After evening, Du Guangting returned to the New First Army headquarters.

This day's visit opened his eyes. The New First Army was completely different from any ** unit he had seen. It was disciplined, vigorous, strong, and high quality. It was almost as good as the original teaching corps.

It is true that the foundation of the New First Army is the Teaching Corps, but the original Teaching Corps no longer exists, and the New First Army was reborn in the hands of Leng Feng.

This is a unit reborn from the ashes!

"Deputy Military Officer Du, this is your office. Look at what you need to buy? You can ask the person from the General Affairs Department of the Secretary-General Office to buy it on your behalf. Your full-time adjutant is in the adjutant's office and the induction procedures have been completed. You have a guard platoon. Should we arrange it for you or..."

"No need for this, I have someone myself, they are on the way."

"That's good." Fang Xiaoyang breathed a sigh of relief. If he asked him to arrange this job, it would be really hard to do.

"In principle, our New Army does not allow family members to accompany the army, but if the couple are both soldiers, it should not be messed up. However, we will have unified arrangements for the family members. Does Deputy Military Officer Du have any needs in this regard?"

"Oh, no need, no need..." Du Guangting waved his hand quickly. His hometown is in Mizhi, Shaanxi. There were no Japanese invaders there, and there was no need to mobilize troops.

Fang Xiaoyang handed Du Guangting an envelope, which was bulging inside, probably money or something. Du Guangting's face suddenly became unfavorable when he saw it.

"What is this for?"

"Don't get me wrong with Deputy Military Officer Du. Every officer who has just joined the New First Army will pay a fee in advance. You can think it is a settlement fee or a registration fee. This money is for the first time to buy daily necessities. If the money is not much, you will accept it."

Du Guangting hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, opened the envelope directly, took it out and counted it, and there were two hundred French coins.

At the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, two hundred French currencies were equivalent to the morale of a lieutenant general for one month's military pay.

The money is a lot, and compared to ordinary soldiers, they have to have two years of military pay, but it is much lower than other troops. If another troops have just taken office, a lieutenant general and deputy commander have to pay at least a thousand oceans. It is the same whether they collect it or not, but the price is there.

The New Army only gave two hundred yuan, but it was not the ocean or the fiat currency. Everyone knows that the fiat currency depreciates every day. If you take this money this month, you can buy two pigs. I don’t know how much you can buy next month.

"Fiat currency?"

"Yes, we will send whatever the government gives us." Fang Xiaoyang smiled embarrassedly. According to the military expenditure of the government, each division of the Central Army gave 250,000 yuan. In addition to weapons and ammunition, the military expenditure of the New First Army was only 650,000 yuan in a month. But in fact, the money that Leng Feng had to spend every month was at least 1.5 million yuan.

Even if you count the extra rewards.

To maintain the normal consumption of the troops every month, you have to spend more than 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. This is normal. Once a war starts, it will be even more costly.

You should know that there are not many people in the Central Army who can be fully allocated for 250,000 military expenses, and sometimes it is common to deduct 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

However, no one dared to be greedy for the New First Army. At that time, someone wanted to be greedy for the New 38th Brigade, but Leng Feng directly stabbed him to Lao Jiang. The people who forced him to spit out the money obediently and gave compensation.

The money the soldiers exchanged for blood, these people dared to be greedy, which was simply crazy.

From that time, Leng Feng and He Jingzhi took over Liangzi, and the Ministry of Military Affairs did not dare to deduct the New Army's military pay. It could be slow, but it could not be missed.

"Tonight, you have a good rest. There will be a meeting tomorrow morning, at nine o'clock, the conference room downstairs, and dinner will still be in the military cafeteria."

"Okay, thank you Secretary Fang."

"I only gave 50 yuan of legal tender, and this new army is also stingy..."

"Adminton Gao, what did you say?"

"No, nothing, Chief Du, you are back, you have been out for a day. I have cleaned your place and office..." Adjutant Gao said embarrassedly.

"Since we are here, you know my rules. Don't make trouble for me." Du Guangting scolded him sternly.

"Yes, Chief Du."

"You go and see what food is available in the cafeteria tonight, get some for me. I've been walking for a long time and I'm hungry." Du Guangting ordered.

The food of the New First Army is really good. At night, it is actually three dishes and one soup, and rice is enough. Although Du Guangting has no worries about food and drink, the conditions in Xiangtan are really very hard. He can only share the joys and sorrows with the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division, so the food is naturally a bit worse.

Compared with the New First Army, it is naturally a bit worse.

He was really shocked when he had lunch at Tiexi Daying. The food standards of the New First Army were really shocked. If the New First Army were following the way of eating, the entire Chinese army would instantly lose the National Government.

These days, troops that can eat enough are very good. If they can still pay military salaries, it is worth working hard. This troops that can eat enough and pay military salaries in full are simply terrible.

