blood feud

Lan Caiqin adjusted the deployment of troops on the coastline, which is equivalent to withdrawing her fists to accumulate strength, which is in line with Bai Shujie's plan to use this time to improve the main division of the front line and expand the artillery regiment.

If the enemy and the enemy are always at war with each other as they are at present, the troops will have no room to maneuver, and even if an artillery regiment is added, it will not be able to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

A bow and arrow drawn too full will break sooner or later.One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs.The ancients had already "passed" thousands of years ago!

Both the enemy and the enemy seem to be exhausted and have no desire to continue to wage a war, so the surrounding area of ​​Rehe is in a strange state of balance again, let’s not mention it for the time being.

It is said that after a night of chaotic fighting in Zhangwu County, all the facilities belonging to the little devil were turned into ruins.Above the ruins are layers of corpses, which is shocking.

However, Chen Jie's troops marched out on the second night and disappeared without a trace under the cover of darkness.Of course, to achieve this, it would definitely not be possible to rely solely on Chen Jie's own strength.

It was also a telegram from Bai Shujie, ordering the cavalry battalion of Guan Xingguo's headquarters to send two companies to go out to Tongliao and Tieling for a "tour". As a result, the enemies of Tongliao, Fengtian, Tieling, and Siping panicked.When all the dust settled, Chen Jie's subordinates were nowhere to be found.

Naturally, Chen Jie's troops did not disappear, but took advantage of the opportunity of Guan Xingguo's two cavalry companies bluffing, and rushed to the foot of the "Caiyun Villa" that Lan Caiqin led the female soldier company to establish that night.

Almost without stopping, Chen Jie organized the three companies of the original task force to carry out night raids from the cliff behind the mountain.Killing a team of 47 little devils without alarming anyone was the first revenge against the Tashan massacre.

The large army then went up the mountain for a short rest, and Chen Jie was going to complete an important task here, that is, the review work before entering the Donggou secret camp.

Because the core secrets of the task force will be involved next, if the team is not pure enough, if there is a slight sign of trouble, they will defect to the enemy, and the task force will basically be finished.

Chen Jie originally meant to organize these prisoners of war into a "recruit company" and put them in other places for training and understanding.But Bai Shujie sent a telegram the day before yesterday, asking Chen Jie to integrate the troops in the South Manchuria area and form an independent regiment to persist in the long-term struggle.

The so-called Nanman troops are two seeds planted by Bai Shujie the year before last: one is the "Zhuang Xingguo Beggar Anti-Japanese Team" hidden in the secret camp of Xionghai Ridge. to 447 people.

The other one is the "guerrilla" of Tan Zhongping and Huang Suzhen in the southwestern area of ​​Lianshan Pass. Early investigation found 17 people.

Chen Jie felt that Tan Zhongping's guerrillas did not have the scale to reorganize, so he would not consider it this time.Those who need to be screened are 447 people from Zhuang Xingguo.Therefore, the ancient tomb camp is not a place to stay for a long time, and must return to the Donggou secret camp as soon as possible to reorganize the team.Since the boss wants to form an independent group, it means that there must be big moves in the future.

After all, 57 people were sacrificed in this battle in Zhangwu, and 21 people who were lightly or seriously wounded returned to the Sanxiandong base.At the same time, 167 people and 637 war horses were added, and naturally a large number of strategic materials need to be sorted out.As for the 26 cars and mountain cannons that were seized, they were all handed over to Guan Xingguo to take them back.

The original special battalion had 517 people. This time, 24 people were sacrificed, and 8 people were lightly or severely wounded. A total of 32 people were reduced, leaving 485 people.Later, the new independent battalion consisted of 491 people. After the first battle in Zhangwu, there are now 445 people left.The two battalions had a total of 930 people, plus the 167 rescued "prisoners of war" who followed, the total number was 1097.

Those who need to be reviewed are 445 people from the new independent battalion and 167 prisoners of war who were rescued.Because those secret camps are all heavily involved, once they are leaked out, the consequences will be very serious.

Especially after the infiltrating incidents of Luanping and Chengde spies, Chen Jie had to treat the "organization review" with caution.

The first step was to call the deputy company commander and above of the Weng Shiming Independent Battalion for a separate meeting, emphasizing the next work procedures, explaining the importance of internal security reviews, and dispelling the ideological concerns of new members.

The second step is to emphasize the cruelty to the new members. For those new members who are not mentally prepared and do not regard themselves as dead, mobilize everyone to leave the team.

The third step is to create a file for each person's origin, recording all the experiences from the "September [-]th Incident" to the present. At least two people are required to provide circumstantial evidence.

Bai Shujie never believed that a coward could be turned into a predator through "meticulous thought work".Therefore, the set of "farewell measures" he invented was to eliminate complicated members of the army as soon as possible.

When other troops recruit new fighters, they always emphasize how honorable the future behavior is and how bright the future is.

But Bai Shujie has always been "talking big and special": how many people die every day, how horrible the scene of the dead is, and the dead bodies may not be collected when they die in battle!In addition, two slogans for recruiting troops were put forward:

The first sentence: "Being a soldier is to die. If you are not afraid of death, come in! Once you come in, don't even think about getting out alive!"

