Rebirth of the National Marshal

Hu Lian was appointed as the head of the Central Military Academy delegation, leading 197 Central Military Academy graduates into the Security Brigade. Because they had been introduced by seniors from the previous period, the students of this period felt lucky to join the Security Brigade. The first reason was that the weapons here were advanced, and the second was that the treatment here was relatively high.

Mao Yuanshan wrote a letter to President Chiang to express his gratitude and flattery just right. President Chiang was very comfortable. Otherwise, such a huge army was out of his control. Even though he was his nephew, he still felt uncomfortable. As the leader of the party and the country, he needed to consider it even if he was his own son.

There were two batches of officer cadets, totaling nearly 300 people, who entered all levels of the security brigade, especially those roles such as battalion staff officers. Among them were also people from certain factions of the central government, but Mao Yuanshan didn't care about this. I don't care who your previous master was, as long as you are with me for one day, you have to understand that you have to serve me as long as I am here to fight the Japanese, and you have to serve me, and I will not treat you unfairly. As long as you don't become a traitor, I can turn a blind eye to other things, but if you hinder the war situation, then my bullets will also eat meat.

On March 3, the old rival of the Security Brigade, the 2th Division of the Japanese Army also left Tianjin to support the 4th Division. The North China Expeditionary Army was somewhat dissatisfied with the results achieved by the 109th Division. It had been two days, and they had not even penetrated a single railway line.

The Japanese Army's 6000th Division suffered a defeat when it encountered the Security Corps, but that doesn't mean they were a weak force. When they encountered the Shanxi Suiyuan Army's nd Brigade, they defeated the entire brigade of people in just half an hour.

If the 17th Division of the Central Army that came to support them had not run fast, it would have been eaten up by them.

Due to the disastrous defeat of the 17th Division of the Central Army, the first line of defense collapsed completely, and the Military and Political Department ordered all troops to retreat to the second line of defense 2km away and garrison on the spot.

"The war situation on the front line is deteriorating, and people from the central government are about to come out and make trouble again. It seems that they are going to abandon the capital again." Zhang Zizhong has several good friends in the central government. These good friends passed on some words through the grapevine.

"These people are all fence-sitters. It will be troublesome if our China's anti-Japanese cause is handed over to them. After killing a few Japanese, they will advocate a decisive battle with the Japanese to the end. Now that the war situation has become a little bit unstable, they want to give up the capital. I really don't know what's wrong with their brains. Are they all raised on pig food?" Mao Yuanshan was very clear about the faces of these people in the central government. He never gave them a good face.

"That being said, what should we do next? What if the Central Army really retreats? Can our Baoanli Brigade rely on ourselves to withstand several divisions of Japanese?" Zhang Zizhong also wanted to know what Mao Yuanshan's next plan was.

"Brother, we have an army of 10. Although more than 5 of them have not yet completed their training, we can definitely have our own foothold relying on our weapons and equipment. Let the Central Army retreat. No matter where our army retreats to, it is a force that can stand its ground. How about we retreat here?" Mao Yuanshan said, pointing to a place on the map.

Chahar.

In the second year of the Republic of China (1913), the Chahar Special District was established with the Koubei Dao of Zhili Province and Suiyuan Dutong, Chahar Tribe, and Xilin Gol League. In the 1928th year of the Republic of China (1947), it was changed to a province, with jurisdiction equivalent to Zhangkou City in Hebei Province, Yanqing County in Jingcheng City, most of Xilin Gol League in Neimengu Autonomous Region, and the eastern border of Wuchabu City. In the th year of the Republic of China (), the province's land area was square kilometers.

"You know what, you have a pretty good vision. Basically no one pays attention to this place. It's really cold and bitter there. If we go there, we can't support 10 troops in just one place." Zhang Zizhong once led the 38th Division to live in Chahar and served as the chairman of Chahar Province.

"We have nowhere else to go for the time being. If I follow the Central Army south, given the principal's personality, he will definitely dismember such a large army as ours. If it were any other warlord, we would be even more unwilling to obey and continue to stay in North China to fight the Japanese devils. At present, our strength is no match for the North China Garrison Army." Mao Yuanshan said that going to Chahar was also a helpless move.

General Zhang Zizhong certainly felt unsure about going to Chahar. Chahar was indeed a lawless area, located at the junction of three forces, with the Japanese to the east and the Russians to the north. The central government's jurisdiction over the area was indeed very weak.

It was different for Mao Yuanshan. With the exchange system in hand, everything was not a problem, except for this one thing.

On March 3, in front of the Baoan Brigade's position, one could often see the defeated troops of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in groups of three or four. They had been defeated and had no idea where to go, so they supported each other and retreated to the rear.

The soldiers of the security corps did not intercept them. After all, the battle situation at the front was not favorable. Even if they stopped these soldiers, it would be useless. Besides, they were regular troops and we were just a local militia. How could we intercept them? Even if our equipment was more advanced than theirs, they were of a higher rank than us in terms of righteousness.

