Chapter 50: Recruiting Papers
Rewind time, Shenyang City garrison brigade headquarters.
After Zhang Xinghan finished writing, he immediately ordered the guards to hand over the Shenyang newspaper office for copying and pasting it all over the streets and alleys of Shenyang City.
At the same time, he also ordered the communications company to join hands with the Shenyang newspaper office to immediately find a way to send this recruitment article to the newspapers in other major cities.
The major newspapers in China have their own contact methods, so these are not difficult problems.
After writing the recruitment essay, Zhang Xinghan took off his steel helmet and gun hanging on the wall and strode out of the brigade headquarters.
With a squad of guards on board a military truck, Zhang Xinghan began to patrol the city as he did yesterday.
There are many advantages to persistently inspecting every day, because the soldiers do not dare to be lazy and slack off and neglect their duties, and they can also grasp the thoughts and emotions of the officers and men of the unit in a timely manner.
After all, this army is the foundation of their own life in this troubled era, and they must be firmly in their hands, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise they are likely to fall into a situation from which they will never recover.
At this time, the defense of Shenyang City was mainly responsible for the first regiment, and as mentioned earlier, the first regiment was formed on the basis of the 3rd battalion, which was Zhang Xinghan's henchmen.
Using a regiment to defend Shenyang is naturally Zhang Xinghan's first choice.
Sitting in the passenger seat of the military truck, Zhang Xinghan looked at the backward scene on both sides of the road, lit a cigarette and frowned.
As a historical foreseeer, he defeated the Kwantung Army unprepared, changing the history of 918 humiliation.
But what will happen next in history, he could not predict.
In other words, as the biggest advantage of being a traverser, the prophet, Zhang Xinghan has lost.
Because what kind of trajectory the wheel of history will go in the future, whether it will launch a full-scale war of aggression against China in advance, or whether it will wait until six years later, all this is full of uncertainty.
However, what makes Zhang Xinghan a little relieved is that with his multi-functional watch, he may be able to create a history.
Coming to the eastern defense area of the city, Zhang Xinghan ordered the guards to stop, pushed the door and walked down, and walked towards the city.
The two guards stayed behind to guard the car, and the rest followed Zhang Xinghan without saying a word, faithfully fulfilling their escort mission.
Walking up the city ladder, Zhang Xinghan led people to the city wall, and vaguely heard a discussion.
"Squad leader, do you think we got so many good guys in the brigade? You see the rifle is engraved on it, but it's all foreign yards. A young recruit asked Niu Erzhu, who had been promoted to squad leader, with a Garand rifle in his arms.
"Yes, squad leader, we haven't seen this gun before, it can shoot continuously until the bullets in the magazine are exhausted, which is much more powerful than the little devil's 38 big cover." The other soldier nodded in agreement.
Niu Erzhu frowned and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
And the recruit was obviously curious, and continued: "Squad leader, do you think this weapon was bought by the brigade seat with money?" I heard that the family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Shenyang. ”
"Maybe it's from the Shenyang Arsenal, right? I've heard that the guys in the Shenyang Arsenal are enough to equip an army of 100,000. Another recruit followed.
"Go, we're just soldiers, why do you care so much? If you have military salaries, food, and devils to kill, you can protect your family and defend the country, isn't it enough? Where did the brigade get its weapons and equipment, and you have to explain it to us? Although Niu Erzhu was also very curious, he couldn't help but reprimand.
As a soldier, he knows that there are some things that he can not ask if he can not ask more, and the less he knows, the better.
The two recruits stopped talking dumbly, and just wanted to get up and go back to their posts.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded in vain.
Niu Erzhu and the three of them turned their heads to look when they heard the sound, and saw Zhang Xinghan, the brigade seat, walking over with several burly guards with their heads held high.
The three of them hurriedly stood up and saluted, and Niu Erzhu even opened his mouth to greet: "Brigade." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan saluted and said, "Brothers have worked hard. ”
"It's not hard to protect the family and defend the country." Niu Erzhu hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and patted Niu Erzhu's shoulder to show encouragement, and then walked forward.
Several guards followed and hurriedly followed.
Looking at the back of Zhang Xinghan and the others leaving, the two recruits breathed a sigh of relief.
Or the squad leader is right, ask what should be asked, and don't discuss what shouldn't be asked.
During the inspection, Zhang Xinghan was somewhat surprised to find that he had heard no less than four or five groups of soldiers discussing their new weapons and equipment.
It's a relief to think about it, after all, this batch of weapons and equipment came too suddenly, and the source is unknown.
It is normal for the soldiers to be curious, and it is normal for them to have a lot of discussions, speculation is speculation, just as Niu Erzhu said, as the commander of the first brigade, there are some things that naturally do not need to be reported to them.
In the same way, they didn't dare to ask Shangfeng how the weapon in their hand came from.
