Zhang Yong led more than a hundred people into the 55th Army headquarters in a mighty manner.
When you first arrive, of course you have to be careful.
In fact, the radar map showed that there were only eight people in the headquarters.
Six white dots. Two yellow dots. No weapons.
There are two more station signs. There is no operator.
eccentric.
At this time, there is no operator on duty?
In addition, there are actually two yellow dots? There are actually members of the Red Party in the military headquarters of the 55th Army?
I can't help but think of the 67th Army Headquarters, which also has two yellow dots.
Zhang Yong has always pretended not to know.
This is certainly the case now.
Hearing the noise outside, someone came out from the military headquarters.
Seeing Zhang Yong, he was slightly startled. He hesitated to speak. Obviously, he knew Zhang Yong, but he did not expect Zhang Yong to appear here.
"Mr. Commissioner..." After a moment of hesitation, the other party came up to say hello.
"Yeah." Zhang Yong nodded.
He silently observed the other party. His military rank, colonel, seemed a bit vicissitudes of life.
There was a very rough scar on his neck, like a knife wound.
It's amazing. He was stabbed in the neck and still survived. It must have been a result of fighting on the battlefield.
I think of Yu Xuezhong's words. It seems that there are indeed old backbones in the 55th Army.
The scars on their bodies are all from fighting with the Japanese invaders. They are the marks of heroes.
It would be really heartbreaking if the 55th Army was dealt with rashly.
However, this is not the key.
The key is that the other party is still a member of the Red Party.
Apparently, he is currently the highest-ranking officer in the 55th Army?
Yellow dot…
Red Party...
Now in control of the 55th Army...
"Your Excellency, Reporting Commissioner, I have a humble position as Tuoba Leihuo, and I am the deputy chief of staff of the 55th Army."
"Where are the others?"
"Report. The others followed Commander Cao and left."
"How many people left?"
"Report. About 2,900 people."
"How many?"
Zhang Yong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Cao Fulin actually took away three thousand people?
Did this guy take away all his team members?
No wonder Sun Lianzhong would accept him. It turned out that there were nearly three thousand people!
There is no doubt that those taken away by Cao Fulin were definitely his confidants. They were related to him.
On the other hand, the rest now has nothing to do with Cao Fulin.
That is, the one who was abandoned by Cao Fulin.
Very good. What he left behind was what he needed.
On the way, I was still thinking about how to get rid of Cao Fulin's confidants.
A pot of rat droppings spoils a pot of porridge.
If Cao Fulin's remnants are not cleared away, the 55th Army will definitely still be useless!
Unexpectedly, Cao Fulin took them all away by himself.
Good. Very good. I picked up a treasure.
Without the influence left by Cao Fulin, he could have transformed the 55th Army into the main force.
The key is people, not weapons.
Of course, there cannot be too much shortage of weapons.
"Your Majesty, Reporting Commissioner, currently, there are still 13,700 people in the 55th Army."
"prepared by?"
"Two brigades, six regiments. There is no division level. We are currently short of one brigade commander and three regiment commanders."
"They all ran away with Cao Fulin?"
"Yes."
"Which brigade is short of a brigade commander?"
"The report is from the 165th Brigade. The brigade commander and three regiment commanders have all run away."
"Okay. I now officially appoint you as the deputy commander of the 55th Army and the commander of the 165th Brigade. You will appoint the three regiment commanders yourself."
"I?"
Tuoba Leihuo was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong actually made such an arrangement.
Directly appointed himself as the commander of the 165th Brigade? Also granted the appointment and dismissal rights of three regiment commanders?
He even serves as the deputy commander of the 55th Army?
Isn't this...
"Bring paper and pen."
"yes."
Tuoba Leihuo made hurried arrangements.
Soon, Zhang Yong unfolded the letter and wrote the letter of appointment directly.
No joke. It's written in black and white.
Although it is not in a formal format, it does have Zhang Yong's signature.
Chiang Kai-shek's handwriting was not formal either! But it was above any orders. Of course Zhang Yong also followed his example.
As long as he, Zhang Yong, has not fallen out with Chiang Kai-shek, the letter of appointment written by him is absolutely valid and will be recognized by others.
Otherwise, the other party will be Zhang Yong's enemy.
By the way, of course he was also Chiang Kai-shek's enemy.
Will the Fifth War Zone admit it?
Of course.
Can't get it.
Mo Dehong became the army commander.
Zhang Yong controls a brigade commander himself.
This is normal operation. It is a courtesy exchange and an exchange of benefits.
"Mr. Commissioner..."
Tuoba Leihuo wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhang Yong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything.
Want to refuse?
No way. Your superiors will criticize you.
