Chapter 28: Family Affairs, Military Affairs, World Affairs (Part 2)
"Standing attentively, salute."
The second battalion of the supplementary regiment composed of exiled male students was arranged in small squares in a row, accepting Cheng Jiaji's inspection. One by one, his faces full of enthusiasm and childishness flashed through Cheng Jiaji's face.
‘These young students who have been to join the army and are full of ambitions to serve the country have the purest minds!’
Cheng Jiaji sighed in his heart that when he saw these passionate young men who were full of ambition to save the country and were determined to fight the Japanese invaders on the battlefield, he felt much better.
"How many people are there in the supplementary regiment now, and have all the light and heavy weapons been sent? How are these military trainings for soldiers?" Cheng Jiaji whispered to Liu Yicheng beside him.
Cheng Jiaji came here not just to feel the patriotic enthusiasm of young people, but to investigate the real situation of the supplementary group.
"Reporting to the brigade, the supplementary regiment has 1,212 people. The regiment directly has a machine gun company, a guard platoon, a bandage station, a cavalry platoon, and a communication platoon. The regiment has two infantry battalions under its jurisdiction. Each battalion has three infantry companies and a machine gun platoon and a cavalry communication squad, with about 400 people per battalion. The first battalion was originally ten times out of ten.
Most of the independent battalion of the Sixth Army's Left-Back Office was adapted and its combat effectiveness was good. Although the training results of the second battalion in the past few days were good, these student soldiers had been in the army for too short time. Although they were assigned to the veteran company to train together every day, they still could not achieve combat effectiveness in a short period of time. According to the organization, all the light and heavy weapons and ammunition in the entire regiment were already fully distributed the day before yesterday."
(The female barracks have been directly under the brigade department.)
Liu Yicheng carefully answered his chief's question with a strict look. His answer was very detailed, but there was a hint of unconcealed depression in his eyes.
Liu Yicheng has now been appointed as the deputy commander of the Supplementary Regiment (Cheng Jiaji is temporarily the leader of the Supplementary Regiment himself.) All this happens today makes him still feel a little scared. This overseas Chinese who graduated from West Point Military Academy in the United States and served as the deputy company commander of the platoon commander and deputy company commander of the US military is familiar with leading troops. However, he has never experienced such premeditated internal cleaning of the army. This kind of thing has never been seen in the US military.
At four o'clock this morning, the Brigade Headquarters came and asked the Supplementary Regiment to transfer the combat-capable First Battalion in the regiment to the 199th Regiment to the 199th Regiment to monitor the movements of the 3rd Battalion of the 199th Regiment. The order also stated that if the 3rd Battalion of the 199th Regiment violated the order that the 199th Regiment was not allowed to go out, the 1st Battalion of the Supplementary Regiment would be ordered to carry out forceful suppression.
When Liu Yicheng received the order, he thought that the 199th Regiment had an army that wanted to mutiny or surrender to the enemy, but it was just a scheduling action within the army to unify military power. This kind of enemy's current openness to eliminate the differences made Liu Yicheng, who was born in Nanyang and worked as an officer in the United States, not understanding it, but also affected his impression of Cheng Jiaji's original good view.
How could Cheng Jiaji not feel that the only "returnee" officer in the brigade was in a bad mood? He had high expectations for this young officer and would not let him continue to be confused like this.
"Zi Jun, go, go to your regiment headquarters." Cheng Jiaji had almost finished reading what he wanted to see. He pulled Liu Yicheng away. The two of them walked towards the regiment headquarters of the supplementary regiment accompanied by several staff officers.
"Zi Jun, do you think I am also an incompetent warlord who holds troops and respects the civil war and is an incompetent warlord!"
After Cheng Jiaji sent away those unrelated people, he asked with a smile to Liu Yicheng, who was sitting opposite him.
"The brigade's record on the Taierzhuang battlefield is obvious to all. The independent brigade's army is very powerful, and this incompetent hat cannot be deducted from the brigade."
After all, he was young and energetic and couldn't hide his words! Liu Yicheng answered this sentence respectfully on the surface, but in his heart he was pointing at Cheng Jiaji's nose and calling him a warlord.
"You! You are still too young, and just returned to China, and don't understand the current situation of China. Now that there is a military in China, there are everything. Can politicians here come to power? It is not like the United States, but how many voters vote for him, but how many troops support him. In this case, everyone will hold on to the military power tightly and refuse to let go. I am not a god, how can I avoid the vulgarity! If I don't deal with it decisively before things are out of control, it is really time to get overwhelmed, and I want to solve it without bleeding like today?"
