Chapter 332: The Birth of the Iron Army (1)

"Back then, none of us thought that you, Sun Yumin, would dare to use the power of a division to shake the Tufeiyuan Division, and also hit them hard. But have you ever thought about it, if the Third Army and the Second Army joined forces to attack them back then, would Tu Feiyuan dare to arrogantly pull out the troops and fight you? They will definitely hold on to the death, even if we can eat him, but when we eat them, we dare to say that the Japanese army has completed the encirclement, and even if they want to run, there is no way to escape. ”

"Because of this incident back then, Qiyu has always been haunted by it, and he has always been guilty of you, and when he assigned the 139th Division to you, he didn't even pause, and immediately agreed."

"You lost a twenty divisions in the first battle of Lanfeng, and now that you have mastered a reorganized army, in the future, your thinking and your eyes can no longer stay in the position of regiment commander and division commander, every order you give is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people, and the development of the entire battle situation."

"Yumin, the commission trusts you, so I put this burden on your shoulders, Chief Chen, I and Qiyu are also looking at you, looking forward to you, hoping that you can build the Twelfth Army into another sharp knife in the Ninth War Zone, and do a better job than the Eighteenth Army."

Although Luo Zhuoying's words had many words to excuse Shang Zhen, what he said was very reasonable. Sun Yumin in the Twentieth Division almost didn't think about it very much, all he thought about was how to eliminate the devil army, until in the military hospital in Wuhan, starting from the bursting embankment at Huayuankou, he began to think about the overall situation. Just like the Huayuankou incident, although it led to his extreme dissatisfaction with the Nationalist government and those in power, he did not deny that this incident did delay the pace of aggression of the Japanese invaders, but the price paid was too great, and the object of the price was not the army, but the ordinary people of Shandong, Henan, and Anhui provinces.

Luo Zhuoying's words also have the meaning of wooing Sun Yumin, he is the number one general of the civil engineering department, and he can be regarded as half of the head of the civil engineering department, the eighteenth army is already the trump card of the Central Army, if it can have a descendant of the lineage, then the civil engineering department will undoubtedly become the most powerful one in the central army, and even Hu Zongnan's first army, known as the "first army in the world", can only be expected. I believe that not only he thinks so, but other people such as Gui Yongqing, Yue Jishi, including Li Pinxian, who is about to take charge of the 21st Group Army, will also have the idea of pulling him away.

Luo Zhuoying's words fell silent for a while, but Sun Yumin still sat on the chair, his eyebrows tightened, and his eyes were just staring at the cup of tea on the coffee table that was still steaming, as if time had stood still for him.

"Military seat, military seat......" Chen Lai took a small step forward and nudged him a few times, she didn't know why Sun Yumin was in a daze at this moment. When Sun Yumin looked back at her, she said softly, "Chief Luo is waiting for you to reply." ”

Sun Yumin came to his senses at this time, and looked at Luo Zhuoying with a guilty face, but before he could speak, he heard him speak again.

"Yumin, I know that you have a lot of doubts in your heart at the moment, or there are a lot of things and truths that you don't understand. It doesn't matter, none of this matters, and when you go through one period of life after another, you will know these things. You have a lot of advantages, there are also a lot of shortcomings, these are very important, but if you just infinitely amplify the advantages, and forget your own shortcomings, one day you will fall very painfully and very badly, I am a person from the past, I will explain this personal experience to you, I hope you can take it to heart, and it is not in vain for me to go on this trip. ”

Although Luo Zhuoying obviously said these words with the purpose of winning him over, no matter what, for a person who has never known his life, if he can say that this large period of life is really a life experience and experience, for Sun Yumin, this is really a valuable asset.

In the past, only Chen Bui taught him bitterly, and the rest, such as Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi, how could there be someone like Luo Zhuoying, who had accumulated decades of life and taught him, with these life experiences, Sun Yumin would take a lot of detours.

So at this moment, his heart was full of respect for Luo Zhuoying, and he kept nodding his head like a primary school student.

"Yumin, my brother also wants to say a word to you, I hope you can also take it to heart." Shang Zhen also interjected.

"Chief Shang, please speak."

