Chapter 144 Far-reaching and circuitous
19o8 Far East Madman Chapter 144 Deep and Far Go
The curtain was shrouded in the woods. The rain had stopped. But water drips from the trees, falling silently on the moist soil. The earthiness in the air became stronger.
Zhu Daniu took off the rubber-faced raincoat and took out the boat-shaped hat from his mouth. He first applied it as a towel on his face. Then he put it on his head seriously. Now the Republican Army has not completed the dressing. Only the First Division and the Second Division have changed into new military uniforms. The Second Division stayed in Hubei. Therefore, among the Republican Army troops entering the western expedition of Sichuan, only Zhu Daniu's special operations camp and the officers and soldiers of the First Division wore boat-shaped hats. In addition, only Zhao Bei's guard battalion was dressed like this.
When it comes to this type of ship hat, the opinions in the army are still not unified. There are many people who support and oppose. Those who oppose it say it is ugly and has no brim to protect the sun. Those who support it say that the hat looks strange and unique, very consistent with the image of the Communist Army. It is simple to manufacture and easy to carry.
Zhu Daniu had no opinion on this "military hat". He firmly believed that the commander-in-chief would wear whatever hat he asked to wear. Why did he talk so much nonsense? Soldiers should resolutely implement the orders of superiors. Since the commander-in-chief ordered the ship-shaped hat, then put it on honestly. Anyway, soldiers gain combat effectiveness by relying on hats.
Zhu Daniu Weixin's love is to fight
This western expedition to Sichuan, the battalion was at the forefront as the vanguard of the large army, and carried out some small-scale infiltration and frontier fire reconnaissance. There was no decent battle along the way, which made the special battalion angry. Although he knew it was "special combat", even Zhu Daniu did not accept it. This kind of battle was quite boring and using the special combat battalion as a vanguard did not conform to the principle of special combat.
The Western Expedition Army stopped to the state and prepared for the battle of Qizhou. Zhao Bei also transferred the Special Forces Battalion from the front and asked them to rest for a few days. If the special forces Battalion started, it was very likely that it would be used as a sharp knife force to penetrate into the depth of the enemy's defense line to disrupt the enemy's deployment and provide cover for the frontal attack of the large army.
The rest lasted for five days until the shells transported from the downstream piled up into mountains. Yuan Shikainuo's radio station was also in place. Zhao Bei nodded. The special operations camp was like a tiger out of a cage. He brought a radio station, "screaming" and crossing the river from the ferry 50 miles upstream of the state. He came a deep return to the back of Zhizhou, the upper reaches of the Wujiang River, and then lurked in a valley less than twenty miles away from the state wall. He sent a reconnaissance team to reconnaissance while waiting for new orders.
According to the agreement, the special operations camp's telephone and the headquarters contacted every two hours. But from yesterday's lurking to the present, every time the special operations camp's orders were "original standby". This made Zhu Daniu feel anxious. In addition, he had eaten fried noodles these two days, and several bubbles appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When the fire is on, it will be fired. Zhu Daniu led the soldiers around the woods, looking for wild vegetables and mushrooms that can be eaten. At least improve the food for the team.
He picked a basket of wild vegetables and mushrooms, carried the bamboo basket, Zhu Daniu and several soldiers returned to the river valley camp, hung the rubber-sided poncho on the tent stand, took out the hanging table and took a look. He strided to a tent, lifted up the tent, and asked inward, "Have you contacted? When will you attack?" The two electricians in foreign military uniforms in the tent replied tremblingly: "The order is still "the original standby"."
"Did you translate the telegram code incorrectly? Why are you always "on standby"?" Zhu Daniu asked anxiously. He felt a strong sense of distrust of the telegram officer sent by Shikai. Otherwise, he would not have sent two soldiers to follow the left and right to "protect".
"The translation is correct. We came from Beiyang Telegraph Academy."
A telegraph officer plucked up his courage and read another telegraph officer. He went over a telegraph paper and said again: "In the telegraph just now, the General Office ordered our department to continue monitoring the movements of the Qing army. Brigade Commander Bai had already crossed the river with his troops and was coming towards the side."
"Bai Wenmo? He's just here now? He's the only one brigade?" Zhu Daniu smacked his lips and didn't answer the telegram because he was illiterate. Although he had always wanted to learn culture, military affairs have been busy recently. In fact, the official documents of the troops are usually relying on several staff officers. The training and tactics of the troops are also assisted by those officers who have drunk ink.
After the Huangnigang Uprising, Zhao Bei rewarded all the soldiers who performed well in the uprising. Although after the reorganization of the Republican Army, some officers who were not strong in revolution were rebelled against Zhao Beiyang, many of them were still officers of the Republican Army. Bai Wen was one of them. It was just because of his Tongmenghui status. The official was not very large. He was just the brigade commander of the Second Division. Later, because he was fighting for the position of commander of the division commander, he was transferred to the brigade commander by the commander-in-chief. As for the commander of the First Division, Zhao Bei was originally the same. After Jiang Fangzhen arrived in Wuhan, he temporarily served as the commander. However, because Jiang Fangzhen was too old, he was not rushing out in iron blood like Zhao Bei. He lacked prestige and had no foundation in the army. Therefore, the position of this division commander may not be stable.
