Chapter 114: The Combat Mission of the Independent Brigade (Part 2)
When he heard the words Luo Zhuoying, Li Guoyao's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately said loudly: "Hello, sir!"
I am afraid that many Chinese people should know who Luo Zhuoying is. He is not just the deputy commander-in-chief of the bullshit Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, but also the soul of the civil engineering department in the Kuomintang army.
Chiang Kai-shek started his career at the Whampoa Military Academy, especially those led by Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying, who were regarded as his first trusted and direct troops to expand his strength. In the twelve years from 1925 to 1937, Chen and Luo were the main forces in the Eastern and Northern Expeditions, the Great War in the Central Plains, the Jiang-Gui War, and even the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army to unify China. Generals Chen and Luo were also loyal and determined to follow.
During this period, the 11th Division under Chen Cheng was expanded into the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with Chen Cheng serving as Army Commander and Luo Zhuoying succeeding as Division Commander. Eleven is earth and eighteen is wood, so this military division is also called the "civilian department". It is the number one ace unit of the national army and the main backbone of the future resistance war. Later, Luo Zhuoying was promoted to deputy commander of the 18th Army and performed the duties of acting commander for his "recruitment of the army through military training and repeated outstanding achievements".
Later, Chen Cheng was transferred to Chiang Kai-shek's Senior Privy Council. The Department of Civil Engineering was responsible for military affairs, and Luo Zhuoying was appointed to lead it. Therefore, during the Anti-Japanese War, Luo was actually a concrete operator in the civil engineering department. Furthermore, major military decisions made by Chiang Kai-shek and Chen must be entrusted to the implementation of close confidants to ensure safety, and this person must be Luo Shi.
Luo also lived up to his expectations, and successively led the main force of the Central Army in his capacities as army commander, commander-in-chief of the group army, chief and deputy commander of the theater, and chief and deputy commander-in-chief of large-scale battles, marching forward bravely. Whenever encountering tough battles, he always rushes to the front and fights fiercely with fierce enemies in major battlefields in East China, Central China, Central South China, and Yunnan and Burma. He is known as the "firefighting team" in the national army.
The 18th Army has successively produced five first-level generals, four chiefs of staff, two commanders-in-chief of the navy, one commander-in-chief of the air force, one commander-in-chief of logistics and joint forces, and more than 20 military commanders. one. Although this was due to Chen Cheng's guidance, Luo Zhuoying's contribution to maintaining the cultivation is also indispensable.
During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, Luo Zhuoying was the first to bear the brunt of the Battle of Songhu, then moved to Changshu and Guangde, defended the capital Nanjing, commanded the defense of Wuhan, organized the counterattack on Nanchang, and won the great victory of Shanggao, and even three battles of Changsha and an expedition to Burma, until the final victory. , it can be said that there are battles in the south and the north, and there is almost no battle without fighting.
For such a true iron-blooded general, Li Guoyao admired him from the bottom of his heart, so his attitude when speaking was naturally much more respectful.
"I have read Brigadier Li's resume before. You seem to have a serious expression. I will call you my cousin from now on!" Luo Zhuoying said with a smile.
"Yes, sir!"
"By the way, solemnly, how did you kill the Japanese prince? Can you tell us?" Luo Zhuoying asked again.
Li Guoyao was not pretentious. He told the ins and outs of the incident and the combat process in detail. When Luo Zhuoying and others learned that Li Guoyao dared to go deep into Shanghai with only more than fifty soldiers, and even visited the commander of the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Force at night. Everyone was dumbfounded by what he said.
What¡¯s more important is that Li Guoyao, who had done such a big thing, was able to successfully return to Nanjing despite being hunted by thousands of Japanese troops. This ability is truly unique!
"Serious, he is worthy of being an anti-Japanese hero praised by the commissioner himself. With his courage and ability, he is definitely the first of the younger generation. I think Zhang Xingchen's nephew is no more than that!" Lieutenant General Liu Xing also said with a look of amazement. .
Although Li Guoyao did not know the identity of the person who spoke, Li Guoyao knew that the Zhang Xingchen he spoke of was none other than the famous anti-Japanese hero Zhang Zizhong. It is said that he has a nephew who is serving in the army and seems to be quite talented.
Luo Zhuoying nodded and said: "Before, I could see the dangers of your battle in Shanghai just from reading the telegram, but when I hear you say it like this, I feel that I will escape death. What a good man!"
