"Ah, look, the chief of staff must be back!" "Haha, the chief of staff is finally back! Come on, beat the drum! Set off firecrackers! Set off fireworks!" "Pull up the banners to welcome the division and our Jiaodong
The soldiers from the Peninsula are going home!” Crack! Dang, dong, dong!
When someone saw the lights of the motorcade coming from far and near, the dark crowd suddenly began to boil. In an instant, gongs and drums were beating loudly, firecrackers were blasting, and all kinds of colorful fireworks lit up the night sky! Although at this time,
It is already late autumn, and the cool breeze blows at night, making people's faces stiff and their limbs cold. However, the lights of the motorcade in the distance are like rays of powerful and warm sunshine shining into everyone's heart, making everyone's heart boil with excitement.
!"Hey, what kind and simple people are you! It's just that in troubled times, people's lives are like nothing, so I have no choice but to fight!" Looking at the boiling crowd in the distance, Jiang Qiang felt very uncomfortable and felt a little ashamed.
The guilt and sorrow of Jiangdong’s elders!
Although we did win a great victory this time and killed more than 23,000 Japs, the number of people killed on our side alone reached 1,478! 1,478 people killed means that more than 1,500 young lives have been lost.
, which means that more than 1,500 families will suffer the pain of losing their sons and husbands, which means heart-breaking separations of life and death!
Jiang Qiang is not a politician, a careerist, or a warlord. He has never thought about "one general's success and the death of thousands of bones" and using the bones of others to lay his eternal foundation! However, he was just born in this war-torn world.
In the big era, Jiang Qiang really has no choice, because "if I don't kill people, others will kill me"!
Zhuang Tao, led by a large group of county government officials, welcomed Jiang Qiang to the county government. Yu Yanluo also rushed over from Qixia County at this time. Since it was already getting late, Jiang Qiang did not talk much.
, after briefly speaking to the soldiers and civilians who came to greet them, he ordered the troops to march into the city and go back to their homes to find their mothers, and then settle down first! In the evening, I had a meal with Zhuang Tao and Yu Yanluo at the county government.
After resting, Yu Yanluo stamped her feet angrily and cursed, "You are really an idiot. I found so many little wives in Tianjin, but I can't do it in Zhaoyuan. Am I really embarrassed? It seems that I should take the initiative next time, otherwise
I didn’t even bother to take advantage of all the food given to those vixens, eh, idiot.”
After breakfast, Jiang Qiang drove directly to the county government. He had left Zhaoyuan County for more than half a year. Although Zhuang Tao, Wang Yong and others were taking care of the government affairs, he still had to go and ask!
After spending an hour or two understanding and handling official matters, Jiang Qiang said to Huzi next to him: "Huzi, please immediately notify the following people to come to the meeting!"
After saying that, Jiang Qiang handed a list to Huzi. "Okay, I'll call and inform you right away!" Huzi picked up the list and walked out without saying anything! "If we can continue to develop peacefully like this,
How wonderful would that be? I really can't bear to see this paradise destroyed by war!" Jiang Qiang stood up and walked to the window, looking at the prosperous and peaceful beautiful scenery near and far, feeling both proud and worried in his heart!
Today, Zhaoyuan County can be said to be a paradise on earth in troubled times. The living environment is beautiful, the public security is excellent, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and all walks of life are prosperous! If there is no cloud of war hanging over it, Jiang Qiang will ask Zhuang Tao to carry out a plan soon.
A series of modernization reforms have increased the social security system, greatly improved social welfare, and caused a surge in all walks of life. Zhaoyuan County's economic level, military strength, and people's happiness index have once again risen steadily!
It's just that the war will soon start at home. Jiang Qiang can only do his best to improve his military strength and prevent various possibilities while ensuring basic welfare! Half an hour later, all the people who should attend the meeting arrived in Zhaoyuan
Jiang Qiang walked into the county government conference room! As soon as he stood in front of the stage, Jiang Qiang straight to the point joked: "Heng San, Wang Yong, Captain Yang, Captain Ren, Captain Guang,
You all have just returned home and haven't warmed up enough with your wife and children, so I called you over. You won't blame me for being ignorant, right?"
