Rise From Eight Hundred

"I don't know what happened to Commander Xie and the others. I heard that they have been detained by the foreign devils and won't let them out. Damn, what a bunch of cowards!" It would be fine if he didn't mention this. When Tang Dao mentioned this, Lei Xiong, who was already a little troubled, looked even more depressed.

"It's okay. The Japanese army has the upper hand now. With Commander Xie's behavior, if he comes out early, it may not be a good thing for him and his brothers." Tang Dao handed Lei Xiong a cigarette. "Sit down and talk!"

Tang Dao naturally knew the current situation of Xie Jinyuan and others. Although their freedom was restricted, they were safe and worry-free. The Japanese could not enter the concession. When they entered the concession, they had to wait for two or three years to completely break up with the Westerners.

In the past, those Chinese heroes could only wait to be surrounded by the Japanese army. It was naturally a pity for a group of elite soldiers to become prisoners like that. But now there is a prophet like Tang Dao in the world. He has nearly two or three years of buffer time, which is enough for him to change the fate of these elite soldiers.

Besides, he has arranged people to guard Colonel Xie, and there will never be the tragedy of being assassinated by traitors in the past time and space.

"What you said is true. Now the southeast has fallen into the hands of the enemy. Commander Xie and his brothers may be sent to the battlefield by a group of idiots to die wherever they go." Lei Xiong took a deep puff of cigarette and exhaled blue smoke. "Damn it, this battle is so frustrating!"

"Brother Lei, we are all small soldiers and can't influence the battle situation at the level of the battle, but we can do our best. Let's not talk about those, just talk about us! This time it's still you and me who are on the team. What do you think of the future setting of the regiment?" Tang Dao saw Lei Xiong so depressed, smiled slightly and brought the topic back to the matter of the Four-Line Regiment that was about to be established.

"The setting of the regiment!" Lei Xiong glanced at Tang Dao, but he was not as carefree as before, but a little more cautious. "Sir, do you have a candidate? I'd better listen to your thoughts first."

"Haha, Brother Lei, Brother Lei, it turns out that the machine gun company captain Lei I met when I first arrived at the Sihang Warehouse was not like this." Tang Dao laughed. "The first impression you gave me at that time was that you were like Zhang Fei, one of the Five Tiger Generals under Liu Xuande during the Three Kingdoms period. You looked mighty, but you were actually very thoughtful. What's the matter? You are no longer mighty, but only very thoughtful when you become a high-ranking official?"

"No, I just think that several positions in the regiment are our future partners, and we should base our opinions on you as the first chief officer!" Lei Xiong's old face flushed slightly.

Indeed, Tang Dao hit on some of his little thoughts.

The remaining positions in the regiment are of course extremely important. The military department does not interfere at all, which is naturally a good thing for Tang Dao, but not for Lei Xiong. Lei Xiong knows this very well.

However, everyone has selfish desires. Before meeting Tang Dao, as Tang Dao said, there were at least 10 people who came to ask him for information, if not 20. They were all old brothers from the Fourth Battalion. Some were platoon leaders, some were squad leaders, and some were deputy company commanders. Who wouldn't want to take this rare opportunity to move up? Even if it wasn't for himself, it was human nature to move a place for the brothers who fought with him.

Lei Xiong naturally had to consider these brothers. Before coming, he planned not to interfere with the deputy regiment and battalion positions, but he had to arrange a position for the brothers at the company and squad level, and he believed that Tang Dao would give him this face.

Who knew that Tang Dao said in a nearly joking way that he only had delicate thoughts now, which meant that he had seen through his little thoughts!

"Brother Lei, you and I have been fighting side by side for more than two months now. You know me very well. Whether it was the original Four-line Camp or the later Independent Camp, the competent ones were in charge. This time it was expanded to the Four-line Regiment, and my philosophy remains unchanged." Tang Dao saw that Lei Xiong was embarrassed by his teasing and blunt remarks, and knew that the best way to resolve his embarrassment was to be frank.

"I know this, that is" Lei Xiong sighed slightly.

"Human relations! Someone once said: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. You and I are both people in the rivers and lakes. How can we escape from the network of human relations! Don't worry, I will also consider the brothers. They have fought with you and me for such a long time. No matter how bad they are, they have worked hard without merit. Make the best use of them and put some old brothers in positions suitable for them. Who knows, they will do very well, just like our Chief of Staff Zhuang. Although he is not good at fighting, you, me and Lao Guo can't beat him in logistics!" Tang Dao said with a smile.

