Chapter 273: Deputy Division Commander
In Zhang Tinglan's view, the extremely important staff system was easily passed, but the next specific reorganization work became troublesome, how to determine the source of troops, how to distribute equipment, has become the focus of controversy among all parties, everyone wants to eat more, get more benefits, especially Wu Junsheng and Zhang Jinghui are constantly looking for Zhang Zuolin, even Sun Liechen can't sit still.
"Dad, if you don't go looking for the Seventh Master, you can get a little benefit for us."
"Stinky boy, you are a stupid hat when you are Lao Tzu, sometimes if you don't fight, you just fight, I don't believe that our master has helped Zhang Yuting so much, he will treat us badly!"
Zhang Zuoxiang said this with strong self-confidence, taking this reorganization as an example, the main weapons were all tossed by Zhang Tinglan, and Zhang Zuoxiang also proposed the establishment of a staff headquarters system, so that the power in the hands of Lao Zhang was more consolidated, with these two great achievements placed there, no matter how the army is adjusted, the benefits of Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan can only increase, not decrease.
"You kid don't care about these things, I heard that you either went to the industrial group, or went to the martial arts hall, and you were very busy."
"Hehe, you're always discerning." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Aren't I raising food and supplies, I just traded with the Russians, and I sold almost all the materials hoarded in Jilin." Now hurry up and stock up, and wait until another month or two, the famine in Russia will inevitably spread, and then the grain will double and become more expensive than gold, and we can't get anything we want! ”
Zhang Tinglan showed a smug smile as she spoke, and said to Zhang Zuoxiang: "Dad, to be honest, I think it's too limited to always focus on the interests of the three eastern provinces, let's open our eyes." There is simply so much to be taken out of the Russians. ”
"You have this ability, others may not have, Wu Junsheng just came to me yesterday."
"What did he say?"
"What else can he say, what he means is that the three main divisions are all equipped with the same equipment and the same number of people, and the artillery units attached to them are the same."
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he shook his head secretly, Wu Junsheng was only afraid that he was going to dream, although the three main divisions were determined, but their division of labor was not the same.
Among them, the 27th Division was Zhang Zuolin's starting unit. Sitting in Mukden, the main thing is to guard against the Japanese and ensure the safety of the base camp, the responsibility is the heaviest, and the weapons and equipment are also the most advanced.
The garrison division was stationed in Jilin. It is mainly to deal with the threat from the Russian side, but also to take into account the North Korean side. It must also be garrisoned by strong troops. In addition, Zhang Tinglan repeatedly warned Lao Zhang. He reminded him that Russia would have problems, and that he should do everything possible to seize the opportunity to regain control of the Middle East Road and form a confrontation with Japan.
Lao Zhang also accepted this suggestion, and the Jilin side must be strengthened. In this way, the equipment of the 27th Division and the garrison division went hand in hand, becoming the two fists of the north and south of the Feng army, which cannot be changed.
As for the Heilongjiang direction. The main enemy they faced was the rebels in the direction of East Mongolia, who were going to fight in the steppe, and the Mongolian bandits were different from the Japanese and Russians, and their equipment and subordinates were definitely different.
"If you raise a cavalry, you can raise at least three infantrymen, if Wu Da Tongue's subordinates are the same as the 27th Division, how much military expenses will they have to fill in before they can use it! The situation of its realization on the battlefield in Europe has proved that the cavalry is outdated, so the cavalry of the European powers is more of a reconnaissance and patrol mission, and a division of more than 2,000 people is about the same. Of course, if the cavalry division wants to deal with the Mongolian bandits, 2,000 is definitely not enough, but it cannot exceed 5,000 people, and it must also pay attention to mobility! ”
Zhang Zuoxiang nodded, he is an old soldier, how can he not know that the cavalry burns money, Wu Junsheng is under the guise of the same as the three main divisions, he just wants to occupy more military expenses, and Zhang Zuoxiang is unwilling.
