Chapter 59

Once the adaptation plan of the 74th Army was finalized, a large number of personnel changes were followed.

Chairman Jiang's code of conduct throughout his life was to firmly grasp the military power. It is precisely because of the military power that Chairman Jiang could quickly recover after several losses or stepping down from power. If he wants to truly seize the military power, he must seize the appointment and removal of the military chief. The 74th Army is about to become a direct army of the Military Commission. Of course, the appointment and removal of the military chief officer cannot be interfered with. Even Yu Jishi, the first commander of the 74th Army, had only the right to suggest, but no decision-making power.

At this time, the Fuxing Society Operations Department led by Dai Li had been reorganized into the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics directly under the Military Commission, which is the so-called Military Control Commission. With the help of the Military Control Commission, Chairman Jiang quickly checked all the battalion commanders and above of the 74th Army. In addition, Chairman Jiang was already quite familiar with Wang Yaowu and Zhang Lingfu, a new list of chief officials was released soon.

In this list of Chairman Jiang, Yu Jishi will no longer serve as the commander of the 74th Army. The position of commander will be officially taken over by Deputy Commander Wang Yaowu. After Wang Yaowu was promoted to commander, the position of 5th Pei Chief vacant will be taken over by Deputy Commander Li Tianxia. After Li Tianxia was promoted to commander of the division, the position of brigade commander of the 153rd Brigade will be taken over by Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 305th Regiment.

Chairman Jiang is now in love with Zhang Lingfu, a student with a handsome appearance and talent. It is precisely because of Chairman Jiang's feelings that Dai Li appropriately beautified the case of killing his wife when investigating Zhang Lingfu's details. Zhang Lingfu's second wife Wu Hailan became a spy who steals confidential documents. Zhang Lingfu's murder was suspected of his wife's affair and became anger because of confidential stolen. Although there are too many obvious loopholes in the case file of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Chairman Jiang did not care about these at all. In his opinion, as long as Zhang Lingfu can lead troops, fight and look handsome, what is the point of killing a woman?

Therefore, Zhang Lingfu registered his title with Chairman Jiang, and then he became a leader. He was first promoted to the commander of the 58th Division, and then to the deputy commander of the 74th Army. After the War of Resistance Against Japan, he became confident and commander of the 74th Division of the Ace Royal Guard. Until he was shot dead by General Li Yu in Menglianggu, Chairman Jiang favored Zhang Lingfu very much.

The promotions of Wang Yaowu, Li Tianxia and Zhang Lingfu are not a problem. The question is how Feng Shengfa arranges it?

Chairman Jiang has already learned the whole story of the Wanjialing Victory through multiple channels. Although Chiang was mediocre in military affairs, at best, he was just an infantry regiment commander or artillery battalion commander, but he still had military common sense. If the 58th Division did not stand in front of the battle, there would never be the 5th Pride in the future.

In terms of contribution alone, the 58th Division even surpassed the 5th Pei, but the army has its own system, and the only benchmark for measuring military achievements is the number of capture and killing enemies. The Japanese helmets seized by the 5th Pei are piled up like mountains, and there are even more numerous equipment. In contrast, the 58th Division's capture is very rare.

More importantly, the 58th Division fought only more than 400 people in Wanjialing, and the original system had basically collapsed.

After repeated consideration, Chairman Jiang only gave Feng Shengfa a consolation prize, and was promoted from the commander of the 58th Division to the deputy commander of the 74th Army. At the same time, the position of commander of the 58th Division was taken over by Chen Shin-jin, the direct lineman of Fenghua. Therefore, Feng Shengfa was actually promoted openly and secretly. Although the deputy commander was half a square higher than the commander in his position, he lost his military power.

(Split Line)

After receiving a telegram from Chairman Jiang, Yu Jishi just sighed deeply.

At this time, Yu Jishi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He had known that he wouldn't have asked Feng Shengfa to come from the RR Division today. If Feng Shengfa had been in the DR Division, he would have been the commander of the legion with his qualifications. He would have been promoted to the commander of the army, but now, Feng Shengfa has even been deprived of military power.

What made Yu Jishi even more confused was that he didn't know how to tell Feng Shengfa.

