At this time, the population of Laiyuan County was far less than it is now, with only thousands of residents. Due to the stationing of the security brigade, the originally deserted county town is now very lively, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most prosperous county seat in the Taihang Mountains.

When Xiao Guodong first arrived with his troops, the residents were scared. Because in the past, whether it was the troops of the Beiyang Army, or the Northeast Army, when the Jin Sui Army was here, forced buying and selling, extortion and extortion often occurred, and the residents hid when they saw the soldiers. On the day Xiao Guodong arrived in Laiyuan, he issued a proclamation: "The security brigade is the Hebei people's own army, which was established to protect the people of Hebei to live and work in peace and contentment. And the military discipline of the security brigade was published in the bulletin. It is forbidden to oppress the people; It is forbidden to molest women; The residents were impressed by the fair trade rules, which were rarely written into military discipline, and finally, the proclamation also asked the residents to help supervise them. At first, the residents were a little unimpressed, but soon the residents discovered that this security brigade wearing grass green military uniforms was indeed very different from the previous troops. Not only are the colors of the uniforms different, but as the notice says, they treat people and trade fairly. In the teahouse, the restaurant also paid the bill according to the price, never on credit, and it seemed that these soldiers were very rich. For a time, the buying and selling shops inside and outside the city were very prosperous, especially the sales of meat and vegetables increased greatly, and the daily supply of pork to the army alone cost nearly 10,000 catties. Because the troops lived outside the city, a huge farmers' market had now spontaneously formed outside the south gate.

It has been 3 days since Song Zhewu arrived in Laiyuan, and he could not begin to rearrange and expand his troops until Shang Zhen's 4 supplementary regiments arrived. Therefore, on the evening of his arrival, he met with several of his generals, and accompanied by Xiao Guodong, he took a look at all the newly built military camps, including the garrisons of the troops stationed on the main roads of the mountain passes outside, and was very satisfied and happy. The supplementary regiment arrived at Laiyuan at noon yesterday, and early this morning, Song Zhewu gathered all the officers above the platoon commander level of the brigade to his brigade headquarters at Geyuan Temple.

Geyuan Temple is located in the middle of the city, Geyuan Temple is commonly known as the big temple, covers an area of 900 square meters, the existing Tianwang Palace, Manjushri Palace, East and West with the Palace, Tibetan Scripture Building, East and West Zen Room and other buildings, there are matching rooms on the left and right. In addition to the Wenshu Temple, the other buildings of the Geyuan Temple were built in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Wenshu Hall is the oldest, the building age is 16 years of Liaoying calendar, more than 1,000 years ago. Song Zhewu came here with a tour group in his previous life, and he couldn't help but think about things and people, and he was full of emotion.

Although the security brigade has not yet been expanded, there are more than 200 officers above the platoon commander level in the brigade. There were two long tables in front of the room, Song Zhewu and Xiao Guodong sat behind the table in the middle, and Chu Feng, Wang Xinggang, and the two staff officers who recorded sat behind the other side table. The courtyard opposite them was filled with benches, with 11 square tables placed in front of them from left to right, and three chairs behind each table. On the bench in the front row on the far left sat a regiment commander, Zhang Yafei, as well as a deputy regiment commander and chief of staff. Behind them sat a regiment of battalion company commanders. The same is true of the second regiment next to them alone. Then there were the three regiments, the artillery regiment, the cavalry battalion, the baggage battalion and the brigade personnel. The third regiment now has only one battalion, and the artillery regiment is also understaffed. Except for the first two regiments, the other units had very few personnel.

These officers already knew that this meeting was an expansion meeting, and it was also a promotion meeting, and after the meeting, many people would be promoted, and everyone was very excited, but they all tried their best to suppress it and did not dare to show it. Song Zhewu's first 18,000 people were all peasants and students, none of whom had ever been a soldier before, except for a few senior officers who were originally invited by Song Zhewu, all the other battalion and company cadres, including several deputy regiment commanders and regimental chiefs of staff, were all student farmers who had grown up through the personal training of Song Zhewu and others, and had a strong sense of identity with Song Zhewu. And Song Zhewu is usually very kind to soldiers, but he has always been unsmiling at officers, of course, he is still very casual to Zhang Yafei and others.

