Chapter 226 First Army
Xing Yuan left the headquarters in frustration, he didn't understand, he couldn't figure it out, he didn't know why, it seemed that the headquarters was angry, and it was down to the brigade commander, and the regiment commander was not angry.
He walked to the position of the company and looked around, only to realize that the guards were still following.
"Taozi, go to Division Commander Meng to report, I'm the company commander, and I don't need guards."
"Commander...... I don't...... If you are not a teacher, I will follow you......"
The guards stubbornly stiffened their necks and refused to leave.
"Obey orders......"
Xing Yuan said weakly.
Before he could finish speaking, a voice sounded behind him.
"Li Jiangtao!"
"Here!"
The guard stood upright and shouted without looking back.
"Senior Commander Meng ordered you to follow Company Commander Xing closely, if Company Commander Xing has any damage, Senior Commander Meng asked you to report it."
"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
The guard was holding a submachine gun, his waist straight.
"Hey......"
Xing Yuan couldn't get rid of the guards, so he let him go.
The incident seemed to come to an end at this point, and the grassroots of the defenders of Hutou soon learned that their division commander had been masturbated, and although it was already dark, the news quickly spread to every corner. Everyone was talking, I don't know what mistakes Commander Xing had made, but there was one thing that everyone realized, the order of the headquarters was unquestionable, and the division commander must have made a mistake, otherwise, why didn't the regiment commander and brigade commander below react?
In the discussion here, everyone was busy with each other, but they did not delay the assigned task.
After Meng Zhaocheng called back, knowing that the road was irretrievable, and in a heavy mood, he also began to assign tasks, and arranged for special interrogation of suspicious people found during the delivery of supplies.
These people have hard bones, but they can't stand the torture. Soon, the list of Hulin's sleepers was pulled out.
Meng Zhaocheng would never drag his feet, he called Hulin directly and handed over the residences and names of these people to the head of the guard there. After receiving the list, they immediately curfewed, arrested overnight, and interrogated by surprise. A few more lines were dug up, and it was estimated that by dawn, the Soviet and Russian spies lurking in the tiger forest would be almost as good as if they were not caught.
It's busy here, but it's extremely quiet in Dalenevchensk. In the darkness, the shadows groped in the ruins, setting up temporary shelters, and they did not dare to light the fire, because they did not know whether the enemy had withdrawn or not. Moreover, the crater here shows that Dalenevchensk was not destroyed by small-caliber mortars, but by large-caliber artillery bombardment across the river.
But they did not receive the order to attack, because the railway was cut off, and the trains were stranded twenty kilometers away from Darenevchensk, waiting for the track sleepers to be in place. Only then can the supplies be pulled down nearby and the cannons can be transported over.
Dong Ku did not rest at this time. After dealing with Xing Yuan's affairs, he carefully deliberated with Liu Chengcheng, and unanimously decided to hold on first, and wait for the other party to attack, and when the consumption reached a certain level, the density of the opponent's troops was enough. Another big blow, a complete blow to the beard.
After studying several plans, Dong Ku sent a telegram to Hulin's newly appointed division commander and ordered him to transport oil to Hulin and place it in a camp. Waiting for further processing, all the steel was concentrated in Hulin and then transported to Harbin. Those trucks and tanks have to open up the road and drive to the Tiger Forest.
The artillery did not move for the time being, and when the specific defense plan was in place, it was decided that all the Mogan rifles would be transported to Harbin, and the machine guns and bullets would be left behind, and they would be temporarily stacked in the storage caves of the fortress.
When property is transported to Harbin, especially those collections, they must not be damaged, and special troops must be sent to escort them. The day after tomorrow, all the recruits who arrive will be received, temporarily assigned to a temporary number, and wait for orders.
When Meng Zhaocheng saw that there were more than 40,000 people coming, his heart immediately brightened.
No matter how strong the fortress is, in the event of a big battle, it still needs to have enough people to withstand the attrition. Besides, Raohe also needs to send more manpower there, so he doesn't have to worry about Fuyuan and other places, there are Oroqen warriors guarding there.
After Dong Ku made the arrangements, he explained everything again, and then packed up, rode a horse and a plow overnight, and left Harbin.
The night passed quietly, and after dawn, all kinds of materials began to flow to the tiger forest in a steady stream under the pull and transportation of the gathered army of horses and plows. On the other side, in the midst of the busy heat here, there was no movement at all. It seems that the other side forgot that Dalenevchensk was washed in blood, and warehouse supplies were looted.
In one day, after a large number of horses came to Mishan to climb the plow, nearly half of the materials were transported, and at most one day, the materials could be transported.
During the delivery of supplies, Xing Yuan's company was transferred to guard the supplies and did not participate in the tense transportation. This can be regarded as Meng Zhaocheng's special care, after all, if Xing Yuan follows the supplies, he will feel uncomfortable.
Seeing the materials being loaded onto horses and plows in the same way, Xing Yuan was not sad or happy in his heart. A day later, he no longer thinks about why he was demoted.
He wore an overcoat, quietly watched the shipment of supplies, watched the stacks of gun boxes being pulled away, watched the pieces of scrap iron, the waste cannon barrels being pulled away, looked at the busy soldiers and those ordinary people, he suddenly found a problem, those rails were neatly stacked, but no one moved them.
Why don't you transport the rails? That's a lot of steel! Guns can be made from the furnace, which is far better than the cast iron of the truck body.
"Taozi, go and ask why you don't carry the rails."
He commanded without looking back.
"Yes!"
His shadow-like guard answered the order to question the soldier in charge.
