Generally speaking, those who dare to mix in the army during the Republic of China are different from the later generations of soldiers from whom Wang Zhenyu came. Wang Zhenyu's era was a peaceful era, and he became a soldier because of adequate political treatment, such as package distribution after being discharged from the army and changing jobs. So in China at that time, everyone cut their heads to send their children to the army, which was especially crucial for rural children. Due to the strict household registration management system, the peasants were very unfortunate to be tied to the land and rely on the sky for food, and before the reform and opening up, there were only two ways to change this status, one was to study, and the second was to become a soldier.

The popularity of soldiers reached a peak in the 80s of the 20th century, and then went downhill with the reform of the army. Waiting for soldiers to be promoted to officers, officers must be cadets, and the system of soldiers no longer being assigned is clarified, the history of soldiers being popular will end. However, this does not mean that the military is not popular, on the contrary, such a reform is more like a centralized reform, which concentrates the honor and privileges that originally belonged to all military personnel to the top of the army and even higher.

Wang Zhenyu's youth army is currently in the first stage, but soldiers can qualify for admission to military schools through their performance in combat and daily work, and they can also get a good job after being discharged from the army, even if you are disabled. The village police, the security forces, the police station, the factory miners will give priority to the military. At present, officers are scarce, and once they really want to change jobs, the civil servants of the government at all levels and the managers of factories and mines at all levels will give priority to hiring these officers. This made the soldiers full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm, and Wang Zhenyu never expected to rely on the theory of reviving the Chinese nation to inspire anyone, because he believed in the Western theory of human nature and selfishness, and he felt that in order to make society run healthily, it was not enough to rely on morality and spirit, but also needed a system. Having learned the lessons of later generations, his first point is to achieve a breakthrough in this system, the government and enterprises do not engage in iron rice bowls, and the secondary employment of military personnel has also been comprehensively relaxed, and they can choose their own jobs.

In fact, even in the 21st century, the re-employment of their soldiers is a headache. It's just that their soldiers have not become waste soldiers and brain-dead soldiers because they are well trained in vocational skills.

In China in this era, that is, the Youth Army family has so many relevant policies and positions to solve this problem. In other armies, this problem has been so big that many new problems have arisen.

For example, Zhang Zongchang's army is not a serious army in essence, and there is no political ideology to guide the family and defend the country, and there is no strict and self-disciplined army discipline to guarantee. The political guiding ideology that can bring together such hundreds of thousands of people is to grab money, grain, and territory, and the only guarantee for maintaining the combat effectiveness of this army is unscrupulous robbery and indulgence. It can be said that such an army is essentially the same as the Manchurian Eight Banners in the late Ming Dynasty, that is, an armed robbery group, and everything in heaven and earth can be seized and destroyed at will for them. Therefore, for Zhang Zongchang and his soldiers, the essence of being a soldier and fighting is the same as being a bandit, and being promoted to get rich and playing with women is also the only reason and spiritual motivation for the survival of the bandit and hooligan group. You can despise their actions, but you can't underestimate the amazing power that bursts out from time to time.

Wu Peifu is definitely a famous general in this era, and his direct army is also brave and good at fighting and disciplined, which is definitely worthy of the reputation of "the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the army of might". But no matter how good you are, if you encounter this gang of bandits, hooligans, bastards under Zhang Zongchang, you will only suffer.

In history, even the Northern Expeditionary Army, which claimed to be invincible, suffered a big loss on the ground in Shandong, and finally relied on Bai Chongxi, a little Zhuge to reverse the situation of the war, and let Zhang Zongchang, a thing that does not want ancestors, to be ruthlessly calculated by the hands of the Japanese.

So will the Youth Army be able to deal with the nearly 300,000 wolf-like Zhilu coalition troops under Zhang Zongchang? To tell the truth, at this moment, Wang Zhenyu, who is holding the fourth Wang Jingwu (Shen Quan is regarded as the boss and named King Shen Quan), is also very bottomless, and the children are scrambling to look at the Siberian tiger that is obviously frightened and hiding on the side, but Wang Zhenyu's eyes are consciously or unconsciously cast to the gloomy north.

At 12 o'clock in the morning of September 11......, at lunchtime, the battle between the Feng Army and the Youth Army officially began with the first shot of the heavy artillery brigade under Zhang Zongchang and flew towards the position of the Youth Army with a sharp whistling sound. At this moment, the war correspondents of Shanghai's "Declaration" and "Ta Kung Pao" recorded truthfully with the pen in their hands: "At 12 o'clock at noon on September 11, the sixth year of the Republic of China, with the beginning of the artillery bombardment of the Zhilu coalition army, the Civil War broke out......

The warring parties did not admit that this was China's Civil War, and the Feng army insisted that it was rebelling, while the youth army claimed that it was in the Northern Expedition, and they both thought that they were the right side anyway.

