This does not seem to be an honor for us, because when many people think of the July 7 Incident, they will first think that our army will lose the two major cities of Ping and Tianjin! This is like a shame and is deeply engraved in our hearts, waiting for one day the soldiers can wash them clean with the enemy's corpses and blood...

Chapter 59 Complete

Fifty-nine Army, Seventy-seven Army, Sixty-eighth Army...

Anyone who has passed the civil service exam may soon find that the numbers of the first group of troops reorganized seem to be somewhat regular... Yes, the sum of three numbers, ten digits, are equal to fourteen, and their significance is very obvious, that is, to commemorate the July 7 Incident, and to tell others that these three troops are the first troops to fight against the Japanese army.

However, this does not seem to be an honor for us, because when many people think of the July 7 Incident, they will first think that our army will lose the two major cities of Ping and Tianjin! This is like a shame and is deeply engraved in our hearts, waiting for one day the soldiers can wash them clean with the enemy's corpses and blood...

Then the vigorous reorganization work began. The merger, affiliation, division of labor, etc. of the command organization naturally did not need to be considered by us soldiers. All we had to do was wait quietly in the barracks and wait for the summit to arrange our team.

"Company Commander!" Li Wenxi walked to me and handed me a cigarette, saying, "What are you going to arrange for the summit?"

I shook my head and didn't say anything. After taking the cigarette, I lit it on the match handed over by Li Wenxi. After spitting out a sip of smoke, I said, "How could we know about this ups and downs... how could we wait!"

"Actually, it's almost the same for us!" Li Wenxi glanced at the soldiers around him and said, "Are you still joining the army and fighting? Are you still fighting with the Japanese? What I worry about is... Will our military training team be demolished when we go to the summit..."

Actually, this is what I am worried about. Not to mention... Although it has only been a few days, the soldiers have lived and died on the battlefield and have some feelings. If it is dispersed like this, no one will be willing to do so. This can be seen from the soldiers' eyes.

I turned my gaze to the old squad leader. He is one of the few veterans in our company, and he should know something.

"I can't say that!" said the old squad leader holding a cigarette pole. "In the past, some of them were divided into some without distinction, but our military training team is a bit special. This team is all trained by educated soldiers. Originally, according to the meaning of the peak... that was to be assigned to the army as the commander..."

"What?" Chen Dali became interested when the old squad leader said this: "Old squad leader, are you saying... the military squad recruits us student soldiers... I originally wanted us to be the commanders?"

"This is unlikely!" Monkey asked in confusion: "Isn't the most important thing for the soldiers who are in the army who can fight and kill? Recruiting us students as commanders? When we were training, other troops were still laughing at us, saying that we had replaced the pen stick with gun sticks, and saying that we were all talking but not practicing..."

"Hey! That's what the soldiers said, what can they understand?" The old squad leader replied: "Our army has fought several battles with the Japanese. Have you heard of the Battle of Xifengkou?"

"Why haven't you heard of it!" The old squad leader said this and the soldiers were excited: "The Big Sword Team of Xifengkou has cut off the Japanese! "

"Aren't five hundred warriors? They attacked the enemy camp at night with big knife grenades, killing and killing thousands of Japanese soldiers!"

"But only 500 warriors survived in the end, and many of us came here to see the name!"

...

Well, after hearing this, I understood why each of the soldiers of the 29th Army had a big sword on their backs. Of course, I also had an understanding of the Xifengkou Battle, but I didn't understand so much.

"No?" As soon as the old squad leader said, he looked a little proud on his face. After he knocked the ashes, he narrowed his eyes and said, "That battle had brought about the might of our 29th Army, and our 29th sword became famous! But outsiders didn't know that we suffered a lot of losses when we were fighting... Our army is a miscellaneous army, and there are few real military academies in the army. Many commanders don't even know how to read the map during the war. Several troops went to the wrong place and suffered losses..."

"Oh!" After hearing this, the soldiers seemed to have some understanding of recruiting students.

"So..." the old squad leader continued: "With these lessons, the military captain wants to recruit some educated, that is, you... I originally planned to train you for three years. In addition to basic military training, the training courses also include literacy and pictures. I don't understand these. Anyway, after graduation, you either go to various troops to be commanders or adjutants. Who would have thought that it would take only a few days to..."

"So that's how it is!" Li Wenxi nodded and said, "I was also surprised at the beginning. People said that it was useless and that it was a scholar. How could the military captain suddenly recruit students to join the army!"