The eldest son was drooling at the position of the division commander. Bai Wenmo was no exception. He was a fool and his heart was bright. After considering it, he recommended Bai Wenmo to succeed him. However, Zhao Bei did not agree at all. He said that he wanted to investigate.
The First Division commander's battle for an open secret. Senior officers knew more or less. Most of them thought that Jiang Fangzhen was suitable for being a staff officer. But when it comes to leading troops to fight, they were not optimistic about him. After all, he had just returned not long ago. He had never commanded actual combat before. Unlike Zhao Bei, he could rely on his achievements to suppress his subordinates. Count it carefully. The achievements of Anqing Yi's victory in the Huangnigang Mutiny of Jiujiang and the restoration of Qizhou and even the restoration of Hubei Province were all the contributions of Commander-in-Chief Zhao. Let's take a look at this Jiang Fang's shock, Jiang Baili. What achievements can he do? Although the commander-in-chief praised him and valued him, it does not mean that others also valued this young officer who talked about military affairs on paper. Nowadays, becoming an official still depends on qualifications.
"About seniority" is a bad habit. Zhao Bei hates it very much. However, this battle is not something he can fight alone. Sometimes ideals must also compromise with tradition. Only talent is a good way to select talents. But the feelings of those old people cannot be considered. Bi. This army is supported by them. Before the current affairs propagandists become the soul of the army, these officers still have considerable energy and must be won over.
Although Zhao Bei was not immediately resigned by Jiang Fangzhen, he also verbally agreed. After the Battle of the State, one person was promoted from the three brigade commanders of the First Division to be the division commander. This depends on the performance of the three brigade commanders in the state battle.
"In terms of revolutionary stance, Bai Wenmok is not as good as the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Han Dynasty is a little tender. It is not as long as Bai Wenmok's beard and is not in the First Division."
Zhu Daniu touched his chin and thought about the candidate for the division commander. He now has more than 600 people under him. In fact, he is the organization of two infantry battalions. Zhao Bei has agreed to add another battalion to him after the end of the Western Expedition and expand the special war team. By then, Zhu Da will be the regiment commander. The twenty-year-old regiment commander is quite young. He is promoted faster than those non-commissioned officers in the Qing army who were admitted to Japan. Moreover, he is still a text. "Anyway, I recognize the words." Zhu Da looked at the telegram and made up his mind in his heart. The commander-in-chief said in his own words. If he could not recognize two thousand Chinese characters within two years, then "the regiment commander is the biggest official position he can get.
"Report. Our army's power is low. If it explodes, it may be destroyed by a flood." A war sound came from outside the tent, which broke Zhu Daniu's thoughts.
Zhu Daniu lifted the lantern, picked up the tent, looked at the warrior, and said, "Jiang Wu, now you don't have the turn. Don't go to rest. Run around. Then the fight starts. Don't yawn to me."
The soldier was Jiang, who relied on Commander-in-Chief Tiaozi and Liu Fuji to enter the Special Forces Camp together. They were the "backdoor" soldiers who gave Zhao Bei the green light to the Special Forces Camp. Zhu Niu did not give them a good look from the beginning. Their usual training requirements were particularly harsh. But they persisted and did not give up half of it. Finally, Zhu Daniu looked at him differently. He also admired Zhao Bei's eyes more and more. The only dissatisfaction was that the two still only knew "dog padding" so far. They could not learn any other swimming postures. Zhu Daniu still had no idea whether to drive them away. When he came, special forces who could not swim could only be used to stand guard.
Liu Gengchun, the general staff officer of the Special Forces Camp, kept picking Zhu Daniu and driving the two out of the special forces camp. Because in the view of Staff Liu, these two young people were brave and resourceful. Staying in the special forces camp as a big soldier was really a talent. They should be recommended to become an officer in the school. After graduation, they could play a greater role in the revolution. Moreover, in the view of Staff Liu, the commander-in-chief sent these two people to serve in the army. The real intention might be just to cultivate the will of the two. After all, the commander-in-chief attached great importance to the reputation of the young people in the special forces camp. It was impossible for two cultural people to be soldiers for a long time.
Jiang Yiwu said seriously: "The general attack is imminent and cannot sleep. Instead of staying in the tent, it is better to walk around. I just saw that the water in the Wujiang River is turbid. The wood is drifting from the upstream. Special war textbooks are compiled based on the commander-in-chief and Staff Officer Liu. This is a precursor to the mountain torrent. It must be guarded."
Zhu Daniu said: "I want the one I don't want if you don't say it. I'm from a boat trip. I've seen the greatness of mountain torrents. I don't want to rush our more than 600 people into the Wujiang River."
"A mountain torrent explodes. I'm afraid the schedule of the original battle will be postponed again." Jiang Yiwu frowned.
"Then let's lurk for a few more days. Our bullets have also been shipped up. Then I will be across the river. I won't believe it. The wooden fences of patrol are stronger than cannons. The heads of the Tartar soldiers are harder than iron lumps."
