Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Troop Should Be Expanded

Gao Jianbing is not a greedy and vain person, but he cares very much about the fact that his troops are taken seriously, especially after such a big victory, the above affirmation is often more able to unite the morale of the army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"That's right, I'll do it when I go back, even if the chiefs don't say it, we can hold a commendation meeting by ourselves."

Li Han very much agreed with Gao Jian's proposal, in the army, the most important thing is to distinguish rewards and punishments.

Since the army has won the battle, of course, it is the promotion that should be promoted, and the reward that should be rewarded. Li Han didn't think there was anything wrong with this, in order to fight the devils, the soldiers had already put their lives into it, and Li Han didn't want them to destroy their homes and relieve their difficulties.

Since the Japanese attacking forces were repulsed, the two counties of Weichang and Fengning naturally became Li Han's territory, and Li Han on the Duolun side did not plan to continue to be polite to the Chahar Provincial Government, and directly moved the headquarters of the anti-Japanese brigade into Duolun County.

After settling some of the more important matters at hand, Li Han really sent a telegram inviting merit to the military headquarters of the 57th Army.

The content of his telegram roughly meant: "I fought a battle with the devils in the border area of Recha, and not only successfully repelled the Japanese attack, but also occupied a large area of territory. Of course, he is a member of the 57th Army, and all these territories are of course the territory of the 57th Army.

Now the question is: there is territory, but there is no money, no people, no guns, no artillery, nothing, how to protect these territories.

I hope that the army commander will see his face as a member of the 57th Army, and just send reinforcements from a regiment at will. ”

From this telegram, it can be seen that Li Han actually did not have much confidence in the response of the 57th Army, after all, he was considered to have voluntarily left the ranks of the 57th Army, and what qualifications did he have to ask them for help.

But Li Han didn't know that although He Zhuguo was a lieutenant general, he had always been concerned about the fate of this little person, and even wanted to send troops to support Li Han's resistance against Japan.

At the headquarters of the 57th Army, Commander He Zhuguo, wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, was holding a telegram that had just been received by the telecommunications office.

He Zhuguo didn't expect that Li Han not only blocked the attack of a brigade of the Japanese army, but also almost annihilated the devil troops.

This made him feel incredible, if the Japanese army was so easy to fight, their hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army would not have ended up like this.

Originally, he had the intention to help Li Han, but now Li Han has made such a request to himself, which proves that Li Han's heart is still towards the 57th Army.

In He Zhuguo's view, if it weren't for his own people, he would definitely not dare to make such a request to himself, at least he himself would not have asked Chiang Kai-shek for guns and cannons.

This is the same truth, if you ask someone for this or that, eighty percent of them will be regarded as a psychopath.

Thinking about it again, the 29th Army was already embarrassed to the point that no one wanted it, and in the end, the young marshal kindly took them in. Now the 29th Army has a provincial territory, and the Northeast Army, as the master, now has to send people to the fence.

He Zhuguo also acquiesced to Li Han's behavior of openly occupying territory, and Li Han's performance towards the Japanese invaders also made him appreciate it very much. He himself is in a high position, but he can't deal with the Japanese army as quickly as Li Han.

The so-called "help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west", since He Zhuguo has made up his mind to help Li Han, he will naturally not be stingy.

Because Li Han was in Chahar, and his troops were often fighting with the Japanese army, for the sake of the overall situation of the Northeast Army, it was naturally impossible to reorganize them under the name of the 57th Army.

Originally, Commander He had long wanted to send troops to support Li Han, but he was afraid that the Japanese would anger the Northeast Army, so he did not take action for a long time, and it was even more impossible to put Li Han and them under the name of the 57th Army.

However, this kind of thing is still difficult for General He Zhuguo, and it is not easy to help Li Han clearly, but he can pass the Beiping Military Commission, speaking of which, he is still a member of the Military Commission.

So He Zhuguo suggested that the Beiping Military Committee confer the rank of colonel on Li Han, and at the same time, the Guyuan Anti-Japanese Brigade established by Li Han in order to expand the army was directly promoted to the provisional 145th Brigade.

The Beiping Military Commission was composed of the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, and the Central Army, and now that the Chahar Northwest Army is dominant, the central government certainly does not want to see it, and the attitude of the central government naturally represents the attitude of the central army.

Since the people of the Northeast Army want to intervene, of course the people of the Central Army have no opinion.

Not to mention the Northeast Army, they don't know who Li Han is, but He Zhuguo must be his own person. Since it is He Zhuguo's people, of course everyone has no opinion.

Besides, He Zhuguo was not without a target, didn't Li Han repel the Japanese attack in Chahar, and the number of Japanese soldiers killed is said to be hundreds or thousands, thwarting the Japanese army's attempt to plot the Chahar Province of the Republic of China.

Of course, just these combat exploits are definitely not enough for Li Han to be directly upgraded to a type B brigade at the regimental level. But don't forget that there is an old saying in China: 'There are good officials in the DPRK and China'.

