Chapter 1089 Special Training Camp (Part 2) (Please double your monthly votes!)
"I call you rubbish, not because you laid down your weapons, not because you were forced to surrender to the enemy.
One general was incompetent to kill three armies, so the 29th Army hurriedly responded to the battle. One hundred thousand people faced nearly two hundred thousand Japanese invaders. If they could win in battle, it would be a wishful thinking.
That is a non-war crime that cannot be changed by you and me." Tang Dao's voice continued to ring through the audience.
The muscles on Shangguan Yun's face twitched slightly. Really, if Tang Dao's words were spread out by someone with intentions, some people would definitely make a big fuss. He had been in the army for a long time, but he knew the sinister nature of people's hearts.
Glancing around from the corner of his eye, he saw that the officers of the Four Elements Regiment around him had expressions unchanged. Only then did Shangguan Yun feel relieved. Tang Dao's control over the Four Elements Regiment was far beyond his imagination, otherwise he would not be able to abandon the entire infantry regiment.
He went to Songhu alone to rescue them.
Thinking about it again, Tang Dao and Lei Xiong and the others even disobeyed the military orders of the headquarters and even took off their military ranks. Now it is completely normal to scold them for being incompetent.
What's more, what Tang Dao said is true.
Although someone was mentally prepared for Japan's full-scale invasion, he was not prepared, which objectively caused a series of passivity in the Great Patriotic War.
"It's about your performance in the special training camp.
You resisted the brutality of the Japanese invaders and all kinds of temptations in the prisoner-of-war camp, but during the training period, you gathered together to make trouble just because lunch was late. To put it nicely, it was a crowd making noise, but the fact is, you are
Mutiny.
Then I want to ask you, would you do this in a prisoner of war camp? No, you wouldn't. You know that those beasts will show their fangs at you without hesitation and punish you with blood and death.
But your tribe doesn't, so you act so wantonly. Tell me, is this a typical act of being confident?
To the brutal enemies, you can be as submissive as gentle kittens, but to your own people, you are as irritable as the male lions in heat on the grassland. Isn't it ridiculous?" Tang Dao had a look of deep disdain on his face.
The faces of the officers and soldiers in the special training camp all showed shame.
"In the Battle of Southeast Shanxi, our Second Theater won a great victory, killing and wounding more than 20,000 Japanese invaders, and annihilating a mixed brigade of Japanese invaders. But at what cost? The lives of more than 13,000 soldiers were glorious in the Taihang Mountains.
The blood of a total of 30,000 officers and soldiers stained the entire mountains and rivers red.
How many steel soldiers cried with red eyes carrying the remains of their comrades. No one can comfort them, only the lives of the Japanese. Blood debts must be paid with blood. This has been the case since ancient times.
But we let them go, why? First, although you were defeated and captured, we, the northern army, have never forgotten your comrades who raised their swords and guns against the Japanese army.
Everyone here hopes to see you pick up the gun again and fight with us, to prove to the Japanese devils that as long as we are here, they will never think of being arrogant on the land left to us by our ancestors, the Chinese nation.
Secondly, at the end of the Battle of Southeast Shanxi, a big brother from the 59th Army sent me a congratulatory message from the Fourth Army Regiment."
Tang Dao took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and read: "This is a great victory in the southeastern part of Shanxi Province. Even though I am thousands of miles away, I am also cheering for my brother's achievements. Even when I am happy, I am especially sad!"
My brother joined the army at the age of 20 and has experienced countless battlefields. He has an open mind and is worthy of others. Only six thousand soldiers of the 39th Independent Brigade were trapped in Pingbei due to my brother's misjudgment. Every time I think about it, I toss and turn and can't sleep at night!
If prisoners of war are captured and the Japanese invaders want to exchange them, I hope that my brother, Peng Cheng, and I will feel like old friends at first sight and save the 6,000 soldiers of the 39th Independent Brigade from fire and water, so that they can return to the anti-Japanese front line and avenge their previous humiliation.
Our 29th Army has the reputation of carrying the enemy on the front line for several years!
Brother Zhang Jinchen weeps blood and pays homage again!"
After reading a telegram, the ranks of officers and soldiers in the special training camp were filled with undercurrents. Many people had tears in their eyes. The big man from the north who led the troops out even burst into tears and cried loudly: "Master, I have not forgotten
Us, he didn’t forget us!”
