Chapter 162: Choice (1)

The person who came was none other than Tian Guanwu, the commander of the Tongling garrison.

Many people are not familiar with this name.

This is also normal, because Tian Guanwu is not a general of the central department, but a general of the Sichuan army Liu Xiang.

At present, he is serving as the commander of the 13th Independent Brigade of the 21st Army and the commander of the Tongling garrison, and his unit is responsible for the line from Digang to Tongling in Sanshan Town as a river defense.

Tian Guanwu did not come alone, but brought his wife, Ms. Yu Huiru, with him.

Strictly speaking, Tian Guanwu is not a Sichuan army, because he is a native of Yunnan.

However, because of the failure of uniting Hu Ruoyu and Zhang Ruji to reverse the dragon (Long Yun), he retreated to Sichuan and took refuge in Liu Wenhui of the Sichuan army.

Later, Liu Wenhui was defeated by Liu Xiang, and he became Liu Xiang's subordinate.

As soon as he came to the station of the Leng Jie Department, Tian Guanwu looked envious, "The equipment of the Second Regiment is really good, there are both official rifles and Devil's Type 38 rifles, and there are also artillery."

The equipment of this regiment is better than that of Lao Tzu's brigade. ”

"Are you still here? Do you think this Leng Jie will be willing to hand over the army to you? Most of the other party's army is also the Central Army, and will the Sichuan Army come? Yu Huiru glanced at her husband.

She didn't know what the other party thought, and she actually planned to win over Leng Jiebu.

"How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try? This Leng Jie is now uncared for.

Such a great achievement, led the army out of Nanjing, killed several Japanese generals, and captured the wing flag.

The Central Army didn't care about the officers who could fight like this. Qiu Qingquan and Liao Yaoxiang were both commended, but this Leng Jie was left out in the cold.

It can be seen that this group of people in Whampoa is too small.

At this time, if I reciprocate, maybe I can win it over? If these thousands of elite soldiers joined, the army of the husband would definitely be able to go to the next level. Tian Guanwu said.

Don't look at what Tian Guanwu said, but Yu Huiru, who is the person next to him, knows that her husband is very weak-hearted.

Although he knew that the odds were high, Tian Guanwu also wanted to try it.

Because the Nationalist Government has decided to merge the 12th Independent Brigade of the Sichuan Army and the 13th Independent Brigade of Tian Guanwu into the new 7th Division, and he is the division commander.

Of course, this order has not yet been officially issued, but it is already being prepared.

The reason why he wanted to try it was because Leng Jie's troops were strong enough, not only were they strong in combat, they were troops that could face the Japanese army, and the soldiers under his command were all elite veterans.

At present, the Second Regiment is all veterans who broke through from the Battle of Nanjing, and many of them are even veterans of the Battle of Songhu.

At present, there are 3,000 troops in the army alone, and hundreds of wounded soldiers are still recuperating.

Of course, he also knew that during this period of time, many people left the Second Regiment and returned to their original units, including those of the Guangdong Army, the Central Army and the Northeast Army.

And it is well-equipped, which is not comparable to the 13th separate brigade of Tian Guanwu.

However, there is another reason for Tian Guanwu to come, Leng Jie is from Sichuan, and he is currently excluded by the generals of the central system.

"Commander Tian? Why didn't you say anything before you came? Leng is also going to meet you. Seeing that Tian Guanwu came to the door in person, Leng Jie was a little surprised, but his attitude was very enthusiastic.

The reason why Leng Jie is so enthusiastic is that the Sichuan army is the unit that takes the most care of him and his troops after he breaks through.

When the troops led by him retreated to the commander, it was also the station provided to him by Tian Guanwu, that is, Henggang, which is located south of Tongling City, and sent a lot of food.

Of course, there is a shortage of medicines, because the five departments of the Sichuan Army Tianguan are miscellaneous brands, and the treatment is naturally a little poor.

"Xinghua is polite, now they are all neighbors, there is no need to be so polite." Tian Guanwu smiled, he could win over the relationship between the two, and when he entered the door, after seeing the soldiers of the Second Regiment, he couldn't help but praise, "Xinghua, your soldiers are very good." ”

In this era, there is a word before Leng Jie, called Xinghua, it is estimated that his parents hope that he can revive China.

"Commander Tian has a good reputation!" Leng Jie smiled.

For the soldiers under his command, Leng Jie is still very confident.

During this time, in addition to the reorganization, it is to train the soldiers' military appearance, and it is hoped that this unit can be different from the military appearance of soldiers in other national armies.

He didn't want his soldiers to become a troop that bullied men and women and preyed on the common people.

Soon, Leng Jie brought Tian Guanwu to his regiment headquarters and asked someone to make some tea and bring it up.

The regimental headquarters of the Second Teaching Regiment was borrowed by a local squire, and Leng Jie originally planned to give money, but the squire took the initiative to give up the house when he learned that the Second Teaching Regiment had killed a lot of devils in Nanjing.

The regimental headquarters was naturally on the street, and the headquarters of the 2nd Teaching Regiment was outside the street, and some temporary houses were built for temporary use.

"Xinghua, what difficulties do you have to tell Tian now, Tian may not be able to help if it is too big, but as long as it can be helped, Tian will definitely do his best." After Tian Guanwu drank tea, he planned to get to the point, but he adopted a roundabout tactic.

"Commander Tian, the rest is not a big problem, it is medicine, I don't know... Seeing Tian Guanwu's embarrassed face, Leng Jie immediately said, "Commander Tian, in terms of medicines, Leng can buy them with money." ”

The things brought back from Nanjing are basically there, dozens of boxes of large and small.

In addition to some precious books, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc., which cannot be estimated in value, jewelry, banknotes, gold bars, etc. are estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands.

This money can be said to be insignificant to those who were robbed by the Japanese army.

The value of the property looted by the Japanese army from Nanjing is estimated to be tens of thousands of times that of this, and many things are even more immeasurable by money.

Although Leng Jie couldn't get the money, the expenses of the second regiment during this period of time were all taken out of this money.

Tian Guanwu shook his head helplessly, "Xinghua, it's not that Tian doesn't want to help you." Tongling is now on the front line, and it is a small city, and the medicines are already insufficient, and your troops have so many wounded that they can't be satisfied at all. ”

Leng Jie was also a little disappointed, he also knew that what the other party said was true, if it was in Jiujiang and Nanchang, it would still be possible to buy it for some money, but not in Tongling.

"Then I don't know what happened to Commander Tian today? Let's get it straight! Leng Jie can be sure that the other party came to the door, not just to come and see, because there is no need for this.

Tian Guanwu looked around and hesitated for a moment.

Leng Jie immediately understood, and motioned for the idlers and others to leave, leaving only Liu Xin and Wang Guangming.

"Commander Tian can speak!"

Tian Guanwu pondered for a moment, and then said, "Actually, Tian Mou came this time, and he really has important things to discuss with Xinghua.

Maybe Xinghua doesn't know that Tian's independent 13th Brigade will soon be combined with the Duli 12th Brigade into a division, and Tian will serve as the division commander.

I came to the door today to invite Xinghua to join Tian's army. Tian can not only let Xinghua continue to command and teach the Second Regiment, but also give Xinghua the post of colonel and deputy brigade commander. ”
