Chapter 167 Important Decision
Seeing that Zhang Xuewu was embarrassed, He Yingqin smiled and said, "The Chairman originally wanted to give you a medal to reward you, but I refused to do so for you. Dig the corners of friendly troops to avoid these guys staying in Rehe? It's really ridiculous and unreasonable. The honor and martial arts of soldiers should be won directly!"
Zhang Xuewu pointed out ashamedly: "Thanks to Minister He for his care, I always remember my humble position!"
He Yingqin nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are a smart person, but you are often smart people who do things that are scattered. I won't say much about anything else. Just say, you should have a good contact with the Soviet Union in Suiyuan and the Soviet Union. Do you have to know where I understand here and the Chairman at any time? I can also deal with you if you have any questions! Furthermore, although we have reunited with the Soviet Union, our consciousness is different after all. The Russians embezzled the most of my territory and did not fulfill their promises. Originally, they said they would return the Far East. However, after Stalin came to power, they not only did not mention it, but also planned to be more careful when dealing with them. "
He Yingqin paused for a moment and whispered: "There is still a large number of supplies and food in Peiping. It was originally prepared for the 17th Army headquarters, but they will set off to rush to the front line of suppressing bandits in a few days. You can arrange for someone to accept it in the afternoon, get out and transport it back to Rehe as soon as possible, and enter your territory. It will be too late for others to say anything!"
He Yingqin patted Zhang Xuewu on the shoulder intimately and smiled, "You should consider more about what I have to do after I leave, and it is also a way to find your cousin."
Zhang Xuewu also smiled and said, "Don't worry, the ministry must ask for more instructions and report more!"
He Yingqin was actually waiting for Zhang Xuewu's words, nodding with satisfaction and said, "Well! I feel relieved, after all, you are in the limelight now, and there is a danger that trees will be defeated by the wind in the forest. Don't panic when encountering problems, don't be impulsive! Think more!"
Zhang Xuewu, who was very worried about the situation in Rehe, hurried back to Chengde. He originally wanted to give up a special plane to He Yingqin, but He Yingqin said it was more reliable to take the special train. Although it was fast in the sky, he was very nervous. Unless it was a fatal emergency official business, He Yingqin would definitely not take those small planes.
After Zhang Xuewu returned to Chengde, he immediately convened a meeting of officers above the regiment, because the division of the Rehe Corps was not under the jurisdiction of the brigade, but the regiment, and the brigade had infantry commanders and main regiment commanders of each division. Zhang Xuewu's intention was to not want the troops to be distinguished by a multi-layer structure. If the functions were distinguished according to the structure of the corps, army, division, brigade, regiment, and battalion, it can be said that the brigade and regiment level were the most likely to have problems, so Zhang Xuewu used a seemingly reasonable way to reduce unnecessary repeated command institutions, and at the same time, it was also to better control and master the troops.
Zhang Xuewu looked around the venue for a week and knew that he was not in Rehe. They had carried out an unprecedented large-scale poaching activity. The result of the activity was that the Jin army, the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, and the Central Army almost fled Rehe like a fire, because they were afraid that if they stayed for a long time, the backbone and elite of their troops would be dug up by Zhang Xuewu's subordinates.
The expressions of Huang Tao, director of the Legion Political Department headed by Deputy Commander Hao Wenbin, and Li Xinkai, the Legion Chief of Staff, were as if they had been trained, and seemed to be a little calmer?
The five division commanders Xu Guohui, Wang Chuang, Zhao Xinyu, Hu Zhenglong and Zhan Yang are actually competing in secret, because the treatment of the three A-type field divisions of the Rehe Legion is not fixed. After a half-year training competition and acting, they judge heroes by comprehensive results! The only ones who have very natural expressions are Tang Ziqiang and Zhang Tianpeng. They both do the only job of Scorpion cakes, and they are not afraid of anyone stealing business. Moreover, artillery and armored soldiers are both technical jobs. To put it bluntly, they have to be tempered for thousands of times. Three or five years of infantry and eight years of artillery, these old sayings also have some reason.
The only one who seemed very calm was Li Songtao and Ye Yunfei, senior staff officer of the Legion. The two of them whispered from time to time. When Zhang Xuewu spoke, they only allowed the senior staff to quietly exchange necessary information and opinions. This was a privilege that was not a privilege.
Zhang Xuewu looked around for a week but was not angry because as a commander, he also understood a certain art of leadership. Leading troops to fight was different from the doctrine of moderate officials in later generations. Leading troops to fight had to first establish one's absolute personal authority. "Power" means to make your subordinates trust him unconditionally, and "surrounding" means to surround Shangguan and ask for materials and military pay. For example, Lao Jiang, Zhang Xueliang and He Yingqin are all the targets that Zhang Xuewu wants to surround, and "for" means to dare to take responsibility for his subordinates. To be clear, it is to protect the cub. As long as it is not a matter of forced robbery of a civilian woman and extortion of property, it is easy to cause public anger, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it will be suppressed first.
On these three levels of Weiwei, Zhang Xuewu deliberately said that he did a great job, especially the pension and wartime rewards after the Chengde War made him pay a lot of heartache, but he gained more than 5,000 fearless life and death, loyal and reliable subordinates.
