The Republic of Heroes

"Tuanza, what should we do, we will listen to you more!"

"Yes, just listen to the group seat..."

More and more veterans gathered together, and even the recruits of the new recruits supplementary regiment crowded around the periphery curiously to watch the excitement.Among the recruits, there are also "well-informed" ones, who pointed to the officer who stood tall and said to his companions:

"Did you see that officer? It is said that it is Li Tuanzuo. With the strength of a battalion, he insisted on resisting the attack of a regiment of devils. He is the most capable general under Master Li's command!"

"Ah! It would be great if we could be assigned to his regiment. Which military academy did Li Tuanzuo graduate from?"

A recruit replied with a disdainful smile: "This classmate, look at his vulgarity, which military academy could he have graduated from? A local leopard! Listen to his name, Li Mancang, Li Mancang? !"

After all, it was a burst of wanton laughter.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, he felt a burning pain on his face, instinctively raised his hand to cover his face, and roared angrily:

"Who the hell doesn't have eyes, dare to hit me..."

When he turned his head, Lao Tzu's words were swallowed violently before he could utter them. He saw a colonel officer holding a horsewhip with a pair of pupils shooting a cold light that made him tremble all over.

"How can the anti-Japanese soldiers allow you to be defiled by picky scoundrels like you, dragged down and beaten with forty army sticks, and driven out of the barracks!"

The recruit's face turned gray immediately, and he begged for mercy:

"Sir, please forgive me..."

The colonel waved his hand impatiently, and the left and right soldiers stepped forward like wolves and tigers, pressed him down and dragged him away.

"Oh...why do you drive me away? I am a student soldier handpicked by the chairman, and my uncle is..."

Zhang Zhonglin's heart became more and more heavy after he dealt with the student soldier who spoke nonsense. Such a recruit entered the anti-Japanese team, not to mention fighting devils, and it was a blessing to God that his comrades were not killed.Immediately there was another sigh, it would be unreasonable for these high-ranking officials' children to completely obliterate his patriotism, at least he dared to abandon his rich life and resolutely join the army when the country was in crisis, it would be better than those silverfish hiding behind.But can throwing a pen and joining the army save the mutual contempt of the Chinese people?

He looked at the colonel who was still speaking impassionedly while standing on a high place.

"Li Mantun..."

He read it silently and remembered the name. He personally experienced the fighting power of the Japanese. It is not easy to be able to survive with more, but he is not a simple person who can win more with less.This Li Mantun reminded him of Yu Sanhe who had fought side by side since the beginning of Wusong Fortress. This man could hold Wusong Fortress with a regiment for several months, and he thought he might not be able to do this.

Can't help sighing again, the 57th Division really has talented people, but these heroes are not graduates of famous military academies in China, they don't even know a few words, all these things make him always cited How embarrassing are the soldiers who graduated from the proud Whampoa Military Academy!

A burst of shouting interrupted his thoughts, and he saw that the colonel commander Li Mantun had already got off the wooden box on the high ground, and was the first to rush to the gate of the camp with a gun, followed by the veterans in a mighty manner. behind him.

It seems that this is to ask for an explanation, Zhang Zhonglin turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him: "Let's go, go back!"

Li Mantun was very angry. He was temporarily assigned by the division commander to be responsible for the distribution of recruits. For several days in a row, the recruiting regiment that should have been assigned to them was robbed by the 88th division. He planned to calm down and let the opponent make up the charge first, and it would not be too late to deploy recruits when they replenished himself.

But the document was suddenly issued from above. Today's five recruit supplementary regiments are the last batch of recruits dispatched by Nanjing. After today, there will be no recruit recruits for the troops on the Songhu battlefield.

After receiving this document, Li Mandun was also in a hurry. The previous recruits were all snatched by the 88th Division. Now that the five regiments can't get any more, he can't explain to the division commander.But because of the face of the friendly army, he kept a low profile and sent a director of the new barracks to take charge of the contact work.

In fact, on the surface it is said to be a contact, but in fact it is to take soldiers to the station to snatch people.It's just that after all the calculations, I didn't expect that the other side actually dispatched a whole group of troops today, and surrounded the station with water. Even the company that was taken was disarmed by the other party, and they were all friendly troops at last. In the end, a single person was chased back in a desperate manner, and all the others were detained.

When did the 57th Division suffer such a big loss? Li Mantun was furious at that time. He immediately called several backbones of the regiment headquarters to hold an emergency meeting. Many people advocated reporting to the division headquarters first and letting the division commander handle it. , and the Central Army, if you act privately and ruin the overall situation, I will be sorry for General Wu.

Li Mantun didn't take it seriously, although he didn't know a lot of big characters, but after some weighing, he came to the conclusion that the teacher would definitely back down on this matter, but his reputation of being weak and deceitful was about to spread from now on , not to mention his own reputation, but also implicated the 57th Division.When he was in the countryside of Linzi, he even dared to beat up the young master of the landlord's family. How can he endure such a big loss this time?

So he tried his best to resist all the arguments and advocated not to report this to the commander in advance, and to avenge the revenge. As for the responsibility afterwards, he decided to bear all the responsibilities by himself. At worst, he would take off his military uniform and go back to his hometown to farm!

Only in this way did the impassioned scene just now happen. Those who followed Li Mandun out of the camp were basically his old subordinates. They knew that the recruits would be assigned to a temporary camp next to the station that night, so they went straight to the station.

When approaching the station, it was already dark. Li Mandun was worthy of being a hero who could fight against the devils with a battalion.Therefore, when approaching the station, instead of continuing along the road, we made a detour to the north, and then went straight down south.

The sentry posts on the north side of the recruit camp were really sparse, with only a wire stretched up.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the headquarters of the 57th Division suddenly became tense!Due to the end of the Songhu Campaign, the Military Commission ordered the reorganization of the Nanjing Garrison Command and the Songhu Garrison Command. The Beijing-Shanghai Command was naturally disbanded, and Wu Xiaoliang's position as the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Commander was also revoked.Wu Xiaoliang had no choice but to temporarily work in the headquarters of the 57th Division. These were originally planned. The Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command was originally established temporarily for the convenience of command, and it is normal to disband now.

It's just that the news reported just now made Wu Xiaoliang frowned. Is this a sign that Lao Jiang is going to do something?
