Zhou Wu looked at the outfit on Gui Jun's body, and his nose couldn't help but sour, how could there be such a poor soldier, not to mention the tattered military uniforms on his body, the independent brigade was also ragged, like a flower child, but no matter how poor they were, no matter how down, they were stronger than these Gui soldiers in front of them.
Zhou Wu found that they were all barefoot, it was already winter, although it had not snowed yet, but the weather was already very cold, he was sad to see these brothers who were frozen to blood-red feet, this is the army, it is simply a beggar's gang.
The deputy regiment commander who took the lead saw the star shining on Zhou Wu's collar badge, knew that he was a big official, and hurriedly saluted: "Report to the chief, we are the 138th Division of the 54th Army of the Gui Army, which was scattered by devils in Baoshan, Shanghai, and no friendly troops have been able to take it in for more than a month. ” "Our hometown is in Guangxi, if the governor finds it inconvenient to take him in, I implore you to send some money to our brothers to go home, so that we can go back to our hometown, otherwise we can only occupy the mountain as kings and become bandits."
Hearing this, Zhou Wu felt very angry at the commanders of the Ministry of National Defense and the Military Command Department, these brothers from Guangxi fought to the death with devils in Baoshan, fought bloodily, and people put their lives aside and shed blood and sweat for the country, but those high-ranking guys completely ignored their lives and deaths, and did not even have the least greetings, what kind of world is this In the long run, some people who sincerely resist Japan will be chilled, who are they fighting for Zhou Wu said: "Brother, the 79th Army Independent Brigade welcomes your arrival, my name is Zhou Wu, I am the commander of the Independent Brigade, brother, your surname" This regiment commander was blinded all the way after he withdrew from Shanghai, and no one had ever treated them well, and even the local government had not given them a good face; today he suddenly saw a major general of the national army greeting him so cordially, and he was immediately so excited that he couldn't even speak very well.
"Report to the chief, the lowly surname is Huang, and the nickname is the sea, thank you for taking us in, thank you so much."
Zhou Wu said with a smile: "Commander Huang, you don't have to be polite, when you come to the Independent Brigade, we are a family, and there is another one like you in the Independent Brigade, fat man, you go and call Sheng Pei, and call the officers above the battalion to the brigade headquarters, everyone knows each other first." ” The fat man immediately took someone to inform him, and Zhou Wu instructed Lao Xu of the Quartermaster Department to tidy up the tattered military uniforms of Lao Huang's brothers, and if the Quartermaster Department of the Independent Brigade did not have so many military uniforms, he could negotiate with the local government at the military station in Jiangning.
At the same time, Zhou Wu ordered the brigade secretary to hurry up and prepare a little food to entertain these brothers from Guangxi who had fought bloody battles with devils in Baoshan, Shanghai, and to treat them well, because they were entitled to these treatments.
Ding Ning suggested that a part of the 100,000 yuan awarded to the independent brigade by the Ministry of Defense should be given to these brothers from Guangxi.
Zhou Wu agreed, and decided to give each person ten yuan as living expenses, regardless of the size of the official rank, and pay silver according to the standard of the independent brigade in the future.
As soon as these measures came out, these Guangxi soldiers were moved to tears, including the deputy regiment commander Huang, who demanded to join the independent brigade immediately, not to mention what the conditions were, and it was okay to be mixed.
Deputy Regiment Commander Huang was afraid that Zhou Wu would not look down on them, so he hurriedly said: "Sir, our Guangxi soldiers are not as equipped as other troops, but our usual training is not ambiguous at all, we can endure hardships, although we are smaller, but we are flexible in fighting, not us blow, we are not inferior to devils in the competition of bayonets, I don't believe it, you find a few brothers to compete and compete."
Zhou Wu had long heard that the Guangxi soldiers were brave and fierce in battle, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, and this opportunity came, and he had to see everything he said, so he immediately asked the fat man to draw a few brothers with a high level of bayonets to come out and learn from them.
The deputy head of the Huang regiment didn't really brag, the fat man drew three bayonet masters to compete with them, defeated two, and they were all convinced, and even said that the Guangxi soldiers were powerful, and they were willing to bow down.
Zhou Wu looked at it, wow, now he didn't have to worry about the little devil fighting bayonets, he lowered his head and discussed with Ding Ning, and announced that more than 400 Guijun brothers would be independently organized into a special battalion, because there is already Zhai Daping's special battalion, so now this special battalion is called the second battalion of special agents, which is directly under the brigade headquarters and is used as a mobile reserve of the brigade headquarters.
Zhou Wuyi announced, and the Gui army cheered, although they were organized into a battalion, they directly belonged to the independent brigade headquarters, which was equivalent to the establishment of the regiment.
But the fat man was not happy, he originally thought that his regiment now only had more than 400 brothers, and he would have to supplement it after he arrived in Jiangning, so he was very happy when he saw that these Guangxi brothers wanted to join the independent brigade.
Zhou Wu asked him to draw the brother of the bayonet, and he was quite energetic in doing things, but unexpectedly, he was organized into a separate special battalion, and he was directly under the command of the independent brigade Of course, Zhou Wu knew that the fat man was unhappy, so he said to him: "Fat man, the original spy battalion is in one regiment, and we are now in a shortage of personnel, so let's make do with it first, and when the people from above are allocated, we will definitely replenish your regiment first." ” "Originally, I was thinking of allocating these brothers from Guangxi to a regiment, but considering that they are a team with different customs and habits and fighting methods than yours, in order to better develop their combat potential, I discussed with the chief of staff and felt that it would be more appropriate to organize them into a separate battalion.
Sometimes we have to look at things holistically, not just in front of them. ” The fat man was told a big truth by Zhou Wu, although he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but he said very generously: "What the brigade said is right, this is also the reason why I can only be the commander of this regiment, and the brigade can be the brigade commander, I will definitely improve it in the future." ” The next day, the old army commander also came to Jiangning, and heard that Zhou Wu had incorporated a Guangxi army, and as the commander of his hometown in Guangxi, he seemed very happy, and specially went to the independent brigade to see his fellow countrymen.
When the fellow villagers saw their fellow villagers, their eyes were full of tears, especially those Guangxi soldiers, who saw that the commander of the 79th Army actually came to visit them in person, and they all felt that they had joined the Independent Brigade this time, and they had made a lot of money.
Not only did they each get two sets of winter clothes and eat well, but they also got ten pieces of ocean, which was really heaven compared to the Songhu battlefield.
The old army commander said: "I have already contacted the Jiangning Military Station and the Nanjing Ministry of Defense, and the logistics and supply of the independent brigade are in charge of the Jiangning side, and you can send someone there to coordinate tomorrow." ” Zhou Wu heard the old army commander say that the logistics of the troops were in good shape, and he felt a lot more relieved.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that when he was in Shitang Town, Mr.
Wang gave him something before leaving, and specially explained that he should not be busy dismantling it first, and then dismantle it after arriving in Jiangning, I don't know what it is, it makes it mysterious. t1706231537:
