Chapter 152 Officer System
"Let's take a break first!" Wei Hanchao looked into the distance and frowned. Since they attacked the Japanese airport, they have been staring at them by the Japanese.
He had just met Meng Xiang's telegram and didn't say anything about it. If he were there, he would definitely raise such an obvious thing. When he thought of Tang Yaoshi's chubby smile, he couldn't help but smile and murmured to himself: "I underestimate me too much, fighting with them is boring!"
"You lead people southward and cross the Yellow River to return to the Pioneer Army headquarters. I will continue to mobilize the Japanese's appetite!" Wei Hanchao told Niu Shi, Fu Yucheng and others.
Although Fu Yucheng joined the Pioneer Army and became the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion of the ** regiment, he was still taciturn than Shiba. He nodded lukewarmly to Wei Hanchao's order. However, another newly sealed sixth battalion commander, He Banshan, shouted: "Although our family is not familiar with the surroundings, I didn't say anything about going to the battlefield to fight the Japanese. Take me with me. Otherwise, you are too few people, right?"
Wei Hanchao smiled and said, "There are already a lot of 400 people, so it is more flexible and mobile. You have to bring more than 2,000 old and weak, so be careful!" The Ba Shi beside him nodded slightly. This time, Wei Hanchao transferred all the six battalion commanders who were enfeoffed, leaving only 300 cloned soldiers and the newly selected 100 elites. After getting rid of more and more burdens, they became safer.
"Yes!" Niu Shi had no other words, but just accepted the order. This is what Wei Hanchao admired the most about these security soldiers.
Watching their mighty men walk away, Wei Hanchao narrowed his eyes and turned to laugh and said, "Looking north, let's explore the Beiping Imperial City together!"
At this time, Meng Xiang was worried about the military organization. With the organization and people, there were also many weapons. The arrangement of this officer made Meng Xiang worry, there were too few senior officers.
"Huang Huamin is not suitable for serving as a division commander at this time. He lacks a lot of common sense about advanced strategies!" Fan Zhong said directly. He is very familiar with Huang Huamin, and has taught Huang Huamin military knowledge and has a very good understanding of his level. "If he serves as the regiment commander, he will be feasible for two years. But being promoted to a division commander will only harm him! He needs systematic training."
There was no one else in the room, only Meng Xiang, Fan Zong and Tang Yaoshi, so Fan Zong spoke mercilessly as the commander of the half-team. The mistake Huang Huamin made on the Eastern Front two days ago was a very obvious example. The fighter plane could not be caught, and it was even more fatal in the overall strategic situation. After the intensive experiment that Meng Xiang praised was spread, it attracted a lot of criticism. At that time, the people across the country actively supported the anti-Japanese war and donated the accumulated few oceans, but Huang Huamin's waste of ammunition angered many people.
He even took the blame for Meng Xiang, which led to Meng Xiang's proposal to make him a teacher, but Fan Zhong directly rejected it. At this time, Huang Huamin came to power, which undoubtedly caused public anger.
"If we want to make a real statement, the domestic officers can be concentrated in the four corpses at this time." Fan Zhong also knew about Meng Xiang's affairs. He chose Huang Huamin for compensation, and the other was also a matter of having no choice.
"The Huangpu Group is the most popular one. Chiang Kai-shek started his career here and gained the loyalty of a large number of Huangpu students with his title as the principal. However, their patriotism is evident, but their military literacy is not good for short-term training." Fan Zhong continued to say that for the current popular senior officials of the Huangpu Group, due to the environment at that time, short-term military training really couldn't learn much, but they just rely on their passion and slow accumulation on the battlefield to succeed step by step.
"The military foundation is unstable, and it is OK to deal with bandits and militias. It is a little worse against the Japanese. However, there are a group of rising stars among their later students! It's a pity that it's always inappropriate for military personnel to interfere in politics!" Fan Zhong shook his head and said.
Meng Xiang, who received education in the later world, had a positive opinion on this.
At this time, most of the most popular students were students in the first three periods of Huangpu. They had only received short-term training and occupied the military power of the Central Army, the Chiang Kai-shek Group. Not only did they squeeze out outsiders, but they didn't even have much chance to stand out. If it weren't for the great losses of the Anti-Japanese War Officer Group, even if they were excellent, they would have to survive for a few more years.
However, it was the rise of Huangpu's third phase that made Chiang Kai-shek feel the importance of balance. The students of the third phase not only followed his instructions, even those who stayed were not as good as those who only recognized him as the principal in the next few phases. Deng Yanda was executed two years ago in order to eliminate the troubles of his confidant.
In recent years, under the intentional inclination of Chiang Kai-shek, Huangpu students in the third phase have gradually received more opportunities for promotion. But after all, there are still a large number of talents who have not received enough attention. Meng Xiang's calculations are aimed at these people. After all, there are more names I have heard in later generations and know some of the foundation.
