Long Shaogang, the deputy head of the regiment, shouted loudly to drive the other brothers away, and led his two old brothers, Yin Dizhong and Zou Qi, who were also staff officers of the Military Affairs Section of the Headquarters, to Wu Ming:

"Boss, how about Dizhong and Zou Qi as my deputy battalion commanders?"

Wu Ming happily agreed: "It should be like this, Dizhong is an old brother who has gone through the Longyou War, he is deeply valued by Commander Fang, and Brother Ma, who was promoted to the provincial capital, is also a good brother, he was in charge of training in the Military Affairs Section of the headquarters before, and he helped a lot after coming to our teaching team, if I didn't resist the pressure of the headquarters this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep him." ”

"Although Lao Zou was born as a military judge, he graduated from the Zhejiang Provincial School of Political Science and Law, and he is very knowledgeable and well-informed, and he has been leading soldiers for most of the past six months.

Long Shaogang was overjoyed, Yin Dizhong and Zou Qi were very moved while being excited, now the army is elite and simple, but the other regiments are still more officers and fewer soldiers, if they are really transferred to other regiments, with the thin background and background of the two of them, there is no chance of promotion at all, and it is considered Amitabha Buddha to keep their previous status.

On the contrary, staying under Wu Ming is not only well paid, but also promoted quickly and with many benefits, as long as he obeys orders diligently, he is not afraid of not being appreciated by Wu Ming, even if he does something wrong, Wu Ming is also on the matter, and has never spoken ill of anyone, let alone engaged in those shady conspiracies behind his back.

Such a high-minded Shangguan, who has a great future, has nowhere to find it with a lantern these years, as the brothers discussed in private, it is everyone's blessing to meet Wu Ming.

Long Shaogang asked about Chen Zhaoxian again: "Tuanzuo, how do you plan to arrange the second battalion?" ”

Wu Ming shook his head: "Since you and I both trust Chen Zhaoxian, why don't you let him do it?" Don't forget that there is also Deputy Commander Tang behind him, and I don't think he will come alone in the afternoon. ”

"That's right!" Long Shaogang high-fived and sighed.

Zou Qi, who has been a military judge in the headquarters for six years, said with a smile: "In fact, there are still talents in various sections of the headquarters, at least most of them have experienced the Longyou War that year, and nearly half of them were brought out by Commander Fang, and there are also a few talents among the dozens of people brought by Deputy Commander Tang from Jinhua, with Chen Zhaoxian's shrewdness, he will definitely select his own deputy battalion commander, battalion staff officer and company platoon commander from them, maybe our Deputy Commander Tang will also match his brother-in-law with a company of personal soldiers." ”

Yin Dizhong echoed: "It is very likely that most of the soldiers in the guard battalion of the headquarters are from Deputy Commander Tang's hometown, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a personal soldier, if Chen Zhaoxian does not bring a hundred or ten people, I am afraid we will all be disappointed in him." ”

Wu Ming waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, there are some things that everyone understands in their hearts, the key is to work hard, as long as you have a group of well-trained brothers who can pull out the gang at any time to win, you don't have to look at other people's faces at all, but people want to look at your faces, isn't this how our teaching team has come all the way?" ”

"Yes! It's fucking like this, this year, I don't have a group of screaming brothers under my hands, and my waist can't be stiffened! Long Shaogang sighed with deep feeling.

Yin Dizhong and Zou Qi nodded frequently, both of them have been in the army for many years, how can they not know the beating charm in Wu Ming's words? At the moment, he couldn't help but stand up straight, respectfully and respectfully, and he didn't dare to show off his old qualifications.

Zhang Dongning, who was smoking outside the conference room just now, strode in: "Commander, Chief Chen Zhaoxian has arrived." ”

"Huh!? How can it be so fast? How many people did he bring? The anxious Long Shaogang asked loudly.

