Chapter 138: The Reorganization of the New First Army (Part II)

Before the meeting, the Yinpingshan Command "announced a few things. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info old high you to announce. Zhang Cheng beckoned everyone to sit down, smiled slightly, and ordered Gao Zhisong.

"After discussion and decision by the Military Committee, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general Liu Zhongming of the New First Brigade and appointed as the deputy commander of the New First Army! Commander Liu did not convey after this meeting"

"Promote Chen Qingshan to the rank of major general, commander of any division."

Chen Qingshan was a little stunned, he was also promoted to major general, "Thank you, thank you!" Chen Qingshanyuan stood up and saluted a military salute, and was still a little dazed when he sat down.

"Promoted Hu Rongda to the rank of major general and served as the commander of the third division."

"Promoted Liao Wengang to the rank of major general, commander of the fifth division."

"Promoted Zhang Quming to the rank of major general, commander of the Seventh Division."

"Promote Luo Jianghui to the rank of major general and serve as deputy chief of staff."

"In addition to the five promoted major generals, Song Hu and other colonels were also awarded the Order of Baoding of the third class, and some meritorious personnel were promoted and commended and announced later, today the new First Army was established," Zhang Cheng announced, "Everyone is welcome!" ”

Originally, Zhang Cheng also reported Song Hu and Da Niu, but those people in Chongqing felt that it was too much to be promoted to major general at one time, and said that it would not be appropriate to be promoted so much at one time, and they would wait for the next batch, but they still gave a third-class Baoding medal.

Although it was only a small-scale reward for meritorious deeds, it still had a strong effect on the morale of the upcoming war, which was also strongly requested by Zhang Cheng.

The applause rang out, everyone was originally an old colleague, and now they are together again, and there is no separation, not to mention that the new troops can be regarded as Zhang Cheng's descendants.

The new 1st Division originally had four brigades, three main brigades, plus a supplementary brigade, if a brigade had 8,000 people, this would be more than 30,000 people, in fact, the four main brigades all exceeded 8,000 people, and the supplementary brigades were even more.

Judging from the establishment of troops, the new 1st Division could already be upgraded to an army at that time.

If there are more troops, there will not be enough officers, the organization will be bloated, and the combat effectiveness will decline.

Zhang Cheng's concept is rather advanced, and modern warfare is no longer about more people bullying fewer people, and a brigade of the Japanese army dares to chase after a division of the Kuomintang, which is enough to explain.

In China, though. It is still in the initial stage of modern warfare, in the case of weapons and equipment, economic strength, and industrial base are inferior to the opponent. Only crowd tactics can be chosen.

There is no way, this is determined by the national conditions, but it does not mean that the tactics of the sea of people are invincible, and the times are always progressing and moving forward. The crowd tactic has its positive effects, but also its limitations.

What he wants to take is a road of elite soldiers.

The road to elite soldiers is not so easy to walk, and the resources needed to train a qualified special soldier may be the resources needed by hundreds of ordinary soldiers, or even more than that.

To train an elite army, you need a lot of resources.

Zhang Cheng hadn't robbed the Japanese of the resources left behind in Nanjing. I really don't dare to have this idea, and even so, these resources cannot be used directly.

These resources must be monetized, and their own weapons and equipment must be manufactured, so that they can have autonomy.

At the end of the meeting, Zhang Cheng said to Zhang Quming: "Go!" Let's go see the troops you lead! More than ten minutes later, Zhang Quming took Zhang Cheng, Gao Zhisong and Hu Rongda to the station. Looking at the busy soldiers, Zhang Cheng said to Zhang Quming seriously: "Senior brother! They have been wandering outside for a long time, and you officers must care more about them! ”

"I see! You can rest assured! Saying that, Zhang Quming accompanied Zhang Cheng around the barracks and sent Zhang Cheng away. After Zhang Cheng, Gao Zhisong, and Hu Rongda left, Zhang Quming immediately convened a meeting of all the chief officials.

At the same time in Chongqing, in President Jiang's office. He Yingqin reported the situation of the recent battle in Wuhan to President Jiang. President Jiang looked at the battle report and said angrily: "See for yourself!" What has happened to this battle? What do you think we're going to do next? ”

Hearing President Jiang's angry voice, He Yingqin smiled bitterly twice and said, "Commission, is the new First Army transferred to Wuhan?" Let Zhang Cheng guard Wuhan and hand over Yinping Mountain to the third and fifth theaters for joint defense! ”

When President Jiang heard He Yingqin's words, he scolded loudly: "Stupid! How important is the strategic location of Yinping Mountain! Yinpingshan is a sharp knife that we left in the direction of Nanjing, if Yinpingshan is lost, have you considered the consequences? President Jiang, who calmed down as he spoke, looked at He Yingqin and said: "The matter has come to this point, let's transfer troops from the Sichuan army and the Yunnan army!" ”

He Yingqin heard President Jiang's words, nodded and said, "Humble position, immediately go and formulate a new battle plan!" After speaking, He Yingqin walked out of President Jiang's office. As soon as he walked out of the office, He Yingqin saw Dai Li, who was walking towards him, and said: "Yunong, now the commission is still angry, if you go in, you have to be careful!" ”

Dai Li nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Jing, for the reminder!" Saying that, Dai Li looked around and whispered to He Yingqin: "I just got the information that the Japanese army has completed the deployment of the Yinping Mountain area, and it is estimated that within three days, it will take action against Yinping Mountain!" Hearing Dai Li's words, He Yingqin said lightly: "Yunong, you still have to tell the commission in person about this matter!" Zhang Cheng is now the heart of the commission! Do you understand what I mean? ”

Dai Lian nodded in understanding and said, "Brother Jing's point, I Dai Yunong knows it!" After speaking, Dai Li walked to President Jiang's office.

President Jiang, who was angry, saw Dai Li, and asked in a stiff tone, "Is there anything wrong with Yunong?" Dai Li replied seriously: "Report the commission!" Our military commander has just intercepted the information, and the Japanese army has completed the deployment of Yinping Mountain, and I am afraid that there will be action within three days! ”

When President Jiang heard Dai Li's words, he groaned and said, "If you have any information about Yinping Mountain in the future, you can directly transfer it to Zhang Chengcheng!" Dai Li heard President Jiang's softened tone and said, "Take a seat!" It seems that Zhang Cheng and Gu Zhutong have something to do, and Gu Zhutong has been very embarrassed by Zhang Cheng recently! ”

President Jiang smiled and said, "This is a good thing!" If Zhang Cheng doesn't do anything there, I'm worried! It would be even better if Zhang Cheng could find some more trouble for the Communist Party! But now the situation in Yinpingshan still has to take advantage of the Communist Party! Especially in this case, it is the Communist forces that can be relied on, do you know what I mean? ”

Dai Li, with a teachable look, nodded and said, "Wise!" Humble duty understands! Hearing Dai Li's words, President Jiang nodded very appreciatively, and then asked, "What is Wang Zhaoming's reaction recently?" Dai Li replied seriously: "Everything is under surveillance!" However, his wife is very active and has frequent contact with Japanese and foreigners in Shanghai! ”

President Jiang snorted heavily and said, "As long as Wang Zhaoming is under your surveillance!" Now I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if Wang Zhaoming has any bad intentions, he will be executed immediately! After speaking, President Jiang waved his hand and signaled that Dai Li could leave.