The second sentence: "Being a soldier with me, you will get nothing! No money! No officials! No women! You can get whatever you want! Come in if you want to do it, and get out if you don't want to do it!"

With these two slogans, every time the Rehe Front Army recruited new recruits, they would use black letters on a white background to make billboards erected in the most eye-catching positions on the square.All those who sign up to join the army must first memorize these two sentences, and then register at the conscription office.

Therefore, there is a common saying in Rehe: "Register at Bai Shujie's conscription office, it is the same as going to Lord Yan's. You must not have any other ideas!"

This person, especially young people, may have a rebellious mentality.

Luanping County recruits troops every spring and autumn, and the Military Management Office of the Northwest Army also recruits troops there.However, the good seedlings who were favored by the officers on both sides all ran to recite Bai Shujie's slogan, and then registered with Lord Yan, so Rehe was able to complete the conscription task ahead of schedule every year!

This time for farewell, Chen Jie also made two such signboards and stood them on the square, and then officially started the first part of farewell: everyone recited the "Quotations of the Commander-in-Chief"!

Not to mention, after three days of work, a total of 'people left automatically!Among them, 167 of the 23 new prisoners of war left, which was basically expected by everyone.

However, Weng Shiming's independent battalion cavalry company also left 4 people, which made Weng Shiming and several company commanders and deputy company commanders look very ugly!

The reason for this is very simple, because these four people have personally experienced the battlefield of blood and fire, and understand that "anti-Japanese" is not just with words, and they will die in battle at any time!

One moment you were still joking, the next moment you may turn into a corpse, this is the cruel reality!When attacking the bunker at the railway station, 19 people were sacrificed in three charges, and these 4 people were scared out of their wits!

On the evening of the fourth day, Chen Jie gathered everyone together and said: "Brothers who chose to stay, you are doing well! Now, on behalf of the Jehol Front Army, I formally welcome you to join this heroic army! In the future The glory will surely belong to you, because you are truly worthy of the title of Chinese!"

"For those who choose to leave, no one will blame you. After all, you only have one life, and not everyone can take your own life seriously. But I hope you will take care of yourself. If one day I see you working for tigers, Rehe You must have memorized the eight-army regulation and seven-kill orders of the Front Army!"

That night, those who chose to leave were quarantined because the next course of action was not what these people should have known.When they woke up the next day, everyone had two oceans in front of them.As for the guns and ammunition, they are gone, and so are the large troops.

When they came to the Donggou Secret Camp, Chen Jie sent Li Bozhou to the Xionghailing Secret Camp in the south to meet with Zhuang Xingguo, announcing that the "Pingdingshan Revenge Team" was formally incorporated into the Rehe Front Army's establishment and immediately accepted the reorganization.Considering Zhuang Xingguo's inconvenient legs and feet, he will be arranged to return to Chengde to accept a new job.

After screening, Zhuang Xingguo's 447 people were selected as a complete company of 230 people.The other 217 were too old to be partisans, but unable to handle complex battles.Including Xianyu Tongwu and Wan Yiwen were not selected because they were both over 35 years old.

In the end, Li Bozhou decided to form a reinforced platoon and equip them all with horses, and then arrange a combat platoon to escort them into Fuxin and send Zhang Xiang's first division back to Chengde.Bai Shujie has already said that these people are the guerrilla tactical instructors of the supplementary brigade.

In particular, Zhuang Xingguo was born as a scholar. If his legs were not disabled, he would be a very good chief of staff of the division.

Sure enough, Zhuang Xingguo did not enter Chengde in the end, but was left in the First Division by Zhang Xiang, and then sent a telegram to Bai Shujie, and was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the First Division!This is all something for later, so I won’t mention it.

After all the people gathered in the Donggou secret camp, Chen Jie knew the total number: 1300 people, plus his own words, it was 1301 people.

In fact, after calculating this number, Li Bozhou asked for 230 people from Zhuang Xingguo. The rest are actually the backbone force. Returning to Chengde can be of great use, and the sacrifice here is not worth it!

After some calculations, Chen Jie found Weng Shiming, Zhang Minghan, Gao Jingxiang, and naturally the three company commanders of the original task force, Li Bozhou, Zheng Zhikuan, and Ma Chongde, for final discussions.

"If you are an old man in the Jehol Front Army, you will know that in our team, there is no distinction between high and low positions, only the division of labor. Because we have no officials or civilians here. Everyone is treated equally and belongs to the Civilian armed forces, at least for now.”

"So, the next step to form an independent group is to consider everyone's strengths and the needs of future battles. The positions of these people will definitely change, at least there will be changes in titles. I hope you don't have any ideas , thus affecting future unity.”

"We now have 1300 people. According to the establishment of the Jehol Front Army, there are less than two battalions and cannot be formed into a regiment. The commander-in-chief gave us the establishment of a regiment for the convenience of our future expansion of troops. Next, let me announce the composition of our independent regiment."

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