Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

"This attack has cost the Japanese a heavy price. In a short period of time, the Japanese cannot organize an effective force to encircle and suppress us! Although Meidongshan is not an important city, it is close to Pu County, and Pu County has three roads, which is an important county connecting southwest Shanxi. The Japanese will not tolerate such a powerful force in Meidongshan.

In addition, the Japanese suffered such heavy losses this time, they will certainly not let us go easily, so each regiment must be prepared at all times, the trenches that need to be set up must be arranged, and sufficient ammunition must be prepared on the front line to deal with the war that may break out at any time!

Regarding the deployment, the division headquarters and the three major departments are all deployed in Meidong Mountain. The third battalion of the 665th Regiment is stationed in Nanyao, and the first and second battalions are stationed in the division headquarters. Commander Zhen, although I didn't ask you to go to the front line, the safety of the division headquarters is in your hands! "

Zhen Zhiying was a little unhappy at first, but when he heard that the safety of the headquarters was entrusted to him, he felt proud. He quickly straightened his collar and stood up and said softly:

"Please rest assured, Marshal. The safety of the headquarters is in my hands. If anything goes wrong, I will bring my head to you!"

Jiang Feng also said: "Well, Meidong Mountain is not as open as Fanzhuang. It is located on a mountain range and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Two battalions are indeed enough!

But Marshal, after this battle, although the Japs still don't have a grasp of our weapons, they have a rough idea of ​​our firepower. If the Japs attack next time, I'm afraid they will be fierce!"

Xu Leke is not afraid of this. The Japanese don’t know that the 176th Division is the best equipped with weapons, and they can catch them off guard during the battle.

Even if you know it, it doesn't matter. Can you compete with me? And you know my current equipment. Who told you that I won't change my equipment after a while?

And no matter how much of the Meidongshan iron ore can be mined, the troops will not stay here for too long, at most two months!

"When the enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. The Japanese troops deployed in Shanxi Province will not exceed five full-strength divisions. Including the independent units and puppet troops, the total force will not exceed 5.

It seems like a lot, but in fact half of them are used to garrison the occupied cities, and some are confronting the Jin army along the Yellow River in southern Shanxi. The troops in these two places account for two-thirds of the total, and they cannot be mobilized in a short period of time.

For example, the Japanese counterattack this time seemed to have a lot of troops, but in fact they were all transferred from the garrison troops of various cities, and their combat effectiveness was not strong. It was just a coincidence that the 114th Division was close, otherwise he would not have been able to come.

The headquarters' garrison has been decided. The Political Department must speed up the transformation of the puppet army prisoners, have them join the production of the Logistics Department as soon as possible, and increase the mining of iron ore!"

"Young Marshal, more than 1500 puppet soldiers were captured in this operation. Our division headquarters is too close to the iron mine. In order to ensure safety, it is not easy to let them work in a short period of time. I have a plan, let's see if it works?" Jiang Feng said.

This time the puppet army resisted a little bit, and if the logistics department didn't really need manpower, Xu Le would not have planned to keep these people.

"what idea?"

"It's like this. Guo Di Tie has been rooted in this area for more than ten years. He was once the head of a regiment. He must have some relationship with the puppet troops in the surrounding area. Why not let Guo Di Tie go and enlighten the captives? Maybe it will be more effective!"

Xu Le looked at the others and seeing that no one spoke, he nodded in agreement.

He liked Guo Diti more and more. In the transfer and establishment of the division headquarters, thanks to Guo Diti's dedication, the guard team members reported that Guo Diti slept no more than 6 hours a day, and spent the rest of the time personally contributing to the construction of barracks for various departments.

Moreover, with Guo Diti taking the lead, his 800 men also worked very hard. If outsiders saw them, they would definitely not think that they were once prisoners of the 176th Division.

Xu Le wanted to wait and see. If nothing unexpected happened, he wanted to organize Guo Ditie and others into a separate regiment to fill the vacancy in the last regiment.

"There are only two main lines of defense in Meidong Mountain. Baozidong is still under the charge of the 667th Regiment, and the mountain village is under the charge of the 666th Regiment. The strategic location of the mountain village is much more important. If necessary, you two regiment leaders can discuss and assist in the deployment of defenses. After all, it is not far away!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Liu Quanhua and Wang Dafu answered in unison!

"This is my plan for defense deployment. Our three major departments have gradually matured, and we are still short of people in all aspects, so I have considered transferring the leaders of each department!"

This was a matter of time, and everyone knew it, and everyone saw it. If there was anyone busier than Guo Diet, it would be Jiang Feng.

"The General Staff Headquarters must be improved first. Currently, the Intelligence Department, Surveying and Mapping Department, Military Training Department, Communications Department, Equipment Department, etc. have almost been put into operation. They all need suitable people to lead them. The appointment of personnel will be handed over to Jiang Feng!

From now on, Jiang Feng will resign from the position of commander of the 387th Brigade and take up the position of deputy chief of the General Staff, taking full responsibility for all matters of the General Staff! "

"Yes, I will definitely live up to the young marshal's high expectations!" Jiang Feng stood up and saluted!

Everyone looked at him with envy.

Apart from the National Guard that controls the Tang Dynasty, which has a military committee, no other local force has established a similar department. If compared with the military ranks of the National Guard, Jiang Feng can be considered at least a second-level general.

It is not something that everyone can do to jump from a major general to a two-star general.

There are only 20 vacancies for the rank of second-level general in the National Guard. If these 20 people are not sacrificed or investigated, the rest of the people will not be able to take that position even if they have great abilities.

Because his collar badge has three golden five-pointed stars, he is also called a three-star general.

The one with 4 stars is a first-class general. There are only 8 vacancies in the entire National Guard. They are either leaders of large local warlords or senior figures in the National Guard.

The last one is the special general, that is, a five-star general. There is only one in the entire Tang Dynasty, the supreme leader of the National Guard, Commander Jiang.

Xu Le also applauded in celebration. This was only a nominal promotion. In fact, the Independent 176th Division was under the jurisdiction of the National Guard Army and did not have the right to award ranks on its own, so Jiang Feng still had the rank of major general!

As for the Chief of the General Staff Ye Zihei, it is naturally Xu Le who will take the position personally. This does not need to be said.

"Okay, next is Liu Quanhua!"

Liu Quanhua stood up instantly and put away his slightly grinning face.

"Liu Quanhua will take over Jiang Feng's position as the commander of the 388th Brigade. Although the 387th Brigade is not yet complete, it also needs to put the issue of the brigade headquarters on the agenda. The position of brigade commander will be held by Wang Dafu."

Wang Dafu also stood up instantly, and shouted in unison with Liu Quanhua: "Yes, we will definitely live up to the young commander's expectations!"

"Well, sit down! The 387th Brigade was ambushed by the Japanese and all the soldiers died. This is the designation of a heroic unit. Brigade Commander Wang, I hope you can uphold the honor of the 387th Brigade and continue it!"
