[69 Book Bar-www.] Chapter 78: Gathering troops to rule the roost
When the time came, the guard outside was still there to change the guard, so he went back into the house cursing. He was even more annoyed when he saw that there was no sound in the dark room.
"Damn it, I knew I was snoozing and didn't come to change my shift."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his head thud, and he fainted and fell to the ground. Langya followed the same pattern and knocked down the guards outside one by one. A team of Langya immediately took over the guard duty.
Wolf Head turned on the lights in the room and began to interrogate these people.
"Who among you is the leader?"
"Sir, I am. My name is Liu Tie, and I am the leader of the action team of Shanxi Military Command Taiyuan Station. Where are you from?"
"You don't need to know where we are. Tell me why you are going against Brigadier Duan? Who are your internal agents in the army? Where are Brigadier Duan's guards?"
"Sir, we are preparing to launch a mutiny at the request of the Chief of Staff. The Chief of Staff reported that Brigadier Duan is in cahoots with the Communists and is conspiring to rebel.
We were ordered by the station commander to secretly arrest Brigadier Duan and head to Chongqing. The replacement security forces are being held in the army's prison."
"Do you have any evidence of the connection between Brigadier Duan?"
"There is no real evidence. It was just a guess by the chief of staff. It has been secretly reported to Chongqing."
"What did you do to Deputy Commander Duan?"
"I didn't do anything, and you just took it down."
Langtou came to Duan Dezhang's station and told Brigadier Duan the truth about what happened. He also suggested that, fearing that changes would happen later, he suggested holding a meeting overnight and reading out the telegram.
Duan Dezhang also had an angry look on his face. Langya had already rushed to the prison and released all the guards. They immediately went to the brigade headquarters to await orders.
Duan Dezhang immediately ordered his adjutant to notify the leading officers of the whole brigade and company and above overnight and go to the brigade headquarters to convey the orders of the Military and Political Department. There must be no mistakes and no absences.
The door of the conference room was guarded by a team of wolf fangs.
Because the notice was delivered in the middle of the night, everyone who came was sleepy-eyed and listless. Their mouths were full of dissatisfied words. You know, when they arrived at the door, they were told that they should hand it over and rush in.
Everyone was stunned, it had never happened before, but when they saw the serious-looking guards, everyone did not dare to say anything and obeyed the instructions obediently. After Duan Dezhang's adjutant finished counting, Langya closed the door and stood there.
Behind Duan Dezhang, he stared at all the officers in the room.
Duan Dezhang looked around at all the leaders at all levels in the room and said with a slight smile.
"I was out for a few days, and a lot of things happened in the brigade headquarters. It made me very uneasy. This is a major event related to the future of the entire brigade. I don't know what this person wants to do.
I also know that some people are happy to see such a scene. At this time, the war of resistance has entered a critical moment. I cannot tolerate such a thing happening in my brigade.
It just so happens that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has sent a message. I will convey it to you now. You can speak freely. This is an opportunity for you to express your opinions."
Duan Dezhang held up the message and read,
"The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs sent a message that in view of the great changes in the anti-Japanese war situation in Shanxi, Duan Dezhang's brigade is hereby ordered to be placed under the control of the Jiangshui Ministry of Defense from the day of receiving the telegram. Duan Dezhang was promoted to the position of lieutenant general, deputy commander, and concurrently served as brigade commander. Ministry of Military and Political Affairs of the Republic of China
March 18, 21”
As soon as Duan Dezhang finished speaking, the people below were all stunned. This time they were awake and no longer confused. Then the words that got louder and louder were filled with doubts, emotions, and even happiness. He asked questioningly:
Is it true? He said with emotion, it seems that Jiang Shuirou was very resourceful and hid it deeply enough. He said thankfully, it was a good thing he didn't mess around, otherwise he wouldn't know how he died.
There was only one person in the crowd, the Chief of Staff, who looked defeated and lowered his head in silence. Duan Dezhang asked everyone,
"What do you all think? If you have any questions, you can ask. It doesn't matter. Speak freely and don't make a fuss."
"Brigade Commander, I heard that Jiangshui Roubu has been expanding aggressively recently. I also heard that they are going to march into the Northeast. Is this true?"
"It's true. He was ordered by the Ministry of Military Affairs. This is an extremely confidential plan, so don't ask any more questions."
"Are there any of you who don't want to go to the Northeast? It doesn't matter if you do. It's easy to get together and disperse. I'm going to say something ugly in front of you. Officers can leave, but soldiers absolutely cannot. Otherwise, it will be done according to military law. Anyone who takes away soldiers will be regarded as defecting.
, engaged in military law.”
There were 3 or 5 people who stood up at that time and expressed their unwillingness to go to the Northeast, saying that it was too cold there and they were not used to it. Duan Dezhang did not force them and let them go at that time, with guards accompanying them.
However, the military commander and the chief of staff were arrested at that time. The reason was for inciting mutiny and threatening the safety of senior officers. It was confirmed that he was defecting.
A telegram was sent to the Ministry of Military Affairs and the execution was immediately carried out. At this point, the operation of the brigade to merge with the Jiangshui Rou Army came to an end.
Since Jiang Shuirou's political profile had not surfaced, and the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs was unable to reach it, so the matter was left alone.
But the Eighth Route Army was overjoyed. Jiang Shuirou's troops had truly realized the formation of an army. Four divisions, a special operations brigade, and all the German weapons and equipment.
"Shui Rou, what will happen to the ammunition supply in the future? There is no backup."
"What are you afraid of? Doesn't your division still have an ammunition depot? Let's go grab it. In fact, I have accumulated a lot of ammunition in the past few years, enough to last for several years. I plan to grab it before I leave.
Once. You don’t have to worry anymore.”
Afterwards, Jiang Shuirou sent Cheetah to Duan Brigade to train the troops. At this time, the soldiers in Duan Brigade truly saw what military training is and why Jiang Legion troops are so good at fighting. The training methods are much different from other troops.
No, the techniques and tactics are completely different from those of other troops. Each
Soldiers do not have bayonets, only daggers. This means that every soldier in the army must have the ability to dare to fight in close combat. Every day's shooting training must complete 100 rounds of ammunition. In just one month, Duan Brigade's troops
There was a completely different momentum. It was completely different from the previous troops.
The troops were successfully trained and were immediately put into actual combat. Like other troops, Duan Brigade also grew up in the battle. The situation in Shanxi was also undergoing an earth-shaking reversal. The Japanese invaders had been squeezed out of Shanxi.
According to the plan, Jiang Shuirou's troops liberated Zhangjiakou, the outpost for sending troops to the northeast.
But when Jiang Shuirou was committed to sending troops to the Northeast, he didn't know that his Bingbing, due to his outstanding performance in his special warfare training class, had become famous all over the world in the Eighth Headquarters, and even spread to Yan'an.
