Chapter 62 Troop Situation
In the gendarmerie office, the white and clean Xu Cai was sitting on his seat, looking at the letter written by Xie Jinyuan brought back by Gendarmerie A and Gendarme B.The letter reads:
Caihou senior, more than ten years have passed since we left Whampoa, and the senior's voice, appearance and appearance still echo in the student's heart.Hearing that the senior has become thinner due to the busy work of the party and the state, the younger student feels very sad, so he prepared a small gift, and delivered it by the senior's subordinates, hoping that the senior will take good care of his body and serve the party and the country.Yours sincerely, junior Jin Yuan.

"According to what you just said, that is to say, the two heads of the [-]th Regiment were shot dead not long after taking the prisoner Yangguai out. Then, they asked you to bring back the body of Yangguai , Is that right?" Xu Cai said to the two gendarmes after putting down the letter paper, while touching the long strip inside through the envelope.

Military policeman A wanted to say something when he heard what Xu Cai said, but military policeman B was the first to say: "As you said, sir, after the sheep crutches are shot to death, let us bring them back."

"Well, let's close the case like this." Xu Cai glanced at Gendarmerie B and said.

"Go and inform the clerk again, and say that the criminal was abducted and confessed to the crime. He was shot dead by Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan, deputy head of the May [-]th Regiment. Set the record straight!"

"Understood, sir. I'll go and inform the clerk right away." Gendarme B said, and then asked: "Sir, the commander of the horse regiment rewarded us..."

"It's a reward for you, just take it, and be strict with your mouth when you go out, I don't want to hear any gossip. Got it!!!" Xu Cai said.

"Understood, then we will retreat." Gendarme B said, and then retreated with Gendarmerie A after saluting.

"It seems that there is a sensible person beside my junior." Xu Cai took out the gold bar in the envelope.Looking at this gold bar, Xu Cai said a little dumbfounded: "Hey, I was really underestimated."

Afterwards, Xu Cai didn't know what he thought of, and said softly with murderous eyes: "Hmph, what a Kong family!!!"

···········································
At this time, at the garrison of the May [-]th Regiment, Ma Chao was preparing to change into a general's uniform without a military rank.Next to him is a knife that has changed into a military uniform.

After the brigade commander Zhu Chi read out the order before, Dao Zi followed him to the brigade headquarters to receive Ma Chao's military uniform.Before that, the knife had already changed into the uniform of a Kuomintang soldier in advance.

Later, after Ma Chao changed his clothes, he and Xie Jinyuan rushed to the brigade headquarters to meet his colleagues.

After Ma Chao changed his clothes, Xie Jinyuan had been waiting outside the door for a while.

At this time, the sky has already darkened, and the sky full of stars indicates that tonight will be a good weather.Ma Chao and Xie Jinyuan, together with the guard Daozi and Duanwu, a total of four people were escorted by a squad, and marched towards the brigade headquarters of the [-]nd Brigade.

On the way, Xie Jinyuan briefly introduced the personnel of the [-]nd Brigade to Ma Chao as he walked.

"The 80nd Brigade belongs to the No.[-] Eighth Division of the National Revolutionary Army. The overall force configuration is composed of troops directly under the division headquarters, two infantry brigades and two supplementary infantry regiments."

"The [-]nd Brigade is one of those two brigades. The other is the [-]th Brigade. The brigade commander, Major General Huang Meixing, died in Shanghai in August."

"Commander of the [-]nd Brigade, you have already seen it, so I don't need to say more. When our brigade is full, there are two infantry regiments, which are composed of the [-]rd Regiment and our [-]th Regiment."

"Wu Qiujian, the head of the [-]rd Regiment, with the rank of colonel, is from Huangmei County, HUB Province, and graduated from the third phase of Huangpu. He led the [-]rd Regiment to launch an attack on the little devil's Marine Corps headquarters before, but it's a pity that the little devil's The construction of the headquarters is too strong, which leads to failure. So, don't provoke him too much when you see him later."

"In addition, the troops directly under our regiment headquarters have a mortar company equipped with six German 83mm mortars. A machine gun company should be equipped with six [-]mm machine guns, and another The establishment of a communication company and a special agent company."

"In addition, there are three infantry battalions under it. Each infantry battalion has a machine gun battery equipped with six Maxim heavy machine guns and two 82mm artillery guns."

"Each company has three rows and three shifts. Each squad consists of one light machine gun and eleven rifles. Each squad has 12 people."

"It's a pity that all the heavy equipment was basically lost in this battle. We are the only people left in the whole regiment." When he said this, Xie Jinyuan was very sad.

"So, our regiment is composed of three infantry battalions in a four-company system, plus four regiments directly under the regiment headquarters. There are about 600 people in total. That's right." Ma Chao's eyes lit up asked.

"If you don't count the logistics, yes, it is like this." Xie Jinyuan probably remembered those brothers who had died, so he was not very emotional.

"Good guy, the capital was really strong back then." Ma Chao sighed.

Ma Chao was really surprised by the strong capital that the [-]th regiment had before, and it completely refreshed Ma Chao's cognition by equipping such equipment as mortars to battalion-level units.

You must know that in the army at this time, the most common method is to concentrate mortars and use them as artillery.Although some trickery, but it is true.

In this era of lack of heavy firepower, if there is a mortar in a battalion-level unit, it is enough to be enviable.

In addition, there are 600 people in the entire regiment used for combat. This is still without counting the logistics personnel. If it is counted, there must be at least 2000 people.

Well, for Ma Chao, this is definitely a step up to the sky.

Although at this time the May [-]th Regiment had been crippled and there was only a shelf left, but as long as the organization was in place, there would always be a chance to replenish it.

Moreover, the previous measures to gather the remnants on the battlefield have also brought back a lot of blood for his regiment.Although these stragglers who gathered back were good and bad, they all survived on the battlefield. As long as there is such a peaceful time, these people are enough to develop the [-]th Regiment again.

"Um, by the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. Commander." Xie Jinyuan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said to Ma Chao.

"Huh? What's the matter? Tell me." Ma Chao said casually, still immersed in the joy of his promotion and salary increase.

"That is, the stragglers that we gathered before, except for a small part, have been taken away by the brigade." Xie Jinyuan said very embarrassedly.

"what!!!"
