The roar of the military camp resounded throughout the world, and even the 800 officers and soldiers of the Xuemei Battalion standing in the queue were no longer as nervous as before.
They may encounter invincible enemies, but what does it matter? There are so many brothers beside them. They will live together, die together, cheer for victory together, and wait for death together.
Humans are such animals that follow the herd. As long as someone is not afraid, even a coward will become a warrior. Bravery and cowardice are actually contagious.
"Very good! Your determination is my determination. You also know the first military order I issued before coming here. I ordered the field hospital, from the guard platoon to the female doctors and nurses, to retreat to our 23rd Group Army station.
There is a saying that goes: In war, let women go away. Platoon Commander Mitchi will definitely be very unhappy when he hears this sentence, and will say that I discriminate against women, but I want to express my gratitude to all the female soldiers who left the military camp crying after receiving my military orders.
Tell the medical staff: I'm sorry, I can't take you to death this time." Liu Lang showed a trace of sadness on his face.
"I believe that they will be the same as the brothers standing here, not afraid of sacrifice, but I am afraid, I am afraid that their young and beautiful faces will pale in front of me, I am afraid that their flower-like lives will wither in front of my eyes, and I am even more afraid that they will fall.
into the hands of the Japanese invaders, I have to turn a blind eye with a hard heart, because any of my military orders is related to the lives of thousands of brothers. I may be able to turn a blind eye with a hard heart, but what about you? All of you ask yourselves
, can you do it?
No, 90% of you can't do it. Because, we are brothers, and they are our sisters. Not many people can do it and turn a blind eye when their sisters are insulted. So, I can only
Letting them leave is not to look down upon them, but because they are too important to us, so important that we may not even care about ourselves." Liu Lang's words were very straightforward.
It was so straightforward that even the dullest person understood what he meant. The disparity in strength between the enemy and us in this battle was so great that he had no confidence that he could protect the field hospital in the rear. In this battle, there was no front or rear, where the independent regiment was.
The ground is the front line.
"However, let me ask you, the sisters have left, we can have no worries, but if the brother is unfortunately injured and captured, what will you do?" Liu Lang suddenly asked a question.
"Regiment leader, since our army does not want prisoners of war, then, in this battle, our independent regiment will have no prisoners of war, whether they are the enemy or ourselves." Liu Dazhu replied resolutely. He suddenly stood at attention and turned to face his bayonet battalion, and shouted loudly:
"All Bayonet Battalion, take off your clothes."
The entire army watched with some confusion as the Bayonet Battalion, starting with Battalion Commander Liu Dazhu, unbuttoned their upper military uniforms until the black things hanging from their chests were revealed.
At that moment, everyone just felt a kind of heat surging in their chests.
No one can describe their emotions at that moment. They don't know whether it was caused by fear that made people tremble, or by surging blood.
All the officers and soldiers of the Bayonet Battalion, including Battalion Commander Liu Dazhu, actually hung a grenade around their necks and on their chests.
"Reporting to the regimental commander, this is the last weapon of all the officers and men of our bayonet battalion. However, it is not left to the enemy, but to ourselves." Liu Dazhu, with a grenade hanging around his neck, turned around and stood at attention solemnly, shouting loudly.
"You idiot, if you don't want to help me support my wife and children, don't use this trick!" Zhao Ergou muttered and cursed.
But only those who were very close to him could see the tears bursting from the corners of the eyes of this rugged Northeastern man, although he quickly wiped them away with the corners of his sleeves.
"Haha! Very good!" Liu Lang suddenly laughed loudly, his eyes sparkling with laughter. "I won't say much about this battle. I will only give you four words: "I am invincible."
As for the last few words, Liu Lang didn't need to say it, everyone naturally understood that it must be "there is no enemy but no self".
Liu Lang had already set the tone for this battle at the mobilization meeting. There was no luck. This battle was destined to be a battle to the death from the beginning.
Seeing that the entire army was still standing proudly, Liu Lang showed a trace of satisfaction on his face, "By the way, I have said so much bad news, so let me tell you good news. This time on the Songhu front line, the Japanese invaders have a reputation
The 9th Division of the Empire's Double Wall has such an awesome nickname, and its combat effectiveness is naturally not very strong. But I want to tell you that this is the 9th Division, and an infantry regiment under its command was killed three days ago.
The last few hundred people of the 36th Infantry Regiment, whose regiment flag and regiment leader were buried in the Sihang Warehouse, were also annihilated by our army early this morning. And the annihilation of their troops..."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Lang's mouth: "It's just a fraction of theirs. The Empire's double wall is so special, it's almost enough to call it the Empire's double pussy. By the way, we may encounter the Empire's double pussy when we land at Jinshanwei.
The other one is called the 18th Division, brothers, do you want to kill them?"
"Haha! Such an imperial couple must do it!" When encountering such a rude moment, how could we miss Battalion Commander Zhao?
"Fuck him, fuck them!"
...
The soldiers' laughter was even louder than the shouts of "Don't be afraid" just now.
Sure enough, after talking to these rude military men for a long time, it turned out that it was more effective to have sex with the empire. Liu Tuanzuo felt a little sad inexplicably, why are they all common people? Fortunately, I am wise, first of all
Drive away all the women, otherwise how can you guys get wives?
Of course Liu Tuanzuo would not know that he had missed a mother after all, no, it was a girl. His remarks were forced on a young reporter in the military camp through Liu Xueyuan's relationship with the People's Daily, although his face was red with embarrassment.
, but it was recorded verbatim.
Although this Yanda student, whose parents both died in the July 7 Incident a few months ago, is only a little girl under 20 years old, her deep-seated hatred made her mature quickly. Because her writing style is very good and she is extremely tough and reliable.
