Wang Haitao's words made Liao Zhen stunned for a long time and didn't know how to answer, he knew the situation of his own troops, those recruits might not dare to violate military discipline, but those veteran soldiers, as well as the group of cronies under his command, relied on themselves in the past, and no one took military discipline seriously.

But what is in front of me is 30,000 pieces of white flowers, so I don't want it, and I am really unwilling in my heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Just when Liao Zhen was stunned, the two brigade commanders under him were anxious, and Li Chengkui, the commander of the 413th Brigade, couldn't help but stab Liao Zhen and whispered: "Master, quickly agree, that's 30,000 oceans!"

Liao Zhen thought about it, this Commander Wang has the heart to find fault, any excuse is fine, why spend these 30,000 oceans in vain, after I go back, I will restrain those little rabbit cubs. Thinking of this, Liao Zhen said to Wang Haitao: "Commander Wang, respecting military discipline is a matter within the duty of our soldiers, and I should strictly discipline my subordinates to ensure that they do not violate military discipline. ”

Wang Haitao said: "This is the best, but it's not that I can't trust Commander Liao, there is an agreement here, and I hope that Commander Liao will sign it, and after signing it, we will act according to the agreement, so that if there is anything, I also have an explanation for Commander Liu Xiang." As he spoke, Wang Haitao took a folder from his desk, opened it and handed it to Liao Zhen.

Liao Zhen took it over and took a closer look, and the agreement clearly stated that during the period when the 150th Division was under the command of the Jiangnan Theater, the military expenditure of 50,000 silver yuan per month would be paid by the Jiangnan Theater Command, but the 150th Division must completely obey the dispatch of the Jiangnan Theater Command, and the combat tasks assigned to it must be carried out unconditionally. In addition, it is necessary to strictly abide by military discipline, not to scratch the people, etc., and it is written what kind of punishment will be imposed once it is violated. Full of a few pieces of paper.

After Liao Zhen and the others finished reading, they glanced at each other. There is nothing out of the ordinary about this agreement, but once Liao Zhen signs it, it must be done according to the agreement. If the 150th Division can fulfill this agreement, then the 150th Division will be a model division. However, with the ocean of white flowers on one side and self-restraint on the other, Liao Zhen thought for a while and signed this agreement ruthlessly.

In fact, the reason why the military discipline of these miscellaneous armies is not in order is also because the upper peak deducts military salaries, and the soldiers are indeed too poor in their hands, and they want to spend money when they have no money, so what can they do if they do not rely on their status as soldiers to oppress the people? But now everyone has a real ocean in their hands, and this thing is better than military tickets and legal tender, and the soldiers have money in their hands, and they are strictly ordered to observe military discipline, so the military discipline of the 150th Division in the two towns is still in the past.

Wang Haitao was also paying attention to the situation in various places in a calm manner during this time. The time has reached the end of 1938, at this time in history, Wuhan has been lost, Jiangxi is basically occupied by the Japanese army, and now, Xuzhou is still holding on under the command of Li Zongren, and the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the whole people has also been raised high because of the great victories again and again.

On the contrary, the Japanese army was much more difficult than in history, and the North China Dispatch Army was fine, although there were two divisions less than in history, and the 10th Division was almost completely annihilated, but the rest of the land was still smooth, including Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan, and part of the land was occupied by the Japanese army. However, the Central China Dispatch Army was extremely unsmooth here, from the Battle of Shanghai to the present, it has been fighting for more than a year, losing three divisions and regiments, and losing a total of 150,000 troops, but it still failed to reach Xuzhou.

However, when Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were basically occupied, there was a serious danger to the henchmen of Jing County, and the Japanese army was determined to continue to attack Fujian and Jiangxi, but this great danger of the henchmen of Jing County was not eliminated, and there were really no extra troops to attack Fujian and Jiangxi again. For this reason, the Japanese base camp repeatedly proposed at the Imperial Council to form another division for the war of aggression against China.

In the surroundings of Jing County, there are more than 10,000 Japanese troops stationed in Wuhu, but these 10,000 people are mainly auxiliary troops, and they can only keep Wuhu intact, and although Huzhou has two newly formed divisions and regiments of the Japanese army, totaling more than 30,000 people, these two divisions have to ensure the smooth flow of transportation lines from Hangzhou to Nanjing, and they also have to be responsible for the garrison of several surrounding counties, so it is basically impossible to attack Jing County again.

The Huizhou area in the south was mainly the activity area of the New Fourth Army, and the Japanese army only had one squadron stationed in each of several county towns, and the combat effectiveness of the puppet army was not within Wang Haitao's consideration. There was a brigade of Japanese troops in Tongling County in the west, and it was occupied in Anqing. In Wang Haitao's view, his next target is Tongling County, and if he occupies Tongling County, he can be connected with Anqing, which is undoubtedly very beneficial to himself.

With the combat effectiveness of the 93rd Division, the Japanese army of a brigade in Tongling City could not be worried, but it was worried that the siege of the city would be a test for its own troops, and once Tongling City could not be captured quickly, the Japanese troops in Wuhu would inevitably be reinforced, so that the troops besieging the city would be attacked by the Japanese army on both sides, and the battle would be difficult to fight.