"So..." the old squad leader finally concluded: "Originally, this military training team must have to be divided. Not only do they have to be divided, but they are also divided thoroughly than any other unit. Now I can't say what it means to go up the peak!"

Soldiers, look at me, and I see you didn't say anything. Soldiers know what the old squad leader meant. If the military captain still wanted to play the original role of our military training regiment, then we would undoubtedly be assigned to various units to be low-level officers or deputy officers to improve the cultural quality of the entire unit. However, now we have not undergone the necessary military training at all...will he still do this?

There was a silence in the barracks, and everyone was waiting for the orders from the top and the fate of the military training team...

"gather!"

Finally, when the soldiers heard the order, they rushed out of the barracks without thinking. Thousands of people from a regiment gathered outside the barracks in a short while, and then they heard the head of the education officer holding a loud horn in front of us and shouting: "Now I announce that the military training regiment is reorganized into the 15th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the 38th Division of the 59th Army!"

"Okay!" The soldiers of the military training regiment shouted excitedly. At this time, everyone could hear that the military training regiment had no need to break up. It seemed that not only the soldiers in our company were thinking of not wanting to break up, but the soldiers in the entire regiment were the same.

As the saying goes, true feelings are hard to see. Friends who can meet the suffering together are truly worthy of dating. What's more, we have experienced life and death together and faced the cruel Japanese comrades together. The military training team is also a unit that has been baptized by war and blood. So whether they know or do not know, whether they are veterans or new soldiers have feelings for this unit, and of course they don't want to see this unit disappear from now on!

Later I roughly learned about the organization of the National Army. Unlike the three-three system that we are familiar with in modern times, the National Army adopts the two-two system, that is, one army, two divisions, one division, two brigades, and one brigade and two regiments.

The 59th Army had 38 and 180 divisions under its jurisdiction, and Li Wentian was appointed as the deputy commander. The position of the commander was naturally kept for Zhang Zizhong, and the commander in the army was temporarily under the responsibility of the deputy commander Li Wentian.

Next is the deputy commander’s lecture, the division commander’s lecture, the brigade commander’s lecture... The purpose is to let us know our top peak and have a preliminary understanding of them.

From this, I also learned that my commander was Huang Weigang. I heard from the old squad leader that he was the brigade commander of the 112th Brigade, and the brigade commander was Fan Lishan... But we don’t seem to need to know that much at all, because we just need to know whether our commander or the education commander is. Anyway, we can’t do it if we follow his orders!

The first thing after the reorganization is to unify the firearms. As the old squad leader said, if a unit is not unified, it will be difficult to exert its combat effectiveness on the battlefield. The guns sent to the soldiers are naturally made by Hanyang. For our miscellaneous army, if we do not have the ability, Chiang Kai-shek will not allow the miscellaneous army that may have "unwilling intentions" to have advanced equipment.

However, I did not replace the Zhongzheng in my hand. First of all, of course, it is because Zhongzheng is a good gun with a long range and powerful range. I really don’t want to replace it with Hanyang’s crafts with much different performance in all aspects. Secondly, I am now a chief, and the Kuomintang adopts a protection policy for officers, right? So the greater role of officers is to command rather than combat. As for ammunition... The Zhongzheng rifles of all soldiers in the regiment were replaced with Hanyang’s crafts, so there are not too many Zhongzheng bullets for me!

The only problem I worry about is...what if I finish the bullets on the battlefield? But think about the battlefield I am about to step on is the Songhu battlefield, which is where Chiang Kai-shek's direct troops gather. It will not be too easy to find some bullets for the formal rifle at that time!

What followed was the joint training after reorganization, and the purpose was also very obvious, to make the troops familiar with each other and coordinate with each other.

At this time, the soldiers all knew very well: the reason why the troops were so anxious to get the troops to train on the top was of course to prepare for the battlefield.

To be honest, I already had an inexplicable fear of going back to the battlefield. When I was fighting, I only wanted to save my life and didn’t have time to think about it. After a period of training in the rear, I became more and more afraid... so now that I know that I am going to the battlefield soon, and my heart is thrusting in a tight way.

I think it's not just me who can do this, but the soldiers also have the same feeling, which can be seen from the nervous look in their eyes.

Who can truly face life and death calmly? Who can not be afraid of guns, blood and corpses on the battlefield?
