Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 963 The Wisdom of Balance!

Da Ya finally found the real liar!

Poor Ming Xin was still smiling brightly on the stage, making Shen Laoliu and his gang want to beat him up.

Little did they know that no matter how many demons there were or how powerful the demons were, they would be eliminated one day.

Although the future of this Taoist heir who was determined to slay demons and eliminate demons is still unknown, according to the life experience of some people who have experienced it, when a man is "coveted" by a woman, it can be basically predicted that no matter how big the forest is, it has nothing to do with his bird.

The mountain gate where he said goodbye to his senior brother may really be gone.

Of course, at this time, Daya didn't think so much, she just wanted to find the big liar. As for what to do after finding him, there was really no definite plan.

Countless men and women in the secular world met each other like this!

After the "first-class war merit" was awarded, the newly appointed Director Ye and Deputy Head Lei awarded medals to the winners of the "second-class war merit". The medals made of half a tael of gold and half a tael of silver were also very impressive.

More than 30 second-class military merit winners, including Shen Laoliu and Lu Zhongda, not only wore medals, but also received additional gifts, each of them a freshly baked three-edged military bayonet.

This is the first batch of military bayonets produced by the Sihang Regiment Military Factory this time. Although the steel used is not as good as the barrel steel used in the batch of obstacle clearing knives, it is also made of the steel plates of Japanese tanks destroyed in the battle of Jindong.

This batch of only 150 military bayonets will be supplied first to the special squadron that will be upgraded to a reconnaissance company, and the officers and soldiers who won the second-class military merit.

In order to show the honor, these more than 30 military bayonets were also engraved with the names and time of the meritorious officers and soldiers as a commemoration.

Shen Laoliu was satisfied this time, grinning and baring his yellow teeth as he stepped down from the stage. Not as good as the best, but better than the worst, right?

After the "third-class military merit" and "fourth-class military merit" were awarded, Tang Dao walked back to the wooden rostrum and stood in front of the microphone.

The officers and soldiers in the audience fell silent. Everyone knew that the rumored highlight was coming.

"According to the current financial situation of our Four-line Regiment and after approval by the military department, our regiment will pay military salaries according to the new standard from March 1938.

After discussion and confirmation at the military meeting of the regiment, the salary standards of our regiment are as follows: Unranked supplementary soldiers and new recruits have a monthly salary of 8 yuan; second-class soldiers have a monthly salary of 10 yuan; first-class soldiers have a monthly salary of 12 yuan; senior soldiers have a monthly salary of 14 yuan; corporals have a monthly salary of 16 yuan; sergeants have a monthly salary of 18 yuan; sergeants have a monthly salary of 20 yuan;

warrant officers have a monthly salary of 32 yuan; second lieutenants have a monthly salary of 42 yuan; lieutenants have a monthly salary of 60 yuan; captains have a monthly salary of 80 yuan; majors have a monthly salary of 135 yuan; lieutenant colonels have a monthly salary of 170 yuan; colonels have a monthly salary of 240 yuan.

In addition, those who choose not to increase their military ranks or salaries will receive salaries according to their corresponding levels!"

After Tang Dao read the resolution of the regiment, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

In fact, the military pay implemented by the Four-Line Regiment is almost completely in accordance with the military pay standard issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs. The only difference is that the pay of the lowest-level soldiers is slightly increased.

The reason why the middle and low-level officers and soldiers applauded and expressed their joy was all because of the national crisis military pay that had been implemented throughout the army.

The so-called national crisis military pay is nothing more than the current financial difficulties of the country. The collective pay of the entire army from top to bottom has been halved. For example, a second-class soldier only gets five yuan a month.

This life was originally sold to the country, and it was not worth it, but a few dollars could not even support a family, which was indeed a worry for many people.

And the commander of the regiment, Tang Dao, personally said that it was decided by the regiment, so naturally from this month, the pay of each officer and soldier will be restored to the pre-war level, and the soldiers at the bottom will naturally be the happiest.

The happiest ones are actually the group of recruits who have not yet been given military ranks. They originally thought that it would be good to have something to eat before becoming formal soldiers, but they didn’t expect to get a monthly pay of 8 yuan and start supporting their families directly.

This is just the monthly salary. If you add the war allowance announced by the regiment a few days ago, and there will be one for every battle in the future, even new soldiers will earn at least 100 yuan a year.

Of course, the premise is that they don't die.

