Since the Red Army left Zunyi on the 19th, Liu Lang has not stayed at the regiment headquarters waiting for Xiao Fenghua's telegram as before.
As long as the wheel of history does not shift, the Red Army, which has reestablished its leadership, will not be in great danger during this period. In the three months from January to April, they crossed Chishui four times and occupied Zunyi twice, defeating the national government.
20 regiments obtained a large amount of supplies. At this time, they were still in a very good state of energy and supplies.
As the leader of the independent regiment, Liu Lang suddenly became even busier, not because of military training, but because the New Year was coming soon. February 3, 1935, was New Year's Eve.
It has been three years since I arrived in Guangyuan in July 1932. Before New Year's Eve of the first year, the entire independent regiment set off for the Great Wall, which was 3,000 miles away. New Year's Eve was spent on the road, because I was in a hurry.
On the way, the whole army didn't even eat a bowl of dumplings. As an extra meal, everyone in the army was given two extra steamed buns bought in the city they passed by.
On New Year's Eve of the next year, Liu Lang had already gone to the United States. Since the chief officer was away, the whole army of the Independence Regiment did not celebrate. They only gave each non-combat duty unit a day off.
A banquet made of all meat was prepared for the laborers in the canteen, and each person was allowed to drink half a catty of white wine, which was considered too much.
This year is already the third and fourth year of the formation of the independent regiment. According to Liu Lang, since the harvest this year is not bad and all the soldiers in the army have been training hard for a whole year, they should have a good time this year. Not only
We must live well and do great things to make everyone happy.
Since Liu Tuanzuo has decided like this, why don't the independent regiment take action immediately? Especially Liang Wenzhong, who is in charge of logistics, is busy. The entire logistics department has been sent out to purchase supplies, which are not available in the small Guangyuan County.
Then go to Chengdu, hundreds of miles away. With the batch of gold seized by the Shanying Special Team, the Independent Group is not short of money now. Even if it is not enough, there is still money from the dividends of the Huashang Group to support it!
Liu Tuanzuo was only responsible for setting the general direction, and a group of subordinates carried out the specific implementation, but he had no time to spare. He spent a few days running away in a broken car that he bought from Chairman Liu a few days ago.
I went to Chengdu and asked my cousin, who was so angry at me a few days ago that he almost couldn't get off Taiwan, to attend the independent group's New Year's Eve celebration.
However, Chairman Liu was still very reserved. After a little hesitation, he finally waved his hand and rejected his nephew's kindness. But Chairman Liu was not still angry with Liu Lang, but the Chinese people attach great importance to New Year's Eve. He, the No. 1 person in Sichuan Province
A person cannot accompany his family like ordinary people or go wandering wherever he wants. There are many troops that need to be comforted by him, and it is impossible for him to make a special trip to Guangyuan, which is hundreds of miles away, to work for the First Independent Regiment.
Therefore, although Liu Lang did not invite Sichuan's top figures to join the independent group, he unexpectedly received 5,000 yuan in military funds specially approved by Liu Xiang, which was considered a big red envelope for Liu Lang's independent group during the Chinese New Year.
With this big red envelope, Liu Tuanzuo did not feel that he had lost face. He turned around with a smile and went to the newly established 61st Brigade of the Seventh Route Army that had been stationed near Chengdu. This time Liu Tuanzuo still had a bit of face.
, not only did the major general commander of the New 61 Brigade readily agree to go, but he also sent Liu Tuanzuo outside the camp gate, and did not turn back to the camp until Liu Lang's car disappeared. This definitely gave Liu Tuanzuo enough face.
On the way back to Guangyuan, Liu Lang turned around again and went to the territory of the Fourth Division. Fan Shaozeng, who is Master Fan? After receiving Liu Lang's invitation, he not only agreed to go in person, but also took it on the spot.
He offered a gift of five thousand yuan, claiming that since the formation of the Independence Regiment, he, his elder brother, had not been able to congratulate him in person because of his busy military affairs, so he took this opportunity to make up for it.
Liu Tuanzuo might be able to pretend to push other gifts, but he would not push them when it came to money. He did not need help from others at all. He almost blinded Mr. Fan Haer by carrying a box in one hand.
In a blink of an eye, he lifted 5,000 yuan into the car.
It’s hard for Mr. Fan not to be blinded! A piece of ocean weighs 26.6 grams. A hundred yuan is 2.6 kilograms. How much is five thousand yuan? More than 130 kilograms weighs less than three hundred kilograms. But Liu Tuanzuo was carrying a big cash box in one hand.
Running fast is like running slower and the gift money will be withdrawn.
Of course, what really blinded Master Fan was yet to come. After accepting the gift from the rich Mr. Fan Haer, Liu Tuanzuo was not a stingy person and gave Fan Shaozeng a return gift on the spot.
However, it was a note. It was just like the note Du Yuesheng had written to the commanders of the 19th Route Army. It read: 500 Type 38 rifles, six Type 92 heavy machine guns, and a Taisho Type 11 light machine gun.
15 pieces, 20 sets of grenades, and 1 million rounds of 6.5 mm caliber bullets.
Liu Lang didn't know how a certain Mr. Ha'er would criticize him for writing free notes and giving gifts after he left. Anyway, when he left, Mr. Ha'er was still staring at the note he wrote in a daze.
