Chapter three hundred and fifty-eight official seal
Su Tong, Jiang Baili, Gao Zhihang, Le Yiqin and other senior Chahar generals from the Zhangjiakou Seventh War Zone Headquarters all came to the small restaurant that Su Tong had temporarily arranged. Now there is a sumptuous banquet there. Today we Su Tong
The chief minister's surname is of high quality, because he wants to entertain Tang Shengzhi, Luo Zhuoying, Yu Chengwan, Liao Yaoxiang and Qiu Qingquan, several generals who have just joined Chahar.
With a smile on his face, Su Tong looked at the many generals who had been recruited by himself in the restaurant, and he felt indescribably happy. Is this guy a professional poacher now? He always poached the chairman of the committee, and he felt still
I feel really sorry.
In fact, many of Commander Su’s subordinates were recruited from the service of Chairman Chiang and Jiang Baili, so most of them know each other. For example, Luo Zhuoying graduated from the eighth artillery section of Baoding Military Academy and is a serious student.
Jiang Baili's students, when they saw Jiang Baili calling him the principal, did not dare to go beyond him. Tang Shengzhi was no exception. He was also a junior in front of Jiang Baili.
Yu Chengwan, Liao Yaoxiang, Qiu Qingquan and others also graduated from Huangpu and all knew each other, so the scene was quite lively.
After everyone had a drink, Su Tong brought a bottle of Maotai wine from the orderly on the side and poured it for everyone at the table. No one except Jiang Baili dared to enjoy this treatment and stood up to show respect.
Chief Su smiled and waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down. After filling everyone's glasses with wine, he picked up the wine glasses and said to Luo Zhuoying and others: "Everyone, I offer you this glass of wine for two purposes. First.
First, because everyone has worked hard recently, and secondly, because in the future, everyone may work even harder, but there is no way, who makes us soldiers. Come and invite everyone to drink up this cup, and do it."
"Give" the boss's toast to anyone who dares not to give face. Everyone will drink it in one gulp.
After finishing the glass of wine, Su Tong looked at Jiang Baili, who smiled knowingly, "There's nothing you can do, you can't even have a drink to make yourself happy. Jianming, you won't even let me, an old man, have a good meal. That's good."
, let me get down to business first.”
Well, now that the words are coming, Luo Zhuoying and others all know that a topic related to their future is coming, and the two people who determine their destiny are sitting next to them. It would be a lie to say that they are not nervous, although among everyone
They acted relatively calm in front of them, but the anxiety in their eyes betrayed their mood.
However, Gao Zhihang and Le Yiqin ignored the matter and ignored the gang and took their own share.
Jiang Baili first turned his eyes to Tang Shengzhi, "Meng Xiao, I know that you are very strong in life, but you don't have much military talent. Jianming and I both think that you are not suitable for leading troops, so Jianming and I discussed it.
What do you think about assigning you to the Chahar Police Department as the director?”
Su Tong had already discussed this issue with Tang Shengzhi when he was in Nanjing, and Tang Shengzhi had already been mentally prepared, so there was no big fluctuation in his heart and he nodded in agreement one by one.
Jiang Baili looked at Luo Zhuoying again, but did not speak. He kept tapping the table with the back of his hand. Although Luo Zhuoying was anxious, he did not dare to express it.
"Pfft"
It turned out that it was our Chief Su who laughed and said with a smile: "Okay, my Chief of Staff, what are you doing that makes Brother You Qing nervous?"
"Haha" Su Tong interrupted, and everyone laughed.
"Haha" Jiang Baili also laughed, "You Qing, you are my student, I know your abilities, I have discussed your arrangements with Commander Su, and now we have two options for you to choose from.
One is to serve as the chief of staff of the 41st Army Group in Jehol, and the other is to serve as Bai Jiansheng's deputy in the Siberia Group, that is, as the chief of staff of the Siberia Group. Which one do you want to choose?"
"Chief of Staff of the Siberian Army" Yu Chengwan, Liao Yaoxiang, and Qiu Qingquan's eyes almost popped out when they heard this sentence. The 300,000 troops accumulated there are the most elite troops in Chahar. They have
Equipped with the most sophisticated equipment and the best soldiers, it is known as the Chahar Ace Corps. Serving as the Chief of Staff there is an extremely important task. Even fools know how to choose. It seems that having a teacher who is the Chief of General Staff is really
OK.
