Although there was no need to rush to Linqu anymore, Hu Congjun still took Zhang Xian and several staff members of the reorganized 11th Division to Linqu to visit the reorganized 8th Division after the great battle. Of course, the main purpose was to express condolences to Commander Li Mi. and his soldiers. Li Mi was naturally grateful for Hu Congjun's arrival. Although the reorganized 11th Division did not help much, he was still very dedicated. And these are exactly what Hu Congjun really wants.
From Linqu, he returned to Nanma. After lingering for a few days, Hu Congjun received the order from the top and led the reorganized 11th Division to the northwest and arrived at Boshan to garrison.
Boshan is a famous ancient city in Shandong and is famous for its porcelain production in the north. However, when the 11th Reorganized Division arrived here, Zhang Xian accompanied Hu Congjun around the city several times and visited several porcelain factories, but they saw this place. The ceramic industry in China is very sluggish, its doors are deserted, and some have already closed down. Everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion. With the war, people's livelihood has declined, and even the most prosperous places have lost their former splendor.
The ancient towns of Boshan, Zhoucun, Zichuan, Zhangdian and Linzi are very close to each other and together form the economic center of central Shandong. However, at this time, it also became a place for competition between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. , no one is willing to give up easily. At this time, General Wang Hui, who was the chairman of Shandong Province, was eager for the 11th Reorganized Division to be stationed here, so he personally came to negotiate with Hu Congjun to lead the 11th Reorganized Division to station in the Zhoucun and Mingshui areas, because there was still a relatively strong army in this area. With the powerful local armed forces of the Communist Army, he wanted the reorganized 11th Division to assist him in wiping out this Communist army.
When he saw Wang Hui again, Zhang Xian was filled with emotion. Wang Hui had lost a lot of weight. It seemed that it was not easy to be the chairman of Shandong Province. When he saw Zhang Xian, Wang Hui was so excited that he couldn't hold back his tears and shed tears. Once upon a time, they were the backbone of the 74th Army, which fought from Changde to Xiangxi. However, at this time, the 74th Army had become a thing of the past. Although the 74th Division had been reorganized and rebuilt, this army was no longer the same. Many old friends of the army have died in this civil war, and Zhang Linfu is the most representative among them.
Zhang Xian's eye circles were also red, and when he saw his old commander, his tears kept rolling. Hu Congjun was very moved when he looked at the two people in front of him. He knew that if it had not hindered the formality of the scene and many senior officials were still present, Wang Hui and Zhang Xian would have hugged each other and burst into tears.
Hu Congjun happily agreed to Wang Hui's request. He could use this opportunity to test his new recruits. After the Battle of Nanma, the reorganized 11th Division integrated more than 500 soldiers captured from the People's Liberation Army into its own troops. At the same time, it recruited thousands of soldiers from the local security forces of the National Army. The missing difference was made up. Of course, Hu Congjun was also very clever. He mixed these new recruits with veterans and sent experienced officers to lead the training, so it was very effective. Especially for those prisoners of the People's Liberation Army, many people advised them to abandon them. However, Hu Congjun argued against all opinions and believed that most of these soldiers were intimidated by their officers before they defected to the Communist army. In fact, they were essentially the same as the National Army. Soldiers are no different at all. Zhang Xian admired this very much. He always saw the Communist Army using captured soldiers of the National Army, but rarely saw the National Army using captured soldiers of the Communist Army. Hu Congjun can be said to be very far-sighted and daring to act. .
The reorganized 11th Division launched a large-scale campaign to suppress the Communist Army in the Zibo area, dividing the area into east and north attack routes. However, after searching and trekking, the two routes successfully joined forces, and no local armed forces of the Communist Army were found in the area. It turned out that these local armed forces of the Communist Party were also very well-informed. After learning of the arrival of the reorganized 11th Division, they had already made arrangements to move to other places.
In order to thank Hu Congjun for his help, Wang Hui specially invited Hu Congjun and several brigade commanders from the reorganized 11th Division to Jinan as guests. Hu Congjun happily went, but just in case, he still kept Zhang Xian behind, which made Zhang Xian A little disappointed, but he was also very aware of Hu Congjun's arrangements. Master Hu was afraid that when he left to reorganize the 11th Division, if there was any situation that others would not be able to handle, he believed that Zhang Xian must have this ability, so it was also a kind of trust in him.
