The following people also discussed the movements of the Japanese army after the fall of Wuxi. The officers present also put forward their ideas on the possible direction of the Japanese army's advance, but they never gave a more reliable answer than Zhang Tianhai's idea. .
After all, according to Zhang Tianhai's vision, only the Japanese army could solve the problem of how to quickly capture Nanjing.
This meeting with the nature of exchange and learning lasted for about half an hour and ended. By the time Zhang Tianhai returned to the Zhiyi Regiment Headquarters, it was already twelve o'clock at noon, and all the departments had basically entered lunch mode. Lunch at that time was very simple, basically vegetables and rice, and occasionally a meal of meat for dinner. Such a living situation was still a treatment based on sticking to Nanjing.
The bad thing to say is that even if you die, you have to be a dead ghost.
After lunch, the big truck from the Military and Political Department arrived, finally arriving as promised.
Zhang Tianhai asked people from the Logistics Department and the Military Police Company to be responsible for transporting firearms, ammunition, clothing, etc. Afterwards, Chief of Staff Guo Qiliang and Director of the Munitions Logistics Department Zhu Shaohong organized the inventory.
Fifteen trucks from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs came as soon as they arrived. I have to say that this battle was pretty good. They were accompanied by a lieutenant colonel and adjutant from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.
"Hello, Commander Zhang. I am here to deliver equipment on the order of Minister He of the Military and Political Department." After getting off the off-road vehicle, the adjutant walked directly in front of Zhang Tianhai, the only colonel present, and did not forget to give a military salute.
Zhang Tianhai returned the military salute and casually glanced at the adjutant's badge, only to see that it said "Adjutant of the Military and Political Department".
"Adjutant He, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Tianhai was so enthusiastic. Not to mention his identity as Minister He's Adjutant, he should have smiled all over his face just because he was here to do something good like delivering equipment.
I saw that this Adjutant He Zheng was very young. He looked about the same age as Zhang Tianhai. He was quite handsome and had a gentle temperament about him. He said: "Captain Zhang, the military affairs are urgent, so I won't follow you." You’ve gone too far. Take a step to speak!”
"Okay." Zhang Tianhai nodded immediately. Adjutant He said that it was a military emergency, and then he took a step to speak, indicating that the commander probably asked him to help relay the words.
This Adjutant He is young and already working in the Adjutant's Office of the Military and Political Department, and his surname is He. Who knows if he is He Yingqin's He? This Adjutant He is most likely Minister He's nephew. Even if he is not, it is definitely not far away.
Walking to a quiet place in the house, Adjutant He glanced around and found no one before speaking: "This time, a total of 1,600 German-made 1924-style rifles, 14 82mm mortars, and machine tools have been handed over to you. 6 guns, 24 heavy machine guns, 120 light machine guns, 100 Mauser pistols, some ammunition, and two radio stations will also be allocated to your department within these two days. Bedding and equipment will be delivered in the afternoon."
"Adjutant He, please tell Minister He for me that the students are very grateful." Zhang Tianhai really wanted to say this. With so much equipment, to be honest, it was quite a big deal, and it was enough for his whole group. To become a first-class troop, even if he is asked to fight for a brigade, it is not a problem. You know, this is the Republic of China where equipment is extremely scarce...
I saw Adjutant He Zheng saying with a serious face: "Well, I will naturally convey this to you. I asked you to come here because Minister He had a few words to say to you, but he was busy with military affairs, so he ordered I conveyed it."
"Adjutant He just said it doesn't matter. As long as I, Zhang Yulin, can do it, I will definitely do my best." Zhang Tianhai is not a fool. How could he not see that Adjutant He's arrival, coupled with this batch of rich equipment, will definitely This is what Minister He meant, and he must understand the meaning.
"Last time you proposed the combat idea of elite troops in the office of the Military and Political Department. Commander He admired you very much, so he specially allocated the last batch of German weapons and equipment to your ministry. This batch of equipment was originally intended for teaching. For the main regiment, let the teaching corps replenish its supplementary regiment and become a main combat regiment."
