Chapter 260: The Eighth War Zone (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes, and Various!! ）

Dad has his father's plan, and his son has his son's thoughts. Old man Chen has a middle-aged child, and Chen Feng is still the only son in the family, needless to say, he loves him, so the old man wants to hold a beautiful wedding for his son, after all, in the old man's heart, his son's marriage means that there is a successor to the Chen family's family business.

In addition, the old man felt that his son was going to marry 4 daughters-in-law at once, and the son would not suffer, but the girls would be wronged. Especially these four daughters-in-law, Old Man Chen, are more satisfied than one another, Tana will not talk about it, his eldest brother's only daughter, the pearl of the Gegentala grassland, Old Man Chen has long regarded Tana as his daughter, and satisfaction is a must.

Besides, Wang Qingya, Old Man Chen thinks that this girl is the noble and lucky star of the old Chen family, and in the old man's heart, Wang Qingya's status is not lower than anyone else.

And Yeherina is not bad, although she is not Chinese and her background is not good. But the old man Chen knows that his son can have today, the third daughter-in-law is indispensable, the cavalry group that crisscrosses the grassland is built by this foreign daughter-in-law, and the prestige of this daughter-in-law in the army is not worse than Yang Yi, Li Wensheng, Xu Hu and others, or even higher, otherwise her son will not hand over the important task of being in charge of the training and selection of soldiers in the province to her.

Not to mention the fourth daughter-in-law Yan Changxi, that is Yan Dashuai's daughter, although she is not a pro, but she is a pro-niece, and this status is very important in the eyes of the old man. The old man has been doing business in Saibei all his life, and he has always paid taxes to Yan Dashuai. In addition, his sworn eldest brother was on an errand under Yan Dashuai, and the old man agreed that Yan Dashuai was the emperor of Jin and Sui provinces.

And Yan Changxi is a princess, and now her son is going to marry a princess, what a beautiful thing. It's a pity that his bastard son actually let the princess of the Yan family be a concubine, and this grievance is great. Therefore, the old man will think of holding an unprecedented lively wedding, marrying the four daughters-in-law into the door, which can be regarded as a little compensation for the girls.

Chen Feng himself has only one reason, that is, he doesn't want to be too ostentatious. Now his reputation is not only resounding in the north and south of the country, but also in Europe and the United States. It resounded in most of the world's world. Every day from all over the country. Even the thousands of overseas Chinese who came to him from all over the world, plus he now actually controls the two provinces of Chahar and Suiyuan, and has established good relations with the United States and the Soviet Union, which is enough to arouse people's hatred.

As the saying goes, guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to defend. There are always some villains who don't have anything to do all day long, and they think about how to fix people. So more is better than less. Aren't you just getting married? As for making such a big scene?

Yan Changxi, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Husband, in fact, I think that if we want to do it, we can do it once, or we can just have a banquet for relatives in a small area." With your husband's current status, even if you don't do much. At that time, I am afraid that there will be no fewer people who will come to congratulate him, and the level will definitely not be low, at least Chairman Jiang of Wuhan and Mr. Mao of Yan'an will send people. Of course, there are also warlords all over the country, big and small, and even foreign governments and wealthy families who have a cooperative relationship with our Chen family will come to congratulate them. ”

Yeherina also said: "It's not wrong for the husband to want to keep a low profile, but the fault is that you yourself have let the whole world know that you are very low-key. I heard Claire say that the mainstream newspapers in the mainstream countries of the world are now full of words such as China, Chen Feng, penicillin, famous anti-Japanese generals, the youngest general, and so on. ”

Chen Feng thought about it, what his two wives said was not unreasonable, and when he reached his position, even if he wanted to be low-key, he might not be able to. In addition, can you keep a low profile? Obviously not, once you keep a low profile, then in the eyes of those who have a heart, it will be cowardice, and those guys with ulterior motives will lose their fear and will hit their own attention.

I have so much heart to fight with them, even if so, it is better to do things with great fanfare and high-profile, so that everyone knows that he Chen is not a soft persimmon, and if you don't have a golden finger, don't pinch it at will.

With Chen Feng's nod, the old man and Yan Changxi began to make preparations before marriage, since they have to do a lot of things, there are really a lot of things to prepare.

While the family was busy with wedding supplies and related matters, Chen Feng was busy receiving supplies from Henry. After nearly a month and a half of difficult transportation, a convoy of 800 cars finally arrived in Guisui.

To be honest, this road is not easy to follow, and despite the presence of the Americans, the Japanese still sent a large number of warplanes to track and bomb. In order to protect the convoy, Liu Nijia commanded 21 major air battles between the Air Force of Northern China and the Aviation Corps of the Central China Front and the Provisional Air Corps of the North China Front, with heavy casualties on both sides.

However, Chen Feng knew that there were some costs that had to be paid, and for the sake of this batch of materials, even if the loss was doubled, it was not a big deal.

