3.47 Acting troops

The reserve division passed the examination of the Ministry of National Defense and was designated as the 99th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, with two brigades under its jurisdiction, 301 and 302. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The 301st Brigade has the 531st Regiment, 532nd Regiment, 533rd Regiment, artillery company, special service battalion, engineer battalion and other subordinate units. The brigade commander was Colonel Shen Yuanlong, and the deputy brigade commander was Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Jing.

The 302nd Brigade has three regiments, 535, 536 and 537, artillery companies, special service battalions, engineer battalions and other subordinate units. Brigade Commander Colonel Wang Shankui, Deputy Brigade Commander Lieutenant Colonel Xie Wendong.

The division headquarters of the 99th Division has under the jurisdiction of the artillery regiment and supplementary regiment, the training battalion, the guard battalion, and some directly subordinate organs and logistics support units. Colonel Richie.

The 99th Division is an adjustment division of 2 brigades and 6 regiments, and due to the large number of reserve divisions, Jiang Baili, the eldest brother, gave his little brother 2 more regimental numbers.

However, even the strange establishment of the 6th regiment could not arrange the huge number of men and horses of the reserve division, so Division Commander Huang had to write about the small units, each regiment is the establishment of the "44" system, which is much more than the number of regiments of the ordinary "33 system", and the 301 and 302 brigades have nearly 9,000 men.

The total number of the 99th Division exceeded 25,000 people, which had already caught up with one division of the Japanese army.

Another advantage of the 99th Division being fixed is that Huang Haoran finally stepped into the ranks of generals, and from the moment he put on the general's gold star, Major General Huang finally entered the upper echelons of the Chinese army, and had more "right to speak" in the upcoming war.

Zhao Wenlong is the commander of the engineering regiment of the teaching corps, and when he and his troops arrived in Changshu, the 99th Division had already been stationed, most of the 99th Division's barracks were in the northwest of the city, and the barracks left for the engineer regiment were in the southeast of the city, with the entire Changshu city in between, and the two engineer battalions of the 99th Division were stationed next to the engineering regiment, and they were already working in full swing on the national defense line.....

Li Wei is the deputy head of Zhao Wenlong, he knows that his regiment, which is highly valued by German military instructors, has always regarded himself as the elite of the national army, and has never looked down on the old-style troops in the brother troops, not to mention the 99th Division, a third-rate unit that has just been pulled up, in Zhao Wendong's eyes, the 99th Division is the belly of the fish in the Central Army, and it is better not to form such a force, if it is to be formed, the 88th Division and the 87th Division should be formed, as well as the German armament unit such as the Teaching Corps. Only these German troops can fight against the ferocious little Japanese devils.

As soon as people feel good about themselves, this attitude becomes arrogant, and Commander Zhao, the colonel, should have reported in front of Huang Haoran, a major general and division commander, but Commander Zhao Wenlong was unwilling to do so!

Regiment Commander Zhao asked his regiment to camp at the station, and he and several senior officers in the regiment went to the national defense line to check, and he wanted to calculate the total amount of the project so that the progress of the project could be arranged.

The "national defense line," which occupies a very high weight in the minds of the highest authorities, is now investigating and dealing with so many problems, and the officials of the Ministry of Defense feel that they have a sword hanging over their heads at any time, and who knows when this sword will fall......

Therefore, now the investment in the three national defense lines of Wuxian (Suzhou) and Fushan and Wuxi is Jiangyin, Zhapu, Pinghu and Jiashan is doubling and doubling!

Regiment Commander Zhao looked at the barren land and said: "These local officials only know about corruption and fraud, and I am afraid that in this 'national defense line' project, except for the 36th, 57th, 87th, and 88th divisions of our Central Army, the 1st Independent Engineer Regiment, the Engineer School Training Team, and the part built by the Military Police Regiment, the rest are such rotten projects!" ”

"These bastards, even such a key national defense project dare to reach out, it's just dead!" One battalion commander accosted on the sidelines, and the rest of the people echoed loudly.

"Such an important military project should not use local forces in the first place, whether it is for quality or secrecy!"

Regiment Commander Zhao said and raised his binoculars to observe the construction site across the river, where two engineer battalions of the 99th Division were under construction, and there was almost no dust on the construction site, let alone any large machinery.

Head Zhao pursed his lips and said:

"The 99th Division's buns, their sappers know what kind of engineering construction? Looking at the movement, I also know that it is perfunctory, but it is a pity that the state's funds have raised these useless things! Brothers! Let's go over and guide these dirt buns well! Let them see what a real sapper is! ”

The officers behind him also wanted to see the dirt buns of these third-rate troops, so that they could show their superiority in teaching the general army, a model unit of ground weapons!

Seven or eight soldiers put a wooden fence in the middle of the road, and on the left side of dozens of sacks filled with sand piled up a simple machine gun fortification, on which an antique machine gun was placed, and one of the brackets was returned.....

The leader of the sentry was a squad leader, unbuttoned his military uniform, holding a cigarette, leaning on a chair, shaking a fan and looking at the passing people.

Soldiers with motley rifles walked back and forth in the crowd searching, occasionally snatching things from the people's hands and throwing them into the wooden sentry box next to them.

Head Zhao's eyes were full of disdain! He kicked the horse in his crotch with his spurs and led his officers to the sentry.

"Get out of the way! We are from the Central Teaching Corps, and we have to go over! ”

A staff officer stepped forward to speak, his voice full of contempt!

The leading officer who set up a card here is none other than Wang Xiaomeng, who joined the 10th Temporary Brigade in Wucheng, the young man who was lying in the muddy water and was so frightened by the sound of gunfire that he didn't dare to move forward.

Now he is a squad leader of the 99 is 301 Brigade Engineer Battalion, and his original squad leader Chuan Bao has now become the deputy company commander of the 2nd Company of the Engineer Battalion.

Chuan Bao's military quality is not excellent, but he does have some talent in civil engineering, and he was favored by the bearded Clough in the German military advisory group, and trained to become a professional engineer commander.

An illiterate country doll can become an engineer commander, one can imagine how much Huang Haoran has spent on the cultural education of officers and soldiers over the years.

There are many more examples like Chuan Bao, Master Huang has changed the fate of many people over the years, including himself......

Chuan Bao was drawn to the camouflage unit this week, and the task to be carried out by the camouflage unit is probably the most unpopular among the 99th Division.

Many people would rather have a few ribs stabbed by Brigade Commander Shen on the bayonet field than perform such a task.

The task of this unit is to appear near Changshu in the form of a third-rate unit of the Central Army, and to do some evil things every once in a while, so as to confuse Japanese spies and traitors in the vicinity and prevent the 99th Division from being prematurely listed by the Japanese army in Shanghai.
