"Let's take a break!" Wei Hanchao looked into the distance and frowned. Ever since they attacked the devil's airfield, they have been being watched by the devil.

He had just seen Meng Xiang's telegram and didn't say anything about it. Such an obvious thing, if he was there, would have brought it up. Thinking of Pharmacist Tang's chubby smiling face, he couldn't help but laugh too, and muttered to himself, "I'm too underestimated to look down on me, it's not interesting to fight with them!" ”

"You take people south, cross the Yellow River and return to the headquarters of the Vanguard Army. I continue to whet the devil's appetite! Wei Hanchao said to Niu Shi and Fu Yucheng and the others.

Although Fu Yucheng joined the vanguard army and became the commander of the fourth battalion of the Reading Force, he has always been more taciturn than Rat Ba. For Wei Hanchao's order, he nodded lukewarmly. However, the commander of the sixth battalion, He Banshan, another newly sealed, shouted: "Although our family is not familiar with the surroundings, but we didn't say anything about fighting little devils on the battlefield, take me with you." Or maybe you're too few, aren't you? ”

Wei Hanchao smiled when he heard this: "Four hundred people is already a lot, so it is more flexible and mobile. But you still have to carry more than 2,000 old and weak, you must be careful! The rat next to him nodded slightly. This time, Wei Hanchao transferred all the six battalion commanders back to the division, leaving only three hundred clone soldiers and one hundred elites newly selected by him. After getting rid of more and more baggage, they are safer.

"Yes!" Niu Shi didn't say anything else, just accepted the order, this is what Wei Hanchao admires most about these security group soldiers.

Seeing their mighty people walking away, Wei Hanchao's eyes narrowed, and he turned to laugh and said backwards: "To the north, let's break into the imperial city of Beiping together!" ”

At this time, Meng Xiang was worried about the establishment of the army, with the establishment, there were people, and there was no shortage of weapons, but the arrangement of this officer made Meng Xiang worried, there were too few senior officers.

"Huang Huamin is not suitable for the position of division commander at this time, he lacks a lot of common sense in advanced strategy!" Fan Chong said directly that he was very familiar with Huang Huamin, and had taught Huang Huamin military knowledge, and he knew his level very well, "If he takes the position of regiment commander and slowly trains for two years, it will be feasible." But being promoted to division commander all at once will only hurt him! He needs to be systematically trained. ”

There was no one else in the room, only Meng Xiang, Fan Chong, and Tang Yaoshi, so Fan Chong, as the head of the half-division, spoke mercilessly. The mistake made by Huang Huamin on the Eastern Front two days ago is a clear example, the fighter plane cannot be grasped, and when it comes to the overall strategic situation, it is even more fatal. The intensive experiment that Meng Xiang praised he carried out, but after it was spread, it attracted a lot of criticism. At that time, the people of the whole country actively supported the resistance and donated a few pieces of ocean they had accumulated, but Huang Huamin's waste of ammunition angered many people.

He even carried Meng Xiang's black cauldron on his back, and only then did Meng Xiang propose to make him the division commander, but he was directly vetoed by Fan Chong. At this time, Huang Huamin's coming to power undoubtedly aroused public indignation.

"If you really want to talk about it, the domestic officer forces can be concentrated into four forces at this time." Fan Chong also knew about Meng Xiang. The choice of Huang Huamin is to compensate, and the second is also to pull out the general, and there is no way to do it.

"The one who is just red is the Whampoa department. Jiang Zhongzheng started according to this, and with the name of the principal, he won the loyalty of a large number of Whampoa students. However, their patriotism can be learned, but their military literacy in short-term training is not good. Fan Chong continued, for the high-ranking officials of the Whampoa Department who are popular at the moment, because of the environment at the time, short-term military training really can't learn much, but relies on blood and slow accumulation on the battlefield to succeed step by step.

"The military foundation is not stable, and it is okay to deal with bandit militias. Against himself, it's a little worse. However, there is a group of rising stars among their later students! It's a pity that it's always inappropriate for soldiers to interfere in politics! Fan Chong shook his head and said.

Meng Xiang, who was educated in the altar of later generations, has a positive opinion on this.

At this time, most of the popular students were students in the first three phases of Whampoa. They only received short-term training, and they occupied the power of the Central Army's old Jiang and his family, not only squeezing out outsiders, but even their juniors did not have much chance to get ahead. If it weren't for the great losses of the Anti-Japanese War officer corps, no matter how good Hu Lian and others were, they would have needed to survive for a few more years.

However, it is also the rise of the third phase of Whampoa that makes Lao Jiang feel the importance of balance. Not only did the students in the first three phases obey him, but even those who stayed behind were not as good as the principals in the later phases. Deng Yanda was executed two years ago in order to eliminate the trouble of his henchmen.

In recent years, under Lao Jiang's deliberate inclination, Huangpu students after the third phase have gradually received more opportunities for promotion. But after all, there are still a large number of talents who have not received enough attention, and Meng Xiang's abacus is aimed at these people, after all, later generations have heard more names and know some roots.

