Chapter 43: An Empty Camp
The head of the model regiment was concurrently served by President Yuan Da himself, and now that the head of the regiment has fallen to Wu Xiaoliang, it has naturally become a topic of conversation among everyone. Wu Xiaoliang didn't expect that Duan Qirui would be so generous and appoint himself as the head of the regiment at one time, although it may be just a temporary dispatch, but it is also a rare opportunity.
Now the establishment of a regiment is there, but Wu Xiaoliang's 15th mixed regiment is still an empty shelf, and the military cadets are only 413 when the army is full, which is only enough for a battalion of men and horses at best, so his current task is to recruit them. The model regiment is notoriously tricky throughout Naoli, he is a bare-bones regiment leader, and I don't know how many people are ready to see him laugh.
The materials that Duan Qirui promised were being shipped in batches, brand-new Mauser rifles, boxes of ammunition were unloaded into the barracks, and Wang Ruxian also sent people to send two Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns, which were good things. Fu Zuoyi's eyes lit up, "Obediently, this is a big windfall." ”
It was originally scheduled to be combined today, but Wu Xiaoliang did not wait for half a person from the model regiment to come, Duan Qirui was originally scheduled to take the oath on July 1, and the time was pressing, so he decided to personally go to the station of the model regiment to discuss the integration with Dong Haibin .
The station of the Model Regiment is located next to the headquarters of the newly established 15th Mixed Regiment. Wu Xiaoliang took Fu Zuoyi to the model regiment, only to see that the soldiers were disheveled and shabby, but their faces were scraped with iron blue, their heads were shaved and slippery, they lined up neatly, shouting trumpets, and the spirit of slaughter caused chills. Dark: Good soldier.
Two soldiers suddenly stopped him: "What are you doing?" No trespassing is allowed on the premises of the Model Regiment. ”
Fu Zuoyi hurriedly stepped forward; "This is Wu Xiaoliang, the head of the 15th mixed regiment, who is here to see your regiment leader."
One of the soldiers said: "We don't have a regiment commander, only a company commander." ”
The two don't understand the situation, the model regiment has not had a regiment commander since Yuan Shikai's death, and the battalions and companies are also divided.
"Whoever is in charge of your barracks, you will find whomever you are." Fu Zuoyi paused and continued.
"Then you wait, I'll report to the company commander." The two wondered, how could they be a company commander?
It was nearly an hour before the soldier slowly swallowed out, "You two, the company commander let you in." ”
A big man in the hall sat behind a long table, looking at the two of them with a smile, the long table where chairs should have been placed were empty on both sides, and it was clear that he wanted to give them a dismount.
Fu Zuoyi was just about to do it, but Wu Xiaoliang grabbed him, "Company Commander Dong, the contemptible person is Wu Xiaoliang, the head of the 15th Mixed Regiment, who is here today to discuss the merger of the camp." ”
The big man was Dong Haibin, he sat down, put one leg on the table, and said with a smile: "Head Wu, do you still recognize me?" ”
"Are you ......?"
"You, you are the company commander of the model regiment of the Baoding Military Academy?" Fu Zuoyi recognized him.
"Exactly, the rivalry is gathered, do you think we can let you be co-opted with peace of mind?" Dong Haibin said frivolously, and Wu Xiaoliang frowned.
"Brother Dong, do you want the Model Regiment to be kicked around like this forever? Now that our two battalions are mixed into the fifteenth regiment, it is an excellent opportunity for you and me to turn over, and you and I have stepped forward in the country's suffering, and with meritorious service, who would dare to snub you? Wu Xiaoliang's words are very heavy, like a fist smashed on Dong Haibin's heart, the model regiment has indeed reached the point of exhaustion, and if it continues like this, it will have to be disbanded sooner or later.
Wu Xiaoliang breathed a sigh of relief and said extremely sincerely: "Prime Minister Meng Duan raises love, Xiaoliang is the head of the regiment, if Brother Dong is not satisfied, as soon as this battle is over, I will give it to Brother Dong?" ”
Dong Haibin blushed, and Wu Xiaoliang hit him to the point, the model regiment really has no better place to go, and for the sake of his brothers, he must also agree. It seems that the idea of trying to dismount them has failed.
