Sword life

Chapter 124

Li Zongren stabilized his mind and said with a smile: "General Zhang, to be honest, I am also short of guns and ammunition. I still have a division's equipment here, and I can equip your department first."

Zhang Gang didn't answer, looked towards Jinan, then looked at the position of Han Fuqu's Third Army, and said, "Mr. Li, our department is willing to attack, but Han Fuqu's deployment area is also here, can you issue a war zone announcement, Let Han Bu temporarily obey our army's dispatch?"

Li Zongren frowned, looked around, and all the generals immediately retreated like a tide. When there was no one else in the house, he smiled wryly:
"General Zhang, do you know? Sun Yuanliang and Wang Jingjiu have never forgotten you. I have sent telegrams several times asking for German weapons. You swallowed it quietly, do you know what a crime it is!"

Zhang Gang was shocked, and there was no flaw on his face: "Mr. Li, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. At that time, our department covered their retreat and did not detain a single soldier. As for the 103rd and 112th divisions, they automatically followed me." We broke through with all of them, but the loss was too great when we broke through."

Li Zongren took a long breath, and said: "Everyone says you are a worthless person. I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be true. Tell me, what do you want?"

"The equipment of two divisions, the soldiers of four divisions, and my plan to establish a base behind the enemy in WF, if all can be satisfied, I can stay on the front line of Tai'an and delay the little devil for two weeks."

Li Zongren took a deep look at Zhang Gang: "How about assigning the 41st Army to your department? These are three divisions, one more division than you asked for."

Zhang Gang hastily waved his hand: "Mr. Li, the 41st Army was in the same theater as us before. I know their situation very well. One division has three regiments, one regiment has two battalions and six companies, and one division has less than 3000 people. There are not as many people as my regiment, and these three divisions can be counted as one division, which is not bad.”

After being rejected several times, Li Zongren also became angry: "You can say whether you will do it or not! If you don't do it, you won't force it. I will show my old face and borrow some troops from the second war zone. The independent ninth brigade will return to the second battle." Let's rest in the area."

Zhang Gang accepted it when he saw it: "No price, Mr. Li, I will accept it. I will accept it from the 41st Army. Can the 45th Army also give it to me, just in name."

Li Zongren thought about it, but he still didn't dare to assign the 45th Army to Zhang Gang. This guy is too shrewd.

The two negotiated the conditions, Li Zongren led people to leave in a hurry, Zhang Gang borrowed the command room, found several main cadres, and asked the telegraph soldier to send a telegram to Zhao Gang in Jinan.

Sun Desheng, He Zhizhong and others walked in, but they didn't know what happened. Zhang Gang said with a smile: "Don't be tense, we have been promoted two levels now, and now we are called the Tenth Army."

Sun Desheng and others were overjoyed and congratulated one after another.

Zhang Gang accepted it with a smile, and then said: "The Tenth Army has three divisions and six brigades. The establishment is quite large. I am hereby appointed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting room suddenly became silent, and only Zhang Gang's voice could be heard.

The radio wave was transmitted to the Jinan Ninth Brigade Headquarters
“赵刚担任军政委，魏和尚担任55旅代旅长、何知重担任56旅代旅长、徐长生担任56旅副旅长；霍守义担任57旅代旅长，马彪为57旅副旅长。”

Zhao Gang was a little confused. With his qualifications, he was a brigade political commissar. Now that he has become an army political commissar, the impact is too great to be slowed down.

Wei Dayong pretended to be indifferent, and wiped his palms on his clothes: "Unexpectedly, if I was not careful, I would become a brigade commander."

Xu Changsheng pouted, but he knew in his heart that the Second Battalion was only in his early thousand, and being a deputy brigade commander was already a high priority, so he didn't care about it anymore.

Ma Biao snorted and sulked himself.

Li Yunlong's and Kong Jie's eyes were straightened. This is a formal establishment, which is a level higher than the Xinyi regiment of any independent regiment.

On Xuzhou's side, He Zhi glanced at Huo Shouyi again and exchanged glances. Although it seemed that he had been downgraded by one level, Zhang Gang's brigade was made up of four regiments, and each brigade had more people than one teacher.

Besides, it is worthwhile to exchange a non-brand division for a brigade of a top [-] regular division.

"He Xiaowu is the acting brigade commander of the Eighth Brigade, Sun Desheng is the acting brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade, and Fang Gensheng is the acting brigade commander of the No.60 Brigade."

Sun Desheng and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw unconcealable joy in each other's eyes. From regimental commander to brigade commander, it seemed that they had only crossed two levels, but in fact they were very different.

After working as a brigade commander for a few years, he will have the opportunity to serve as the teacher of some small divisions, transfer from school to general, and truly become a high-level person.

After reading the letter of appointment, Zhang Gang said with a smile: "Let's arrange it like this first, do you have any opinions?"

Sun Desheng and others stood up and saluted: "The commander is wise, we have no objection."

He Zhizhong and Huo Shouyi were half a beat late, and they also stood up to salute: "We firmly support the wise decision of the army commander."

"Okay, everyone, don't be so excited, let's just treat it as before. I don't dare to speak when you are so messed up." After teasing everyone, Zhang Gang waited for Jinan's response.

Except for a group leader surnamed Li who expressed dissatisfaction, all agreed.

In the brigade headquarters of the Jinan Independent Ninth Brigade, Li Yunlong lost his temper: "They all beat devils in the same way. Why can Monk Wei be the brigade commander, but I can't. It's too unfair. I want Zhang Gang to reason. It is necessary to give an independent Ninth Brigade an establishment."

Zhao Gang was angry and funny, knowing that this guy was a donkey, he immediately comforted him: "Lao Li, what are you in a hurry for? You are here on secondment. I will give you a brigade establishment, but you won't be able to take it back with you."

After Li Yunlong was appeased, Zhao just telegraphed and asked: "Old Zhang, how should Jinan be arranged?"

He wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but only now did he have time to ask.

In the brigade headquarters, everyone held their breath together, waiting for Zhang Gang's answer.

Soon, Zhang Gang's telegram came back, with only seven words: "Tear down the Jiaoji line along the road!"