Yu Jishi was confused. The adjutant came in to report that Feng Shengfa had arrived. Yu Jishi quickly calmed down and greeted the gate of the command center. Feng Shengfa got off from the jeep sent by Yu Jishi to pick up people. There was no abnormality on his face. He just saluted Yu Jishi upright and shouted to the military seat.

Yu Jishi replied, looked at Feng Shengfa for a few seconds, and then stepped forward and patted Feng Shengfa on the shoulder.

Feng Shengfa seemed to have realized something, and followed Yu Jishi into the room and comforted him: "Military throne, is it about to be a humble position?"

Yu Jishi didn't say anything, but just nodded silently.

Feng Shengfa asked again: "Promoted to deputy commander of the 74th Army?"

Yu Jishi looked up at Feng Shengfa in surprise, but Feng Shengfa smiled and said calmly: "Actually, this is also expected."

Feng Shengfa was indeed mentally prepared for this. On the one hand, the 58th Division played an important role in the battle of Wanjialing. It was impossible for him to go up to the top without any expression. But on the other hand, he could not compete with Wang Yaowu, who had already been named by Chairman Jiang, so it became inevitable to be promoted to deputy commander of the 74th Army.

Yu Jishi said again: "That Xu Shijiu, you probably have to make arrangements before you leave office. That guy Chen Shizheng doesn't even buy my face, and I'm afraid he won't give Xu Shijiu any good things to eat." With Yu Jishi's status, it's actually easy to arrange a small major battalion like Xu Shijiu, but he really doesn't want to worry about it.

Feng Shengfa was obviously stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Leaving office? Chen Shizheng?"

Feng Shengfa thought that he would be promoted to deputy commander of the 74th Army, but he did not expect that Chairman Jiang would no longer allow him to serve as the commander of the 58th Division, but instead appointed Chen Shizheng to be the commander of the division. Of course, Chen Shizheng knew Feng Shengfa, a classmate of Huangpu First Class, not only was Chen Shizheng, but his father also had a fortune in Fenghua with Chairman Jiang Yi. To be honest, Chen Shizheng's brand was even better than Yu Jishi.

Yu Jishi then realized that Feng Shengfa had been wrong just now, and sighed: "Brother Senfa, don't care too much. Although he is only a deputy commander at the moment, Wang Yaowu will be promoted to the commander of the army sooner or later, so the commander of the 74th Army will still be yours sooner or later. If you take a step back, even if you can't become the commander of the 74th Army, you will definitely be transferred to another army as commander."

Yu Jishi was almost making a promise to Feng Shengfa. The implication was that even if you could not be the commander of the 74th Army, I would definitely try every means to transfer you away and let you become the commander of my commander. Yu Jishi still valued friendship, and later he really fulfilled his promise and transferred Feng Shengfa to the RU Army as the commander.

Feng Shengfa quickly broke out of his loss and said casually: "Thank you for your kindness. If the military commander has no other instructions, I will go back and clean up and report to the military headquarters in the past." The Wanjialing victory was an unprecedented victory for the national army, but for the 58th Division, it was no less than a hardship of practicing prison. Through this hardship, Feng Shengfa suddenly understood a lot, and some things were definitely not something that his little commander could change.

After seeing off Feng Shengfa, Yu Jishi fell into a long silence. At this moment, Yu Jishi's heart was filled with loss.

When the 74th Army was just formed, the 58th Division was the absolute main force, and the 5th Pei was just a miscellaneous brand.

But now, how many veterans of the 58th Division brought out by Yu Jishi? The 5th Pei has become the unscrupulous main force of the 74th Army.

What made Yu Jishi feel even more disappointed was that the Military Commission had officially issued a statement. The 57th Division was about to re-enter the 74th Army, and the 74th Army was about to become the second elite army under the third division. After the defense of Changsha, the 74th Army will be replaced with the same Soviet-style equipment. It can be foreseen that the combat effectiveness of the 74th Army will usher in a complete improvement.

However, all of this has nothing to do with him.

Although the 74th Army is still in the battle sequence of the 36th Army, there have been rumors from it that after Changsha’s replacement of Soviet-style equipment and briefly trained, the 74th Army will leave the battle sequence of the 36th Army and become the strategic reserve army directly under the Central Military Commission. The 74th Army will become the first strategic reserve army of the Central Military Commission.