With Dong Haibin's cooperation, the 15th mixed regiment began to be reorganized on the same day.
Fang Qidao said worriedly: "Regiment commander, we should break up and reorganize the military cadets and the soldiers of the original model regiment, otherwise the model regiment has its own system and does not listen to the order, which is a taboo for soldiers." ”
Wu Xiaoliang nodded and said: "That's the truth, but we don't have time, dismantling and reorganizing is tantamount to giving up the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the overall situation should be the most important." ”
The 413 men of the former Baoding Military Academy Detachment and the 405 men of the three companies of the former Model Regiment were each reorganized into a battalion, and the two battalions were merged into a regiment with a total of 818 people. From regiment commander Wu Xiaoliang down, Fu Zuoyi served as captain regimental chief of staff and commander of the first battalion, Dong Haibin served as captain deputy regiment commander and commander of the second battalion, and Fang Qidao served as lieutenant and company commander and quartermaster of the regimental guard company...... All of them are low-ranking and high-matched.
The new gray uniforms and Mauser guns were in the hands of the soldiers, the distance between the two battalions was slightly shortened, and the morale of the 15th Mixed Regiment was high. Fang Qidao dragged his tired body back to the dormitory, he was very excited, tomorrow the whole army will swear to defeat Zhang Yi, and he has taken a big step forward on the road of serving the country in the army.
Late at night, gunshots rang out, and someone from the 15th Mixed Regiment shouted: "Flee the camp, flee the camp......" The regiment headquarters was brightly lit, and the sentry came to report in a panic: "Report to the regiment commander, it's not good, Platoon Commander Chen fled with people and fled the camp." "This sentry originally belonged to the officer model regiment, and he was a little weak-minded, afraid that Commander Wu would be angry and angry with himself, and his majesty had been taught at the Baoding Military Academy.
Fu Zuoyi was taken aback and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Look at the ...... heading north"
Wu Xiaoliang was very angry, this Chen Xiuyan dismantled his platform at a critical moment, he rushed to stand up: "Yisheng, order a battalion of soldiers to chase after me, if you can't chase it back, we don't have to come back." ”
Dong Haibin stood up and stopped Wu Xiaoliang: "Regiment leader, swear tomorrow, it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches at this time." ”
Wu Xiaoliang saw that Dong Haibin was not smiling, and said in his heart, You may not have any good intentions, if I don't chase the deserters back, what prestige will there be to lead the whole regiment in the future.
"Brother Dong doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind, and the horse factory will definitely rush back to the oath tomorrow!"
All the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 15th Mixed Regiment mounted their horses and galloped towards the north like a strong wind. Dong Haibin watched them disappear into the night, his heart was complicated, and he secretly blamed himself for when he became so unruly, wouldn't he become a villain in the long run?
"Adjutant, recruit all the men and horses of the second battalion and go to help Commander Wu, he is in danger." The deputy of the regiment said with a puzzled face: "Commander, you, have you repented?" ”
"Needless to say, time is pressing, gather people quickly."
On the North China Plain, Wu Xiaoliang led his subordinates to chase him out for an hour, and finally caught a fallen Chen Xiuyan platoon soldier on the road.
"The regiment, the regiment commander, the platoon commander, the platoon commander, he went to Beijing City."
Wu Xiaoliang snorted and asked him to follow the team, this person is the son of the director of the Beijing Police Department, who fights with Chen Xiuyan on weekdays, but today he was left here, how can there be any righteousness at all, I really pity him. With his legs between the horse's belly, he shouted, "Keep chasing." ”
Dong Haibin had no horses, carried heavy guns and ammunition on his back, and marched quickly on the North China Plain. Dong Haibin anxiously looked at the front of the black hole and said to himself: "I hope to catch up with ......"
The 15th Mixed Regiment was stationed and overnight became an empty battalion.
