Li Tiezhu may have been tired of scolding. Seeing the soldiers in rags and hungry and cold, he finally waved his hands weakly: "Just stay here and be honest."
After speaking, he greeted the two soldiers to leave, and was going to find something to eat. People are iron rice and steel. If you don’t eat a meal, you will be hungry. Strength, you can't march and fight, you can only find it yourself.
However, he led people around to find no food. The supply point where they shared dry buns last night was blown up by an aerial bomb thrown by a Devil plane. People died and the stored food was gone.
The current logistical support system of the National Revolutionary Army is not perfect. In addition, nearly 70 troops are gathered on this battlefield. It is common for Li Tiezhu to accept the reality of starvation.

Yang Ling and the others hadn't finished their meal when an officer wearing a brand new rank of major rushed over. ?? ??
The major officer pointed to the remnants of the soldiers who were resting nearby and ordered: "All of you gather here! Hurry up!"
Li Tiezhu, who was hungry, and Yang Ling, who was full of food and drink, and the four or five hundred retreated remnants around them all stood up, packed up their things, and quickly gathered together.
"Listen! No matter which unit you originally belonged to, now you will all be reorganized into the supplementary regiment of the [-]th Division and become soldiers of our supplementary regiment. I am Liu Ming, the deputy commander."
As soon as Deputy Commander Liu's words fell, the remnants gathered were all whispering to each other. They were all from different combat units, and now they were being stewed like this, and it was hard for them to accept it for a while.
"Okay, let's change nests again." Old Wangtou said to himself and teased.
He originally belonged to the [-]th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, but he was exhausted in the Yunzaobang Regiment, and he temporarily made up for the Fourth Tax Police Regiment. After the fourth regiment was exhausted, he fought with the Gui Army. Became a member of the supplementary regiment of the [-]th Division, and changed several units in a short period of time.
Yang Ling and the platoon leader Wu Jiang didn't care, anyway, their troops came and went, and they didn't know how much they changed. The soldiers who went to the front line survived for only one day. The troops continue to fight, and they will be reimbursed at some point, and the future is gloomy.
"All those who have opinions will be swallowed by me. No one will treat you as dumb. Now all the platoon leaders who are still alive are standing at the front!"
Although Liu Ming, deputy head of the regiment, wore glasses and looked at the gentle and unruly look, he possessed the decisiveness and sharpness unique to soldiers.
On this bloody battlefield, no matter how elegant and refined a person is, he will be forced to become a beast if he sees too many deaths, because the war is too cruel.
Yang Ling and Wu Jiang, whose head was wrapped in gauze, looked at each other, squeezed through the crowd and walked to the front. Li Tiezhu, the platoon leader of the Gui Army, also stood beside Yang Ling. Just smile and don't speak.
Among the 500 people, there were not many company and platoon leaders alive. In total, there were only two company commanders and four platoon leaders. The rest of the more senior officers died on the battlefield.
Seeing six scattered people stand up, the deputy commander Liu Ming frowned, and asked loudly to the remnants of the huddled soldiers: "All officers above the platoon leader, come to the front. Anyone else?"
Liu Ming, the deputy team leader, asked several times in a row, but no one stood up again, so he had to say: "All the squad leaders also let me stand in front."
"Is the cooking squad leader okay?" Old Wang asked with a loud voice.
Deputy Head Liu scolded: "Why are you talking so much nonsense, why are your ears screaming, come to the front quickly!"
The old Wangtou smiled, squeezed through the crowd with a few canvas bags on his shoulders, and stood beside Yang Ling. The old Wangtou straightened his chest, feeling that he was also an officer for the first time.
As officers above the rank of squad leader all stood in front, the officer team suddenly expanded a lot. There were more than 20 people, but compared to the four or five hundred remnants, it was still a little small, but Liu Ming didn't bother to take care of it.
Liu Ming was originally a deputy battalion commander, but the commander was killed. He was promoted two ranks in a row and became the deputy regiment. Now the head of their supplementary regiment is still lying on the hospital bed. In fact, he is the temporary commander of the supplementary regiment. .
There were only two company commanders, Yang Ling and a burly man. Looking at their bloodstained appearance, they should be good at fighting, Yang Ling judged.
"What's your name?" Deputy head Liu asked the strong company commander.
"Report sir! Qin Feng!"
"Damn, you can't keep your voice down, it's almost deafening me." Liu Ming covered his ears and scolded, and Qin Feng's company commander scratched his head in embarrassment, and the remnant soldiers below were already laughing One piece, the atmosphere eased.
Deputy head Liu bowed his hands and interrupted the laughter of the disabled soldiers: "Okay, you big man will be the first company commander."
"Yes!"