In the eyes of grassroots officers and soldiers, there is no family and country justice, especially ordinary soldiers without culture. They do not realize that the Japanese have ambition to destroy China. They are fighting with all kinds of superiors. It is not just a bad fate to keep up with good officials.
Wouldn't it be a ill if Zhang Xuewu doesn't work hard? Especially when Zhang Xuewu distributed all the pensions and rewards for killing Japanese invaders to his designated families and their designated families in front of all the officers and soldiers, no one could shake Zhang Xuewu's prestige among his old subordinates. If another chief in Nanjing sends another chief to take over the troops, it will surely inspire a mutiny.
Moreover, after the war, Zhang Xuewu also promoted the officers and soldiers who survived the bloody battle in Chengde. These people were his best friends and team. Zhang Xueliang and the officers who were supplemented by Nanjing could not do this. However, Zhang Xuewu believed that under the subtle influence of his subordinates, after experiencing several events, his prestige would be higher. He did not want any iron-clad soldiers and generals in the barracks. What Zhang Xuewu wanted was an iron army that belonged entirely to him!
Therefore, Zhang Xuewu did not pursue the things that his subordinates made the friendly military feel embarrassed. It was originally an order he issued. His subordinates did it, and they had to praise them first if they achieved their goals. As for whether the methods were excessive, it would be a matter of the future. Zhang Xuewu looked at Xu Guohui, who was smiling with a pleasing smile on his face, and his heart suddenly became slap. Xu Guohui was a bitch who would choose no matter what. If he had to find someone comparable to him in the Rehe Legion, he would probably be the brigade commander of the Mechanized Brigade, Tang Ziqiang, who was the brigade commander of the Mechanized Brigade.
Xu Guohui usually laughed so badly and basically did something to do to Zhang Xuewu, or needed Zhang Xuewu to help him wipe his butt. Zhang Xuewu probably disarmed the second battalion of a certain Jin army and picked out the strong soldiers and non-commissioned officers in the middle of the night. The rest of the sheep-herding boy Xu Guohui might have done it, so he gently patted Xu Guohui on the shoulder, and Xu Guohui sat back proudly.
Zhang Xuewu came to Hu Zhenglong and looked at Hu Zhenglong with a smile. Although Hu Zhenglong entered the so-called core of the Rehe Legion, he had been with Zhang Xuewu for a short time and was a little confused about the temperament of the Legion Commander, so he hesitated and said a little hesitantly: "Legion Commander, my divisions and Zhan Yang are both garrison divisions organized by Type B, so we must be more ambitious than others. Moreover, we are garrison divisions organized by Type B, and the division commander is the colonel. If others want to go, they must consider field divisions organized by Type A, or mechanized brigades. The most popular one is the direct troops of the Legion. Our garrison division is really helpless! He was forced to choose an independent unit below the battalion of a friendly army for persuasion, so he barely selected enough suitable soldiers. You really don't know the commander of the Legion! It's too difficult to choose a good soldier. Even if you are willing to follow us, you must meet the conditions. We have been climbing the Five Classics in the middle of the night during this period!"
Zhan Yang kicked Hu Zhenglong under the table quietly and glared at him, as if warning you to say that you are just fine and keep me aside. However, Hu Zhenglong was like a turtle eating a weight and was determined to pull Zhan Yang, a young radical who was specially promoted by Zhang Xuewu.
Zhang Xuewu was slightly stunned. The matter of encircling people's camp and robbing people on a large scale was done by you, Hu Zhenglong and Zhan Yang? After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuewu asked very seriously: "How many times have you done it? What troops are the other party?"
Hu Zhenglong was stunned at this time, and thought for a while and said, "My entire division has less than 2,000 people. Now there are more than 9,200 people, and most of the other 7,200 people are borrowed by me. You don't know the commander of the army! Apart from those who don't want to come, those who are reluctant to leave home and those who are old troops, in fact, it is not very efficient to find people to win over. Northwest Army, Jin Army, Central Army, Northeast Army, Local Security Corps, Volunteer Army, and County Police Security Brigade. We have all done it. The Northeast Army is the best! When grassroots officers and soldiers hear you fight against Japan, they are very enthusiastic and unrestrained. The Central Army is also fine. There are not many qualified Jin Army, and they are all broken! But we have principles, that is, the same regiment-level troops only borrow people once, and there are absolutely not many, and they never take friendly weapons and equipment."
Zhang Xuewu was really ashamed at this moment. He was actually quite principled. If it weren't for his Rehe Legion's statement, Zhang Xueliang was his cousin in Beijing, and Nanjing also deliberately ignored the instigation and promotion of the fire, Rehe might be a lively this time. Song Zheyuan, Shang Zhen, Xu Tingyao and others were those who were easy to talk to and get along with?
So by several coincidences, the troops stationed in Rehe could see clearly the meaning of the upspring. They could not get rid of the military and political department. Wu could not get rid of Zhang Xuewu. Besides, behind Zhang Xuewu was Zhang Xueliang and Lao Jiang from Nanjing, so they all secretly vowed to gain a better memory next time and set off one after another.
