"Sir, please take care of those people from the 300 Brigade. They are running around in the hospital and our camp like crazy these days, poaching everyone they see, making it clear that they don't take us seriously.
If they continue to behave like this, we won’t be able to lead the team!”
In the legion headquarters of the 17th Army, there were Hu Zongnan, Song Xilian and a group of general-level officers, including the mayor of Nanjing, Lieutenant General Xiao Shanling, who originally committed suicide on the riverside and died for his country.
A colonel leader was standing in front of Hu Zongnan angrily scolding Suri and his 300 brigade, with a trace of anger in his eyes.
Hu Zongnan frowned, turned to Song Xilian and said, "What on earth is going on? Are you being harassed by Na Su Rui and his 300 Brigade troops?"
Song Xilian's mouth showed a hint of bitterness, and nodded gently: "Yes, sir, Su Rui and his men have gone crazy these days. They are poaching people everywhere, not to mention the wounded who are recovering in the hospital.
Many officers and soldiers in our army who were supposed to return from the hospital went to the 300 Brigade. They even asked their connections to contact the officers below and recruit them to the 300 Brigade. For this reason, he
He did not hesitate to offer twice as much military pay as ours.
What’s even more irritating is that they don’t even spare our military camp. They send people to guard the entrance of the military camp. As soon as our officers go out, they take them to drink and eat, and then directly poach people. Our 36th Division already has
More than a dozen lieutenant-level officers were roped in to their side."
Hu Zongnan's face gradually darkened. This Su Rui really did everything possible to poach people, even resorting to such lousy tricks as promotion and salary increase. However, Hu Zongnan had to admit that although the sugar bomb offensive was so
This trick has been used extensively by Chinese people, but it is still very effective.
And what's worse is that he can't say anything. The Nationalist Government has relatively strict supervision on the exchange of low-level officers in the army. Don't you see, even General Tang Shengzhi, after poking such a huge hole, said:
If he quit, he could go back to his hometown in Hunan to retire. Chairman Chiang insisted on not doing anything to him. This shows that the loss of a few officers is really not a big deal for the national army.
And they can't blame Su Rui too much for this, because this kind of thing is too common for the national army. Everyone has done it, and their big boss, Chairman Chiang, is the leader. During the Central Plains War that year
, Chairman Chiang waved the banknotes in one hand and held an official hat in the other, and he just smashed the 800,000 anti-Chiang coalition forces that combined the Northwest Army, Jin Army and Guangxi Clan into pieces, and finally had to return to his hometown in despair.
So now when Su Rui came to poach people with a big ocean and a brand-new Garand rifle, everyone's suffering was hard to say. Even Song Xilian couldn't say anything about his reputation, so he could only run to Hu Zongnan collectively.
Come here to complain.
Hu Zongnan's face looked very ugly. He thought for a while and said dullly: "This Su Rui, didn't Chairman Chiang ask them to move to Xinxi County? Why are they still staying here and not leaving!"
"That Suri said he didn't receive one yuan of military pay and food from the top, so he insisted on not leaving."
When he heard his subordinates say this, Hu Zongnan snorted and fell silent. Although the establishment of the 300 brigade was given to Su Rui, to be honest, there was not even a hair on the military pay, equipment, or soldiers.
I can't blame Suri for getting angry.
However, Xiao Shanling on the side came up with an idea, "You don't want Su Rui here to harm your troops, but you are also reluctant to allocate him military pay and food. How can there be such a good thing in the world? In my opinion, everyone should hurry up
Let him go to Xinxi County to garrison for a sum of money!"
To be honest, Xiao Shanling still has a good impression of Su Rui. If it hadn't been for Su Rui a few days ago, not more than one-tenth of the more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians on the riverside would have escaped.
He also heard about what happened to Su Rui a few days ago. Although the Ministry of Military Affairs upgraded his establishment to 300 brigades, they refused to pay the guns and soldiers and did not provide food personnel. Even a clay figure would be punished if this happened.
Get angry.
It's okay now. They make their own money to support the troops, and they also poach the enemy from friendly forces. The retribution in this world is coming.
After listening to Xiao Shanling's words, Hu Zongnan thought about it and felt that it was not unacceptable. It would be better to give Su Rui a sum of money and send him away to cause harm to others.
Thinking of this, Hu Zongnan looked around and said, "What do you think of Commander Xiao (Commander of the Nanjing Gendarmerie)'s words?"
Although everyone wanted Su Rui and his 300 brigade to get out immediately, they were not happy when they heard that they had to raise money to send away the plague god who was poaching. One of the regiment commanders under Hu Zongnan immediately started shouting.
: "Legion Commander, are you too indulgent of that Su Rui? Didn't this young boy just happen to have won a few victorious battles in Nanjing? What's the big deal? If a regiment of our 17th Army was there,
Maybe he can fight better than that kid!"