"Your estimate is similar to Yang Yuting, he suggested that the number of people be reduced to 5,000, no longer set up at the brigade level, directly attached to two regiments, plus a light artillery regiment, mainly equipped with Japanese 41-type mountain artillery, and then equipped with our newly obtained grenadier mortars. The saved horses can be used for logistics, and when fighting, one cavalryman can be equipped with two war horses, so that he can compete with Mongolian bandits in the Mongolian steppe. ”
Don't look at Zhang Zuoxiang's words, but he is clear about the plans of all parties, he said Yang Yuting's jihua, Zhang Tinglan agrees very much, this arrangement is actually very good, as long as it is built with heart, it can definitely turn the cavalry division into a strong force on the grassland.
However, Zhang Tinglan knew very well that Wu Junsheng would probably not agree to this jihua, because according to the standard of 5,000 people, he would at least lay off 3,000 people, which was equivalent to cutting meat. In addition, the main equipment of the 27th Division and the garrison division is Russian-made, such as Shuilianzhu rifles, Makqin heavy machine guns, and 76-mm mountain artillery.
The two divisions had two brigades, an artillery regiment equipped with 36 76-mm mountain guns, a fast cavalry regiment of more than 1,000 men, an engineering battalion, a baggage battalion, a communications company, and a medical corps. If the training is completed, the two divisions will only be slightly inferior to the six towns of Beiyang in artillery, but they will definitely be able to compete with the most elite Liliang in Beiyang, and even surpass them.
In contrast, although Wu Junsheng's cavalry division bears the name of the main force, its number is only half of that of others, and Japan's 41-type mountain artillery is no match for Russian-made artillery at all, and can only be bombed into slag during the exercise, in fact, his strength cannot be compared with the 27th Division and the garrison division at all.
And the most difficult thing for Wu Junsheng to accept is the problem of independent artillery regiments, after Zhang Zuoxiang's proposal, Lao Zhang decided to establish two independent artillery regiments, respectively in Fengtian and Jilin, in fact, these two artillery regiments are actually heavy artillery regiments, each regiment is equipped with 36 122 mm howitzers, is the most powerful strike Liliang in the entire Feng army.
However, Heilongjiang has no arrangement, how can Lao Wu balance it in his heart, he is also an overseer, he is also in charge of a main division, and he is a head below others everywhere, Wu Junsheng must be aggrieved.
"Dad, what does Wu Da Tongue think, let him go to the big handsome, we don't care about anything, we can distribute it as we want, as long as there are a lot of ours, we don't care about anything!"
"Well, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, I want to pin my head to the waistband of my trousers when I just mixed the rivers and lakes, and I can eat a full meal every day, I am already satisfied, and now I am in a high position. Holding power, on the contrary, has to be calculated, in fact, it is quite boring! ”
"People fight for a breath of Buddha to receive a pillar of incense, if they don't fight, what is the meaning!"
"Fighting, in fact, it is all for your children to fight ......"
"It's hard for you to be old, and the child will honor you." Zhang Tinglan said and helped his father pack the cigarette pouch, filled a pot of Kanto Taiwan films, and then lit it for Zhang Zuoxiang.
When the two were chatting, suddenly Zhang Zuolin sent someone to invite them. Let them hurry to the Shuai's mansion and discuss things.
"It seems that the big handsome is going to make a decision to zuihou."
"Well, that's right, let's get over there!" Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan left the Shuai's mansion and got into a special bulletproof car. This was still used at Zhang Xueliang's wedding, and now it has been changed to a bulletproof car. They slipped into the smoke and came to the Shuaifu.
As soon as I entered the Tiger Hall. I saw that it was full of high-ranking friends, and all the cadres of the Feng Department were gathered, including Zhu Qinglan, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Jinghui, and Zhang Haipeng. Ji Jinchun, Wang Yongjiang, Yang Yuting, Tang Yulin and so on. None of them are left behind, they are all gathered together.
Lao Zhang sat in the middle, and when he saw Zhang Zuoxiang coming, a smile appeared on his face: "Fu Chen, just wait for you two, we have been talking about the reorganization plan for a long time, and now we will take it out, let everyone refer to it!" ”
Zhang Zuolin directly asked Yang Yuting to announce the plan, the establishment of the 27th Division and the garrison division is roughly the same as Zhang Zuoxiang's estimate, the only problem is that the garrison division has changed its name, it was originally the Fengtian garrison division, and now it has been replaced by the garrison division of the three eastern provinces.
