After listening to Luo Yaoguo's reorganization plan, especially Luo Yaoguo's willingness to take out the artillery, Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, okay, so that our Second Army Reading Division will definitely be able to prosper, just settle down with your methods." ”

Next, Luo Yaoguo introduced the main officers of the supplementary regiment to Chiang Kai-shek one by one, including Wang Bao, Li Shunen, Gao Shaojie, Wu Ziliang and others. Subsequently, a banquet was held at the temporary regimental headquarters of the supplementary regiment to formally welcome Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yiqun, the two chief and deputy division commanders, to take up their posts.

After sending Chiang Kai-shek away, Luo Yaoguo and a few brothers held a small meeting at the regiment headquarters to make arrangements for tomorrow's reorganization. At the same time, he also did the ideological work of several people, and several brothers were still satisfied with the expansion of the brigade, but when they thought that a figure of Chiang Kai-shek's level was going to be the division commander, everyone couldn't help but be worried.

"We are in such a situation at the right time, I know that everyone is worried that Chiang Kai-shek has annexed our troops, but have you ever thought about it, can we catch the troops with a few of us? Don't have any illusions about my promiscious uncle, for there is anything that his weak character will not be able to keep us. Luo Yaoguo is also very helpless when he talks about his uncle, after getting along during this time, he has already figured out his uncle, except for listening to Sun Yat-sen's words, this basically has no merits, and it is not possible to expect him to be a backer.

"I think that Chiang Kai-shek is majestic and very majestic, but he looks like a man who does great things." Wu Ziliang has been observing Chiang Kai-shek today, and his small eyes still see people a little thoroughly. "Chiang Kai-shek is an ambitious person at first glance, and it is possible for us to be annexed by him if we follow him, but there must be many opportunities to annex others. Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek has no foundation except for a few old subordinates in the General Staff, and he must use us if he wants to do great things. ”

Speaking of Chiang Kai-shek's current appearance, several people couldn't help but nod. Chiang Kai-shek in this era was still young and not as thin as he was later, so he looked very majestic, especially when he was swept by his sharp eyes, his heart would inevitably tremble, this look can indeed suppress the troops.

"I heard that Chiang Kai-shek even dared to contradict the premier, and with this big tree on it, Xu Chongzhi and Huang Dawei would not fight our idea again." Li Shunen's tone was cold, and what he said made some sense.

"Also, at least the third brother will be the brigade commander soon, and several of us will also be on the rise." Thinking that he was going to be the deputy brigade commander, the little doubt in Wang Bao's heart was quickly dispelled.

According to Luo Yaoguo's arrangement, after the reorganization and expansion of the troops, he himself became the brigade commander, and Wang Bao became the deputy brigade commander. Li Shunen is the head of the regiment, and Gao Shaojie is the deputy. Wu Ziliang was the head of the Second Regiment. Liu Dezhu and Wang Guodong both became battalion commanders, and Lu Ming became a senior staff officer in charge of finance and repair.

The expanded 15th Brigade has two infantry regiments, a special service company, a baggage company, an engineer company, and a brigade headquarters company, with a total strength of 4,000 people. The Reading Division of the East Road Thief Army will consist of two brigades, the 14th and 15th Brigades, plus one battalion of artillery, one battalion of engineers, one battalion of artillery, one battalion of artillery, one battalion of artillery, one battalion of artillery, one battalion of artillery, one battalion of artillery, one battalion of artill From this point on, history began to turn a fork in the road, and Chiang Kai-shek had a force that he could control two years ahead of schedule. Of course, what has changed is only that copy of the Earth, and it has nothing to do with the Earth.

On October 25, 1922, Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yiqun returned to Cangshan Town with Wei Lihuang's supplementary regiment, and established the East Road Thief Army's Reading Division Headquarters at a manor outside Cangshan Town. Under the auspices of Chiang Kai-shek, Luo Yaoguo and Wei Lihuang's troops began to reorganize, and the two divisions were first organized into two supplementary brigades, and the shelves were erected first, and at the same time, the artillery battalions directly under the division headquarters also began to be built.

In the following month, thousands of civilian children recruited from the mountainous areas of northern Fujian arrived in Cangshan Town one after another, and at the same time, many influential figures of the Republic of China were recruited by Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yiqun into the reading division, which greatly enriched the officer corps. Among them, the most famous are the three treasures of the civil engineering department, Chen Cheng, Luo Zhuoying, and Zhou Zhirou. Chen Cheng and Zhou Zhirou were both recruited to work in the Zhejiang army, but at the end of October, they suddenly received a letter from their friend Luo Zhuoying, saying that the Kuomintang in Fujian was going to form a new division, and the positions given were relatively high. So the two resigned from their official positions in the Zhejiang Army and ran away as a reader.

Among them, Luo Zhuoying arrived first, and on November 2, Luo Yaoguo met for the first time with this big man of the Republic of China with the same surname as himself.

"Luo Zhuoying from the vocational department came to report." A slightly shy young man wearing glasses walked into Luo Yaoguo's office in a school officer's uniform.

"You are Luo Zhuoying? Welcome, welcome. "Although Luo Yaoguo is now a Shangguan, he didn't dare to take a stand in front of the future civil engineering general, so he politely got up to greet him." Shunzi, serve tea, Brother You Qing, please take a seat. ”

"Fugong, you are too polite, Zhuo Ying doesn't dare to be." Luo Zhuoying was a little surprised by Luo Yaoguo's politeness, after all, the other party is now a major general and brigade commander, and he is just a major.

