"Ah, look, it must be the Chief of Staff who is back!" "Haha, the Chief of Staff is finally back! Quick, beat the drums! Set off firecrackers! Set off fireworks! "Pull up all the banners, and welcome the division and our Jiaodong Peninsula soldiers home!" Cracking sound! Knock knock!

When someone saw the lights of the convoy coming from far and near, the black crowd began to boil all of a sudden, and in an instant, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers rang out, and all kinds of colorful fireworks lit up the night sky! At this time, although it was already the late autumn season, and the cool breeze blew at night, making people's faces stiff and their limbs cold, but the lights of the convoy in the distance seemed to be a ray of powerful and warm sunshine shining into everyone's hearts, and everyone's hearts became enthusiastic! "Oh, what a kind and simple common man! It's just that in a troubled world, human life is like a mustard, and I have no way not to fight! Looking at the boiling crowd in the distance, Jiang Qiang felt very uncomfortable, and felt a little ashamed of the guilt and pain of Jiangdong's father!

Although he did win a big battle this time, killing more than 23,000 little devils, the number of casualties on his side alone reached 1,478! The death of 1,478 people means that more than 1,500 young lives have been lost, it means that more than 1,500 families will suffer the pain of losing their children and husbands, and it means heartbreaking life and death partings!

Jiang Qiang is not a politician, not a careerist, not a warlord of the emperor of the soil, and he never thought of "one will succeed in ten thousand bones", and use the accumulated bones of others to lay his own eternal foundation! However, it's just that he was born in this war-torn era, Jiang Qiang really has no choice, because "if I don't kill people, people will kill me"!

Zhuang Tao, under the leadership of a large group of county government officials, welcomed Jiang Qiang to the county government, and Yu Yanluo also rushed over from Qixia County at this time. In the evening, where was the county government and Zhuang Tao and Yu Yanluo had a meal and rested, the angry Yu Yanluo stomped his feet and scolded, "It's really a nerd, looking for so many little wives in Tianjin, and it won't work when I get to Zhaoyuan, am I really embarrassed, it seems that next time I'll take the initiative myself, or I won't be able to take it for those fox spirits, well, nerds"

After breakfast, Jiang Qiang drove directly to the county government, leaving Zhaoyuan County for more than half a year. After spending an hour or two understanding and handling official business, Jiang Qiang said to Huzi next to him: "Huzi, you immediately notify the following people to come to the meeting!" ”

After speaking, Jiang Qiang handed a list to Huzi. "Okay, I'll call right away!" Huzi didn't say a word, picked up the list and walked out! "Wouldn't it be nice if we could continue to develop peacefully like this? I can't bear to see this paradise devastated by war! Jiang Qiang stood up and walked to the window, looking at the beautiful scenery of prosperity and tranquility near and far, and his heart was both proud and worried!

Nowadays, Zhaoyuan County can be said to be a paradise in the troubled times, with a beautiful living environment, excellent public security, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and all walks of life are thriving! If there is no cloud of war, Jiang Qiang will ask Zhuang Tao to soon carry out a series of modernization reforms, increase the social security system, greatly improve social welfare, let all walks of life have a blowout skyrocket, and let Zhaoyuan County's economic level, military strength and people's happiness index rise again!

It's just that the war will soon start at home, and Jiang Qiang can only do his best to improve his military strength and prevent all kinds of possibilities on the premise of ensuring basic welfare! Half an hour later, all the people who should attend the meeting came to the conference room of the Zhaoyuan County Government, and Jiang Qiang walked into the venue with his legs! As soon as he stood in front of the stage, Jiang Qiang quipped straight to the point: "Hengsan, Wang Yong, Head Yang, Head Ren, Head Guang, you have just returned home and your wife and children are not hot enough, I will call you over, you won't blame me for being ignorant, right?" ”

"Where! Where! Chief of Staff, you summoned us to a meeting, and I was too late to be happy! "Yes! Oh, yes! Chief of Staff, if you have any new tasks, just give them down, we are full of energy now! "Hehe, I don't need to talk about it! Follow the chief of staff to do things, we will always have inexhaustible strength! ”

Wang Yong and the others hurriedly waved their hands and smiled, knowing very well that Jiang Qiang was going to do something big again, they were not afraid of trouble, they were afraid of being idle! "Very good, I want your spirit!"

