1908 Far East Maniac Chapter 144 Far-reaching and detouring

The curtain hangs down. With a radio. "Whoa" shouted to cross the river from a ferry fifty miles upstream of the state. came to a deep back to the upper reaches of the Wujiang River, behind Zhizhou, and then lurked in the valley less than twenty miles from the state wall. A reconnaissance detachment was sent to reconnoiter the formation, while waiting for new orders.

As agreed. The special operations battalion is in contact with the main station every two hours. But from yesterday to now. Every communication. The orders of the special operations battalion were all "original standby". This made Zhu Daniu anxious. In addition, the two days I ate were all fried noodles. The corners of his mouth rose several times.

If there is a fire, it will be extinguished. Zhu Da Niu led the soldiers around the woods. I was looking for wild herbs and mushrooms that I could eat. Let's improve the food for the team.

A basket of wild vegetables and mushrooms was picked. Carrying a bamboo basket. Zhu Daniu took a few soldiers back to the river valley camp. Hang a rubber-topped poncho on the tent stand. I took out the wall watch and took a look. Striding to a tent. Lift the tent. Rushing inside, he asked, "Have you been contacted?" When is the time to attack? The two electric officers in the tent in foreign military uniforms replied tremblingly: "The order is still "the original standby." ”

"Did you mistranslate the telegram code? Why is it "original on standby" every time? Zhu Daniu asked urgently. For the telegraph officer sent by Shi Kai. He had a strong sense of distrust. Otherwise. There will be no more sending two fighters to follow the left and right specifically to "protect".

"That's right. We came out of the Beiyang Telegraph School. ”

A telegraph officer said boldly. Looked at another telegraph officer. Past a telegrapher. And he said, "In the telegram just now. The headquarters also ordered our unit to continue to monitor the movements of the Qing army. Brigade Commander Bai had already crossed the river with his troops. I am coming to the side. ”

"Bai Wenwei? He's just coming over now? Just a brigade of him? Zhu Daniu smacked his lips. Didn't answer the telegram. Because he was illiterate. I've always wanted to learn about culture. Recently, however, the military has been busy. Actually. In peacetime, the official documents of the troops rely on a few staff officers. The training and tactics of the troops were also aided by the few officers who had drunk the ink.

After the Huangnigang Uprising. Zhao Bei on meritorious deeds. All the soldiers who showed sè in the uprising were rewarded with an officer. Although after the rearmament of the Republican Army. Some of the officers who did not have a strong revolutionary consciousness and disobeyed Zhao Beiyang were dismissed. But many were still IRA officers. Bai Wen is one of them. Just because of his confederacy status. So the official is not very big. Just the brigade commander of the 2nd Division. Later, because he was competing for the position of division commander. Transferred by the commander-in-chief to the 1st Division. Or as a brigade commander. As for the commander of the 1st Division. Originally, it was Zhao Bei who served concurrently. After Jiang Fangzhen arrived in Wuhan. He will temporarily act as the division commander. But because Jiang Fangzhen was too old. It's not like Zhao Bei who rushed out in iron blood. Lack of prestige. He has no roots in the army. Therefore, I am afraid that the position of this division commander will not be stable. Men

The chief stared at the division commander's seat and drooled. Bai Wenwei is no exception. It's a fool. The heart is clear. After thinking about it. recommended Bai Wenwei to Zhao Bei to succeed him. However, Zhao Bei did not agree. It is said that it is to be inspected.

The battle for the commander of the first division is an open secret. The senior officers more or less knew something. Most of the people thought that Jiang Fangzhen was suitable as a staff officer. But when it comes to leading troops into battle. Not so optimistic about him. After all, he had only just returned. Nor has he commanded a real combat before. is not like Zhao Bei, who can rely on his achievements to subdue his subordinates. Count them down. Anqing's first uprising to seize the door, the Huangnigang Mutiny, the recovery of Jiujiang, the liberation of Qizhou, the liberation of the banner and even the whole province of Hubei. It is all the credit of Commander-in-Chief Zhao of Northern Zhao. But look at this Jiang Fangzhen Jiang Baili again. What merit can be taken to make a move? Although the commander-in-chief exalted him and valued him. But it doesn't mean that other people also value this young officer on paper. This year. Becoming an official still depends on seniority.