You are given such a good opportunity to control a brigade, why don't you seize it?
The deputy chief of staff has no power. He is just a follower.
Similarly, if the deputy commander wants to have real power, he must also serve as the division commander. But the 55th Army does not have a division-level establishment...
Why is there no division-level establishment?
There are too few people.
There are just over 10,000 people.
If we want to increase the division-level establishment, it will probably be at least 20,000 people.
Letting Tuoba Leihuo occupy the position of deputy commander also ensures that he can concurrently serve as the division commander of a division in the future when the army expands. He will have real power.
Soon, the letter of appointment was written. There were two copies. The contents were different.
One is to appoint Tuoba Leihuo as the deputy commander of the 55th Army.
One is to appoint Tuoba Leihuo as the commander of the 165th Brigade.
Letters of appointment are not part-time. They are all separate, even if they are handwritten.
"Hey, this is for you."
Zhang Yong pushed the handwritten letter of appointment in front of Tuoba Leihuo.
Tuoba Leihuo hesitated for a moment, and finally took it carefully.
Then, stand at attention and salute.
"The humble position will never let you down the cultivation of the Commissioner."
"sit."
"yes."
"You have a very heavy task."
"yes."
"Before Mo Dehong arrives, you need to shoulder all the work of the 55th Army."
"yes."
"You have to do three things. First, organize the establishment. Replenish the lack of officers. Promote all from within. Second, expand the team. Expand as much as you can. Third, prepare for battle."
"this……"
Tuoba Leihuo's face looked troubled. He wanted to speak but stopped.
The people around him also looked at each other in confusion. They seemed to have something to hide.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say."
"Commissioner, Commander Cao..."
"Cao Fulin is no longer the commander of the army."
"Yes. When Cao Fulin left, he took away all the money of our army. At present, the food and salary arrears are four months in arrears..."
"All the money was taken away?"
"Yes."
"I see."
Zhang Yong secretly gritted his teeth.
Ma De, this Cao Fulin is dead.
You just took the person away, but you actually took away all the money?
Ah ah ah, haven’t you heard that money is my life? Now I have to pay out of my own pocket for food and salary first?
Don't let me catch you.
Otherwise, the oil will be squeezed out of the bones!
His expression remained motionless.
If nothing happens.
"How much military expenditure do you need? In French currency."
"About three hundred thousand..."
"good."
Zhang Yong immediately arranged for someone to deliver it.
You can't just take it out yourself. It's too eye-catching.
"in addition……"
"If you have anything to say, say it all."
"Reporting to the commissioner, when Cao Fulin left, he also took most of the ammunition reserves with him."
"He even took away the ammunition?"
"Yes."
"Made!"
Zhang Yong scolded his mother again.
No wonder Sun Lianzhong was willing to take Cao Fulin in.
Dare to love has great benefits! Not only will you get money, but you will also get ammunition!
These days, ammunition is actually money.
If Zhang Yong wants to sell it, he can actually sell it for a big price.
But the system prohibits it. You cannot sell weapons and ammunition for money. Otherwise, certain abilities will continue to be weakened.
Quiet.
silence.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
"Report!"
A cavalry lieutenant came in to report.
It was said that a team of mules and horses had arrived to deliver goods to the Commissioner.
A group of people went to the camp gate to greet him.
At this time, many officers and soldiers had gathered around the camp.
Everyone seemed to be in ragged clothes and low in energy. Many people were still yawning.
Yes, this is the actual situation of the 55th Army.
Don't call it a war, I feel like someone might die even if I run 1,000 meters.
If they continue to behave like this, how can they be expected to kill the Japanese invaders? Being killed is just as bad.
Ten such national troops may not be able to kill a single Japanese invader.
Those Japanese invaders were really elite!
Especially the Fifth Division, which swept across North China, has extremely high morale.
Three Japanese invaders, back to back, fighting hand-to-hand, might be able to defeat a platoon of 30 Chinese soldiers.
It's over...
I might not be able to make the trip.
In ten days at most, a bloody fight will begin.
When the time comes, the Japanese invaders will be trapped and still fighting, and their combat effectiveness may increase sharply. They will not be able to surrender without thunderbolt means.
It's a joke to expect these sick men in front of you to go into battle...
When I was feeling depressed, I suddenly noticed something unusual out of the corner of my eye.
On the other side of the military camp, the national army was conducting exercises. Team by team, they were very neat and energetic.
Confuse……
Is this Yuanyang Hotpot?
Why is the polarization so serious? They are not from the same military.
"Over there is..."
"Report. That's from the 163rd Brigade."
"how……"
"I focused all my resources on the 163rd Brigade to ensure they could fight."
