Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When news spread that Zhang Shaohua's troops had been surrounded and annihilated, there was an uproar in and outside the city.

    Knowing that the Japanese troops were insufficient, the local forces and wandering armed forces who had been operating in Wunan, Wubei, and Chengxi and displayed various anti-Japanese signs suddenly became panicked.  Even the New S Army units based in Maoshan in the west and Yangzhong in the north felt that Master Chen, a direct descendant of the Wang puppet, would pose a huge threat to their operations.

    For a time, there was a lot of rumors. There were some who wanted to fight against the traitor with blood and put Young Master Chen to death; there were also many people who wanted to "abandon the darkness and surrender to the light" and defected to Young Master Chen; most of them were waiting and watching, wondering what he would do next.  Actions.

    Recruiting surrender and recruiting rebels is an established strategy for growing strength, but growth also requires a digestion process.

    After the airport garrison became famous in the first battle, they did not expand their territory as they expected, nor did they continue to work as a collusion to "strengthen public security" for the Japanese. Instead, they transferred Lin Ying and the baggage team back to Chenduqiao Airport, and the other departments  Then stay in Shizhuang Town to rest.

    As the leader of the group, Master Chen naturally cannot always stay in the city and enjoy his happiness.

    The day after he reached an agreement with Major Murakami and Lieutenant Morita and successfully took over the warehouse of Dacheng Textile Factory No. 1, he led the guards in a non-stop line across the Beijing-Shanghai Line to join the main force.

    "Regiment seat, this is the list of squad and platoon leaders after the expansion of Qiu Camp, Xie Camp and the search team."

    The troops were resting, but operational staff officers Zhang Xiaoguo and Liang Weihua and military chief Chen Changfu had no time to spare. They had just selected more than 1,800 prisoners and were busy studying and reporting plans with Master Chen and others who had just returned from visiting the troops.

    "Chengsong and Wenbin, you are the most familiar with the situation. What do you think of this list?"

    Being selected as the first expanded battalion, Qiu Chengsong was very excited. He pointed at the list and said with a smile: "Either the squad leader or the deputy squad leader. They are all good brothers who have served as commanders. I have no objection."

    The old master took a look at the expansion plan and said meaningfully: "Four reinforced companies of 231 people, a machine gun platoon, an artillery platoon and a baggage platoon, plus twelve messengers and guard squads, Battalion Commander Qiu  , if your expanded battalion has two more infantry guns, it will be no different from the Murakami Battalion. "

    "Isn't it good to have more people?" Qiu Chengsong grinned widely and said, "Our battalion has strong people and strong horses, and you, the deputy commander, also have a bright face."

    Young Master Chen took over the conversation and said extremely seriously: "It's one thing to have more people, but it's another thing to improve the combat effectiveness. Cheng Song, Wen Bin, even though we just won a battle, we also became  It is widely criticized that after the expansion of your two battalions, they will be stationed in four towns. You must not take it lightly. "

    "Tuanzuo, don't worry. You will remain the same as you have been in the past. You will train when you need to train. You will never put your swords and guns in the warehouse and your horses will be released to the south."

    "Then how long will it take for you to adjust after the expansion?"

    "Yang Ying and Chen Ying can be transferred in one week or seven days."

    Chen Liang, the deputy commander and intelligence officer who had remained silent, stepped in and said with concern: "Garrisoning is not that simple. The GCD Jiang Kang 2nd Regiment launched a fierce attack on the Xixiashu garrison last month. Not only that,  They also divided their forces south of Chenxiang Bridge to ambush the Japanese troops who were arriving for reinforcements from Benniu. After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the Niu Dao Squadron suffered heavy losses, and it has not yet regained its strength. "

    "Surrounding a point to provide reinforcements is a common tactic used by the GCD," Zhang Xiaoguo pointed to the map on the table and said solemnly: "As soon as we move in, we will cut off their connection with the Yangzhong base area, so we have to guard against this aspect."

    Wunan is the territory of the Communist Party, while Wubei is an area where GCD activities are more frequent. Young Master Chen pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Deputy Leader Chen, how is the work of the 'Big Sword Society' doing? If you can  With their support, our life should be much easier.¡±

    "I was about to report," Chen Liang pointed to the map. "The monk was willing to contact us, but the meeting place requested to be in Jiaoxi. That is the belly of the Broadsword Association. If it were a trap, the consequences would be disastrous, so I didn't  agree."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT ?

    Qiu Chengsong blurted out without thinking: "Tuanzuo, you can't go, it's too dangerous!"

    "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs?"

    Young Master Chen smiled and said calmly: "I'm not the only one going there. Besides, unlike the Kuomintang and the GCD, he doesn't have any big ambitions and just wants to defend his own territory. Although there are many people, but leaving this place  He can't do anything with only three acres of land, so he's most afraid of retaliation. Even if he has ten nerves, he won't dare to touch me. "

    Zhang Xiaoguo and Liang Weihua looked at each other and said coldly: "Since you are here?If we are determined to go to this Hongmen Banquet, we will make some corresponding preparations.  Two companies from Yang Ying, Lin Ying and Chen Ying were each deployed to the line from Sanhekou to Zhenglu. Zhang Lu Ying went to Chengxi and formed an encirclement with the Japanese troops stationed along the Beijing-Shanghai line. As long as they dared to act rashly, they would be  Serve them all in one pot.  "

    "Cooperation requires sincerity. Besides, the troops need to rest and reorganize, and can no longer be exhausted. It is better for the guard platoon to follow me. You will complete the reorganization of Qiu Camp and Xie Camp as soon as possible, and step up the construction of defenses to ensure that the troops and the incoming munitions are safe.  ¡±

    "Yes!" Seeing that Young Master Chen was determined, Zhang Xiaoguo had to nod his head heavily.

