Section 244 Preparation for commencement of construction

Shi Zhen really didn't go to the county seat after settling down here in Zhailong, and if he needed anything or something to do, he would directly send orders to Gao Da Hammer and let him handle it. And the tall sledgehammer is also unusually capable, and the defense of the entire county has been properly arranged in just a few days. In normal times, he only rotated one infantry company in the city, among which important places such as the county government and the central bank were stationed with a group or a squad of different troops, while the rest of the troops set up camp in Ma'anshan, a few miles outside the city, and trained while building positions outside the city.

At the beginning, the officials and people in the city were still very curious about these troops who lined up in a neat queue to change guards with each other every day. However, after a few days, they were familiar with this situation, because these fierce and murderous soldiers only strictly guarded the fixed sentry posts everywhere every day, and did not affect their actions, which made the entire Liucheng County a little more rigorous, a sense of security, and at the same time, a lot more good feelings for this army. They had heard of many soldiers who had often raped women and robbed things, but in these soldiers, they could feel the solemn military discipline just by looking at them.

Perhaps it was because of the strong combat power felt by the strict military discipline of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, or perhaps it was because of his indifference and indifferent attitude towards life that he felt in dealing with Gao Da Hammer several times, the officials of Liucheng County, including the county magistrate Zhu, became more and more in awe of the regiment commander Shi. It was only at this time that they realized how ridiculous the countermeasures and means they had discussed before this troop came. If the stones want to dominate the crowd, with their small means, they will not play any role at all, and in the face of absolute strength, everything is fake.

Because of this, County Magistrate Zhu couldn't help but become more and more respectful of the stone. At first, I just thought that this was the descendant of a big official, but now it seems that this young man can have today's status because of his strength. After understanding this, County Magistrate Zhu also put away other thoughts, gave the green light to the independent regiment's actions in Liucheng, and basically let the troops take over the place west of the Rongjiang River.

In fact, Shi did not ask the county government for anything at all, and the place west of the Rongjiang River is basically a dispensable place compared to the entire Liucheng County, but this statement of the county magistrate Zhu still made Shi nod with satisfaction.

Time is constantly passing in the tense atmosphere of the Japanese army attacking Changsha again, compared to when they were on the battlefield, now for them, time is really not enough. If it is still in Yifeng, everything has formed a scale, relatively speaking, it is better, but now in a different place, everything has to start from scratch, and the amount of work is a bit huge. What's more, in the case that Changsha may be lost at any time, and the devil may go south at any time, time will naturally pass unconsciously in the busy.

In the 30th year of the Republic of China, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment ushered in the new year in this kind of busyness.

Compared with the excitement and joy in Yifeng last year, this year in Liucheng, the year has been a little shabby, especially the farms and other places have not been built, in the recent period, the days have been a little hard, after all, there is no farm, only relying on the savings of the regiment and the supply of the military department, can only maintain the supply of meat for one meal a day, it is already very rare.

However, although the soldiers of the Independent Regiment have lived a good life for more than a year, most of them are veterans who have fought with the stone for many years, what kind of hard times have they not experienced? Not to mention that they can still eat meat every day, for them, even if they only have some dry food fried rice to wrap their stomachs, it is good. Compared with those robe brothers who have been sleeping in a foreign land, they can still live to this day, which is already a miracle in itself, where can there be other dissatisfaction?

It was also at this time that news came from Changsha that although the Japanese army had broken through into the city of Changsha, because the commanding heights of Yuelu Mountain had always been under the control of our army, the powerful firepower of the artillery brigade had dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. So far, the general situation has been clear, the Japanese army is already at an absolute disadvantage and disadvantage, and then it depends on how big the devil's losses are in the process of breaking through.

Hearing this news, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment breathed a sigh of relief, but they also felt unhappy in their hearts. In the previous battle, the clumsy performance of the friendly troops caused heavy losses to the entire 74th Army, and Changsha was occupied by devils in just half a month, and even once there were three or four divisions surrounding the 74th Army, and I don't know what the friendly troops were doing at that time! And after they left, the same troops actually fought such a beautiful battle, how could they be happy in their hearts? If all the former friendly troops had been so brave, they would not have to evacuate to Guidi to rest.

