Zhou Wen didn’t mean to blame Hao Laodao. Originally, this was my Zhou Wen’s wife, the future mistress of our old Zhou family. That’s right!
Then he laughed and patted Hao Laodao on the shoulder and said: "You understand the rules. When I am away, the security of the factory will be left to you. If anything happens, you must always ask Miss Liu for instructions and report. Do you understand?"
Hao Laodao immediately understood, in fact, it was because Miss Liu asked me to go east but I would never go west; when Miss Liu asked me to catch pigs, I would never chase chickens.
After Zhou Wen finished explaining everything, he walked to Zhou Jinghai and knelt down, and kowtowed to his father three times. Zhou Jinghai looked at his only son lovingly, held back his tears, pulled him up, and sighed softly.
: "My son, just go ahead and hope that you all can come back safely."
Zhou Wen whispered: "I have made my father worry about me again. My son will definitely come back."
After saying that, he nodded slightly to Liu Ruolan. Seeing the reluctance and worry in the beauty's eyes, he said no more. He gave a military salute to everyone, turned around and got into the car, and said to Zhang Xiaoping: "Let's drive."
…
After Zhou Wen returned to Yangqu Camp, he learned that the order from the Peiping Branch of the Military Commission had arrived.
The order has three contents. The first is to order the 35th Army of the Jin Army Fu Zuoyi, which is stationed in Suiyuan, to assemble on the front line in Changping, Hebei before February 20 and be on standby:
The second is to order the Jin Army Model Brigade to be placed under the command of Shang Zhengbu of the 32nd Army, and rush to Shijiazhuang within 15 days after receiving the order to join the 32nd Army heading north;
The third is to establish the Northern Logistics Supply Committee of the Military Commission. The director is Marshal Zhang himself. Marshal Yan is appointed as the deputy director of the committee. It is responsible for collecting grain from Shanxi and Suiyuan and transporting some weapons and ammunition to the Hebei battlefield. At the same time, the Taiyuan Arsenal is ordered to quickly resume the production of weapons and ammunition.
, to meet the unexpected needs of the war situation in the north.
After receiving the order, Marshal Yan immediately rushed to Yangqu Camp, firstly to convey the order, and secondly to mobilize the troops for review before the war.
You must know that Marshal Yan has been dormant in Shanxi for three full years. If he does not take any action, I am afraid that the people will forget this all-powerful figure in the history of the Republic of China and become a marginal warlord living in a corner.
Now that he has finally had the opportunity to regain his glory and earn his reputation again, Marshal Yan must cheer up and strive to get the Jin army to go to the front line to fight the Japanese invaders.
On this occasion, he is also a person who has the courage to take responsibility for the country and the people.
However, the premise of all this is whether the Jin army sent to the front line of Hebei can fight against the Japanese army and whether it can win the war. But don't just go to the battlefield and show off. Then you will not earn fame, but reputation.
Sweep the floor.
The 35th Army is far away in Suiyuan. For the Taiyuan Appeasement Office, it is actually in a semi-independent position. Marshal Yan cannot dictate too much. Moreover, Marshal Yan has confidence in the military management and command capabilities of General Fu Zuoyi, an old subordinate.
Yes, it's hard to say whether they can defeat the Japanese army. At least they won't be defeated at the first touch like the Northeast Army.
But the model brigade was different. It took a lot of effort from the Commander-in-Chief, and it also received training and guidance from Zhou Wen’s Central Party Headquarters Teaching Corps. The Commander-in-Chief had high hopes for it.
The commander-in-chief knows that the key to the victory and honor of this model brigade expedition does not lie in Zhao Changshu, nor does it lie in how well-equipped and trained the model brigade is. The key factor lies in Zhou Wen, who was already on the battlefield in Songhu.
The Central Party Headquarters Teaching Corps has gained numerous honors and experienced combat against Japan.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief had long decided that Zhou Wen would be the one to command the battlefield for this expedition. He came here to announce this order to the entire model brigade.
The time has come to early February. Both China and Japan have mobilized their troops and generals at the junction of Jehol and Jinzhou and stepped up their deployment. The war is about to break out.
At this time, in the headquarters conference room of Yangqu Camp, officers from the mercenary regiment and the model brigade major or above filled the nearly 200-square-meter hall, and Marshal Yan on the front desk was reading out orders.
Finally, when he heard that Marshal Yan appointed Zhou Wen as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, Zhao Changshu rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart: "Of course I know that I have to listen to Awen when I go to the battlefield, but do you always need to announce it in public? I am a brigade commander's face.
Do you want more?"
After announcing the order, the commander looked around again and said loudly: "This trip to Hebei is different from our previous wars. It is a national war and a war of resistance against foreign invaders. The cruelty and intensity of this kind of war will exceed yours by many."
People's understanding, and the people across the country are listening, watching, and caring. The winning or losing of the war is a matter of the country and a matter of high-level command, but the performance on the battlefield is your matter."
"If there is more, I will not say more. I will only tell you all here that you are representing the 30 million people and fellow villagers in Shanxi during this expedition. You are representing our Jin Army, a brand that has stood firm in the north for many years.
, Whoever wants to do things like disobeying orders on the battlefield, escaping before the battle, or being incompetent in combat will be dishonoring the face of my fellow villagers in Shanxi, smashing the name of our Jin Army, and slapping me, Mr. Yan, in the face."
"There is no need for me to personally deal with this nonsense when I come back. From today on, I will authorize Commander-in-Chief Zhou to have the power to deal with the situation on the battlefield. From the brigade commander Chang Shu down, anyone who dares to violate battlefield discipline will be killed on the spot by me.
, there is no need to take the bones back to Shanxi, because such people do not deserve to go home."
Before the commander finished speaking, many of the generals below felt awe in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at Zhou Wen with a little more awe.
You should know that when there is disobedience of orders on the battlefield, generally only officers with a higher military rank have the authority to deal with their subordinates. Officers with lower ranks have no authority to deal with it. They can only deal with it after reporting it to their superiors after investigation and verification. However, officers with a rank above Major General have no authority to deal with it.
At the general level, only with the personal approval of the commander in chief can he have the power to arrest and deal with people.
And this is only a nominal situation. In fact, in the Republic of China army, various relationships are intertwined, and you have to consider whether you are one's confidant. There are very few school-level officers who are subject to battlefield discipline, let alone the rank of general.
.
As a result, there were countless runaway generals, long-legged generals, etc. in the history of the Anti-Japanese War. Only a handful of them were punished, and political factors accounted for most of the reasons.
But this time the commander-in-chief delegated the power to handle battlefield discipline to Zhou Wen, which was a bit serious. You must know that Zhou Wen and them do not belong to the same system, and Zhou Wen has no friendship with them as classmates or comrades-in-arms.
When you really do something wrong, you just deal with it as they say, and you don't even have anywhere to go to find someone to talk to.
