Age of Rebirth

Chapter 730 Six Generals

Tang Qiuli was eager to return to the front line in Tianjin to coordinate and direct the decisive battle with the Japanese army in North China. When he returned to the hotel, Chen Cheng, Zhang Qun and others were waiting in the living room, and they proposed from the very beginning that the former enemy commander of the National Military Commission should be formed. This matter is Tang Qiuli's inescapable responsibility. As the chief officer, if he doesn't come up with the regulations, the people below will be unable to do things, and they will be looked down upon by Chen Cheng and others, which will be detrimental to future command.

After pondering for a while, I collected the relevant information of future generations in my mind, and turned to the Chief of Staff Yang Ketian who was standing aside and said: "Records, the following organizations were set up in the Nanjing camp in advance. At the same time, the combat plan is to exercise the functions of the staff department. The intelligence department is responsible for internal and external intelligence work, especially the intelligence related to the Japanese army. To perform the functions of the military law department, the logistics department is responsible for the collection and distribution of weapons and equipment, military supplies, food, etc. across the country, and the general department, the specific job functions, will be determined later.”

Chen Cheng and Mrs. Zhang exchanged glances and said nothing, because Tang Qiuli's plan had basically outlined the basic structure of the camp, and there was nothing to be picky about. It was also in line with the routine to set up the shelf first and then improve it. Zhang Zhizhong He agreed without thinking, and Wei Lihuang thought for a while before agreeing. This matter is considered to be passed by all.

The establishment of these departments proposed by Tang Qiuli is enough for Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun to work for a month or two. When it comes to personnel deployment and other aspects, this is the benefit of the chief officer. , now that the basic structure has been finalized, several people will get up and leave without delay. Tang Qiuli appreciates this. [

But how can there be such a cheap thing, if one's own people are not around, let Chen Cheng and the others do it according to their own ideas, and when the time comes, Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun will not be made into a monolithic unit by Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun when they camp in Nanjing, can they still get in?He hurriedly said: "You guys, please stay here, Qiuli still has important arrangements." Turning to a guard, he said: "Go and invite the Director of the Intelligence Department."

Chen Cheng, Zhang Qun, and Wei Lihuang exchanged glances, none of them understood what kind of medicine Tang Qiuli was selling in the gourd, but Zhang Zhizhong took his time and smiled. After a while, Yu Deshui came in. Tang Qiuli pointed at Yang Ketian, Shen Jun , Yu Deshui said: "These three people are all subordinates who have followed me for many years. They are very talented, loyal and brave. Now, I plan to arrange a few of them to Nanjing for camping."

As soon as they finished speaking, the faces of Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun changed slightly, Wei Lihuang remained silent as usual, Zhang Zhizhong was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, Tang Qiuli ignored their reactions, and continued: "They are all experienced professionals, The battle can be started immediately, and the workload of Chief of Staff Chen, Deputy Chiefs of Staff Wei and Zhang, and Secretary-General Yang will be reduced, so that the battalion can be put into operation as soon as possible.”

"In this way, Yang Ketian will be the head of the Operations Department, Yu Deshui will be the head of the Intelligence Department, Shen Jun will be the head of the Political Work Department, and as for the head of the Logistics Department, Zhou Yushan, the Deputy Head of the Logistics Department of the Independent Division, may choose Assuming this position, I will take up the post in the near future. Candidates for other departments can be handled at the discretion of several people. They can give priority to selecting talented young officers from various departments of the Military Commission, and enrich them to camp in Nanjing to learn the ability of overall planning. how?"

"Also, in order to strengthen the security work of the camp, I decided to transfer the three detachments of the independent division security brigade, with a total of 950 people, to the Nanjing camp security regiment." Great change, the power of Tang Qiuli's move is that, without making a fuss, he controls several key functional departments of the operation and operation in his own hands, and the person who can follow Tang Qiuli for many years must be his confidant. And differentiation is almost impossible.

He intends to raise an objection, but the reasons are not sufficient. He knows that Tang Qiuli is using his own personal influence, but even the whole country's army is under his unified command. I'll choke you to death. Besides, at the first meeting, you can't make a half-blush with their nominal bosses because of the candidates of several subordinate organizations. It's almost like tearing your face.

Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun seemed to swallow 25 mice in one gulp, scratching their hearts with a hundred claws, and a hundred of them were unwilling, so they had no choice but to agree with a bitter face. The smile became stronger, Tang Qiuli secretly smiled, the vice chairman came up with a plan to evade himself, so he gave the old man a right and wrong, and returned the color when it came to the specific executive department candidates, I don’t know who evaded whom Woolen cloth?It also makes people unable to find faults, if you want to play tricks, then stay with me to the end.

Yang Ketian, Shen Jun, and Yu Deshui also laughed secretly in their hearts, admiring the master's methods. Look at these people, as if they had eaten bitter melon, they all stood at attention and saluted: "Chief of Staff Chen, Secretary-General Yang, Deputy Chief of Staff Wei, Deputy Chief Zhang Chief of Staff, I must be loyal to my duties and live up to the expectations of Chairman Jiang. If there are any orders, I must obey them and never dare to slack off in the slightest!"

