Chapter 360: Entering the Sichuan Army System for the First Time
So what? Don't forget, you are the commander of the new 16th Division, and the battalion and platoon commanders below are all your people, what are you afraid of? ”
Wang Lingji said angrily.
"Do you just watch them annex the new 16th Division?" Wu Shouquan said worriedly.
"Talk about it until then!" Wang Lingji was also a little hesitant.
In fact, he also knew the plans of the Central Army, but he was afraid that he would annoy the Chongqing side, and when the time came, not only the 78th Army, but even the 72nd Army might not be protected.
This new 16th Division is definitely hopeless, and the most important thing is that he has to find a way to keep the new 13th Division.
Seeing Wang Lingji hesitating, Wu Shouquan was also very helpless, the other party didn't care as the commander-in-chief of the group army, what could he do as a division commander?
I didn't expect a lieutenant general with the rank of general to make the other party make such a compromise.
Some unhappy Wu Shouquan returned in vain, and went back to figure out how to deal with the unscrupulous officers of the Central Army.
"Lao Liu, the four of you are about to go to the new 16th Division, and this task will undoubtedly be very arduous.
The new 16th Division belongs to the Sichuan Army system, and the situation of the Sichuan Army is actually known to you, it has strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield, but its equipment and military discipline are also poor, and it is expanded by the Security Corps, and it is also very xenophobic.
Lao Liu, most of the four of you are not from Sichuan, and it may be difficult to integrate into the new 16th Division in a short time, so you had better be mentally prepared. ”
Before Liu Xin and the others took office, Leng Jie naturally called them to talk.
Leng Jie was transferred to the 78th Army, I am afraid that there will not be much military action in a short time, and the first battle of Changsha has just been fought, and the Japanese army will have to stop a little.
Even if you want to fight, you have to slow down for a while or change directions.
"To be honest, this seems to be the chief of staff of the division, but how do I feel like I have been degraded." Liu Xin complained a little.
"Sir Leng, the humble position also has a bit of this meaning, from the Central Army to the Sichuan Army... Chen Wei was also a little difficult to say.
Chen Wei served as the regiment commander when he was in the 18th Division, but now two years have passed, from the lieutenant colonel to the colonel commander, but from the Central Army to the miscellaneous army.
The loss in it is probably only felt by himself.
Anyway, he is also a graduate of Whampoa Phase 8.
When Leng Jie first came to teach the corps, he was only a captain and deputy company commander, but he was a major and deputy battalion commander.
But now, Leng Jie has become the acting division commander of the major general, and he is still the colonel's regiment commander.
In terms of background, he is better than Leng Jie, after all, he is two years high, and he is also from the teaching corps of the Central Military Department.
Leng Jie is only the tenth phase of Huangpu, and he is also from the tax police corps, a unit that is free from the Central Army.
But Leng Jie showed his extraordinary command ability in the Battle of Songhu and the recent Battle of Northern Guangdong, plus he had a good backer --- the civil engineering department.
In addition, there is also Han Bin, the sworn brother of the celebrity next to the chairman's wife, who suddenly became the fastest promoted Huangpu student except for the first six phases of Huangpu.
Thinking about this, Chen Wei seemed to be a little comforted again.
"Do you think that if we stay in the 54th Army or other Central Army, with our qualifications, it will be easy to be promoted?" Leng Jie knew that his group of old subordinates had some complaints, so he would specifically look for opportunities to enlighten them.
The appointments of these people were all recommended by Leng Jie, which can be regarded as Chen Cheng's compensation to Leng Jie, anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot.
Now that Chen Cheng has regarded Leng Jie as an important general of the civil engineering department, he naturally has to give the other party some sweetness.
And let other troops come to the 78th Army, it is estimated that no one is willing.
"Sir, that's what you said, but the situation of the Sichuan army is also as you said, sir, except for morale, you can't do anything else." Chen Wei said with disgust, "Especially this new 16th Division." ”
"So this is your chance as well.
There is no doubt about the morale of the Sichuan army, as long as you grasp the training and military discipline next, you will be an elite army at that time.
Soldiers are promoted by military merit, and with military merit, it is impossible for superiors to bury you. Leng Jie persuaded.
"Sir, it is said that the Sichuan army is a bit serious on the side of empty salaries." Xu Dong said suddenly.
Leng Jie nodded, "This is indeed a fact. In fact, all units have the problem of empty salaries, and the 40th Division is relatively strict.
The local troops are inferior to the central army, their management is not in place, and the matter of empty salaries cannot be controlled. So you must find a way to solve the problem of empty salary, as for military salary, if there is a problem, report to Yan Qing.
He is the chief of staff of the army, and he has a close relationship with Chief Luo, and can help you ensure that the military pay can be paid in full.
After leaving the 40th Division, I also hope that you can be strict with yourself, and when the national crisis is at the head, we will not do those things that degrade the identity of soldiers. ”
After all, these people are no longer in his own charge after that, and Leng Jie can't take care of too much.
He just hopes that these people will not be corrupted, and he doesn't want the people he brings out to end up being people he hates.
The Kuomintang army is several million, and he can't manage other troops, but for those who have served under him, he still hopes that they can be a real soldier who defends the country and the country.
Xu Dong and Li Jichang nodded immediately, but Liu Xin and Chen Wei replied 'um' after a while.
"If you can solve the problem of empty salary, I will go to Chief Luo's side to get better equipment for you, even if I lick my face.
It's hard to say about the artillery, but it's still possible to equip your weapons and replace the old ones. Leng Jie assured.
In the end, these four people left the division headquarters of the 40th Division with different thoughts, and took their adjutant to the new 16th Division to take up their posts.
"Master, can they listen to what you say?"
After Liu Xin and the four of them left, Li Shuzheng came to Leng Jie's side and asked lightly.
"I hope they don't think I'm nosy, and I'm doing it for their good." As for whether a few people listened to it, Leng Jie didn't know the bottom.
"In the big dye vat of the national mansion, it is rare to see someone like you." Although Li Shuzheng has worked with Leng Jie for less than a year, he has also been impressed by Leng Jie during this time.
Don't look at Li Shu, who graduated from Lu University, and Leng Jie just studied in Whampoa, and even went to Lu University to audit for a few months before leaving the school.
On the contrary, Leng Jie's sensitivity to the battlefield is better than that of him, who has been deeply educated, there is no way, he can only admit that his skills are inferior to others in the end, and it is no wonder that the other party can be promoted from a platoon commander to an acting division commander in three years.
At this time, Leng Jie can be described as Mu Xiu Yulin, and he doesn't know where he can go, do he want to witness the birth of a famous general?
"I just want to be a pure soldier. And Qingyuan (Li Shuzheng's character): Don't you think that your sentence just now is a big problem in itself? Leng Jie asked rhetorically.
"What's the problem?" Li Shuzheng was stunned.
"It's rare to see people like me, isn't that the biggest problem? Shouldn't it be common like me to be good for the whole government? ”
Li Shuzheng was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded heavily, and then couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that this is not the case." ”
"If that's not the case, we need to change them!"
