After this chapter, he would have to face Wang Jingguo!
............................
"Master, something bad has happened! The Pingyuan Army has already broken through our front line and is currently engaged in a fierce battle with our front line!”
A communications staff officer ran into Lu Yinglin's command center with rapid breathing.
"What did you say? The Pingyuan Army broke through our frontline?”
Before Lu Yinglin could say anything, Li Mingding grabbed the staff officer's collar and said,"
"Yes, I am! When the heavy artillery of the Pingyuan Army fired at our army, their infantry had already closed in on our position by a hundred meters.
When the bombardment ended, they charged at our army before we could react!”
The communications staff officer raised his hand as he spoke.
This was a telegram from the front line.
After Li Mingding finished reading the message, he handed it to Lu Yinglin helplessly.
"As expected!"
After Lu Yinglin finished reading the message, his face was filled with exhaustion.
He sat on the chair in frustration, thinking about something.
"Master! What should we do next?"
Li Mingding looked at Lu Yinglin and asked, unable to bear it.
Although this was very unbearable, he knew that now was not the time for Lu Yinglin to be in a daze.
The fate of the remaining few thousand soldiers of the 44th Division was in Lu Yinglin's hands.
"What should we do? There's nothing we can do!"
Lu Yinglin looked helpless.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Pingyuan Army had been feigning an attack.
That was why they were able to hold on. Now, the others were serious.
What could you do if the heavy artillery fired at you and broke through your position before you could react?
"Master!"
"Alright! Stop talking! Tell our brothers to put down their weapons! Don't waste your life for nothing. Our army is no longer their match.”
Lu Yinglin understood that he wanted to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
They could only rely on their positions.
But now that their position had been broken, and they did not have the advantage in numbers, it was impossible to chase them out of the position.
Of the four infantry battalions he had left, two were in Duan Castle Village and two were here.
Then, he sent the pistol battalion here, as well as some soldiers with supplies.
They were all sent here.
Even so, they did not have the advantage in numbers.
An army of twenty thousand people was not to be trifled with.
Even though the others didn't come all at once because of the terrain, it didn't mean that they wouldn't come later.
.......................................
In Han Ling's temporary command center.
"Marshal! The frontline troops sent a telegram saying that Lu Yinglin's 44th Division had surrendered.”
Huang Kelin handed a telegram to Han Ling.
"Surrender?"
Han Ling raised his eyebrows and began reading the message.
Sure enough, it was the telegram from the Second Regiment.
It said that Lu Yinglin had surrendered.
"Very good! Disarm all their troops. Also, bring Lu Yinglin and all the other members of the division headquarters down!”
Since they had won, what else was there to say?
"Yes, sir!"
.......................
"44th Division Commander Lu Yinglin greets Commander Han!”
Lu Yinglin stood in front of Han Ling and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Haha! You actually blocked me here for a day and a half!”
Han Ling looked at Lu Yinglin in front of him and could not help but chuckle.
Lu Yinglin, who was already thirty-six years old, was currently at the most energetic period of his life.
He had a stern face, and he looked very much like a soldier.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Lu Yinglin replied with two words.
"How are their personnel and equipment?”
Han Ling did not say anything else. He turned around and looked at Zheng Daxing, who was escorting Lu Yinglin over.
"Marshal! They were currently receiving, including the 36 75mm field cannons of their Field Cannon Regiment!”
"Oh? A 75mm cannon? How many cannon regiments are there?"
This time, Han Ling revealed an interested expression.
"It's still in the process of receiving. I'm not sure yet!”
Zheng Daxing really didn't know. They had just received it and hadn't even counted these things yet.
Han Ling did not ask Zheng Daxing any more questions. Instead, he turned his gaze to Lu Yinglin.
The meaning was clear. In the infantry regiment, Lu Yinglin might not know the exact amount of ammunition.
However, he should know how many artillery regiments there were.
"There are only five cannonballs!"
Lu Yinglin understood what Han Ling meant.
Although he didn't want to say it, he understood that it wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to say it or not.
A captive should have the awareness of a captive.
"Five cardinal numbers?"
Han Ling was stunned. He did not expect that there were only so few shells.
Although the number of artillery shells in each country was different due to the caliber of the artillery and other reasons.
However, he also knew that no matter how surprised he was, it wouldn't be a situation where there was a difference of a few hundred.
Five bases was indeed not much.
"Zheng Daxing, I have a mission for you. Send a company of soldiers to gather their artillery for me.
