"Company Commander, the teaching team has sent a message, saying that Commander Xie wants to see you." Liu Yangyang, who had just returned to Guanghua Gate with the trophies, saw the pockmarked face waiting at the city gate. Tang Cheng, who was covered in blood, heard this.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The second company and the teaching team were not very good at dealing with each other. Could it be that the teaching team wanted to find trouble with the second company and wanted to use the reputation of escaping from the battle to rectify the second company. Liu Yangyang didn't think much about it and settled Qiu.
Jiangong, the others and the trophies, followed the messenger sent by the Second Regiment into the city with some letters and diaries found from the Japanese corpses.
The teaching corps stationed at Guanghua Gate belongs to the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade. The leader is Xie Chengrui. Following the messengers, Liu Yangyang walked not far into the city and came to a private house not far from Guanghua Gate. This is the 2nd Regiment.
Headquarters. Xie Chengrui, who has a sickly appearance, is of medium build and has a thin face. With his short hairstyle, he looks very much like the Chairman of the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in his youth. The Huangpu officers who were close friends with Xie Chengrui all said that Xie Chengrui was a member of the committee.
A long direct lineage.
"Report, Liu Fengtang, commander of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, has been ordered to come." Liu Yangyang, who entered the 2nd Regiment Headquarters, stood upright with a calm expression and saluted Xie Chengrui who was working on the map.
The other officers wearing German-style helmets and long riding boots turned a blind eye. Xie Chengrui, who was studying the map with the officers, glanced at Liu Yangyang in surprise. He had always thought that Liu Yangyang was the commander of the second company, but he
I don't think someone else's large trumpet sounds a bit imposing.
Xie Chengrui smiled and put down the magnifying glass and pencil in his hand, and teased Liu Yangyang, who was standing straight and serious, with a mysterious expression, "Are you the Liu Yangyang who took over as the second company commander because of his military exploits and recommendation from the previous company commander?" Xie Chengrui mentioned Liu Yangyang intentionally.
The purpose of Yang Yang's gangster account was to see if the second company commander could still maintain his current state. I heard that this man was a soft-spoken donkey who would not tolerate hard work, so Xie Chengrui wanted to test Liu Yang's determination in person.
"Yes, Liu Yangyang is just a joke made by the old brothers in the regiment. It can't be true." Liu Yangyang still had a straight face and stood upright. After all, the 88th Division is a direct descendant of the **, although the 1st Battalion has all
fell in Shanghai, but as long as the 88th Division does not disband, the 1st Battalion will still have the day to rebuild. Before Xie Bo left, he specifically told Liu Yangyang that he must be cautious when dealing with others, especially not to be caught by the teaching corps.
handle.
"So that's it. Why haven't I seen you before? Then I ask you, aren't you afraid of death? Answer truthfully, my second regiment is not for people with backing like you to hang out." Xie Chengrui's eyes narrowed.
He stood up, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes. The Second Company was temporarily returned to the command of the Second Regiment of the Teaching Corps. This was an order directly suppressed by the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters. Before this, Xie Chengrui had never seen Liu Yangyang, so he did this.
Just ask.
"The chairman of the committee has said that everyone is responsible for the national crisis. Although there are only a dozen or so people left in our second company, there is no one in the second company who is afraid of death." Liu Yangyang didn't know why Xie Chengrui had such an expression, so
Liu Yangyang still answered the questions with a straight face. However, the conversation between Xie Chengrui and Liu Yangyang made several other officers in the Second Regiment Headquarters look askance. The teaching corps is also a direct descendant of the **. If Liu Yangyang was smarter, he could join.
Xie Chengrui's vision is to have a prosperous future. This guy smelling of blood actually dares to talk to Xie Chengrui. Could it be that he has a brain convulsion?
"You're not bad." Xie Chengrui's eyes lit up because Liu Yangyang was neither humble nor overbearing. Perhaps he had taken a liking to Liu Yangyang. His cold expression improved, and he picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to the others.
The officer circulated. "It was very good to use a squad of troops to block a Japanese vanguard team, to repulse the Japanese sneak attack with the death of one man, and to kill and wound more than ten Japanese soldiers." Xie Chengrui said two good things in a row, which kept Liu Yangang
The hanging heart calmed down a little, and he quickly handed over the Japanese military document package captured on the road and placed it on the table.
"After we repelled the Japanese vanguard squad, we fought with the Japanese twice more. Our platoon suffered 6 casualties and seriously injured two people. We killed and injured more than 30 Japanese soldiers in total, killed a Japanese second lieutenant, and captured two Japanese light machine guns and rifles.
"Yuzhi, this is the document package we found from the corpses of the Japanese soldiers. There are some papers and notebooks written in Japanese. I just don't know if the things inside are useful." Liu Yangyang thought for a while, but still did not put the captured Japanese grenades.
After telling the story about the gun, I just took out the seized Nanbu pistol and the document package.
"Hey, this is a good thing." As soon as Liu Yangyang put the Nanfang pistol and the document bag on the table, the officers of the regiment gathered around him. Zhou Shiquan, the loud-voiced first battalion commander, grabbed the pistol in his hand first.
"Why does this kid's pistol look similar to the German Ruger?" Zhou Shiquan, who was looking at the Nanfang pistol, noticed that others were looking at him unkindly, and quickly changed the topic and started talking about the Nanfang pistol.
shape.
