"Zhao Ye! The attack on the western sector was frustrated, but strange to say, a company of brothers rushed up.

The enemy army is also relatively slow to react, and it stands to reason that it will be able to gain a foothold quickly.

As a result, there was a sudden influx of reinforcements, and this reinforcement was very different from the group of people we had encountered before. ”

It was a deputy from Baoshan who came to report, and Zhao Ming also frowned when he heard this.

In the battle just now, he has been keeping an eye on it.

Because the city wall was brightly lit, it did not hinder observation, but he also saw that the situation was worrying.

It was clear that the city walls were about to be taken, and that area was the weakest compared to the defense lines of other sections.

According to their assumptions, even if reinforcements arrived, their soldiers would already be on their feet, and it would be almost impossible to drive them down.

The enemy troops that came in were really brave, and they were not inferior to their own soldiers.

"What do you think about Lao Zhang? How do I feel that something is wrong with this support force? ”

Zhao Ming looked at Zhang Kai and could feel that the combat ability of this reinforcement on the city wall seemed to be a bit fierce.

More stubborn than the defenders of any previous defensive line.

Zhang Kai fell into deep thought, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, he touched his beard and said suspiciously, "Master Zhao, how do I feel that these people are somewhat familiar?"

I always feel like I've seen it somewhere. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ming was a little interested, could it be that he still had a famous elite soldier under Zhang Li's hands?

The question is that the elite soldiers, haven't they been transferred to the south a long time ago?

"Lao Zhang, what kind of troops have you seen this?"

"I don't know, but this group of people, I don't look like we are from the north of the Central Plains.

You see, their height is obviously shorter than our people from the north of the Central Plains.

And this group of people is really familiar with the way they play, hmm...... I seem to have seen ..... somewhere."

Zhang Kai began to think carefully.

For a moment, his eyes lit up.

"Master Zhao, have you heard a word?"

"Less nonsense, straight talk!"

"Eat hard, be brutal, and be willing to die."

"Sounds a bit like a southern dialect?" Zhao Mingmo rubbed his chin.

And at that moment, the adjutant seemed to remember something.

By the way, the brothers who came back said that they didn't understand what the group was saying.

A few of the words say so. ”

The adjutant organized the language a little, imitated the tone, and then said,

"They said, "We seem to be saying in our mouths, 'We brothers don't have cheeks.'" What does this mean? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ming was also full of question marks.

He was familiar with this dialect, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

In his previous life, he was not a southerner, where did he know this.

But I always feel like I've heard it somewhere.

"Xiaoxiang dialect, people scold us, which roughly means that we are nothing remarkable, we are all a group of local chickens and dogs."

Zhang Kai shook his head with a wry smile, "I kind of know what's going on, where did Zhang Li get this group of Hunan soldiers."

Alas, it is said that the Hunan soldiers are hard-pressed and brutal, and they are not afraid of death, but to put it bluntly, they are a group of hard-boned people, stubborn and unreasonable.

And thanks to the former dynasty Zeng Zicheng, Governor Zeng led the Hunan soldiers to play a famous role.

This matter is a household name in Xiaoxiang, and everyone has their sense of honor.

In his early years, some of the concepts of the governor's training were also taken by many people in Hunan Province.

Alas, that place is a good source of soldiers, obedient, obeying the rules, and fighting is not dead, who doesn't like it?

What a pity! But we met it. ”

Zhang Kai is not to increase the prestige of others, it is true that he is also this thing, and it has been widely spread in recent years.

For example, the Hunan soldiers who are active now can be traced back to the time of Governor Zeng.

Its army has a war song that is particularly famous, the rules should be quiet, courteous, lawful, and orderly.

This was also set up by Governor Tsang for him.

Zhao Ming was also stunned by this, no wonder.

He knows more than Lao Zhang.

For example, the tragic Sichuan Army in later generations, although it is true that it has contributed a lot to the country, but there are really few people who can look down on it in this year.

In these years, although Hunan, Gui and Sichuan were known as miscellaneous armies.

However, in terms of speaking, there was a huge gap in the military quality of these armies in the early stage.

One of the most criticized is the military discipline of the Sichuan army, which is rotten at the top, and naturally not much better at the bottom.

It is said that before the Anti-Japanese War, some of its officers even resold large cigarettes to soldiers in order to make a fortune.

There are serious empty salaries, and there are countless people who fill their pockets.

This also makes the low-level Sichuan army live like a flower child, and is also called the flower army.

It is also called the double-gun army, which refers to a smoking gun in one hand and a long gun in the other.

At the same time, other local armies also mocked, saying that their officers had more wives than soldiers.

However, after such a third-rate army embarked on the road of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, its nature underwent earth-shaking changes.

No one expected this.

But it is undeniable that the Sichuan army in this year shook their heads when they saw it.

In comparison, the Gui army and the Hunan army were much better.

Among them, the Gui Army was known as the Steel Army during the Northern Expedition, and its Li Shuai and Bai Shuai were also well commanded and fought bravely.

In one of the battles, the Gui army wiped out 100,000 troops at the cost of losing 8,000 people, won a complete victory, and completely became famous.

Later, with such a strong team in their hands, Lao Bai and Lao Li dared to wrestle with the national government.

It can be seen that its strength is strong.

As for the Hunan soldiers, it is needless to mention that during the First Sino-Japanese Period, the only troops that dared to compete with the Oriental Army.

Of course, at that time, there were only two armies that could fight, one was the Hunan army and the other was the Huai army, but the Huai army was sloppy and disciplined, like a ruffian hooligan.

Later, the Hunan soldiers were reorganized and were able to be incorporated into the Central Army as a miscellaneous army, which shows that its strength is obvious to all.

Zhao Ming knows more, such as the follow-up Xiangdi, the six major battles, the province's casualties of 2.6 million people, and Xiangdi is known as the Oriental Verdun Battlefield.

It is also equivalent to the whole people are soldiers, and a total of 2.1 million people were dispatched during the Anti-Japanese War, which is about the same as Sichuan, Guizhou and other places.

During the Beiyang period, many bigwigs wanted to pull Hunan soldiers as junior brothers, but on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, they directly followed the national government and mixed with the central army.

But it's a pity that the main force of the Hunan soldiers actually died in the first battle of Songhu.

Among the teams participating in the battle, the Hunan soldiers were regarded as the longest continuous combat time and the largest number of troops invested, with the 8th, 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th, 23rd, 46th, 53rd, 62nd, 63rd, 77th, and 128th Divisions, the 11th Reserve Division, the 37th Independent Brigade, the 11th Provisional Brigade, the 12th Provisional Brigade, and the 13th Provisional Brigade, totaling 15 infantry divisions.

During this period, tens of thousands of Hunan security regiments were also invested.

At that time, in the entire Songhu battlefield, on the side of the national army, there were a total of 70 divisions, and the Hunan soldiers alone accounted for 21%, and the number of troops participating in the battle reached 10%.

It is said that almost all of the soldiers of one division were martyred in eight days.

And the first battle of Songhu was the Hunan soldiers, who dared to be the first in the world, but the first battle became a swan song.

After that battle, the Hunan soldiers were almost wiped out, and the first shot was fired, but the vast majority of them could only be buried here forever.
