    Chapter 42: Abandoned Son (Please read the new book)

    Hearing Li Guoyao's words, Ma Desheng, Xu Hu and others felt a "knock" in their hearts, knowing that Li Guoyao wanted to completely incorporate them before executing the next stage of the battle plan.

    Although they had already had a premonition in their hearts, and Li Guoyao had made it clear to them that he was rescuing them in order to recruit them, when this moment really came, they still felt a little uneasy and a little bit resistant!

    It¡¯s no wonder that they belong to the 16th Division of the Hunan Army. Even if they were prisoners of war before, as long as they can return to the 16th Division, they will still not be disliked, because the 16th Division¡¯s commander, Zhang Jiliang,  Down to the ordinary soldiers, they all came from the land of Sanxiang. Who among the fellow villagers would despise the other!

    But once they are absorbed by the 67th Army, they will really become abandoned troops of the Hunan Army, and it will not be easy to go back.  Even if ordinary soldiers could go back, officers like them had no chance, so Xu Hu and others hesitated when the matter came.

    Seeing this situation, Li Guoyao frowned and said: "As I said again, if you don't want to be included, I won't force you, but from now on we will separate. You will take your Yangguan Road and I will cross my single-plank bridge.  , don¡¯t disturb each other!¡±

    Ma Desheng gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, I, Ma Desheng, am a man with eggs no matter what. I will never regret my promise to you. You helped me rescue my fellow villagers. My two hundred brothers and I voluntarily joined your army."  , whatever you want!"

    Li Guoyao nodded, turned to Xu Hu and others and asked, "What about you?"

    Xu Hu had some embarrassment on his face, but he said after just a few seconds: "We Hunanese are all upright men. Since Lao Ma has agreed, we also agree to follow you to fight the Japanese. But I have a condition. I hope  Captain Li can agree!"

    "explain!"

    "First, I hope that after joining your army, we will not be discriminated against or used as cannon fodder. We can receive the same treatment as the Northeast Army in terms of weapons and equipment, supply distribution, and combat operations!"

    "That's no problem. I can promise in front of all my brothers that as long as I, Li Guoyao, am alive for a day in the future, I will never joke with the life of any brother, and I will never discriminate against brothers outside the Northeast Army." Li Guoyao said loudly.  .

    "Okay! Then we all agree to join your department, and we hope that the commander will take good care of you!" Xu Hu said.

    "Welcome!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "Anyway, our total number of people is not large. We only have 1,300 people at full count. We are not even the size of a regiment, so we won't mess around. What I mean is that this reorganization will be based on  Two hundred men will be divided into one squadron, and the whole army will be divided into four infantry squadrons, followed by a machine gun squadron and an artillery squadron. Do you have any opinions?"

    "Sir, isn't the squadron a team of little devils? If we do this, will we be laughed at and imitate the little devils?" Ni Zhiliang said.

    "Yes, we just want to learn from the Little Japs, because there is a big gap between our organization and the Little Japs. For example, compared with their infantry squadron, our company is at the same level, but we only have 130  There are more than ten people, but a fully-staffed infantry squadron of the Little Japs has between 180 and 200 people. This gap is not generally large. In order to better kill the Japs, why not learn from their organization?  "Li Guoyao said.

    Ma Desheng also said: "Anyway, it is a temporary reorganization. I agree with the commander's opinion!"

    "I agree too!" Xu Hu and Wang Zhanhai said at the same time.

    Then everyone else agreed, and the reorganization plan was finalized!

    Because Li Guoyao had the highest military rank, and he single-handedly led the remnants of the 67th Army out of Songjiang City, he also single-handedly broke into the prisoner of war camp, rescued more than a thousand Hunan Army prisoners, and led them to annihilate the Japanese defenders of Jiaxing.  , so he undisputedly serves as the supreme commander of this force.

    After careful consideration, Li Guoyao appointed Xu Hu and Wang Zhanhai as deputy detachment captains, while Ma Desheng was appointed chief of staff.  After all, a force of about 1,400 people is considered an infantry regiment in terms of size, and it should have a chief of staff.

