The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

The temporary base of the 74st Regiment of the 301th Army was not in Bengbu City, but in a sparsely populated town on the outskirts of the city.

Bengbu is extremely cold this winter, and the icy cold cuts the face like a knife. Even wearing a thick cotton military uniform, no one wants to wander outside in such weather.

Those soldiers who successfully broke through from Nanjing to Bengbu alive were not restrained by an officer, and had no combat missions, so they lived an extraordinarily decadent life, sleeping, playing chess, and gambling.

In a solid brick house, the windows have been blocked by broken cotton wadding, a large pot of charcoal fire is burning, and the house is warm. More than a dozen soldiers with bare arms are around the Eight Immortals table, shouting and gambling money. .

Although the bloody battlefield in Nanjing had just passed, these soldiers who escaped from death seemed to force themselves to lose their memory. No one wanted to mention this incident again. It was time to have fun, as if it had never happened.

For these veterans who have rolled over from the battlefield, they are able to survive until now thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and they will not be so lucky next time. There is no time to mourn and remember, and Tude is a timely enjoyment.

The captain and company commander Wang Meng's luck was particularly bad today. All the valuables he took out from the dead bodies were exchanged for silver dollars in Bengbu city.

"Brother Wang, continue." Seeing the captain and company commander Wang Meng pause for a moment, the brothers who were so happy to win hurriedly urged.

Wang Meng touched his empty pockets, pushed with both hands, and stood up: "Play first, I'm lucky today, so I won't play."

"Come on, let's continue." Those brothers were used to gambling, and they didn't stop when they saw Wang Meng not playing.

Wang Meng walked to the door and leaned against the door frame, took out the crumpled cigarette case, shook a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit the match and took a deep breath, the smoke came out of his nostrils, he felt much more comfortable in his heart .

Although they didn't want to mention it, the bloody battle in Nanjing still made them unforgettable. Wang Meng looked at the pure and lofty sky and sat down along the threshold.

Their 301st Regiment was disabled in Nanjing. The head of the regiment feared the battle and was withdrawn before the battle. The deputy head of the regiment, Ji Hongru, led them to charge. They were shot with bullet holes all over their bodies. They didn't die just like that. Now lying in the hospital to enjoy it.

He was one of the six chief and deputy company commanders of the three battalions. Wang Meng couldn't help taking a puff of cigarette when he thought of this. He had never fought such a cruel battle. Fill the trenches.

When Wang Meng was sitting on the threshold, smoking and sighing, a major with a square face came in from the door.

"Hey, Battalion Commander Lu, what brought you here?" Wang Meng saw the first battalion commander Lu Xing, stood up with a smile and handed him a cigarette.

Now all the officers of the 301st Regiment are gone, and the only battalion commander left, Lu Xing, is temporarily in charge of the work.

Major Battalion Commander Lu Xing took the cigarette and lit it: "Let your brothers clean up, the deputy commander will be here soon."

Wang Meng put down his cigarette and looked at Lu Xing full of doubts: "Battle Commander Lu, that's not right. Isn't our deputy head Ji still lying in the hospital? Where is the deputy head?"

Commander Lu of the first battalion took a puff of cigarettes, exhaled smoke rings and said, "Newly transferred, the acting deputy commander will concurrently serve as the commander of your third battalion."

Hearing this, Wang Meng was immediately upset. His brothers were dead and wounded, and he had no objection to promoting new officers from among their brothers who had fought bloody battles.

But suddenly a deputy regimental commander came over by parachute, and he also served as a battalion commander by the way, what's going on.

"Could it be the young master of that family again? Then I won't take care of you." Wang Meng said strangely.

First Battalion Commander Lu Xing replied: "This time it's not the young masters who forced their way in. I heard that they also broke out from Nanjing and won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. They fought no less than us."

Captain Wang Meng didn't believe it: "Captain Lu, don't fool me, I can't rub sand in my eyes."

"When did I ever fool you? Tell your brothers to behave. If you bump into his hand, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Just when company commander Wang Meng was doubtful, the roar of military vehicles suddenly came to mind on the road outside.

"Here we come, let's go to the door to greet him."

The temporary head of the 301 regiment, major battalion commander Lu Xing extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and led the company commander Wang Meng towards the door.

Yang Ling's new officials took office, so naturally they wouldn't wear the rags they wore when they broke out from Nanjing. At this moment, more than 200 of their brothers were neatly dressed in brand-new gray cotton military uniforms, wearing German-style steel helmets, and drove into the town in military vehicles.

Behind them was a long line of military vehicles pulling weapons and ammunition. The lineup was mighty and majestic. The people in the town also stopped to watch and talked a lot. There was such a lineup of mighty troops.

