The War of Resistance

"We really shouldn't have come here!" When Old Mao Wang sighed, it was already the end of September in the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937).

They were invited by Lu Cao, commander of the 691st Regiment of the 116th Division of the 53rd Army, to help him train soldiers.

But who would have thought that the July 7th Incident broke out before they had trained those soldiers for a long time, and the place where the 116th Division was stationed was Hebei.

Now there is news from the front that Beiping and Tianjin have been lost, and the Japanese army is heading south.

Just now Lu Cao had notified them that their 116th Division needed to go north to fight the Japanese army, and asked them whether to leave or stay.

You know, due to the reorganization of the Northeast Army, Shang Zhen's 7th Brigade has now become the 337th Brigade. The 337th Brigade belongs to the 51st Army, but the garrison area of ​​the 51st Army is in Jiangsu.

Doesn't this mean that Shang Zhen and the others who came to be instructors need to fight the Japanese army in advance?

Because of this, Wang Laomao complained to Shang Zhen.

At this time, Shang Zhen saw that he and these people were all looking at him, so he smiled and said: "Old Uncle Wang, the legs are on your body, you can go back to our trip now!"

Then he looked at his people and said, "I don't mean to keep the instructors here, you can leave with Old Uncle Wang if you want."

"What about you?" Old Mao Wang asked as soon as he heard Shang Zhen say that, rolling his eyes.

"It's good for me to stay here, I won't go back to our brigade!" Shang Zhen laughed.

"What you said is nonsense, can we leave if you stay?" Old Mao Wang said angrily.

"I'll do the hard work alone, how can I have the nerve to drag you brothers into the water with me?" Shang Zhen still smiled and said, "Look at how good our brigade is, and we haven't fought yet. Who knows what the little devils are doing?" It's time to hit Jiangsu."

"I don't believe it anymore, you kid can do business at a loss? Just tell me, what is your plan for staying here?" Old Mao Wang didn't believe Shang Zhen's statement at all, and he complained, but let him put Shang Zhen himself stayed in the 691 regiment, but he was resolutely unwilling.

"Actually, there is an advantage to staying here." Shang Zhen said in a low voice.

As soon as Shang Zhen lowered his voice, all the soldiers stretched their heads towards him.

Including Guan Tiedou later, they followed Shang Zhen for not a day or two. Everyone knew that even though Shang Zhen usually talked less, he was blind—he knew what he was eating dumplings!

"You said we are in the 691st regiment, right?"

"Of course it is!" Several people replied at the same time.

The pronunciation of "Qi" in Northeast dialect comes from Manchu, which means "guest".

They came to train soldiers at the invitation of Lu Cao, the head of the 691 regiment. Since they were invited, they were naturally guests, that is to say.

"Since we are together, then you say that Commander Lu can't arrange combat missions for us?" Shang Zhen said again.

"It seems to be the same reason." Wang Laomao agreed with this point.

"So, let's just stay here, he hasn't assigned tasks to us, and we don't have to defend our positions. If we want to fight devils, let's pick a small group of devils to fight, and we can run if we take advantage of it!

It's over, the 691 regiment is responsible for the logistics supply, we don't need to bring guns and ammunition, do you think it's good?

If we go back to our brigade, I think it will be a matter of time before our brigade fights the devils, so what if we are asked to defend the position again? "

It turned out that Shang Zhen had this idea!

"I said you kid is hiding your mind!" Elder Wang said with a smirk, and the others laughed too.

The matter was settled, and it seemed as if they had taken advantage of it for a while!

But actually? In fact, they are extremely quiet and want to move, and they really want to go to the battlefield to fight devils.

These people have personally experienced the Xi'an Incident, not to mention that the Chinese did not fight the Chinese, even the Northeast Army itself was in conflict.

Thinking about it this way, how could it be said that going to the battlefield to fight devils is more comfortable without being bound by the position?

Now that the matter was settled, Shang Zhen and the others also packed up and started to follow the 691 regiment, and they followed behind the Lu Cao regiment headquarters.