"Where! Where! Chief of Staff, you summoned us for a meeting. I'm not happy enough!" "Yes! Yes! Chief of Staff, if you have any new tasks, just give them to us. We are full of energy now!" "Hehe!
, Needless to say! By following the Chief of Staff, we will always have endless strength!"
Wang Yong and others hurriedly waved their hands to apologize, knowing very well that Jiang Qiang was going to cause big trouble again. They were not afraid of trouble, but were afraid of having nothing to do! "Very good, I want your energy and energy!"
Jiang Qiang nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that Governor Han promoted our Jiaodong Independent Brigade to the Jiaodong Independent Division, and placed Yantai and Haiyang County under the independent division's defense area!
Everyone should understand the intention. This is not only a reward, but also an arduous responsibility. Governor Han wants to hand over Jiaozhou Bay and the surrounding eastern coastal areas to our defense! In order to fulfill Governor Han’s important trust, in order to protect
The people of Shandong will not be slaughtered by the Japanese invaders in the future. To this end, I have made the following decisions and appointments! Everyone, please listen carefully!" "Please give your orders to the chief of staff, we will not hesitate even if we go through fire and water!"
Wang Yong, Heng San, Li Jinglin, Zhuang Tao, and others stood up one after another, saluted and promised Jiang Qiang solemnly, and their sonorous and powerful words made the whole conference room buzz. "Very good, refresh yourself.
Good luck!" Jiang Qiang nodded with a smile, and then gave serious instructions:
"Let me make it clear first that before the contents of today's meeting are implemented and turned into facts, all contents need to be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked to other unrelated personnel. Otherwise, it will be treated as a leak of military secrets!" "Chief of Staff, please rest assured.
, we must strictly keep the secret!" "Well, that is necessary!" "We will never reveal a word!"
Wang Yong, Heng San, Zhuang Tao and others all nodded solemnly and assured, knowing that the more solemn Jiang Qiang was, the more earth-shattering the contents would be! Jiang Qiang then said to Yanluo: "You don't need to record today's meeting.
As long as everyone knows what they should do, there is no need to form a formal document!
Today only Jiang He is not present because he is still on his way back to Zhaoyuan County. When he comes back, I will explain to him alone!" "Okay! Okay!" Yu Yanluo nodded quickly and closed the notebook!
"Okay, then I'll get down to business now!"
Jiang Qiang glanced around at the people who were sitting there, and then said word by word: "The first topic is the expansion plan of the independent division! I have drawn up a plan to expand the garrison regiment, the first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment into infantry.
Brigade, each infantry brigade has three infantry regiments, and the upper limit of the number of each brigade is tentatively set at 7,000 people. The special operations team is expanded into a special operations brigade, which will have tank armor regiments and special operations infantry regiments, and the upper limit of the number is tentatively set at 5,000 people.
!
In addition, the independent division will expand and create tank and armor regiments, artillery regiments, engineering regiments, baggage regiments, communications regiments, chemical defense regiments, health regiments, and cultural troupes! I will hold a separate meeting to discuss the specific preparations and creation of these regiment-level units. Today
I won’t discuss it in detail!”
At present, the division-level units of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War Army usually consist of two brigades, four infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, one artillery regiment, one engineer battalion, one baggage battalion, and one company each of special agents, sanitation, and communications, with a total of 13,854 people! And Jiang
Han Xin has always believed that the more soldiers the better. Instead of following common sense, he directly organized the 5th Brigade and the 14th Regiment, and also directly created 7 regiment-level units including the Artillery Regiment, the Engineer Regiment, and the Baggage Regiment. This is simply crazy.
Extremely violent troops! "Oh my god, it's truly shocking again!" "Chief of Staff, what a great gesture!"
"Hehe, now we can all be promoted to official positions!" "Yeah, you don't have to worry about brothers competing with each other!" As soon as Jiang Qiang finished speaking, Wang Yong, Zhuang Tao and others all brightened their eyes and whispered excitedly!
After following Jiang Qiang for nearly a year, they have transformed from unknown people to high-ranking brigade commanders and regimental commanders. This is just like a dream!
