Zhang Tianhai is a very pure soldier, and to him, Luo Weimin does not look like a soldier. On the contrary, he looks a bit like a businessman and a profiteer.
It has to be said that sometimes, a person's first impression is very important, just like Zhang Tianhai's impression of Luo Weimin at this time, which was very bad.
Although Zhang Tianhai's first impression of Luo Weimin was very unfavorable, Zhang Tianhai did not do such rude behavior as directly ignoring others. He just nodded slightly, completely acting like a superior treating a subordinate.
Of course, this is a direct manifestation of Zhang Tianhai's dissatisfaction. For the Pingjiang Security Regiment, which only has two battalions, the Ninth War Zone Guard Force is simply a behemoth. The infantry battalions alone have reached as many as fourteen battalions, including Three are still reinforced battalions. If spread out, they can be counted as fifteen infantry battalions.
Fifteen infantry battalions plus a cavalry battalion, an artillery battalion, an engineer battalion, plus the special company directly under the First Guard Regiment, this number is not a small number.
Although Luo Weimin was familiar with the name of the theater guard force, he could be considered familiar with it. Therefore, he still respected the main commander of such a force - after all, the other party really wanted to destroy him. Not to mention it's just a waste of time, but that's pretty much it. You need to be self-aware as a human being...
Under the guidance of this thought, Luo Weimin acted more respectfully. He immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, sir, please let me lead your troops to the Pingjiang County Combat Command!"
"Okay! Then please ask Captain Luo to lead the way!" Zhang Tianhai nodded expressionlessly, but the reins in his hands tightened.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Tianhai never dismounted, nor did the lieutenants around him. In addition, the murderous aura in them made Luo Weimin deeply uneasy - according to his decades of experience in the world, this was not a good decision. It's a sign that when the leader of the Sichuan Army sees him, he will at least shake hands with him to gain the support of the Pingjiang Security Group. Judging from the current situation, it seems that these direct members of the Central Army will not consider him as a leader at all. The people take it seriously...
The more this happens, Luo Weimin feels that he must maintain a respectful attitude. Not to mention that it is a wartime situation. He will be shot if he is not careful. Even if his security team is pulled out, it is definitely not the case. The murderous aura of the opponents of the cavalry battalion in front of them was too strong, and it was beyond the reach of the third-rate civilian force of the Pingjiang Security Regiment.
Murderous aura and will are both internal manifestations of an army's combat effectiveness, and they are also external manifestations that confuse others and the enemy.
Although Luo Weimin was not a professional soldier, his decades of experience in the arena would not be in vain. Therefore, in this case, he chose to be a good person and cherish life.
Not long after, Luo Weimin took Zhang Tianhai and the cavalry battalion to the city defense headquarters in Pingjiang.
When Zhang Tianhai saw the lackluster soldiers stationed at the door, he frowned slightly, and at the same time secretly made up his mind - at the moment of the war, as the temporary commander who controls all armed forces in Pingjiang, Zhang Tianhai felt that he had to think of ways to enhance the combat effectiveness of these troops.
Although the Pingjiang Security Regiment only has two battalions, and most of these two battalions are underpaid, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. What's more, these two battalions are local troops in Pingjiang. If we can make good use of these people, they may not be able to play an important role in fighting guerrillas against these little Japanese.
In Zhang Tianhai's limited memory, during the Battle of Changsha, the Japanese army would have a partial division starting from the southern part of Jiangxi and inserting itself directly into the outskirts of Changsha to cope with the main force of the Sixth Division coming down from Yueyang, so as to encircle and annihilate the 15th National Army. The stated purpose of the main force of the group army.
While Zhang Tianhai was still thinking about the direction of the war, the command and war room of the City Defense Headquarters arrived.
Although the Pingjiang City Defense Headquarters looks good from the outside, in fact only Luo Weimin's office and lobby are more luxuriously decorated, while other places can be described as "horrible".
Looking at the dusty surroundings, Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly. In his opinion, this place can be kept very clean, but it always gives people a sloppy feeling - the conditions don't have to be sufficient. , but you must be diligent in caring for it. Laziness and lack of material are two different things.
"Sir Zhang, please take a seat." Luo Weimin greeted warmly, but his expression was very embarrassed because he also discovered this problem.
Zhang Tianhai must have great respect for capable people and generals, but he will naturally not be too polite to Luo Weimin, who is a good person but never makes progress, and does not even have the awareness of danger in times of peace.
Zhang Tianhai looked at Luo Weimin with a sullen face and said, "Commander Luo, this stool has not been wiped for several years, right? It's not good to use the commander's butt as a rag. Behavior!”
Zhang Tianhai's words could be said to contain murderous intent, and Luo Weimin was suddenly startled into a cold sweat: Chief Zhang's words contained murderous intent...
"Quick, adjutant! Order someone to clean this place immediately! All hygiene must be done!
Luo Weimin immediately said to the adjutant beside him. After all, if the same mistake is made again, it will probably be even more difficult for Chief Zhang to deal with...
"Yes! Captain!" the adjutant responded, and quickly found someone to clean up.
After the adjutant left, Zhang Tianhai said to Luo Weimin: "Commander Luo, our theater security force will temporarily requisition your city defense headquarters for a while. You must order people to clean up the environmental sanitation here. At the same time, starting tomorrow , I want to ask for the number of your troops. I only give you one day."
After hearing this sentence, Luo Weimin also knew that Chief Zhang was not only difficult to get along with, but also very serious. But the only thing that was acceptable was that Chief Zhang did not give him time to prepare and rectify. Gave him a day.
"Yes! Sir." At this time, Luo Weimin respected Zhang Tianhai from the bottom of his heart. This was not only because Zhang Tianhai was the commander and had the means, but also because of the powerful theater security force behind Zhang Tianhai. He But I have never seen such a light machine gun at once, and it was held by one person. More importantly, these were machine guns captured from the Japanese army!
