Chapter 80: King De
Early in the morning, under the leadership of Li Han, all the officers above the company level of the 145th Brigade left the city ten miles early and came to the suburbs to wait for Shi Shi'an's arrival. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hello Commander!"
Seeing Shi Shi'an coming, Li Han hurriedly stepped forward, greeted Shi Shi'an repeatedly, and shouted his previous name when he was in the 626th regiment
"Call me the head of the regiment, are you kid owed?" Shi Shi'an greeted everyone with a smile, and then said to Li Han.
Seeing the head of the regiment again, Li Han felt very cordial, since the first day he crossed to the Republic of China, he was in the 626th regiment, Shi Shi'an has always taken good care of him, plus he has no relatives in this world, it can be said that the 626th regiment is like his home.
Now that he can fight with the regiment commander again, Li Han feels that he has nothing else to ask for, and the next days are to fight Little Japan wholeheartedly.
"I think it's more cordial to call you the head of the regiment, it's okay not to call you the head of the regiment, or just call you the leader."
asked Li Han to call Shi Shi'an's name directly, he felt quite awkward in his heart, and Li Han could only say that it was all because the head of the regiment had accumulated power in his heart for a long time, which caused him to be a little nervous when he saw the head of the regiment now.
", you are the brigade commander, Lao Tzu is the deputy brigade commander, now it's my turn to call you the commander."
Shi Shi'an directly rejected Li Han's proposal, and rarely ridiculed him.
"Captain, don't be playing with me, how dare I be your commander!"
"This is not a joke with you, you are now the commander of the provisional 145th Brigade registered by the Ministry of Military Affairs, I am the deputy brigade commander, if you call me that again, doesn't it seem that I am relying on my old qualifications and making trouble unreasonably, I don't know what to do."
Hearing Li Han's words, Shi Shi'an was very relieved in his heart, this soldier himself did not have a blank belt, but he did not approve of Li Han's approach.
He is a traditional soldier, and everything in the army pays attention to military rules and military law, and in the army, the brigade commander is called the deputy brigade commander, is this like a saying.
"Well, then on a formal occasion, I will call you your position, and in private I can call it whatever I want."
Li Han also knew Shi Shi'an's personality, and he didn't care much about this, so he didn't think too much about the title.
"That's pretty much it, by the way, brigade commander, have you been doing anything against the Japanese recently, I'm about to have something wrong in Hebei."
After only three words, Shi Shi'an revealed his purpose, which was the main reason why he wanted to come to Li Han. In the first battle of Yuguan, the 626th Regiment not only lost the city and land, the troops suffered heavy casualties, but also lost the beloved general An Dexin.
Although the Chinese people did not blame Shi Shi'an for this, he has always had a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over, and he is waiting for the opportunity to get back from the Japanese.
Unfortunately, when the Battle of the Great Wall began, the 57th Army also participated in the war against Japan. But before it was his turn, the young marshal resigned. The Northeast Army withdrew from the Great Wall War of Resistance, and he missed the opportunity to fight the Japanese army.
"I said, Deputy Brigade Commander, you are too anxious, the brothers of the 14th Regiment have traveled thousands of miles, and they haven't had time to catch their breath. If you want to fight devils, you don't have to rush for a while, will there be fewer devils in the land of China now! ”
Li Han replied with a bitter smile, Shi Shi'an's question made him a little big. However, he can also understand the mood of the old leader, the battle of Yuguan has been more than half a year now.
Seeing that the Japanese army was attacking cities and territories on his own land every day, but as the head of a regiment, he didn't even have a chance to fight with the devils, and I really don't know how he spent most of the year.
The two talked all the way, and soon came to the brigade headquarters, although it was said that the 14th Regiment was adapted from the 626th Regiment, and many people in the regiment knew Li Han, but he was familiar with each other before.
Li Han used to be a company commander, and he spent most of his time in the first battalion, not to mention Wang Dazhu, who didn't even have many opportunities to go to the battalion headquarters.
But from now on, we will have to eat in the same bowl, and it is naturally essential to know each other.
After Shi Shi'an came to Duolun with the 14th Regiment, Li Han had nothing to worry about.
In the following days, Li Han was rarely relaxed for a while, and Gao Jian was taking care of all the affairs in the brigade, and he was now mainly focusing on the training and construction of the troops.
Shi Shi'an's arrival not only greatly strengthened Li Han's troops, but also brought him a lot of technical troops, especially the artillery that Li Han was in short supply.
Originally, the 14th Regiment had a regimental headquarters under the direct jurisdiction of two artillery companies, a mortar company and a flat-fire artillery company. Li Han transferred the anti-aircraft artillery company to the artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters.
In order to compensate the 14th Regiment, Li Han transferred four 82 mortars to them, so that the mortar company of the 14th Regiment had 10 82 mortars.
Although the mortar is not as good as the anti-aircraft artillery of the 37th battle, the mortar is the only thing that Li Han can handle now, and the cannon of the artillery battalion cannot be split.
In addition, because Shi Shi'an has been serving as the commander of the Northeast Army, he has a wide range of contacts and acquaintances within the Northeast Army, and many volunteers on Chahar's side are from the original Northeast Army.
When he knew that there was a shortage of artillery in the artillery battalion of the brigade headquarters, Shi Shi'an didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly took this matter on him.
