Beiyang reactionaries

It's hard for them to talk about Duan Xun here, after all, they have no friendship with Duan Xun.

So they mobilized their contacts one by one and started looking for people around Duan Xun.I hope they can say a few good words in front of Duan Xun.

Every day, people whispered to Duan Xun, but Duan Xun kept laughing and didn't give anyone a clear answer.Because Duan Xun has to choose the most suitable one among these recommenders.

Within a few days, Duan Xun already had countless lists here.

"Fu Cheng (Liu Xiang), why is the brigade commander too young, I want to change to a division commander Dangdang."

military expansion.

To expand the army, Duan Xun held a military meeting in Chengdu.A large number of local generals entered Chengdu. Liu Xiang, the commander of the 34th Brigade of the [-]th Division, also came to the meeting.Before the meeting, let's hear what Duan Xun has to say.

"General, how could it be? I don't have that idea."

What Liu Xiang said is true.

Although the expanded troops are nominally a division, a division has only 8000 personnel.And weapons and equipment are not as good as the old troops.Although Liu Xiang's 34th brigade is just a brigade, these troops are all troops that have fought wars.

Liu Xiang's 34th Brigade is the 29th Regiment of the original 400th Mixed Brigade, plus Yu Xuezhong's independent regiment, and Duan Xun's four detachments of the Eastern Sichuan National Defense Army who defected to Duan Xun, a total of more than 34 troops , all incorporated into the 34th Brigade.Therefore, Liu Xiang's [-]th brigade now has tens of thousands of troops.

More importantly, as a direct line of Duan Xun's army, this army has quite good weapons and equipment.There is no shortage of cannons and machine guns, and they are all veterans who have fought in the war.Regardless of whether it was the original 34th regiment, or the original independent regiment, or even several detachments of the Eastern Sichuan National Defense Army, they all fought against the Beiyang Army.Therefore, Liu Xiang's [-]th Brigade is a very powerful force among the Sichuan troops.How could Liu Xiang be the commander of a recruit division so stupidly.

"Then tell me, which Sichuan Army seniors greeted you."

At present, Duan Xun reuses many officers of the Sichuan Army.The one with the highest status is Xiong Kewu, and then Dan Maoxin who is currently sent by Duan Xun to rectify Western Henan.There are also young officers such as Deng Xihou, Wang Yanxu, and Pan Wenhua, who are also very popular with Duan Xun, and are currently regimental leaders.

However, although Xiong Kewu and the others are very popular, they are cautious now, how can they speak for others.Although Deng Xihou and the others were promoted quickly, they were junior officers after all, and they were not qualified to directly contact Duan Xun, let alone discuss the issue of army reorganization with Duan Xun.So it's useless to talk to them about such things.

Duan Xun's direct descendants, also from Sichuan, are Yang Wei and Liu Xiang.Needless to say, Yang Wei is currently the vice-governor of Sichuan, the mayor of Chengdu, the director of the Sichuan Police Department, and the chief of the Chengdu police.But Yang Wei has a weird temper, and he doesn't interfere with the reorganization of the army.As long as he was looking for this matter, he would not meet.

So everyone's eyes are on Liu Xiang.

Duan Xun's Seventeenth Division has three brigades, all of which are powerful.Li Jishen and Shang Zhen, one is a student of Duan Xun, the other is a classmate of Duan Xun, both of whom Duan Xun brought to Sichuan from western Henan.It is understandable to be so reused.

However, Liu Xiang, a junior in the Sichuan army, has risen all the way since joining Duan Xun and has become a powerful figure in the Sichuan army. Many people certainly believe that Liu Xiang is Duan Xun's direct descendant.So a lot of people came to look for Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang was very embarrassed, and it was hard to refuse them.Because of Liu Xiang's lack of experience in the Sichuan Army, many senior officials of the Sichuan Army who were hung up by Duan Xun were either Liu Xiang's teacher in the military academy or his seniors.

One by one in this name made Liu Xiang very annoyed.

"General, there are too many. I really want to close the door and ignore them."

"Hahaha."

Duan Xun smiled.

Then he said: "Fucheng, tell me. There are only you and me here, so you must have something to tell me."

"General, then I'll just say it straight. In fact, my Sichuan army, oh no, it should be said that the 34th Mixed Association also gathered a lot of outstanding generals. So general, I mean, compared with those who are currently staying in Sichuan Generals from Sichuan, aren’t those other officers who have been in Sichuan better?”

"A general who served in the 34 Mixed Association before?"

"Yes, General."

Duan Xun nodded and understood what Liu Xiang meant.

I also understand Liu Xiang's careful thinking.Liu Xiang's qualifications in the Sichuan Army are too low. If other leaders of the Sichuan Army come out again, it may affect Liu Xiang's status in the army.People like Zhou Jun, Liu Cunhou, Wang Lingji, and Zhong Tidao have far more qualifications than Liu Xiang.

Once they leave the mountain, Liu Xiang will be much more difficult to deal with.

