Chapter 53: Co-optation (II)
"Yang Huming, what the hell is going on?" Zhao Gengyuan, the commander of the third battalion on the city wall, asked with a thick Sichuan voice.
"The camp, the city is full of **, they are the pheasants and the set of security groups that defeated the Kunizaki detachment during the day, and now they have been reorganized into a group of tigers by the national political axe." Yang Huming hurriedly explained.
"Ge Lao Zidi, they are pheasants and the security group? How can there be so many cars? You don't have to lie to Lao Tzu, do you? Zhao Gengyuan's eyes widened, and the boss stared at Yang Huming and asked.
"Yingzuo, Hu Ming was born and died with you so many times, you won't even believe me, right?" Yang Huming saw that Zhao Gengyuan still doubted himself, and immediately said: "In this way, I will ask the head of the regiment to speak to you personally." ”
As he spoke, Yang Huming shouted at the bottom of the city: "Chief Qiao, we want to talk to you in the camp." ”
"I have heard for a long time that the soldiers of the Sichuan Army swore to die out of Sichuan to resist and say, the first battle of Songhu, the 26th Division made great achievements, repeatedly defeated the enemy, Anbang admired, and now our department is ordered to be stationed in Dangtu, why did Battalion Commander Zhao refuse to go out?" Qiao Anbang stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"Camp, listen, this is Qiao Anbang, the head of the security regiment." Yang Huming pointed to the city and said to Zhao Gengyuan.
"Captain Qiao is angry, the situation is compelling, Zhao has to be very careful." Zhao Gengyuan said tepidly.
"At the moment of national crisis, the great enemy is at present, it is necessary to be cautious, and it is not a big mistake to be careful." Qiao Anbang nodded and said, "Camp Commander Zhao, can we enter the city now?" ”
"Yes, but you're the only one to come in!" Zhao Gengyuan's tone was still the same.
"you, you have to inch in!" Wang Gensheng, the commander of the guard company, scolded angrily, and immediately said to Qiao Anbang: "Tuanzao, this group of people don't know what to do, let's bomb him raised by a son of a bitch, and go into the city to see his dog, let him enter the city." ”
Qiao Anbang immediately shouted: "Nonsense! Now that the strong army is pressing the border, and the great enemy is present, it is too late for us to unite, how can we shoot at our own compatriots? ”
"However, this group of Sichuan Yankees is too ignorant of lifting." Wang Gensheng said with a bitter face.
"Alright." Qiao Anbang raised his hand to stop Wang Gensheng and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, I will enter the city." ”
"Tuanza, don't go, safety first." Wang Gensheng hurriedly persuaded.
"Don't worry, as long as they are still Chinese, or a group of Chinese with blood surnames, they won't do anything to me." Qiao Anbang waved his hand and strode towards the city gate.
"Camp, Captain Qiao is here." Yang Huming pointed to the outside of the city and reminded.
"Hmm!" Zhao Gengyuan saw that Qiao Anbang really dared to enter the city alone, and couldn't help nodding secretly: Ge Laozi, he is a man.
"Let's go, come down with me and meet the head of this militia group." Zhao Gengyuan turned around and left.
"Battalion commander, he is now the commander of the first regiment of Huben, and he is a regular Central Army." Yang Huming hurriedly followed and reminded.
"Ge Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu said that he was the head of the militia group, that is, the head of the militia group. What kind of bullshit Central Army, isn't it just a title, and those who can fight devils are real masters. ”
The two had already gone down the city tower while talking, and it happened that the city gate had been opened, and several Sichuan soldiers carried torches and brought Qiao Anbang in.
"Sir Qiao, this is our camp." Yang Huming saw Qiao Anbang and hurriedly introduced.
Zhao Gengyuan glared at Yang Huming, and Yang Huming immediately shut up and took two steps back.
Qiao Anbang smiled with relief when he saw this, and immediately took the initiative to salute: "Camp Commander Zhao, don't come unharmed." ”|
Zhao Gengyuan saluted casually, and pretended to be indifferent: "Captain Qiao, why don't you stay here in Ma'anshan in the middle of the night?" ”
"Battalion Commander Zhao, at present, the Guosaki detachment has been heavily damaged by our department, and the remnants have been hastily withdrawn to the front line of Lishui, and it is impossible to recover its combat strength in a short period of time. The 18th Division of the Chinese Army is now storming Wuhu, and our unit is rushing to the aid of Wuhu under the order of the Nanjing Garrison Theater Command. Seeing that Zhao Gengyuan was not bored, Qiao Anbang paused and continued: "Camp Chief Zhao, Wuhu and Dangtu rely on each other, and I think you understand the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, right?" Once Wuhu falls, the army will definitely divide its troops to attack Dangtu. So I would like to ask Battalion Commander Zhao to bring your troops with me to help Wuhu. ”
"Hmph, Ge Laozi, since our Sichuan army fought the Sichuan War of Resistance, traveled thousands of miles to the front line of Songhu, and fought with the Oriental devils for several months, the men and horses were exhausted, and the weapons and ammunition were also consumed. Why does Lao Tzu want to go with you to reinforce Wuhu. Zhao Gengyuan complained dissatisfied.
