In fact, if we talk about eating meat in the end, the Liu Lang Independent Regiment almost ate what a division could eat.
At least that's what the people in the Logistics Department of the Independent 200 Brigade thought. They bought a total of 70 fat pigs from nearby villages and towns, and killed more than 10,000 kilograms of meat in total to feed these guys.
A group of young men traveled hundreds of miles in just a few days. It's just a matter of the fatigue of traveling and traveling, and a whetted appetite! It really doesn't count. Most of the people in the independent group walked, and the bicycles were just changed for a while.
Lighten some of the burden.
Tell me, how much can those four to five thousand people eat?
Forget it, the stubbornness of the wounded soldiers holding the urns of their comrades forced the logistics officers of the 200th Brigade to kill two more fat pigs.
In front of each urn, the wounded soldiers placed a portion of their own pork sacrifice. Otherwise, the wounded soldiers would rather offer their share to their comrades who would never come to eat the sacrifice.
They faced difficulties together, and they achieved them. Now, they also share in blessings.
In fact, when more than 1,400 neatly arranged urns covered with white cloth were placed in the middle of the field, more than a thousand wounded soldiers with no arms, no legs, or no eyes placed the offerings respectfully.
When you sit in front of the brother you are protecting and eat meat, the scene is extremely shocking.
Whether it was a coffin or a wounded soldier, they all explained the tragedy of the Battle of the Great Wall to everyone with facts.
In the battle against the Japanese invaders, they achieved a shocking record, but 1,400 of them were killed and 1,500 became disabled. From then on, they could no longer carry a gun or even walk. The strength of nearly a full regiment was ruined.
This kind of situation is common in independent regiments. What's the point of eating with more than 1,000 brothers who died in battle? Didn't you see that when sleeping, there is a coffin next to the pillow of every wounded soldier?
But this scene really shocked the Jinsui Army dining on the other side from top to bottom.
"Company Commander Zhao, your independent regiment has about 2,000 people! What? There are so many brothers killed and wounded in battle, and you still have more than 2,000 people?" Duan, the commander of the artillery battalion of the Jinsui Army who came to drink with Zhao Ergou.
He picked up the cup and offered Zhao Ergou a toast, and then asked in confusion.
Now that Liu Lang has taken advantage of him, Comrade Li still showed the heroic spirit of the Shanxi people. Each company-level unit of the independent regiment sent an officer of the corresponding level to accompany him. The soldiers were not allowed to drink, but the officers were more or less still.
Some preferential treatment and a small amount of liquor are still available.
The person sent to accompany Zhao Ergou was the artillery battalion commander of the 200th Brigade. Even though he had a higher military rank, he really didn't dare to stand up to Zhao Ergou, who only had the rank of captain. It was really Zhao Ergou who liked him.
If you have nothing to do, take out his fourth-class Baoding Medal and rub it for a while.
Fourth-class Medal of the Cauldron! That is the highest level of the Medal of the Cauldron that a lieutenant can obtain. Although he is a major, the artillery battalion commander does not know if he has a chance to obtain a Medal of the Cauldron, even if it is the ninth level.
?
What's more, with this thing in hand, one day this little captain might be promoted to a major, lieutenant colonel or even a colonel. After drinking with Zhao Ergou for a long time, the artillery battalion commander realized that the man in front of him had become a lieutenant colonel last year.
At this time, he is just a big-headed soldier.
In one year, Zhao Ergou went from a big-headed soldier to a captain and company commander. The artillery battalion commander of the Jinsui Army suddenly felt that the six years he had spent in his promotion from second lieutenant to major were all lost to him.
Although it was not a good idea to inquire about someone's troop establishment, which was like inquiring into other people's secrets, the commander of the artillery battalion of the Shanxi-Sui Army was so shocked that he no longer cared so much.
In fact, this is not a secret. The fact that the Independent Regiment asked the 29th Army to recruit 1,300 troops from the 29th Army that was crazy about expanding its army, thus taking on the responsibility of more than 1,000 disabled and wounded soldiers in the 29th Army, is no longer a military secret in Peiping.
.
But almost everyone thinks that Liu Lang made a loss-making deal. More than 1,300 veterans of hundreds of battles are valuable, but how much will it cost to resettle more than 1,000 disabled and wounded soldiers? Even if each person is only given 50 yuan, it will cost nearly 100,000 yuan.
