readx; The battalion commander of the 4312th Infantry Battalion is a major who is about forty years old, because he is a big man in the Northeast, so he is tall and big, and he is more than one meter nine tall among all the people here, this person's surname is Zhao, his name is Lindong, he was born in the ninth phase of the Wuhan Military Academy, and he was ranked 36th in the infantry department when he graduated. He was promoted to major when he was nearly forty years old. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Don't look at Zhao Lindong's mediocre qualifications, and his official rank is not high, but Zhao Lindong, an officer who is about forty years old, is the core officer group in the current army, and the current officer group of the Chinese Army can probably be divided into several categories, the first is the military cadets trained in the former Qing Dynasty, including the graduates of various military academies in the former Qing Dynasty, such as Nanjing Army Middle School, Beiyang Military Academy, etc., and non-commissioned officers, this group is a veritable veteran of the Chinese Army, including Chen Jingyun himself, and other Shen Gang, Chen Yi, Zuo Yugang and a large number of generals and even marshals are all these people, although these people are already old, and the youngest is in their fifties, but they are worthy of the name of the power in the Chinese army.

During the civil war, Chen Jingyun founded the Fuzhou Military Academy with the Fujian Army Primary School and Zhejiang Army Primary School in the Qing Dynasty as the core, and in order to meet the needs of a large number of officers of the National Army during the Civil War and recruited a large number of students, the early stage was three months for the period, and the later period was half a year for the period to train a large number of accelerated officers until the Fuzhou Military Academy moved to Wuhan, a total of 12 periods were founded, and more than 4,000 graduates were trained. Although most of the quality of these crash course officers is not good, they held up the sky of the national army at that time, and many of them were quickly promoted by virtue of their exploits in the civil war, and a large number of generals emerged, such as Lieutenant General Du Yanpeng, Lieutenant General Bao Gangyi, and Lieutenant General Cheng Zixian, dozens of lieutenant generals in the army were all people in this period, and several of them have been promoted to generals.

After the end of the civil war, the country was unified, the army officer school was relocated to Wuhan, and the students recruited since then were not in a three-month or half-year crash course, but in the most formal way to go through three years of systematic training, the basic skills of these graduates after graduation are not those officers in the civil war period can be compared, so the graduates of the previous period are basically quickly promoted and put into the position of intermediate officers after graduation. In the twenties, the army was almost a time when Wuhan cadets completely replaced Fuzhou cadets, and a large number of Fuzhou cadets during the civil war were transferred to the reserve.

And it was the large number of Wuhan military cadets who entered the army and gradually rose to the top that made the regularization of the Chinese army realize for the first time.

From 1915 to 1944, the Wuhan Army Military Academy had established 39 sessions, of which most of the graduates in the previous periods had already entered the level of senior officers if they had not yet retired, while those who had graduated from about 10 periods generally stayed at the level of school-level officers, and as for the graduates after the 25th term, most of them were still in the class of changing from lieutenants to school officers, and most of them were still lieutenants after the 30th term.

Zhao Lindong is not too good among the ninth graduates, and the promotion speed is relatively slow compared to many classmates, and now he is a major.

Not everyone is a military genius, not every officer can enter the rank of a colonel before the age of 30, and not every officer can become a major general at a young age before the age of 40. For the vast majority of officers, a colonel in the army in their lives is over, and even many people retire from the rank of lieutenant colonel or major, and those generals who can step into the general class in their lifetime are only a very small part.

Otherwise, there are so many colonel-level and lieutenant-level officers in China, and if they can all climb up step by step to become generals, then China will not have tens of thousands of generals.

If it was peacetime, then Zhao Lindong said that it would be impossible to break through the obstacles and be promoted to major general before retiring, but now it is a time of war, and more importantly, there are so many troops in the Chinese army, and there are countless officers, but how many can be lucky enough to participate in the actual war?

China has more than 100 divisions, numerous reading regiments, and battalions, but only a few of them really participated in the war, including the Ryukyus and Singapore, even if you add the Philippine side later, the troops mobilized will definitely not exceed 30 divisions, that is to say, at most a quarter of the officers who can directly participate in the war.

And how many of these quarters can serve as commanders of front-line field units and participate in major battles? Taking the Battle of Singapore as an example, how many battalion commanders participated in the battle, and how many battalion commanders did the whole of China have!

After this comparison, Zhao Lindong felt that as long as he played well in this battle, even if he did not make any great contributions, it would be of great help to his future promotion.

What is most important to an officer like Zhao Lindong? Medals and promotions, and how do these two come about, military merit, and how do military merit come about, to participate in the war, to put it bluntly, you have to go to the front, and you have to be in the position of the actual commander of the front-line troops. Otherwise, why is it that whenever war comes, those powerful families in China are all active up and down, in order to transfer the children of the family who serve in the army to the front-line troops, and only when they reach the front line can they fight, have military merits, and have military merits to be promoted.

