"Brother Guangting, don't make me embarrassed. The Chairman has no time to see you now. You can go back to Xiangtan first. The 200th Division cannot be without you as the military chief."

"Brother Weiwen, I really have something important to ask the principal. Can you tell me about it?" Du Guangting said earnestly.

"Hey, I'll try again. To be honest, I really don't know why you have to go to the New Army. What's there to attract you?"

"Brother Wei Wen, when you see the shocking scene of the armored cluster charge tactics, you won't say such things to me." Du Guangting said.

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Yes, this is what I saw with my own eyes. Leng Guoguang drew an elite infantry battalion from the New 38th Division and the New 37th Brigade of the New 1st Army, and cooperated with the armored brigade to participate in the attack on Guide. This battle completely changed my tactics of using tanks and armored combat vehicles. The Japanese army's frontal defense position was easily torn a hole and drove straight into..."

"This small team that seems to have tanks formed is not difficult to capture the opponent's position on the plane, right?"

"What if the opponent also has tanks?" Du Guangting said, "If you compare the Japanese tank tactics with the New First Army, although the New First Army is not perfect, the Japanese army must be very terrible."

"Guangting, have you passed?"

"Absolutely, I know, you won't believe anything I say. As long as you go to the New First Army, you will understand that their joint offensive tactics of the Infantry and Tank are definitely trained and targeted the Japanese tactics. The Japanese army is not an opponent at all. If Leng Guoguang had not taken action, even if the Kuomintang army could take Guide, the loss would probably be considerable, and the time would be extended backwards!" Du Guangting said seriously.

Lin Wei does not deny this. The 106th Japanese reinforcements of the 106th Division had arrived in Bozhou, less than 100 kilometers away from Guide. Tang's army was ordered to block the attack. After the hard battle, he would be unable to hold on. If the New 38th Division had not been maneuvered south quickly, I really wouldn't know what the outcome of the Battle of Guide would have ended.

"Is that so powerful? I'm really curious about what you said. The last time I went to Xuzhou with my husband, I met Leng Guoguang. He looked ordinary, but his temper was quite good. If you want to go to the New Army, I'm afraid you have to pass his level. If he doesn't agree with you, you won't even think about what you want."

"I heard that Leng Guoguang is very righteous and not difficult to get along with. Chief Li and Chief Xue from the Fifth War Zone both commented on him well."

"Yes, he has a good relationship with Chief Li Delin and Chief Xue Boling, but he has a bad relationship with Chairman Liu and Chief He of Henan. Even Deputy Chief Bai has complained about him. The gentleman uses it and guards against him, and does not really trust him."

"Why is this?"

"Sir, how can you and I guess at your own risk? I don't know this." Lin Wei said, "Brother Guangting, I have invited this meal. Don't spend it anymore. I'll ask you again. Mr. has great expectations for you."

"Thank you, Brother Weiwen." Du Guangting stood up and clasped his fists.

"Brother Guangting, stay."

Regarding the candidate for the deputy commander of the New First Army, Chiang Kai-shek has been looking for it for a long time. This person must first be absolutely loyal to himself and have the ability. Can he make a difference in the New First Army?

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to put someone in, as it would intensify his relationship with Leng Feng.

At this stage, he and Leng Feng are harmonious on the surface, because the interests and goals of both sides are consistent, and Leng Feng also knows that the overall situation is taken into account, which many of him do not have.

Leng Feng is a talent with a view of the overall situation and military command capabilities, but this person is beyond his control.

Of course, talented people will not be willing to be controlled by others, not to mention that they only have a teacher-student relationship with Leng Feng, and they are far apart, just nominal.

The General Staff reported several candidates, but Lao Jiang didn't like any of them. Although He Jingzhi knew how to figure out what Lao Jiang meant, he had no relationship with Leng Feng, so of course he would not seriously pick someone for him.

Those with local backgrounds will definitely not be able to do it. They must be Huangpu Group. Who in the Huangpu Group can take on such an important task?

Logically speaking, there are many candidates. Anyone who chooses from the first and second phases of Huangpu can be the deputy commander, but the problem is Leng Feng.

He Jingzhi had to consider what Chiang Kai-shek meant, but it also depends on whether the selected person was willing to join the New Army to form a team.

Leng Feng is a junior student in Huangpu’s ninth phase, and those first and second phases are all very awesome. Many people can’t stand this face.

He Jingzhi also knew that those with poor abilities would definitely not work. If they go there, they would be useless. They would not be able to fight Leng Feng at all. The best result was to hang up high.

Those with strong abilities would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow. The commander and the commander of his own division are well-behaved, and he has the final say alone, and no one wants it psychologically.

Of course, there are not no candidates listed by He Jingzhi.

There is one.

Li Yao's rank, commander of the 3rd Division, Huangpu First Division, was brave and resourceful in war, but his temper was a little worse. Among the generals of Huangpu First Division, Lao Jiang still valued it very much.

However, he also knew Du Guangting’s idea. When he came back from Wuhan, he came to meet him in person and wanted to transfer him to the New Army.

Of course, Du Guangting’s purpose was not to be a deputy commander, but to steal the division and learn the tactics of the tank and armor of the New First Army.

After you have finished your studies, you may not be able to stay in the New Army.

Lao Jiang also knew that Du Guangting had made some effort, but he was not only considering what tactics Leng Feng was doing, but the whole of the New Army.

Chiang Kai-shek wanted to control the New First Army, but he could not tell anyone about this intention, so he had to choose someone who could stay in the New First Army and help him control the New First Army at a critical moment.

Although Du Guangting is a good candidate, once he leaves, there will be no military commander in the 200th Division. Who will replace him?

