After everyone put on their armbands, Liu Lang walked back to the special forces.
"Our independent regiment is still a new army, and all the combat units have not made any achievements, so Xiang Xiang and Liu Dazhu hope to improve the morale of their companies and name them after tigers and eagles. I rejected the idea of naming the company after the troops who have not experienced the battlefield.
How to determine whether you are a tiger roaring proudly on the earth or an eagle soaring in the nine heavens? Only victory can make the determination.
However, I made an exception. Because of your sweat and persistence over the past three months, I know you will bring victory. Therefore, the Special Forces Brigade was the only combat unit named Long Yan by me before the war against Japan.
, is your name.
We, the Chinese nation, are the descendants of the dragon. The roaring dragon's furious flames can melt the world and are the dragon's most powerful weapon. And you are the dragon's flames, the most powerful blade of our Chinese nation. You
, can you afford it?" Liu Lang pointed to the same armband on his shoulder, his voice was not loud, but it was loud.
"we can."
"Very good. Tomorrow is the first day of the New Year. Unfortunately, you can't spend this festival at the base. The Japanese invaders have begun to make moves. The Kwantung Army is about to invade our Great Wall. I need you to protect me during these two months.
Find out the enemy's real situation and marching route. In one month, our independent regiment will march northward to fight the Japanese invaders. The combat missions and equipment Chief of Staff Yu have already prepared for you.
When you go this time, you will face an enemy force of 100,000 people. Without supplies, you can only make decisions on the fly. I hope that one by one of you will stand in front of me in a month."
"Be loyal to your country and you will have no regrets even if you die." Sixteen special forces soldiers gave Liu Lang a military salute in unison.
Under the leadership of Ling Hong, we lined up and left without any delay.
Liu Lang stood at the highest outpost of the Independence Regiment base, silently watching the soldiers of the special brigade who had received enough individual equipment and wore civilian clothes disappear on the mountain road one after another.
Except for Shi Datou and Lu Shandong, who was injured during the training, the other fourteen special forces were all sent out by Liu Lang. No matter what method they used, they had to reach the Jehol front line 3,600 miles away within a month. Liu Lang
First-hand intelligence from the front lines is needed.
"Sir, are we too impatient? After all, they have not experienced the kind of special warfare experience you mentioned." Chi Dakui, who was standing next to Liu Lang, said with some worry.
Based on Chi Dakui's understanding of war, it was difficult for him to imagine sending out scouts more than a month in advance before the two armies faced off. It would be extremely difficult to make small moves beside a hundred thousand troops.
"Experience is always gained by fighting. Those who dare not fight will never have experience." Liu Lang did not look back, still looking at the distant mountains, shaking his head and saying in a deep voice.
"Deputy Chi Tuan" Liu Lang suddenly and rarely called out Chi Dakui's official position.
"Arrived." Chi Dakui stood upright with a snap.
When Liu Lang shouted this title, it meant that there was a military order and everything returned to the strict hierarchical relationship between superiors and subordinates.
"I order all combat troops to cancel all vacations after tomorrow and enter wartime status. The logistics department must complete three months of rations and ordnance and ammunition for our unit within half a month. In mid-January, our independent regiment will conduct field training. Specific details
The length of time is to be determined. Also, this military order is only known to lieutenants and above. As for the soldiers, let them have a happy New Year's Day first!"
"Yes." Chi Dakui accepted the military order without hesitation, turned around and left.
Liu Lang looked at Chi Dakui's back with satisfaction on his face.
Regardless of whether Liu Lang's military orders were reasonable or not, Chi Dakui always accepted them without hesitation, which Liu Lang admired most. If it were Chief of Staff Yu Xiancheng, he might have made circumstantial remarks on Liu Lang's seemingly confusing military orders.
After some advice, it will be freezing cold in the north half a month later. It will definitely not be a good idea to conduct any outdoor training there at that time. If the cold protection is not done well, the troops will suffer a large number of losses.
As for the name New Year's Day, it was Liu Lang's original name for the first day of the New Year. No one objected, and it was quite festive, wasn't it?
