The conditions of Chengde City in the battle to defend the city were not good, but the large amount of ammunition that Zhang Xuewu had hoarded before the battle seemed to make the three division commanders present curious, because from the perspective of the overall strategic pattern, Zhang Xuewu's every tactical adjustment was aimed at the key points of the army.

Could it be that this Zhang Xuewu has the ability to predict the future? Whether it was Guan Linzheng, Huang Jie and Liu Huan, or even the deputy division commander Du Yuming, none of them dared to say that they would definitely be able to defend Chengde City if they were alone.

Zhang Xuewu now finds that he seems to be happy because of the generosity of Nanjing, but he also suddenly remembered a statement about the law of conservation of energy, simply put, there will be no love and hate in this world for no reason, and give you benefits to prove that you still have the value of use, otherwise someone will naturally sweep you aside, and those who are interested can retreat bravely in the rapids, and those who do not know how to advance and retreat may not be able to save their lives.

A good memorial ceremony was made into a stage for the chiefs to show their personal charm, Zhang Xuewu quietly left with a bit of helplessness and loneliness, and no one seemed to notice that I don't know when, the protagonist disappeared quietly?

Since the order for reorganization and promotion has not yet been issued, at the door of the dilapidated basement of Chengde Girls' Middle School, there is still a sign of the headquarters of the newly organized First Division, this shabby sign is actually a broken pine board, and the blackened handwriting on it is written with the blood of the soldiers mixed with ink.

In the division headquarters, Zhang Xuewu set up a small table, Xu Guohui, Li Songtao, Zhao Xinyu, Huang Tao, Hao Wenbin, Wang Chuang, Meitlin, and even the wounded Zhanyang, Tang Zhiqiang, Hu Zhenglong and others, because there were not enough stools, Qin Buer and Yao Le simply sat cross-legged on the ground, and the few remaining middle and senior officers of the new first division were basically here!

Zhang Xuewu didn't say a word, raised the big bowl and said: "Respect the brothers who can't afford to sleep for the country and defend the land this time, the reason why we are still alive is because the ambition of the thief is not dead, when the others come to commit it, I will commit it, and slaughter him in the Dongying Islands corpse mountain and sea of blood!" ”

"When everyone else commits a crime, I will commit it, slaughtering him in the Dongying Islands corpse mountain and sea of blood!" After everyone present whispered that they should drink, everyone wiped out the burning knife in the bowl, this is not the sake that is almost lost at the reception, this is the big sorghum burning knife that is serious.

The spicy wine flowed through his throat, Zhang Xuewu seemed to feel better, the dish was simply canned food, and it was really difficult to compliment his canned food, the so-called canned beef was just cornmeal mixed with beef bone meal and sorghum flour, but what else was it picky about if you had to eat? This group of people who survived the catastrophe really did not have the power to be picky, and they were still happy compared to those comrades who shed blood and sacrificed their lives to sleep here.

Hu Zhenglong, as an authentic outsider, didn't expect Lao Cai to be able to blend into the circle of the core team after the First World War? This is something he didn't expect before, the effectiveness is not as good as the fate, Hu Zhenglong has seen too many things like this over the years, he was a little moved by Zhang Xuewu's kindness, and would rather follow Zhang Xuewu, an arrogant and daring commander as the battalion commander, than follow Tang Erhu as a regimental deputy.

Zhang Xuewu drank three bowls of wine, took a bite of green onions and looked around at the people present: "Today, Minister He revealed to me that the Nanjing political axe has made a decision to serve as the chairman of Rehe Province and form the Rehe Army. It is planned to form three or five divisions, and everyone will talk about your ideas! ”

Except for Meitlin, everyone fell into a state of stupor for a while, and the Rehe Legion? The new First Army? Three to five divisions? Grant the Tiger Ben call sign?

You must know that this place can be described as dry and rare, famous and advantageous! Although the Nanjing Central Political Axe has not been awarded to any division or above the call sign of the [***] combat sequence unit since the launch of the army restructuring and reorganization plan in the 19th year of the Republic of China, it can be said that the new first army in the future is the first unit to receive the honorary call sign in the [***] combat unit sequence.

The German advisory group has always suggested that the corps establishment in [***] be abolished, because the corps of [***] is the same as his own detachment, although it is not a temporary surname, but its establishment is somewhat different from the high, from five regiments to five divisions, so the Nanjing political axe also seems to have left a hand in advance, and set up a new formation of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army under the corps, so this determines the huge establishment of the new First Army, The so-called mobile establishment of at least five divisions is actually telling Zhang Xuewu, don't think that it is the Central Army, the Ministry of Military Affairs will have to pay for it, and the Central Nanjing Political Axe is only responsible for the funds and salaries of your three divisions, and if you form five divisions, that is your Zhang Xuewu's ability, but I'm sorry, the other two divisions want you to raise your own funds.