However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, it was still very important for the situation of the war of resistance that friendly forces could win a big battle. After all, in the past two years, although the Japanese army's offensive has still been sharp, the two armies are no longer in a one-sided situation as in the 26th year of the Republic of China. Although the troops of the Nationalist Army have suffered heavy losses in the bloody battles of the past few years, the surviving troops and soldiers have become truly elite because of the experience of the war, and their combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved.

What is more important is that I heard that the guerrillas who had penetrated deep into the belly of the enemy army showed great courage and extraordinary ability, and they actually continued to grow in strength under the strict blockade of the devils, not only leaving the occupied areas of the Japanese army on all sides, but also constantly launching counteroffensives to uproot a large number of strongholds built by the Japanese army. This situation also made the officers and men of the national army see the hope and dawn of victory, as long as it continues like this, the Japanese army will not be able to support it sooner or later.

I heard that the devil's small island in the East Ocean is only equivalent to the size of a province in my country, and how many people are there in a province? I have been fighting with the devil for four years, and in the past four years, most of the devil's veterans have died, and the young people who have been added in have also died batch after batch, so how many devils can be replenished? If you win a few more big battles, you may be able to drive the little devils to the land of China as soon as possible.

The battle situation in Changsha has finally put Stone at ease, friendly troops have the advantage, and he is happy that the 74th Army should not be recruited to participate in the war in a short period of time, so that the independent regiment finally has time to take a breath and regain some of its own strength here in Liucheng.

After the New Year, the stone starts to get busy. Except for the officers and men of the three infantry battalions who were stationed and concentrated on training, the others were all sent by Shi to reclaim the land in the west, north, and south of Zhailong. At the same time, in the mountains to the west, he also personally selected the area around Lion Rock as a place for a new farm.

In fact, to say that the place west of the Rongjiang River is not so barren, mainly because it is really troublesome to cross the river compared to the place east of the county seat, and Guidi is a vast and sparsely populated situation everywhere, and the big guys naturally choose the fertile land that is convenient and trouble-free for farming.

And ordinary people, except for the villagers who were originally west of the Rongjiang River, who would like to go to these barren mountains and mountains to open up wasteland? Not to mention the need for staggering investment, these places are more likely to accumulate mountain bandits, and jackals are infested, and personal safety is not guaranteed, so it is naturally better to stay in the vicinity of the county as a tenant and work as a long-term worker. And those rich people, no one wants to spend money on these remote places, although they have money, but the richer the people, the more afraid of bandits, although they know that once these places are developed, the output is much more than here in the county, but they are not willing to risk this life!

However, these problems, which were difficult for ordinary people and wealthy businessmen, were not a problem at all in front of the stone and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, and as soon as they arrived, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company scattered everywhere like a large net. With the experience and strength of these thugs in countless confrontations with devil scouts, it is natural to find out these news. In the following days, Li Wenguang and Xiao Shandong, the chief and deputy battalion commanders of the regimental headquarters and battalions, each led a part of the guards company to sweep around. After arranging these things, Shi Shi didn't even think about these things anymore, this kind of thing is a little difficult for ordinary troops, but for the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, it is a familiar way, considering that a small half of the people in the regiment are now "bandits" captured by the bandits, you can know why Shi is not worried about these things.

And Li Wenguang and Xiao Shandong did not disappoint the stone, a few days later, they came back with a row of prisoners and a cart of supplies, and from the faces of the guards and soldiers, the stone could also see that their operation this time was very smooth. Shi looked at the two young faces of the two of them and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, now that he has fewer and fewer opportunities to go to the battlefield, even with the guard company, there is very little chance to fight, these two boys are just when they dare to fight, is it a bit of a waste to put them in the regimental headquarters camp?
