Age of Rebirth

Chapter 280 IX: Army Preparations ([-])

The reporters wrote brilliantly, with all kinds of headlines, such as "The First World War Jinghua North, Taihang Changed the Road," "Twenty thousand bandits were wiped out in a chat and laughing, comparable to contemporary Zhou Lang," "Laughing and cursing are all articles, commanding Taihang to send out surprise soldiers ," "A good general in North China, a new hero of the party and the country," and so on.

There are also many female reporters who have written their inner feelings with delicate brushstrokes, and the words of praise and praise are now on the pen. Of course, there are also some pro-Japanese newspapers whose arguments are not so pleasant. , the name of the general achieved in World War I," etc.

Some made a big fuss about the photo of Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting, insinuating that Mei Ting is the person in Tang Qiuli's dark room, and even boldly speculated that the two had reached the point of discussing marriage.

Mei Ting is full of joy and is very interested in this kind of articles. She carefully collects these newspapers and carefully hides them in a place she thinks is safe. Mei Dai hides spring. [

Tang Qiuli didn't have time to pay attention to these things. He knew very well in his heart that although he scolded happily, he also expressed his own anger, but the Japanese could not be driven away by words alone. Even so, they couldn't kill people , what really works is the guy in your hand.

He plunged headlong into troop training, recruiting recruits, and the rectification of the 29th Army. After obtaining Song Zheyuan's consent, he canceled the first-level establishment of the 29th Army's Central Brigade, and dismissed a group of old, weak, and bad soldiers. For the purpose of removing the false and preserving the true, the troops were reorganized into four divisions, each with four reinforced regiments, one artillery battalion, and the cavalry brigade kept separately as troops directly under the military headquarters.

After the reorganization, the strength of the 29th Army reached more than [-], soldiers with good qualities were retained, and the treatment of soldiers was greatly improved. Although it was not as good as that of the independent division, it was not far behind.

Among them, the part of the soldier's treatment that was improved on the original basis was provided by the logistics department of the independent division. Song Zheyuan had no objection or politeness at all to this. Sooner or later, the 29th Army was owned by Tang Qiuli. As it should be.

The officers who are spared from the establishment form the military teaching group, which is responsible for the training and training of grassroots non-commissioned officers.

In order to adapt to the operational coordination capabilities of the 29th Army and the Independent Division, the two units adopted the exchange of deputy commanders at all levels, and served in each other's units for three months to learn and exchange their respective experiences.

In this way, the effect will be great. The officers of the 29th Army, after serving in the independent division for a period of time, are greatly impressed by the basic qualities of the soldiers of the independent division and the guiding ideology of the officers in combat.

In front of them, they showed a training method different from any army. New ideas and new viewpoints constantly impacted the old concepts in their minds. The so-called "will be the courage of soldiers". With the change from top to bottom, the weather of the troops is updated day by day.

The officers of the Independent Division serving in the 29th Army have also benefited a lot. Looking at the outdated equipment of the army, it is more than a few grades behind the Independent Division. The simple thinking and style of the soldiers have completely inherited General Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army So old.

Especially in the machete team of the 29th Army, every officer was promoted because of his superiority in sword skills, and the soldiers even had a machete made of tin iron. One of the main subjects of daily training of troops.

This is directly related to the poor foundation and poor equipment of the Northwest Army, the predecessor of the 29th Army, and there is no other way. There is a regional cultural spirit in it.

Reminiscent of my own army, the equipment is so good, the training is also hard, and the logistics support is even worse. If you fight hand-to-hand with the little devils, I am afraid it will not be as good as the 29th Army.

This is certainly the consistent idea put forward by the division commander, but it can be guaranteed that when the troops are out of medicine, they will suffer a disadvantage when facing the little devils. After these officers return to the army, they will use the sword skills they learned in the 29th Army Passing it on to the soldiers is also consciously cultivating their bravery and teamwork.

After this fight, the soldiers of the Independent Division, in addition to the standard equipment, each had a big knife behind their backs.

When Tang Qiu left the army, he discovered this phenomenon, and he did not stop it. Although he emphasized that he would not fight hand-to-hand with the little devil, there is no absolute thing. It's a big loss.

However, he found that the broadswords equipped by the troops come in a variety of styles and materials. They can be basically consistent in a regiment, but there are several in a brigade. In Su Jingfeng's brigade, Tang Qiuli discovered that a regiment was equipped with five Huan Machete, while the other regiment is equipped with ghost swords. After inquiring, the two regiment leaders both have martial arts skills, and the schools are different. I can't laugh or cry, this is all right, the army has become a boxer.

He had no choice but to find Zhou Yushan, the deputy director of the logistics department and the director of the logistics department, and asked him to uniformly equip the troops with standard broadswords within one month. If the hardness of the steel mouth is more than three times that of the present.