Qiao Anbang's heart was sour when he heard this, what Zhao Gengyuan said was indeed true, in fact, on the battlefield of resistance and salvation, the experience of many local armies was the same, taking the Northeast Army as an example, Chairman Jiang deliberately attrition and attack, and many troops were disabled on the front line and withdrawn, but they had no replenishment at all, and were directly reorganized into other units.
For example, in the late stage of the Battle of Songhu, the 67th Army from the Northeast Army hurried to the front line under the leadership of the commander Wu Keren, which coincided with the landing of the 10th Army in Hangzhou Bay.
After the 67th Army, which suffered heavy losses, retreated to the rear, not only did it not receive any replenishment, but was directly withdrawn, and the remnants were reorganized into the 47th Army.
Of course, this is also due to Chairman Chiang's resentment about the Northeast Army's military admonition in the Xi'an Incident, and it must be known that the predecessor of the 67th Army was the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army that guarded the Beidaying Camp during the September 18 Incident, Zhang Xueliang's trump card unit.
The Sichuan Army, taking Zhao Gengyuan's 26th Division as an example, had more than 4,000 people in the division with poor equipment and insufficient ammunition, but the officers and men of the division had the bloody determination to kill the enemy and serve the country, and fought to the death with Yue Kou in the Battle of Songhu, and its record was one of the few divisions in the Battle of Songhu, and most of the Central Army was inferior to the 26th Division.
After the first battle of Songhu, the 26th Division suffered heavy losses, and many troops were scattered in the breakthrough, but they were not replenished with soldiers or weapons and ammunition, and Zhao Gengyuan's three battalions broke through from the Songhu battlefield when there were only more than 100 people, and now most of the more than 300 people are all the troops who have been collected along the way, and there are the Central Army, Guangxi, and Sichuan.
That's why Qiao Anbang moved the idea of co-opting them.
"Battalion Commander Zhao, I know your difficulties. You fought beautifully on the front line of Songhu, played the military prestige of the Chinese people, and played the military prestige of the Sichuan army, just by virtue of the battle of Songhu, it is enough to show the Chinese people that the Sichuan army is a love team that can fight tough battles! Qiao Anbang first praised it, and then said: "If you are willing to go with us to reinforce Wuhu, I will immediately issue you with 300 American-style rifles, 50 light and heavy machine guns, and enough ammunition!" ”
"What? Ge Lao Tzu, is this true? As soon as Zhao Gengyuan heard the number of weapons and ammunition reported by Qiao Anbang, his eyes suddenly widened, fifty light and heavy machine guns, it turned out that there were not so many in their entire 26th Division.
"Of course, Joe is a man of his word." Qiao Anbang also wanted to say that if you join our Tiger Regiment, you don't have to worry about weapons and ammunition in the future. But after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, now is really not the time, in case Zhao Gengyuan thinks that Qiao Anbang thinks that he is the Central Army to absorb them, it will not be good.
"Turtle son drop, if you really give Lao Tzu so much equipment, Lao Tzu will help you and go with you to save Wuhu City, but if we leave, what if the devil suddenly attacks?" Zhao Gengyuan was a little worried.
"Battalion Commander Zhao don't have to be afraid, I left an elite infantry battalion in Ma'anshan, with them, the devil doesn't want to step into Dangtu." Joan Bang said.
"Oh, that's fine." Zhao Gengyuan nodded and said.
"Camp." Yang Huming, who was behind Zhao Gengyuan, suddenly spoke up.
"Your turtle son drops, what's the matter?" Zhao Gengyuan turned his head and asked.
"Camp, isn't three hundred rifles a little less? There are more than 1,000 people in our battalion now. Yang Huming looked at Qiao Anbang and said to Zhao Gengyuan.
"Oh, yes." Zhao Gengyuan slapped his forehead and said, "I remember, Commander Qiao, Lao Tzu's battalion has just been expanded, and three hundred rifles are not enough." ”
Qiao Anbang also remembered that Yang Huming had said to himself before that there was a local militia in Tu City, and it seemed that Zhao Gengyuan had been co-opted now, and after pondering for a while, he had a plan in his heart, Qiao Anbang smiled slightly and said: "No problem, you can distribute as many equipment as you have." ”
"Haha! That's fine. Zhao Gengyuan smiled happily, and immediately turned to Yang Huming and said, "Hurry up and gather the troops." ”
"Yes!" Yang Huming hurriedly answered, and immediately turned around and left.
