The next day, Zhang Mingyu convened a meeting of officers at and above the battalion level and officers directly under the brigades.

At present, the Reading Brigade has four regiments, a cavalry company, a guard company, a special forces team, a sniper squad, an engineer company, a reinforced machine artillery battalion, and a field hospital, with a total of more than 5,300 people.

The commander of the first regiment is Zhang Biao, who is also the deputy brigade commander of the Reading Brigade, Ling Tianbao is the commander of the second regiment, Wang Tiehan, the former deputy commander of the third regiment, is the commander of the third regiment, and Lai San is the commander of the newly formed fourth regiment. The equipment of the 2nd, 34th, and 3rd regiments is all said to be an armed regiment, and the first regiment is a semi-German armed regiment and a semi-armed regiment.

Sun Dali, commander of the machine artillery battalion, Chen Xiaochun, deputy battalion commander, Xu Sanduo, commander of the engineer company, Ma Liqun, commander of the cavalry company, Zhang Haisheng, captain of the sniper team, Li Gang, captain of the special forces detachment, and Tie Niu, commander of the guard company, are all combat units directly under the brigade.

In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the troops, Zhang Mingyu assigned each regiment an artillery company directly under the regiment, and an artillery company consisted of four 81 two 60-mm mortars and four grenadiers, and in order to ensure that the machine gun battalion had sufficiently powerful artillery firepower, Zhang Mingyu did not disperse the 12 Type 92 infantry guns into an artillery company.

After everyone arrived, Zhang Mingyu spoke first: "Brothers, I have already discussed with Ma Hongkui in Ningxia to jointly form an arsenal, so my brigade will march to Ningxia!" You can put forward any comments you have. ”

"Are we going to give up the base here?" Before Zhang Mingyu finished speaking, Lai San stood up and said: "We have such a good mass base here, and the people support us so much, so we just left?" ”

"Yes! Brigade, I have never seen the people so enthusiastic, I have been a bandit for half my life, and the people have always scolded me behind my back, how good it is now! Ling Tianbao also said.

Zhang Mingyu said with a smile: "Your idea is also right, but we went to Ningxia to better develop our own strength, and then be more capable of destroying the devils, we are here for the time being, if the devils ease up, they will mobilize heavy troops to attack us, and then it will be too late, only if we have our own arsenal, with new weapons, we can fight more powerfully!" ”

"However, if we give up here, after we leave, the devils will definitely take revenge on the folks here!" Zhang Biao also said.

"I have a compromise." Liu Cheng, who had just been appointed chief of staff by Zhang Mingyu, said.

"What's the solution?" Zhang Mingyu asked.

"You can let the soldiers go door to door to inform the villagers that we are going to transfer, and if they are willing to follow us, they can go with us, if they don't want to stay." Liu Cheng said.

"That's a good idea!" Zhang Mingyu said: "Lai San Ling Tianbao, this glorious task will be handed over to you!" ”

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission," the two men said, standing up.

I heard that the Reading Brigade was leaving, and tens of thousands of people around it would follow the Reading Brigade, which made Zhang Mingyu unexpected, bringing these tens of thousands of people would definitely affect the marching speed of the troops, and if the devil found out, he would definitely send troops to intercept it. The consequences will be unimaginable.

In the end, Zhang Mingyu decided to transfer in batches, and contacted Ma Hongkui to send troops to respond, Zhang Mingyu decided to cover the evacuation of the people with the new fourth regiment and the third regiment with the weakest combat effectiveness.

The cavalry company was dispersed as scouts to serve as a guard fifty miles away, and more than 30,000 men, women, and children began to pack up nervously, some of the people drove the sheep, some of the people led the pigs, and some of them carried the pots, and began to follow the first batch of soldiers towards Ningxia.

In order to prevent being discovered by the devils, Zhang Mingyu chose to set off at night, but the momentum of more than 30,000 people still alarmed the Han Jian spies who inquired about the devils, and they reported the situation to the devils.

After a night of marching, 30,000 people and more than 2,000 soldiers only walked less than 50 miles, such a slow marching speed made Zhang Mingyu very headache, sure enough, what he was most worried about was still coming, although the devil did not send infantry, but there were still four 92 fighters painted with plaster flags in the sky, they found the people who were slowly moving forward, like hungry wolves rushed towards them, the four devil aircraft machine guns emitted a criminal tongue of fire, and the people who were slowly moving forward were shot and fell to the ground.

Liu Cheng, who was in charge of covering the people, shouted: "Villagers, hurry up and hide, the devil plane is coming!" But his shouts were completely drowned out, the common people saw the plane in the sky, frightened to run around, trampling on each other, heavy casualties, four devil planes flew back and forth at the opposite crowd strafing, angry soldiers set up the machine guns in their hands, at the devil plane that was firing fiercely at the people is a shuttle, although it did not hit the devil plane, but still scared the devil pilot.

Zhang Mingyu got the news of the sneak attack of the devil plane, he ordered the machine gun battalion to rush to reinforcements with the captured 88-type anti-aircraft gun, this 88-type anti-aircraft gun is still relatively easy to make, and when Sun Dali rushed with the 88-type anti-aircraft gun, he happened to see a devil fighter being slaughtering the people, Sun Dali and a few artillerymen quickly ran the run, and then began to lock on and aim at the devil plane that was flying at ultra-low altitude chasing the people to fire.

After Sun Dali locked on the devil plane, he pulled the launch rope, and a shell dragged the flames to the devil plane, the devil pilot found the shell, he hurriedly pulled up to dodge, but the rate of fire of the 88-type anti-aircraft gun was 20 rounds a minute, a shell came one after another, and the second shell accurately hit the belly of the climbing devil plane, and exploded with a "boom", the devil plane disintegrated in the fire, and the wreckage of the plane was scattered everywhere.

The remaining three devil planes found that their comrades had been shot down, and shouted: "Baga, the people of China have anti-aircraft guns" After speaking, they hurriedly pulled up, Sun Dali locked on a devil plane again, he pulled the launch rope, and one by one the seven-centimeter shells dragged the "tail" towards the climbing devil plane, and hit the tail of a slower climbing devil plane, which dragged a thick long smoke and crashed into the high mountain in the distance. (The Type 88 anti-aircraft gun had a firing height of 8,000 meters.) ）

Seeing that the little devil's plane, which was still showing off its might just now, was shot down, the people and soldiers let out a burst of shouts. This anti-aircraft gun unexpectedly killed the two planes of the devil, which can be said to have made a great achievement. As long as enough anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are produced in the future, there is no need to be afraid of the devil's planes.

Zhang Mingyu ordered the people to march quickly, but with little success, and some people were not willing to throw away their pigs and sheep at all! The march was extremely slow!

ps: Crying blood for recommendation!
