Xia Chao said: "Chairman of the committee, I am afraid that the students will go behind enemy lines for a longer time this time, and in order to better hide themselves, they must gain a firm foothold in the local area." The local government www.biquge.info no longer exists, can you give students a name for local officials, so that students can coordinate and organize the local people? ”

Speaking of this problem, Chairman Jiang was very angry, and he said hatefully: "Han Xiangfang (the character of Shandong Chairman Han Fuyu) gave up Shandong without authorization, and he should be killed!" ”

The local government of Shandong was completely paralyzed and turned into a world of Japanese puppetry, and Chairman Chiang was very annoyed. There was nothing outside the box about Xia Chao's proposal, and Chairman Chiang immediately agreed. He said: "Okay, you will also serve as the commissioner of the Lunan District Administration, and the military and political affairs will be managed in a unified manner." Powerful candidates may be appointed to serve as officials at all levels below the county level, and report to the national government for the record. ”

What the summer dynasty wants is this right, and now, he is really the king of grass in Lunan region.

Li Zongren gave Xia Chao a code book of the Fifth War Zone and kept in touch with him at any time.

After leaving the Military Commission, Xia Chao came to Chen Cheng's Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, waiting for him to return.

In the evening, Chen Cheng came back and dined with Xia Chao.

Chen Cheng complained about the Xia Dynasty and said: "Heavenly Empire, you shouldn't take this errand, enter the occupied area, face the encirclement of the Japanese army, once something happens, no one will rescue you, even if I want to help you, it is beyond the reach of the whip!" ”

Xia Chao smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, behind enemy lines is not as terrible as you think. The Japanese army was undermanned, and the main forces were fighting in the front, and the forces in the rear were even more insufficient. In many counties, there is only one squadron of troops, or even less, and the information from Xu Feihu shows that there are only a dozen Japanese soldiers in many counties, and the rest are some puppet troops, and it is very simple to clean them up.

In fact, the frontal battlefield was also very dangerous, and it was necessary to face the attack of the Japanese army. The characteristics of the Tiger Regiment are not suitable for positional warfare, and it is useless to stay in Wuhan. ”

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "It makes sense for you to say that, but what about the supplies?" The establishment of one of your brigades is almost 10,000 people, and the consumption of food alone is not a small number, how can weapons and ammunition be replenished? Have you thought about all of this? ”

Xia Chao said: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, I have made a lot of reserves of food, and I don't have to worry about weapons and ammunition, which is enough for me to support for a few months." Who made me rich? ”

Chen Cheng smiled: "You are really a wonder in the national army. People are desperate to make money, but you fill it with your own money. How's your penicillin? ”

Xia Chao said curiously: "What, didn't Xiao Lin tell you?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "I'm a girl, I don't tell me anything, girls are outgoing, it's not wrong at all." ”

Xia Chao said: "The production of penicillin has been very successful in the United States, and funding is not a problem at all. If you need it, just tell Xiao Lin directly. ”

Chen Cheng said: "I don't need to, just take care of yourself." This time you go to Shandong, I will give you another part of the weapons and replenish you with 1,000 veterans. That's all I can do for you. ”

Xia Chao said gratefully: "Uncle Chen, the little nephew won't say thank you, I will definitely do something in Shandong." ”

Chen Cheng said: "I don't worry about your ability, but you must pay attention to safety." Don't go into battle in person, you are also a senior general of the national army, don't be reckless. ”

As soon as Xia Chao left the garrison headquarters building, he saw Adjutant Sun Guanghui waiting at the door. When he saw Xia Chao, he was very excited and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. In the summer, Chao got in the car and came to the station of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

Chen Shuming, Cui Xiaobao and others knew that Xia Chao was back, and they had already set up a banquet and waited, who knew that Xia Chao had already had dinner at Chen Cheng's. But they still insisted on waiting, and everyone didn't eat, and waited until 8:30 p.m. before Xia Chao came.

Seeing that the brothers were so enthusiastic, the summer court had to eat again.

The people who came to greet the summer dynasty were all the officers who came to Wuhan, and everyone was lively for a while, and the summer dynasty asked everyone to eat first, saying that after eating, there was good news to tell everyone.

As soon as everyone heard the good news, they hurriedly ate a big meal, but in less than 5 minutes, everyone said that they were full.

Xia Chao smiled and said: "It seems that everyone wants to know the good news, so let's have fun today, and after hearing the good news, everyone will continue to eat and drink." It's a celebration. ”

Cui Xiaobao said: "Brother Tian, don't sell it, hurry up." ”

Xia Chao said, "Brothers, you have been promoted again. Our Tiger Regiment is now the Tiger Brigade. ”

The officers cheered, and then everyone stood up and applauded.

Who doesn't want to be promoted and get rich? Especially in the Tiger Bentuan, the salary is so high, and upgrading to a level is to increase the income of the ocean. This is not the most important thing, everyone has a sense of self-esteem, that is, to save face. Promotion is an honor and a manifestation of one's own value.

It's good in the Tiger Bentuan, the official promotion is too fast. Chen Shuming and Cui Xiaobao can't be compared, but compared to other troops, people with the same qualifications have been promoted too quickly.

The cadets from the Central Military Academy, in just half a year, have been promoted in rank and position, and they are already majors, and if they continue to study in the school, they will still be cadets.

Bergman and other German mercenaries were also promoted, and Bergman was finally awarded the rank of major general, fulfilling his dream of becoming a general.

The Tiger Brigade was reorganized.

Brigade Commander: Lieutenant General Xia Chao, Deputy Brigade Commander: Major General Bergman, Deputy Brigade Commander: Colonel Xu Feihu.

Chief of Staff, vacant.

Director of the Political Training Office: Colonel Chen Shuming.

Director of the Logistics Division: Colonel Cui Xiaobao.

Chief of Intelligence: Lieutenant Colonel Cheng Lanni.

Special Operations Captain: Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Quan.

Adjutant Director: Lieutenant Colonel Sun Guanghui.

It consists of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd infantry regiments, the teaching brigade, the special operations brigade, the guard battalion, the air defense battalion, the artillery battalion, the machine gun battalion, the engineer battalion, the baggage battalion, the automobile battalion, the recruit battalion, the communication company, the hospital, the repair shop, etc., with a total strength of 9,687 people.

According to the establishment, the whole brigade was formed, trained new soldiers, and planned to train in Wuhan for two months, and then send troops to Shandong.

During this period, the Japanese were not idle either.

After accepting the task of investigating the Xia Dynasty, the head of the Chinese Division of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, Kage Akira, sent his assistants, Madashi Watanabe Naruhito and Second Lieutenant Kikuko Araki, to collect information on the Xia Dynasty.

Madashi Watanabe Naruhito and Second Lieutenant Kikuko Araki have now been promoted to lieutenant and lieutenant respectively. They now know that Xia Chao was born in the Central Military Academy, but they have never got a photo of Xia Chao, and they don't know what he looks like.

During the Battle of Songhu, they learned that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Xia Dynasty was stationed at the Jiangjun Mountain base and had gone to reconnoitre, but at that time, the Xia Dynasty had already left China and they found nothing.

After the Tiger Bentuan retreated to Wuhan, these two Japanese brothers and sisters also came to Wuhan.