Jiang Qiang nodded with great satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that Governor Han promoted our Jiaodong Independent Brigade to the Jiaodong Independent Division, and assigned Yantai and Haiyang County to the Independent Division Defense Zone!"

Among them, everyone should understand that this is not only a reward, but also a difficult responsibility, which is that Governor Han wants to hand over Jiaozhou Bay and the surrounding eastern coastal areas to us for defense! In order to fulfill the great trust of Governor Han and to protect the people of Shandong from the slaughter of the Japanese invaders in the future, I have made the following decisions and appointments! Listen up! "Please ask the chief of staff to command, even if we go to the soup and fire!"

Wang Yong, Heng San, Li Jinglin. Zhuang Tao. The others stood up one after another, saluted Jiang Qiang with solemn expressions, and made the entire conference room buzz with sonorous and powerful words. "Very good, shake your spirits, good luck will naturally come!" Jiang Qiang nodded with a smile, and then instructed heavily:

"Let me first state that before the content of today's meeting is implemented and turned into facts, all the contents must be kept strictly confidential, and we must not leak half a sentence to other unrelated personnel, otherwise it will be dealt with confidentially as leaking military aircraft!" "Please rest assured, Chief of Staff, we will keep it a secret!" "Well, that's a must!" "We're definitely not going to leak half a sentence!"

Wang Yong, Heng San, Zhuang Tao and others nodded solemnly and assured, knowing that the more solemn Jiang Qiang was, the more earth-shattering the things inside! Jiang Qiang then said to Yanluo: "You don't need to record today's meeting, everyone knows what they should do, and there is no need to form an official document!"

Only Jiang He was not present today because he was still on the way back to Zhaoyuan County, and when he came back, I would explain to him alone! "Okay! Good! Yu Yanluo nodded hurriedly and closed the notebook! Okay, so I'll get down to business now! ”

Jiang Qiang glanced at the people who were sitting in danger, and then said word by word: "The first topic, the expansion plan of the independent division!" I plan to expand the garrison regiment, the first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment into infantry brigades, each infantry brigade has three infantry regiments, and the upper limit of the number of each brigade is tentatively set at 7,000 people, and the special combat team will be expanded into a special operations brigade, which will be under the jurisdiction of a tank armored regiment and a special operations infantry regiment, with a tentative upper limit of 5,000 people!

In addition, the independent division will also expand and create tank armored regiments, artillery regiments, engineer regiments, baggage regiments, communication regiments, chemical defense regiments, health regiments, and art regiments! I will hold a separate meeting to discuss the specific matters concerning the preparation and establishment of these regiment-level units, and I will not discuss them in detail today! ”

At present, the division-level units of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War usually have two brigades and four infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, one artillery regiment, one battalion of engineers and baggage, and one company of spies, health, and communications, with a total of 13,854 people! And Jiang Qiang has always been Han Xin's general, the more soldiers, the better, did not play cards according to common sense, and directly organized the fifth brigade and 14th regiment, and also directly created 7 regiment-level units such as artillery regiment, engineer regiment, and baggage regiment, which is simply a crazy extreme thug! "Damn, it's really an earthbreaker again!" "Chief of Staff, what a big deal!"

"Hehe, now we can all be added to the knighthood!" "yes, don't worry about brothers competing with each other!" As soon as Jiang Qiang's words fell, Wang Yong, Zhuang Tao and others had bright eyes and whispered excitedly! It's only been more than a year since they followed Jiang Qiang, and they have turned from nobodies to high-powered brigade commanders and regiment commanders, which is like a dream!

