Rise From Eight Hundred

Ye Chenghuan told Tang Dao that some people in the special training camp were gathering to make a noise!

The so-called special training camp refers to the prisoners of war transferred from the 17th Division. According to the rules of the Four-Line Regiment, new recruits have a two-month training period. Although those prisoners of war are veterans, they are not clear about the various regulations of the Four-Line Regiment, so they have a certain special training period.

The so-called gathering to make a noise is just Ye Chenghuan using the art of language to reduce the severity of the matter. To put it bluntly, it is a gathering to make trouble.

At this time when the whole regiment has entered the war readiness period, the Four-Line Regiment Headquarters can completely suppress it by force, at least find the leader and kill him as a warning to the rest.

However, it is really embarrassing that such a thing happened when Shangguan Yun and others first arrived.

Tang Dao waved his hand, indicating that everyone should continue to eat, and he and Ye Chenghuan went outside to inquire about the situation carefully.

The number of people in the special training camp established by the Four-Line Regiment this time is not the 1,000 people that Tang Dao had previously requested from the 17th Division, but a full 2,063 people.

Moreover, it was a complete organization, a special forces regiment of the original 39th Independent Brigade of the 29th Army.

It turned out that the prisoners of war assigned to the 17th Division were not the 4,000 they wanted, but more than 5,400, which was the entire 39th Independent Brigade of the 29th Army.

Among them, there was the bad intention of the stingy old man, which was also his small revenge on the 17th Division for holding Fujiwara Sen's troops and "using merit to invite rewards".

Moreover, the stingy old man had a trick up his sleeve. All the school-level officers were taken into the war zone senior officers training team, and the 17th Division was given low-level officers and soldiers. This invisibly increased the difficulty of management, and the 17th Division had to invest a lot of senior officers.

In short, the stingy old man played the realm of "you make trouble for me, I will give you eye drops" to the fullest.

As for what happened to this entire infantry brigade, we have to start from the anti-Japanese war in North China at that time.

After the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, the 29th Army, after a week of fighting, found that if it did not retreat, it would be surrounded by a large number of Japanese troops entering North China. So it gave two infantry brigades to Zhang Junchang, then the commander of the 38th Division and the mayor of Pingbei City, to guard Pingbei City and negotiate with the Japanese army. The main force of the 29th Army retreated southward. The independent 39th Brigade was one of the two infantry brigades.

Later, the negotiations failed, and the Japanese army gathered heavy troops to capture Pingbei City. The well-equipped independent 39th Brigade faced three divisions of enemy forces that were ten times larger than its own. It had no choice but to surrender with hatred. The entire brigade became prisoners of war, and all its equipment was seized by the Japanese army.

Faced with such a desperate situation, requiring everyone to fight to the death, especially at that time when it was not known that Japan was going to start a comprehensive invasion of the entire China, was really not something that everyone could do.

Tang Dao could not know the thoughts of those Chinese soldiers at that time, but he still believed that they were not all cowards.

Cowards will not stay until the end!

Therefore, in the negotiations with Saburo Okabe, Tang Dao specifically mentioned the 39th Independent Brigade. The equipment he asked for was basically the equipment of the 39th Brigade. Saburo Okabe did not play any tricks. Among the more than 30,000 prisoners of war returned, the original 6,000 officers and soldiers of the 39th Independent Brigade, except for hundreds of people who died in the prisoner-of-war camps and some officers and soldiers who defected and surrendered, the remaining more than 5,500 were returned to China.

It is almost equivalent to a complete infantry brigade. It is naturally a small matter to put it in the Second War Zone with 300,000 troops. Not to mention the division, it is also possible to set up a separate brigade. But it is a bit bad to give it all to the 17th Division with less than 7,000 troops.

Humans are social animals. When they arrive in an unfamiliar environment, they will naturally choose to stick together. An infantry brigade of more than 5,000 people stick together. What a terrible force that is? Not to mention that the 17th Division needs time to digest, it may be accidentally burst.

But Commander Yan said very clearly: In view of the fact that the 17th Division fought bravely in the battles of Niangzi Pass and Southeast Shanxi, and suffered serious casualties, this allocation was made!

Moreover, Commander Yan actually issued an infantry regiment to the 17th Division. Anyone who said that the commander was not doing a good job would be judging others by one's own standards!

