Chapter 957: Deputy Commander Du (2)
"Did you call?"
"Hit. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What did he say?"
There was a hint of disbelief in his tone, but he was excited to hear it, and he should have gone to find someone to verify it.
"Got it, your point will be removed immediately, and all traces will be removed."
"Understood."
Supervision Department of the Hankou Garrison Command.
"Sister Yun, what is the origin of this Du Guangting, the military seat attaches so much importance to him?" Yao Heizi asked.
"He is an old man's important person, a leading general who will be in charge in the future, do you think it is worth paying attention to?" Wu Xiaoyun explained.
"In that case, can we still pull him over?"
"Whether it can be achieved or not, it takes effort to know, but anyone who has the ability is proud of his talents, even if he can't become our person, he can't be our enemy."
"But he's obviously going for us, why should we help him?"
"If you were asked to choose the deputy commander of the new First Army, which one would you choose, Li Yaojie and Du Guangting?" Wu Xiaoyun asked.
"Li Yaojie, I heard that this person is very brave in battle and very famous." Yao Heizi said without hesitation.
"That's why you can only be a captain of operations, not a military commander."
"Sister Yun, why is this, do you want to choose Du Guangting?"
"If Li Yaojie goes to the New First Army, he will not move for a long time, unless his relationship with the military seat is to the point of the overall situation, otherwise, the old man will not be transferred, and Du Guangting is different, he went to the New First Army to take up a post, not to grab power, as soon as the time comes, he will naturally leave when he gets what he wants."
"I understand, but what if Chairman Jiang finally chooses Li Yaojie?"
"Then there is only one way, tie him to our chariot completely!" Wu Xiaoyun said heavily.
Yao Heizi gave Wu Xiaoyun a thumbs up.
Early the next morning, Du Guangting got up and drove to Luojia Mountain.
"I said Guangting, you are really an anxious person, I haven't woken up yet, and you are here." Lin Wei worked beside Lao Jiang every day, slept late every day, and before he got up, Du Guangting went to his residence.
"I'm really sorry, Brother Weiwen, I want to ask you something?"
"What's the matter?"
"Is the principal looking for someone to serve as the deputy commander of the new First Army?" Du Guangting asked.
"Where did you hear about this?"
"Brother Weiwen, don't care where I heard it from, just say, is there such a thing?" Du Guangting asked eagerly.
"There is such a thing, but Mr. Jiang is still thinking about it." Lin Wei nodded, Lao Jiang had explained, this matter could not be disclosed to Du Guangting, if he knew, there would be even more reason to stay in Wuhan and not leave.
"I'll go!"
"You, don't be kidding, it's not going down to gild, it's really going to be Leng Guoguang's deputy." Lin Wei said solemnly, he guessed a little bit of Lao Jiang's thoughts, controlling the new army was his ultimate goal, although Du Guangting was a good candidate, but Lao Jiang had other uses.
Du Guangting hesitated, he planned to steal the division to learn, he didn't plan to stay in the New First Army for long, the 200th division was his goal.
"Do you still want to go now?"
Du Guangting's mind flashed, and he instantly understood the true meaning of the phone call in the middle of the night, someone wanted him to go to the New First Army, so he called him.
And why did he not get Lao Jiang's consent to the idea of going to the New First Army for a temporary post, the crux of the problem is here, if he goes, how to arrange the position, even if he is suspended, he must have a position.
You can't let him go to the New First Army to be a lieutenant general and senior staff, generally this kind of position is given to those frustrated generals, basically the future of the army is over.
He Du Guangting is in the prime of life, the commander of the 200th Division, among the generals of the first phase of Huangpu, that is also ranked in the upper ranks, a general who is so highly regarded suddenly goes to be a senior staff, which will arouse the suspicion of many people.
The establishment of the new First Army is two divisions, and the commander of one division, Leng Feng, must be concurrently concurrent, and the commander of another division is given to Sun Zhongren, if Lao Jiang wants to take it, he must also consider the idea of his eldest brother, Sun Zhongren also has an American background, and now he also needs to use it.
So it is impossible to be a division commander, if you are a deputy division commander, you can let Du Guangting go, he is a division commander of 200 divisions, demoted to deputy division commander, and he has been demoted without making a mistake, which is not good.
Therefore, only the position of deputy commander is suitable.
The problem is that he wants to install a person in the new army who can replace Leng Feng at any time, not to say that he will leave in a few days, he is still bothering to find one, so he doesn't know when he wants to control this army.
After weighing it again and again, Lao Jiang naturally didn't want Du Guangting to be the deputy commander, and for Du Guangting, this position was also a bright rise and a secret fall.
