Chapter 52: Incorporation (Part 1)
"Platform leader, will you fight?" Seeing that motorcycles and cars passed through the front one by one, a soldier behind the lieutenant platoon leader asked anxiously.
Just as the second lieutenant platoon leader was hesitant, an armored vehicle suddenly stopped, the car door opened, and a black shadow walked out of the car in the dark, and then rushed towards the second lieutenant platoon leader and the others.
The lieutenant platoon leader thought that he was exposed, so he immediately held the steel gun in his hand and aimed at the black shadow rushing towards him. Just as the lieutenant platoon leader was about to shoot, the black shadow suddenly stopped, and the guy standing by the side of the road took out his crotch and peed into the grass.
Maybe it was because he had been holding it in for too long, and the guy was full of energy. The lieutenant platoon leader felt that he was suddenly hit by a hot water on his face.
In an instant, a smell of urine came to his face. The second lieutenant platoon leader was furious and cursed involuntarily: "Damn!"
"Ah, who is there, someone!" The armored soldier who was peeing was startled and immediately took out his gun and pointed it at the Tupo where the second lieutenant platoon was located and shouted: "Who is coming out."
The movement here has alarmed the other officers and soldiers of the security regiment. The convoy has stopped moving forward. The armored soldiers have turned the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the armored vehicles to this side. Several chariots even moved the front of the vehicle. Under the snow-white headlights, the second lieutenant platoon leader and his subordinates suddenly have nowhere to hide.
At this time, Qiao Anbang came with a team of guards carrying guns and live ammunition. At the same time, the guard company commander Wang Gensheng and his men had already detoured behind the two wings of the slope, surrounding the entire area.
"Who, stand up, or we will shoot!" At Qiao Anbang's gesture, a top soldier shouted loudly.
"Don't, don't shoot, we are also the national army, we are our own people." The second lieutenant platoon leader had already seen clearly that the people in front of him were not Japanese, but the national army. He immediately raised Hanyang Zao and several subordinates in his hand and stood up.
"National Army?" Qiao Anbang saw that these people were equipped with simple equipment, unlike the Central Army, and asked in a deep voice: "Which part of you are from?"
"Report to the commander, we are from the 76th Regiment of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army. The rank of Yang Huming, the reconnaissance platoon leader of the 3rd Battalion of the 76th Regiment!" Seeing Qiao Anbang wearing his school uniform, Second Lieutenant Yang Huming immediately stepped forward and saluted and replied.
"The 26th Division of the Sichuan Army? Liu Yuqing's troops?" Qiao Anbang still heard of this Sichuan Army unit that made great achievements in the Battle of Shanghai.
"Yes!" Yang Huming nodded and replied, and then asked, "Master, who is your subordinate?"
"We are the Tiger Ben 1 of the National Revolutionary Army, this is our rank Qiao Anbang!" a senior privateer proudly introduced.
"A bunch of tigers?" Yang Huming shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."
"You are too ignorant? You haven't even heard of our Hu Ben Group? Today, we killed more than 4,000 Japanese devils in Ma'anshan during the day and defeated the Japanese Guoqi Detachment. Have you heard of this?" The top soldier said very dissatisfied.
"You are the Jiheji Security Group?" Yang Huming asked in surprise. Since Yang Huming and his troops did not have radio stations at all, they didn't know the adaptation of the security group into the Huben First Corps.
"Of course, this can be fake!" said the top soldier in a coquettish manner.
"Okay!" Qiao Anbang waved his hand and interrupted the top squad and asked Yang Huming: "Why are you here? In addition, how many defenders are there in Dangtu County? Which part of the defenders are there?"
"Reporting to the commander, I was ordered to come out to reconnaise military information. There are two defenders in the county. One is the local security regiment in Dangtu, with a force of about 800, but the weapons and equipment are insufficient. The other is our third battalion." Yang Huming replied truthfully.
"Oh." After listening to Yang Huming's introduction, Qiao Anbang suddenly had a plan in his mind, which was to incorporate these defeated soldiers and local militia into his own Huben First Regiment and strengthen his strength. For example, Yang Huming's third battalion has participated in the Battle of Shanghai. Everyone can be said to be veterans who have fought for the rest of their lives. As long as they are equipped with advanced weapons of good enough, their combat effectiveness will definitely be excellent.
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Anbang said to Yang Huming: "Person Yang, please take us to see your battalion commander. I have something to talk to him about."
"Yes!" Yang Huming admired the record of Hu Ben's first regiment defeating the Guoqi Detachment, so he did not think much about it and agreed immediately.
Dangtu City, the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion of the 76th Regiment of the Sichuan Army had already entered the city wall under the leadership of the Third Battalion Commander Zhao Gengyuan and were ready for battle.
In addition, the security group in the city was also mobilized by Zhao Gengyuan. The security group leader was a timid guy who was afraid of death. When he heard that the Japanese were coming, he hurriedly took his wife and his eldest wife away. The security group without a leader was directly incorporated by Zhao Gengyuan.
Although Zhao Gengyuan's third battalion had not as many troops as the security regiment, the third battalion crawled out of the dead people in Shanghai. They were all veterans who had experienced many battles. Although the security regiment was large in number, they did not dare to be strong with the outlaws like the Third Battalion, so they had no choice but to obey the orders.
On the city gate tower, Zhao Gengyuan was loading bullets for his box cannon. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the front and shouted: "Battery Commander, look, there is something happening."
Zhao Gengyuan immediately looked up and saw a large number of convoys with headlights on the highway. Looking from the city tower, the convoy was so long that it seemed like it was impossible to see.
"Quick! Order the platoons and prepare for battle!" Zhao Gengyuan looked at the endless convoy of steel-like convoys, and couldn't help but take a breath, but he still forced himself to order.
"Yes!" The messenger responded with a loud promise and immediately took the order quickly.
However, just as Zhao Gengyuan was about to fight to the death, the convoy that was rumbling forward suddenly stopped. With the light, Zhao Gengyuan vaguely saw a small team of soldiers coming forward.
"Battleman, I am Yang Huming! Don't shoot. They are not Japanese, but national army. During the day, they defeated Japanese pheasants and security groups in Ma'anshan!" Yang Huming walked up and shouted loudly.
"Yang Huming?" Zhao Gengyuan was immediately suspicious. In case he shouted loudly to the bottom: "Yang Huming, you come to the city first, let me explain it clearly!"
"Sir, I'll go to the city to explain to our camp first. It's dark and night, otherwise our camp might have suspected that I've become a traitor." Yang Huming turned around and said to Qiao Anbang.
"Yeah!" Qiao Anbang nodded, but he felt a little more praise for the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of Sichuan Army. He was quite vigilant.
Seeing Qiao Anbang's permission, Yang Huming immediately took his several subordinates to walk towards the city gate.