Li Dongsheng is a new recruit who has been in the army for no more than 20 days. He just turned 18 this year. The soldiers in his class like to call him Dongzi. This kid used to hunt on the grassland with his grandfather, so he has very accurate shooting skills and sharp hearing.

Originally, he lived a good life with his grandfather, but who would have thought that the Japanese devils came to his hometown, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of atrocities. The old man was killed because he resisted and killed a Japanese soldier. He became a wanted criminal in his hometown and had no choice but to cross the border to North China.

Apart from hunting, he doesn't know anything else, so he has been living a life of hunger and starvation. But when he saw the security corps recruiting soldiers, he came here. His physical fitness is very good.

The most important thing is that he won first place in the company's firearms training.

He directly received a reward of 20 yuan, plus his own monthly salary of eight yuan, this kid now has almost 40 yuan in his hands.

After arriving in the capital, he lived with a shoe repairman. He had feelings for the master's daughter, but the master's wife looked down on him, thinking that he was a poor boy with nothing. Even if she wanted to recruit a son-in-law, she would not want someone like him.

Yesterday was my turn to take a leave, so I went there with five cans of beef. This kind of can of beef costs one dollar each outside, but in the army it costs two dollars each. Of course, each person can only buy ten per month.

When five cans of beef and 20 yuan were placed on the master's table, the look in the master's wife's eyes changed when she looked at herself.

The master had never had a son in his life and treated me like his own son. When he heard that I had joined the army, he immediately picked up a stick and chased me around the yard, insisting that I go home and would rather starve to death than join the army.

Later, after much persuasion from the neighbors, he let me go back. Although the master hit me twice with a stick, that was also a sign of love for me.

"Dongzi, I tell you to stop thinking about your junior sister. When you get your salary this month, I will give you my ten dollars. You can borrow some more and use the 30 dollars to propose to your junior sister." At this moment, Dongzi and his class were patrolling along the railway line.

A few days ago, there was no danger here, but these days we can see Japanese planes. They flew over twice in the morning, but were shot away by the company's anti-aircraft machine guns.

"Monitor, I didn't think about it." Dongzi was an honest child. His face turned red after being teased by the monitor, and people around him also started to make fun of him.

"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. There's nothing wrong with that. Look, you're such a grown man now. If you don't get married, what are you waiting for?" The squad leader scolded the others and sent them away.

Just when Dongzi was about to say something, he suddenly felt danger. It was the same feeling as when he followed his grandfather on the grassland and was attacked by a pack of wolves.

"Squad leader, there's a situation." Dongzi said and lay down on the spot. This kid did the basic movements very well. He found a place that slightly blocked his head and began to observe the front. When the dozen or so brothers in other classes saw Dongzi's appearance, they immediately found places to hide.

The safety of the two Czech light machine guns in the squad was immediately removed, and the two grenade launchers next to them were also ready, waiting for the squad leader's order to kill the bastards.

The squad leader looked up and saw, sure enough, a dozen Japanese cavalrymen appeared in the distance.

"Brothers, those are the Japanese cavalry coming. If we run back now, we might be killed by them. There are only a dozen of them, about the same number as us, and we don't even have heavy weapons. What do you think? We can't do anything to them?" The squad leader was originally from the Northeast Army, and the wildness of the Northeast man was revealed in him.

"Listen to the squad leader." The others also found their positions and opened the back shell of the grenade.

When the patrol discovered the Japanese devils, the Japanese cavalry also discovered the patrol.

The cavalry squad leader immediately drew his command sword and rushed forward with 12 Japanese cavalrymen.

These Japanese cavalrymen mistook the army in front of them for the Central Army and Shanxi-Suiyuan Army they had encountered a few days ago. A few days ago, their cavalry regiment directly destroyed half of the Central Army's division.

When the Central Army soldiers saw them, they immediately turned around and ran. How could you with your two legs outrun our cavalry? They didn't even waste bullets and just drew out their sabers and slashed at them.

This was the first time that Dongzi saw a Japanese soldier. Since he joined the army, the squad leader and deputy squad leader around him told them that the Japanese were also human beings. As long as they could practice their skills well on the training ground, killing the Japanese would be as easy as killing a chicken.

Dongzi had nothing to be afraid of. He took a deep breath and clenched the 98k sniper rifle in his hand.

"Dongzi, when the Japanese rush to 300 meters away, kill the one with the command knife first." Dongzi's shooting skills can be said to be the most accurate among the 20 people, and he also has a sniper rifle in his hand.

"Don't worry, squad leader." While speaking, Dongzi had already aimed at the target.

"Pay attention to the machine guns. As long as they come within 300 meters, shoot as hard as you can. Don't be afraid of wasting bullets." The two machine gunners also began to enter combat status. The squad leader was very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers in his squad.
