Chapter 960: Du Guangting takes office(1/2)
Du Guangting only took a day and a half to arrive from Xiangtan to Xinxiang, and his urgency was shocking.
"Senior Guangting, I have heard of the name for a long time. Welcome, welcome!"
"Guangting salutes the military throne!" Du Guangting got out of the car, and did not look down on Leng Feng because he was an old qualification or a lieutenant general. Instead, he saluted Leng Feng first according to the rules of meeting with superiors and subordinates.
"I dare not be a good person. If Senior Guangting can come to Leng Feng's small temple, it will be so bright." Leng Feng smiled and said, "I am not very good at speaking, senior, please forgive me."
"We are polite to the military officer." Du Guangting nodded slightly. He would respect those who are capable even if they are young.
The army is a world where strength is respected, and true soldiers respect the strong.
"Senior Guangting, please!"
"Martial throne, please."
"This is Xie Jiyuan, the Chief of Staff of the New First Army." Leng Feng personally introduced some senior officers of the New First Army to Du Guangting. Some Du Guangting knew him, some of whom were not familiar with him. Many people met for the first time.
"Chief of Staff Xie."
"Hello, senior." Xie Jiyuan is a student of the fourth phase of Huangpu. In the new first army, he is relatively old among the generals of the Huangpu Group, but he is still a little tenderer than Du Guangting, the first phase of Huangpu Group.
"I have long heard of the feat of the Chinese people's adherence to the four abilities, and Guangting admires them!" Du Guangting said solemnly.
"Anti-Japanese and killing enemies is the responsibility of our soldiers."
"Well said."
"Liao Sen, Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the New First Army, Director of Tiexi Camp."
"Liao Jianchu, I have heard of you, a top student who studied in France." Du Guangting looked at Liao Sen with a bright look and formed the 200th Mechanized Division. The chief of staff he wanted was Liao Sen. What he studied at the Saint-Sill Military Academy in France was mechanized combat.
Since the fall of Nanjing, Liao Sen has been under Leng Feng's command. Could it be that the New First Army's armored cluster charge tactics were made by him?
However, Liao Sen was not the commander of the New First Army Armored Brigade, but was just the chief of staff, which was a bit strange.
In short, when coming to the New First Army, Liao Sen, the junior brother, is also one of the people he has to make friends with.
"Liang Dong, the acting mayor of Xinxiang City, is also the chief of staff of the 202nd Division!"
"I've met Deputy Chief Du."
Du Guangting nodded. He had heard of the name Liang Dong. The general under Leng Feng was originally just an unknown small platoon leader. He grew up into a brave general. He grew up so fast that he almost followed Leng Feng.
"Wu Xinhua, Deputy Commander of the 202nd Division."
"Welcome Deputy Chief Du." Wu Xinhua is now also entitled to the rank of major general. Although he was once the Sichuan Army, he has no more to do with the Sichuan Army.
"Deputy Commander Wu." Du Guangting also reached out and grabbed it.
Finally, Leng Feng’s old commander, Xie Chengrui, the commander of the new 37th Brigade.
Although Xie Chengrui was not from Huangpu, he was from a famous family and also studied in France. He studied at the Fontainebleau Artillery School and is an expert in artillery.
The welcome banquet set up by Leng Feng for Du Guangting was much bigger than Xue Boling's scene. Xue Boling was simple and did not want the outside world to pay too much attention.
Du Guangting came to the New First Army to take up his new position, which is a good propaganda perspective. This shows the attitude of Shangfeng towards the New First Army and the support of Leng Feng, the director of the North Henan Administration.
Du Guangting didn't know that as soon as he set foot on the land in Xinxiang, he was used by Leng Feng.
Think about it, as soon as the Xinxiang newspaper comes out tomorrow, Du Guangting will serve as the deputy commander of the New First Army, which will undoubtedly be a deterrent effect on those who are still making small moves secretly.
Jiang Jiang even sent his confidant generals over. If this is not strong support, what is it?
As for the inside story, how much do these people who cannot reach the core of the upper class know?
The welcome was very grand, which made Du Guangting feel very proud. He was a little unhappy before, and he was embarrassed to mention it. After all, for that matter, he had a fuss about Xue Boling's headquarters in the East Henan First Corps and even filed a lawsuit with Chiang Kai-shek.
Although it did not have any impact on Leng Feng, after all, there was still a little rub before.
"Come on, everyone raises their glasses, let's toast senior Guangting!"
"Thank you, thank you for the reception of the military captain. Guangting is very grateful. In the future, everyone will work together. What is wrong with Guangting doing incorrectly? Please remind me and take care of it."
"Senior Guangting is polite."
"Senior Guangting, I'll give you a cup..."
"Senior Guangting..."
"Deputy Chief Du..."
...