Yes! When they followed the old officer to stay, they had the idea of loyalty to the country together. But who would have thought that the situation changed so fast. The Japanese army took advantage of the so-called negotiation opportunity to destroy the original 20,000 troops in a very short period of time.
The number surged to hundreds of thousands, and it was no longer enough to describe the disparity in strength between the two sides at that time.
In the end, they could only shoot the entire brigade and became prisoners of war. Not only did they suffer physical and mental humiliation, but they also had the suspicion of being betrayed. But now, hearing Tang Dao read this message, the feeling hidden deep in his heart
All doubts gone.
Even though their old commander was in a high position again, he never forgot his comrades who had fought alongside him.
This is undoubtedly a booster for these former "prisoners of war" whose self-esteem has been extremely frustrated.
"However, I am very disappointed. Even if you did not choose to surrender in the prisoner of war camp, it only proves that you have not forgotten that you are Chinese, but your behavior at this time is like a group of broken soldiers with lax military discipline. You have lost
How proud he was when he stood on the Great Wall defense line! Brother Zhang has forgotten that some people's will may not be as strong as he imagined!" Tang Dao shook his head slightly, with a solemn look on his face.
"You are no longer worthy of picking up the gun again and fighting alongside me and my brothers!
As Tang Dao, I have lived up to my promise to my eldest brother. I exchanged you back as he wished. But as the supreme commander of the Four Lines Regiment, I regret a little. I regret that I exchanged you for a group of people who regard military discipline as
A straggler with nothing.
I order the special training camp to be disbanded!
You all, go home! It’s also a good choice to go back alive and have your wife and children warm on the kang.”
Ye Chenghuan was shocked!
He knew very well how important these officers and soldiers were to the current Four Lines Regiment.
It doesn't matter that the artillery battalion, cavalry battalion, engineer company, communications company, and health company are all in urgent need of additional technical troops. The newly formed 4th Infantry Battalion needs a large number of veterans with immediate combat capabilities. Otherwise, it will only rely on those 270 people and bring 1,000 more.
The combat effectiveness of new recruits may not be as good as one-third of that of other infantry battalions.
Shangguan Yun even almost asked Tang Dao to take back the order. Of course he knew the purpose of Tang Dao bringing him here. There would be at least 500 people under his command here. It would be good for him, the battalion commander, to show his face to suppress this gang of former soldiers.
The elite soldiers belonging to the 29th Army will be more convenient to command in the future.
As a result, his face was exposed, but Tang Tuanzuo drove everyone away, so what is the use of his exposed face?
However, they are all the most orthodox soldiers. Although it is still impossible to judge Tang Dao's original intention, Tang Dao is the supreme commander of the Four Elements Regiment. Once his military order is issued, the entire regiment will abide by it unconditionally.
"From here, you can go south along the southwestern part of Shanxi to reach Shaanxi. If you want to go to Sichuan, you can also go south along the Han River to central China. You can go anywhere in the world.
Don’t worry, since I’ve already called you trash, I won’t call you cowards again. Even if it’s not for Brother Zhang’s sake, you have already experienced life and death once, and you have the right to choose your future life.”
Pointing to the mountains in the distance, without waiting for the officers and soldiers of the special training camp to respond, Tang Dao turned around and shouted: "Director Ye, give each person in the special training camp five yuan in ocean tolls, prepare three days of food for each person, and give me four lines
Regimental instructions! Battalion Commander Shangguan, Company Commander Cai, you two are responsible for cooperating with Director Ye to demobilize the special training camp!"
After Ye Chenghuan, Shangguan Yun, and Cai Yongguan stepped out of the queue and loudly accepted their orders, Tang Dao put on his military uniform and left with his head held high with the rest of the officers.
The three officers looked at Tang Dao's retreating figure and looked at each other with a wry smile. They somewhat understood what Tang Dao meant. This was to give these officers and soldiers who had spent a year in the prisoner of war camp a counter-stimulation and make them
They understood that since they came to the Four Elements Group, they had to follow the rules and prohibitions. They could raise their opinions if they had any, but they could never use this kind of gathering method.
Otherwise, although Tang Dao, the supreme commander, could not impose military discipline on them all for violating military discipline, he could have done it by simply flipping the table and dispersing.
The countless 'medals' on his body have told all the officers and soldiers in the special training camp here that he is a tough commander and will never leave a group of unstable elements in the army.
It’s just that the human heart is the most difficult thing to grasp. If the drug is too strong, and the person is really gone, where will he cry?
