Chapter 153: The Officer Corps of the 54th Army
The ace general in the miscellaneous cards, to be a man to be Huang Baitao.
Meng Xiang had heard this sentence, and even if he swept it away at that time, he could know Huang Baitao's excellence.
As a traverser, naturally he can't discredit the crossing public, and the fine tradition of accepting celebrities as his younger brother can't be lost. When Meng Xiang noticed that there was a shortage of high-ranking officers in his ranks, he began to search for those who were familiar to him.
But how many positions can a division provide for others? After repeated rejections, Meng Xiang's mind also lightened a lot. But as soon as he heard that he had been promoted to a military-level unit, Meng Xiang immediately sent a telegram to tell several agents around him who were doing business, and searched for a few people who were circled. Ma Seventeen, who was doing business with Feng Yuxiang, asked him to contact Huang Baitao, who had been included in the list of Meng Xiang's celebrities, and he was serving as the chief of staff in the chief of the department.
Huang Baitao, who grew up step by step from the battle, has almost become a major general, but his official career has almost come to an end. A miscellaneous card, rootless and rootless, it is difficult to come out. He was the commander of the 41st Division, and he also had some fate with the Vanguard Army. At this time, although he was the chief of staff, it was almost the same as idle. Hearing the promise given by the vanguard army to the division commander, he was not moved.
At this time, there was no Lao Jiang's insight, and there was no loyalty to Lao Jiang. Meng Xiang took a fancy to his loyalty and decency, so he chose him.
He had also heard of the fame of the vanguard army, and had seen the generosity of the vanguard army's weapons, so he naturally longed to lead a strong army to gallop freely on the battlefield. After hesitating for a day, he finally agreed, and Meng Xiang had just received the news today.
"Can't you raise it that high all at once?" Tang Yaoshi stopped Meng Xiang's intention to directly appoint Huang Baitao as the commander of the 50th Division. In his opinion, Meng Xiang's several appointments were a bit risky, and he naturally didn't know that Meng Xiang in later generations had contact with the biographies of several people, and he had also heard a lot of gossip, so he didn't hesitate.
"I've got to know him carefully!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.
"Where will Deputy Division Commander Niu and the others be?" Pharmacist Tang asked directly.
Meng Xiang's heart moved, he already knew what Pharmacist Tang meant, no matter when, the situation of the old subordinates had to be considered specially, and it was not without reason to rank them according to seniority. If you promote outsiders, who will be loyal to you in the future. Ping Yueli may hinder the newcomer's journey according to seniority, but at a critical moment, these old people can live and die together.
But fortunately, he had already arranged it.
There are many celebrities who cast their nets everywhere to solicit them, but there are not many responses.
For example, Dai Anlan, a well-known anti-Japanese hero in later generations, but he had just been promoted to brigade commander, but he categorically refused the position of division commander set aside by the vanguard army. As an old Jiang protégé of the third phase of Huangpu, he has a broad career in front of him, so he naturally will not turn around and vote. Meng Xiang just gave it a try with this idea, and didn't expect to pull these people from the previous issues of the Huangpu Department.
For another example, Wang Yaowu, who is also in the third phase of Huangpu, is very good at interpersonal communication with foreign countries, and can fight, and his career is smooth.
The surname of the vanguard has been decided, that is, to win over those who have unsatisfactory careers.
"I've got it!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.
Now the three divisions have all set up personnel, and the three of them are discussing this for this purpose.
General Niu Yi, who was regarded by Meng Xiang as his first confidant, served as the deputy commander of the army, and part-time as the captain of the teaching team and the head of the recruit training camp. The training of the recruit training and training team cannot be done by outsiders.
Hu Yi, who was transferred back from the Reading Brigade, will become the head of the new security regiment.
At this time, it is said that it is a security regiment, but it is almost a brigade. The two MG-34 machine guns in each squad, as well as the tank armor that was arranged first, showed that the security regiment was the absolute elite of the vanguard army.
With the rise of the vanguard army, Meng Xiang had already heard a lot of information from other forces that had come to woo people. It's a pity that they didn't know the loyalty of these clones, but it caused Meng Xiang's vigilance. I am digging the foot of the wall, and others are digging my own corner.
The retention of the security regiment is to avoid being mixed into the establishment system of the Central Army, and in the event of an accident, this elite army built by pure clones will be his trump card to protect his life.
Rat Yi, who is also an absolute descendant of Meng Xiang, still stays there to preside over the specific affairs of the Reading Brigade.
At that time, Guo Huaiyu, who escaped from Nanjing together, had already set up his own mountain, but Lu Shiming and Wu Xinhua had been following Rat Yi's side. This time in adjustment, in order to appease the people over there, Meng Xiang specially ordered the Reading Brigade to be upgraded to a Reading Division, although this kind of establishment is not yet in the regular establishment of the Central Army, but at least the name is better. The Chinese people attach great importance to this. If we continue to operate in the central government, it is not impossible to have a regular establishment. Old Chiang couldn't wait to give a formation and divide and win over people from the vanguard army.