Then Luo Zhuoying suddenly said: "By the way, solemnly, what is the current situation of your independent brigade? How many people are there, and what are the weapons and equipment?"
Li Guoyao immediately said: "Our unit currently has 3,960 troops, which is at full capacity, but its weapons and equipment only include more than 1,300 long guns, 8 light and heavy machine guns, and only two small-caliber mortars. Cannon, the overall combat capability is very weak!"
"Oh, you actually have four thousand people?" Luo Zhuoying asked with a look of surprise.
"They were all defeated troops collected from Long along the way. The Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, the Hunan Army, the Gui Army, and the Central Army were all there. They even recruited a group of bandits. They were pulled together. The combat effectiveness is probably even small. Even half the Japanese army can't compare with it." Li Guoyao replied.
"No matter how weak we are, there are still four thousand people!"
At this point, Luo Zhuoying suddenly said to Tang Shengzhi and others: "Brother Meng Xiao (Tang Shengzhi's cousin), weren't we worried just now that there were no troops to maintain law and order in the city? Don't we already have one?"
Tang Shengzhi thought for a while and said: "Although the Independence Brigade has four thousand people, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees and defeated troops in the city. Can they really maintain order in the city?"
Luo Zhuoying looked at Li Guoyao, and then said: "Seriously, the current situation is like this. The city of Nanjing is basically surrounded by the Japanese army, and the troops in the city have basically been pulled to the front line, but Due to the influx of a large number of refugees and defeated troops into the city, there are even Japanese Japanese troops who have disguised themselves and infiltrated into Nanjing City, sometimes causing destruction, so now we need a force to maintain order"
Before Luo Zhuoying could finish speaking, Li Guoyao said loudly: "Leave the task of ordering this to our independent brigade!"
"But your strength seems to be less than ideal?"
"Sir, it's actually easy to maintain order in Nanjing City. I just need the sir to agree to a few conditions!" Li Guoyao said.
"Oh, whatever the conditions are, feel free to mention them, and we will try our best to agree to them as long as we can do it!"
"The first condition is that I ask the commander for permission that we can gather the defeated troops in the city on our own to enhance our strength!"
"Can!"
"The second condition is that we are allowed to evacuate the refugees in the city as much as possible, because the city is in such chaos now. The main reason is that there are too many unrest factors in the city. Before the Japanese army has completely By blocking the Yangtze River, we can focus on evacuating the refugees in the city!"
Luo Zhuoying did not speak, but turned his attention to Tang Shengzhi. After all, Tang Shengzhi, the garrison commander, had to speak about this matter!
Tang Shengzhi was silent for a while and said: "I can agree to this condition, but you must guarantee one thing, that is, only refugees can be evacuated. Any army is strictly prohibited from crossing the river without an order from the garrison headquarters! I will send the military police at that time Went to inspect the dock!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Then Li Guoyao continued: "The third thing is that the garrison headquarters needs to provide some weapons and equipment and military uniforms for our department, especially the military uniforms. Our department is still wearing the military uniforms of the original army. The miscellaneous ones look very eye-catching. Please help me, sir!" "
"Help is out of the question. The weapons and equipment that the Military Commission promised to give you the independent brigade are in the Logistics Department. Just ask Deputy Commander Luo to write a note for you and go get it directly." Tang Shengzhi said.
"Thank you, sir!"
Seeing that Li Guoyao stopped talking, Luo Zhuoying immediately said: "That's all, no other requirements?"
"No more. If possible, sir, please give us more uniforms!" Li Guoyao said.
"Okay, in addition, I will make all the police in the city obey the command of your independent brigade. Although the overall quality of these police is not very good, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the regular field troops, there is no big problem in cooperating with you to maintain order. !" Luo Zhuoying said.
Hearing this, Li Guoyao's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he didn't know how many police officers there were in Nanjing, as the capital of China today, the number of police officers in Nanjing was definitely not small.
Now that the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters has put these people under the management of their independent brigade, this is equivalent to giving them thousands of soldiers at once, which is a good thing!
"Thank you, sir!"
"Well, I leave the order of Nanjing City to your Independent Brigade!"
"Please don't worry, sir!"
Then Luo Zhuoying wrote a long note in person, and then asked the adjutant to take out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Li Guoyao, saying: "Go!"
"yes!"
