"This is to commend Zhou Wen, the captain of the transportation team of the former enemy headquarters of the East Route Army of the National Army, for his meritorious service in leading the team to kill the enemy, and for his special promotion to the wartime rank of Major of the National Army;
Gao Xiaoshante, deputy captain of the transportation team, was promoted to the wartime rank of captain of the National Army;
Transport team instructor Li Jinte was promoted to the wartime rank of National Army lieutenant..."
This was three days after the ambush at the station, at the East Route Army headquarters located next to Liuhe Railway Station.
The new commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, Chief Qian, read out the command's commendation order and formally commended the transport team for their great contribution.
After Zhou Wen's many efforts and persistence, the transportation team was finally separated from the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the East Route Army headquarters. The new commander-in-chief of the East Route Army is an old acquaintance, Chief Qian.
In the spirit of buying horse bones with a lot of money, the headquarters generously rewarded the transportation team. Except for the three giants, all team leaders were second lieutenants, and all team members, including the newly joined big-headed soldier Tieniu, were all sergeants. In addition, a reward of three thousand yuan will be given.
After Chief Qian read out the commendation order, he personally put on the collar badges for Zhou Wen and others, and Zhou Wen and others put on the collar badges for their brothers.
After the ceremony, Zhou Wen dismissed the team and followed Chief Qian into the headquarters compound.
If Liu Ruoshui regarded Zhou Wen as his savior, then Chief Qian regarded Zhou Wen as his lucky star.
Chief Qian was previously the commander-in-chief of the Southern Front, but Chief He, the commander of the Third Army, the main force on the southern front, was a domineering person. His self-control won the principal's trust, and his men were strong, so he did not accept the commander-in-chief sent by the headquarters. .
Chief Qian was basically a polished commander on the southern front, and his life was very miserable. He applied to the principal for external transfer many times.
After Zhou Wen and others made great achievements in rescuing him, they mentioned on different occasions that they came to seek refuge with Chief Qian. The principal was already hesitant, but now he was determined to transfer Chief Qian to the Eastern Front.
In fact, on the night when the Northwest Army cavalry attacked, the principal was equally desperate. He even held the pistol in his hand, not to kill the enemy, but to prepare to kill himself when the enemy rushed in. It was impossible for him to be a prisoner with his status. of.
It can be seen that when Zhou Wen and the others beat the enemy away, he was very happy and scared in his heart. Ultimately, Zhou Wen came to see Chief Qian, so Chief Qian became the principal's lucky general.
With two lucky generals, Zhou Wen and Chief Qian, on the front line, wouldn't it be safe to stay at the headquarters at Guide Station? The principal is also afraid of having such a dangerous experience again.
Zhou Wen didn't understand these twists and turns, but Chief Qian knew it very well, so he felt happy when he looked at Zhou Wen now.
After entering the headquarters, Chief Qian said: "*** Zhou, you have given me so much face by coming all the way to join me. Even Gu Mosan and Zhang Wenbai are jealous. So let's not be too outsider.
Externally, I am your boss, internally, I am your brother. I will not assign tasks to your transportation team. I will just protect the headquarters at ordinary times. Equipment and logistics will be given priority.
Regarding the surrender of the third regiment, the principal has agreed. I will send a message today to inform the East Route Army that anyone who supplements the third regiment will be sent to the headquarters immediately. what do you think? "
Zhou Wen quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Chief Qian. At the same time, I also promise Chief Qian that I will protect the safety of the command headquarters."
"Oh, don't be so outspoken. Brother, I haven't even thanked you for saving my life. Why are you thanking me all the time? It's just a small effort.
In addition, I have seen your fighting power, but as the old saying goes: if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
It just so happens that a lot of new equipment has arrived from the headquarters. You go and collect all the equipment you need. I will distribute it after that. "
Zhou Wen sighed in his heart, this is the advantage of the upper-level route, there are people in the court who are easy to be officials!
After leaving the headquarters, Zhou Wen told his brothers the good news that Chief Qian was looking for a replacement for the Third Regiment. Everyone couldn't help but cheer softly.
Zhou Wen then waved the approval document in his hand and said: "Good things come in pairs today. It's time to replenish our equipment. Let's go and see what good things we have. We'll talk about it after we get it."
Zhou Wen took his brothers, all with their bare hands, to the warehouse of Liuhe Railway Station.
The logistics director was a major. After receiving the call from Chief Qian himself, he knew what his attitude should be. We had been waiting at the entrance of the warehouse early, and all other troops who came to receive equipment supplies would wait first.
As soon as they saw Zhou Wen and the others, they greeted them from a distance: "Oh, why did Captain Zhou come here in person? Ai Xiqi, the junior officer, and the logistics director of the headquarters, Captain Xiao Zhou and Chief Qian were there when they first arrived. I’ve seen you at the station.”
This name sounds novel to Zhou Wen. Do you like novelties? Is there a brother named Ai Weiwei in the family?
At the moment, he suppressed his threatening mentality and stepped forward to hold Aixiqi's hand and say hello. After some pleasantries, Ai Xiqi said with a smile: "Captain Zhou, should you go to the warehouse first or read the list first? The list is also recorded in detail. The subordinate suggested that we go to my office first, and we can read the list while drinking tea. , I can also introduce Brother Xiao Zhou to you."
Zhou Wen knew that this was Ai Xiqi's good intention, so he readily agreed. Only Gao Xiaoshan and Miaohua came to the logistics director's office.
Zhou Wen took the thick list handed over by Ai Xiqi and looked through it carefully.
The logistics management of the National Army is much stricter and more formal than that of the warlord army. Each branch of the army and the official ranks at all levels are registered separately.
The rifle equipment is mainly made in Hanyang, and some of them are indistinguishable. He didn't see his favorite Ying Qiqi.
Pistols issued to officers below the school level are all rifles. Officers at the school level have rifles, revolvers, big-eye guns and a small amount of Browning M1900 pistols, which are also commonly known as gun brand guns among the people. There are only three types of pistols for general officers, the big-eye pistol, the gun brand pistol and the Browning M1903 pistol, commonly known as the horse brand pistol.
Browning's M1903 Continental whisk is a favorite among later generations of collectors. It is light and safe, and is very suitable for women to use. Zhou Wen also wants to get one for Hongxiu to use in the future, but he doesn't need it now. What he needs is the most powerful big-eye stick.
Looking at the machine guns again, there is no need for heavy machine guns. Just look over. There are so many types of light machine guns that Zhou Wen can't help but have a headache for the logistical supplies of the National Army.
Swiss Kirari light machine gun, Czech ZB26, Danish Madsen machine gun, French Hotchkiss light machine gun, Lao Maozi DP light machine gun, and the famous Lewis light machine gun of World War I, as well as the Czech type made in Shanghai and the Czech type made in Jinling Mode.
It’s really a Wanguo brand light machine gun, Zhou Wen complained.
Looking at submachine guns, the only ones are Hua Guan and Jin Zao Thomson.