In fact, this is also very normal in [***], compared to the 25th Division Guan Lin Zheng Department of the 25th Division, which came to the aid this time, is three infantry regiments plus a supplementary regiment, in fact, Guan Lin Zheng Department is four main infantry regiments plus a supplementary regiment, and the funds usually find more opportunities for the eight immortals to cross the sea to show their magical powers, and if it is really not good, they will be evenly shared, and the money of three people will be spent by five people, which is also the main source of the so-called seventy percent salary.

Although Qin Buer and Yao Le's eyes lit up, they were interested in whether the special paratrooper brigade, which had suffered huge losses this time, could be upgraded from the battalion level to the regimental level? Personnel and equipment are supplemented, while Xu Guohui, Zhao Xinyu, and Wang Chuang are aiming for the throne of the division commander, Li Songtao and Huang Tao are normal, they are all people who have been promoted steadily, and Hu Zhenglong is the most excited.

Sure enough, it is rich and dangerous! After a battle, a regiment commander will be in his arms, maybe a deputy brigade commander? Hu Zhenglong is not a stupid person, he can attend today's small-scale dinner, which shows that he also has a certain position! From the Northeast Army to the Central Army, Hu Zhenglong was secretly happy in his heart and pushed Tang Ziqiang, who was drooling on the side! Zhanyang was enthusiastic when he heard about the establishment, and the Central Army Adjustment Division was the second brigade under the jurisdiction of the division, the second regiment under the jurisdiction of the brigade, and the other supplementary regiment, and the battalions directly under the brigade headquarters.

I estimate that I can do it with a regiment leader this time? Oh my God! What great virtues have I accumulated in my last life? While his classmates are still complacent about the lieutenant, he is still a lieutenant colonel or colonel? This is simply sitting in the sky and wearing a monkey to the sky! It's worth it!

Among the crowd, Hao Wenbin, who had always remained calm, took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Xuewu with a smile and said, "Commander, so all our brothers can also be wiped out?" I don't know how many of the positions of the chief and deputy commanders of these divisions are reserved for us? How many were assigned by the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nanjing Front? You must know that although the land in Rehe is barren, it is not poorer than Jiangsu and Zhejiang when it comes to scraping land! ”

Zhang Xuewu lit a cigarette, took a puff and said leisurely: "Nanjing has added a group of middle and low-level officers, directors of the Political Department and political training officers for expansion, and I plan to expand the Rehe Army into five divisions and two brigades!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xuewu's words came out, everyone present was happy, but two divisions and two brigades of these five divisions and two brigades wanted Rehe to raise troops by himself! When the army moves, it's all money! Just eating horses and chewing every day is a large amount of expenses, training station expenses, weapons and ammunition, logistics supplies, etc., at least 600,000 oceans per month to be able to sustain it, and Zhang Xuewu's salary and food standards for the troops are set very high, I am afraid that at least 700,000 yuan will be able to settle the accounts by then!

Zhang Xuewu said a little helplessly: "I also know what everyone is worried about, if you are greedy, you can't chew it!" But have you thought about it? In the nation's [***] reorganization plan, there are only 70 divisions with serial numbers, while only 60 field divisions belong to the army's combat sequence, and the remaining 10 are river defense, coastal defense, and garrison divisions. Two hundred and seventy-nine! Our five divisions and two reading brigades are all real numbers of the Ministry of Military Affairs, now we don't stretch out our hands, after this village there will be no shop, and after the reorganization of the country's troops, all the troops with the number are supplied by the central government, so we should look farther, we have soldiers and guns, are we afraid of no money? ”

As soon as Zhang Xuewu's words came out, Xu Guohui, Zhao Xinyu, Wang Chuang and others who were suddenly present could be described as blue light, and now the millions of oceans in the warehouse of the military police company of the new First Division, the smoke worth tens of millions and a large number of funeral goods from the Liao Emperor's Mausoleum are among them, it can be said that it is simply smooth sailing to follow Zhang Xuewu to make a fortune, and even robbing Tang Yulin is not in the slightest!

Zhang Xuewu came to the map, and knocked on the baton and said: "Suiyuan Province, where Suixian County is located, used to be returned to Shanxi, and the establishment of a regional administration in the eighteenth year of the Republic of China set up Suiyuan Province, where Zhangjiakou is located, is the center of Chahar, Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan, I want a trinity!" Now the military and political systems of Chahar and Suiyuan have long collapsed because of the Battle of Rehe, although we are not rightly named, but we have guns in our hands! To the west to guard against the Jin army, Suiyuan is mine, they don't want to move a finger, with me Zhang Xuewu in charge, Yan Xishan's Jin army doesn't want to be decorated with the word Sui, he doesn't have to think about the title of Jin Suijun! To the east of Zhangjiakou I am bound to win, here are many mountains and ridges passes, the north and south are all important places, if you stick to the Rehe defense and the army will attack again, Zhangjiakou must be in the hands of our army. ”

Zhang Xuewu's ambition made everyone present enthusiastic, and Nanjing gave you a chairman of Rehe Province, and you even ate Chahar and Suiyuan in one bite? However, since Chengde hit the Yue army, Zhang Xuewu's subordinates also seem to have become bold and don't care about anything, the domestic army is afraid of it, and there are not a few people who are afraid of it, but Zhang Xuewu's department is now out, and as soon as the machine gun goes off, the arrogant little man is like cutting wheat and falls to the ground, and finally he is running around with his head and his head running.

