay, don't think too much about it. When I join the army, I don't want to shine for the glory of my ancestors. I don't want the devils to occupy my country and smash my ancestors' spiritual tablets. It's just a military rank and it's not worth showing off." Liu Lang waved his hand. , "It's just that I can't be a brave and foolhardy person, so I have to be wary of the treacherous people in the country."
"I came to Wuhan this time, firstly, to visit Commander Liu, and secondly, to meet with all the brothers. Now it seems that you are very eager to fight, and I, Liu Lang, am very pleased." Liu Lang said as he said While standing up slowly, he pressed his hand lightly on the edge of the table, and his voice gradually deepened: "Commander Liu, commander of the 7th Theater Command and Commander of the 23rd Group Army, Yu Ling: The 23rd Group Army Garrison Regiment will be at my disposal on the front line at any time. This battle , everyone, are you ready?"
"Everyone in our 23rd Group Army Garrison Regiment would like to listen to the military orders of Deputy Chief of Staff Liu!" Tang Yongming first stood up and saluted.
"I obey your commander's orders!" The other officers present in the garrison stood at attention and saluted solemnly.
...
Now that Liu Lang had the attitude he needed, he naturally stopped talking about military affairs and talked more about household matters.
However, he was still a soldier after all, so as he exchanged glasses, he turned the banquet into a "strategy and tactics" meeting. Liu Lang had no choice but to recount in detail the strategies and tactics of the First Battle of Jindong and some of the performance of the Japanese army.
After Liu Lang finished speaking as the commander, the officers were not satisfied and even pulled Chen Yunfa and Zeng Shui, who were sitting at the banquet, to ask them about the role of the special forces of the special operations brigade in the Shanxi East War.
Although the ranks of the two special forces are not high, the officers of the Garrison Regiment dare to ignore the Independent Regiment and even the most elite army among the thousands of people in the two regiments. Especially since all the establishment and equipment of the Garrison Regiment are modeled after the Independent Regiment. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the second independent regiment, but it lacks the establishment of a special operations brigade.
It's not that Liu Lang was afraid that the guard regiment would be too powerful to surpass the independent regiment, but that he had no choice but to spend nearly five years selecting and training from thousands of veterans and tens of thousands of young men before the independent regiment cultivated More than 40 special forces formed seven special operations teams. Once they are assigned to the newly established guard regiment, it may not take a year to achieve combat effectiveness. It is better to stay in the independent regiment as a group that can be deployed at any time. Sheathed sharp knife for use.
Fortunately, Liu Lang made this decision. Otherwise, when Jindong fought against the Japanese 20th Division, one of the seven special operations teams that were completely spread out to all corners of the battlefield to serve as eyes and penetrate directly into the heart of the Japanese army would be missing. , the situation of the war may change.
Hearing the two special forces soldiers describe the combat missions and role played by the special operations team in the Shanxi East War, Tang Yongming showed envy on his face, but more worry in his eyes.
Over the past year or so, the Guard Corps has imitated the Independent Regiment and established its own reconnaissance brigade. Although the training models are all based on the "Special Training Outline" written by Liu Lang himself, and the instructors are rotated by several squad leaders, but after all, it is The lack of practical experience is what Tang Yongming is most worried about.
"Brother Yongming, don't worry! Not to mention that the scouts in your reconnaissance brigade are also veterans of many battles. Even new recruits will become veterans as soon as they go to the battlefield. No one will know that they are heroes without experiencing actual combat. You are still a coward." Liu Lang naturally saw Tang Yongming's worried expression and advised him.
"I'm not worried that they are cowards, I'm just worried that..." Tang Yongming hesitated.
"Haha, aren't you worried that poor reconnaissance will lead to too many casualties among the troops?" Liu Lang couldn't help but smile and said, although his tone was still gentle, his face gradually became solemn. "Brother Yongming, let's not mention that if you and our armies are on the same front line,
In combat, the information reconnoitred by our independent regiment's special operations brigade must be shared with your regiment. Your reconnaissance brigade itself is not a useless army. But if one day, when the battle situation is tragic, we lose these eyes, you and I will
How should the leader of an army make a decision? Shouldn't he stop fighting because he is afraid of casualties?"
