The Central News Agency's battlefield report on the Third Division was very successful, fully presenting the cruelty and hardship of the battlefield, the enthusiasm of the people in the rear for joining the army was obviously high, and the businessmen suddenly donated more money and materials;

Of course, as the focus of the report, although there is no photo of He Jianye, Li Jing still used a lot of space to introduce this 25-year-old colonel officer; The outstanding military school experience and outstanding military exploits have made the eyes of the Chinese people shine!

The effect of the report made the bigwigs of the military commissar very satisfied, and in Chiang Kai-shek's office, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and other bigwigs were all there, discussing new plans; Chiang Kai-shek was not good at this, he always liked to interfere in the battle plans of the front, ignoring the pleas of the front-line commanders, and often issued some unrealistic orders, and the generals of the front line must unconditionally carry out his orders if they want to gain trust; This alone caused many soldiers of the national army to die innocently on the battlefield.

"Although the just-ended Jinguan Bridge made the 106th Division pay a heavy price, our Eighth Army and the 64th Army suffered heavy casualties, and the 74th Army also suffered many casualties when attacking Mahuiling, and the supplementary troops prepared for the Eighth Army were transferred to the 74th Army, and now the Eighth Army and the 64th Army have little effect on the defensive line on the first line of Niutou Mountain; I suggest withdrawing and rectifying! He Yingqin is making suggestions;

"Well, let's let the Eighth Army withdraw and reorganize first; If the 64th Army persists for a while, the transfer of two armies from the front line at once will give Boling a headache! "Chiang Kai-shek still has to be kind to his descendants, and the first thing he thinks of is to let the Third Division of the Central Army withdraw to make up for it;

"In addition, the 2nd Reserve Division has been transferred back to Guizhou, and the 11th Reserve Division has been revoked, whether to readjust the establishment of the Eighth Army;" He Yingqin looked at the old man's face and asked,

"Well, what are the plans of your military administration?" Chiang Kai-shek asked,

"The plan is to form a new infantry division, tentatively numbered as the 197th Division, and the division commander will be approved by the chairman!" He Yingqin said,

"Well, Li Yutang is a good sir, and it is feasible to form a new infantry division to restore the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Army; Lest the habit of being in the wrong place drag down the descendants of our Central Army. Chiang Kai-shek nodded,

"Headmaster, the Third Division of the Eighth Army has fought from Jiujiang to the present, this is the list of combat merits submitted by the Eighth Army and the Ninth War Zone;" He Yingqin submitted a list of meritorious soldiers in a timely manner;

There is no doubt that under He Yingqin's arrangement, He Jianye is the first in line; Under a series of combat missions, there were tragic sacrifices and exploits. Chiang Kai-shek, who was watching, nodded!

"Yes, not afraid of death, not sparing your life! Worthy of my top student in Whampoa! Well? Chiang Kai-shek seemed to remember something, turned his head and asked,

"Yunong, last time you reported that He Jianye was suspicious of defecting to the enemy; Is the investigation clear? Chiang Kai-shek turned his head and asked Dai Li,

"Principal, the investigation is clear, there is no evidence to prove that He Jianye defected to the enemy, and on the Jiujiang battlefield this time, there are two devil-level officers killed by He Jianye under the command of the 16th Regiment, as for Zhongzuo and Shaozuo, there are too many to list, and the devils killed by the officers and soldiers led by him are estimated to be enough for the two devil brigades! All these are enough to prove that He Jianye does not have the possibility of defecting to the enemy. I don't think the devil is so generous, and he uses the lives of so many devils to train him as a colonel officer. Dai Li's head was sweating, and he said carefully;

"Well, let's give a commendation together! I never have too many officers in the team who can fight! Although he is a little younger, I think He Jianye is still worth cultivating, so the 197th Division is tentatively designated as the B division, which is formed by He Jianye with his own regiment as the backbone, and the military rank is tentatively set as a regimental major general. Chiang Kai-shek was very happy, as his own Whampoa student, he was very pleased to have a few officers who were good at fighting tough battles!

