The deputy name of the second cargo group is Gao Dahai, from Anshan, Liaoning, and he is a Manchu.

After yesterday's regimental headquarters meeting, he followed Sun Yumin back to the second battalion station.

Sun Yumin did not show any displeasure, because the regiment commander had spoken, and the deputy of the Gao regiment only came to supervise the battle and could not participate in the command.

In fact, he was very happy in his heart, because when he came back from the regimental headquarters, he also brought back a lot of supplies, including pork and rice, military coats, and a thousand oceans. There were four Maxims and twelve Czechs, three mortars and two machine guns, and all of them had more than three bases. What's more, he brought back the only two large barrels of gasoline left in the regiment. This is because the regiment commander feels that he owes the second battalion in his heart, as long as Sun Yumin speaks, as long as there is something in the regiment, the regiment commander does not even frown.

When Sun Yumin returned from the meeting, it was almost evening, and he still remembered the brothers who were training outside the city, and urged the second platoon leader who helped the kitchen and the old Liu Tou of the cooking squad to speed up the cooking. asked the guard squad to take care of the deputy of the high regiment, and ran to the training ground outside the city with the stones.

When Sun Yumin arrived, he heard the password of the drill queue from a distance, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, didn't he let them practice digging trenches, individual pits, and anti-artillery holes? How did you practice on the queue.

The guard saw the battalion commander and his guards from a distance, and hurriedly ran to report to Li Tiedan, the commander of the third company, and Zhou Hong, the commander of the fourth company.

When Sun Yumin approached, he heard Li Tie's thunderous voice: "Stop." All of them are there, take a break, and stand upright. ”

All the officers and men of the second battalion acted in a uniform manner, with orders and prohibitions, and their military posture was majestic.

Li Tietan ran in front of Sun Yumin and saluted: "Camp, the whole second battalion is in the queue drill, please instruct." ”

Sun Yumin questioned Li Erren in front of the officers and men of the whole battalion why he didn't train according to his own requirements. couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and said lightly: "Take it back to the station!" "I haven't even returned the gift.

Li Tiedan did not take the troops back according to Sun Yumin's instructions, but took a step to the right, put down his saluted right hand, stretched forward, made a gesture of invitation, and shouted: "Please check the position!" ”

Before his words fell, hundreds of people on the training ground shouted in unison: "Please check the position!" ”

The sound of the six or seven hundred resounded in the sky like thunder, and it was like the roar of thousands of troops, oppressing people's nerves. But in Sun Yumin's ears, this cry was like a heavenly sound. This is the army he wants, and this is what his subordinates should be.

Behind the team, in the area designated by Sun Yumin in the morning, the three lines of defense were separated by several hundred meters, stretching in a zigzag. Foxholes, machine-gun emplacements, and anti-artillery holes, both connected and unconnected, are staggered, and sacks of sandbags in three trenches constitute the last line of defense.

In Sun Yumin's eyes, this position seemed to have become a huge chessboard, and those trenches and foxholes were like chess pieces, scattered and orderly, scattered but not chaotic.

Sun Yumin walked from the nearest end of the position to the farthest end, carefully examined it, and finally a smile bloomed on his face with a deep scar, and with a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Go back to dinner." ”

During the ten or twenty minutes that Sun Yumin inspected the position, the troops of the Second Battalion stood at the training ground, silent. When Sun Yumin smiled and said those words, the entire army exploded like firecrackers that had been lit. The warriors jumped for the most part, and hundreds of hats were thrown into the sky. For these ordinary soldiers, the commander's words and smiles are related to their everything. Especially a good officer like Sun Yumin is really rare. The events of the morning made many of the veterans particularly angry, and after explaining to the recruits why the camp was so angry, many of the new soldiers felt ashamed and worked very hard to dig their positions.

Therefore, this position was dug quickly and well, and the defense depth system advocated by Sun Yumin was vividly displayed.

The deputy of the Gao regiment was so drunk that he couldn't find the north during the dinner in the evening, and the officers and men of the second battalion toasted him one after another. Although he was the deputy of the second regiment, Xie Chengrui always pressed him, when did he enjoy this kind of treatment. The people of the Northeast are also good at drinking, and the result of many reasons is that the deputy of the high regiment was carried back to the battalion headquarters.

Sun Yumin was so happy to let the deputy head of the second cargo drink instead of him, and he couldn't drink a few glasses anyway.

In the reports of several squad and platoon company commanders he sent out to do business, Sun Yumin sorted out the results of today's work.