Division Commander Zhao also had a hard time speaking out. After thinking about it, he had to ask the Four-Line Regiment for help. Tang Dao was not in the regiment, so he found Lei Xiong and Ye Chenghuan.

What unit did Ye Chenghuan come from? He was always short of soldiers, so why was he afraid of having too many? He immediately agreed and asked for the special service regiment of the 39th Brigade in one go.

The special service regiment is actually somewhat similar to the special service battalion of the Four-Line Regiment, but it is just some technical arms such as cavalry, artillery, engineering, medical supplies, communications, etc., plus a guard battalion. If it is really pulled out to fight, its combat effectiveness may not be as good as a real infantry battalion.

Of course, it cannot be said that Ye Chenghuan is too confident and wants to swallow such a huge force in one go. This is also determined by the current situation of the Four-Line Regiment.

Front-line infantry is easy to train. After two months of intensive training, a recruit can go to the battlefield. If he fights a few battles and survives, he can become a veteran.

But the training cycle of technical soldiers is much longer. For example, cavalry, without a year of training, let alone killing the enemy on a galloping warhorse, it is a problem whether they can sit firmly on the saddle.

And many arms of the Four-Line Regiment are about to be replaced, such as the artillery battalion. Many artillery and machine guns, large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns and equipment have been transported, but many backbones of the artillery battalion have been withdrawn by the fire support companies of various infantry battalions, and the remaining personnel cannot use so many equipment at all.

It can be said that this batch of technical arms is not a timely help for the Four-Line Regiment at this time, but it can be said to be an emergency.

As long as this group of "prisoners of war" soldiers can fight for the Four-Line Regiment with peace of mind, the combat power of the Four-Line Regiment's cavalry, artillery, engineering, medical, communications and other arms will reach a new level.

For this group of prisoners of war, their previous surrender made them feel humiliated. It is also a good thing to come to the Four-Line Regiment at this time and have the opportunity to fight the Japanese army to wash away the previous shame.

It can be said that it is also a win-win result.

But if the two sides want to keep their ideas on the same level, it requires long-term getting along and running-in, just like the way a couple gets along.

Before arriving at the Four-Line Regiment, the prisoners of war had already gone through two rounds of review, and dozens of suspected collaborators were found. As a result, when they arrived at the Four-Line Regiment, they all entered the newly established special training camp for special training.

The chief officer who led the training of the special training camp was naturally Ye Chenghuan, director of the Political Department. His proposition was that various tactics could be learned on the training ground and on the battlefield, but ideological education must keep up.

After all, the Four-Line Regiment was not the 80th Army Group. Patriotic education and various regulations and rules of the Four-Line Regiment were the main content of learning.

Before Tang Dao returned, this kind of learning had lasted for nearly a month.

Hearing this, Tang Dao basically understood the crux of the problem.

This would not be a problem for veterans or even new recruits of the 80th Army or the Four-Line Regiment, but for these officers and soldiers who have served in the 29th Army for a long time, especially those who have been in the prisoner-of-war camp for a year, they began to have resistance after a long time.

They have been hurt physically and psychologically, and they will have strong self-doubt and exclusive suspicion, and will think that the Four-Line Regiment looks down on them because they have been captured by the Japanese.

Today, because Tang Dao returned with Shangguan Yun and others, Ye Chenghuan, who was originally in the special training camp, went to greet them with several lieutenants and captains, causing lunch to start a little later than usual. The officers and soldiers of the special training camp, who had long been dissatisfied, took this opportunity to gather together and shout slogans, hoping to have a dialogue with the highest commander of the Four-Line Regiment.

"Captain, I'm really sorry. I didn't do my job well. I can't let Captain Shangguan and the others see me making a fool of myself. I'm going to the special training camp now. These guys are really lawless." Seeing Tang Dao's serious face, Ye Chenghuan couldn't help but blush slightly and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

"Old Ye, it's not a question of who is right or wrong. In fact, many of your ideas are correct. I and other officers and soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment also agree with them, but for these officers and soldiers who came from the old warlords and were physically and mentally hurt in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, it may be a little radical. Of course, I also know that you know that a big battle is about to start, and you are anxious." Tang Dao shook his head and rejected Ye Chenghuan's apology, but he also gave some sincere suggestions.

"Well! In the future, I will also adjust the training subjects according to the conditions and status of the officers and soldiers themselves, and don't be too eager for success." Ye Chenghuan is very smart and immediately finds his own problems from Tang Dao's words.