"Oh my god, if we do this, wouldn't it mean that our independent division will directly become an independent army?" "Yes, at first glance, the total strength of our independent division will exceed 40,000 people?" In addition, Zhuang Tao and Chen
Qing, Su Jinmin and other government officials also looked very excited. Anyone with a little common sense in this era knows that political power comes from the barrel of a gun!
As long as Jiang Qiang continues to expand its military power, they will surely rise in the future, and it is even possible that they will open up new territories and create feudal lords in the future! "Okay, everyone, please be quiet!" He took out his tea cup and took a few sips.
Jiang Qiang then continued: "I have set the tone for the expansion of the army, but the specific implementation process still requires everyone's collective efforts!
I am responsible for purchasing weapons, equipment and material supplies, and you are responsible for recruiting troops as required, and training me as quickly as possible a strong force of elite soldiers who can "come as soon as they are called, can fight when they come, and will win when they fight"!" Wang Yong does not wait.
After everyone expressed their excitement, Jiang Qiang continued:
"This time, the grassroots officers and soldiers who have returned from the front line can take 5 days off to rest and recuperate. For those of you who are high-ranking officials, I will not give you a long vacation this time. I can only give you two days to deal with personal matters! The day after tomorrow is October.
On the 26th, you will all get into work mode, start reorganizing your respective teams, and set up the framework of your respective armies as soon as possible!
We must let those veterans who have made meritorious deeds on the battlefield make good use of them, so that they can lead the new recruits to grow up as quickly as possible and play their best role! In addition, after you go back, make a good statistics and plan for your personal military exploits during this trip north to fight against Japan. Those who deserve awards will be rewarded, and those who deserve promotion will be rewarded.
Those who hold high positions must be promoted, and we must make rewards and punishments clear!
After you finish your vacation, you will draw up a troop expansion and reward plan for me within three days. Are there any problems?" "No problem!" "I promise to complete the mission!" "Please rest assured, sir, we will never let you down your high expectations!
"
Heng San, Zhuang Tao and the other four people stood up one after another and saluted Jiang Qiang with great seriousness. They couldn't wait to get into their new work now. How could they have time to take a vacation? "Okay, you don't have to be too anxious. It's appropriate."
A good balance between work and rest is still necessary!”
Seeing a few people rolling their eyes, Jiang Qiang knew what they were planning without even thinking about it. He immediately gave a friendly reminder. After all, as a modern person, we know that overwork is very harmful to the body. It would be unreasonable not to die from overwork.
It's worth it! After talking about the most important topic, Jiang Qiang turned to Zhuang Tao and said: "The remains of the martyrs will be managed in the martyrs' cemetery, condolences to the families of military martyrs, care of the seriously injured, and a series of aftermath tasks. You must also hurry up and do your best."
We will do our best to comfort the families of the martyrs and the injured!"
Zhuang Tao quickly nodded solemnly and said: "Chief of Staff, please rest assured, I will do my best to ensure the successful completion of the mission!" "Yes!" Jiang Qiang nodded lightly, and then said to Chen Qing:
"Your Construction Bureau will have a very heavy workload recently. You must organize manpower as soon as possible to upgrade the existing defense fortifications in Yantai and Haiyang County and turn them into solid military fortresses! In addition, you will also further increase the number of our entire defense area.
The construction of civil air defense projects within the scope must ensure the defense capabilities to ensure the personal safety of the people and the normal operation of the infrastructure even if the Japanese invaders bombard them every day in the future!
Solicit more opinions on specific plans. Don't be afraid of spending money or wasting materials. I will fully support your construction project! I only ask for speed and quality. We must seize the time. The Japanese will not give us too much time!" Chen Qing hurriedly said
He stood up and responded confidently: "Master, please rest assured and ensure that the task is completed! Our 8,500 construction workers in the Construction Bureau have been working hard on construction and have never slacked off!"
Jiang Qiang has always attached great importance to the construction of the anti-war base. From the beginning, he has spared no effort to practice his internal skills and continuously improve his infrastructure capabilities. He has spent huge sums of money to build a series of supporting facilities such as power plants, cement plants, wire plants, steel plants, etc.