"That's fine!" Pharmacist Tang nodded slightly, and the folding fan in his hand opened again.
Fan Chong ignored these things mixed with other factors, and just discussed the new list with them one by one in the middle of the night. The night sky outside is very quiet, and even the occasional gunshots and explosions highlight the tranquility of the night.
"The commander of the 41st Division is Niu Ergen, and the chief of staff Xie Chengrui."
When Fan Chong read Niu Er's name, he also smiled. The first batch of clone soldiers named by Meng Xiang himself back then, many people's names are really a bit thunderous.
"The commander of the 50th Division, Huang Baitao, the chief of staff, Huang Sanshu, and the deputy division commander Niu Sanshu." Fan Chong smiled and looked at Meng Xiang, whose face did not change, and naturally knew in his heart that these were definitely fake names, and at this status, no one would directly take such a brainless name.
Meng Xiang is also very happy in his heart, if these people are hung up with the rank of general in the future, after the names of the rows are pronounced, they will definitely be even more thunderous. However, he also felt that it was a bit too much, and when the time was right, he needed to adjust the names of these people, and he would definitely bully these honest people like the clones, after all, this was his own descendant.
Huang Baitao started with the 25th Division, and now he is the commander of the 50th Division, which is twice the number, which can be regarded as a good fortune.
"The commander of the 18th Division, Long Yiren, and the chief of staff, Gong Chu." Long Yiren is Long Yi, and Fan Chong has known him for a long time. But he didn't know the name Gong Chu.
This chief of staff was also dug up by Meng Xiang, and it was Gong Chu, who was widely known in later generations as the first red rebel general.
In fact, Gong Chu's defection to the enemy was a little confused about the future in the Great Liquidation. It's not like his subordinate Yang Yuchun's whole family was killed, and he hates the Red Party to the core.
The reason why he was called the first rebel general was only because he was the chief of staff of the Central Military Region at that time, and when Liu Baicheng was seriously ill, he also acted as the chief of the general staff of the General Headquarters of the Red Army.
In the stir-fry of later generations, Meng Xiang was very familiar with this gossip, so he naturally thought of him. Since he can stand out from the crowd, this ability is undoubtedly very high.
Gong Chu was not happy at this time, and after surrendering to the enemy, he was ordered to deal with his own people and pay the certificate of surrender, which was not pleasant.
Intentionally or unintentionally, the final result is not very significant. So he was sent to Sun Zhonglian as a colonel and chief of staff, but he has been isolated.
At this time, the invitation of the vanguard army appeared to be very active. After thinking about it for three days, Gong Chu finally agreed to join the vanguard army and fight together.
"If you die on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, it is better than being caught in the middle and being difficult to be." As soon as Gong Chu figured it out, he immediately followed Ma Eighteen who contacted him and rushed to Jinan. After giving Sun Zhonglian four 40 anti-aircraft guns, Sun Zhonglian couldn't wait to get rid of this hot yam. It can't be used, and it can't be shaken, and someone takes over at this time, as long as it's your own person, this appointment is naturally very convenient to take out.
The position of brigade commander promised at that time, because of the upgrade of the vanguard army, became the chief of staff of the division, which can be regarded as a small promotion, and Gong Chu, who has just arrived, has no opinion.
"Air Force Wing Wing Captain Feng Yi." Fan Chong was a little emotional. Jiang Baili had advocated the formation of an air force two years earlier, but the more than 300 domestic planes had never been formed. Fan Chong, who is very familiar with this, also felt a lot of emotion when he heard the air force written by Meng Xiang inadvertently. However, at this time, the vanguard army did not yet have the ability to form an army, but only hung up a wing brand, under the jurisdiction of four brigades and a wing headquarters. Or according to the establishment of the German Air Force. With the increasing number of aircraft, the shortage of manpower has become more serious. Meng Xiang is still searching for targets in the list of the Central Army.
"Artillery Brigade Commander Kong Ci." Kong Ci's artillery command level has been recognized by everyone, and there is no objection to this. The ever-expanding artillery team, even at the division level, is sufficient, and the lack of personnel and low-key considerations still made Meng Xiang choose the establishment of the brigade level.
"What's going on with this Mountain Brigade and the Marine Brigade?"
Fan Chong looked at the list listed by Meng Xiang, he had heard of and had a general understanding of the units that appeared, but he didn't expect that Meng Xiang planned to form them now.
"And what is the plan for the formation of this navy?" Fan Chong continued to ask.
"And what is the formation of this paratrooper regiment?" He knew a little about paratroopers, but it was the first time he had heard of such a large-scale appearance of paratroopers.