It's just that the matter has come to this, now that Tang Dao has made his decision, the two of them can only choose to support Tang Dao's decision.
"Let's go, Battalion Commander Shangguan and Company Commander Cai. I'll inform the Director of the Munitions Department and ask him to prepare supplies. I'd like to ask you two to accompany me on this errand." Ye Chenghuan was also a decisive person and said to his two subordinates.
"Director Ye's words are serious!" Shangguan Yun was also very polite and courteous.
He was already very clear about the power structure of the Four-Hong Group. He had seen Gong Shaoxun, the chief of staff of the regiment, at the large construction site of HD. He knew that he would stay there to preside over the construction of the factory, and that the focus of work would be there. This politician
The director of the department is the well-deserved third-in-command of the Four Elements Group.
Even if he, Tang Dao and Lei Xiong are all old comrades-in-arms, he must not be arrogant because of this and do not take the dignified third-in-command in his eyes. It is his quality to be polite to you. If you take politeness and courtesy as a matter of course, that is
His problem.
Besides, this person is in charge of the work of the special training camp. If his newly established fourth battalion wants some elite soldiers, it will have to rely on help from others, right?
Tang Dao deliberately kept him here because he wanted him to have a relationship with the director of the Political Department first.
It can only be said that the world of adults is not easy, and every action has a lot of meaning!
But Tang Tuanzuo can guarantee that he didn't think it was that complicated. He just hoped that Shangguan Yun and others could integrate into the large group of the Four Elements Group as soon as possible, including the brief but warm enough welcome ceremony in the morning.
He hoped that the 542nd Regiment, a group of elite soldiers and generals, would regard the Si Xing Regiment as their home, rather than a guest army. After all, the war was about to begin, and there was not much time to give them a chance to slowly adjust.
But obviously, Shangguan Yun's attitude made Ye Chenghuan very satisfied. The white-faced scholar in front of him did not have the aloof attitude of those officers who came from the national army system. He was very humble and had enough consciousness and wisdom. No wonder Tang Dao basically didn't interact with Lei Xiong and others.
After discussion, he decided on this position.
Having been in the Si Xing Regiment for a long time, Ye Chenghuan knows how strong the combat effectiveness of a battalion in the Si Xing Regiment is. It is almost equivalent to the combat effectiveness of the 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment.
The two of them also turned and left.
Only more than 2,000 officers and soldiers from the special training camp were left looking at each other in the valley.
This outcome was completely beyond their expectations. Originally, they were just united because of their fragile self-esteem to fight against these vain ideological and political studies. Unexpectedly, after the extremely powerful commander reprimanded them,
They have to drive people away.
But to be honest, the Si Xing Regiment treated them very well. In addition to the large amount of ideological and political studies that were objectionable, the food and the attitudes of the officers and soldiers in the barracks were very good. Especially when Tang Dao finished reading Commander Zhang's telegram, they expressed their feelings towards the Si Xing Regiment.
The group felt an inexplicable sense of belonging.
They had already been told during the special training camp that the 29th Army had been abolished and reorganized into the First Army. They could not return to the old army, so it seemed like a good idea to join the ranks of the old commanders and brothers.
But now people have turned over the card tables and stopped playing, which is really a bit dumbfounding.
What kind of trick is this?
The military supplies office of the Fourth Army Regiment obviously had sufficient supplies. Even though they received the notice at short notice, they still quickly delivered two large boxes and white flour steamed buns packed in baskets on a carriage.
Two full boxes of white cash were placed in front of the officers and soldiers of the special training camp!
"Brothers, if you want to go home, come and get money! Five yuan per person for a road trip. In addition, there are white flour steamed buns, six for each person. If you take them, you can go home." Political Department
A second lieutenant officer shouted loudly with a tin loudspeaker.
More than 10,000 white-flour steamed buns are still steaming. It seems that these white-flour steamed buns were originally prepared by the Fourth Army Regiment Headquarters for several directly-affiliated battalions. They were moved here as soon as they were prepared.
The steamed buns in the army are real. One white-flour steamed bun costs at least four taels, and two of them can last a day without any problem.
But after hesitating for a long time, no one came forward.
"What a fool, you are still not convinced when the regimental commander said you are rubbish, and now you are so scared to ask you to take money, clothes, and steamed buns to go home.
