Chapter 31: The Birth of the Strengthening Regiment
Li Yutang led the military commanders of the Third Division to the high platform made of earth in front, spread his mouth and said,
"Brothers, you abandoned your family and children for the country, shed your blood in Shanghai, and fought bloody battles with the Japanese army, you are heroes; I, Li Yutang, salute everyone! ”
Li Yutang said this, and gave a standard military salute to the more than 5,000 officers and soldiers standing below, but the scene was still silent......
Li Yutang continued, "I know that most of the people here were brought back from the Songhu battlefield by Regiment Commander He, maybe some people called you prisoners, and some people told you to rout!" But in my eyes, you are all heroes; Why did you become captives and routs? In my opinion, it is because our country is poor and poorly equipped, not because the brothers do not fight to the death, but because the gap between the strength of our superiors and the devils is too great, and the brothers suffer! To tell you the truth, Commander He brought you back to let you continue to do things with the devils! However, as the elite of the Central Army, our Third Division has guaranteed equipment and salaries, so you don't have to worry about this, as long as you become a soldier of my Third Division, no matter what unit you were in before, as long as you are willing to stay in the Third Division to fight devils, I, Li Yutang, promise you that the Third Division will never leave a brother! You are all veterans trained in the Songhu battlefield, with rich combat experience, our third division was also disabled some time ago, although now a lot of recruits have been added, but I hope you can go to other regiments, lead the recruits to fight devils together, as long as you go to other regiments, squad leaders, platoon leaders, company commanders and other officers, as long as you have the ability, I will be promoted on the spot! ”
Li Yutang saw that many veterans below finally had a look in their eyes, and there was a drama in the secret way; And then he said, "Don't talk nonsense! Next, I will let the heads of each regiment go directly to the dry goods! ”
"Next, please invite Zhao Xitian, commander of the 8th Brigade, Wang Zhaohua, commander of the 13th Regiment, and Pan Zhen, commander of the 15th Regiment; Come on stage and give you dry goods! ”
Zhao Xitian, commander of the Eighth Brigade, strode up to the earthen platform and said to the more than 5,000 officers and soldiers below, "What the division commander said is right, I am Zhao Xitian, the commander of the Eighth Brigade, as long as my Eighth Brigade comes, those who have the ability will be the platoon commander and company commander, and those who are not strong enough will be the squad leader." The two regiments below my 8th Brigade have a lot of shortages of officers. Now let the two heads of the regiment talk to everyone, see if I, Zhao Xitian, are talking nonsense! ”
"Brothers, I am Wang Zhaohua, the head of the 13th Regiment." Wang Zhaohua, the head of the 13th regiment, saluted and said,
"I won't say much else, I'll just say it; At present, in our 13th regiment, there are 8 company commanders and 20 platoon commanders, and there are basically no squad leaders left. If you are interested, you can list it now! What do you think? Brethren? That's enough sincerity! ”
Li Yutang and Zhao Xitian looked at the shaking heads below, the voices of each other, and looked at these veterans expectantly, but no one was willing to move...... Zhao Xitian waved his hand and motioned to Pan Zhishang, the commander of the 15th Regiment;
"Brothers, I am Pan Zhi, the commander of the 15th Regiment. The situation of our regiment is similar to that of the thirteenth regiment, and the vacancies are all there; As long as you are my soldiers, the formal, Czech, Maxim, and mortars are all yours! The guy in our hands is hard, and we can beat the little devil's son of a bitch! What do you think? Pan Zhen, the head of the 15th Regiment, looked at the brothers below with hope.......
Still no one moved.......
Zhou Qingxiang, the commander of the 18th Regiment, leaned into Hu Yunshan's ear and said, "Brigade commander, let's not go up and be embarrassed!" They are all brothers of the Ninth Brigade, so it will be difficult to talk about meeting in the future! ”
"Labor and management are not ready to let you go up!" Hu Yunshan rolled his eyes and said,
Hu Yunshan strode to the earthen platform, did not salute, and shouted below,
"Brethren, perhaps many of you know me; That's right, I am Hu Yunshan, the commander of the Ninth Brigade, I have met you in Zhenru Town, and now I, Hu Yunshan, officially welcome everyone to join the 16th Regiment and join the 9th Brigade; But I'm not stopping my brothers from getting promoted and getting rich, as long as I am willing to go to the 13th and 15th regiments, I Hu Yunshan will give each of them a dowry of two oceans! I'm sending you to office in person! Yes, this brother, that's you. Come up! Hu Yunshan pointed to the tall brother below and said,
"Sir!" The highest and largest brother brought out of the captive camp came out and saluted, saying,
"What's your name? Tell me, why don't you want to go to other regiments to get promoted and make a fortune! Hu Yunshan asked,
"Sir, I am from the 105th Division of the Northeast Army, my name is Liu Wu, and the brothers usually call me stupid; I haven't studied, there are six brothers in my family, and I don't know what the big reason is. But now that the devil has called, I want to fight the devil well, and if I am still alive after the devil, I will go back to my hometown in the Northeast to give my wife a pension; Didn't think about anything else! Liu Wu said,
"Then would you like to go to other regiments?" Hu Yunshan asked,
"No, Chief He led us all the way to break through the devil's blockade, I saw it, I was really fighting with my own life, in the face of the devil's blockade and interception, Chief He didn't let us be cannon fodder, and he led people to charge; My mother told me that to be a man, you must know Entu. Chief He saved us with his life, and after that, I sold him more than 100 catties stupidly, and I didn't want any military salary, I didn't need it; Just be full! Hey! Liu Wu smirked,
"Well, get in the ranks! If you can't eat enough in the future, just come to the brigade to find me and see how I smoke He Jianye! Ha ha! Hu Yunshan said,
"Sir, can I follow Chief He in the future?" Liu Wu asked,
"Well, I approved it, and you will follow Captain He in the future! Now rest assured! Hu Yunshan said,
"Okay, thank you, sir!" Liu Wu entered the list with a smile,
"Never give up, fight to the end!" One of the three remaining platoon commanders of the captives shouted,
"Never give up, fight to the end!!" More than 5,000 people shouted,
.......
"Commander, what do you see? What to do? Zhao Xitian asked,
"What else can I do? Get back! Li Yutang walked down the earthen platform and walked towards the gate of the barracks......
A group of brigade commanders and regiment commanders who were looking at each other hurriedly followed......
"Commander, stay! These 5 turned out to be the third division, I will do what I say, you can bring it back together! He Jianye chased after him with five defeated soldiers of the original Third Division......
"Well, well, He Jianye, you don't let down the expectations of the brethren for you! Be sure to bring them!" Li Yutang said,
"Yes, Commander!" He Jianye finally had a smile on his face.
After sending off the division commander and brigade commander, He Jianye was rare and generous, and got more than ten carts of pigs, beef, mutton, and a large amount of chicken and duck meat from outside, and shouted when he entered the camp, "Deputy Regiment Commander Xia, tell the cooking class, add dinner tonight, these meats are cooked, and they are full!" ”
"Ahh Commander, you can't do it in the future! How much food is left for our 16th Regiment? Deputy Head Xia looked at more than ten carts of meat and said,
"Hey, hey! Labor and management are happy today, I have a treat! I'm afraid of hair! Go ahead and arrange it! He Jianye said with a smile,
"Legasaki, come here! Come with me to the brigade headquarters and invite the brigade commander and regiment commander Zhou to come over and have fun together! He Jianye laughed......