Soon, he returned and told Xing Yuan that these rails were not on the list of moves.
Not on the handling list?
He looked at the rails suspiciously, the piles and stacks of rails were all guns in his eyes.
The transportable materials are the orders of the headquarters, and since the rails are not within the scope of transportation, there should be a place to go, just like bullets, which need to be transported close to the warehouse.
Originally, it was none of his business, but after all, he had managed these, and he had already calculated that these steels would definitely come in handy, otherwise he would not have ordered the dismantling of ten more kilometers.
Looking at the tracks, one thought after another flipped, and Xing Yuan was suddenly stunned.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why he had been demoted.
"Ten kilometers...... 10 km ......"
Xing Yuan muttered.
"Taozi! Follow me to the division! ”
Suddenly going to the division headquarters, the guards did not hesitate at all. Obediently turned on the flashlight and led the way in front.
The sentry naturally knew Xing Yuan, and he met Meng Zhaocheng very smoothly.
"Old Meng, is there any instruction from the headquarters on how to deal with the rails?"
Looking at Xing Yuan, who was in a hurry, Meng Zhaocheng was stunned, picked up the list of telegrams, looked at it again and said, "The headquarters didn't mention it." ”
"Didn't mention ......"
Xing Yuan confirmed his guess. The fault lies in the tracks. The captain is reminding himself and warning himself that there is no substantive punishment, just demotion, which shows that the captain does not want to do anything to himself, but to tell himself that it is important to carry out orders, or he is only worthy of being a company commander.
"Old Meng. Convene a meeting of all the staff......"
In the headquarters, everyone understood after listening to what Xing Yuan said. It turned out that he had changed the order without authorization and was punished by the headquarters.
Xing Yuan stood there, looking at his former subordinates, and the current commanders said, "Do you remember what I said? ”
"Remember! It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders! ”
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Obey orders......"
Xing Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "I just made such a mistake myself, in the face of no crisis, simple orders." Greed and luck made me forget the word execution. After a pause, his gaze gradually became firmer and he said. Division Commander Meng, Xing Yuan requested to send a telegram to the headquarters, report the mistake of changing the order without permission, and ask for punishment. ”
"Good ......"
Meng Zhaocheng responded, and was ready to call the operator.
Just then, a report rang out.
Meng Zhaocheng withdrew the words to his lips. Shouted: "Come in." ”
The door opened, and a figure came in from outside, with an extremely standard salute, and said loudly: "Master Meng, the captain asked me to inform you." Tomorrow we will receive the recruits who will arrive one after another, and those who arrive tonight have already arranged accommodation, and will officially report tomorrow. ”
"Personal Guard ......"
The eyes of those in the command widened. The person who came in was the same guard of Dong Ku that they had only heard of, but had never seen. At that time, those who had participated in the Battle of Qitaihe had never seen Dong Ku's guards, and they had heard from other channels that Dong Ku's guards were carrying sniper rifles, new-style submachine guns, and shell guns, which were simply the posture of a mobile battery.
"The captain has arrived ......"
Everyone was a little confused, the supreme commander actually came to the front line in person, and he didn't notify him......
Meng Zhaocheng asked tentatively, "Has the captain arrived in the Tiger Forest?" ”
"Master Meng, I didn't hear you receive orders." Konoe stood without squinting.
"Forehead ......"
Meng Zhaocheng was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Independent Division Meng Zhaocheng received an order to receive the recruits who will arrive one after another tomorrow!" ”
The moment his words fell, the guard saluted and said, "Master Meng, the captain has been in Hulin for three hours, and it has been twenty minutes since he arrived at the fortress, and he is at the track stacking place at this time. ”
"Rail ......"
Everyone looked at each other, and they all confirmed what Xing Yuan said, and the captain really punished him because of the Dao Rails.
"Everybody's on orders!" Meng Zhaocheng picked up his coat and shouted: "Target track stacking place, run forward!" ”
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted their orders, picked up their coats and went straight to the track stacking place......
Dong Ku looked at the crowd rushing wildly, waved his hand to let the guard platoon retreat, and he stood quietly with the guards, waiting for the shaking flashlight to arrive.
When the report was over, and Xing Yuan was the last to salute and report, Dong Ku asked, "Company Commander Xing, aren't you going to say something about demotion?" ”
"Report to the captain, Xing Yuan changed the order without authorization and miscommunicated the instructions of the headquarters, Xing Yuan is willing to accept the punishment!"
Looking at Xing Yuan's clear eyes in the firelight, Dong Ku said noncommittally: "It seems that Company Commander Xing has realized his mistake and saved me trouble......
"Yes! Xing Yuan already knew that he had made a mistake, and he was asking Master Meng for instructions just now to report the mistake to the headquarters, and you are here. ”
"Oh?"
Dong Ku looked at Meng Zhaocheng, and then at the other people, he knew that Xing Yuan was not lying, because it was impossible for people to be so together.
"Now I announce."
Dong Ku said loudly: "In view of the fact that Company Commander Xing has already known that he has made a mistake, he is now removed from his position as company commander, effective immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
Everyone was stunned, but they all shouted loudly.
Dong Ku continued to say at the moment when everyone's words fell: "Tomorrow, 60,000 people will be organized into the independent division, so the independent division will be changed to the First Army of the Chinese Advance Army. ”
Oh......
Everyone was surprised in their hearts, and the level of the troops rose again.
"Xing Yuan is the commander of the First Army, effective immediately!"
"Commander's ......"
At this moment, everyone was stunned, just now they thought that they would continue to punish Xing Yuan, so they removed his position as company commander, but now they are ...... (To be continued......)
