Chapter 961: The signal is getting more and more obvious
After evening, Du Guangting returned to the military headquarters of the New First Army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This day's visit was an eye-opener for him, and the new First Army was completely different from any other national army unit he had seen, with strict discipline, vigorous vigor, and a tough work style, and its quality was almost as high as that of the original teaching corps.
It is true that the old foundation of the New First Army is the teaching corps, but the original teaching corps has long ceased to exist, and the New First Army has been reborn in the hands of Leng Feng.
This is a force that has been reborn from the ashes!
"Deputy Du, this is your office, take a look, what do you need to add, you can let the people of the General Affairs Section of the Secretarial Office buy it on your behalf, your full-time adjutant is in the adjutant's office, and the entry procedures have been completed, and you also have a guard platoon, are we arranging it for you, or ......?"
"I don't need this, I have people myself, and they are on their way here."
"That's good." Fang Xiaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, if he was allowed to arrange it, this job would be really difficult to send.
"In principle, our new First Army does not allow family members to accompany the army, but if the husband and wife are both soldiers, this is another mess, but we will have unified arrangements for family members, does Deputy Du need this regard?"
"Oh, no need, no need...... Du Guangting hurriedly waved his hand, his hometown is in Mizhi, Shaanxi, where there are no Japanese criminals, and there is no need to work hard.
Fang Xiaoyang handed Du Guangting an envelope, which was bulging, it should be banknotes or something, Du Guangting's face suddenly looked bad when he saw it.
"What is this for?"
"Deputy Du, don't misunderstand, every officer who has just come to serve in the new army will advance a fee, you can think of it as a settling-in allowance or a registration fee, this money is for the first time to buy daily necessities, the money is not much, you accept it."
Du Guangting hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, opened the envelope directly, took it out and counted it, there were two hundred legal currency.
At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, two hundred legal dollars were equivalent to a month's military salary for a lieutenant general in the morale of the national disaster.
There is a lot of money, compared to ordinary soldiers, there must be two years of military salary, but compared with other troops, it is much lower, if it is another unit, a lieutenant general and deputy commander have just arrived, at least a thousand oceans, whether to collect or not is one thing, but the price is there.
The new first army only gave two hundred, and what was given was not the ocean, but still fiat currency, and we all knew that the fiat currency was depreciating every day, and if I took this money this month, I could buy two pigs, and I don't know how much I could buy next month.
"Fiat?"
"Yes, we will send whatever the government gives us." Fang Xiaoyang sneered, according to the military budget allocated by the national government, the Central Army gave 250,000 yuan to each division, and the new First Army's monthly military expenditure was only 650,000 yuan in addition to the supply of weapons and ammunition, but in fact, Leng Feng had to spend at least 1.5 million yuan every month.
Even if you factor in the extra rewards.
It costs an extra 700,000 or 800,000 yuan to maintain the normal consumption of the troops every month, which is still normal under normal circumstances, and once a war starts, it will be even more expensive.
You must know that there are few military funds of 250,000 yuan that can be allocated in full in the central army, and sometimes it is common to deduct 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
However, no one dared to be greedy for the money of the New First Army, and some people wanted to be greedy for the bonus of the New 38th Brigade, but they were directly stabbed by Leng Feng to Lao Jiang, and those people who were forced to obediently spit out the money and gave compensation.
The soldiers exchanged their blood for money, and these people dared to be greedy, it was simply madness.
From that time on, Leng Feng and He Jingzhi took over Liangzi, and the Ministry of Military Affairs did not dare to deduct the military salary of the new First Army.
"Tonight, you have a good rest, there will be a meeting tomorrow morning, nine o'clock, in the conference room downstairs, and dinner will still be in the military canteen."
"Okay, thank you, Secretary Fang."
"Only 50 fiat coins were given, and this new army also picked the door......"
"Adjutant Gao, what did you say?"
"No, it's nothing, Sir Du, you're back, you've been out for a day, and I've cleaned your place and office......" The senior adjutant said with a sneering face.
"Since we're here, you know my rules, don't stab me at Lou Zi." Du Guangting reprimanded harshly.
"Yes, Chief Du."
"You go and see what to eat in the cafeteria at night, get me some, I've been walking for a long time, I'm hungry." Du Guangting commanded.
The food of the new First Army is really good, there are actually three dishes and one soup at night, and the rice is full, although Du Guangting has long been free of food and drink, but the conditions in Xiangtan are really very bitter, and he can only share the joys and sorrows with the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division, and the food is naturally worse.
Compared with the new army, it is naturally worse.
He was really shocked by the food standards of the New First Army at the Tiexi Camp at noon, and if he followed this eating method of the New First Army, the entire Chinese army would be able to impoverish the Nationalist Government in an instant.
In these years, the troops who can eat enough are very good, if they can still pay military salaries, it is worth their lives, and the troops who can eat enough and pay military salaries in full are simply rare.
