In 1933, that is, on January 16, the 22nd year of the Republic of China, He Zhuguo was promoted to the commander of the 57th Army, and Li Han also rose to the top, and was promoted to the commander of the newly formed fourth battalion by Shi Shi'an a month after the war, and his military rank was promoted to major. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The promotion is a happy event, and Li Han is of course also happy. However, he knew that the 57th Army would participate in the Great Wall War of Resistance in about two months, and this would be another life-and-death battle, a vicious battle, and his fourth battalion was still an empty shell.

So while being happy, Li Han began to have a headache about the situation of the fourth battalion again. Although Shi Shi'an promoted him to battalion commander, he only added him with a company of recruits, but fortunately, Shi Shi'an also knew that he finally understood his difficulties and assigned all the original company to Li Han.

With the addition of the wounded and some of the recruits he had recruited these days, the newly formed four battalions barely reached three hundred and fifty people, and they finally put up the shelves.

If it was just a shortage of soldiers, it would be easy to do, and in those days, as long as you had a salary and a name, it was not very troublesome to recruit soldiers. The most troublesome thing is the issue of weapons and equipment, and the soldiers must not be allowed to fight with the devils armed to the teeth with their bare hands!

Rifles Li Han is not very lacking, the last time he fought with the Japanese army, many times the devils were all annihilated on the position by them, so Li Han captured more than 300 38 big covers, and they were all new.

Besides, Li Han still has a top boss, since Shi Shi'an asked him to form the fourth battalion, of course it is impossible not to give him no weapons and equipment at all, Li Han received a hundred Type 13 rifles and three Czech light machine guns from him. However, there was not a single heavy machine gun, let alone any other grenadier mortars.

Now the fourth battalion is not as good as the previous company in terms of personnel and equipment, but can a living person still suffocate urine! No, Li Han set his sights on the bandits and Mongol soldiers who were stationed within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Li Han knew that in a little more than one more Yuerehe would fall, and most of these bandits and Mongol soldiers would become puppet soldiers.

Therefore, Li Han felt that his actions were full of justice, whether it was to exterminate the bandits or to co-opt them, it was for the sake of those bandits, because no matter which outcome they were, they didn't have to bear the charge of traitors, and they could still become anti-Japanese heroes.

Li Han's first target was the Mongol bandit army between Jianping and Chaoyang counties, which had also raided Chaoyang County last year in an attempt to lure the Japanese army in Jinzhou into a troop.

It's a pity that these idiots don't know the truth that 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse', and the Northeast Army is incompetent, and it can't be shaken by a few bandits.

As soon as the Mongolian bandits made their move, they were severely suppressed by more than 5,000 people from the two cavalry brigades of the Northeast Army stationed in Rehe, and the Mongolian bandits, who originally had more than 1,000 people, were beaten by the two cavalry brigades like this, and less than 400 people were left to desperately flee to Mongolian Province before they survived.

In less than half a year, these bandits who remember to eat and fight have begun to move again. But this time is different, now they have the support of their Japanese masters, although the number is smaller, but the courage is much greater than last year.

Blatantly entrenched between Ping County and Chaoyang County, robbing and extorting business travelers who come and go, if it is just that, it will be counted, and what is even more odious is that they often rush into nearby villages and towns, burning, killing and looting, ** women.

At this time, the Rehe War of Resistance was already imminent, and the main forces of the Northeast Army had already divided the war zone and were confronting the Japanese army.

This is cheap Li Han, it just so happens that the fourth battalion is short of soldiers, although these Mongolian bandits are bandits, but after all, they have touched the firearms for a long time, and they are much stronger than the recruits they just recruited, although their discipline is corrupt, but this is not about to go to the battlefield, Li Han chose to ignore this.

On this day, Li Han was watching the soldiers train, hundreds of men were working the school field, the snow-white bayonets reflected a dazzling white light under the sun's rays, although the weather outside was cold and windy, but the soldiers were sweating like rain.

In addition to training the fighters in their basic skills and physical fitness, they will also be trained in live ammunition, and this rule of not becoming a rule began the day Li Han crossed over here.

Because Li Han knew that the reason why our army was far from the Japanese army was that in addition to the gap in equipment, peacetime training was also a relatively important reason, and one of the most prominent points was live-fire training.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the excessive losses of the troops in a short period of time, there were no reserves to replenish the troops, and they could only catch strong men to replenish them, resulting in many soldiers of the army going to the battlefield without even touching their guns.

Most of the soldiers of the Japanese army are veterans of perennial wars, and even the recruits are retired reserve soldiers, and these reserve soldiers shoot no less than 100 rounds of ammunition every month.

If you don't take advantage of the fact that the young marshal still has money now, and open more meat for his brothers, when the young marshal steps down, it will be too late. As the saying goes, "If the water passes through the door, it is wrong not to fight" is the truth.

Of course, it is far from enough to rely on the ammunition replenished by the regiment, although the Northeast Army has a great business, but the ammunition that can be distributed to each soldier is still limited.

In order to maintain the consumption of training, Li Han completely went bankrupt, and the oceans that paid the last fee had been almost spent, and Wang Wei came to talk to him every day with a bill these days.

And it's all the same topic, in short, Wang Wei's meaning is "If you continue to practice like this, in less than half a month, the bullets will bottom out, and when you really go to the battlefield, I'm afraid you will have to fight with bayonets." ”

It makes Li Han have a headache when he sees Wang Wei now, in fact, without Wang Wei, Li Han still doesn't know about his own family. And it is precisely because of the thin family background that the recruits only undergo physical training in the first half month of enlistment, and then Li Han began to organize live-fire training, and only firing five rounds of ammunition a day, and it is also a live-fire training every three days.