"Mom, if you do it like this, won't our independent division directly become an independent army?" "Yes, at the beginning of the calculation, the total strength of our independent division can break through to more than 40,000 people?" In addition, Zhuang Tao, Chen Qing, Su Jinmin and other government dignitaries also looked very excited, people with a little common sense in this era know that power comes out of the barrel of a gun!

As long as Jiang Qiang continues to grow his military strength, they will definitely rise in the future, and it is even possible to expand their territory and tear up the land in the future! "Alright, everyone, be quiet!" After taking a few sips of the teacup, Jiang Qiang continued: "I have set the tone for the expansion of the troops, and the specific implementation process still needs everyone's collective efforts!"

I am responsible for purchasing weapons, equipment and supplies, and you are responsible for recruiting troops and horses according to the requirements, and training me as quickly as possible to train a strong army of elite soldiers who "come when called, can fight when they come, and win the battle"! Without waiting for Wang Yong and others to express their excited expressions, Jiang Qiang continued:

"This time, the grassroots officers and soldiers who have returned from the front line can take a five-day vacation for recuperation, and those of you who are senior officials, I will not give you a long vacation this time, but can only give you two days to deal with personal affairs! The day after tomorrow, on October 26th, you will all enter the working state, start to reorganize your respective teams, and set up the framework of your respective troops as soon as possible!

We must let those veterans who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield make good use of them, so that they can lead the recruits to grow as soon as possible and play their greatest role! In addition, after you go back, you should count and plan the personal exploits of the anti-Japanese war in the north, and those who should be rewarded will be rewarded, and those who should be promoted will be promoted, and we must be clear in rewards and punishments!

After you finish your vacation, you will draw up a plan for me to expand the troop and reward me within three days, is there a problem? "No problem!" "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" "Please rest assured, we will never disappoint your high expectations!"

Heng San, Zhuang Tao and the other four stood up one after another, and saluted Jiang Qiang very seriously, eager to devote themselves to a new job now, where can they still have the leisure to take a vacation? "Okay, you don't have to be too anxious, a proper combination of work and rest is still necessary!"

Looking at a few people rolling their eyes, Jiang Qiang didn't have to think about it to know what they were thinking, and immediately reminded him kindly, after all, as a modern person, I know that overwork is very harmful to the body, but don't make it too worthwhile to die of overwork! After talking about the most important topic, Jiang Qiang turned his head to Zhuang Tao and said: "You have to pay attention to a series of aftermath work, such as the management of the martyrs' bodies in the martyrs' cemetery, the condolences of the families of military martyrs, and the care of the minor and seriously wounded, and you must do your best to comfort the families of the martyrs and the wounded!" ”

Zhuang Tao hurriedly nodded solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, Chief of Staff, I will do my best to ensure that the task is completed!" "Hmm!" Jiang Qiang nodded his head, and then said to Chen Qing:

"Your Construction Bureau will have a lot of work recently, and you must organize manpower to upgrade the existing fortifications in Yantai and Haiyang County as soon as possible, and build them all into strong military fortresses! In addition, you must further increase the construction of civil air defense projects within the entire defense zone, so that even if the Japanese devils come to bomb every day in the future, you will be able to ensure the people's personal safety and the normal operation of the infrastructure!

Solicit more opinions on specific plans, don't be afraid to spend money and don't be afraid of wasting materials, I will fully support your construction project! I only ask for speed and quality, we have to hurry, the Japs won't give us too much time! Chen Qing hurriedly stood up and replied with confidence: "Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task!" The 8,500 construction personnel of our Construction Bureau have been working construction and have never slackened! ”

Jiang Qiang has always attached great importance to the construction of the Anti-Japanese War base, and from the very beginning, he spared no effort to improve the infrastructure capacity, and spent a huge amount of money to build a series of supporting production units such as power plants, cement plants, wire factories, steel plants, etc.! In addition, a large number of modern engineering vehicles, cranes, forklifts, rollers, gantry cranes, mixers, tower cranes, rock drills and other construction equipment have also been purchased! After more than a year of training and development, the Zhaoyuan County Construction Bureau has transformed into a contemporary infrastructure maniac, and the construction capacity has become quite terrifying.