As soon as the leader's words came out, he immediately attracted angry looks from everyone around him. Doesn't this guy mean that those who evacuated from Nanjing are just useless people?
A commander of the Eighty-seventh Division immediately said angrily: "Commander Sun, it seems that you know how to fight the Japanese. The Japanese are still staying in Nanjing on the other side of the river. Do you want to
We will send a ship to send your 566th regiment there, maybe you will be able to recover Nanjing as soon as you get there."
"Yes, Commander Sun, if you want to go there, we will send a boat to take you there immediately, and we will never hinder you."
Everyone said something to each other that made the leader named Sun blush, but he also knew that he said the wrong thing, so he could only sit there in embarrassment and endure the ridicule of everyone.
Hu Zongnan glared hard at the leader of his subordinates and blamed him for his rashness, but he, the boss, couldn't turn a blind eye when his subordinates were embarrassed. He pondered for a while before changing the topic and said: "Okay, let's get back to the business. Regarding that
You don’t have to worry too much about Su Rui and his 300 brigade recruiting people everywhere. After all, he only has one brigade, which can only support three or four thousand people to death. How many more can he dig out? Well, if everyone agrees
If so, I will take the lead and collect some military pay and food for him, so that he can be sent away as soon as possible."
When everyone heard what Chief Hu had said, what else could they do? Anyway, it was not a big deal for everyone to just collect some money. The original disagreement was just a matter of losing face, but now Chief Hu has taken the lead.
They had nothing else to say, so they all agreed.
That evening, when Su Rui, who was actively poaching, received 100,000 French currency and 5,000 kilograms of grain from Wang Jingjiu, the commander of the 87th Division, he couldn't help but feel depressed. Could he be a scourge? These guys are like this
Can’t wait to drive yourself away?
Su Rui originally didn't want to pay attention to these people. Anyway, with the order of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, he was no longer under their control. He had the final say when to leave, so why should it be their turn to complain.
But just when Su Rui was about to refuse, he saw Wang Jingjiu's meaningful gaze. He then realized that everything was too much and that if he really broke up with these Central Army officers, he would be in trouble in the national army in the future.
It's really hard to move forward.
"All right!"
Su Rui finally reached out and took the heavy bag of French currency from Wang Jingjiu's hand.
"That's right."
Seeing Su Rui finally taking the cloth bag in his hand, Wang Jingjiu's face finally showed a long-lost smile. He patted Su Rui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Su, we said goodbye in a hurry last time at Guanghua Gate.
We meet again. Do you still remember what I said to you at that time?"
Su Rui also smiled: "Of course I remember, Sir Wang, you said you wanted to treat me to a drink, are you trying to cheat!"
"Hahaha..." Wang Jingjiu laughed, "Don't worry, I, Wang Jingjiu, am not a man of his word. I will pay you back your drink today! Let's go to my division headquarters. I'll treat you."
you drink!"
In this way, Su Rui was pulled into the car by Wang Jingjiu and arrived at the station of the 78th Division. A banquet was immediately opened. Wang Jingjiu also called the leader of the 518th Regiment Luo Zhedong and the division chief of staff Xia Sheng to accompany him.
These people all owed Su Rui favors at Guanghuamen, so there was naturally a lot of excitement when they met. After the banquet started, everyone changed glasses and drank in a lively manner.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Wang Jingjiu patted Su Rui on the shoulder and said, "Brother Su, I know you have suffered some grievances these days, but there is nothing you can do about it. Who said you are not a graduate of Huangpu?"
What? Who told you that you are not a student of the Chairman?
And you are not without any mistakes. Although you have made great contributions, you organized a team and established a number without permission. No commander would agree to such a thing. If Meng Guo (Song Xilian) asked to transfer you, it would be a last resort.
For this reason, I hope you don’t blame him.”
In this era, Su Rui has a general understanding of the opportunities in the army. He also knows that his actions in Nanjing a few days ago were indeed too outrageous. Any military commander in the army would not allow it.
It is also very dangerous for a team that is not under your control to stay by your side.
He smiled bitterly: "Thank you sir for your concern, I understand."
Seeing that Su Rui's face was still not very good, Luo Zhedong who was on the side was afraid that he would have some grudge against him, so he apologized and said: "Brother Su, you have reached the sky in one step now. How can you go from being a major to a major so quickly?"
It's been a long journey, what a blessing. What else are you dissatisfied with? Even if you feel a little wronged, it's worth it."
Su Rui shook his head and sneered: "Sir Wang, Brother Luo, and Chief of Staff Xia, since we have fought the Japanese side by side, we can be regarded as brothers who have squatted in the same trench. There are some things I will say directly, since the Military and Political Department has given
I have the designation of a brigade, so why don't you give me the corresponding weapons and ammunition, food and military pay? Why don't you assign me personnel, let alone a brigade commander, what's the point of being a commander?
"