"Believe it if I kick you so loud again!" Deputy head Liu heard buzzing in his ears, and cursed loudly, followed by another burst of laughter.
Deputy head Liu cursed and turned his gaze to Yang Ling who was standing upright. Although Yang Ling's old military uniform was dirty and smelled bad, he looked extraordinarily upright and energetic in Yang Ling's body. Liu Ming nodded in satisfaction. head.
"What's your name?"
"Report sir! My name is Yang Ling!"
Hearing Yang Ling's resounding answer in a neither humble nor overbearing voice, Liu Ming patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, you are the second company commander of our supplementary regiment!"
"Yes!" Yang Ling straightened his legs and saluted a military salute.
Li Tiezhu stood beside Yang Ling, imitating Yang Ling's appearance and standing up straight, but he found that he couldn't compare to Yang Ling, so he finally gave up helplessly.
"Platoon leader Li Tiezhu, I have met the officer!" Before Liu Ming could speak, Li Tiezhu saluted and reported to the house.
"Okay, you're pretty strong, you're the commander of the third company—"
Third company commander! ?Before Li Tiezhu could react, he thought he heard it wrong, and after a few seconds, he shouted excitedly: "Thank you, sir, for cultivating!"
"Damn it, I said it in a lower voice." As soon as Li Tiezhu shouted excitedly, he was kicked somersault by regiment deputy Liu Ming. Although his face was covered in mud, his heart felt like honey.
"Quietly, you are promising—" the old Wangtou gloated from the side, and he still had feelings for Li Tiezhu in his heart. After all, he was scolded by Li Tiezhu as a deserter, and he felt uncomfortable.
Li Tiezhu responded with a cold snort, and was too lazy to talk to Old Wang.
The battle on the Songhu battlefield was fierce. Half of a division would be killed in less than half a day. Officers at all levels suffered heavy casualties. In order to ensure the command of the battle, the third war zone ordered all ministries to promote officers from the front line, and report to the police after the battle was over.
Yang Ling was only a platoon leader at the beginning, but after a few battles he has become a company commander. His superior officers were either killed or seriously injured and sent to the rear.
He has always been a company commander in name only, because the people under him have never been fully staffed, and because of the constant casualties, the soldiers behind cannot be replenished, and he has always been a bare commander.
This time, although Liu Ming, deputy regiment deputy, appointed him as the second company commander and assigned No. 150 people under his command, which was regarded as a strengthened company, but Yang Ling was not happy at all, because the responsibilities on his shoulders were even heavier, and even more so. What worries him are weapons, ammunition and food.
The head of the cooking squad, Lao Wangtou, also became the platoon leader and was assigned to Yang Ling. The original platoon leader Wu Jiang was appointed as the commander of the fourth company. .
After the temporary reorganization was completed, the newly formed supplementary regiment was dragged by the regiment deputy Liu Ming to Jiangqiao Town near the Suzhou Creek, and was responsible for evacuating the people who had not yet evacuated in that area. As it got lower and lower, the scope of the spread became wider and wider, and all the people westward along the Suzhou Creek had to be evacuated, and the task was onerous.

The Jiangqiao town with blue bricks, gray tiles and white walls is hidden by a bamboo forest. The bamboo forest is still full of greenery in this late autumn. Compared with the withered yellow reeds and brown dead branches and leaves around it, it is like a green emerald inlaid in it. The north bank of Suzhou River is full of vitality.
The temporary supplementary regiment went straight to Jiangqiao Town along the dirt path. The team of hundreds of people stretched sparsely. Embarrassed and pitiful.
In the direction behind them, the sound of rumbling artillery continued, and a huge mushroom cloud rose up from time to time. It was clearly visible that the devil troops had already attacked the outskirts of Dachang Town, and the defenders were fighting hard.
Liu Ming, deputy deputy of the Supplementary Tuantuan, was panting heavily. The hot breath from his mouth made his eyes foggy and blurred. He had to stop and wiped his clothes, and then he regained his clarity. .
He turned his head to look at the long and procrastinating queue, and raised his voice to urge: "Hurry up, damn it! You've been dawdling and haven't eaten!"
"Lieutenant deputy, I ran out of food yesterday, where did I get it..." The tired and tired soldier replied feebly, his steps were swaying, as if he might fall down at any time.
The Songhu battlefield has gathered 70 Chinese defenders, facing huge logistical pressure. Even the front-line combat troops can only guarantee food, not necessarily enough to eat, let alone those who have been defeated and withdrawn. Many people have not had rice grains on their teeth for a long time.
Seeing the weak team, Liu Ming yelled at Jiangqiao Town, who was vaguely silhouetted in front of him: "You all work harder, there must be something to eat in the town ahead! First come, first served!"
