blood feud

Seeing that Liu Zizhen hadn't left yet, Dong Guoqiang had no choice but to introduce to Zou Baoyin: "Come on, let me introduce you. This one is my immediate boss, our brigade commander Liu!"

"Salute!" When Zou Baoyin heard that the other party was the brigade commander, he couldn't be sloppy in Dong Guoqiang's face. Besides, he came to borrow the way today, so he naturally respected him: "The Second Battalion of the Rao'an Independent Regiment of the Rehe Front Army Commander, Zou Baoyin has met the Commander!"

Liu Zizhen had just returned a military salute, and before he had time to speak, Dong Guoqiang hurriedly said, "Don't underestimate him as a battalion commander, he is just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger! Our brigade can't win even one of his battalions! If you don’t believe me, go out and have a look, a battalion has 800 soldiers, and all of them are cavalry!”

"The equipment of this battalion exceeds that of our brigade: 4 2 infantry guns, 75 8mm field guns, 36 heavy machine guns, 108 mortars, and 4000 light machine guns! Their regiment is said to have five combat battalions And a supplementary battalion, more than [-] people. It's as many as our division! I won't talk about equipment, shame on me!"

Liu Zizhen felt a little dizzy: "What? Are you telling the truth?"

Dong Guoqiang nodded: "That's still fake, don't you know if you go out and have a look?"

Liu Zizhen didn't believe in evil, so she really ran out to see it.

"Captain Dong, what are you talking about! We are all friendly troops. When you say that, it seems that I came here to show off!"

Zou Baoyin usually doesn't like to show off, but this time it was because he had seized a lot, and his battalion was regarded as "running away from home". Wei Chong didn't want others to say that he was stingy, so he strengthened the two field cannons he had just seized.There were originally only 6 Type [-] heavy machine guns, but this time a lot were seized, so each battalion added two more.

Since Wei Chong came to the North China Plain, he knew that fighting in the mountains was completely different.If there is no strong firepower as a backing, fighting on the plains will suffer too much.Now each battalion has eight heavy machine guns, just forming a heavy machine gun company.Once you collide with the little devil, you can deal with the little devil's machine gun squadron alone!

"Battalion Commander Zou, how is your battalion organized?" Liu Zizhen strode in from the outside, wiped his sweat and said, "I took a quick look, and you are indeed 746, and one of the little devil's cavalrymen." The brigade is the same. But your weapons and equipment are more than double that of the little devils!"

Since Zou Baoyin brought the team over, he was not prepared to hide it: "Report to the commander: The goal of our commander-in-chief is that one battalion can defeat a brigade of little devils, and two battalions can eat up a brigade. One regiment It should be able to block one of the little devil's regiments, and two regiments can completely wipe out this regiment!"

"As for my battalion, the specific organization is a heavy machine gun company, a light machine gun company and a cavalry company. In fact, it is not a big deal in our Jehol Front Army. My battalion is at the middle and lower level. Because we just came here , A lot of equipment has not kept up, for example, I don’t have the equipment for the air defense company.”

"Haha, I finally understand!" Liu Zizhen laughed and said, "No wonder you dare to compete with Tada Jun as a group. If you really want to start a war, Tada Jun's more than 5000 people may not be able to beat you! The so-called Wealthy and powerful, we are talking about your Jehol Front Army! We cannot be compared with you!"

"Sir, our commander-in-chief admires Commander Feng and Commander Zhao very much. So last time, he gave Commander Zhao a battalion of equipment to make friends." Zou Baoyin watched Liu Zizhen speak, but did not notice Dong Guoqiang next to him winking: "This time Our commander-in-chief sent a telegram immediately when we met Captain Dong and the others. So, as long as the commander concentrates on using heavy weapons, wouldn’t there be a battalion like mine now?”

"Slow down! Slow down!" Liu Zizhen has been in the army for 20 years, and soon heard the problem: "Commander Zou, I, Liu, have always admired the character of Commander-in-Chief Bai, so we'll talk about it later. Dong Guoqiang, are you guilty?"

As soon as Dong Guoqiang heard Zou Baoyin say everything, he knew he was in trouble: "Traveler, don't listen to him. Really, I never lied to you!"

As soon as Zou Baoyin heard Dong Guoqiang's voice, he knew that Dong Guoqiang must have set up an ambush. It turned out that not all troops followed the military order of "all the captures should be attributed to"!

Liu Zizhen said with a cold face: "Okay, tell me, what should you equip to build a combat battalion according to Battalion Commander Zou's standard?"

"Everyone knows this, it's just light and heavy machine guns, mortars and so on." Dong Guoqiang suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, we don't have war horses!"

"Don't talk about war horses for me, let's talk about weapons and equipment first!" Liu Zizhen insisted: "If you don't tell me about Zi Chou Yinmao today, hehe, don't do it as a regiment leader!"

"Actually, they really didn't give that much at the beginning." Dong Guoqiang knew he couldn't escape: "Isn't this the second regiment going up again later? They gave away the two fortresses in Langfang. Maybe they were too busy I forgot, or maybe I forgot, and as a result, the equipment of one squadron and the equipment of two forts were not needed."

