Chapter 283 Zhongtiaoshan Army Reorganization (Zhong)

After ten days of march, Zhang Lieyang led the newly formed 13th Army under the newly formed 13th Army to return to Zhongtiao Mountain. After arriving at Zhongtiao Mountain, Zhang Lieyang walked directly into the base headquarters. In the office, Zhang Lieyang saw Zuo Quan and Liu Fengming and asked, "Why didn't you see Lao Li?"

"Old Li is busy integrating the troops now!" Zuo Quan said seriously.

Hearing Zuo Quan's words, Zhang Lieyang said to Zhang Xianghu beside him: "Go and notify Deputy Commander Li, I have something to look for him!"

"Yes!" Zhang Xianghu turned around and left. After Zhang Xianghu left, Zhang Lieyang looked at Zuo Quan and Liu Fengming and said, "How is the loss of the troops this time?!"

After looking at Liu Fengming, Zuo Quan said, "This time the army lost up to 40% of its personnel! If Lao Li had not incorporated the six regiments of the other troops, the losses would be greater!" Hearing Zuo Quan's words, Zhang Lieyang immediately said unhappily: "How are you commanding?! Wouldn't you make good use of the geographical environment of Zhongtiao Mountain?! I left all the special forces to you. Wouldn't you make good use of it?"

Just when Zhang Lieyang was angry, Li Mutian walked in and comforted him, "Okay, Lieyang! Don't get so much fire!" Li Mutian asked with a smile, "How many troops have you lost?!"

Zhang Lieyang said lightly: "In two battles in total, I had 19,000 soldiers with no supply of troops. I was seriously injured by 14,328 people and slightly injured by 24,921 people!" After hearing a series of data reported by Zhang Lieyang, Zuo Quan frowned! Because Zuo Quan knew that the 100,000 people in Zhang Lieyang were facing nearly 400,000 Japanese divisions, and the strength comparison was 1 to 4! If he had been to command, he would have been satisfied with the draw with the Japanese!

Li Mutian looked at the silence around him, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Lieyang, there is another thing waiting for you to deal with! You also know that I have incorporated many troops in Zhongtiaoshan this time, including many Central Army!" Before Li Mutian finished speaking, Zhang Lieyang said seriously, "Old Li transferred some veterans with strong military tactics to supplement the troops! Then he transferred a group of strong military recruits! If they had any dissatisfaction, let those officers come to me directly!"

Just when Zhang Lieyang and Li Mutian and others were having a small meeting, they heard Zhang Xianghu shouting outside the door: "General He Yingqin, Chief of Staff, is here!" Hearing Zhang Xianghu's scream, Zhang Lieyang smiled and went out and said: "General Chief of Staff, you will notify me if you come. I'll go to the airport to greet you!"

"Lieyang, I am here to work on behalf of the commissioner!" He Yingqin said seriously: "Lieyang, can I have something to talk to you privately?!"

Zhang Lieyang thought for a while and said, "No problem! Please follow me!" As he said that, Zhang Lieyang brought He Yingqin into a small reception room and said, "Please say anything if the Chief of Staff has to say!"

He Yingqin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Lieyang, the commissioner asked me to ask you what rewards you want?!"

Hearing He Yingqin's words, Zhang Lieyang immediately understood: "Cheng Kai-shek has begun to be wary of himself!" Thinking of this, Zhang Lieyang smiled and said, "President He, to be honest! I never thought about any reward! Fighting foreign enemies is what a soldier should do! Besides, everything I have given to me is given by the principal!" Zhang Lieyang looked at He Yingqin's face and said seriously: "I was going to Chongqing in two days to apologize to the principal!"

"Lieyang, what mistakes have you made?!" He Yingqin asked in confusion.

"Due to the urgent war situation at that time, during the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan, I asked Deputy Commander Li Mutian to reorganize the troops that passively avoided war and preserved their strength and voluntarily gave up their positions! The original officers were detained in the study class of the new 13th Army of Zhongtiaoshan! Now these troops are all outstanding officers drawn from the new 13th Army of my new 13th Army of the Army of the 13th Army for temporary management!" Zhang Lieyang said seriously.

He Yingqin shook his head when he heard Zhang Lieyang's words and said, "Lieyang, I really don't know what to say about you!" He Yingqin thought about it and said, "Tomorrow morning, you can go back to Chongqing with me to report your work! Let's talk about everything when you return to Chongqing!"

The next morning, Zhang Lieyang and He Yingqin flew to Chongqing on the same plane. After getting off the plane, He Yingqin hurriedly took Zhang Lieyang to the office of Chiang Kai-shek, the Supreme Command. When he walked into Chiang Kai-shek's office, He Yingqin immediately told Chiang Kai-shek about Zhang Lieyang's integration and incorporation of the troops.

After hearing He Yingqin's narration, Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "Lieyang did nothing wrong in this matter! But it is not the same thing for those officers, you can stay in Zhongtiao Mountain! In this way, tomorrow you send a plane to send them all to Chongqing and leave it to Yunong to handle this matter!" As Chiang Kai-shek said to Zhang Lieyang, "Lieyang, you have made great contributions this time. What do you want me to reward you?!"

Zhang Lieyang looked at Chiang Kai-shek and said seriously: "Principal, the students do not forget their oath when they entered the school! So the students dare not make any requests!" Zhang Lieyang looked at Chiang Kai-shek's reaction and continued: "Principal, the students are about to go abroad to fight! I wonder if the principal will give each soldier some rewards in the name of your leader, and give heavy pensions to the fallen soldiers and the heavily disabled soldiers? To strengthen the soldiers' sense of allegiance to the leaders!"

Hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Chiang Kai-shek thought to himself: "I am always on guard against Zhang Lieyang, but Zhang Lieyang is always on my mind!" After thinking about it, Chiang Kai-shek, who came to his senses for a while, said to He Yingqin: "Just do what Lieyang said, you will be responsible for this matter yourself. I don't want to see the incident of Ke Tang Mo appear!"

"Yes! Commissioner, I will do it immediately!" He Yingqin turned around and left. After He Yingqin immediately, Chiang Kai-shek warmly pulled Zhang Lieyang to his side and sat down and asked, "Lieyang, do you have any ideas about going abroad to fight?!"

"Principal, the Japanese are not worth worrying about. What we need to be wary of is the British! If the British stab us in the back, then we may be surrounded by the Japanese!" Zhang Lieyang said seriously.

After hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Chiang Kai-shek said, "No matter how the British are, you can just fight according to your own ideas!" As he said, Chiang Kai-shek said to Zhang Lieyang: "Now, since all parties are paying attention to the arrangements of this expeditionary force! So you can't have too much time to reorganize the troops. I will give you at most another half month, which is to mid-February your troops must set out!"