The reason why there are many children of powerful people in the [***] team and the promotion speed is generally faster, is because they can be mobilized to the front line through various means when every war comes, so as to get opportunities that others cannot have.

Although this kind of opportunity is accompanied by great risks, but the risks are worth it compared to the gains, after all, it is very dangerous for ordinary soldiers to go online, but for officers, especially officers above the rank of major, going to the front line is actually not as dangerous as outsiders imagine, unless it is a defeat, and it is a big rout or the kind of defeat that is surrounded and annihilated, otherwise it is really not an easy thing for an infantry battalion major commander like Zhao Lindong to die.

If Zhao Lindong wants to fight his way out of a group of powerful people, today's opportunity is very important!

Most of the children of the powerful in the Chinese military group are famous, and there is no other country in the world that has a situation like China, where almost all powerful families will send their descendants to join the army. Chen Jingyun has been engaged in the propaganda of the excellent army in China for decades, and it is not only the general provision of military status, but more importantly, almost all of those big families are active soldiers with the rank of general. A general can support a family's glory and wealth for decades, but even if a civilian official sits at the level of chief minister, he will be majestic for a few years at most, and then no one can remember their names, even if Wu Yanqing, the current minister of finance and in charge of the wartime economic committee, is considered to be powerful himself, but the Wu family behind him will not be considered a top wealthy family.

Unless it can be the same as Ma Yinchu, Hong Zitai and the like, but then again, one of Hong Zitai's sons is a lieutenant general, and Ma Yinchu also has a cousin who is a rear admiral.

Of course, the reason why China has caused this situation at present has a very big relationship with Chen Jingyun, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he caused it single-handedly, as for how it was caused, just look at Chen Jingyun's own family structure!

Chen Jingyun regards the army as the core of family power, and the Chen family is worthy of the name of China's No. 1 wealthy family.

In this way, the time is getting longer and longer, and students from upper-class families and middle-class families graduate after entering military schools, and thus constitute the middle [***] officer group.

The main force is to fully embody an ancient saying: poor literature and rich martial arts!

Why there are very few lower-class officers in China's three armed forces today, the reason is actually very simple, because the vast majority of lower-class students rarely go to high school, and the vast majority of them go out to work after going to junior high school, or go to apply for technical schools, that is, technical secondary schools, as for high school, it is not for ordinary people to go to high school, because the definition of Chinese high school in these years is actually very simple, that is, college preparatory school, to put it bluntly, high school is to go to college, If you don't have the confidence to get a full scholarship in college, there is no need for a commoner child to go to high school, because those who don't get a scholarship in college can't afford the expensive tuition. Moreover, not to mention college, even the tuition fees of high school are very expensive, and low-income families simply cannot afford them.

In many cases, children from low-income families generally either directly enter social work after graduating from junior high school, and if they have a junior high school education, there is no problem in becoming an ordinary clerk, and the monthly income can reach about 50 yuan after working for a few years, which is enough to live as a family. If you have good grades, you can continue to go to technical school, and after graduating in three years, you will be much more popular than high school graduates, and you can easily enter the level of monthly income of fifty or sixty yuan, and it is not difficult to exceed 100 yuan.

If you work hard and endure hardships, you can provide for a child to go to high school or even college, and when the child graduates from college, then the family will safely enter the middle class.

At this time, Chinese high schools were not available to low-income families, and military schools recruited from high school graduates, in addition to a letter of recommendation from an important person, and their own academics must also be extremely excellent.

The combination of these conditions has resulted in very few civilian children in China's military corps.

In practical terms, the Chinese officer corps is a more aristocratic group than the German Junker corps.

Zhao Lindong himself is actually from a middle-class family, and his father is the chairman of an industrial committee under the jurisdiction of a municipal axe under Liaoning Province, which is probably the director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce in today's terms. However, this kind of officer who was born in the domestic military circles is a large group, and he has to be more confident than his father in the army.

If my dad is not a lieutenant general or above, or a provincial government leader, it's best not to call my dad Li Gang or something like that, otherwise he is likely to be slapped in the face.

Besides, even if other people's dads don't give it, just come out with an honor student who can trample you to death, the first sentence of people's exit is to ask you what period you are, if it's a junior, you will immediately go down, if it's the same period, people will immediately ask you how many times you graduated from the ranks.

If you are just mediocre in qualifications, and you are an honor student who ranks in the top three when you graduate, it is almost destined that people will climb farther than you, when you are a lieutenant, you are already a school officer, and when you are still a school officer, you are already a major general, and there is no comparison in this life.

In this case, even if your father is Li Gang, people still despise you.
