Chapter 36 A group of forgotten disabled veterans!
Technical arms are scarcer than Cun Yunsheng imagined. Except for Krupp, a senior talent, the rest are artillerymen.
But they have only fired 60mm mortars, and they are not the main shooters, but only auxiliary.
Even so, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but feel excited.
No matter what, the artillery company of his own regiment has been settled.
In addition, Stationmaster Wang also brought back hundreds of defeated soldiers, including various miscellaneous troops, mainly local garrison regiments.
Not only that, the other party also revealed a piece of news.
"The remaining artillery of the Madang Fortress?"
"Yes, these people are currently in Shancheng, and they are not having an easy time."
Stationmaster Wang didn't tell the reason, but Cun Yunsheng naturally guessed it.
It was because of the loss of Ma'an Fortress that caused a huge impact.
These remaining artillerymen were very lucky not to be shot on the spot.
"Do you think I have heavy artillery like coastal defense guns?" Although Cun Yunsheng was tempted, he still looked very disdainful.
Stationmaster Wang was not at all surprised by Cun Yunsheng's performance. If these people had a way out, they would not ask him to find out.
"They don't necessarily want coastal defense guns, other guns will do." Stationmaster Wang explained quickly.
Now Cun Yunsheng was even more confused. What each army lacked most now was artillery, and those of them who had special skills had no lack of future at all.
"Old Wang, tell me the truth, what's wrong with these people?"
"With their abilities, other troops would be eager to recruit them. Why would they want to come to me?"
Upon hearing this, Stationmaster Wang began to stammer, and finally spoke through gritted teeth.
"Well, they're a little disabled."
"?????"
Not only Cun Yunsheng was confused, but Meng Fanle next to him was also dumbfounded. You really know how to talk.
A bunch of disabled people thrown here?
It turns out that they have treated our Sichuan Army as a garbage collection station.
Okay, they are indeed a bunch of scum, but at least, none of them are missing any limbs.
"Don't the people in the mountain city care about them?" After a long silence, Cun Yunsheng asked in a hoarse voice.
"In this world, who cares about a group of disabled people? If they didn't rely on modifying some small parts for others, they would have starved to death long ago." Stationmaster Wang obviously understood the situation and said in an indignant tone.
After hearing this, more people remained silent.
Not to mention a group of disabled people, isn't it true that no one cares about these defeated soldiers?
Oh?
Nor is it!
When cannon fodder is needed, they are remembered again.
For example, Yu Xiaoqing, isn’t he just here to be cannon fodder?
Still recruiting soldiers without giving anything.
Cun Yunsheng sighed lightly and then thought about how to deal with these veterans.
"Commander, why don't we just forget it? We are going to cross the river to fight the Japanese later. Bringing them with us will affect our marching speed." Meng Fan glared at Stationmaster Wang unkindly, and then advised.
He knew that his leader, although he was a sharp-tongued man and never gave in, was actually a kind-hearted person.
He was afraid that the other party would not be able to bear it and bring in a bunch of burdens.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and looked at Stationmaster Wang.
“What is their level?”
"They are all a group of veterans who have experienced many battles and are familiar with artillery of various calibers. They may not be as powerful as Krupp, but they are not bad either." Stationmaster Wang hurriedly explained, but when he looked at Krupp, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Tsk, Stationmaster Wang, how much money did you receive from them? Why are you helping them so hard?" Meng Fanle started to sneer again.
I originally thought that Station Master Wang would be embarrassed, but who knew that he would get anxious.
"I swear, if I take a dollar from them, I will be struck by lightning and die miserably."
Seeing the other party swear such a vicious oath, Cun Yunsheng became a little curious.
"Well, to be honest, one of them is my cousin. I felt sorry for him and wanted to find him a job. It just so happened that Commander Cun needed artillerymen."
The rest of the words were not said, but everyone present was smart and could naturally understand what he meant. "Fuck you, what do you think our group is? A shelter?" Meng Fanle cursed excitedly.
"Shut up and talk less." Cun Yunsheng glared, then looked at Stationmaster Wang and said again.
"Let them all come. I'm planning to form a supplementary battalion and let them be responsible for training the new recruits. As for the military pay, they will be paid according to the pre-war amount."
Cun Yunsheng still has great respect for these veterans.
After all, they are also fighting for the country. Although they cannot fight on the front line now, they can still make use of their remaining energy.
It is okay to be responsible for explaining artillery knowledge to the recruits.
Hearing this, Meng Fanle looked at the other party with an incredible look.
Stationmaster Wang was overjoyed and kept thanking him.
After the other party left, Meng Fanle asked in a complicated tone.
"Commander, even if you have a kind heart, you shouldn't do this. What use are these old soldiers with missing arms and legs? It's a waste of military pay."
"Even if we recruit a few more cannon fodder, they will be more useful than these. At least they can withstand two artillery shells on the battlefield."
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party and said angrily.
"If a country doesn't respect its veterans, then they are not far from defeat."
The thought-provoking words made Meng Fan at a loss for what to say for a moment.
Respect veterans?
whispering sound!
As for those bastards in Shancheng, who remembers them?
Meng Fanle wanted to say something but was interrupted by Cun Yunsheng.
"Okay, the nation will not forget us."
"Come on, let's go and check out the supplies and equipment." Cun Yunsheng knew that these cannon fodders had been forgotten for a long time, and he felt somewhat resentful.
But when faced with the survival of the country, they will still sacrifice their lives without hesitation.
What Cun Yunsheng has to do is to appease their resentment.
"As long as I am alive, if you get injured or disabled, I will support you for life."
This sentence was very light, but it was very heavy. For a moment, the words Meng Fan wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.
Looking at Cun Yunsheng in front of him, Meng Fan took a deep breath, regained his composure and hurried to catch up.
"Damn it, I am moved by you again."
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng chuckled and said nothing.
When he arrived at the door of the shelter and looked at the supplies in front of him, Cun Yunsheng was so shocked that he was speechless.
More than 60 rifles, more than bullets, eight mm mortars, and more than artillery shells.
Ten ZB-26 light machine guns and some bullets.
There were hundreds of boxes of grenades and more than 20,000 dollars.
The rest of the food and cloth took up five carriages.
Not only that, he also sent a group of talents he urgently needed.
There are three medical workers, all of whom are capable of providing first aid on the battlefield.
Two signalmen, proficient in sending and receiving telegrams.
For a moment, Cun Yunsheng was surrounded by all kinds of happiness.
Part of this was a great gift from my grandfather.
"Grandfather sold all the family property?" Cun Yunsheng looked at the letter in his hand in disbelief.
The Cun family was also a prominent family in Tengchong, with countless properties. Unexpectedly, his grandfather sold even the family property in order to support him in the war of resistance.
This moved him deeply, and he secretly vowed to do his best to kill the Japanese and live up to his grandfather's expectations.
I'm very sorry for being late. I had something to do yesterday, so I didn't save any drafts. I got up at 5:30 in the morning to write it, and will update it first and revise it later.