?******************
Zhoucun, always known as "the best village in the world", prospered in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and became a financial and commercial center in northern China. In 1904, the Qing government controlled Zhoucun, together with the province After the opening of Jinan Prefecture and Weixian County to the east as commercial ports, commerce became particularly prosperous. It soon became a famous commercial and trade center radiating from central Shandong and crossing rivers. Since the Jiaoji Railway was built, it has become a link between Shandong Province and Shandong Province. The dry docks on the east and west sides are known as the "Jinzhou Village". The most famous place here is the textile industry, especially the long-standing silk culture.
&nbsIn this way, death in battle can come easily! "
Everyone here looked at each other, and for a moment they didn¡¯t know how to persuade each other.
Zhang Xian picked up a glass of wine, came to Gao Wei's side, patted his shoulder, but said with emotion: "Awei, you and I are in the same year, and we graduated from the military academy at the same time and joined the 11th Division at the same time. We have been friends for at least five or six years at the same time. Listen to me, no one has ever died since ancient times, and his loyalty will be remembered by history!"
Gao Wei was startled for a moment, then suddenly gave a wry smile and murmured to himself: "Leave your loyal heart for history! Haha, before I was released by the Communist Party, they gave me a class for half a month on what Chairman Chiang was. The enemy of the people, the Communist Party is the representative of the people and serves the people. To oppose the Communist Party is to oppose the people. We need to understand the situation clearly and not act as a coward. This kind of statement makes sense, but I am just perfunctory. . But now that I think about it, some of what they said makes sense. Nowadays, the government is full of chaos, corrupt and incompetent, leaving the people in dire straits and ignoring them. Do you think such a government is really worthy of our loyalty?"
Hearing these words, everyone present stared at him, but no one dared to answer.
Zhang Xian coughed and was about to speak when he saw Xu Haibo frowning and stood up and said: "Gao Wei, these words are instigated by the Communist Party. How can you believe them to be true? Indeed, there are many people in our party We are scum, but the nation, civil rights, and people's livelihood are still the goals we pursue. As long as the country is stable, people's livelihood will naturally develop without thinking! Humph! What is the Communist Party? Communists share wives! Don't look at what they say now Well, if they really take power, will they really think about the common people? It¡¯s a joke, I¡¯m afraid that they will not be as good as our Kuomintang by then! I think back when the Red Bandits broke out in our hometown, they said they were attacking the local tyrants to divide their land, but at that time, as long as Anyone who disobeys them and expresses objections will definitely be slaughtered. They are the real butchers! Gao Wei, you are not young anymore. I am not telling you that you don¡¯t distinguish between right and wrong, but you have experienced this. He is so frustrated and dejected, how can he look like a man!"
Xu Haibo's words made Gao Wei's face turn red and white. He and Xu Haibo had a conflict in the past. It was precisely because Xu Haibo beat him when he was the deputy battalion commander, so it still makes him resentful. This is also one of the reasons why he followed Zhang Xian and left the 11th Division. At this time, when he heard that Xu Haibo was lecturing him again in the tone of an officer, he was very unhappy. He snorted and said angrily: "If you don't shed tears until you enter the coffin, and don't give up until you reach the Yellow River, you should be treated as a prisoner." Try it?"
"You" Xu Haibo was speechless for a long time by his words.
"Alright! Alright! What's there to argue about?" Zhang Xian quickly tried to smooth things over and warned everyone: "We are all soldiers of the party and state. As soldiers, we must obey military orders as our bounden duty. Let's not talk about politics anymore. Let¡¯s talk!¡± With that, he raised his glass again and said to everyone: ¡°Today we welcome our good brother Gao Wei back, and we are not allowed to mention the unpleasant past. Come! Come! Come! Let¡¯s all come together. Have a drink!"
Everyone also stood up quickly, raised their wine glasses, touched each other, and then drank them all in one gulp.
Gao Wei and Xu Haibo looked at each other. Although they still looked angry, for Zhang Xian's sake, they also picked up the cup and drank it all. Seeing him finish drinking, Xu Haibo also raised his glass to drink. The unhappiness between the two people seemed to be resolved in this way, but neither of them thought that they would come together in the years to come. At that time, they would have to board the same boat again. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
