Rise From Eight Hundred

So, Tang Dao, who had failed in his attempt to poach Qian Dazhu, decided.

This time, he would just be the boss behind the scenes.

As for poaching, except for those he was sure of, the rest would be left to professionals.

Those ‘professionals’ were of course the two major battalion commanders under Tang Dao and the infantry platoon leaders under them.

It’s not that they are good at speaking, but, to use Tang Dao’s words at the ‘poaching’ meeting: This is called aiming at the right target. I am not familiar with the 67th Army, but you old men in the 644th Regiment are familiar with them.

Major-level officers are responsible for poaching 150 people each, including five lieutenants, 30 people each for captains and lieutenants, 10 people each for second lieutenants, and no tasks for sergeants, but those who can provide a list of excellent soldiers and successfully introduce them will be commended once.

What is this? This is called poaching by all staff, which is somewhat similar to the enrollment of some universities with difficulty in enrollment in the future, from principals to teachers, all staff will go out to carry out enrollment publicity.

However, the school officers and lieutenants under Tang Dao are much tougher than the bitter teachers. They not only want strong soldiers, but also have the military orders issued by two commanders. Moreover, the two commanders personally came to the farewell ceremony of the guard battalion and gave a speech that "Your guard battalion is the sharpest sword in Songjiang".

This is the confidence of the guard battalion. It is not only the name of the fist force, but also the support of the two military commanders.

Which regiment commander dares to play tricks and not let people go?

In this wartime, those who dare to resist orders will not be lenient by military law, unlike in normal times, when there are superiors to help you plead for mercy and fool you.

Moreover, Tang Dao's battalion commander Tang was originally the famous commander of the Four-Line Battalion. The Four-Line Battalion may have been absent for a long time to perform a secret mission, but Tang Dao led the guard battalion to show the prestige of the commander of the Four-Line Battalion in the battle of Cangcheng.

None of the regiment commanders who witnessed Cangcheng turning into a sea of ​​fire in the artillery fire dared to think that they could lead their troops to hold on for more than ten hours. What Tan Tai Mingyue said about Tang Dao asking the headquarters to order the entire army's artillery to "fire at me" at the last moment was even more shocking.

Of course, the officers sent out by Tang Dao mainly went to the other seven infantry regiments of the 67th Army to ask for people, that is, they were embarrassed to dig into the corners of the 644th Regiment. They gave their guard company and the first battalion to you Tang Dao. If they asked for more, they would be shameless, right?

The so-called targeted attack is naturally to ask for people with a target.

The 67th Army has 8 infantry regiments here, and everyone is not very familiar with each other at ordinary times, but there are "traitors". They are all in the same infantry army. Who doesn't have relatives and friends? Thirty to forty percent of the soldiers and officers with a little fame can't escape the "claws" of the guard battalion officers who are red-eyed and asking for people.

Let alone the 67th Army, in fact, the poor troops of the 26th Division also did not escape the "poisonous hand" of Tang Dao.

For example, Zhao Daqiang, the guard squad leader of Lieutenant General Liu Yuqing, was named by Tang Dao to serve as the second lieutenant platoon leader of the guard company, which was also a promotion. Even if Liu Yuqing was not happy, he had to reluctantly give up.

Comrade Lao Wang now has no guard squad, only two guards, and Tang Dao also took one away to serve as the deputy platoon leader and squad leader of the infantry company.

Commander Guo

I will send two second lieutenants here myself, so don't be so shameless to ask for them. You are shameless, how can I be like you?

Another Sichuan Army Colonel Regiment Commander saw it and said, "Well, no matter how painful it is, I have to give two, right?"

In other words, the soldiers and lieutenants who were transferred from the 67th Army were mostly soldiers and lieutenants. On the 43rd Army side, there were few soldiers, so Tang Dao naturally targeted veterans who had fought hundreds of battles, and basically all of them were promoted.

Perhaps Qian Dazhu was the most special.

As a new infantry platoon leader with the shortest military service and who can't even recognize his own name, promoted by Tang Dao himself, Qian Dazhu, who came from the Sichuan Army, knew nothing about the 67th Army. If he rashly went to ask for soldiers from the colonel commander who was many levels higher than him, he might not be so angry that he would kick you out, but the possibility that he would give you a few cooks, ammunition handlers or baggage soldiers was definitely higher than 99%.

If Qian Dazhu went to ask for people from his old commander, Comrade Lao Wang, the poor colonel commander only had two infantry companies under his command, and two-thirds of one infantry company had already gone to Cangcheng. Qian Dazhu really couldn't bring himself to ask for people from him!

Besides, didn't you see that Battalion Commander Tang relied on his uncle-nephew relationship to ask for a guard, but Lao Wang pointed at his nose and scolded him?

Qian Dazhu could only find another way.

He set his sights on the Songjiang Security Corps.

In the past, the Songjiang Security Corps would naturally not be in the eyes of the regular army.

Although the Sichuan Army was poor, whoever could get a Hanyang rifle was the coolest guy in an infantry company. When many soldiers entered the Songhu battlefield, they were still using old barrels made more than 20 years ago, and the rifling was almost worn out.

