The officers and men of the 29th said that they had been taken prisoner, but that they had been deceived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Jin and Zhang Peng first disguised themselves as people from the military headquarters and quickly took control of the division headquarters, and then used the name of the division headquarters to gather the officers of various brigades and regiments and stew them in one pot.

The communication of the brigades and regiments to the outside world was controlled, and in the name of the division headquarters, an order was given to all the troops to come to Nanyang to accept the reorganization.

It's not that no one doubts, questions are raised, but the army is a place of discipline.

The commanders of divisions, brigades, and regiments are all under control, and even if officers at the battalion level have doubts, they cannot report to the military headquarters at the higher levels.

People who don't know what they really think feel as if it's amazing, a soldier is eaten by someone, and he eats it silently.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it's as simple as that, the troops are different from the localities, and the communications of the Republic of China are not developed, which is also one thing.

As for whether the soldiers will make trouble when they arrive in Nanyang, it will be simpler, and they will eat food as soldiers.

It has become a common practice for the Central Army to eat empty salaries and deduct military salaries, but Zhang Guochang's troops have no such problem.

As soon as the soldier's firearms were collected, boxes and boxes of silver dollars and stacks of fiat currency were placed in front of the soldiers.

The soldiers of the 29th Army immediately threw the 29th Army into the ditch, happily received the settling-in allowance one by one, and re-registered as soldiers of the 99th Army.

Of course, the prestige of the Zhang family in Henan, and Zhang Guochang's personal prestige also played a great role.

In some matters, the news is still very well-informed, and Zhang Guochang's own fundraising to resettle disabled veterans has long been spread throughout the army.

Not to mention that there is a settling-in fee to take, even if there is no settling-in fee, as long as it is said that he is working on an errand under Zhang Guochang, there will not be a single one out of 1,000 who does not agree.

The soldiers were well settled, registered, and dispersed to various units to be inserted, and the work was completed.

The main ones who are difficult are the officers, and the officers at and above the company level and above to the regimental level need to distinguish one by one whether they have real ability and whether they dare to fight tough battles.

First of all, those related households, who have no ability, and who are involved in errands, such people will directly confiscate their weapons and drive them out of the barracks, what do they like, Zhang Guochang will not even pay the travel expenses.

Waste.

The rest of those who have real skills, and those who dare to fight tough battles will be screened again.

Pick out those who drink the blood of soldiers, classify those who eat empty salaries, and classify those who deduct military salaries.

The two situations are different, and as I said before, it is too difficult for the Central Army to find people who do not eat empty salaries.

As long as they do not eat too much empty salaries, those who deduct military salaries are classified as a category that can be reformed, and ideological education should be carried out first, and after the education is completed, they will be arranged to take up deputy posts in the troops at all levels.

As for those who have seriously deducted military salaries, they will also collect their weapons and get out.

Of course, there are also upright people who never withhold military salaries, nor do they eat empty salaries, and such people are basically pressed below the regimental level, have rich experience in leading troops, and are promoted to one level as an officer, and continue to serve as commanders with troops.

In the initial stage of the 99th Army, there were vacancies in various positions, so there was no need to worry about not being able to place them.

As for the brigade and division levels, it is not easy to deal with, these people are all generals and above the rank of major general, and their relationships in the Central Army are also complicated.

Zhang Guochang is not afraid of offending people, but he doesn't want to offend people easily.

Those soft bones that have no ability are all gifted out of the country and are full of entanglement.

As one of the most combat-effective units of the Central Army, the 29th Army still has many generals with real skills.

For such people, Zhang Guochang is enthusiastic to retain, those who are willing to lead the troops can continue to lead the troops, and those who are unwilling to lead the troops can be instructors to help them train the officers who lead the troops.

Zhang Guochang's 99th Army has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, all regiment-level commanders, although they can be promoted to the rank of colonel for meritorious service, do not have the experience of leading troops in large corps.

This is the biggest problem and problem of the 99th Army at present, and it is also a problem that Zhang Guochang urgently needs to solve.

In fact, the Central Army has been defeated repeatedly, not because the Central Army lacks bloody officers and does not dare to fight with devils.

One is that the sword is not as good as a person, and the other is that many generals are too hard, for fear of fighting all their family and losing their original status.

Zhang Guochang was busy reorganizing the team, and Tang Enbo, who had suffered a loss, was unwilling, and called Lao Jiang several times to complain, which annoyed Lao Jiang, and sent a telegram to Tang Enbo to scold.

Of course, it is not without effect, Lao Jiang slapped a sweet date to eat, at least Ma Liwu's military position was retained, and Lao Jiang promised that as soon as the ordnance ordered by Zhang Guochang arrived, the equipment of the original 29th Army would be returned to the 31st Group Army.

Lao Jiang also transferred three new divisions from the Sichuan Army to supplement Tang Enbo, and finally pressed the matter.

Tang Enbo didn't dare to go to Zhang Guochang's trouble, he didn't suffer too much, the equipment was returned, and three new Sichuan military divisions were added, and he Tang Enbo didn't suffer too much.

That is, the skin of the face has been scraped, and when the official is in his position, the thick black school is all master-level, touch the face, and it will pass.

The really unlucky one was Ma Liwu, who lost the 29th Army and lost his military power, although he retained his military rank, but the establishment of the 29th Army was withdrawn, and he had no soldiers to bring.

Tang Enbo, who felt a little uneasy, rushed to the hospital to visit Ma Liwu.

Ma Liwu, who had just come to his senses, shouted when he knew what had happened, "Zhang Guochang of the dog day, Lao Tzu and you are not finished!" ”

Another mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he passed out again.

Seeing Ma Liwu pass out again, Tang Enbo shook his head, sighed, and gave a good order to take care of him, and got up and left.

"Alas! I'm not reconciled! But what about it? This person endured it when he should have endured, knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach! The skill is not as good as the person, the sword is not as good as the person, what to fight? ”

After Tang Enbo finished instructing Ma Liwu's adjutant, he walked away in a self-muttering manner.

…………

Yan'an.

"Chairman, I really let you be right, this Zhang Guochang is really going to the 29th Army!" Vice Chairman Zhou sighed.

"What a big appetite, just eat one so silently!" Mr. Zhu also sighed on the side.

"I'm still a little puzzled, Lao Jiang's attitude is also very strange, how could he be so indulgent to Zhang Guochang?" Mao Zu handed a cigarette to the two of them and asked with some confusion.

"Is there a problem with this?" Mr. Zhu was a little puzzled.

"Of course there is a problem, and it is a big problem, that Ma Liwu is also from the first phase of Huangpu, and he is also a student of Lao Jiang, so it stands to reason that Lao Jiang cannot be so partial to Zhang Guochang." Mao Zu took a deep puff of his cigarette, "This will make the other Whampoa officers feel cold, but he did it anyway, and he did it so obviously, there must be something in it that we don't know." ”

"What you say is really true, the strangest thing is that Hu Zongnan and several other generals of the Huangpu Department are also silent!" Mr. Zhu continued Mao Zu's words.

"I'm going to make this arrangement, and I'm going to find out what's going on here that we don't know about." Vice Chairman Zhou nodded and assured Mao Zu.