    Moreover, Xu Hu and Ma Desheng have the same military rank as him, major. In comparison, Wang Zhanhai's military rank is only a captain. However, in order to consider the emotions of the soldiers of the 67th Army and the 16th Division, the entire 4 regiments  Senior cadre Li Guoyao gave two to the 16th Division, and two to the 67th Army.

    ?The next step is the appointment of officers at the level of squadron leader. The captain and deputy captain of the 1st squadron are Zhang Tengjiao and Huang Shang respectively, and the 2nd squadron isBaojun and Zhang Hao, the third squadron are Lu Dashan and Wu Dajun, and the fourth squadron are Lu Wenlong and Xue Dengyu.  The machine gun squadron was commanded by Ni Zhiliang, while the artillery squadron was temporarily filled by Yang Le because there was no ready-made artillery commander.

    After the reorganization was completed, Li Guoyao gathered all the officers to discuss the next action.

    The former Japanese Army Jiaxing Garrison Headquarters has been cleaned up at this time, the bodies of all the little Japanese have been removed, and the lights have been turned on again. It has become the temporary headquarters of the rear detachment of the 67th Army.

    Because time was urgent, Li Guoyao did not let everyone go to the conference room inside, but gathered around the terrain sand table made by the little devil to discuss the battle.

    In front of the terrain sand table, Li Guoyao said immediately: "Everyone, from now on, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. We all gain and lose. So I won't talk nonsense. Next, I will tell you about the current situation.  The national anti-Japanese situation and what we are facing now!¡±

    "Since the July 7th Incident, the Japanese invaders have launched a crazy aggressive attack on our country, opening up the North China Battlefield and the Songhu Battlefield respectively. We have to admit that judging from the current situation, we are at an absolute disadvantage. The Japanese troops in North China are currently divided into four groups.  The first route launched an attack on the Chinese army. The first route was led by Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo. Four infantry brigades and two detachments belonging to the Chahar Dispatch Corps of the Kwantung Army totaled 50,000 people. They sent troops from Zhangjiakou along the west side of Pingsui Road.  Duan launched an offensive, aiming directly at Suiyuan and northern Shanxi."

    "The second route, Lieutenant General Hisao Nishio, led three divisions and one infantry brigade under the Second Army, totaling more than 90,000 people. They set out from Tianjin and attacked southward along the Jinpu Line. The frontline of the troops was directed towards  The hinterland of Shandong.¡±

    "Ltd by Lieutenant General Xiangyue Qingji, commander of the First Army of the Third Route, he commanded two divisions and three brigades under the First Army. They attacked from Peiping, crossed the Yongding River, and attacked along the Pinghan Road. The frontline of the troops was directed towards  Yan Xishan¡¯s Jin-Sui Army and Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province.¡±

    "As for the fourth route, it was led by Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, the commander of the Fifth Division, and attacked Xuanhuahuailai along Pingsui Road, all the way to the west, threatening the Shanxi flank and supporting Tojo Hideki's headquarters."

    "According to the strategic vision of Commander Juichi Terauchi of the North China Front, these four armies are mainly composed of the First Army of K¨­getsu Kiyoshi. While Nisio Hisao and Itagaki Seishiro move south and west, they should try their best to move closer to Shanxi to support the First Army at any time.  The battle against Yan Xishan's troops ended the war in North China."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "In Central China, the Japanese army has actually won the Battle of Songhu. The Central Army and hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous troops have evacuated from the Songhu area, leaving behind only a few small troops who were too late to evacuate.  The army, just like us."

    "Now the little devils are moving towards our capital Nanjing in three groups. The first group is the Shanghai Expeditionary Army led by Matsui Iwane. They go from Shanghai to Suzhou and attack Nanjing. The second group is the 10th Army led by Yanagawa Heisuke.  The army is the main force, and it attacks Huzhou from Jinshan Wei via Jiaxing, with the target still being Nanjing. The third route is led by the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, which goes up the Yangtze River and directs its sword towards Nanjing."

    "The goal of the little devils is very clear. Everything is to capture Nanjing City and force the Nationalist Government to surrender. But we people have actually become abandoned people. Let's not say whether our superiors know our existence. Even if they know, it is useless.  , it is impossible for anyone to come to rescue us, so whether we can escape from the battlefield alive depends on our own luck."
