Even the dozen or so lieutenants left from the 29th Army, who had been nearly frightened by the excited officers of the Independent Regiment, now had their faces covered with excitement.
As the leader of a regiment, his prestige is so strong that he must carry out the orders of the entire army. Although it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the entire regiment, it is actually a double-edged sword. If the commander is not strong,
That would be a devastating disaster for the entire regiment's officers and soldiers.
But it is obvious that Liu Lang is not only that kind of genius commander, but also has a clear mind. He did not become hot-headed because of the temporary suppression he suffered. Instead, he quickly calmed down his restless subordinates.
Already.
As low-level officers, they certainly understand why these new colleagues are so excited. It is not just a matter of the regiment commander being suppressed. Now they are like melons on the vine. Liu Lang is suppressed by the higher-ups, and they are not much better.
Go, it will be even more difficult to go up.
However, they do not think that such Liu Lang will always be suppressed. As long as the war breaks out again, gold like Liu Lang that was forcibly hidden in the sand will definitely shine again. By then, no one can stop his light.
You must have a bright future working with such a superior.
What's more, there are benefits now. The army is about to expand, and the strength available to everyone present will naturally be enhanced accordingly.
Staying in the independent group was finally the right move.
Liu Lang actually saw the reactions of everyone in front of him one by one.
I feel quite satisfied.
Not to mention the officers of the former Independent Regiment, after more than half a year of training, including hundreds of veterans of the original 17th Army, the overall prototype of the Independent Regiment has been initially formed, and after the hammering of the Great Wall,
After beating, it was completely kneaded into a whole. If the independent dough before was just a rough lump, it is now a piece of fine iron.
Regardless of the fact that the current number of officers and soldiers in the Independent Regiment is only about 700, if it is brought to the battlefield, its combat effectiveness will be even stronger than that of the previous Independent Regiment, which had nearly 2,000 men.
The law of war that only the strong can survive the heavy artillery fire and hail of bullets is cruel, but it is a fact. Of the 500 veterans who had experienced the Songhu Battle, more than 300 people were able to return to their bases in one piece.
There are fully 2,200 new recruits, including the top men, and there are only this number who are still standing here intact.
The proportion of new recruits who died in battle was as high as 30%, and the proportion of injured soldiers was as high as 50%, while the proportion of veterans was only 10% and 20% respectively.
Liu Lang knew very well that no matter how good the training was, it was only on the training ground, and the battlefield was the final test. Only by passing this test could they be considered soldiers, elite soldiers. And now, he has such elite soldiers on hand.
2,000 people, if you add those who have returned from injury, an infantry regiment of 3,000 people can be formed in an instant. This is most of them, and they still need to be reintegrated. However, as long as the officers of the original 29th Army cooperate,
That time will be greatly shortened, and from this moment on, he will still have three or four years left.
Not only the soldiers, but also the old veterans and ruffian officers are now completely new in spirit. Of course, more importantly, they have been completely integrated into the independent regiment. From the moment they rolled up their sleeves and clamored to seek justice for their superiors,
, which means that they have completely stood on Liu Lang's boat, and they understand the principle of both prosperity and loss.
The dozen or so officers of the original 20th Army who were left behind are also very important. Tang Yongming still has some personal matters that he has to go back to the old army to handle. After the medals were awarded, he asked for leave and went to the 29th Army with Qi Guangyuan and the others.
The whole group has gone, and they don’t have a leader for the time being.
But Liu Lang not only needs deputy regimental commanders like Tang Yongming to stabilize the morale of the 1,300 former veterans of the 29th Army, but also senior officers who are familiar with the situation. As long as he captures the hearts of these people, Liu Lang can
The spirit of the Independent Group will be penetrated into their bones bit by bit faster, and they will completely become members of the Independent Group.
Obviously, it seems to be working pretty well now.
As long as he has such an elite force, Liu Lang will have the courage to challenge a Japanese brigade in a field battle.
"Okay, you have been promoted and can lead more troops. Now you should be satisfied! Don't hang around here anymore? Go and do what you have to do. By the way, pass on my order. The whole regiment has a five-day holiday. I'm at home.
Those who are within a hundred miles away can ask for leave from the battalion commander level to go home for a visit. They must return to the station after five days, otherwise they will be subject to military law. For those who cannot go home far away, they can go to Peiping in addition to arranging for the guards to divide into groups of three.
Take a walk around the city and explain to me whoever causes trouble for me in the city. The military law of the Independent Regiment is clearly written in it." Liu Lang waved his hand and issued an expulsion order, and by the way, he sent weapons to the garrison every day.
The 2,000-strong soldiers took a big vacation.
Because he, the highest officer, was not here, Chi Dakui did not dare to let out these energetic guys who had just gone through a brutal killing. They were all people who committed crimes just because they disagreed with each other. They would do anything in the city.
It would be a big trouble if anything happens.
During these ten idle days, more than 2,000 strong men were trapped in this small area, and they were tortured. Fights occurred almost every day, not just one-on-one, but almost all in groups.
The entire squad was brawling. But it was okay, everyone knew the seriousness and no one did anything. Even though Chi Dakui was punished by an angry Chi Dakui to run laps on the training ground, the gang of bruised and swollen guys still competed with each other. Let’s see who is the best.
Run twenty laps first.
In the end, the fight was not just for the sake of fighting, but for the sake of running, and the superiors at all levels were adding fuel to the fire. If that class or platoon lost the running, they would definitely be punished by their superiors to wash the urine bucket when they came back. Like Zhao Er
Because a platoon of the artillery company failed to win against the baggage company, this guy was so angry that he personally copied the guy and hit his brother, the baggage company commander, who was also a remnant soldier in Songhu, with a big blow on the forehead.
When he personally ran on the training ground and won the baggage company, Liu Lang, who happened to be rushing back to Peiping, heard about it and put him in solitary confinement for six hours.
It was only then that the energetic guys finally subdued themselves. The Bull Demon King’s reputation on the training ground was undeniable. Want to run? Is fifty laps enough? It will definitely keep you running for the whole day.
.
"Sir, is it a violation of military law to go to a brothel?" Zhao Ergou asked with a shy look while everyone was about to make a meal.
Although what everyone saw was full of obscenity, their ears perked up after all. This issue seemed to be very important!
Liu Lang bared his teeth and was about to say, "As long as your mother is not forced to take care of other people's business, do whatever you want." However, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Lieutenant Colonel Ji Yanxue's face, which didn't look very good.
He swallowed again. With a straight face, he said righteously: "As long as you don't use force, I don't care what happens to a bachelor, but if you have a family and a family, you must take care of your lower body for me, especially those like
You, Zhao Ergou, can only go to restaurants for me at most. Just get out of here."
"Sir, I'm a bachelor!" Zhao Ergou defended weakly.
"Don't think that I don't know if you go to the regiment field hospital every day. I have to watch over you for my future sister-in-law." Liu Lang snorted coldly.
I've long felt that something was wrong with this guy, and today I can finally take it out on him.
Amid everyone's laughter, Zhao Ergou's face turned green.
