"The commitment that I want to make is very simple. First, equipment and ammunition should be distributed on time and in full. We can't let brothers carry fire sticks into the battlefield, right? Second, I will complete the mission without violating the general principles, but we must To recruit nearly 3,000 officers and soldiers in just three days, conventional methods will definitely not work. I just ask Chief He not to shoot me if I make a mistake. I want Chief He to agree to these two requests that are not too much. , I can definitely complete the task assigned by the superior within three days. If I can't complete the task, the superior can directly send the inferior to the military court for military punishment!" Zhang Tianhai did not hesitate and stated his conditions directly, and he was confident In a full state, this is the best time to mention the conditions. If we don't mention it, there will be no such store after passing this village.
Well, that’s right, give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.
He Yingqin thought about it and agreed to Zhang Tianhai's request. He considered it from two aspects: first, out of consideration for talent training. If Zhang Tianhai can complete the task as he promised, it will prove that Zhang Tianhai is indeed a talent, and it is not a waste to build a relatively well-equipped army for him to command; secondly, it is also out of consideration of the overall situation of the battlefield. Now we have just finished the Battle of Songhu, and now various forces in Nanjing The troops are also in a state of shortage of men. It is when soldiers are needed. It is a good idea to get a reinforcement regiment. Anyway, it is temporarily under the command of Song Xilian. It is also a good idea to temporarily strengthen the 36th Division that suffered heavy casualties. choose.
"Okay, I agree to your request. But I, He, have said ugly things before. If you can't even complete this task, then don't be the leader." He Yingqin's expression was very serious, without any trace of it. There's a hint of joking mixed in.
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted.
"Well, I hope you can live up to the expectations of the party and the country. Go, go to the temporary office of the Quanxu Hall on the first floor now to get another set of military uniforms, and your colonel's lapel badge." He Yingqin handed Zhang Tianhai a folder packed in He issued a letter of appointment, and then with a wave of his hand, he issued an eviction order.
"Yes!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left.
When he walked out of Chief He's office, Zhang Tianhai's back was already wet. Even after being appointed as regimental commander, he was just a small colonel. It was really a bit embarrassing to ask such a condition in front of the dignified first-level general of the National Revolutionary Army. He was so bold, even he felt so.
Thinking about how to recruit soldiers, Zhang Tianhai had already thought about how to recruit soldiers before coming to the Ministry of Military Affairs. The reason why he specifically wanted to ask Minister He for some conditions was because he needed a life-saving charm. At this time, the problem of recruiting soldiers can only be solved in special times.
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Tianhai took his letter of appointment to get his military uniform and collar badge. He understood that Minister He specifically asked him to get a new set of military uniforms, which meant that this regiment was very important to the war zone commander's department. Although a group is newly established, you must create a new look.
New clothes, new look. Indeed, the meaning is profound.
After receiving a new military uniform and a new collar badge, the staff at the temporary office of the Quanxu Hall also gave him a new officer's ID card. When he opened the brand-new officer's ID card, the unit number read "The First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone." ”, and the position column was written with the words “Regiment Commander” in traditional Chinese, and the rank column was written with “Colonel”.
Holding this brand-new military officer's certificate, at this moment, in addition to the joy of being promoted, what emerged in Zhang Tianhai's heart was more responsibility. From this moment on, he was no longer the man who only shouldered the lives of more than 600 officers and soldiers. The major battalion commander, he is now the commander of a strengthened regiment, the colonel commander who holds the lives of nearly three thousand brothers in his hands!
After walking out of the Quanxu Hall office, Zhang Tianhai took off the old collar badge, hung the new collar badge on his collar, and then strode to the entrance of the military and administrative department. After all, it seemed a bit ungentlemanly to have a beautiful lady wait like this... …Well, even though he’s not a gentleman…
After walking out of the door, Zheng Man was already waiting beside Zhang Tianhai's car. Under the dim light of the street lights, her military uniform looked particularly heroic.
"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Zheng, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for two months, but you have changed a lot. From a charming female reporter to a heroic female officer." This time Zhang Tianhai didn't. When Zheng Man spoke first, he said hello directly to the point.
"You're not bad either. You've become the deputy commander of the lieutenant colonel so soon..." Zheng Man said with a smile. Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly discovered that Zhang Tianhai's collar badge no longer had the rank of lieutenant colonel with two bars and two stars. Instead, the rank of colonel has two bars and three stars.
Before Zheng Man could exclaim, Zhang Tianhai quickly answered: "Let's go, let's find a place to sit and chat. Do you know of any place in Nanjing where we can sit and chat and have a cup of tea?"
Zheng Man also knew what Zhang Tianhai meant. This was the gate of the Military and Political Department, and it was indeed not a good place to chat and reminisce. So she nodded and said, "Then let's go to Fuli Winery. It's like a place in Nanjing." There’s only one bar left that hasn’t closed and been evacuated.”
Zhang Tianhai nodded and agreed. He didn't know the roads in Nanjing, so he simply let Zheng Man sit in the passenger seat and asked her to show the way.
"Deputy commander, why don't we go back to the battalion headquarters now?" Liu Houming still didn't have the consciousness to be a leader's driver, so he didn't know what he shouldn't ask and didn't ask.
"Shut your mouth and don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Zhang Tianhai glared at Liu Houming, the temporary guest driver, who immediately shut up and remained silent.
The car started and drove slowly towards the city of Nanjing. There were not too many dilapidated houses along the way, but there were only one or two houses that had been blown up by Japanese bombers.
Along the way, there were many soldiers and police patrolling. After all, this was a wartime situation. We had to prevent things that shouldn't happen, such as traitors who were bribed by the Japanese army and waited for opportunities to cause chaos in the city. After all, these things happened on the Songhu battlefield. It has already happened in , and it cannot happen again in Nanjing.
The car's headlights are still relatively dim. After all, the level of automobile technology in this era is far from the modern advanced level. The light of the headlights can only be said to be able to see the road, and even the car's suspension is very hard.
