- Chapter 289: Preparing for war
The reporters wrote brilliantly with various headlines, such as "The First World War pacified North China, Taihang changed the way," "In the midst of chatting and laughing, 20,000 bandits were wiped out in ashes, comparable to contemporary Zhou Lang," "The laughter and curses were all nonsense, and Taihang launched a surprise attack." ," "A good general in North China, a new hero of the party and the country," and so on.
There are also many female journalists who have written down their inner feelings with delicate brushstrokes, and their words of praise are reflected in their pens. Of course, there are also some pro-Japanese newspapers whose arguments are not so pleasant, such as "the blood of bandits stains the wilderness." , one battle will make you a general," etc.
Others made a fuss about the photo of Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting, insinuating that Mei Ting was the person in Tang Qiuli's darkroom, and even boldly speculated that the two had reached the point of discussing marriage.
Mei Ting was full of joy and was very interested in this kind of articles. She carefully collected these newspapers and carefully hid them in a place she thought was safe. When she had nothing to do, she would take them out and read them. She always had a smile on her face. Eyebrows hide spring.
Tang Qiuli didn't have time to pay attention to this. He knew very well that although he scolded loudly and expressed the evil anger in his heart, the Japanese could not be driven away with words alone. Even so, they could not kill people after all. , what really works is the guy in your hand.
He plunged into army training, recruiting new soldiers, and the 29th Army was reorganizing. With Song Zheyuan's consent, he abolished the first-level establishment of the 29th Army's middle brigade and dismissed a group of old, weak, and misdemeanor soldiers. In order to eliminate the false and preserve the true, the army was reorganized into four divisions. Each division was under the jurisdiction of four reinforcement regiments and an artillery battalion. The cavalry brigade was retained separately and was directly under the military headquarters.
After reorganization, the strength of the 29th Army reached more than 47,000. Soldiers with good qualities were retained, and the treatment of soldiers was greatly improved. Although it was not as good as the treatment of the ** Division, it was not far behind.
Among them, the part where the treatment of soldiers in the army was improved from the original basis was provided by the Logistics Department of the ** Division. Song Zheyuan had no objection or courtesy at all. Sooner or later, the 29th Army belonged to Tang Qiuli, and he gave it to his soldiers Spend money, as you should.
The officers who are spared from the establishment form a military training group, which is responsible for the training and cultivation of grassroots non-commissioned officers.
In order to improve the combat coordination capabilities of the 29th Army and the ** Division, the two armies swapped deputy commanders at all levels and served in each other's armies for three months to learn and exchange their respective experiences.
This will be of great use. After serving in the ** Division for a period of time, the officers of the 29th Army were greatly impressed by the basic quality of the soldiers of the ** Division and the combat guiding ideology of the officers.
In front of them, a training method different from that of any army was displayed. New ideas and new perspectives constantly impacted the old concepts in their minds. The so-called, "The general is the courage of the soldiers." After these officers returned, they promoted the twenty-nine The army has undergone changes from top to bottom, and the atmosphere of the army has been updated day by day.
The officers of the ** Division who served in the 29th Army also benefited a lot. Looking at the outdated equipment of the army, it was more than a few grades behind the ** Division. The soldiers' simple thoughts and styles completely inherited Feng Yuxiang's General's old foundation of the Northwest Army.
Especially the machete team of the 29th Army. Every officer who is promoted is superior in swordsmanship. The soldiers are even armed with a machete made of betel iron. They are trained in swordsmanship and close combat. It is one of the main subjects of daily training for the army.
This is directly related to the poor foundation and poor equipment of the Northwest Army, the predecessor of the 29th Army, and there is nothing that can be done about it. The officers of the ** Division found that in the troops that focused on sword training, the bravery and team awareness of the soldiers were unprecedentedly strong. It seems to contain a regional cultural spirit.
Thinking of our own troops, they are so well-equipped, trained hard, and their logistical support is even worse. If they were to fight in hand-to-hand combat with the Japs, they might not be as good as the 29th Army.
This is of course a consistent concept put forward by the division commander, but when the unprotected troops appear without ammunition, they will suffer a loss when facing the little devils. After these officers returned to the army, they used the swords learned in the 29th Army The skills are taught to the soldiers, and the brave spirit and teamwork of the soldiers are also consciously cultivated.
After this fight, in addition to the standard equipment, each of the soldiers of the ** division also had a big sword behind their backs.
Tang Qiuli discovered this phenomenon when he left the army. He did not stop it. Although he emphasized that he would not engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japs, nothing was absolute. Once they faced the Japs, troops who had not been trained to fight would be Big loss.
However, he found that the broadswords equipped by the troops came in various styles and materials. They could be basically the same in a regiment, but there were several in a brigade. In Su Jingfeng's brigade, Tang Qiuli discovered that a regiment was equipped with five swords. Huan DaThe other regiment is equipped with the Ghost Sword. When I inquired about it, I found that the two regiment leaders both had martial arts skills and were from different sects. The two regiment leaders picked up what they had in hand. He was a bit I couldn't laugh or cry, now it's better, the army became the Boxers.
