At the temporary headquarters in the Twin Cities, after Lin Daxin issued a series of orders to the Northern Army, he calmly said to the five division commanders of the Dingbei Army: "2 million is indeed a lot, it just so happens that I still feel that the name of the Russian Army is not so worthy of the name, now let our Dingbei Army and Lao Maozi have a big battle!" As for the French who came in, hum! Let the French see that the prestige of our Northeast Navy is not blown out, but fought in naval battles one after another, and since the French have stuck their heads out, I will let the French taste the taste of blood flowing from their heads. ”

The five division commanders of the Dingbei Army looked at each other, and then shouted at the same time: "Swear allegiance to the principal, and fight the Russians and the French to the end!" ”

Then Lin Daxin said to several adjutant officers of the Governor's Mansion beside him: "Didn't we establish hundreds of independent garrison regiments and hundreds of independent garrison battalions on the basis of the militia troops? Send a telegram to the Governor's Palace, and ask the personnel left behind in the Governor's Palace to complete the weapons and equipment for the newly formed independent garrison regiment and independent garrison battalion, and if they don't fight to the back, these newly formed garrison troops will also have to go to the battlefield! ”

Wang Hongjun, the commander of the Second Division, said: "Principal, how can you say that Russia has expanded its army by 2 million at once, which has completely disadvantaged our Dingbei Army in terms of numbers. ”

Lin Daxin also drew up a three-stage wartime mobilization plan in the four northeastern provinces, and if the first phase of the wartime mobilization plan is launched, the four northeastern provinces will expand the army by 1.2 million militia reservists within one month and form 60 Type B divisions. If the second phase of the wartime mobilization plan is launched, the four northeastern provinces will complete the integration of the remaining nearly 3 million militia reservists within three months.

If the third phase of the wartime mobilization plan is launched, then it will be the moment when the four northeastern provinces will face the moment of life and death, when the land will not be divided into north and south, and people will be old and young, and the entire four northeastern provinces will be all soldiers.

Lin Daxin thought about it for a while, shook his head and said: "We now have 15 A integrated divisions, 20 B divisions, as well as 1 guards division, 1 armored division and 1 cavalry division, plus more than 100 independent garrison regiments and hundreds of independent garrison battalions, with more than 1 million troops. Moreover, the autumn harvest season is coming soon, and if wartime mobilization is carried out, it will inevitably affect the autumn harvest of our four northeastern provinces! ”

As Lin Daxin's order was conveyed to the stations of the newly formed B Division of the Dingbei Army in various parts of the four northeastern provinces, these newly formed B divisions began to pack their bags, inspect weapons and equipment, and prepare to go to the front line.

In the mountain town of Hailong County, Jilin Province, in a five-room newly built large tiled house in the south of the town, Liu Caifu sat on the kang smoking a cigarette bag pot, his wife, eldest daughter Feng'er, youngest daughter Osmanthus and daughter-in-law were busy making dumplings on the table on the kang, and the daughter-in-law's eyes were red at this time, and she looked like she had just cried.

Liu Caifu knocked the cigarette pouch pot on the edge of the kang and asked his eldest daughter Feng'er: "Niu Bao, their troops are going to Outer Mongolia, right?" ”

The eldest daughter Feng'er nodded and said, "Well, Dad, Niu Bao and their eighth division went to Outer Mongolia!" ”

Liu Caifu sighed and said: "The big-eyed troops are also going to Outer Mongolia!" I don't know if the two of them will ever meet! ”

It turned out that Liu Caifu's eldest son Liu Dayan was the platoon commander of a militia company in a mountain town, and when the garrison brigade was expanded to a B division, he took the initiative to ask to join the regular army, and finally was selected into the 21st division and became a squad leader of the Dingbei Army. I invited my neighbors to come and celebrate.

Unexpectedly, less than one month after Liu Dayan officially joined the Dingbei Army, the 1st Battalion of the 211th Regiment of the 211th Brigade of the 21st Division in Shancheng received an order to move to Baicheng, Jilin Province, which is close to Mongolia.

At this time, Liu Caifu's eldest son Liu Dayan and youngest son Liu Xuanzhu hurriedly walked into the house, and Liu Dayan asked urgently: "Dad, what are you doing to find me back?" I'm busy getting ready to go! ”

Liu Caifu looked at his son and said, "The whole family knows that you are going to go on an expedition, let you eat dumplings and then leave!" ”

Liu Dayan opened his mouth and didn't speak, hesitated, and nodded fiercely, although the army was about to leave, he was busy as the squad leader, but his home was very close to the stationing place of the army, and eating dumplings would not delay anything, after all, this was a part of the family's heart.

After a while, the dumplings were wrapped, boiled and served on the table, and a few dishes and a pot of wine were also served.

The family was somewhat depressed around the dining table on the kang, and no one spoke for a long time.

