It was already evening after the contest between the two armies.
Although they were friendly forces, they had different affiliations. Liu Lang led the independent regiment to station in a mountainous area eight miles away from the independent 200 brigade station, and deployed various field fortifications and outposts as usual.
Liu Lang didn't know that not long after he left, Comrade Li recorded the results of today's competition between the two armies in detail. However, before he could add his own comments about the independent regiment, Liu Tanfu hurried in.
.
He reported to Lao Li in a low voice with an ugly face. Li Fu, who was about to write, stood stunned for a long time, sighed with emotion, and wrote in the last sentence of the record: The combat strength of the Liu Lang Independent Regiment of the Central Army exceeds that of the 68th Division.
You know, before Liu Tanfu came in, what he planned to write was that the combat capabilities of the Liu Lang Independent Regiment of the Central Army were comparable to the 68th Division.
It didn't take long for this record, which detailed the details of the great contest between the two armies, to be placed on the desk of a study room of an official residence in Taiyuan, Shanxi.
Under the surprised gaze of a young woman wearing a dark red cheongsam, a pair of deep eyes looked at the record sent by the subordinate via telex several times with a little surprise. Then she put down the message and said a few words in an extremely rare manner.
A meaningless sentence: "No wonder, no wonder, it's amazing, it's amazing."
"Brother, who can get such praise from you?" The young woman became curious.
Ever since she entered the official residence here to serve her cousin, she has never seen her powerful cousin praise someone so highly.
"Hey, fifth sister, the elder brother is not talking about a person, but a group. You will know it just by looking at it." A middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a black traditional robe and mandarin jacket handed the message to the young woman and said.
With surprise, the young woman quickly browsed the message. When she saw what happened, her face was filled with surprise. In the end, she even exclaimed: "Two consecutive shots hit two targets ten miles away. This is
Impossible? The artillery of our Jinsui Army cannot reach this level."
"But the artillery under that fat man has reached this level. Didn't you read what Li Fu said? Before he heard the real situation, he was going to write that it was comparable to the 68th Division. But after hearing the real situation, he directly concluded that it was better than him.
68th Division. Hehe, although Li Fujie is not particularly outstanding in military command, he is still loyal and will never bullshit on such a major matter.
In fact, without him having to say anything, I can make my own judgment more or less just by looking at a few rounds of competitions. The combat effectiveness of a regiment with only more than 2,000 people actually exceeds that of your elder brother, a division of more than 10,000 people in the Shanxi-Sui Army that I have worked hard for many years.
Do you think they deserve my praise?" The middle-aged man walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the rockery in the distance. Although his tone was relaxed, his face was slightly solemn.
It turned out that what Liu Tanfu reported to Comrade Lao Li with a sullen face was that the last shot of the Independent Regiment did not actually miss. It was just because the infantry company that set up the artillery target did not bring enough incendiary. It was impossible for anyone to think of it.
All three targets were really hit, so there was not enough weight buried in the last soil bag. Even if it was hit, the black smoke would not be much different from when the shell exploded, and could basically be ignored.
And that dirt bag naturally belonged to the Independent Regiment. Only the infantrymen who went to check the explosion power of the independent regiment's mountain artillery shells knew that all three artillery targets belonging to the independent regiment had hit the target.
Naturally, the last game was not a draw, the 68th Division still lost.
"Now you know why I said it's no wonder! No wonder they repelled the siege of the 8th Division with more than 20,000 troops with only three regiments. No matter how well the fortifications are built, who has to guard the position?
What's more, I'm afraid you don't know that Liu Lang, this crazy little guy, is most likely the real instigator of the Eighth Division's attack in the north of Rehe. Hehe, good guy, thousands of troops were rushed into the army.
Not only did the Peasant Army possess various types of mortars, but Deng Wen's Cavalry Brigade, which had retreated from Heilongjiang, struck a fatal blow when the Eighth Division was fully attacking and was unprepared. Liu Lang's use of troops was ruthless and ruthless.
If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to throw the life-saving cannon of the army to those farmers." The middle-aged man continued to look into the distance with his eyes narrowed, and said leisurely.
"Brother, with such a powerful army crossing the border, isn't it a bit unsafe for Li Fu's independent 200 Brigade to look at it? Should we send more troops along the way to keep an eye on them to prevent them from making any small moves?
"The young woman's face finally changed.
Who doesn't know that the bald man who is striving to completely unify the country covets Shanxi, and that independent regiment with super combat effectiveness still bears the name of the Central Army.
