"Tuanzuo, what do you mean, we want to recruit this group of young student soldiers?" Zhou Fangjie frowned and said, obviously, he thought this idea was a bit ridiculous.
Although Zhou Fangjie was once a passionate young student before he was admitted to Whampoa Military Academy, he did not believe that recruiting some student soldiers on this battlefield could make up for the shortage of officers.
Zhou Fangjie knew very well how long it took to go from a student to a qualified officer.
"Well, although this idea sounds a bit ridiculous, it is definitely not impossible." Zhang Tianhai said slowly.
"I'd like to hear the details." Zhou Fangjie nodded and sat down.
"Chief Li has summoned this group of young student troops back. He will definitely not use them as ordinary troops. Not to mention other things, if we perform well this time, we will need more than 20 people like Chief Li. As a person who is generous and good in dealing with others, he will definitely refuse this request, right?" Zhang Tianhai tapped his index finger on the table, already making a decision in his mind.
"No wonder the regiment must do a good job in this image project." Zhou Fangjie suddenly realized that he was afraid of wasting time on tactical training before. He will go to the battlefield in more than ten days. Time does not wait for me...
Zhang Tianhai glared and said with a philistine expression, "Of course, we can't work in vain when we come to the fifth theater. At least they have to help us solve the issue of officer preparation, and our artillery battalion, too." It hasn’t been delivered yet, so if you don’t behave better, how can you have the nerve to talk to the superiors?”
Regarding this point, Zhou Fangjie was really convinced. No wonder he graduated from the seventh class of Huangpu. He became the leader of the regiment at a young age, not to mention being able to fight. He really has a lot of ambitions...
"It all depends on the regiment!" Zhou Fangjie nodded in agreement. He even suspected that the equipment of the first regiment directly under the third theater was obtained by Zhang Tianhai from Minister He... …
But Zhang Tianhai didn't know it yet, but his image in Deputy Captain Zhou's mind had successfully changed from a young and promising young outstanding leader to a young man who made his fortune through deception and abduction.
"Have you had breakfast? If so, please accompany me quickly to review the training results." After saying this, Zhang Tianhai stood up and straightened his military cap.
"We've had breakfast, let's set off now!" Zhou Fangjie also stood up.
In the open space outside the West City Gate, a parade platform has been set up, with flags fluttering, and red flags all over the ground slowly unfolding against the west wind in the blue sky and white sun.
More than 2,500 officers and soldiers from the four main battalions of the Zhiyi Regiment have been assembled in this open space, as well as more than 200 officers and soldiers from the Military Police Company of the Political Training Section.
Looking at these neat queues, Zhang Tianhai nodded and finally looked a bit elite.
With a vertical microphone standing in front of him, Zhang Tianhai said loudly, "Brothers, just rehearse according to the established plan in a moment! We must show the style of our regiment! Let the officers of the Fifth Theater Command Department know that our Third Theater What are the elites directly under the first regiment like!"
"Yes! Sir!!" The officers and soldiers of the Zhiyi Regiment in front of the military parade responded in unison, their voices resounding throughout the sky.
Zhang Tianhai looked at the scene in front of him with great satisfaction, and his self-confidence was already very high. Compared with the more than 300 defeated soldiers when it was first established, the current situation can be said to be completely new. It is not an exaggeration to say that the army is strong.
They are fully armed and the queues are neatly arranged, especially the light and heavy machine guns placed on the ground, coupled with the mortars standing on each door, the visual impact is very shocking.
It's a pity that his artillery battalion is not fully equipped. Otherwise, if he adds eight Japanese-made 38 field guns, the scene will be better, right? Zhang Tianhai thought secretly.
Looking at the time on his watch, Zhou Fangjie suggested, "Regiment leader, if we demonstrate it again now, I'm afraid we won't have enough time. The theater commanders must be on their way already. It's better to let the officers and soldiers take a rest!"
Zhang Tianhai thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
…
About half an hour later, Li Zongren and his party, a total of seven people, arrived on horseback, followed closely by officers and soldiers from a security company.
"Hello, sir!!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted after seeing Li Zongren approaching.
Afterwards, Zhou Fangjie and all the officers and soldiers of the Zhiyi Regiment stood at attention, saluted, and shouted in unison, "Hello, sir!!!"
After hearing this chorus of greetings, Li Zongren nodded with satisfaction and said to Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi beside him, "Chief of Staff, how are you? How do you feel?"
Xu Zuyi thought for a while and said, "At least it looks like this is an elite force, but I don't know how it will be in a battle? I have learned about this Zhang Yulin in advance. He is indeed a strong soldier. If he hadn't been the seventh phase of Huangpu Yes, his qualifications are relatively low. If he had the first-term qualifications of Huangpu, his achievements might not be lower than those of Hu Zongnan."
"Haha, it seems that Chief of Staff Xu also thinks highly of Zhang Tianhai." Li Zongren laughed.
"They say it's better to meet someone than to be famous. It's like a mule or a horse. Just pull him out and you'll know." Chief of Staff Xu smiled, still as calm as ever.
Li Zongren rode up to Zhang Tianhai, then turned over and dismounted, saying, "Very good, Captain Zhang, your move caught me a bit off guard."
"The commander is joking. He holds a humble position and represents the headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third theater. I would like to invite the superiors to review it!" Zhang Tianhai reported very seriously. After all, the military parade should be a ceremonial event. It should be faced with a very serious attitude.
"Okay, very good. Since Commander Zhang is full of confidence, I and the officers of the Chief's Department will go and see it." Li Zongren said with a slight smile, and then led the three officers and three staff of the Chief to the stage. Watched.
The three theater commanders are Xu Zuyi, chief of staff of the fifth theater, Li Pinxian, deputy commander-in-chief of the fifth theater, and Huang Jianping, director of military law of the fifth theater.
Li Zongren knew that the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone was a German-armed reinforcement regiment, and the equipment was definitely not bad. However, when he got to the parade stage, he still couldn't help being surprised. This fucking equipment was what a regiment should have. ? Many troops do not have so many light and heavy machine guns and mortars in one division, let alone one German-made 1924 rifle per man. The combat effectiveness of this unit is no less than that of a brigade!
Wait, they still have Japanese-made machine guns?
Li Zongren admitted that he was a little jealous. Even his Seventh Army did not have such good equipment.
