It was already noon. Su Rui, who was full of worries, walked around the church and found that there were many refugees with unfamiliar faces in the church. Even the church was crowded with ordinary people. When he asked, it turned out that these people were from nearby.
Su Rui took a quick look at the residents of Nanjing who had taken refuge in the church, and found that there were five to six hundred people there.
At this time, Xu Yaoshan ran over and found Su Rui. She told him that due to the rapid expansion of Su Rui's men and horses in the past two days, it turned out that the more than two tons of grain he had brought from the warehouse was no longer enough, and he had to find a way to pull grain again as soon as possible.
Just fine.
Su Rui pondered for a moment and then asked: "How long can the current food last?"
Xu Yaoshan hesitated for a moment before replying: "We can eat until tomorrow at most, and we will stop eating the day after tomorrow."
When Su Rui heard this, she felt even more annoyed and cursed: "Asshole!"
"Um!"
When Su Rui saw that Xu Yaoshan's eyebrows slowly rose again, she realized that she had inadvertently scolded this girl again. Then she smiled brightly and said: "Okay, I'm not scolding you. But.
You are serious, why are you telling me now? You must know that the food problem is a big deal. Once we run out of food, we, thousands of people, will be defeated without a fight."
"Tell you, what should I tell you?" Seeing Su Rui blaming herself, Xu Yaoshan's eyes immediately turned red, and she argued: "You have been fighting with the Japanese outside for the past two days, and you have no time to go back to the church.
Where could I tell you to go? It’s because you just went back to church today that I had the opportunity to tell you, but I didn’t expect you to start blaming me as soon as you heard it.”
When Su Rui saw it, he realized...it was all his fault. In addition, he saw that the girl opposite had red eyes and was about to shed tears. He had no choice but to raise his hands and said: "Okay, I blamed you wrongly.
It’s my fault, so that’s okay!”
"Huh, it's your fault. You're obviously wrong and you still blame others." Xu Yaoshan wiped her eyes and her expression returned to normal. But she was careless and didn't realize that there was a rare hint of coquettishness in her voice.
Emotions.
After Xu Yaoshan finished speaking, she lowered her head and said nothing. After a while, he raised his head and found that Su Rui's brows were wrinkled. Her face, which originally made her teeth itch with hatred when she thought about it, showed an unprecedented seriousness.
It was obvious that the person in front of me was struggling with this matter.
Xu Yaoshan, who was staring at Su Rui, realized at this time that the person she had hated these days still had such a big responsibility on his shoulders. The life and death of more than a thousand people, and even food and drink, were all on his shoulders. This look
The burden is countless times heavier than the small task of cooking for everyone.
After a while, Su Rui reluctantly smiled at Xu Yaoshan and said: "Okay, I know this matter, I will solve it, you go and do your work."
"Then...you have to be careful!" Xu Yaoshan said with rare concern, but Su Rui, who was full of worries, didn't notice it. He just waved his hand casually to indicate that he knew, and then walked forward slowly.
Su Rui thought about it carefully and sent someone to call all the officers for a meeting. Soon, seven infantry company commanders including Lin Shiqian, Li Yifeng, Wang Dashan, Wu Chengfeng, Luo Jiawo and two artillery companies Wang Dezi and Wu Dali,
The firepower company, Bai Jingran and other officers came to a room on the second floor of the church hall.
Due to the simple conditions, everyone sat casually on stools, chairs and even ammunition boxes after arriving. Suri didn't take it seriously and found an ammunition box and sat down as well.
Suri first read to everyone the telegram sent by the Ministry of General Affairs in clear code to everyone. When everyone heard it, they all became excited.
Lin Shiqian was the first to call out: "Sir, this is a good thing! Originally, you single-handedly set up our independent battalion. Now that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has given you an official designation, this time we are justified in our name!"
"Well, that's right!"
Everyone in the room nodded together. They were originally second lieutenants, lieutenants and even non-commissioned officers. Suriti quickly promoted him to the position of captain and company commander. Although he was promoted in terms of position, everyone always had a feeling in their hearts.
I feel like I am the king of the mountain. Now that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has issued an order, now everyone is officially an officer of the national army and is registered in the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.
Moreover, when an independent battalion is upgraded to an independent regiment, according to the principle of the three-three system, at least three battalion commanders must be added. Where do the three battalion commanders come from? They are not selected from among them, but they have become a regiment-level unit. At least
There should also be a series of positions such as deputy regimental commander, chief of staff, chief of staff, chief of staff, chief of logistics department, etc. There are only so many officers in the regiment now. It is certain that they, the old men of the independent regiment, can occupy a place.