But to Zhong's surprise, Luo Zhuoying thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your care, principal. I think it would be better for you to go to the 41st Group as the chief of staff."
"Oh why don't you go to the Siberian Group? They are one of our most elite troops in Chahar." Jiang Baili asked with a smile.
Luo Zhuoying gave a bitter smile, "Principal, please stop making fun of the students. Don't you know that students think that there is no problem if they command an infantry army, but if they are in charge of a group army, especially a person like this?
Students who coordinate the highly mechanized group army do not think they have the ability yet, but the 41st Group Army is different. This group army has just been established, and the level of mechanization is not that high, so students should be able to do it."
"Yes." Jiang Baili nodded happily, "You Qing, I'm very happy that you think so. The ancients said that knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing. It's not shameful if you don't understand, but if you don't understand and pretend to understand after you reach the position of commander
A blind command will ruin our most elite mechanized group of 300,000 people in Chahar. Mechanized command is a highly synthetic command system. This is also a new thing in the world. Many people have never been exposed to it.
If you don’t know and are not surprised, you can learn slowly in the future. Chahar’s troop organization and command system are somewhat different from those in China, and you will gradually adapt to it.”
"Yes, students must obey the principal's instructions," Luo Zhuoying said respectfully from the side.
Su Tong was secretly proud when he saw Tang Shengzhi and Luo Zhuoying's respectful attitude towards Jiang Baili. As the saying goes, having an elder in a family is like having a treasure. With Jiang Baili as a great god in Chahar, it would be much easier to subdue his younger brother.
.Especially those who came from Baoding Military Academy. When they see him, they have to scream like a principal. If there is not such a great god behind them, Tang Shengzhi and Luo Zhuoying will not be so easy to vote for them.
bring it on
After Jiang Baili arranged Luo Zhuoying, he turned to Su Tong and smiled: "Jianming, you can arrange the remaining three."
Su Tong knew that Jiang Baili wanted to establish his authority in front of everyone, especially people like Liao Yaoxiang, Qiu Qingquan, and Yu Chengwan, and he wanted to make them understand who gave them everything.
After thinking about it, Su Tong first said to Liao Yaoxiang: "Brother Jianchu, I know your abilities very well. You are a talented person. Now our army lacks military officers, especially middle- and high-level military officers. Let's do this.
, our seventh theater has now formed several more infantry divisions. I want you to serve as the division commander of the newly formed 46th Infantry and be promoted to major general. What do you think?"
"Ah" Even Liao Yaoxiang was surprised by his calmness. When he decided to join Su Tong, he knew that Su Tong would not treat them badly, but he did not expect that Su Tong would give him an infantry division command from the beginning.
After arriving in Chahar, several of them also studied Chahar's troop organization and firepower equipment. Although Chahar's organization is also a three-three system, overall it is much larger than [].
Chahar's division-level organization is divided into three infantry regiments, each with approximately 4,200 personnel, plus artillery regiments, guard battalions, engineer battalions, baggage battalions, reconnaissance companies, and communications
A company, etc., a division has a strength of about eighteen thousand men.
Liao Yaoxiang was previously the chief of staff of the Second Brigade of the [] Teaching Corps, and his military rank was only colonel. Now that he has suddenly jumped to the position of division commander, it is equivalent to being promoted to three levels in a row.
Liao Yaoxiang was so excited that his face flushed and he stood up and saluted Su Tong: "Thank you, sir, for your cultivation. Yaoxiang will definitely devote himself to death."
When Liao Yaoxiang became the teacher, he was the only one among the sixth-term graduates of Huangpu, so he was naturally very excited.
"Sit, sit" Su Tong waved his hand with satisfaction, "I am not promoting you as a division commander to ask you to repay me. I only ask that you work hard to kill the enemy, win glory for the country, and bring out a strong iron-blooded force for our seventh theater.
"
"Even if you hold a humble position, you must fight bravely to kill the enemy and win glory for the country."
"Okay, please sit down"
After saying this, Su Tong turned around and looked at Qiu Qingquan. At this time, Qiu Qingquan saw Chief Su looking at him and couldn't help but straighten his waist a little, looking at Su Tong expectantly.
