Chapter 32 Transfer of Command

However, Ma Chao understands the limited decentralization, but the current situation that can be said to have retreated behind the scenes still surprises Ma Chao.Hence the question.

"You don't have to be surprised. I've been thinking about this for a long time. Now that you've discovered it, let's listen to it."

"From the beginning, I graduated from the Political Department of Whampoa Phase IV. After graduation, I served as a platoon leader in the First Division of the National Revolutionary Army and participated in the Northern Expedition. Later, I was transferred to the Cai Tingkai Department of the No.19 Route Army as the company commander. In Jinan He was wounded in the crusade against Sun Chuanfang, and after he recovered, he successively served as the battalion commander of the Security Department of Hen Province, the deputy of the lieutenant colonel, and the chief of staff of the brigade.”

"During the July 80th Incident, I served as the chief of staff of the [-]nd Brigade of the No. [-] Eighth Division of the Army. After the battle at the Zhabei Bazi Bridge, I was transferred to the [-]th Regiment as the deputy head. After the head died, I took over his position. Leading the troops to confront the little devil at the North Railway Station, and then leading a battalion of soldiers to cover the large troops to evacuate here."

"The purpose of telling you this is not to show off how good my resume is, but to tell you that my command ability can only reach the level of a company commander. Especially when stationed at the North Railway Station, two For many months, the failure to expel the Japanese invaders caused the army to lose troops and generals. To be honest, I feel uneasy!"

"Besides, I was left here to lead the troops to cover the evacuation of SH city for other troops. Others don't know the reason. I just graduated from a political department. Can I not know the reason? You know, the 88th Division is a German weapon division. If we want to perform a drama that would rather be broken than whole, why leave us alone to defend Shanghai, which is already everyone's enemy. However, I am not reconciled! So, I have been asking myself how to lead my brothers They completed the task and were able to complete the task alive. Although I am ready to kill myself, I have to survive the death and find a way for these brothers who believe in me."

"However, as a political cadre, I think my political ability is not bad. However, my military ability can only be regarded as poor. A company can be regarded as capable and handy. But the commanding force reaches a battalion. At the time, I can only describe it as being overwhelmed and stretched. Therefore, I have no way to formulate a suitable plan to deal with the little devil. I can only use the lives of my brothers here to defend my family. The heart of the country!"

"It just so happens that you came here last night. You were originally kept here only to strengthen the defenders. After all, a devil's major is worth it. But I never expected that you are so outstanding. After your suggestion, I just thought it would be a good idea to give it a try, so I handed over the command to you, but I didn't expect that the results would be so excellent!"

"Besides, although I have given the command to you on the surface, the loyalty of the officers and soldiers of the 88th Regiment, the main force of the [-]th Division, the most elite force of the Republic of China, is unquestionable, so even if you Show the slightest act of treason and they will kill you immediately."

"But after you proposed your plan during the day, I went to the concession to report the plan, and at the same time I also investigated your identity. Fortunately, because of Du Yuesheng and your father, you are also in the military command's information database. Therefore, Your suspicions have been completely ruled out. Moreover, after reporting the plan, the Nanjing side agreed in principle to let you be the commander here, but they need to formally award you the title after this battle is over."

"After I came back, I told Lei Xiong, Yang Ruifu and the others. Originally, I just wanted to wait for them to come back and give you an official order, but I didn't expect you to find out so quickly." Will face Xie Jinyuan, who was hidden under the shadow of the brim of his hat, said with some melancholy.

"However, as long as you find out, I will officially let go of this burden. In the future, I hope you can lead our brothers to have a better future!" After speaking, Xie Jinyuan turned to Ma Chao , made a solemn military salute!

Ma Chao saw this, and immediately returned the gift with a solemn expression.

"Then, I'll go in first to see how they are doing. From now on, it's up to you, Captain Ma. Haha." Xie Jinyuan, who had completed the handover, seemed to be reborn, and the gloriously changed hair let out a hearty laugh and turned away. go.

At this time, Ma Chao could somewhat understand Xie Jinyuan's thoughts. After the death of the head of the May [-]th regiment, the burden of the entire regiment overwhelmed Xie Jinyuan, but what he had done before was basically the work of the staff department. The experience of leading troops is only at the company level, and in [-] he achieved the position of the nominal deputy battalion commander and actually the company commander.

After that, he was promoted to the position of chief of staff of the brigade headquarters of the 88nd brigade, and the post of staff officer of the [-]th division.After the Battle of Songhu broke out on August [-]th, he was transferred to the [-]th Regiment as the lieutenant colonel's deputy, and assisted the head of the regiment, Han Xianyuan, to take care of the combat matters.After Han Xianyuan, the leader of the regiment, died, he led the May [-]th regiment to Zhabei Railway Station to deal with the Japanese army.

In the past two months, although not an inch of ground was lost, it was based on the huge sacrifices made by the May [-]th Regiment.Therefore, these two months have been extremely difficult for Xie Jinyuan.

As for why Xie Jinyuan was allowed to stay in the Sixing Warehouse, Ma Chao’s guess is this: As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek’s original plan was to leave a division behind to cover the main force and push into the second line of defense, and at the cost of all the deaths in exchange for the benefits of European and American society. Compassion and support.Therefore, the general of the 88th Division was selected. It is estimated that Lao Jiang also hated Sun Yuanliang, who was nicknamed the parachutist, and wanted him to die in battle, so as not to embarrass him.

Then, here comes the problem, Sun Yuanliang is nicknamed the parachutist, a famous escaped general, and his life-saving ability is unrivaled.After understanding the cause and effect, I feel that since it is for political purposes, the troops staying in Zhabei are sacrificed if they are more powerful, and they are sacrificed if they are less powerful;Therefore, after negotiating with General Gu Zhutong, Sun Yuanliang reduced his troops to one regiment.

Then, the 88th Division, which has already suffered a lot of casualties, now has to send out another regiment to perform this doomed tragedy. Sun Yuanliang is not reconciled.In the end, it was decided to reduce a regiment to a battalion for defense.But military orders are like a mountain, how can the strength reflected in the order really be a battalion.

Hey, at this time, the [-]th Regiment, with only one battalion left, appeared. Its strength happened to be only one reinforced battalion, and its designation happened to be the designation of a regiment-level organization. It is currently led by political cadres who graduated from the fourth phase of the political science department in Whampoa. This ideological awareness is definitely enough, and there is no more suitable option than it.

And Xie Jinyuan, as a student of the fourth period of the Whampoa Department, this kind of news can't be hidden from him at all. Although his ideological awareness is absolutely high enough, his heart is not so simple. One can imagine the grief and indignation in my heart.Presumably this is the reason why Xie Jinyuan can hand over power so happily at this time, without him, it is really not that material!
Therefore, in the original time and space, the May [-]th Regiment, to a certain extent, led a tragic curtain call under the leadership of Xie Jinyuan.
