Chapter 3: Pingjin (2)

Half an hour later. When Zhang Zhengqiang was nervous and Shui Xiang couldn't stand anymore, the Wen'an Special Police Squadron directly under the Cadet Division Headquarters sent a car. Coincidentally, Ouyang Yun happened to convene a meeting of officers at and above the regimental level of the cadet division today, and Wang Chengbing, the squadron leader of the Wen'an Special Police Squadron, was attending the meeting at Renqiu, while Huang Zijun, the captain of the Wen'an Self-Defense Brigade, was unable to get out of the situation. So, under phone contact, Ouyang Yun ordered Wen'an to send a car to directly pull Chu Tiange and others to the headquarters of Renqiu Xuebing Division.

Sitting in a car with a strange shape - it was actually a jeep, and then appreciating the driver's respect for Chu Tiange, Zhang Zhengqiang's heart settled down.

The driver was a ten-year-old young man, dressed in a grass-green uniform, and wearing a somewhat strangely shaped sunhat on his head (in fact, a wide-brimmed hat, which is the standard summer uniform of the SWAT team). The young man was very enthusiastic, and seeing that Chu Tiange and the three of them looked at the car with some curiosity, he couldn't hide his smugness and said: "Chief Chu, this is the 'off-road vehicle' just developed by the 'Xuebing Research and Development Institute', and the first batch has only produced a total of seven, and our Wen'an has been assigned one because of its close proximity to Tianjin, hehe, it's very beautiful, right?!" ”

Chu Tiange's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Oh, it's a jeep, it's been developed!" Not bad, that's good! What is the maximum amount of run? ”

The driver stepped on the accelerator, increased the speed to sixty yards, and said: "I heard the master say that you can run up to more than eighty, and this is still in the run-in period, at most sixty yards!" ”

"'Cadet R&D Institute'? It's a special service team, right?! ”

The secret service team was once a classified existence, and the driver did not know about it, he said: "I don't know. Chief Chu, you are so powerful, a few people have killed a little devil and a harmful fortress......"

Chu Tiange smiled faintly, thinking of those sacrificed comrades-in-arms, a faint sadness passed through his heart, and he asked, "Commander Shan, are they back?" ”

"I've come back early, and I've heard reports of their deeds."

"Hey, what's that?" At this time, Shui Xiang pointed to a strange-looking car outside with the sound of "Tototo" and asked curiously.

The driver took one look and replied, "Oh, that's a tractor." ”

"Tractors?" The first time I heard this term, Shui Xiang became even more curious.

"It is the first batch of vehicles developed by the 'Cadet Research and Development Institute', and it is also an experiment, and this place is the 'military tuntian' of the Jewish Independent Brigade."

The Jewish Independent Brigade is a recently formed unit directly subordinate to the divisional headquarters, and 80 percent of its officers and men are Jewish. Chu Tiange looked carefully and saw that the tractor driver was indeed a yellow-haired and white-skinned European, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, thinking: "I've only been away for more than three months, and Renqiu has undergone such a big change?!" ”

Zhang Zhengqiang and Shui Xiang were even more dumbfounded, Zhang Zhengqiang was most surprised by the scientific and technological strength of the cadet, who was able to develop a car by himself, he couldn't help but ask the driver: "Little brother, this car is really developed by yourself?!" ”

The driver looked proud: "Of course!" The student commanders of our division are amazing, all of them are Wenqu stars, who know astronomy and geography. ”

Shui Xiang muttered quietly, "Why did you bring foreigners in, especially these yellow-haired, white-skinned ones, they are all robbers." ”

The driver looked back at her and said, "What foreigner?" They now belong to us Chinese, and according to our chief, these people have all entered our national nationality and can be regarded as Chinese. ”

Chu Tiange smiled: "You know a lot!" ”

The driver was a little embarrassed: "I also listened to the chief." ”

The car drove very fast, and soon swept past the military tuntian just now and came to a small town. There was a roadblock outside the town, and the driver was very skilled in parking the car in front of the crossbar, and took out his ID to show a non-commissioned officer, who looked at the few people in the car seriously, and saw Chu Tiange stunned at first, and then shouted: "Commander Chu?!" You're the head of Chu, right?! ”

Chu Tiange looked at him and immediately recognized it, this person turned out to be his original orderly Zhang Xiaoquan, this is really too coincidental, he was also a little surprised, and shouted: "Xiaoquan?!" Then he asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Hello sir!" Zhang Xiaoquan first gave a military salute to Chu Tiange very respectfully, and then saluted Zhang Zhengqiang and Shui Xiang, and then said: "Brigade seat, this is the military cantonment area of our special service brigade!" It's my turn to be on duty today, hehe," he looked at Chu Tiange carefully, and he asked in a low voice: "Brigade seat, I heard that you were injured in the line of duty, okay?!" ”

Chu Tiange was stunned for a moment, for this brigade, he said in his heart that he hadn't come back for a few months, and the spy group had become a spy brigade? Or is there a new transfer in your position?! I thought again: Why are there military tuns everywhere, isn't it that Renqiu is short of food?! He said, "I'm going to the division headquarters now, and we'll talk when I come back!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Xiaoquan saluted again, and then instructed his subordinates to quickly pick up the crossbar and let them go.

