Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Generally speaking, those who dared to join the army during the Republic of China were different from the soldiers of later generations that Wang Zhenyu came from.The era Wang Zhenyu lived in was a peaceful era. He joined the army because of sufficient political treatment, such as distribution after retiring from the army.So in China at that time, everyone cut their heads and wanted to send their children to the army, which was especially critical for rural children.Due to the strict household registration system, farmers are unfortunately tied to the land and rely on the sky for food. Before the reform and opening up, there were only two ways to change this status, one was to study, and the other was to serve in the army.

The popularity of serving as a soldier reached a peak in the 80s, and then went downhill with the reform of the army.Waiting for soldiers to be promoted to officers, officers must be military school students, and the system that soldiers are no longer assigned, the history of soldiers' popularity will come to an end.However, this does not mean that the army is no longer popular. On the contrary, such a reform is more like a centralization reform, which concentrates the honor and privileges that originally belonged to all soldiers to the upper echelons of the army and even higher.

Wang Zhenyu's youth army is currently in the first stage. Soldiers can be qualified to enter the military academy through their performance in combat and daily work, and they can also get a good job after retiring from the army, even if you are disabled.Rural police, security forces, police stations, factory and mine workers will give priority to soldiers.As for military officers, there is no need to worry. At present, military officers are scarce, and once they really want to change jobs, civil servants at all levels of government and managers of factories and mines at all levels will give priority to hiring these officers.This makes the soldiers full of fighting spirit and motivation, and Wang Zhenyu never expects to inspire anyone with the theory of rejuvenating the Chinese nation, because he believes in the western theory of human selfishness. The spirit is not enough, but the system is also needed.Having learned the lessons of later generations, his first point is to achieve a breakthrough in this system. The government and enterprises do not engage in iron rice bowls, and the secondary employment of soldiers is also fully relaxed, and they can choose their own jobs.

But this point is definitely ahead of China. In fact, even in the 21st century American imperialism, the secondary employment of their soldiers is a headache.It's just that their soldiers have not become useless soldiers and brain-dead soldiers because of their professional skills training.

In China in this era, that is, the Youth Army has so many relevant policies and positions to solve this problem.In other armies, this problem has been such a big problem that it has spawned many other new problems.

For example, Zhang Zongchang's army is not a serious army in essence. It has no political ideology of defending the home and the country as a guide, and there is no guarantee of serious and self-disciplined military discipline.The political guiding ideology that can gather so many 10 people is to grab money, food, and territory, and the only guarantee to maintain the combat effectiveness of this army is unscrupulous robbery and indulgence.It can be said that such an army is essentially the same as the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the late Ming Dynasty. It is an armed robbery group, and everything in the world can be seized and destroyed by them at will.So for Zhang Zongchang and his soldiers, the essence of being a soldier and fighting is the same as being a bandit. Getting promoted, getting rich and playing with women is the only reason and spiritual motivation for the bandit gang to survive.You can despise their actions, but you can't underestimate the amazing power they burst out from time to time.

Wu Peifu is definitely a famous general in this era. His immediate army is also brave and well-disciplined. It is absolutely worthy of the reputation of "benevolent and righteous teacher, mighty teacher" given by the people.But no matter how good you are, you will only suffer when you meet Zhang Zongchang's gang of bandits, hooligans and bastards.

Historically, even the Northern Expedition, which claimed to be invincible, suffered a great loss when it arrived on the ground in Shandong. In the end, it was hard to rely on Bai Chongxi, a little Zhuge, to turn the tide of the battle, and Zhang Zongchang, who did not want his ancestors, borrowed from Japan The man's hand calculated fiercely.

So can the youth army deal with Zhang Zongchang's nearly 30 wolf-like Zhilu coalition forces?To be honest, Wang Zhenyu, who is holding the fourth Wang Jingwu (Shen Quan is regarded as the boss and given the name Wang Shenquan), is also very bottomless. The Siberian tiger, but Wang Zhenyu consciously or unconsciously turned his eyes to the lifeless north.

"Boom, boom, boom..." At 9 o'clock in the morning on September 11, at lunch time, the battle between the Feng army and the youth army followed the first shell of Zhang Zongchang's heavy artillery brigade, with a sharp The whistling sound of flying towards the youth army's position officially began.The war correspondents of Shanghai's "Shenbao" and "Ta Kung Pao" recorded truthfully with their pens at this moment: "At 12:[-] noon on September [-], the sixth year of the Republic of China, with the start of the shelling by the Zhilu coalition forces, the Civil War ended. break out..."

The warring parties did not admit that this was China's Civil War. The Fengjun insisted that they were seeking rebellion, while the Youth Army claimed that they were in the Northern Expedition. Anyway, they all thought that they were on the side of justice.