"That's right!" Lei Xiong nodded fiercely. "Okay, I know what you're thinking, so I'll just tell you what I think."

"Okay, tell me what you think."

Gu Gen

"The regiment has another deputy commander, and I think Lao Guo is still suitable for this position. First of all, his rank is already a lieutenant colonel, and he was originally a deputy battalion commander. If he is hastily excluded from the regiment, I'm afraid he will have some ideas.

This guy Lao Zhuang is just like what you said, sir. He is not very good at commanding troops to fight, but he is definitely a good person at managing logistics. Moreover, through the fighting during this period, I personally believe that strong logistical support is even more important than strong combat power. Otherwise, without ammunition and food, what's the use of having a passion to kill the enemy?

As for the vacant director of the Political Training Department who needs to be appointed by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, I think it is because the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs wants to bury an informant within our Fourth Army Group and make it clear that it does not believe us. Hey, we can't resist military orders, but I can You have to behave when he comes. If you don't behave, our regiment's long list of those killed in battle will tell those guys that we will never lack soldiers who died in battle. "When Lei Xiong said this, he was already filled with murderous intent.

"Haha, you brother still have that fierce temperament!" Tang Dao couldn't help but laugh.

"I agree with most of what you said, but I disagree with you on one point. Lao Guo is no longer suitable to work in the regiment headquarters."

"Is it because of the military punishment he received some time ago?" Lei Xiong was slightly stunned.

"It's not all because of this. Although I am very angry when Lao Guo takes the lead in disobeying the military order, it is excusable after all. It is difficult for anyone to stay calm in that situation. For example, Brother Lei, you are also indecisive, which is why my independent battalion is in Stay on the edge of the battlefield for how many days?" Tang Dao shook his head.

"But don't you think that because of the existence of you and me, Lao Guo has almost lost the ability to command independently? I remember Lao Guo told me his dream. He wanted to be a general and return to his hometown to support his poor mother in the future. Keep enough face.

To realize this dream, it is not enough to live in the shadow of you and me. He must stand alone and tell everyone with actual combat examples that he is also a warrior of our Four Elements Group. "

"Sir, do you mean you want Lao Guo to be the battalion commander?" Lei Xiong finally came to his senses, but still frowned slightly.

"Lao Guo's position is easy to say. Although the commander of the first battalion has not joined the regiment headquarters, he is also the chief officer of the first battalion. Lao Guo can also be considered as a commander. How to arrange the position of Lao Zhuang? There is no special position in the regiment headquarters. Logistics officer, and the position of chief of staff is extremely important. Leng Feng and the others have already been promoted to the third level in a short period of time. If they are promoted to a higher level, they will be promoted too quickly. I am afraid that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs will not agree easily. If they send us another one because of this, If a chief of staff comes over, it will be difficult."

"Haha, compared to Lao Guo, Lao Zhuang has better arrangements. No matter what kind of work he does in the independent camp, the Four Elements Group will still be finished as usual." Tang Dao chuckled.

"Understood!" Lei Xiong's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Lei Xiong had been working at the battalion and company level, and suddenly he took a big step from deputy battalion commander to deputy regiment commander, which caught him off guard, and he was obviously thinking too much.

In fact, according to the current strength of the independent battalion, it has already surpassed many small infantry regiments. It is said to be an infantry battalion, but in fact it is not much different from an infantry regiment. Since Zhuang Shisan is in charge of logistics as the battalion chief of staff, he should continue to maintain it. Anyway, Tang Dao and Lei Xiong can make decisions on military matters, and he rarely participates. Even if they are both absent, there will still be a second deputy commander!

With Tang Dao's strength, the position of director of the Political Training Department may be handed over to someone sent by the Military and Political Department, but the position of the second deputy commander will never be handed over again. This is what Lei Xiong wants to know most.

Looking at all the officers in the Independent Battalion, large and small, almost all of them were promoted by two or three levels in a short period of time, and all of them lacked qualifications. This is also one of the shortcomings of the current Four Lines Regiment. Most of the officers were promoted to the top soldiers. They have enough actual combat experience, but they have not experienced systematic military school education. Many of them even write their names crookedly. If you mention this and become the second deputy commander, you must not make people laugh!

What's more, Guo Shouzhi's mentality must also be taken into consideration. He could be the battalion commander, but suddenly a former subordinate suddenly became his superior. Anyone who replaced him would probably have some ideas.

Who can be the second deputy leader? Lei Xiong was searching for a job, but he couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
