After eating the reception banquet at the military headquarters, Zhang Wei couldn't bear it, took the initiative to say goodbye to Commander Du and Chief of Staff Luo, and prepared to return to the regiment.
Because he didn't know the specific location of the station, Chief of Staff Luo specially transferred a three-wheeled motorcycle from the military department to pull Zhang Wei, so Zhang Wei took a three-wheeled motorcycle and rushed all the way to his unit.
Zhang Wei is a German-style sidecar motorcycle attached to the military headquarters of the Fifth Army, which is usually used for him to communicate and liaison, and a sergeant squad leader of the military department rode a motorcycle, drove the motorcycle to the maximum horsepower, and took Zhang Wei to drive on the country road.
Feeling the tremor of the motorcycle engine in the sidecar, Zhang Wei leaned on a leather chair and curled up his legs, the scenery of the countryside of Baoshan passed by, the potholed dirt road was lined with dense vegetation, and on the path, you could see groups of soldiers of the Fifth Army Special Service Battalion wearing white armbands.
On the road, there are occasionally people and caravans carrying firewood and leading mules and horses, Zhang Wei sits on a sidecar motorcycle, and will soon return to the army, blowing the breeze, looking at the beautiful scenery of the wild town on the border of Yunnan, very leisurely.
Zhang Wei hummed a little song with high interest, he wanted to return to the regiment, he was very happy in his heart, he left for more than three months, the troops experienced a large-scale relocation work, all the way from Guangxi to trains, cars and walking, tossed to this Yunnan border town, I don't know what is happening now.
"Brother, where is our regiment stationed?"
asked Zhang Wei.
"Sir, the second supplementary regiment is not too far from the military headquarters, next to the army special service battalion, and they are all stationed in the field."
The sergeant in the car replied.
"Baoshan is not a big place, the troops of our army are crowded here, and the people of Baoshan are not too crowded."
"Sir, do you know, except for the military headquarters leaning on the town, the other troops in the army are all in the field, there are not many places to set up camp, there is no place to set up tents, cut down trees and cut down forests, the following troops, all do this, clear the forests and fields and put tents, there are many people and small places, everyone is making do with it, anyway, it won't be long before we have to go to Burma, we will be on it, and we can't pay so much attention to being soldiers."
Zhang Wei then asked: "Brother, you also know about going to Myanmar."
The sergeant squad leader snorted.
"Sir, it has long been spread, when the troops went to Yunnan, the commanders and brothers of the troops below wondered why they went to Yunnan, and then the commander of the military department did not hide it, saying that it was possible to go abroad to fight, and then he really arrived in Yunnan, and met with other troops, there were people from the Sixth Army, and the 66th Army, as soon as they met, the matter of the troops going to Burma spread, and now the soldiers in the army know about this file, and some are timid, deserted, and there were many deserters when they first arrived in Yunnan, Even the handymen of the military headquarters ran away and were arrested by the people of the special service battalion and shot in public. ” "There are five handymen in the military department," Zhang Wei asked.
Sergeant squad leader: "Yes, the news of going abroad to fight a war came, people like us didn't have any reaction in their hearts, but some soldiers were afraid, the soldiers of the troops below were originally caught by strong men, and some of them had no bottom in their hearts, as soon as they heard that they were going abroad, they lost their courage, of course, they deserted, and the soldiers of those special service battalions on the road were patrolling and catching deserters, and the troops below also organized military discipline pickets and patrols to strictly correct military discipline and deserters. ” "I see, it seems that the brothers are not stable in their hearts when they move this place."
Zhang Wei sighed.
"Who says it's not, usually there are people who want to desert in Ansheng in the station, and now they want to go abroad to fight, there must be people who run, the brothers are basically from a bitter background, and they go to that place abroad to work hard, who can have no idea in their hearts."
Chatting with the sergeant squad leader who was driving, Zhang Wei learned the basic situation, and the news that the Fifth Army was about to go abroad to fight was no longer a secret, and even the big soldiers below knew about it, and the military headquarters did not take any secret measures, so it can be seen that the need to go abroad to fight a war was on the table.
However, the sergeant squad leader said that there were a lot of deserters, Zhang Wei couldn't help but worry about supplementing the second regiment, in his own regiment, most of the recruits were also sent to the army to catch strong men, and during the period in Yunnan, there were no deserters in the regiment Zhang Wei also muttered in his heart, I can't really have a few.
"Brother, drive faster."
"Yes, sir."
The German-style sidecar accelerated and drove along the country road to the station of the 2nd Supplementary Regiment.
On the southern outskirts of Baoshan, beside the dense jungle, there are hundreds of watchtowers built up of tents and trees, surrounded by trenches, guarded fortifications, light machine guns and guard posts are erected on the watchtowers, and heavily armed soldiers patrol around the surroundings, shouting and killing, one after another.
"Kill" In the open space, more than 1,000 soldiers shot and stabbed to kill, shouting with full of energy, Zhongzheng rifles were stabbed out advantageously, more than 1,000 bayonets and the same number of 35 steel helmets were shining in the sun, and Qiu Wei, the commander of the first battalion of the second supplementary regiment, who is also now the acting commander of the second supplementary regiment, shouted the assassination command at the assassination training ground, supervising the assassination training.
"Kill" On the other side, hundreds of soldiers were practicing their guns, and hundreds of them were forming several columns, lying on the ground, holding medium rifles and Czech light machine guns, and aiming motionlessly.
The soldiers of the three infantry battalions of the Second Regiment, who were supplementing the second regiment, were still unshaken in the temporary camp and were training hard in the basic tactical skills of the infantry, while the engineer company and the artillery company were practicing their specialized subjects; on the periphery of the temporary camp, the soldiers of the engineer company could be seen everywhere practicing earthwork and blasting operations, and the fortifications and trees cut down by the second division of the artillery company were also concentrating on using artillery to carry out aiming and shooting exercises at this time, and the officers and men of the whole regiment were in a state of high-intensity training.
In the dense forest outside the barracks, a squad of concealed outposts was hidden in foxholes, with rifles and light machine guns in their hands fully loaded, vigilantly guarding the surrounding area of the barracks.
Xue Rong, the platoon commander of the special service platoon of the Second Supplementary Regiment, was also among them, and Xue Rong was holding a telescope to observe and be vigilant.
The surrounding spy platoon secret sentinel, also widened his eyes, searching everywhere, Zhang Wei usually set the requirements, every unit of the second regiment is being implemented in a standard, this alert is no exception, although it is in Yunnan, in a place where it is impossible to meet the enemy, but the supplementary second regiment special service platoon is still faithful, and the standard is to take on the vigilance task of the whole regiment.
On the path, the sound of a motorcycle engine can be heard.
"Platoon commander, there is a situation ahead" A soldier from the special service platoon beside Xue Rong roared in a low voice.
In an instant, more than a dozen people raised their rifles and light machine guns together and aimed them at the country road, Xue Rong raised his binoculars and hurriedly observed, as long as he gave the order to fire, the secret sentry squad could concentrate its firepower and block the country road with the fire of a Czech light machine gun, a Type 27 50mm grenadier and a 28-gun grenade and nine neutral rifles.
A motorcycle appeared in Xue Rong's telescope, the distance was shortened, Xue Rong saw the person in the car clearly, immediately walked forward quickly, and then said happily.
"Put the gun down, the regimental commander is back":