And at present, in the surrounding neighboring counties, Zhaoyuan County and Qixia County have successively completed the construction of several high-grade cement roads, and all kinds of vehicles and equipment can easily arrive in neighboring counties for construction! "Good!" Jiang Qiang cast an approving look, and then said in a deep voice: "That's all I will talk about today, you still have nothing to add or don't understand?" "This!"

Heng San looked at Jiang Qiang, and then asked with curiosity: "Chief of Staff, I want to ask, what is going on with the tank armored regiment you just mentioned?" Hehe, we've been practicing on fake tanks for a lot of time before, but we haven't seen a real tank? ”

I got a few little devil's Douding tanks in Fengtai before, but Jiang Qiang didn't look down on them at all, so he directly gave them to the 29th Army, and Huzi and the others just had a good time! Jiang Qiang smiled: "Don't worry, there will be bread and milk!" Don't worry, when did I lose my words? You'll find out what's going on in a few days! Hearing this, where can Hengsan not know what it means, and suddenly rubbed his hands excitedly and said:

"It's really good, we can finally tank armored troops, and it won't be so hard to fight the little devil position in the future! Ha ha! "Great, the division chief of staff is mighty!" "Long live the independent division!"

Zhuang Tao and the others also followed a burst of ecstasy, and the entire conference room became cheering, although everyone had long been accustomed to Jiang Qiang's unfathomable ability, but this time it was a direct addition of a tank regiment that still made everyone extremely excited and surprised! After being excited for a while, Yang Chengliang then asked: "Chief of Staff, we have now increased the defense area by two counties, so do we have to adjust the specific deployment?" Do we have to separate our brigades?

In addition, I am still a little worried, Yantai is Haiyang County, the devil navy is so powerful, can we hold it in the future? Ren Yixiong nodded and agreed: "Yes, I also have such worries!" Although the increase in the defense zone is equivalent to an increase in the strategic room for maneuver, the same pressure will definitely be magnified several times! "Now that the Battle of Guangdong is coming to an end, the Japanese army has relied on its strong weapons and equipment superiority to inflict heavy casualties on more than 800,000 national troops!

Although Jiang Qiang's command has fought fiercely with the Japanese army several times, and they have won more with less, which is very eye-catching, Huzi and others know very well that the military strength on their side is still far from enough! If all the troops of the independent division are put into the Guangdong battlefield, at best, it will hold on for a few more days than other troops and kill more little devils, and in the end it will only be completely disabled or even completely annihilated!

Jiang Qiang chuckled confidently and said, "What are you afraid of, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!" If we take the initiative to fight a tough battle, we will indeed suffer heavy casualties, but if we stick to our own territory, do we need to be afraid?

The little devils are just a group of dogs who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and they will also be afraid in the face of death, I don't believe that they will always be stupid to exchange a few lives for one of our lives? To put it in his heart, Jiang Qiang was actually a little nervous, the strength of the Japanese army during World War II was not blown out, and the Yankees were once beaten to the ground! If the base camp of the Japanese army at this stage directly lists itself as the number one enemy and does not give time for obscene development, it will really not be fun! "What the Chief of Staff said is extremely true!"

"This is also true, the fortifications and anti-aircraft firepower we are building now, even if the little devils, tanks, planes, and artillery take turns to fight, don't want to take advantage of anything!" "yes, that's it!" "Well, if the little devil knocks on the door, let's just fight with them, or kill one without losing two and earn one, haha!"