Seeing that the time was up, Xiao Guodong whispered a few words to Song Zhewu, stood up, and announced the meeting: "Brothers, before the meeting, I will read out the telegram of Chairman Shang Zhen of Hebei Province. "Song Zhewu stood up first, and the officers below also stood up to listen to the order." Hebei Province, since the Republic of China, after war, the people are miserable, although the second northern expedition of the national political axe, expelled the remnants of Beiyang, but so far the territory of the rout of the bandits are still numerous, repeatedly suppressed. Today, Zhewu, the commander of the Song Brigade of the Hebei Security Brigade, was concerned about the suffering of the people, and was ordered by the Hebei Provincial Political Axe, on July 21, 17 years of the Republic of China, he personally led a battalion of subordinates, outnumbered the enemy, and bravely attacked thousands of bandits in Yangjiazhuang, Laiyuan, and killed more than 1,000 bandits. To this end, Song Zhewu, commander of the Security Brigade, was appointed as the commander of the Hebei Security Command, and Xiao Guodong, former chief of staff of the Security Brigade, was appointed as the chief of staff of the Hebei Security Command. This order, Hebei Provincial Political Axe Chairman Shang Zhen. Another: This order has been reported to the Central Political Axe Military and Political Department for the record. ”

Xiao Guodong then took out another telegram and continued to read: "The Hebei Provincial Security Brigade, on July 21, the 17th year of the Republic of China, Laiyuan bravely attacked the bandits and killed nearly 1,000 bandits. This move is actually the Hebei Provincial Political Axe is concerned about the people's suffering, for the government in a proper way, especially into the Hebei Provincial Political Axe Chairman Lieutenant General Shang Zhen, and Hebei Security Commander Colonel Song Zhewu to the rank of Major General. This order, the Ministry of the People's Republic of China. ”

After Xiao Guodong read out the order, Song Zhewu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down: "Brothers, two years ago, you were all workers, peasants, and students, and today you have all grown up to be officers of the security brigade. "Thank you, Commander, for cultivating!" I don't know who shouted first, and then all the officers who sat down, including Zhang Yafei and others, stood up together: "Thank you for the commander's cultivation!" ”

Song Zhewu's opening remarks just now just now just want to remind everyone that I gave you all this. The current situation made Song Zhewu very satisfied. After motioning for everyone to sit down, he continued: "Not only thank me, but also thank yourselves, without your own efforts, there would be no today. It has not been easy for our security brigade to go through ups and downs in the past two years, but we have come through it and become a unit with strong combat effectiveness. A large part of the credit goes to you, and it is precisely because of you, the grassroots officers, who have played a strong role, and it is precisely because of you that our troops have strong combat effectiveness, and it can be said that you are the guarantee for the continuous development and growth of our security brigade. Everyone already knows that today's meeting is an expanded conference, and to put it bluntly, it is a promotion conference for all of you. There was a happy and excited laugh from below.

"At a meeting, the chief of staff will read out the appointments of the officers of each regiment and battalion, and the appointment of officers below the battalion level shall be appointed by each regiment itself; after announcing the appointments, everyone will immediately return to the unit, immediately hand over the work, and report the officers below the battalion level to the headquarters for approval in the afternoon. However, I would like to remind you that although everyone has been promoted, you need to pay close attention to the training of the expanded troops, and tomorrow all regiment-level officers will hold a meeting, that is, to announce a new training plan, and the training volume of this plan will be far stronger than the previous training volume, and they will be assessed every month, and those who fail to pass the test will be withdrawn. It's clear to everyone, no? "Hear me clearly."

Song Zhewu listened to the loud answers of the officers below and was very relieved. Since the establishment of this army, Song Zhewu has deliberately cultivated the sense of competitiveness among officers, including soldiers, and he knows that after returning home, these people will work hard to train their troops.

Then Xiao Guodong began to announce the establishment of the army and the appointment of officers.

This time, the security brigade was expanded into six infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment with an establishment of 2,000 people, a baggage regiment, a special forces brigade, and brigade-level troops. Before announcing the chief and deputy head of a regiment, Chief of Staff He , the three of them had to sit down behind the table set up in front of them. When the battalion and company commander was announced, the new battalion and company commander sat down on a stool behind his regimental commander. Among them, Zhang Yafei, commander of the 1st Regiment, Gao Zongbao, commander of the 2nd Regiment, Zhang Tao, commander of the 3rd Regiment, and the commanders of the 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments were respectively succeeded by the former deputy commanders of the 123rd Regiment, Wei Guanghui, commander of the cavalry regiment, Wu Jin, commander of the baggage regiment, and Wang Xu, former commander of the communications battalion, were appointed as auxiliary deputy staff officers, responsible for the work of the telecommunications department and the communications battalion of the headquarters.

Song Zhewu originally wanted to set up three infantry brigades, with the current three regiment commanders as the brigade commanders, but Xiao Guodong opposed it and set it up into three brigades, which were obviously division-level units, which were too conspicuous and not conducive to future development. In order to appease these regiment commanders, Song Zhewu and Xiao Guodong specially hosted a banquet for them last night, explained the appointment to them, and promised on the spot that a division would be set up within two years, and they were all division commanders.

Today is still two more.,For the sake of the dark blue is working hard.,Give a recommendation ticket.,Don't forget to collect.。 Navy will try to write as hard as possible.
