Chapter 768: Good news spreads
Noon on the 23rd. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Okay, Luo Madman, they fought well, this time, this old devil of Tu Feiyuan should be in pain." Leng Feng received a telegram from Luo Yufeng, and he was excited to shoot directly. Leg.
"Yes, I didn't expect the new 38th Division to be so strong in combat and so capable of fighting, if only it could be assigned to our new First Army, it would be good." Xie Jiyuan said with a smile.
"Lao Xie, your idea is good, but I'm afraid our Chairman Jiang won't agree." Leng Feng listened and shook his head with a wry smile, although the upgrade of the honorary first division to the army was already a certainty, but because of the Luxi war, he had been postponing the upgrade, and he was just making some preliminary preparations for the upgrade.
Of course, the documents and orders of the Wuhan Command have already been issued, and the officers and soldiers below also know about it, and this matter is not a secret.
Leng Feng also took advantage of this upgraded east wind to raise the morale of the troops, although it is said that it is the duty to be a soldier to fight and defend the country, but people always have a little selfishness, who doesn't want to glorify their ancestors?
How can this glorify the ancestors, but also have reputation and status, meritorious service on the battlefield and awards, and then promotion and salary increase, naturally have reputation and status.
Everyone has the heart of fame and fortune, and we can't ask everyone to have no desires and no desires, then it's not human nature, people are complex animals, and the set of preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires is that the original author who said this did not do it.
However, Leng Feng postponed the promotion time, which actually did not mean to test officers at all levels.
Lu Xi's battle is fought, and those who perform well, have accumulated military merits, and they can naturally be promoted to another level, if they don't perform well, or even slack off, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand still.
This new round of personnel readjustment is also an expectation for the officers and men of the whole division.
The cold front presses people without making adjustments in advance, and its intention is exactly that, sometimes, the temptation of fame and fortune. Confusion is more appealing than mere agitation.
Fully mobilize the subjective enthusiasm below, it used 100% of the effort, but now it is 12%, this is efficiency, of course, there is competition.
There is also a clear smell of competition between squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, individuals and the whole, and even among the staff members of the division headquarters.
The staff officers of the division headquarters who perform well may go directly to the next level and go to the military headquarters, while those who do not perform well may go down and remain in the command structure at the division level.
However, this division-level command structure is completely different from the original organization of the honorary first division headquarters, and although there will be no change in the position and salary, the status is definitely much worse.
So, no one is trying to express themselves as much as possible and work more actively.
This change is gratifying, Leng Feng is naturally optimistic, healthy competition, and stimulating the enterprising spirit and potential of his subordinates, which has also made Leng Feng gain a lot of himself, which has made the experience of employing and controlling people deeper.
In the past, he never thought about this, after all, he was in that position, so he didn't need to think too much, but now it's different, he has to think about it, otherwise, he won't be able to control this huge force.
The ancients said well, not in their position, not in their politics, when you are in that position, you will think about problems in this position.
Don't look at the difference between the division commander and the army commander, there are still those people under his hands, but the status is by no means the same, in addition to the rank and rank of the officer, there is also political status and so on.
Of course, Leng Feng is mainly thinking about military matters, especially now, the tedious chores are basically handled by Xie Jiyuan and Shen Zhiming, and he only focuses on fighting.
Xie Jiyuan was silent for a moment, he was the chief of staff of the honorary first division, although it was not for a long time, but he knew some things, Leng Feng, the division commander, on the surface, obeyed the orders of the Wuhan Military Commission and Chairman Jiang, but in fact, he had a lot of autonomy, and the reason was that he pulled out this team himself.
When the GJ who was defending Nanjing retreated, there was no organization and order at all, and the officers themselves ran away first, and the soldiers ran in a hurry, and these officers and soldiers who had lost Nanjing were finally forced to throw down their guns and enter the international safety zone.
In this way, they have not yet received the safety of their lives, and the Japanese army has no intention of letting them go, slaughtering them for no reason, and facing the threat of death every day......
These people hate the Japanese army, but they don't necessarily treat the government much better in their hearts, especially those GJ generals who abandon their soldiers and only care about their own lives.
Although the 1st Honorary Division belongs to the lineage of the Central Army, it is a despised branch in the lineage, because they used to be prisoners and cowards who fled into refugee camps......
Therefore, the more victorious the first division of honor became, the more it was squeezed out, and it was not recognized by the so-called central military lineage, but it just had a very high position in the minds of the people.
When a person sees that someone who is inferior to him, or even who he did not look down on at all, suddenly becomes stronger than himself, he instinctively produces a kind of rejection or jealousy.
And when this person who originally looked down on him gets stronger and stronger, his jealousy will become stronger and stronger, so many generals of Army G don't like Leng Feng, don't like to talk about the honorary first division, and have some sarcastic words in private.
Even Chairman Chiang, who is the head of the Military Commission, is estimated to be a little uncomfortable, but he will not show it, maybe he will wonder why another person led the defeated soldiers in the Nanjing International Security Zone out of Nanjing?
Is it Leng Feng, a kid who is unknown and has no reverence for himself?
Lao Chiang had high hopes for the new 38th Division, which was formed on this basis after gathering some of the remnants of a unit that had broken through from the front of Nanjing.
In the GJ sequence, it seems to have a cleaner resume than the Honor First Division, and Luo Yufeng was also an excellent middle-level officer before, and if he is placed in other units, he can at least be a regiment commander.