Production unit! In addition, a large number of modern engineering vehicles, cranes, forklifts, road rollers, gantry cranes, mixers, tower cranes, rock drills and other construction equipment have been purchased! After more than a year of training and development, Zhaoyuan County Construction Bureau has
He has transformed into a contemporary infrastructure maniac, and his construction capabilities have become quite terrifying. There is absolutely no pressure to complete the military fortress in the new defense zone within a month or two and build sufficient civil air defense projects!
And currently, in several neighboring counties, Zhaoyuan County and Qixia County have successively completed the construction of several high-grade cement roads, and various vehicles and equipment can easily reach neighboring counties for construction! "Very good!" Jiang
Qiang cast an approving look, and then said in a deep voice: "That's all I'm going to talk about today. Is there anything you want to add or don't understand?" "This!"
Hengsan looked at Jiang Qiang, and then asked curiously: "Chief of Staff, I want to ask, what happened to the tank armored regiment you just mentioned? Hehe, we have been practicing on fake tanks before.
A lot of time has passed, but not a single real tank has been seen?"
We did get a few Little Devil's Bean Tanks in Fengtai before, but Jiang Qiang didn't look down on them at all, so he gave them to the 29th Army directly. Huzi and others just had a blast! Jiang Qiang said with a smile:
"Don't worry, there will be bread, and there will be milk! Don't worry, when did I make a mistake? You will know what happened in a few days!" After hearing this, how could Hengsan not know what it meant?
, he immediately rubbed his hands with great excitement and said:
"It's really great. We can finally have tanks and armored units. We won't have to work so hard to fight against Japanese enemy positions in the future! Haha!" "Great, the division chief of staff is mighty!" "Long live the independent division!"
Zhuang Tao and others also followed the burst of ecstasy and the whole conference room cheered. Although everyone has long been accustomed to Jiang Qiang's unpredictable abilities, the direct addition of a tank regiment this time still made everyone extremely excited and strange!
After being excited for a while, Yang Chengliang then asked: "Chief of Staff, now that we have added two counties to our defense area, do we need to adjust the specific defense deployment? Should our brigades be stationed separately?
In addition, I am still a little worried. Yantai is Haiyang County, and the Japanese navy is so powerful. Can we defend it in the future?" Ren Yixiong nodded and agreed: "Yes, I have such worries too! Although the increase in defense areas means there is room for strategic maneuvering
Increase, but the same pressure will definitely be magnified several times!" Now the Guangdong Battle is coming to an end. The Japanese army relied on its powerful weapons and equipment advantages to cause heavy casualties to more than 800,000 Chinese troops!
Although Jiang Qiang and his men have fought fiercely with the Japanese army several times, and they have always won very eye-catching results with fewer victories, Huzi and others know that their military strength is still far from enough! If all the troops of the independent division are put into
On the Guangdong battlefield, at best, if you can hold on for a few more days and kill more Japs than other troops, you will end up being completely maimed or even wiped out!
Jiang Qiang chuckled confidently and said: "What are you afraid of? When the soldiers come, the water will be blocked by the earth! If we take the initiative to fight a tough battle, we will indeed suffer heavy casualties, but we are holding on to our own territory, so do we need to be afraid?
The little devils are just a bunch of bullies who are afraid of the strong. They are also afraid of death. I don't believe that they will continue to foolishly trade a few lives for one of ours?" To be honest, Jiang Qiang was actually very uneasy.
The strength of the Japanese army during World War II is not just an exaggeration. It once defeated the Americans into disgrace! If the Japanese army base camp directly listed itself as the number one enemy at this stage and did not give the wretched time to develop, it would really not be fun! "Chief of Staff
What you said is absolutely true!”
"That's true. With the fortifications and anti-aircraft firepower we have built now, even if the Japs, tanks, planes and artillery take turns taking turns, we won't be able to take advantage of it!" "Yes, just do it!" "Well, if the Japs come knocking on the door,
, let’s just fight them tooth and nail, as the saying goes, kill one without losing, kill two and gain one, haha!”
"Soldiers are the courage of generals, and generals are the soul of soldiers." Jiang Qiang is the omnipotent god of war in the eyes of everyone. When everyone saw that he was still Feng Qingyun's calm expression, the worries that had just appeared were instantly shattered!
