Chapter 61: Helping Hands
"You are from the Central Military Police Teaching Corps? All of them! Salute! The captain and company commander of the Sichuan Army was immediately taken aback when he heard that Fu Zhiyong had reported his home, and quickly put down the Hanyang-made rifle in his hand, solemnly straightened his military hat, and ordered loudly to his subordinates, while he took the lead in raising his right hand to give Fu Zhiyong a military salute.
"Salute ......" "Whoa...... Syllable! The other thirty or so Sichuan legionnaires also hurriedly put down the rifles in their hands, put the rifles slightly at their sides, and saluted Zhiyong with their arms flat to them.
"Return the gift!" Fu Zhiyong also immediately returned a military salute.
“…… Return the gift! Zhang Weidong, who had just run back, didn't know what had happened in this meeting, and the people on both sides who were originally about to do it were now saluting each other, and he quickly put down the shell gun in his hand to salute back.
"Battalion Commander Fu, to tell you the truth, we have heard about you a long time ago, more than 600 people dare to defend Yuhuatai and fight to the death with a division of the Japanese army, my boss Yan will rush to this point and throw himself to the ground for the five bodies you admire, Mo has to say, you are the real national heroes." After the captain and company commander of the Sichuan army put down his hand, he praised Fu Zhiyong with admiration, looking at his excited expression, it seemed that the battle had a great impact on them.
"Company Commander Yan, you have an overreputation, we are soldiers who do this, and it is our duty to fight against the Japanese invaders." Fu Zhiyong smiled and said modestly.
"That's right, Lao Tzu took these babies out of Sichuan to fight against the Japanese invaders, is it also our duty to fight with the little devils in the end, the little devils will not be wiped out in a day, and Lao Tzu will not return to Sichuan for a day, haha......" Company Commander Yan gave a thumbs up to Fu Zhiyong and agreed.
"Yes, if the little devil doesn't destroy the light for a day, we will be dishonored in our mission." Fu Zhiyong suddenly had a good impression of the company commander of the Sichuan Army and said.
"By the way, Battalion Commander Fu, I see that this brother and those later soldiers next to you don't seem to be your troops, the collar badge is actually the army infantry, and the badge is also empty!" Company Commander Yan turned his gaze to Zhang Weidong and the machine gun platoon soldiers who came over at this time, looked at their bright red collar badges and badges representing the army infantry, and asked curiously.
"Oh, you see I almost forgot to introduce to Company Commander Yan, this is our brother Zhang Weidong, Company Commander who was killed all the way from Nanjing City, and those in the back are the recruits I recruited along the way, due to our shortage of uniforms, so we can only get some army infantry uniforms to deal with and wear first." Fu Zhiyong slapped his forehead and then remembered, and hurriedly introduced to Zhang Weidong.
"Zhang Weidong, former Central Army of the National Revolutionary Army, commander of the first battalion and second company of the 259th Regiment of the 88th Division of the 72nd Army." Zhang Weidong nodded to Company Commander Yan and said.
Because Zhang Weidong was wearing a devil's military uniform when he escaped before, he only had a captain rank badge with a red background on his national army uniform, but the badge was empty, because almost all of their military uniforms were brand new, so there was nothing printed on the badge.
Only Fu Zhiyong and the people of their six gendarmerie units are wearing their own military uniforms, and the corresponding troop numbers and positions can be matched, and the collar badge is also a unique pink substrate of the gendarmerie troops, otherwise it will really become a big tabula rasa, that is, it will take several months to investigate to determine which unit it is a soldier after returning to the team, like Zhang Weidong's 72nd Army and 88th Division has long been disabled, where to find their military registration book, it is estimated that nine times out of ten it is vague, just find a serious shortage of troops and plug it.
"So that's the case, I said how could this be, hehe......" Company Commander Yan said with a smile of sudden realization......
It didn't take long for the large army led by Lu Fengying and You Zhiqing to come over, and Company Commander Yan was cold at first glance, and he secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, what has this army experienced, it was so badly beaten, not to mention the soldiers who were seriously injured and carried, there were actually several disabled soldiers with broken hands and feet.
Just when Company Commander Yan was about to ask, more than 200 people rushed over from the outlying positions of the national army, and the first to run in front was a major officer carrying a shell gun, Fu Zhiyong only roughly swept the number of people, and knew that he was a battalion commander before he could see his collar badge and badge.
Because the establishment of the national army is very different from that of the Japanese army, there are often only three infantry companies in a battalion-level unit, and there are more than 300 infantry in addition to the machine gun platoon and some auxiliary arms, which is a full half less than the combat infantry of the Japanese army at the same level, and there is no comparison with light and heavy machine guns and artillery grenadiers.
"Yan Fugui! You fucking left the command post without asking for instructions, and you want to rebel, don't you! As soon as the battalion commander of the major arrived, he yelled at Company Commander Yan with his head and face.
"Battalion commander, isn't this a special situation, I'm not worried about letting others come up and touch the situation." Company Commander Yan Fugui hurriedly rubbed his beard and said with a smile.
