Chapter Seventy-Eight: The 145th Brigade is Provisional
In the area of the Recha border, as long as Li Han is mentioned, everyone knows that he and the anti-Japanese brigade have just beaten away the attacking troops of the devils and killed more than 1,000 devils. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The army has become famous, and the recruitment of soldiers is naturally much smoother than that of other troops, not only do they not have to go everywhere to catch strong men, but there are many heroes in the rivers and lakes who come to vote.
Li Han has set up conscription points in all four counties, and so far, all localities have been progressing smoothly, and more than 1,000 recruits have been recruited, and they are still recruiting.
"Xiao Deng, how are things going on over there?"
Li Han walked and walked, and unconsciously came to the station of the fourth squadron.
"Report to the captain, I have contacted a lot of colleagues according to your instructions, no, it is a puppet army. Many of them are willing to follow the captain, and by now, the fourth squadron has incorporated more than a dozen puppet army teams, and the total number of them has exceeded 1,000. ”
Hearing Li Han's question, Deng Zishan immediately put his legs together, raised his head and stood up straight with a "snap", and saluted Li Han first, and then said.
Although Deng Zishan is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today and is a full round older than Li Han, when he heard Li Han call himself Xiao Deng, Deng Zishan not only did not feel the slightest discomfort, but felt very comfortable.
No why, just this sentence proves that the captain does not regard himself as an outsider.
In addition to the normal conscription, Li Han also gave Deng Zishan a task, that is, to let him contact all his peers and friends who could be contacted as much as possible, as long as he was willing to pull all of them to the anti-Japanese brigade anyway.
Deng Zishan came from the puppet army, and the person who worked in the puppet army was the regiment commander, and there were not many people below, and the official was bigger than Li Han. The head of the regiment, Li Han, must not be able to give it, and he has not yet become the head of the regiment.
The captain must not be able to do it, he is the captain, so what are you going to do. In the end, Li Han gave Deng Zishan a position of squadron leader, and he was originally in charge of seven or eight hundred people anyway.
It's not okay if the position is too low, if you take refuge in yourself, it means being demoted, then who else would want to. Even if you want to fight devils, you don't have to follow you Li Han, not to mention the whole country, but in Chahar, the thighs thicker than Li Han are everywhere, and whose thighs are not hugged.
Therefore, Li Han also gave Deng Zishan a privilege, that is, the recruited puppet army, officers below the squadron leader can be appointed by him, and all those recruited by Deng Zishan are given priority to supplement the fourth squadron, that is, Deng Zishan's squadron.
Li Han's idea is very simple, every time he plots against a puppet army, he weakens a little of the devil's strength, and at the same time strengthens his own strength, no matter how he calculates this account, it can be calculated.
With Li Han's promise, Deng Zishan was naturally very happy, in fact, he didn't expect that he would return to the opposite team of the national army so soon and become a squadron leader.
Of course, Deng Zishan was very grateful to Li Han in his heart, and it was Li Han who gave him a chance to be a new man. As for Li Han holding a gun in Weichang County to force himself to surrender, he has been automatically ignored by Deng Zishan.
Not to mention that at that time he was still a traitor that everyone shouted and beaten, the two armies fought for their own masters, and after being a soldier for so long, he still knew that this was called in the mouth of literati and writers: the crime of non-war.
A few days passed, and Deng Zishan's No. 4 Squadron was like blowing up a balloon, rapidly inflated. Although Deng Zishan took refuge in Li Han, he worked in the team of the puppet army for a period of time, and he still had many acquaintances there.
After all, it is not a glorious thing to be a puppet army, and it is destined to not last long. Besides, the Nationalist Government has not lost cities and land on a large scale, and the common people have not despaired of the government.
Except for a few people who are determined to be traitors, the vast majority of Chinese people do not want to become traitors. Seeing Deng Zhishan transform from a traitor who everyone scolded to a government army that fights devils, many puppet army officers who are familiar with Deng Zishan showed envious looks.
Now that there is an opportunity to take off this traitor skin and be a Chinese in a dignified manner, many traitors who were forced to become puppet soldiers at the beginning are naturally happy to take the team to fight with Deng Zishan.
However, there are also many people who are willing to do it anyway, but they don't want to follow Li Han. Most of these people are the same as Deng Zishan, in the puppet army, they are all regiment commanders.
It's no wonder that people have a comparison mentality, and the pseudo-regiment commander will also think: After Deng Zishan defected to the national army, even if he was demoted by one level, it was equivalent to the squadron leader of the battalion commander, and there were no fewer brothers under his jurisdiction.
He is also a pseudo-army commander, and there are more brothers below than Deng Zishan, so why can he only be a company commander.
Of course, these puppet army commanders are not convinced, and they have ideas in their hearts, Deng Zishan will lobby again, naturally they want to take care of it, anyway, many government troops are plotting against themselves now, and whoever has a high price will take refuge in whomever it is.
"Yes, you can see that you have put in a lot of work!"
Hearing that Deng Zishan had recruited more than 1,000 people, Li Han was very happy, which not only represented an increase in his troops, but also judging from the performance of these puppet soldiers, there were still many Chinese people who were unwilling to be traitors.
