War means sacrifice!
In this great victory at the Huting stronghold, the entire New Regiment sacrificed a total of more than 300 soldiers.
This is normal. After all, the force responsible for the security mission of the Japanese observation group this time is the Kwantung Army, the serious Japanese ace force.
According to rough statistics, the new regiment wiped out a total of 1,200 Japs in the battle at Huting Stronghold.
The casualties on both sides were four to one!
This is already a very impressive result. Even the direct troops of the general president would not be able to achieve such a casualty ratio.
"So, for today's first glass of wine, we must first pay homage to our dead brothers. May they continue to bless us and drive the Japanese out as soon as possible."
After saying that, Chen Quan spilled the wine in the bowl on the ground.
All the warriors followed suit and scattered the wine in their bowls to the ground.
This is respect for the heroic spirit.
Without their fearless sacrifice, the New Regiment would not have been able to achieve such proud results.
At the same time, in order to let future generations remember the fallen soldiers, Shen Quan specially selected a large piece of flat land in the east of Qingyang Town and built the Merit Forest. All brothers who died on the battlefield will rest here, always looking at Xinyi The regiment drove the Japanese out.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Quan picked up the second bowl of wine and said: "Brothers, I want to pay tribute to you for these two bowls of wine. Thank you for your trust in me. You put your life in my hands and follow me fearlessly. Fight the devil.
I, Shen Quan, still say the same thing, I can't guarantee that each of you will live, but I guarantee that everyone's sacrifice is worth it.
I hope that from now on we can still kill the Japanese happily together. When the Japanese pirates are eradicated and the Great Xia is prosperous, those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are! "
When these words were shouted, the atmosphere at the scene was instantly brought to a climax, and all the soldiers shouted in unison:
"Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
"Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
The shouts were deafening and powerful!
Chu Yunfei on the side had all his blood stirred up by Shen Quan, and he murmured: "Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away he is!"
"Cheers, brothers!"
"To the commander, to the political commissar!"
Chen Quan held up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp with the other soldiers.
…
A celebration banquet and a few passionate words made the soldiers of the new regiment completely become Chen Quan's die-hard followers.
Even if Shen Quan said that he would attack Taiyuan at this moment, everyone would probably follow him with guns without hesitation.
This is the soul of the new group.
It looks inconspicuous on weekdays, but it looks like useless wood when put aside.
But as long as you throw a spark into this pile of waste wood, this pile of waste wood can burn out the strongest fire in the world.
And this spark is Chen Quan!
Zhao Gang picked up the wine, looked at Shen Quan enviously and said, "Old Shen, if it hadn't been for your ingenuity and calculation that the Japanese would attack the headquarters from Zhaojiayu, I wouldn't have been able to lead the troops to deploy in advance, let alone fight such a beautiful battle."
"Old Shen, thank you very much. I will definitely cooperate with you in your work in the future. I will not interfere in military matters anymore."
This battle completely convinced Zhao Gang of Shen Quan.
More importantly, this battle made Zhao Gang realize that he had truly become a member of the new regiment.
Although he was the political commissar of the new regiment before this, he was still distant from the soldiers. The soldiers only treated him as a leader and did not have the same feelings as Shen Quan.
During the Zhaojiayu Defense Battle, Shen Quan asked Zhao Gang to lead his troops alone to ambush the Japanese. This not only allowed Zhao Gang to find a sense of belonging, but also allowed the soldiers to see that the political commissar of the new regiment was not a white-faced scholar.
Chen Quan picked up the bowl and touched it lightly with Zhao Gang, and said: "Old Zhao, we are all brothers, don't say these polite words!"
Zhao Gang's blood was boiling, he picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, and said boldly: "Yes, we are brothers, and we are brothers who have died together with the entire new regiment of soldiers."
Zhao Gang couldn't bear to drink. After drinking three bowls with Shen Quan in a row, his eyes were already in a trance, so he had to return to his seat and eat slowly.
Afterwards, Shen Quan came to Chu Yunfei with wine and said: "Brother Chu, this great victory at the Huting stronghold is also inseparable from Brother Chu's contribution. I give you a bowl!"
Chu Yunfei quickly stood up and said: "Brother Shen is serious. This battle is all the result of the soldiers of the new regiment. I, Chu, am just a spectator."
The two of them touched their bowls and drank them all in one gulp.
Chen Quan said: "Brother Chu is so humble. You were born in Huangpu, and I am just a mud-legged person. There are so many things worth learning from you."
Mud legs?
Can mud-legged people understand Japanese?
Can the mud-legged man say that anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away it is?
Regardless of whether others believe that Shen Quan is a mud-legged person, Chu Yunfei won't believe it anyway.
Chu Yunfei said modestly: "Brother Shen is so polite. It is truly a blessing to meet Brother Shen in this life!"
After that, the two of them filled their cups with wine and drank it all in one gulp.
After paying tribute to Chu Yunfei, Shen Quan came to the table of the five Wolfbane Flower sisters with wine in his hand and said: "Xue Min, you are really awesome in the Lannigou ambush battle!"
After this battle, the Wolf Poison Flower Special Forces and the Dragon Group were officially merged, and Xue Min officially became the deputy leader of the Dragon Group Special Forces. The original deputy leader Wei Monk no longer served as the deputy leader of the Dragon Group Special Forces. Commander, just the commander of the regimental security company.
Xue Min said modestly: "Thanks to Commander Shen's wise command!"
"I give you five sisters a bowl. From now on, we will continue to fight the Japanese with great vigor!"
The six people held the bowls and drank them all in one gulp.
Leaning slightly, Liu Ruyan said charmingly: "Captain Shen, do you want to consider dating our captain? If that doesn't work, I can do it!"
"Liu Ruyan!!!"
Hearing this, Xue Min quickly cast a fierce look at Liu Ruyan behind him.
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Shen Quan joked: "When the family and country are not prosperous, how can we talk about the love between children?"
"Sisters, don't call me captain from now on. If you don't mind, call me Brother Quan!"
"Okay, Brother Quan!"
…
Afterwards, Shen Quan paid tribute to the battalion commanders one by one, and everyone drank and ate meat.
That night, Shen Quan was so drunk that he fell unconscious and felt indescribably happy.
Noon the next day!
Chen Quan lazily came out of the room and saw Monk Wei practicing in the courtyard.
"It's strange that you, a monk, don't stop drinking and eating, but you are very diligent in practicing!"
Monk Wei smiled honestly: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, but they remain in the heart of the Buddha. Even if I eat meat and drink alcohol, it will not affect my worship of the Buddha!"
While the two were joking, a young soldier ran into Shenquan's courtyard and said, "Report to the leader, a liaison officer from the World War II District Chief's Department came and said he wanted to see the leader!"
World War II zone?
Liaison officer of the superior department?
Shen Quan was stunned, what would such a person do in Xinyi Tuan?