After some research, Zhang Xuewu also drew up a report on his declaration to the Supreme Military Committee of Nanjing Political Axe, the Rehe Army called the sign of Tiger Ben, under the new first, second, and third infantry divisions, the Rehe Garrison Division and the Chasui Garrison Division, the Reading Artillery Brigade, the Reading Mechanized Brigade, each infantry division has two brigades, each brigade has two regiments, each division has a supplementary regiment, and the troops directly under the division, a total of 16,500 people, the garrison division is organized according to the B type of troops, each regiment has more than 1,800 people, the division has jurisdiction over three regiments, including the troops directly under the corps, The Rehe Army had a total of more than 100,000 men.

Among them, Lieutenant General Zhang Xuewu served as the commander of the corps and the commander of the new First Army, Hao Wenbin was promoted to major general and appointed deputy commander of the new First Army, Huang Tao was appointed director of the Political Department of the corps, Li Xinkai was appointed chief of staff of the corps, Xu Guohui was appointed as the commander of the first major general of the new infantry division, Wang Chuang was appointed as the major general and commander of the second new infantry division, Zhao Xinyu was appointed as the commander of the third major general of the new infantry division, Hu Zhenglong was appointed colonel and division commander of the Chasui garrison division, Zhanyang was appointed colonel and division commander of the Rehe garrison division, Zhang Tianpeng was appointed as the major general of the Yuli Artillery Brigade, and Tang Ziqiang was appointed as the commander of the mechanized brigade. Qin Buer served as the captain of the Falcon Commando Colonel, and Yao Le served as the captain of the Blade Commando Colonel.

It can be said that as long as the people who survived the new first division, Zhang Xuewu did not hesitate to give it a promotion, for how to strengthen the loyalty of his troops, Zhang Xuewu can be described as full of strange tricks, after all, the army he commanded is the Central Army of Nanjing, and the transfer of senior officers of the Central Army is extremely frequent, so if Zhang Xuewu does not want to lose the army he controls, then on the one hand, he must start with the loyalty of the people, on the other hand, he must give Nanjing to the side, so as to give Chiang Kai-shek a feeling of giving up on me, It's Rehe, and no one can play without me, Zhang Xuewu.

On the one hand, he is loyal to the political axe of Nanjing, supports the orthodoxy of the country, on the other hand, establishes his own prestige and prestige, and engages in the so-called cult of personality below, Zhang Xuewu has his own plans, and now history can be said to have undergone a major reversal. Since it is an established national policy, it is naturally not easy to change, and it is said that I have lost face in Rehe, and it is very likely that I will raise troops again in three or four years to commit a large-scale attack.

However, these are just Zhang Xuewu's own wishful thinking plans, you must know that the plan can never catch up with the rapid change, so Zhang Xuewu can only take precautions accordingly, when the two armies fought in Rehe, the army and local officials of Chahar and Suiyuan have run out, but it does not mean that they are still shrinking turtles when they withdraw from the army, and many warlord faction armies in China are also like this.

The next day, Zhang Xueliang had a long talk with Zhang Xuewu in Zhang Xuewu's humble command headquarters where the wind leaked, Zhang Xueliang has always come to see Zhang Xuewu with a feeling of gratitude and guilt, in addition to the glorious martyrdom of the 106th Division and the favorable support of the Northeast Air Force in the early stage, it can be said that Zhang Xuewu was fighting alone.

Especially after the end of the fortification along the Great Wall, Zhang Xueliang hesitated on the question of whether to send troops to fight a decisive battle with Yue himself, so today he came to talk to Zhang Xuewu and was ready to be stabbed, this is the so-called brother Ming Reckoning!

Rehe categorically cannot be handed back into the hands of Tang Yulin, although Zhang Xuewu is the Central Army, but the foundation of his troops is still the Northeast Army, and the most important thing is that Zhang Xuewu is his cousin Zhang Xueliang, a brother who goes into battle, fights tiger father and son soldiers, if there is no certain foundation of affection and family affection, who is willing to fight for your life to defend the lonely city?

Based on this move, Zhang Xueliang agreed to Nanjing's suggestion to let Zhang Xuewu become the chairman of Rehe Province, and upgraded his new First Division to the corps.