"Don't call Fu Gong or anything, you and I are both fellow villagers in Guangdong, and we are both Hakka, presumably the ancestors are related, it's better to be like this, how about our brothers commensurate?" Luo Yaoguo still hopes to get closer to Luo Zhuoying, so he proposes to be brothers.

"Thanks to the wrong love, then Zhuo Ying is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, Brother Fuwen, Zhuo Ying came on the order of Duke Yi, Brother Fuwen can do whatever he wants me to do." Seeing Luo Yao's sincere Chinese tone, Luo Zhuoying also changed his name.

"I want to ask Brother You Qing to serve as the chief staff officer of the 15th Brigade, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, I don't know what Brother You Qing wants?" Luo Yaoguo took out a letter of appointment and handed it over with both hands.

After receiving the letter of appointment, Luo Zhuoying was overjoyed. "Zhuo Ying, how can he dedicate himself, and Brother Fu Wen is so loving, in the future, Zhuo Ying vows to make every effort to give advice to my 15th Brigade." After speaking, Luo Zhuoying solemnly gave a military salute.

"Okay, I'm here to welcome Brother You Qing on behalf of the 3,500 soldiers of my 15th Brigade, and we will be a family in the future." Luo Yaoguo stretched out his right hand and clasped Luo Zhuowen's right hand tightly.

"Now that Brother You Qing has accepted the appointment, then the junior brother is not welcome, and he has to arrange a job for Brother You Qing." Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, took out a document and handed it to Luo Zhuoying. "This is my preliminary draft of the 15th Brigade Battalion Academy, and I hope that this work can be grasped by the General Staff Office. I plan to train all the platoon and squad leaders of the 15th Brigade in turn, mainly teaching some theories of sangming and cooking, and in addition, some of the squad and platoon leaders have a very poor cultural foundation, so it is best to find a way to make up for them. ”

It is very common to set up camp schools in the army of the Republic of China, and even some generals came out of these camp schools. Luo Yaoguo's current 15th Brigade has no choice but to promote a group of veterans due to the shortage of officers, but the military quality and cultural level of these people are generally poor. And the so-called leading the troops is nothing more than obeying orders and observing discipline, and will teach soldiers to use some basic weapons correctly, and the rest is not expected, and tactics can only be group charges now. This style of play is the easiest to organize, which is probably why the [***] team likes to use this tactic so much, right?

A few Luo Zhuoying's classmates and friends, Chen Cheng and Zhou Baifu also came from Zhejiang to take refuge, Chen Cheng was favored by Chiang Kai-shek and stayed at the division headquarters as an artillery staff officer, probably because his baby face is more likable, right? Zhou Baifu is Zhou Zhirou, the commander of the Kuomintang's air force, Luo Yaoguo is very familiar with him, but in this time and space, the commander of the air force is definitely not him, Luo Yaoguo is determined to get this position. Now this Zhou Baifu is still an infantry officer who graduated from the eighth infantry department in Baoding, and has nothing to do with aircraft, Luo Yaoguo gave him the deputy commander of the 30th Regiment and the commander of the second battalion of the 2nd Regiment.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's division headquarters had almost been formed, and Chiang's friend, Wang Boling, who always liked to escape from the battle, was dug up by Chiang from Yunnan Jiangwutang and became the chief of staff of the division, this person was the teacher of Li Shunen, Wu Ziliang and others, so he got along well with Luo Yaoguo, and Jiang Dingwen, the former staff officer of the Second Army of the Guangdong Army, was appointed deputy chief of staff and chief of operations.

The commander of the artillery battalion under the division appointed Qian Dajun, who graduated from Baoding and this non-commissioned officer. Qian Dajun is Luo Yaoguo's idol, he married the eldest daughter of the Kuomintang celebrity and banker Ouyang Yaoru, and the great beauty Ouyang Zaoli as his wife. Later, the big beauty didn't know what disease she had, and she looked like she was going to die, because the big beauty didn't worry about her children and was afraid that they would be bullied by her stepmother, so she introduced her sister Ouyang Shengli to Qian Dajun to fill the house. The little beauty Ouyang Shengli was only 17 years old at the time, uh, she was quickly confused by 35-year-old Qian Dajun and fell in love. Unbelievably, Ouyang Zaoli, who was obviously going to die, miraculously recovered in the end, and as a result, the little beauty and the big beauty worked together as a husband, which made Qian Dajun take advantage of it! Thinking of Qian Dajun's affair, Luo Yaoguo fell in love with this troubled world.

The battalion commander of the division's special service battalion appointed the famous Fu general Liu Zhi, and Liu Zhi, who had a big round head and small eyes and really looked like a pig, seemed to be very heroic at that time, so he was appointed as the commander of the special service battalion.

The 14th Brigade was basically controlled by Chiang Kai-shek in the process of reorganization, and the brigade commander Wei Lihuang had a good relationship with Chiang, and the deputy brigade commander appointed Gu Zhutong, and one of the two regiments was given to Chen Jiji, and the other was concurrently held by Gu Zhutong.

Due to the relatively secure military expenditure, weapons and ammunition, by the end of November, the formation of the Reading Division of the East Road Thief Army was basically completed. A division with two brigades, four regiments and four directly subordinate battalions, a total of 9,000 officers and soldiers, 12 artillery pieces, more than 100 machine guns and nearly 5,000 long and short guns, was built up in this way, as for its combat effectiveness, Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo did not have too high expectations, this army is just their capital in the troubled times of the Republic of China. And Chiang Kai-shek, obviously, would be a very clever gambler.
