The recruitment of new recruits there is also coming to an end.
Chen Yunfa used an almost cruel assessment to scare away most of the young people who wanted to become soldiers and get military pay. However, after lifting an 80-pound stone barbell ten times and being able to run three thousand feet in a quarter of an hour (the measurement standard of the Republic of China, one foot is
Now Liu Lang was slightly surprised by the 386 young people who survived the rigorous assessment.
No wonder that during the All-out Anti-Japanese War five years later, Sichuan Province alone sent 300,000 troops, including more than 3 million strong men. The large population base ensured the quality of the troops.
Rejecting his parents' proposal to select 20 more guards to join the army with him, Liu Lang only took away Sanchuan, who had been with him since childhood.
The reason is very simple. What Liu Lang wants to build is an elite army to protect his family and country, not a Liu family army. Even if one day Liu Lang is gone, this army can still continue to fight the Japanese invaders. They
Loyalty should not be to a certain person, but to this country and its people. This is the military spirit that an elite army should have.
Liu Lang, who traveled through time and space, understood very well that the military soul may seem illusory, but it really exists. An army without a military soul will often collapse at the first touch, while an army with it will often fight to the death.
Wang Mingzhang and his 3,000 men of the 122nd Division fought a bloody battle in Teng County. The entire army in Teng County was defeated and no one retreated. Hu Lian and his 11th Division clung to Shipai and fought a full three hours of bayonet hand-to-hand combat. No one retreated. As soon as the Republic was founded, they went north to fight with the American soldiers.
During the battle in the ice and snow, all the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company of the 117th Regiment of the Ninth Corps, wearing only single clothes, were frozen into ice sculptures in the low temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius in Changjin Lake in order not to expose the target, and no one retreated.
If you retreat, you will live, if you don't retreat, you will die. Such a simple choice, but they chose the latter because of the honor of the military and the protection of the military. This is the soul of the military, the soul of the military.
After bidding farewell to his parents, he took the new soldiers, technical workers, and the German genius doctor who was not completely sober. It took Liu Lang a full week to return to Guangyuan. At this time, half a month had passed since Liu Lang left.
Liu Wenhui was more decisive than Liu Lang imagined. The day after he finished talking with Liu Lang, he called the entire province and handed over all rights in Guangyuan, from security to administration, to the Independent Regiment of the Second Division of the National Revolutionary Army.
This move not only caused an uproar in Sichuan Province, but even the bald principal who was sitting in Nanjing was slightly surprised when he heard Liu Wenhui's move.
The Nanjing government has been coveting the Land of Abundance for a long time. Although the eight major warlords in Sichuan Province fought against each other as if they had the revenge of killing their father, if the Nanjing government showed its intention to march into Sichuan and completely bring the Kingdom of Abundance under its control, those gangs would
The guys instantly rallied together and became Pao Ge brothers to fight against the central government. Although the Sichuan army with hundreds of thousands of troops was poorly equipped, its naturally steep and difficult-to-defend but difficult-to-attack geographical environment and its huge population base made the Nanjing government like a dog facing the enemy.
The hedgehog's hunting dog can only show its teeth and scream in vain.
The reason why Liu Lang's independent regiment was able to garrison at the Northern Sichuan Gate of Sichuan Province was because of the special family background of Liu Lang, the leader of the independent regiment. If Liu Lang was not a member of the Liu family, the bald principal was sure that there would be no more than 1,500 troops.
, even a man with hundreds of numbers can make those big brothers in Sichuan furious.
However, what makes the bald principal feel gratified is that he has stationed an army in Sichuan, which reduces the embarrassment a little. Even if it is just a garrison, even if there are more than a thousand people, they will look like hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops in front of the behemoth.
A small ant can be swallowed clean at any time.
But now, Liu Wenhui, one of the largest warlords in Sichuan, has generously handed over the entire northern Sichuan province to the Independent Regiment. What does he want to do?
No one would think that Liu Lang would change his banner and take his troops to join the Sichuan Army. That would only be asking for death. Not to mention that the Sichuan Army could not protect him. Even if it could, no one would want to protect him. Some things are destined to be placed below the table.
, if it is really put on the table, it will completely tear the skin. This is the so-called politics.
Dirty, ugly, but always there.
The bald principal was still scratching his head, but the opposition in Sichuan Province was silenced by another big boss Liu Xiang's approval.
Liu Lang's identity as Liu Xiangtang's nephew and Liu Wenhui's grandnephew is no longer a secret. Since the two bosses of the Liu family agree, what will the other bosses who are far less powerful say, since the territory given to them is not theirs anyway? As long as
If you don't touch the fat in your hot pot, you can naturally do whatever you want. An independent group of one or two thousand people is not looked down upon by anyone.
The thoughts of the big bosses are not important to Liu Lang, but the enthusiasm of the local gangsters in Guangyuan City has increased. If it was mostly false flattery before, now it is almost licking their knees.
It may be just empty talk to be in charge of all affairs in Guangyuan by a civilian official, but after Liu Lang, who controls a thousand elite troops, can actually control the destiny of everyone in Guangyuan, including the county magistrate.
City Defense Commander Zhan Chengfang was secretly glad that he had kept an eye on it and did not report the exaggerated idea revealed by Liu Lang to the top. Otherwise, the day Liu Lang returned would be the day he left. Not to mention Liu Lang, who was in charge of Guangyuan.
To build a fortress is to build a palace. As long as he has money, no one will make irresponsible remarks, not even the central government.
This is a tragedy for the people, but it has created a lot of convenience for Liu Lang.
However, the arrival of this news greatly accelerated the construction of Liu Lang's base. When Liu Lang returned, with the efforts of tens of thousands of migrant workers, the temporary residence of the independent regiment was basically completed in only half a month.
It is completed. Although it is still quite far away from the military fortress planned by Liu Lang.
However, the soldiers who had been on the ground for more than ten days finally had a spacious and bright barracks.
According to Liu Lang's requirements, a dormitory can accommodate twelve soldiers from a combat squad, including the sergeant squad leader. Bunk beds are also used, completely abandoning the usual large bunks.
A group of grown men sleeping together in a big bed can certainly increase brotherhood, but the lingering smell of stinky feet is also close at hand, which is almost every recruit's nightmare. Maintaining good personal hygiene is also Liu Lang's key to independence.
The most basic requirements for all officers and soldiers of the regiment.
The recruitment of new soldiers in the Guangyuan area has also achieved fruitful results. Being able to receive fifteen yuan in cash and military pay every month can become a huge temptation in the city, let alone in a mountainous area like Guangyuan. After the same rigorous selection, it turned out that
There are 798 people left.
The Gou family from Tongguan also sent 500 Shaanxi recruits as promised. The total number of recruits was close to 1,700, which made the senior leaders of the independent regiment face the trouble of happiness.
How could an independent regiment with only 1,500 personnel absorb so many new recruits? Even if it had to give up the quota of more than 700 disabled veterans.
Liu Lang smiled slightly, what are 1,700 men? The Republic, which has only 2 million troops on paper, can organize more than 10 million regular troops within a week.
