Chapter 39 The Central Army Enters Sichuan (continued)
He is wearing a dark green tweed-quality school uniform, with two bars and a triangle star on the collar. His face is deliberately shaved, and he looks handsome and energetic.
"Battery Commander, everything is packed." Orderman Wang Xiaoshuan ran in and interrupted Chen Xiuwen, who was narcissistic and fantasizing, who had just changed into a brand new major uniform, who had just changed into a narcissistic and fantasy.
"Okay, go and go to the regiment headquarters to report."
Chen Xiuwen was promoted to major and appointed as battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 528th Regiment. Today is the day when Chen Xiuwen takes office on the first day, and he must first go to the regiment headquarters to report.
As soon as he walked out, he found that the agent company commander Zhang Zhengjie, the second platoon leader Cheng De'an, the third platoon leader Huang Likui, and the newly promoted first platoon leader Peng Hui were all standing in the yard.
"Zhang Zun, you just left like that. No, I would say hello to the brothers, right?" Cheng Dean came up first and said with a smile.
"Barring, my battalion is only three miles away from here. In the future, the battalion has poor food. I will still come over to have dinner with my brothers. Why don't you say hello?" Chen Xiuwen pushed Cheng De'an and cursed with a smile.
"Zhang Zu, you often come to have dinner, otherwise I feel very uncomfortable." Huang Likui also said from the side.
"Oh, I said, you Huang Likui with a turtle lid, why did you learn to flatter? You must have learned to be bad with Cheng Dean." Chen Xiuwen turned his head and said to Huang Likui with a smile.
"Zheng, I didn't flatter you. I'm just telling the truth. But, after all, if you leave, then the food expenses of your brothers will be a problem next month." Huang Likui grabbed his head and said with a wink.
"Damn it, you kid is thinking about this. OK, let the chief of staff come here every month from now on." Chen Xiuwen patted Huang Likui's head and said with a smile.
The newly appointed platoon commander Peng Hui did not look like Cheng Dean. Huang Likui stepped forward and saluted Chen Xiuwen, saying, "Greatly send him the battalion commander."
Chen Xiuwen also replied with a salute and said with a serious look: "Thank you Comrade Peng Hui."
Peng Hui was shocked. Although the Kuomintang also called each other comrades, Chen Xiuwen's tone was completely GCD, and he hurriedly said: "Battery Commander, I am already a national army."
Chen Xiuwen laughed and patted Peng Hui on the arm and said, "Old Peng, everyone is brother, relax. By the way, after I get to the camp to sort out my work, you have to help me train the brothers of the Second Company and the Third Company."
Peng Hui grabbed the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "Battery Commander, as long as you speak, I, Old Peng, can do whatever you want."
Zhang Zhengjie looked at all this silently, and secretly thanked that he did not have a quarrel with Chen Xiuwen a month ago. In his opinion, Chen Xiuwen was not only capable, but also had great personal charm. He gathered his brothers' hearts together in just one month. However, what moved him even more was that after Chen Xiuwen was promoted to battalion commander, the regiment commander Zhu Chi asked Chen Xiuwen to nominate a company commander. Without mentioning the ready-made deputy company commander, Chen Xiuwen was nominated. Zhang Zhengjie was very clear about the meaning of this. But what surprised Zhang Zhengjie was that Chen Xiuwen did not nominate his brother Cheng Dean, but immediately proposed to take over as company commander. Zhang Zhengjie felt ashamed of this kind of mind.
"Zhengjie, I have already said that the leader of the group will come down a few days after the formal appointment. You will be named as an agent for the time being." Chen Xiuwen finally walked to Zhang Zhengjie and said with a smile.
"Thank you for the battalion commander's cultivation." Zhang Zhengjie saluted Chen Xiuwen very seriously for the first time.
Chen Xiuwen accepted it calmly. He knew that Zhang Zhengjie was officially loyal to him at this moment. Zhang Zhengjie, who had already become the commander of the lieutenant general ten years later, was also very glorious. He often told his subordinates that if he had made up his mind to follow the commander, Zhang Zhengjie would not know where he was. Maybe he had already turned into a wisp of smoke on the battlefield and would not have the glory he had today.
Since the transfer of grassroots officers from the entire 88th Division was relatively large, in addition to a deputy battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 528th Regiment, the company commander of the 2nd Company and the 3rd Company were also just transferred from the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps. Both company commanders graduated from the eighth class of the Central Military Academy. When they were not yet graduated from the military academy, they had already heard of the name of Chen Xiuwen. Moreover, Chen Xiuwen was a big source and was said to be promoted by the division commander, so even though a junior came to be the battalion commander, they were still willing to accept it.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zheng Huaishan was in his early thirties and did not talk much. Chen Xiuwen originally thought that this character who looked very private from the perspective of later Shanghai people was easy to get along with, and he was honestly fulfilled his orders. Later, after inquiring, he found out that Zheng Huaishan was an old corps with more than ten years of military experience. He was already the company commander of the First Army during the Northern Expedition, but later he was almost shot to death for embezzling military salaries. Fortunately, one of his old commanders came forward to protect him. Over the years, many of his subordinates had already been battalion commanders, but Zheng Huaishan had been depressed because of this stain, and he is still just a major deputy battalion commander.
