War of Resistance

Chapter 320 Strange Atmosphere
Compared with the downcast state when he left Nanjing, Zhang Zizhong looked radiant at this moment, and he was transformed into the commander of the Ninth Army.

What exactly happened in the process?
It turned out that after August 20, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government revoked the designation of the No. 30 Ninth Army under Song Zheyuan, and expanded its headquarters into the First Group Army, which had three infantry corps and one cavalry corps under its jurisdiction. The No.[-] Eighth Division with Zhang Zizhong as the division commander and the Special Service Brigade jointly formed the Ninth Army.

Zhang Zizhong's Ninth Army has two infantry divisions and one cavalry division, which are Huang Weigang's No.30 Eighth Division and Liu Zhensan's 180th Division, as well as Zhang Deshun's Ninth Cavalry Division, of which the Ninth Division only has one under Yao Jingchuan's Thirteenth Cavalry Brigade.

"Report to Commander, Zhang Zizhong, Commander of the Ninth Army of the First War Zone, please see me!" A guard ran to the door of Li Zongren's office to report.

Li Zongren was originally studying the situation of the Japanese army in Jinan with Xu Zuyi, the chief of staff of the war zone. After hearing the report from the guards, Li Zongren hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly, I will wait for him here in the office."

Seeing that Li Zongren had something important to deal with, Xu Zuyi said to him: "Sir, I'll come over after you finish handling the matter!"

"Okay. Chief of Staff Xu, I'll order someone to call you later!" Li Zongren nodded.

"Yes." Xu Zuyi replied, turned and left.

Soon, Zhang Zizhong came to Li Zongren's office under the leadership of the guards.

"Hello, Commander Li." Zhang Zizhong, a tall man, gave a military salute immediately after seeing Li Zongren.

"Long time no see, Brother Xichen is still radiant." Li Zongren walked towards Zhang Zizhong with a smile on his face, and then patted the latter on the shoulder.

"Officer Li was joking. If Zhang hadn't been helped by Chief Li, he would have been in jail long ago." Zhang Zizhong said with a wry smile. The eight-foot-tall man was actually a little embarrassed.

"Okay, don't mention the past anymore, Chen Chen, come in and sit down." Li Zongren said, his secretary had already made the tea.

"Yes, Chief Li." Zhang Zizhong responded, and then followed Li Zongren into the room.

"Xinchen, how is the situation recently?" This was the first sentence Li Zongren asked after sitting down.

"Thanks to the commander, after returning to the army, Song Zheyuan, Song Chief, trusted me as always. After the No.20 Ninth Army was expanded into the First Army, he appointed me as the commander of the Ninth Army. Now my troops are stationed in Henan. East Shangqiu, it only takes one day and one night to get to Xuzhou." Faced with Li Zongren, a benefactor, Zhang Zizhong always maintained that grateful and respectful attitude.

"The news that your troops are stationed in Shangqiu, we have known for a long time. Since the Xuzhou war, the two major groups of the Japanese army, the north and the south, launched a pincer attack on Xuzhou from Jinan and Chuzhou, one north and one south. Now Pang Bingxun's army has been dispatched by me. I went to Haizhou to rest. Now Han Fuqu's Shandong army is evacuating all the way south without permission. At that time, the north of Jiangsu and the south of Shandong may fall into a state of no troops to adjust. If the battle is urgent, the military command may also mobilize your troops to come over to us Fifth theater." Li Zongren said slowly.

"Chen Chen has long thought of being able to come to the Fifth Theater to fight under Chief Li's command. Now that the fifth theater is on fire, if possible, Chief Li can apply to the Military Commission or the Military Command Department on Chen Chen's behalf. Transfer the Ninth Army under Chen Chen to the fifth war zone to repay the kindness of the commander." Zhang Zizhong said solemnly, stood up and saluted.

"Okay, I'll try my best. How about your Ninth Army?" Li Zongren asked. After all, this self-loyal army may be transferred to his fifth theater.

"Basically, it is fully equipped. Although the weapons and equipment are not comparable to the Japanese army, our Ninth Army will never frown. As long as the commander points his gun, it is the direction of our Ninth Army! "Zhang Zizhong promised.

"Okay, very good. Sit down!" Li Zongren pressed his hands and signaled Zhang Zizhong to sit down.

……

Then turn the camera to the headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third theater.

The prelude to Zhou Fangjie's training has already begun. He first gathered all the company commanders, called them and registered them, and then announced the training plan.

After the training plan was announced, the company commander team was disbanded, and the two-day queue training began with the military police company of the political training department and other departments.

For this queue training, Zhou Fangjie didn't quite agree with it at first. After all, the time is limited, and half a month is not a lot of time. It is not very useful to train these subjects that are used to please the chief, but later Zhang Tianhai approached him privately. , illustrating the importance of queue training.

First of all, queue training is an important way to show the spirit of an army; secondly, the chief of the commander's department comes to inspect the army, which will determine the combat position and specific combat effectiveness of the directly subordinate first regiment in this battle.

In the most common words, that is, if your troops can fight, the commander must know about it, and you cannot be misjudged by others about your own strength.

So during the morning meeting in the morning, when Zhou Fangjie didn't propose queue training, Zhang Tianhai made a supplement, but Zhou Fangjie didn't object either.

Now that the training plan for this unit has been decided, even if Zhou Fangjie doesn't like it, he must stick to it. After all, this has risen to the implementation policy of the entire regiment.

"Look to the right! Look to the front!" All the company commanders are desperately training their troops. In addition to trying to train their troops well, the most important thing is that each company has more than four military policemen. Staring at their training, there is an instructor of the whole training class between almost every two companies watching the progress and the quality of training.

Even though these veterans wanted to complain, they didn't dare. After all, these gendarmes are really fucking cruel: I don't know if He Jiye, the chief of the political training section, gave them some ecstasy soup to deal with his own people. If you want to be so ruthless, you won't show mercy at all.

In short, this military police company under the leadership of the political training section chief He Jiye has a very good "record" and has received unanimous "good reviews" from the officers and soldiers of the entire regiment combat company: it is too ruthless, and almost did not give them a way out.

So with the existence of this military police company, coupled with the repeated strict orders of the regiment commander, the officers and soldiers of Zhiyi regiment really dare not relax at all!If you are not careful, you will be notified, and you will be kicked by the company's big feet.

Thus, Zhiyituan's training began in this serious and strange atmosphere...
