Chapter Ninety-Two: Before Heading South

After the reorganization idea is indeed settled, it is time for the specific personnel arrangements. According to Zhou Yimin's suggestion, Zheng Weiguo decided to set up a 33rd Division Detention Office, and the specific work was taken care of by Deputy Division Commander Yu Laogen. Team members include Li Zhen'an, county magistrate, Wang Da, deputy county magistrate and deputy director of the Political Training Department, and Zhang Haiyan, commander of the 34th Brigade.

Although Zheng Weiguo used to be in the name of a county magistrate, he basically did not interfere in civil affairs, and the work of the county government was presided over by Li Zhenan. Now that he was already a division commander in the regular army, it was somewhat inappropriate to concurrently serve as a county magistrate, so he simply resigned from this position. The director of the Political Training Division has always been appointed by the Chief's Department, so Wang Da can only serve as a deputy.

The garrison is actually the former local troops, but in a different way. Then there is the personnel arrangement of the main force of the 33rd Division, which will soon leave for Jinnan. The first is the command organ, Division Commander Zheng Weiguo, Chief of Staff Zhou Yimin, and Commander of Duan Shuanghu's 33rd Brigade. The command organ of the 33rd Brigade was merged with the division headquarters, so Duan Shuanghu was actually doing the work of the deputy division commander.

The division headquarters is divided into divisional units, units directly under the central government, and four main regiments. The main regiment was directly upgraded from the original main battalion, and the battalion commanders of each battalion were promoted to regiment commanders and concurrently served as the commanders of one battalion of each regiment, and the command organs at the regiment and battalion levels were merged. According to the establishment given by the Ministry of Military Affairs, the 33rd Brigade consists of the 331st Regiment and the 332nd Regiment, and the 34th Brigade consists of the 341st Regiment and the 342nd Regiment. In addition, according to the needs of the war situation, an additional regiment may be added as appropriate. Zheng Weiguo appointed Ma Biao as the head of the 331st Regiment, Li Dazhuang as the head of the 332nd Regiment, Wu Quanfu as the head of the 341st Regiment, Qi Sixian as the head of the 342nd Regiment, and Zhang Changgui as the head of the supplementary regiment.

The reorganization of the main regiment is simple, just change the banner, and the trouble is the divisional unit. Because most of these positions require professionals, this makes Zheng Weiguo feel a headache. Due to the lack of talent, many positions cannot find suitable candidates. Like the Chief of Staff, this is the most important position in the Eight Divisions. For marching operations, specific plans need to be formulated by the chief of staff. In the People's Liberation Army system, it has been renamed the chief of operations, and his authority is greater.

Of course, it is more reassuring to let others sit in such an important position, but none of the people under Zheng Weiguo can do it. In order for this position to be effective, it is necessary to find a person with a higher military education.

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said to Chief of Staff Zhou: "Are there any of these people brought by the chief of staff who are suitable to be the chief of staff?" ”

Although Wei Lihuang appreciated Zheng Weiguo very much, he was not enough to throw a division to him to toss, so this time in addition to sending a letter of appointment, he also sent a group of officers over. Among them, there are two most important, one is the chief of staff of Zhou, and the other is Lu Zhan, the director of political training. Director Lu is still preparing supplies in Jinnan, and only some technical officers and grassroots officers came with Chief of Staff Zhou.

Zheng Weiguo didn't mind that Chief Wei mixed sand, as long as the people sent didn't sabotage the anti-Japanese resistance. Especially those technical officers, he welcomed them from the bottom of his heart.

Chief of Staff Zhou was a little worried, because the chief of staff was directly under the leadership of the chief of staff, and he was worried that he would be misunderstood and seize power, so he hurriedly said: "The new officer does not know the situation of our division, so it is better for the division seat to choose a colleague who is familiar with the division." ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "It's okay, as long as you are proficient in staff operations!" The situation can be understood slowly, and the work can be carried out gradually. Seeing that Chief of Staff Zhou was about to resign, Zheng Weiguo had no choice but to tell the truth: "I won't tell you, we are lacking such talents right now, and there are not many people who even know how to work on the map, let alone complete staff operations." ”

Chief of Staff Zhou thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I will have a candidate." As he spoke, he took out a resume from his briefcase and handed it to Zheng Weiguo.

Zheng Weiguo took a look and read: "Xiong Taiyu, graduated from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France. Yo, I've drunk foreign ink! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "Not bad! He performed very well in school and during his internship, and was commended by his superiors many times. After returning to China, I worked with him for a while, and talents are rare! ”

Li Dazhuang was a little unconvinced, and said: "If you are really a talent, how can you come to our small temple!" ”

Zheng Weiguo reprimanded angrily: "Hugh is presumptuous, and he still doesn't apologize to the chief of staff!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "It's okay, it's normal for Regiment Commander Li to have such doubts. However, I believe in my vision, so please wait and see. ”

After making such a fuss, Chief of Staff Zhou was not good at recommending candidates, so Zheng Weiguo had to arrange a few at his own discretion. For example, the director of the adjutant department is Li Fugui, although his education level is not high, he is clever and a talent that can be created. The director of the secretariat is called Yu Dequan, a young intellectual borrowed by Ji You. With him, Zheng Weiguo doesn't have to worry about traditional characters.

The divisional units will first arrange it in this way, and then change it if it doesn't work. Then there are the battalions directly under the division, which are easier to arrange, after all, they all have corresponding establishments before. The commander of the artillery battalion is Qian Feng, the former commander of the artillery company, and if the officers sent down from above are directly arranged, it is easy to cause confrontation, so it is better to let them be instructors for a while. Zheng Weiguo, the commander of the cavalry battalion, plans to let the night owl do it, he has good riding skills and knows some knowledge of cavalry combat, so he should be able to do it well. Zheng Weiguo of the other battalions also preliminarily planned the personnel.