Chen Xiuwen was still very sympathetic to Zheng Huaishan's experience. But this is good. People's will often become depressed, smooth, and worldly after suffering the difficulties of the world. After taking office, Zheng Huaishan actively cooperated with his work without any resistance, it can be seen that such a person is very worried about a second fall. Of course, he dare not offend a newcomer with a deep background and a strong backstage, but he has to try his best to curry favor with him. Moreover, Zheng Huaishan's work ability is quite good, which saves Chen Xiuwen a lot of thoughts. For such a deputy with strong abilities, cunning and working ability, Chen Xiuwen must win over more. At least he has helped him a lot so far. Maybe one day he will be useful.
Soon, the division headquarters ordered the formal promotion of Chen Xiuwen's training method, especially Chen Xiuwen's original 400-meter obstacle run. The second and third companies of the first battalion were naturally close to the water. Long before the order was issued, the two company commanders had already gone to the first company to learn from the scriptures and carry out the training in their company. After all, everyone belonged to the same company, and no one wanted to fall in the end. The training of the three companies also showed a trend of chasing each other.
Before he knew it, time entered 1935. The front line often heard good news about encirclement and elimination of the Red Army. Chen Xiuwen did not take these good news containing moisture to heart, because he knew that the Red Army had arrived in northern Shaanxi through the Long March and finally preserved it.
Because the three company commanders under his command were obedient, the deputy battalion commander Zheng Huaishan was quite capable, and the work in the battalion gradually came on track, and Chen Xiuwen became idle. With the Long March of the Red Army in Jiangxi, the Nanchang camp was abolished in the early 30s and 1st year. Huangpu was born in the first phase and was trusted by the chairman. Chen Xiude, who was a fellow villager, was transferred back to Nanjing to serve as the leader of the first and second teams of the attendant room. The promotion of the eldest brother was good news for Chen Xiuwen, at least he would have much better information in the future.
It happened to be on vacation this day. Since I reported to the 88th Division of General Mountain in November last year, Chen Xiuwen has not entered Nanjing City for almost three months. Now that the eldest brother has been transferred back, the two brothers have not seen each other for almost a year, Chen Xiuwen decided to go to the city to see the eldest brother.
"The second brother is here, why aren't you here with me?" As soon as she entered the door, her sister-in-law He Zhenru came up enthusiastically. When she saw Chen Xiuwen entering the door alone, she asked in surprise.
Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but be stunned. He had never seen him since he broke up with Yu Wenwan last time. Calculated the time, Yu Wenwan had graduated from Jinling Women's College half a month ago. Although Yu Wenwan once said that he wanted to stay in Nanjing to teach, Chen Xiuwen had not received any news from Yu Wenwan. In addition, the end of the year is approaching, Chen Xiuwen thought that Yu Wenwan had returned to his hometown in Ningbo.
"This, sister-in-law, I heard that my elder brother is back. I'm not happy, so I came directly from the military camp and haven't had time to go home yet." Chen Xiuwen was not sure about Yu Wenwan's situation, so he found a reason to say.
"Second brother, this is your fault. Last time I met my younger brother and sister on the street, and I heard that you never came home after graduation. I asked you two, what happened to you? Is there any conflict? Tell my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law will help you persuade your younger brother and sister." He Zhenru said with a caring look on his face.
"No, there is really no conflict. I've just been out of the army. I'm mainly too busy. I'll go home later." Chen Xiuwen quickly said to He Zhenru with a smile.
"The liberation is here."
At this time, Chen Xiude came out of the study. Chen Xiuwen finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked towards his elder brother, smiling and said, "Brother, congratulations on Rongsheng."
I haven't seen him for nearly a year. Chen Xiude's good complexion is probably related to his success in the official career. He smiled and said, "What's the promotion? It's just that the principal asked me to change jobs." He said, pointing to the rank of major on Chen Xiuwen's collar, and said with relief: "You're doing a good job. You're the major battalion commander less than three months after graduation, and you're promoted faster than Song Mengguo back then."
Although Song Xilian was the youngest in the first phase of Huangpu, his promotion speed was second only to Hu Zongnan, who was the first to become a general, the first to become a military commander, and the first to be promoted to general.
After the two brothers sat down, Chen Xiuwen was worried that his elder brother would also ask about Yu Wenwan, so he quickly took the initiative to say, "Brother, this year, I think we two brothers can't go back. Why don't we take our father and sister to Nanjing for the New Year."
Chen Xiude looked at Chen Xiuwen and sighed, "You can't go back during the New Year, your 88th Division will soon change your defense."
Chen Xiuwen had nothing else to fear most, but was being transferred to encircle and suppress the Red Army. When he heard the word "change defense", he felt nervous and hurriedly said, "change defense? Where to go?"
"Recently, the GD Central Organization is moving closer to Sichuan, and Zhang Guotao and Xu Xiang's front division, who are entrenched on the Sichuan-Shaanxi border, have also frequently invaded our northern Sichuan region, and they are meeting with the GD Central Organization. The principal is worried that Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui and other troops in Sichuan will not be able to stop the Red Army, so he plans to send the Central Army to Sichuan. Your 88th Division is the first batch."
"Fight the Red Army? I don't want to go to the Chinese." Chen Xiuwen said reluctantly when he heard that he was indeed going to encircle and suppress the Red Army.
Chen Xiude smiled and said, "I know you don't want to fight a civil war, and you are dedicated to the Japanese. Don't worry, you will not meet the Red Army this time. The war will depend on Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui and others. You are stationed in Wanxian County, east of Sichuan for 88 things."
Chen Xiuwen understood that he had transferred the Central Army into Sichuan in the name of suppressing the Communist Party, in fact, to monitor the Sichuan Army. However, when he heard that the 88th Division was stationed in Wanxian County in the east of Sichuan this time, he felt a sudden change.