It is clear at a glance who is more powerful between the division commander of the only heavy mechanized armored infantry division of a country and the deputy commander of an army.
"Guangting, don't you understand the headmaster's thoughts?" Lin Wei actually wanted to persuade Du Guangting to give up the idea of going to the New First Army.
He is also thinking about Lao Jiang, who has been worried about this matter for a long time in the past few days, weighing left and right, and has never been able to make up his mind.
"Brother Weiwen, I still want to go to the New First Army, I have my reasons!" Du Guangting was still a little hesitant, but as soon as Lin Wei reminded him, he suddenly opened up.
"Guangting, you have to think clearly, this is not a joke." Lin Wei was stunned, why didn't Du Guangting listen to people's persuasion, when it came to this, why did he still screw it with the principal, isn't this a joke about his future?
"Brother Weiwen, I have figured it out, when will the principal see me?" Du Guangting said solemnly with his eyes.
"Okay, I'll report to you in a while, you wait here with me, if the principal sees you, I'll send someone to call you over!" Lin Weidao.
Lin Wei's place of residence is not very far from Lao Jiang's official residence, he is the director of the attendant room, and he usually has to follow the left and right, of course, he can't be too far away.
"Thank you, Brother Weiwen."
"You're welcome!" After Lin Wei freshened up a little, he went to work in the waiter's room to report.
Not long after Lao Jiang got up, he had breakfast, accompanied by the guards, and walked on the mountain road, Luojia Mountain has been classified as a military ban. area, so Lao Jiang was able to walk out at will, and he didn't dare to go too far, and he had to go into the bomb shelter at any time.
Although the location of Lao Chiang's official residence was not exposed, this area was a military ban demarcated by the national government. The district is no longer a secret.
"Weiwen is here."
"Good morning, sir."
"It's not early, if it weren't a cloudy day, the sun would have risen in mid-air." Lao Jiang sat in a gray robe, accompanied by several attendants and military attachés of Jiang Xiaozhen, and came out to relax.
"Sir, Du Guangting is here, are you seeing or not seeing it now?" Lin Wei asked in a low voice.
"This light pavilion, he's really an anxious son." Old Jiang said flatly, "Has the commander of the 3rd Division arrived?" ”
"Not yet, the train that Master Li took arrived in Hankou early this morning, and it is estimated that it will take more than an hour to cross the river by steamer." Lin Wei explained.
"Then let him wait a while, and I'll see you two later." Lao Jiang commanded.
"Okay." Lin Wei nodded, he understood that Lao Jiang was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and wanted to dry Du Guangting for a while, which could be regarded as giving him a time to calm down again.
"A few days ago, Leng Guoguang sent me a telegram, saying that the new First Army lacked two deputy division commanders and several deputy brigade commanders, and hoped that a few capable talents could be transferred from other units to support it.
"Okay, what time is it?"
"Ten o'clock."
Leng Feng really didn't expect Lao Jiang to give him a few talents, he was afraid that he would secretly bury nails for him, if it was someone from the military command, then he didn't have to worry, Wu Xiaoyun was an old man from the military commander, and if he sent someone from the military commander, it would be to deliver food, but if it was the central commander, it would be difficult to say.
This is not a system, and besides, there are more traitors in the Central Command than in the military, and No. 76 is not formed by the backbone of the traitors in the Central Command?
His mentor Yang Gengguang recommended a candidate for him, this person Leng Feng saw that his head was big and he was too familiar, but it was really not easy to get him.
This person is now under Chen Cixiu, and he is still quite highly regarded, serving as the chief of staff of the major general of the 54th Army, and he is basically one of the core figures of the "civil engineering department".
Such a person, is Chen Cixiu willing to let him come to the new army?
Leng Feng doesn't have to think about it, he knows that Chen Cixiu will not release people, and the battle of Wuhan is about to start, how can Chen Cixiu release people?
In addition, the people that Comrade Lao Yang values are all elites in the army, who are in important positions, and it is not easy to get them.
Moreover, Comrade Yang's students are basically at the level of generals, and it is very difficult to transfer them at this level, but it is much easier if they are colonel-level officers, and now who is not willing to come to the most elite new army?
In any case, the teacher still provided a few good candidates, at least it was better than catching a few by himself.
According to the candidates on the list, send people to contact them one by one, if they are interested, then operate, if they are unwilling, then they can't be forced.
Li Yaojie led his troops all the way west, and suddenly received a telegram from the Military Committee on the way, asking him to hurry to Wuhan to report and hand over the troops to his deputy Zhao Xitian to lead.
He was so confused, why did he suddenly call him to Wuhan?
Ask no one to know the situation, the soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty, so he can only leave the army and go first.
