Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 420: It’s pretty good
Liu Changqing brought Zhang Yungang to Yu Hua.

"Lao Yu, this is Zhang Yungang, a unit under Xu Yuanquan's 26th Group Army. They also received orders to attack the airport."

Zhang Yungang nodded to Yu Hua, "Hello, sir!"

"Captain Zhang, how many troops do you have in your army?"

"Sir, our regiment is a reinforced regiment of the 26th Group Army. It has 5000 people. Among them, there is a mortar company and six 82mm mortars."

"Most of the rifles used by the soldiers in the whole regiment are made in Hanyang, and there are many new soldiers among them!"

"As for the light and heavy machine guns, our regiment is still relatively small, not as good as the Sichuan Army's independent brigade!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yungang looked at Yu Hua, "Sir, the soldiers in our regiment will all obey the Sichuan Army's command without hesitation. Please don't dislike our regiment, sir."

Hearing this, Yu Hua waved his hand: "No, no... We are all brothers fighting against Japanese invaders. How can I dislike your regiment, which has 5000 troops?"

"Besides, once the war really starts and the Japanese army reinforces me, I will also need additional troops. Your regiment will serve as a reserve for the time being."

"Captain Zhang, what do you think!?"

Zhang Yungang stood up with a bang and saluted Yu Hua: "Sir, you can arrange it. I, Zhang Yungang, will definitely not hesitate. I will fight the Japanese tonight. Otherwise, I will be a son of a bitch!"

Yu Hua patted Zhang Yungang on the shoulder: "We are all friendly forces. Tonight, our Sichuan Army will lead your group to fight the Japanese. Don't be afraid!"

"The little devil also has two shoulders and one head. If the bullet goes down, there will still be a hole."

After speaking, Yu Hua looked at Liu Changqing: "Old Liu, I have brought you good news."

"Good news?" Liu Changqing widened his eyes: "What good news? Could it be that Xixi's sister has agreed to be my wife."

"You kid, besides thinking about a woman as your wife, can't you think of anything else in your head?" Yu Hua complained.

"Old Yu, you have to speak with your conscience." Liu Changqing suddenly became excited: "The last time your boy returned to Sichuan Province, two commanders, Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua, acted as matchmakers and got a wife."

"We were both singles at the beginning, but you are lucky now that you have a wife. When you get under the quilt in the middle of winter, the fragrance will hit your nostrils and it will be warm!"

"What about me? I'm still alone now. The quilt is cold in winter, and I'm all alone. You kid, you're just a full man and don't know when you're hungry. You can't stand and talk without back pain!"

Hearing this, Yu Hua could only smile awkwardly: "Okay... okay..."

"You kid, stop complaining here. The worst I can do is let Ning Xin do more ideological work on Tan Yu and try to get your kid married this year."

Seeing what Yu Hua said, Liu Changqing immediately came over and hooked up with Yu Hua: "Good brother, you have to ask your wife to hurry up. Next time I return to Sichuan, I want to enter the bridal chamber."

"Okay, okay... I'll urge Ning Xin, let her add fuel to your fire, try to do Tong Tan Yu's ideological work, and let you be a beautiful girl!"

"Now that we've finished talking about this, let me get down to business!"

"What's going on?" Liu Changqing responded lazily, "Hurry up and tell me."

"Ahem..." Yu Huaqing cleared his throat: "In view of the fact that Liu Changqing fought bravely in the Xuzhou area, annihilated countless enemies, and made the little Japs flee, creating favorable conditions for the Taierzhuang victory."

"After research and decision by the Sichuan-Kang Appeasement Office, Liu Changqing is appointed as the commander of the independent brigade!"

In an instant!Liu Changqing's eyes widened: "Me? Brigadier?!"

"Yeah!" Yu Hua nodded: "Brigade Commander Liu, your adverb has been canceled. Is this a good thing?"

Liu Changqing nodded: "Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a good thing. I have reached the rank of brigade commander now."

"Lao Yu, although I am the brigade commander, you should still arrange the battle plan. I can rest assured that you will do the work. Let me do it. I have a big head."

"This time when we hit the airport, we must show off the majesty of the Independent Brigade. God will kill God if he blocks it, and Buddha will kill Buddha if he blocks Buddha. Even if Jesus comes, I will kill him."

Zhang Yungang on the side was also infected all of a sudden, and he was also shouting: God will kill God if he stands in the way, kill Buddha if he stands in the way of Buddha, and kill Jesus when he comes!
"Brigadier Liu, our regiment must cooperate well with the Sichuan army. The little Japs we beat will make them howl and cry for their fathers and mothers!"

Yu Hua looked at Zhang Yungang: "Captain Zhang, in order to familiarize your regiment with the Sichuan Army's combat methods as soon as possible, I am going to transfer a battalion of brothers from the independent brigade to conduct a pre-war training for your regiment."