With the expenses of Da Yang, with these 100,000 Da Yang, no matter what kind of soldiers can't be recruited, even the new soldiers recruited can be fully equipped with equipment.
The artillery battalion commander of the Jinsui Army stared at the brigade headquarters for a long time, thinking almost the same as the generals in Peiping. He thought that the seemingly gentle fat colonel was stupid! But for some reason, he admired him. To be precise,
I admire him very much, even a little worshipful.
Replacing 1,300 veterans with the placement of more than 1,000 disabled and wounded soldiers would be a losing business, but with such a leader, you can feel at ease.
The artillery battalion commander also understood why this small independent regiment was able to shine in the Battle of the Great Wall. The regiment commander strategized and the soldiers sacrificed their lives. How could such an army not be terrifying? Including 2,500 strong men, 1,400 died in the battle.
people, 500 people were seriously injured, and the casualty rate was as high as 75%. If it were any unit of the Jinsui Army, it would have collapsed long ago.
"Brother, I admire you. Let's go." The artillery battalion commander took a sip of wine and gave Zhao Ergou a thumbs up.
In fact, an artillery major with such an idea is not worth it. Comrade Li, the most unlucky army elder in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, also looked at Liu Lang for a long time like a monster before finally spitting out a few words: "Captain Liu is so broad-minded that Li cannot match him."
.”
Lao Li is talking about ambition but not about money. In fact, the Jinsui Army does not lack money, but what they lack is the courage to take responsibility.
As I said before, although Lao Yan has various shortcomings, he is indeed good at economics. The geographical location of Shanxi is actually not good, with many poor mountains and rivers, but Shanxi merchants are famous in modern Chinese history.
According to business groups, Shanxi's economy was not only among the best in the country during the Republic of China, but more than ten years after the founding of the Republic, Shanxi's economy was still at the forefront. This is because Shanxi's foundation is well laid.
It's just that the generals of the Jinsui Army were also influenced by Shanxi merchants, and each had their own business. Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages, that is, they paid too much attention to money. In the past, the bald man from 35 years ago
At first, millions of dollars were allocated to Shanxi's national defense projects every year. As a result, the defense fortifications that Comrade Lao Li was stationed in turned out to be shoddy construction. The reasons for this are self-evident.
Having more money is a good thing. The Jinsui Army can become the only one in the country that can be self-sufficient in weapons. It was even able to gather hundreds of cannons to shoot at the Japanese artillery during the Battle of Xinkou. This is inseparable from money. However, when the all-out war comes,
At this time, money should only be used as a tool to serve the war, and cannot be used to satisfy greedy selfish desires. Otherwise, you will definitely be punished.
In fact, the 300,000 Jinsui Army in the past time and space paid a huge price for this. They were beaten to a pulp by one and a half divisions of Japanese invaders. Not only was the bald man so angry that he dropped his glass, I am afraid that even the Japanese almost
He thought he was possessed by Amaterasu.
This person can be regarded as a person of temperament. No wonder in the past time and space, he knew that he could not go to Taiyuan when he was defeated but still chose to believe in Lao Yan. As a result, he was arrested as soon as he got off the car. Liu Lang smiled, said nothing, and accompanied him.
Comrade Lao Li drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"Brother! What do you think of my brothers in the 68th Division?" After drinking, Lao Li obviously wanted to show off.
It is impossible not to show off. Maybe any army that can lower its artillery battalion to the brigade level has the capital to show off in China. Although the equipment of the Jinsui Army cannot be compared with the Japanese, in China, it is definitely considered
Okay. Shanxi can make cannons, guns, bullets, grenades and other ordnance by itself. This is something that no other warlord can achieve.
For example, in Sichuan where Liu Lang stayed, millions of Sichuan troops were sent out. In fact, just counting the people and not mentioning the equipment. If they could provide their own ordnance like Shanxi, the Japanese would have a headache.
Liu Lang thought about it seriously and then asked seriously: "Chief Li, are you telling the truth or lies?"
"Of course it's the truth." Lao Li glared.
"The equipment is second-rate, the soldiers are third-rate." Liu Lang answered honestly.
The people at the table at the 200 Brigade Headquarters were stunned for a moment.