Zheng Weiguo said: "Do you have any comments on personnel arrangements? ”

Everyone said no, and Yu Laogen said: "Master, let's do it first, if there is anything inappropriate, it's not too late to make adjustments." ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Okay! Then you will step up your efforts to complete the reorganization work at hand when you go back. Each unit directly under the division has a chief of staff, and Zhang Changgui is in charge of each battalion under the division. The two of them hurriedly bowed to show their obedience. Zhang Changgui was nominally the commander of the supplementary regiment, but in fact there was no such regiment, so Zheng Weiguo let the division directly manage each battalion and concurrently served as the commander of the special battalion.

After the meeting, Zheng Weiguo handed them the letters of appointment of Yu Laogen, Duan Shuanghu, and Zhang Haiyan, and the rest of them could not get it until the secretariat was operational.

Duan Shuanghu saw that there was still one on the table and said, "Who is this one?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Hey, don't move, it's mine." ”

Duan Shuanghu snatched it up, took it in his hand and looked at it, his mouth was amazed, and said, "This is the real guy!" There is also a big seal of the Ministry of Military Affairs on it, which is much more magnificent than the one given by Chief Yan before. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile: "Brigade Commander Duan doesn't need to be envious, as long as you make great contributions in the future, you can also stamp the seal of the Ministry of Military Affairs!" ”

Duan Shuanghu said: "I don't care, anyway, I'm all following the master to fight devils." He looked at his letter of appointment, and then took Zheng Weiguo's letter of appointment and looked at it. He saw that Zheng Weiguo's payment was actually written with the words "chairman", and said in surprise: "It was signed by the chairman himself!" Hey? The name is wrong, how can it be Jiang Zhongzheng? ”

Li Dazhuang hurriedly said: "Who is Jiang Zhong?" He stepped forward to take a look, and when he saw that it read "Chairman Jiang Zhongzheng", he couldn't help but be confused, and said: "When will the chairman be replaced?" Wasn't it called Jiang Jieshi before? ”

Everyone finally couldn't help it and laughed together.

Zheng Weiguo was worried that Zhou Yimin would misunderstand, so he hurriedly reprimanded: "What are you two doing, can you have some culture?" This is the word of the chairman, and the boundary stone is the name of his old man. I don't even know this, but you are still a soldier of the party-state! He said to Chief of Staff Zhou: "Don't mind, Chief of Staff, these are two muddy people." ”

Chief of Staff Zhou couldn't help but smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just an unintentional mistake." But the teacher's seat, that, the word of the commission is the boundary stone, and the name is the zhongzheng, you must not say it wrong in the future. ”

Zheng Weiguo made a big red face, and the people below laughed heartlessly, among which Wang Da had the loudest voice. The most infuriating thing is that Duan Shuanghu and Li Dazhuang, the two culprits, are embarrassed to laugh.

Seeing that Zheng Weiguo's face was a little unbearable, Chief of Staff Zhou secretly blamed himself for talking too much, and said busily: "You don't have to mind the division, the commission seat has always been written in the world, and people often make mistakes." ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled awkwardly and said, "Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise this person would be a big loss." ”

With the help of Chief of Staff Zhou, the unit was finally reorganized, and at the end of December, it went south to Jinnan to be inspected by the superior commander and replenished supplies.

Before leaving, Feng Kun found Zheng Weiguo and said anxiously: "Shizuo, why is there no blue army team in the list of going south?" Did you slip it out? ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "It's not that I've missed it, but I have another task to hand over to you." ”

Feng Kun said happily: "Is it a sneak attack on the devil's stronghold in disguise as a Japanese army?" We're the best at this! ”

Zheng Weiguo took out a copy of the plan, and the handwriting was very ugly, because it was written by himself. For a person who doesn't write often, traditional calligraphy is really difficult to write.

Feng Kun took a look and saw that it said T plan, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does this mean?" ”

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said, "You read it first, and then ask after reading it." ”

Feng Kun took a cursory look at it and said in surprise: "You asked us to pretend to be Japanese to set up a trading company in Tianjin?" ”

Zheng Weiguo casually put Ji Lu on the oil lamp and said, "Yes! This mission must be completed! "As he spoke, he opened the lampshade and was about to burn it.

Feng Kun hurriedly said: "Don't burn it, I haven't written it down yet!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Don't remember, you probably have an impression." The plan here is just an idea, and it is up to you to improvise how to do it when the time comes. ”

Feng Kun thought for a moment and said, "Then can you bring Sakura and her cousin over?" If they're around, they'll look like more! ”

Zheng Weiguo flatly refused: "No! Sakurako and the others are Japanese after all, and they may be recognized by Japanese spies. This plan is of paramount importance, and there is no room for the slightest hidden danger. ”

Feng Kun was a little disappointed, but he was still very happy to think of going to Tianjin, and said, "Master, don't worry, we promise to complete the task." ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "You must be more careful when you go out, and don't be clever." After arriving in Tianjin, if there is any emergency, you can find a person named Lao Mao, this is his contact information. As he spoke, he handed him a small note.

After reading it, Feng Kun consciously burned it, and then solemnly gave a military salute and said, "Yes, Master!" You, take care of your trip. As he spoke, he squeezed out a few tears in a little uncontrollably.

Zheng Weiguo patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't be sad, we will all see the day of victory." ”
