On the north bank of Suzhou River, the "Baoshan Camp" position.
Today is a rare sunny day, and what is even more rare is that the little Japs on the opposite side are finally tired and have finally stopped. At this moment, Yue Weihan is lying in the trench basking in the sun, untying his woolen military uniform and catching fleas on his body. There is nothing he can do
, that’s what it’s like when you’re a soldier fighting in a war. If you don’t take a shower for several months, and you don’t have fleas on your body, then you’re a ghost.
As early as the end of September, Cheng Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the left-wing cluster corps, passed the command of Xia Zhongyu, commander of the 98th Division, to give Yue Weihan a direct order to mobilize the "Baoshan Battalion" to the firing line. Yue Weihan immediately led the entire battalion of 42 officers and soldiers as if he had found a treasure.
On the line of fire, Cheng Cheng's original intention was to take the opportunity to give Yue Weihan some pain, but it backfired.
After several battles, Baoshan Battalion was not "easily wiped out" by the Japanese army. Instead, it took the opportunity to grow stronger, especially hosting more than 200 Sichuan troops. After the Gui army was defeated, it seemed to have half the main battalion's lineup. In the end,
The important thing is that Baoshan Battalion definitely has the confidence that other main battalions of the national army do not have!
The food is dry three times a day, and there are big warm meat-stuffed buns to eat every now and then!
Not to mention the equipment, there are Type 92 heavy machine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, crooked light machine guns, Czech light machine guns, mortars, grenades, and even two 37mm combat anti-cannons. This thing is
The nemesis of the Little Japanese Chariot, in terms of firepower intensity alone, the Baoshan Battalion has almost caught up with the two main regiments of the national army!
There was enough ammunition. Other national army troops were living a tight life, but Baoshan Battalion was not.
Since the "Baoshan Camp" had a strong background (Chairman Chiang Kai-shek named it himself and awarded the camp flag), and Yue Weihan had a profound background, Yue Weihan's immediate superior, the head of the 583rd Regiment, did not dare to embarrass them. Xia Zhongyu felt guilty
Psychologically, they tried every means to make up for it. Baoshan Camp's military supplies were replenished first, and they were given as much as they needed.
"It's time to eat, brothers, it's time to eat..."
Near noon, the cooks in the cooking class carried wooden buckets up to the forward position, lifted the white cloth covering the wooden buckets, and the big hot meat buns suddenly appeared in the sun. The Sichuan Army soldiers who had just joined the Baoshan Battalion were immediately ecstatic.
He straightened up and swallowed his saliva while looking at the hot meat buns.
Speaking of which, it was really not easy for the Sichuan Army officers and soldiers.
The 400,000-strong army came out of Sichuan to fight the war with enthusiasm to serve the country, but the Nationalist Government did not provide proper arrangements. The Nationalist Army chiefs in each war zone even pushed each other to refuse the Sichuan Army, which had an unorganized military appearance and poor equipment, to enter the defense zone. The Nationalist Government did not pay them, so they could not
Go and rob, the life of the Sichuan soldiers was really miserable.
In short, since they left Sichuan, all the Sichuan soldiers have eaten is wild vegetable porridge. The porridge is so clear that a human figure can be seen in it. The supply cannot be opened like this, and they can only eat two meals a day. Is this a human life?
When meeting Roubaozi, can the Sichuan soldiers not drool?
With a whistle, the soldiers of Baoshan Camp rushed over with a roar.
The cooks in the cooking class hurriedly advised: "Brothers, don't worry, there are four for each, don't grab it..."
However, the shouts of the cooks in the cooking team were of no use. In less than a moment, several large buckets of meat buns were divided up. Chi Chengfeng wolfed down six of them. Still feeling a little hungry, he grabbed a Sichuan soldier next to him.
He plucked half of the bun out of his mouth, stuffed it into his mouth, and then grabbed the bun from the second Sichuan soldier.
"Why did you steal my buns? You gave me back my buns!" The Sichuan soldier was unhappy after being robbed.
"Grandma, by eating your steamed buns, she is looking down upon you!" Chi Chengfeng said arrogantly, "Don't fucking make me unhappy."
After that, Chi Chengfeng snatched the bun from a Sichuan soldier again, stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing. A Gui Army platoon leader couldn't stand it anymore and came over to teach Chi Chengfeng a lesson, but he was
Chi Chengfeng kicked him several meters away. After landing, he couldn't get up for a long time. The Sichuan soldiers and Guangxi soldiers next to him suddenly fell silent.
In the national army, it is common for veterans to bully new recruits, and for officers to beat and scold soldiers. Those who stutter like Chi Chengfeng are considered good. There are also many unscrupulous veterans who will even force new recruits to do such dirty things.
!
"Chi Chengfeng, what are you doing!?" A low but majestic voice suddenly sounded.
