Chapter 172 Zhanghe Blocking 1
Looking at the big plain, the officers and soldiers cheered, and their pace of going down the mountain also accelerated. After going down the mountain, the team quickly embarked on a flat road.
There were many people on the road, most of whom were fleeing south, and were mixed with defeated soldiers in groups of three or three.
Li Qinglin caught several soldiers and inquired. It turned out that the Battle of Baoding had ended. The Japanese army broke through the Baoding defense line of the national army on September 23, and Baoding fell on September 24.
After the fall of Baoding, Liu Zhi still had a hundred thousand troops in his hands. If he had a little determination to resist, he could have organized a battle in Shijiazhuang. However, the famous "Long-legged General" Liu Zhi was scared by the Japanese army. The 100,000 troops under his command retreated thousands of miles, so the Sichuan Army, Northwest Army, Northeast Army and Central Army gathered around Baoding, each breaking through the siege and running southward. There were almost no military defense vacuum areas on both sides of the Pinghan Line.
History has not changed because of its own rebirth, it is still moving forward according to its original trajectory. Li Qinglin sighed secretly in his heart.
Most of the straitors and straitors mixed with refugees carried guns, and the incidents of bullying the weak and snatching property occurred from time to time. Li Qinglin ordered that whenever he encountered straitors and straitors, they would be disarmed and incorporated, and all the defeated soldiers included were trained and reorganized by Wu Cheng.
Most of these scattered soldiers are veterans, and they are more or less a little bit careless. For these headache-inducing soldiers, Li Qinglin came up with a good idea, which is to use the security team that was incorporated in the early stage to take care of them.
The soldiers of these security regiments turned out to be soldiers, and they could all the newly incorporated scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers. Therefore, Li Qinglin used this method of using poison to fight poison and really had a magical effect. After three or two days, these scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers were actually managed to be submissive.
After a few days, Li Qinglin and the others actually recruited seventy or eighty people, and the entire team grew to more than one hundred and forty. Fortunately, Li Qinglin and the others brought enough supplies and enough oceans in their hands, so so many people could eat enough. Being able to eat enough is particularly important for those soldiers coming from the miscellaneous army. In addition, Li Qinglin and the others never beat and scold soldiers outside of training. After a few days of adaptation, these soldiers all integrated into the team steadily.
As there are more people and the team grows, it needs to be reorganized. Li Qinglin reorganized these people according to the company's organization. Li Qinglin was elected as company commander by everyone, and Wu Cheng was appointed as company Fu, who was responsible for training. Zhao Shuanzhu, Zhang Ergou, the big man was automatically promoted to temporary platoon leader, Xiao Liuzi, Li Gousheng and other veterans were deemed to be squad leader.
It turned out that the Hanyang artifact used by the soldiers of the security regiment had been sold. Li Qinglin formally allocated the veterans to them, and the veterans of the 10th Division were equipped with the 38th Style they brought with them.
Under the leadership of Li Qinglin and others, a company that has always been very strange appeared on the road. Their weapons were mixed and their military uniforms were diverse, but the officers and soldiers were very morale and strict in military discipline, and they were like a very combat-capable company.
On October 5, Li Qinglin and his team finally marched to the border of Wan'an County. Xiao Liuzi and his team were very excited because their hometown was right in front of them. However, the situation of the war was not optimistic, but more and more troops were defeated from the front line on the road. Li Qinglin asked someone to inquire and found out that Shimen (now Shijiazhuang) had fallen yesterday.
At noon, the team rested on the roadside. Li Qinglin asked Xiao Liuzi to find a big family to buy food and vegetables. They were preparing to make a fire on the roadside to cook.
While waiting for lunch, Xiao Liuzi suddenly escorted two people. The two people were clamoring along the way, as if they were arguing with Xiao Liuzi. When Xiao Liuzi brought them over, Li Qinglin realized that Xiao Liuzi and the others had caught two big cigarette dealers.
Since Britain used strong ships and cannons to open the country of the Qing Dynasty with its use of opium, the harm of tobacco and poison has been raging in China for a long time, with tobacco shops everywhere, and the number of addicts is increasing. Especially in modern times, due to warlord melee, these local warlord forces have grown cigarettes and dealt with cigarettes in order to raise military expenses. Although the Republic of China government ordered a ban on smoking, the open and semi-public opium transactions have never ended. Although the Japanese invaders' aggressive war is imminent, these private tobacco dealers took risks and continued to trade for huge profits.
At noon, Xiao Liuzi and his class was on duty. It was also an accident that these two people were intercepted by Xiao Liuzi and the others. The Japanese army was approaching, and almost everyone on the road was walking south, while the two people were pushing a wheelbarrow and heading north. This is very doubtful, so Xiao Liuzi intercepted them.
The cargo on the wheelbarrow was full, but it was filled with incense, candles and yellow paper. Two big men pushed a cart of worthless goods to a dangerous place. Xiao Liuzi thought that the two might be spies from the Japanese army at the first time, so he intercepted them for inspection. This inspection revealed something unusual, and it turned out that there were two or three hundred kilograms of opium cigarettes hidden under the goods.
This was the first time Li Qinglin encountered this situation, and he didn't know what to do about it. At this time, Wu Cheng made a move. He called the two of them to the side of the road and scolded them. After explaining the big truth and the small truth, he drove them away. Of course, the goods were confiscated by Xiao Liuzi and the others.
At this time, opium cigarettes were very popular and could even be circulated as hard currency among the people, and their status was not much worse than that of the ocean. The goods of these two people were confiscated, so they naturally were unwilling to accept it, so they pulled Xiao Liuzi to mess around on the roadside, thinking that at least half of their smoke would be paid back.
The lunch was already cooked, and Xiao Liuzi and the others were anxious to go to have a meal. Now these soldiers are very good at eating. If they go late, they might not have to eat. The two people were still talking nonstop, which made Xiao Liuzi angry. Xiao Liuzi removed the gun from his shoulder, then pulled the bolt to the fire with a "slam" and shouted: "Didn't the sir tell you just now that cigarette dealers are illegal? Are you still aware of cigarette dealers? You are so entangled with him, so I'd just jumped at you."
As soon as Xiao Liuzi got angry, the other soldiers following him also pulled the guns. Seeing that Xiao Liuzi's eyes were fierce, the two cigarette dealers knew that they would not come back today, so they had to give up the matter of asking for cigarettes.
People and soldiers were constantly walking south on the road. Xiao Liuzi and his friends quarreled and arguing, which attracted the attention of another group of soldiers. This group of soldiers also came down from the north, with about four or five hundred people in total. Judging from their uniforms and equipment, they were also the Central Army. The person who led this group of people was a lieutenant colonel. He was not tall, was quite handsome, and was about forty years old.
Li Qinglin and his friends had already brought their lunch. The soldiers were making meals in an orderly manner according to the squad. After Xiao Liuzi and his friends drove away the tobacco dealers, they also returned to the team to have dinner.
On the surface, Li Qinglin's team's weapons and costumes were messy, and they looked like a group of messy defeated soldiers, but they were orderly when they were having dinner, and they were completely a well-trained company.
The lieutenant colonel turned his head and whispered a few words to the officers beside him, and then walked towards Li Qinglin and the others.