"When I came back, I thought it was a pity to leave it there, so I picked up the junk and brought it back. It was just a few heavy machine guns, mortars, nothing good! No, the best heavy machine guns and You took all the mortars, and I have nothing left."

"Commander Zou, please tell me." Liu Zizhen knew what kind of stuff her subordinates were, and she would never want to listen to the truth: "Your Ministry gave us such a big favor, and I, Liu, can't forget it."

"Actually, what Captain Dong said is not bad. They are really light and heavy machine guns and mortars, and there are no field guns." Zou Baoyin hoped that neither side would be offended: "As for horse rifles and 2 big covers, there are actually not many. Horse guns are also There are only 124 pieces, and there are only [-] pieces in the Sanba Dagai. There are not many grenadiers, and there is only one for each squad, which is nothing."

Finally, the truth came to light: Dong Guoqiang brought back two 6-type infantry guns, 48 36-type heavy machine guns, 32 ​​crooked light machine guns, 300 grenades, [-] mortars, plus horse rifles, bullets, and shells. .What Wei Chong meant at the time was that the two regiments were divided equally.According to their battalion of more than [-] people, it happens to be the equipment of two battalions.

"Dong Guoqiang, Dong Guoqiang! You really know how to eat alone!" Liu Zizhen saw a lot of equipment dug out from the warehouse, and while she was happy, she continued to criticize: "This is the equipment for the two battalions that they sent according to our establishment. You stayed all at once. Let me ask you, so much equipment is here, where did you get so many people?"

Dong Guoqiang laughed dryly: "I'm thinking about it, isn't there always loss in war? So it's not bad as a stock, hehe!"

"Okay, gentlemen don't take away people's love!" Liu Zizhen originally had only two regiments, so naturally he couldn't take sides: "I don't want any of the part that belongs to you, and I want to take the other half! Battalion Commander Zou is here." , that is a distinguished guest, you have entertained me!"

Next, Zou Baoyin told Dong Guoqiang the real purpose of his visit. For the consequences of his nonsense, Zou Baoyin gave his own compensation: leaving 6.5 rounds of 4mm machine gun bullets and 7.7 rounds of 6mm heavy machine gun bullets. 300 rounds of mortar shells.

"Don't worry, Head Dong!" Zou Baoyin specifically conveyed Bai Shujie's words before leaving: "As long as we can keep this passage unimpeded, we can supply the bullets and shells you need in the future, Head Dong. Let's put it this way, how much do you need?" Bullets and cannonballs, I will find a way to send you as many as you want!"

"As for the 75mm field gun you want, that's not a problem. The key is that the main task I take on this time is to establish this channel. In the future, with this channel, I promise to send you two 75mm field guns, Plus enough shells!"

Bai Shujie's order had a huge effect two years later, this is something for later, so let's skip it for now.

It is said that Dong Guoqiang, a big man in the Northwest, is also a bold and loyal figure.A few days ago, I hit it off with Wei Chong, and I just met Zou Baoyin.But after dealing with him this time, he realized that Zou Baoyin did not reveal his hole cards on purpose, and it was also the first time he had heard the military order that "all credit should be attributed to the capture".

"Brother, let me tell you, the head of the regiment over there in Yanqing is a scholar named Xiao Yiheng. I usually don't bother to talk to him when he speaks sourly!" Dong Guoqiang personally sent Zou Baoyin to Yanqing, so he emphasized: "However, Xiao Yiheng still has two brushes in fighting, and he is not afraid of death. I have never read a book, so I can't pee in the same pot with him. You can follow our path from now on, and I guarantee that nothing will happen. However, after Langfang we There is no other way."

Zou Baoyin nodded: "That's enough! On the contrary, we are not afraid of Langfang. If the little devil really dares to stretch out his hand, we can't wait for it! The reason why we bother Captain Dong is because we don't want to conflict with the friendly army. You Northwest Army has no own Our arsenal cannot produce heavy weapons, as our commander-in-chief has said. Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity in the future, I will find a way to bring some of them to you."

With Dong Guoqiang personally leading the way, and Liu Zizhen having already transferred the equipment, Xiao Yiheng received Zou Baoyin as his own brother when he saw Zou Baoyin.

All the way without talking, three days later, Zou Baoyin came to his own territory: Chicheng County!Shao Jianzhang had already received Bai Shujie's order, so he personally greeted the two important guests here.

After settling down that night, Shao Jianzhang took out a letter and handed it to Zou Baoyin: "From now on, you are the deputy head of the third regiment of the Chicheng Independent Division and the acting head of the head. The 1000 people who will supplement you will be in the school behind Inside, the weapons and equipment are all in the warehouse behind your headquarters, tomorrow you can figure it out yourself."

"I'm the head of the regiment?" Zou Baoyin was a little surprised: "I've only been the battalion commander for a few days. I'm afraid it's hard to get the head of the regiment."

Shao Jianzhang spread his hands: "That can't be helped, the commander-in-chief has already handed over the defense of Chicheng County to you, and there is no regiment that you can't use at all! Besides, Wei Chong's side will soon expand, and you are also a regiment over there. long."

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
