Personnel issues and officialdom culture are things that the army cannot get rid of.
Who will take over this regimental leader This question made Chief Du rack his brains.
In the office of the military headquarters, there was silence again, Commander Du was in deep thought, his brows were tightly locked, and Huang Xiang, the chief of staff of the army on the side, lit a cigarette, and the office of the military headquarters immediately became smoky, and both of them were thinking about who to give the post of commander of the second regiment.
The position of a regiment commander is not a joke, there are several regiment commanders in the Fifth Army Therefore, Huang Xiang and Commander Du thought about it repeatedly and considered.
Theoretically, the supplementary regiment is a supplementary unit with poor equipment and the quality of its personnel, the soldiers are mainly new recruits, the weapons are mainly old Hanyang-made and Czech-style light machine guns that have been eliminated by combat units, and there is a serious shortage of mortars, heavy machine guns, and other weapons.
In fact, the status quo of the two supplementary regiments of the Fifth Army was also true, and they also served as the task of raiding and harassing in the Battle of Kunlun Pass, mainly in the outpost stage of the teaching brigade besieging the Takeda Brigade, and carried out flank attacks and pinned down the reinforcements of the Japanese 21st Wing, which played a certain role, but did not fight the Japanese army head-on.
In terms of losses, these two regiments were also relatively heavy, because their strength was too weak.
After the Battle of Kunlun Pass, Chief Du wanted to further retrain the troops and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, and he very much hoped that the two regiments would be done well, and that the two supplementary regiments would be turned into two combat regiments capable of fighting, so that there would be one more combat force available in wartime.
Officers in the national army who really want to improve the combat effectiveness of their units have done their best to build heavy units and supplementary regiments according to the standards of combat units, and the current Commander Du is no exception.
It is precisely because of the heart that there is the current distress and boredom.
The appointment and dismissal of officers above the Fifth Army Corps must be decided by these two commanders, and now the matter of making up the first regiment has been settled, and the former regiment commander, Major General Peng Bisheng, who is also the deputy commander of the 200th Division, performed well in the Battle of Kunlun Pass, and is now transferred from the Fifth Army and promoted to the commander of the 49th Division under the Sixth Army of the Army.
Peng Bisheng's posthumous post was taken over by Wang Zhaozhong, deputy head of the lieutenant colonel, which was logical, and the personnel changes in the first regiment were complemented, which was perfect.
Xie Weiyun, the commander of the Second Supplementary Regiment, was also transferred to the New 22nd Division as the commander, but the next commander of the Second Supplementary Regiment, Chief Du, is now difficult to decide who will be the commander.
According to the rules, those who are qualified to take over as regiment commanders are basically pre-war lieutenant colonel officers, and they have the conditions to be promoted to colonel and regiment commander.
For example, if the lieutenant colonel and deputy commander of each regiment itself performs well, he can take over the post of outgoing regiment commander and be promoted to colonel and regiment commander, and then a lieutenant colonel officer transferred from a foreign unit can take over as colonel and regiment commander, which can also be regarded as "airborne." ” With this old rule, Chief Du still can't think of who will take over the post of regiment commander, and he doesn't know much about the situation of the officers within the second regiment, because he can't memorize all the transfers and job changes of each lieutenant colonel and major, and many changes are handled by Huang Xiang, and Chief Du is not clear.
As for the transfer of officers to the Second Supplementary Regiment, he really couldn't think of a suitable candidate, and he couldn't think of any lieutenant colonel officer who met the promotion requirements in other units of the Fifth Army to be the colonel commander of the Supplementary Second Regiment.
"Counselor, can the lieutenant colonel and deputy head of the second regiment take over?"
Chief Du asked.
"No, the lieutenant colonel and deputy commander of this regiment have also been transferred, and there is only one major left to be attached to the regiment, for the time being, the whole regiment is attached to this regiment."
Huang Xiang spat out his cigarette and said with an ugly face.
"Lao Huang, it seems that this head of the regiment is not easy to find."
Chief Du reluctantly changed his title to Lao Huang and said.
Huang Xiang seemed to remember something, smiled, looked indifferent, and nodded: "Yes, military seat, the supplementary regiment is directly under our military department, and it must be more troublesome in terms of personnel, but this regiment, the situation is a bit complicated." ” "Complex" Huang Xiang pinched his cigarette: "That's right, the problem lies in the major regiment, this regiment is from the army, not our Huangpu people, a person, a little arrogant, I heard that after the former regiment commander Xie Weiyun and the lieutenant colonel deputy regiment commander left, this person was in the second supplementary regiment, enveloping people, and holding power, it is said that it is very bad, this person, nine times out of ten, has the intention of taking advantage of the new regiment commander to take power." ” As soon as Huang Xiang's words fell, the eyes of Commander Du, who was sitting in a chair and pondering, suddenly widened.
Chief Du: "How can there be such a thing?"
What Huang Xiang said attracted the attention of Chief Du.
"Military seat, too close to the things below, you and I don't know very well, I also listened to the small staff officer and others, this situation has spread from the bottom of the people, the current situation of the second regiment is very bad, the regiment commander, the lieutenant colonel and the deputy commander are vacant, I checked, there are two battalion commanders below who are also transferred, and one person who was removed due to the disadvantage of the operation, all of which were handled by me.
