Chapter 209 The short-lived brigade commander
On the night of 11 October 1938, the night after the Ninth Theater won the great victory at Wanjialing, the Japanese invaders infiltrated Daya Bay with more than 20 warships and launched an attack on Guangzhou under the cover of aircraft.
Yu Hanmou, the commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations, abandoned Guangzhou without a fight, and the next day, the Japanese invaders landed and Guangzhou fell.
On 25 October, the Fifth and Ninth Theaters retreated on all fronts.
In the early morning of 26 October, the chairman of the NPC National Committee and Australian adviser Duan Na flew out of Hankou for Nanyue.
On 31 October, the chairman of the National People's Congress issued a "Letter to the Military and Civilians of the Whole Country for the Withdrawal of the National Army from Wuhan" in Nanyue:
"The main significance of the military defense of Wuhan was to block the westward advance of the Japanese army, to consume the enemy's strength, to prepare rear communications, to transport the necessary weapons, and to relocate the industries in the southeast and central parts of our country for the construction of the southwest......
This transfer of troops is not only a turning point for our army to actively advance and turn defense into offense, but also a pivot for the complete war of resistance to turn defeat into victory......
From now on, we must be more mournful, more tenacious, more steadfast, more hardworking, and more courageous in order to devote ourselves to the full-scale war and the enrichment of the base areas of the War of Resistance, and bring about the final victory! ”
In any case, the battle to defend Wuhan, which was fought by nearly a million soldiers for four and a half months, has come to an end, and the "Defending Wuhan" that once resounded throughout the country has become a perfect sound!
By mid-November, the Fifth Theater had completed its strategic transfer, with the command post of the right-wing corps set up in Shayang, the left-wing command post moved to Zaoyang, and the headquarters of the theater commander set up in Xiangfan.
At this time, Li Siwei had arrived in Shangxian County with his brothers and began to rest, for him, the battle to defend Wuhan has long ended, the sorrow and bitterness in the battle have been gone, and there is still hope for life!
To live is to bounce back and keep fighting!
It's just that those dead brothers have left him forever!
The crescent moon hung silently in the sky, and the silver glow sprinkled on the camp of the new 16th Brigade, and the snoring in the night wind was gently drifting.
The small courtyard of the brigade headquarters showed a dim light, and the lights in Li Siwei's room were not extinguished.
Li Siwei sat at the table, with a cigarette in his mouth, a pen in his hand, and a booklet spread out on the table, sometimes writing hard, sometimes frowning and contemplating, sometimes looking sad, sometimes sighing.
"Pang Renyi ......"
Li Siwei picked up the pen again, wrote a name lightly on the booklet, and flashed in his mind the thin and simple young man, the young man with the name of "benevolence and righteousness", and the young man who was almost forced to cry by himself in Bagong Mountain......
"Benevolence and righteousness," Li Siwei put down the pen, held the half-lit cigarette, and looked at the name quietly, his voice hoarse, "In the next life, I hope you can be born in a peaceful and prosperous ......"
As he spoke, his voice trembled, "Then no one will force you to kill...... In that case, you can really be a righteous gentleman! ”
"Knock Knock ......"
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Miao Zhenhua's voice sounded outside the door, "Regiment Commander, it's time for you to sleep, you have to go to the division headquarters for a meeting tomorrow!" ”
"Ahem," Li Siwei perked up and cleared his throat, a little impatient, "Lao Tzu knows...... You've been here three times? Don't you have to sleep? ”
So saying, he stood up, turned off the lights, walked to the bed in three or two steps, and lay down.
"Bang ......"
The footsteps outside the door faded away.
After a while, the light came on again, and Li Siwei sat down at the table again, lit a cigarette, and picked up the pen......
Shang County is located in southern Shaanxi, east of western Henan, south of northern Hubei Province, Shang Yu ancient road is one of the main trunk roads of Qinchi Road, since ancient times, it has the name of "Jingchu throat", it is the traffic artery of Chang'an leading to the Central Plains and the southeast places. In the second year of the Republic of China, the abolition of Shangzhou was renamed Shang County, and in the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, the fourth administrative inspector's office was set up in Shang County, and the division headquarters of the head of Guan was located in Shang County.
Early the next morning, Li Siwei took Miao Zhenhua into the city in a hurry, and it took a while to find the division headquarters.
The division headquarters was located in a small house in the south of the city, and at this time, the division headquarters was thin, and the house seemed a little empty.
When Li Siwei walked into the conference room, Division Commander Guan was sitting in the main seat with a sad brow, and five or six officers were sitting on either side, expressionless, obviously not in a high mood.
"Siwei is here," Senior Commander Guan smiled when he saw Li Siwei come in, "Okay, everyone is here, and the meeting can begin." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Brother, I'm sorry," Li Siwei smiled abruptly, "The first time I came, I almost didn't find the division headquarters!" ”
With that, he walked briskly to the table and sat down at the back of the table.
