Chapter 43 Sleeping and Sending Pillows (Asking for Recommendations)

For many people in Jinping, the stationing of more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the main force of the Central Army really made them a little worried. Even the people of the small town don't know much about what the Central Army means, but they know that their reputation is not very good.

Even many people know that the Central Army is also described by the people as 'suffering troops' in other places. But with the stationing of the independent regiment, many people can also feel that this central army is not as terrifying as imagined.

At least when entering and exiting the city gates, the 'entry fee' that those city defense regiments had to collect in the past seems to have been abolished. Of course, many caravans that enter the city to do business still need to pay commercial taxes. This is also taken for granted by ordinary people.

Compared with the people's evaluation of this central army, it seems to be good. The squires and wealthy merchants in the city felt that the commander of the Central Army was very 'greedy'. In the face of their bribes, most of them did not refuse.

I just want this regiment commander to do something, and he is always sloppy. From time to time, he will deliberately blackmail these rich gentry who are not benevolent. At least a few smoke houses in the city, this 'Central Army' was unlucky after it was stationed.

From time to time, officers and soldiers of the Central Army come here to conduct so-called inspections and inspections. If something is slightly wrong, the owner of the tobacco house must give some 'luck money', and after a while, the owner of the tobacco house also complains.

The head of the security regiment who supported them was also helpless to their complaints: "Spend money to eliminate the disaster!" Although these people are greedy, they at least follow the rules. If it were replaced by other central armies, it might be even more ruthless than these people. ”

As the head of the security regiment, I know some of the current situation in Guizhou. As the Red Army advanced into Guizhou, the Central Army followed. Even the lair of their provincial chairman was occupied by the commander of the Central Army, let alone them?

In the future, this Guizhou is estimated to no longer have the surname Wang but the surname Jiang. Therefore, for these stationed Central Army, the head of the security regiment must also be carefully served. Who knows how much trouble you will get into by annoying these people?

On the other hand, He Zhengdao, who contacted the headquarters, summoned the company-level officers of the independent regiment and convened an ad hoc meeting again. In addition to announcing the order of the headquarters, it is to study the next battle plan.

Knowing that they were in contact with the main force, the company commanders were also very excited: "Regiment commander, what does the headquarters say?" ”

In the face of the excitement of these battalion and company commanders, He Zhengdao said very seriously: "The headquarters instructed that our independent regiment will be directly under the command of the headquarters in the future. At present, the biggest task is to maintain its own vitality and strive to join the main force as soon as possible.

But if you look at the map and where the main forces are at the moment, you are all military commanders and should be well aware of the current grim situation. As long as our independent regiment is not careful, it will face the end of total annihilation.

In addition, if you want to join the main force, the time is not yet ripe. Therefore, the next thing we have to do is to wait patiently for the fighters. Taking advantage of this time, all battalions and companies should properly organize military training and discipline education. ”

'Commander, can't we secretly join up with the main force?' If you rush from here, it shouldn't take a few days, right? ’

There was still a company commander who said that he wanted to join the main force. But this suggestion was quickly swallowed by He Zhengdao's words. Only then did everyone know that it was impossible to join the main force in terms of the current situation.

Indeed, judging from the map, we are not far from the main forces. But you know, the reason why we are safe at the moment is because of the clothes we wear, and our external identity.

From Jinping to the Sichuan-Yunnan border, we need to pass through more than a dozen counties. At present, most of these counties are stationed with the Central Army or the Guizhou Army. As soon as we move, they will find out that we are impostors.

Even with our current strength, it will not be a problem to deal with the main force of the Central Army. But if the other party comes with a division or more troops at once, even if we can fight our way out of the encirclement, how many people will be left in the end? ’

In a word, these excited battalion and company commanders directly poured a basin of cold water. But soon Zhang Cheng, who was the commander of the first battalion, said: "Regiment commander, what should we do next?" Can't you stay here forever, right? ”

'What? Recently, have you been too comfortable? ’

Zhang Cheng, who was ridiculed, also felt a little crying and laughing. In fact, Zhang Cheng, who pretended to be the commander of the Central Army during this time, was indeed the most 'busy' person in the Independent Regiment. Almost every day, there are feasts, and from time to time you can pack some so-called 'souvenirs'.

Zhang Cheng, who heard this, also said helplessly: "Leader, you know I don't mean that." I just think that if I continue to pretend like this, sooner or later I will still leak the filling! After all, we are not a real Central Army. ”

'Rest assured! The reason why he chose to pretend to be stationed in Jinping was more because he hoped to have a quiet rest. Next, each battalion and company strengthened its shooting training, and let the soldiers conduct some live-fire training with bullets.