To put it bluntly, the Four-Line Regiment did not increase the salary of the regiment without authorization, but paid it according to the standard, and did not deduct it according to the current so-called national disaster salary, but this has made the officers and soldiers very satisfied.

At this time, the Chinese soldiers really didn't have such great wishes. They just wanted to support their families with the money they earned from risking their lives.

Perhaps, compared with the jubilant soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment, only Ye Chenghuan, who was standing in the corner of the stage, had bitter eyes.

Of course, it was not because he was seconded and could not get a generous salary. Before he came, the Four-Line Regiment had already determined that all the benefits of him, an army colonel, would be paid in accordance with Tang Dao, the commander of the regiment.

What made Ye Chenghuan feel sour was that his old unit, the 80th Army, from the army chief to the division chief, only received a salary of 5 yuan per month, and he, a colonel, only received 4 yuan, which was only half of the salary of a newly recruited soldier in the 4th Regiment.

Of course, he also knew that the 80th Army was too large and had a large number of personnel to support, which was far less flexible and maneuverable than the 4th Regiment. Moreover, the 4th Regiment was able to have such confidence because of the huge amount of Japanese treasures seized in the battle of Jindong.

Last night, when he heard the report from Master Zhuang that the current available funds in the regiment would be as high as 4 million silver dollars, Director Ye Da almost dropped his chin on the table. That was more than the military expenditure of the 921st Division for half a year.

How did you end up in this wealthy infantry regiment? At that moment, he really even had a suspicion that he had been sold to the Si Xing Regiment. After all, the Si Xing Regiment had promised to pay more than 100,000 silver dollars to the entire division's participating personnel the next time they went to the brigade headquarters.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that I was not worth the price, and my brigade commander would not rely on his subordinates in exchange for money, so I felt more balanced.

Obviously, this warrior's understanding of his brigade commander is really not that clear.

That is to say, Tang Dao didn't ask for a price. Tang Dao dared to give all the captured gold to the 683 brigade. The genius general dared to put the list of all officers above lieutenant colonel and above in his two main regiments plus the supplementary regiment in front of Tang Dao, and Tang Dao could choose as he pleased.

Originally, at last night's meeting, he wanted to object to such high military pay for the entire regiment. According to his idea, it would be better to use this military pay, which can feed tens of thousands of people, to expand the army and prepare for war.

But just as the words came to his lips, he remembered the three requirements that the brigade commander had made with him after a long talk before leaving: "1. After arriving at the Si Xing Regiment, you must respect Tang Dao. He is the supreme commander of the Si Xing Regiment. ; 2. In your work, you must give priority to the Four Elements Group, and truly integrate into the Four Elements Group. Don't always think that you are still a member of the 80th Army. At any time, those who sit on the fence are doomed to fail; 3. During the conquest With Tang Dao's permission, ideological education can be carried out appropriately, but all this must be done on the basis that it cannot arouse the resentment of colleagues in the Four Elements Group. "

Of course Ye Chenghuan knew the mission he had to shoulder when he went to the Four Elements Regiment. The fact that the regiment leader Tang Dao invited him by name to serve as the director of the political training department clearly showed a certain attitude of his. However, the brigade leader let Tang Dao go. To reach such a high level, even at the expense of changing the 80th Army's usual style, was beyond the expectations of this veteran who had been in the army for nearly ten years.

In the end, the general did not express his opinions and opinions as soon as he arrived, but was rare and cautious.

Tang Dao was very satisfied with his partner's performance.

To be honest, he only knew that the partner he named was very capable of commanding and fighting, but history would not describe his personality and way of doing things in such detail. If his personality was too resolute, he would not be afraid, but he would offend Gong Shaoxun and The resentment of the two deputies Lei Xiong will also affect the current harmony of the Four Lines Regiment Headquarters!

You know, Tang Dao spent a lot of words in order to persuade Gong Shaoxun and Lei Xiong to accept this future political leader and military leader.

Fortunately for Lei Xiong, after fighting side by side for so long, the two of them have become comrades who are closer than brothers. Ever since Tang Dao said that he would send students to the north, even if Tang Dao didn't say it clearly, he could guess that Tang Dao His true intention, if he could accompany Tang Dao to Taihang Mountain, he had already made his attitude clear.

But it's not that simple to convince Gong Shaoxun. He finally got the third-in-command position in the Four Elements Group, but suddenly an army colonel came and his ranking was directly reduced by one. Who can be easily convinced?