Compared with the 5,000 yuan received by Liu Tuanzuo, the value of the weapons written on Liu Tuanzuo's note is definitely more than ten times that.
But, is that possible? Anyway, Mr. Haer didn’t believe it at that time.
Of course, that was because he didn’t know how much Liu Tuanzuo had robbed the Kwantung Army. The fact that Liu Tuanzuo used 20,000 civilians to move all the weapons and equipment that could equip a brigade once made the commander of the Kwantung Army
The officials were so distressed that they almost spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.
With a major general and a lieutenant general attending the Independent Regiment's New Year's Eve banquet, Liu Lang felt it was not too embarrassing, so he didn't bother to invite other great masters.
The matter of inviting prominent figures to attend, which he, the chief officer, was responsible for, had come to an end at this point.
After dinner that day, Liu Lang and Ji Yanxue finished their daily walk and checked the camp. They were followed by a dragster named Xiong Si. They met the Chief of Staff Tang Yongming walking forward with his head held high. His man was wearing a cotton robe and looked very handsome.
The somewhat petite lady trotted behind.
"Haha, where are you going, Chief of Staff? Why are you walking so fast and making Madam-in-law follow you in such a hurry?" Liu Lang smiled and walked up to say hello.
"Setting in the group, I'm feeling a little bored after spending a day in the barracks. I want to take advantage of the fact that there are fewer people at night and go out for a walk. There are very few independent family members here. Tang Mou has been appointed as a staff officer. I can't say that traveling together as a couple is enviable."
!The same goes for Qinglan. I asked her to stay away a little bit, but she didn’t want to." Tang Yongming stopped and said with a somewhat solemn expression.
Hearing what Tang Yongming said, Liu Lang couldn't help but laugh.
Since there has been no war recently, Liu Lang personally issued a military order from September. All officers of the Second Lieutenant level and above in the Independent Regiment can apply to the regiment headquarters to bring their parents, wives and children to the Independent Regiment to visit relatives for three months. For this reason, Liu Lang specially invited
The workers built a relatives camp at the foot of a mountain three miles away from the camp of the Independent Regiment, which can accommodate 400 people, enough to accommodate nearly 80 families. If relatives cannot come due to long distances, they will visit relatives in batches after the year.
The family visit order is not only for officers, but all officers and soldiers of the entire regiment. They will complete this three-month family visit leave in batches within the next two years.
Because Liu Lang knew that perhaps, this was the last time in this life for most of the people in the independent group to see their parents and relatives, and he could not deprive them of this precious opportunity.
As soon as this order came out, the whole group was greatly excited.
Tang Yongming's home was settled in Beiping City. He came to Guangyuan with the Independence Regiment and did not return home for more than a year. In the end, Liu Lang personally approved it. A few months ago, two male soldiers from the guard platoon and a female escort from the regiment's health team were appointed.
Two female soldiers went north to Peiping to take his wife An Qinglan and two children to the independent regiment base. Only then did the family reunite. It has only been more than a month now.
Originally, Liu Lang also wanted to bring the family of Vice-President Zhang Ruhao over to celebrate the New Year together, but he refused because his wife was serving his mother in his hometown.
But in the past few months, there have been very few family members visiting relatives at the base of the Independent Regiment. There are hundreds of officers in the regiment, including Chief of Staff Tang's family, and there are only seven or eight families. Liu Lang found out after asking,
Except for a few older ones who were originally military officers, including Zhao Ergou, the battalion commander who still flirted with young nurses with love letters, there were still more than ninety officers in the regiment.
If you are alone, let alone the other big soldiers.
The reason is very simple. Most of these officers are promoted by veterans. When I was a soldier, I couldn't even feed myself. Where can I get the money to marry a wife? In addition, being a soldier is a precarious job.
Son, which family is willing to let their daughter become a widow at any time?
Over the past year or so, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment have become richer, they have received medals, and their officers have raised their military ranks. However, the training tasks have always been very tight, and the chief officer Liu Lang has gone overseas, so there is no
I went home to visit relatives, so this matter was delayed.
Therefore, Tang Yongming, one of the three giants of the independent group, has always been very cautious. Although the couple is very close to each other, they have always kept a distance outside so as not to arouse the envy of a bunch of bachelors.
"Members of the group, you are here to judge. Yongming and I are together, but he wants me to stay ten meters away from him. What's the point? He's walking so fast, just like a thief." An Qinglan, Tang Yongming's wife
But she is a northern woman with a straightforward personality. She may have been a little angry at first, but now she no longer obeys her.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, I didn't think well. Don't blame Chief of Staff Tang. In this way, if you stay for a few days, I promise to let you and the Chief of Staff walk side by side in the camp, and others won't look at you. How about that?" Liu Lang
He smiled slightly and comforted the sister-in-law.
"real?"
"I never say anything. In this case, Madam-in-law, let Yanxue accompany you for a walk. The chief of staff and I will go to Deputy Zhang Tuan to discuss something." Liu Lang winked at Ji Yanxue.
Ji Yanxue stepped forward with a smile and took An Qinglan's hand, whose resentment had subsided a bit. She threw another piece of beef jerky into Xiong Si's mouth. The guy immediately turned around and left with the two beauties. Xiong Si was there.
Following behind, there are naturally no wild beasts in the mountains that can hurt them.