At this time, Liu Caifu raised the wine glass in front of him and said to his eldest son: "Big eyes, you are about to go to the battlefield!" Dad wishes you to fight bravely on the battlefield to kill Lao Maozi, come back with a military exploit, and win glory for our whole family! ”

Liu Dayan picked up his wine glass and said: "Father, eldest sister, younger brother, second sister, daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will never embarrass our old Liu family when I go to the battlefield, and when I finish fighting Lao Maozi, I will definitely come back with a military merit medal!" After speaking, he drank the wine in the cup.

Liu Caifu's wife looked at her son and couldn't help but say, "Son! Can you not go? Bullets don't grow eyes on the battlefield, in case ......"

Liu Caifu interrupted his wife's words and said, "Shut up! You old lady knows what! Long hair and short knowledge, our son is now the regular army of the Dingbei Army, and the military order is like a mountain, if he is cowardly at this time, not only will he be dealt with by military law, but our family will not want to raise their heads and be human beings in the future! Besides, our family can have such a life now, all with the grace of Lin Dashuai and his old man, and now Lin Dashuai is taking our children in the Northeast to fight with Lao Maozi who wants to occupy our Northeast, if it weren't for my age, I would have taken the guy to the front line, followed Lin Dashuai to beat Lao Maozi fiercely, all the way to Lao Maozi's capital, and caught Lao Maozi's emperor! Look at them, do they dare to want to occupy the land in our northeast! ”

Liu Dayan said: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely kill a few more old Maozi and bring your share out, as long as our Dingbei Army is here, Lao Maozi doesn't want to occupy an inch of land in the northeast!" ”

After Liu Caifu's family finished eating, the whole family walked to the door to bid farewell to Liu Dayan.

Liu Dayan turned around and said, "Daddy, take care, don't send it!" Daughter-in-law, take care of your father and mother, and wait for me to come back with my children! The eldest sister, younger brother, and second sister are at home relying on you, and I'm leaving! ”

Liu Dayan's daughter-in-law was already in tears at this time, and said in a choked voice: "Big eyes, I'm ...... I'll wait for you to come back! You...... You must come back! ”

Liu nodded vigorously with a little reddish eyes, and then strode towards the military camp south of the mountain town without looking back.

Early the next morning, more than 500 people of the 1st Battalion of the 211th Regiment of the 211th Brigade of the 21st Division stationed in Shancheng Town were ready, and under the order of the battalion commander, they walked out of the barracks in a neat line and embarked on the road to the front line.

The people of Shancheng Town have already received the news that this battalion of the Dingbei Army will leave for the front line today, and before dawn, more than 20,000 people are waiting outside the barracks to bid farewell to the children of Shancheng Town.

The reason why it is said to be the children of Shancheng is because except for a few officers in this battalion who were transferred from the Sixth Garrison Brigade before the original expansion, the other officers and soldiers were all from the original militia units of Shancheng and were natives of Shancheng.

Outside the barracks, the people who bid farewell to the children of Shancheng were led by the mayor of Shancheng in his 50s, who also immigrated to the northeast and turned out to be an old talent from Shandong.

The old mayor shouted to the battalion commander of the Dingbei Army: "Battalion Commander Zhang, the people of our mountain towns have come to see you off!" I wish you a successful start, and when you come back, the whole town will give you a celebratory wine! ”

The battalion commander of the Dingbei Army knew the old mayor, and hurriedly walked to his side and said: "Old mayor, thank you for the people of the mountain towns who came to see off the officers and soldiers of our battalion, our battalion will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy and live up to the expectations of our fathers and fellow villagers!" ”

The old mayor turned back to the back and shouted, "Bring the flag!" At this time, a young man in the back raised a bright red flag.

The old mayor said to Battalion Commander Zhang of the Dingbei Army: "Battalion Commander Zhang, look at what is written on the banner!" ”

Camp Commander Zhang looked at the six big characters on the banner and read: "Shancheng Children's Battalion!" ”

The old mayor shouted, "Yes! It's the Shancheng Children's Battalion, Battalion Commander Zhang, I know that our Northeast and Lao Maozi's great power must be very tragic in this battle, and the Shancheng Children's Battalion must have suffered casualties on the front line! But on behalf of the people of the town, I promise you the Dingbei Army that no matter how many casualties there are in the battalion of the children of the mountain towns, the descendants of our mountain towns will definitely make up for the people, until the old Maozi is completely defeated. ”

"Can—" An almost earth-shattering roar rang out.

Battalion Commander Zhang shook the old mayor's hand with some excitement: "Old mayor, on behalf of the Dingbei Army, I would like to thank the people of Shancheng Town!" Thank you for your support! Thank you! ”

The old town mayor held Battalion Commander Zhang's hand, turned his head and shouted loudly to the hundreds of children of mountain towns who participated in the regular army of the Dingbei Army: "Young descendants of mountain towns, I hope you will go to the battlefield to kill Lao Maozi more and win glory for our mountain towns!" Remember, the descendants, the people who go out of our mountain towns are not bad! ”

More than 500 people from the 1st Battalion of the 211th Regiment of the 211th Brigade of the 21st Division of the Dingbei Army set foot on the road to the front line with a red flag embroidered with six big characters of the children's battalion in Shancheng Town. R1152