The 200th Division is a newly formed unit and the first fully mechanized unit. However, based on high expectations, even the future of the National Army.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek scolded Du Guangting fiercely and ordered him to return to Xiangtan immediately to train the troops and not have such ideas.

But Lao Jiang did not expect that the student was also convinced and disobeyed and did not return to Xiangtan. Instead, he wanted to continue to persuade him to go to the New Army.

"He still wants to go to the New Army?"

"Guangting said that even if he returns to the 200th Division, he does not have the armor tactics of the New First Army. At best, the 200th Division is just as comparable to the Japanese army. If you want to defeat the Japanese army, you must learn the armor tactics of the New First Army."

"In his eyes, the mechanized corps built by our government that consumed a lot of national currency is not as good as the armored forces formed by Leng Guoguang seizure of Japanese tanks and combat vehicles?" Old Jiang snorted coldly, obviously Du Guangting felt a little dissatisfied with such a statement.

"Sir, I think what Guangting said is not unreasonable. In the Battle of Guide, the New First Army Armored Brigade did make great contributions. If the New First Army really had such advanced tactics, why not promote it?"

"What do you mean is to let Leng Guoguang teach this tactic?"

"It's not impossible, but it's..."

"I'm afraid I have to pay a certain price?"

"The only thing that the National Army can use now is probably the only ones they and the 200th Division. Even if other troops have learned it, there is no such condition. So if Leng Guoguang doesn't teach it, we really can't do it."

"But where did his tactics come from?"

"I don't know this."

"Let Du Guangting come to see me tomorrow morning." Old Jiang thought for a moment. This would not work. The 200th Division could not be without a military chief. Even if Du Guangting wanted to go to the New First Army to work and train, there would be one person in the 200th Division to temporarily preside over the work.

"yes!"

The deputy commander of the New First Army has not been appointed for a long time, and Leng Feng was also a little worried. Although the deputy commander was ranked behind the commander and the chief of staff, he had a lot of power. If Chiang really wanted to mix sand for himself, there was nothing he could do.

Regarding the issue of candidates, Lao Jiang also called him to ask him about his past and asked him if there was a suitable candidate. He also signed up for three people and went up.

The first one is his old leader, Xie Chengrui. This is fine. If the subordinates are promoted, it is normal to promote the old leader.

The second is Sun Zhongren, who has qualifications and education, as well as commanded combat experience, American background, etc., and is more than enough to serve as deputy commander.

The third one is Qiu Qingquan, who is the first division commander of the Honorary First Division and Leng Feng’s Bole. Leng Feng mentioned that he was the deputy commander, so he wanted him to come back.

But among these three people, Leng Feng knew best that Qiu Qingquan could not return to the New First Army. Gui Yongqing, the commander of the 27th Army, could not be long, and the position of the commander would soon be his.

And he wasn't willing to come back and be his deputy.

The old regiment commander and Sun Zhongren, if Chiang Kai-shek is willing to promote one person in the New First Army, the old regiment commander will have a better chance than Sun Zhongren.

Although the old leader was a top student studying in France, he was much better than Sun Zhongren when teaching the corps and in terms of closeness and alienation.

But if Chiang was determined to transfer one person outside, no matter who was suitable for the two, the position of this military commander would not be their turn.

Leng Feng didn't know that Qiu Qingquan's name was among the candidates recommended by He Jingzhi, but the first one of Jiang Jiang was to cross him out.

What Chiang Kai-shek values ​​more is Li Yaojie, the commander of the Third Division. Li Yaojie has nothing to do with Leng Feng. If he becomes a new army, he will definitely need his support if he wants to open up the situation.

Qiu Qingquan is different. He has served as the commander of the Honorary First Division and can easily integrate into it.

Li Yutang has a hot temper, and this is a place that can be used. If it causes a rift between him and Leng Feng, it will definitely be better controlled.

But Li Yutang was not worried about military affairs. Chiang Kai-shek was worried that his honest character would be won over by Leng Feng, it would be no longer a mix of sand, but a gift to Leng Feng.

Chiang really found it difficult to make up his mind.

Du Guangting acted like he had to go to the New Army, which made him very upset. The poor choice of deputy commander would affect the next step of work.

Dilingling...

In the apartment, Du Guangting, who was sitting and waiting, suddenly looked up by the ring of the phone.

"Guangting, you can prepare and come to Luojia Mountain tomorrow morning!"

"Brother Wei Wen, thank you so much!" Du Guangting was very happy when he received this call.

"It was your persistence that moved the principal. I think your affairs should be a little sure of it." Lin Wei said, "I think the principal's meaning is a little loose today."

"Really?"

"There is another candidate for the deputy commander of the New First Army, Li Yaojie, who is in the first phase of yours. The principal originally wanted him and has sent someone to summon him back to Wuhan. Whoever you two can be the deputy commander depends on your performance tomorrow." Lin Wei reminded.

"Brother Wei Wen, should the principal meet me or should the two meet each other?"

"I don't know this anymore. He only told me this." Lin Wei hung up the phone after saying that.

"Du Guangting, are you sure?"

"Martial Commander, this is a telegram sent by Director Wu. How could I get it wrong?" Xue Ping said seriously. He sent the telegram in person.

The telegram about Wu Xiaoyun is generally handed over to the confidential secretary directly or to Guo Weiquan for communication. The important thing is, Xue Ping comes here in person.

"Who is there another choice?"

"It's Li Yaojie, the commander of the third division."

"Is it him?" Leng Feng was also a little surprised. The candidates for the two deputy commanders that Lao Jiang chose for him were beyond his expectations.

One is the commander of the future Eighth Army, but the Eighth Army is no longer the Eighth Army in history, and his position as the commander was occupied by Luo Yufeng.

So it is definitely not his turn to be the commander of the Eighth Army, so it is okay to be a deputy commander.
To be continued...