"No, Fifth Sister, you only know one but not the other. Although Fatty Liu is a tough general, he is also a super prick. He chased the Eighth Division beyond the Great Wall and kicked the butt, but he even blocked that one.
Ten gold medals had already violated that person's taboo. Otherwise, with his astonishing record this time, how could he still be just a junior colonel? Hehe, he just gave away a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. It's really a big deal. If it were replaced
But there is no way I can become Yan Laoxi." The middle-aged man turned around, his slightly curled lips filled with sarcasm.
The middle-aged man who calls himself Yan Laoxi can naturally only be Comrade Lao Yan, who has been running Shanxi since 1911 and is known as the King of Shanxi. He is even more worthy of the name of a provincial warlord than Liu Lang's cousin Liu Xiang.
To say that it dominates a province is still an understatement. The reason why the Jin-Sui Army is the Jin-Sui Army is that it is not only Jin but also Sui. Suiyuan is 800 miles away from Datong. It will later be called Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia, and the surrounding vast area.
The area was also a province of China at this time.
The owner of these two provinces in western China is this middle-aged man in his fifties. His name, Yan Xishan, also known as Baichuan, is a figure that must be mentioned in modern Chinese history.
And the young woman he called Fifth Sister was also his cousin Yan Huiqing, who was known as the most trusted person in Yan's mansion.
"Brother, you are saying that Liu Lang must have a gap in his heart because of this. Then can we try to get this powerful army to join our Jinsui Army... No, even if he comes alone, give him a
With the position of division commander, in a few years we in Shanxi may have an independent division with stronger combat effectiveness." The fifth girl's face was full of surprise.
"What you said is almost impossible." Comrade Lao Yan slowly shook his head.
Wu Meizi, who only manages the inner house, obviously does not know the domestic situation clearly, but Comrade Lao Yan knows very well that his intention to establish an independent kingdom in Shanxi has long been tolerated by that person. If Liu Lang, who is as powerful as Liu Lang, is allowed to
By pulling this guy in, he undoubtedly tore off the last fig leaf between the two of them. Maybe the 500,000-strong army that is thousands of miles away and surrounding Jiangxi will arrive in Shanxi soon!
Of course, it doesn't mean that Comrade Lao Yan is really afraid of the bald man. It's not that he didn't fight in the Central Plains War, he just didn't win. Isn't he still sitting safely on the throne now?
The most important thing is that Liu Lang will never join the Shanxi Jinsui Army. Comrade Lao Yan has seen Liu Lang's life several times. The sudden rise of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War became the key to the tie between the National Army and the Japanese Army. The Battle of the Great Wall and the Japanese Army
In several battles, he was not only astonishingly talented, but also tenacious and tenacious in fighting to the death. This is an extremely outstanding soldier.
But what surprised Comrade Lao Yan was that such an excellent soldier never showed any political leanings. While he seemed not very interested in the government, he was also not very close to the Liu family's warlords. Even he
Of the 300 soldiers his father provided him, except for a dozen or so outstanding ones who entered the army, most of them failed to serve in the Independent Regiment. It can be said that the Liu family's influence on the Independent Regiment was minimal. On the contrary, it was Liu Lang's influence on the Independent Regiment.
The Chinese who fought against the Japanese were extremely friendly. Whether it was the 19th Route Army or the 29th Army, or even the northern refugees who did not want to be slaves to the Japanese, Liu Lang was extremely friendly.
It seems that his existence is to fight against the Japanese. If you have to put a label on him, Liu Lang is an out-and-out nationalist. This kind of person pretends to be the entire nation and will never
It is easy to join a certain political party or a certain force.
If Liu Lang heard Comrade Lao Yan's thoughts, he would definitely have to sigh, these people who can lay a foundation in troubled times are amazing! He didn't say anything, but this person can pass through him this year
You know 80% of what he does.
However, this boss ultimately ignored the red political party that was still struggling to survive. Their rise was a choice of history and the people.
Sitting in the Taishi chair in front of the desk, he read the message again. After thinking for a long time, the Shanxi boss tapped his fingers on the table a few times, "Although it is impossible to work together, I am still more interested in that little guy.
Fifth sister, send a telex to Li Fuzhui, asking him to accompany Liu Lang to Taiyuan, I want to see him."
In the early morning, when Liu Lang was about to lead his team to set off, he was stopped by Comrade Lao Li and told that the King of Shanxi was waiting for him in Taiyuan.
