It wasn't until the third day after the war that the reinforcements from Zhangjiakou faltered over, and at this moment the city had settled down, and Tan Zhentai, who had disappeared for many days, also came out to preside over the official duties of the town guard embassy, and there was no embarrassment like a few days ago, but at this time there were few people in the city who were willing to listen to him, the empty boss who had lost his military power. Even so, in the welcome procession outside the West City Gate today, Tan Zongrui still stood at the forefront, after all, the qualifications of the people were there. It is also his ability to show off his old qualifications with Master Cai, who came from afar today, and Cai Chengxun was only admitted to the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy under his recommendation and embarked on the road of Qingyun.

"Brother Huchen is really timely rain, he just came to Menggang and fled." Outside the city, as soon as Tan Zongrui saw Cai Chengxun, the commander of the First Division of the Army, who was riding on a jujube red horse, he greeted him and said courteously: "I haven't seen my brother for many years, and I am getting more and more energetic. ”

"This can't be helped, you are an old-timer in the military world." Cai Chengxun dared to hold up when he saw that someone was coming, so he quickly jumped off his horse and said: "Besides, the Duolun defenders in this battle have broken tens of thousands of Mongolian bandits under your command, but I can't beat the horse!" Although Cai Chengxun wanted to be greedy for this great achievement, it was a pity that his team did not meet with the bandits at all, and they killed Babu Zabu, even if he lied, he couldn't get to the side, so he simply didn't participate in this credit.

"Where, where, it wasn't you and me who fought inside and outside to defeat this powerful bandit and protect Duolun City!" Tan Zongrui waved his hand and said, "This battle report of victory is waiting for Brother Huchen to lead the way!" ”

Who knew that Tan Zongrui just pushed the great work on Master Cai, which made Master Cai confused, and asked in a low voice: "Old Tan, which one are you singing?" ”

"Brother Huchen, aren't you interested in this credit at all?" Tan Zongrui lowered his voice and said: "Babu Zabu is a well-known bandit, especially since this summer, it has caused a huge disaster, and even famous generals like Mi Zhenbiao have folded in his hands. It is true that this war exploit is heavy at that level, especially when the Sino-Japanese "Zhengjiatun Incident" has not yet been resolved, killing Babu Zabu, who is secretly supported by the Kwantung Army, is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Japanese.

"It's embarrassing to rob the old-timers of the credit." Cai Chengxun turned his thick eyebrows and big eyes and thought quickly, but his face pretended to shirk, but in fact, he had another thought in his heart. Originally, according to the normal speed, at least three or five days ago, the mixed brigade composed of the first brigade under his command and one cavalry artillery engineer should have appeared outside Duolun City, but since he hit Zhangjiakou, he has been watching all the way, not wanting to fight the Mongolian bandits, but also wanting to defeat the Mongolian bandits and make great contributions, so he tried to take the opportunity to defeat the Mongolian bandits when both sides were defeated. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the seemingly menacing Mongolian bandits were actually defeated by the defenders of the city alone, and even Babu Zabu was killed.

"We've been brothers for many years, so why bother with each other." Tan Zongrui pretended to be generous and said: "Brother, you just listen to my arrangement and support me at the critical moment." ”

"Then I'll be in the light of the old-timers, and if you need anything, just ask." Cai Chengxun seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "I heard that the head of the previous wave of reinforcements is a young talent, why don't the old-timers recommend one or two!" ”

"You're talking about Commander Tang, people are busy now, where do you have time to accompany me, an idler, to greet you, brother!" Tan Zongrui said with jealousy, forgetting that it was he who strongly recommended it to the Chahar Metropolitan Government that led to the appointment of Tang Zhidao, the so-called city defense commander.

"Young people nowadays are becoming more and more unruly!" Cai Chengxun frowned, and said quite unhappily: "Without the Republic of China that our older generation has worked so hard for, how can they have a good life today." ”…,

"But this is not the case, these young people are indiscriminately learning from the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Oceans, and the fur of the great powers is not known to be high." Tan Zongrui continued to complain: "Brother, you must help me this time!" ”

"This is natural, and we old brothers will never lose to these young people." Cai Chengxun said with a smile, when it comes to this part, if Senior Cai doesn't understand what's going on, he will be mixed up in the officialdom for nothing, but as long as it is not harmful to himself and there are enough benefits, he doesn't mind helping the old-timers.

