Chapter 3: Invincible (4)

According to the deputy of the Qin regiment, he and the three infantry battalion commanders were veterans who had been streamlined from the troops, and after the Jiang Gui War in 1930, the three battalion commanders suffered the same fate as Mo Di and went to the militia as captains. Qin Zhenyuan's fate is slightly better, this Liucheng man is a battalion commander of Liu Rifu's department, after 1928, Liu Rifu because of age, gradually faded out of the military and political situation, as his subordinate, can only get worse, in 1933 Liu Rifu died, this branch is even more scattered, he was arranged to go to the Nanning branch of the Central Military Academy, for a year of political study, after the study was assigned to the Liuzhou garrison, assigned to the Yishan militia as a major chief instructor.

Originally, I thought that he would live in Yishan for the rest of his life and be with the militia group, but he didn't expect that the anti-Japanese army would rise again, and when Qin Zhenyuan got the appointment letter of deputy head of the lieutenant colonel, he was so excited that he shed tears, took off the militia uniform on his body, put on a regular standard uniform, and put on an old Colt M1903 gun from the United States on his belt, and immediately felt a lot more energetic.

The three battalion commanders had been with him for many years, and everyone knew each other very well, so Qin Zhenyuan asked the signal corps to go to the river, informed the three battalion commanders and nine company commanders, and said that the regiment commander had arrived, and asked them to get dressed and report to the regiment headquarters.

The regiment headquarters is a small blue brick building, with a three-entry brick and wood structure, a patio in the entrance, and a hall on each floor. Qin Zhenyuan brought Mo Di to the last entrance, and in the middle of the hall hung a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, and next to the portrait was a couplet: The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still have to work hard, and the handwriting is good, strong and powerful. There was a large table, and around it was a circle of chairs, which were old-fashioned lamp-hung chairs, black and red, and it was impossible to tell what kind of wood it was. There is a side door on the right side of the patio, and there is an independent side courtyard close to the side door, Qin Zhenyuan asked the Xu Ping brothers to take their people to clean up in the courtyard, and Mo Di will live there with them in the future. As for the two members of the Political Department, they lived in the cross-courtyard on the left with the rest of the regimental headquarters, and the artillery company and the engineer company had not yet been established, and the two company commanders remained at the regimental headquarters for the time being.

After a while, the battalion and company commanders trotted all the way into the regiment headquarters, the battalion commander had changed into the official clothes of the national army, but the company commander was still dressed like a regimental soldier, and came to stand up and salute in front of Mo Di, the three battalion commanders saluted in a decent manner, and the nine company commanders had their own characteristics, with their chests and stomachs protruding, their elbows and hands low, their heads bowed and their backs, their eyes looking at the sky, and so on. Although Guangxi's militia system has achieved the ability to entertain soldiers among the people, the quality of grassroots officers is also relatively poor, especially in newly established units, and with such company commanders, it is conceivable that a company is a group of peasants who have put down their hoes.

Qin Zhenyuan first introduced the regiment commander Mo Di to a group of subordinates, and told them that this person was fought in the Longtan War, and he also stayed in the militia like us, and also participated in the advanced class of the Central Military Academy. Looking at the expression of the battalion company commander below, he was a little unserious.

Mo Di saw the mentality of these people, but he didn't want to stand up, but said with a smile: "Deputy Qin Tuan has added face to me, and praised me so well, even I don't know if it's me." Everyone is of similar age, and they all crawled out of the pit of the militia group, and they will scoop food in a pot in the future, and everyone will understand and help a lot. ”

Liu Bolong, the commander of the first battalion, is a man of medium stature, in his thirties, with dark skin, like an old farmer who has been farming for a long time, he is obviously the eldest of the battalion commanders, and when he opened his mouth, it turned out to be a Hunan accent: "The regiment seat is too modest, although we are all from the militia, but we also know that the next step is to go north to resist Japan, no one knows whether we are dead or alive, and I hope that the regiment commander can take us out and bring us back." ”

"Yes! This time to send troops, more dangerous than usual, our family heard that I signed up for the army, even my tablet has been prepared in advance, according to my Lao Tzu's words, when the news comes back, just put it up. "The one who spoke was the commander of the first company, this is a local, named Chen Zhengxin, twenty-five or sixteen years old, at first glance he is a gangster, he doesn't know how to farm or do business, so he mixes in the militia and leads a group of people to do nonsense.

"Huh!" Mo Di said with a smile: "I heard the introduction of the deputy of the Qin regiment before, the three battalion commanders have participated in the Northern Expedition, and the first battalion commander is still the Seventh Iron Army that joined in Hunan. There are no immortals in war, and those of us who are undead have reasons and reasons for not dying, such as me, I am a dwarf and a thin man, and the target is small, and the opponent's bullet is not easy to hit, so I survived. Deputy Qin Tuan was chatting with me while waiting for you just now, and he thought that the reason why he was able to immortalize was mainly because Liu Rifu was old and handsome, and his green forest thinking left the greatest vitality for the team below. The three battalion commanders of you also talked about how you survived the Northern Expedition, and you must have a story. ”

In a relaxed atmosphere, the three battalion commanders also told some of their own stories on the battlefield, and the nine company commanders were silent when they heard it, and finally knew that it was not easy to survive on the battlefield, especially at the level of the company commander, it was common to change one or two company commanders in a battle, and if you were lucky, you were injured and carried down to heal it and then go to the battlefield.

After eating a whole fish feast, three company commanders retreated, one accidentally fell and broke his leg when he went home, one burned his butt while taking a hot bath on a hot day, and the other disappeared directly for no reason. Mo Di discussed with Qin Zhenyuan, and asked Xu Ping and Xu Le to take up the deputy company commander and acting company commander of the two companies, but the artillery company did not, Li Baicheng became the infantry company commander, and led the team to train first. Wei Zhigao began to select soldiers who had worked as carpenters, masons, and blacksmiths among the 1,300 people in the regiment to form an engineer company.