In an understatement, Tang Qiuli calmly placed his forces in the Nanjing camp of the former enemy commander. The three division chiefs of the Independent Division are considered to have officially taken up their posts. At this point, they seem to be humble and amiable. The veil was gone, Chen Cheng and Zhang Qun were nostalgic, and they were about to get up and leave. Tang Qiuli knew that several people were eager to report to Generalissimo Jiang, so that they could get an idea to deal with their shady tricks.

But he was not in a hurry to let them go, and wanted to add fuel to the fire. He said to Chen Cheng solemnly: "Chief of Staff Chen, immediately issue the first order in the name of the former enemy commander of the Military Commission, the Nanjing Camp, to urgently transfer the Central Army of the three divisions in the Songhu Theater. Troops, immediately go to the front line in Tianjin to participate in the upcoming North China battle in the Yellow River Basin theater, and arrive within five days, otherwise, the military law will be followed, and I will wait for them to arrive in Tianjin."

"The mobilization of Commander Zhang's troops this time will be handled by Brother Wen Bai. After receiving the order, he will act immediately and report to the Military Commission for the record. In the telegram, remind the commanders of the three divisions that I, Tang Qiuli I don't care about shooting a few division commanders, but it's also a reminder to those local officials who are determined to preserve their strength, and the central army officials that military orders must not be violated!" When Tang Qiuli said this, there was a cold light in his eyes, and his voice was stern.

Chen Cheng's face was pale, Yang Yongtai had lost his mind, Wei Lihuang looked like he had nothing to do with himself, Zhang Zhizhong was thoughtful, Tang Qiuli's words could be said to be the general, and Chen Cheng was the one who made the most noise Heart, this order is not to be carried out, it is unreasonable, and the mobilization of the army is originally within the purview of Tang Qiuli, the director of the camp. It's not impossible, and he was charged with disobedience.

After the Xi'an Incident, Tang Qiuli had just accepted the appointment of the commander of the South Road, and dared to shoot He Yingqin's nephew, who was then the Minister of Military Affairs and Political Affairs. He was also a division commander of the Central Army. Is there still less?If the order is carried out, without the nod of Generalissimo Jiang, he can't make the decision, and he dare not make the decision.

Chen Cheng was in great chaos and didn't know what to do. Yang Yongtai, who was known as a man full of wit and tricks, was so anxious that his forehead was sweating and he was at a loss for strategies. It was because Tang Qiuli's order was reasonable, and he couldn't find fault with it, so he didn't carry out this order. , I'm afraid I can't leave this living room, so in desperation, I had to stand at attention and answer: "Yes, Director Tang, give the order immediately." After finishing speaking, he and Yang Yongtai looked at each other, feeling helpless.

This time, the old man was probably shooting himself in the foot with a stone. He couldn't play with the cunning Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli turned around and ordered Yang Ketian, "Minister Yang, why don't you carry out Chief of Staff Chen's order immediately?" Yang Ketian turned and left. Chen Cheng and Yang Yongtai were like eggplants beaten by frost, and they said their farewell with drooping heads, but they were polite, but Wei Lihuang and Zhang Zhizhong were still well-behaved. Zhang Zhizhong also said: "Rush back to Shanghai immediately, and prepare to carry out Director Tang's order."

Watching the few people leave, Tang Qiuli burst out laughing. Today was a very happy day. He gave the Generalissimo Generalissimo Jiang a few generals who used him to sway him. The Central Army of the division can really participate in the decisive battle in North China. It is better to arrive on time, and more troops can be deployed to join the Shanhaiguan battlefield. Where is the main battlefield of the decisive battle in North China. It is the Kwantung Army. So, the decisive battle in North China , the article was written on the front line of Shanhaiguan.

If the troops of the three divisions of the Central Army cannot arrive on time, it will not affect the overall situation of the battle. The troops in hand are still enough for the time being. Just try to find out the true intention of Chairman Jiang. If Chairman Jiang is afraid that he will use up his direct troops, he will quietly transfer the Central Army to the southwest in order to preserve its strength. It will be filled in no time.

If you don't move, you will have hundreds of thousands of well-trained and well-equipped Central Army troops available in your hands, and the combat plan for attacking the Northeast Kwantung Army can be carried out in advance. After accepting his own move, he made a decision, and even arranged Yang Ketian and the others to camp in Nanjing. Even Chairman Jiang's ruthless move to evade himself was resolved at the same time. Tang Qiuli was in an extremely happy mood.

In the evening, the special plane from Jinan landed at Wuhan Airport. It was still a large escort fleet, led by Liu Cuigang, the deputy commander of the Air Force of the Independent Division. There were hundreds of people who came to the airport to see off the local and central officials. , with different thoughts, shook hands and bid farewell to Tang Qiuli one by one. The scene was grand and enthusiastic. [
