    When Mr. Chen hires people, reliability always comes first.

    ¡°It¡¯s all nonsense to have both ability and political integrity, to employ people without suspicion and without trusting others.  In this chaotic era, only strangers can tell whether you are talented or virtuous.  What's more, if he is fighting under the banner of Wang Jingwei, if he is a person with both political integrity and talent, he will not sink himself and eat this bowl of rice that will last forever.

    Except for the Nanyang brothers from the five major companies named Qiu, Xie, Yang, Lin, and Chen, he believed almost no one and did not dare to believe it easily.  That's why when recruiting subordinates, many thresholds are set, such as those who are not officials, those who are students, those who talk too much, etc.  It can be seen that it is a miracle that Yang Xiaoguo, a former major officer of the Northeast Army, can appear here.

    The reason why so many frustrated officers chose him as a small character with no real reputation was because he didn't talk much, didn't look that cunning, and didn't look like the kind of person who cheated on others; secondly, it was the first time he followed  Dealing with stragglers was a matter of life and fortune, and he was worried about handing over the power of recruitment to Liu Peixu, so Master Chen made an exception and recruited him, a down-and-out officer who knew something about the Northeastern Army, the Northwest Army, and the Shanxi-Sui Army.

    At the same time, his background and resume are also "remarkable."

    Before joining the army, he worked as a herd for the landlord's family. He was just a boy from a poor family, but he had nothing to do with those warlords and politicians.  I have been in the Northeast Army system for more than ten years. In addition to the two more important practical positions of squad leader and platoon leader, I was also the deputy company commander and regimental staff officer. Until the Battle of Xinkou was defeated by the Japanese army, I was still a very popular person.  The ostracized deputy battalion commander.

    It is worth mentioning that Zhang Xiaoguo also attended the "Northeast Army Lecture Hall", which is one of the four major military officer schools in China, along with the "Yunnan Lecture Hall", "Baoding Army Officer School" and "Huangpu Officer School".  But my luck didn't seem to be very good. I was in the eleventh and last period. Before I finished, the September 18th Incident happened, so I had to graduate early and return to the original army.

    In the 22nd year of the Republic of China, he participated in the famous Battle of the Great Wall to defend the marshal's opium producing area - Rehe. He was shot twice and almost lost his life.  As soon as he recovered from his injuries, he went with the young marshal to the northwest to suppress the enemy. He never thought that the enemy would not be successful, but almost killed Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.  After the young marshal was imprisoned, the Northeastern Army was in disarray and could no longer sustain food and pay. So he went to Shanxi with dozens of fellow villagers to join Commander Yan, and transformed himself into the Shanxi-Sui Army.

    However, Chief Yan¡¯s food is not that good. Within a few days, his gang of miscellaneous people were sent to the front line and used as cannon fodder to fight against the menacing Japanese army.  The beating was so severe that many people died, so that he was the only one among so many fellow villagers who survived.  Fortunately, the Japanese army was eager to expand their results and did not carefully inspect the battlefield, otherwise they would probably have been hit a few times.  The subsequent experience was even more unbearable. I begged all the way to Peking and was almost killed several times by the Japanese soldiers who were interrogating me

    Facing Young Master Chen who was wearing a police uniform, Zhang Xiaoguo was in a trance, feeling that everything was so unreal. Subconsciously, he thought he was in Peiping, and everything in front of him was just a dream.

    "Sit down, why are we falling apart after not seeing each other for a few days?"

    Young Master Chen threw the cigarette in front of him, half-leaned on the Taishi chair and crossed his legs. Zhang Xiaoguo then calmed down and said nervously: "Times have changed, this is not Peking, and you are no longer the young master you were before. Xiaoguo  The country dare not sit down.¡±

    "If I ask you to sit down, why don't you dare?"

    "Yes, group seat." It would be hypocritical to insist any longer. Zhang Xiaoguo took off his hat and sat down with half his buttocks.

    Young Master Chen nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "Xiaoguo, you are the only officer among all the people, and you served me in Peking. Naturally, I cannot let you be the leading soldier like them. After some weighing,  , I have decided to appoint you as the major staff officer of our regiment. I wonder if you have any opinions. "

    It's already great to be able to make a living, so Zhang Xiaoguo didn't dare to have any opinions. He blurted out without thinking: "Meng Tuan will not give up and takes Xiaoguo in. This kindness of knowing and encountering should be repaid by a spring. It's not too late to be grateful."  Well, how can Xiuguo have any opinions?"

    "I'm very happy that you think so."

    Seeing him standing up again, Master Chen sat up straight, motioned for him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Now that we have accepted the appointment, we are colleagues. You should familiarize yourself with the environment in the past few days. It is best to follow  Make good connections with the consultants. Several of them can speak Mandarin, so communication should not be a problem.¡±

    Yamazaki and Hasegawa were busy recruiting, while Sakamoto stayed at the arsenal.  From the moment they entered the camp until now, Zhang Xiaoguo had hardly seen a Japanese except for the Japanese soldiers who drove them here in trucks, so he couldn't help but ask, "Japanese soldiers?"

