A regiment of all-Japanese equipment, plus six Type 41 mountain guns and 10,000 rounds of artillery shells, actually made Liu Ruming very satisfied. With these equipment, the 29th Army can completely form another infantry regiment with strong combat effectiveness.
An artillery regiment.
In particular, the actual significance of establishing an artillery regiment is far greater than that of 1,300 elite infantry. Otherwise, the seven generals of the 29th Army would never agree to let Liu Lang abduct 1,300 veterans.
Go.
Of course, Liu Lang, who succeeded in not letting Liu Ruming sit on the ground and raise prices, is not a stingy person. A few years later, the 29th Army will fire the first shot at the Marco Polo Bridge against the Japanese invaders. To increase their strength, it will be for the whole of China.
Gain time.
Liu Lang got the advantage but did not behave well. He also gave the 29th Army 500 Type 38 rifles and 20 grenade launchers as gifts. Liu Ruming was almost moved to the point where he hugged Fatty Liu and took a bite. This guy insisted on
You can almost form an infantry battalion with more heads.
If he knew that Liu Lang still had thousands of Japanese rifles hidden in the cave of Qinglong Mountain, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so moved.
In the first battle, Luo Wenyu's independent regiment joined Qi Guangyuan and Dong Shengtang to annihilate the 4th Brigade and captured thousands of rifles. Later, he defeated the menacing 8th Division and captured a large amount again. Later, he simply defeated the 8th Division.
The equipment of nearly an infantry brigade in reserve has been emptied. Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s just talk about the tens of thousands of 38-gun guns. Not only are they not a rare item in Liu Lang’s place, they are almost as big as Chinese cabbage.
There is no difference.
Otherwise, with Liu Lang's stingy personality, he wouldn't have given two thousand as a favor here and two thousand there.
Although Liu Lang doesn't like Japanese equipment, it is a good thing for other army officers. If Liu Lang holds a Japanese equipment auction now, the big guys will definitely be able to grab the attention by waving the ocean.
However, Liu Lang is not a single owner now, he is also an army under the leadership of the Kuomintang. What he has captured is not much, and no one will say if it belongs to him. But if there is too much, it is impossible if you don't want to hand it over.
Therefore, Liu Lang simply sent the favor first, and combined with the favor he asked Chi Dakui to send before, he could stop most people's mouths anyway.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Liu Lang to even think about successfully transporting this vast equipment that could fit into two hundred carts back to Sichuan.
However, judging from the way Liu Ruming is now holding Liu Lang's shoulders, and the dignified major general is treating him like a brother, Liu Lang's favor is worth it. Not only did he successfully obtain 1,300 elite veterans, he also gained the friendship of the 29th Army.
.
However, Liu Lang still failed to give full play to his achievements.
We have veterans who have fought for the rest of their lives, but they are just soldiers. After Liu Lang finally recovered from his "illness" and returned to Peiping with Liu Ruming's transportation brigade, the commander of the 29th Army was the first to come to visit Liu Lang.
Song Zheyuan made Liu Lang a request that he couldn't refuse.
Soldiers can be given, but officers cannot be given. If the soldiers of the two regiments are replenished to Liu Lang's independent regiment, the original 288th and 289th regiments will only have numbers left. This will be difficult for the 20th Regiment, which has suffered heavy losses in the Battle of the Great Wall.
For the Ninth Army, it will undoubtedly be worse. If the two regiments are revoked by the Peking Military Commission because there are no soldiers, it will naturally be a great loss for the Twenty-ninth Army.
Thinking about it with his buttocks, Liu Lang knew that Lieutenant General Song was not an alarmist. The man in Nanjing could definitely do this. Weakening the strength of the disobedient generals and strengthening the Central Army was what he had been working hard to do. Even if
On the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War, this kind of drama of killing someone with a borrowed knife was often performed.
All the dignified lieutenant generals came to visit in person. Of course Liu Lang had to give him face. All officers above the rank of second lieutenant who are willing to return to the 29th Army can return at any time. Officers above the rank of captain are compulsory and must return to the original army.