If there is no He Zhuguo, Li Han will not be a brigade commander, and the company commander will not be a regiment commander.

But with He Zhuguo's support, and Li Han has also made a lot of military exploits, everything seems to be so natural when he is promoted and rich, and it is estimated that this is why everyone likes to hug their thighs.

Without any surprise, He Zhuguo's military order was passed with an absolute majority.

In order to strengthen the firepower of Li Han's new brigade, He Zhuguo also transferred ten Makqin heavy machine guns from his logistics department at once, intending to give them to Li Han together.

Although the life of the Northeast Army is also tight, He Zhuguo is also a military commander, and he has tens of thousands of people under his hands, so it is not difficult for him to take out this little thing.

In addition, he finally made up his mind and decided to let Shi Shi'an take the 626th Regiment to Chahar to help Li Han.

Li Han's anti-Japanese brigade is equivalent to a regiment-level scale, plus the 626th Regiment, which can just be organized into a one-brigade, two-regiment and B brigade.

The reason why He Zhuguo spared no effort to help Li Han was not only because Li Han was his own person, but also because He Zhuguo saw Li Han's firm attitude towards Japan.

Although he was loyal to the young marshal, he was more loyal to his country, and because of his identity and the situation at the time, he could not lead the army to participate in the battlefield of resistance against Japan, which left infinite regret in Commander He's heart.

Since Li Han fought the Japanese in Chahar, He Zhuguo wanted to use this way to make up for the regrets in his heart.

Don't say it's Li Han, as long as it's a unit dedicated to fighting devils, he, He Zhuguo, is willing to help, not to mention that Li Han is still his own person.

The brigade commander was taken by Li Han, and Shi Shi'an, the former leader of Li Han, could only be the deputy brigade commander, worried that Shi Shi'an had ideas about this, He Zhuguo also specially called him to the office, ready to do ideological work for him.

How do you know that Shi Shi'an doesn't care about this at all, he thinks about the same as He Zhuguo, and he only wants to fight the Japanese.

went to Li Han, not to mention anything else, really fought with the Japanese army, Li Han dared not let himself, the old chief, go against the sky. In short, Shi Shi'an just felt that it was much better to go to Chahar than to stay in Hebei.

Besides, the deputy brigade commander is the deputy brigade commander, and it can be regarded as a promotion, if he continues to work in the Northeast Army, I don't know when he will be able to become the deputy brigade commander.

Shi Shi'an's performance made He Zhuguo very pleased, and he was also very proud that there were officers in his army with such a high ideological consciousness. Seeing Shi Shi'an, He Zhuguo felt that only such an officer could bring out a fierce future like Li Han.

In order to prevent the devils from focusing their attention on the Northeast Army again, the establishment of the 626th Regiment could not be used, so the number of the 14th Regiment of the 145th Brigade was released.

As for why it is called the Fourteenth Regiment, it is very simple to add six plus six, and adding two is not equal to fourteen. In this way, since it is enough to get a new number, it also includes the previous number of the troops, killing two birds with one stone.

Besides, Li Han here, since the telegram was sent, he has put this matter behind him. In Li Han's opinion, although he is not out of the ranks of the Northeast Army now, he is almost the same.

He Zhuguo has a large number of people, and if he doesn't care about himself, he will go home to burn high incense, and he still wants to get benefits from him, which is impossible, at least Li Han's own thoughts are not so great.

Preparations are also being made for the celebration party, and as long as the conscription is completed and the troops are completely stabilized, a lively celebration party can be held.

Li Han's focus now is on how the conscription of the troops is progressing during this period, and although the battle with Yamashita Yoshio was fought happily, the casualties of the troops were equally frightening.

Counting Deng Zishan's puppet army, the number is only a little more than 1,300, which is far from enough for the anti-Japanese brigade that occupies the territory of the four counties.

Originally, Li Han led his troops to repel the attack of the Japanese army and eliminated more than a thousand devil elites, which could already be regarded as a big victory, and his losses were naturally supplemented by the above.

But this is the problem, now Li Han doesn't know who his superior is, He Zhuguo has the courage to send a telegram, but except for the 57th Army, Li Han doesn't know where else to send a good news.

The Chahar Garrison Command did not send troops to attack itself, so it burned high incense, and above it was the Beiping Military Committee. If it was in peacetime, for the sake of Li Han's victory, the bigwig of the military committee would be so happy that he would give him hundreds of supplementary soldiers.

But when is it now, the battlefield of the Great Wall is like a meat grinder, tens of thousands of troops are thrown into it without a single bubble, and they have all found a place to dispatch troops, and they can still take care of a small role like Li Han.

The military is unreliable for the time being, but fortunately, the people of Recha and Recha still remember this heroic unit led by Li Han.

Especially the four counties under Li Han's rule and the large Mongolian steppe area within the radiation area of his influence, because Li Han beat away the devils, the common people got tangible benefits.

On the government side, Wang Wei continued to publicize Li Han, which made the anti-Japanese brigade more and more famous in the four counties, and the difficulty of recruiting soldiers was also reduced a lot.
