    Sure enough, as Chen Fei said, just after the Spring Festival, he came to the 18th Army with a letter of introduction from the headquarters. Zhang Xian personally arranged for him to be in the 2nd Battalion of the 51st Regiment in the 17th Division.  There happens to be a vacancy for a deputy battalion commander. With Chen Fei's official rank and military rank, it is more suitable to take up this position.  However, Chen Fei also knew that even if he was a captain, he was still a newcomer.  There are so many captains in the army. It must be Zhang Xian's care that he can hold this position.

    Chen Daxing was also in the second battalion. After more than a year of serving on the island, he finally successfully set foot on Kinmen Island. In order to allow him to be promoted faster, Zhang Xian arranged for him to join the company directly.  He took up the position of platoon leader.

    At this time, in order to adapt to the development of the new situation, the Ministry of National Defense was reforming the military system of the National Revolutionary Army, and finally decided to abolish the "army" unit and directly let the headquarters take charge of the divisions. This would reduce the number of unnecessary units.  Necessary personnel can also be ordered and prohibited to slim down the huge army.  Of course, this kind of military reform was also carried out in a step-by-step manner. Some military-level units were disbanded in the first year. Because Kinmen was an important frontline area, it was not disbanded until this time. The 18th Army, as an old military unit with a long history,  The troops did not escape the fate of being abolished.

    The dismantling of the 18th Army actually had no impact on the divisions and units under its jurisdiction. The real impact was on personnel like Zhang Xian and Liu Dingtian who were temporarily employed in the military headquarters. These military personnel had to undergo  During the resettlement, some people chose to retire and become veterans, while some people were either demoted to serve in the division, or found their own way to transfer elsewhere.  For Zhang Xian, he hopes that he can retire smoothly and become a veteran, but he also knows that being a veteran in Taiwan is not so easy to get along. When you are on stage, someone may try to give you face, but once  Once you get off the stage, you will be nothing.  Thinking about the situation that I still have a family to support, and Taiwan's economy is so unsatisfactory, if I really have to retire, I'm afraid I won't even have a place to live.  Thinking about the pressure of life, Zhang Xian had to face reality again and put on the military uniform that he had long wanted to take off.  However, this was also Jiren's own destiny. At this time, the chief of staff of Kinmen Command was promoted to the Ministry of National Defense. This position became vacant and immediately became the target of competition among several army commanders and deputy army commanders.  Zhang Xian never thought about seeking that position, but the superiors chose him to serve as chief of staff.

    Being able to serve as the chief of staff of the Kinmen Defense Command did surprise Zhang Xian, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be reasonable. He had held this position in the headquarters of the Myanmar National Salvation Army. If he and  Compared with that time, now it is just an official reinstatement.

    "Haha, there is one more thing I want to congratulate you on!" Commander Liu Zhang said to Zhang Xian.

    "What's the matter?" Zhang Xian asked.

    "Your application for military rank promotion has finally been approved by the old man. From now on, you will be a lieutenant general!" Commander Liu told Zhang Xian.

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, but he was far from feeling too happy.  In fact, if we count from when he was promoted to major general, it would have been more than ten years, and he would have been promoted to lieutenant general a long time ago; he also knew that the application for his promotion to the military rank had already been filed, but he didn't know why the president kept  It was not approved. Then I thought about it. There are so many generals in the national army, but due to disarmament, the army is getting smaller and smaller. What does the country still have so many generals for?  He once heard his classmate Yu Changle say that in the absence of war, there would be fewer and fewer major generals in the army, and professional soldiers would basically be finished if they reached the rank of colonel.  Needless to say, the military rank of general, whether it is major general or lieutenant general, there are many people applying every year, but there are very few people who can actually be approved, and there are also quotas. Once the quota is full,  Then we have to wait at least another year.  Now that he has finally been promoted to lieutenant general, he thinks that someone must have worked hard for him here. But for him, lieutenant general is just a reputation thing. At most, his salary will be slightly improved, and the rest is just a little bit.  False words are far less practical than his current position as chief of staff.  On the island of Taiwan, there are a lot of major generals and lieutenant generals at random, but there is a huge difference between those with positions and those without positions. A lieutenant general without a position is not as good as a major with a position, because with a position he can  There will be a salary, otherwise, there will be nothing.

    "Haha, brother Mubai, this is a double happiness. When are you going to treat us to a drink?" Commander Liu Zhang asked Zhang Xian jokingly.

    Zhang Xian also laughed and responded casually: "When everyone returns to Taipei for vacation next time, I will definitely invite you!"

    "Don't deny it then?" Liu Zhang said with a smile.

    ? ?It must be destroyed.

    Relatively speaking, the broadcast war between the two sides was still very fierce and effective. They encouraged each other's soldiers to surrender, which became the main content of this propaganda war.  In this regard, the mainland has an inherent advantage.

    Among the defenders of Kinmen, many were captured or forcibly brought here from the coast of Fujian. Mainland radio stations often broadcast the crying calls of their families. Some parents call their sons, and some wives call their husbands. Every time  When these voices appear, every word they say will pierce the heart of every soldier like a needle, making people feel sad.  As Chinese, we all suffer from the pain of leaving home and being separated from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. We have similar experiences. Even if the voice coming from the loudspeaker is not that of our relatives, it is still a torture for many people.

    "Some people really took advantage of the low tide at night to secretly swim across the strait and throw themselves into the mainland. This kind of thing has been forbidden for a long time, which gave the officers of the Kinmen Command a headache.

    The radio station in Kinmen is affiliated to the Political Warfare Corps of the General Political Department. They are also responsible for the political and ideological work of all troops. Zhang Xian used to be the captain of the Political Warfare Brigade of the Political Department, so he can also be regarded as a political worker.  Although he was the chief of staff at this time and was no longer responsible for political war work, Lin Sheng, the director of the Cultural Propaganda and Political Education Office in Kinmen Battlefield, still liked to come to Zhang Xian to discuss anything. Sometimes, he ordered  Zhang Xian couldn¡¯t even push it away.

    On this day, Lin Sheng found Zhang Xian again and made him a suggestion.

    "Come on, I'd like to find someone from you to come to our radio station and preach to the other side." Lin Sheng said to Zhang Xian.

    "Oh?" This time, Zhang Xian immediately became interested and asked quickly: "Old Lin, who are you looking for?"

    Lin Sheng said: "It's Chen Fei from the 51st Regiment."

    "He?" Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment and asked with some confusion: "Why? Why are you looking for him?"

    Lin Sheng smiled and said: "In the past few days, the report of his promotion to major came to me and asked me to sign it. I checked his resume specially. Haha, it turns out that he was once a soldier of the Communist Army, but in  He was captured by us during the Kinmen Defense War. He was just a captured soldier, but after joining the national army, he performed very well, so he is now a captain and deputy battalion commander." When he said this, he looked  Zhang Xian took a look and saw that Zhang Xian's face was expressionless, and then continued: "Haha, I think he is just a typical example. If we can let him use his personal experience to publicize to the other side, maybe we can also inspire a few people."  A communist soldier has surrendered!"

    After hearing what he said, Zhang Xian was stunned.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
