War of Resistance

Chapter 317 Personnel Adjustment
To be honest, Zhang Tianhai didn't really plan to expand his army by himself in keeping this batch of firearms, but simply wanted to save his fortune, that's all...

It is the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and all aspects of food and ammunition are good. The further we hit the back, the more difficult the conditions will be. Although these Japanese firearms are not as good as German-made firearms, they are better than letting soldiers hold fire sticks and big knives Go forward and fight, right?
After finishing this series of work, it was already 02:30 in the morning. After the exhaustion of traveling for several days, and the busy day after entering the city today, Zhang Tianhai did not hesitate, and immediately ran away from the group. I went to bed in the nearest room.

Well, this room is specially arranged for Zhang Tianhai. After all, he is the head of the regiment. In case there is an emergency order from Shangfeng, it is the easiest to find.

After lying on the bed, Zhang Tianhai fell asleep without taking off his clothes, and soon the snoring sounded.

Zhang Tianhai didn't wake up until nine o'clock the next morning, and then ordered Xu Xun, the combat staff officer, to call the battalion commanders, the heads of the various departments of the regiment headquarters, and all the officers of the first battalion to gather at the regiment headquarters at ten o'clock. meeting.

Well, as for the third company of Zhao Huzhen's chariot, it had already set off for Xuzhou Railway Station at [-] o'clock in the morning, and the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone sent personnel to pick it up and drive away.

It can be seen that the commander of the war zone attaches great importance to this German-made tank company, but the tank company has left, and the artillery battalion has not yet been delivered. People in the executive department are all Pixiu, right?It was agreed to pay the money with one hand, ah bah, is it handed over the tank with one hand and the artillery battalion with the other hand?But what about Lao Tzu's artillery camp? !
But after all, Minister He Yingqin and Commander-in-Chief Li Zongren personally agreed to this matter, and it can't be relied on, otherwise Zhang Tianhai's little heart will reach the brink of explosion again...

Get up, brush your teeth, wash your face, and eat a bowl of hot millet porridge. It's 09:30.

Zhang Tianhai sat behind the chair in his temporary office, staring blankly at the front, as if he hadn't fully woken up yet, well, in modern terms, he looked like a salted fish without dreams ...

"What's the matter? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Seeing Zhang Tianhai's dull eyes, Zheng Man couldn't help but stepped forward and gently pinched the former's face, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Zhang Tianhai gently held her pair of warm catkins, and said softly: "It's okay, I just worked overtime last night, it was too late and too tired, so I didn't bother you. I'm sorry about the matter in Nanjing."

Zheng Man gently broke free from Zhang Tianhai's big hand, covered his mouth with her white and smooth hand, and said, "Let's talk about these things tonight. We have business to do right now." Don't worry too much about these little things."

"En." Zhang Tianhai nodded, and then asked Zheng Man again: "Are you free this afternoon?"

"Huh?" Zheng Man was a little puzzled.

"Let's go out for a walk together. Since we were together, I haven't been with you properly because of the busy military affairs. Now that the troops have not received orders and the battle has not yet reached Xuzhou, let's go out for a walk too. Let's go, relax and enjoy it." Zhang Tianhai said directly, if he hadn't taken into account the impact, he might have hugged Zheng Man long ago.

"Well, I'll arrange others to stay at the communication office in the afternoon." Zheng Man nodded and agreed.

At this moment, a guard ran in and reported: "Reporting to the regiment, the people from the war zone commander's department have come and said that they came with the order of our regiment."

Hearing the news, Zhang Tianhai immediately stood up and strode out, not forgetting to say: "Well, please hurry up."

To be honest, Zhang Tianhai was really a little surprised when he heard the news. After all, this document was only delivered at 07:30 in the morning, and the order came back before ten o'clock?This work efficiency is not generally high...

The person who came was none other than Staff Officer Ji, who was brought by the Minister's Department yesterday to divide the garrison area.

Zhang Tianhai went up to meet him, brought him into the regiment headquarters, and said enthusiastically, "Sir Ji, please sit down, please sit down quickly."

Staff Officer Ji shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are being polite. Mr. Ji has military affairs, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. This is the official appointment order of Commander Li of the war zone. He asked me to tell you that at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, we will Bring all the officers in the theater to inspect your troops, you have to prepare well."

"Yes, sir, thank you for your kindness, and it's hard work for Staff Ji to come here. Since Staff Ji has important military affairs, it's not easy for Zhang to stop him too much. Let's have another drink later." Zhang Tianhai He made a military salute. After all, Staff Officer Ji came here on behalf of the commander of the war zone, that is the leader, and must be respected.

"Okay. No problem." Staff Officer Ji returned a military salute, turned around and left.

Soon, the main officers of the departments directly under the regiment headquarters arrived at the regiment headquarters conference room. The four main battalion commanders, Li Chunfei, Lu Shaojie, Wang Ziqing, and Wang Yongcheng, and the twelve officers of the first battalion, including Zhou Fangjie.

The temporary conference room of the regiment headquarters, which was not spacious at first, was filled with people all of a sudden.

Zhang Tianhai was sitting at the main seat, and the aluminum teacup was slowly emitting steam, while Chief of Staff Guo Qiliang and Zhou Fangjie were sitting on the left and right of him.

"Everyone, since everyone is here, let's start the meeting now." Zhang Tianhai took a sip of the hot water and moistened his throat.

"This meeting mainly focuses on three things. The first is the adjustment of personnel within the regiment and the appointment notice, the second is the establishment of a short-term training course for company-level officers, and the third is to carry out a half-month general Training. Let me talk about it first. The third thing is the most important thing in these two or three days. The commander of the fifth theater, Li Zongren, will come to inspect our troops in two days, so we must do our best to meet the inspection work. " Zhang Tianhai said slowly, and everyone in the venue listened to his speech quietly.

Then, Zhang Tianhai stood up and said, "Next, on behalf of the theater commander's department, I will announce the new appointment of our regiment!"

"stand up!"

With a "shua", all the officers in the meeting room stood up, and the scene was very serious.

Zhang Tianhai opened the folder in his hand with the blue sky and white sun badge printed on it, and read: "We hereby appoint Zhou Fangjie, the commander of the third battalion of the second brigade and fourth regiment of the former teaching corps, as the deputy commander of the first regiment directly under the third theater. school rank;

……

Li Chengge, the fortification staff officer of the regiment headquarters, was appointed as the commander of the engineering company of the first regiment directly under the third theater, with the rank of captain;

Appoint Liu Houming, the adjutant of the first regiment directly under the third theater, and concurrently serve as the commander of the regiment's special agent company, with the rank of captain Xu.

The document takes effect immediately.

The Ministry of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Theater of the Nationalist Government, Dec. 1937, 12. "

The document read by Zhang Tianhai is basically the same list that was drawn up overnight. Except for the addition of the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone, the rest is almost completely unchanged...

Slowly closing the folder, Zhang Tianhai said: "Everyone, the current series of personnel adjustments in the regiment are all for the sake of our first regiment directly under the third war zone to have stronger combat effectiveness, so everyone must be sincere and united. Carry forward the Whampoa spirit and the spirit of the Northern Expedition, are you clear?"

"Understood, sir!" All the officers responded in unison.

"Okay, everyone, sit down!" Zhang Tianhai nodded in satisfaction.