Liu Lang's words naturally contained some criticism.
In fact, since the Independence Regiment became famous in the Great Wall Battle, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, including Tang Yongming and others, have gained the courage to fight against Japan and the pride of a strong army, but they have also quietly cherished the casualties of their soldiers.
rise.
As a general, it is a good thing to cherish the lives of the soldiers under your command. Soldiers are all small people. The one who dies is just a family crying. For the entire country and those big shots, it is just a number on the casualty report. But they are all
Living people, they should not just be a set of cold numbers.
However, too much is never enough. Cherishing life does not mean that you dare not sacrifice. At the critical moment, for the victory of the entire battlefield and for more people to survive, from generals to colonels, from colonels to soldiers, no one cannot sacrifice.
As a commander, you must have the courage to endure sacrifice, even if the entire company, entire battalion, or even the entire regiment and division are wiped out.
Victory does not rely on shouting slogans, nor does it rely solely on equipment and generous military pay. It relies on the courage to risk one's life and fight against the enemy. Behind any victory, flowers and cheers, there are bones and bones and rivers of blood.
General, tears streaming down his cheeks.
However, even if time could be turned back, the crying general would still have to make the same choice as before, if he was not stupid.
"Yes! Yongming knows his mistake. The officer is right. No matter whether it works or not, it is the mule or the horse that pulls them out first. The Japanese devils are just like birds. Didn't I beat them with the Hanyang model back then?" Tang Yongming.
He admitted his mistake very simply, but his words were full of pride.
After all, he is now also the commander of a regiment, not comparable to the chief of staff of a regiment in the past. He can admit his mistakes, but refuses to admit defeat. His words also showed Liu Lang that he would lead the security regiment to fight the Japanese army well.
Liu Lang did not have any dissatisfaction in his heart. Ever since he handed over the detached security regiment to Tang Yongming, he had no intention of turning the security regiment into a vassal of the independent regiment. Instead, it became another existence with combat effectiveness not inferior to that of the independent regiment. Tang Yongming
If Yongming didn't have such courage, then he would still regret letting him be the chief officer.
Sheep eat grass, wolves eat meat, Ultraman fights little monsters, and sheep lead a group of lions for a long time. Maybe the lions will learn to eat grass.
The meal lasted from ten o'clock in the evening until late at night. The two special forces were not allowed to drink because they were responsible for guarding Liu Lang. Liu Tuan fought seven to one, and the wine he drank was no less than the last celebration banquet in Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The more he drank, the brighter his eyes became, but the seven members of the security team couldn't stand it at first.
It's just that the toughness of soldiers is not only reflected on the battlefield, but also at the wine table. You can have a small amount of alcohol, but you must have enough courage. Even if you drink down, you can't surrender. This is almost all in China.
Army tradition, included in the future.
The reason is simple. For soldiers, wherever there is a challenge, it is a battlefield.
So, from Tang Yongming to the platoon leader Gou Da Shao Gou, who was the lowest in the military and was responsible for serving drinks, and the seven officers of the guard regiment, three and a half pairs of them were poured in the end. They were put on the car by the soldiers of the guard platoon who had already withdrawn, and they were all given away.
Went back to the station.
As for the details of when the troops would be sent out in the future and what the march route would be, when Liu Lang would leave Wuhan, and how he would rendezvous with the independent regiment, the officers of the garrison regiment never asked.
Because they knew that Liu Lang was able to land in Wuhan by air, and his whereabouts were a military secret. When Liu Lang came, he only had to inform them of two things. One was that he was going to the battlefield, and the other was that he would obey his military orders. These two points were enough.
However, we only need to wait for the military orders from the group army headquarters to issue orders such as troop march.
Liu Lang is sometimes domineering, but more often than not he is very disciplined, and so are they.