After drinking and fighting, Du Guangting was exhausted all the way, and soon he was drunk and unconscious by the enthusiastic "school brothers" of the New First Army.
Du Guangting was carried into his room.
The headache was so painful that Du Guangting couldn't get up at once, so he lay down again, took a few deep breaths, and struggled to get up from the hard bed.
"Adminton Gao!"
"Hey!" A letter from outside the door agreed, and immediately after the door was pushed open, Adjutant Gao walked in from outside, "Sir Du, are you awake?"
"Go and get some water for me, I'll wash my face."
Adjutant Gao agreed and quickly ran out to fetch a basin of water. He had not forgotten to take a clean towel and brought it in.
"Adminton Gao, what time is it now?"
"It's almost eight o'clock."
"So, I slept for nearly ten hours this time?" Du Guangting said while washing his face.
"General Du, the New Army and other people are not kind-hearted. They get you drunk as soon as they come. This is to give you a warning." Adjutant Gao said with a angrily voice.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's fine if we don't appreciate it. We'll even say bad things about others behind their backs, which is not authentic." Du Guangting scolded.
"You have complained to the superiors before. This time you came to the New First Army to serve, and you took the initiative. I don't take the opportunity to give you some good things. Don't look at them calling you "senior", they may not take you seriously in their hearts."
"How do you bastard say?" Du Guangting angrily threw the towel into the basin, and the water inside splashed out suddenly.
"Sir Du, be careful, don't be sold by others, and you'll count the money." Adjutant Gao knew Du Guangting's temper, so he was not so scared. He walked over, picked up the basin and walked out.
Du Guangting was stunned for a moment, thought about Adjutant Gao's words for a moment, and was said that although he was a little bit villainous, it was not unreasonable.
People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows what these people think?
However, he also worked all the way from the grassroots level. He is really not afraid of these things such as "predictiveness". If even a group of backward juniors can't be surrendered, would he be embarrassed to regard himself as a "senior"?
"Is Deputy Commander Du here?"
"Here, who are you?" Du Guangting agreed and saw a young lieutenant colonel officer standing at the door with a very sunny smile.
"Hello, Deputy Commander Du, I am Fang Xiaoyang, secretary of the Secretary-General of the North Henan Administration." Fang Xiaoyang saluted, "Deputy Commander Du just came, and today I will accompany you to learn about the situation of the New First Army."
"Oh, okay, thank you Secretary Fang."
"Deputy Commander Du hasn't eaten breakfast yet, let's start from the canteen of the military headquarters." Fang Xiaoyang said.
"good."
"The three meals are served regularly in the canteen of the military headquarters, but the level of the superior is not limited to time. Of course, this is not a privilege, mainly because the superiors work is irregular and sometimes all night, so the superiors' meal time is not fixed, especially when commanding battles."
"The New First Army's food principle is: officers and soldiers are consistent. Sometimes the food standards of soldiers are higher than those of general officers. This is to ensure the combat consumption and needs of soldiers. Breakfast is generally mainly porridge and steamed buns. Sometimes there are noodles and other pasta in the canteen of the government. They are not allowed to eat uniformly, but food must not be wasted. Everyone is the same, except for special reasons."
Du Guangting came to the canteen with clear windows and clean windows and was very surprised. Although the 200th Division was well-fed, the conditions in Xiangtan were very difficult, and it would be great if the officers and soldiers could have enough food.
Here, breakfast alone has many staple foods to choose from, and there are many side dishes to choose from, provided that it cannot be wasted.
“Eggs are available in a limited quantity, and each person can only have two pieces per day.”
"Two?"
The food standard of this group is too high. No one can do one person in the 200th Division. Two people a day. How much does it cost to eat?
Even the Japanese army's food is not so luxurious, right?
"Master Guo."
"Xiao Fang, why did you come so late today?"
"This is the new Deputy Commander Du from our New First Army. He will have dinner here in the future." Fang Xiaoyang introduced.
"Hello, Deputy Military Officer Du, I am the squad leader of the kitchen squad. Just call me Lao Guo." Lao Guo quickly saluted Du Guangting.
"Hello, squad leader Lao Guo."
"Deputy Commander Du, what are you going to eat?"
“Are there noodles?”
"Yes, Deputy Jung-seat Du, what noodles do you want to eat?"
"Just ordinary Yangchun noodles."
"Okay, wait a moment and come over immediately." Lao Guo agreed, "Secretary Fang, where are you?"
"Same."
In less than five minutes, two bowls of full-sized Yangchun noodles were served. Each person added a poached egg to the bowl and sprinkled with garlic flowers. A fragrance could be smelled from a distance.
Du Guangting was also hungry. He was just drinking last night. After all, a large bowl of noodles was in his stomach.
"Deputy Military Officer Du, do you want another bowl?" Seeing Du Guangting's attitude towards eating, Fang Xiaoyang asked kindly.
