The Republic of Heroes

Du Balu's head was chopped off and hung on the flagpole of the Lefuhe Gold Mine to show the public, deterring young people from all walks of life, don't take the Suidong Army's idea, Li Zhenqing's revenge was avenged, he was in a good mood, his thoughts became clearer, and he He put forward his own suggestion: "Weizhong, as the head of an army, you must not be away from the center for a long time, and this place is not a safe place. It is more appropriate to rush back to Suidong as soon as possible."

Wu Xiaoliang left Sanlian in the Lefuhe Gold Mine to defend the newly occupied strategic location, and took Li Zhenqing back to Suidong City.Of course, only one company is absolutely unable to defend this city, and he will continue to increase troops here to deal with threats that may come from further north.

All the way to Suidong smoothly, in just a few months, Suidong City has become quite popular, running across the three main streets from north to south, with various masonry houses and yellow mud houses rising from the ground on both sides.Coal mines were not only found in Daogangzi, but also in Suidong City Walled City, and they were all high-quality white coal.The generous treatment has attracted a large number of Chinese laborers in the Far East. Not only that, small traders also gather here from thousands of miles away.The major commercial firms also prepared for a rainy day and came to Suidong to open up warehouses.A large warehouse in the north of the city is a newly built warehouse.

For a while, Suidong City was very lively, and the popularity was completely different from a few months ago. As the mayor of Suidong, Wang Huaishi contributed a lot here.A simple and rough three-story building was built on the site of the factory shed, and it has been put into use as a city hall. When Suidong was building the city, the stone erected by Wu Xiaoliang was in front of this small building for people to remember. The hardships at the beginning of the construction of the city.This also became the first building in Suidong, and in the following years, it became one of the landmark buildings in Suidong.

Wu Xiaoliang returned to Suidong in a low-key manner. If all the initial creations are made with great fanfare, it will inevitably be extravagant and wasteful, so he chose to enter the city hall quietly in the evening.Yin Chengfu came to Wu Xiaoliang's office in the city hall and reported to him the major events that had happened in Suidong City in the past few months.The most serious one was Qian Mingjun's defection.

"Brigade Commander, the assistant is unknown, and almost made a big mistake, please punish yourself."

Wu Xiaoliang did not express his opinion on the spot, but asked about the specific situation: "How many guns did this Qian Hefu take away? How many people came back?"

"A strengthened company took away more than 120 people, and only [-] people escaped. According to the soldiers who escaped, there was a firefight during the period. More than twenty people were killed."

Yin Chengfu said that his eyes were dim here, which was the most serious setback since he joined the army.

Wu Xiaoliang sneered in his heart: This Qian Mingjun is really self-inflicted. If he just defected, because of the face of the chief ministers and deputy ministers of the Beijing government, he would be open to it. Now that he has killed so many officers and soldiers in Suidong Paoze, he just wants to Let them go, the majority of Suidong officers and soldiers can not agree.

"Can you find this guy's whereabouts?"

"Several small teams have been sent to find their whereabouts in the dense forest where they disappeared." Yin Chengfu hesitated and asked again: "According to the soldiers who escaped, Qian Mingjun attacked you in Laobei Mountain?"

"That's right, this Qian Hefu has such a gloomy mind, but his tactical command is a mess. He was beaten to death by Du Balu. The heavy machine guns and infantry artillery of our Suidong Army were all rounded up by the bandits. It is estimated that the sacrificed That's why the political instructors are at odds with it."

The political instructor was Wu Xiaoliang's head of a department who had been alone in a unit above the company level when he was in the Fourth Brigade. He imitated the later generations of the People's Liberation Army to control the troops' thoughts and assisted the military chief in the daily management of the army.They are directly under the command headquarters, not under the jurisdiction of the general staff.

Yin Chengfu echoed: "It seems that the establishment of a political director is very necessary. The Suidong Army should carry out a large-scale and profound ideological education for officers and soldiers to completely prevent the growth of bad habits."

These words are chilling, the so-called ideological education is a purge about standing in line, how can Wu Xiaoliang not understand it?Yin Chengfu's style of acting has become more rigid in recent years, and it is easier to overcorrect when encountering problems.Cleaning can certainly improve the purity of the team, but it will cause immeasurable losses to combat effectiveness and morale. Deep down in his heart, he is very disgusted with using this method to maintain the loyalty of the army. The policy should still focus on attracting all benevolent young people who have the ambition to serve the country.

For different beliefs, he believes that an inclusive attitude should be maintained.In addition, it should also be established in the system, the highest guiding ideology of the Suidong Army, individual behavior must be cleared out of the team, and within the scope of the principle, a corresponding tolerance should be given.

This principle established by Wu Xiaoliang made the Suidong Army dominate the Far East, but it also doomed the final outcome.Of course, this is decades away.

A few days later, Wu Xiaoliang formally held a military meeting in the large meeting room of the city hall.All officers above the platoon level were present to participate. He first spoke highly of and affirmed the achievements of the Suidong Army in the past few months, but still pointed out the shortcomings and problems in the construction process of the army.

Qian Mingjun's question was settled at the meeting.

"This is an extremely bad act of defection. The mastermind and the coercion must be arrested and handed over to the military court for trial. After the meeting, the first customs department immediately sent more people into the mountain to search and arrest. We must catch this small group of Sui. The black sheep of the Eastern Army should be severely punished to serve as an example.” Wu Xiaoliang rebuked Qian Mingjun’s behavior most strongly in his speech.

Then he changed the subject and announced a personnel order.

"From now on, Li Zhenqing is officially appointed as the deputy brigade commander of the Suidong Army and the commander of the third regiment." At the point of this order, there was a murmur of whispers below, guessing who is this Li Zhenqing?For the purpose of protecting Li Zhenqing, Wu Xiaoliang never mentioned Li Zhenqing's origin, and his background in the army was also a benchmark for identifying his identity. He didn't want his ally to be called a bandit by others, so he kept his origin secret.

Even for the officers and soldiers of the second regiment who had fought with him before, Wu Xiaoliang's answer was secretive. In short, he could keep Li Zhenqing's background mysterious, but he would never allow others to call him a bandit.Otherwise, it will have a very negative impact on Li Zhenqing's prestige.

This is also another kind of support for his attitude towards this ally.

Entering June, at the turn of spring and summer, Fengtian's Governor Zhang suddenly sent a telegram to invite the upstart of Suidong, Brigadier Wu Xiaoliang, to Fengtian for a while.