Those double-spearmen of the Jinping Security Regiment, although their combat effectiveness is not very good. But in their warehouse, a lot of bullets are still stored. At that time, all battalions and companies went out of the city to conduct live firing in the name of suppressing bandits.

The corresponding bullet consumption, go back to the city to find the security chief for reimbursement. At least I hope that by the time we leave Jinping, our fighters' marksmanship will improve. Sharpshooters, too, are fed by bullets. ’

As far as the current ammunition supply of the independent regiment is concerned, in He Zhengdao's opinion, it is a bit too generous. In this case, it is also very necessary to take out more bullets to train soldiers in marksmanship, which is also very necessary in He Zhengdao's view.

At least for the time being, at the guard company, at his request, each fighter had to shoot out at least thirty rounds of live ammunition every day. For this kind of extravagant behavior, political commissar Yao Shengjun saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

But he knew that the strength of the independent regiment was limited at present. If the officers and men practice their marksmanship well, they will be even stronger on the battlefield in the future. At least he believed that He Zhengdao had the ability to get more weapons and ammunition.

Hearing the arrangement given by He Zhengdao, these battalion company commanders were also happy. In any case, they all know that the improvement of the soldier's shooting level is still very helpful for the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops.

As a result, Zhang Cheng, as the commander of the Central Army, asked the head of the security regiment in Jinping about the bandit forces nearby. In the name of suppressing the bandits Jing'an, various battalions and companies were sent out one after another.

For a time, the bandits in Jinping were unlucky, but the people felt that this central army was very rare. But many people don't know that while suppressing bandits, the Independent Regiment is also secretly recruiting some bandit youths with no evil deeds to join the army.

These young bandits, compared to ordinary peasant children, at least know how to fire a gun. But after they joined the Independence Regiment, they were all sent to the boot camp for training and re-education. And those prisoners of the Central Army were also slowly integrated into the independent regiment.

Half a month later, looking at the telegram sent by the Central Military Division, He Zhengdao finally smiled. He knew that the fighters that the Separate Regiment was waiting for appeared. At this time, the main force of the Red Army crossed Chishui for the second time and returned to Zunyi, which really caught the Central Army and Wang Jialie off guard.

'I sent a telegram to the headquarters, and our unit has received a telegram order that it will move to the Xifeng area in the near future and participate in the encirclement and suppression operations of the Central Army. I hope that the headquarters can send troops to receive the supplies prepared by our department. ’

Seeing the headquarters of the Central Army, let the 704th Regiment move to the Xifeng area to prevent the main force of the Red Army from advancing into Guiyang. He Zhengdao also thinks that this is really 'sleeping and sending pillows'. Isn't this an opportunity to them?

Mao Taizu, who was also repairing in Zunyi, received a telegram from the Independent Regiment, and said with a smile: "It seems that our Commander-in-Chief Xue is really worried that we are pointing at Guiyang!" ”

Knowing that it would also take time for the independent regiment to move to Xifeng, Mao Taizu also instructed the independent regiment to enter Xifeng as quickly as possible. Although in the middle of the two armies, there were also many troops of the Central Army to block them.

But Mao Taizu knew very well that it was unlikely that the main force of the Red Army would want to attack Guiyang. But welcoming the return of the Independent Regiment must not be a problem. He Zhengdao, the commander of the guard company, is still very concerned.

In this way, the independent regiment, which had been well rested, left in the tearful eyes of the Jinping squire. The fundamental reason why these squires are so excited is that they have all been looted during this time.

Even the independent regiment did not use any coercive means. But the rumors that came out from time to time really frightened these squires. And they didn't know that He Zhengdao deliberately let people spread these rumors.

Aren't they all afraid of having anything to do with the Red Army? He Zhengdao just let people spread some news in the city, saying that they were suspected of being bandits. Even if he didn't take the initiative to come to the door, these squires didn't dare to sit still.

Knowing that they can spend money to eliminate disasters, how can they not send money? During the period when he was stationed in Jinping, He Zhengdao also really did a 'scraping gentry party', so that these rich and unkind squires could make a good fortune.

Regarding the money that was sent to the door on his own initiative, political commissar Yao Shengjun also felt that although He Zhengdao was good at making crooked moves. But such a crooked trick can receive such an effect, and he is still very satisfied!

At least for the time being, he was equally satisfied with the funds that the Independent Mission had. This money will be transferred to the headquarters at that time, and I believe that it will also make the headquarters in financial difficulties feel happy and relieved!
