Chapter 160: New Training

In 1820, two French doctors extracted quinine, an effective antimalarial ingredient, from the bark of the cinchona tree. Since then, quinine has become an antimalarial drug, saving the lives of countless malaria patients.

However, at this time in China, quinine drugs are low and expensive, and there are millions of soldiers on the front line in Wuhan, and 12 out of 10 people suffer from malaria. It can well be imagined!

The rear is all kinds of fundraising, and the quinine obtained is just a drop in the bucket!

The sky was shining brightly, the sun was shining outside the door, Lu Yongnian put down the phone in a daze, but his heart was cold to the bottom.

"Yongnian, what's wrong?" Li Siwei raised his head and glanced at him, the pen in his hand still beating on the paper...... His complexion was much better, but his hands were still a little shaky, and the words he wrote were naturally distorted and ugly.

"Regiment leader," Lu Yongnian looked at Li Siwei, his face full of frustration, "medicine...... The medicine didn't get to our brigade ......"

"Oh," Li Siwei replied casually, lowered his head again, and wrote intently: The first battle of Tangshan, from Chen Dashan down......

At this time, he was suffering from malaria, and entrusted the affairs of the regiment to Lu Yongnian and others, so he took time out to write the meeting minutes. Of course, this memoir is not written by himself, but by the brothers who died on the road of the Anti-Japanese War

"Regiment leader," Lu Yongnian was anxious, strode over, and walked in front of him, "Did you hear clearly?" This batch of medicine is still not our share! ”

Li Siwei was stunned, stopped his pen, looked up at him, and sighed leisurely, "Yongnian, there are only so many medicines...... We need it, and the brothers on the front line need it even more, you say, what can we do? To earn? Should I fight? ”

Lu Yongnian was stunned, still unwilling, "But the brothers ......"

Li Siwei smiled, "Don't worry, after drinking Huang Laodao's penny soup, the brothers have all improved, take care of it, and you will definitely get better." ”

"Alas!" Lu Yongnian sighed helplessly, looking at it, Li Siwei smiled bitterly, "Commander, I know, but when will you raise it?" I don't know if it's going to be someday...... We have to go to the front again, brothers, how can we fight when we go up? ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Yongnian, it's a three-point poison...... Dr. Ning said that even if quinine is used, the brothers will not be better for a while! The effect of penny soup may be poor, however, the effect of the medicine is calmer and safer...... As for going to the front, when the order is down, I will go up, isn't it just a hundred and ten brothers who are sick? Afraid of a hammer! Lao Tzu still has about 2,000 brothers! ”

"Commander, are you going to the front again?" Liao Heiniu strode in, sweat beading on his big face, but he couldn't hide his joy, "Where are you going this time?" ”

Li Siwei glared at him, "Turtle'er, it's not easy to live here?" ”

Liao Heiniu nodded hurriedly, "Lao Tzu doesn't want to lie on the hospital bed like his brothers, it's good to be on the front line, it's best to go to a place where malaria doesn't get it." ”

"Somewhere to get malaria?" Li Siwei was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Where is the Wuhan battlefield where malaria is not available......

Where is malaria on the battlefield in Wuhan? Not only did the national army suffer greatly, but even the Japanese invaders were tortured unspeakably! Diseases are always the same!

After the battle of Qianshan, malaria broke out, and the Japanese invaders retreated in Qianshan City, unable to launch a large-scale attack, and the war on the north bank of the Yangtze River almost came to a standstill!

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Japanese invaders are still attacking frantically, and this Japanese invaders are the Botian detachment that captured Anqing.

The predecessor of the Hakuda detachment was the Taiwan Mixed Brigade, and although it was only the number of a brigade, the brigade commander, Major General Hatata Shigeichi, once openly declared that its "strength is equivalent to that of a first-class division." It is precisely because of this that Major General Sakai was angry that the Hatian detachment took the lead in capturing Anqing that day.

The Botian detachment was a very wild force, and when it set out from Zhenjiang, the officers and men did not bring any luggage and no food and straw, and everything was settled from the war.

With the coordination of the 11th Navy's 11th Sentai Brigade, the Kure Harbor 4th and 5th Special Marine Corps, and the 2nd Combined Air Force, the Hatian Detachment traced the river west all the way. On June 13, it was trapped in Anqing, on the 24th in Huangshan, Xiangshan and Xiangkou, on the 26th in Madang, and on the 29th in Pengze.

Hukou is located at the junction of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, more than 60 miles away from Jiujiang River in the south, is the only gateway of Jiangxi waterway, known as the "key to the rivers and lakes", Zhou Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taiping Army and even Li Junlie in modern times have been here to fight troops. If the mouth of the lake fell, the Japanese ships could go straight into Poyang Lake and threaten the flank of the defenders of Nanxun Road and the rear of the Third Theater...... In view of the important military value of Hukou, the Military Commission has always attached importance to its defense. When Ma Dang was in danger, the chairman of the committee wanted to go to the front in person, and then Chief Chen took the initiative to supervise the battle, but the battle situation did not improve, and when Peng Ze fell, Hukou was already in danger.

