Chapter 31: The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Breaks Out

Yingzhou Security Corps station.

Chu Jingming, the head of the security regiment, was practicing calligraphy, and Wang Baoshan, the deputy head of the regiment, strode in at this time: "Tuanza." ”

"Well, Baoshan, you're here." Chu Jingming raised his head to greet him, and then asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Tuanzuo, Pheasant and Ji Security Team are recruiting troops again, and Qiao Anbang has no less than two battalions of troops, and he has frequently dispatched in the territory of Yingzhou, do you know about the crazy suppression of bandits?" Wang Baoshan said with a worried face.

"Oh, I know about this, isn't the security team killing bandits for the people, what's wrong?" Chu Jingming didn't take it to heart.

"Tuanza, you really don't know? Qiao Anbang's security team has been extremely strong during this time, and the strength he brought to suppress the bandits alone is no less than a regiment, and he also learned that the Qiao family is still recruiting. Wang Baoshan said in a hurry.

"Baoshan, I know what you want to say, but I think you are too worried, now that the Kou is hoarding heavy troops, the war is about to break out, and the second September 18 incident will occur if you are not careful. As a soldier, I am no exception, I must not sit idly by and watch myself devour our land step by step, slaughter our people, and there must not be another September 18 incident in North China, so I have already expressed my determination to the upper peak and ask for permission for our security regiment to go north to resist. ”

"And once the war breaks out, our Yingzhou security regiment will definitely go north, and when the time comes, someone must take over the security problems on the border of northern Anhui, and the pheasant and set security teams are the best candidates, so it is not a bad thing for them to expand some strength." Chu Jingming didn't say that he and Qiao Anbang were sworn brothers, so he would let his subordinates misunderstand that he was favoritism and connived at the expansion of the Qiao family.

"But ......"

"There is nothing to do, now is the national crisis, ** people are right, we must unite, unite with the gun, defend the country, and defend sovereignty!" Chu Jingming interrupted Wang Baoshan's righteous and awe-inspiring words.

……………………

"Vice-seater, we'll be home in a while." Returning to the road of Pheasant and Ji, Wang Gensheng, who was in the same truck with Qiao Anbang, said with some excitement.

"Hmm." Qiao Anbang nodded calmly, speaking of which, it has been a month and a half since he led his troops to suppress the bandits, and in addition to eating and sleeping in the open every day, he is chasing bandits and fighting bandits. Dozens of days of such a day left Joan Bang exhausted, but fortunately the troops had enough trucks and motorcycles to travel on foot.

At the head of the convoy is the reconnaissance platoon, and the leader of the reconnaissance platoon is Zhang Xudong, equipped with more than a dozen motorcycles.

In this period of suppression of bandits, although there are occasional soldiers who are injured or killed, they have also really trained these recruits, and they are slowly transforming from recruits to veterans.

Having seen blood, killed people, and felt the tense atmosphere brought by the battlefield, it is a person who will become.

Looking at the scout soldiers on the motorcycle in front of him through the windshield, Qiao Anbang felt infinite relief in his heart, his soldiers were slowly maturing, and were moving from a rabble to the elite.

Such soldiers, as long as they are supplemented by advanced weapons and equipment, should be able to fight against the invading Chinese army. Joan Bang thought to himself.

Soon, the convoy arrived at Pheasant and Ji, but did not enter the city, but went around the city and went straight to the Longshan military camp. Since Qiao Anbang himself personally led the team to take charge of the army, Qiao Anbang shamelessly plagiarized the fine traditional style of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, and would rather sleep on the road than disturb the people, this military regulation is enough to explain everything.

However, when the convoy passed through the west gate of the county seat and was about to drive towards the Longshan military camp, the reconnaissance platoon in front suddenly stopped.

Qiao Anbang stuck his head out of the car window and saw Zhang Xudong running towards this side.

"Xudong, what's wrong?" Jo Anbang asked.

"Bench, come down and have a look." Zhang Xudong said with a complicated expression.

Qiao Anbang got out of the car with doubts, and Wang Gensheng hurriedly jumped down.

Surrounded by Zhang Xudong and Wang Gensheng, Qiao Anbang came to the front of the convoy, and when he looked around, he saw hundreds of people gathered outside the West Gate, including men and women, old and young. Many of them had things in their hands, eggs, grain, etc.

Just when Qiao Anbang was surprised, an older man in the crowd said excitedly: "Folks, this is Qiao Yingying and the officers and soldiers of the security regiment, they killed the bandits and saved our relatives." As he spoke, the old man took the lead and knelt down. The hundreds of people behind him also knelt down with emotion.

"Folks, hurry up and have something to say." Seeing this, Qiao Anbang hurriedly led someone up to help. Hearing this, Qiao Anbang understood a little, it is likely that these sons came to lead their troops to suppress bandits non-stop, and indeed rescued many abducted women and some children from the bandits' den.

"Deputy seat, they may be villagers from Xiaolizhuang." Zhang Xudong recognized several young girls from the crowd and said that he had rescued them with the scouts, and said to Qiao Anbang.