He had no choice but to find Zhou Yushan, deputy director of the Logistics Department and director of the baggage department, and asked him to uniformly equip the troops with standard broadswords within a month. The standard was that the weight of the knives was one-third lighter than now, and the sharpness was the same. The hardness of the steel mouth should be more than three times that of the current one.
If there are troops with special requirements, try to meet their requirements, and the baggage department will be responsible for the supervision of production. You might as well gather all the blacksmiths and weapon manufacturers around Huangyadong, and the troops will provide raw materials and process them uniformly.
As soon as Tang Qiuli issued this order, Huangya Cave became a smelting site at that time. The sound of "ding-dong" was constant day and night. The grand scene was comparable to the large-scale steel smelting movement in later generations.
There are indeed troops with special requirements. The soldiers of Qiuquan's special operations detachment asked for a sharp dagger for each person, as well as specially made swords for crossbows. Many soldiers in the cavalry brigade who were good at martial arts also found Zhou Yushan. He said that he was not used to using slender sabers, so he asked for a batch of thick-backed machetes to be specially made. When fighting against the Japanese cavalry, one knife could cut the Japanese soldiers and swords in two.
Not long after the press conference, I received a personal letter from Nanjing Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to Tang Qiuli. In the letter, Chairman Chiang not only praised him for his effectiveness in suppressing bandits, but also specifically mentioned the female reporter from Ta Kung Pao. The question asked asked Tang Qiuli to give him a detailed report.
It is said that when Chairman Chiang saw the wonderful report in the newspaper, he kept smiling and appreciating it. Especially when he saw the part where Tang Qiuli pointed at Sang and scolded Huaibi and scolded the Japanese, he laughed out loud, which was rare, and made all the guards I was shocked. I have been with Mr. Zuo for many years, and I have never seen Mr. Zuo lose his temper like this.
Chiang's wife, Soong Meiling, also heard the news and rushed over. Chairman Chiang pointed to the newspaper and said to his wife: "Young people have a young mind. They laugh, yell and curse in articles. Their words are like knives and dripping with joy. But the Japanese don't even have a single reason to refute. No, happy¡±
"If this person had been here when Jingzhi and the Japanese signed the Tanggu Agreement, the Japanese would not have been able to speak so loudly and take advantage of them, so that North China is still under the eye of the Japanese. After I finish speaking, I am deeply moved.
Soon, Tang Qiuli's report arrived. He did not hide the fight with the Japanese. This matter was too big to hide even if he wanted to. It would be bad if Chairman Chiang learned the news through other channels.
After all, after several battles, the Japanese suffered heavy losses and did not dare to speak out. The matter was settled, and the government and Chairman Chiang had no trouble.
In the report, Tang Qiuli explained in detail the reasons for the fight with the Japanese, the final results, and the Japanese's reaction to these things.
As soon as Chairman Jiang read the report, he broke into a cold sweat. The Japanese had nine planes with nearly 7,000 people, and Tang Qiuli calmly took care of them. This young man was so brave, and he was not afraid of offending Japan. Do people make the situation in North China tense?
After seeing this, Chairman Jiang¡¯s face became calmer. Tang Qiuli handled it very well. How could such a big bargain be obtained without leaving any excuse for the Japanese or causing trouble to the government. It is commendable and not easy.
Since the Japanese army arrived in North China, the Japanese have no longer made unreasonable troubles, causing themselves headaches all day long and struggling to cope. It seems that it was extremely correct to put him in North China. It was a force to deter the Japanese. It saves me a lot of worry and I can use all my energy on other important things.
This Tang Qiuli is really a capable man. His ability is many times greater than that of Song Zheyuan. The most important thing is that the Army Division is a force of the central system, and North China can safely leave it to this young man.
Chairman Chiang was very happy, and he immediately ordered the attendants to make a plan to praise Tang Qiuli and the North China Army Division, and reward all officers and soldiers with 300,000 yuan in cash to reward the meritorious soldiers, and the Army Division It can independently expand the number of troops without being restricted by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Regarding military expenditures, the central government will reimburse them in real terms.
This gives Tang Qiuli great authority. The number of your military division remains unchanged. As for the number of soldiers, you have the final say. Chairman Chiang probably also knows that Minister of Military and Political Affairs He Yingqin is behind Tang Qiuli's little tricks, so he might as well give it to you. He still prefers the sword.
??Especially the issue of military expenditures. Your army has 500,000 people, and the government also allocates funds to you on a per-capita basis. It will give you as much money as there are people. As the saying goes, if you don¡¯t have money, you can¡¯t raise troops.
Tang Qiuli has made a lot of money, and Chairman Chiang reciprocates the favor. You, Tang Qiuli, guard one side for me and block the Japanese in North China. If you fight in the ring, if you don't cause trouble for me, I, Jiang, can't be stingy. Work hard, the benefits will be great.
"It's just that Chairman Chiang has always had something in mindConfused, according to the stubborn nature of the Japanese, they suffered such a big loss and remained silent. They neither protested nor issued harsh threats, nor did they wield swords or guns to cause trouble. This is not like the Japanese style. ? Is this Tang Qiuli the natural nemesis of the Japanese?
¡°What method did this young man use to make the arrogant Japanese people so docile? If I have the chance, I really want to meet this mysterious Tang Qiuli.