In Jiujiang, all the generals in the Third Theater Command gathered, and everyone was solemn and silent.

After a long time, Chief Chen raised his head and looked around at the generals, "Just the twenty-sixth division!" ”

"Yes!" The generals were in high spirits...... The 26th Division guards the mouth of the lake, it should be able to do it!

In the first battle of Songhu, the 26th Division suffered nine out of ten wounds, and the whole army was the crown, retreated from Shanghai, and has been resting in the Jingdezhen area, adding a batch of new Czech-style equipment, supplementing a batch of heroic Sichuan Zhuangding, and the combat effectiveness has been improved, looking at the troops near Jiujiang, only the 26th Division can take on the important task of defending Hukou!

"Send the report!" Chief Chen sighed secretly, "Order: The 26th Division immediately rushed to the aid of Hukou and stood by!" ”

At the headquarters of the 26th Division, the commander of the 6th Division gently put down the telegram with a solemn face, "Immediately call the commanders of all brigades!" ”

"Yes!" The herald hurried away.

The chief of staff was full of doubts, "Division commander......"

Master Liu didn't wait for him to finish, and handed over the telegram.

The chief of staff picked up the telegram and looked at it, and was immediately shocked, "Hukou is a dead place surrounded by water on three sides, and our division is almost all new recruits, and its combat strength has just begun to recover...... Fierce and auspicious! ”

Division Commander Liu nodded, his expression solemn, "This is not bad, but the military order is like a mountain!" As long as our army has the courage to fight to the death with the enemy, it may not be impossible to defend the mouth of the lake! Isn't Dachang a dead place, didn't the brothers also carry it? ”

The chief of staff was shocked, yes...... The military order is like a mountain! As a soldier, what else can you do besides fighting to the death and carrying hard?! Wasn't that impregnable line of defense built by the soldiers with flesh and blood?!

Li Siwei, who was far away in Macheng, naturally didn't know anything about this, he was sitting at the regiment headquarters, looking at the steaming fish soup in front of him and smiling, "Turtle's, why did you even drink the fish soup?" As he spoke, he glanced at Liao Heiniu, who was feasting, "Heiniu, do you still want to go?" ”

Liao Heiniu was sweating profusely, and when he heard this, he raised his head and smiled, "If you can drink a bowl of fish soup every day, which turtle son wants to leave?" ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Huang Hua glared at Liao Heiniu, "Drink a bowl every day?" I'm afraid that the brothers of the special service company will die of exhaustion! ”

Liao Heiniu sneered, "Turtle, you really have two special service companies, you can catch snakes when you go up the mountain, and you can catch fish when you go down the water...... With you here, I really don't have to worry about eating and drinking! ”

Huang Hua was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Battalion Commander Liao, the brother of the special service company is not a hunter!" ”

Liao Heiniu smiled, "There is a hammer difference?" If you don't want to, let the second battalion go. ”

Everyone chimed in, "Yes, yes! If you don't want to do it, let us go. ”

Li Siwei smiled, "You guys are in a hurry!" As long as the training of the special service company is useful, it will be promoted in all departments......"

"Really?" Everyone was in high spirits and nodded their heads, "This training will definitely work!" If the practice is completed, the brothers will be useless when they go into the water like dragons and up the mountains like tigers! ”

The new training subjects are the stuff on the ground, mountain warfare and swimming training...... Of course, these trainings are only Li Siwei's idea at present, and as for whether there is a need to promote them, it depends on the training results of the special service company.

However, the benefits brought to the brothers by the new training subjects are beyond expectations, such as fish soup, snake soup, and roast rabbit meat......

Of course, the villagers have different opinions, "Alas, these soldiers are also crazy, and they can eat anything!" I'm afraid that if they stay for another two months, they will eat all the wild things in the mountains, and they will eat all the fish and shrimp in the river! ”

Li Siwei enjoyed it, drinking the bitter penny soup every day, and he was already hungry...... To be able to drink such a bowl of delicious fish soup, how could he resist the temptation?

Li Siwei finished drinking the fish soup and put the bowl on the table, "Comfortable, too comfortable!" Lao Tzu decided that starting tomorrow, an additional battalion would be added to participate in the swimming training. ”

Liao Heiniu perked up, "Cannon, let the second battalion go first!" Hehe, Shi Meng is not well, there are too many recruits in the first battalion...... Why is it the turn of the second battalion? ”

"Good!" Li Siwei nodded, looked at Liao Heiniu with a solemn expression, "It's okay to go, but everything has to be listened to Huanghua!" ”

"Commander, are you going to the front again?" Liao Heiniu strode in, sweat beading on his big face, but he couldn't hide his joy, "Where are you going this time?" ”

Li Siwei glared at him, "Turtle'er, it's not easy to live here?" ”

Liao Heiniu nodded hurriedly, "Lao Tzu doesn't want to lie on the hospital bed like his brothers, it's good to be on the front line, it's best to go to a place where malaria doesn't get it." ”
