Chapter 41 Boss Lu
Listening to the remnants cursing Zhao Ergou's name loudly but without exception, Liu Lang nodded with satisfaction.
Veterans who have experienced the test of blood and fire are undoubtedly the most precious wealth of the army. As soon as Zhong Zhaoyun announced that he could select 200 officers and soldiers from the 19th Route Army, Liu Lang immediately thought of the remaining soldiers who had been through life and death with him.
The 30 kilogram cross-country weight is basically impossible for soldiers who lack systematic training in this era. Even the elite Black Hawk Army, known as the best in the army, is only 30 kilometers of training in its strict training subjects.
Faced with a task like Liu Lang that is almost impossible to complete, judging from their actual performance, they are obviously very willing to follow.
35 kilometers, there is no standard, as long as they can run down, Liu Lang is not worried that they will scammers and run less laps. Obeying orders is the most basic quality of being a soldier.
After thinking about it, Liu Lang decided to visit several big bosses of the 19th Route Army and poach people from these big bosses.
Liu Lang naturally knew that he could not be clear about the 19th Route Army. In the battle of Haicheng, the 30,000 soldiers of the 19th Route Army, who were simply equipped, and the Black Hawk Army with airplanes and cannons fought for half a month, and fought a fierce battle, proving that they were worthy of being the iron army on the battlefield.
But Liu Lang knew that since the 30,000 soldiers of the 19th Route Army vowed not to fight the Duchy Army again, and disobeyed the king's order to resist the Black Hawks handed over to Haicheng defense order, this unit had become a big trouble for the king. In the future, when he refused to participate in the fourth encirclement and suppression of the Duchy Army by the Kingdom's army, he was only a flash in the pan when he was besieged by more than 100,000 troops.
Such an iron army, which should have become a nightmare of the Black Hawk Empire Army on the battlefield in the future, actually disappeared quietly in the smoke of the civil war. It is really sad and lamentable.
Liu Lang still admires the generals who commanded such a patriotic army. He had to meet him for that reason. If possible, Liu Lang hoped that such a powerful army could stand on the front line of the Black Hawk Imperial Army's massive offensive in five years, rather than becoming cannon fodder in political confrontation.
Liu Lang first found his direct superior, Commander Wang, the 61st Division, by phone. After Commander Wang heard what Liu Lang said, he readily agreed to Liu Lang's request.
The 61st Division's garrison was not too far from the Fifth Army's field hospital. Liu Lang trotted all the way. In just half an hour, Liu Lang appeared in front of Wang Yuejian's command department. Wang Yuejian, who had been waiting at the door, waved his hand at Liu Lang and jumped to the back row of the truck driver's seat parked at the door.
Liu Lang felt a toothache. This major general's special car was big enough. It was a bit different from the car that the King of Kingdom Army generals sat on the battlefield when they watched movies they watched when they were young!
Perhaps seeing the strange appearance on Liu Lang's face, Wang Yuejian also showed a hint of embarrassment on his face. Wang Yuejian said, "Yes, you don't know. Don't say that he fought a fierce battle with the Black Hawk Empire and almost finished his family's fortune. Before this battle, our 19th Route Army was raised by the king's stepmother. The brothers' military pay was not paid, and I almost didn't even have to ride a horse. What car is there? This car is donated by the fathers and villagers of Haicheng to buy it as a transport ammunition."
Liu Lang nodded silently. Regarding this episode, there is a record in the TV series: In the early days of the war, the kingdom cut off the military pay of the 19th Route Army for several months on the grounds that the financial situation was on the verge of collapse. It was winter at that time, and the soldiers were wearing single clothes and shorts exposed their knees, fighting in the snow and ice. The 19th Route Army fought alone for nearly a month. If it were not for the strong support of the people of Haicheng and all sectors of industry and commerce, and Xue Jingwen's Fifth Army came to the aid, they would have been completely out of ammunition and food.
Liu Lang was more wary of the king's method of using domestic and foreign struggles to eliminate dissidents. After all, he would have to stay under the king's command for a few years now.
Through the judgment of the current situation at home and abroad in the past two months, Liu Lang has basically had a rough understanding of his future path. Grandpa is looking for it, and the thighs of the Duchy Army are naturally to be held, but it is definitely not now.
There are about five years left before the Black Hawk Empire Army launched a large-scale invasion. Liu Lang does not want to waste these five years in fighting with the kingdom. Liu Lang hopes to use these five years to bring out a strong army, a strong army that will make the Black Hawk Empire people bloody. Even if it cannot change the general trend of the entire war, Liu Lang also hopes to use such a force to tell the military and civilians of the kingdom that the kingdom people have never been sick.
Because of the "Haicheng Agreement", the headquarters of the 19th Route Army had moved out of its original garrison, about 30 kilometers away from the garrison of the 61st Division. Trucks were slowly walking on the old road. Looking around, they all had experienced the war between the two armies for a total of more than 100,000 troops.
The two soldiers did not have the interest to continue talking, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
After walking for more than an hour, I passed several heavily guarded cross-checking intersections and finally arrived at the military headquarters.
With the leadership of Wang Yuejian, and the special body shape of Liu Lang, Liu Lang, is also well-known, the gate to the military headquarters has not been subject to much scrutiny.
Under the leadership of a lieutenant colonel adjutant, the two came directly to the largest conference room of the temporary military headquarters. Commander Cai Jin and the commander Cai, who had received the news, were waiting there.
With his military cap intact, Liu Lang stepped into the conference room with his head held high and his chest raised.
Cai Jin and Liu Lang, who was thin but extremely resolute in his face, had seen him in the photo. His pair of tiger eyes were powerful without anger, which was very impressive. But he was not the only one in the conference room. There was actually a man with flat hair and short hair next to Cai Jin.
Liu Lang looked at him without looking sideways and stood attentively saluting: "Captain, Liu Lang, the communication officer of the 61st Division, came to report."
"Oh? Commander Liu, you are from the 2nd Division now. Don't mention the communication officer of the 61st Division!" Cai Jin didn't move, and said slowly.
"Even if Liu Lang becomes a general in the future, the first line in his resume will always be the correspondence officer of the 61st Division of the 19th Route Army." Liu Lang replied loudly.
"Haha, you guys can speak." A smile appeared on Cai Jin's face, with a blank expression, he stood up and raised his hand to return the gift to Liu Lang, and turned his head to ask the man in the coat beside him: "How is it? Boss Lu, there are still many good men in my 19th Route Army!"
The man with a flat head and short hair looked at Liu Lang, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "With a model soldier like Commander Cai who defends his country, heroes like Commander Liu are naturally indispensable under his command.
Boss Lu? Liu Lang began to think like a lantern in his mind.
