The First Marine Regiment is one of the few elite special forces of the Eighth Route Army at this stage.
In order to maintain a far-leading combat effectiveness and not lose to their counterparts in the international field in terms of various types of paper data, the soldiers sweat and bleed a lot in daily training.
As the top commander of this force, Li Yunlong naturally did not want someone who was not so "gregarious" to join temporarily.
What's more, the other party's identity is extremely special, and his military rank is even one level higher than his own. If something happens on the battlefield, it might cause quite a dispute.
After thinking for a moment, Lao Li came to his senses and tentatively tried to persuade him:
"Comrade Cui, it's not that I have any objections to you, nor am I deliberately making things difficult for our allies. The main thing is that soldiers who perform airborne missions need to go through many years of training and accumulation."
"Even our 1st Marine Regiment cannot guarantee that all members of the Marine Corps can land safely in every operation."
"You don't have any experience in high-altitude parachuting, and you don't know much about our regiment's combat methods. Whether it is from a military perspective or a personal relationship, I suggest you think twice before you act."
While speaking, Captain Li continued to signal Huang He with his eyes, hoping that his fellow villagers would help.
There is no way, who told this to be a task personally assigned by the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy general staff officer. As a soldier, he had no room for refusal.
Of course, if the problem can be solved from the source, that's another matter.
It can't be that the allies themselves have changed their minds, so the two bosses have to tie them up to transport planes or gliders and force them to carry out dangerous missions together.
At this moment, Huang He was also a little worried.
Although Huang is not a commander of the front-line combat troops, as one of the founders of the Eighth Route Army's airborne troops, he naturally knows that every parachute jump is accompanied by high risks.
But this time Lao Cui came all the way to Taiyuan because he was invited by the headquarters to observe the Eighth Route Army's special military operations in North China. Now that someone has made a request with very national characteristics, we are really in a dilemma, and neither agreeing nor rejecting is appropriate.
Just when Huang and Li were extremely entangled, Lao Cui, who was good at observing words and emotions, spoke in time and broke the current deadlock.
"Captain Li, I know you are worried about my personal safety. You can rest assured about this. I have been on the battlefield a lot since I came to the Republic of China. Japanese, I understand!"
"What's more, I'm not a weak civil servant. Three or five dwarfs can't get close to me. Coupled with the personal protection of Company Commander Lu, this trip will be safe."
In a sense, Lao Cui has always been reckless, no matter in his daily behavior or command style.
During the Winter War that year, if he had been more cautious and allowed the main force and logistics department to adapt to the local climate before attacking, his Ninth Army would not have been beaten by the Finns.
Things like changing an olive green tank into snow camouflage only two months after the war started is a classic mistake case left by this reckless man in the history of war.
Of course, being sent to the Republic of China for making mistakes was not entirely a bad thing.
Although the various confusing behaviors of Preserved Fruit made Lao Cui's trip to the mountain city a very poor experience, at least he avoided the most brutal early stage of Operation Barbarossa.
If he had stayed in the north, there was a high probability that he would go to a prisoner of war camp to keep company with Lu Jin.
Combined with the above experience, it is not difficult for us to understand why Lao Cui insisted on acting with the Marine Regiment. The old man and the reckless man, this buff is stacked to the limit.
Hearing his ally suddenly mention his name, the big man from Hebei, known as Company Commander Lu, immediately stepped forward, saluted Li Yunlong and said:
"Captain Li, under the orders of the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy general staff officer, I will be responsible for protecting Comrade Cui's safety during this trip. As long as I am here, the Japanese will never get close to him."
"The leaders specifically requested that the two of us follow your guard platoon and try not to get too close to the frontline battlefield."
If the above words were said by others, Li Yunlong would most likely sneer at them.
The first batch of soldiers of the 1st Marine Regiment were selected from the elite of the three main forces. Even these comrades who have experienced hundreds of battles dare not pat their chests and promise that they can guarantee the safety of someone's life on the chaotic battlefield.
But if it is Captain Lu, then the other party can definitely keep his word.
This fierce man had an unbeatable record of stabbing to death twenty-seven enemies in a row in hand-to-hand combat. He often took the lead in charging into battle, and it was common for him to challenge several Japanese and puppet soldiers alone.
During the Hundred Regiments War, Captain Lu's troops were blocked by the Japanese.
At the critical moment, he rushed to the enemy's bunker alone under a hail of bullets, grabbed the hot barrel of the gun, and wrested a machine gun from its firing port.