"On seniority". It's a bad habit. It's what Zhao Beibei hates. But this is not a battle that he can fight alone. Sometimes ideals must also compromise with tradition. Meritocracy is certainly a good way to select talents. But we can't take into account the feelings of those old people. End. This army is supported by them. Before the current affairs preacher became the soul of the army. These officers still have considerable energy. It must be co-opted.

Although Zhao Bei did not immediately accept Jiang Fangzhen's resignation. But also verbally agreed. After the end of the state battle. One of the three brigade commanders of the 1st Division was promoted to be the division commander. And this. It will depend on the table of the three brigade commanders in the state campaign.

"On the revolutionary position. Bai Wenwei is not as good as Han. Pity. Han Yi is a little tender. Not as long as Bai Wenwei's beard. And not in the 1st division. ”

Zhu Daniu touched his chin. pondering the candidate for the division commander. Now he has more than 600 men under his command. In fact, the formation of two infantry battalions. Zhao Bei has already agreed. After the end of the Western Crusade. Add another battalion to him. Expand the Special Operations Group. When the time comes. He, Zhu Da, is the head of the regiment. Twenty-year-old regimental commander. That's pretty young. It is faster than those non-commissioned officers and students in the Qing army. What's more, it's still an article. "Anyway. Also literacy. Zhu Da looked at the telegram. I made up my mind in my heart. The Commander-in-Chief said it himself. If he can't know 2,000 Chinese characters in two years. So. "The head of the regiment is the biggest official position he can get.

Report. The strength of our army is low. Such as = outbreak. There is a risk of being washed away by floods. "There was a sound of battle outside the tent. Cut off Zhu Daniu's thoughts.

Zhu Daniu lifted the horse lantern. Picked up the tent and came out. Glancing at the warrior. said: "Jiang Wu." It's not your turn now. Don't go to rest. Running around. It's time to fight. Don't yawn me. ”

That soldier was none other than Chiang. Relying on the commander-in-chief, Tiaozi and Liu Fuji entered the special operations camp together. They are the "back door" soldiers of Zhao Bei's green light to the special operations battalion. Zhu Niu didn't give them a good face from the beginning. The usual training requirements for the two are also particularly harsh. But the two persevered. There is no half-and-so-nonsense. finally made Zhu Daniu look at it differently. I also admired Zhao Bei's vision more and more. The only dissatisfaction is. Two so far. It will still only be "dog planing". You won't learn any other swimming styles. Zhu Daniu still hasn't made up his mind whether to drive them away or not. Come in him. Special forces who can't swim can only be used to stand guard at all.

Liu Gengchūn, the general staff officer of the special operations battalion, kept pushing Zhu Daniu out of the special camp. Because in the Liu staff officer look. These two young men were brave and resourceful. Staying in the special operations battalion as a big soldier is really humiliating. They should be pushed to the Officers' Crash School. After graduation, you can play a greater role in the revolution. And in the opinion of Chief Officer Liu. The commander-in-chief had sent these two men down to serve as soldiers. Its real intention may just be to temper the will of the two. After all. The Commander-in-Chief attaches great importance to the reputation of intellectual youth. It is impossible for two cultured people to be soldiers for a long time.

Jiang Yiwu said: "The general attack is imminent." Can't sleep. Instead of being in a daze in a tent. It's better to walk around. I just found out. The Wujiang River is turbid. Big rotten wood drifted upstream. Special operations textbooks were prepared on the basis of the commander-in-chief and Staff Officer Liu. This is a precursor to flash floods. Don't be careful. ”

Zhu Daniu said: "You don't say that I want Fang Fang, I was born in a boat." I've seen the power of flash floods. I don't want to rush the more than 600 of us into the Wujiang River. ”

"As soon as the flash flood broke out. I'm afraid that the scheduled launch of the campaign will be postponed again. Jiang Yiwu frowned.

"Then lurk for a few more days. Just as our bombs are being shipped. When the time comes, it will be across the river. I don't believe it. Those wooden fences are better than cannons. The Tartars' heads are harder than iron bumps. ”

Zhu Daniu snorted. Hand one. Said: "Yiwu." Go to herald. Now open your tent. Move me to the mountainside in twenty minutes. Don't try to fool me. I can read foreign watches now. ”
