People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 162 Civilian Army Artillery Lieutenant Colonel
The sun is rising, and the sun is shining on the ground.

Chen Ziyun brought the troops back to the 48th Independent Brigade last night, and was personally greeted by Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries, Chu Yunfei saw the tired Chen Ziyun, and asked him to rest.

This time the commanding troops took the initiative to attack and fought for several days and nights. Chen Ziyun hardly had time to sleep.

Now that he finally has a chance to rest, he is ready to take a good rest.

But at six o'clock in the morning, the orderly of the brigade headquarters quickly came over.

Chen Ziyun was woken up directly. After knowing that Chu Yunfei had called an emergency meeting, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately got up and went to the brigade headquarters.

When Chen Ziyun came to the brigade headquarters, Qian Bojun and other officers had already arrived at the meeting room.

Officers Wu Ziqiang, Shi Yuzhen, and Liang Guoping greeted Chen Ziyun directly after seeing him.

As for Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui, they glanced at him coldly, their eyes full of hostility.

When Chen Ziyun saw the two of them, he was filled with anger when he thought that the little devils would know his whereabouts in advance of commanding the troops.

But before Chen Ziyun had an attack, Chu Yunfei brought Fang Ligong directly to the conference room.

The officers stood up to salute one after another, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong returned the salute, and then motioned for everyone to take their seats.

"Ziyun made great contributions to this battle, and all parties have sent commendation messages. My independent 48th brigade can be said to have followed Ziyun."

"I really didn't expect that although Ziyun was born in artillery, he is also unique in commanding infantry."

"Even the Chief's Department specially sent a telegram, saying that you, Chen Ziyun, are a mighty member of our Jinsui Army."

"Ziyun, there are not many people who can receive such an award from Chief Yan."

Chu Yunfei looked at Chen Ziyun, and said with a smile on his face.

In this battle, Chu Yunfei originally hoped that Chen Ziyun could destroy the railway, and it would be enough to support the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain.

But how could he have imagined that Chen Ziyun commanded the troops, with the cooperation of Li Yunlong's troops, to severely damage the Sato detachment and the Harada detachment successively.

And to a large extent, the blockhouses and blockhouses set up along the northern section of the Tongpu Railway were destroyed, and the Tongpu Railway was completely paralyzed.

The most important point is that they intercepted the military column transporting supplies, seized a large number of shells and artillery, and strongly supported the Zhongtiaoshan defenders in their operations.

It was also because of this battle that Wei Junru and Yan Laoxi recommended Chen Ziyun successively.

The headmaster of Peidu personally finalized Chen Ziyun as the acting colonel head of the 11th Preparatory Regiment.

Of course, the 11th regiment was prepared, which was naturally expanded from three independent infantry battalions directly under the independent 48th brigade.

"Brigade, we have faced a large number of Japanese troops in several battles, but Commander Chen can always command the battle calmly."

"Under his command, we have dealt heavy blows to the Japanese army time and time again. Even though the Japanese army has the upper hand, they have never gained anything against our troops."

"Commander Chen's ability to command in battle is superb. Under his effective command, the infantry and artillery can display the strongest combat effectiveness."

"Our brigade can be deployed under the brigade seat and under the command of Commander Chen. In the future, it will definitely become the elite trump card of Jin Province."

As Chu Yunfei's voice fell, Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yujian immediately echoed.

They kept praising Chen Ziyun and responding to Chu Yunfei. At the same time, by doing so, they could more or less demonstrate their combat achievements.

Hearing these words, Chu Yunfei showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then he looked towards Fang Ligong.

On the other hand, Fang Ligong directly took out a telegram and announced a series of orders on the spot.

The Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Battalions of the Independent Infantry were expanded into the 11th Reserve Regiment.

After hearing the news, everyone had expressions of anticipation on their faces.

Especially Qian Bojun, the infantry commander, must know that these three infantry battalions are under his command.

Now it has been expanded into the 11th Preparatory Regiment. According to common sense and his qualifications, he deserves the position of head of the regiment.

Qian Bojun glanced at Chen Ziyun playfully, the meaning was obvious: No matter how powerful you are, Chen Ziyun, you still want to make a wedding dress for me, Qian Bojun.

"The General Headquarters transferred the order of the Minister's Department to appoint Chen Ziyun as the acting head of the Colonel of the 11th Reserve Regiment."

"At the same time, the order of the Civil Service Department was transferred, and Chen Ziyun was given the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Army Infantry."

As Fang Ligong read it out in public, all the officers couldn't help but froze in place, with incredible expressions on their faces.

Qian Bojun, Zhang Fugui and others were surprised that the position of head of the 11th Preparatory Regiment fell on Chen Ziyun's head.

But Wu Ziqiang and others were the orders that shocked the civil service department, and it was the civil service Chen Ziyun who was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel of the army artillery.