"Fuck off your mother's eggs, make excuses for me to change tricks all day long, if you can do anything, I will give you soldiers what to do, you can be used alone, Lao Tzu is also called a disguised expansion." The battalion commander of the major looked at Fu Zhiyong and the others, and at the same time opened his mouth and scolded Yan Fugui.
"Don't, battalion commander, can't I pay attention next time, these people are just familiar with each other, you can't just transfer me away." When Yan Fugui heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand and begged for mercy.
"Okay, don't be poor, tell me what's going on, where did these people come from?" The battalion commander of the major didn't continue to argue with him, and seeing that Fu Zhiyong and they were not hostile, he also turned off the pistol and stuffed it back into the holster, and then he asked Yan Fugui about Fu Zhiyong.
"Battalion commander, that's the case, let me tell you, these people are the Central Military Police Teaching Corps that is defending the Yuhuatai position in Nanjing City......" Yan Fugui immediately introduced Fu Zhiyong and their situation to the battalion commander, and added fuel to what had just happened.
"Oh? Sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame, it seems that your department has suffered a lot of casualties along the way, I am Wu Guowei, the commander of the first battalion of the 211th Regiment of the 95th Army of the 28th Group Army of the Sichuan Army, and I have admired it for a long time. After Wu Guowei finished speaking, he gave a military salute to Fu Zhiyong.
"In return, the Sichuan Army fought bravely and dared to fight bravely against the Japanese invaders, which is really a model for our army." Fu Zhiyong also said with a polite smile.
"Okay, don't shoot the sycophants, since we are all our own family, then don't be polite, since there is no situation here, then I will lead the team back to the defense area, is Battalion Commander Fu going to lead his troops into the city? Why don't you go with me, I happened to pass by my battalion headquarters along the way, I still have some medicine there, you take it with you first, I see that these brothers of yours are not lightly injured, and it is several kilometers into the city from here. Wu Guowei took a look at the situation in Fu Zhiyong's team, and said with some reluctance in his heart.
"Then Fu is grateful." As soon as Fu Zhiyong heard this, his heart suddenly became warm, it was better to go to his own home's territory, although he was not a fellow villager and a fellow brother, but they were all comrades-in-arms, not to mention how he was doing, this heart was enough to make people grateful, for Fu Zhiyong and their current situation, even if it was only to send a roll of gauze, it would be a great help.
After all, because of the shortage of medicines, many new wounded people do not have medicine to treat their wounds, but just tear off a few pieces of relatively clean clothes and cloth strips to strangle the wounds, not to mention disinfection, as long as there is no bleeding and the person is bleeding to death, it is good, as the saying goes, it is better to die than to live......
Then Fu Zhiyong and his entourage followed Wu Guowei to continue to advance in the direction of Xuancheng, Wu Guowei's battalion headquarters was not very far from Yan Fugui's forward defense area, and it was a little more than 500 meters away, because the north bank of the Qingge River was vast, so there were three regiments defending this defense area, which sounded like a lot of troops, and there was almost a division, but once they were dispersed, there were really not many troops.
One of the defensive areas with a length of nearly five kilometers is only 211 regiments stationed, so the troops will be so scattered, when necessary, they can take sectional blockade, delay the enemy's offensive speed, and gain time for the large forces behind to assemble and deploy, to put it bluntly, their division is the cannon fodder division that blocks bullets, and the position of the 211 regiment is the cannon fodder regiment in the cannon fodder division, no unit is more advanced than their 211 regiment, otherwise Fu Zhiyong They will not directly contact them.
The three battalions of the 211 Regiment were deployed in a finished formation, and Wu Guowei's battalion happened to be the first one, and after Wu Guowei took Fu Zhiyong and they took some emergency medicines, he did not let Fu Zhiyong and them go to Xuancheng alone, but personally brought a platoon of soldiers to escort them all the way, and did their best to clear the defense line of the 211 Regiment for Fu Zhiyong and them, so that they could quickly arrive at Xuancheng to treat the wounded.
Because of Wu Guowei, they accompanied them all the way, and several of the outer defense lines of the national army passed through very smoothly and directly, and no one came up to embarrass Fu Zhiyong and them, after all, as long as people with long eyes can see the extraordinaryness of this team.
Fu Zhiyong and the others walked less than a kilometer before they reached the position of the 211 regiment and finally put it, and then Wu Guowei led the team to stop.
"Battalion Commander Fu, if you go further, you will have to leave the defense area of our 211th Regiment, I can't send you anymore because I am duty, you can walk along this road to reach Dongxi Bridge, where you can directly cross the river and enter the city." Wu Guowei stopped and said to Zhiyong.
"Battalion Commander Wu is too polite, I Fu Zhiyong wrote down your favor, and I will repay my brother in the future." Fu Zhiyong saluted Wu Guowei again and said gratefully.
"There's nothing to do...... It's all my own brothers, so it's a matter of saying this. Wu Guowei replied with a salute and waved his hand again and again.
"Then the brother will go first." Fu Zhiyong nodded, and after speaking, he waved his hand and beckoned the troops to move on.
"Battalion Commander Fu, wait a minute, can you take a step to speak?" Wu Guowei glanced at Fu Zhiyong's team, hurriedly stopped Fu Zhiyong, and beckoned to him mysteriously.