    "To be exact, he should be a retired Japanese soldier. Is there any problem?"

    "It's nothing, it just feels a little sudden."

    Young Master Chen took out a cigarette and threw one to him. Then he took out a match and lit it for himself, swallowing the cloud.Wu Wu said: "People have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves! Xiaoguo, you are a person who has experienced bullets and bullets, and you should know the meaning of this sentence better than me. I won't say much else, I just hope that you  Be able to face reality and do your job in a down-to-earth manner.¡±

    Zhang Xiaoguo realized that he had made a mistake, and immediately stood up, patted his chest and said sincerely and solemnly: "The regiment will take Xiuguo in, and Xiaoguo's fate belongs to the regiment. From now on, Xiaoguo will only obey the leadership of the regiment."  , Never have two minds, otherwise the sky will strike with five thunders.¡±

    "Why are you standing up again?" Young Master Chen pretended to be angry and glared at him, "We don't get along for a day or two. I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you to Shanghai, let alone  Entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Why are you so loyal to me like those duplicitous guys? It really proves that the leader of the regiment has misjudged the person. "

    At this time, the door was pushed open a crack, and as soon as Master Chen turned his head, he heard Wuyuehong's familiar voice, "Hey we are still talking, you talk, you talk, we will come back later."  "

    Since you want to win Zhang Xiaoguo's heart, you should show enough trust. Of course, Master Chen will not miss this opportunity. He simply laughed and said: "Come in, Staff Zhang is not an outsider."

    "Group seat, isn't this inappropriate?"

    "If there's anything inappropriate, I just want to take this opportunity to get acquainted."

    How could Young Master Chen let him go? He pointed at the old master, the third wife, the fourth wife, Xie Xiulan and Chen Shangwen who were walking in, and introduced: "This is the deputy leader of our regiment, Wang, Director of the Finance Department, Li.  Director Xie of the Division, Director Wu of the Second Diplomacy Division Staff Officer Zhang, even though Director Chen is young, he has a doctorate who has studied abroad and is the most knowledgeable person in our regiment. "

    "Major Staff Sergeant Zhang Xiaoguo has met all the officers!" Those who have served as soldiers are different. Zhang Xiaoguo immediately raised his arms and gave everyone a standard military salute.

    "Consultant Zhang is really young and promising. No wonder the team leader praised you highly in the telegram."

    The old master made a good start, and the third wife Li Xiangmei also laughed and said: "We are all majors, don't be superiors."

    Although they were all wearing military uniforms, their gestures in return were not flattering.  So much so that Young Master Chen directly believed that it was necessary to conduct the most basic training for school officers like him or her.

    "Now is not the time to be polite," Young Master Chen walked to the window and glanced in the direction of the cafeteria, "Deputy Commander Wang, how is the reorganization going over there? Is there any problem?"

    "It's over already. There are fifty-one in each battalion, no more and no less. We are currently communicating with each other."

    ¡°That¡¯s not right, where are the other forty others?¡±

    The old master smiled, took the tea cup from Wuyuehong, and explained: "Look, you are so busy that you even forgot about the military law team. Changfu selected the people first, and then started to reorganize them after the selection."

    "I wonder why there are so few people all of a sudden?" Young Master Chen shook his head awkwardly, then turned around, "Director Li, Director Chen, this is just the beginning. The large troops will arrive in a few days.  , you must be prepared.¡±

    Chen Shangwen was convinced. He took out a small book and reported from home and abroad: "There is some inventory of daily necessities. It should be no problem for three months. However, considering that prices are rising every day, I have asked the distinguished brothers to stock up as much as possible. Now there are already  After getting some insights, Director Li will allocate the money."

    Health issues are very important, because in this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine, only by taking preventive measures can we reduce non-combat attrition.  Mr. Chen couldn't save this money no matter how much he saved, so Mrs. Chao San said: "Director Li, please arrange this amount as soon as possible and try to accumulate enough for one year in the shortest possible time."

    The old master had already explained that as soon as the stragglers entered the military camp, everyone must be commensurate with their positions. Li Xiangmei was not used to it. She was stunned for a while before she realized, "Okay, I will write a check to Director Chen when I get back."