"Wang Yaowu, Hu Lian, Zhang Lingpu, who else?" Meng Xiang lowered his head and pondered, he had always envied the memories of other traversers, but he just couldn't remember them. "Wait a while, I need to ask Rat Er to collect a complete list of officers, and read through the list according to it, and I can always have a flash of inspiration and remember a few more. It's just that it doesn't have to be recruited! ”

He couldn't help but think of the fact that he extended an olive branch to Wang Yaowu some time ago and was politely refused, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Standing side by side with it is the Baoding system. The students who came out of the Baoding Military School had the best military quality. Fan Chong proudly continued, "Baoding alumni are all over the country, although Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, Li Jishen, Tang Shengzhi, Liu Xiang, etc. are from Baoding, they all violated the school rules and became big warlords. Even Jiang Zhongzheng is a student of the crash course. The basic knowledge and skills of the students in Baoding are the most solid, and you can understand the heritage of Baoding by just looking at Ye Ting, Fu Zuoyi, Bai Chongxi, Xue Yue and others. ”

"Most of the alumni in Baoding are politically neutral, and a few elementary school students are quite good, I don't know if they can come." Fan Chong said uncertainly.

Most of the early Baoding alumni he knew were in high positions, and some junior students also became the mainstays of the army. Although the vanguard army already has a corps-level establishment, they are only given the post of brigade and regiment, which is similar to their current position, and some are not as good. In addition, he has been hidden in the city for many years, and I don't know if I can recruit them over.

"I heard that some time ago, Mr. Baili went to Europe as a special envoy to lobby various countries, and he is coming back soon!" Pharmacist Tang suddenly interjected.

Meng Xiang's heart moved when he heard this, he looked at Pharmacist Tang's smiling face, opened his mouth but didn't say anything. However, Fan Chong sighed a little beside him: "I haven't seen my teacher for a long time!" ”

"Other military schools in China, such as Yunnan, Fengtian, Tianjin, Chengdu and other places, cannot compete with Baoding and Huangpu, but there are also many materials that can be made. It is said that the invasion of the invaders, the situation of warlords in various places will be broken, and when talents emerge in large numbers, one or two can be recruited in a timely manner. ”

Fan Chong briefly touched on this, because the means of the major warlords to win over people are extremely high, either righteousness, affection, or high-ranking officials, since they were not pulled away by Lao Jiang, the vanguard army may have a smaller surname.

"Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, more and more Chinese soldiers have studied abroad to study military affairs. There are some outstanding people who have studied in Germany, France, the United States, and even Soviet Russia. They are highly educated and have a high level of military literacy. It is more important to serve the country, and it can also attract one or two. ”

He didn't say anything, these turtles who had received a new type of education were still a bit estranged and conflicted with their ideas. The most typical is Sun Liren, who is proud and a little out of place with the Whampoa department, which leads to some misfortunes in the future.

In his previous life, hearing about Sun Liren was still very tempting, but unfortunately he couldn't recruit him.

Meng Xiang is familiar with the fact that the most concentrated returnees are the tax police corps.

In constant contact with the wounded, the Vanguard Army became acquainted with Wen Yingxing, director of the National Committee for the Management of Wounded Soldiers. This is the first commander of the Tax Police Corps, and the first Chinese to enter and graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Chen Tingjia, who was with him, was not as famous as Wen Yingxing in later generations because of his achievements.

Zhao Shuxing, who was in charge of the contact with the vanguard army, came into contact with Wang Geng, the second head of the tax police corps. It's just that in the 128 Battle of Shanghai in 32, he was falsely accused of being a spy because he strayed into the hands of the army and leaked the documents he carried with him. It has been idle since then.

In terms of ability, Wang Geng is all-round in civil and military affairs, and when he is proud, he has Lu Xiaoman's wife as his companion. Later, it can only be said that creation makes people. However, after the accident, he has been depressed and in a state of dissociation.

Meng Xiang, who got the information, immediately sensed that this was an opportunity and instructed Zhao Shuxing to keep in touch with him. I heard that in the last few days, his attitude has softened.

Meng Xiang also knows Zhao Junmai, but unfortunately according to the results of Rat Er's investigation, he is now the director of the Hunan Salt Bureau, with the support of his brother behind him, and his official career is Hengtong, but he is afraid that it will not be easy to recruit. But after all, I have to give it a try, and Meng Xiang is still very interested in this famous American martial arts master mentioned in later miscellaneous conversations.

Fan Chong only talked about the four major systems of domestic officers, in fact, there is another one that he didn't say, that is, self-formed officers who have risen step by step from the bottom. They may not have systematic military knowledge, but the experience gained from the rain of bullets is more real and valuable. Some people are born generals, and their keen senses and battlefield training have made them have the possibility of becoming famous generals.

This is the case with many generals in Beiyang, and there were many similar famous generals in the previous cold weapon era, all of whom gradually grew into famous generals through the experience of fighting in the sea of blood.

"I seem to have reserved a seat for Huang Baitao!" Meng Xiang suddenly thought of Huang Baitao, who had never come out yet.
