Chapter 1142: Bet with Lao Zhang
After Wang Maoru assumed the presidency, he was faced with a mess of difficulties; after seeing off the Olympic athletes and returning to Beijing, Wang Maoru continued to inspect several major military regions, namely the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshu Military Region, the Sulu Military Region, the Liaore Military Region, the Heiji Military Region, and the Lianghu Military Region. However, a few years ago, I only visited the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Military Region and the Sulu Military Region, two military regions that have reformed their military systems.
First of all, the Eighth Group Army of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Military Region, which basically completed the reform of the military system, with three Category A infantry divisions, one Category B infantry division, and two special divisions. After all, the reform of the Wehrmacht cannot be carried out in one step, artillery must be produced one by one, and tanks also need to be manufactured one by one, but because the Eighth Army is the first unit to realize the reform of the military system, they can be regarded as taking advantage. All 20 Minjiu tanks produced before the end of the year were assigned to the Eighth Group Army, and all 20 tanks were assigned to the 8th Armored Division by Wang Qiyuan, the commander of the Group Army, and the other division commanders were depressed.
After a baptism of turmoil, the Eighth Army became more aware of the importance of ideological unity, and Wang Maoru no longer asked the soldiers to brainwash them every day to ask them to be loyal to himself, but to demand that the soldiers be loyal to the country, the army, and the nation. It's more like modernizing the army all the time, not a puppet. It's just that Wang Maoru's influence in the army for many years is still there, and the soldiers still can't help shouting after seeing Wang Maoru: "Long live the generalissimo, long live the generalissimo." ”
Wang Maoru didn't care, Zhang Zuolin was quite envious: "Who has the courage to rebel now." Who's got a in their heads. ”
Wang Maoru conducted "One Army, One Voice" in the Eighth Group Army. A Leader", the army must take obedience as its duty and serve the people of the country. The content of the speech "One Army, One Voice, One Leader" was also given to all units by the General Military Affairs Department, requiring all units to learn and emphasize the necessity of obedience.
After inspecting the Eighth Army for five days, Wang Maoru and Zhang Zuolin rushed to the 11th Group Army of the Sulu Military Region without stopping, and the reform of the 11th Group Army was somewhat slower than that of the Eighth Group Army. Before and after. Wang Maoru immediately urged Xu Zhengyi to complete the task efficiently, and Xu Zhengyi hurriedly smiled and said that he would guarantee to complete the task.
But when the 11th Army was inspecting, an unexpected thing happened, and a group of lazy people occupied the mountain. He bought a few rifles by illegal means, robbed the weapons of several landlords' homes, and recruited a large group of poor people who did not want to produce and had no ability. It is just that they occupy the mountain as the king, but the place they occupy is when Wang Maoru inspected. The place where the 31st Regiment of the 211th Infantry Division under the 11th Army conducted military exercises.
Originally, the 211th Regiment's military exercise was a fully armed cross-country, rapid assembly and mobilization and other combat preparation tasks, but it was unexpectedly that the place that was just favored the day before would be occupied by such a group of people as the king the next day.
It can be regarded as their bad luck, the leader of the bandits is called a tiger dominant, and he was born with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain. A pair of big eyes are blazing, and the golden wire ring knife in his hand is known to be leaky.
When Wang Maoru learned that the exercise site was occupied by a group of stupid bandits, he immediately leaned forward and fell back with laughter, and Lao Zhang was also happy, patted his thigh and said, "it." Why didn't these Zishan guns even insert signs? Being a beard is so unlevel. "Lao Zhang is talking in black words, and the bandits are divided into four beams and eight pillars. The four beams are respectively the military division, the cannon head, the money and the sentry, and the eight pillars are respectively responsible for debt collection, guarding, preparing horses, bodyguards of the big boss, inquiring about news, delivering news and documents, and the meaning of this insertion is to inquire about the news.
Compared with Lao Zhang, the bandit Tiger Batian is also a little too tender, what kind of person is Lao Zhang, the Northeast Bandit King, the Kanto Ringing Horse is not called in vain, don't look at Lao Zhang's small stature, when he was in the land of Kanto, Lao Zhang's banner was loud one by one. So when he heard that there was such a group of bandits, Lao Zhang's eyes lit up, and he met the bandit's grandson!
When the grandfather met his grandson, Lao Zhang suddenly became bright.
Wang Maoru also began to laugh, but he was playful, saying that he must play a small game with Zhang Zuolin, so he said: "Seventh brother, it will take a while to wait, why don't we make a bet?" ”
Zhang Zuolin smiled and asked: "How to bet?" Damn, you're a fox, you don't want to trap me, right? ”
Wang Maoru immediately shook his head and shouted: "Seventh brother, your heart and eyes are not much less than mine, who cheats who is not certain." Listen to me, I'm betting they will be able to wipe out this bandit in less than an hour. ”
Zhang Zuolin took a telescope to take a closer look at the scale of the cottage, and said in his heart: "it!" It seems that the cottage has just been built every month, and there are many flags, probably with the meaning of a small thousand people. However, there are more bandits in the customs and there are more bluffers, unlike the bandits outside the customs who are more honest. I guess there are at least 500 people, and this battle is not easy to fight. Well, bet! If it's more than an hour, I've won. Zhang Zuolin glared at him and said with a wicked smile, and said to the other staff officers: "You can also take a look." ”
The other staff officers were all graduates of regular military academies, and they could understand the arrangement of the bandit cottage, so they shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Zhang Zuolin said with a smile: "It seems that I have to be a 'professional' to handle this matter." ”
"Bet on what?" Wang Maoru asked confidently.