"This is what the humble position should do, captain, how to distribute these people, I am still waiting for you to get an idea."
Deng Zishan is very happy, Li Han's attitude today proves that he has truly accepted himself. Before this, he had been worried that after Li Han used him, he would settle accounts with him, after all, such things were really uncommon.
When lobbying his former colleagues this time, Deng Zishan also spent a lot of effort and did everything himself, not only because these people may be his own soldiers in the future, but more importantly, he hoped to take this opportunity to leave a good impression in Li Han's heart.
"Well, let's do it, I already said last time that the people you recruited can be supplemented to the fourth squadron first, but now that the brigade has recruited enough recruits, the puppet army brothers will not be assigned for the time being, and then you will have people report to the brigade headquarters and make up the establishment of eight hundred people in the fourth squadron first."
After speaking, Li Han also took a special look at Deng Zishan and found that he did not show any dissatisfaction. So he continued.
"As for those heroes who have come over, after all, they have just come to our side, and some of the rules are not yet known, and all the counties will be sent to the brigade headquarters, and I will let them concentrate on training and supplement them to the squadrons according to the situation."
In fact, Li Han came to the station of the Fourth Squadron this time with this matter in mind.
Although he can unconditionally accept the anti-corruption of these puppet armies, the establishment of these newly incorporated puppet armies will definitely be disrupted, and if he wants to directly transform from a puppet army traitor to a government army, how can he do it without paying some price.
In addition, all the officers above the company commander level of the puppet army should be pulled out for training first, and ideological work must be done. It is necessary to raise their ideological consciousness, so that they know how shameful it is to be a traitor.
As for the soldiers of the puppet army, they can just do a little ideological work, train them, and then break up the formation and add them to the other three squadrons, and the recruits of the fourth squadron will all supplement the soldiers from good families recruited from various counties.
Of course, Deng Zishan will not have an opinion on Li Han's arrangement, this is the basic means of checking and balancing his subordinates by a superior person, if Li Han does not guard against himself at all, he will feel uneasy, because he will feel that Li Han has always wanted to kill himself from time to time.
Deng Zishan really wants to defect to the national army, as long as Li Han does not confiscate his military rights, he doesn't care whether the soldiers of the fourth squadron are more puppet soldiers or more recruits, anyway, they are all his soldiers.
This matter passed happily, and the atmosphere of the next conversation was more relaxed, and the two first talked about the routine, and then discussed the matter of the troops' equipment.
Finally, when he left, Li Han told Deng Zishan about the commendation conference, and asked Deng Zishan to prepare in advance.
Deng Zishan will definitely convey the words of the captain to the ears of every soldier, so that all soldiers know how much the captain cares and loves them.
On April 5, 1933, Li Han convened a meeting of officers above the company level of the First Brigade in Duolun, and the theme of the meeting was the establishment and number of the troops after the current army expansion.
Two days ago, Li Han received a telegram from the 57th Army, and the content of the telegram made Li Han a little embarrassed. It turns out that he has always been in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
The commander not only did not punish himself for the crime of leaving the army without authorization, but mentioned that he had won the establishment of the 145th Brigade of the Chahar Frontier Army.
This is really his own timely rain, and this appointment has completely solved Li Han's troubles. Because he has always been worried about what he will do after the end of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War.
Not only did they have to face the Japanese who had come out, but I am afraid that the people of the Northwest Army would not let go of themselves, who were making trouble in Chahar.
Now that there is an appointment from the national government, even if Song Zheyuan wants to deal with him, it is impossible for him to come and come openly, and he has an official name for occupying the four counties of Recha.
Li Han's gratitude to the military elder can no longer be described in words. I can only destroy some more devils to repay the commander for his kindness.
Moreover, the army commander also sent his own regiment commander over, which made Li Han very happy, and he no longer had to worry that the regiment commander would be transferred to encircle and suppress the Red Army.
But what made Li Han a little embarrassed was that the regiment commander became the deputy brigade commander of the 145th Brigade, but he was the brigade commander, so it was so embarrassing to meet at that time.
According to the regulations of the Beiping Military Commission, the provisional 145th Brigade has two infantry regiments under its jurisdiction, namely the 14th Regiment and the 15th Regiment, and the 14th Regiment is the former 626th Regiment.
The purpose of this meeting was to reorganize the anti-Japanese brigade into the 15 th Regiment and units directly under the brigade headquarters.
The four counties under the jurisdiction of Li Han are not only border counties but also located outside the Guan, sparsely populated, such as Weichang, a county with a population similar to that of a slightly larger town in the Central Plains.
Therefore, after a week of conscription, the anti-Japanese brigade has only recruited 1,500 new recruits within the four counties, including many heroes from other regions who have come to join the army and enthusiastic college students who are determined to join the army.
On the contrary, there are more than 1,500 puppet troops who have been persuaded by Deng Zishan to defect to Cheng, and at present all of them have been disrupted and are undergoing unified training, and now the number of anti-Japanese brigades has reached more than 4,000.