At present, in the regular army, there are two kinds of military ranks: official military rank and civilian military rank.

The so-called military ranks, such as Chu Yunfei's major general and brigade commander, and Chen Ziyun's colonel acting commander.

This military rank, what position they hold, and the position determines the military rank.

And if Chu Yunfei lost his position as brigade commander, he would naturally not have the rank of major general.

At this time, Chu Yunfei's identity was determined according to his military rank.

As for the civil service rank, it is equivalent to a permanent rank.

For example, Chen Ziyun was revoked from his position as regiment leader in the future. Even if he became squad leader or platoon leader, he would still be the squad leader of the lieutenant colonel or the platoon leader of the lieutenant colonel.

This civil military rank is a long-term military rank and will not be canceled because of his position change.

Of course, don't look at the fact that there are so many generals now, but in fact there is a big gap between their civil service ranks and their current ranks.

For example, Chu Yunfei's military rank is only the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Army Infantry.

Of course, let alone Chu Yunfei, Liao Yaoxiang, the leader of the sixth stage of Huangpu, commanded 10,000+ troops, but was only the commander of the Lieutenant General Corps.

However, his real civil service rank is nothing more than a colonel of the cavalry, and he was not given the rank of major general until the later period.

It is obviously reasonable for Chen Ziyun to serve as the acting head of the 11th Preparatory Regiment.

However, he was directly promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Army Artillery, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong did not expect such an arrangement in the Civil Service Hall.

After all, in terms of civil service rank, Chen Ziyun and Chu Yunfei are at the same level.

As for Fang Ligong's current colonel chief of staff, Wu Ziqiang and others' major and battalion commander, these are all official ranks.

In terms of civil service ranks, they are naturally inferior to Chen Ziyun's.

"Traveler, even though he, Chen Ziyun, has great military exploits, but in terms of seniority, the position of regiment commander cannot be assigned to him."

"Three independent infantry battalions expanded into the 11th Regiment, and Chen Ziyun served as the acting regiment commander. Then, as an infantry commander, do I still have meaning?"

"If you don't need our old brothers who have followed you through life and death for many years, please tell us directly, and we will naturally give up our position."

"But the brigade uses this method to promote newcomers and exclude us old brothers. Isn't the brigade department afraid of the brothers' chilling?"

"Forget it, the traveler is willing to support him, Chen Ziyun, and I, Qian Bojun, can't make things difficult for the traveler, so I will resign here!"

When everyone sighed with Chen Ziyun's military rank, Qian Bojun slapped the table and stood up.

He looked at Chu Yunfei and said with a serious expression on his face.

At the beginning, he was in command of a powerful officer with [-] troops. In the later period, he commanded three independent infantry battalions, but his authority was greatly affected.

But now, three independent infantry battalions expanded into the 11th regiment, and he was directly kicked out, and Chen Ziyun came to serve as the acting regiment leader.

Naturally, Qian Bojun quit. He was furious and pressed Chu Yunfei directly.

At present, many officers present have also followed Chu Yunfei for many years, and Qian Bojun's words touched them.

They inevitably worried that they would end up like Qian Bojun in the future, and the atmosphere in the conference room became tense for a while.

Wherever there are people, there will be disputes and intrigues.

Especially for troops like the Jinsui Army, a small matter can put everyone in danger.

What's more, Chu Yunfei's troops are very special. They have been suppressed for many years, and now they have been expanded.

Many old brothers who followed Chu Yunfei inevitably thought that a rising tide lifts all boats.

But if officers like Qian Bojun were squeezed out and forced to resign, many people would have other ideas.

"Ziyun's military achievements are obvious to all. If such military achievements are placed in other troops, even if he is exceptionally promoted to be the deputy brigade commander, there will be no problem."

"What's more, Ziyun, the acting head, was personally recommended by Chief Wei and Yan, and was personally approved by the accompanying capital committee."

"It is reasonable for Ziyun to serve as the acting head of the 11th Preparatory Regiment, and he also has the ability."

"Bo Jun, you have followed me for many years, and you also came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood!"

"I, Chu, treat you all, you should know in your heart."

"The Independent 48th Brigade has been reorganized several times, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. I am the brigade commander, so naturally I will not favor one over another!"

Chu Yunfei stood up, looked towards the officers, and said with a serious expression on his face.

He looked at Qian Bojun and the others indifferently, and then slapped a telegram directly on the table.

Qian Bojun, who was closest to Chu Yunfei, glanced at the telegram. It was obviously Qian Bojun's letter of appointment!

After receiving the telegram from the Minister's Department, Chu Yunfei personally recommended Qian Bojun to replace him as the colonel head of the 358 regiment.

After being reported by the General Headquarters of the Seventh Army and approved by the Minister's Department, Qian Bojun also got the post of acting colonel of the 358 regiment.