And Luo Yufeng is relatively older, stable, mature in thought, does not have so many young people's edges and corners, and is more loyal to the "principal".
And these Leng Feng don't have it, he is too young, and he still has some bad deeds before, although the prodigal son turned back, but his personality is too rebellious, he can fight, he can also cause trouble, act regardless of the consequences, go his own way, maverick, such a person is an alternative in GJ, a thorn in the head, not liked by the peak, this is normal.
But some people's abilities and light can't be hidden, no matter how much Lao Jiang doesn't like Leng Feng in his heart, but under this crisis of having no eggs under the nest, he needs someone to help him turn the tide.
If it were a different situation, Lao Jiang would never have indulged him so much.
Leng Feng himself figured this out after thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't care, he didn't have too much ambition for this era.
He just wants to change a history that will be regretted by future generations, and the rest may be passers-by in his life, even if he may never be able to go back.
Fortunately, he didn't feel lonely, and there were a group of sincere people who accompanied him to work hard and fight for this country and this nation together.
"Master, if Master Luo is willing to ...... himself"
"Don't mention this matter again, the new 38th Division is independent, it is not harmful to us, our strength is expanding too fast, and people will be jealous." Leng Feng said categorically.
"Master, the body is not afraid of shadows, and we haven't done anything unseemly, so why care about other people's gossip?"
"In the long run, it will be good for us to list the new 38th Division separately." Xie Jiyuan understood Leng Feng's painstaking efforts, the new 38th Brigade had the opportunity to be merged into the Honorary First Division before, but now that it has been upgraded to a division, it is completely unnecessary.
"Still old Xie understands me."
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Deputy Brigade Commander Zhang of the new 39th Brigade called, our brigade has occupied Liangshan County at 1:13 pm on the 23rd, annihilated a squadron of the Japanese army, and is now cleaning the battlefield. Zhang Zhongling, deputy commander of the new 39th Brigade. ”
"Oh, two good news in a row, it seems that we are double happy today!" Leng Feng laughed, and the occupation of Liangshan, although it was not a big victory, it was of great significance to the next move.
This was an important step for Leng Feng to occupy Puyang and cut off the supply line of the Tufeiyuan Division.
"Call back, let him leave a regiment to garrison Liangshan, the main force from the vicinity of the road to find favorable terrain, build a pontoon bridge, cross the river, and at the same time notify Liang Dong and ask him to send someone to answer on the other side of the river, and ask Zhang Zhongling, how long will it take him?" Leng Feng calmly and solemnly ordered.
"The Yanggu of Xi'an on the Yellow River is operated by a unit of our Luxi People's Army, and perhaps we can use them to help hide the whereabouts of our new 39th Brigade."
"It's okay, it's best to hide the eyes of Kenji Dophihara, but if you can't hide it, you can't do it, send a telegram to General Fan, asking him to order the Luxi People's Army in Yanggu County to cooperate with us to cross the river."
"Shuming, you can do this." Xie Jiyuan summoned Fan Shuming and gave an order.
"Division, Deputy Chief of Staff Liao called, the 3rd Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army, under the attack of our new 40th Brigade and Wu Shaozhou's Independent Brigade, withdrew from Dongping and retreated in the direction of Tai'an."
"This is another good news, it seems that today is not a double happiness, but a third happiness."
"Okay, I have to send a report to Shangfeng quickly and report the good news."
"The annunciation is for it, but then, we occupy these places, what should we do with them?" Leng Feng said.
"This is a problem, we can't always stay in Luxi, judging from the actions of the Japanese army, they will soon make a comeback, our forces are too scattered, and we are a field army, not a local security regiment, which will undoubtedly drag us down, even if we need a place to garrison, but it is not a place in Luxi, this is not suitable as a long-term garrison for us." Xie Jiyuan also found out.
"Don't care so much for now, send a telegram to Deputy Chief of Staff Liao, telling him that we should pull out the nails that have entered our bodies, and now we should reorganize the troops, and strive to raise the combat effectiveness of the Luxi People's Army in the shortest possible time." Leng Feng said, "In this way, even if we leave, we can leave a batch of seeds that can be beaten." ”
"Yes!"
Caozhou, the headquarters of the 14th Division, on the third day, the Tufeiyuan Division was almost still standing still, and the troops only symbolically moved forward a few kilometers.
There has been no substantial progress.
This makes the GJ high-level think that this Tohihara Kenji is not stimulated, a little broken jar?
Is this still the cunning and wise Kenji Dohihara?
No, this is by no means the same Kenji Tsuchihara, it's just that at this moment, Tohihara has been hit one after another, and his heart has begun to hurt again, and he is sick.
"The commander of the division, the commander of the Sakai brigade called, Liangshan ......"
"Don't say it, I see." Kenji Dohihara lay on the bed, raised his hand slightly, and didn't let the chief of staff, Tadayoshi Sano, continue, "I have long known that he doesn't like to be beaten passively, and the time to come is finally here." ”
"What do you mean, division commander?"
"Check, whether the Chinese J in the Yanzhou area has entered Luxi." Kenji Dohihara commanded with his eyes closed.
"Division commander, do you suspect that the unit of the Honorary First Division in the Yanzhou area is no longer there?"
"With the few guns of the Luxi Anti-Japanese People's Army, some of my troops will be pinned down at most, but if you want to capture Liangshan, you will never have this ability." Kenji Dohihara opened his eyes and swept towards Tadayoshi Sano with a shocked gaze.
"Understood, division commander."