(Cheng Jiaji said that he was young, but in fact he was not as good as Liu Yicheng. But since he returned to this time and space, he has experienced too many things than Liu Yicheng. As people have experienced more things, their experience will naturally increase. He said that these are not too timid.)
Cheng Jiaji watched Liu Yicheng listening carefully to what he said, and was moved, and he rushed while the iron was hot and continued: "Maybe I will become a warlord in the end, but one thing I can guarantee is that I, Cheng Jiaji, will never be vague in my life, on the two major issues of safeguarding national interests and resisting foreign aggression!"
"Think about these words today! The troops will soon be taken to the northern suburbs for training for more than half a month. At that time, I will take special care of your regiment's second battalion. I will use this battalion as a teaching battalion in the future."
After saying that, Cheng Jiaji felt that there was no need to stay here, so he left the rest of the time for Liu Yicheng to think about it himself. He stepped out of the replenishment team of the replenishment group (Cheng Jiaji has a lot of things to do today.) And as he expected, Liu Yicheng was immersed in the messy thoughts after he left.
It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon when Cheng Jiaji returned to the voyage department. Today he had to deal with the issue of whom the vacant positions were empty after Yu Juncai and his confidants were squeezed out.
"Brigate, the list of officer appointments has been drafted according to your wishes and you will review it."
Gao Shiying was also very scared this time. Cheng Jiaji, the immediate boss who always smiled at his subordinates, quickly cut the mess without venting with anyone, and solved Yu Juncai, who was deeply rooted in the 199th Regiment. This shocked all the officials and masters of the Independent One Hundred Brigade, including Gao Shiying, and his awe for Cheng Jiaji also increased in geometric numbers. It should be said that from this incident, the people from the Independent One Hundred Brigade understood that there can only be one core in the Independent One Hundred Brigade, Cheng Jiaji, Cheng Dalu.
Gao Shiying felt a little more heart-wrenching than others. In the late stage of the Taierzhuang War, he and Yu Juncai were still close in private. Although the two did not engage in any real conspiracy, Gao Shiying knew very well about Yu Juncai's purpose of winning over him, and Gao Shiying also had the intention of getting along between Cheng and Yu.
But who would have thought that Cheng Jiaji would be so ruthless and so extreme, and would completely dismantle Yu Juncai's power within one day.
Gao Shiying had this heart disease in his heart, and he became even more timid in Cheng Jiaji.
"After reporting to the war zone, we will make it clear that these personnel appointments will be announced tomorrow afternoon. Also, let the Advisory Office immediately set up a plan to mix and mix the 199th Regiment and the 200th Regiment with the infantry company as the basic unit. This time, the direct special forces of the two regiments will not be moved. Brother Songmin, it seems that you will be troubled to rush to get out today." After reading the personnel appointment, Cheng Jiaji politely asked Gao Shiyingke.
(The special forces here refer to non-infantry troops such as artillery, cavalry, and communications, and not special forces in the army later.)
For Cheng Jiaji, there is no need to read this personnel order again, and he can recite it. The most important content is to support Xing Yusheng, the former deputy commander of the 199th Regiment, and to draw six officers from the 200th Regiment to take the important positions vacant from the 199th Regiment. As for those vacant and less important positions, then we should be promoted from the 199th Regiment to the original position. To clean up a battle, we must leave some benefits to those officers with relatively neutral positions, so that it can also stabilize people's hearts.
Cheng Jiaji thought that since he had already taken the blame for excluding other people, he would do his job thoroughly and simply take this opportunity to mess up the two main groups. In this way, the troops below would not have any more phenomena in a short period of time, as the 199th Regiment had a large-scale grouping situation.
Anyway, in his training plan, he had to pull the troops out to the suburbs to train for more than half a month, and then get it done during the training.
When Gao Shiying heard that Cheng Jiaji was going to take this opportunity to disrupt the infantry organization of the two regiments with the company as the basic unit, Gao Shiying suddenly felt an inexplicable chill on his body. Cheng Jiaji was getting more and more powerful!
Looking at Gao Shiying's back, Cheng Jiaji sneered in his heart.
Gao Shiying had already noticed that he had fought with Yu Juncai a few days ago. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have taken action against Juncai so quickly. I think after Yu Juncai was solved this time, Gao Shiying should be more honest. If he was a little restless, don't blame yourself for solving it with him.
After finishing these official duties that are really unhappy, Cheng Jiaji was about to leave the voyage department.
Xu Shenzuo from the commander-in-chief of the theater commander-in-chief called again.