Lao Zhang thought about it, Xiaodou's eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly smiled meaningfully: "President, it's better to be like this, I won't take advantage of you too much." It just so happens that the two of us have a lot of children, and if you win, which of your sons will marry me in the future, he can choose. If I win, it's the other way around, what do you say? ”
Wang Maoru slapped his thigh and smiled: "Great, that's what we mean, let's high-five and swear." ”
"Okay!" Zhang Zuolin clapped his hands with him and laughed: "it, a group of bandits, but they have helped our two families become in-laws, hahahaha!" ”
Xu Zhengyi, the commander of the 11th Group Army, glared at Kou Yingjie, the commander of the 31st Infantry Division, fiercely: "Why the fuck are you stunned, and you still ordered not to suppress the bandits?" Are you fucking waiting for me to command the army? ”
Kou Yingjie, commander of the 31st Division, immediately saluted and said, "Yes." He hurriedly ran down, and began to arrange for people to suppress the bandits. Of course, this task is obligated to be completed by the 211th Regiment, and the other regiments are whimpering and lamenting, okay, all the good things are occupied by the 211th Regiment. Kou Yingjie said: "Within an hour, take down the mountain for Lao Tzu, if you don't take the mountain, Lao Tzu will take your head!" Hit or not? ”
The 211 Regiment happened to be fully armed, the weapons and ammunition were full, and the morale was even higher, the president and the vice minister of defense looked at it, and if the 211 Regiment did not fight well, it would be embarrassing, so it was immediately killed under the leadership of the regiment commander Fan Guisheng. The 211th Regiment is the main force of the 31st Division, and it can even directly mobilize the artillery of the 31st Division in the war, so the telegram passed, and the artillery of the 31st Division threw shells towards the bandit hill in less than three minutes. Since there were only 75 field artillery pieces at the division level, although this burst of artillery fire was very lively, it was actually not very powerful. However, where have the bandits met such an opponent, it was so cruel that the artillery fired for twenty minutes, and all the houses that had just been built on the hill fell. At this time, the 211th Regiment had already prepared for the encirclement, and as soon as the artillery ended, the 211th Regiment immediately killed it.
The 211 regiment really gave Wang Maoru a fight, and the battle ended in fifty-eight minutes, a nest of bandits only had 90 guns and 280 broadswords and spears, and the 211 regiment escorted more than 100 living bandits down the mountain, and after an investigation, there were really 520 bandits, and Lao Zhang's eyes were really good.
In fifty-eight minutes, the modern army took out the bandits.
Xu Zhengyi was still waiting for Wang Maoru to praise him, but Wang Maoru scolded him, saying that there will be bandits in the Sulu area, it is your problem, what kind of merit is invited, it is good not to withdraw you. Xu Zhengyi's face was stupid and depressed, and he secretly shouted Why am I so unlucky, this bandit can't kill enough.
However, after Wang Maoru finished scolding, he also felt that something was wrong, he was no longer the Minister of National Defense, but the president, how could he scold people in the tone of the Minister of National Defense. He looked up at Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin laughed, Wang Maoru couldn't help laughing, but the others didn't understand what was going on.
After a few days of inspection, the two returned to Beijing by plane, and on the plane, Wang Maoru asked Zhang Zuolin: "Seventh brother, does the gambling contract still count?" ”
Zhang Zuolin said: "A mouthful of foam and a nail, how can it not be counted?" ”
Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Then Brother Seven, you are going to lose your daughter." ”
"I can afford to pay for it." Zhang Zuolin smiled, but he immediately said again: "It's really unfair this time, where is a regiment, actually called the artillery support behind, it's unfair, unfair, next time I'll find a chance to bet with you." ”
"Okay, Brother Seven, you're not afraid of losing to me, hahaha." Wang Maoru smiled, but recalled that he was a little embarrassed in the Sulu Military Region, he was the president, why did he directly scold the commander of the army, so he said a little embarrassedly: "I still always treat myself as a soldier, and some habits can't be changed." ”
"it, it's fine, ahaha." Zhang Zuolin touched his big bald head and smiled, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Brother Xiusheng, I beg you for one thing." ”
"What's the matter? Why ask? Wang Maoru said.
Zhang Zuolin blushed and said: "Xiao Liuzi's prodigal temperament is really unbearable in the army, he has made mistakes in military regulations several times, if it weren't for the compassion for him, my old Zhang's son, he would have been expelled from the army a long time ago." I wonder if it is not possible to let him inherit my mantle, so it is better to let him enter politics. You're just doing my brother a small favor, this kid really can't mix in the army. ”
