    After eight or nine hours of long journey, Zhang Xian and Wang Jiang finally arrived in Wanxian County.

    Wanxian County is the gateway to eastern Sichuan. It is located on the northwest bank of the Yangtze River and at the west entrance of the Three Gorges. It is one of the ten major ports on the Yangtze River and strangles the throat of the Sichuan River. It is 327 kilometers away from the capital Chongqing and 321 kilometers away from Yichang.  Kilometers have always been the only place for Jianghan to enter Sichuan, and it is also a battleground for military strategists.  Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the capital of the country has been moved from Nanjing to Chongqing, so Wanxian County has become a military fortress. The government has deployed heavy troops here. The 11th Division, one of the main forces of the national army, is now ordered to garrison here.  What Zhang Xian still remembers most is the Wanxian air battle two years ago. It was here that Captain Kurishenko of the Soviet Air Force who assisted China flew a plane to fight the Japanese army in the sky, and he was still able to fight in a one-on-three situation.  He shot down an enemy plane and then made an emergency landing in the Yangtze River, saving the plane and his comrades, but he was swept away by the rushing river.  At that time, Zhang Xian was still studying at the Army Officer School in Chengdu, and it was reported in the newspapers. From that moment on, Zhang Xian remembered Wanxian as a heroic city.

    The headquarters of the 11th Division is located in the center of Wanxian County, where the original military police headquarters was located.

    As soon as the convoy arrived at the entrance of the division, someone was already here to greet them. Of course, it was not Zhang Xian and Wang Jiang who greeted them, but the division commander Fang Qing.

    Zhang Xian and Wang Jiang carried their own things, which was a simple package, in the back of the car and watched Teacher Fang chatting with the people who greeted him from a distance, not knowing where they would be arranged.

    Company Commander Zhang, who was leading the team, came over. He patted Zhang Xian on the shoulder and asked Zhang Xian: "King of Guns, come to our company, okay?"

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment and said, "I will follow the commander's orders!"

    Company Commander Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to the division commander and ask him to put you in our company." After saying that, he quickly followed.

    Wang Jiang looked at Zhang Xian with envy and said, "King of Guns! Hey, I really regret why I didn't become a Gunsling King. Seeing as they like you so much, you must have a bright future."

    Zhang Xian frowned and said unhappily: "When I was a soldier, I always wanted to fight the Japanese. I never thought about becoming an official. If you have such thoughts, I advise you to go back to Chongqing instead of joining the army.  ."

    Wang Jiang's face turned red and white for a while. Fortunately, he had been with Zhang Xian for three years and was used to being snatched away by him. He smiled disapprovingly and said: "You are just an idiot. Of course I came here to fight. If I can  If you can fight and lead troops, wouldn't that be better? Are you willing to be cannon fodder for others all your life? "

    "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Zhang Xian certainly knows this famous saying, but he also knows that if he has the slightest utilitarianism, then he is not a good soldier.

    Company Commander Zhang over there obviously said something to Commander Fang. Commander Fang waved to them and shouted: "Kids, come here."

    Zhang Xian and Wang Jiang quickly adjusted their military uniforms and caps, ran to Commander Fang in a standard running posture, and saluted him and the leaders beside him.

    Next to Fang Zhi was a thirty-four or five-year-old colonel officer. This man was not too tall, but he was full of energy. Although his face was not as straight as Master Fang's, it was still sharp and angular, making him unforgettable as soon as he saw it.  What's more interesting is that his eyebrows are not thick, but they are parallel to each other, and there is no curvature at all. It makes people think that he should be a wealthy person at first sight.  In the days to come, just as Zhang Xian thought, this man did have some plans, and what he didn't expect was that this man would become the key to success or failure in his life.  This person is Hu Congjun, the current deputy commander of the 11th Division.

    "Is this the gun king you call him?" Hu Congjun asked Company Commander Zhang.

    "Yes!" Captain Zhang nodded.

    "Oh, then I would like to see it." Hu Congjun said.

    Teacher Fang stopped with a smile: "Forget it, Lao Hu, I have already seen it. If you want to see it, you can talk about it later. We have been running for a day and we are tired."

