Chapter 32: The Column of the Decisive Army
If you want to change to another major general officer who has just come to Shanxi, you may be so excited to be received by Chief Yan. This is a rare opportunity to integrate into the Jin Sui Army, and even be promoted to the rank of Lord! Climb on Chief Yan's chariot, and soar to the top is just around the corner!
However, Hu Fei did not fancy such an opportunity too much. This has to do with personal experience. Since Hu Fei entered the customs, he has been working hard to join the Central Army and become a regular national army. Now that the goal has finally been achieved, the twists and turns of the experience are really sad to think about.
The rank of general is already a general, and the official military rank issued by Lin Sen, chairman of the government, is also available, Hu Fei is bent on fighting the war of resistance, and he only wants to fight devils. Besides, how easy is it to be promoted by relying on Chief Yan's ladder to get promoted? Instead of working hard for those things that have no shadow, it is better to think more about how to fight devils and reap benefits in Shanxi in the future.
As soon as Hu Fei went out of Yan Xishan's living room, the chief smiled and muttered to the adjutant next to him, "Hehe, this Hu bandit leader is a handsome offspring." At most, the murderous aura between the eyebrows and eyes is heavier. How could he toss this old thing Okamura Ninji so wolf? It's really weird, weird. ”
Although Chief Yan doesn't read foreign newspapers, aren't there many people in the Jin Sui army who can read foreign newspapers? After someone from the chief's department knew the news about Hu Fei, they told it to Chief Yan as a strange news.
The chief immediately had a strong curiosity about Hu Fei, and he met Hu Fei just to see what this character who gave Okamura Ningji a headache looked like. To say that it is strict is just to see whether it is good or bad for such a person to come to his territory.
After Hu Fei met with the commander, he went to the staff headquarters of the Second War Zone. Didn't Yan Xishan say that he wanted the staff to find a good place for him, then he had to go and see what this good place was. This kind of thing is serious when the iron is hot, and something may happen after a long time.
A lieutenant colonel staff officer of the General Staff Department was responsible for receiving Hu Fei. He is a member of the Commander's Department of the War Zone, although his military rank is only a lieutenant colonel, Hu Fei does not dare to slack off.
Maybe Chief Yan really said hello, or maybe this person was born to be warm-hearted. Anyway, the lieutenant colonel senior staff member was very enthusiastic about Hu Fei, and after asking about the original number of Hu Fei's troops, he directly agreed to keep the original serial number, but the northern Jiangxi Advance Army was going to be changed to an anti-Japanese army.
In the future, the name of Hu Fei's department is: The 88th Column of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Decisive Army. Hu Fei served as the commander of the column as a major general. Later, the lieutenant colonel Gao Shen took out a large-scale map of Shanxi and drew a circle on the map with a pencil, and this circle was the future scope of activities of the 88th Detachment of the Decisive Death Army. Of course, if there is any other important battle, the troops may also be temporarily transferred, that is another story.
The original name of Hu Fei's troops, the Northern Jiangxi Advance Army, always sounded a little bit of the nature of a local army. Now this Chinese anti-Japanese decisive army has brought the word "China", which is much more majestic. In the past, he was the commander of the detachment, but now although his rank has not been promoted, his title has become the commander of the column, and the commander is obviously better than the detachment commander.
Hu Fei is very satisfied with this change. After thanking the lieutenant colonel and receiving the Great Seal badge in person, Xingchong rushed back to the unit to change the flag.
Gathering the main officers of the troops, Hu Fei announced the appointment of the commander's department. After hearing this, the officers who came were basically as excited as Hu Fei, only the smile of Chief of Staff Liu Dong seemed to be a little absent-minded. Hu Fei saw it, but he didn't say it on the spot.
Hu Fei told the big guys to quickly find tailors and craftsmen to make flags, armbands, and badges. The subordinate brigades of the original detachment changed their numbers on the spot to form a regiment, and each regiment went to a craftsman to carve the seal, and after it was engraved, it came to him for the record.
Ji Jinbiao and others loudly agreed and dispersed, and it is estimated that the seal carving craftsmen and tailors should open in the next few days.
When the others were almost gone, Hu Fei stopped Liu Dong. He and Liu Dong discussed things in private, which was frequent, but no one cared.
"Lao Liu, I see that you seem to have some ideas about changing our number? What's going on? "Hu Fei and Liu Dong never turn around when they talk, they have always talked about things and went straight to the point.
"Commander, I'm really a little worried." Liu Dong changed his words quite quickly, as soon as Hu Fei announced that he was the commander of the decisive column, Chief of Staff Liu changed his name to commander. Not to mention, hearing others call him commander, Hu Fei was really proud in his heart.
"What are you worried about?"
"We are the 88th Column of the Decisive Army, do you know what is going on with the Decisive Army?" Seeing that Hu Fei shook his head, Liu Dong continued: "The official name of the Death Determination Army is called the Shanxi Youth Death Squad, which is nominally in the Jin Sui Army sequence, but it is actually an anti-Japanese armed force established by the CCP. The relationship with Yan Xishan is very delicate. Chief Yan wanted to use them to resist Japan, but he didn't want them to develop and grow too much. ”
"Yan Xishan changed our name to the Chinese Anti-Japanese Decisive Army, which is definitely not that simple. He must have planned to let us go into conflict with the Eighth Route Army, and then he will find a way to profit from it. ”
"If the commander wants to follow Chief Yan to do it, then there's nothing to say, it's a big deal, after we change the number, we will go to play annexation, engage in friction, and try our best to annex other death squads and turn them into our own troops. But I don't think you're like that. So, now this situation is the most difficult to handle. ”
Hu Fei was stunned for a long time after listening to Liu Dong's explanation, and finally laughed out loud, "Hehe, I said why did you meet me as soon as you came to Yan Xishan, it turns out that there is such a thing here." Hehe, we are China's anti-Japanese death squad, they are the Shanxi Youth Death Squad, and our names are different. He will kill him, and I will kill mine; He beats his Japan, I kill my devil, we don't interfere with each other! ”
Liu Dong nodded, he knew that it must be such a result. Now that Hu Fei has made his words clear, Liu Dong, as the chief of staff, must of course draw up a plan in accordance with the direction set by the commander.
"If that's the case, then let's just fight against Japan and ignore everything else!" Liu Dong's summary of this sentence can be regarded as formulating a general strategic direction for the 88th Column of the Decisive Army.
Military uniforms are ready-made, and it is not difficult to make a zuò armband badge, and it is done by sewing it on the sleeve and chest. Although the number of things to do is a little more, it is less difficult. More than a dozen tailor shops rushed to work day and night, and in five days, it took only five days for Hu Fei's nearly 4,000-strong troops to have the logo of the 88th Column of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Decisive Army on their right upper arm and chest.
As for engraving, it's more convenient. The column seems to be quite a lot of people, but in fact, there are not many seals that are really needed. It only took two days to find a seal engraving master, and all the seals to be used by Hu Fei's column were engraved.
