In 1917, there was a lot of snow in Saibei, but Han Zitai checked that there was a rare good weather in those two days, and then it lasted for more than ten days, and it didn't stop until the early morning today. The bad weather made Zhangjiakou look a little cold inside and outside, and the train station, which had always been bustling with people, was also empty, except for the occasional station guard who maintained order dangling in the hall.

Suddenly, there was a sound of neat footsteps on the long street outside the station, and hundreds of soldiers with neat appearances and powerful steps ran over with neat steps, leaving the station and the outside of the station impassable. The station policeman who was on duty was so shocked that he trembled, thinking that there was another big man who wanted to take the car, so he quickly went to the duty room to find Deputy Station Chief Sun who was on duty today.

Wearing a brown dogskin hat, a gray cloak, and black combat boots, Regiment Commander Tang marched into the hall of the Zhangjiakou Railway Station with his head held high, accompanied by more than a dozen people, including three battalion commanders, staff officers, and adjutants.

"Under Sun Shouren, he is the deputy stationmaster of the station, dare to ask this is ......" The sleepy-eyed deputy stationmaster Sun greeted him with a little trepidation, and his heart was full of surprise, he didn't hear that any important people arrived at the station today, and he didn't hear that there were any big people in Zhangjiakou City who wanted to travel, but he heard that there was a battalion of recruits in the capital.

"Tang Daodao, the commander of the Second Mixed Regiment of the Contemptible Army." Tang Zhidao took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "I will borrow your treasure land today." ”

"It turned out to be Head Tang, and I am fortunate to be happy! I don't know what arrangements Head Tang has? What needs to be done in the station? Stationmaster Sun hurriedly shook Commander Tang's hand with both hands and said, In this Zhangjiakou, it is also a well-informed person, and the weight of this young officer in the natural province. Although the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway Bureau was directly subordinate to the Ministry of Communications, and even the Chahar Prefecture could not interfere in its daily business activities, and ordinary army units had to communicate with the Ministry of Communications in advance if they wanted to take the train, the most important thing to speak about in this year was the military leaders of various walks of life who held heavy troops.

"An infantry battalion I am stationed in Gyeonggi arrived today to hold a welcome ceremony on the treasure land." Tang Zhidao clenched his fists and said, his words were quite polite. In the early years of the Republic of China, funds were tight almost everywhere, and military spending was also precarious, but only a very small number of yamen not only did not have any worries about financial shortages, but continued to eat and drink all day long, and earned a lot of income. The Ministry of Communications is one of them, and the Ministry of Communications is the most prominent in the five railway bureaus of Jinghan, Jingsui, Jingfeng, Jinpu and Shanghai-Nanjing, which are called "the God of Wealth by the Five Roads".

"This is easy to do, I'll arrange it, if Captain Tang has any requirements, just mention it!" When Deputy Stationmaster Sun heard this, it was too simple, and it was common for the railway to be sent to the railway, and it was a good thing to do this kind of thing.

"There's no requirement, just a little bit of a stretch." Tang Zhidao lowered his voice and said, "I am responsible for any expenses." "Originally, this kind of thing could be communicated by the Metropolitan Government, but after all, it was just a small meeting within the mixed group, and there was no need to make it known to everyone.

"Captain Tang said this, and he can still afford to stand up for this little money." Deputy Stationmaster Sun hurriedly waved his hand and said, and then retreated to arrange for people to prepare.

In less than half an hour, the inside and outside of the station were renovated, and a joyful atmosphere was quickly created.

"Let's go, go and wait on the platform!" Tang Zhidao looked at it with satisfaction, looked at the hands of the watch and commanded with a wave of his hand.

"Commander, isn't it a bit too much?" Zhou Wenruo reminded in a low voice that in these years, the most important thing is to pay attention to the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, how can there be a reason for the superiors to greet the subordinates with great fanfare.

"If I don't watch the train enter the station and Zhang Tuan and they get off, my heart will never be able to let go!" Tang Zhidao frowned and said, the pain in it may not be understood by others. …,

"There should be no problem." Zhou Wenruo said half-inquiring and half-comforting, in fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, in order to let this new barracks be built in the past few days, Regiment Commander Tang was very busy.

"No one can say for sure what happens to the Chinese people, and anything can happen before the train enters the station." Tang Zhidao said with a sigh as he walked. If it weren't for Hu Bingtao's timely reminder, he might not have noticed that the dishes on the plate were eaten in his mouth, and it took tens of thousands of oceans to dredge the joints before he finally barely escaped from the tiger's mouth. Most of the company and platoon officers of the third battalion were graduates of the Baoding Military Academy that year that Regiment Commander Tang asked for from the Baoding Military Academy through Vice Commander Fu, which was a precious resource that could hardly be bought. The huge Republic of China has such a relatively reliable army junior military school.

"This time it was really careless." Tang Zhidao secretly regretted that if he had just returned from Duolun and asked for the return of the third battalion, there would not be so much trouble. A well-trained, well-organized, and well-equipped infantry battalion is coveted wherever it is placed, and this trick of annexing dissidents is not the patent of your regimental commander Tang.