This name change is actually very interesting, obviously Lao Zhang did not want to limit the garrison division to Jilin, but to be like the 27th Division, as a mobile liliang, and fist force, if necessary, to be able to maneuver in the three eastern provinces.
Although Wu Junsheng looked for Lao Zhang several times, the cavalry division still maintained the original jihua, but in order to take care of Wu Junsheng's mood, Lao Zhang added a chariot unit to him, equipped with sixty gun trucks, and increased the firepower of the cavalry division.
There was also a cavalry division equipped with twenty Russian-made grenadier mortars, which were placed on horse-drawn carriages and could be maneuvered with the army, and there was no doubt that this arrangement was increasing the firepower of the cavalry division.
But Wu Junsheng didn't have much joy, this kind of firepower enhancement, in fact, it was aimed at the Mongolian bandits, whether it was a gun card or a mortar, it was a complete killing weapon to deal with the Mongolian bandits who lacked firepower, but it was undoubtedly half a block lower than the 27th Division and the garrison division.
Of course, there are more low, that is, two garrison divisions, Zhang Jinghui and Zhang Haipeng served as the commanders of the two divisions, Zhang Jinghui was stationed in Dongbian Road, and Zhang Haipeng was stationed in Taonan, guarding the east and west wings of the Feng army.
The two divisions have shrunk quite seriously, the number of machine guns in the unit is only half of that of the garrison division, and there is only one battalion of artillery, and the rest of the troops can be saved, and after a division is fully established, it will be less than 8,000 people.
As for the three garrison brigades, they have been reduced a lot, after the reorganization of each brigade, there are only more than 3,000 people, less than 4,000, and the commander of the garrison brigade stationed in Jilin is named Bai Wenshan, who is also an old man in the Feng army.
There are no big characteristics, it can only be regarded as serious and obedient, and the relationship with Zhang Zuoxiang is not bad, and it is not bad to arrange him to Jilin.
As for the commanders of the two garrison brigades in Heilongjiang, they were handed over to Yingshun and Ba Ying'e, and this reorganization actually greatly reduced the strength of the two people, and their strength exceeded 5,000 people, although the quality was not very good, but at least it was very bluffing.
However, after this rectification, they will cut off more than 1,000 troops, and they will also undergo a comprehensive inspection, and the old and weak will be dismissed, and if they follow this plan, the shili in their hands will be reduced by at least one-third, and they will no longer be a threat.
When the plan was announced, Zhang Zuolin suddenly said: "Humble words, I have spent a lot of effort before and after the saddle, and I have also made great contributions. You are now the deputy commander of the garrison division of the three eastern provinces, concurrently serving as the commander of the first brigade, and on the basis of the Fengtian Reclamation Department, the General Bureau of Resettlement and Reclamation of the Three Eastern Provinces was established, and you were appointed as the director of the bureau, and at the same time responsible for the militia organization and training in the reclamation area. ”
Zhang Tinglan was originally just the brigade commander of the reclamation brigade who was not embarrassed or embarrassed, but now he has become the deputy division commander in one step, and the improvement is not small, so that the old people present can't help but blush with envy, but they are also very wise, and no one dares to stand up and question it.
Zhang Tinglan's credit is there, and the promotion is well deserved, most of the weapons they have in this reorganization are brought by others, eating other people's mouths are short, and taking other people's hands is short, if anyone is opposing, it will be too ignorant.
After appointing Zhang Tinglan, Lao Zhang suddenly announced the appointment of Ji Jinchun as the director of logistics, and Xi Qia as the director of the recruit training department. As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard this arrangement, his heart suddenly brightened, Lao Zhang really deserved to be a generation of heroes, and formed a staff department, Yang Yuting's authority swelled, and Lao Zhang immediately arranged two people to restrain Yang Yuting, and played the balance technique skillfully and abnormally.
When everyone dispersed, Zhang Zuolin deliberately left Zhang Tinglan behind, and said with a smile: "Humble words, since we have been promoted, we must work better, we still have a big shortage of weapons now, and we can get as much as we can, especially machine guns and cannons, we can't produce them now, so we must not let them go." ”
"Dashuai, don't worry, there are still a large number of guns to be shipped over next, and they are all scrap iron prices, you just wait for the show!" (To be continued......)