Liu Wenzhi, the commander of the first company, spent more than 200 yuan to get back two large barrels of gasoline from his buddies in the logistics department of the headquarters, plus the two barrels of gasoline he got back from the regiment headquarters, and now he has four large barrels of gasoline in his hands. Tie Niu, the leader of the reconnaissance squad, ordered a lot of pebbles and river sand, and had already pulled part of it to Guanghuamen during the day, and it would have to continue tomorrow. The second platoon leader recruited four or five hundred migrant workers near the vegetable market and the wharf, and they will all arrive at Guanghuamen early tomorrow morning. The guard platoon commander did not find the stone field, but he found a workshop specializing in making tombstones, where there were many stones, but he did not know whether it was to Sun Yumin's liking, so he did not buy it back for the time being. The secretary of the division, Qian Jin, had already completed his work, and he wanted to wait until the pre-war mobilization to tell the officers and men of the battalion in person, but he did not expect that when the secretary went to the post office to remit money, several soldiers of the second battalion would see it. At this moment, the officers and men of the whole battalion were shocked, in this troubled era, ten oceans is not a small amount of money, and a family of three can save money to ensure that they will not starve for more than half a year. The officers and soldiers of the second battalion were all secretly glad that they had followed a good commander, and only then did they have the shocking scene at the afternoon training ground. The work of Zhang Xiaohu, commander of the second company, has also been completed, and the identity cards of the officers and men of the second battalion are already being worked on in a hurry. Deputy Zhou Battalion did not invite the regiment commander to come over to teach the two artillery squads, because the regiment commander held a meeting either at the headquarters or the brigade headquarters all day, and later at the regiment headquarters. He didn't have time to come over to teach, but fortunately, he had a fellow villager who was a company commander in the artillery battalion of the corps, so Zhou Hainan invited him over. Liu Tou, the old man in the cooking class, has the heaviest job, he has to buy and do at the same time, and he is so busy that he keeps turning like a spinning top. When reporting to work, the usual loud voice like a broken gong was hoarse like a mosquito, and even Sun Yumin had to lean his ears to hear it. Fortunately, the work of the secretary has been completed, and tomorrow Lao Liu Tou can just take care of the stall of cooking, and bargaining with people to do business is not his specialty. Tomorrow there will be more meals for hundreds of workers, and the cooking class will not be easy.

By the time all this was done, it was late at night. Liu Tou, the old man in the cooking class, personally cooked a bowl of noodles for Sun Yumin, and there were two poached eggs lying on it.

He couldn't refuse Lao Liu's kindness, and he was really hungry after being busy for a while, so he poured this big bowl of noodles into his stomach like a wind.

Early the next morning, Sun Yumin got up. He took the second battalion and ran around the city for another ten kilometers before returning to the battalion headquarters to wash.

The wake-up number in the morning still woke up the neighboring 1st battalion, 3rd battalion, and 4th battalion. When several battalion commanders came to the second battalion to settle accounts with Sun Yumin with anger, Sun Yumin had already led his troops to run in the cold winter wind. Sitting in the battalion headquarters was the senior deputy regiment commander, who was also awakened, and he was rubbing his head, which was still aching from a hangover. So, after receiving a training, the three battalion commanders walked out of the second battalion headquarters in a gloomy manner.

In the morning of the queue training, Sun Yumin asked the deputy battalion commander Zhou Hainan to organize it with several deputy company commanders. He took several company and platoon commanders to Guanghuamen.

Arrived at Guanghua Gate. It was found that both the outer and inner Tsuyoshi were full of people, except for the pedestrians on the road, most of them were migrant workers recruited by the second platoon commander yesterday.

When Sun Yumin arrived with everyone, there was a commotion here, and the second platoon commander couldn't control the scene at all. He stood on the table hoarsely, but it was still a mess underneath.

Seeing Sun Yumin, the second platoon commander seemed to have met a savior, and hurriedly shouted: "Camp, these people don't listen to the call at all, and I don't have any ruts at all." ”

Sun Yumin patted his head a few times and said, "Learn a little." ”

He ordered Shi to find a big gong and sent a few heavily armed soldiers to the chief to carry a basket of the ocean.

As soon as the big gong and silver yuan were in place, Sun Yumin jumped on the table, and the stone carried the big gong and climbed onto the table. Sun Yumin nodded at the stone, and he rang the big gong in his hand.

The chaotic scene immediately became quiet, Sun Yumin grabbed a handful of silver yuan from the basket and shouted: "Brothers and sisters, do you want to take these oceans? ”

"I want to ......" everyone said in unison.

"Do you want to have enough white flour steamed buns?"

"Want to ......"

Do you want to make large pieces of rice and fatty meat? ”

"Yes!" Everyone in the audience shouted harder.

"That's good, in the future, this gong will be used as an order to start eating."

"Oh oh oh ......" the audience cheered, and the noise started again.

Sun Yumin let the stone strike the gong again, and the people below became quiet again.

"Let's listen to my command, and you will stand over there in muddy water." With a finger of his hand, a clever soldier ran to the place where he pointed and stood still. "Everybody stands in front of my soldier."

There was a commotion in the crowd for a while, and forty or fifty people walked up to the soldier from the crowd.