Because a soldier is a soldier, and a military is a soldier, this is different from other places, where the hierarchy is strict, the young and the old are orderly, the soldier only needs to fulfill his duties, and the officers at all levels should perform their duties, and no one will be stupid to ask him what he should not ask.
As a matter of fact, in terms of new weapons and equipment, Zhang Xinghan has tried his best to restrain himself in order not to arouse too much speculation and suspicion.
Otherwise, he would not hesitate to replace Gao Zhihang's Shenyang Air Force with more advanced German fighters.
Considering the above factors, and the fact that the current fighters of the air force are still enough to cope with the current war situation, Zhang Xinghan decided to postpone the replacement of aircraft.
Wait until the time is ripe and the strength in your hands is enough to protect yourself.
After inspecting the city defense, Zhang Xinghan saw that the time was already noon, sent a guard back to the brigade headquarters to inform him, and he took a military truck home.
After all, he hasn't been home for a long time, and after the 918 incident, it can be said that he has gone through a life-and-death battle, and when he is free, it is time to go home and have a meal with his parents.
…………………………
In the western suburbs of Beiping, in a dormitory of Yenching University.
Zhang Xinghua and several classmates were packing their bags, and they all participated in the registration, and the school organized a response to Zhang Xinghan's military action to defend Shenyang and defend the Northeast.
They will go north with more than 100 enthusiastic patriotic students from the school and go to Shenyang to join the army and serve the country.
Zhang Xinghua was cleaning up the room, and footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
He looked up and saw Su Hanyun walking over in a cheongsam.
"Teacher Su? What are you doing here? ”
"Hello Mr. Su." Zhang Xinghua and several roommates spoke one after another.
Su Hanyun smiled and nodded, and said to Zhang Xinghua: "Xinghua, you come out, I have something to do with you." ”
"Okay, you wait, I'll be right here." Zhang Xinghua quickly put the remaining clothes into his duffel bag and hurriedly walked out.
Walking side by side with Su Hanyun along the corridor of the dormitory, Zhang Xinghua asked curiously, "Teacher Su, what are you looking for me?" ”
"You also signed up for the school's action to support your brother this time, right?" Su Hanyun asked without answering.
"Yes, not to mention for the sake of national righteousness, now that Kou is brazenly launching a war, Shenyang is always in danger, my brother raised troops to resist, trying to defend Shenyang, to protect the second elder of the family, as a brother, I should go back to fight side by side with him, hand in hand." Zhang Xinghua said.
After speaking, Zhang Xinghua suddenly asked, "What, Mr. Su, what is the matter with you?" ”
A hint of appreciation flashed in Su Hanyun's eyes, and she said softly: "I have decided, I will also go to Shenyang to join the army." ”
"What? Are you going to Shenyang too? Zhang Xinghua was overjoyed when he heard this, and then quickly shook his head and said: "No, Shenyang is already the front line of border defense, and war may break out again at any time, it is too dangerous for you to go, you can't go." ”
"Your brother is right, as soon as the war starts, my Chinese sons and daughters, regardless of men, women and children, all have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war, and I have a passionate and sincere patriotic heart like you, and I will do my part when the national disaster is at hand." Su Hanyun said resolutely.
"However, if it is the men who fight, you women should not interfere." Zhang Xinghua said urgently.
"Hmph, Xinghua, you are also a new intellectual, how can you still have this patriarchal feudal thinking? Besides, isn't the ancients Mulan also a woman? Mulan can join the army, so why can't I join the army? Su Hanyun said deliberately angrily.
"Because, because I don't want you to be hurt in any way......" In a hurry, Zhang Xinghua blurted out.
Su Hanyun's face flushed, she turned her head over, and said softly with a red face: "I don't care, I have to go to Shenyang, besides, isn't there still you?" You'll protect me, won't you? ”
When she said this, Su Hanyun had already turned her head and looked at Zhang Xinghua tenderly.
I have to admit that Su Hanyun still has a good impression of Zhang Xinghua at this moment, he is upright, kind, young and handsome, and has a solid family background, but he never shows off, and he is not like those gentlemen who are as bad as they are.
Zhang Xinghua's heart moved, and he quickly nodded and said: "Well, I will do my best to protect you, and with me, I will not let you be hurt and wronged in the slightest." ”
…………………………
Since Zhang Xinghua's recruitment document was issued, the students of Yenching University are still like this, not to mention other compatriots from all walks of life across the country.
In just a few days, a northward movement arose in Beiping, Pingjin, and even the southern coastal areas to go north to Shenyang, join the army, kill the enemy, and resist the northward movement to save the country.
Countless hot-blooded young people and intellectuals have bid farewell to their relatives in their hometowns, and they have embarked on the journey to the north to join the army.
Businessmen and gentlemen from all over the country generously donated money and materials to Zhang Xinghan's Shenyang garrison brigade.
Countless people of insight sent letters of condolence to Zhang Xinghan and the garrison brigade.
