Chapter 961 Don’t Want to Return to the Team

Among the hills, a group of soldiers were running panting, as if there were Japanese troops chasing them behind.

"Let's rest after we cross the river in front." Shang Zhen said, breathing heavily.

So he got a response of "Yes, sir". The soldiers were not as panting as he was. Who told the soldiers to answer less?

And when the "crackling" sound of water finally fell silent, more than thirty soldiers were all lying behind a hill. Their clothes were dry, but their shoes were soaked.

"Damn it, you have to run when you lose, and you have to run when you win, what's the matter!" When the heavy breathing became steady, someone started to complain, and it was Li Dabai.

To say that Li Da understood that such a complaint was certainly justified. Seeing the Japanese army increasing troops from that road to the north, this place was already an enemy-occupied area, and it could also be regarded as the Japanese army's rear area.

Now that they had first eliminated an elite Japanese squad behind the Japanese army, and then ambushed the Japanese army in order to save a soldier, it would be strange that the Japanese army did not retaliate and search for them.

The enemy is so powerful, why don't they run away immediately after they take advantage?

It's just that if Li Da understands what he says and doesn't get reprimanded, then it's not Li Da understand.

"If I could fight such a victorious battle every day, I would be willing to run every day." It was Lu Yifei who criticized him.

Li Daxing was just about to say something when he saw Lao Qiuzi glance over and quickly closed his mouth.

It's different when a team has a backbone again. Now that they have decided to let Shang Zhen be their commander, they have to obey the commander's orders and abide by the rules of the army.

The veterans have discussed it privately.

Now that Shang Zhen is their commander, he can't be like Hao Xiazi before. He has to behave himself. As Shang Zhen said, Shang Zhen, the commander, doesn't like bullying people. He doesn't like veterans bullying recruits. He doesn't like it. If you follow the rules, then they have to do it!

At this time, Shang Zhen ignored Li Dabai at all, and instead listened to the soldier they rescued.

"My name is He Gui, and I am a communications soldier from the Second Battalion of our * Regiment guarding the outer positions of Liujia Lake." The soldier began to tell.

As soon as Na He Gui started to speak, everyone began to pay attention.

Shang Zhen and the others were actually in a state of stragglers after losing their position. Although they had only lost contact with the superiors for a few days, this was an ever-changing battlefield. Which of them didn't care about the general trend of the battlefield?

For example, where did the Japanese army attack, whether LY City was lost, what were the casualties of the Forty Army, etc.

Although He Gui is just a soldier, he is their battalion commander's exclusive communications officer, so he knows a lot more than ordinary soldiers.

In He Gui's narration, Shang Zhen and the others finally got a general understanding of LY's battle situation.

The Japanese army did not capture LY, but it was still in doubt. They had already invaded. But at this time, reinforcements from the Forty Army arrived.

The reinforcements of the Forty Army turned out to be the Fifty-ninth Army led by Commander Zhang.

Of course Shang Zhen had met Commander Zhang. He had begged Commander Zhang to send Xiao Dustpan to the hospital for treatment.

The situation at that time was that the 51st Army of the Northeast Army defended the north bank of the Huaihe River and suffered heavy casualties, and then the 59th Army went to reinforce it.

But now it seems that the Huaihe River line in the south has stabilized, and the situation in the north has become critical again, so Commander Zhang and the 59th Army rushed to the north again. He is a "firefighter"!

However, according to He Gui, Commander Zhang came with his people. Although he also sent troops into LY City, there were not many troops entering the city. They did not hold the position with their Forty Army. Instead, their large troops Crossing Yishui eastward, they launched an active attack on the Japanese flank and rear flank.

When talking about this, He Gui mentioned a piece of gossip he heard from his commander. It was said that Commander Zhang had a personal grudge against Commander Pang of their Forty Army.

The two armies originally belonged to the Northwest Army, but later they broke up for unknown reasons, and they both got to the point where we have you without me, and I without you.

Therefore, it is not clear to what extent the Fifty-ninth Army and the Japanese Army are fighting.

What He Gui knows best now is that his battalion is guarding the core position of Liujia Lake and is in a stalemate with the Japanese army there.

"What's the casualty situation in your battalion?" Shang Zhen asked again at this time.

"There are only two companies left after three consecutive battles. There are probably more than 200 people left." He Gui replied.

Shang Zhen said "Oh", not because he was surprised that there were more than 200 people in He Gui's company.

Although the Fortieth Army only has more than 10,000 people, it still bears the title of the Third Army Corps, even though this Army Corps has only one army.

The current organization of the Chinese army is such a mess.

