Chapter Ninety-Seven: Teaching Brigade
Although it was only a short fifteen or sixteen minutes of battle, it opened the eyes of Song Mengyao, Shi Jianfei and others, and finally saw what the real elite was.
But this amazement began to be reduced after seeing Chen Feng and others, and after listening to the self-introduction of these officers of the 61st Army, it became gone. Now they are even a little skeptical that the anti-Japanese war force that is rumored in the outside world is a veritable force, and whether these officers in front of them, who are even more earthy and uneducated than the Eighth Road, can really create a military miracle!
"These people are all coarse, they haven't been to school for a few days, and they don't know a lot of words, so they don't know how to speak, you just have to make do with it. Now let's introduce yourselves, be detailed, not too simple! Chen Feng said with a smile.
Although Song Mengyao is only a major, it is obvious that Shi Jianfei and others are mainly focused on her, and they saw that several colonels and lieutenant colonels did not speak, but the only major in her conference room got up and said: "Report to the military seat, lowly Song Mengyao, with the rank of major, is currently the confidential staff officer and secretary of the commander of the 61st Army of the National Revolutionary Army." Born in Shanghai, he went to the United States to study at the age of 12 and received a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard University last year. ”
"Report to the military seat, humble Shi Jianfei, a native of Jinzhou, Liaoning, the sixth phase of the Huangpu Infantry Section, with the rank of colonel. Born in 1908, he went south to Shanghai with his uncle to go to school at the age of 6. After graduating from high school in the 16th year of the Republic of China, he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy, graduated in the 19th year of the Republic of China, and served as the commander, deputy battalion commander and battalion commander of the second company of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 87th Division of the National Revolutionary Army. In the 21st year of the Republic of China, 1.28, the Songhu Anti-Japanese War broke out, and the 87th Division was ordered to reinforce Shanghai. Subsequently, he was appointed as the deputy commander and commander of the 2nd Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the 78th Division of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army. In September of the 26th year of the Republic of China, he participated in the Battle of Songhu, returned to Guanzhong with the army in November to rest, and in December he was assigned to the 61st Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Shi Jianfei gave a detailed introduction to his life.
After listening to Shi Jianfei's self-introduction, Chen Feng couldn't help but smack his tongue for a while, this guy is really a talent. Born in 1908, he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy in the sixteenth year of the Republic of China, which means that this guy was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy at the age of 18, and he is also a returnee, although the German Dresden Infantry School is not as famous as the Berlin Military Academy, but it is still a famous military school in Europe, and many German marshals have served as officers or principals of the school, such as William Liszt, Ferdinand Schellner and others.
In addition, this Shi Jianfei participated in the Songhu War of Resistance twice, which is a synthesis of theory and practice, no wonder he is so valued by Lao Jiang.
"You are from the Northeast, do you still have relatives in your hometown?" Chen Feng asked.
"No, they were all killed by the Japanese army during the 918 incident, but there are still a few uncles in Jinzhou, but they haven't been in touch for five or six years, and I don't know if they are still alive." Shi Jianfei said with a gloomy expression.
"Don't be sad, born in troubled times, human life is as cheap as dogs, little devils do not treat us Chinese as people, 30 million compatriots in the northeast live in dire straits, we have to avenge this revenge, one day I will take you back to my hometown." Chen Feng said loudly.
After Shi Jianfei sat down, Xue Qu got up and said: "Report to the military seat, Xue Qu is sick, and he is from Fenghua, Zhejiang." Graduated from the Fifth Artillery Section of the Whampoa Military Academy, Colonel. He was born in 1907 and is 30 years old this year. After graduating from the 18th year of the Republic of China, he has been serving in the commissioned attendant room, and in the 22nd year of the Republic of China, he was transferred to the first division of the First Army as a battalion commander, and was promoted to regiment commander in the 25th year of the Republic of China. He led his troops to participate in three battles to encircle and suppress the Red Bandits, and also participated in the 128th Songhu War of Resistance and the 813th Songhu Battle. ”
"Colonel Xue, now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, please pay attention to your words and deeds, in the 61st Army, this military seat does not want to hear the name of red bandit or red bandit." Chen Feng said lightly.
Although what Xue Quzhi just said was very simple, the identity of this person still surprised Chen Feng, it turned out to be a person from the attendant's room. Grandma is a bear, Lao Chiang's chamber is now the most important, core, and secret unit in China, and its status is above the key departments of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of Finance. Once you enter this dazzling "temple", it is a real leap into the dragon gate, and you have become a person who accompanies the king.
