Chapter 50 Shifting the Storm Against Turmoil
It wasn't until Song Zhewu, Xiao Guodong, and Wang Xu came in that the room was quiet.
After everyone was seated, Song Zhewu nodded and signaled that Xiao Guodong could have a meeting. Xiao Guodong stood up: "Everyone already knows the content of today's meeting, which is the summary meeting of the 1st Division's attack on Zengjiazhai, the 26th Brigade that ambushed Shi Yousan, and the 55th Division that defeated Han Fuyu. There were three items on the agenda of the meeting: Zhang Yafei, commander of the 1st and 1st Divisions, made a summary of the battle; 2. Everyone asked questions and discussed the problems existing in the battle; 3. The commander made a concluding remarks. Before the meeting, on behalf of the commander, I announced the appointment and dismissal order: remove Fang Zhen from the post of chief of the Literature and Art Section, appoint Fang Zhen as the deputy director of the Security Department of the Security Army, and promote his military rank to lieutenant colonel; dismissed Meng Xi, chief of staff of the 1st Division and 2nd Regiment, from the post of chief of staff, and appointed Meng Xi as the chief of the operations department of the General Staff of the Security Army; Xu Fang, commander of the 1st Division and 2nd Regiment, was dismissed from his post as regiment commander, and he was still acting as commander of the 1st Division and 2nd Regiment. ”
Everyone knows about Xu Fang and Mengxi, and they made fun of them just now. But for the appointment of Fang Zhen and Fang Zhen, including Zhang Yafei, Gao Zongbao, Zhang Tao and others, they were a little surprised! Although I don't know what this security department does, I can know that this department is extraordinary from the fact that Song Zhewu personally serves as the director of this department.
Without waiting for everyone to come to their senses, Xiao Guodong announced the meeting. First of all, Zhang Yafei summarized the battle.
Zhang Yafei's summary was written on the basis of the summaries reported by various regiments, and in order to find out some details of the battle, Zhang Yafei even looked at the summaries of some squads, platoons, and companies. On the way back to Laiyuan, he repeatedly deduced and summarized it very carefully, and even the sudden situations and countermeasures that may occur in the battle were considered accordingly. In this summary, Zhang Yafei admires Song Zhewu more and more he writes! Writing a battle summary is too high. After writing the summary of this campaign, Zhang Yafei even felt that his own command ability had been greatly improved, and both his grasp of the overall situation of the battlefield and the local personnel and firepower arrangements had a clearer understanding and great improvement. Before Zhang Yafei joined the security army, he was only a battalion commander of the Northwest Army, and he confidently commanded the battalion level, and the battle of thousands of people was still handy, but in the security army, he commanded a division all of a sudden. Based on his observations as a classmate and the past few years, he knew that Song Zhewu would never stop there, and soon he might be in command of an army. Therefore, Zhang Yafei has been constantly learning and striving to improve his ability. He has been in the army since the beginning of the establishment of the security army, and he deeply knows that it is not easy for this team to develop to this point today, and he does not want to affect the development of the security army because of his lack of level and ability, and he wants to help him continue to grow and develop, and always move towards glory. Since then, Zhang Yafei has developed the habit of writing a battle summary by himself after each battle, and he has maintained this habit until the 50s.
Zhang Yafei's summary lasted for an hour, and everyone listened very carefully, and such a detailed summary of the campaign was undoubtedly the best war textbook for these young officers with very little combat experience.
After Zhang Yafei finished summarizing, he began to ask questions and discuss, in fact, this summary will be more like a seminar, which is also Song Zhewu's real purpose. He just wanted to improve everyone's ability to command operations through such research and discussion.
There were the least questions and discussions about the attack on Zengjiazhai, and the questions and discussions focused on the ambush of Shi Yousan's 26th Brigade and the defeat of Han Fuyu's 55th Division. There are several main questions: how the firepower of the ambush positions is configured; how the personnel and firepower of several companies of the 2nd Battalion, which were rushed to the positions by the 26 Brigade, were arranged; what is the role of the sniper; how the artillery positions of the 2nd Regiment were set up; What to do with shelling positions with artillery fire before the enemy attacks?