Tell them that if they are willing to join us, I can spare their lives. In addition, there were white steamed buns and canned pork to eat every day!”
Han Ling planned to take over this artillery unit.
It was indeed a waste to keep the thirty-six field cannons in the warehouse at the back!
Instead of wasting it, it was better to make use of it.
He also took over the artillery. They would still be useful when fighting the reinforcements of the Jinsui Army.
"Yes, sir!"
Zheng Daxing did not have any objections.
However, they were still a little surprised that Han Ling could give them such treatment.
Currently, the food of the Pingyuan Army was mainly canned pork.
As for the noodles!
There was no time for war now.
Canned pork was convenient!
As for where the canned pork came from, it was naturally synthesized.
Sending a meal of resources in would result in countless tons of canned pork. It was so cheap!
"Messenger, go and pass a message to the second regiment commander Huang Ke. Tell his second regiment to immediately escort these captives to Shenchi County!
In addition, he ordered the 3rd, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th regiments to immediately head south to Yuanping. The 12th regiment was responsible for guarding all the captives.
If anyone dared to act rashly, they would be killed immediately!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Marshal Han, they have surrendered! You…"
Lu Yinglin's expression changed when he saw Han Ling say that in front of them.
"Haha! Commander Lu, I think you're a talent. What do you think? Are you interested in working with me?"
Han Ling didn't answer him. Instead, he turned around and looked at him.
"I'm sorry! Zun Ruifeng couldn't agree. Rui Feng had been groomed by Officer Yan! How could he betray his old master!”
Lu Yinglin said very straightforwardly and decisively.
However, Han Ling was not angry. Instead, he said with a serious expression,"You're wrong! You are a soldier of China, and you should not be loyal to one person, but to this country!
Ever since China was blasted open by the British's cannons 90 years ago, we have been constantly bullied.
"Now, a small island country can continuously bully us.
As soldiers of China, our ideals are not to be loyal to one person, but to be loyal to this country. To fight for the rise of China!
Right now, China was filled with warlords.
The people were in dire straits. Taxes are getting higher and higher year after year.
The warlords were constantly expanding their armies for their own benefit, wasting the country's strength.
Shouldn't we work hard at this time to realize the revival of China?
You should be able to understand our Pingyuan Army just from the name. Our Pingyuan Army exists to eliminate the warlords of Huaxia.
We are also working hard to realize the revival of China.
Although we haven't been established for long, look at Gui Sui under the Pingyuan Army.
Although it had only been a short time, the people had not gone hungry.
"As a soldier of our generation, you should join our ranks, not be loyal to a certain person and risk your life for a certain person's personal gain! Your life belongs to the country now!”
Han Ling was ready to show his righteousness.
To be honest, if Han Ling's words were in the future...
He would definitely be spat at and replied,"This bro used this move when I was three!”
However, in this era, those who had not experienced this era would not understand the pain in the hearts of the Chinese.
This was also the reason why countless Chinese warriors would sacrifice themselves in the Great Wall War a year later and the full-scale war a few years later.
Think about the Battle of Lusong in history. Hundreds of thousands of Sichuan Osmanthus children were holding inferior weapons and wearing straw sandals. They charged at the Japanese's cannons.
How heroic was this? At the same time, how touching were their deeds?
Why would they do that? Were they idiots? Didn't they know that their weapons were inferior? Going up like this would be courting death.
No! They all knew!
The reason why they did this was to protect the integrity of their motherland.
It was for the rise of the motherland and for the mother of China behind her.
Therefore, this move was very useful for people of this era.
This was also the reason why Han Ling said such words.
But to be honest, Han Ling was also a patriotic person. He was a nationalistic youth in the 21st century.
Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to travel back to 1930? Wasn't it all for the rise of Huaxia?
..................
"Marshal Han! Can you give me a day to consider?”
Lu Yinglin wavered. The ideals in his heart wavered.
Thinking about what China was going through, he felt that he was working in the wrong direction.
"Yes! Yes! I'll give you three days to consider! Give me an answer in three days! Similarly, I'll give you three days! I'll come and find you three days later!"
Han Ling looked at the group of division members behind Lu Yinglin and said.
For these people to be able to become part of the elite infantry division of the Jinsui Army, their abilities were unquestionable.
Perhaps some of the no-name soldiers in the Jinsui Army were fishing in troubled waters.
However, there was definitely none among the elite troops. Yan Baichuan's ability was not that bad.