"Well, we also happened to rescue a dozen stragglers from the 51st Division who were out for reconnaissance from Chunhua Town. The leader was a sergeant named Guo Tianbao, who was from the 51st Division's reconnaissance company." Liu Yangyang took advantage of the officers to play with the south.
Taking advantage of the pistol, he organized his words in his mind, took a step towards Xie Chengrui, and told him about rescuing Guo Tianbao and the others.
"Oh." Xie Chengrui, who was looking through the Japanese military document package, looked at Liu Yangyang in surprise, with a smile on his slightly raised lips, "This actually makes the 51st Division owe us a favor. There are key points outside Nanjing.
They all fought badly. According to the current intelligence, Chunhua Town was attacked by the Japanese army in the past two days. The Japanese army that the 51st Division's reconnaissance company encountered should be the forward troops of the Japanese army, but the Japanese army did not expect that.
Lian Hui happened to be guarding that intersection."
Xie Chengrui's analysis made Liu Yangyang feel a little discouraged. His second company now still has nine brothers who can shoot. If this continues, he may not be able to wait for a face-to-face fight with the Japanese army.
The Second Company was completely consumed. Thinking of this, Liu Yangyang suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "Then I request that the captured Japanese weapons be given to us for use, and by the way, we can add some more manpower to the Second Company. We only have 9 left."
The fighting men, these people cannot even stop an infantry squad of the Japanese army."
Liu Yangyang's words made Xie Chengrui and the officers laugh. It was the first time for them to see an officer like this bargaining with the regiment leader at the regiment headquarters. They couldn't help but remember this guy with a straight face in their hearts.
Xie Chengrui couldn't stop laughing, and then laughed loudly and agreed to Liu Yangyang's request, "The weapons and ammunition are okay, you can take them back as they are, and from now on, any weapons and ammunition seized by your second company will be picked up by you first.
This condition is generous enough. But I don’t even have a reserve team on hand right now, so where can I find more manpower to supplement your second company?”
Xie Chengrui's answer made Liu Yangyang dumbfounded. If there is no replenishment of troops, wouldn't the Second Company not even have the qualifications to be an infantry squad now? Perhaps seeing Liu Yangyang's worry and hesitation, Xie Chengrui sighed secretly, "
Let's do this. There are only 11 people left in your second company, including two seriously injured people. Otherwise, your second company can be regarded as an independent reserve team of our second regiment. Let's go to the barracks assigned to you first.
Rest and recuperate. Once the fighting at the city gate becomes tense, your second company will be ready to fight against the Japanese troops."
Liu Yangyang spent a long time in Xie Chengrui's headquarters, and finally Xie Chengrui relaxed and promised that Liu Yangyang's second company could give priority to integrating those broken troops who entered Nanjing, as long as they were separated from the original troops*
When the Japanese troops were defeated, Liu Yangyang was allowed to organize them into the second company, but Xie Chengrui only gave Liu Yangyang 150 additional places. Although there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers garrisoned in Nanjing City, the Japanese army was approaching fiercely and the army was pressing down on the border. Those who wanted to defeat the troops were defeated.
Liu Yangyang was not the only one, not to mention that Liu Yangyang was just a small captain and company commander. Facing those military bosses, Liu Yangyang was not even a small shrimp. Giving 150 places to the second company was already pretty good.
After receiving Xie Chengrui's verbal promise, Liu Yangyang was very happy and felt that the bones in his body were filled with joy. The second company struggled hard to Nanjing, but was told that it had returned to the command of the teaching corps, and the 88th Division did not provide additional troops to the second company.
.Liu Yangyang was not as orthodox as Xie Bo, who was born in Huangpu. He only knew the principle of making the decision with his fist. Liu Yangyang, who took over as the company commander, was only thinking about how to strengthen the second company. Xie Chengrui relented and let Liu Yangyang see it.
There is hope for the Second Company to resume its establishment.
The second company's barracks at Guanghua Gate is the same as it was at Zhonghua Gate. It is also a private house. However, the second company now only has 11 seriously injured people, and the private house in the single courtyard seems a bit empty. It is separated from Liu Yangyang at the city gate.
After that, Tang Cheng and others had been taken into the yard. When Liu Yangyang came back, the military doctor of the Second Regiment had already checked the injuries of Nianzi and Zhang Chuang and said that their injuries were not very serious and they only needed
After a while of rest, you will be back to your original state.
As soon as Liu Yangyang entered the door, the people from Erlian noticed the smile hidden in Liu Yangyang's eyes. Even the old scar on Liu Yangyang's forehead was full of joy. Niu Wazi, who didn't know what was going on, could count on himself.
The old men from the second company approached to find out more, but Liu Yangyang gave him a slap in the face. Only then did everyone realize that Liu Yangyang was still the same Liu Yangyang, and what everyone saw just now was just an illusion.
"Tangcheng, take this money and bring two brothers back to get some food. Let's have a good meal tonight. Let's pay homage to those brothers who died in the battle." The cook died, and Erlian now has two
There was no one to cook. Fortunately, when Liu Yangyang left the regiment headquarters, Xie Chengrui gave him 100 legal currency as a reward. Liu Yangyang, who was not good at managing money, gave all the 100 legal currency to Tangcheng.
