Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 507

Chapter 507: Reorganizing the Independent Battalion (Part 2)

“Lei Xiong, the former major and deputy battalion commander of the Sixing Battalion of the 88th Division, was promoted to lieutenant colonel and served as the first deputy battalion commander of the independent battalion directly under the 43rd Army;

Guo Shouzhi, the former major and battalion commander of the 664th Regiment of the 67th Army, was promoted to lieutenant colonel and served as the second deputy battalion commander of the independent battalion directly under the 43rd Army;

Liu Zhenshan, the former major and battalion commander of the 43rd Army, was promoted to lieutenant colonel. Due to his injury, he will not be assigned to his duties for the time being. When he recovers from his injury, he will be appointed by the 43rd Army Military Headquarters.

Zhuang Shisan, the former major and battalion commander of the Songjiang Security Regiment, was promoted to lieutenant colonel and appointed as the chief of staff of the independent battalion directly under the 43rd Army;"

Tang Dao paused slightly after reading the military order in his hand.

　　The faces of the two rows of standing officers remained unchanged, but their eyes were a little confused.

Liu Zhenshan, the second deputy battalion commander of the garrison battalion, was injured in a brutal street fight with the Japanese army in Songjiang. The Sichuan Army major who was extremely afraid of mothers-in-law was not a rake when fighting. He led the Second Company, which was dominated by the Sichuan Army, to fight the entire The most impressive achievement of the security battalion.

However, the price paid was also huge. The Second Company was reduced by 30% in that battle. Even he, the deputy battalion commander and commander of the Second Company, lost the good luck of getting only burns on his buttocks when being bombed. The Japanese army hit him with a melon-style grenade. Downed him.

A melon-style grenade was thrown at the feet of his guard. The deputy battalion commander, who was afraid of death, almost didn't even think about it and kicked it. Unfortunately, the delayed-explosion grenade exploded in mid-air, and the flying shrapnel knocked him His lower abdomen and legs were torn and bloody.

At that time, everyone thought he was dead, but it turned out that his life was astonishingly tough. Not to mention that the terrible shrapnel did not damage the aorta, and he managed to survive on the simple operating table. But it is estimated that no two or three months of training can be absolutely perfect. I can't go to the battlefield anymore.

It is not surprising that he will no longer serve in the independent battalion.

Although Zhuang Shisan's position as battalion chief of staff is unprecedented in the military, the chief officer of an independent battalion is a colonel, and his deputy positions are all lieutenant colonels. The rank is two levels higher than that of an ordinary infantry battalion, and its strength is nearly two ordinary infantry battalions. It makes sense to impose a chief of staff staff, and it's not particularly strange.

What makes the solemn officers wonder is why the order of the Supreme Commander of the Jiashan Frontline Command did not issue the appointment of Tang Dao as the chief officer.

"Order from the Commander-in-Chief of the Songhu War Zone!" Tang Dao took out another military order and shouted softly!

"Tang Dao, the former lieutenant colonel commander of the Sixing Battalion of the 88th Division, was promoted to colonel. He served as the first deputy director of the staff department of the Jiashan Frontline Command, the battalion commander of the independent battalion directly under the 43rd Army Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army, and the war supervisor of the Jiashan Defense Line. ! The independent battalion under his command is the supervising team of the entire army!"

Hearing the final appointment of chief officers, the officers' expressions softened. Only a few people, including Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi, had strange expressions in their eyes.

It turns out that Tang Dao is already a colonel, and his appointment requires personal orders from the commander at the theater level. He also serves as the first deputy director of the headquarters staff. This authority is far greater than that of a battalion commander, even if he is the commander of an independent battalion directly under the military headquarters. .

As for the war supervisor, most officers actively ignored it. In their view, this is more of a false position.

During the Songjiang Defense War, Tang Dao was also appointed as the War Supervisor by the two bosses of the headquarters. As a result, Tang Dao rushed directly to the front line of Cangcheng. As a War Supervisor, he had no effect at all.

However, perhaps the Songjiang defenders were driven to death by the Japanese. Very few of them disobeyed military orders and retreated voluntarily. Even if they did, they were personally executed by the chief officers of each brigade and regiment who supervised the battle on the spot.

However, Lei Xiong, who has been in the Royal Forest Army for a long time, and Guo Shouzhi, who is the ace infantry regiment of the 67th Army, do not think so.

In Songjiang, Tang Dao, the war supervisor, was appointed by Wu and Guo. Tang Dao could make the decision himself if he wanted to execute deserters of lieutenant level officers and below, but if he was an officer of school level or above, he did not have this power.

But now, this war supervisor was personally appointed by the Songhu Theater Command, which means the meaning is completely different.

There is no doubt that Tang Dao's authority is extremely great. As long as there is enough evidence to prove that he left the position without authorization and became a deserter, even if he is a colonel, lieutenant colonel or major, Tang Dao will execute him in accordance with wartime military law.

