As time passed, the resources that the chairman had sent to Zhou Weiguo arrived one after another. Even the officers that Zhou Weiguo had requested to be transferred over had arrived in Huainan.
These officers could be said to be a mix of good and bad!
There were people like Chu Yunfei who were called the Jin Sui Army but were actually the Central Army. There was a local motley crew like Long Wenzhang. There were also those from the Central Military Academy. There were also officers from the 87th and 88th Divisions.
Among them, the ones who were the most excited and at ease were the officers of the Central Military Academy, the 87th Division, and the 88th Division.
Zhou Weiguo graduated from the Central Military Academy and also came out of the 87th Division. The 87th and 88th Divisions were called two divisions, but in fact, they were both expanded from the Generalissimo's previous guard force. They could be said to be brothers of the same mother.
Those people from the Central Military Academy idolized Zhou Weiguo. Now, the Central Military Academy had already moved to Chengdu, Sichuan. Before they came, the instructor of their school had said that Zhou Weiguo was the most outstanding person among the ninth batch of cadets. At the same time, Zhou Weiguo's battle command in Wuji Village and Huainan would also be listed as a classic battle formation that defeated many with fewer forces. In the future, the students of the Central Military Academy would have to learn these two battle formations.
The people of the 87th and 88th Divisions believed that Zhou Weiguo was a general who had walked out from among them. He was a biological brother of the same mother, so he was naturally free to come here.
However, no matter what they thought, on January 2nd, 1938, the day after New Year's Day, Zhou Weiguo first began to meet these officers.
These few days, Zhou Weiguo had been doing an accurate count of the old troops and reorganizing the recruits. After all, these new officers were not familiar with the organization of the 1st Independent Brigade. It would take some time for them to reorganize, but what he lacked the most now was time. Even New Year's Day was busy.
.............
Independent 1st Brigade Headquarters
"Brothers, I believe you have received the order from the chairman. From now on, you are members of the 1st Independent Brigade. I won't say anything else. In these few days, our weapons and military uniforms have all arrived. The army had also been organized. What I need to do now is to fill in the gap between the officers. It was because of this problem that you came to me!”
Zhou Weiguo was very direct at the beginning and went straight to the point. Under such circumstances, he did not have the habit of talking nonsense. This let the people below know a little about Zhou Weiguo's personality.
"Old Chu, this Zhou Weiguo is quite direct. What do you think of him?”
The person who spoke was Dai Anlan, and the person standing beside him was Chu Yunfei. Since both of them graduated from Huangpu Military School, they had gotten to know each other quite well. They had been wandering around Huainan City together for the past few days. Chu Yunfei graduated from Huangpu's fifth phase, while Dai Anlan graduated from the third phase!
"From the way he speaks and does things, this person should be an impatient person. To be able to defeat the Japanese army in Wuji township, defeat the Japanese army in Huainan twice, and even take down a division of the Japanese army, it shows that our future commander is a brave and resourceful general!”
Chu Yunfei was wearing the Central Army uniform that he had just changed into a few days ago. He stood there and looked at Zhou Weiguo with narrowed eyes.
"Oh? Chu Yunfei? Dai Anlan? I wonder if the two of you have anything to say?”
At this time, Zhou Weiguo saw Chu Yunfei and Dai Anlan standing there as if they were talking about something, so he simply asked directly. Zhou Weiguo had already remembered these two people from the moment they arrived.
Chu Yunfei was a celebrity in movies and television dramas. Dai Anlan was a famous general in history who fought against the Japanese. How could Zhou Weiguo not remember him?
"Sir! I'm telling the senior that the officer is brave and resourceful in battle!”
Chu Yunfei stood up and said loudly.
"Sir! Yes, it was! Junior Chu Yunfei was admiring you just now!”
Dai Anlan also stood up. Zhou Weiguo smiled. Actually, there were many outstanding generals in the national army. He wasn't as incompetent as the history said.
"Haha! To be honest, the two of you are my seniors. I graduated from the ninth batch of the Central Military Academy, and Huangpu Military Academy was the predecessor of the Central Military Academy. However, when it comes to me, regardless of whether you were my senior or my senior officer. But from this moment on, I am your commanding officer. I hope that we can fight side by side and carry forward the Huangpu spirit to become a much-told story in our country's army!”
"Yes, sir! Listen to your teachings!"
The two of them retreated, and Zhou Weiguo was about to start the main event of the day.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the hundreds of people in the command center and then suddenly shouted,""Where is Du Qingming?"
"Sir! Du Qingming has arrived!"
Zhou Weiguo looked at Du Qingming and nodded.""En! Not bad! I heard that you just came back from studying abroad not long ago?”
"Yes, I am! I'm studying at the Berlin Military Academy!”
"Haha! In that case, I'm still your senior! I'm one of the first batch of international students! You should be in the second batch. You weren't among the other nineteen people in the first batch!”
Zhou Weiguo said with a smile.
"Yes, I am! I'm in the second batch of international students!"
"En! I've heard of you long ago. You're very knowledgeable in artillery and you're also very accomplished in artillery warfare. Currently, we have a Heavy Artillery Regiment, but we lack a qualified regiment commander. I hereby appoint you as the regiment commander of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, and your military rank is Colonel!”
"Yes, sir! Write that you are groomed by the senior officer!"
Du Qingming's opening words made the people below excited. They all knew that some of them would become regiment commanders.
"Chu Yunfei!"
"Here!"
"Now, as the major general of the 1st Independent Brigade, I appoint you as the commander of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army! The military academy is a colonel!"
"Yes, sir! Thank you for your nurturing, sir!"
"Dai Anlan!"
"Here!"
"Now, as the major general of the 1st Independent Brigade, I appoint you as the regiment commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Sun Xinpu!"
"Here!"
"Now, as the major general of the 1st Independent Brigade, I appoint you as the regiment commander of the 8th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army.”
"Yes, sir! Thank you for your nurturing, sir!"
"Long Wenzhang!"
"Here!"
"Now, as the major general of the 1st Independent Brigade, I appoint you as the commander of the 9th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army! His military rank is colonel!"
"Yes, sir! Thank you for your nurturing, sir!"
"Zhou Tianyi!"
"Here!"
"Now, as the major general of the 1st Independent Brigade, I appoint you as the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army! His military rank is colonel!"
"Yes, sir! Thank you for your nurturing, sir!"
