It stands to reason that He Jianye's issue of the promotion of a small colonel and regimental commander should not be submitted to the chairman of the Central Military Commission for adjudication, but this is a struggle between the old and new factions of the Central Army, and this is a very serious issue; Chiang Kai-shek also had to intervene; In the end, under He Yingqin's efforts, after Chiang Kai-shek agreed with Chen Cheng's opinion, he didn't want to put a young and capable Whampoa general in the local area as an idle garrison commander; A strange appointment has come down!

The Nanchang Garrison Command was formed, with battalions as units, with each battalion having four infantry companies, a machine gun company, a mortar platoon, a transport platoon, a communications platoon, and a reconnaissance platoon. Even the following three-three system, plus blasting, transportation and other classes, a company of about 260 people. The garrison command is composed of five battalions and a gendarmerie (battalion level), and the entire garrison command has a strength of 8,000 troops, and He Jianye wears the rank of colonel as the garrison commander.

On September 13, 1938, a new order was issued, ordering the Eighth Army to hand over the defense to the 4th Army and then go to Pingjiang for training and accept new reinforcements. At this time, the 15th Division was out of command, and the newly established 197th Division was transferred to the 8th Army.

After receiving the order, the entire Third Division had already retreated from Niutoushan and assembled in the area of Chencun, where the division headquarters was located; Officers above the regimental level, having received the notice of the meeting, were already on their way to the division headquarters;

At the headquarters of the Third Division, Zhao Xitian looked depressed and held the order issued by the war zone, and his brows were furrowed and he never relaxed;

"What a strange order! The Third Division had already suffered heavy losses this time, and it could not restore its combat effectiveness unless it carried out a major recuperation, but it also transferred away our regimental commander who was the most capable of fighting, and you said that it is also a good thing to be transferred to other Central Army units to be promoted to one level, after all, you will not see you when you look up, and you will be able to take care of each other on the battlefield in the future, so what does it mean to take up the post of garrison commander in Nanchang? Zhao Xitian looked like someone owed money and didn't pay it back, and asked Zhu Xilin, the chief of staff;

"Division commander, the order for the war zone has been given; Let's think about how to rebuild the 16th Regiment! Besides, He Jianye has good things in his hands, can he get them? Zhu Xilin reminded,

"Well, you're talking about his captured Japanese artillery battalion!" Zhao Xitian said, Zhu Xilin didn't speak, and nodded;

"That's not easy! The equipment was not given by the division headquarters, nor by the war zone, but by the Japanese who were captured by themselves; How? Zhao Xitian asked,

"Teacher, you see, He Jianye has been in our division for so long, so he always has some feelings! He is going to Nanchang to set up a garrison headquarters, and it is estimated that there are still things that are missing, and we will see if we can exchange them with something. Mountain artillery and field artillery shells are easy to handle, but artillery is difficult, and now the war is so difficult that even the 74th Army has not replenished its artillery for a long time, and our division has never had formed artillery, except for mortars, of course. Zhu Xilin said,

"Okay, you take someone out to watch it, He Jianye will bring him in first when he arrives, and let the other heads of the regiment wait; Let's talk to him first! Zhao Xitian nodded and said,

After a bag of cigarettes, the noisy sound outside the division headquarters came to the division headquarters, and these brigade and regiment commanders didn't understand that they were going to retreat, what kind of meeting was there! What's the matter with waiting until you get to Pingjiang to say no?