"There were only eight of them, even him, all on horseback." Zhang Dongning seemed to have a smile on his face, he heard everyone's prediction just now, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Wu Ming pondered slightly, stood up and put on his military hat, and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go downstairs to greet us, it seems that this old man is not a mortal...... Well, not impetuous and unassuming, with an appetite for Lao Tzu. ”

The brothers followed Wu Ming to the office building, and the thirty-five-year-old Chen Zhaoxian turned over and dismounted at the edge of the big flower garden, and without waiting for Wu Ming and the others to catch up, he quickly came up and reported: "Report to the regiment commander, Chen Zhaoxian, the commander of the second battalion of the fifth regiment, has been ordered to come and report!" ”

Wu Ming returned the salute, and then stretched out his hands and shook Chen Zhaoxian tightly: "The brothers were still talking about you just now, but everyone guessed wrong, haluha!" ”

Chen Zhaoxian was quite surprised: "What's the matter? ”

Wu Ming explained: "Everyone thought that Brother Chen would bring a team of people to help, but I didn't expect that there would only be so many people, which was a big surprise!" ”

Chen Zhaoxian grinned, and the shiny three-inch scar on his forehead twitched one by one: "It's not a secret, our subordinates of the Fifth Regiment also know the current situation, so the subordinates have brought enough company-level officers under the reminder of Commander Fang and Deputy Commander Tang, and the chief and deputy company commanders of the three companies have all been snatched from the headquarters organs, ha, Luha!" ”

"Everyone knew each other before, so I won't introduce it here, if the regiment commander thinks it's necessary, his subordinates can go to Wuyi and Songyang counties in the east and get four or five hundred recruits, just give his subordinates a week."

Wu Ming was overjoyed: "I, the head of the bare pole, is worried about the lack of soldiers, Wuyi and Songyang have been places to produce elite soldiers since ancient times, Brother Chen's proposal is too timely, I completely agree, you can get as much conscription funds as you need, you can get it from me at any time." ”

Chen Zhaoxian put away his smile, took half a step back and sighed faintly: "Brother Wu Gaoyi, Zhaoxian is convinced!" In fact, I should have believed my brother-in-law's words, if Brother Wu didn't have such a mind, how could there be a famous teaching team? Brother Wu, Zhaoxian apologizes to you again, and please forgive me for the disrespect! ”

"It's all a brother who eats in a pot, don't talk nonsense, go! Go upstairs to the conference room and have a good summary...... It's not a lie, I'm really worried about the soldiers at this time. ”

Wu Ming held down Chen Zhaoxian's hand of saluting and apologetic, took advantage of the situation to pull him away, and talked in a low voice as he walked, although this was only the third time the two had met, and they had only drunk together once before, but Wu Ming did not have the slightest fight, but treated him like an old friend.

The brothers looked at each other, no one expected the result to be like this, and while admiring Wu Ming's generosity, they also secretly admired Chen Zhaoxian's methods.

Before, Long Shaogang saw Chen Zhaoxian's brand-new military uniform with the rank of lieutenant colonel hanging on the collar, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he had no intention of guarding against jealousy at the moment, and he was really convinced that Chen Zhaoxian had just met him.

In the conference room, Wu Ming and Chen Zhaoxian talked eagerly, and when Wu Ming heard that Zhao Guantao's Sixth Division was going to come to Quzhou from Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province to rest, he asked without thinking: "Chief Zhao has lost the battle?" ”

Chen Zhaoxian nodded painfully: "It's not an ordinary defeat...... Nearly half of the 12,000 brothers of the Sixth Division were killed and wounded, and at the Nancheng border, more than 50 kilometers south of Fuzhou, they were ambushed by more than 5,000 troops of the 10th Army of the Communist Army Fang Zhimin and 7,000 men and horses of the Deng Zihui Division of the Communist Army in western Fujian. ”

Wu Ming pondered for a moment, and sighed faintly: "Defeated unjustly!" Wronged! ”

Chen Zhaoxian was slightly stunned, and then understood what Wu Ming meant: "It's really wronged, whether it is weapons and equipment or the training level of officers and soldiers, Chief Zhao's Sixth Division is not inferior to the 11th Division of the Central Army's ace division under the command of Chief Chen Cheng......