Ladies, who is the commander of the Si Xing Regiment? He is a hero who dares to fight a decisive battle with an infantry regiment of the Japanese with hundreds of brothers. He is a hero who can fight his way out of Songhu with a thousand men.
A good man will always keep his words.
I gave you money, clothes, and a way home because you didn't become Japanese traitors and were still considered Chinese. Hurry up, come and get the money and get out of here." Cai Yongguan stared at a pair of bull's eyes and roared throughout the room.
valley.
Not to mention, the subordinates assigned by Tang Dao to help Ye Chenghuan were very special. Cai Yongguan himself was a bandit leader. He had a pair of bull's-eyes and was as calm as Zhang Fei. Although his roar was broken, it was definitely like thunder.
, very suitable for this occasion.
You want Ye Chenghuan and Shangguan Yun to have paler faces. Even if their voices are not quiet, their aura is far inferior to that of Cai Yongguan. This is because this guy doesn't carry his thick-backed sword.
.
Li Jijin teased Cai Yongguan every day because he was always carrying a machete. He was not like a regular army company commander, but like a bandit leader. This time, Cai Yongguan was going to welcome Shangguan Yun and others, so he dressed more formally. Finally, he let go of the habit of walking wherever he wanted.
Where to carry the Kaishan thick back knife?
After being scolded by Cai Yongguan for a while, someone finally came out, walked to the front with his head lowered, counted five yuan from the cash box, and took the pass from the hands of the military commissary officer of the Fourth Army Regiment with a look of contempt on his face.
, with a flushed face, he took 6 white-flour buns from the basket with his own clothes and left the military camp.
Someone took the lead, and everything went as the ferocious army captain said, with no one standing in the way.
The officers and soldiers in the special training camp gradually became bolder and came out in groups, received money and passes, and left with steamed buns.
"Bah, rubbish! Coward!" The second lieutenant stationed at the gate of the garrison spit heavily into the special training camp and waved his hand, "Brothers, line up over there and stay away from these cowards.
, don’t be infected by them.”
The northern man who had been standing silently had endless shame on his face, but he was helpless in the face of the groups of former colleagues who walked out and wanted to go home.
It wasn't until not far from him that two people from the company under his command also walked out. They kept their heads down and walked straight towards the cash box without looking at him. Only then did the northern man suddenly become angry, "Zhou Mingxuan, Sun Danian"
, you idiots want to leave too? You don’t want to avenge the brothers."
"Company Commander, I don't want to die! I still have three children and a mother to feed at home. I don't want to die, let alone my children and my mother to starve to death." A soldier suddenly knelt down towards the northern man from a distance.
Come down and cry loudly.
The northern man was struck as if struck by lightning, his chest heaving violently, but he could not utter a single word.
"Company Commander, I'm sorry. I can only avenge my brothers in the next life. I want to go back alive to see my parents to death." Another soldier also knelt down and kowtowed several times at the frightened Beifang, who had a distorted face.
With a loud bang of his head, he stood up resolutely and left without looking back.
Amid the dazed and even lonely figure of the northern man, the officers and soldiers of the special training camp walked out of the queue one after another, walked to the cash box, picked up the steamed buns, and left.
However, almost everyone chose to leave from behind him, or try to avoid him as far away as possible.
Even those who had been cowardly after staying in the prisoner-of-war camp for a long time could not bear to see the pride that this scarred northern man once had being shattered bit by bit by the cowardice of his colleagues.
Within ten minutes, nearly 200 people had left!
In the distance, a few eyes looked at this place silently through telescopes, watching the soldiers who were physically and mentally injured by the prisoner of war camps make their own choices.
"Sir, have a cigarette!" Qin Ruoyu said with a grimace and handed a cigarette to Tang Dao, who had his eyes narrowed.

ps: Some book friends left a message today saying that the plot is similar to that of the old book. That’s right. The old book was blocked for 3 years. Now that it has been released, it has been changed beyond recognition. It is no longer the one that Fengyue devoted all her efforts to create.
In the story, Feng Yue is always unwilling to give up. In addition, Feng Yue has completely re-interpreted the selected plots, which should be better than what was written before.
Also, Fengyue promises that the upcoming Jindong War will be the same except for the location, but the battle process and tactical arrangements are completely different. Fengyue promises that everyone will have a brand new Jindong War, and the Japanese army will be more cunning and difficult to deal with.
I am very grateful for the support of the book friends who left messages criticizing Fengyue. Fengyue hopes to work hard to give you and other book friends a wonderful anti-war story!
