This is also the fault of Cheng Jiaji, who is usually idle, for being so bad in front of his sister and brother-in-law.

When Xia Cheng heard that his younger brother wanted to go downstairs to lead the troops, he was very happy. She had always spoiled this younger brother and naturally wanted to make some progress.

She was very happy to take him in the first place.

But this little brother really doesn't have any military skills on weekdays, so he asked him to command a regiment, even in the eyes of this elder sister who has always been obedient to him and has to agree with him, it seems too ridiculous.

"If you want to continue to take the future and lead the soldiers for two days, it would be a good way. In this way, your brother-in-law will also promote you in the future. But this battle on the battlefield is not a joke. If a command is wrong, not only will hundreds of people lose their lives, but you may even lose your life. You have never led the soldiers, so you should be a deputy below first."

After saying these words, no matter how Cheng Jiaji begged and even used all the tricks of beating or acting cute, she would not let go of her words. She just promised to let him go to the division and brigade where he went to serve as a idle position such as deputy brigade commander, deputy chief of staff, and so on, which could be considered as a gilding.

When Cheng Jiaji saw this woman who cares most about him, he always felt the other person's strong motherhood. Although Cheng Jiaji was not the same as Cheng Jiaji, people's hearts were always fleshy. To be honest, Cheng Jiaji was still very grateful for Xia Cheng's care.

In desperation, he could only implement the second plan he had already thought of, so that he could only get a few confidants to use as much as possible.

So he proposed to ask Wen Songyuan and Gao Shiying to lead the troops to his subordinates, which was not much saliva. I think Miss Cheng was also worried about the safety of his baby brother. It was always a good thing for his confidants to bring some soldiers with him. At least there were enough people to protect him, so his life would not be so easy to lose on the battlefield, right?

As for Chang Jing’s request, Cheng Jiaji also mentioned it to his elder sister. At least he had accepted hundreds of bribes from others. He still said the rules in this scene, but his enthusiasm was several streets worse than his own.

Miss Cheng didn't say anything, but said that she would discuss this matter with Xia Weimin before making a decision. Anyway, Cheng Jiaji was not very concerned about this matter, but was just entrusted by someone to be loyal to others.

After all, his elder sister agreed to help him serve as a deputy in the army, but Xia Weimin, who has always been obedient to his wife, can be regarded as a model husband, but this time, it is very rare to refute the face of his Cheng family.

Xia Weimin thought that his brother-in-law really couldn't see any military talent. Out of his gratitude for helping him and the Yue family and his love for his wife, he was willing to let this unsuccessful brother-in-law keep scrambling to the military's fat and short military supplies department in the army. As long as Cheng Jiaji was not too much, he could still tolerate such trivial things as making some money in private.

He just asked this brother-in-law, who had never been to the military academy or even to the battlefield, to lead the troops. Even if he was just a deputy who could not take care of any specific matters, he would be worried.

In the end, the eldest lady of the Cheng family had a good idea of ​​her husband. Xia Weimin couldn't beat his wife with talent. Cheng Jiaji agreed to go to the place to gang up his qualifications, but he also made three rules with Miss Cheng.

First, Cheng Jiaji can only have the deputy brigade commander of any brigade who cannot participate in the daily supply of military supplies, such as logistics.

Second, once he set out on the battlefield to fight against the Japanese army, he could not guarantee that he could transfer Cheng Jiaji out of the battlefield in time, so he could only leave it to fate.

The third army is in danger, but at any time, Xia Weimin can treat Cheng Jiaji as his brother-in-law on the battlefield. It’s okay to say under his nose. If there are anything that cannot be taken care of in the troops I went to, don’t blame him for not saying hello first.

As long as Cheng Jiaji could agree to these conditions, he would let Cheng Jiaji go to the army to be the deputy brigade commander.

Xia Weimin thought that if his brother-in-law was either impulsive or fond of the troops below, he would give up as long as he mentioned these few points.

But what he expected was that his line did not scare Cheng Jiaji, so he could only fulfill his promise to give Cheng Jiaji a deputy brigade commander in the newly expanded troops.

The final result was that although Chang Jing got his wish and became the colonel brigade commander of the temporary 174th Brigade, most of his veterans were transferred away by Xia Weimin, the old fox. Not only were the veterans who were not very wary, but Cheng Jiaji, the brother-in-law of the military commander, became his deputy, restraining him openly and secretly.

These are nothing, and Chang Jing's most anger was that Cheng Jiaji's confidants Wen Songyuan, Gao Shiying and others became battalion commanders of the temporary 174th Brigade and had much more troops than him, the real brigade commander.

As for the old foundation of the original 7th Regiment, he could not command it for a while. It can be said that within a few days after taking office, Chang Jing found that the brigade commander of the 174th Brigade was nothing. Although he was the majestic commander of the 1st brigade, he actually acted as a senior messenger.

The only ones who could prohibit his orders were the brigade guard company and another battalion commanded by his old subordinates brought from the staff. The other troops either listened to Cheng Jiaji's greetings or were slanderous to him and Cheng Jiaji's orders.

In short, although Chang Jing still looks kind and calm on his face, he is really miserable in his bones.

He was not a petty person. Although he felt that he had been fooled by Cheng Jiaji, he did not resent Cheng Jiaji. He only blamed himself for despising others and underestimating Cheng Jiaji, a similar person who was a seemingly playboy.

Jiang Village next to Wu Town is a large village with five or six hundred families. The brigade headquarters of the 174th Brigade, the brigade directly under the brigade team, and the brigade headquarters and a battalion of the 348th Regiment and a battalion of the 348th Regiment are stationed in this village. It is not easy for 1,3400 people to crowd in this village. Thanks to the fact that several families in the village have ancestral halls, and the village office and small schools, these soldiers have lived there at least.

The situation was very critical after the fall of Jinan. The Supreme Commander urged the 16th Army to go north by a telegram a day. However, the Japanese army in the north of the Fifth War Zone did not move south quickly. The Japanese army in the south fought with the 51st Army and the 11th Army of the National Army in the Huaihe River. The Japanese army did not take any advantage on the Huaihe River front, and the military situation slowed down again.

The Military Commission made the 16th Army work hard to train for a period of time. After all, the Military Commission would not put the army that had not yet formed combat power into the battle before it was absolutely necessary. In that case, it would not only not help the situation in Xuzhou, but it would become a burden on the Fifth War Zone.

Of course, the Supreme Commander would not be heartbroken about the life and death of the 16th Army, but Xuzhou's gains and losses were related to the overall situation. The Chairman had to care about the 16th Army again. Not only did he let him rest and recuperate, but he directly allocated 500 new guns, twenty light machine guns and a batch of ammunition to the 16th Army from Wuhan.

The Military Commissioner also ordered the Third War Zone to allocate the 13 new recruits company of about 1,500 to the 16th Army, thus making the 16th Army's strength more than 18,000 troops and become a serious army.

Cheng Jiaji was not idle during the training session in Jiangcun. He went to various regiments and battalions all day long to fight with the officers below. Although the professional soldiers were not very considerate of this airborne boss who had never fought a war, they could not resist Cheng Jiaji's spending money on food and drinks. In addition, this little commander really had no airs and had a straightforward temper, but he had a little favor to the young boss.

Gradually, I had a choice to listen to Cheng Jiaji's words.