Less than 1500 meters away from the forefront, Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 1st Division of the Youth Army, Zhang Xuguang, chief of staff, and Jiang Zhiqing, director of the political guidance department, sat in the division headquarters with different expressions and drank tea.Just now, a shell fell less than 200 meters away from here. Fortunately, the concealment work was in place in time and did not cause too many casualties.But unfortunately, this shell, which was obviously fired indiscriminately, was right in the middle of the telephone line, causing the division's external communication to be temporarily interrupted.Now the telephone soldiers have been ordered to reconnect the wires, and the commander of the communications company almost yelled at these young soldiers to connect the telephone wires even if they died.And these passionate and simple-minded soldiers did not hesitate to risk the shelling and rushed out to find the break with the telephone coil. Fortunately, this area was not a key bombing target of the Zhi-Shandong coalition forces, and the telephone communication was quickly restored.

This episode did not affect the three senior officials of the First Division of the Youth Army, and the comings and goings of staff officers were not taken seriously by them. They were having their own conversations.

"Mr. Zhang, Director Jiang, can our position really withstand the Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces? Listen, the cannons are all fired by 150mm heavy artillery. I have seen such caliber artillery before." The navy has fought. We don’t have many equipped. At present, the 12 heavy artillery battalions of the first division are equipped with the expeditionary force after training, and the number of shells is limited. But why does Zongchang’s army feel that there are at least a hundred guns? And it will definitely be the charge of the large corps next." Zhang Xuguang, the Chief of Staff of the First Division, originally planned to take over as the commander of the First Division, and He Chengjun was even given the post of commander of the 101st Regiment.It turned out that Zhang Zizhong was parachuted down temporarily, but the army commander had already talked to him. After this battle was over, he would be transferred to another division as the division commander, so his resistance was not very great.It's just that when I think that my division with more than 2 brothers will face the onslaught of an enemy ten times larger than myself, and also pay off all the Japanese equipment, it will be a lie if I don't have the time to play drums.

"Chief of Staff Zhang, don't need to worry. Our defensive position can definitely withstand it, and the preservation has surprised Zhang Zongchang and the others. Not to mention them, in Europe, even big powers like Britain and France suffered heavy losses when facing our defensive position." Yes." Zhang Zizhong is from Shandong, and he doesn't like to talk too much, so the one who answered was Jiang Zhiqing, a hero of Ou Zhan who had just been promoted to major general director.That is Jiang Zhongzheng, the famous classmate in our history, he was unlucky to say the least, he was considered a big hit in the Verdun counterattack, and led Chen Cheng's regiment all the way to kill the German Marshal Xing Xing. Den Burg, the French did not forget to award our classmate Jiang the Higher Medal afterwards.This time I followed Bai Chongxi and others to return to China and waited for meritorious service and honors, but in Wang Jingwei's assassination plan, this master was regarded as the No.1 assassin by Xiao Wang because he participated in the assassination of the leader of the Restoration Society Tao Chengzhang, and absolutely loyal to Sun Wen.The following story was a bit frowned upon. Wang Jingwei decided on a candidate but could not find anyone. It turned out that due to the postponement of the award ceremony, Jiang Zhiqing simply reported that he did not even go to Wuhan and went back to his hometown in Fenghua.This unexpected move naturally made him lucky to avoid the embarrassment of the choice, and also avoided the possibility of him being cannon fodder.But the surviving Wang Jingwei did not forget to continue to reuse Jiang Zhiqing after he arranged other assassins. According to Wang Jingwei's idea, once the big devil Wang Zhenyu was successfully killed, then the next national government would naturally be headed by Sun Wen, and Jiang Zhiqing This kind of general who belongs to the revolutionary party background naturally also belongs to the scope of reuse.He arranged for Jiang Zhiqing to be the commander of the Jiangsu Provincial Military Region and the commander of the Nanjing Garrison Region. As everyone knows, the assassination failed, Wang Jingwei fled to Japan, and Sun Wen returned to Shanghai due to illness.Originally, Jiang Zhiqing didn't have anything to do here, and he didn't participate from the beginning to the end.But Wang Jingwei ran away as soon as he escaped, and he didn't know what he was doing. The personnel list he drafted by himself was not burned.Because of Wang Zhenyu's advance notice, basically none of the people involved in the government were held accountable, but it was hard to say about the military.As a result, Bai Chongxi, who was originally going to be the commander of the Northern Expedition, became the chief of staff, and the specific work was still the chief of staff in charge of the deputy chief of staff.Unfortunately for Jiang Zhiqing, the special agents of the National Security Bureau immediately monitored him. If the Minister of the Political Department, Lieutenant General Dai Jitao, hadn't intervened, Jiang Zhiqing would have been arrested and credited.However, capital crimes can be avoided and living crimes cannot escape. Jiang Zhiqing's appointment as the deputy director of the Political Department was immediately annulled, and then he was sent to the First Division of the Youth Army as the director of the Political Guidance Department.His great military exploits in Verdun were merely changing his rank from brigadier general to major general. Looking at the two gleaming golden plum blossoms on Zhang Zizhong's shoulders for the rank of lieutenant general, Jiang Zhiqing could only swallow enviously.