The Central Army is borrowing debts and paying wages, so where does the New Army have such strong financial resources?

After watching for a day, many questions were circling in Du Guangting's mind. Although he could see something, the real thing could not be seen with a glance.

Especially what he wanted to see, he didn't even see the shadow.

Don't worry, since I'm here, I will always see you. I just don't know what kind of division of labor arrangements Leng Guoguang will make for him, the deputy commander, and I will see it tomorrow's meeting.

He could still feel that the New Army had an instinctive sense of rejection towards him. This feeling was not very strong, but it really existed.

"The Military Commission appointed Li Yaojie as the deputy commander of the Eighth Army, and at the same time included the 3rd Division in the Eighth Army. The total strength of the Eighth Army is now close to 40,000."

"The stronger the Eighth Army, it will be no harm to us, but I am worried about the relationship between Luo Crazy and Li Yaojie. Luo Crazy is straight-hearted and sometimes he can offend people when speaking."

"Isn't there still Qin Yankun, and Deputy Commander Wang Zhizhong and others, there should be no problem."

"Li Yaojie was originally going to come to our New First Army, but now he has gone to the Eighth Army and is also serving as the deputy commander. I'm afraid he is not so happy."

"That's right, but it's hard to do military orders. Even if Li Yaojie has resentment, he shouldn't spread it to others."

"Old Xie, Du Guangting is not a small person, we have to deal with it carefully. If he is willing to be on the same path as us, then it's best. If there is any intention, then we don't have to be too polite to him. People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. This is my attitude of being a human being and doing things." Leng Feng said to Xie Jiyuan.

"Well, observe first, observe. I heard that Du Guangting has a good character, at least much better than Tang Keqin and others."

"Well, it's getting late, it's all gone, Liao Sen stays for a while."

"Military throne, what else is there?" Liao Sen stood up without saying that, not knowing why Leng Feng left him alone for what he did.

"Jianchu, Deputy Commander Du went to your place today. Have you ever told you anything?"

"What did you say?" Liao Sen was confused.

"Du Guangting came to our new army, and his purpose is not simple. I always feel that he came for a certain purpose. What do you think he came for?"

"Staff, he is not coming for our mechanized infantry tactics, right?"

"Ninety-nine, otherwise he would be a lieutenant general commander, and the chairman would hand over the most elite mechanized German infantry division to him. He would not be able to come to my new army and be my deputy. With his resources and abilities, it would be more than enough to be a commander." Leng Feng nodded.

"What does the military throne mean?"

"Since we know that he is here for this, there is no need for us to hide it. If he wants to see it, just show it to him. I plan to form a new armored assault brigade based on the armored brigade, and you will serve as the brigade commander, and Li Ye will be your deputy, how about it?"

"Armored Assault Brigade?" Liao Sen's eyes were lit up excitedly when he heard this. He learned mechanized army tactics and armored assault in France, which was really what he dreamed of.

"Also, the 200th Division suffered a considerable loss in the battles between Xuzhou and Lanfeng, and the military equipment purchased from Germany may not be able to be fully transported back. I think it is very likely that the 200th Division will be equipped with Su-type equipment. The equipment systems of the Su-type and German are different. How to combine and apply the equipment of the two? This is a topic, and you will study it in advance."

"Military, you wouldn't have the idea of ​​the 200th Division?"

"The 200th Division, 201st Division, 202nd Division, even the numbers are next to each other. Do you think it should be a trinity?" Leng Feng smiled and everything was silent.

"You really dare to think about it, the Chairman will not agree."

"I'll talk, Mr. Jiang will definitely not agree, but can I change someone else?" Leng Feng said with a smile.

"I understand, military commander, I know what to do." Liao Sen was shocked and immediately understood Leng Feng's intention. He was going to pull Du Guangting into the water.

"If he really comes to what we say, he will definitely look for you again. Just be clear about how to grasp the right position," Leng Feng instructed.

"Don't worry, military seat."

If Du Guangting could really bring in, it would be of great help to him. Du Guangting's ability and experience would definitely be a general who could stand alone.

He and Sun Zhongren are not capable of ups and downs, and they will play a huge role in fighting against Japan in the future.

"Military throne, discover a Japanese army and a new unit code: Lü!"

"Lu?" Leng Feng was shocked when he heard this. Isn't this the code name of the 11th Army? Why has the Japanese base camp officially formed the 11th Army?

Anyone who knows the history of the War of Resistance knows that the 11th Army was formed to capture Wuhan, and in the future it will become the largest strategic attack group of the Japanese army in China. The first commander was Okamura Yasuji.

To form the 11th Army, it seems that the Japanese base camp has decided to fight the Wuhan Battle.

The signal is becoming more and more obvious.
