Although Yang Ling didn't know Major General and Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao, he also knew the rules of the army, and without the slightest hesitation, the crisp bump of his heels sounded, and he stood up and saluted Zhou Zhidao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yang Ling, the former lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the guerrilla battalion directly under the Nanjing Garrison Commander's Department, has seen the commander!"

Yang Ling's standing was straight, like an aspen in the cold wind, with his resolute face, and the temperament of an iron-blooded soldier made Zhou Zhidao feel good.

"Okay, I, Zhou Zhidao, on behalf of the 74th Brigade of the 151st Army, welcome you."

Major General Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao also politely returned the military salute, and then smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Yang Ling to welcome.

"Thank you, sir!" Yang Ling's voice was still neither humble nor arrogant, which made the smile on Zhou Zhidao's face even stronger, and he had already made up his mind in his heart that he would keep Yang Ling in his army no matter what.

Although Yang Ling is currently only a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander, the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao does not underestimate him in the slightest, this is a person who has won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, which is the highest honor for an officer, which also confirms Yang Ling's extraordinaryness from the side.

Zhou Zhidao shook hands with Yang Ling, but his smiling eyes were looking Yang Ling up and down, just like his in-laws looking at their little daughter-in-law, the more they looked at it, the more they liked it.

Zhou Zhidao held Yang Ling's hand and didn't let go, Yang Ling was also embarrassed, and the head of the lieutenant colonel of the containment who followed him at this moment coughed and reminded: "Brigade, it's windy outside, let's go into the house and talk."

"Let's talk in the house, talk in the house." Zhou Zhidao let go of the hand holding Yang Ling.

Yang Ling also turned sideways at the right time to get out of the way and made a request to Zhou Zhidao.

There was a fire in the house, Zhou Zhidao and Yang Ling sat down around the brazier, and Yang Ling instructed Qin Shou to make boiling water for Zhou Zhidao and them.

Although Zhou Zhidao is already a major general and brigade commander, the entire 74th Army is not considered the main force in the battle sequence of the National Revolutionary Army.

"Yang Ling, where is your hometown?"

Zhou Zhidao wanted to win Yang Ling into his 151st Brigade, so as soon as he sat down, he shushed and asked for warmth.

"Sir, my hometown is from Jiangxi."

Zhou Zhidao laughed when he heard Yang Ling say this: "Oh, then we are still fellow villagers, I am a newcomer from Jiangxi Yongxin."

With this layer of hometown relations, Zhou Zhidao wanted to pull Yang Ling into his own troops more and more, in these years, although the troops were under the command of the central government, but there were still many factions, such as the civil engineering department, the Huangpu department, and the provincial armies of the provinces had their own small groups.

Zhou Zhidao was extremely enthusiastic, and asked Yang Ling about all aspects of his life, which made Yang Ling feel a little flattered.

Although I don't know what the purpose of Zhou Zhidao is so enthusiastic, Yang Ling also answered Zhou Zhidao's questions one by one.

After Zhou Zhidao was concerned about Yang Ling's life, he began to change the topic and praised Yang Ling.

"I have also heard about the deeds of your bloody battle with the Japanese invaders on the way from Shanghai to Nanjing, you dare to fight, kill countless enemies, play the military prestige of our army, and grow the prestige of our army, you have done a very good job."

"It is the duty of our soldiers to kill the enemy and serve the country, Chief Zhou Miao praised." Although Yang Ling won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, he was also very modest.

Zhou Zhidao saw that Yang Ling was still humble, not arrogant or impatient when he received the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, which made him very satisfied: "In my 74th Army, the rewards and punishments are clear, in my opinion, they all deserve it."

Yang Ling saw Zhou Zhidao praising himself like this, and he also smiled and stopped talking, if he was modest, it would be hypocrisy.

Zhou Zhidao also changed his words and asked tentatively: "This time, you are assigned to my 74th Army, are you going to go to that division?"

"Humble duties, everything is subject to the arrangement of the superior."

The 74th Army is subordinate to the 51st, 57th and 58th Divisions, of which the 51st Division is good at attacking, the 57th Division is good at defending, and the 58th Division is both offensive and defensive.