"I see."
Zhang Yong understood. There are still motivated people in this 55th Army.
If you want to mess it up, just lie down flat. Anyway, the responsibility is Cao Fulin's and it has nothing to do with them.
But they didn't.
Instead, all remaining resources were concentrated in the 163rd Brigade.
Train normally and operate normally to ensure that you can fight.
very good.
As long as you are motivated, that's fine.
Cao Fulin took the initiative to get out, which just gave the 55th Army a new look.
Perhaps, after paying and replenishing ammunition, the 55th Army can really play a role in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese invaders.
Go to the dock.
The transport ship has arrived.
Some weapons and a large amount of ammunition were sent.
Of course, there is also legal currency. Exactly five hundred thousand.
It’s better to send the money first.
It's useless to say anything right now. Giving money is the way to go.
Ask someone to bring down bundles of legal currency. They are all small denominations and all are 1 yuan. There are many bundles.
Open the package and pour out the legal currency inside.
Deliberately. Do it for others to see.
"ah……"
"ah……"
Sure enough, there were cheers of surprise.
It is more useful than any rhetoric.
"Payment is due!"
"Payment is due!"
The officers and soldiers rushed to tell each other.
In an instant, everyone's spirits rose.
Even those guys who looked sickly suddenly became energetic and fierce.
Zhang Yong:……
Not bad. Really.
Very good. Invincible!
If all national troops could be paid on time, their combat effectiveness would definitely double.
"Sir Commissioner..." Tuoba Leihuo was grateful.
"Let's take a look at the ammunition again!" Zhang Yong said lightly, "See if it's enough."
"Okay." Tuoba Leihuo then went to check.
Then, the whole person gradually became stunned.
Confused, I looked here and there, thinking I had made a mistake.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Yong asked knowingly.
"Commissioner, could there be a mistake? We don't need so much ammunition..." Tuoba Leihuo was worried.
"unnecessary?"
"Yes, our previous ammunition reserve was 300,000 rounds of ammunition..."
"Three hundred thousand rounds?"
"Yes. Each soldier still has about ten rounds on him."
"Too little."
"There are quite a few. They are all equipped like this..."
"We are about to fight a big battle. We need to face a lot of Japanese invaders. Therefore, we need a lot of ammunition."
"But……"
Tuoba Leihuo wanted to speak but stopped.
I want to say that even if you fight a big battle, you don't need that much.
On the ammunition list, there are eight million rounds of ammunition! There are many types of ammunition! There are also thousands of rounds of 60mm mortar shells!
God!
When have you ever been so rich?
In his whole life of fighting, he has never seen so much ammunition!
Especially cannonballs!
It’s crazy!
Previously, the 55th Army's mortar shell reserves were only a few dozen rounds!
And so many grenades!
"Tuoba Thunder Fire!"
"arrive!"
"Now that military expenditures and ammunition have been replenished, the rest is your business."
"yes!"
Tuoba Leihuo stood at attention solemnly.
Suddenly I remembered something and stopped talking.
"explain."
"Your Majesty the Reporting Commissioner, the military expansion you mentioned..."
"It's to replenish troops. It's best to replenish more than 25,000 troops."
"Soldiers do have..."
"Then add more! But they must be able to fight, don't just pretend to be good."
"I can guarantee this."
"Then add it. This is my order. If you need anything, I'll help you."
"yes!"
Tuoba Leihuo was relieved.
He does have some special people.
If he takes the initiative to recruit him, there may be trouble. But Mr. Commissioner...
It's okay.
The Commissioner knows everything.
"I say again, you must be able to fight."
"Commissioner, I will not let you down."
"That's good."
Zhang Yong did not continue to ask who he was.
Don't bother to guess. No matter what. As long as it's capable of fighting, he wants it.
No matter what the past is.
No matter what the future is.
In short, during these eight years, you have made me powerful and famous! You have made the Japanese scream!
You are responsible for the fight!
I am responsible for protecting you from wind and rain!
You can't cover the sky with one hand. But you can still cover the 55th Army.
Done.
Continue to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Leave behind those 55 officers and soldiers who were rescued before.
Tuoba Leihuo likes these people very much and is ready to reuse them. Zhang Yong is naturally an adult beauty.
Farewell.
Leave.
Go back to the Third Army Headquarters.
Yu Xuezhong and Sun Tongxuan were both there, carrying out Chiang Kai-shek's orders in an orderly manner.
Zhang Yong also sat down, drank tea, and then wandered around.
No, to be precise, it is to check the air map. Pay close attention to the development of the war.
The national army is now the calm before the storm!
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
The calmer it is now, the more violent it will be when it breaks out.
