1110. Reward for meritorious deeds, unsuccessful

As soon as the captain of the Japanese army died, the devils, who were already close to collapse, panicked and scurried around, hoping to escape.

But at this time, the 152nd regiment will not let the devils escape, since the three circles outside the capital are surrounded by water, it is natural to kill all the devils.

In the end, a few devil prisoners were caught, and the devils took the initiative to surrender, which is a rare phenomenon, which shows that there are now more recruits in the Japanese army.

Originally, the 33rd Division was a garrison division that had just been formed last year, and it was temporarily pulled to the northern Jiangxi region to guard, and it happened that the main force of the Japanese army was transferred to Wuhan to fight the Battle of Zaoyi, so only these troops were left here to garrison.

However, the Chinese army in northern Jiangxi, especially the 74th Army is the elite of the Central Army, the 70th Army is the model army of the Hunan Army, the 19th Group Army is the starting force of the civil engineering department, and the 32nd and 49th armies of the Northeast Army are all good.

In addition, the Yunnan troops of the 58th and 60th armies, the 72nd army and other Sichuan troops are not bad, and such a powerful force, one of the relatively most elite units in the Chinese army, will naturally make a judgment against the third-rate troops of the Japanese army.

Just after the 152nd Regiment finished sweeping the Japanese positions in Xiamaxi, they cleaned up the battlefield and emptied the arsenals, this time Liu Guangyu himself guarded the gate of the arsenal, and the three infantry battalions could not eat it privately.

Liu Guangyu personally sat on the ground and divided the spoils, and after sharing the good things in the arsenal, the three battalions were divided up with gobble, and the three battalions were mainly used to replenish mortar shells, as well as grenades and explosives, which were very useful.

When everyone finished cleaning, they ran into the 151st Regiment of the 51st Division, which had retreated, and the Japanese army in front of them really got the help of reinforcements from Meiling Nanchang and began to counterattack.

Everyone retreated all the way to Fengxin City, and the Japanese army did not chase after them, but later some devils who chased fiercely were pinned up and down by the 57th Division and the 32nd Army, killing a group of devils.

The summer offensive in northern Jiangxi finally came to an end, and the 74th Army had the best record, and the 51st Division in the 74th Army benefited the most, taking Fengxincheng and chasing down a group of Japanese troops.

The 57th and 58th divisions ran like dogs in a roundabout way, but in the end they got a little oil and water, and the 152nd regiment in the 51st division fought the most, and the third battalion in the regiment had the best results.

The dirty work that the soldiers were unwilling to do now has become a brilliant achievement, and those troops who only care about pursuing forward have not only failed to catch any oil and water, but have also become the background of the third battalion.

As a direct subordinate unit of the Military Commission, the 74th Army did not guard specific cities and ponds, and as a strategic mobile force in the northern Jiangxi region of the Ninth Theater, it had now withdrawn from Fengxin, and after handing over Fengxin to the 32nd Army, it still returned to the Shanggao garrison for repairs.

After the results were reported, the 3rd Battalion received a commendation from the whole battalion, and in addition to a cash reward for the shooting down of an airplane and the capture of a few cannons, each soldier received a reward of 20 yuan.

Follow Brother Dog to have meat to eat, this unsightly sentence spread in the regiment, and Luo Zhicheng was also proposed to be the deputy commander of the 152nd Regiment and the commander of the third battalion, and his military rank was promoted to one level, lieutenant colonel.

However, it was only proposed in advance, and the final appointment has not been made, nor has it been said whether it will be rejected or not, or there is no follow-up.

This made Liu Guangyu and the soldiers of the third battalion very dissatisfied, feeling that Luo Zhicheng was too much of a loss, and he had won so many battles that he didn't even approve the deputy regiment commander.

However, Luo Zhicheng didn't feel anything by himself, although this half level is a very critical half level, which is to lay a solid foundation for being promoted to regiment commander in the future, and when competing with the other two battalion commanders, he will have an extra half of his position.

Luo Zhicheng still feels that he is too young, compared to the first battalion commander Chen Chuanjun in his early thirties, and the second battalion commander Chang Demao in his thirties, he Luo Zhicheng is only twenty-three years old this year.

At this age, many people in the army are just platoon commanders or company commanders, and he is already very satisfied that he can be a battalion commander, and the key is to bring his old brothers with him.

But Liu Guangyu doesn't think so, age is not the main problem, looking at Commander Wang and Division Commander Li, they are both young heroes, and they both became battalion commanders and regiment commanders in their twenties.

However, their eras were different, and when they caught up with the rapid expansion of the whole army of the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, the students from the first to the sixth phase of Huangpu were the backbone of the Central Army.

With the victory of the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, when the thousands of Huangpu Army rapidly expanded to tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Central Army, there was an urgent shortage of middle- and lower-level officers.

There were many people who became battalion commanders and regiment commanders in their twenties, such as General Sun Yuanliang, who became a regiment commander at the age of 22, General Fan Hanjie who became a division commander at the age of 30, and Li Zhilong who became a lieutenant general at the age of 29.

Although the Anti-Japanese War is now flourishing and the army is expanding on a large scale, most of the officers who have reached the regiment commander level are sitting by those old qualifications.

Because when it comes to the appointment of the regiment commander, it must be approved by the Military Commission, which is much more difficult, and in addition to the faction and combat exploits of the Military Commission, age is also a factor to consider.

Speaking of the officers at the regiment commander level, it is difficult to die in battle, so there are not many vacancies, while the number of officers below the battalion commander level is very large, so the gap is very large.

This gave a large number of young and combat-oriented officers the opportunity, and people like Luo Zhicheng could quickly rise from platoon commander all the way to battalion commander.

But it is becoming more and more difficult to go up to the next level or half a level, not only because of the merits of the war, but more because of the game between factions and small factions within the army and division.

Chen Chuanjun, like Liu Guangyu, is a descendant of Zhang Lingwu and has been promoted all the time, so Liu Guangyu regards Chen Chuanjun as a potential competitor from the bottom of his bones.

He didn't want Chen Chuanjun to become the deputy regiment commander, and he would kick him away and replace him directly in the future, but Chen Chuanjun's qualifications were there, and he was the most senior of the three battalion commanders, almost the same level as the current regiment commander Liu Guangyu.

Therefore, the meaning of the above, especially the meaning that Zhang Lingwu gave to Commander Wang Yaozu, hopes that Chen Chuanjun will go up as soon as possible, even if it is a deputy regiment.

Chang Demao is a little less qualified than Chen Chuanjun, but he is also better than Luo Zhicheng, he is in the middle, he has no desire for the time being, and the faction behind him belongs to the Li Tianxia faction.

But Li Tianxia is currently the division commander, and the county officials are not as good as the current management, and Chang Demao, who has no desires and desires on the surface, is likely to win in the end, or when Luo Zhicheng and Chen Chuanjun compete with each other, he, the "fisherman", will benefit.

And Luo Zhicheng, the youngest and the least qualified, everyone is in the fourth and fifth phases of Huangpu, and at least there are seven phases, and he, who is from the eleventh phase of Huangpu, can't speak at all.

So at present, only Liu Guangyu is very positive about Luo Zhicheng and asked him to be the deputy head of the regiment, anyway, Luo Zhicheng is his old subordinate brother, who knows the roots and has similar tastes, and cooperates very tacitly.

In addition, Luo Zhicheng is now the deputy head of the regiment, he is no threat to him, he is a very safe deputy, and he can also block several potential competitors.
