Chapter 131: Heading South
There was silence in the temporary headquarters, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. This list of casualties, thin and light as a feather, seems to be as heavy as Mount Tai pressing on everyone's heart.
In the first place, Qin Feng stood with a horizontal knife immediately, his fingers tapping the table rhythmically, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad on his calm face!
After the battle of Chengde Airport, more than half of the casualties of the entire Third Security Regiment were killed.
These brave Chinese soldiers wrote with blood and tears the historical facts of the Chinese nation's unyielding foreign enemies and struggling to fight.
"Whirring ......"
The list of casualties was not long, Qin Feng stared at it for an hour, and finally sighed deeply, a trace of sadness crossed his calm face, but he quickly regained his calm calm.
Qin Feng was also very heartbroken by the heavy casualties, but as a general of the First Army, he must always control his emotions and not let his emotions affect his judgment.
War is not a child's play, nor is it a child's play, but a real sword and a real gun, fighting the enemy. Therefore, Qin Feng needs to keep a clear mind and a sharp consciousness at all times, so that he can give the little devil the heaviest blow and kill all these mongrels who have committed crimes as soon as possible.
"What is the morale of the soldiers?" Qin Feng raised his head and asked Chen Yanguang on the side.
"The morale is good, but the soldiers have also reached a limit and need a stage of cultivation!" Chen Yanguang hurriedly replied.
"Yes! It's time to recuperate for a while! When Qin Feng heard the reply, he couldn't help but nodded.
Coming out of the deep mountains and old forests for continuous battles and non-stop long-distance marches not only consumed the energy and physical strength of the soldiers, but also made their bodies reach a limit, and they must cultivate a stage.
In the past, there was no time and no safe place to recuperate, but now, with a series of big moves made by the security regiment behind the Japanese army, it really dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, and at the same time consolidated the defense of the front line of Pingjin.
More importantly, Qin Feng is very optimistic about this group of veterans who have been trained on the battlefield, these people are the seeds of the Third Security Regiment in the future, as long as these seeds are still there, then the Third Security Regiment will always be the Third Security Regiment. Moreover, Qin Feng also wanted to send some instructors over after a while to concentrate on training the troops and improve their combat effectiveness by a few levels.
Qin Feng raised his face, his gaze swept over all the officers present, and said calmly: "Order the cooking class to start eating early and move at seven o'clock in the evening!"
……
Qin Feng nodded: "Yes, be a soldier and eat food, eat food and be a soldier." I won't say much about other requirements, just abide by military regulations and be brave in battle. ”
"Understood."
Qin Feng called Zhao Wu to the side: "How do you feel about training these days?" ”
"I don't feel anything, it's just standing and walking around, and I haven't even touched the gun yet." Zhao Wu shook his arm.
"There is a day when you have enough fights, and only when you practice discipline can you start training firearms. You people all grew up in the mountains and are familiar with all kinds of conditions in the mountains and forests, and I want you to take the lead in forming a mountain combat company, mainly fighting in the mountains, do you feel competent? ”
Zhao Wu patted his chest: "No problem, my old Zhao can't do anything else, fight desperately one to top ten." Chief Qin took me to the sky, and in the future, my old Zhao's life will be Chief Qin's. ”
"Haha, okay, just have the guts. However, there is no need to be under pressure, mountain and forest operations are also routine operations, and they will not be listed as special combat teams, the main thing is to be familiar with the situation in the mountains, but you may be the hardest soldiers, you can't ride a horse, you can't sit in a car, you have to run on two legs, cross mountains and mountains, cross rivers and streams. ”
"What did Chief Qin say, we mountain people have been running in the mountains since we were children, and this difficulty can't scare us. The treatment given by Chief Qin is the same as that of other soldiers, if we don't treat us as outsiders, we will definitely practice hard, and it will be up to us to fight devils in the future. ”
Qin Feng told everyone a lot, mountain warfare is not just what it sounds like, fighting in the mountains actually contains a lot of knowledge. Wild survival in hills, alpine forests, making and identifying traps, identifying various emergency plants, such as those wild vegetables that can be used to satisfy hunger, those herbs that can be used to cure diseases, which snakes are poisonous and which are non-poisonous.
Qin Feng's words surprised everyone, it seems that the soldiers of the mountain company are not so easy to be a soldier, and there is still a lot to learn.
"What about weapons, what weapons do we have equipped?" Zhao Wu asked.
"In mountain warfare, because most of the area is high and densely forested, the use of rifles is not as convenient as box guns and knives. So the main station weapon is a box cannon and a dagger. One Czech light machine gun and one grenade launcher per squad. If heavy fire is required, a counterweight machine gun can be added temporarily. ”
Zhao Wu was overjoyed: "Chief Qin seems to really value us, the box cannon is a high-end gun, the rate of fire is fast, it hits far, it is still small, and what kind of gun grenade launcher is there, isn't it the small cannon in his hand, with it, what enemy can't be defeated, haha, great." ”
Zhao Wu was also very happy, Qin Feng naturally wouldn't discourage them. The major reorganization of the Third Security Regiment will soon take place, and the mountain company will be an important company in the future, and without a team familiar with fighting in the mountains and forests, it will suffer a great loss in the war of resistance behind enemy lines.
In the evening, Zhang Xiangwu came, he was busy enough in the past few days, and the first thing he did when he came to the office was to pour water and drink by himself.
"How's the team training?" "These people have a good foundation, and they are willing to endure hardships. Now that the training is on the right track, I believe that with three months of training, I can pull it out and fight with the devil. Qin Feng transferred 150 people from Zhang Xiangwu and the special combat team to train the third security regiment.
……
Compared with the cars in later generations, the cars of the 30s are simply simple to the extreme, even if it is a new Ford, but Qin Feng still misses his Beijing Jeep that walked through the mountains and mountains in the later generations. The sedan in the 30s was not very difficult to drive, and Qin Feng was already familiar with the functions of the Ford sedan after driving back to the inn from the devil's warehouse. After returning to the inn, beckoning Da Niu to pack up his things, and after changing into his newly ordered clothes, Qin Feng, who was refreshed, took Da Niu to check out and leave.
The sedan got on the road and drove all the way towards Bengbu, although it also encountered checkpoints set up by the national army or local militia groups along the way, but with Qin Feng's obviously unusual clothes and Ford car, Qin Feng actually did not encounter any trouble on the way to Bengbu. After a short stay in Bengbu for a day and replenishing fuel, Qin Feng and the others continued on the road, and Nanjing was less than 200 kilometers away.
At the end of July 1937, the devil occupied the Pingjin area, Qin Feng followed the retreating national army, from Bengbu to Nanjing more than 100 kilometers away, Qin Feng walked unhurriedly for two days, not that he cherished this Ford car, but the closer to Nanjing, the refugees who took refuge in the south on the way and the army that was ordered to mobilize also increased, until he could see the majestic city wall of Nanjing in the distance, and the stone hanging in Qin Feng's heart fell to the ground.
