Chapter 312: Zhenjiang Inspection II
readx; The Nationalist Army has been in control of Zhenjiang for more than half a year, and because of its long-term military confrontation with the Beiyang Army on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, it has also built Zhenjiang and Nanjing into defensive fortresses, and built many fortifications.

Among these fortifications, there are many soldiers of the National Army, among which the defense of the front line of Zhenjiang is responsible for the Seventh Division of the National Army.
Chen Jingyun had already decided that he would come to inspect the troops, and the relevant troops on the front line had already been prepared, so they were waiting for Chen Jingyun to come for the review.
Therefore, when Chen Jingyun led a large group of people to inspect and inspect, all he saw was a neat military appearance and high morale, and Chen Jingyun smiled while watching. Even if he knew in his heart that these superficial skills were deliberately created by the generals below, they couldn't be taken seriously, but how could he say it, if he couldn't even do the superficial skills, how could he talk about anything else, so although the superficial skills seemed a bit fake, he could still understand some of the actual situation.
The review did not last long, and after Chen Jingyun led a large group of people to inspect the front-line fortifications of the troops, he inspected the results of the overall preparedness work. After all, the place where Chen Jingyun had to look was not a little bit, but a long time, and if the work was not completed, it would be difficult to complete the preparatory work in a short time, because the fixed fortifications such as cement barbed wire were not the kind of civil fortifications that were temporarily built during the war.
Chen Jingyun watched as he walked, this time he looked very carefully, at least more seriously than looking at the drill of the troops under review, looking at the appearance of the troops, there may not be any problems, but looking at the specific physical objects, and it is such a large group of fortifications, so if there is a problem, it is easy to see.
Walking into a trench, Chen Jingyun looked left and right, stretched out his hand and touched it, and then turned around and entered a low anti-artillery hole, which was not a solid cement structure, but an ordinary civil structure. The cement output of the national army is not high, although two cement plants have been put into operation in Fuzhou and Zhejiang, but in addition to the military, but also to meet the civilian market, and the current cement is still too expensive, large-scale use for fortifications is still relatively luxurious, so when the national army builds fortifications, generally only in permanent fixed fortifications, some important positions, as well as heavy machine gun positions, front-line headquarters and other areas will use cement, and it is not a model of cement reinforcement, but a model of cement and bamboo. The production of cement is insufficient, and the steel production of the national army is even more insufficient, and most of the output is used to supply military production, and now several economic development zones in Fuzhou and Shanghai and Hangzhou are under large-scale construction, and a large number of basic materials such as cement and steel are also needed. Then there is the issue of price, the money of the national army is limited, and it cannot afford to purchase such logistical materials.
After the model of cement and bamboo has been proved feasible by many tests, it has been rapidly popularized in the construction of fortifications on the front line, which can not only effectively reduce costs and alleviate the shortage of steel production of the national army, but also ensure a certain number of surnames. Chen Jingyun didn't expect these cement and bamboo fortifications to be strong enough to be used for hundreds and eighty years, in his opinion, the civil war will only last a few years at most, and the southern Jiangsu region is estimated to be a year or two, maybe it is still on his own initiative to go north to fight Beiyang, these fortifications have not had a chance to be used, the reason why these fortifications are built is just to prevent the Beiyang Army from taking the initiative to go south.
It took Chen Jingyun an afternoon to walk down in such a circle, and he was all walking in the afternoon, drilling and walking in the trenches, and even the military uniforms on his body were dirty, and the generals who came with Chen Jingyun were no better, they were all covered in dust, and a few older ones were even a little out of breath, although they were all soldiers, but those senior generals had been many years away from physical training, although this physical fitness was not bad, but it was still a little tiring to walk down in an afternoon.
Seeing that the weather was almost over, Chen Jingyun said: "It's almost, go back!" ā
The mental outlook of the troops is still good, and all kinds of preparatory work have been done quite properly, and although some of those fortifications have not yet been completed, they have already been relatively well fortified in important places. Looking at it all the way, although there are small problems, it is harmless, and Chen Jingyun will not say that he will take out those trivial things at this time to preach to his subordinates. This kind of large-scale public place to hold the parties accountable on the spot will greatly affect the morale and cohesion of the troops, what is the problem, find out, and then quietly solve it is the king, if it is a big trouble on the spot, there are only two reasons, the first is that someone provokes a political struggle and wants to take the opportunity to kick people out of power; The second is that the leader is stupid!
