Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the cold wind blows on the face like a knife.

Since the devils captured Wuhan, due to the long stretching of the battle line and the constant harassment of the war zone behind the enemy, the occupied area has been unstable, and the exhausted devils have been unable to launch a large-scale offensive in a short period of time.

However, the seven elite divisions and two mixed brigades under the command of Okamura Ninji were pressed on the front line of the Xinqiang River and the troops belonging to the Ninth Theater of Operations were facing each other, and they were only about 200 miles away from Changsha.

Yang Ling's 74th Army was resting in Changsha and stationed on the outskirts of Changsha City.

After all, tens of thousands of elite devils are staring at Changsha from 200 miles away, and the clouds of war have been hanging over Changsha, and the devils may pounce at any time.

Therefore, after replenishing a number of new recruits and weapons, the unit immediately began training and prepared for a new battle.

As the regiment commander, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the new recruits as soon as possible, Yang Ling often went down to the battalion and company to personally guide the training, and paid close attention to the training.

Although the news of Yang Ling's promotion to the deputy brigade was spread in private, there was never a letter of appointment, and he could only stay in the regiment patiently.

As soon as Yang Ling, who had returned to the regiment headquarters from the first battalion, sat down, Jiao Chaoming, who was attached to the regiment, made Yang Ling a cup of hot tea and brought it over.

"Tuanza, drink a cup of hot tea and warm up."

Jiao Chaoming, who was attached to the regiment, was also an old man who followed Yang Ling, and the other brothers all went to the battalion to lead the soldiers, but after all, there were not many positions at that time, so he was transferred to the regiment as a regimental attached, and this work was more than a year.

"Jiao Tuanfu, have you seen Chief of Staff Zhang?" Yang Ling took the water glass, looked around and asked.

Since he returned from the hospital from his injuries, the regiment's chief of staff has not been seen for three days.

Although the unit is now resting and training in Changsha and does not have so many things to do, as the chief of staff, he always does not stay in the regiment, and it is not very good to run out twice in three days.

Jiao Chaoming replied: "Chief of Staff Zhang probably went to the division again." ”

Yang Ling frowned: "He doesn't stay in the regiment if he has nothing to do, what is he doing in the division all day long?" ”

"Didn't we win the battle, I heard that Chief of Staff Zhang has been moving around recently and wants to be transferred to the division.....

Hearing Jiao Chaoming's words, Yang Ling suddenly realized that the emotional brothers were desperately bleeding on the battlefield but had become a stepping stone for other people's promotion, and Yang Ling's heart was inexplicably panicked.

"Tuanzao, why don't I go to the division headquarters and call Chief of Staff Zhang back?" Seeing that Yang Ling's face sank, he realized that he was afraid that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly spoke.

Yang Ling waved his hand and said: "No, since our group can't accommodate him in this temple, let him go, where do you like to transfer." ”

When Zhang Qingyun came to the regiment, he didn't come to fight, and Yang Ling also knew it.

This time, he wanted to climb up with the victory of Wanjialing, which was naturally a reasonable thing, and Yang Ling didn't bother to care, like this kind of nepotism, he couldn't care about it.

"Tuanza, a lot of people are moving around now, you see it's coming to the New Year soon, do you want me to prepare some things for you to go to the division for a walk?"

Yang Ling's deputy brigade appointment was delayed, and Yang Ling had been staring at the training, and he had no leisure time to think, but Jiao Chaoming and the others were quite anxious for Yang Ling and took the initiative to remind them.

"Forget it, let's stop this matter here, don't mention it again in the future." Yang Ling thought for a moment, but still rejected Jiao Chaoming's proposal.

Now that the news of his promotion to deputy brigade commander has come out, it will naturally not be groundless, and he is going to give gifts now, wouldn't it be the truth, it is better to wait honestly, he believes that what is his own must be his own, and it is not his own request in vain.

"By the way, the clothing supplies have come down, you inform the quartermaster to go to the brigade to get it." Yang Ling instructed Jiao Chaoming.

"Yes." Jiao Chaoming sighed slightly in his heart, stepped forward to respond, and turned around to leave: "Tuanzao, then I'll go and inform first." ”

"Wait a minute." As soon as Jiao Chaoming took two steps, Yang Ling stopped him.

"Tuanza, is there anything else?" Jiao Chaoming stopped, turned his head and asked.

Yang Ling asked with a smile: "Our regiment suffered a lot of losses in the first battle of Wanjialing, and now there are still many vacant positions in each battalion, do you have the will to lead the troops?" ”

Jiao Chaoming has been in the position attached to the regiment for almost a year, and he is completely idle, watching the old brothers at the beginning all accumulate merit and be promoted to company commander and battalion commander.

But he was still going around in circles, saying in his heart that he didn't envy it was fake, but he was embarrassed to go to Yang Ling to take the initiative to ask for an official, so he was so wasted.

Now Yang Ling took the initiative to mention this stubble, which suddenly made his mind lively again, and while he was excited, he was also a little worried.

Although he learned a lot from Yang Ling's side, he still lacked confidence compared to those officers who came out of the military academy.

"Tuanzao, I think I think so, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to lead the soldiers well, and I will embarrass you when the time comes." Jiao Chaoming said very worriedly.

"There's nothing to worry about, you see who is not from the big head soldiers in the regiment now, and now they can still lead the troops to fight, you want you to work hard, I believe you are no worse than them."

"Besides, you've been in the regiment headquarters for so long, you've read the map, and you've learned a lot from the staff officers.

Yang Ling's words made Jiao Chaoming dispel his doubts, and when he thought of being able to lead troops to fight, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

"In this way, how about you go and be the deputy of the first battalion commander Junko?" Seeing the happy Jiao Chaoming, Yang Ling thought for a while and asked.

As a deputy to the first battalion commander, that is, the deputy battalion commander, although he is now attached to the regiment of the major, but after all, he is a miscellaneous member of the regimental headquarters, and he is an idle position.

But when he became the deputy battalion commander of the major, the situation was very different, he really held the real power, how could this not make Jiao Chaoming excited.

"Thank you for the cultivation of the group!" Jiao Chaoming stood up and saluted excitedly.

"Go down to the camp and cooperate with Shunzi well, catch up the training, don't know how to ask more and learn more......" Yang Ling waved his hand for Jiao Chaoming to put his hand down, and instructed carefully.

"Yes! Tuanza, I will never disgrace you! Jiao Chaoming also listened carefully, patting his chest and assuring Yang Ling.

"Okay, let's go get busy first, and I'll report to the first battalion tomorrow."

"Yes!" Jiao Chaoming saluted, and then left happily.

These are all old brothers who follow him, living a life of licking blood from the knife, and Yang Ling will naturally not treat them badly.

In case he becomes the deputy brigade commander at that time and arrives in the brigade, it will not be good to directly interfere in the personnel of the regiment at that time, it is better to transfer the old brothers to the appropriate positions now, and it is difficult for others to say anything, after all, the regiment is still in charge of its own affairs.