The teaching corps is a fully-staffed unit of three brigades and six regiments, and it is a newly adopted German organization. The entire corps has more than 40,000 people. It is not an exaggeration to call it a German weapons army. There are also three new corps in Changde, Hunan. After the training, if they come back from the training, they will be the third brigade and the ninth regiment.
Adjutant He's words were very clear. It was Minister He who said he admired him very much. Generally speaking, can a word of appreciation be exchanged for so many equipment and weapons? Of course it's impossible. It can only mean that Minister He wants to train him, Zhang Tianhai, and wants to see how far Zhang Tianhai can go!
"Thank you to the Chief of Education for thinking so highly of me, Zhang Tianhai. I will definitely learn from the Chief of Education in the future. As long as the Chief of Education has an instruction, I, Zhang Tianhai, will go through fire and water without hesitation." When it is time to show loyalty, we must show loyalty. Why? It doesn't matter what the adjutant is, the most important thing is that Adjutant He is the spokesperson of Minister He, and this is the most important.
He Yingqin and Chiang Kai-shek were close to each other, but during the Xi'an Incident, an indelible rift appeared between the two. During the period when Chiang Kai-shek was detained, He Yingqin commanded 500,000 Central Army troops to advance into Xi'an, and even Hu Zongnan's first The division was already at war with the Northeastern Army. Among the 500,000 Central Army troops, there are also ace troops such as the 87th Division, the 88th Division, and the 36th Division. Even Gui Yongqing, the captain of the teaching corps, flew back from the UK overnight. , led the teaching corps north to Xi'an to accept the command of He Yingqin.
So far, He Yingqin, the number two figure in the Central Army, has almost mastered all the military power of the Central Army. The key is that the commanders and division commanders of the Central Army also listen to He Yingqin's words and attack almost wherever he points.
To put it bluntly, as long as Chiang Kai-shek has his braids, He Yingqin will come to power.
It is said that there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed, especially for a powerful figure like Lao Chiang. This is a thorn in the heart. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek intentionally or unintentionally downplayed He Yingqin's influence in both the government and the public, and the "Eight Great Vajras" who had close contacts with He before began to gradually become alienated.
If He Yingqin hadn't been suppressed intentionally or unintentionally and his influence weakened, how could he be overpowered by Chen Cheng later?
No matter what, Zhang Tianhai had to accept the olive branch that Chief He quietly extended. This was a thigh that was too thick to mend.
It is said that there are people in the court who can do things easily. This sentence is very reasonable. Just like in the Anti-Japanese War, the direct troops can often be replenished immediately after suffering heavy casualties in the battle. The situation is different for the miscellaneous troops. If they are used up, the designation may be revoked. .
Of course, things like revoking the designation were relatively rare in the early days of the War of Resistance. After all, the Japanese army showed its sharpness and the whole country was unanimously engaged in the anti-Japanese and anti-invasion struggle. However, in the middle and late stages of the War of Resistance after the Japanese army showed weakness, such things were rare. It happens from time to time.
"Okay, I will convey these words to Minister He. I also hope that you can be more confident and work hard to resist Japan, so as not to lose Minister He's face." He Zheng said meaningfully.
"Zhang Yulin knows very well what he is doing. I am a soldier. I will not let down the country, nor the people, nor the high expectations of the Chief of Education." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, He Yingqin was the head of education before the ninth class of Huangpu, and Zhang Tianhai graduated from the seventh class of Huangpu. It is understandable to call him the chief of education.
"Okay, since that's good. There are many important matters in the Military and Political Department, so I'll go back first." He Zheng smiled, then turned around and left.
"Adjutant He, wait, I'll see you off." With that said, Zhang Tianhai followed him in stride.
When getting on the car and leaving, I saw He Zheng and Adjutant He smiled at Zhang Tianhai and said: "The first regiment directly under Commander Zhang can be said to be strong and strong. He Zheng would like to wish Commander Zhang a victory on the battlefield in advance."