Song Zheyuan also promised that within one month, the 288 and 289 regiments would be rebuilt, and the entire regiment's Japanese-style equipment would be equipped with one of the regiments.
At the same time, in view of the outstanding performance and great contributions of the officers and soldiers of the two regiments in this battle, all officers have been promoted to one rank. Those with more outstanding performance will be transferred to other combat units or reused. Especially the two regiment commanders Qi Guangyuan and Dong Shengtang
, Although Song Zheyuan was vague, looking at his beaming face, Liu Lang knew that their promotion would never be lost.
After all, in the past time and space, with the help of Luo Wenyu who originally belonged to them, they took off the hat of colonel commander and became a member of the core of the 29th Army.
However, Liu Lang's big step to make concessions, in addition to respecting the army that fired the first shot at the Japanese invaders, was more importantly to leave one person behind.
Tang Yongming, a person who has never stayed in Liu Lang's impression in historical time, but Liu Lang had a very good impression of him. The Independent Group also needs someone with such an overall view. When Liu Lang is not around, he
He is fully capable of taking command in Liu Lang's place.
The young Patriarch's talent did not lie in commanding the entire infantry regiment in battle. Liu Lang planned to expand the special forces brigade after he recovered from his injuries. The sixteen special forces performed extremely well in this battle and were qualified for the role of squad leader.
Yu Xiancheng is the first commander of this special brigade, which will be expanded to 150 people.
Chi Dakui fought bravely and was loyal to Liu Lang, but he was still a little lacking in adapting to situations. He might be able to lead an infantry battalion, but if he was to command a regiment, he would have to continue learning.
Of course, Chi Dakui's rights will never be weakened by the arrival of Tang Yongming, a newcomer. Chi Dakui's infantry battalion will become the most powerful fist of the independent regiment.
Song Zheyuan was actually very reluctant to let go of Tang Yongming. In his mind, Tang Yongming was the next commander of the regiment equipped with Japanese equipment. Unexpectedly, he would be intercepted by Liu Lang.
However, Liu Lang's willingness to not be sloppy finally made Lieutenant General Song reluctantly part with him and promised to be responsible for delivering the military order to transfer Tang Yongming to be the deputy of the independent regiment. After all, a lieutenant colonel is different from the big-headed soldiers, who are also in the north.
There are names on the Military Commission's list of officers who want to be transferred from the north to the south. These two people cannot just do whatever they want. They need to obtain transfer orders from the Northern Military Commission.
With Tang Yongming, Baiyun Yue Liu Lang, who served as the logistics chief of the Great Wall Regiment, could not open his mouth no matter how much he wanted to stay. In fact, before Liu Lang could speak, Song Zheyuan had already taken the initiative to extinguish Liu Lang's thoughts. Tang
With Yong Ming gone, Bai Yunyue had to go back, and one of the regiment chiefs was left for him.
Liu Lang had no choice but to put aside this thought for the time being. China is so big, and things will happen sooner or later, especially in a few years when the whole country becomes a pot of porridge.
It took a lieutenant general and a colonel a long time to discuss the people and materials.
Before Liu Lang even had time to see Boss He, who had long wanted to beat him with a stick from the Northern Military Commission, the commendation group from Nanjing had already arrived and ordered all the troops controlled by the Northern Military Commission to be lieutenant colonel or above and those with first-class military merit.
The above soldiers participated in the medal ceremony at the Peking Auditorium at 8 o'clock the next day.
As for the Independent Regiment and the 288th Regiment and 289th Regiment of the 29th Army, which made great contributions in the Battle of the Great Wall, all soldiers with lieutenant rank and above and second-class military merit or above will participate. Wounded soldiers can be taken care of by the superior officer.
You must know that the number of first- and second-class military meritorious service personnel reported by the three regiments, excluding those killed and injured, is as high as 470, accounting for almost a quarter of those still in the military camp.
This is the rhythm for everyone to be promoted to official positions!
The hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in northern China were jealous. But not many people were jealous.
The military exploits of these three regiments were accomplished by thousands of men and horses with swords and guns, and there is nothing fancy about them.
