On March 26, 1938, the Wuhan Garrison Command was officially established.

The headquarters is actually an empty shelf, because President Chang, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan garrison, does not work here at all, and Feng Yuxiang, who is the deputy commander-in-chief, is just an ornament.

The real department of power in the Wuhan Garrison Command is the General Staff!

You only need to look at the office settings of the General Staff to know this!

In general, there are only three or four general staff offices of a group army, and in addition to the operations office, the adjutant's office, and the general affairs office, there is at most one communications office, and the communications office of some units is not under the control of the general staff.

However, the General Staff Department of the Wuhan Garrison Command is not only in charge of the Communications Department, but also the Quartermaster Department and the Military Service Department, and has also added the Industrial Department and the Construction Department!

There are more functional bodies than the General Staff!

Zhong Yi was completed, and all the work of the General Staff Department was immediately and in full swing.

Yu Da and Lu Jixian have all found someone, they have been working in the attendant room for many years, and they are all graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy, and they have also participated in the Army University and the Officer Training Corps.

……

Chen Jing'an, the five of them soon came to the door.

When they had just graduated from the Luojiashan Senior Officer Training Corps, Chen Jingan and the five of them were still full of ambition and passion.

Because compared to the Huangpu students who graduated at the same time as them, Chen Ying'an and the five people have been more than one step faster, and most of their classmates are still struggling with the battalion commander at this time, but they are already brigade commanders and have already become generals!

But when they officially took office, they immediately poured cold water on them.

Because the so-called 1st to 5th Garrison Brigade is simply an empty shelf!

Their immediate boss, the former commander of the Wuhan garrison and the commander of the 94th Army, Guo Chen, was kind enough and gave each of them an infantry battalion, but the rest was up to them to figure out their own way.

But what can Chen Jing'an: What can they do? They want money but no money, they want food but no food, they want no way to go out, it is impossible to support such a big scene!

Just when they were helpless, the good news suddenly came, the Wuhan Garrison Command was abolished, and the Wuhan Garrison General Headquarters was newly established, with President Chang concurrently serving as the commander-in-chief, and Feng Yuxiang serving as the deputy commander, this is not the key, the key is that the chief of staff of the garrison headquarters turned out to be their classmate, Zhong Yi!

Moreover, Zhong Yi, the chief of staff, is still the de facto head of the garrison command!

After learning the news, Chen Jing'an and the five of them immediately came to Wuhan to camp.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the camp, he met the brigade commander of the 367 Brigade, Zhu Liangcheng.

Zhu Liangcheng's situation is slightly better than Chen Jing'an's, but it is not much better.

After the German advisers were invited to reorganize the army in the 22nd year of the Republic of China, all the brigades of the national army only had two infantry regiments under their jurisdiction, and if they were an independent combat unit, they could also be equipped with one battalion of chariots, artillery, engineers, and baggage.

After the expansion, the 367 Brigade is not subordinate to any division, any army, of course, it is an independent combat unit, so in addition to two infantry regiments, the 367 Brigade should theoretically also have a battalion of combat vehicles, artillery, engineers, and baggage troops, in addition to a communications company directly under the brigade headquarters, a guard company, and a health team.

But the problem is that this is only theoretical, and in practice there is hardly a brigade in the entire country that can be fully equipped.

Zhu Liangcheng does not have the luxury of hoping to complete these units, the only thing he hopes is that the two regiments can make up for it, because, until now, the 367 Brigade is still only the old foundation of the 367 Regiment, with only more than 2,000 people.

For this reason, Zhu Liangcheng also looked for the attendant room, but he didn't even see Lin Wei's face.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Zhong Yi had been transferred to the post of chief of staff of the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, Zhu Liangcheng was overjoyed and hurried to Wuhan to camp as soon as possible.

At that moment, the six people greeted each other and saluted, and asked the guard squad leader at the gate about the location of the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, and then went straight to the auxiliary building of the Wuhan camp.

As a result, when he arrived at the garrison headquarters, Zhong Yi didn't see him, but saw Shi Zude and Liu Yuanlin in the conference room.

Shi Zude and Liu Yuanlin have been working hard in the attendant room for many years, and the news is naturally much better than Chen Jing'an, so they came to the door earlier, it is not a pity, it is useless to come early, because Zhong Yi is not there.

Chen Jing'an and the six of them met with Shi Zude, and they made fun again.

"This is really Mo Daojun's early departure, and there are even more early pedestrians." Chen Jingan quipped, "Brother Zude, and Brother Yuanlin, I didn't expect you two to be early!" ”

Shi Zude just smiled.

Liu Yuanlin said: "We have just arrived. ”

Liu Futing asked, "Have you seen Ziren?" ”

"Nope." Shi Zude said, "I heard that the 16th Army was very resistant, and Ziren personally rushed to coordinate. ”

When Pan Zihe heard this, he immediately came to his senses and asked, "Brother Zude, what the hell is going on?" How did I hear that Ziren was going to dismantle the Sixth, Sixteenth, Thirty-seventh, Seventy-fifth and Ninety-fourth Armies, and all the soldiers were scattered and added to our eight brigades? ”

Shi Zude nodded and said, "It's true that the five armies are going to be demolished." ”

"My goodness!" Zhou Mengxiong said excitedly, "Five armies are ten divisions, that is, forty regiments, if we are divided into eight brigades equally, wouldn't it mean that each of our brigades can be divided into five regiments?" ”

"What are you thinking? There are only four regiments in one division, and you think five regiments in one brigade? Why don't you go to heaven? Shi Zude said angrily, "You just said half right, the Sixteenth Army and other five armies will indeed be split, but the forty regiments that will be split will not be given to us." ”

"Only twenty regiments were given to us." Liu Yuanlin said, "And it's not eight brigades divided equally, but ten!" ”

"Ten?" Zhang Buwu was stunned and said, "Who else is there besides us?" Which other two units were also assigned to the Wuhan Garrison Command? ”

As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "In addition to your eight brigades, there are also our anti-smuggling corps and Captain Zhou's police corps!" ”

When everyone looked back in a hurry, they saw Sun Liren walking in with a policeman wearing a major general's uniform.

Sun Liren's military posture was straight, and after entering the door, he just raised his hand to salute, but the major general and policeman bent over and bowed to Shi Zude and them with a flattering face.

"It's an honor to work with you." The Major General and the policeman bowed and said with a flattering face, "Please take care of me, hehe, take care of me." ”

Shi Zude and the others lazily clasped their fists: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Shi Zude and the others were obviously a little sluggish, but Erzi didn't mind.