That old man is the Supreme Command, and the lower level is divided into several war zones. Below the war zone, there is the Corps, whose status is lower than the war zone but higher than the group army.

But there is another legion below the group army, which is lower than the group army but higher than the corps.

There are several corps under the group army, and below the corps are divisions, and division-level units include adjustment divisions (German weapons divisions), new divisions, temporary divisions, young divisions, etc.

This kind of command system, let alone the issuance of military orders, sounds extremely cumbersome.

And all this is because after the Anti-Japanese War, someone finally confirmed his position as commander-in-chief. But the problem is that except for the Central Army, there are too many miscellaneous armies.

A miscellaneous army is just a flag. If you transfer the miscellaneous army of A to the miscellaneous army of B, then the miscellaneous army of A must be obedient?

Therefore, there is no choice but to change the number of various miscellaneous troops. If the number is changed, it means that your army is affiliated with the Central Command, which means it is legalized.

Now let’s use the 40th Army as an analogy.

Commander Pang of the 40th Army said, if you let me resist Japan, okay! But you can't let our Northwest Army obey the orders of the Guangdong Army, right? If the Guangdong army is a corps, then I must also be a corps. I am a young man, but why should I be one level lower than him?

So this is how the Fortieth Army came to be affiliated with the Third Corps. Although the name of the Corps sounds loud, there is really only one army below.

There are three divisions under the Forty Army, and each division has two regiments, that is six regiments. If you take the more than 10,000 troops of the Forty Army and go directly to the military headquarters and divide them by six, then do you think one regiment is A regiment with more troops than other armies? So it's not surprising that there are about 200 people in a company.

"Brother, your accent sounds like you're from the Northeast. May I ask which army you are from?" Then He Gui asked when he saw that Shang Zhen didn't say anything after asking.

Shang Zhen said nothing but looked at Guan Qiu, Zima Second Artillery and others, veterans of Hao Xiazi Company.

Shang Zhen didn't know which regiment Hao Xiazizi's company belonged to. Originally, he was thinking of hanging out for a few days and then running away, so he didn't care about which regiment this company belonged to and what the number of that regiment was.

"Ah, we are from the *** regiment, hey, old ball, why are you pinching me?" Ma Erpao is a straight-talking man.

But he never thought that he would be pinched by the old ball guy next to him just after he reported the number! Oops, this old ball is quite aggressive, Ma Erpao is a bit impatient.

Lao Qiuzi glared at Ma Erpao fiercely. He originally wanted to stop Ma Erpao from reporting the wrong number, but who would have thought that Ma Erpao's mouth would be so quick that it would be too late for him to reach out and pinch him.

Ma Erpao saw that Old Qiuzi had a strange look on his face but felt that Old Qiuzi had something to say, so he stopped saying anything.

What he was thinking was, wait until I ask you why you pinched me. If you can't fucking tell me one, two, three, I will pinch you again no matter what!

Ten minutes later, Shang Zhen and his team started marching again, but this time Shang Zhen and his team started to circle again, even further away from the main highway than before.

The veterans didn't ask what the meaning of this was, but they could figure it out. They killed another twenty or thirty little devils. Just the two and a half of us, don't let the little devils worry about you!

"Why did you pinch me all that time?" At this moment, Ma Erpao finally had the opportunity to ask Lao Qiuzi.

Just now he twisted his neck and looked at his waist. It was fucking bruised by the old ball, and it still hurts like a sizzling pain!

"Don't say that we are from the Forty Army. If He Gui spreads this news, won't we have to defend our position again?" Lao Qiuzi replied. He really had a reason to suppress the horse and the second artillery.

"That's fine if we don't defend our position, but which army do you think we belong to?" Ma Erpao asked.

He also forgot about the pain. Since he followed Shang Zhen, he no longer wanted to defend his position.

When defending the position, we can only fight against Japanese aircraft, artillery and tanks. So how can we beat the Japanese in this way? Although they ran away a lot, they killed many Japanese soldiers and were still alive. Is there anything more important in the world than this?

"Sir, which army are you from? Hehe." Old Qiuzi turned to ask Shang Zhen, who was walking with him.

"What about the 51st Army? You don't want to return to the army and want to join our Northeastern Army?" Shang Zhen said with a smile.

Shang Zhen didn't even have to guess what old Qiuzi was thinking. He thought of it when Lao Qiuzi tried to force him out of trouble.

"Hehe." Sure enough, Lao Qiuzi acquiesced with his own awkward smile.

"Move your shit out of your bed." Shang Zhen curled his lips disapprovingly, "The Central Army is his biological son, the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, which one is not a stepmother?"