Seeing the unbearable joy on everyone's faces, Su Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. These people forgot about it as soon as they heard about the promotion. Didn't they expect that their side was now facing a three-sided siege by the Japanese army?
Thinking of this, Su Rui couldn't help but forget about Bai Jingran who was standing aside, and found a trace of worry on his face. Su Rui nodded slightly. It seemed that not everyone was carried away, and some people still kept their thoughts.
sober.
Suri clapped her hands and said, "Okay, everyone is quiet. Now we have a meeting."
After everyone calmed down, Su Rui continued: "Although we have been upgraded to an independent regiment, some things cannot be solved with just one number. We still have many things to solve, such as soldier issues, food issues, organizational issues, etc.
Wait. Originally, these problems all took time to solve, but now the situation is urgent, and the Japanese will not give us too much time. Therefore, we have to deal with special problems, so I will use my status as the leader to act arbitrarily."
At this point, Suri said loudly: "Now I give the order!"
"Wow!"
Upon hearing this, all the officers, including Bai Jingran, stood up and looked at Suri together.
Su Rui said loudly: "After the independent battalion was upgraded to an independent regiment, the new organization was as follows. The whole regiment set up two battalions, and each battalion set up three companies. One battalion was in charge of the one, two and three companies. Lin Shiqian, the former commander of the first company, was promoted to
The first battalion commander. The second battalion is responsible for the 456th company. The former second company commander Li Yifeng was promoted to the second battalion commander. As for the remaining seventh company, it was changed to the regiment security company. The remaining artillery company and firepower company will not make any changes for the time being.
.As for Bai Jingran, I intend to ask you to be the chief of staff of our independent regiment, what do you think?"
Due to Bai Jingran's special status, he and his more than 20 soldiers never entered Su Rui's command in the form of being recruited from the beginning to the end. Therefore, Su Rui has always been polite to Bai Jingran.
Now Suri is asking him if he intends to be his deputy leader, which is a disguised way of asking him if he might join the independent group.
How could Bai Jingran not understand what Su Rui meant? Bai Jingran thought for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "I understand what Mr. Su means, and I am very grateful for your love. It's just that people have to know themselves, and it's not right to make suggestions."
I'm the director, so I can't take this position. If Commander Su really wants to, let me be the director of the training department of the independent regiment!"
"this……"
Su Rui hesitated for a moment. After serving as a soldier for a few days, he also understood some of the establishment of the national army. The training department, as the name suggests, is the combat and training department. It is subordinate to the combat department and is commanded by the chief of staff of the army. Its main responsibility is to assist
The chief of staff is responsible for the operations and training of the troops.
Although the training office can be regarded as a department with real power, its authority is far less important and prominent than the position of chief of staff.
What is the chief of staff? The chief of staff is the chief steward of the army. Entrusted by the military commander, he manages the daily operations, training, military affairs, reconnaissance intelligence, agency management and other tasks of the army. It can be said that the chief of staff is the second in command of the army.
, the second in command, when Suri is away, the chief of staff of the independent group has the final say.
Some people may ask, isn’t there a deputy commander position? Why is it the chief of staff’s turn to be the second-in-command? In fact, anyone who is slightly familiar with the Chinese army knows that the deputy commanders of the Chinese army are generally in charge of the army’s logistics and supplies.
It was a trivial matter. To put it bluntly, it was no different from a housekeeper. Su Rui naturally did not dare to arrange Bai Jingran like this.
But now Bai Jingran has turned down Su Ruixu's position as chief of staff and volunteered to be the director of the training department. This is a strange problem. Now Su Rui really doesn't understand.
Seeing Su Rui's eyes, Bai Jingran smiled and waved his hand and said: "Sir Su, don't look at me. I know that I am not the material to be the chief of staff, otherwise I would not have stayed in the general training team for so many years and still be a tactic."
Instructor. If you really want me to work in the independent group, then just arrange it like this."
"Okay...since you insist on being the director of the training department, then it's up to you."
Su Rui smiled helplessly: "Now that the preparation work has come to an end, let's talk about the food issue. Our food..."
"boom……"
Just as Suri finished speaking, there was another explosion in the distance, followed by a series of roars.