But the Sichuan Army was a regular army, and the military and political departments paid their salaries. Their names were recorded. Even if they died, someone would help you send a letter home to let your family know where you died in battle. They could also find a direction to call you a few times when they burned paper and lit incense, so that they would not become a lonely ghost.

This is the advantage of the regular army, and it is also the psychological advantage of the regular army over the local militia soldiers such as the security group.

But this time, the performance of the Songjiang Security Group was far beyond everyone's expectations.

The soldiers of the security battalion who fought side by side with them witnessed the Japanese army entering the block in large numbers and being driven out of the block in a panic. The soldiers of the security group also protected the right wing of the Cangcheng position for more than twelve hours.

The record of burning and blowing up a Type 89 tank and two Type 94 armored vehicles is brilliant enough.

What does this mean? It means that as long as they are pushed to the edge, they can still be good soldiers.

What is more tempting is that the equipment of the officers and soldiers of the Songjiang Security Corps is much better than that of the 43rd Army.

The Mauser pistols are all German 20-shot, the submachine guns are MP18, and the light machine guns are the shiny Czech 24-type. The military order of the headquarters clearly stated that the transferred personnel will bring their own equipment to the security regiment.

That means that as long as Qian Dazhu can find people, those equipment that made him drool with envy can also belong to him.

Qian Dazhu directly found the first battalion of the Security Corps, which was also repaired in Xicheng District. The battalion commander Zhuang Shisan received the regular army second lieutenant with a smile on his face. Even if he heard that Qian Dazhu was going to come to the Security Corps to ask for soldiers, he did not show his face like other infantry commanders, but politely asked Qian Dazhu to wait for a while and report to Commander Wang himself.

Then, after waiting for almost half an hour, Qian Dazhu found that he was really too new compared to these old foxes, especially in being shameless.

Zhuang Shisan, the rogue battalion commander, ran away directly, which was much worse than those 67th Corps and battalion commanders who at least maintained some superficial relationships.

No matter how powerful the military order is, if you can't find someone to receive the order, where can you go to seek justice?

Battalion Commander Tang only gave him one and a half hours, and if he couldn't find enough people, he would honestly be a small platoon leader of more than 20 people, with the organization of the battalion guard platoon and the communication platoon. To put it bluntly, he was responsible for running errands and delivering letters.

If the platoon leader and the old squad leader knew that their infantry platoon had finally become an errand runner, they would jump out of their graves and beat him, the only remaining sergeant!

After all, he was a soldier who had experienced two life-and-death battles, and Qian Dazhu was no longer the stupid rural youth who knew nothing two years ago.

With a turn of his eyes, he first walked into the ranks of the security guards who were lying in a mess to rest. For no other reason, he just wanted to get familiar with them. As for whether the soldiers were willing to come, that would be discussed later.

After all, for these militia soldiers, if they were not willing, it would be a very troublesome thing to come and make trouble for you.

Sure enough, the security guards who were extremely tired after fighting for most of the night were not very interested in this second lieutenant platoon leader who claimed to be the newly established Songjiang Command’s direct security battalion. If possible, lying on the ground and sleeping for a few hours would make people happier than giving them five dollars.

Nodding was considered a greeting, and most of them closed their eyes and pretended to sleep. Qian Dazhu, who walked into the room, was a little embarrassed.

"Platoon leader, look at these guys sitting in a messy manner. When they sleep, they put their guns far away. They don't look like soldiers at all. Let's go! Go to our old superior to ask for soldiers." Taozi, who came with Qian Dazhu, looked at the security guards lying in a mess, curled her lips and whispered to Qian Dazhu.

This is of course a disdain for the military appearance of the soldiers of the Security Corps, but more of it is an extremely straightforward provocation. The corporal is young, but he is definitely not a fool.

As long as someone is provoked, everyone can talk about it!

Provocation is naturally useful, even if there is no fool here, even if you know it, you can't swallow this breath.

"You look down on the soldiers of our Security Corps, and you think your security battalion is great? You don't know, our first battalion of the Security Corps killed two small tanks of the Japanese and killed two or three hundred Japanese." A soldier who was leaning against the wall and dozing with his eyes closed spoke lazily.

"Also, my platoon leader burned a small tank by himself, not to mention how many Japanese soldiers he killed in the neighborhood. He killed more than a dozen devils with one shot on the pagoda of Xilin Temple. I want to ask, who in your security battalion has such a record? If there is such a person, wouldn't you want to recruit him? I, Wu Xiaohu, followed him to do it."

The young corporal's face turned red when he was teased and shown off by the ruffian soldier who unbuttoned a few buttons of his military uniform to expose his chest.

Not only was he angry, but he had nothing to say.

The deeds of the second lieutenant "Crow" of the first battalion of the security regiment were specially broadcast by the command headquarters through the radio, and the ruffian soldier did not speak nonsense.

This is not a reason he cannot refute, but, in terms of the specific personal records, there is really no one in the Cangcheng defenders who is so awesome except the battalion commander Tang Dao.

A group of officers and soldiers of the security regiment who were either smoking or lying lazily cast mocking eyes at the corporal.

Without any impressive achievements, he dares to provoke others with words. When he is criticized, he can only blush and acquiesce.

Even so, he is still a regular army!