She was cited as the second Liu Xueyuan by People's Daily. After Liu Da's reporter went to Songhu, through Liu Xueyuan's connections, she was recruited to the Independent Regiment to become a war reporter accompanying the army.
The young reporter named Gu Xiaobai has not been able to cover any valuable news in the independent group in the past few days. How can he let Liu Tuanzuo wait until Liu Tuanzuo does pre-war mobilization? He has not recorded it word for word.
As a result, a manuscript about "the Sichuan Army's Expedition" was published. Of course, due to military confidentiality, this manuscript was not published until the day after the Independence Regiment participated in the Battle of Songjiang. Liu Tuanzuo, the "Empire's Double Force"
While the rhetoric spread across the country, it almost made Yoshizumi Ryosuke, who had already lost his face within the Japanese army, completely out of breath. By the way, it also made Ushijima Sada, the commander of the 18th Division who had just laughed at Yoshizumi Ryosuke.
Xiong Ye's face turned purple with anger, he was in trouble!
But at this moment, Liu Tuanzuo did not expect the psychological shadow he would cause to the "imperial twins". Amidst the roaring laughter of the audience, he waved his hand suddenly and said, "The whole army is on board, waiting for the order to move to the defense."
"
More than a hundred large trucks reinforced with steel plates were outside the camp, and the special transport vehicles of the independent regiment, Sanbengzi, were also lined up neatly.
All military supplies actually started being loaded onto trucks yesterday, and today it’s time to load people into them.
Liu Lang, who returned to the regiment headquarters, was sitting next to the telephone. Although there was not much emotion on his face, only Zhang Ruhao, who was very familiar with Liu Lang, knew that Liu Lang was in a hurry.
It's even a little boring that the heads of the Military Commission haven't made a final decision until this moment.
"Commander, how about calling the Military and Political Department and asking?" Zhang Ruhao tried to ease Liu Lang's extremely rare anxiety.
"It's useless to fight again. Now we can only wait." Liu Lang squinted and lit a cigarette. In the faint smoke, his thoughts returned to a few days ago.
...
"What? You want to go to the front line and also to Songjiang?" General He, who was sitting behind his desk, stood up from his chair in surprise, his face serious. "I don't know where you got the news that the Japanese army will increase in number."
It is possible to land troops at Songhu at Jinshanwei, but I can tell you responsibly that the withdrawal of troops from the Songhu front line will be a matter of time, and the withdrawal of troops from the front line may have already begun before your independent regiment reaches the front line."
"Commander Liu, what you should do now is not to ask the front line to cause trouble for the headquarters." General He's face became more and more serious. Perhaps because he felt that his tone was a little too harsh, his voice softened slightly: "What you should do now
, but we are waiting for the arrival of the main force of the 23rd Army, and we will cooperate with the main force and listen to the arrangements of the Military Committee. Your independent regiment will not be missing in the battle."
Seeing that Liu Lang didn't say a word but still stood upright, the top military figure sighed slightly and said: "I also know that Commander Liu and the Independent Regiment can fight, and I also know that if Jinshan Guards fails,
, Songshan will definitely become the most important front line to stop the enemy, but you have to know that once this happens, the whole army will be retreating, but the headquarters will send your troops to the front line alone. It is inappropriate!"
Regarding General He's concerns, Liu Lang was quite helpless. There are many factions in the government, and the relationships are intertwined. You are his direct descendant, and he is my backer. This dispute about whose people should be used and whose people should not be used has been a problem since the founding of the Republic of China.
It has never been broken. But the concerns about using Liu Lang and the Independent Group are probably not just the complicated mountain relationship.
Liu Lang knew that it was because of the leader's attitude towards the Sichuan Army and his ambitions for southwest China.
From the moment Liu Lang entered Sichuan, he was actually considered a member of the Sichuan Army faction. This was almost a deep imprint on him and the Independent Regiment. Even if the bald man wanted to win over him and gave him the title of the Zhongshan Independent Regiment,
It cannot be changed either.
At this time, the Sichuan Army was already at its best. The 22nd Army was in Shanxi, the 20th Army was in Songhu, and the 23rd Army had been ordered to garrison around Nanjing. It can be said that all the Sichuan Army was used on the edge, but the Sichuan Army
The supreme leader Liu Xiang was only given the vacant title of commander of the so-called seventh theater by the bald leader.
To put it bluntly, that person was very conflicted about the Sichuan Army. He wanted the Sichuan Army to provide money and personnel, but he also did not want them to become powerful. Especially, when the war continued to expand, the southwest surrounded by mountains would be China's last position.
Letting the two most elite units of the Sichuan Army, the Independence Regiment and the Sichuan Army Guard Regiment, go to the battlefield at the most critical moment. If someone with an intention provokes it, it will cause trouble for the leader's future plans in the southwest. Burying the elite of the Sichuan people in
In the southeastern battlefield, it is a trivial matter to have a disgraceful reputation for clearing the way for the Sichuan people to conquer the southwest. It would be a real trouble if it caused a backlash from the Sichuan people.
The leader's military ability may be unsatisfactory, but his vision is very far-sighted!
If you want to say that Liu Lang and the Independence Group volunteered to fight in such a dead place, someone would have to believe it!
However, as Liu Xiang, who was still ill, arrived in Nanjing one day ago and personally requested the military committee to fight, Liu Lang knew that the battle for the independent regiment was a foregone conclusion.
However, he still needs to wait for the final decision of the Military Commission. The 67th Army, which was transferred from the northern battlefield between Nanjing and Songhu, is also ready to go. If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Lang and the independent regiment can catch up with them in two days.
However, the military order was delayed, and even Liu Lang, who had learned to conceal his emotions, couldn't help but get a little angry.