It's just that the 57th Division has not yet been assigned to the command of the 74th Army, and only the 51st and 58th are currently available.

Yang Ling's answer made Zhou Zhidao stunned for a moment, and then laughed, looking at Yang Ling who was neither humble nor arrogant, but he was not slow to react, and let the chief decide, so that he could avoid offending people for the first time.

Zhou Zhidao smiled again and asked, "How about my 51st Brigade of the 151st Division?"

Now Zhou Zhidao is the deputy commander of the 51st Division and the commander of the 151st Brigade, he has already said this, Yang Ling naturally has no room for maneuver, once he refuses, it will really offend people, and the 51st Division is not bad, after all, it is the foundation of the Central Army.

"Chief Zhou, then I might as well be respectful." Yang Ling agreed.

Zhou Zhidao was very happy to receive Yang Ling's reply, and he turned his head and asked the adjutant: "Do we currently have any vacant positions in the 151st Brigade?"

The adjutant replied: "There are currently vacancies for the commander of the second battalion of the 301st Regiment, the commander of the third battalion of the 301st regiment, the deputy commander of the 301st regiment, the commander of the 302nd regiment, the deputy commander of the 302nd regiment, the commander of the second battalion of the 302nd regiment, ......."

Although the 74th Army was established for a short time, it participated in the Battle of Songhu since its establishment, and participated in the defense of Nanjing without having time to take a breath, and the whole army suffered heavy losses, and the 151st Brigade was not spared.

"Yang Ling, do you think you like that?" In order to win over Yang Ling, Zhou Zhidao gave him the right to choose.

Now Yang Ling is the lieutenant colonel battalion commander, and there are many vacant battalion-level positions in the 151st Brigade, so he thought about it and replied: "I'll go to the third battalion of the 301st Regiment."

Seeing that Yang Ling did not choose the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander with his mouth wide open, but chose a battalion-level position that was comparable to the current one, the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao was very satisfied, what he liked was this kind of character that was not arrogant or impatient.

"Okay, you will go to the 3rd Battalion of the 301st Regiment as the battalion commander," Zhou Zhidao immediately agreed, and added after a pause: "Now that the acting head of the 301st Regiment, Commander Ji Hongru, has not recovered from his serious injuries in Nanjing, you will temporarily take his original position as deputy commander and temporarily take charge of the 301st."

"Yes!" Yang Ling immediately stood up and saluted.

Wu Keding, the former commander of the 301st Regiment, was temporarily removed because of fear of war when he was in Nanjing, and was temporarily commanded by Ji Hongru, the deputy commander of the regiment.

Deputy Regiment Commander Ji Hongru also lived up to high expectations, and instead of being afraid, he let the 301st Regiment howl like a wolf, and collided with the Japanese vanguard head-on, and the two sides were killed in the dark, until he was seriously injured and rescued.

Therefore, the 301st regiment not only has no regiment commander now, but the deputy regiment commander is also seriously injured in the hospital, and the twelve company commanders below are killed by three-quarters, and only empty shelves remain.

Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao smiled and pressed his hand to him and asked him to sit down: "Since you have arrived at my 151st Brigade, you are your own brother, and you don't have to be so formalistic in the future."

"Now that our conditions are limited, you can be wronged for the time being......"

Brigade commander Zhou Zhidao pulled Yang Ling and said for a long time, to the effect that he hoped that he would be able to lead his troops to fight in a down-to-earth manner, as long as he made outstanding achievements, the future would definitely be unlimited.

For this big cake painted by Zhou Zhidao, Yang Ling doesn't really believe it, what is not in his hand is always empty, and it is his own when he gets it, but since the 74th Army is here, it must be much better than the miscellaneous army in all aspects, and it can also fight devils better.

"Then I'll leave first, and if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come directly to me."

"Thank you, Traveler!" Yang Ling was also grateful to Zhou Zhidao for his kindness and sent him to the door.

Although the 74th Army has not been established for a long time, it can be regarded as a descendant of the Central Army, and most of the middle and lower-level officers are from military academies such as Huangpu.
