All the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment were gathered in the square. They were all present. At this moment, soldiers holding Type 19 guns stood straight in the square. Zhang Dingshan and the others were the same. At this moment, they were excited and wanted to shout out their excitement. So what if the 1st and 2nd Regiment were usually strong? The combat mission was still taken by our regiment. Hahaha, at this moment, the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment were all thinking this because they could finally hold their heads up high. The 3rd Regiment was the only one with more than 95% of the recruits among the 3 regiments. It was the only unit that had never participated in actual combat. The other units had more or less participated in bandit suppression battles.
However, today, the 2nd Division and 3rd Regiment were finally going to wash away the shame of being a new division. Moreover, it was a difficult mission to attack a county city. Other than sending out a division, which regiment had such an honor?
"Brothers, today in the command center, I fought with the two regiment commanders of the first and second regiments until our faces turned red. Don't embarrass me. The first and second regiments are watching us like tigers eyeing their prey. Now listen to my order, stand at attention!"
"Swoosh!"
"At ease!"
"Sarcasm!"
"Let's go!"
At this moment, the Third Regiment was on the road to the county town.
This was also what Lin Ling had requested from Lin Xin. Lin Xin hadn't expected that Lin Ling, who usually loved soldiers like his own children, would so resolutely agree to this somewhat absurd decision. But Lin Ling said," If the 3rd Regiment doesn't see any blood, they might face a crisis. As more and more recruits appear, the 3rd Regiment's combat power will only get lower and lower. In the end, they will be eliminated to the second-tier troops. So this is a chance, a chance for the 3rd Regiment to have its own glory.”After thinking for a while, Lin Xin still agreed. In the early stages, his army would only consist of a small number of elite soldiers, and would not explode in large numbers. This required the quality of the soldiers to be extremely high, and if they didn't go up, they would have to go down.
However, the 3rd Regiment had never had any combat missions, and they had never won a battle in their usual exercises. No matter how much they wanted to win, it could not change the fact that they had never won a battle. Moreover, their combat strength was far from the average level of the 2nd Regiment, let alone the 1st Regiment, which was far above the 2nd Regiment.
"Sigh, Ergou, why do you think our 3rd Regiment got the mission this time? To be honest, in terms of combat strength, we have no choice but to give in to the 2nd Regiment.”Zhang Shitou asked Zhang Dingshan doubtfully.
"Maybe we need to train our soldiers. Our three regiments have the worst quality of soldiers. They are all new recruits. If we fight well this time, most of the new recruits in the regiment will become veterans.”At this moment, Zhang Dingshan also saw through the regiment commander's plan and felt a little helpless. He was also a little impulsive. He wanted to take down the county city immediately. This way, he would have fewer dead brothers. Perhaps he would also be one of them. But so what? He was willing to use his life to forge the birth of an iron-blooded army. Looking at the bald burly man and the two brothers, Zhang Shu and Zhang Lin, he smiled. So what if he died? At least he had a brother to help him burn the joss paper. That was enough.
There were quite a few people who had such thoughts, so the march of the Third Regiment was surprisingly quiet. As for the orderly footsteps and the neigh of the pack horses.
However, they had never thought that a regular army could cause them such a huge loss.
No one had ever thought of it this way, because this was the belief of the three groups. Their only belief was that no matter how weak the opponent was, they could defeat them. When one was arrogant, a cliff would appear on their path, a cliff where one would die before the end. Even an old man had the strength to pull the trigger. When he pulled the trigger, what was your youth and strength in front of him?
The quiet march was filled with the cries of animals on both sides of the mountain road, as if they were walking on the road to hell. However, every soldier of the 3rd Regiment was very happy because after this battle, his regiment would truly enter the 2nd Division and enter the frontline of Little River Town.
This was the glory that belonged to their 3rd regiment, no one could take it away. Even if it was the 1st regiment, 2nd regiment, or even the 1st regiment, no one could take away their 3rd regiment. Even if many people died, after becoming the soldiers of Little River Town and Lin Shuai, so what if they died?
If he died, he would be a martyr. If he died, he would be able to enter the Cemetery of Martyrs and gain a lifetime of peace for his family and future generations.
This was a very peculiar troop, the most peculiar troop under Lin Xin's command. They were clearly only attacking a troop of warlords with low combat strength, but the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment all had the will to die. However, if one understood the experiences of this troop, they wouldn't have such thoughts. This was a troop that placed honor above everything else, and their obsession with honor had reached a point where it was beyond redemption. Even if they had to exchange their lives for it, what was wrong with that?
Perhaps it was due to Lin Xin's emphasis on the military's ideology that this troop had developed such an ideology in the face of adversity, but this was what Lin Xin wanted to see. He couldn't deny that he didn't want the soldiers to suffer heavy casualties, and didn't want the supplies given to the soldiers to make it extremely difficult for them to participate in a hand-to-hand battle. However, he admired this kind of ideology, because no matter how weak the army was in the early stages, if they were given some time to temper themselves, they would definitely be invincible.