"Okay, that's the end of today's meeting! Go ahead and do whatever you need to do, take a good rest for a day or two, and it's not too late to start working again the day after tomorrow! Zhuang Tao, you stay, I have something to explain!" Then he added
After a few words of gossip, Jiang Qiang dismissed everyone and said to Zhou Hao alone: "Zhou Hao, you are not allowed to attend the meeting today just to join in the fun!
I plan to make you the commander of the tank and armor regiment, so you must be mentally prepared!" In Jiang Qiang's plan, the tank and armor corps, air force and navy will be gradually established in the future. These arms will undoubtedly become elite forces that determine the outcome of the war.
!Zhou Hao is also an old man from Hongkou District, Shanghai. He has been following Jiang Qiang for almost ten years. Zhou Hao is one of the people he trusts the most. Jiang Qiang has no reason not to train him vigorously and put him in key and important positions!
What's more, Zhou Hao has good abilities in all aspects and has been trained to be a capable general. Therefore, Jiang Qiang can promote talents without any psychological burden! "Ah? Master! I, it is better to let Liu Qiang go, I still want to
Follow you!"
Zhou Hao looked at Jiang Qiang in surprise. He did not expect that he would be entrusted with an important task so quickly. He originally thought that it would be great to become the commander of the newly expanded guard battalion! "This is an order, and you are not allowed to bargain!" Jiang
Qiang waved his hand incredulously, and then said in a deep voice: "General Tang Juwu has sent nearly one hundred tanks and they will arrive in Zhaoyuan County soon!
These are big guys with ferocious firepower, and the Japanese tanks are completely vulnerable to them! In the future, the tank regiment will be expanded into a tank division, or even a tank corps. I will only give such an important unit to you.
Don't worry!" "Thank you, Chief of Staff, for your cultivation. I, Zhou Hao, am inexplicably grateful!" Zhou Hao quickly stood up and saluted, and vowed in an unusually firm tone: "Chief of Staff, please rest assured, I will do my best to lead good soldiers for the division.
If there is anything wrong, please bring it up and see me!" "Very good! Sit down first!"
Jiang Qiang nodded, and then said: "I will give you a complete set of training materials on tanks and armored forces as soon as possible. You must familiarize yourself with the business as soon as possible! There is a lot of knowledge here, you have to pay more attention, we are starting from scratch now
, a lot of things require exploration and learning! You have to put more thought into this aspect!" Jiang Qiang had been exposed to tanks in the army before, but he was not proficient in it. He only knew tank operation, tank-infantry cooperation, tank communications, and tanks
Concepts such as maintenance and repair, etc., so the specific content requires dedicated personnel to carefully manage and expand it!
Fortunately, Shanghai not only sent tanks, but also various manuals, books and technical information. Jiang Qiang could take them out and give them to Zhou Hao! "Hey, that's good! This way you won't be blinded, so there should be no problem in following the example."
Yes!" Zhou Hao suddenly let out a long breath of relief.
"Okay, I won't bullshit you anymore! Go home and spend more time with your wife and children. They have been in Zhaoyuan County for more than a year, but they have been spending less time with you and more apart from each other. You have to thank your wife! She is
It is not easy for a good woman to be a military wife in our army!"
Jiang Qiang didn't talk nonsense, and after he got down to business, he issued an order to expel the guest! Zhou Hao said with a playful smile: "Chief of Staff, aren't you the same? You hang out with us big men all day long, when will you have Sister Tingting with you?"
Miss Yu and the others..."
"Stop! I know what's going on with me! Get out of here, or I won't give you a day off!" "Chief of Staff, please calm down, I'm going to get out of here! Haha!" Zhou Hao whistled and hummed a ditty and walked out of the conference room,
Sure enough, people are in high spirits during happy events! "The sun is shining outside, and it's rare for me to have half a day's leisure. I also went out to bask in the sun! By the way, I feel the sentiment of the people!"
After finishing the immediate tasks, Jiang Qiang looked at his watch and found that it was only 10:15 in the morning. He immediately felt moved and went back to the office to change into casual clothes and go shopping!