But as long as they don't leave the mountain, Liu Xiang will be a representative of the Sichuan Army.Since Duan Xun served as the governor of Sichuan and began to use the Sichuan Army and Sichuan officers wantonly, Liu Xiang hoped that he would always be the representative of the Sichuan Army.

Among the current factions in Duan Xun's army, Liu Xiang was after all, and in terms of qualifications, status, and relationship with Duan Xun, he was inferior to those old people from western Henan.Wanting to climb up and maintain his position with Duan Xun, Liu Xiang thought it was most appropriate for him to be the representative of these Sichuan officers.Only in this way can he have more confidence to speak, and only in this way can he get more attention from Duan Xun.

Duan Xun understood this little thought, but he didn't blame him.

After all, Liu Xiang has reached his current position, and it is not a big deal to think about himself.Who doesn't have a little thought, as long as it doesn't affect the normal work.But his proposal is really good.Because Sichuan is an important province in the southwest, many outstanding generals served as military officers in Sichuan.

Outstanding generals such as Zhu Qinglan, Cheng Qian, Fang Shengtao, Guo Songling, Jiang Dengxuan, and Ye Quan all served in Sichuan before.They did not leave Sichuan until later.

It is also a good way to let them return to Sichuan.

Zhu Qinglan and Cheng Qian's status was too high, Fang Shengtao and Ye Quan held high positions in the Dian army, but Guo Songling and Jiang Dengxuan could issue invitations themselves.Especially Guo Songling, who is still studying at the Army University. Although Jiang Dengxuan went to Guangdong, his life there was not very satisfactory.

In fact, Ye Quan is also very good.

Although he is a general of the Qian army, he has a bad relationship with the boss of the Qian army.After taking refuge in Tang Jiyao, although he has deep qualifications and high status in the Yunnan Army, his relationship with Tang Jiyao is also so-so.There is still a chance to win over.

"That's a good idea. Go back and rest and get ready for the meeting."

"Yes."

82 Army Expansion 3

"Bo Cheng, work so hard."

The officer teaches the brigade.

This was originally the Sichuan Armed Forces School, but the frequent wars after the year of [-] caused too many problems in this school.So much so that it was closed for a period of time after the Second Revolution, and now Duan Xun has turned it into a place for his officers to teach the brigade.

Reorganize the entire Sichuan army.

In order to disrupt the current establishment of the Sichuan army, Duan Xun brought a large number of middle and lower-level officers here for training.Especially those young officers of the Sichuan Army, most of them came here.

Duan Xun's idea is very simple.

Get close to these officers and get to know these young officers of the Sichuan Army.And I teach myself, these people will be my students in the future.Therefore, no matter how busy Duan Xun is, he will spare some time to teach the brigade.More importantly, once they graduate, Duan Xun can dismantle them and prevent them from returning to their original unit.

It is also for the smooth control of the Sichuan army.

"I used to be a frog in a well."

Liu Mingzhao (Liu Bocheng) closed the book, and then sighed: "There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. I used to think that I am very powerful and our troops are very powerful. I didn't expect that there are so many tricks to govern the army and fight. These strategies I have never seen tactical things, and I have never thought about it. It is a worthwhile trip to teach the brigade to relearn."

"Yeah, this time I also opened my eyes."

Wang Tianzhen (Wang Weizhou) nodded.

Liu Mingzhao was in the fourth detachment of the Eastern Sichuan National Defense Army, and Wang Tianzhen was in the first detachment of the Eastern Sichuan National Defense Army. The troops they led were all Sichuan guerrillas during the National Defense War.The performance of the two National Defense Army detachments in the National Defense War was very good.

They frequently attacked the logistics detachment of the National Defense Army. When Cao Kun was in Chongqing, he gritted his teeth against them.Several times to arrange troops to encircle and suppress them failed.Even several detachments of the National Defense Army in eastern Sichuan have finally begun to capture some counties and occupy some counties.

Both of them are young officers who rose from the Sichuan Army in the War to Protect the Nation, and they are well-known around Chongqing.After Xiong Kewu and Duan Xun reached an agreement, after the Sichuan recruiting army accepted Duan Xun's adaptation, these guerrillas of the Sichuan National Defense Army also accepted Duan Xun's adaptation one after another.And these officers of the National Defense Army detachment were all brought here by Duan Xun.

"In the past when leading troops to fight, even though they were also arranging troops, today we discovered that there were many mistakes. We have never thought about it so carefully. General Duan's assault tactics, as well as the layout of defensive positions, and the coordination of infantry and artillery , all of which are very unique. You see, I have been to a military academy, but this is the first time I have learned it. And it is really good. No wonder the main force of the National Defense Army led by General Cai E suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Naxi .If my army and General Duan's army meet on a narrow road, it is estimated that my army will also be defeated."

For Duan Xun, whether Wang Tianzhen or Liu Mingzhao, it is impossible to have too many good impressions.After all, the National Defense War was fought vigorously, but Cai E led the main force of the National Defense Army in Naxi and left in embarrassment after being beaten by Duan Xun.