"Wang Yaowu, Hu Lian, Zhang Lingpu, who else?" Meng Xiang lowered his head and pondered. He had always envied the memories of other time travelers, but he just couldn't remember them. "After a while, I need to ask Shi Er to collect a complete list of officers and read them according to the list. I always have a flash of inspiration and remember a few more. But I may not necessarily be attracted!"
He couldn't help but remember the fact that he was rejected when he extended an olive branch to Wang Yaowu some time ago, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"The one that is standing together is Baoding Department. The students from Baoding Military Academy have the best military quality." Fan Zhong continued proudly, "Baoding alumni are all over the country. Although Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, Li Jishen, Tang Shengzhi, Liu Xiang and others are from Baoding, they all violated the school rules and became warlords. Even Chiang Kai-shek is a student in the crash course. The students from Baoding have the most basic knowledge and skills. You can understand the background of Baoding by just looking at Ye Ting, Fu Zuoyi, Bai Chongxi, Xue Yue and others."
"Most of Baoding alumni are politically neutral, and a few juniors are quite outstanding. I don't know if they can come here." Fan Zhong said uncertainly.
Most of the early Baoding alumni he knew were in high positions, and some elementary school students also became pillars of the army. Although the Pioneer Army had an army-level organization, they were only given a brigade position, which was similar to their current position, and some were not as good as theirs. In addition, he had been in a downtown area for many years, and I don’t know if he could recruit them.
"I heard that some time ago, Mr. Baili went to Europe as a special envoy to lobby countries and is coming back soon!" Tang Yaoshi suddenly interrupted.
Meng Xiang felt a little moved when she heard this. She looked at the smiling face of Yaoshi Tang, opened her mouth but said nothing. Instead, Fan Zhong sighed beside her and said, "I haven't seen my mentor for a long time!"
"Other domestic military academies, such as Yunnan, Fengtian, Tianjin, Chengdu, etc., cannot compete with Baoding and Huangpu, but there are also many materials that can be made. When the Japanese invasions invade, the situation of warlord separatism in various places will be broken. When talents emerge in large numbers, you can recruit one or two at the right time."
Fan Zong briefly pointed out this, because the major warlords had extremely high means of winning over people, either loyalty, affection, or high officials and generous salaries. Since they were not taken away by Chiang Kai-shek, the possibility of the vanguard army being attracted was even smaller.
"Since the late Qing Dynasty, more and more Chinese soldiers have studied military affairs abroad. People studying in Germany, France, the United States, and even the Soviet Union, and Japan have many outstanding people. They have a high level of education and high military literacy. They also have a stronger sense of being a country, and they can also recruit one or two."
He didn't say anything, and these turtles who received new education were still somewhat alienated and conflicted with the terribly genius. The most typical one was Sun Liren, who was proud and a little out of place with the Huangpu Group, which led to some misfortunes in the future.
In his previous life, Meng Xiang was still very moved by hearing about Sun Liren, but unfortunately he couldn't recruit him.
Meng Xiang is familiar with that the most concentrated returnees is the Tax Police Corps.
In the continuous contact with the wounded, the Pioneer Army was familiar with Wen Yingxing, director of the National Wounded Soldier Management Committee. This was the first leader of the Tax Police Corps and the first Chinese to graduate from the West Point Military Academy in the United States. Chen Tingjia, who was with him, was not as famous as Wen Yingxing in his later generations because of his achievements.
Zhao Shuxing, who was in charge of contact with the vanguard army, thus contacted Wang Geng, the second leader of the Tax Police Corps. However, during the 1922-2018 Shanghai Defense Battle, he was falsely arrested as a spy because he accidentally entered the hands of the Japanese army and leaked the documents he carried with him. He was later idle.
In terms of ability, Wang Geng was all-round in civil and military affairs, and when he was proud, he had Lu Xiaoman's beautiful wife as his companion. After all, he could only say that luck was a mess. However, after the accident, he was depressed and in a state of freedom.
Meng Xiang, who received the information, immediately realized that this was an opportunity and asked Zhao Shuxing to keep in touch with him. He heard that his attitude had loosened in recent days.
Meng Xiang also knows Zhao Junmai, but unfortunately, according to the investigation results of Shi Er, he is now the director of the Hunan Salt Bureau, with his brother's support behind him. He is afraid that it is not easy to recruit. But he still has to give it a try. Meng Xiang is still very interested in this famous American martial arts master mentioned in later talks.
Fan Zong only talked about the four major systems of domestic officers. In fact, there was another one he didn't say, that was a self-made officer who got up step by step from the bottom. They may not have the military knowledge of the system, but the experience gained from gunfire is more real and precious. Some people are born with generals, and their keen feelings and the training of the battlefield have already made them have the possibility of becoming famous generals.
This is true for many generals in Beiyang. In the past, the cold weapons era, there were many similar famous generals. They all gradually grew into famous generals through the experience of fighting in the sea of blood.
"I seem to have left a seat for Huang Baitao!" Meng Xiang suddenly thought of Huang Baitao who had never made a name for himself.