"Grandma, you don't have eyes? What else can I do? Eat steamed buns." Chi Chengfeng responded without replying. After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt that the voice just now sounded familiar.
When I looked back hurriedly, I saw Yue Weihan standing behind him with a livid face. He suddenly stood up, stood at attention and saluted, "camp seat!"
Yue Weihan said coldly: "Were you eating your own buns just now?"
"Sir, I'm not robbing someone else." Chi Chengfeng was a bachelor.
Yue Weihan said coldly: "You have your own rations, why do you want to rob others?"
Chi Chengfeng pointed at the Sichuan soldiers standing next to him and said disdainfully: "Grandma, this group of naughty soldiers, they don't look good when they are standing, they don't look good when they sit down, and when they go to the battlefield, they can be scared to death by little Japs.
It's a waste to give them steamed buns! I can kill a few more little devils when I'm full, what else can they do when they're full?"
"Yes, Platoon Leader Chi is right, whoever can kill the Japanese should eat the buns!"
"That's right, as long as these Sichuan guys and Guangxi guys kill ten little devils each, we will definitely have no problem!"
Immediately, the veterans of the 3rd Battalion started making noises. Obviously, there were many veterans like Chi Chengfeng. On the other hand, the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army and the Gui Army all lowered their heads, and all of them looked ashamed.
They had long been familiar with the glorious achievements of the Baoshan Battalion. If we really talked about military achievements and divided rations, they, "rubbers", would really only suffer from starvation.
Yue Weihan's face suddenly became more and more gloomy. This is definitely not a good sign today!
If we don't take the opportunity to kill Chi Chengfeng and other veterans today, will they rebel in the future? This kind of warlord habit is nothing in the national army, but if they go to the Eighth Route Army in the future, they will be responsible for political ideology
Can the political commissar at work spare them? It would be light to imprison them, but if they run into the rectification movement, they will be shot!
In addition, these Sichuan and Gui Army officers and men have been joining the Baoshan Battalion for some time, and it is time to reorganize them.
In the Sichuan Army, due to the displacement and various injustices they encountered after leaving Sichuan, the passion and pride they had when they left Sichuan have long been gone. In the Gui Army, the defeat of Zhaizao Bin has completely knocked out their spirit.
, although more than two hundred defeated soldiers stayed, they never regarded Baoshan Camp as their "turf".
The reason why these defeated soldiers took the initiative to stay was probably to live under someone else's roof and make a living.
If we don't try to change the thinking and mental outlook of the defeated Sichuan and Gui armies, the consequences will be very serious. Even if Yue Weihan gathers tens of thousands of defeated troops, they will still be an army piled up with sand, and there will be no cohesion at all.
, a few little devils might collapse after a charge. Yue Weihan never needs such a sand army!
In an instant, Yue Weihan already had something to worry about in his heart, and shouted solemnly: "Chi Chengfeng!"
Chi Chengfeng secretly cursed his grandma in his heart, and there was no fear on his face as he replied: "Yes!"
Yue Weihan sneered coldly and said, "Do you think whoever is more capable and has a stronger fist should enjoy privileges?"
Chi Chengfeng replied very bachelorly: "That's the truth! When I first joined the army, if I hadn't practiced the moves for several years, I would have been beaten to death by those veterans! Besides, that's what being a soldier is all about.
?The Central Army, the Northwest Army, the Gui Army, the Yunnan Army, the Guangdong Army, and these beggar Sichuan Army, aren't they all like this?"
Yue Weihan smiled and said, "If I forcefully issue an order in the name of a superior, even if you don't bully others on the surface, you will definitely not be convinced in your heart, right?"
"That's right." Chi Chengfeng snorted, "You are the commander! Even if you let us charge at the Japs alone, we will never frown. But if you want me to be convinced, then you have to press
Here are the rules of the army!"
"Okay, it's rare that you still know the rules!" Yue Weihan nodded and said solemnly, "Then we will follow the rules. That is to say, as long as someone's fist is harder than yours and beats you to the ground, your privileges will also be
It’s time to let others do it. From now on, you have to do whatever they ask you to do, even if they ask you to eat shit!”
"Sir, that's the truth!" Chi Chengfeng smacked his chest loudly and said very arrogantly, "His grandma, as long as there is someone in Baoshan Camp who can fight better than our old Chi, our old Chi will be the one from now on.
The last one is my grandson, my good grandson, let alone eating shit, even if he lets us eat cannonballs, we, Lao Chi, will never complain at all."
"Okay, this is what you said." After saying this, Yue Weihan said to the officers and soldiers who were watching the show, "You guys should also bear witness."
The veterans of Baoshan Camp nodded one after another, but the defeated Sichuan and Gui troops next to them looked indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