In a sense, this man was the first individual soldier in the Eighth Route Army. The nickname of Lu Bu in the army and the ever-victorious warrior is not for nothing.
When the whole army was selected, Commander Li went straight to the 129th Division at the first stop, trying to seduce the deputy commander-in-chief by his tiger skin.
result?
That must have been directly persuaded to retreat by the looks of the division commander and brigade commander.
There was no way, the four words "Gong Xi Fa Cai" were almost engraved into Lao Li's bones. Even if he had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, he would not dare to kidnap people from his two old leaders.
Seemingly sensing the loosening of his allies, Lao Cui decided to add another bargaining chip.
"Captain Li, before we set off, I will send a telegram to my superiors to explain the situation. Even if there is an accident, it will not implicate your Eighth Route Army and cause any negative impact."
"I've done similar things in the mountain city, so you can rest assured!"
In June of this year, Desan launched the long-planned Operation Barbarossa.
Upon learning this shocking news, Baldhead was so happy that he almost fainted. He even made it clear in his diary that the Germans took a bad breath on his behalf.
After all, in his opinion, Guo Preserved has been oppressed by the north for seventeen years, and today can definitely be regarded as the end of all hardships.
If this world war occurs, Xiaori will be defeated and Lao Maozi will be weakened. And the Ugly Country breaks through again by picking up the pieces, thus forming a world situation of one superpower and multiple powers, then they can become one of the ultimate beneficiaries.
If conditions permit, Bald Head even hopes that Benzi will tear up the treaty just signed some time ago when the North is at its weakest.
This can not only weaken friendly countries, but also reduce the pressure on one's own family on the frontal battlefield.
With the above thoughts in mind, during the Second Battle of Tanzhou, after gaining a certain advantage, the preserved fruit troops did not counterattack in the Yichang area.
Because the bald head believed that being too strong would hinder the Japanese army and make them give up their plan to go north.
This made Lao Cui very anxious. In order to allow the preserved fruits to send out troops as soon as possible to attract the firepower of the Japanese army, Lao Maozi ran to the position every day and formulated a series of combat plans for the civil engineering department.
The telegraph just mentioned was a product of that period.
Finally, Lao Cui's persistence bore fruit. Seeing the extremely serious attitude of his allies, Captain Li said helplessly:
"Okay, then you and Lao Lu will set off with us. Zhang Dabiao! You take them two to find Deputy Commander Xing. If you don't sharpen your guns quickly before the battle, it will be wasted. While there is still some time before departure, hurry up and make up for the comrades. Basics of parachuting.”
"Comrade Cui, once the operation begins, you must not act without authorization. You must stay close to my guard platoon throughout the entire process!"
Obviously, Lao Cui was in a very good mood after achieving his goal.
Facing Captain Li's instructions, he first nodded wildly to indicate that he understood, and then beat his chest excitedly.
"Take my sword! The best sword in China! The White Emperor's Holy Sword! Yu Jian, follow me! Ula!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed strange expressions.
Especially Huang He, almost everyone can see the smile on his face.
There was nothing I could do. I never expected that after traveling through the world of Bright Sword for so many years, I would still be attacked by an old stalker from my previous life.
"Old Cui, what are you talking about? I know the sword, and I also know the Baidi City, but what is the White Emperor's Holy Sword? Do you want to fight a little devil with a bayonet?"
"That's not possible. It's not safe to fight hand-to-hand."
In fact, Captain Li is not to blame for this matter. After all, the allies have been speaking Chinese since they came to Taiyuan. Suddenly, a Russian phrase full of homophones will make anyone confused.
Although Li Yunlong's educational level has been improving since he was transferred to a paratrooper, he has almost reached the third year of secondary education.
Considering the high probability of parachute landing in Tokyo in the future, he even found a Japanese teacher in the headquarters to prepare for the future attack on the Locust's palace.
but!
For Lao Li, Russian is really a language that he has never been exposed to before.
Fortunately, Huang He spoke in time and explained the meaning of what he just said to everyone in the 1st Marine Regiment and Captain Lu.
"Eat my sword, the first sword in China, which means strength and honor, victory and death. This sentence is very popular among the troops in the north. They basically shout it several times during mobilization."
"As for the White Emperor's Holy Sword, the meaning of Yujian following me is that I am for everyone and everyone is for me. You are all old comrades who have walked through the grass and climbed over the snow-capped mountains. There is no need to explain what this sentence means." (This chapter. over)