Of course, with this power, Tang Dao cannot act arbitrarily. The school officials are all covered by major generals and lieutenant generals.

Just with this name, Tang Dao can definitely become the top group of colonel officers, and the colonel commanders of the main infantry regiment must give him enough respect.

However, this is not important. What is important is, what is the purpose of the theater headquarters giving Tang Dao such a "Shangfang Sword" without warning?

Is there any other intention in this?

Of course Tang Dao knew it. From the moment he got the military order, he knew that it seemed like a dessert, but in fact it was just a dose of poison.

This appointment was nothing more than an artificial gap created by the theater headquarters between him and Wu and Guo.

The supervising team looks majestic and can directly execute deserters, which makes people frightened, but in fact it is just an offending job. Even if he made a mistake, if you kill someone else's subordinate, who can be happy with you?

Moreover, such an important war supervisor was assigned to Tang Dao without the permission of the boss. Not only did he tell those few people that Tang Dao is from our 88th Division, we have great trust in him.

Even if Wu and Guo trusted him, they would still be a little wary of Tang Dao because of this embarrassing military order!

As long as this is done, the purpose of the theater headquarters will be achieved.

To put it bluntly, this is also the dissatisfaction of some people with the three army lieutenant generals at the Jiashan Defense Line Command. They are dissatisfied with them forcibly snatching the Sixing Battalion from the Royal Forest Army. It can also be regarded as their response.

Fortunately, they underestimated Tang Dao.

"Please call the two officers back and ask the theater headquarters whether as long as our army is on the battlefield, I, Tang Dao, will be the battlefield supervisor. If so, I will be so. If not, please ask them to send someone else here." This is how Tang Dao replied to Lieutenant General Wu who tested him with military orders.

"Haha, then why ask again? The place where our army is located is a battlefield. Since they have given you such a big hat, you can wear it with peace of mind." Lieutenant General Wu is such a smart person. With a slight twist of his mind, He understood what Tang Dao meant and laughed immediately.

Of course Tang Dao means that what he wants to supervise is not just the three infantry divisions currently on the Jiashan front line, but all the Chinese troops on this line.

Because the Jiashan defense line is destined to not be able to hold for a long time, it must retreat. There will inevitably be other troops on the way back. If Tang Dao still has the ability to supervise the battle, it can naturally form a deterrent effect against it.

How many people dare to say anything but look down upon the war supervisors who have been appointed by the commander of the theater in person? Including those major generals and lieutenant generals, even if they couldn't deal with you at the time, Tang Dao's message was sent to the theater headquarters, and not many people could handle it after the fall.

Since Tang Dao said this, he is simply telling this lieutenant general that I am a 'dao' issued by the headquarters, but the knife can be held in your hand. Of course Lieutenant General Wu had to laugh at the fact that he had such a help for nothing.

This may be the most typical example of "stealing chicken but losing rice" in the legend!

Tang Dao naturally couldn't explain these deep-seated reasons to his two deputies at such a meeting, so he took out another piece of paper: "Order from the Commander of the 43rd Army of the National Revolutionary Army!"

The officers looked solemn.

The independent battalion is directly under the 43rd Army Military Headquarters. Tang Dao and several deputy battalion-level officers are of high rank and are appointed by the theater headquarters and frontline headquarters to show their importance. The appointments of these middle-level officers can be made by Military Seat Guo. Appointed personally.

"Appointment: Major Peng Chong is appointed as the commander of the Special Agent Company of the Independent Battalion; Major Leng Feng is appointed as the commander of the First Infantry Company of the Independent Battalion; Lieutenant Qian Dazhu is appointed as the commander of the Second Infantry Company of the Independent Battalion; Captain Li Jijin is appointed as the commander of the Third Infantry Company of the Independent Battalion; Lieutenant Zhao Daqiang is appointed as the commander of the Fourth Infantry Company of the Independent Battalion; Captain Cheng Tieshou is appointed as the commander of the independent battalion's air defense fire support company; Major Pang Panghai is appointed as the commander of the artillery company of the independent battalion; Captain Zhao Chengxi is appointed as the commander of the supply company; Captain Zhu Heicheng is appointed as the deputy company commander of the supply company; Second Lieutenant Lu Sanjiang is appointed as the deputy company commander of the special agent company and leader of the cavalry platoon; Second Lieutenant Gu Xishui is appointed as the captain of the independent battalion's special operations team; Second Lieutenant Niu Er is appointed as the deputy captain of the independent battalion's special operations team.”

A long list of appointments for lieutenants was read out by Tang Dao.

Many military officers cast envious eyes on Qian Dazhu, Lu Sanjiang, and Gu Xishui.

Thought they would be promoted and reused, but no one expected that Tang Dao would reuse these three people so much.
