Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

82 Reorganized 36th Brigade

With such a small number of people and after such a devastating defeat, there are still about 800 people left, which is already pretty good.

At this time, the soldiers of the Provisional 36th Brigade had also assembled.

Ye Qingshan looked at this group of slack soldiers, many of whom didn't even have guns in their hands.

Needless to say, most likely the gun was lost while escaping.

Ye Qingshan looked unhappy, and the chief of staff Ma Xiao next to him was also a little embarrassed.

But soon, Ye Qingshan felt relieved.

This is a good thing. There are not too many people left in the Provisional 36th Brigade, so there won’t be too many hills.

This will make it easier for Ye Qingshan to compile it better according to his own design later.

Blank paper is good for painting.

This time, Ye Qingshan brought more than 700 veterans from the field hospital alone.

There are also more than a hundred elite veterans including Sun Mingxu and Zhou Xinghai.

In this way, the number of veterans brought by Ye Qingshan has exceeded the existing number of soldiers in the Provisional 36th Brigade.

"Chief of Staff Ma, assign all these 800 people to the logistics regiment."

Ye Qingshan said to the chief of staff.

Ye Qingshan knew very well that these soldiers of the Temporary 36th Brigade could not be used for the time being.

It is simply wishful thinking to expect them to continue fighting.

How can they fight if they have lost even their weapons?

It should be possible to just assign them to the logistics department and let them be responsible for logistics work.

"Lao Zhou, bring back the more than 100 old brothers we brought back, and the more than 700 soldiers I brought back from the field hospital.

We will reorganize it into a regiment, with you as the regiment commander and Wang Dabao as the battalion commander."

Ye Qingshan turned around again and said to Zhou Xinghai, who still had his arm in a sling.

"Okay, haha.

I am also the head of the group."

Zhou Xinghai was quite happy.

“Don’t give me a silly smile.

I'll give you two days to make these 800 people combat-ready as soon as possible.

Next, there will be more intense battles waiting for you."

Ye Qingshan gave Zhou Xinghai a shot of prevention to prevent this guy from letting his guard down.

"Yes, don't worry, Commander.

I will reorganize them as soon as possible, let them get to know each other, and form combat effectiveness."

“That’s right, Commander, we don’t have many weapons and ammunition here.

How can we fight a war like this?"

Zhou Xinghai said with a bitter face.

"Don't worry about these. I will find a way to get weapons and ammunition."

Ye Qingshan said soothingly.

"Yes."

However, although Ye Qingshan said this, he was actually worried in his heart.

His superiors in terms of weapons and ammunition were not prepared to support him.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of national troops were shouting about the shortage of ammunition.

There were no extra weapons and ammunition supplies at the command center.

Even if there are any, they will be provided in limited quantities to the main forces. After all, Ye Qingshan’s Provisional 36th Brigade is a ragtag force.

It is not his turn to provide weapons and ammunition.

However, only half a day later, Ye Qingshan received a batch of weapons and ammunition.

"Brigade Commander Ye, these five hundred guns and ten boxes of grenades.

My teacher asked me to send it to you.

Please check it."

A staff officer from the 88th Division headquarters said to Ye Qingshan with a smile.

"Thank you, it has to be my old boss!"

Ye Qingshan said with emotion with a smile.

Then, let Zhou Xinghai and others go over to inspect the guns.

"The division commander said that since you came from our 88th Division, we must support you.

You made our 88th Division proud before,

Now, whenever anyone mentions Colonel Ye or the 88th Division, they will give them a thumbs up.

It's nothing to support with just this little bit of weapons and ammunition."

The staff officer of the 88th Division was also very polite towards Ye Qingshan.

"Haha, that's fine.

Go back and thank the teacher for me."

Just after the first batch of weapons and ammunition was delivered by Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division.

Later, other troops continued to deliver some weapons and ammunition to Ye Qingshan.

Although there were not many of them, it was obvious that they came here to make friends with Ye Qingshan.

Faced with such a good thing, Ye Qingshan naturally would not refuse it.

"My goodness, our brigade commander is really famous now.

There is such a good thing.

After half a day, the weapons and ammunition we received were enough to equip an entire regiment.

Unfortunately, no one sent any guns.

They were all rifles and grenades."

Zhou Xinghai checked the weapons and ammunition that were delivered, and said to Wang Dabing and others beside him with a smile.

"Captain, you are getting more and more arrogant.

No one has sent any guns yet.

You can imagine that when the artillery is sent to that unit, it will be treated as a treasure.

Who would be willing to give it away?

Just these rifles and grenades are only given to us because of our brigade commander's face.

If it were any other unit, there would be no way they would be treated this way."

Wang Dabing rolled his eyes at Zhou Xinghai and spoke without any scruples.

"Hey, I say you are so bold.

Who are you bullying? I am your superior now.

Be careful or I will make things difficult for you. On the battlefield, I will find you a mission that will send you to your death."

"Tsk, I'm afraid of you.

Be careful or I'll shoot you in the back."

"Stop talking nonsense, both of you. Just hand out the weapons."

Ye Qingshan came back and interrupted their quarrel.

"Brigade Commander, the radio station has contacted the company commander and his team last week."

At this time, the young martial artist ran out and shouted to Ye Qingshan.

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan immediately followed Xiao Wusheng to the telegraph room.

It turned out that after Ye Qingshan arrived at the Provisional 36th Brigade, he used the radio station here to try to contact Zhou Pingkou and others.

However, the other party's radio station has been silent.

Ye Qingshan estimated that the battle at the Siping warehouse should have already started by now.

Unfortunately, Ye Qingshan was unable to participate.

Now, we have finally contacted them.

"Send a telegram and ask them what the situation is like over there."

Ye Qingshan gave orders to the radio operator.

Drop drop!

As the radio transmission sounded, Ye Qingshan received a reply from Zhou Pingkou soon.

The telegram contained greetings to Ye Qingshan from the soldiers of the third battalion.

Then, he said that they were already stationed at the Sihang Warehouse and had repelled an attack by the Japanese.

Because this place is close to the French Concession, the Japanese did not dare to use heavy weapons.

This made their battle go very smoothly.

"That's good. Tell Zhou Pingkou to keep in touch with me via radio at any time."

Ye Qingshan gave Zhou Pingkou some final instructions.

Ye Qingshan knew that their team would most likely be forced by their superiors to retreat to the French Concession and surrender.

By then, the fate of Zhou Pingkou and others will most likely be similar to that of the isolated army camp in history.

This is definitely not what Ye Qingshan wants to see.

Therefore, Ye Qingshan contacted Zhou Pingkou and tried to change the fate of the Third Battalion.

After Ye Qingshan left, Zhou Pingkou was appointed acting battalion commander of the third battalion.

Even so, Xie Jinyuan, as the deputy regiment commander, was also with the Third Battalion.

However, Zhou Pingkou still has a say.

If the future direction is still the Kuomintang command, the Third Battalion will surrender.

At that time, Ye Qingshan will try to persuade Zhou Pingkou to lead his men to break out and meet him.