The Central Army is borrowing money to pay salaries, where does the New First Army have such strong financial resources?
After watching it for a day, many questions were circling in Du Guangting's mind, although he saw something, but the real thing was not something that could be seen at a glance.
Especially what he wanted to see, but he didn't even see a shadow.
Don't worry, since you are here, you will always see it, but I don't know what kind of division of labor arrangements Leng Guoguang will make for him, the deputy commander, and tomorrow's meeting should be able to see it.
He could still feel it, the New First Army had an instinctive sense of rejection towards him, this feeling was not very strong, but it was indeed there.
"The Military Commission appointed Li Yaojie as the deputy commander of the Eighth Army, and at the same time included the 3rd Division in the sequence of the Eighth Army, and the total strength of the Eighth Army is now close to 40,000."
"The stronger the Eighth Army, there is no harm to us, but I'm worried about the relationship between Luo Luo's and Li Yaojie, Luo Luo's temperament is straightforward, and his speech is sometimes easy to offend people."
"Isn't there still Qin Yankun, and Deputy Commander Wang Zhizhong, there should be no problem."
"Li Yaojie originally came to our new First Army, but now he has gone to the Eighth Army, and he is also serving as the deputy commander, I'm afraid his psychology is not so happy."
"That's right, but the military order is difficult to do, even if Li Yaojie has grievances, he shouldn't sprinkle it on others."
"Lao Xie, this Du Guangting is not small, we have to deal with it carefully, if he is willing to be with us, then it is best, if there is any attempt, then we can't be too polite to him, people respect me, I respect people, this is my attitude of being a man and doing things." Leng Feng said to Xie Jiyuan.
"Well, let's observe first, let's observe, I heard that this Du Guangting's character is still good, at least much better than Tang Keqin and others."
"Well, it's not early, it's all gone, Liao Sen stays for a while."
"Throne, what's the matter?" Liao Sen stood up for nothing, not knowing why Leng Feng left him alone for what he was doing.
"Jian Chu, Deputy Army Commander Du went to you today, did he tell you anything?"
"Speaking of what?" Liao Sen was confused.
"Du Guangting came to our new army, the purpose is not simple, I always feel that he is coming for a certain purpose, what do you guess he is here for?"
"Commander, he won't be here for the tactics of our mechanized infantry, will he?"
"Nine times out of ten, otherwise he would be a lieutenant general and division commander, and the chairman of the committee would hand over to him the most elite mechanized German infantry division, and he would not be able to come to my new army, and he would give me back as a deputy, and with his qualifications and ability, it would be more than enough to be a commander." Leng Feng nodded.
"What do you mean?"
"Since we know that he is here for this, then there is no need for us to hide it, if he wants to see it, just show him, I plan to form a new armored assault brigade on the basis of the armored brigade, with you as the brigade commander and Li Ye as your deputy, how about it?"
"Armored assault brigade?" When Liao Sen heard this, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement, what he learned in France was mechanized army tactics and armored assault, which was really what he dreamed of.
"Also, the 200th Division suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of Xuzhou and Lanfeng, and the military equipment purchased from Germany may not be able to be completely transported back, I think that soon after, the 200th Division is very likely to be equipped with Soviet equipment, the equipment system of the Soviet Union and the German system is different, how to combine the equipment of the two, this is a topic, you study it in advance."
"Commander, you don't think you have the idea of fighting the 200th Division, right?"
"The 200th Division, the 201st Division, the 202nd Division, are all next to each other, do you think it should be a trinity?" Leng Feng smiled, everything was silent.
"You really dare to think that the chairman of the committee will not agree."
"I'll go and say, Mr. Jiang will definitely not agree, but what about another person?" Leng Feng said with a smile.
"Understood, Commander, I know what to do." Liao Sen was excited, and immediately understood Leng Feng's intentions, this was to launch the Ladu Light Pavilion.
"If he really came to us, he would definitely look for you again, how to grasp the proportion, you just need to know it in your heart." Leng Feng instructed.
"Don't worry, Gunza."
If you can really pull Du Guangting in, it will be of great help to yourself, Du Guangting's ability and experience are definitely a general who can take charge on his own.
He and Sun Zhongren's abilities are no less than equal, and they can play a huge role in fighting against Japan in the future.
"Commander, discover a new unit code name for the Japanese army: Lu!"
"Lu?" When Leng Feng heard this, he was taken aback, isn't this the code name of the 11th Army? Why has the Japanese army base camp officially formed the 11th Army?
Anyone who knows the history of the Anti-Japanese War knows that the 11th Army was formed to capture Wuhan, and in the future, it will also become the largest strategic attack group of the Japanese army in China, and the first commander is that Okamura Ninji.
The formation of the 11th Army, it seems that the Japanese base camp has already decided to fight the Battle of Wuhan.
The signal is becoming more and more obvious.