They didn't need to worry about Liu Lang's resting place. It had already been arranged by Wuhan Camp. No matter when he went, someone would arrange it. Not only were the accommodation conditions good, with soft beds and toilets, but there were also troops stationed outside, so safety was absolutely guaranteed.
Not a problem.
Naturally, when Liu Lang arrived at the resting place, a report was delivered to the desk in the backmost office of a quiet courtyard in Nanjing, which was lit by a desk lamp that was not too bright.
The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows wearing a uniform that was not worthy of his military rank heard that it was a secret report from Wuhan. He reached for it and read it quickly. He frowned slightly, weighed it for a moment, and then put this report among all the reports.
the bottom.
"Liu Lang went straight to the hospital to visit Liu Xiang after getting off the plane. The two had a secret conversation in Liu Xiang's nursing home for about 40 minutes. Since the guards in the building are all affiliated with the 23rd Army Guard Regiment, the Investigation Bureau placed among the doctors and nurses
None of the spies could get within thirty meters, and the content of the secret conversation was unknown. However, Liu Xiang's reaction at night was that he was in a happy mood and uncharacteristically ate two bowls of millet porridge, saying that he would go to the front line in person in the near future.
After the incident, Liu Lang met Fan Shaozeng, the nominal deputy commander of the 88th Army of the Sichuan Army, at the entrance of the hospital. The two drank tea in the teahouse for only five minutes. The content of the confidential conversation was unknown. Fan Shaozeng left quickly and boarded a passenger ship to the mountain city with his entourage an hour later.
He also refused to communicate with the people who came to contact him, and he had no intention of leaving.
Afterwards, Liu Lang gathered in many high-rise restaurants of the 23rd Army Guard Regiment. The surrounding area of the restaurant was heavily guarded and it was extremely difficult for investigators to get within 50 meters. The banquet lasted for several hours. The officers of the Guard Regiment participating in the banquet, from the commander Tang Yongming down, were all intoxicated.
He was very drunk, but Liu Lang acted as if nothing had happened, left the restaurant independently, and returned to Wuhan to arrange accommodation."
It has to be said that the agents of the Investigation Bureau were everywhere. They investigated all Liu Lang's whereabouts after he got off the camp director's car in Wuhan. Who he saw and did what he saw on that day was reported to Nanjing in detail.
This desk.
However, for Director Dai, whose military rank was only Army Major General but whose authority was astonishing, this report, which had no idea what Liu Lang had said, was useless.
It was perfectly normal for Liu Lang to go to see his sick uncle, meet his old subordinates and attend a banquet. Among them was Fan Shaozeng's surprise, although Director Dai also wanted to know what the two talked about that made Fatty Fan fall out with the Bureau of Investigation.
Fan Shaozeng no longer stays in Wuhan to monitor Liu Xiang, but although Fan Shaozeng has no real power now, he is not a soft persimmon. Even the Bureau of Investigation can only win over him and cannot violently confront him.
That fat man with a lot of money not only has many wives, but also many friends! Gu Zhutong, the deputy commander of the Third War Zone, is one of his friends. Although the commander is the deputy, the commander is the principal.
I did it myself!
Fatty Liu, you are really not a fuel-efficient lamp! He did so many things in one evening, but it still makes people feel normal. However, for this major general who likes to peek into his privacy, he wants to know what he likes to do.
What did the fat man talk about with Liu Xiang and his subordinates? Did he want to use his reputation to get promoted and expand the army, and finally replace Liu Xiang in commanding the Sichuan army?
That is the one who is most afraid of at the moment. The thorn-headed boss who finally watched the Sichuan Army is seriously ill, and if a young man who eats well and can kill several little devils by himself takes over, then the government wants to
Do we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to control the Kingdom of Abundance?
But those idiots couldn't eavesdrop!
Director Dai, who had a headache, thought about it and could only put the report that almost exclusively revealed that Fatty Liu was a wine barrel at the bottom. The boss almost didn't have time to read that position.
It's not that you didn't report it, you just didn't read it. Director Dai is also very good at fooling big bosses.