When Chen Jingyun said that he wanted to go back, the large group of generals who followed behind him were all relieved, especially Xu Jingqing, as the person in charge of Zhenjiang defense, felt that the big stone in his heart was put down, and he also heard a little about the temper of his own commander, although he looked kind on the surface, but the means were extremely ruthless, and there have been two shocks in the officialdom of Fujian and Zhejiang in the past six months, the first time was that after Chen Jingyun returned to Fuzhou from Shanghai last year, under the pretext of cracking down on corruption, he arrested and shot a large number of officials. Not long ago, Chen Jingyun was assassinated, and the Investigation Bureau took the opportunity to play again, not only arresting a large number of secret agents of other forces, but also arresting a large number of officials, including many high-ranking officials in important provincial political positions.
With the cooperation of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Supervision, Chen Jingyun has never been merciful in dealing with these criminal officials or those who have colluded with other hostile forces, and with the cooperation of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Supervision, a hasty trial has sent them directly to prison, and in serious cases, they have been sentenced to death.
After two major purges, although it is not possible to make every official have a clean air, but the arrest of so many officials is to temporarily suppress the trend of corruption and bribery, and it is impossible to completely eliminate their corruption, but Chen Jingyun needs to control this situation within his acceptable range, get hundreds of thousands of yuan to improve his life, and buy some jewelry for his aunt's wife, which is understandable, and those who are insatiable, There are tens of thousands of moths in his hands, and Chen Jingyun can't bear it.
Although Chen Jingyun has never killed anyone himself, there are many people who have been ordered to be executed by him!
Anyone who knows Chen Jingyun well knows that Chen Jingyun looks kind, but he is a ruthless person in his bones, and he is not merciless when he kills people.
Although Chen Jingyun is much better in the military system, he has not killed senior generals so far, and he even rarely asks questions in ordinary times, but if the subordinate generals are not effective, then he will not hesitate to remove the changer, let alone go further. Xu Jingqing doesn't think that he is the same as Chen Weihua, who was trusted by Chen Jingyun to the point that after being removed from his post after a catastrophe, he stepped back into the core system of the National Army after a few months of idleness.
Now seeing that Chen Jingyun's face is good, he is obviously satisfied with this inspection, and Xu Jingqing can be regarded as relieved.
A group of people hurriedly walked back again, Chen Jingyun did not live in Zhenjiang, but returned to the special train, and invited a few high-ranking generals such as Shen Gang and Xu Jingqing to have dinner in the special train in the evening. During the banquet, Chen Jingyun also put down the shelf he was holding in Pingyue, and drank a few glasses of wine with these people, which can be regarded as a very happy conversation, these people talk, naturally it is impossible to talk about the wind and snow, and the number is small, Shen Gang, Xu Jingqing, Yuan Fang, Yu Ruofei and several others are the core senior generals of the National Army, and there are no outsiders, so the topic is naturally sensitive and important.
"Judging from the news reported from the north, Beiyang has made great moves in Anhui during this time, not only reorganizing the three divisions of the Anhui Army, but I heard that Cao Kun's third division also took advantage of this opportunity to expand a brigade." Shen Gang said: "And the air force reported that they have found traces of the Beiyang Army thirty miles north of Anqing, although the number has not yet been identified, but it should be Cao Kun's troops!" ā
The Air Force has expanded rapidly this year, and has formed three wings, which are equipped with four aircraft squadrons and corresponding logistics personnel, and these four squadrons are assigned according to demand, some have more reconnaissance planes, and some have more bombers, for example, the first wing stationed in southern Jiangsu has more bombers, and there are two squadrons of bombers, and then there is also a squadron of reconnaissance planes and a squadron of fighters. After the Nationalist Army took control of Nanjing, it also built a large airfield in Nanjing to accommodate aircraft operations, so the main planes of the First Wing were also deployed at the Nanjing base, and then some reconnaissance planes were also deployed in Shanghai.
The second wing is deployed in southern Anhui, mainly in the Anqing base, this base has just been built, and the airport is still the kind that has just been leveled, but now the aircraft does not have high requirements for the take-off and landing runway, and the flat mud and grass can be. The second squadron is mainly composed of reconnaissance planes, with two squadrons of reconnaissance planes, a squadron of fighters, and a squadron of bombers, and that squadron of bombers has not been transferred over to Nanjing for the time being, and will not be transferred over until the Anqing base is completed.
The Third Wing was established for a shorter period of time, and it had not yet been formed into an army, and the two squadrons of reconnaissance planes that had formed an army were transferred to Guangzhou, and one was transferred to Nanchang as a simple reconnaissance force. None of the remaining squadrons of bombers and fighters have yet to be formed.