This made Li Han overjoyed, artillery is his most scarce branch of the army now. Knowing that Shi Shi'an was bent on finding the Japanese unhappy, Li Han deliberately set up the main force of the 14th Regiment between Fengning and Longhua counties, and at the same time transferred the artillery battalion to Fengning so as to support Shi Shi'an in the battle at any time.
Li Han made the provisional 145th Brigade prosperous in Duolun, and his influence gradually expanded to several counties around Duolun.
Forced by Li Han's great strength, before the main force did not free up their hands, the Japanese army in Rehe had to choose to temporarily avoid the edge, guard the major key cities in Rehe, and act as a turtle with a shrunken head. Of course, the means of stumbling in the dark will definitely not stop.
In addition to the Japanese, the life of the Mongolian prince has not been easy recently, although Li Han's jurisdiction is only four counties, but Li Han's doglegs, Wang Wei, the commissioner of the Duolun Administration, has spread his administrative area to the Xilin Gol League and the Chahar League.
A large number of herders were seduced by the flamboyant commissioner Wang Wei of the Duolun Administration, and demanded that the nobles abolish the tribute system and distribute the grassland to them to take care of.
There were already many herdsmen of the tribe who were bewitched by Wang Wei and specifically opposed the nobles, and the sinister and cunning Wang Wei not only provided weapons and equipment to these lowly herdsmen, but even often directly sent troops to help the herdsmen resist the Wang army.
It can be said that Li Han's existence has seriously affected the interests of the Mongolian princes, even if Yamashita Seiichi does not send people to urge them, they are already uniting with each other and preparing to deal a fatal blow to Li Han.
Since Duolun had not yet been divided into a city during the Republic of China, in order to allow Wang Wei to manage the government affairs of the four counties justifiably, Li Han had no choice but to add the title of commissioner to him.
In order to allow Li Han to stay in Duolun with peace of mind, the Chahar Provincial Government no longer continued to make trouble in Chahar, and readily approved Li Han's request, which ordered Wang Wei to be the commissioner of the Duolun Administration.
After Wang Wei took office, he immediately began drastic reforms, not only spreading the set of policies implemented in Guyuan to the other three counties, but also carrying out targeted reforms against the Mongols scattered in Chahar Province.
As early as when Li Han was in Guyuan, he was silently implementing the policy of the cultivators having their own land, and he did not seek that the northern region could enter the era of industrialization, but at least he wanted to ensure that every common man became a "landlord", so that he could unite the people's hearts and let the common people support him in fighting devils.
Now that the territory has expanded, of course, there is no shortage of land, but the population is extremely scarce, and the whole province of Chahar has a little more than 2 million people, but the land area is nearly 280,000 square kilometers, which is really not an ordinary vast and sparsely populated area.
In this case, those Mongolian princes also kept a large number of slave herdsmen in captivity, can Wang Wei let them go. There is a shortage of manpower on their side, and they dare to use the herdsmen as slaves, isn't this intentionally doing the right thing with themselves?
Besides, what age is it now, the Republic of China has been more than 20 years, and these feudal and slave systems of the Mongolian princes can no longer keep up with the trend of the times.
Since the Mongolian lords are determined to oppose themselves, then I can only accept them. Wang Wei was born in the military system, and although he is now transferred to work in the government department, he still likes to do things directly.
Of course, no matter how hateful the Mongolian prince is, he is also Chinese, and he still can't be as rough as he is to the Japanese devils.
So before that, Wang Wei still carried forward the rules handed down by the Han people for thousands of years, and decided to salute the banner owners of the major Mongolian banners before the soldiers.
But it's a pity that Wang Wei seems to have miscalculated his strength or deterrence, and those Mongolian princes didn't buy it at all.
Although the Mongolian prince is not as beautiful as in the past, he is also a prince and has military power in his hands. Although some were unwilling to offend Wang Wei openly, they also found all kinds of excuses to shirk it.
These people are very good at finding reasons and making excuses, for example: these slaves and herdsmen are also the property left by their ancestors, although we are the descendants of the generation, but we can't even keep the family business of our ancestors, otherwise we will have no shame to see our ancestors and ancestors when we die.
In short, what they mean is that it is your own business that you Wang Wei wants to reform, don't keep thinking about digging into our corners, and you can't let us nobles go bankrupt to support your reform.
There were still some people who didn't buy it at all, and the messengers sent by Wang Wei were driven out without even entering the door of the house.
The leader of these is the leader of the Xilin Gol League, the Mongolian diehard King Dewang, who will be a famous Mongolian traitor in the future.
At this moment, King De is still dreaming of the emperor of the Great Mongol Empire, as a descendant of Genghis Khan for unknown generations, King De has always taken the restoration of the glory of his ancestors as his goal, relying on the help of the Japanese over the years, and has developed thousands of cavalry under his hands.
However, judging from the performance of King De who wanted to rely on the Japanese to establish the Great Mongol Empire, King De may not have studied for a few years, at least he must have failed the subject of history.
Otherwise, he should have known that Kublai Khan launched two expeditions to Japan in a row, and if it weren't for the stubborn resistance of the ancestors of Little Japan, he might have been wiped out by the ancestors of King De.
Now King Toku even fantasizes that the Japanese will help him establish the Great Mongol Empire, isn't this a typical confession of thieves as fathers? King Toku's own history exam failed, do you think that the Japanese are the same as him?