It would not be easy to serve in the chamberlain. Whoever can enter the chamber is the most loyal and reliable pillar of the "party-state", and the most trustworthy person of Lao Jiang, who is worth a hundred times and has no glory. Moreover, the attendant's room is well paid, with a monthly salary of half a month more than that of all party, government, and military organs, as well as additional subsidies such as clothing expenses, and rewards for "commissioning" during the New Year's holidays. As for the "hidden" income, no one can figure it out to some people. According to a book written by a former security officer, there are many people who give money and goods in order to get a knot in court, and it is common for them to eat, drink, and enjoy free entertainment in high-end hotels and hotels. In addition, he entered the attendant room, and the bright future is needless to say, and the soaring yellow is just around the corner. After working for a few years, it is not a problem to promote the official position with the gift of "commissioning" when leaving, and it is also a piece of cake to get a "fat shortage". It is precisely because of the above-mentioned "superiority" that many people flock to the attendant room, and how many people find a relationship to go to the door, sharpen their heads and drill into the attendant room.
However, as far as Chen Feng knew, Lao Jiang controlled the appointment of the staff in the chamber very strictly. In particular, staff officers, secretaries, confidential personnel, security guards, and other personnel must personally read the examination form, talk to each other in person, and conduct face-to-face evaluations, so as not to allow those below to overstep their responsibilities. Chiang Kai-shek's standard for employing people has always been said to be "yellow, land, Zhejiang, and one". And for the personnel who enter the chamber, there are special standards. First of all, it depends on whether this person is from Fenghua, Zhejiang, and secondly, whether he is from the Whampoa Military Academy, Army University or the First Army. If not, it depends on how many years he has been in Chiang's regime and how well he performs.
And this Xue Qubing is not only a native of Fenghua, Zhejiang, but also a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, and at the same time serves in the First Army, it can be seen that this person must be Lao Jiang's henchman, and he is also the descendant of the lineage, which can be seen from the fact that he can be promoted to colonel and regiment commander at a young age.
After the two colonels introduced themselves, Chen Feng asked several lieutenant colonels to give brief introductions one by one. After that, Chen Feng got up and said: "You are all the pillars of the party and the state, it is my honor to work with you, our 61st Army is lacking educated and ambitious elites like you, so after careful consideration, I decided to combine your two regiments into a teaching brigade, the brigade commander is Xue Quai, the deputy brigade commander is Shi Jianfei, and the chief of staff is Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feiyang. In addition, the establishment of the teaching brigade is tentatively set to be two infantry regiments, one battalion each for cavalry, artillery, engineers, baggage, guards, and air defense, with a total strength of 8,108 troops. ”
"In addition, the 61st Army has its own military regulations, and no matter what rules you implemented when you were in the First Army, you have to follow the rules here when you get here, and when the time comes, the chief of staff will distribute the four manuals formulated by the 61st Army, the "Code of Conduct for Soldiers of the 61st Army", the "Internal Affairs Regulations for Soldiers of the 61st Army", the "Regulations on the Queue of Soldiers of the 61st Army", and the "Discipline Regulations for Soldiers of the 61st Army" to your department. Chen Feng continued.
Although Xue Quzhi, Shi Jianfei and the others didn't know what these regulations were, they still said yes. However, Chen Feng did not disorganize the two regiments and mix them with other units of the 61st Army, but they were caught off guard, and Hu Zongnan, commander-in-chief of the 17th Corps, personally received them before coming. pointed out straight to the point that although Chen Feng's department was famous, Chen Feng himself was the son-in-law of Yan Xishan and Yan Laoxi, so they had a total of two tasks this time, the first was of course to protect the safety of Miss Song Mengyao, and the second was to mix sand, win over other officers of the 61st Army, and put Chen Feng in the air if possible.
Moreover, Commander-in-Chief Hu Zongnan clearly told them at that time that it was very likely that their two regiments would be split up as soon as they arrived in Datong, mixed with other units of the 61st Army, and eventually eaten, and their officers were also very likely to be taken away from military power by Ming Sheng and Secret surrender at the first time, so they must be psychologically prepared.
But the development of things was beyond their expectations, this Chen army commander had no intention of splitting them up at all, and even gathered them together, and promised to give them a few reinforcements from his direct battalion, which made them not know what to do.
In the next few days, Xue Quzhi and others were busy with the reorganization of the troops, and 2,500 additional soldiers were also sent to the teaching brigade within three days, along with 4,600 38 big covers, 48 crooked handle light machine guns, and 2592 heavy machine guns, as well as 6 75mm caliber mountain guns, 12 80 mortars, and 12 Type 75 twin anti-aircraft machine guns.
Looking at the weapons and equipment of dozens of carriages, Xue Quzhi and the others were dumbfounded, because the teaching brigade was arranged in a military camp in the south of Datong City, and there were no other troops stationed around, so Xue Quzhi and the others did not know the weapons and equipment of other units of the 61st Army.
