Chapter 168: Appointment (3)

"Sir... Sir... ”

Early in the morning, when Leng Jie was pondering a set of training methods for the troops, Daniel Zhang's voice came from outside, looking very anxious.

Since Han Bin was fine, for Daniel Zhang, Leng Jie also forgiven.

Seeing Daniel Zhang in a hurry, Leng Jie frowned slightly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Sir, someone from the Ministry of Military Affairs has arrived, bringing you and the second regiment of the commander." Daniel Zhang gasped and explained.

Soon, a colonel came to the regimental headquarters of the 2nd Regiment of Teaching.

After hearing the order read out by the colonel, Leng Jie's hanging heart also settled.

The main content of the order is to teach the Second Regiment to be reorganized into the 108th Regiment of the 108th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army from now on, with Leng Jie as the lieutenant colonel and to go to Nanchang for reorganization and return to the team from now on.

However, in the order, the establishment of 3 infantry battalions and 1 baggage battalion of the Leng Jie Department was not recognized, but a quota of 2,500 people was given.

This number has exceeded the average infantry regiment, which can be regarded as a reinforced regiment, but it is not particularly conspicuous.

And the rest, plus more than a thousand wounded soldiers, were incorporated into the regiment.

This means that the 54th Brigade was expanded on the basis of Leng Jie's Second Teaching Regiment, and Leng Jie was only appointed as a lieutenant colonel and regimental commander.

But those who contributed to the breakthrough were still promoted, including Chen Wei became the deputy commander of the 107th Regiment Lieutenant Colonel, Liu Xin became the lieutenant colonel chief of staff of the 108th Regiment, and Yang Yi became the infantry battalion commander of the 107th Regiment.

Of course, Daniel Zhang, Li Yu, and Xu Dong are still the commanders of the three infantry battalions of the 108th Regiment.

However, the baggage battalion was abolished and became a baggage company.

Only one artillery company is allowed, but this is nothing, and it is a big deal to split the mortar company into various battalions, and it will not affect it.

However, the deputy commander, deputy chief of staff and other officers of the 108th Regiment were all transferred from the 18th Army.

The purpose of this is obviously to completely absorb the troops in Leng Jie's hands.

On the contrary, in this way, Leng Jie's influence on the 107th regiment is not small. In a specific situation, Leng Jie is even more like a brigade commander than the brigade commander of this 54 brigade.

In addition, Leng Jie also received a third-class Yunlu Medal.

The third class can be said to be the highest among the colonel-level officers.

It seems that the effect of those two generals' knives is still good, and the civil engineering family has a big business and a lot of strokes.

As for the issue of his military rank, Leng Jie didn't care, you must know that half a year ago, he was only a lieutenant.

In half a year, from lieutenant to lieutenant colonel, it can be regarded as a god speed.

Of course, Liao Yaoxiang is even better, and he went directly from lieutenant colonel to major general.

Colonel to Major General is a hurdle, either you have someone above you, or you have seniority, or you have military exploits.

In addition to the merits of the First Battle of Nanjing, the most important thing for Liao Yaoxiang is that he wrote an article --- "The Experience of the Battle of Nanjing and the Improvement of the Nationalist Army in the Future."

This article moved the chairman, so Liao Yaoxiang was able to directly cross the colonel to the major general, and he also served as the chief of staff of the major general in the 200th Division.

And Leng Jie can become the lieutenant colonel at the age of 23, which is already good.

said that Liu Xin, Chen Wei and others are all lieutenant colonels, but the gap between them is also quite large.

"Sir, we're here to be considered bitter!"

Seeing the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Liu Xin, Daniel Zhang and others were all greatly relieved.

To be honest, they were really hesitating before they continued to follow Leng Jie, and some people even began to look for a way back, and many people had already returned to their original troops.

As soon as this order was issued, the hearts that everyone was hanging on could be regarded as being put down, and for them, the biggest problem was solved.

"Almost." Leng Jie smiled and nodded, "Tell the brothers all the good news, let us go to Nanchang within half a month to return to the building, we have to prepare to go." ”

"That's nature!"

Liu Xin and the others were all smiling, and they were all in a good mood.

The affairs of the army do not all need Leng Jie to worry about, and the matter of leaving Tongling can be taken care of by Liu Xin, the chief of staff.

Before leaving, he went to meet Tian Guanwu.

And Tian Guanwu saw Leng Jie, his expression was also a little complicated, although he knew that Leng Jie could not join his troops, but he didn't expect the other party to actually join the civil engineering department.

He already knew about Leng Jie's being reorganized into a brigade.

After all, he will soon be the commander of the major general's division, and this is not a secret news, he can still find out.

How so?

Being able to hug the big tree of the civil engineering department is indeed much better than that of the Sichuan army, at least in terms of the treatment of officers and soldiers, weapons and equipment, and it is much better.

Good birds choose trees to rest.

If Leng Jie knew, he would definitely not think so, Chen Cheng was not a good owner, but he just felt that it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

Although he was very annoyed by factional fighting, this could not be avoided in any era, especially during the Republic of China, when there were many factions.

With Leng Jie's conditions, he can't do it alone, so he can only choose one party to join.

The old club's tax police corps will be silent for a short time, and the teaching corps has no good future, so he naturally has to consider the new owner.

"Chief Tian, it seems that you know?" Seeing Tian Guanwu's expression, Leng Jie knew that the other party should know about the reorganization of his troops.

Tian Guanwu nodded, "Sort of, it's not a secret. Xinghua, inside please. ”

When he came to Tian Guanwu's headquarters, the other party asked him to make tea and bring it up. Tea is produced in Sichuan, Yunnan and other places, and Tian Guanwu, a Yunnan native, spent the first half of his life in Yunnan and Sichuan, so he must be inseparable from tea.

Even if you don't have good tea, you have to drink it all the time, otherwise you really won't get used to it.

"Xinghua, when are you going to leave?" After the hot tea was served, Tian Guanwu asked politely.

"Tomorrow." Leng Jie didn't hide it.

"In such a hurry?" Tian Guanwu was a little surprised.

"There are only about ten days left before the request for the appointment, so we have to hurry up. I guess there are some complaints within the civil engineering department, so I should rush over as soon as possible so as not to cause trouble. ”

"Then Xinghua, you are here today?" Tian Guanwu said curiously.

Leng Jie turned around, took a piece of paper from Wang Guangming's hand, and then handed it to Tian Guanwu, "Chief Tian, in the past few months, if it weren't for your help, these brothers under Leng might have really been displaced."

This little thing, even if it is a thank you gift to Chief Tian, I hope that Chief Tian will accept it. ”

Tian Guanwu took a look, stood up on the spot, his hands holding the paper couldn't help but tremble, and his face was even more excited, "Xinghua, you... ”

Leng Jie hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Chief Tian, it's useless to leave these Japanese-style weapons with us, and we will all change them to national weapons later, so these Japanese weapons are useless." For the rest, Leng can't take it out, so that's it. ”
