Xie Tian took Qin Fen, Chu Yunfei and others back to the old county government office for a meeting. The content of the meeting was troop reorganization and personnel appointments.
The Second Infantry Regiment was split into two and split into the Second Infantry Regiment and the Fourth Infantry Regiment, which were incorporated into the remaining units of the 358th Infantry Regiment and the Security Brigade respectively.
The leader of the Fourth Bu Regiment is Xiong Ganping, the deputy commander of Chu Yunfei, and the deputy leader is Wang Tianfang, the first battalion commander of the Second Bu Regiment.
The artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment and the artillery battalion directly under Zhang Xingsheng's division headquarters were merged and upgraded to the artillery regiment. Zhang Xingsheng served as the regiment commander, and Zhou Jianping, the former commander of the 358th regiment artillery battalion, served as the deputy commander.
Chu Yunfei was appointed as the deputy commander of the PLA Independent Division, and like Qin Fen, served as Xie Tian's deputy.
As for Bai Jiaoren, Xie Tian did not save face for him and reluctantly appointed him as the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion of the Second Infantry Regiment.
There are still two companies of soldiers left, so it would be good for you to be the deputy battalion commander.
Putting Bai Jiaoren in the old army, and still a deputy with a name but no power, and with Ma Dong watching over him, nothing would happen.
Thanks to him, you can stay or go as you please. If you don't want to do it, you can leave. Our People's Liberation Army has no shortage of you.
Xie Tian estimated that he wouldn't be able to continue. The gap was too big. From brigade commander to battalion commander, this hurdle was not something that ordinary people could overcome.
Sure enough, after hearing Xie Tian's appointment, Bai Jiaoren proposed that he would be relieved of his duties and return to his hometown. Xie Tian did not persuade him to stay. He just ordered Tiedan to get a few small yellow croakers and gave them to Bai Jiaoren, shaking hands and saying goodbye.
As for where he goes, Xie Tian doesn't care at all. If we meet him again on the battlefield next time, let each of us accept his destiny.
This incident seems a bit like killing a donkey, but Xie Tian doesn't care what others think. If Bai Jiaoren stays, he will have to arrange for someone to keep an eye on him. This person is not worth it. He wastes energy on this.
The meeting was not long, and Xie Tian announced that it was adjourned. Chu Yunfei looked at Xie Tian and said, "Sir, I want to go to Pingyuan County to see Fang Ligong."
Xie Tian nodded: "It's always necessary to meet. Everyone has their own ambitions. Don't force me. If Brother Ligong is willing to stay, I welcome him. The position of deputy chief of staff belongs to him. If Brother Ligong wants to leave, there is no need to force him. Brother Yunfei will take my place." Let’s hold a banquet to see off my meritorious brother.”
Chu Yunfei smiled bitterly and nodded, turned around and strode away.
He knew that Fang Ligong would never stay. Fang Ligong was a direct relative of an important person in Chongqing. As long as he achieved a decent military exploit, he would probably be transferred back to Chongqing to serve.
In Yangqu County, the army has expanded the strength of another regiment. There is still a running-in process between the new and old troops, so Xie Tian broke up the 358th Regiment and the Security Brigade and mixed them with the old troops. As for the running-in matter, He doesn't need to worry anymore.
What makes Xie Tian happiest is that he got Chu Yunfei, a tiger general. With his help, Xie Tian is even more powerful.
After everything was arranged, Xie Tian turned around to find Pang Yuan. The things Pang Yuan wanted to discuss with him were all major matters, and they were intricate and complicated. He needed to calm down and chat with Pang Yuan slowly, absorbing Pang Yuan's thoughts to supplement his own. At the same time, he also instilled his own thoughts into Pang Yuan, which also needed to be adjusted slowly.
By the way, Chu Yunfei and two guards rushed all the way back to Pingyuan County. It was already midnight when they arrived in Pingyuan County.
Yue Chunsheng, the second battalion commander stationed in Pingyuan County, had been waiting in the city defense after receiving the news that Chu Yunfei had led the 358th Regiment to defect to the People's Liberation Army. At this time, seeing Chu Yunfei rushing back overnight, he hurriedly jogged to Chu Yunfei's car, stood at attention and saluted, nervously Said: "Tanzuo, why did you come back alone?"
