Managing the Sichuan Army is definitely a hard job, and you can even figure it out with your buttocks.
Let’s not talk about the issue of faction or not. The differential treatment between the Central Army and the local army has always been obvious. As a direct descendant of the Central Army, the equipment of the Ninth War Zone Guard Force is not generally good, and the food is also much better. .
It is said that one does not suffer from scarcity, but suffers from inequality.
For Zhang Tianhai and Li Yinglun, this is a huge challenge.
No matter what, Commander Xue Yue has put the Sichuan Army brigade on their heads, and they must accept the current result.
When they walked out of Chief Xue's office, both Zhang Tianhai and Li Yinglun had helpless expressions on their faces. When they looked at each other, they could see each other's helplessness.
There is no doubt that the Sichuan Army is an anti-Japanese force, but if it is not handled properly, let alone the war of resistance, if a mutiny is triggered, it will definitely cause great losses to the armed forces of the anti-Japanese army.
"Commander, tell me, how should we handle this matter?" Li Yinglun looked at Zhang Tianhai.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a moment, then sighed, and finally could only shrug helplessly and said: "What else can I do? My chief of general staff can only bite the bullet."
After Li Yinglun heard this, it seemed that this was all he could do.
After the two returned, they immediately held a core meeting. The specific content was to convey Commander Xue's decision and how to manage the Sichuan Army Brigade.
The conference room was as smoke-filled as ever, a scene that only happens when something particularly difficult happens.
Obviously, temporarily taking over the Sichuan Army Brigade is a very, very difficult matter.
"Two brothers, regarding this matter, I personally think that we should adapt to the situation when the time comes! First of all, we must not overly stimulate them. The brothers in the local army are quite wary of our Central Army, although our troops have fought quite a lot. We have won many battles, but our weapons and equipment are better than those of our Sichuan brothers in all aspects. According to the scale, our troops are already equivalent to a Class A division, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. If we rashly provoke them, if a mutiny is provoked, the Central Committee will Let’s see whoever cuts our heads off.” After saying that, Zhou Fangjie made a beheading motion.
Obviously, if this matter is not handled well, the consequences will be serious.
"On the way back, Brother Yinglun and I also talked about this. I think our troops can head directly to Pingjiang County tomorrow, but we must also make corresponding preparations. After understanding the situation, we will discuss how to improve the military discipline of the unit. ." Zhang Tianhai said seriously.
"I agree with the commander-in-chief, but I suggest that it is best for our troops to have the First Guard Regiment as the main force, and coordinate with the General Headquarters to station in Pingjiang County first. The Second Guard Regiment and the Third Guard Regiment will coordinate with the troops. The logistics troops will arrive later." Li Yinglun suggested.
"The First Guard Regiment and the General Headquarters are stationed first? Isn't that bad? Why does it sound like they are trying to suppress a rebellion?" Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly.
"No, no, no, that's absolutely not the case." Li Yinglun shook his head and continued: "Our next move is actually to show the strength of our army. We must use strict military discipline to make the brigade commander of the Sichuan Army aware After our troops stationed here, it will be a new beginning, and I also told him from the side to restrain his men, it is best not to let us catch anything."
After hearing this, Zhang Tianhai finally nodded and said, "Then let's do it!"
"Okay, Commander-in-Chief." Li Yinglun nodded, "I will go back and sort out a specific plan and officially launch it tomorrow morning."
"Go! It's settled." Zhang Tianhai stood up. For him, this matter should not be done by him, the commander-in-chief.
"By the way, Lao Zhang, I have another question to ask. When the time comes, among the three of us, who will be responsible for commanding the aftermath force?" Zhou Fangjie asked.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a moment and said: "Let's do this! Between the three of us, you will be in charge of the aftermath force! Brother Yinglun and I will go to Pingjiang County first."
"Yes!" Li Yinglun and Zhou Fangjie responded at the same time.
…
Two days later, Pingjiang County.
Pingjiang County, now part of YY City, HUN Province, was under the jurisdiction of the Changsha Administrative District during the Republic of China. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was listed as the first administrative inspection district of Changsha. It is located in the northeast of HUN Province and the upper reaches of the Miluo River. Dangerous.
Originally, Zhang Tianhai and others wanted to wait for the large army to set off before heading to Pingjiang County. However, Zhang Tianhai privately thought that he would have to arrive in Pingjiang sooner or later anyway, so it was better to set off early to understand the nearby situation - now the Sichuan Army Brigade is just For the time being, they are under their control. These people are not Japanese soldiers or puppet soldiers. They are a group of passionate anti-Japanese men, so Pingjiang is not as scary as they imagined.
At this time, Pingjiang County, although it had experienced several ravages from the Zhijiang-Anhui War and the Northern Expedition, this ancient county was not like many counties that seemed to be developing rapidly, but in fact plummeted - Although this county faced the risk of Japanese troops closing in at any time, it was still full of vitality.
Zhang Tianhai saw all this with his own eyes. As the former enemy commander-in-chief and head of the First Guard Regiment in charge of the overall work of the theater security forces, he felt that he must take the lead in leading his cavalry battalion to Pingjiang County.
In fact, when Zhang Tianhai looked at the ancient city wall full of bullet holes, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "China, which is poor and weak, has suffered too many crimes. The ancients said It’s not bad... when things prosper, the people suffer; when they die, the people suffer."
At this time, the gate of Pingjiang City was already open, and there were people coming and going, as well as the ancient ox carts, and the soldiers at the door were standing lazily. It seemed that all this did not interest them at all.
Zhang Tianhai did not tell anyone that he led the cavalry battalion to Pingjiang County first. He wanted to see the city with his own eyes and see with his own eyes whether there were still so many big smokers among the Sichuan soldiers?
At this time, Zhang Tianhai was riding on the back of his tall horse. He looked very energetic. Even though there was some dust on his body because of the rush, the two stripes and three stars on his collar badge were still strong. Only The name tag on the chest powerfully reads: Zhang Tianhai, former enemy commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater Guard Force and commander of the First Guard Regiment.