"I can finally see the old battalion commander again!" Among the crowd, Zuo Jiwu was the most excited, after all, he and Zhang Yuanhang had a lifelong friendship, and they had been together for more than ten years, and it was the first time that they had been separated for two or three months like this.

"yes, I haven't seen you for more than two months." Compared with Zuo Jiwu, Fu Mingyi is much more bland.

"I can get together with a few juniors, and I don't know how the training of recruits has been going for more than two months." Xiang Qianliang, the commander of the fourth battalion, has the least seniority among the four battalion commanders, and his graduation is only a little more than two years, but with Tang Zhidao, the instructor and regiment leader, the Baoding department in the mixed regiment is extremely united, and has become the backbone of the cohesion and morale of the army.

"Yupu, the telegram said that you will go to Zhangjiakou at one o'clock and three o'clock!" Looking down at his watch, Tang Zhidao looked at Zhou Wenruo a little anxiously and said, "It's almost two o'clock, why is there no movement at all?" ”

"The telegram said that it was about one and three o'clock, probably because of the poor road conditions in the snow." Zhou Wenruo hurriedly responded: "Why don't we go to the hall and wait, it's windy here." ”

"Wait a little longer." Tang Zhidao shook his head and said, at this time, snow was floating in the sky again, but the snowflakes were relatively small, flying around in the wind like catkins.

"Captain Tang, everything is ready." Deputy stationmaster Sun walked the platform at this time and said to Tang Zhidao: "However, the news from Xuanhua Station is that the train is late, and it is estimated that it will not arrive in Zhangjiakou until about four o'clock." ”

"You've already opened Xuanhua Station?" Tang Zhidao was relieved when he heard this, and asked.

"Well, it's already out of Xuanhua Station." Deputy Stationmaster Sun said earnestly: "It's windy here, let's wait in the hall, drink hot tea and pass for a while." ”

"Good, good! Let's go, go to the lobby and wait! "It's late, it's late! It seems that the train delay has a long historical origin, Tang Zhidao is really relieved this time, and he will not really let his brothers stand in this snow for an hour.

"Dudu ......" With a few long whistles, a train full of soldiers stopped on the platform of Zhangjiakou Railway Station.

"Line up!"

"Shoot!"

"Bang Bang"

As soon as he got out of the carriage of the train, Zhang Yuanhang, lieutenant colonel of the Second Mixed Regiment of the Army and deputy commander of the third battalion, was immediately shocked by the welcoming scene in front of him, and was stunned at the door of the carriage for a while.

"Brother Zhang, we finally met again." Tang Zhidao strode forward and stretched out his hand to Zhang Yuanhang.

"Report to the regiment commander, Zhang Yuanhang, deputy regiment and commander of the third battalion, and 582 officers and soldiers of the third battalion are here to report!" Zhang Yuanhang saluted a standard military salute.

"Homecoming!" Tang Zhidao replied with a military salute and commanded.

"Yes!" Only then did Zhang Yuanhang step forward and hold Tang Zhidao's hand and said with a smile: "The regiment commander is too polite, engaging in such a big battle, I was so scared that I almost didn't dare to get out of the car." ”…,

"Yes, I hope that the stars and the moon have finally brought you here." Tang Zhidao pulled Zhang Yuanhang and said enthusiastically, it took a lot of twists and turns for the three battalions to be successfully rebuilt this time.

"Commander, I'll go and straighten out the team first." Zhang Yuanhang saw that the officers and soldiers behind him got off one after another, and naturally he didn't want his new barracks to look chaotic and lose face.

"Then I'll talk about it later, and let me see the results of more than two months of training." Tang Zhidao nodded and said, don't underestimate this getting on and off the train, getting in and out of the station, it is an excellent test for the army of this era. Messing around, you squeezing me, people stepping on people is one kind, orderly advance and retreat, step-by-step, orderly is another.

"Follow Me Continuously"

"Follow Me in the Second Company"

…………

More than 10 minutes later, more than 500 officers and men of the Third Battalion marched out of the Zhangjiakou Railway Station in a procession under the leadership of officers at all levels and headed directly to the barracks prepared in advance. In the whole process, the order was orderly, the army was neat, and Tang Zhidao, who saw it, nodded straightly, and the money and effort spent were not in vain.

IN JANUARY 1917, WITH THE DEPARTURE OF THE THIRD BATTALION STATIONED IN GYEONGGI TO ZHANGJIAKOU, THE SECOND MIXED REGIMENT OF THE ARMY WAS FINALLY FULLY EQUIPPED, WITH FOUR INFANTRY BATTALIONS, AN ARTILLERY COMPANY, A MACHINE GUN COMPANY, A FOUR-PLATOON CAVALRY COMPANY, A FOUR-ROW ENGINEER COMPANY, A BAGGAGE COMPANY, A RECONNAISSANCE TEAM AND A GUARD PLATOON DIRECTLY UNDER THE REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS, WITH A TOTAL OF ABOUT 3,500 PEOPLE, BASICALLY EQUIPPED WITH 7.9MM AND 6.5MM CALIBER SPEARS, AND 11 ARTILLERY PIECES OF VARIOUS TYPES, MAKING IT THE LARGEST REGIMENT-LEVEL UNIT IN THE ENTIRE REPUBLIC OF CHINA AT THIS TIME.