"Uncle, hurry up. It is our responsibility to suppress bandits, and our security regiment is the people's soldiers, and it is incumbent upon us to protect our hometowns. Qiao Anbang helped the old man and said, It seems that these people have come to thank him and his brothers.

"Qiao Yingying, if it weren't for you, my daughter might have been ruined by bandits, I, I, I'll kowtow to you again." The old man's eyes were tearful, and he didn't know how to say anything excitedly.

"Yes, thanks to your rescue............ the other people nodded earnestly.

"Everybody, get up." Qiao Anbang helped the old man up and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, you don't have to be like this, I have said since the day our security regiment was established that it is our responsibility to eliminate violence and protect the land and the people." As a soldier, it is our duty to protect our family and country. ”

"Dear fellow villagers and elders, our security regiment is the people's soldiers, today is, will be in the future, and will always be, no matter when, we will take defending national sovereignty and safeguarding national dignity as our own responsibility, no matter where we go, we will be a good soldier who is loved by the people, and dare not forget the nurturing teachings of our hometown fathers." Qiao Anbang pretended to learn the emotional lines in the TV series in later generations, and spoke loudly to everyone.

"Good! Well said. The old man was excited by Qiao Anbang's easy-to-understand words, and his withered hands trembled like tree bark and held Qiao Anbang's hands tightly.

Immediately, the old man waved his hand to the people behind him, and then turned to Qiao Anbang and said, "Captain Qiao, this is a piece of the villagers' hearts, you must accept it." ”

Qiao Anbang looked at the eggs, grain and other things in everyone's hands, his eyes were a little moist, these things may not be anything in the twenty-first century, they are not worth much, but in today's era of poverty and lack of materials in this country, food and eggs are the most expensive things that ordinary people can only take out at home.

The eggs are probably put together by the whole village, because there are only three. Thinking of this group of simple people, they took out eggs and food that they were usually frugal and reluctant to eat when they were sick to comfort him and his officers and soldiers.

Qiao Anbang felt quite deeply, his nose was sour, and he almost cried, he was a human being in two lives, the people were warm and cold, and the world was hot and cold, he could say that he had seen through it a long time ago.

Let's ask how the fathers and elders of such a simple hometown, as a soldier, fail to be loyal and conscientious, surrender the great rivers and mountains to himself, and let such people fall under the iron cavalry of the army and suffer.

No, never, he said that after the outbreak of the war of resistance, he would rather die in battle than let himself set foot on this land. Qiao Anbang swore secretly in his heart.

Then he said affectionately and solemnly: "Folks, thank you for your kindness, but we can't ask for your things, I know that these things are taken out by everyone who is thrifty, thank you, our security regiment has military salaries and food, which is very satisfying." ”

"Long live the security corps! Long live Qiao Jiajun! A young man suddenly stood up and took the lead in raising his hand and shouting.

"Long live the security corps! Long live Qiao Jiajun! ”

"Long live the security corps! Long live Qiao Jiajun! Hundreds of women and children of the elderly and children present shouted in unison.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qiao Anbang's heart trembled, the people of this era are too kind and simple, they don't care who is in charge of the country, they only know who is good to them, they will support whom, whoever does practical things for the people, they will follow.

At this moment, not only Qiao Anbang was excited, but also the officers and soldiers of the security regiment present, they felt that being a good soldier was so happy, so happy, and it was so fulfilling to be a soldier who loved the people.

In order to further win the favor of the people, he asked all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion to get out of the car, and asked Wang Dingsheng to drive the hundreds of people present home one by one.

Those who came dozens of miles away were deeply moved by Qiao Anbang, and they almost regarded Qiao Anbang as a god in their hearts.

After sending off the civilians, Qiao Anbang led his troops back to the barracks.

After leaving for more than a month, Yongsan has changed a lot, the factory has started, there are more people, and it seems more lively.

In the more than one month that Qiao Anbang has suppressed bandits, Qiao Anguo has already recruited another batch of recruits, and because the good reputation of the security regiment has spread far and wide, more young and middle-aged people have come to enlist in the army this time.

By the time Qiao Anbang returned, Qiao Anbang had recruited more than 2,400 people, and this number was still increasing, because people still came to enlist in the army every day.

After having sufficient troops, Qiao Anbang immediately formed three infantry battalions, artillery battalions, reconnaissance companies, guard companies, communications companies and other regimental units.

After the expansion, the total strength of the security regiment has reached nearly 4,000 people, and although there are many new recruits, it is fortunate that there are more than 1,000 veterans for training on the basis.

In the 26th year of the Republic of China, on 7 July, the Chinese army brazenly launched an attack on the Lugou Bridge garrison in Beiping, and the officers and men of the 219th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army were forced to fight.

After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Chairman Chiang, who was the leader of the national political axe, then issued a declaration of the Lushan War of Resistance, calling on the whole people to mobilize and carry out the national war of resistance.

He also shouted "As soon as the war begins, there is no distinction between north and south, no one is old or young, no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, and they would rather have the determination to sacrifice everything than to abandon an inch of the country, otherwise they will be the sinners of the Chinese nation through the ages" to show the Chinese nation's determination to resist.
