Chapter 81: The Battle of Jiujiang (4)

"What...... Your Highness? ”

When Su Jin heard this, his face immediately changed slightly, and now there are as many as 100,000 soldiers and civilians retreating from Jiujiang, and he has seen the chaos along the way with his own eyes, and there are still Japanese pursuers behind him, if it is the queen of the palace, God knows what will happen. What is this, for the ghosts of the dead?

Thinking of this, Su Jin's eyes became a little unkind when he looked at Zhang Fakui. Seeing Su Jin's eyes, Zhang Fakui smiled slightly, "Commander Zhang, don't get me wrong, I don't have the idea of treating you as a substitute for the dead, after all, among the troops I have come into contact with along the way, only your unit is the most complete and the most elite equipment." Good steel will naturally be used on the blade, and I will not use you in vain, I can promise here, I will send a telegram to Commander Chen now, requesting that your establishment be changed to a security regiment as a reward for your mission, what do you think? ”

Temptation, this is the temptation of Chiguoguo, but Su Jin admits that this temptation is still very attractive to him, and here I want to explain the difference between the militia and the security group.

The militia is a purely spontaneous armed organization formed by the local people, all expenses are raised by the local gentry, and the soldiers are also formed by the local people, and the government will not bear any costs.

The security forces, on the other hand, are a supplement to the police, which are generally located at the county level, controlled and used by the county magistrates, and are under the management and command of the provincial security command in peacetime. In other words, the security regiment is equivalent to the reserve force of later generations, it is organized, and it also has military pay and supplies on weekdays, although it is not as good as the regular army, but nominally it is much better than the militia regiment. It was Su Jinming who knew that Zhang Fakui was tempting himself to sell his life with a compilation that did not have much gold content, but he still had to admit that he was a little tempted.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Jin raised his head and asked, "Dare to ask Chief Zhang, I don't know how far the chief wants my department to cover and how long?" It must be noted that our unit is just a militia group, and there are still many wounded and new recruits in the army, and the number is also very small. ”

This is talking about the conditions, and the meaning of Su Jin's words is also obvious, let me work hard, but my shoulders are too small, but I can't bear too difficult tasks, otherwise I would rather break up in two, anyway, I am just a non-governmental spontaneous organization, I can listen to your orders or not.

Zhang Fakui laughed when he heard this: "You can rest assured, my requirements are not high, I just ask your unit to stop the Japanese army here for two days, and you can retreat on the evening of August 1, when you arrive, and then your department can withdraw to Nanchang, how about it, this task is not very difficult." ”

The surrounding officers were surprised to see Zhang Fakui talking to Su Jin in a consultative tone, you must know that he is a dignified corps commander, and the army under his command is nearly 200,000, but he still uses such a polite tone to talk to a local militia leader, this system is unreasonable.

However, Zhang Fakui also knew bitterly in his heart, the troops were hastily evacuated from Jiujiang, and most of the troops at hand had been dispersed, and it was difficult to organize an effective blockade. And what I have paid is just the establishment of a security corps, and this kind of effort is only a trivial matter compared to the gain.

"Good...... I promise you! Su Jin decisively agreed: "But I have to make it clear in advance that on the evening of August 1, our troops must retreat, please forgive me for this." ”

"Never break your word!"

"It's a deal!"

With the words of the two, the matter was settled.

Since he accepted the task, Su Jin had no need to stay here, and hurriedly went down the hill to give a new order.

Looking at Su Jin's distant figure, a major asked in a somewhat puzzled and somewhat angry tone: "Sir, it's just the head of a militia regiment, you just give an order." He dared to bargain with you, but he turned against him. ”

"You know what!" Zhang Fakui glared at the major and didn't speak, in fact, when the official reached his part, he had already passed the stage of being angry because of the problem of face, and for a general like him who had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, it was only useful and useless, and face was not worth mentioning at all. The reason why he was so polite to Su Jin was because of the elite troops in Su Jin's hands now, and only this force could complete such a difficult task as the broken queen.

After Su Jin returned to the militia group, he immediately gathered several officers and told everyone about the task he had just accepted. After listening to Su Jin's words, Li Wei said with some dissatisfaction: "Tuanzao, why did so many troops let us break off for them, he really regarded us as a substitute for the dead." ”

"You know what." Su Jin glanced at him: "Chief Zhang promised to give us a security regiment afterwards, and you don't want to think about it, what are we doing in Anhui this time, we are here to fight devils, since we have this opportunity, why should we refuse, even if we can't beat us, we can retreat." ”

At this time, Su Jin's prestige was revealed, because the militia was founded by Su Jin, and all the officers here were also appointed by Su Jin, plus all the materials and equipment of the militia were handled by Su Jin, it can be said that without Su Jin, there would be no militia, and no one would object to Su Jin's order. With Su Jin's order, the whole regiment stopped retreating and began to build fortifications on the slopes on both sides of the road.

"Su Jin, why don't the troops leave?" Just when the troops were busy building fortifications, Dr. Mi from the medical brigade came over, "Aren't we going to withdraw to Nanchang, why did we stop?" ”

Looking at Dr. Mi, who was a little displeased, Su Jin quickly told her the reason. After listening to this, Mi Xiaoya frowned slightly and said, "That's it, but what about our wounded?" ”

Su Jin thought for a while: "You see if this will work, I will send a platoon to escort them to Nanchang." ”

Mi Xiaoya asked again: "But what about our medical brigade, do you also let them stay and fight snipers?" ”

Su Jin said without thinking: "Of course, once the fight starts, you will definitely be used, how can the medical brigade not stay?" ”

"This ...... All right! Mi Xiaoya could only reluctantly agree.

Su Jin shrugged his shoulders helplessly, in fact, he was also selfish in keeping the medical brigade, after all, this hundred or so people were brought by him with great difficulty, once he was not there and let these people go to Nanchang, God knows how many people will be left after he goes back, he doesn't want the tragedy of making wedding clothes for others to happen to him.

In this way, looking at the surging flow of people on the road, more than 1,000 soldiers of the militia began to work intensively on civil engineering......