"Let the grassroots officers of your regiment understand our Sichuan Army's combat ideas as soon as possible!"

"No problem!" Zhang Yungang patted his chest: "Sir Yu, don't worry, just come. If anyone in our group kills the chain, I will give him a damn!"

Subsequently, under Yu Hua's arrangement, veterans from a battalion in the independent brigade began to join Zhang Yungang's regiment to teach the officers of the 26th Group Army some combat experience.

At first, some officers in Zhang Yungang's regiment scorned this. However, after Zhang Yungang taught a few troublemakers a lesson, coupled with the unique training method of Sichuan Army veterans, many officers in Zhang Yungang's regiment also opened their eyes.

Everyone was completely convinced. The Sichuan Army was really powerful, especially some of their unique combat ideas, which made many officers of the 26th Group Army shine. It turned out that there were so many tricks for fighting.

at this time!
In the county where Yang Sen was located, he received an urgent call from Chu Ming.

The 26th Group Army retreated, and the Japanese army broke through the defense line outside Anqing at once. The deployment of the Sichuan Army's 27th Group Army on the front line in Anqing had already allowed the Japanese Sixth Division and Botian Detachment to break through a lot.

Especially now that half of Anqing City has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. Chu Ming has no reserve team in his hands. Even the grooms and cooks in the regiment are now carrying their guns and going to the battlefield. If the reinforcements don't come, This city of Anqing will definitely fall into the hands of the Japanese army in two days.

After reading Chu Ming's message, Yang Sen rubbed his head: "Adjutant!"

"Where is Liu Changqing Brigade now? Why hasn't it arrived in Anqing yet?"

Yang Sen's adjutant stepped forward: "Commander-in-Chief, I received a message from the Independent Brigade earlier that Liu Changqing and his troops were stationed in Yangqing County, which is only fifty kilometers away from Anqing. Logically speaking, they should have arrived in Anqing City long ago."

Hearing this, Yang Sen frowned slightly: "What did Liu Changqing do to you! Such an important position in Anqing cannot be lost. Once it is lost, it will be a bit difficult for us to get it back."

Yang Sen's partner Xia Jiong said: "Old Yang, don't worry, this Liu Changqing is also in our Sichuan Army. He hasn't arrived in Anqing yet, so he must have encountered something."

"Adjutant Yu is also in the Independent Brigade. Our Sichuan Army will definitely not ignore death now. Adjutant Yu is strategizing. You must have confidence."

Chief of Staff Xian Guangjun also nodded: "That's right... that's right... Lao Yang, you are probably too impatient. Adjutant Yu must know the importance of Anqing City." Liu Xihan stepped forward: "How about we give it to Xu Yuanquan sent a message, asking the 26th Army to attack the Japanese troops outside Anqing City to support the Chu Ming Regiment!"

Yang Sen's eyes shone: "Okay!"

"The 26th Group Army collapsed at the first touch, causing loopholes in our defense line. Xu Yuanquan also has a certain responsibility. This old boy must also contribute."

Immediately, Yang Sen asked his adjutant to draft a message and send it to Xu Yuanquan. The wording was very strict, otherwise the Sichuan Army would report to the war zone that the 26th Group Army did not act.

After receiving Yang Sen's message, Xu Yuanquan immediately called back and said that he had organized troops to counterattack the airport outside Anqing and was coordinating the defense battle of Anqing.

Yang Sen was relieved to learn that the 26th Army had sent troops to the airport. As long as the battle started in the direction of the airport, the Japanese army would definitely send troops to help, which would also reduce the pressure on the Chu Ming Regiment.

"Good news!" At this time, Xia Jiong ran over quickly, "Lao Yang, Lao Xian, Lao Liu, good news!"

Seeing Xia Jiong say the good news, everyone looked at Xia Jiong: "What good news!"

"Could it be that Adjutant Yu and the others took action and won a beautiful victory?!"

The first thing everyone thought of was that Yu Hua and Liu Changqing led their troops to attack the Japanese troops outside Anqing City.

In response, Xia Jiong waved his hand: "No!"

Yang Sen curled his lips and said: "What kind of good news is that!"

"The newly formed First Army has replenished its troops!" Xia Jiong said directly without giving in.

"This is really good news. The newly formed First Army has been replenished, and our group army has also restored a lot of combat effectiveness!"

Yang Sen and others laughed happily. What the 27th Army lacks now is troops.

In Yixiantian Canyon, Yu Hua and Liu Changqing observed the soldiers of Zhang Yungang's regiment, and their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley.

This regiment has 5000 troops. Many of the new recruits have been trained for less than two months. Before going to the battlefield, each of them fired three shots, and then they were added to the army.

In the previous training, the recruits had never really practiced target shooting. They usually did assassination training, fortification construction, etc.