"It's past noon, so let's stop nagging at this city gate!" Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Tan Zongrui stepped out of the way, and said loudly: "Brother Huchen, don't invite into the city yet!" ”

"Senior, please, how dare Huchen walk in front of you!" Cai Chengxun pretended to say, he was in a good mood at the moment, and he was going to take a huge credit without a single shot, and as for the mixed head of the group who was a small character, it was just a trivial matter in his opinion.

"Huchen is a guest, so he should be invited first." Tan Zongrui also said politely, the following plan is successful or not, and the full support of Master Cai is the key, so it is natural to give enough face to others.

"Why should the senior marshal and the old-timers be polite about this matter, the brothers haven't had a hot meal for more than ten days." Zhang Bingrong, chief of staff of the First Division of the Army, saw that the two of them were politely coming and going at the gate of the city despite the thousands of officers and soldiers outside the city, and he couldn't help but smile and comforted: "It is better for the two of them to enter the city side by side, so as to show the friendship between the two for many years." ”

"Okay, just listen to Chief of Staff Zhang!" At this time, the two realized that thousands of officers and soldiers were also waiting to enter the city, so they were no longer polite, and rode on their horses and walked towards the city with their toes high. As for the other officials, squires, and wealthy merchants who were waiting outside the city, they were left to dry, and they had to quietly follow the procession into the city.

"Who is saying bad things about Lao Tzu!" After sneezing several times in a row, Tang Zhidao secretly thought that he had been busy in the past two days. Now he is the core figure of the entire Duolun City, and the treatment of wounded soldiers, the training of newly recruited soldiers, the preparation of new establishments, the rescue of damaged citizens in the city, and the communication with the Chamber of Commerce are all full of problems.

"Commander, are you catching a cold!" Li Dazhu walked in with a bowl of hot soup with a trembling hand and said, "The kitchen has cooked a bowl of ginger soup, you can drink it first and then see!" ”

"Dazhu, didn't you lie down and rest?" Tang Zhidao saw Li Dazhu with a bandage on his left hand, and quickly took the hot soup in his hand and said, "When the injury is healed, you will be locked up!" ”

"Regiment commander, you should beat me with a military stick!" Li Dazhu smiled innocently and said: "I can't stand the taste of confinement!" ”

"If you can't stand it, you have to bear it, who let your kid violate military discipline!" Tang Zhidao said angrily: "If you don't lose your life, it's your kid's luck." ”

"Didn't I kill five or six enemies, I should make up for it." Li Dazhu scratched his head again and said.

"I won't do anything to make up for your mistakes." Adjutant Zhou Wenruo led staff officer Du Shijie to walk over with a stack of materials, Zhou Wenruo patted Li Dazhu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You Li Dazhu is a service soldier, if you don't serve the regiment commander well, you have to rush to the front line to fight." ”

"Why do you really want to punish the big pillar!" Du Shijie looked at the poor Li Dazhu and pleaded: "I think forget it this time, this kid almost lost a hand, and the lesson is big enough." ”

"If you don't teach him a lesson, he will lose his life next time." Tang Zhidao drank two sips of hot soup and felt much better, and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy don't go to rest, for the sake of Yupu and Runsheng's intercession, the confinement will be halved!" ”

"Good, good! I'm going to get off to rest! Li Dazhu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and ran out with a smile. …,

"The compilation table is made!" After Dazhu left, Tang Zhidao put down the soup bowl in his hand and said. This battle lasted for nearly ten days, and in addition to the previous assault battle, the entire mixed regiment lost hundreds of people, almost to the point of breaking its muscles and bones. In the face of this situation, Tang Zhidao will naturally not be stupid enough to wait for others to supplement him, and according to the usual practice, each ministry recruits and replenishes itself, at best, it is just a case.