The chief of staff sent by the military department, Ning Mingren Huang Tianhua, a graduate of the seventh phase of Huangpu, was in place on the third day, and the 1056th regiment was comprehensively adjusted, and the battle sequence was as follows:

The head of the regiment is invincible

Deputy head of the regiment Qin Zhenyuan

Chief of Staff: Huang Tianhua

Director of the Political Department Jiang Chunyang

Director of the Logistics Department Qin Jishi

Zhao Guolong, a police officer at the regimental headquarters

First Battalion Commander Liu Bolong

First Company Commander Chen Zhengxin

Second Company Commander Xu Ping (acting)

The commander of the third company, Lan Daigang

Second Battalion Commander Li Shiqi

Fourth Company Commander Xu Le (acting)

Fifth Company Commander Huang Changding

Sixth Company Commander Zhang Qingzhu

Third Battalion Commander: He Degui

Seventh Company Commander Wei Ridare

Eighth Company Commander Li Baicheng

Ninth Company Commander Liu Jide

Engineer Company Commander Wei Zhigao

The large-scale military training in full swing began.

The three battalion commanders are all people who have seen life and death on the battlefield, know the importance of military training, and also have a set of rules and regulations for their own military training. The nine company commanders have their own characteristics, relatively speaking, the most formal is Li Baicheng, the most cruel is Xu Ping, the most eccentric is Xu Le, and the other six company commanders are all watching how these three practice.

As a regular student graduated from Guangxi Aviation School, Li Baicheng's requirements for the queue are quite high, his company is the best looking, the horizontal and vertical rows are neat and tidy, and the military appearance is also very standardized. Mo Di used one word to describe his company: order and forbidden.

Xu Ping's company, as soon as the practice began, was Siping Dama, and then there was a set of long fists that Mo Enemy taught the militia to use when he was in Pingle, which was a set of routines selected by Mo Die in combination with actual combat, which had great guiding significance and actual combat value. The commander of the first battalion immediately recognized this body glove path and asked the whole battalion to follow suit. What's the end is that on the third day, Xu Ping added a gun on the basis of Siping Dama, and asked the horse to step and not move the gun at all, which hurt the soldiers of the first battalion, and at the end of the day, the back and legs hurt, and squatting and have become a problem. Mo Di gave his company a word: solid foundation.

Xu Le's company started running early in the morning on the first day, ten miles, and the last five cleaned the toilet. After breakfast, I began to practice climbing trees and climbing over the wall, going to the house and entering the house, and in the afternoon I practiced the queue in a very short time, and then I used the empty gun to draw accurately, standing and squatting and lying down, and one posture was an hour, so that the soldiers' arms were numb, and they couldn't hold chopsticks for dinner at night. Mo Di gave his company another word: Heavenly Divine Soldier.

Wei Zhigao's sappers were the most depressed, in their opinion, being a soldier is no different from being a farmer before, the hoe is still the hoe, the shovel is still the shovel, the only difference is that the peasants dig the ground, they dig the ditch. Digging ditches and roofs, building bridges and paving roads, none of them are what a normal soldier should do. Qin Zhenyuan was very supportive of the work of the engineer company, and he believed that with this engineer company, the casualty rate of the team could be reduced by more than half. His words were not very incomprehensible to the soldiers.

After practicing for half a month, the soldiers finally came to practice ammunition, and the soldiers had the opportunity to play live ammunition for the first time, nine companies, the first place was Xu Le's fourth company, the second place was Xu Ping's second company, the third place was Chen Zhengxin's first company, and Li Baicheng's eighth company ranked sixth.

Chief of Staff Huang Tianhua told Mo Di that the position of the main force of the first battalion of this regiment has been completely determined, and the reason why Chen Zhengxin's first company was able to win the third place is inseparable from the long-term squatting of Liu Bolong, the commander of the first battalion, and it seems to be very effective. If you want to raise the training of the troops to a higher level, you can consider going to the fifth company for the regiment commander, the third company for the deputy regiment commander, the ninth company for yourself, the first battalion commander to squat for one company, the second battalion commander for six companies, and the third battalion commander for seven companies, so as to bring the troops out hand in hand.

Mo Di completely agreed, and asked Qin Jishi to ensure the material supply of the whole regiment, and not let the soldiers train hungry. The regimental headquarters police platoon all went up the mountain to hunt, and every day they had to ensure that one person had three taels of meat, wild boars, wild sheep, wild cattle and hares, even mountain rats. There are fish in the Longjiang River, and you can fry them with *, and how much they will be fried.

The next training has entered*, just for Mo Enemy One sentence: If you want to survive, you can only practice more! Let the soldiers consciously take the initiative to practice more and more, and no longer complain about being tired. Mo Di expects that in another month, his army will be basically formed.

However, the Japanese did not give so much time, yesterday there was already news, the Japanese army attacked Shanghai, it was August 13, 1937 AD, Mo Di knew that his time to set off was approaching, intensified practice, one more day of practice is a day, one more day of practice can reduce the loss of one day, can live a few more lives.

On 24 August, the Japanese captured Nankou, and the Chinese army retreated to Juyong Pass.

On August 27, Juyong Pass was lost.

On 31 August, the Japanese attacked Wusong with all their might, followed by an infantry landing. On the same day, Japanese planes bombed Guangzhou.

On August 31, the 1056th Regiment received an order to sail to Liuzhou for reconstruction, and after three days of preparation, it went down to Guangzhou by ship.
