Chen Liren originally belonged to a certain regiment and a certain battalion of the 160th Division under the 66th Army. This is a Guangdong Army unit. Since the outbreak of the war, the fighting has been quite fierce, and the troops have suffered heavy losses.
Now retreating to the Xicheng defense line, they also shouldered a heavy defensive task. They fought bloody battles with the Japanese elite divisions on the frontal battlefield, causing considerable casualties to the troops.
When Chen Liren returned to the division headquarters, he still caused a slight shock. Because before he came over, Zhu Wen had already revealed some information to the division headquarters.
"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to come back with a great reputation. It's really good, very good!" The teacher looked at Chen Liren with a rich expression. Especially the photos he brought back, these are rare and good things.
In Wen San's materials, Chen Liren's staff role was emphasized, and the cooperation of the Niujiaoshan garrison was also emphasized. This not only gave the 160th Division great face, but also gave them part of the credit. If not for this, Chen Liren would not have received such a grand reception when he returned to his original headquarters.
"Commander, it is the duty of our soldiers to go into battle and kill the enemy. The main credit for annihilating Hayata's brigade this time must go to Wen Youcai's independent battalion. It is already a great kindness for him to let me come back." Chen Liren felt a little bit Blushing, what was written in the information was a bit exaggerated.
"Don't worry, our 160th Division can't do such shameless things. It's our fault that we should be denied credit, not our credit." The division commander heard the meaning of Chen Liren's words and said very forcefully, but he was also a hard-core soldier. style.
Relevant photos and news were reported, which immediately caused an uproar!
How long had passed since the Independence Battalion actually killed another Japanese group? Such a record must be written down in a big way!
The previous Kudo heavy armored brigade was destroyed, and a lot of evidence has disappeared. Although equally festive, I still feel a little lacking in confidence.
This time they even took photos of the Japanese Major Hayata being beheaded, as well as the battlefield environment just after the battle. That is absolutely irrefutable evidence, and no one who reads it would dare to say no.
After all, in those days, there was no such thing as photoshopped photos, let alone staged photos. Everything is a real scene. Wen San's independent camp has thrown another big melon into the air in a very short period of time, and the major media have enjoyed it quite sweetly.
But as soon as this news came out, it put a certain principal in a difficult position. They had just been issued commendations and promotions, and yet they had such a dazzling record. What should they do?
Is it possible to upgrade the military rank and increase the troop establishment? The key is that this force is not under his control now, and there is no sign of returning to the 88th Division.
If this continues, will it be possible to take off your clothes?
"With this guy's military talent, it's hard for him to be a regiment leader. Now the battlefield is tight, and there are few good results. If I don't reward him, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers at the front." The supreme commander walked back and forth. , kept mumbling words.
"Commissioner, such great military exploits must be rewarded. Not only must they be rewarded, but they must also be done in a grand manner. For such an outstanding talent, what if we give him a regimental leader? Not only must we give him a commendation, but we must also give him Send people, weapons and equipment." The senior counselor next to him knew very well what the commissioner was worried about.
"You mean to just mix in the sand, stabilize Wen Youcai first, and then slowly pull him back?" He is such a smart person, and such a method is immediately clear to him.
"Well, the necessary care is still needed. This kid is indeed a rare general. He doesn't want to return to the 88th Division, so let him raise a team. When the team grows, various problems will arise. I If you don’t believe that he can still be self-sufficient, the food rations alone will bring him home.” Gao Shen’s move was indeed quite fatal.
People have been brought to you, and weapons and equipment have also been brought to you. But even if I don’t give you food, it’s very simple to ask for food. Just come here and I’ll give it to you.
As long as this force is brought under his order of operations, other problems will be solved.
What's more, the sand they mixed in will also play a big role. Some officers and soldiers are affected, and it is not impossible to change their ways.
"Okay, let's do it!" The committee member made up his mind.
"I am giving an order to the entire army that Wen Youcai's independent battalion has outstanding military exploits. The officers and men have served their lives well, made significant contributions to our war of resistance, and made unparalleled feats!"
"Wen Youcai's independent battalion is now promoted to an independent regiment. Wen Youcai is promoted to colonel and commander of the regiment, and is awarded the Flying Tiger Banner! All generals under his unit are promoted to one level."
"Order two battalions from the 88th Division to be transferred to the independent regiment under the command, and serve as deputy regimental commanders, obeying Wen Youcai's command. In addition, the entire independent regiment will be rewarded with German-style equipment and 10,000 silver dollars!"
The rewards for commissioning are really generous, and no matter which team sees such rewards, they will be greedy. That is a regimental moral equipment, it smells so good!
When Wen San received the relevant commendation order, he was also stunned.
In the past, the supreme commander was always a fancier, but I didn’t expect that this time I would actually get serious with him. The troops directly upgraded to the independent regiment, without even mentioning the matter of returning to the army or which army they belonged to.
Two battalions of troops were sent at once, which made people even more happy. There are also all the German weapons and equipment for the whole group. Where can I find such good things?
What's more, he was given 10,000 silver dollars, which was really a lot of money and could solve many problems.
"Batalion Commander, two battalions of troops have suddenly arrived over there. There are many more people than us, and a deputy commander has to be sent over..." Lao Wan frowned and said what was in his heart. worries.
Although the order states that everyone who comes here must obey Wen San's command, he is also the deputy captain, and his level is only half a level lower. What's more, he still has two battalions of troops in his hands. If he doesn't listen to you at the critical moment, what will you do?
Wen San was not a fool. After the excitement passed, he immediately came back to his senses.
After thinking for a while, Wen San came up with a solution.
"The troops of these two battalions were directly dispersed and replenished into our troops. Cadres above the company level were gathered and put together to form a teaching battalion, which would be directly led by a deputy commander." Wen Sanzhi came to the bottom of the cauldron and put all the officers sent together. If they had no soldiers, what big trouble could they make?
"What if the deputy commander who comes here doesn't agree? Or what if this training camp doesn't obey the command?" Lao Wan was still worried. It is very troublesome for commanders at all levels of the army to not work together.
"He dares! As soon as the guns are fired, the entire regiment must obey my orders. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be immediately enforced on the battlefield! Zhou Zhengbiao's teaching team has just been upgraded to a battle supervising team. Anyone who dares to disobey orders on the battlefield will be killed directly!" Wen San said One hand is indeed cruel enough.
His troops must use an iron fist and obey the voice of one man.
It won’t work for anyone!
