The newspapers that Ge Kunshan brought were read through by Tang Cheng to Liu Yangyang. Now it was not only Liu Yangyang who felt that something was wrong with the war, but even Tang Cheng, who was not very familiar with the Japanese war, noticed that something was wrong.
Although the Fifth War Zone assembled heavy troops to repel the Japanese army in Taierzhuang and caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese army, the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties and the defense line was in danger. Once the Japanese army attacked on two fronts again, the current Fifth War Zone may not be able to
We can win another battle like Taierzhuang.
"Tell Lao Xu and Jiujin to be prepared to go to Hubei at any time. We should prepare things for the road in advance. If the momentum is not right, we will leave." Liu Yangyang didn't want to be called a coward, but he still went to Mantis knowing that he was outmatched.
Liu Yangyang would not do such a stupid thing as blocking a car with his arm. Tang Cheng didn't even think about it that much. He originally wanted to escape from the war and flee to Sichuan. If he hadn't been forcibly pulled into the Second Company by Xie Bo, he would have had this
We had a good relationship, maybe he has now taken root in Sichuan.
The news published in the newspaper made Liu Yangyang depressed for several days. There had been no news about the 88th Division, which made Liu Yangyang worried. But now Ge Kunshan suddenly became the commander of the garrison, which made Liu Yangyang finally
All hope was shattered. Lao Xu and Jiujin, who didn't know what was going on, tried to comfort Liu Yangyang, but were stopped by Tang Cheng, who knew the reason. Only Tang Cheng knew that Liu Yangyang's silence was not to die in the militia.
He is worried about the current war situation with those regiment members.
But it is a foregone conclusion that they will stay in Mengcheng, and now is not a good time to leave. Regardless of whether Liu Yangyang wants it or not, what he has to do now is to recruit new soldiers as soon as possible to form the Mengcheng Guard Group in accordance with the intention of the fifth theater.
Ge Kunshan wanted 800 men for the garrison in the provincial capital, so Liu Yangyang, who had regained his composure, ran to Ge Kunshan's county government to ask for supplies and troops. The arms Ge Kunshan brought back from the provincial capital were only enough for Liu Yang.
The Goat Arms are used by 300 people. In addition to the previous weapons and equipment of the militia, the garrison still has a gap of 0 people and equipment.
"Brother Liu, I have people here asking for money every day. You have to be considerate of me. The establishment of the garrison is 800 people. Can you recruit 500 people first? I'll do the math for you.
There is no problem with the regiment's current weapons and ammunition equipment for 500 men." The cunning Ge Kunshan was obviously a standard veteran in officialdom. He just complained repeatedly and sent Liu Yangyang, who was full of anger, back to the military camp, waiting for Liu Yangyang to return.
When the excitement came, Ge Kunshan had already set off for the provincial capital.
The cunning Ge Kunshan went to the provincial capital and left the recruitment of new soldiers to Liu Yangyang. Although the previous militia had won the battle, the 300-member militia had more than 70 casualties in one fell swoop. Now the Mengcheng people are not willing to do anything.
The men in the family will be sent to the garrison to serve as soldiers. "What else can I do, let's catch young men. This was the case in the early years, and it must still be like this now." Li Linge, who came to the door to agree to the matter, thought of a way to capture the young men.
Catching young men is almost a common method used by the army to recruit new soldiers.
"Let's start with the refugees first. Deserters and single men are given priority. As long as they are adults, I want them." As the war situation develops, more and more refugees are fleeing to Mengcheng. Liu Yangyang learned the news from the casino.
The number of deserters pledging their weapons and bullets at the Tianlu Casino has increased one after another. Maybe recruiting these deserters will be a shortcut. Compared with the common people who don’t understand trees, Liu Yangyang is more willing to recruit deserters. At least they know how to load bullets into guns.
chamber and then punch it out.
The checkpoint privately set up by the Zhou brothers was reopened by Liu Yangyang, but this time the soldiers guarding the checkpoint did not collect tolls. Instead, they asked the old, weak, women and children among the refugees to identify their family members, and the adult men who had no one to identify.
He was left alone by the garrison and dragged into the military camp, including some deserters wearing civilian clothes. "You are all homeless people. Now there are wars and killing little devils everywhere. We are all gentlemen, so naturally
It's time to do what a gentleman should do, so you must join my garrison as soldiers."
Liu Yangyang, who was dressed in a standard Japanese military uniform, stood in front of the crowd with his legs crossed and shouted. Tang Cheng, who was riding a big green horse, scanned the crowd straight. There were more than 60 people in this group, and they were three days old since the garrison set up the checkpoint.
Liu Yangyang didn't care whether they were willing to join the garrison. As long as they were pulled into his military camp, they would have been stamped with the mark of the garrison. The deserters all knew that they were being captured.
It's just that the methods used to catch young men in Mengcheng are different from those they encountered back then.
The 60 people gathered together did not dare to shout in front of Liu Yangyang, because no matter whether they had served as soldiers or not, they could see that Liu Yangyang's military uniform was not a fake. Since the officers were all genuine, then
This garrison will not be a place like a militia. "Everyone can receive a rifle and enough bullets. Although it is not a big fish and meat, I have enough here to keep you full." There are not too many heroic words,
Liu Yangyang only talked about the most direct things like filling his stomach and weapons and ammunition.
