Chapter 320: Meeting
The construction of the station was going on day and night, and after a period of preparation, Qiu Maniac was about to convene the first meeting of the new 22nd Division.
Zhang Wei, as one of the few officers leading troops in the army now, also received a notice of the meeting, and the place of the meeting was in the temporary division headquarters that Zhang Wei led people to repair.
In the relatively modest conference room of the division headquarters, the officers gathered, Qiu Luozi stood at the front of the long table, and on the simple log wall behind Qiu Luozi, the portraits of the Supreme Leader and the Father of the Nation were hung, and a blue sky and white Japanese army flag hung high next to the portrait.
Opposite Deputy Division Commander Liao was Chai Zhao, chief of staff of the new 22nd Division, who had just taken office, and Chief of Staff Chai graduated from the sixth phase of the Huangpu Transportation Department and went to study at the Austrian Army School.
Originally, he was the commander of the engineer battalion of the lieutenant colonel of the 200th Division, but this time the original unit was reorganized, and Chief Du promoted him to the chief of staff of the newly established 22nd Division.
Interestingly, the three senior officers in the division, Commander Qiu, Commander Liao, and Commander Chai Zhaochai, not only graduated from Huangpu, but also drank foreign ink
Deputy Division Commander Liao, graduated from the Sixth Cavalry Section of Whampoa, and was later selected to study in the Mechanized Cavalry Section of the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France.
Zhang Wei organized the construction near the division headquarters, so he came very early, he sat next to Deputy Division Commander Liao, and opposite him was a middle-aged colonel officer, and later he asked Deputy Division Commander Liao to know that this colonel officer was sent to prepare to be the regiment commander, named Deng Junlin.
Deng Junlin is thirty-six years old at Chinese New Year's Eve, the fifth phase of Huangpu, and the standard age of Huangpu students as the head of the regiment.
According to Deputy Division Commander Liao, the commanders of the three combat regiments and one supplementary regiment of the New 22nd Division have all been appointed, and the situation is similar to that of Deng Junlin, all of whom are over 30 years old, senior Huangpu seniors, and colonels with sufficient qualifications.
It's just that I'm in a hurry and haven't gone to the post yet.
Knowing Deng Junlin's situation, Zhang Wei hurriedly saluted Deng Junlin and greeted him as a junior brother of Huangpu.
Deng Junlin is the same age as Qiu Madman, thirteen years older than Zhang Wei, Deng Junlin sat opposite Zhang Wei, and it was necessary to take the initiative to say hello.
There were about 20 people in the conference room, basically all the officers above the captain level of the new 22nd Division, most of them were cadres transferred by Chief Du from the old 200 Division, and after the establishment of the new 22nd Division, they would be the company commanders and battalion commanders of the regiments in the future.
In addition to these future battalion company commanders, there were also several captains and staff officers who were standing, and the division headquarters was guarded by heavily armed soldiers of the division's special service company, which was quite a bit of a front-line feeling.
Seeing that the people were almost here, Madman Qiu coughed lightly.
"Okay, everyone is here, all quiet!" Madman Qiu said with a serious face.
As soon as Madman Qiu's words came out, the officers who were whispering below all quieted down, waiting for Madman Qiu's instructions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this division has just been established, so I won't say much about it, it is newly established, the foundation is too poor, it is the current situation of this division, and I will talk about the order below."
"First, the appointment of officers will be issued soon, and all officers above the rank of captain must be ready to accept new appointments."
"Second, the supplementary recruits and equipment are about to arrive, more than 6,000 recruits drawn from the Hunan and Jiangxi Divisional Administrative Region and the Jiangxi Military Administrative Region are on the way, and it is expected to arrive in Xiangtan in five days.
"The station should also be completed as soon as possible!" Madman Qiu looked at Zhang Wei and said.
"Yes! The project has entered the final stage and will be completed soon! Zhang Wei got up and replied.
"Next, Deputy Division Commander Liao will say a few words." Madman Qiu transferred the right to speak to Deputy Division Commander Liao.
Deputy Division Commander Liao beside Zhang Wei took over the topic thrown by Qiu Qingquan with a slight Hunan accent.
"What should be said, the division seat has basically finished speaking, and now I will announce some specific measures." Qiu Maniac talked about what should be done, and the specific details and implementation measures were formulated by Deputy Division Commander Liao and Chief of Staff Chai Zhao.
"The issue of recruits mentioned in the above-mentioned division is the most urgent issue at present, and the four regiment commanders of the three combat regiments and one supplementary regiment are currently only in office, Regiment Commander Deng."
"The division headquarters will accept the task of recruiting and hand it over to Regiment Commander Deng, and the two platoons of the special service company led by Regiment Commander Deng and the existing captains, lieutenants, and officers of the division will form a receiving unit, and after accepting the recruits, the recruits will be organized into companies and platoons according to the formation, and when the remaining three regiment commanders are in place, the division will be under the command of the division and start training!"
"I understand!" Deng Junlin replied loudly.
"All kinds of weapons, equipment, and ammunition required by the division, according to the military order, the weapons and ammunition are issued by the warehouse of the military ordnance department, and the division will go to collect it by itself."
"Zhang Wei, there are not enough people now, you take your people to run tomorrow, the captains and lieutenant officers of your battalion do not have to participate in the task of receiving troops, and after the meeting is dismissed for a while, stay and receive the approval slip."
"Understood!" Zhang Wei thought to himself that this was a good job, it was much easier to receive weapons and equipment than to pick up new recruits, and the progress of the project at the station was not slow, so he would be able to free up his hands tomorrow and take people to receive weapons and equipment.
Next, Qiu Luozi and Chief of Staff Chai Zhao talked about some minor issues, and then ordered the meeting to be adjourned, the time was urgent, the troops' shelves had to be put up, the meeting started quickly, and ended early.
The other officers left one after another, but Zhang Wei remained in the conference room, waiting for the approval slips to receive the weapons and equipment.
After the officers left, only a few staff officers were left in the conference room, as well as Division Commander Qiu and Deputy Division Commander Liao, and Chief of Staff Chai also left the conference room.
In front of Zhang Wei, the two commanders, Qiu Liao, took out a list with dense characters, and the two of them signed the list one after another, and stamped the approval slip for receiving weapons from the headquarters of the new 22nd Division.
After signing, Qiu Maniac lit a cigarette and smoked it himself.
Chief Liao handed the approval slip to Zhang Wei and advised: "Zhang Wei, you take this approval slip, you have already contacted the military automobile corps, tomorrow two companies of trucks will come to the station to pick you up, you go to the ordnance department of the military department to get it, this article was approved by Chief Du, I signed and sealed it with the division, as long as it is displayed, the people of the ordnance department will let you receive the equipment." ”
Zhang Wei took the approval slip, and at a cursory glance, the dense small characters on it were all the models and quantities of weapons and equipment that needed to be collected, and he only took a cursory glance, and there were 3,000 Chinese formal rifles and 260 Czech-style light machine guns.
I didn't look at the rest, but just looking at those long strings of Arabic numerals, you can see how big an appetite a division has.
After receiving the approval slip, Zhang Wei was about to leave, but just as he was about to leave, Qiu Maniac, who was spewing clouds and fog there, cut off his cigarette and stopped him.
"Zhang Wei, you wait!"
