The preparatory battalion was stationed in this way for more than a month of training, during which time no orders came from the division headquarters, but only routine allocation of military salaries and rations.

At the same time, the vicinity of the headquarters of the 200th Division became more and more lively.

Training was carried out every day in the preparatory camp, and the live firing had almost wiped out all the ammunition stored in the preparatory battalion, and the soldiers were able to eat very well at every meal while training hard.

The guys in the cooking class raised the big fat pigs fat and strong, and the chickens have been able to start laying eggs, although the preparation camp cannot guarantee one egg per person, but scrambled eggs, each class can still get a large plate.

The training is tight, the dinner table is tight, it is the current state of preparation camp training, and the training life is relatively monotonous, but it can be regarded as fulfilling. Zhang Wei is the same, supervising training in the camp every day, repeating the same things.

In the blink of an eye, it was already August, and it had been a while since the battalion was ready to return to the establishment, and at this time, the madman Qiu came back.

That's right, it is the commander of the assault column of the 200th Division, who has been relieved, and the current deputy commander of the 200th Division, Qiu Luozi.

Madman Qiu had just retreated from the battlefield in southern Henan, and he didn't bring back many troops, and he followed his chariot battalion and armored vehicle units to fight bloody battles with the Japanese army in the southern Henan region, and while withstanding the Japanese army, he also suffered heavy losses himself.

Before retreating, Qiu was ordered to hand over the remaining chariot troops to the south of Huzong to strengthen the river defenses.

Apart from the guard unit and the original column headquarters, no other troops returned with him. In accordance with the old rules, Qiu Madman reported to Du Yuming, handed over various procedures, and officially returned to the system of the 200th Division as the deputy commander of the 200th Division.

After the debriefing and handover, Qiu Maniac immediately summoned Zhang Wei.

The two supported each other in the Battle of Lanfeng, Qiu Maniac commanded very easily, and Zhang Wei thought he was passing.

Zhang Wei also learned the news of the return of the madman Qiu when the summoned order came. The order came quite urgently, Zhang Wei's training has been a bit boring recently, and it was not bad to go to the division headquarters, and he quickly arrived at the division headquarters.

Madman Qiu is no longer the commander of the column, but the deputy commander of the 200th Division. Zhang Wei's name for him also changed.

"Report, deputy division, Zhang Wei, commander of the preparatory battalion, was ordered to report!"

"Enter!" Zhang Wei was called into the office, and after two months, Zhang Wei saw the madman Qiu again.

Qiu Maniac's face was thin and not very energetic, and it took him a lot of effort to command the chariot troops to fight on the battlefield in southern Henan, but Qiu Maniac's mood didn't seem to speak, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Zhang Wei, you are here, come, sit, how is your army lately" Madman Qiu poured a cup of tea for Zhang Wei, his words were full of joy, and Zhang Wei sat down in frustration.

Looking at this posture, Qiu Maniac is in a good mood.

Zhang Wei was not polite, stopped and sat down.

"Report to the commander, after the officers and men of the whole battalion have rested, they will train day and night, and they will wait for the rest of their lives, just waiting to go to the battlefield again and fight to the death with the Japanese invaders."

Zhang Wei said a lot of bold words, to put it bluntly, it is a cliché, but in front of the chief, especially the commander whose rank is much higher than himself, it is best to use this kind of words.

"Don't say it's useless! Take a sip of tea and tell me about the current strength and situation of your battalion!" Madman Qiu's interest seemed to be very high, and he scolded Zhang Wei with a smile.

Zhang Wei listened to Qiu Madman let him talk about the strength of the whole battalion, and at first glance, there was something, and Qiu Madman was quite a little happy in tone, which made Zhang Wei a little confused, you know, with Qiu Madman's character, it is common to be angry when shipping goods, and the nickname of "madman" is not given in vain.

"Sir, there are more than 300 officers and soldiers in my preparation battalion, basically all of them are soldiers who were defeated in this Lanfeng battle, this battle, our battalion is disabled, the soldiers' spirit and physique are very good, and the training has not stopped recently."

"That's it...... Weapons, ammunition and recruits will be replenished in the future. Zhang Wei told the current situation of the preparation camp to Qiu Maniac, and focused on the question of not adding to it.

Madman Qiu smiled, and the conversation changed. "Of course there is no supplement, that's because our stall is going to expand again, but don't worry, the supplement is indispensable to yours."

"Expand? Expansion? Zhang Wei asked.

Madman Qiu nodded, his eyes suddenly becoming fierce.

"Most of the people in the division department know about this, you are not directly stationed in the division headquarters, it is normal not to know, when I was on the road, Chief Du sent a telegram to me, tell you, this time not only the stall will be expanded, but also the stall will be turned into a storefront, and the whole division will soon be reorganized and expanded into an army."

"Army?" Zhang Wei has memories of his previous life, of course, he knows that these 200 divisions are the predecessor of the Fifth Army, so he has long been mentally prepared, but in front of Qiu Maniac, he still has to make enough "surprise" looks.

"That's right, the establishment and the new number are coming down soon, it is a type A attack army, a unique type of attack army in the country, with tanks and heavy artillery!"

"That's a good thing, there are more than 20,000 people in our division, and if the division number is indecent, it will be changed to an army, and it will be easier for the troops to fight." Zhang Wei said with joy on his face.

"Therefore, the supplement is indispensable for you, Chief Du is hoarding materials and equipment, and will allocate them for use when he is ready to expand."

After Madman Qiu finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence......

"Zhang Wei, the reorganization of the whole division is bound to make a big move, and the troops directly under the division will also change, what are your plans?"

Zhang Wei didn't answer immediately, Qiu Maniac's words are obvious, that means not to continue to mix with him, although Qiu Maniac is in the position of major general and deputy division commander, but in the 200 division system, his small forces, or small factions, have not been established, and he himself is half an outsider.

Talking about factions and pulling relationships is the most important tradition, and Qiu Maniac, including Zhang Wei, is not exempt from vulgarity, because when you enter this military system that talks about factions and academic status, you are already unable to avoid vulgarity.

Obeying this kind of rule, in a sense, is also for better fighting devils.

The rules are established by everyone, whoever breaks the rules first will be eliminated, like Zhang Wei, who was born in Huangpu, while getting the yellow jacket, he must also abide by the rules in the army.

Not only the central army, but also the local army and miscellaneous troops, the degree of dependence on relations, geography and even blood ties is probably several times that of the central army troops.

"Report to the chief, did you bring out the lowly position, or is it the old saying, the lowly position will fight bravely to kill the enemy, follow you, follow Chief Du." Zhang Wei stood up and replied.

The relationship between Chief Du and Chief Qiu is good now, and it just so happens that Zhang Wei was brought out by the madman Qiu, and Zhang Wei's relationship with the two commanders at the same time is okay, he is just a battalion commander.

When necessary, you should still show your loyalty and have a good relationship with Du Qiu's two bigwigs, so that your troops can not worry about eating and drinking, and only then can you kill devils more fiercely.

"Good! The army is about to be expanded, and the specific plan has been designated by the Military Commission, and the details are jointly discussed by me and Liao Du, the two commanders, and now the expansion is in full swing, Zhang Wei, as long as you work hard and fight bravely, you will definitely be able to achieve great ambitions! ”