"Yumin, sometimes you don't need to be so perfect, but some flaws on your body will be better, you have to keep in mind the eight words 'great wisdom and foolishness, heavy weapons without edge', too much to show your edge may not be a good thing, maybe you don't hurt the tiger, the tiger hurts people's hearts. In everything, you have to think about leaving a little room for yourself, leaving a way to retreat, which will be of great benefit to you and your soldiers. ”

"The teachings of Chief Luo and Chief Shang Yumin should remember to be hard-working, and they will be more careful in the future to live up to the painstaking efforts of the two chiefs."

Sun Yumin's words are from the bottom of his heart, what he lacks now is this kind of warning and reminder, some are just ambitious and high-spirited, looking back, this is really an extremely dangerous thing. His fate is nothing, but he still involves many brothers and fifty or sixty thousand soldiers, so he has to think about them.

Luo Zhuoying and Shang Zhen were very interested and willing to teach, while Sun Yumin was an open-minded and studious person, although there was a Zhou SC next to him who made him quite jealous, but it did not hinder the harmonious atmosphere in the room.

Qian Jin and Deng Dongping prepared some captured trophies for the three of them, except for the command knife, the devil's general's epaulettes and military uniforms, etc., were all given to the three as gifts, and Sun Yumin didn't have anything like money, but there were some valuable items in the flat stone, but it was in Anhui, and it was out of reach.

Luo Zhuoying and they will not be rare Sun Yumin's money, but these rare devil items make them excited, which is beyond Sun Yumin's expectations, he originally thought that these things in his hand were too shabby, but he didn't expect them to have an unexpected effect.

"Yumin, Chief Chen said that although there are not many weapons, equipment and clothing supplies in the material warehouse of the Ninth War Zone, he is willing to try his best to replenish the Twelfth Army first. When we go back this time, you can send troops to collect this batch of supplies with us. Qiyu and I are also happy to see that the 12th Army can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, so that the Ninth Theater will be like a tiger with wings. ”

"Yes, Chief Luo, I'll arrange it right away." For the weapons and equipment sent to the door, Sun Yumin will only be too insufficient, how can he refuse it.

Without thinking too much, the matter of receiving equipment and materials must have been Qian Jin, although he knew the identity of his co-CD member, Sun Yumin was not worried at all, because there were more co-CD members in his team, for example, he knew Tang Chunhong. If he can accept the identity of Chen Lai's military commander's spy, he will not care about the existence of Communist Party members around him, as a descendant, he wishes that there would be more people around him, such as good brothers like Zhou Hainan and Zhou Hong, will he be too much!

In addition to Qian Jin, Sun Yumin also sent Dai Cunxiang to escort a regiment. At this time, after the 12th Army was readjusted, it was in ruins, and it could be said that it basically had to be restarted, not to mention the troops below, and even the military headquarters of the 12th Army temporarily only had Sun Yumin, the commander of the light pole, and the rest could be imagined.

After sending Luo Zhuoying and them away, Sun Yumin began to have an extremely busy day, the battle plan drawn up before would definitely not be able to be implemented, and it was still possible to fight Wuxue, but it was definitely not the right time to attack Jiujiang, which was deep and high in the city.

Since you want to change your life, it's better to start all over again. With this idea, Sun Yumin simply gave up attacking Wuxue and calmed down to reorganize the troops.

Sun Yumin asked the troops of the 20th Division to start building fortifications around Ruichang, and he didn't attack the devils, but he couldn't guarantee that Ryotaro Nakai would make trouble. Let the Seventh Regiment start to repair the city defense of Ruichang, he plans to take Ruichang as the center in the next two or three months, and building defense is a must to be done.

After listening to Luo Zhuoying's words, Sun Yumin was deeply touched, he was originally a person who loved soldiers like a son, and now he cares more about the soldiers, the original money and financial expenses of the Twelfth Army have been taken away with Sun Tongxuan's departure, except for a poor 20th Division and the 81st Division that is still on the road, Sun Yumin actually didn't get anything, and feeding more than 20,000 people in these two divisions is not something that can be done with empty words, there are several problems in front of him, which need him to solve immediately.