"Okay, they want to talk to me! Leave this to me." Tang Dao admired Ye Chenghuan's pragmatic attitude and nodded.

"By the way, you just said not to let Captain Shangguan Yun and others laugh at you. I think so! Since we are a family, we should not only see the bright side. Sometimes it is a good thing to expose some problems. If there are problems, we should solve them. It is better than having problems on the battlefield, right!"

"Captain, you are right!" Ye Chenghuan looked at Tang Dao, who was a few years younger than him, with admiration.

At this moment, he finally knew why the brigade commander found him and asked him to learn more from Tang Dao before he took office. Tang Dao's strength lies not only in strategy and tactics, but more in mind and courage.

Unite all forces that can be united to fight the war, never hesitate to pay for friendly forces, and at the same time not afraid of exposing their own problems and shortcomings, seek truth from facts, aren't these qualities very similar to his old leader?

No wonder the two people who are more than a dozen years apart can become close friends.

"Okay, you accompany the brothers who just returned home to visit the artillery battalion and the cavalry battalion, and I will find a few people to accompany me to the training camp. Hehe, I haven't used my mouth to educate people for a long time, and my hands are a little itchy." Tang Dao smiled and clenched his fists, and the joints made a slight "crackling" sound.

"Captain, don't use your fists!" Ye Chenghuan felt a little pain in the head.

Tang Tuanzuo is good in everything, but this violent gene is a bit serious.

Last time the reconnaissance company was training on the training ground, they happened to meet Tang Dao. Several guys shouted for the commander to give some instructions, but Tang Dao directly said that all sixteen people in a squad should go up.

The reconnaissance company is made up of carefully selected strong soldiers. When they heard this, they were excited, and the sixteen guys rushed forward.

The result can be imagined. Tang Tuanzuo showed his power, at the cost of his own swollen eyes and bleeding mouth, he knocked down sixteen elite soldiers with his bare hands, and four of them were knocked out on the spot.

When the captain of the medical company who received the wounded heard the cause of the injury, Tan Tai Mingyue almost jumped up and looked for a certain "awesome" regiment commander all over the world, wanting to ask him if he thought the medical company had too much medicine stored and the medical staff were too idle.

It was the commander Tang who was smart. He told them in advance to inspect the fortifications of several infantry battalions and check the geographical survey of the handsome old man Tan Tai. He was gone for two days, which prevented him from being caught by his fiancée.

Of course, many people suspected that Tang was afraid of being discovered, so he had a black eye, which would make Captain Tan Tai Mingyue even more angry. Two days was just enough time to reduce the swelling.

Especially the idea of ​​talking to his father-in-law about work was simply brilliant. Anyway, his father-in-law would not feel sorry for him when he saw the dark circles under his eyes, and he could also protect him.

A "good" husband for sure!

......

Tang Dao only brought Shangguan Yun, Cai Yongguan, and Lao Suanpan, who had just recovered from a serious injury, and did not even bring the guard squad. The four of them rode horses to the special training camp five miles away from the regiment headquarters.

There was also a valley there. Part of the flat ground was used to build temporary barracks with military tents, and part of the flat ground was used as a training ground. The valley entrance was made up of sandbags and barricade trenches to form a simple fortification, and a fully armed infantry platoon was stationed.

In other areas, only mobile sentries were arranged, because there were mountains outside the valley, and if they could really run out, it would be considered a skill.

It's not that the freedom of the officers and soldiers of the 39th Brigade who transferred here was restricted. They were completely free in the special training camp after completing the training subjects. It was also a daily routine in the military camp that they had to go to bed after the lights-out sounded. The daily meals were also rationed according to the official standards of the Four-Line Regiment. In order to strengthen their nutrition, 2 taels of meat were specially added every day.

Usually, these officers and soldiers were honest and strictly followed the military regulations in training and life, but today was a little different. In front of the simple camp gate fortifications, at least 500 to 600 people stood and raised their arms and shouted slogans, and more than 1,000 people watched not far away.

The garrisoned infantry platoon was a little nervous, and many people entered the fortifications. The leading second lieutenant was still talking to the leader who was shouting slogans and patiently comforting him.

The weather in August was hot, and now the second lieutenant was anxious and sweat ran down his face.