After Wang Haitao called Li Yuanhong and Wu Jian to discuss with them, he asked Li Yuanhong to strengthen the siege warfare drill of the 93rd Division, and on the other hand, he informed Tang Xiaoshan that the reconnaissance group should strengthen the reconnaissance of the Japanese troops in Tongling City, and at the same time, he also asked the 171st Division stationed in Nanling County to prepare for attacking Fanchang County.

After several days of repeated exercises, Wang Haitao finally formulated a battle plan to capture the county seat of Tongling, and reported this plan to the general headquarters in Chongqing by telegram. Soon, the general headquarters in Chongqing agreed with Wang Haitao's battle plan and praised and encouraged Wang Haitao.

The battle plan was approved, and the preparations under Wang Haitao were in full swing. The three brigades of the 93rd Division were conducting siege drills, and the 150th howitzer battalion of the heavy artillery regiment was also transferred from Jing County to Nanling County and stationed. Since the last time the armored battalion suffered losses, this time it will deploy 10 light tanks and 10 armored vehicles to cooperate in the siege operation.

Just when everything was almost ready, Liu Yong, the director of the security department, suddenly came to Wang Haitao's command room and said something to Wang Haitao that made Wang Haitao angry. It turned out that Liu Yong and Wang Haitao were talking about Yangong Town, and someone accused an officer of robbing a people's daughter and shooting someone dead.

However, when the police station went down to investigate, not only was the situation in Yangong Town calm, but also the person who sued him did not know where to go. The police station was about to give up the investigation, and someone found a male corpse on a barren mountain not far from Yangong Town, and it was found that it was the person who sued the officer of Yangong Town. This incident was obviously someone who killed someone, but the police station could not find any evidence, so they reported the matter to the security department, because it involved the garrison of Yangong Town, Liu Yong came to ask Wang Haitao what to do.

If this kind of thing happens, Wang Haitao naturally wants to investigate to the end, but considering that Yangong Town has Liao Zhen, the lieutenant general and division commander, only sending Liu Yong to investigate will definitely not be able to deal with Liao Zhen, so Wang Haitao decided to go to Yangong Town in person. So Wang Haitao discussed with Liu Yong, and he took Tangshan Leopard and four guards, while Liu Yong selected eight capable members from the security team, all of whom wore civilian clothes, and went to Yangong Town.

Yangong Town is less than 10 kilometers away from the county seat of Jing County, and it is the only way from Jing County to Jingde County. Early the next morning, Wang Haitao and his entourage of fifteen people rode horses and came to the north gate of Yangong Town in less than an hour. Because Yangong Town is located on the north-south road, the town is quite lively, and there are many pedestrians and merchants who come from the south to live in the north on the road. There was a squad of soldiers checking pedestrians at the north gate of the town, Wang Haitao dismounted, asked a team member to watch over the horses in an inn outside the town and waited for him, and then led the others to the north gate.

Wang Haitao observed the soldiers guarding the door at close range, these soldiers were a little lazy, but they were not embarrassed by the ordinary people, only to inquire about some convoys transporting a large number of goods, this kind of inquiry is also mostly to get some benefits, the owner of the goods is acquainted, take a little money to beat these soldiers, and then smoothly enter the city.

Wang Haitao is also helpless about this kind of behavior, almost all the city gates are the same, even the 93rd Division in Jing County has this situation, how can Wang Haitao manage it, as long as the soldiers are not excessive, Wang Haitao will turn a blind eye. Wang Haitao: They didn't have any goods, and the soldiers guarding the door simply asked a few words and let them go.

After entering Yangong Town, Wang Haitao saw that the town was still very lively, and the shops at this point had just opened, but the business between the early stalls and the various restaurants that operated breakfast was very good, and Wang Haitao had many officers and soldiers eating breakfast in the restaurants, and some of the officers and soldiers were still very familiar with the owners of the restaurants, and they obviously came to visit frequently.

Wang Haitao said to Liu Yong: "Let's find a restaurant to understand the situation first." Then I chose a larger restaurant and walked inside. As soon as he entered the restaurant, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man greeted him and said with a smile on his face: "A few guest officers, please come inside, the shop has porridge, steamed buns, buns, fritters, wontons, noodles, I don't know what the guest officer wants to order?"

Liu Yong looked at Wang Haitao and said, "One bowl of noodles per person, and thirty steamed buns." The man immediately shouted, "Fourteen bowls of noodles and thirty steamed buns." Then he led Wang Haitao and others to a few empty tables in the store, wiped the table with a rag and said, "Guest officers, please wait a while, it will be fine immediately!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

As soon as Wang Haitao sat down, he saw a second lieutenant officer and two soldiers just finished eating, came to the counter, and said to the shopkeeper: "Boss Wang, settle the account." An old man with glasses at the counter smiled and said, "Platoon Commander Li, have you eaten?" The platoon leader Li took out ten coppers and handed them to the old man, and exchanged a few polite words before leaving.

Wang Haitao was still very satisfied with this, and at this time the guy came to the table with a few baskets of hot buns, Wang Haitao called out to the guy who was about to leave, and asked: "Man, do you have to pay cash for your military master's meal? As soon as the man heard Wang Haitao ask about this, he immediately became energetic and said: "That's it, you don't look at whose territory this is, whose soldiers these people are!"