Of course, if the other officers of the Independent Regiment knew history like Liu Lang, I am afraid they would not have much objection to the so-called "field training" proposed by Liu Lang.
In fact, since May 15, 1932, a group of young soldiers in Japan launched a coup, killed Prime Minister Takeshi Inukai, formed the Saito Minoru cabinet, and established the direction of the regime with the purpose of the so-called "national defense system".
, the Japanese Kwantung Army decided to direct the war towards Rehe Province. China's top leaders already knew that the Battle of Rehe was inevitable, it was just a matter of sooner or later.
However, the bald principal still stubbornly adopted the policy of "reconciling the internal situation first before fighting against the outside world" and was busy mobilizing heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Red Army. Only Shaoshuai Zhang, who was the acting chairman of the Peking Branch of the Military Commission in the north at the time, had the support of Acting Executive Dean Song Ziwen.
The necessary defenses were deployed on the Great Wall defense line.
Since the summer of 1932, the Japanese invaders have continued to cause troubles in Shanhaiguan and at the junction of Liaoning and Rehe. In October, the first "Shanhaiguan Incident" occurred in which puppet Manchukuo police illegally entered Shanhaiguan City and clashed with Northeastern Army soldiers;
On the 8th, the second "Shanhaiguan Incident" occurred in which Japanese armored trains shelled Shanhaiguan.
The dark clouds of war continued to hang over the enemy until the first day of 1933. Liu Lang knew that in the past, it was on this late night that the Japanese Shanhaiguan garrison captain Ochiai Jinkuro sent people to throw grenades and fired several shots in the camp yard, but he failed.
The false accusation was made by the Chinese army. Using this as a reason, they proposed four conditions to China. After being rejected, the Japanese army began to attack the city on the morning of the 2nd, and the Battle of the Great Wall began.
However, it was only on February 17th that Muto Nobuyoshi officially issued the combat order to attack Rehe. In less than a month, by March 9th, the Japanese army arrived at Xifengkou, Rehe fell completely, and the curtain of the Great Wall opened, and the Chinese
Nearly 200,000 troops, more than 40,000 Japanese troops and 30,000 puppet troops, a total of 70,000 people, will engage in a desperate battle on both sides of this city wall built on the towering mountains to resist foreign invaders since the Qin Dynasty.
Liu Lang and his independent regiment only have 2,000 people, so being thrown into a battle of this scale is certainly not enough, and it is very likely that they will not be able to change the stubborn footprints of that bastard in history.
But Liu Lang believed that because of his unexpected visitor, the Japanese invaders would definitely spare as much blood as they should in this war, and it would be heartbreaking.
There will never be a staggering casualty ratio of 15 to 1 between the two armies in history.
It can be said that Liu Lang's strategic purpose at the Great Wall this time was very simple. Even if he could not change the general trend and win the final victory, he still had to let the Japanese invaders hold the crown of victory with tears and blood.
Liu Lang's crazy preparations for the past six months were just for this.
On the first day of the new year, the soldiers had a very happy time. Except for the necessary personnel on duty, the entire independent regiment had a day off. Hot pot with plenty of fat meat slices was open to the public. Even spirits that were rarely distributed were also prepared by the regiment.
of sufficient.
Fatty Tuanzuo led several big men in the group to almost every company, and even every class. Fatty Tuanzuo generously drank a small glass of wine. Although a glass of wine only cost three yuan, but it was all
How many classes are there in the group?
The largest "wine barrel" in the independent regiment is said to be unable to sustain such a drink. It is said that the drunk regimental commander was finally carried back to the regiment headquarters by four guards. The soldiers were amazed at the heroic heroism of the regimental commander, but they did not
People know what he said when he fell down drunk.
Only Ji Yanxue, who had been by his side, heard Liu Lang secretly murmuring at the moment when he fell down with his eyes wide open: "I will never let my brother down."
Ji Yanxue burst into tears.
She knew that maybe in a few months, many people here would never have the chance to hold a glass of wine again.
The independent regiment will go to the north to participate in the war.