Although the 301st Regiment was stationed in the town, they still wore tattered military uniforms, with a look of decadence and frustration on their faces. All their weapons and equipment were left on the other side of the Nanjing River. Compared with Yang Ling and his team that came to fight, it was a world of difference.

The summer uniforms of the central army are different from those of the provincial army, but the winter clothes are all gray cotton uniforms. Although they look bloated and bulky and not as beautiful as later generations, they at least keep warm, which is a great thing these days.

The military vehicle stopped at the gate of the 301st Regiment's station. Yang Ling was also wearing a cotton military uniform and a brand-new badge armband. When the armed belt was tied on, he immediately had an extraordinary aura. He simply pushed open the door from the co-pilot's seat and got out of the car.

"Get out of the car! Assemble!" Yang Ling's voice echoed in the cold wind.

Lu Xing, the commander of the first battalion, and Wang Meng, the company commander of the third battalion, had already heard of him before seeing him, so they hurried to the door.

Liu Yidao and the others have always marched on foot, and before the fresh energy of the ride had passed, they began to get motion sickness. They entered the town amidst the bumps, and many of the brothers turned pale.

After hearing Yang Ling's order, they jumped out of the car one after another, and began to gather together under the yelling of the company platoon leader.

The more than 200 brothers were wearing uniform equipment, and they were veterans who survived the bloody battlefield. At this moment, they stood straight there, and the momentum came out.

The onlookers all pointed their fingers, guessing where this mighty team came from, and those young wives and girls hiding in the crowd also looked at them shyly, their hearts pounding wildly.

Lu Xing, the commander of the first battalion, and Wang Meng, the only surviving company commander of the third battalion, stood at the door and looked at the neat and orderly team at the door, with a hint of murderous aura. It's really not ordinary people.

"Major Commander Lu Xing of the 301st Battalion of the [-]st Regiment has met Deputy Commander Yang!"

"Wang Meng, captain and company commander of the 301rd Battalion and [-]st Company of the [-]st Regiment, has met Deputy Commander Yang."

Both Lu Xing and Wang Meng stood in front of Yang Ling and saluted, and Yang Ling returned the salute with a smile.

"I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the situation, so please ask Battalion Commander Lu and Company Commander Wang to help out." Yang Ling reached out and shook hands with them one by one, showing enough affinity.

Lu Xing replied with a smile: "The humble officer respectfully obeys the military orders of Deputy Commander Yang."

Text Chapter 334 Shared Wealth and Wealth

After the two sides shook hands and exchanged polite greetings, Major Battalion Commander Lu Xing led Yang Ling and the others to a brick-built yard and arranged to stay there.

"Deputy Head Yang, this yard has just been vacated. If you are not satisfied with living here, I will ask someone to change it."

Although the courtyard arranged by Lu Xing was spacious and bright with two entrances and two exits, he was still uneasy, worried that Yang Ling would not be satisfied.

After all, he is the new deputy head. If he doesn't take good care of him, he will have nothing to reason with if he wears shoes for himself.

"Captain Lu, I'm not that particular. Compared to sleeping among the dead on the battlefield, I don't know how many times better here. I'll just live here, but my brothers have to ask you to help arrange it." residence."

Although Yang Ling's words were casual, Lu Xing's affection for Yang Ling increased a bit.

Yang Ling's military demeanor in every way he raised his hands and feet made him closer to Lu Xing and the others. What they respected was the officer who had been on the battlefield.

"Deputy Head Yang, don't worry, I've made arrangements."

Although Lu Xing is the commander of the 301st Battalion, since the commander was dismissed in Nanjing, Ji Hongru, the deputy commander in charge of the command, was seriously injured and lay in the hospital. As dead as he was, he was so disabled that he temporarily took care of the big mess of the [-]st Regiment.

Now that the new deputy head has arrived, although the order said that he was only acting as the deputy head, Lu Xing still did not dare to neglect and arranged everything in an orderly manner, which made Yang Ling very satisfied.

"Deputy Head Yang, you guys clean up first, I'll go prepare lunch for you first." After Lu Xing arranged for Yang Ling and the others to stay, he was about to say goodbye and leave.

Yang Ling hurriedly called Lu Xing, the battalion commander of the major, and said, "You don't need to prepare deliberately, I will eat whatever the brothers eat."

"Then how can I do it? You are the deputy commander..." Lu Xing was in a dilemma. The company platoon leaders of the 74th Army all had their own problems. How could a deputy commander like Yang Ling eat with the big soldiers? Woolen cloth.