The off-road vehicle ran again, Shui Xiang looked at Chu Tiange and asked, "Big boss, I didn't expect you to be still the brigade commander?" The brigade commander is a big officer, and there are thousands of people under him, right?! ”

Zhang Zhengqiang's gaze at Chu Tiange also changed, brigade commander, and he is the brigade commander of the cadet division-well, this trip is worthwhile!

Chu Tiange didn't respond to Shui Xiang's words, after the car quickly left the town, he saw that not far from the town, a tractor was roaring, and more than a dozen people in camouflage uniforms followed behind, holding farm tools in their hands, and farther away from them, a wall with a length of a mile encircled a huge courtyard, and from the car, he could see the watchtowers at the four corners of the wall and a two-story building. Faintly, there seemed to be a shout coming from insideβ€”he thought to himself: Is this where the Special Service Brigade is stationed?

Wen'an is only fifty or sixty kilometers away from Renqiu, and it will take an hour to arrive at the speed of an off-road vehicle, when the off-road vehicle drives into Renqiu New Town, facing the crowded market, Chu Tiange once doubted: Is this Renqiu? How can there be so many people? It's not just him, Shui Xiang and Zhang Zhengqiang all have the same feeling, Zhang Zhengqiang looks at all kinds of people and so on, including foreigners, and even Mongolians, if it weren't for the fact that the buildings in his eyes are new, he would almost wonder if he has arrived in Beijing.

As soon as the off-road vehicle entered the crowd, the speed had to slow down, and Shui Xiang sighed: "There are so many people! ”

The driver said, "This is a commercial street, so there should be more people." ”

Zhang Zhengqiang didn't know what Lu Dao remembered, he said: "With so many people crowded together, if there is a war, the Japanese plane will drop bombs......

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the driver: "It's okay, there are air-raid shelters, and I heard that these buildings are made of cement and steel, and they are very strong." If you had come on a Sunday, you might have come across an air defense exercise. ”

"Oh!" Zhang Zhengqiang was completely impressed.

After the car drove through the commercial street, there were many fewer pedestrians on the road, and then after passing a cement road with few people, it came to the front of a huge camp.

Unlike other checkpoints, the guards here reached the size of a platoon, and the troops led by the team were changed from ensignants, sergeants, etc., to majors.

The driver stopped the car about ten meters away from the door, and then said to Chu Tiange: "Chief Chu, I can only send you here." Then he saluted the three men and drove back the way he came.

Chu Tiange returned a military salute, silently watched him leave, and then turned around, facing the gate of the barracks as before, and couldn't help but feel unspeakable emotional waves in his heart. He secretly shouted: Cadet! I am back! Brother Ouyang! I am back! Jiayao, I'm back! I couldn't help but feel hot in my eyes, and two tears rolled down.

In the conference room of the division headquarters of the cadet division, Ouyang Yun sat in the middle of the long round table, and in the position of his left and right subordinates, Jiang Shuren, Zhang Zhen, Ji Xingwen, Li Tieshu, Guo Biao, Shan Renxiong and others sat in turn.

The cadet division has a regular military meeting every month, and this month is the second time that a similar meeting of all officers above the regimental commander level has been held. The reason is because of the imminent promotion of the cadet.

Just after Ouyang Yun and Song Zheyuan reached an agreement to obtain the command of the 37th Division and the territory of Chahar, although the living space of the cadet division has been improved unprecedentedly, and strategic materials, especially iron ore and coal mines, have obtained sufficient mineral resources, but at the same time, they also have to face the problem that the territory is too large and they have to maintain the original establishment of the 37th Division.

Not long after the "He-Mei Agreement" came into effect, when the 29th Army had just entered Pingjin, all divisions of the 29th Army were expanded due to the support of Lao Chiang. During this period, the 37th Division was expanded from two brigades to three, and later to four, which, with the addition of local security forces, actually exceeded the strength of five brigades. Of the five brigades, only two were made up of veterans of the former Northwest Army, and the rest were recruits. Unlike the recruit of the cadet division, which focuses on students, the quality of these recruits of the 37th division is uneven, the degree of training is limited, and the discipline is very poor.

And that's not the main problem. Ouyang Yun's biggest headache now is that the Cadet Division and the 37th Division are at the same level, and they are only a division commander, but how to nominally belong to the 37th Division. Moreover, the agreement reached between him and the 29th Army could not be made public at all, but how could he obtain the consent of the Nanjing government and Lao Chiang to take over Chahar openly.