Liu Yangyang has been captured as a young man, so he naturally knows what these people who have been captured as young men are thinking. As long as they can have enough food, clothing and clothing and receive their military pay on time, I believe these boys who have no family and no mouth will be very willing to stay.
In the garrison, Liu Yangyang set up checkpoints and brought more than 80 recruits to the garrison. One-third of them were deserters who had received training. Li Linge's team of servants recruited more than 80 recruits from all over the country.
With 130 strong men, including the remaining 0 people from the original militia group, Liu Yangyang's guard group now has a size of close to 500 people.
"Don't move the checkpoint. Give the brothers on the checkpoint an extra carriage and three horses, and ask them to move the checkpoint another three miles. We need to check all the refugees and caravans coming to and passing through Montreal. Beware of Japanese invaders."
Soldiers are mixed in." In the simple war room, Liu Yangyang, whose hands were full of dirt, was leading Tang Cheng to build a sand table. Tang Cheng, who had the rank of sergeant, was promoted to the fifth theater level when Liu Yangyang became a major.
As a second lieutenant officer, being familiar with sand table operations is an essential skill for an officer, so Liu Yangyang, who is free, is teaching Tangcheng about sand table operations.
Tangcheng followed the instructions and took two pieces of small-scale resistance horses and placed them on the road leading to Banqiao Town and Shuangjian Town. He also recorded the number of troops and weapon configuration at the checkpoint on the record board on the wall of the war room. He made the plan concrete.
To everyone, this is the first thing that Professor Liu Yangcheng needs to pay attention to. The rank of second lieutenant is already the position of platoon leader in the regular army of the country. Since Tang Cheng is already the platoon leader, then he
You must think about the lives of the dozens of brothers in your platoon and make all plans detailed, that is, you must be responsible for the brothers under your command.
"Remember the tunnels and ring positions of those bandits in Beishan? I want you to arrange for manpower to dig tunnels and positions here. The digging time can only be after nightfall. When excavation is stopped, the positions and tunnels must be covered and protected to prevent leakage.
Is it possible to leak the news to irrelevant people?" Liu Yangyang now treats Tang Cheng as a real junior officer and teaches him. Even though he doesn't know much himself, for the current Tang Cheng, he has already taught him a lot.
enough.
The changes in the war have made Liu Yangyang, a veteran ruffian, smell the danger. Ge Kunshan said that reinforcements would come to Mengcheng to garrison, but every time Liu Yangyang asked this question, Ge Kunshan always talked about it.
Speaking of the topic of being kidnapped, Liu Yangyang knew that this matter was probably just Ge Kunshan's wishful thinking when he saw him running to the provincial capital for three days and two. Now that troops are gathering everywhere to prepare for the Japanese army, where will there be extra troops?
Mengcheng, so it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. Liu Yangyang no longer expects reinforcements from the Gekun Mountain Pass.
Liu Yangyang had only Tangcheng available to him. Regarding the appointment of officers in the garrison, Liu Yangyang had to compromise with Ge Kunshan and Li Linge, and each placed two company commanders recommended by them in the garrison. As a condition of compromise,
The second lieutenant in Tangcheng became the company commander of the first company of the garrison. While Ge Kunshan and Li Linge were busy adding sand to the garrison to recruit people, Liu Yangyang was busy identifying deserters and defeated soldiers who had fought in the war.
We, these people are not easily convinced by others, but once they can endure it and are willing to stay, the fighting power of these people cannot be underestimated.
Tangcheng's company was the most chaotic in the entire garrison, but it was also the one with the strongest combat effectiveness, because his company had the most deserters. Tangcheng listened to Liu Yangyang's words and did not treat those deserters and defeated soldiers strictly, but just and
He treated the people of the Second Company as he did, and after several interactions, Tang Cheng got the nickname of a child company commander. "It's a good thing that they gave you a nickname. It shows that they already care about you. If they don't even care about you,
If you don't want to pay attention to you, then you, the company commander, have done your best."
Tang Cheng has been thinking about what Liu Yangyang said to him. In fact, he is not useless. At least when facing the Japanese army, Tang Cheng has never taken the initiative to retreat, and Tang Cheng's marksmanship is much better now. Soldier Oil
The disciples also watched the food being served, and knew that Tang Cheng was the nephew of their regiment leader. They just made some harmless jokes with Tang Cheng in private. If they really did something to Tang Cheng that would not go down, they would
He didn't have the courage. Liu Yangyang looked like a person who was not easy to mess with.
"You can read and write, and you can speak Japanese and some Japanese characters. This is your ability. Compared with them, the strongest deserters, you have killed as many little devils as them, so don't
If you underestimate yourself, you must remember that you are a second lieutenant officer." Liu Yangyang taught Tang Cheng some ways of leading troops whenever he had the opportunity. Although Tang Cheng could not play the role of Dinghai Shenzhen in the garrison like Liu Yangang did, Tang Cheng
Liu Yangyang values his tenacity and combat effectiveness.