Master Guan was stunned for a moment, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's no wonder you, Lao Tzu has to be accompanied by guards every time he goes out, otherwise he won't be able to find his way back...... Which one is called Lao Tzu, the division commander, Brother Mo has no guns! ”
The generals were stunned and looked a little lighter.
Division Commander Guan looked around at everyone and slowly opened his mouth, "The brothers here are all from different units, some have just been withdrawn from the battlefield, some have just returned from injury, some are from the Northeast Army, some are from the Northwest Army, some are from the Sichuan Army, and some are from the Henan Army...... However, no matter where you come from or where you have served before, as long as you come here, you are all my brothers, and you are all part of this soon-to-be-established Fifth Division, and since you are here, our goals are the same...... That's fighting devils! Therefore, I hope that the brothers can work with someone Guan to bring out a team that can fight and win! ”
"Yes!" The generals perked up, "Please give the commander orders!" ”
No matter where they come from, they have fought against the Japanese invaders, and they have a blood feud with the Japanese invaders!
"Okay," Senior Commander Guan nodded with satisfaction, "Since you want to lead the team, you must have guns, people, money and food...... Money, food, and guns naturally have been allocated from above, but this man ...... The brothers have to figure it out for themselves! ”
"This ......" all the generals were stunned and looked hesitant, "Won't the top allocate troops?" ”
"Alas," Commander Guan sighed, his gaze slowly swept over the generals, "You all know that since the Battle of Songhu, our army has fought bloody battles repeatedly, and the front-line departments have suffered serious attrition. Now the fighting in Wuhan is a little slowdown, but the Japanese are still eyeing the northern Hubei and Hunan and Jiangxi areas, and many troops are still fighting on the front line, so the supply of troops will be replenished to them first...... Brothers, don't make a fuss! ”
"How?" Everyone shook their heads, "Isn't it just recruitment?" It's not difficult! ”
Li Siwei naturally doesn't have any opinions, isn't it just recruitment? It's not hard!
There are so many hot-blooded men in China!
"Good!" Division Commander Guan breathed a sigh of relief, "According to the instructions of the Military Commission, the temporary fifth division will abolish the brigade-level structure, and there will be four regiments with 2,000 people each. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Siwei nonchalantly, "Therefore, there may be a big change in personnel, I hope you will be prepared." ”
Everyone was shocked and had different expressions...... Among them, there are many people who have military merits and want to go further, and there are also people who are brigade commanders!
After the meeting, the crowd dispersed with a lot of heart.
There is a saying that "a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier", they are all people who have been in the army for a long time, although in the face of little devils, they can sacrifice their lives and forget about death, but this does not mean that they will have no ideas at this time!
Master Guan stopped Li Siwei, "Siwei, come here." ”
Li Siwei was stunned, turned around and walked towards Division Commander Guan, "Division Commander, what do you have orders?" ”
Master Guan looked at him, "This time, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you......"
"Don't be aggrieved," Li Siwei's expression was full, "Actually, I never thought that I could be the head of the regiment, let alone feel aggrieved...... Yesterday, I went to see Staff Officer Zheng, and his leg was lame, and he only said at that time, 'What is a leg?' At least Lao Tzu is still alive! 'Speechless to the office!' ”
Speaking of this, Li Siwei stopped, there are some words, he doesn't say them, Master Guan already understands!
"Alas," Master Guan sighed, "yes, if this is wronged, then which of the brothers who sacrificed on the battlefield to reason, and which of the generals who sacrificed on the battlefield to reason?" ”
"Division Commander," Li Siwei smiled, "as long as you can still bring your original brothers, you will be satisfied!" ”
"Don't worry about this," Master Guan laughed, "Even if Lao Tzu wants to divide your group, the people above will not agree...... Someone up there is looking at your 66th Regiment! ”
"Thank you, Commander!" This time, Li Siwei was really relieved.
Out of the division headquarters, Li Siwei took Miao Zhenhua and hurriedly returned to the camp and convened a meeting of the generals.
When Li Siwei said that the brigade-level establishment would be revoked, everyone was stunned.
Staff Officer Gu couldn't sit still for a while, "Then what should I do?" ”
He was the staff officer of the newly formed 16th Brigade, and at this time, as soon as the brigade-level structure was abolished, he must have been the first to be affected.
Li Siwei frowned, "Lao Tzu doesn't know either...... However, you don't have to worry, the division commander should have an arrangement! ”
"Lao Gu," Liao Heiniu smiled, "I'm afraid you're going to be promoted, but it's a pity that the cannon, he's afraid that the turtle is the shortest-lived brigade commander......"
Everyone was stunned and burst into laughter.
Li Siwei glared at him, "Can you turtle speak?" What is a short life? When the bullet saw Lao Tzu, he had to take a detour! ”
"Yes, yes," Liao Heiniu smiled, "Your turtle's life is big!" When you came out of Nanjing, the old men thought that you couldn't survive, and within two days, your turtle was alive again...... Don't worry, even if the old men are dead, you can't die! ”
"Turtle's," Li Siwei hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't say that Lao Tzu who can't die is uneasy to hear...... A knife! ”
"What's the matter, Captain?" Wei Yidao, who was in the corner, hurriedly stood up.
