Chapter 58: Escort (1)
The people Li Hai said he knew were naturally not his friends in this time and space, he was a normal student who joined the Red Army from Hunan in his teens, and where did he know students from Tsinghua University and Peking University at the age of 18.
What he said is to see if there are any historical celebrities among these students, after all, there are many celebrities from Tsinghua University and Peking University, especially in this era.
However, he was disappointed, among the more than 300 teachers and students, mainly students from Peking University and Peking Normal University, and Tsinghua University and Peking University accounted for less than 20%.
This means that the destinations of these teachers and students are not the same, and the purpose of National Peking University and National Peking Normal University is Xi'an, because their alma mater established Xi'an Provisional University in Xi'an under the order of the Nationalist Government, which is later known as the Northwest Associated University.
National Tsinghua University, National Peking University, private Nankai University and Academia Sinica were ordered to form Changsha Provisional University, which was later moved to Kunming and became Southwest Associated University.
In fact, it can also be seen that there is a gap between the Southwest Associated University and the Northwest Associated University.
The schools of Northwest Associated University are all ordinary universities, and two of the three universities of Southwest Associated University are the 'Five Famous Universities of the Republic of China'.
The five national universities are National Central University, National Tsinghua University, National Peking University, National Zhejiang University, and National Wuhan University.
The National Central University is the next Nanjing University, but it is not only Nanjing University, because this Central University during the Nationalist Government was split up in New China. However, the universities composed of the separated faculties were basically famous universities in the previous life, which shows the strength of National Central University at this time.
You must know that during the Anti-Japanese War, the funding of the National Central University was three times that of the Southwest Associated University, and it can only be said that the treatment is indeed different between the son and the son.
Lehi began to think that the escort task would be simple, but when he saw the group of large bags and small bags, and the team of teachers and students in many carriages, his face sank suddenly.
This team is also too big, I really don't know how this group of people and division commanders came here safely, so obviously, didn't they tell the Japanese that the plane has an important target here.
Fortunately, the place where they went next was the base of the Eighth Route Army, and it was unlikely that they would encounter the Japanese army.
"Professor Jiang, hello, I am a comrade sent by the 687th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army to escort you to Fuping, my name is Li Hai, and I am a platoon commander."
Lehi approached a man in his 30s, a professor at Peking University whose surname was Jiang.
As for whether there was a professor surnamed Jiang in Peking University in history, he didn't know, if you want to talk about the professor of Peking University during the Anti-Japanese War, he can still name a lot of people, but he really can't remember Peking University, unless he knows the history of this school.
"Hello, the contemptible surname is Jiang, a professor at Peking University. Thank you very much for the Eighth Route Army, if it weren't for your escort, we might have been reduced to the guns of the Japanese invaders by now! Although he was a little puzzled to hear that the Eighth Route Army only sent a platoon commander to escort him this time, he was not the kind of person who didn't know what to do.
Professor Jiang was polite. You are the pillars of the country, and now that the Japanese are raging, we in the Eighth Route Army have the obligation to escort you to a safe place. For these polite words, Lehi naturally came easily.
At the beginning, these teachers and students were also wondering why the Eighth Route Army only sent a platoon to escort them this time, but when they saw that this platoon actually had more than 100 people, and the weapons and equipment were even better than some of the Central Army's, they were very puzzled.
Is this still the Eighth Route Army? How is it completely different from the Eighth Route Army I saw before? And there are more than a hundred people in one platoon? Bully them for not knowing military common sense?
In fact, the phenomenon of overstaffing is not only in Lehi's second platoon, but also in the sixth company and even the entire second battalion, which battalion do you see with more than 1,000 people?
But there are really, there are more than 1,000 people in one battalion of the Tax Police Corps.
However, for the other units of the Eighth Route Army, the overstaffing of the second battalion was indeed a bit excessive.
Of course, the superiors will not care about you, as long as you can feed you, expand the organization at will, and just expand the troops.
At this time, there were 135 people in the second platoon, which was equivalent to the number of people in the next company under normal conditions.
Because of the previous capture, the entire Sixth Company was very well equipped, and even if the second platoon of Lehi was expanded, 90% of the soldiers had guns, and those who did not have guns would use broadswords and spears. Moreover, the weapons of the six companies are Japanese-style weapons account for 60%, which is a considerable proportion.
。。。。。。
"Xiao Xuan, what do you think is the difference between these Eighth Route Army, how is it different from what we saw before?"
During the break, three girls dressed in school uniforms got together and discussed the Eighth Route Army around them without shying away.
"What's the difference? Aren't they all the Eighth Route Army? The girl called Xiaoxuan looked a little tired, but because of her friend's inquiry, she had to cheer up.
"Don't you think that the Eighth Route Army in front of you looks more temperamental than the previous Eighth Route Army, and their mental outlook is much better. It's also very pleasant, but it looks much more comfortable. The girl from before said.
"Menglan, people are soldiers, do you look comfortable here, is it appropriate?" The third girl reminded.
"Let's discuss it privately, it's nothing. Yaqian, look at the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army, but I have glanced at you several times, did I take a fancy to you? Otherwise, you won't go to Changsha and stay here! The schoolgirl known as Menglan was obviously in that kind of lively and cheerful person, chattering non-stop.
"What is our situation, now that the national crisis is at the head, we are fleeing again, what are you thinking about?" Although the girl known as Yaqian said this, she still glanced at the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army who was holding a telescope on the hillside over there to observe the surrounding situation.
Girls like handsome boys since ancient times, although Lehi is young, but the military uniform gives people a heroic and extraordinary feeling. In addition, Lehi also attaches more importance to his own attire and looks more comfortable, so he naturally gives a good first impression.
Naturally, Lehi didn't know that anyone was discussing him, and at this time he was instructing the soldiers of the second platoon to set up defenses, and he must have rested here tonight, and he must arrange the night patrol.
Although this area belongs to the base area of the Eighth Route Army, who knows if there will be enemies, so safety must be put first.
This enemy may be a Japanese puppet army, a bandit, or even a local armed force, so it's better to be careful.
"Professor Yang, I have to trouble you to tell the others, you may rest here tonight, and you will leave tomorrow morning." Li Hai came to Professor Yang, who was wiping his glasses.
"Platoon Commander Li, isn't it still a while before it gets dark?" Professor Yang looked at the still bright sky and was a little puzzled.
"Professor Yang, the area around here is all mountainous and the terrain is complicated, and we have so many carriages, and when it gets dark, it is very dangerous to travel, and it is difficult to find a place to camp."
Professor Yang thought for a while, then nodded, and greeted the teachers and students.