"Isn't it time to think about it? Although He Jianye has a lot of military achievements, the 25-year-old division commander of the real power major general is still too early, and it is impossible to directly promote to army commander if he makes new contributions later! Chen Cheng reminded beside him,

Since the Xi'an Incident, Chen Cheng has not dealt with He Yingqin, no matter whether He Jianye offended him or not, but as long as the people He Yingqin wants to promote are in the Central Army, they must be controlled; These political tasks are often not considered in the best interests of the country, and the first consideration is their own interests, and many of their subordinates are not even regimental commanders at this age; If He Yingqin is allowed to make He Jianye a major general and division commander, then he will lose face in the Central Army of the Huangpu lineage, and many wait-and-see factions will have to reconsider whether to defect to He Yingqin.

"Rhetoric, what do you suggest?" Chiang Kai-shek asked,

"Principal, the students suggested that Ding Bingquan, the current commander of the Changsha garrison, be appointed as the commander of the 197th Division, he graduated from the first phase of Huangpu, participated in the Northern Expedition, and made military achievements on the battlefield of suppressing the Communist Party, and studied in the special training class of the Army University for two periods; There is no problem with qualifications, and it is more convincing to the division commanders in the army! Chen Cheng had an expression of consideration for the overall situation,

"Respectfully, the consideration of rhetoric is very correct! After all, He Jianye is still a little younger, and he can't take too big a step, so think again! Chiang Kai-shek finally chose Chen Cheng's suggestion and reversed his decision;

"What do you think of this young officer? There aren't many Whampoa disciples who can fight like this! We can't let these students chill their hearts! Chiang Kai-shek said,

Chiang Kai-shek also knew that when it came to the factional issue of the Central Army's descendants, he had to make a decision, and since he had chosen Chen Cheng as the key training object, he had to support the relevant decisions! But we can't be too cold to the hearts of the old-fashioned central army leaders like He Yingqin, in short, they must be taken care of; As the chairman of the Military Commission, he can't interfere too much in how he fights on the battlefield, but the internal balance must be controlled;

"He Jianye is He Yingqin's niece and son-in-law, and it is impossible to win over; But according to the old man's intentions, he must be rewarded, and it seems that the old man still likes him very much, and the reward is still necessary; Then simply let him get out of the Central Army and go to the locality, so it will not be so easy to enter the old man's field of vision; In this way, there will be fewer and fewer people under He Yingqin's hands who can struggle! Chen Cheng thought silently in his heart;

"Headmaster, now the Japanese army is attacking all the way south from Jiujiang; Now that we are in a confrontation with the Japanese army around Mahuiling, I suggest that we take precautions; Set up a garrison headquarters in Nanchang, which belongs to the Ninth Theater, and prepare early for the follow-up defense of the Japanese army attacking Nanchang! Chen Cheng suggested,

Nanchang is the political and cultural center of Jiangxi, and in October 1928, Chiang Kai-shek came to Nanchang in person to direct the "suppression of bandits". Therefore, the Nanchang Library was changed to "Nanchang Xingying, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Army and Air Force", which was the headquarters of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to suppress bandits, and was called the "second capital" by the people of the time. In 1939, due to the severe form of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Nanchang Nationalist Government moved to Chongqing, and the Nanchang Nationalist Government ended its historical mission.

Now in Nanchang City, the garrison headquarters will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Theater of Operations, according to the current establishment; At most, even if it is a brigade-level establishment, it does not have as many troops as a normal infantry brigade, a city defense regiment and a military police regiment plus the headquarters; And the most important thing is that as long as He Jianye becomes the commander of the garrison, he will leave the Central Military lineage, and the most important thing is that the troops in Xue Yue's hands are insufficient now, and it is impossible to give He Jianye more troops and ordnance to expand;