"Good thing," Li Siwei smiled, "You take some brothers to the city in the afternoon and come back with more wine and meat...... The brothers suffered a lot in Wuhan, and they added a few dishes to them in the evening! ”
"Okay," Wei Yidao frowned when he heard this, "Don't worry, the regiment commander can make sure that the brothers eat comfortably." ”
"Regiment commander," Lu Yongnian stood up, his face embarrassed, "There are not many funds in the regiment......
When he was in Fujin Mountain, the reward of the 66th Regiment was not distributed, and the rest was all placed with him, and a lot of money had been spent before and after.
Li Siwei was stunned, "How many are left?" ”
"There are still one hundred and eighty-two oceans left," Lu Yongnian said and was about to dig out the account book, "There are still ...... copper plates"
Li Siwei hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him, "It took first...... Lao Tzu has a few more here. ”
As he spoke, he went to escape from his pocket, and when he took out an empty pocket, he remembered that Miao Zhenhua had kept all the money, and hurriedly called Miao Zhenhua, "Zhenhua, give Lao Tzu's ocean to Deputy Lu Tuan." ”
"Good!" Miao Zhenhua agreed and hurriedly went out.
"Lao Tzu has two more here," Liao Heiniu hurriedly took out a handful of money and put it on the table, and the ocean mixed with the copper plate rang loudly, "Lao Tzu spends fiercely, that's all there is left!" ”
"Black Bull," Li Siwei hurriedly dissuaded, "You still have a wife and children at home, and you don't know how to send them back?" ”
"Didn't you send it back either?" Liao Heiniu glared at him and pushed the money in front of Lu Yongnian, "There are fields, land, and shops at home, so I can't starve them...... This money will be wasted by Lao Tzu if he stays on him! ”
After all, Liao Heiniu is a brother in a robe, and he has some family background!
"I also have some," Huang Hua also took out the money, "I'm a monk, it's useless to keep it!" ”
"And me...... I'm just a single......"
"And my ......"
The generals have paid for it under different pretexts.
"It's all stopped for Lao Tzu," Li Siwei's face sank, and he looked around at the generals, "If there are old people and children at home, take back the money; Whoever sent money to his home took it back. Those who are ready to save money to find their mother-in-law will take the money back! ”
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other!
"Take it all back to Lao Tzu," Li Siwei's voice sank, and his eyes swept over everyone, "Your mind, Lao Tzu has received it, if Lao Tzu has to rely on squeezing your money to make the brothers have a good meal, then what has become of Lao Tzu?" ”
The crowd remained unmoved.
"Regiment leader," Lu Quanyou was a little excited, "where is this squeezing......"
Everyone nodded their heads, and they were about to agree!
Li Siwei waved his hand, "It's all accepted!" Blackwater, clean up the seized things, and take everything you don't need to the city to sell...... Oh, Lao Tzu still has a saber with a sheath there, and two watches are also redundant, bring them all! ”
"Leader," Liu Heishui was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant, "Can you sell it?" ”
Li Siwei smiled, "If you can't sell it, Lao Tzu will sell it himself!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Heishui stubbornly agreed.
Since it can't be used, how can there be any good goods? Which one is willing to buy?
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that they would also donate something.
On the battlefield, the seizure is all based on ability, and there is no shortage of little devils with little wealth, as long as you have the ability to kill him, what is on his body is not up to you?
It just so happened that the 66th Regiment fought against the little devils, and there were many wins and losses, and the brothers all had quite a success.
Li Siwei has never engaged in any "seizure and return to the public", you have the ability to seize it, it is yours, and you exchanged it with blood and sweat!
In the afternoon, Liu Heishui took a few brothers to transport the cleaned up booty to the city and began his stall training career.
He was accompanied by Wei Yidao and the brothers of the cooking platoon.
And Li Siwei's nickname of "short-lived brigade commander" also quietly spread in the regiment.
In the evening, as soon as Li Siwei entered the wounded barracks, Wu Ruolan looked at him and made him baffled, "What's wrong?" ”
"Short-lived Brigadier!" Wu Ruolan was suddenly overjoyed, and her big eyes had bent into crescent moons.
Li Siwei's face suddenly darkened, "Liao Heiniu's turtle son, Lao Tzu ......"
"What's going on?" Wu Ruolan laughed even louder, "Or did the black bull give it to you?" ”
Ning Rou also walked over and glanced at Wu Ruolan, "Ruolan, don't make trouble...... It's good to shout behind your back, but how can you shout in front of the four dimensions? ”
Ning Rou said it seriously, but her eyes were already full of smiles.
"Forget it," Li Siwei had to smile bitterly, "If you like to scream, just call it, anyway, Lao Tzu is not a brigade commander!" ”