Chu Yunfei looked at Yue Chunsheng and asked: "Pingyuan County is the Pingyuan County of the 358th Regiment. Is there anything wrong with me coming back alone?"
Yue Chunsheng said hurriedly: "Regiment leader, that's not what I meant. You...the news about you in Yangqu has been sent back. It is said that Chief of Staff Fang got furious at the regiment headquarters and smashed it up."
Chu Yunfei laughed: "Brother Ligong is right to be angry. Drive to the regiment headquarters."
Yue Chunsheng hurriedly stopped him: "Master, please wait for a moment. I will gather some brothers to accompany you."
Chu Yunfei snorted and waved his hand: "No need, the brother's affair will not happen to me, Chu Yunfei and Brother Ligong. Stand your guard. No matter what happens in the regiment later, you are not allowed to lead others." In the past, that was an order.”
Yue Chunsheng said awkwardly: "But..."
"Nothing but drive."
The car drove all the way to the regiment headquarters. Chu Yunfei opened the door and got out of the car. The sentries standing guard in front of the regiment headquarters were surprised when they saw Chu Yunfei coming back. Some stood at attention and saluted, while others turned and ran into the regiment headquarters.
Chu Yunfei strode into the regiment headquarters as if he hadn't seen it, and walked straight to the main hall where the lights were still on.
The door of the main hall was opened. The sentry who ran in to report saw Chu Yunfei striding in. He shrank his neck in fright and hurriedly retreated. However, he did not dare to go far and hid outside the door to peek his head.
Chu Yunfei walked into the main hall. The main hall was in chaos as if it had been looted. Chu Yunfei only glanced at it and then strode towards Fang Ligong, who was drinking in a corner of the hall and only glanced at him.
Fang Ligong, who was drunk, raised his eyelids and glanced at Chu Yunfei who was approaching. He picked up the wine bottle and poured himself wine. He said casually: "I'm back."
Chu Yunfei sat opposite Fang Ligong. When he saw the empty bowl in front of him, he curled his lips and said, "Brother Ligong, haven't you been waiting for me to come back?"
As he spoke, Chu Yunfei took the wine bottle from Fang Ligong's hand and filled it up for him and himself respectively. He put the wine bottle aside, picked up the wine bowl and raised it to Fang Ligong: "Brother Ligong, you and I are brothers and we are together. The time to chat over wine is limited, I wonder if you and I can have a thorough chat tonight?"
Fang Ligong glanced at Chu Yunfei: "Okay, you tell me and I listen. You and I have always been like this."
Chu Yunfei took a sip of wine with a straight face and said, "Brother Ligong is mocking me for being arbitrary. Okay, I admit that I was a bit bossy in the 358th Regiment."
Fang Ligong stretched out his hand and made a stop motion: "The 358th Regiment is gone. I heard that Brother Yunfei is now the deputy division commander of the Independent Division of the People's Liberation Army. I am here to congratulate Brother Yunfei on his promotion."
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but frown slightly, but it was not because of Fang Ligong's sarcasm.
Xie Tian only appointed him as deputy division commander before he left. Now that Fang Ligong even knew the news, it meant that there were still people around him who tipped off Fang Ligong. This was very bad, very bad.
Chu Yunfei pretended that he didn't think of anything else. He looked directly at Fang Ligong and said, "Brother Ligong, you know the kind of person I am, Mr. Chu. In the face of national justice, high officials and generous salaries cannot impress Mr. Chu."
Fang Ligong laughed: "Brother Yunfei wants to laugh to death because of national justice? National justice, what kind of national justice can a bandit like Xie Baoqing have? If he has national justice, how can he extort money from Chongqing? Brother Yunfei, I think you are blinded by lard. Even though Xie Baoqing is in great glory at this time, he is narrow-minded and short-sighted, and his pattern is still that of bandits. I am afraid Xie Baoqing will stop there."
Chu Yunfei stared at Fang Ligong, exhaled and said, "Brother Ligong, if you view Xie Baoqing like this, I'm afraid you are totally wrong."
Fang Ligong laughed and leaned back, looked directly at Chu Yunfei and said, "Brother, I would like to hear the details."