Su Tong couldn't help laughing when he saw it, "Yu'an, I know your temper. You have an arrogant personality and a bold combat command style. You are a rare and strong general, but you are easy to break and too much is too much. I hope you can understand this."
reason."
"Sir, this is a humble position." Qiu Qingquan couldn't help but want to say a few words, but was stopped by Su Tong.
"Yu'an, it's a good thing that you fight bravely, but you also have a shortcoming, that is, you can't get along well with your colleagues, which is not good. You must know that on the battlefield, you are all heroes who can entrust each other's lives, how can you not get along well with your colleagues?
You must pay attention to this when building a good relationship."
"It's a humble position, so I'll keep it in mind." Qiu Qingquan agreed with a blushing face.
"Well, as long as you can remember it. You are already a major general, so I won't promote you. I heard that you once studied armored force at the Army University in Berlin, Germany, right?"
"Yes." Qiu Qingquan answered with his head raised.
"Well, I will give you two choices here. The first is to immediately give you a newly formed infantry division and make you the division commander. The second is to go back to the Chahar Armored Corps to train as a trainee for three months and serve as the newly formed infantry division."
Commander of the 3rd Armored Division, what do you think?"
Qiu Qingquan answered without hesitation: "I am willing to go back to the Armored Forces Academy to further my studies and return to the Armored Division."
This time, Gao Zhihang and Le Yiqin, who were immersed in eating, looked at Liao Yaoxiang with some surprise. Let's see how good this guy who can't stand Yang is, how capable he is of Su Tong's favor and commanding an armored division.
Only Su Tong knew that although Liao Yaoxiang was a bit arrogant and bold, he was very talented in commanding armored troops and could be said to be a very good armored commander.
Finally, Su Tong looked at Yu Chengwan and said, "Brother Yu, your military talent is very high. I admire it very much. Although we still have several new infantry divisions, I don't intend to let you take command."
.”
Having said this, Su Tong specifically observed Yu Chengwan and found that Yu Chengwan's expression had not changed much. His eyes were still so calm and he nodded secretly. He was not shocked by honor or disgrace. He is indeed a talent.
"I plan to let you succeed Hu Lian as the commander of the 102nd Division. What do you think?"
"What?" Even Yu Chengwan's composure couldn't help but be shocked. Liao Yaoxiang and Qiu Qingquan next to them also put down their chopsticks and looked at Su Tong in surprise.
Commander of the 102nd Division. They knew very well what kind of army the 102nd Division was. It was a unit that fought from Siberia to Jehol and Shanghai with great achievements. Some people in China even called it the First Army of China.
First Division, its original division commander Hu Lian is now a famous general in the country.
Now that Su Tong is going to hand over such an ace unit to Yu Chengwan, it means how much Su Tong trusts and values Yu Chengwan, the new person who has joined him.
"Sir, you really have to hand over Master Huben to me." Although Yu Chengwan was usually calm, his voice could not help but tremble at this time.
"There are no jokes in the army," Su Tong deliberately said, "If you, Yu Chengwan, think that you are not capable and cannot take on this important task, then I can change another unit for you to command."
"No, no" Yu Chengwan waved his hands repeatedly, "I will definitely lead Master Huben to make new achievements and never embarrass the superior."
"Okay, I believe you can do it." Su Tong smiled: "King Wu has 300 military chariots and 300 tiger warriors. Commander Yu, I hope you will not live up to the title of tiger warrior master."
"Yes, I will defend the honor of Master Huben to the death even if I hold such a humble position," Yu Chengwan replied solemnly.
"That's good, Commander Yu and Commander Liao, you will lead your troops to Rehe the day after tomorrow. After you get there, you will be under the control of the 41st Group Army. Although Hu Boyu is your senior and junior, you must obey the command and must
I know that military law is ruthless, but I don’t want to see the day when you are taken away by people from the Military Justice Department.”
At this point, Su Tong's face was full of solemn expressions. Liao Yaoxiang and Yu Chengwan both knew that Commander Su's words were not a joke. If he really delayed the fight because of his disobedience, the board in Commander Su's hand would not
Show mercy.
The two of them stood up collectively, "Sir's instructions, you must bear in mind your humble position."
"Okay, let's drink this wine together and congratulate you on your immediate success."