This kind of thinking is estimated to be very common among the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Division, so Commander Zhao will make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and he will rush forward without doing a good job of reconnaissance, so he will be ambushed...... Seriously, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak when I received the news last night, and I thought about the map all night before I gradually understood, alas! ”

Wu Ming couldn't help but worry about Xie Zixuan, who was directly under the first regiment of the West Zhejiang Security Command: "I'm starting to worry about Lao Xie now, he took two battalions to follow the new ** Seventh Brigade of the Central Army to Pucheng, northern Fujian - this brigade is said to have split from the Hunan army of internal strife, and after completing the reorganization in Nanchang, he drove to Yingtan to find Fang Zhimin's main force to fight." ”

"According to intelligence, the Communist Army's Zhimin Department left northeastern Jiangxi and entrenched in northern Fujian, where the mountains stretch for thousands of ravines, and the people are all heart-to-heart, Lao Xie may have a headache."

"It's heart-wrenching! I heard that the teaching team gave Lao Xie a company, and he specially talked to you all night before leaving? Chen Zhaoxian asked curiously.

Wu Ming nodded, and truthfully said the content of the discussion with Lao Xie: "He and I both feel that the current Nanchang Suppression General is not good, the result of our discussion is: fighting in a strange area with complex terrain, we must not wave the division to rush into multiple ways, camp and march must be doubly careful, outposts and guards must be doubled out, and we must release more than five kilometers in front and back, if we feel wrong, we will retreat immediately, we must not be reckless or lucky, and when we encounter an attack, we must immediately shrink the formation to seize the advantage, and seek self-protection with superior firepower, First stand undefeated and then talk about anything else. ”

Chen Zhaoxian's slender face kept changing color, and he sighed in despair: "It really can only be like this, unless it is a large corps operation, with powerful artillery fire as the main body of attack, supplemented by superior light and heavy firepower to strike, otherwise it is dangerous everywhere!" ”

"No, the big corps won't work either, who can carry the cannon into the mountains? Among other things, the injuries caused by rolling down hundreds of large rocks from a mountain can frighten many people. Wu Ming sighed.

Chen Zhaoxian suddenly asked, "If you were to lead the original teaching team to attack, how would you fight?" ”

Wu Ming was stunned: "How else can you fight?" As long as I run faster than others and hide more stealthily than others, I will be invincible, and then I will seek a fighter and see the opportunity to strike with all my might, and as long as I knock out one, I can be intimidated. In addition, you can only defend passively! ”

"This is also something that I have been thinking about repeatedly recently, at least in the two defense zones of Changshan and Kaihua, we have no other way than to defend carefully...... Fortunately, Fang Zhimin led his troops to leave Northeast Jiangxi, otherwise where would you and I have time to drink tea here? Let's put up the shelves of our five regiments first. ”

Chen Zhaoxian pondered for a long time: "Understood! Brother, I will rush to Wuyi, where is the ancestral ancestral hall of my Chen family, since ancient times, the folk style is strong, practice martial arts, it is not difficult to recruit a battalion of elite soldiers, I have read your new training method, and I have benefited a lot! As long as you follow your method and train strictly, I am confident that the second battalion will be an army in three months! ”

Wu Ming stood up with him: "Okay! I'll leave it all to you...... In the past two days, 1,200 new recruits and veterans from Changshan and Kaihua counties have arrived, and it is estimated that half of them can be selected to be replenished into a battalion, and I plan to go to Shangrao and Yushan in Jiangxi Province in two days to see if I can recruit a few gangs of bandits from the north of the two counties, even if I can get back 180 young bandits who are running the mountain road and walking on the ground. ”

Chen Zhaoxian was taken aback: "You really dare to do it?" This is not just a matter of crossing borders and overstepping powers! ”

"Why don't you dare to do it? If the Great Song Dynasty hadn't surrendered Song Jiang back then, who would have the ability to destroy Fang La? Wu Ming didn't care.

Now Chen Zhaoxian was really convinced: "I can't accept you, it seems that Lao Tzu has come to the right place, halu ha!" Give me the money, I have to rush to Wuyi and Songyang, if everything goes well, it is estimated that I will be back in five days. ”

Wu Ming immediately shouted outside: "Zhang Dongning, come here!" ”