Obviously, the second lieutenant was surprised by the disturbance of these people who were about to become his comrades. Although he was sure that these people would not be so bold as to attack the fortifications used for security, as a member of the special forces battalion, he also knew that once the disturbance started, it would inevitably have an impact on the reputation of his immediate superior.

If he could calm them down and control the incident to the minimum, that would be the best. He never thought that those people were like turtles eating weights---they were determined and just refused to disperse.

At this time, the rumbling sound of horse hooves came from far away. The second lieutenant looked back and saw the familiar figure in the smoke and dust. He was startled and then happy. He no longer cared about the people in front of him, and trotted to the camp gate and ordered loudly: "Move the barricades away, everyone, stand at attention, salute!"

In a blink of an eye, four horses arrived from two hundred meters away, two horses in front and two horses behind.

Tang Dao jumped off his horse first, and then returned the salute to the officers and soldiers of the Four-line Regiment who saluted him. Then he threw the reins to the soldiers who came to greet him, glanced ahead, and strode into the camp gate.

"Here comes the commander!" The second lieutenant roared.

The officers and soldiers of the original 39th Independent Brigade who were still shouting slogans were stunned, and their voices became much quieter, and many of their raised hands were put down.

Cai Yongguan and Lao Suanpan arrived last. Although it was not the first time for the two unlucky children to ride horses, they were pure infantrymen, and they could not gallop at high speed like Tang Dao and Shangguan Yun. The two basically hugged the horse's neck to avoid falling off.

Fortunately, it was only a few miles, so the two did not make a fool of themselves.

'I must seize a Japanese horse in the future to practice horsemanship, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. ' Cai Yongguan knew shame and then courage, and swore secretly in his heart.

Lao Suanpan had a bitter face. He had been following Tang Dao for a long time, so how could he not know what Tang Tuanzu meant? He told him to gamble less and practice more life-saving skills, otherwise he might really die next time.

Although Tang Dao occasionally talked about the great principles of patriotism to inspire everyone, these ideas of teaching everyone to save their lives were immersed in daily life.

Just like he beat up the guys in the reconnaissance company by himself last time, he just told them that you are very strong, but there are many people in the world who are stronger than you. Keep training hard, otherwise you will die in the hands of the enemy and on the battlefield.

It is said that after that time, under the leadership of the deputy company commander Heizi, the intensity of the combat training of the reconnaissance company increased by at least 30%, making the elite soldiers want to cry.

Tang Dao stood in front of the hundreds of people who were making trouble, standing upright, with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were majestic without anger, until the voices of shouting slogans became completely silent.

"I am Tang Dao, the current leader of the Four-Line Regiment. Didn't you want to talk to me? Here I am. A few representatives, tell me what's going on with you!" Tang Dao waited for Shangguan Yun and the others to stand behind him before he asked.

The crowd on the opposite side was silent for a while, and no one spoke.

After waiting for half a minute, seeing that no one dared to speak, Tang Dao's eyes were filled with disdain: "I originally thought that the 39th Independent Brigade of the 29th Army was a powerful brigade, and joining my Four-Line Regiment would strengthen my regiment's strength. I was very happy in my heart, but I never thought that you were a group of cowards. You shouted that you wanted to talk to me, but I came here, but you didn't even dare to fart. What kind of a shitty powerful brigade are you? It's not much worse than a ball."

This sentence made the officers and soldiers on the opposite side angry.

This was obviously a little different from what they imagined.

They originally thought that with so many people gathered together, no matter who replaced them, they would be as patient and appeased as the second lieutenant officer.

After all, they were a special forces regiment. If more than 2,000 people formed a group, the only way would be for the Four-Line Regiment to carry out armed suppression. However, they did not die at the hands of the Japanese, but at the hands of their own people. If this news got out, it would be absolutely terrible, and everyone would have to consider the consequences.

As a result, the tough leader they had heard of after arriving in the war zone did come, but he insulted them to the core as soon as he opened his mouth. What the hell is this word "Jinfu"? It was insulting to the bone!

Ps: Tomorrow is Labor Day, my parents asked Fengyue to take them around. As a son, I am busy with work on weekdays and rarely have time to accompany them. I feel really guilty, so I decided to take a day off tomorrow for the working people to fulfill my responsibility as a son and spend time with my parents and family. I hope everyone understands.

I also took a day off for the new science fiction book "I Can Enshrine Everything". Updating two books every day really made Fengyue tired to death. I hope book friends will continue to support Fengyue! I wish you all a happy May Day!
