***********************
No matter how lively it was outside, since the day after the inspection, the military camp in the north of the city has never been open to any units and groups anymore. Wu Ming, who has become a legendary figure in the mouths of the people of western Zhejiang, has not appeared anywhere else except the barracks.
Just after New Year's Day, two pieces of news that shook the whole country came one after another.
The first major news that attracted people's attention was that on the first day of the new year, the Nanjing Central Government held a solemn rally, and the Kuomintang factions, including the Hu Hanmin faction and the Xishan Conference faction in Guangzhou, reached a compromise and jointly elected Lin Sen and Sun Ke as chairmen of the Nationalist Government and president of the Executive Yuan, and held a grand swearing-in ceremony in Nanjing.
One day later, the second bad news that made the whole people extremely sad and indignant came: Jinzhou, the gateway to the northeast, had fallen, and the three eastern provinces had since been completely trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders!
At a time when the whole country is shaking and panicking, Quzhou, far from the northeast, is still continuing to live a peaceful and peaceful life in the past, and any news reaching this peaceful and peaceful land of fish and rice will not trigger a wave of indignation and bloody protests like in Beiping and Shanghai, but at most it will only make the people increase their talking points.
The officers and men of the security forces in western Zhejiang also did not show any signs of nervousness, and those who should have a holiday were still on vacation, and those who wanted to go to the kiln still went to the kiln, and there was such a reassuring saying among the officers and soldiers:
"The place we are guarding is the main transportation route of the four provinces, if it is our turn to be pulled up to fight with the Oriental army, I am afraid that most of China will be gone, not to mention that we still have more and more communist Red Army in the south and west, and it is becoming more and more fierce, if we leave, who will defend the west gate of Zhejiang?"
Wu Ming has been silent about this.
After the inspection, the officers and men of the teaching corps, who had been awarded the collective third-class meritorious service and the 5,000-ocean award, were quickly divided up by several main regiments that were being reorganized.
Although everyone from Commander Fang Youchun to the ordinary brothers of the teaching team felt that it was a pity to do so, the purpose of the establishment of the teaching team was originally to train grassroots military backbones for various departments, and if we wanted to comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of the army, we could only do so, and we must continue to do it.
In order to maintain the hard-won reputation of the teaching team directly under the Zhejiang West Security Command, Commander Fang Youchun, Deputy Commander Tang Yuntao, and Chief of Staff Ma Zhizhai resolutely renamed the Wu Ming Garrison Battalion, which was well-trained and whose overall strength was not under the original teaching team, to the directly subordinate teaching team after repeated discussions.
Wu Ming, the former chief instructor of the training team, confidential adjutant of the headquarters, commander of the garrison battalion, and director of the Ordnance Institute, was officially appointed as the major captain of the training team directly under the security headquarters with an establishment and no longer held any other positions.
At the strong request of Fan Chunlin, the former acting leader of the teaching team, the headquarters agreed to his application and appointed him as the new captain and deputy captain of the teaching team, and the north camp of Chengbei has since become the camp of the teaching team directly under the headquarters.
These days, Wu Ming is presiding over the training of the garrison battalion under his command, and the only time he left the barracks was to go to the headquarters for a meeting on the first day of January to listen to the orders conveyed by the superiors by Commander Fang Youchun and Chief of Staff Ma Zhizhai to ensure the safety and stability of the entire defense area of the Western Zhejiang Security Command from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival, and to strictly guard against a possible surprise attack by the Red Army in the Jiangxi and Fujian regions.
On the afternoon of New Year's Day, Wu Ming didn't know what method Lu Dao used, and said that he would mobilize the two chief and deputy commanders and chief of staff Ma Zhizhai to bring back 150 supplementary recruits who should have been assigned to the security regiments of Suichang and Longyou counties after the meeting. He patted his ass and returned to his little yard.
The remaining one hundred and two recruits were stunned for a moment, seeing that more than forty companions who could not run were quickly carried away by the officers of each company, and one by one their faces turned pale with fright, and they did not dare to move a step, but who knew that the words of the new deputy captain Fan Chunlin pulled them back from the edge of despair:
"Lao Tzu knows that you group of soft bastards, most of them are from the countryside of Changshan and Jiangshan counties, although you have walked on the big playground of the headquarters for more than 30 days, but in the eyes of Lao Tzu, you are not fart! Listen, give you ten minutes to elect the squad leader you trust, and when you're done, line up behind the people you have chosen, and before you finish more than ten minutes, you will get out of the camp! ”
More than 100 recruits were stunned for half a minute, I don't know who shouted "Hurry up and choose people", the crooked team suddenly became chaotic, and the recruits were like headless flies, shouting and screaming, rushing left and right, and constantly calling the names of fellow villagers and villagers.
Zhang Dongning and a group of company platoon commanders grinned and watched, looking at the recruits who were in a mess with disdain, and they all felt happy one by one.
In the past three months, all the brothers have survived under Wu Ming's more vicious scolding, and the two acting company commanders, who are a few years older than Wu Ming, were even scolded to tears on the spot, not to mention those ordinary soldiers who are always slow to react, and now it is their turn to vent the long-standing anger in their hearts for the newcomers, how can they not feel extremely happy?
However, until now, all the officers, including Fan Chunlin and Zhang Dongning, did not know why Wu Ming had recruited 150 new recruits, but Wu Ming himself knew very well that with the arrival of the new year, the direction of Shanghai would soon become a battlefield.
As long as there is a fight in the direction of Shanghai, close to the Qiantang River and Hangzhou Bay, Hangzhou, which has no sense of security, will definitely be the top priority for the entire Zhejiang Province, and he and the teaching team led by him will be recruited.
In this case, Wu Ming had to be cheeky, and did not hesitate to risk offending his colleagues and secretly making enemies, and snatched one hundred and fifty recruits who did not belong to him, in order to train these recruits quickly, so that after he led the team to leave, there would be enough people to stay and watch his family.
After all, the repair shop, the clothing factory, and the metal products factory outside the barracks that have just been on the right track are all Wu Ming's hard work and hope.
Second, the four companies of the teaching corps had not yet been formally formed, and it was still necessary to reorganize into two infantry companies, a machine gun company, and an engineer company.
Previously, Fang Youchun, Ma Zhizhai and others had already begun to play the idea of the teaching team, and wanted to transfer another batch of training toppers to enrich other departments, if Wu Ming hadn't taken the lead in speaking, saying that if he wanted to maintain the combat effectiveness of the teaching team and the good reputation that he had won so hard, he would not be able to dim people.
Wu Ming also made a solemn promise that in the future, all brother regiments can send people to the teaching team at any time, and everyone will study, train together, and improve together.
If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that the existing four company commanders would have been transferred away by Fang Youchun and Ma Zhizhai.