Sun Yumin saw that many people were afraid that they would not work by themselves, so they all wanted to go over there, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, some are doing work." ”

Hearing his words, the crowd became quiet again.

"I feel like I have two strengths to stand this way." With a finger of his hand, another soldier ran to his position and stood still.

This time there was a large commotion in the crowd, and there were three or four hundred people squeezing over there.

Sun Yumin hurriedly rang the gong in his hand and shouted loudly: "Don't squeeze it all, there is other work to do." "From the crowd, a dozen thin people like hemp poles and a dozen half-sized men who are still minors were pointed out, and the flow of people in this direction was stopped.

Sun Yumin ordered nearly 100 people to help those who were picked out before who knew how to muddy water. Dozens of women and young thin ones were ordered to cook for the cooking class, and they were asked to help the cook, and the three rows of the cooks were replaced to guard the scene.

The other coolies present, Sun Yumin handed over all the coolies present to the guard platoon commander and asked him to take them to transport the stones from the tombstone workshop to the inner city of Cho City Gate, these people are the most numerous, and they will be the hardest.

Sun Yumin instructed his subordinates on how to fight defensive battles and arrange defensive positions on the spot.

The position of the heavy machine gun and the role of cross-firing with the light machine gun were seen by the first and second company commanders. However, the pre-calculated impact point of the mortar and the gridding of the impact point area were unheard of by several company and platoon commanders of the second battalion.

Sun Yumin planned to arrange a large amount of explosives under the Guanghuamen Bridge so that the bridge could be blown up at any time, although the moat was not wide or deep, but after blowing up the bridge, the small Japanese Wang Bahuzi could not open in. Therefore, he ordered that two of the three gates of the inner and outer castles should be sealed, and only the one on the left should be reserved for pedestrians, and sent out gates to carry out inspections from now on.

After arranging all this, Sun Yumin began to arrange the construction of fortifications.

According to his plan, An lifted the large blue bricks and stones laid on the inside of the city gate, dug more than half a meter deep, and then put on the green bricks. One meter from the opening of the city gate, it was built with ash and iron plates, leaving four shooting holes. In this way, the entire door hole and the city tower have become a huge blockhouse, but there is also a very big hidden danger in doing so, Sun Yumin did not make it clear to his subordinates, he can only be lucky, hoping that there will not be that kind of extreme situation.

The small doorway on the right is also to be made into a bunker like the middle doorway. The gate cave of the inner castle was also to be built into two bunkers as the second line of defense.

Sun Yumin also planned to build some pillboxes on the outer city wall and on the city gate tower, the main purpose of which was to protect against artillery bombardment and aerial bombs thrown by aircraft. After the construction is completed, several layers of sandbags are piled on the blockhouses on the left and right sides of these walls, as well as on the top, to reduce the shock wave emitted by the explosion of the shells. In fact, many times, many soldiers did not die under the direct bombardment of artillery shells, but were shocked to death by the shock wave. Sun Yumin deeply understands the truth of this, and naturally strengthens his defense in this regard.

Anyway, everything Sun Yumin arranged was something that these company commanders had never come into contact with and learned.

Liu Wenzhi is better, including Zhang Xiaohu, the eyes of these military commanders looking at Sun Yumin are full of admiration.

A company commander was left to supervise the work at the Guanghuamen site, and the other company platoon commanders returned to the training ground.

After Sun Yumin arranged all this, he felt very relaxed. After coming to Nanjing for so long, he hasn't really gone to visit and see. Today, because all the arrangements have been carried out, I am in a good mood and have the idea of walking around.

So with the stones, the two of them walked aimlessly along the royal street.

Sun Yumin was particularly interested in the strange things on the roadside stalls, and what kind of clay figurines and other things made him unable to move. Stone, on the other hand, has a strong love for snacks from street stalls, and eats them from the street to the end of the street.

Suddenly, an unusually familiar smell came, and the stone looked around and found a stinky tofu stall standing there on the corner of the street in front of him, and six or seven customers were crowded in front of the stall waiting for the stinky tofu in the oil pot to come out of the pot.

Shi almost jumped up in surprise, pulled Sun Yumin and shouted: "Yingza, stinky tofu... Stinky tofu...! ”

Hunan people have an inexplicable love for stinky tofu, a love that is deep in their bones. Sun Yumin is no exception, and he is also very obsessed with this snack. After being away from home for a long time, he almost forgot the taste of home, and almost forgot the taste of his favorite food in his memory.

Sun Yumin looked at the stone in front of him, and happily ran to the stinky tofu stall, but when he came to him, he suddenly turned around, turned around and walked back, walking faster and faster, and almost didn't run.

Sun Yumin wondered in his heart, he didn't know which one this stone was singing, and he just wanted to ask him, but a coquettish voice came from his ears: "You stop for me!" ”