    Hu Congjun then smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I had forgotten that my subordinates have prepared a banquet for the division commander. Firstly, it is to welcome the division commander's return, and secondly, it is also to celebrate your promotion to major general."

    "Haha, let's talk about the banquet later." Commander Fang said, pointing at Zhang Xian and Wang Jiang: "These two brats are the child soldiers I brought. This one's name is Zhang Xian, and he is the gun king. This one's name is Wang Jiang. They  I'm a classmate." After saying that, he introduced to them: "This is Hu Congjun, the deputy commander of the 11th Division."

    "Hello, Sir Hu!" Zhang Xian and Wang Jiang saluted Hu Congjun at the same time.

    "This is Chief of Staff Roda." He pointed to an officer behind Hu Congjun and introduced.

    "Luo Chang"??Okay!  "The two saluted Rhoda again.

    Roda returned the salute and said with a smile: "The division commander personally brought these two student soldiers here. I guess he values ??these two student soldiers very much."

    Fang Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "These two brats are quite courageous. They got into my car by themselves, not me who picked them up."

    "Yes!" Zhang Xian said sheepishly, "We didn't know it was the division commander's car at the time."

    "Okay, okay, since we came in the same car, it means that we are all destined, haha, I hope you two can work well in the 11th Division." After saying that, he said to Company Commander Zhang: "That's good, Company Commander Zhang, Division  The Ministry has decided that your 32nd Regiment will be responsible for the training of new recruits. These two brats will go with you for the time being, but I have to tell you that after the training, the Division Headquarters will allocate them uniformly. It¡¯s not about who you want or who you don¡¯t want.¡±

    "Yes! Commander!" Captain Zhang saluted quickly.

    *******************

    Company Commander Zhang¡¯s full name is Zhang Muli. He is a native of Hunan and a graduate of the Central Army Military Academy. He is just five levels higher than Zhang Xian. When he went to school, the school was still in Nanjing.  Company Commander Zhang is now twenty-eight years old, nearly ten years older than Zhang Xian. In front of Zhang Xian and Wang Jiang, he always calls himself Senior Brother. Because his surname is also Zhang, he regards Zhang Xian as his younger brother and takes good care of him.  .

    Zhang Muli is the company commander of the battalion and company of the 32nd Regiment of the 11th Division. Above him are the battalion commander and regimental commander.  The commander of the 1st Battalion is named Wang Yuanling, and the commander of the 32nd Regiment is named Yang Tao. These two officers, Zhang Xian and Wang Jiang, have not met yet, but they have been famous for a long time. We know that both of them are graduates of Huangpu Military Academy.  They are all heroes in the Battle of Songhu, and they are also the objects of their worship.  At this time, the battalion commander Wang Yuanling was injured in the Battle of Dangyang and was being treated in the rear hospital. The deputy battalion commander died in the battle and the vacancy was left. In fact, the 1st Battalion now has Zhang Muli acting as battalion commander.

    For the 11th Division, there is already a serious shortage of combatants at this time. Take the 32nd Regiment as an example. According to the establishment, there should be three battalions, each battalion has four companies, and each company has three to four platoons.  Each platoon has three squads, and each squad has ten to fifteen soldiers. The full strength of this regiment should be at least two thousand people, which does not include the cooking squad and other logistics non-combatants.  After several wars, especially the recent Yichang Defense War, the number of combatants in the 32nd Regiment has dropped sharply, the casualties have been removed, and less than half of the soldiers are truly combat-effective.

    When the first battalion was full, there were more than 500 people, but now, although there are still four companies, the total number of combatants is less than 200.  Of course, there are still more than a hundred wounded soldiers who are still being treated in the hospital. Even if they recover, it is not known how many of them can return to the team. According to the wartime conscription law of the Republic of China, disabled soldiers should  Demobilized on the spot.

    In order to integrate a fighting team as soon as possible, the division commander Fang Qing transferred the 32nd Regiment, the backbone of the 11th Division, to train new recruits. This 32nd Regiment only had 700 or 800 people. Of course, after the baptism of the war,  After that, those who survived were naturally a group of backbones and elites in the army.

    The first battalion is responsible for the training of more than a thousand recruits. This is undoubtedly a huge task for the first battalion with only more than 200 people.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