If there are troops with special requirements, try to meet their requirements, and the logistics department will be responsible for the supervision of production. You might as well gather all the blacksmiths and weapon manufacturing masters around Huangya Cave, and the troops will provide raw materials for unified processing.

As soon as Tang Qiuli issued this order, Huangya Cave became a smelting site at that time, with the continuous sound of "clinking" iron strikes day and night, and the grand scene was comparable to the great iron and steel smelting movement of later generations. [

There really are troops with special requirements, Qiuquan's special warfare detachment, the soldiers require each a sharp dagger, and a special sword with a crossbow. Many fighters with good martial arts in the cavalry brigade also found Zhou Yushan, He said that he was not used to the slender saber, and requested a special batch of thick-backed machetes. When confronting the little devil's cavalry, he could cut the little devil into two pieces with one knife.

Not long after the press conference, I received a personal letter from the chairman of the Nanjing Committee to Tang Qiuli. In the letter, the chairman not only praised him for his effective suppression of bandits, but also specifically mentioned the female reporter from Ta Kung Pao. Question, asked Tang Qiuli to give him a detailed report.

It is said that when the chairman saw the wonderful report in the newspaper, he always smiled and admired it, especially when he saw Tang Qiuli pointing at Sang and scolding Huai and scolding the Japanese, he rarely laughed out loud, which shocked the guards. I stayed by my side for many years, and I have never seen Wei Zuo lose his composure like this.

Mrs. Jiang's wife, Song Meiling, also rushed over when she heard the sound. The chairman pointed to the newspaper and said to his wife: "Young mind, young mind, laughing and scolding are all articles. ,happy!"

"If Jingzhi and the Japanese signed the "Tanggu Agreement" back then, if this person had been present, the Japanese would not have been able to open their mouths and take advantage of so much, so that North China is still under the Japanese eye.

Soon, Tang Qiuli's report arrived. He did not hide the fact that he had fought against the Japanese.

After all, after several battles, the Japanese suffered a great loss and did not dare to speak up, so the matter was left alone, and the national government and the chairman did not have any troubles.

In the report, Tang Qiuli explained in detail the reasons for fighting the Japanese, the final result, and the Japanese's reaction to these things.

As soon as the chairman read the report, he broke out in a cold sweat. The Japanese had nine planes and nearly 7000 people. Tang Qiuli just asked Tang Qiuli to clean it up calmly. This young man is so courageous. He is not afraid of offending the Japanese. Make the situation in North China tense?

Seeing later, the chairman's face became more peaceful. Tang Qiuli handled it well. Where is such a big bargain, he didn't leave any excuses for the Japanese, and he didn't make trouble for the government. It is commendable and not easy.

Since the independent division arrived in North China, the Japanese have never made troubles again, which made them suffer from headaches all day long and were tired of coping. It seems that it was extremely correct to put him in North China at the beginning, and it was a force to deter the Japanese. I have a lot of peace of mind, and I can use all my energy on other important things.

This Tang Qiuli is really a capable person. His ability is many times that of Song Zheyuan. The most important thing is that the independent division is a unit of the central system, and North China can be safely handed over to this young man.

The chairman was very happy, Long Xin was very happy, and immediately ordered the attendant to draw up a telegram to praise Tang Qiuli and the North China Independent Division, and reward all officers and soldiers with 30 yuan in cash, which was used to reward meritorious soldiers, and the independent division could independently The expansion of the number of troops is not subject to the restrictions of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. Regarding military expenses, the central government will reimburse them for actual expenses.

This gives Tang Qiuli great authority. The designation of your independent division remains unchanged. As for the number of soldiers, you can decide by yourself. Probably the chairman of the committee also knows that He Yingqin, Minister of Military and Political Affairs, is behind Tang Qiuli's tricks, so just give him Shang Fang sword.

Especially the issue of military expenditures. Your independent division has 50 people, and the government also allocates funds to you according to the number of people. You will be given as much as you have. As the saying goes, money does not support soldiers.

Tang Qiuli made a lot of money, and the chairman reciprocated. You, Tang Qiuli, guard one side for me, keep the Japanese in North China, and fight with you. Don't make trouble for me. I, Jiang, can't be stingy either. Do it, great benefits.

It's just that the chairman has always had a doubt in his heart. According to the stubborn nature of the Japanese, he suffered such a big loss and kept silent. Is it Japanese style?Is this Tang Qiuli the natural nemesis of the Japanese?

What kind of methods did this young man use to make the arrogant and arrogant Japanese so docile? If he had the opportunity, he really wanted to meet this mysterious Tang Qiuli.