At one point, he even thought that this was Tang Dao's attempt to weaken the 67th Army's influence on the Four Elements Regiment through this move, which was a typical example of burning bridges across the river.

This is a very normal thinking. The foundation of the Si Xing Regiment was built by Commander Wu of the 67th Army. In addition to the 100 people of the original 88th Division, the 67th Army mobilized hundreds of elite soldiers and generals to build the independent battalion. Gong Shaoxun It is almost the banner among these old men of the 67th Army.

Tang Dao is the first chief officer, and Lei Xiong represents the people of the 88th Division. The two of them are ranked before him. Gong Shaoxun doesn't have any objections, but the results are good now. The Four Elements Regiment is now full-fledged. He is the flag of the 67th Army. He has become the fourth child, who can't have any thoughts in his mind?

Therefore, Tang Dao simply spoke frankly to him, expressed his thoughts, and promised that if he, Gong Shaoxun, was not happy, he could bring the former veterans of the 67th Army back to the 67th Army at any time. Not only did the equipment not need to be returned, but travel expenses would also be provided. .

Gong Shaoxun was stunned for a while. What he originally thought was at most the friction within the group, but he didn't know that Tang Tuanzuo was much bolder than he thought. He wanted to lead his troops to change the flag. If this was done by that You know, neither the Sunny Sky Medal nor the Baoding Medal can protect that head!

Fortunately, this man had served as a personal guard for the young marshal, had followed Commander Wu for two years, and had contact with the 80th Army. Although he did not particularly agree with some of their ideas, he had always been impressed by the combat effectiveness and cohesion of their army. Extremely admired.

Moreover, since Songjiang, he had fought a total of three battles under Tang Dao's command. Not to mention winning all three battles, he had not paid too heavy a price, which made him really indifferent to the commander who was nearly ten years younger than him. He was extremely impressed. He believed in Tang Dao's vision and judgment.

A lie will eventually be supplemented by more lies. Over time, no one will believe it even if it is the truth.

And to tell the truth, although the content is heart-stopping, it is more reassuring.

This is the charm of magnanimous people.

What's more, after the Chang'an Incident, it is no secret that the 67th Army and the 80th Army have been in frequent contact. Otherwise, why do you think the 67th Army, which had just got off the train, was marching against Songjiang to carry the Japanese Tenth Army alone?

As for Tang Dao allowing him, Gong Shaoxun, to leave with his old subordinates from the 67th Army, that was just a joke in this person's opinion. It's not that he doesn't believe that Tang Dao means what he says, but Gong Shaoxun is almost 100% certain that with the current equipment, treatment and momentum of the Four Lines Regiment's consecutive victories, if he can take away ten people, he will win.

And based on Commander Wu's attitude towards Tang Dao, if he goes back like this, the possibility of being thrown into the cold palace is almost certain.

Tang Dao, who spoke his true feelings, did not just think that he could convince his silent deputy by being frank, he also gave him enough attractive conditions.

The cavalry company will be upgraded to a cavalry battalion, with seven to eight cavalry platoons under it, and will purchase enough war horses within half a year, and Gong Shaoxun will serve as the commander of the cavalry battalion as the deputy commander.

This treatment is the same as Lei Xiong's position as the commander of the first battalion, and the cavalry battalion is definitely the most expensive branch of all battalion-level units except the artillery battalion.

At this point, Gong Shaoxun naturally no longer had any resentment!

Tang Dao also took the promise of Gong Shaoxun to serve as the commander of the cavalry battalion to bring up his idea of ​​upgrading several companies directly under the regiment.

The special forces company was upgraded to a special forces battalion. In order to get rid of the reputation of the special forces company doing miscellaneous work, the special squadron was reorganized into a reconnaissance company and placed under the jurisdiction of the special forces battalion;

The cavalry company was upgraded to a cavalry battalion, all of which were dragoon-type, equipped with sabers, carbines, light and heavy machine guns, and mortars, and could even fight mountain offensive and defensive battles when necessary.

The baggage company was upgraded to a baggage battalion. The battalion had five baggage companies, three cart companies, one packhorse company, and one car company. The 23 trucks seized from the Japanese army this time belonged to them.

In order to allow these trucks to pass to Dakouzidong, the Fourth Line Regiment even used explosives to blow up many boulders on dangerous sections of the road, and spent thousands of people to expand the roadbed of some narrow roads. It was not easy to drive back the cars that were left more than 20 miles away and could carry 1.5 tons of cargo.