"Come out, three infantry battalions, four infantry companies in each battalion, plus a heavy machine gun platoon (two), an artillery company, a heavy machine gun company, an engineer company, two cavalry companies, and a baggage company!" Zhou Wenruo handed over a piece of paper and said, "But there are still one or two hundred more people after the compilation!" "There are about 1,500 people left in the mixed regiment, plus more than 300 people in the Duolun Infantry Battalion that was forcibly reorganized by Tang Zhidao, and after carefully selecting thousands of people from among the prisoners, the mixed regiment actually has more than 1,000 people than when they came!

"If you come out more, let's make it into the baggage company first!" Tang Zhidao quickly glanced at the piece of paper and said, "Isn't it too bloated for artillery to only form one company!" ”

"The artillery is almost enough to form a battalion, but isn't this too much ostentatious!" Zhou Wenruo said worriedly: "And let's annex a battalion like this, isn't it inappropriate!" "At present, there are more than 10 large and small artillery pieces in the mixed regiment, and it is indeed barely enough to form an artillery battalion. Just relying on the statutory establishment, many mixed brigades have only one six-gun artillery company, and it is indeed too ostentatious and outrageous for a mixed regiment to set up an artillery battalion.

"What's wrong!" Du Shijie shouted indifferently: "In my opinion, the other battalion can eat in, and even the dark cloud pipe belt wants to cooperate with us!" Besides, this time our regiment has made great contributions, and there is not much problem in upgrading to the brigade level! ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll figure it out!" Tang Zhidao said without scruples, what era is this? If you have a gun, you are the king of grass, as long as you can raise it, why not use a little more. Tang Zhidao's old colleague, the former commander of the Sixth Division, and later Zhang Jingyao of the Third Mixed Brigade, wanted to be the division commander, so he first recruited the soldiers before asking President Yuan for the officer.

"In addition to the six Japanese-style mountain guns, the remaining six guns and heavy machine guns are combined into a machine gun company!" Tang Zhidao picked up the pen again and revised it on the establishment table: "The engineer company has been increased to four platoons, and the cavalry company has only one platoon, and there are four platoons under its jurisdiction. ”

"In this way, plus the new barracks that are still in Gyeonggi, our whole regiment is almost 3,500 people!" Du Shijie pinched his fingers and said excitedly: "Double the number!" ”

"Don't you kid want to be a staff officer anymore?" Tang Zhidao was also in a good mood at the moment, and joked: "You can release if you want to, but first you have to help me find a qualified staff officer!" ”

"Commander, you're too strong. Where can I go to find you a staff officer in this Saibei. Du Shijie pretended to be dissatisfied and said, in fact, he also knew that it would be impossible for the regiment commander to let him out of the regiment headquarters for a while, and the commander of the fourth battalion had already been scheduled to be Xiang Qianliang's senior, and he was a little unwilling to be the company commander.

"Yupu, has the battle report been sent out this time?" While speaking, Tang Zhidao suddenly thought that it had been almost two days since the war was extinguished, but the complete battle report had not yet been sent to Zhangjiakou and Jingshi.

"Not yet, Chief of Staff Lin took it to Tan Zongrui to sign, and he hasn't taken it back yet." Zhou Wenruo said solemnly: "Otherwise, I will urge, I can't drag it out any longer!" ”

"Leader, why do you have to let Tan Zongrui take the lead!" Speaking of the battle report, Du Shijie shouted dissatisfiedly: "This battle has nothing to do with his penny, but the battle merits are plain to be given to him!" ”

"How can he be a genuine lieutenant general, and he is the acting envoy of Duolun Town, no matter how much credit he makes, he will have to play a part!" Tang Zhidao reluctantly explained to Du Shijie that Staff Officer Du's overall view was not a little worse than that of Adjutant Zhou, but what he couldn't predict was that Tan Zhentai wanted more.

"Dazhu, why are you back again!" At this moment, Li Dazhu walked in eagerly, and Du Shijie teased: "Could it be that he has come to beg for scolding again." ”

"Chief of Staff Lin asks to see you." Li Dazhu said in a low voice: "It seems to be in a hurry!" ”

"Just looking for him, let him in!" The cooperation these days has a good impression of Lin Jianzhong
