Chapter 270: Angry at Yu Xiaoqing
Before crossing the river, Lu Cheng was still a major battalion commander, and he was a major battalion commander who was casually abandoned by Yu Xiaoqing as cannon fodder.
After crossing the river, Lu Cheng was already a colonel and a colonel appointed by the principal himself, on par with Yu Xiaoqing.
The most important thing is that the Sichuan Army Corps number, which was originally used by Yu Xiaoqing as a gimmick, also fell into Lu Cheng's hands.
When Yu Xiaoqing heard the news and rushed over and saw Lu Cheng, his face was darker than the bottom of a pot.
"Captain Lu, I would like to ask you, you still have a regiment of soldiers under your command, with guns, cannons, and ammunition, and you have superior manpower and favorable terrain. Why did you withdraw to the east bank and hand over Nantianmen to the Japanese? Why didn't you fight to the last man?"
Lu Cheng didn't want to quarrel with Yu Xiaoqing at first, after all, he had worked under him before. But after hearing this, he decided to quarrel with him: "Captain Yu, I want to ask you, if it weren't for me and these 1,700-plus brothers who defended Nantianmen and bought time for you to deploy defenses on the east coast, would the Japanese have already rushed into Zenda? Can you defend the river defense with your useless men?
When we went to Burma, you only left a pair of shorts for my soldiers. When we arrived in Burma, you easily abandoned us. You, Commander Yu, walked around Burma without firing a shot, and took away the equipment of an entire regiment. Is this how you fight the Japanese? Is this how you treat your so-called comrades?
Soldiers should die meaninglessly on the battlefield, just like you said? Why didn't you go to Nantianmen with your submachine gun to kill the devils? Why didn't you charge at the devil's regiment? What gives you the right to stand here and give orders? Is it because you have a father who is a corps commander? "
Since you don't know what's good for you and don't give me face, don't blame me for trampling on your face.
Yu Xiaoqing's blood boiled when he heard this, and he almost fainted from anger: "You!"
When it comes to arguing with people, Lu Cheng has never been afraid of anyone.
The military commissioner standing by was actually somewhat happy when he saw the two people arguing.
Yu Xiaoqing's father wanted to transform his troops into the Yu Family Army and become a new warlord, which naturally caused dissatisfaction from his superiors.
People in the military are hoping that Lu Cheng and Yu Xiaoqing will fight each other, and it would be best if the Yu family could be embarrassed.
When Yu Xiaoqing's guards saw that their commander was so angry, they all raised their guns and stepped forward.
However, as soon as they raised their guns, more than a thousand soldiers on the riverside immediately raised their guns. Some even loaded their light and heavy machine guns and aimed them at Yu Xiaoqing and his men.
The special commissioner quickly stood up and said, "Captain Lu, Captain Yu, you two are both pillars of the party and the country. You should work together to fight against Japan. How can you quarrel among yourselves? Isn't this a joke for the villagers?"
The people of Zenda standing by looked at Yu Xiaoqing and his men with a bit more contempt in their eyes.
Normally, although Yu Xiaoqing claimed to be strict in military discipline, he did not care about the minor matters under him. The proud Yu family soldiers also showed off their power in front of the people. Although they did not bully the people, they did not respect them much. They all looked up to the military masters and were the bosses.
Although the people were somewhat dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it as they were used to being bullied anyway.
But now that the two sides have compared their forces, who saved Zenda and who fought a bloody battle for two days and two nights at the Nantianmen? Who among the people doesn't know this?
Yu Xiaoqing always liked to shout slogans, and he even liked to talk about the hardships being the top priority. He believed that at this point in the war, every Chinese soldier deserved to die, and that soldiers should be brave enough to sacrifice.
But he never thought about what was wrong with those low-level soldiers? They were soldiers just for a way to survive, just for the pay, but many soldiers' pay was not enough to support themselves, they were not well fed or clothed, and they had to fight to the death with powerful enemies on the battlefield.
It can be said that most of the soldiers at the bottom of the hierarchy are worthy of the uniforms they wear. On the contrary, it is the superiors who encourage the soldiers to die while withholding their military pay and taking advantage of the national crisis to make money.