The summary meeting was very well discussed, and everyone felt that it was very beneficial. Seeing that everyone was almost discussed, Song Zhewu coughed, everyone knew that Song Zhewu was going to speak, so they all stopped the discussion.
Song Zhewu glanced at the venue, saw that everyone began to concentrate and prepare to listen to him, and said: "Today's meeting is very good, I believe that everyone will feel that after the meeting, everyone will feel that they have gained a lot." Good tactics and campaign command should be used for reference; Lessons should be learned from the bad and wrong. In the future, we in the security army will have to set this rule: all battles must be summarized, even if they are squad-sized battles. The battle of Zengjiazhai was fought very well this time, and all the troops of the 1st Division should be commended. ”
Song Zhewu looked at Xu Fang and continued: "Of course, it also includes Xu Fang, so I also rewarded him with 1,000 oceans, although this money was not from me." There was a burst of laughter from below, and everyone knew that the money was deducted from Zhang Yafei and Xu Zheng.
Song Zhewu also said: "I want to emphasize that all commanders must strictly implement orders, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and I don't want everyone to just rigidly carry out orders. However, if there is time and conditions, it must be reported for approval. If there is a similar situation, it must be severely punished. The last sentence obviously accentuated the tone.
Liang Bi, Song Zhewu's new adjutant, walked in at this time and handed Song Zhewu a telegram. After reading the telegram, Song Zhewu, who was talking energetically with a smile, immediately slapped the table with frost on his face. Song Zhewu's demeanor and movements were all watched by everyone, I don't know whose telegram annoyed the commander?
Xiao Guodong knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly took the telegram. The telegram was sent by Xu Zheng, and Xu Zheng said in the telegram: At the time of the transfer of defense from Wu'an, he received the order of Chairman Shang that the first division was transferred to Handan, and now the first division has moved towards Handan. Xiao Guodong also felt that the matter was serious and wanted to persuade Song Zhewu, but when he saw that Song Zhewu's face was gloomy and frightening, he still held back.
Song Zhewu grabbed the telegram, stood up with a blue face, and said loudly: "All of you who are doing, in addition to Chief of Staff Xiao and Chief of Staff Wang, as well as three division commanders, artillery brigade commander Liang, brigade commander of the baggage brigade and commander Sun of the first division and three regiments, the rest of you, two years ago you were all ordinary farmers and students, but now, your youngest is also a major, and you have a thousand or even nearly 10,000 people under your command, and the monthly military salary is hundreds of thousands of oceans, who gave you all this!" Song Zhewu's last few words were almost shouted out.
The officers below were all stunned by Song Zhewu, who was suddenly angry, and no one answered for a while. Fang Zhen reacted quickly, got up and replied upright: "It's all given by the commander." Xiao Guodong, Wang Xu, Zhang Yafei and other Song Zhewu's classmates in Baoding and Germany also opened their mouths in surprise, they have all been friends with Song Zhewu for many years, and they have never seen Song Zhewu have been so angry. After a while, Zhang Yafei said in surprise: "Commander, do you need to talk about this?" Don't say that these people are doing it, even the entire security brigade of more than 100,000 people and horses, they are all eating your food and taking your salary! ”
Song Zhewu waved his hand to signal Fang Zhen to sit down, shook the telegram in his hand vigorously, and said in a loud voice: "I gave you all this!" Without me, Song Zhewu, many of you here are still farming at home facing the loess with their backs to the sky. But if I gave all this, why do I still listen to other people's orders? This telegram was sent by Xu Zheng, deputy commander of the 1st Division, saying that he had been ordered by Chairman Shang to move to Handan. Without my Song Zhewu's order, he dared to move his guard without authorization, does he still have me as a commander in his eyes? Zhang Yafei, commander of the first division. "To" Song Zhewu ordered loudly: "You immediately rush back to the troops, the troops return to Wu'an to station, and at the same time announce my order: dismiss Xu Zheng from his post as deputy division commander, send someone to send him back to Laiyuan, and appoint him to another place." Ye Changgui, you lead the special brigade to follow Division Commander Zhang with you, and if necessary, you will not hesitate to solve it by force. Zhang Yafei and Ye Changgui agreed loudly, and immediately left the venue to gather troops to catch up with the troops heading for Handan.
This is the second update of the day.