Anyway, Lu Cao is the commander of the regiment, and Shang Zhen is only the company commander. There is news from the front that Beiping and Tianjin have been lost. Maybe they will collide head-on with the Japanese army at any time. Lu Cao always wants to command the battle Yes, Shang Zhen will not move forward.

There was a team of nearly a thousand people in a regiment, and it took a long time to walk, but Shang Zhen was feeling emotional in his heart, but he didn't know how many people would be left after the battle with the Japanese army.

It was beyond Shang Zhen's expectation that Beiping and Tianjin were lost so quickly. You must know that it was the 29th Army that guarded Beiping and Tianjin.

He had fought side by side with members of the 29th Army, and he was particularly impressed by Wen Bing's broadsword of the 29th Army.

However, when I was at Xifengkou, the 29th Army had a good location, and the heavy artillery of the Japanese army caused limited casualties to the 29th Army in the mountains and ravines.

The 29th Army also gave full play to the advantages of melee and night combat, which made the Broadsword Team of the 29th Army famous in one fell swoop.

But in the Pingjin area, their own weapons are at a disadvantage and there is no danger to defend, so they must be lacking in strength to fight face to face with the Japanese army.

Just as Shang Zhen was thinking, he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him. When he turned his head, he saw several cavalrymen running over on their horses.

In his impression, Shang Zhen didn't remember that the 691st Regiment had cavalry, so these cavalry should be correspondents.

Soon the war horses ran close, and Shang Zhen realized that one of the cavalrymen was a woman!

Don't ask Shang Zhen how he figured it out, on that bumpy war horse, how can women ride horses and men ride horses the same?

But at this moment, seeing that the cavalry had caught up with the large army, their speed had already slowed down, and when the female soldier on the horse saw Shang Zhen and the others, she reined in the horse and slowed down the horse. And also looked at Shang Zhen and the others curiously.

After a while, the female soldier showed a suddenly realized expression and said, "Are you the instructors you invited?"

At the same time, Shang Zhen and the others also noticed that the female soldier was carrying a box cannon.

And the magazine is very long, but it is the same as the 20-gun box cannon Shang Zhen uses now.

So how could Shang Zhen and the others not be curious? For Chinese officers and soldiers who lack automatic firepower, the box cannon can be regarded as a generation of artifacts for fighting devils.

But that gun doesn't mean that anyone can hit it accurately. It's really strange for a woman to use a 20-ring box gun.

And the family is not very old, in their mid-twenties.

Seeing that Shang Zhen and the others didn't answer, the female soldier laughed heartily instead: "Why are a bunch of rough men from the Northeast still coy?"

But this time when the female soldier spoke, Shang Zhen and the others recognized it.

"Fellow town? I'm from Fengtian, where are you from?" Old Mao Wang asked with his mouth open.

"It's really a fellow. My family is from Tieling." The female soldier said casually.

But before Wang Laomao and the female soldier continued to talk about their fellowship, Lu Cao turned around and shouted, "Huai De, come quickly!"

"I'll talk to you guys later, I'll go and have a look!" said the female soldier, and ran forward as soon as she urged her horse.

At this time, a cavalry soldier following the female soldier saw Shang Zhen and the others' puzzled faces and explained loudly: "This is the wife of our Regimental Commander Lu!"

But this sentence was said by the female soldier in front.

"If Ma'am is not Ma'am, it's Lu Cao's daughter-in-law!" the female soldier said loudly.

Oh, this female soldier won the favor of Shang Zhen and all of them at that time. From this look, she is really the daughter-in-law of a Northeast person. She is bold enough, generous enough, and real enough!

"Your regiment commander is called Huaide, what do you mean?" Seeing that the cavalry behind him was also urging his horse, Old Mao Wang asked again.

"Our head's wife's name is Gao Huaide." The cavalry doctor explained, and then rode forward.

"Gao Huaide?" Old Mao Wang was taken aback for a moment, "Why does this name sound familiar? It looks like a man's!"

At this time, Chu Tian followed up: "It's the same name, the Eighth Prince in Yue Fei's biography is called Gao Huaide!"