    "By the way, have you thought about how to arrange the prisoners you have screened?"

    "This problem is very troublesome," the old master shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "They are either old, weak, sick, or disabled, or they have bad records. When they are recruited, they are afraid that a mouse dropping will spoil the pot of porridge, and when they are released, they are afraid of pushing them to the GCD or other guerrilla groups.  , so I really couldn¡¯t make up my mind for a while.¡±

    Looking at the dilapidated primary school that had been converted into a headquarters, Master Chen suddenly had an idea, "Since they can't be recruited or released, let them work for a period of time."

    The old master came to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "That's all we can do. Anyway, we are short of manpower now. Let them repair the fortifications and military camps."

    As soon as he finished speaking, a second lieutenant communications officer came in and said, "Report to the regiment, Director Chen has called. The arms and supplies in the warehouse have been inventoried, and the baggage team has been put in place. I want to ask you when the transfer will be available."

    Young Master Chen took the list and read it carefully, then stuffed it into the old master's hand and said with a smile: "There are quite a few possessions, including more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, more than 50 grenade launchers and mortars.  There are also six Swedish 75mm mountain guns.¡±

    This made Zhang Xiaoguo ecstatic and couldn't help blurting out: "Regiment leader, with these treasures, we can form an artillery battalion."

    "Yes, we must hurry up on this matter. The artillery officers are not enough to care about Chen Changzu, and we should not be petty in training. Just keep two basic shells, and I will shoot out the rest."

    ¡°What happens after the fight?¡±

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of the fight. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together off to prove that he is not a traitor, Master Chen never thought about winning the war of resistance, so he simply waved his hand, "The old won't go, the new won't come, let's talk about it after the fight."

    In the process of encircling and annihilating Zhang Shaohua's troops, a 75mm mountain gun and a 75mm field gun were already useless because the shells were fired. Now he asked himself not to be reluctant to part with the shells. Zhang Xiaoguo was so dumbfounded that he couldn't say no for a long time.  Speak up.

    With a warehouse of arms, Mr. Chen has never been so generous as he is today. After thinking about it, he said: "Also, I can't go to the monk's Hongmen Banquet empty-handed tomorrow. You can use it from the pile of scraps and scraps that were seized."  Pick a hundred shots that can be used, and prepare three to five thousand rounds of ammunition to avoid people saying that we are not sincere. "

    According to the current quantity of equipment, machine guns can already be assigned to the squad. The weapons made by all nations captured by Zhang Shaohua¡¯s troops in encirclement and annihilation are really nothing.  But Chen Liang, who was always careful with calculations, could not see him being so lavish. He took the list and looked at it again, "Group members, we don't need such a big deal for our first meeting. In my opinion, the number has been halved. As for those that are not needed for the time being, all  If I take care of it, I can not only sell it to supplement the military salary, but I can even buy it for peace."

    Young Master Chen raised four fingers and asked with a half-smile, "You mean to do business with them?"

    "They are very generous with their money. They never pay back the price when buying medicines. As long as they give money, who are they not doing business with?"

    This might be an opportunity to reach a tacit agreement of non-aggression. Young Master Chen weighed it up and agreed: "Let's do it, but we must make it clear to them that we will not offend others unless they offend us, as long as we don't do anything on our territory."  Then we can be good neighbors with them.¡±

    "I think so too."

    While talking, Zhang Lu reported that everyone wanted to go in and ate in a pot. Of course, Master Chen would not turn them away. He motioned for everyone to go back and do their own business, and said with a smile: "Captain Zhang, you are in a hurry to see me."  What's the matter?"

    "Reporting to the regiment, in our battalion's operation the day before yesterday, more than 20 brothers were killed and more than 30 brothers were seriously injured. I heard that Qiu Camp and Xie Camp are about to expand. Can you please let me pick a few before the expansion of the two battalions?  ?¡±

    Although the person in front of him is Li Shiqun's confidant, he still respects him. At least, he has never acted against him openly or secretly, and he has never done anything sneaky.

    Young Master Chen patted his arm and said with a bright face: "Of course there is no problem. In fact, Staff Officers Zhang and Wei have already considered it for you. Tomorrow morning, we will select people with the search team, and we will recruit them after you have finished selecting them."  Qiu Ying and Xie Ying.¡±

    "Thank you for your seat.""By the way, Director Li is very satisfied with your performance this time and said that he will personally come to express condolences to everyone next month. Battalion Commander Zhang, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparing goods. No matter in terms of morale or combat effectiveness  , there is still a big gap between your camp and Qiu camp, Xie camp, Lin camp and Chen camp, so we must pay close attention to training. "

    In the process of encircling and annihilating Zhang Shaohua's troops, the mission was the simplest, with the fewest bandits on the front, but the casualties were equivalent to the sum of the Qiu, Xie, Yang, Lin, and Chen battalions.  Zhang Lu felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this. Now that he heard what Master Chen said so seriously, he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

    Seeing his face turning red, Young Master Chen changed the topic and said, "Those who understand clearly know that this young master abides by his promise and cannot interfere too much; those who do not understand clearly think that this young master favors one over the other and does not evenly serve a bowl of water.  People's words are scary, so I plan to transfer 30 backbones to serve as squad leaders and deputy squad leaders for you, and send four more consultants to try to refresh the spirit of the entire battalion before Director Li comes. I don't know about Battalion Commander Zhang.  Any comments?"

    Young Master Chen has a strong man and a strong horse, and now he can recruit as many soldiers as he can with the amount of food and salary. Zhang Lu didn't think that he would really take advantage of his small number of people, so he agreed without thinking: "This is a battle between the regiments."  Zhang Lu has no objection to our battalion¡¯s concern.¡±
