Chapter 56 Departure to the Northeast
Fast forward to September 1, 1931.
Before dawn that morning, Tian Zheng ordered the whole group to gather! Fully armed, luggage loaded. All kinds of strategic materials have been prepared to support at least half a month in a row. The troop carriers that had already towed heavy artillery were neatly parked in a phalanx, and the troop trucks of the air defense squadron were also equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun on each of them! The bullet company next to it has been put away, and it can be fired at any time as long as the safety is opened!
The vehicles of the logistics squadron were filled with food, water, uniforms, quilts, tents and other supplies. The squadron's vehicles were loaded with bullets, weapons and accessories, and two trucks were stacked with solid wooden boxes painted with green paint. Except for a few people, no one knows what's in it!
"Command!" Tian Zheng stood on the rostrum and shouted loudly.
All the soldiers immediately changed from a moment of rest to a standing position. The whole scene can be heard clearly when a needle drops quietly!
"The first order of the Liaocheng Security Regiment!" Tian Zheng paused, "The Liaocheng Security Regiment, due to strategic needs, is no longer suitable to continue to use the Security Regiment as the number. Special order, from today, the Liaocheng Security Regiment will be renamed the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment! The composition of personnel and equipment of the original units remains unchanged! ”
"Deputy Commander Ma, raise the regimental flag!" Tian Zheng turned his head slightly and said to March next to him.
"Raise the regimental flag!"
A brand-new regimental flag, about several meters long, was slowly raised. All the people saluted and looked at the regimental flag. On the bright red background, a huge wolf head opened its mouth fiercely, and there were seven sharp teeth shining in it! The regimental flag is very similar to the flag of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Team, and it is also very similar to the team flags of other squadrons. The difference is that the flags of each squadron and the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team are among them, and the teeth representing their respective detachments are particularly eye-catching and narrow. And the regimental flag is the sharpest weapon with seven teeth side by side, tightly forming the wolf's head!
"Wild Wolf Independent Regiment No. 1, order!" When the regimental flag was raised, Tian Zheng began to read out the order of the new regimental headquarters again!
"Due to the possibility of a large-scale war against Japan in the Northeast, all units of the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment were specially ordered to cooperate with each other and work closely together to deal the most painful blow to the Japanese invaders! The Scout Squadron is now on its way! Scout along the route according to the predetermined plan and set up various supply points! Keep reporting at all times. The Communications Squadron sends a squad as communications support! The rest of the squadrons began to count their equipment, leaving behind those responsible for staying behind and training recruits! The ratio is one tenth! After returning home, the personnel of each unit immediately changed into the new military uniforms distributed by the logistics squadron for everyone! Okay, now disband, each unit prepares! After reading the order, Tian Zheng asked the squadrons to disband.
"Commander, I'm going to the Northeast too! I'm going to the front! Deng Li waited until the meeting ended and ran to Tian Zheng's office and said to Tian Zheng.
"Deputy Head Deng. This...... Look at you, the last gunshot wound hasn't healed yet, and it's not a loss to go to the battlefield! And the old people in our group are gone, and there is no one at home who can take care of the house, so I don't feel at ease! You can recuperate at home with peace of mind and keep an eye on things at home. If I leave, I'm afraid my family won't be peaceful. Your task is not light! It is estimated that the Japanese agents will definitely come. Maybe Han Fuqu and the Nanjing government will also send people. With your military commandery, many things can be done much easier! The main thing is that I don't feel at ease when others take care of the house. We are fighting on the front line, and there is absolutely no room for error in the supply and logistics of the rear! You have been in the military for so many years, you should be able to understand the importance of logistics and supply, right? Tian Zheng slowly persuaded.
Deng Li didn't say anything more.
"Yes! Teng Li obeys orders! Deng Li turned around and wanted to leave. Tian Zheng stopped her.
"There's a defensive plan here. Later, there are also the storage locations of various important materials and weapons and equipment in the regiment, the materials of various factories, etc., you can take them back and take a closer look, and then make supplements. I believe in your ability, we must let those ghosts come and go! But you have to take care of your own safety! Tian Zheng took a document to Deng Li and admonished.
"Well, I know, you should be careful. You can rest assured about your family's affairs. With me here, if those ghosts dare to come, I will let them stay here forever! Deng Li's voice was like the words of concern of a wife in ancient times to her husband who was preparing to go out to war.
In the early morning of 3 September, Tian Zheng took the information sent back by the reconnaissance squadron in his hand and ordered the whole regiment to assemble and assemble in the northeast according to the predetermined plan.
Since all of them were driven by automobiles, the first motorized march from later generations was perfectly embodied in this era. Motorized marching means that the army uses motor vehicles as carriers to tow weapons and equipment, personnel and materials, and achieve the purpose of rapid mobility, so as to achieve divine soldiers descending from the sky!
The wolf group didn't go fast. At this time, the whole regiment was dispatched with veterans, plus the recruits who were later added to the heavy artillery squadron and the air defense squadron, there were less than 800 people. The reconnaissance squadron that has been dispatched has nearly 200 people, and the communications squadron has about 40 people, and the field survival training of the Langya special combat team is to complete the attack on foot from Liaocheng to Shenyang. The members of the wolf tooth had already been released to the northeast by Tian Zheng to lurk.
Because the reconnaissance squadron had set up a supply point in advance on the way, when the wolf regiment arrived in Chengde ten days later, the morale of the whole regiment was still high, and the officers and men were full of energy, and they did not feel tired after a long march!
When he arrived in Chengde, Tian Zheng ordered the whole regiment to hide and disguise themselves on the spot. And don't let it move on. Because such a large-scale motorized march has attracted the attention of the powerful forces of the warlords along the way. If you continue to advance and encounter the pass of the Northeast Army, you can't say that Shenyang is about to fall, and I will rescue Shenyang, right?
The Wild Wolf Regiment's long-term rigorous training was very effective, and in just half a day, all the units in small groups were scattered and hidden, and they used radio as a means of communication with each other. The vehicles and equipment were also hidden in the mountains, and the dug bunkers were supplemented by trees and leaves as camouflage. The personnel did not set up tents, but according to Tian Zheng's request, they all slept in the carriage.
The cooking class has already started to make food. Tian Zheng had already handed over the production method of the wild smokeless stove commonly used in later generations to the cooking class. Therefore, even if 800 people had to be fed, there was still no trace of a fire in the mountain.
As soon as he finished eating, Tian Zheng received information from the secret posts that had been placed on the periphery and at various intersections, "There is a local warlord army approaching the camp of the Wild Wolf Regiment, numbering about 500 people, and the weapons are all made in Hanyang, and there are no high-power weapons such as machine guns and artillery. ”
Tian Zheng ordered the whole regiment to do a good job of concealment and not to clash with the forces in these places. As long as we wait until after the 918 incident, the Wild Wolf Regiment will be able to go to the front line. You can't get entangled with these warlords here. And after all, this is your own people beating your own people, isn't it?
Although Tian Zheng despised these local warlords who could only bully the people, he still ordered all units to be on guard to deal with emergencies.