Of course, Chu Yunfei's recommendation before may have been mixed with other emotions.

But at this moment, Chu Yunfei only had one thought in his mind, which was to let Qian Bojun take over the 358 regiment, it was all for the sake of balance!
"It's incredible to be recommended by Chief Wei and Chief Yan at the same time."

"The commissioner personally approved it. It seems that the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Civil Service Artillery is also the meaning of the commissioner."

"Head Chen is so valued, the future must be limitless."

"Commander Qian, we are all old brothers who have followed Luzao for many years. How could you not know Luzao?"

"Look, the traveler personally recommended you to take over the 358th regiment, you are still like this, how chilling the traveler is."

"Brother seat, Commander Qian is also confused for a moment, we old subordinates will absolutely support any decision you make."

The officers stood up and began to speak softly.

Chen Ziyun, the head of the regiment, was recommended by many bigwigs, and they were naturally convinced.

And Qian Bojun got the position of acting head of the 358 regiment, which also made many people feel at ease.

For a while, Qian Bojun was criticized verbally and in writing, and he couldn't help but lower his head.

"Traveler, I...I don't know..." After a while, Qian Bojun took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Chu Yunfei waved his hand, indicating that it doesn't matter.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfei motioned for everyone to sit down again.

Chu Yunfei has abilities, and his IQ is also online.

In the original play, Li Jiazhen and Chu Yunfei were accused of being a bad move.

In fact, it was not the case. If he didn't go, with Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui's control over the first battalion, this army might become a traitor.

And when Chu Yunfei went to Lijia Town, even though Lao Li took away his weapons and equipment, the 2000 troops from the first battalion stayed behind.

For the Jinsui army, it is difficult to replenish soldiers, but it is very easy for them to replenish weapons and equipment.

It can be seen from this that Chu Yunfei is not simple in all aspects.

After everyone was seated, Chu Yunfei played some emotional cards.

Later, Chu Yunfei announced in public that he would directly adjust the establishment of the Independent 48th Brigade.

The 358th regiment, under the jurisdiction of the first battalion, the second battalion, the third battalion, and the fourth battalion, is directly under the artillery company, with a total strength of 300 people.

The 11th regiment has five battalions, six battalions, seven battalions and artillery battalion under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of 3000 people.

It belongs to the Artillery Battalion commanded by Chen Ziyun's 11th Preparatory Regiment, which has the first mountain artillery company, the second mountain artillery company, and the ammunition company.

Liang Guoping served as the battalion commander, Li Yang served as the deputy battalion commander, and concurrently served as the commander of the first company of Shanpao, and Sun Xiong served as the commander of the second company of Shanpao.

As for the cavalry company, guard company, and field artillery company that originally belonged to the artillery battalion, they were placed directly under the brigade headquarters.

In addition to these three companies, the brigade headquarters is also directly under the supply company and the communication company!
These five companies have a total of 1000 people, which means that the 48th Independent Brigade has a total of 300 people!

Of course, after the losses in this battle and the expansion, there is still a shortage of soldiers in each department.

Chu Yunfei will arrange for Fang Ligong to deal with the supplementary soldiers.

"After research by the brigade headquarters, it was decided to continue to retain Chen Ziyun's position as infantry commander."

"Chen Ziyun has the authority to mobilize and command troops directly under the brigade headquarters, without special approval from the brigade headquarters."

"Qian Bojun was appointed as the acting head of the 358 regiment, and his position as infantry commander was dismissed."

"Next, we will focus on supplementing the missing troops of each department, and at the same time strengthen the training of each department."

"At present, our brigade's artillery has obvious advantages, and joint infantry operations are a key training item."

"Ziyun, you have to take responsibility for this matter yourself."

Chu Yunfei said directly at the end that he retained Chen Ziyun's authority as the infantry commander.

And this time Chu Yunfei gave Chen Ziyun the greatest trust, that is, he has the authority to mobilize troops directly under the brigade without the approval of the brigade.

With such authority, Chen Ziyun is obviously the absolute second in command of the Independent 48th Brigade.

As for Qian Bojun, although he got the position of acting head of the 358 regiment.

However, the four infantry battalions under the 358th Regiment were all confidantes promoted by Chu Yunfei himself, and they were absolutely loyal to Chu Yunfei.

It must be no problem for Qian Bojun to command them to execute the brigade headquarters to carry out operations, but if you want to do other things, don't even think about it.

Moreover, Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui were completely separated.

Zhang Fugui's Seventh Battalion stayed in the 11th Reserve Regiment and accepted the command of Chen Ziyun.

At the same time, here is the regiment headquarters of Yangcun Xinyi Regiment not far from the Independent 48th Brigade.

Li Yunlong tremblingly came to the regiment headquarters, while Brigadier Chen, who made him terrified, was standing in front of the map with a whip in his hand.