Yu Xiaoqing must know who really deserves to die. If his father were dragged out and shot a hundred times, there would definitely not be a single injustice.
But Yu Xiaoqing would not think about these things. He would only think that he was the one who was untainted by the mud, that he was a real iron-blooded soldier, and that everything he did was to be on the alert and prepare for recovering the lost territory.
But Yu Xiaoqing did not expect that Lu Cheng, who was just a small major in front of him before, would directly fall out with him as soon as he became the regiment commander.
"Captain Yu, instead of questioning me here, why not ask yourself, have you really arranged the river defense? When will you be able to recover the lost territory? Don't just talk and don't do anything, you will only drug the hot-blooded young people around you."
After saying that, Lu Cheng casually snatched the gun from the guard Yu Xiaoqing opposite him, removed the magazine, and used it like a stick to knock down the weapons in the hands of the other guards who were pointing guns at them.
"I don't like people pointing guns at me. If it happens again, I'll shoot you all."
After saying that, Lu Cheng casually threw the submachine gun in his hand back: "Such a good gun, in your hands, is just a fire stick that can only be pointed at your compatriots!"
A warm welcome ceremony ended unpleasantly because of a few words from Yu Xiaoqing.
Finally, under the persuasion of the military's special envoy, both sides withdrew and the surrounding people also returned home.
Afterwards, the special envoy had someone bring a complete set of colonel's military uniform and supporting equipment, including one set of summer clothes, one set of winter clothes, two pairs of military boots, two military caps, two pairs of white gloves, two sets of collar badges, a Browning pistol, a military radio, etc.
Of course, there is also a new colonel regimental commander's officer certificate.
At this time, the National Army's uniforms were based on the Zhongshan suit, with some individual designs borrowed from the German military uniforms. The military cap was also a round cloth cap with two buttons and a blue sky and white sun badge on it.
Lu Cheng temporarily said goodbye to the military special envoy, and Lu Cheng took Chen Xiaozui directly back home.
After arriving home, Chen Xiaozui immediately busied himself with boiling water for Lu Cheng to take a bath.
On the way back, Lu Cheng couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the villagers and ate a few buns, eggs, etc., and added the meat buns and an egg steamed by Chen Xiaozui. He was no longer hungry at this time.
While Chen Xiaozui was boiling water, Lu Cheng had already taken off his military uniform, leaving only a pair of shorts, revealing his muscular body. His perfect muscle lines and extremely strong masculine aura would make any woman unable to walk when seeing him.
When rubbing Lu Cheng's back and body, Chen Xiaozui was completely drunk. As he was rubbing, he couldn't help but reach out to touch him.
The final result is self-evident. A short separation makes one feel better than a new marriage. The feelings are deepened. The old bed needs to be replaced with a new one.
After a good fight, Lu Cheng completely released all the emotions accumulated from the recent battles. He felt refreshed and completely relaxed.
When Lu Cheng put on his clothes and walked out of the house, Chen Xiaozui came out leaning against the wall, his eyes full of spring water, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.
"Okay, go back and rest first. I'll be back in the evening after I finish my work."
"Well~ I'll wait for you."
Just as Lu Cheng and his young wife were having a deep emotional exchange, the special envoy from the military directly called the military headquarters in Chongqing and reported to his superiors everything that happened after he met Lu Cheng, including the entire process of the dispute between Lu Cheng and Yu Xiaoqing.
In fact, if Lu Cheng and Yu Xiaoqing got too close and tried to establish a relationship with the Yu family army, the higher-ups would definitely be unhappy. Even if the Allied Command specifically praised him, they would still have people control Lu Cheng.
But now that Lu Cheng had fallen out with the Yu Family Army, he severed ties with them and came directly under the military, so he could be trained as a priority.
"Didn't Lu Cheng bring back a lot of light and heavy machine guns and mortars from Burma? How can we guard the river without infantry artillery? Send him a few 75mm mountain guns. Also, ask the Yu family's regiment to withdraw from Zenda and hand over the defense of Zenda to Lu Cheng and his regiment. Oh, and where is Dai Li? Ask him to send a few intelligence agents to Lu Cheng's regiment."