Less than 1,500 meters away from the forefront, Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 1st Division of the Youth Army, Zhang Xuguang, chief of staff, and Jiang Zhiqing, director of the Political Guidance Department, sat in the division headquarters with different expressions and drank tea. Just now, a shell fell less than 200 meters from here, but fortunately due to the timely arrival of the concealment work, there were no major casualties. Unfortunately, however, this shell, which was obviously indiscriminately tested, was impartially centered on the location of the telephone line, resulting in a temporary interruption of the division's external communications. Now that the telephone soldiers had been ordered to reconnect, the commander of the communications company was almost shouting at the young soldiers that even if they died, they would have to connect the telephone lines. And these hot-blooded, simple-minded soldiers did not hesitate to risk the shelling, carrying the telephone coil and rushing out of the city to find the break, fortunately this area was not the focus of the Zhilu coalition forces, and telephone communication was soon restored smoothly.

This episode did not affect the three high-ranking members of the 1st Division of the Youth Army, and the entry and exit of the staff officers was not taken into account by them, who were talking about themselves.

"Division Commander Zhang, Director Jiang, can our position really withstand the Zhilu coalition army? If you listen to this artillery, all of it is fired by 150mm caliber heavy artillery, and I have seen this caliber of artillery fired by the navy before. We don't have much assembly, and the 12 guns equipped by the heavy artillery battalion of the 1st Division are all rowed over after the training of the expeditionary force, and the number of shells is also limited. But how can this Zhang Zongchang's army feel that there are at least a hundred gates? And the next step is definitely the charge of the large corps. "Zhang Xuguang, chief of staff of the First Division, was originally planned to take over as the commander of the First Division, and even the position of commander of the 101st Regiment was given to He Chengjun. The result was that Zhang Zizhong was temporarily parachuted, but the army commander had already talked to him, and when this battle was over, he would be transferred to another division as the division commander, so his resistance was not very great. It's just that when I think that my division of more than 20,000 brothers has to face the onslaught of an enemy ten times his size, and he also has all Japanese-style equipment, if he didn't play the drums, it would be all fake.

"Chief of Staff Zhang doesn't need to worry, our defensive position can definitely withstand it, and the custody has surprised Zhang Zongchang and their turtles. Don't talk about them, in Europe, even such powers as Britain and France suffered heavy losses in the face of our defensive positions. Zhang Zizhong is a native of Shandong and doesn't like to talk much, so the answer is Jiang Zhiqing, a hero of the European war and a major general who has just been promoted to director of the major general. That is, the famous classmate Jiang Zhongzheng in our history, it can be regarded as his bad luck, he was originally in the limelight in the Verdun counterattack, and led Chen Cheng's troops of a regiment to rush all the way to almost capture the German Marshal Hindenburg alive, and afterwards the French did not forget to award our Jiang classmate a senior medal. This time, he followed Bai Chongxi and others back to China to wait for meritorious service, but in Wang Jingwei's assassination plan, this master was regarded as the first choice of assassin by Xiao Wang, because he participated in the assassination of Tao Chengzhang, the leader of the Restoration Society, and was absolutely loyal to Sun Wen. The next story is a bit of a nest, Wang Jingwei decided on the candidate but did not find anyone, it turned out that due to the postponement of the award ceremony, Jiang Zhiqing simply reported that he didn't even go to Wuhan and went back to Fenghua's hometown directly. This unexpected move naturally made him lucky to avoid the embarrassment of the choice, and at the same time avoided the possibility of him being cannon fodder. According to Wang Jingwei's assumption, once Wang Zhenyu is successfully killed, then the next national government will naturally be in charge of Sun Wen, and Jiang Zhiqing, a general from the revolutionary party, will naturally also belong to the scope of reuse. He assigned Jiang Zhiqing the post of commander of the Jiangsu Provincial Military Region and commander of the Nanjing Garrison District, but as a result, everyone knew that the assassination failed, Wang Jingwei fled to Japan, and Sun Wen retreated to Shanghai due to illness. Originally, Jiang Zhiqing didn't have anything to do here, and he didn't participate from beginning to end. But Wang Jingwei ran away as soon as he ran away, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking about, and the personnel list he drafted by himself was not burned. Because Wang Zhenyu greeted him in advance, the people involved in the government were basically not investigated, but the army is not easy to say. As a result, Bai Chongxi, who was originally going to be the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, became the chief of staff, and the specific work was still the chief of staff who was in charge of the deputy chief of staff. And Jiang Zhiqing was also unfortunate, the secret agents of the National Security Bureau immediately monitored him, and if it wasn't for the intervention of Lieutenant General Dai Jitao, the head of the Political Department, Jiang Zhiqing would have been arrested and taken credit. However, the death penalty could not be avoided, and Jiang Zhiqing's appointment as deputy director of the Political Department was directly nullified, and he was subsequently sent to the First Division of the Youth Army as director of the Political Guidance Department. The great military achievement in Verdun was only to change the military rank from brigadier general to major general, looking at the two shining golden plum blossom lieutenant general on Zhang Zizhong's shoulders, Jiang Zhiqing could only swallow his saliva with envy.
