Chapter 246 Commander of the Joint Command

Yang Shixiong said that he brought his wife and son here because he wanted Li Junhao to meet him, and then asked him to help him send his wife and son to Hong Kong. On the one hand, he could ensure their safety, and on the other hand, he could concentrate on work.

However, Li Junhao felt that something was wrong. First of all, he knew that after the outbreak of the Pacific War, Hong Kong and the Shanghai Concession were occupied by the Japanese army almost at the same time, and they were equally unsafe. In addition, he did not agree with this practice of separating from his family!
But when he stated his reasons, Yang Shixiong insisted and said that he had already made an agreement with his wife and that his son was already six years old and needed to go to school, but the current crisis in Shanghai and the sea was not suitable for children.

In this case, Li Junhao decided for him to send his wife and children directly to the United States, which was the truly safe place during World War II.

Of course Yang Shixiong agreed, but he stated that he didn’t have much money, not enough to pay for it!

Li Junhao laughed loudly. How could the think tank he chose make him worry about money?

Amidst the laughter, Yang Shixiong coughed violently several times. Seeing that Li Junhao was a little worried, he said: "Junhao, don't worry, I practiced too hard when I was in mainland China, and I have picked up some old habits. It's not a problem... "

Li Junhao looked at his thin figure and knew that it was probably not a little bit!At this time, my heart moved. I have personally experienced the red bottle. In addition to healing injuries, it also has the effect of strengthening the body. I wonder if it can also have this effect if it is used by close teammates?

After thinking about it, he decided to say something, "Shixiong, I have a special medicine that can treat internal injuries and has the effect of strengthening the body. I have used it myself, but I have never used it on others. I don't know if you dare to use it. ?”

"Haha..." Yang Shixiong laughed, "Why don't you dare? Jun Hao, can you still hurt me?"

Li Junhao smiled and "took out" a delicate 10 ml small bottle from the desk drawer and handed it over. Yang Shixiong took it, opened it, raised his head and poured it into his mouth...

Soon, Yang Shixiong felt that his chest felt much more comfortable, and the muscles everywhere on his body were slightly heated, and his energy and physical strength seemed to be increasing... This medicine is somewhat magical!

Li Junhao saw the opponent's face start to turn rosy and knew that the red bottle was starting to work. He felt happy. This proved that his previous guess was correct. In addition to healing injuries, the red bottle can also enhance the physical fitness of his teammates!
After that, the two began to study the business.

First of all, Li Junhao expressed his thoughts, especially his "judgment" on the future situation of the Shanghai-Sea War.

Some of these judgments surprised Yang Shixiong. He didn't understand why the other party was so sure that the Japanese army would not attack the concession with force within two years?But it looked like he was joking.Well, the other party is the chief. As a staff officer, let him make plans based on his judgment! ——
Early the next morning, Li Junhao took Yang Shixiong to the Consulate General, introduced him to Consul General Ayers and Military Attaché Kelton, then contacted the country and applied for the appointment of Yang Shixiong as the chief of staff of the Shanghai-Haihai Joint Command, and attached his personal resume.
-
On Monday, December 12, Li Junhao and Yang Shixiong arrived at the Jiaozhou Park Military Camp. The newly built joint command headquarters here has been completed. The Fourth Marine Regiment, the 11th Regiment, the 327th Infantry Regiment, the Police Station, and the Wolf Warrior Brigade have all sent liaison officers The official is permanently stationed here.At ten o'clock in the morning, the joint command held its first military meeting, and all the chief officers of each department attended the meeting.

At the beginning of the meeting, Lieutenant Colonel Kelton, who was present on behalf of the Consulate General, read out the order sent from home:
The first was the establishment of the Shanghai-Marine U.S. Joint Command, with Ognyan Lee Panson appointed as commander and commander of the 327th Marine Regiment, and promoted to the rank of Army Wartime Colonel;
Appoint Yang Shixiong as the chief of staff of the Joint Command and grant him the wartime rank of lieutenant colonel in the Army;
Appointed Deejay Cole as commander of the Fourth Marine Regiment and promoted to the rank of colonel during land and sea warfare;
Gavelin Rupp was appointed commander of the 15th Infantry Regiment and promoted to the wartime rank of colonel in the Army;

Xie Jinyuan was appointed deputy commander of the 327th Marine Regiment and promoted to the rank of colonel during land and sea warfare.

After listening to the order, everyone was extremely happy. This was a promotion for all. Although it was only a wartime military rank, it was extremely important to clarify the position. You must know that in the US military hierarchy, command and commander refer to temporary personnel. There are permanent departmental settings and temporary positions, but the headquarters, commander, and regimental commander are officially appointed!

After reading out the order, Kelton stood up and left. He was originally supposed to be the first commander of the joint command, but he had received domestic orders and was ready to return to China at any time. He was currently preparing for the handover; under the current situation , naturally it can only be Li Junhao.

Subsequently, Li Junhao chaired the meeting, and each department reported on the current reorganization situation. Generally speaking, the progress was smooth; especially the 15th Regiment, which had been slack before, has now basically recovered.

Except for a few soldiers who were sick before and were seriously ill and were ordered to retire and be sent back to the country, the others have resumed normal training. The domestic recruits trained by the 327th Regiment have been returned to the establishment. Currently, the entire regiment's The level of combat effectiveness is rising rapidly.

Currently, the Fourth Marine Regiment has the highest level of training after reorganization. Commander Deejay Cole has a somewhat flattering personality, but he is not bad in ability. Previously, with a simplified regiment of more than 1000 people, he was able to garrison troops in the concession alone. , withstood the pressure from the Japanese army from the outside, and worked with the British army to ensure the safety of the public concession. It was really impossible to do without the ability.

The 327th Marine Regiment, which is composed of officers and soldiers from the Solitary Army Battalion and divided equally from Chinese and American soldiers, is progressing a little slower in the training because there are some special reasons: First, the bodies of the former Solitary Army Battalion officers and soldiers need time to recover;
Second, the officers and soldiers are both Chinese and American, and their communication languages ​​are different, requiring more time for coordination;
Third, Li Junhao specially organized the 327 regiment into an armored regiment designed by him, which was very different from the establishment of the Chinese and American armies of this era. A group of officers had not fully understood the new training syllabus specially written by Li Junhao, plus the new equipment ( armored vehicles) and coordinated training, so some progress was delayed.

However, Li Junhao asked Xie Jinyuan, the deputy commander who is actually in charge of the regiment's work, not to rush in training and to proceed step by step. In particular, the joint training of armored forces and infantry must be trained well and there is still enough time.

Captain Jason and Captain Gabo Urie of the [-]rd Squadron of the Wolf Warrior Brigade who attended the meeting also made a special report on the training situation of the former French Concession Municipal Guard. However, the problem is quite serious. Nearly half of them have been identified. Unqualified, this militia team actually has no combat effectiveness.
