Chapter 393 Disabled Soldiers
After Zhang Lingfu finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the entire dormitory.
Qiu Weida, Hu Lian and Xia Ming all stared at Zhang Lingfu.
After a while, Qiu Weida asked, "Zhong Lin, do you think the Second Army can defend Taierzhuang?"
"I don't know." Zhang Lingfu shook his head and then continued, "But Sun Lianzhong is a famous general in the Northwest Army. During the Central Plains War, he once defeated the Central Army! The Second Army is the old foundation of the Northwest Army and has a very strong combat power. Of course, these are not the main ones."
Qiu Weida and Hu Lian looked at each other and asked, "What is the main thing?"
Zhang Lingfu said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that the principal has personally visited Taierzhuang Station twice to cheer for all the soldiers of the Second Army. When the principal left Taierzhuang yesterday, the Japanese vanguard had even arrived at Yangcun in the northern suburbs of Taierzhuang, and the two sides almost had an encounter!"
Qiu Weida and Hu Lian were shocked.
The principal knew that the Japanese vanguard was about to drive to Taierzhuang, but he still went to Taierzhuang to cheer the defenders regardless of his personal safety. This is enough to prove that the principal and the commander-in-chief are very determined this time!
"So." Zhang Lingfu nodded and continued, "I personally think that Sun Lian's Second Army has a great chance of defending Taierzhuang this time. It should be no problem to hold it for at least half a month!"
Hu Lian said: "In other words, there is a great chance of annihilation of the Japanese army on the Northern Front this time?"
"Yes! The chance is indeed great!" Zhang Lingfu nodded and then said, "But it's just a great chance. Before the final result appears, everything is still unknown!"
Qiu Weida, Hu Lian and Xia Ming nodded subconsciously.
"By the way." Hu Lian said, "Where did Zhong Yi go?"
Xia Ming said: "It seems like I went out to the street with Sun Liren."
"Going to the street?" Zhang Lingfu said, "He is quite calm."
...
At this moment, Zhong Yi's jeep was driving east along the main street.
The layout of Wuchang City is very unique. The Snake Mountain spreads across the city almost divides the entire Wuchang City into two. In contrast, the eastern city area is more lively and is also the essence of Wuchang!
Looking at the shops and shops lined up on the street, Zhong Yi said: "Fumin, I remember that when you played basketball last time, your rubber-soled shoes were worn out. It just happened to be time, so why not buy a new pair."
"No!" Sun Liren said, "just a small hole in the big toe can penetrate."
"What are you wearing?" Zhong Yi said, "After all, you are the leader of the group, and your monthly salary is several hundred yuan. Although the legal currency has depreciated seriously now, it is not so frugal that you can't afford a pair of shoes."
Speaking of this, Zhong Yi laughed again and said, "Brother Fumin, have you secretly kept an outside house?"
"Zi Ren, where do you want to go?" Sun Liren shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How can I still think about this now?"
After a pause, Sun Liren said again: "Since you ask, I will tell you the truth. I will use all my salary to buy medicine and food."
"Buy medicine and food?" Zhong Yi said in surprise, "Who are you for?"
Sun Liren sighed: "To the old brother of the Tax Police Corps."
"Tax Police Corps?" Zhong Yi said, "Hasn't the Tax Police Corps been incorporated by Chief Gu?"
"The only one who was incorporated was only part of it." Sun Liren shook his head and said hatefully, "Huang Jie is a man who is not authentic. He took away all the uninjured brothers. He left those who were injured or disabled but left them. The remaining 5,000 disabled soldiers were trapped in the Huangpi shelter station. No one was treating them, and there was not even a stuttering!"
Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "Does the Ministry of Military Affairs ignore it?"
"Military Ministry?" Sun Liren sneered, "Military politics is so poor that they can't even pay the food and salary of the front-line troops. Do you think they will still have extra money and food to the disabled soldiers of our Tax Police Corps?"
Zhong Yi was silent. The issue of food and wages has always been a flaw for the national army!
The country is so poor that it cannot even pay the food and salary!
The situation like the Tax Police Corps is actually not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon!
If you meet a capable troop leader, the wounded soldiers can be properly placed. If you encounter an incompetent or irresponsible troop leader, you can only laugh.
Sun Liren sighed and said, "What I can do is to buy medicine and food every month, but for more than 5,000 disabled brothers, this is simply a drop in the bucket!"
"Fumin, can you take me to see?" Zhong Yi sighed, "No matter what, I am from the Tax Police Corps!"
Zhong Yi was actually not in the Tax Police Corps for a long time. He spent his responsive years in the secret service camp. He was then sent to West Point Military Academy by Song Ziwen. After graduating from West Point Military Academy, he entered the General Corps headquarters as a combat staff officer. However, he stayed for less than two months and was kicked to the Kingsoft Security Team by Song Ziwen.
However, not spending time in the Tax Police Corps for a long time does not mean that he does not have much affection for the Tax Police Corps.
In fact, Zhong Yi, who inherited all the original Zhong Yi's memories, still has a lot of feelings for the Tax Police Corps.
Sun Liren said: "If you want to see it, of course I won't stop it, but I'm afraid that it will affect your mood after watching it."
"I'm not that fragile yet." Zhong Yi shook his head and immediately ordered Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, go to the big wharf!"
"Yes!" Xiaofan agreed, immediately called the direction, and the car turned onto Fuyuan Street and headed straight for the big wharf.
Xiaofan has not been in the army for a long time and is not very vigilant enough, so he did not notice that a car was following the jeep.
...
The jeep got on the boat from the big wharf, went ashore at the Hankou big wharf, and passed through the city. After leaving Tongji Gate and heading north, it was about fifty miles before reaching Huangpi Town.
Sun Liren was right. As soon as the jeep drove into Huangpi Town, Zhong Yi's mood immediately became extremely heavy.
Because Huangpi is simply a huge disabled barracks, I saw simple sheds built temporarily along both sides of the road. Some sheds were not even canvas, but they were covered with thatch!
In front of the shack and by the road, there were disabled soldiers with disheveled faces and dull eyes everywhere!
Sun Liren sighed and said, "The disabled soldiers who have been removed from the Songhu battlefield have recovered and returned to the team. The remaining severely injured or disabled people are basically here."
Zhong Yi said: "Have you ever counted how many people are there?"
