War of Resistance

Chapter 304 Qualitative

Pang Bingxun also knew that what Li Zongren said was the truth, so he also assured: "Mr. De Lin, please rest assured, a humble position has its own propriety."

Li Zongren knew very well that Pang Bingxun was not easy to control. You can know from his civil war behavior before the Anti-Japanese War-he was famous for avoiding the most important and saving his strength.

If not, from the Zhifeng War to the later Central Plains War, Pang Bingxun's troops fought with more soldiers and better equipment.On the other hand, the other troops suffered heavy casualties, and some were even directly destroyed in the smoke of civil war.

"I don't know why the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs wants to reduce the number of soldiers in your department. Is it because of the lack of salary?" Li Zongren asked patiently.

Pang Bingxun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. De Lin is too underestimating his post. It is absolutely impossible for me, Pang Bingxun, to drink soldiers' blood and eat empty salary. The secret service regiment was merged and organized into four regiments, but the five regiments of our department are fully staffed. Where do I want to merge this regiment? If it can’t be merged, it will have to be dismissed. Now it is time to use troops At that time, all the troops were expanding, but it seems that it is not the original intention of the high command to disband my troops?"

After listening, Li Zongren sighed softly and said: "Maybe the central government doesn't understand the situation of your army! Brother Chen, you have been in the army for a long time. In terms of seniority, you are the big brother and I am the younger brother. I should not command you. However, in this war of resistance, I was listed as the commander-in-chief, and I only held a relatively important position. So in terms of business, I am the commander-in-chief; in terms of personal relationship, we are brothers and comrades , there should be no distinction between upper and lower."

Then, Li Zongren continued: "We have been in the civil war for more than 20 years. Although the situation is pressing, we are all forced to spin in this whirlpool, but looking back on that kind of life, it is too meaningless. Black and white are unclear, and right and wrong are irrelevant. , Although defeat is not shameful, victory is not enough. Today, as people wish, let us have a chance to resist Japan in this lifetime.

In the future, if you die on the battlefield for the country and the nation, you can truly die well.You and I are both over 50 and [-] years old, and death is worthwhile. Only in this way can we be worthy of being a soldier and spend our whole life. "

After hearing Li Zongren's heart-to-heart words, Pang Bingxun was very moved and said immediately: "Sir, Dulwich is double, we are subordinates, we can serve the country under the command, the sun is above, and we will die! Sir, please Don't worry, I will never save my strength this time, and I will fight the enemy to the end."

"Well, very good. I am also very happy to hear Brother Chen's words. I will help you solve your problem!" Li Zongren patted Pang Bingxun on the shoulder and said.

……

While Li Zongren was trying to solve and subdue the problems and morale of the Third Army, which was born in the Northwest Army, Zhang Tianhai's troubles had just begun.

In order to give this unknown rioting officer a little color, Huo Qiming even mobilized half of the city defense forces.Oh, by the way, this half of the city defense force is the three companies that are not full.

Jiashan County is located in a dangerous location, on the Southwest Road of Xuzhou, which is today's Mingguang City.

Because it is close to Xuzhou, an important military town, and AH is also one of the important sources of troops for the Nanjing National Government, the National Government still pays more attention to the security of AH, and there are almost no bandit mountain kings in AH. Strongmen, even if there were, would have been wiped out long ago.

Because of the safety of the territory, and the fact that Jiashan County is a small county, no bigwigs would notice, so Huo Qiming began to eat empty wages openly and aboveboard.

According to the organization during the war, the militia in Jiashan County should be a three-battalion regiment, and it should be fully staffed, and then wait for the urgent call from above.

The militia in Jiashan County has three battalions, but in fact, each battalion has only two companies, and each battalion has at least one company's salary, plus the remaining two companies are not full of members?That's more.

But in Huo Qiming's opinion, these small problems are nothing. If the Chief of the Fifth War Zone wants to transfer his militia, it will be urgent to replenish it at that time. Anyway, the militia is poorly equipped and weak in combat power. That is also an established fact. .

When Huo Qiming brought the three companies of the militia over aggressively, he found that something was wrong. These policemen who should have bowed to him, but nodded to the chief of another army. There seems to be a little bit of flattery on his face? !

Those who can become a city defense commander are not stupid. What's more, most people who hold this position are not graduates from serious military academies. Whether they are officers who graduated from the Northeast Lecture Hall or Baoding Military Academy, they have long been drawn into the field The troops went.

Seeing this situation, Huo Qiming suddenly realized that he might have encountered a tough problem.

Countless years passed in Huo Qiming's head, he was weighing the gains and losses, would it be worth it if he offended this person?

Huo Qiming's ability to become a city defense commander like Huo Qiming can't be obtained only by relying on bravery. To put it bluntly, a shrewd mind and quick response ability are indispensable.

He has been in the army for more than [-] years, and his past experience has told Huo Qiming that the opponent is not a good opponent—let's not talk about people, just look at the opponent's troops. The weapons are unambiguous, all Japanese weapons, and the murderous look in the eyes are not comparable to those of ordinary militias.

This is an elite team, or an elite division that was killed out of the encirclement of the Japanese army!
If it weren't for the many victories in the battle with the Japanese army, it would be impossible for them to replace the weapons in their hands with full-time weapons!

Careful observation made Huo Qiming, an old fox, decide in an instant that he must speak well and not lose his official position—since the other party dared to be so bold, and he was an elite unit of the Central Army, perhaps Are you not afraid of things?

The end of the egg hitting the rock is obvious. If the egg is broken, the rock will still be there. This kind of loss-making business cannot be done.

Forbearance a moment, calm, take a step back, a brighter future.

Bear with it, at least I'm still a commander of the city defense, and the whole family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.

I already have a conclusion in my heart, but I can't lose face, otherwise, what will the people of Jiashan County think of Huo Qiming?
Therefore, Huo Qiming dismounted and strictly ordered the troops not to conflict with the opponent without instructions.

"May I ask which unit the officer in front belongs to?" Although Huo Qiming himself is also a colonel, his colonel rank is too much, and he really didn't see the other party's rank.

Hearing that although the other party's words had the intention of provoking a teacher, but the tone was still kind, so Zhang Tianhai turned around, lit the "filial piety" cigarette of Dai Zhihong, and said, "Your Excellency should be the city defense commander of Jiashan County, Huo Qiming Commander Huo, right? My humble Zhang Tianhai is the head of the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, and if he enters the city this time, he may cause trouble for Commander Huo."

Seeing that the other party had already revealed their background, Huo Qiming also knew what to do. If it could be a unit with the number of the regiment directly under the third theater, it must be the elite of Chairman Jiang's Central Army.

"There were gunshots in the city just now. As the city defense commander of Jiashan County, Qiming must do his best to prevent accidents, so he dispatched some troops from Jiashan County to check the situation. Since Chief Zhang is here, it must be a misunderstanding It's all over." Huo Qiming laughed loudly, but in a few words, he had already given the nature of the matter.