The baggage battalion will become the largest unit in the entire Fourth Line Regiment, and the total number of staff is destined to exceed 2,000.

Because, after the training of the new recruits, all 1,800 recruits will go to the baggage battalion, and they will be qualified to join the other battalions only after a period of training in the baggage battalion.

The two artillery companies will also be merged to form an artillery battalion, which will be under the jurisdiction of the mountain artillery company, the anti-aircraft company, and the heavy mortar company.

As for the affiliation of the four direct battalion commanders, Tang Dao has already made arrangements. All of them will not be promoted from the current company commanders, but will be directly served by the chief officers of the regiment.

As the head of the regiment, Tang Dao will serve as the battalion commander of the artillery battalion; Lei Xiong will continue to serve as the battalion commander of his first battalion; Ye Chenghuan will serve as the battalion commander of the special service battalion; Gong Shaoxun will serve as the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion; Zhuang Shisan will serve as the battalion commander of the baggage battalion.

At that moment, Ye Chenghuan looked at his head of the regiment with a new look.

Although he was a newcomer, he had carefully studied the Four-Line Regiment to which he was about to be transferred. Because the Four-Line Regiment was temporarily established on the battlefield, and then absorbed various armies to form the current scale, its composition structure is extremely complex.

The backbone forces are mainly the 88th Division of the Central Army, the 67th Army of the Northeast Army, and the 43rd Army of the Sichuan Army, supplemented by another faction of the Sichuan Army, the Songjiang Security Corps, the Yunnan Army and other units.

There is an old Chinese saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, let alone such a complex unit!

Just like the chief officers of the Sihang Regiment, the head of the regiment, Tang Dao, came from the Sichuan Army, and the Sichuan Army and other units naturally followed his lead. He also fought in the Sihang Warehouse and Songjiang. The Central Army led by Lei Xiong, the Northeast Army led by Gong Shaoxun and Guo Shouzhi, and the Songjiang Security Corps led by Zhuang Shisan also obeyed him, so he was naturally able to subdue all the units.

But under Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and Leng Feng, two members of the Central Army, controlled two large infantry battalions, which was obviously the strongest faction; Gong Shaoxun and Guo Shouzhi, representatives of the Northeast Army, controlled an infantry battalion and a cavalry company, which was considered the second group; Zhuang Shisan was the weakest, and was in charge of the staff with only logistics power.

Now the Four-Line Regiment does not have enough troops, so there won't be any problems. But when the Four-Line Regiment expands its troops and the battle line lengthens, once the people's hearts are unbalanced, who knows what will happen.

Tang Dao took advantage of the opportunity of his arrival as the director of the Political Training Department to make a very wise balance of the power of the various forces in the Four-Line Regiment. The cavalry company controlled by Gong Shaoxun was directly upgraded to a cavalry battalion, and Zhuang Shisan also controlled the baggage battalion, which would become the largest organization of the Four-Line Regiment. Whether in terms of power or direct control, they are all important figures in the Four-Line Regiment.

Tang Dao handed over the special service battalion and the teaching brigade to him, the representative of the 80th Army Group, and also told everyone that he was also a person in this "jianghu", and a super heavyweight.

Tang Dao himself directly controlled the most powerful killer in the Four-Line Regiment - the artillery battalion. His purpose was self-evident. You can have some small thoughts, but don't do anything weird to me.

Only this kind of kindness and power plus enough wisdom can subdue these arrogant soldiers from all over the world. How can this be compared to a 22-year-old youth?

Perhaps, only outstanding people like the brigade commander can compare with him!

Being able to fight side by side with such an outstanding person may also be a rare experience. Perhaps Ye Chenghuan has completely given up his original resistance since that moment.

At this time, the new director of the Political Training Department standing in the corner of the stage was full of bitterness because of the comparison between the wealth of the new troops and the financial difficulties of the old troops, but it soon dissipated.

After announcing the pension standards for the sacrifice and serious injuries of the soldiers participating in this battle, Tang Dao walked to him and told him with a smile: "Don't worry about the 683rd Brigade. Brigade Commander Cheng will make a fortune soon."

After a slight surprise, Ye Chenghuan was overjoyed.

Needless to say, this means that there will be another war.

The last battle annihilated more than 4,000 Japanese troops. What about this battle?

In the past time and space, on March 31, the Battle of Xiangtangpu started!