Unexpectedly, after only half a month of execution, it could not be carried out, and the training of hundreds of people in the fourth battalion has consumed more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition in the past half a month, not counting machine gun bullets. The stock of the fourth battalion was only 20,000 rounds, and the machine gun ammunition was even less than 10,000 rounds.

In order to save bullets, the machine gunners of the fourth battalion are the elite of the veterans, and their marksmanship is much stronger than that of the recruits, and the ammunition consumed during training is much less than that of the recruits, although Li Han can only barely maintain the consumption of machine gunner training.

Now in order to maintain the consumption of troop training, Li Han had to launch a plan to attack the Mongolian bandits in advance, and Li Han also felt that it was time to pull the four battalions out for training.

A piercing rallying call sounded, and the soldiers of the fourth battalion began to assemble rapidly, and in less than five minutes, a team of more than 300 people gathered in the center of the school field.

Although these recruits have been in the army for less than a month, after this period of hard training, they have been able to show a trace of the appearance of soldiers, plus they have more or less fired more than 20 rounds of ammunition in this month, although the hit rate is pitiful, but at least there is no problem with guns.

Of course, the main force in this attack on the Mongolian bandits was still the fourth battalion and one company, and after Li Han was promoted to battalion commander, the platoon commander of the original first company was also collectively promoted by one level.

At present, the fourth battalion has three companies: Lin Youzhi, the commander of the first company, Hu Zhi, the commander of the second company, Zhang Huangshan of the third company, Wang Dazhu of the guard platoon, and Li Yong of the reconnaissance platoon.

In addition to removing more than a dozen elite veterans and squad leaders to serve as officers in the other two companies, Lin Youzhi's company inherited most of the original company, and was equipped with all 38 large cover rifles, so the first company was still relatively strong in battle, even against the Japanese army, it had the strength to fight, not to mention a group of bandits.

In the past few days, Li Yong's reconnaissance platoon has been investigating this group of Mongolian bandits who are entrenched between Jianping County and Chaoyang County to commit crimes.

After these days of hard work, Li Yong found out that the boss of this gang of Mongolian bandits, nicknamed Hei Lao Er, had more than 800 brothers under his command, including a horse team of 400, which was a veritable horse bandit, and his station was in Qingfengling, which was less than 50 miles away from Chaoyang County.

Probably because of the support of the Japanese, the black second child is particularly bold, and the activities have become more and more frequent, when he first came to Rehe from the Chahar region, the black second man only had 400 horse bandits.

These bandits are all the inheritance left by the original boss of the bandits, and they have been fully accepted by the second black boss, which is why he is called the second one, because their boss was killed in the encirclement and suppression battle of the Northeast Army last year.

But in just one or two months, Hei Lao Er has expanded his power by almost half, which shows that Chaoyang County and Jianping County have been harmed by him a lot these days.

No one knew that the second black child was planning to change his name to the black boss, and he always had the name of the second child, and the second black child felt very unhappy.

Although Li Han, who was born in a regular military academy, has always looked down on the combat effectiveness of bandits, but the bandits of Hei Lao Er are not ordinary bandits, and when he really wants to do it, Li Han suddenly feels a little tricky.

This bandit has a team of 400 horses, which is the establishment of a cavalry battalion! Coupled with some newly recruited bandits and hooligans, there are more than 800 people. If you don't make a little preparation and kill them like this, even if you can eliminate this gang of Mongolian bandits, the losses of Li Han's own troops are estimated to be not small.

It's about to be a big battle with the devils, and Li Han doesn't want to lose the vitality of his troops because of a group of bandits, it's not worth it.

The reason why Li Han chose to send troops today is because Li Yong got the news that Hei Lao Er is out again today, this time the target is Xie Zhuang, Xie Zhuang is the manor of the big landlord Xie in Chaoyang County, and with the operation of the big landlord Xie, I heard that there is already a Wanguan family property.

Moreover, Hei Lao Er also found out that the big landlord Xie also hooked up with the son-in-law of Tang Yulin, the chairman of Rehe Province, and some time ago, the big landlord Xie got a lot of arms from Zhou Tiezheng.

Black Er has been unable to keep up with his weapons and equipment because of the great expansion of his power recently, and his Japanese master has been busy preparing to invade Rehe Province during this time, so he can't take care of him for the time being.

The Japanese master couldn't take care of himself for the time being, but the second black man was unwilling to stop like this, and he had been in the bandit business for so long. He knew very well in his heart that whether he was doing things for bandits or working for the Japanese, if he wanted to have a voice, he couldn't have no chips in his hands.

Besides, during this time, the main force of the Northeast Army was pinned down by the Japanese army, and there was no time to deal with themselves, and the regular army of the entire Chaoyang Road, that is, the Northeast Army of one battalion, was not as many as others. I heard that it has not been long since it was formed, and in the opinion of Hei Er, he didn't go to him for trouble, and the Northeast Army should burn high incense.

Although Xie Zhuang also has a security team of 200 people, but he was directly ignored by the black second, these security team people usually bully the common people, but if you really do a job of playing with your life, two words: no!

However, the earthen fence on the periphery of Xie Zhuang gave Hei Er a bit of a headache, although these earthen fences were only three meters high, but it was an obstacle that was difficult for Hei Er to overcome because he lacked heavy weapons.

And the people in the security team are all tenants of Xie Zhuang and the families of Xie Lao's landlords, and they still have a strong sense of protection for their own families.

So in order to be able to take Xie Zhuang smoothly, Hei Lao Er made a bloody investment this time, all the four hundred newly recruited bandits were dispatched, half of the four hundred horse teams were dispatched, and the remaining half guarded his hometown.
