Chapter 130 Guangzheng is really poaching the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!
"I want Zhou Weimin and the Tiger Brigade to become heroic troops and pioneers in the anti-Japanese war."
......
The middle-aged man's words made the Military Control Commissioner lower his head and dare not speak.
In fact, the commander of the Military Control Commission understood the pain of middle-aged people very well.
The war has been going on for three years. Millions of national troops have suffered defeat after defeat and lost territory one after another. In this dark moment.
How much middle-aged people hope to see a victory.
The appearance of Zhou Weimin gave the middle-aged man a shot in the arm.
Especially Zhou Weimin's identity, he is the middle-aged man's fellow villager, the middle-aged man's student, and he was once an officer in the middle-aged man's direct troops.
With all this, how could the middle-aged man not value and respect Zhou Weimin?
And Zhou Weimin’s reward to the middle-aged man was the battle record of the Tiger Guard Brigade.
......
The headquarters of the Huben Brigade is Hutou Mountain.
Zhou Weimin didn't know that his military rank had reached the general level and that he was about to become a division commander.
At this moment, Zhou Weimin was inspecting the situation of each regiment.
After several battles, the system rewarded Zhou Weimin with a lot of military supplies.
These military supplies were enough for Zhou Weimin to expand his army to 60,000 people.
So Zhou Weimin's nouveau riche mentality began again, and he inspected the various regiments to see what they still lacked.
Firepower first.
This word was not uttered by Zhou Weimin.
A large number of mortars, mountain guns, anti-aircraft guns and heavy artillery were distributed.
Now every squad in the Tiger Brigade is equipped with a mortar. How inhumane!
If the Central Army were to be replaced by these cannons, it could form an artillery division.
But the consequence of getting so many artillery pieces at once was that there were not enough gunners to operate them.
You have to know that operating artillery is a delicate job, and it is difficult for people without a certain level of education to do it well.
Especially the air defense battalion formed by Zhou Weimin, which is a more technical branch of the army.
"Commander, it takes at least six months to train a qualified howitzer, and that requires someone with a certain level of education."
"But now there are too few of these people in our brigade."
"We simply don't have enough people to operate the artillery now!"
Chief of Staff Shen Fei looked at Zhou Weimin and said with a wry smile.
Shen Fei really didn't expect that Zhou Weimin would be so rich and inhumane.
Seeing those cannons, Shen Fei was happy, but also worried!
"My Chief of Staff, why do you always think about training yourself? Can't you believe in other methods?"
"For example, look for them in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"I know the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has many artillerymen, but few artillery pieces."
"Let's not talk about the other Shanxi-Suiyuan armies, just talk about the 358th Regiment. As far as I know, there are 358 to gunners in the th Regiment alone."
"Do all these gunners have artillery?"
"I remember that some of the gunners in our Tiger Brigade were former soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"These gunners must have some comrades!"
"Let these gunners take the silver dollars and go find their comrades to reminisce about the past."
"We in the Tiger Brigade are treated so well, these gunners shouldn't show off."
"Tell these gunners that if they can bring artillery to our Tiger Brigade, they will be rewarded with ten silver dollars for each artilleryman."
"And the artillerymen who were brought here were all given a resettlement allowance of thirty silver dollars."
"I don't believe we can't get a few gunners."
Zhou Weimin said to Shen Fei with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Brigade Commander...this is inappropriate!"
Shen Fei was shocked when he heard this. It was not uncommon for troops to poach each other's personnel.
But it is usually done secretly.
But people like Zhou Weimin poached people openly and generously, and threw silver dollars around.
It was the first time Shen Fei saw it.
"What's wrong with this? The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army doesn't have that many artillery pieces anyway. It would be a waste to keep these gunners."
Zhou Weimin really didn't feel embarrassed. Job hopping was a very common thing in his previous life.
Your treatment is not as good as others, and you don’t allow me to change jobs.
After hearing this, Shen Fei thought about it carefully, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
So, for the next few dozen days, the Jinsui Army's defense zone in northwestern Shanxi was filled with the figures of the Tiger Brigade soldiers.
These soldiers of the Tiger Guard Brigade were initially recruited only as gunners.
But gradually, they started to recruit not only gunners but also all kinds of soldiers.
Especially the wounded soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Most of them went to the Tiger Guards.
The Jinsui Army paid little attention to these wounded soldiers, and some of them were left to fend for themselves because they had no medicine.
But the Tiger Guards have medicine!
The Japanese's large-scale mopping-up operation left many wounded soldiers in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which gave the Tiger Brigade an opportunity.
Because there were too many wounded soldiers in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
The medical company of the Tiger Guard Brigade can no longer meet the needs.
Zhou Weimin waved his hand and the medical company became a medical battalion.
Moreover, this medical camp has more than a thousand people, including nearly three hundred doctors, and the rest are nurses who know some treatment.
In just less than twenty days.
The Tiger Guards Brigade brought nearly 10,000 soldiers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, including nearly 5,000 wounded soldiers.
There were nearly 2,000 gunners and hundreds of drivers.
There were also dozens of lower-ranking officers.
This made the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army panic, and each regiment reported to Commander Yan one after another.
Especially the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army near Hutou Mountain, where the Huben Brigade was stationed, their shouts were the loudest.
Because the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army troops stationed near Hutou Mountain, the base of the Huben Brigade, suffered the greatest losses.
There was a regiment with only more than 2,000 people, but 600 to 700 of them went to the Tiger Guard Brigade.
Commander Yan was very angry about this situation.
But is getting angry useful?
No.
The Tiger Guards Brigade is not under the jurisdiction of Commander Yan!
Besides, the reward given to Zhou Weimin by the middle-aged man has now spread throughout the country, and the battle record of the Tiger Brigade has spread throughout the country.
24-year-old major general division commander!
The best person in the country!
After a loud curse, Commander Yan quickly sent Sun Chu to the Huben Brigade’s base, Hutou Mountain.
Sun Chu is very fast, he has to be fast!
Because the Huben Brigade is still recruiting people, if this continues, more than 40,000 troops of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army in northwestern Shanxi will belong to his Huben Brigade.
"Wei Min! What do you want to do?"
"You mentioned those wounded soldiers. You can dig them out if you want. Our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army won't say anything."
"But you can't poach people from the army!"
"What do you mean by doing this? Commander Yan is very angry."
"If you keep digging like this, there will be no more Jinsui Army in northwest Shanxi."
When Sun Chu saw Zhou Weimin, he did not question him loudly or get angry.
Instead, he spoke with a friendly look.
Sun Chu had always known that the Tiger Guards were very powerful, but after actually seeing them, he discovered that they were not just powerful.
On the way to Heiyun Village, Sun Chu walked very slowly and discovered too many things.
So when Sun Chu first met Zhou Weimin, he did not question the Huben Brigade about poaching people, but instead tried to build relationships with them.
Because of Qiao Linwei.
Sun Chu directly asked Zhou Weimin to call him Uncle Sun, and now Zhou Weimin was Sun Chu's nephew.
I have to say that Sun Chu is really shameless and can really let go.
Of course, all this is also due to Zhou Weimin’s strong strength.