When I got off at the Hankou Railway Station, there were already people waiting for the pick-up, so I got on the bus and went straight to the wharf, and then took a small fire ferry to cross the river.
I found out that the principal personally summoned him, but he didn't know anything, so he went all the way up Luojia Mountain, tidied up his appearance a little, and was led all the way to a huge air-raid shelter.
Lao Chiang worked in the air-raid shelter during the day, hiding from the bombing of Japanese planes.
The passer actually looked at an acquaintance, an old classmate Du Guangting.
The two met and exchanged two words.
As soon as Du Guangting saw Li Yaojie, he already knew that Li Yaojie was the reserve candidate for the deputy commander of the New First Army, and he was not even a reserve.
Otherwise, Lao Jiang would not have summoned the two of them at the same time.
But from Li Yao's steps, Zhang Feng. On the face of the dusty servant, Du Guangting also saw that he didn't know what he was called back for.
"Report!"
"Please come in."
"Sir, Du Guangting and Li Yaojie have arrived."
"Please come in with the two of them." Lao Jiang nodded and commanded.
Lin Wei agreed, went out and led the two in.
"Student Du Guangting, Li Yaojie has seen the principal!" The two raised their heads and chests, and put their feet together to give Lao Jiang a military salute.
"Guangting and Yao Jie are here, sit, sit." Lao Jiang got up to greet him, although there is a friendship between teachers and students, but he can't always put a teacher's shelf, which is an attitude that catches people's hearts.
"Principal Xie."
"Yaojie has worked hard all the way."
"It's not hard!" Li Yaojie didn't know what was going on, he accidentally ran into Du Guangting just now, and he didn't have time to ask Lin Wei about it, so he didn't have any bottom in his heart.
"Yaojie, I urgently summoned you to the New First Army, what do you think?" Lao Jiang didn't ask Du Guangting, he asked Li Yaojie directly.
Li Yaojie was startled, and just sat down with a fart. The stock involuntarily raised up: "Principal, you let the students go to the New First Army?" ”
"Sit, sit down and talk, don't be so reserved."
"Yes, Headmaster." Li Yaojie was really shocked, he didn't think about it when he came, but he couldn't think of one thing that couldn't be beaten by these eight poles.
"Headmaster......
"Guangting, don't talk yet." Old Jiang snorted lightly.
Du Guangting's face was pale, and he quickly closed his mouth. Bar.
Li Yaojie is also the head of the first division, and his brain is not stupid, and when he looks at this situation, he somewhat understands that Lao Jiang wants to choose one of the two people from him and Du Guangting to serve in the new First Army.
Du Guangting is now the commander of the 200th Division, and he naturally knows what kind of unit the 200th Division is.
Then it's just him.
"Headmaster, students are at your disposal." Li Yaojie stood up and said solemnly.
"Okay, good, sit down." Lao Jiang is satisfied with Li Yaojie's attitude, this is his own good student, a real soldier's style.
"Yes."
"Guangting, you came to see me today, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Principal, students want to go to the New First Army for temporary training." Du Guangting didn't care, if he retreated, Li Yaojie's appointment to the new First Army would be decided.
"Why?"
"The students want to know how Leng Guoguang repeatedly defeated the Japanese army on the battlefield, and why he can do what we can't do." Du Guangting said loudly.
"This is the reason why you have to leave your own troops and go to the new army?"
"No, the principal handed over the first mechanized division of the party-state to the students, and the students must take him well, and the principal must not be embarrassed, so he must continue to study, the armored charge tactics of the New First Army are exactly what the 200th Division needs, which is another reason for the students to ask to go to the New First Army for temporary posts."
"The reason barely makes sense." Lao Jiang nodded, although his military command ability is not good, but at least he is knowledgeable, Du Guangting must have seen the tactical use of the New First Army with his own eyes, so he moved this idea.
"The students thought that if we could learn the experience of the New First Army, it would be beneficial to us both against the Japanese army and against Army G in the future."
A glimmer of light flashed in Lao Jiang's eyes, Du Guangting's words spoke to his heart, from his heart, Ri himself is not a big trouble, the real big trouble is those people in Yan'an.
Li Yaojie understood that Du Guangting wanted to go to the New First Army for a temporary post, but Lao Jiang disagreed, Lao Jiang wanted him to go, but he might not really be willing to go.
Of course, he did not exclude it, after all, he was on the battlefield in Xuzhou, and he also knew more or less about the achievements of the New First Army, and he also knew that the New First Army was different from other national army units, well-equipped, strong in combat effectiveness, and almost never lost to the Japanese army.
Being able to serve in such a unit is very attractive to enterprising officers, but it is much less attractive to generals at the level of brigade commander and division commander.