Seeing Liu Changqing comparing his three fingers, Yu Hua also knew what this boy was thinking about, three guns... He fired three guns for target practice before going to the battlefield. This damn soldier was trained well. The soldier's marksmanship , 50% of them can't even hit the Japanese within [-] meters.

Regarding the situation of Zhang Yungang's group, it can only be described as terrible!

Zhang Yungang on the side saw the changes in the expressions of Liu Changqing and Yu Hua, and he whispered: "Brigade Commander Liu, Commander Yu, there is nothing we can do about it."

"The Japanese army attacked fiercely. Many veterans of the 26th Group Army were killed in Songhu and Jinling. The remaining veteran troops, supplemented by new recruits, were able to barely put up the group army."

"This has also caused the combat effectiveness of our troops to decline too quickly. Many troops collapsed as soon as they came into contact with the Japanese Sixth Division and the Botian Detachment. They also had many new recruits. Facing the sea, land and air firepower of the little Japs, they collapsed all of a sudden. I have no confidence anymore.”

"Among other things, our group army also fought bloody battles with the Japanese army in Songhu and Jinling. We blocked Japanese charges many times and bought precious time for the transfer of our brothers' troops."

"If our group army still has 60.00% veterans, I can guarantee that this time Shiro Inaba and Juichi Namada lead their troops to attack our group army's defense line, they will never collapse so quickly."

Regarding Zhang Yungang's words, Yu Hua and Liu Changqing agreed that due to the previous battles, most of the veterans of the Republic of China army were killed, and the new recruits who came in had not experienced war and collapsed quickly.

The fact that the Sichuan Army can still maintain its combat effectiveness basically relies on the large number of security forces in Sichuan Province receiving rigorous training. Especially in the field of live ammunition shooting, the Sichuan Army surpasses many armies.

Because of the establishment of the Sichuan Province factory and the weapons production equipment assisted by Lao Maozi, the Yu Hua family imported some weapons production lines from abroad, and the Sichuan Army was able to be self-sufficient in bullets.

Thinking of Zhang Yungang's troops, Yu Hua really felt that the eight-year all-out war of resistance was really not easy. Many martyrs only trained for two or three months before being added to the troops. At that time, Yu Hua saw the interview video, and a veteran talked about He enlisted in the army.

The recruits were trained for three months. Before going to the battlefield, they were taken to the shooting range. Each recruit was given three bullets and fired live ammunition. On the battlefield, China and Japan were basically fighting hand-to-hand.

Even if you are not good at marksmanship, you will definitely be able to fight in hand-to-hand combat. The little Japs are going to kill you. If you want to survive, you have to beat the Japs to death.

"Captain Zhang!" Yu Hua looked at Zhang Yungang: "What is the true combat effectiveness of your regiment, or what is the specific situation like!"

"Sir Yu, I can only say this. At present, the soldiers in our regiment are able to follow orders and prohibitions. As for the construction of field fortifications, tactical movements, and marksmanship, etc., these are all weak points, and they are much worse than the veterans."

Hear it!

Yu Hua also felt that his head was big. This Yun Gang's troops were simply not as good as the new recruits that the Independent Brigade had just added.

Eighty percent of Zhang Yungang's troops can only be used to fight smooth battles. Once they encounter a tough battle, they will immediately retreat.

Yu Hua thought for a while, and the purpose of this army must be carefully considered, otherwise it will easily cause big troubles; Liu Changqing patted Yu Hua on the shoulder: "Old Yu!"

"You have to pay attention to this battle plan. This Yungang Regiment, these soldiers cannot be compared with our Sichuan Army soldiers. Stop making it difficult, make it simple, and take care of the soldiers of the 26th Group Army."

The combat effectiveness of Zhang Yungang's regiment was poor. Yu Hua thought that simple battles should be used to train this army so that the recruits would be familiar with battlefield conditions and adapt to the war faster.

"Captain Zhang!" Yu Hua came to Zhang Yungang: "Since your regiment has too many new recruits, I think so. I might as well instruct the soldiers from that battalion of your regiment to stay in your regiment temporarily."

"Let this group of veterans lead your regiment to fight the little devils, sharpen the combat effectiveness of the troops, and let the recruits experience the baptism of war as soon as possible."

"It's very good!" Zhang Yungang smiled happily: "It's very good, I have no objection."

Regarding his regiment, he is now very clear that the army lacks veterans with combat experience, although the soldiers of the Independent Brigade just gave training to the grassroots officers of Zhang Yungang's regiment.

However, many of these grassroots officers were promoted quickly and lacked rich combat experience. Even a new recruit entering the battlefield may be promoted to the position of company commander within a day or two.

Since Zhang Yungang agreed, Yu Hua began to make battle arrangements!
Yu Hua spent some time and prepared the battle plan. Just when he was about to execute it, the communications corps came to Yu Hua and sent a message. Yu Hua's face changed drastically.