"A soldier is a general, and he will be the soul of a soldier", Jiang Qiang is an omnipotent god of war in the eyes of everyone, and everyone sees that he is still light and light, and the worry that just arose was instantly shattered! "Alright, that's it for today's meeting! What should you do, take a good rest for a day or two, and it's not too late to start work the day after tomorrow! Zhuang Tao, you stay, I still have something to explain! After a few more gossips, Jiang Qiang withdrew from the crowd and said to Zhou Hao alone: "Zhou Hao, it's not just for you to join in the fun when you attend the meeting today!"

I'm going to make you the commander of the tank armored regiment, so be prepared! "In Jiang Qiang's plan, the tank armored corps, air force and navy will be gradually established in the future, and these arms will undoubtedly become elite forces that restrict the victory or defeat of the war! Zhou Hao is also an old man in Hongkou District, Shanghai. With Jiang Qiang, they are almost ten years. Zhou Hao is one of his most trusted people, and Jiang Qiang has no reason not to vigorously cultivate him and put him in a key and important position!

What's more, Zhou Hao's abilities are good in all aspects, and he has been trained to become a general who is in charge of himself, so Jiang Qiang can be virtuous without any psychological burden! "Huh? Division! I, why don't you let Liu Qiang go, I still want to follow you! ”

Zhou Hao looked at Jiang Qiang in surprise, he didn't expect that he would be entrusted with a heavy task so soon, and he originally thought that it would be very good to become the commander of the newly expanded guard battalion! "This is an order, and you can't bargain!" Jiang Qiang waved his hand undoubtedly, and then said in a deep voice: "General Tang Juwu has sent nearly a hundred tanks, and they will soon arrive in Zhaoyuan County!"

These are all big guys with fierce firepower, and the tanks of small Japan are not vulnerable in front of them at all! In the future, the tank regiment will be expanded into tank divisions, and even tank regiments, and I will rest assured that such an important unit will only be handed over to you! "Thank you Chief of Staff for cultivation, I, Zhou Hao, am inexplicably grateful!" Zhou Hao hurriedly stood up and saluted, and swore in an unusually firm tone: "Please rest assured, Chief of Staff, I will go all out to bring good soldiers for the division, if there is any mistake, I will come to see you!" "Good! Sit down first! ”

Jiang Qiang nodded, and then said: "I will give you a whole set of training materials on tank armored forces as soon as possible, you must familiarize yourself with the business as soon as possible!" There is a lot of knowledge in this, you have to pay a lot of attention, we are now self-made, and many things have to rely on exploration and learning! You'll have to put a lot of thought into that! "Jiang Qiang has been in contact with tanks in the army before, but he is not proficient in it, but he only knows the concepts of tank operation, tank infantry cooperative operations, tank communication, tank maintenance and repair, etc., so the specific content needs to be carefully managed and expanded!

Fortunately, Shanghai not only sent tanks, but also sent various manuals, books, and technical materials, and Jiang Qiang could take them out and hand them over to Zhou Hao! "Hey, that's good! In this way, you will not be blind, and there should be no problem with drawing a scoop with a gourd! Zhou Hao suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense with you! Hurry home and spend more time with your wife and children, they have been in Zhaoyuan County for more than a year, but they have been getting together less and leaving more with you, you have to thank your wife! She is a good woman, and it is not easy to be a military wife in our army! ”

Jiang Qiang doesn't talk nonsense, and after finishing the business, he will issue an eviction order! Zhou Hao smiled with a hippie smile: "Chief of Staff, aren't you the same!" Soak with us big men all day long, when will Sister Tingting and Miss Yu ......"

"Stop! I know my things! Hurry up and get out of here, or I'll leave you without a day off! "Please calm the anger of the chief of staff, the little one will get out!" Ha ha! Zhou Hao whistled and hummed a little song and walked out of the conference room, sure enough, people were in good spirits on happy occasions! It's sunny outside, and it's rare to have half a day of leisure, so I also go out to bask in the sun! By the way, observe the people's feelings! ”

After dealing with the urgent task, Jiang Qiang looked at his watch and found that it was only 10:15 in the morning, and immediately went back to the office to change into casual clothes and go shopping!