    "The second is the uniforms," ??Chen Shangwen closed the small book and continued: "Although there is no need for the logistics department to purchase them, how to transport them back is a big problem. In addition, according to my observations these days, the officers and soldiers are fussing around all day long.  Many people's clothes are torn, and two sets for one person are definitely not enough. Especially on rainy days, the clothes are not dry after washing, and there is no clothes to change. This not only affects the appearance of the troops, but also makes them prone to illness. "

    Don¡¯t give away things that don¡¯t cost money. Young Master Chen said confidently: ¡°Leave this matter to me. I will go to negotiate with Ishikawa tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°The third issue is weapons and ammunition, which is also the most urgent issue at hand.¡±

    At this point, Chen Shangwen took out two lists of weapons, handed one to Master Chen, and the other to Zhang Xiaoguo, and said meaningfully: "Senior Zhang, the first page of the list is the current inventory of our regiment.  , second page??The types of weapons we can get our hands on.  As the number of officers and soldiers continues to increase, those stocks are obviously far from enough, so I ask you, an old soldier, to help me think about which weapons are more suitable.  "

    Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhang Xiaoguo took it for granted that this was a test for him. He read the list carefully and then asked cautiously: "Commander, Deputy Commander Wang, Director Chen, are you here?"  Previously, I wanted to know how many officers and soldiers there are in this regiment, how it is organized, and what kind of tasks it will perform? "

    An expert will know if there is one as soon as he opens his mouth.  These three questions undoubtedly hit the point, and no one dared to look down upon them. Even Xie Xiulan, the dominatrix, couldn't help but secretly praise her.

    Before Young Master Chen could speak, the old master took over the conversation, "This regiment has five battalions, one directly affiliated military law team, one directly affiliated search team, one field hospital and one transport team The number of officers and soldiers is tentatively set at two thousand, depending on the situation.  Decide whether to expand or not.¡±

    Zhang Xiaoguo pondered for a moment, pointed at the options on the list, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since there are field hospitals, search teams and transport teams, it can be seen that combat missions will inevitably be carried out in the future. But almost all of the options on the list are small weapons, and even  They don't even have the most basic grenades and explosives. In addition, the fifth battalion has a huge organization. If the following units are organized in a three-three system, plus the indispensable auxiliary units, the number of officers and soldiers will increase exponentially, especially the baggage team.  ¡±

    Fighting a war means fighting logistics, even if it is just a battle.  Of course Young Master Chen understood this truth. After thinking about it, he said calmly: "Deputy Commander Wang said it would be two thousand people tentatively, not just two thousand people. Staff Zhang, people are not the problem, the key is how to equip them."  "

    Aren¡¯t the existing conditions just like those ¡°made in all countries¡± of different calibers on the list?

    Zhang Xiaoguo weighed it up and said resolutely: "Since there are not many options, I suggest that soldiers be equipped with a large number of 'medium formal' weapons from Hanyang Arsenal or Jinling Arsenal. The heavy machine guns use Maxim, and the light machine guns use Czech-made bullets. These are the only bullets."  Only by unifying the caliber can the logistical pressure be alleviated.¡±

    Xie Xiulan suddenly intervened, "What about the officer?"

    Zhang Xiaoguo glanced at the Browning on her waist and replied expressionlessly: "For the same consideration, I suggest that officers mainly equip box guns. After all, the bullets can be used with existing flower machines."

    When it comes to marching and fighting, Chen Shangwen is an out-and-out layman.  But as the chief of the logistics department, he understood the importance of unifying the caliber of ammunition better than anyone else. After thinking about it, he cautiously probed: "Team leader, what do you think? If Staff Zhang's opinion is adopted, then more than 300 shots will be touched."  The liver takes the heart'"

    What surprised everyone was that before Young Master Chen could express his position, Zhang Xiaoguo took up the conversation again, "Director Chen, those Russian rifles you mentioned have a long range, high accuracy, and high lethality. It would be inevitable to abandon them."  It's a pity. It's a shame to organize the whole regiment of soldiers to conduct a live fire shooting, select the 300 people with the best marksmanship to equip the guns, and then assign them to each company, platoon or even each squad as sharpshooters. It will definitely be of great benefit.  Enhance the team¡¯s combat effectiveness.¡±

    "This is a good idea," Young Master Chen said with finality. "We will organize and implement it after everyone has arrived. The selected sharpshooters will be treated as squad leaders. If there are not enough bullets, I will find a way."

    Chen Shangwen quickly jotted it down in his notebook, then raised his head and said, "Consultant Zhang, please find a few people to pick out guns with me tomorrow."

    When she was in Nanyang, she played mostly with pistols. Naturally, Xie Xiulan would not miss this opportunity. She suddenly said, "Count me in, it might as well open my eyes."

    The arsenal of the "Boarding Troops" was heavily guarded. There was a squadron of Japanese troops stationed there. Young Master Chen had already experienced her fiery temper. He dared not let her show up. He immediately shook his head, "Director Xie, you have more important tasks.  , it¡¯s better not to go to the arsenal.¡±

    "What mission?"

    "Tomorrow, come with me to Yuyuan Road. If you have time, you will also go to No. 76. Changfu and the others are busy training, so I can only find you."

    The safety of the person in front of me is more important than anything else, and protecting him is a task assigned by the elders of Nanyang. In desperation, Xie Xiulan had no choice but to nodded and said reluctantly: "Since there is a task, it will be next time.  "