"Commander, He Jianye is here; Let him in? Zhu Xilin came in and asked,

"Well, let him in!" Zhao Xitian nodded,

After the "division commander" entered the door, He Jianye gave a standard military salute, and now on the way to retreat, He Jianye finally changed into the colonel's regular uniform, and he looked very handsome in a straight military uniform, except for being a little thin;

"Brother He! Congratulations! Zhao Xitian smiled and motioned for He Jianye to sit down;

"Guard, pour water!" After Zhao Xitian instructed the guards, he turned his head and continued to say to He Jianye,

"Brother He! It's time to change your name to Commander He! Congratulations! Zhao Xitian said,

"Commander, what do you mean by this?" He Jianye didn't know about the new appointment until now, and looked at Zhao Xitian blankly;

"Oh! This is an appointment from the Theater Command, given to you; Take a look first! Zhao Xitian handed over a telegram,

He Jianye took the telegram suspiciously and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at his face, the more wrong he felt; Finally finished reading it, He Jianye, who had a wry smile on his face, said to Zhao Xitian: "Commander, don't congratulate; Garrison Commander? It sounds good, but don't you know what it actually is? Soldiers, weapons, supplies, and everything else, not to mention comparing with the Central Army; It's not comparable to the local troops in the war zone! Always come last. Ay! ”

He Jianye let out a long sigh and returned the telegram to Zhao Xitian!

"Brother! This is the consideration of the theater of operations and the military commission, according to the relationship between the elder brother; Isn't it a very simple thing to return to the Central Army? Besides, you have the relationship of the Minister of Military Affairs, can there be less supplies? Zhao Xitian comforted a few words, seeing that He Jianye didn't squeak, Zhao Xitian knew that the two sides only had dry goods next;

"Brother He, the Ming people don't talk about dark flowers, the main reason for calling you over is to convey the new appointment of the theater command to you, and there is also the old brother! You see that you have taken up the post of garrison commander in Nanchang, and I am afraid that your artillery battalion will not play much role, do you think you can leave it to our third division? Zhao Xitian spoke directly,

"Division commander, I've been in the Third Division for so long; It stands to reason that the third division is also half of my mother's family, and it stands to reason that my mother's family has to give some dowry! I didn't hear that I had to post it upside down! He Jianye asked suspiciously,

"Brother, your 16th Regiment is now in line with the personnel of our division! You've got it all, it's not a dowry! Besides, it turns out that your regiment is the regiment with the largest number of troops in our division, and they are about to catch up with a brigade, so it's not for nothing! "Zhao Xitian has a posture you know;

"Division commander, the equipment of the artillery battalion can be given to you, but people can't!" He Jianye said directly,

"Okay, you need equipment, I don't want people!" It's good to have artillery, but as for artillery, isn't it easy to train? Zhao Xitian laughed directly;

"But, I have conditions!" He Jianye said,

"What conditions, even if you mention it, what you can meet must be satisfied! But the elder brother also knows what the situation of the third division is now, don't embarrass the elder brother. Zhao Xitian said,

"I want all the wounded soldiers of the Third Division in De'an and Nanchang to be mine after they recover!" He Jianye said,

"Brother He, you caught a chicken and want to change it for my donkey! Those wounded soldiers are the backbone of our Third Division after they are built! This can't work, you change it, or do you want to give you some money? Zhao Xitian said,

"Teacher, in this world, there are some things that money can't buy! I sent my daughter away at that time, teacher, give me some! He Jianye said,

"The wounded soldiers of your original 16th Regiment belong to you, and I can't do anything else!" Zhao Xitian thought for a long time and said,

According to the regulations, all the wounded soldiers of the Third Division should be built after they recover from their injuries, and the wounded soldiers of the original 16th Regiment were also from the 3rd Division, which had little to do with He Jianye and belonged to the new 16th Regiment; That's why Zhao Xitian is so embarrassed!

"That's okay, thank you, Commander; The wounded soldiers of the original 16th Regiment belong to me, and the equipment of the artillery battalion belongs to you; I won't take it with me when I leave, just find someone to receive it, division commander, and the procedures for wounded soldiers?? He Jianye asked,

"Let the Chief of Staff take you there!" Zhao Xitian turned his head and asked Zhu Xilin to take He Jianye to handle the handover!

He Jianye followed Zhu Xilin out of the division headquarters, and the brigade commanders and regiment commanders next to him watched the two of them leave in surprise, and then walked into the division headquarters together!
