Chapter 415 Going to Changsha (4)

This kind of canned food may be delicious to people who have not had enough to eat all year round, but to Li Chong who has no worries about food and clothing, it is not food.

After the two looked up and saw that neither the brigade nor the head of the reserve group moved their chopsticks, they clearly understood that they had been tricked.

The brigade commander laughed, opened a bottle of wine and poured it into everyone's glasses, then picked up an unknown mixture and said with a smile, "Hahaha, eat it, the canned food that the little devil eats is the stuff."

Putting it into his mouth without watching how he chewed it, he swallowed it, and then took a sip of soju.

Many grassroots officers and soldiers thought that the canned beef eaten by the Japanese devils was delicious. In fact, the expressions on the faces of the people already showed that the taste was not good. Of course, the canned beef eaten by the Japanese devils was very pure at first, and they were all real pieces of meat.

Turning the can in his hand, Jing Jiamo complained, "Traveler, the Japanese cans are getting more and more water-filled."

Deputy brigade commander Xu Zhaojian asked with a smile, "Maybe the two of you found something in this can?"

Looking at the two former battalion commanders who now each hold a regiment, Xu Zhaojian, the deputy brigade commander, appreciates it very much. Factions are inevitable, and a lot of his voice in the brigade headquarters comes from these two regiments who are now each in charge of a regiment. long.But it's also interesting to say that the two regiment leaders I brought out both graduated from Whampoa.

Li Chongmin took a sip of shochu, washed the taste in his mouth and said, "The little devil's supplies are lonely!"

Jing Jiamo also said, "During the Battle of Songhu and Nanjing, the canned food I got from the devils was still pure meat, and now it has become this kind of stuff. It has only been two years. It seems that the little devils are fighting hard." It’s too long, and the supplies can’t keep up.”

The answers of the two were recognized by the crowd.

The brigade commander put down the canned food in his hand and said proudly, "So, in the next big battle, we and the devil, who is afraid of whom? The devil's battle line is long, and the food is not as good as ours!"

After resting for three hours, the whole brigade continued to march to Tongcheng, [-] kilometers away.

When marching to Tongcheng County, the closer to the destination, the more people with their families on both sides of the road. The faces of these low-level people who migrated without knowing where to go were all blank.

When the war is approaching, dragging your family and running away from home is really not as good as a wild dog!
The more you walk in the direction of Tongcheng, the more mountains are layered on top of each other. There are countless mountains, large and small, in the entire county of Tongcheng.

This is why Xue Boling came forward to ask Yang Sen to mobilize his subordinate No. 20 Seventh Army to station in Tongcheng. Occupying a good location and defending here can prevent the devils from invading from the south of Jiangxi to Changsha.

The [-]th Brigade finally arrived outside Tongcheng County when the scorching sun overhead turned into the setting sun, and then the moonlight shone down on the earth.

This county seat in many mountains is dilapidated than imagined, and the exodus of the population makes this county seat exude a desolate atmosphere.

No matter how you feel about Tongcheng County, for the 350th Brigade, arriving at the foot of the county means that it took three days and three nights. The whole brigade started from around Nanchang, traveled countless mountains and mountains day and night, and walked the straight line on the map on foot. There are [-] kilometers of mountain roads in the distance!Arrive at your destination exhausted!
At this time, the [-]th Division and the [-]th Division under the [-]th Army, which received the transfer order at the same time, had already arrived here along with their military headquarters. The [-]th Army was originally stationed in the Liuyang River area. Fan Tiaoling Tongcheng instead left Hunan and entered Jiangxi.

And these two divisions are the main combat divisions of the [-]th Army. They traveled day and night and arrived one step ahead of time without stopping. Now the two divisions are stationed in several mountains on the east side of Tongcheng County, and the military headquarters is temporarily stationed. In the county, at the same time, other teams of various subordinates continued to come over one after another.

As for their commanders at the divisional level, after receiving the transfer order, they went directly to Changsha City by way, while the commanders and fighters at the first level of the regiment and brigade moved here with their troops, and prepared to leave for the group army headquarters.

Under the moonlight, the brigade commander sent a telegram to the division headquarters that he had arrived, and got a reply: the whole division will assemble tomorrow morning.

After the main commanders and fighters of the [-]th brigade finished greeting some colleagues from the next-door team, they were exhausted and hurriedly found a place to sleep.The reason why it is the team next door is also because the [-]th Army is not a faction of the Sichuan Army at all. Their soldiers are mainly composed of Hunan soldiers, and they are from the Sanxiang native troops. The colors of the uniforms of the two armies are different, but now they belong to the same group army.

The next morning, the regiments and brigades under the [-]rd Division and [-]th Division of the [-]th Army arrived as scheduled.

Comparing the main combat divisions of the two armies with each other, the gap is obvious.

First of all, in the [-]th Army, there are many sloppy establishments, such as the Volunteer Corps, the Independent Brigade, and the temporary formation of the Tenth Independent Brigade. At first glance, they are recruited from the local area or have not been put together for a long time.In contrast, the team numbers of the [-]st, [-]rd and [-]rd divisions and the [-]st, [-]rd and [-]th divisions are neat and tidy, without any details.

Secondly, judging from the firepower of the [-]th Army units that have arrived here so far, there are no artillery-free units at the corps and division levels.And the two divisions of the [-]th Army can barely be regarded as having an artillery battalion. Although the artillery used by the artillery battalion is the Wan Guo brand, it can still be regarded as a special artillery unit. When the time comes, the whole army will be deployed among the mountains It is quite possible to set up an artillery regiment position.

Although the weapons configuration of these two divisions of the [-]th Army is not as good as that of the [-]th Army, they can still be considered as the main combat division. One of the regiments under the jurisdiction of the two divisions can be picked up at random, and it can also fire light and heavy machine guns. There are four guns and two heavy machine guns, two [-]-type mortars, and grenades. One kind of battalion-level commanders and fighters have all learned in the Nanyue cadre training class for a while.

This was before the war started. After a trip to Changsha, the regiments would be able to get back a batch of guns and ammunition for the next battle according to the practice before the war.

Among them, the firepower configuration of Li Chong's [-]rd Regiment is quite remarkable. There are almost [-] big covers in one water, and there are not even a few shots made in Hanyang. After the team in Lingnei, suddenly realized.

At present, the four main combat divisions of the two armies gathered together, and the entire desolate Tongcheng County due to the emigration of the population became lively again.

After some resettlement, the heads of the regiments and their top officers gathered under the county seat, then boarded the cars of the brigades and divisions, and headed for Changsha City to collect ashes. If you are late, you will be whipped by Commander Yang of the Group Army.

While the top leader was leaving first in the car, each regiment as a unit and brigade as a group, got on their horses and followed them with whips. These people will receive combat supplies from Changsha City and escort them back.

On the side of Li Chongtuan, He Maoping, the security platoon leader of the regiment headquarters, and Qiao Zining, the company commander directly under the regiment, led ten people to drive the donkey and mule cart. Go to Changsha city.