The supplies sent by Henry were the things that Chen Feng was most in short supply, such as radios, transmitters, and small generators. In addition, a large number of sewing machines and looms were delivered. Immediately, Chen Feng transported all these materials and equipment to the Baotou Industrial Base, and established new weaving factories, quilt factories and other factories there.

After more than a month of preparation, Chen Feng's Eighth Theater was finally established, and the Theater Headquarters was located in Guisui. The commander of the theater is still Chen Feng, the deputy commanders are Li Wensheng and Ye Helina, the chief of staff Yang Yi, the logistics minister Sui Jinguang, and the defense minister Hua Rong. In addition, the Military Judge Advocate General's Department was established, and the director of the Division was Long Jian.

In addition to Chen Feng's original troops, the Eighth Theater only had a North Fourth Division of the Nationalist Government, and the rest of the troops had already gone south to the defense zone of the Nationalist Theater after receiving the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government, and accepted the command of the Second Theater.

Chen Feng was not reluctant to do this, he had inquired before, the troops assigned to him by the national government were not even crooked melons and cracked dates, most of the troops only had an empty shelf, take the North Fourth Division as an example, it was said to be a division, but in fact there was less than one regiment of troops, plus the chef in the camp of the North Fourth Division was only 1252 people, and what made Chen Feng depressed was that the largest officer of the North Fourth Division was only a major.

After inquiring, I learned that this Northern Fourth Division was indeed a regular division of the Kuomintang before, with a full strength of 8,790 people, and the division commander was a major general. But when the Japanese called, the Northern Fourth Division was dispersed, and the division commander, deputy division commander, and chief of staff fled to death. They repeatedly asked the Nationalist Government to send additional division commanders and deputy division commanders, but no one came to take over for more than half a year.

The situation of several other troops is similar to that of the Northern Fourth Division, only Zhao Zhicheng's Second Cavalry Army is not bad, but that guy didn't listen to Chen Feng's command at all, and ran away to Yan Xishan, what can he say to his cheap father-in-law, Chen Feng.

At the same time, in view of the fact that the troops of the Jin Sui army in Suiyuan Province had been wiped out by the Japanese army, Chen Feng incorporated the Bayannur League, the Yikezhao League, and the Alxa League into his defense area, and newly established the three administrative regions of the Bayan League, Yikezhao, and Alxa. So far, Chen Feng's Eighth War Zone has a total of 9 administrative regions and 88 banner counties.

As the territory increases, more defensive forces are needed, which makes Chen Feng very entangled. With the existing troops in the Eighth Theater, it would barely be enough if they were stationed separately. However, in this way, the offensive capability of the troops was greatly weakened, and in order to solve this problem, Chen Feng worked out a new plan after many consultations with the top level of the Eighth Theater.

According to this plan, from now on, all units in the Eighth Theater will be divided into active-duty troops and reserve forces, and all the original regular field troops will be active-duty troops. All the former militia units have been converted into reserve forces, and in addition, the entire theater has been conscripted by the whole people, and efforts have been made to form at least one garrison regiment in each county within two to three months.

According to Chen Feng's assumption, the establishment of the garrison regiment is the same as that of the active army, with at least 3,000 men in each regiment. However, these 3,000 people are not professional soldiers, they are still militia units, and the main task of the garrison regiment is to be responsible for local security and banditry and other tasks.

The garrison regiment usually adopts a shift system, that is, except for the fixed regimental headquarters and the necessary garrison troops, the other units change shifts once every half a month. This month, half of the soldiers reported to the county seat, received off-duty military training, and at the same time took charge of local security and defense tasks. Half a month later, the other half of the soldiers came to take over, and the cycle went back and forth. However, as soon as an order for battle is received or an emergency arises, all reserve units are immediately regrouped and a full infantry regiment is quickly formed.

In addition, unlike the militia forces, the militia units are local self-defense forces, and the Eighth Theater does not pay the militia any military salaries except for some guns and ammunition. However, the reserve forces are different, and the reserve forces have a fixed salary, but less than the active forces. Officers and men of the active forces are paid in full, while reserve soldiers are paid in half.

In this way, as long as the garrison regiments in various localities are established, the public security problems in various localities do not need to be worried about by the field troops, and they can be completely handed over to the reserve forces to deal with, and the rear administrative regions such as the Yikezhao League, the Alxa League, the Bayannur League, and Baotou do not need field troops to be stationed at all, and can only be handed over to these reserve garrison regiments, which can save a large number of active troops.

In addition, as long as the training is appropriate, the reserve force can also become the reserve of the active force after a period of training, and the reserve force can be pulled into the battlefield at any time as long as the war is urgent. Moreover, with the militia units formed before the Ministry of Armed Forces, it should not be very difficult to have one regiment per banner county. (To be continued......)