First of all, food, whether it is the 20th Division or the 7th Regiment of the original Huoshan Independent Detachment, the food brought is not much, although it has not yet reached the point of running out, but if you do not hurry up to prepare enough food, this big trouble will come soon. For the generals to know that once the army runs out of food, the combat effectiveness will immediately dissipate little by little. The squires and people in Ruichang City have experienced constant wars, and they have long been looted by devils, and they can't get food to supply the troops at all, so if they want to raise food, they can only go to other places, and Ruichang has no choice. The two lakes are the land of fish and rice, and it is not difficult to buy enough food for the Twelfth Army, but the difficult thing is that Sun Yumin is a poor army commander, and he can't come up with the money to buy grain now. In desperation, Sun Yumin had to send Zhou Shanjun back to Huoshan with some people, he needed a lot of money, and now the only ones who could support him were Liu Wenzhi and Gu Hongying in Biandanshi.

The second is the formation of the military department. This is also a headache, not to mention the big problem of selecting and appointing deputy commanders, chiefs of staff, and so on, and the selection of staff officers alone is a troublesome matter. The command of a unit is the brain of the unit, and whether the brain operates clearly and clearly depends on whether the unit can win and win. Regardless of the fact that these staff officers only deal with some disorganized information and draw plots on the operational map, it is their seemingly inconsequential work that brings together the bits and pieces of the battlefield so that the commanders can quickly make judgments and issue operational orders. Sun Yumin profoundly understands this, in the past, when he only controlled one regiment and one division, he didn't have to think too much about these things, but now that he is in control of one army and four divisions, he can't be sloppy. After a few days of hard work, he suddenly found a way from Tang Chunhong, who came to deliver the message, and the people who came out there were all good at fighting, if they could get some support from there, wouldn't this problem be solved. After finding an opportunity, Sun Yumin asked Chen Lai to guard the door and told Tang Chunhong about his idea, he knew that an underground party member like her who was placed in the core position would definitely have a way to get in touch with that side. Sure enough, soon there was news from there, full support, and excellent military and political cadres would be selected to come over on the same day, but if he wanted to ensure the personal safety of these cadres, Sun Yumin would naturally pat his chest and agree, if he couldn't do this, would he still be worthy of being the commander of an army?

In the same way, the appointment of these brothers around me is not an easy task, and the commanders of other divisions are even more knowledgeable how to balance them. Like Zhanshutang, although he is an old acquaintance, but suddenly the two of them changed from equal to superior, if they are not handled well, there will definitely be big problems, so Sun Yumin's first thought is to appoint him as the deputy commander; There is also Liu Wenzhi, who is far away in Huoshan, he also wants to appoint them as deputy commanders, but because Bian Danshi does not have a high-power radio, he can only give up temporarily, he asked Zhou Shanjun to return to Huoshan, he specially brought a high-power radio station to contact his hometown and the Twelfth Army; There is also Zhang Xiaohu, the commander of the 20th Division, how to appoint him is also a difficult problem, Sun Yumin finally decided that he would remain in his original position, and added him the strength of one brigade, and the other two brigades also restored the establishment of the three regiments, and then handed over to him the more than 20 vehicle-mounted guns of the 101st Division captured this time, and temporarily set up the artillery regiment first, which can be regarded as a disguised promotion and comfort; and Deng Dongping, it stands to reason that the position of the commander of the new 34th Division belongs to him, but what should Li Tiedan do? In the past, when he was in the 20th Division, he was the brigade commander, and Deng Dongping was only the deputy brigade commander and regiment commander, if he was appointed as the commander of the new 34th Division, the stupid bear may not make trouble, but if the stupid bear was appointed as the division commander, he was not at ease, this guy who does not like to use his brains, although he will build the 34th Division into an iron-like army, but he may not be able to suddenly get hot-headed on a certain battlefield, once such a situation occurs, it will really become irreparable. No matter who among the two of them is appointed, the other will definitely be chilled, and after thinking about it for a long time, Sun Yumin finally thought of a way, he decided to appoint Deng Dongping as the chief of staff of the army, Silly Xiong as the commander of the new 34th Division, and Dai Cunxiang as the new 34th deputy division commander and head of the 7th Regiment. The problem of the three of them was solved at once, and Dong Wenbin, if it was the former Sun Yumin, he would definitely not want to appoint him as the commander of the 139th Division, but after two years of precipitation in Huoshan, he deeply understood that if he wanted to build the 12th Army into an iron army and a steel army, he must be like a devil and have an artillery and armored force with high mobility! And the most suitable person to command this army around him is, of course, Dong Wenbin, who is both loyal to himself and highly educated, although this army is still a bubble, but this is what Sun Yumin is determined to do, he must do this, and he firmly believes that Dong Wenbin will lead this army well.
