Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Chapter 130: Share the Benefits

Captain Wang had an indescribable smile on his face. He looked at Zhang Wenwu with a vague look and didn't say anything. When Zhang Wenwu saw this, he had to say what he had guessed: "Captain Wang, do you think this will work? You have successfully handed over the troops to the Central Army. The troops have arranged a new position for you according to the needs, but you suddenly fell ill and had to reluctantly withdraw from the army and return to your hometown. In order to thank you for your achievements, the army has specially approved five hundred oceans for you to return home for treatment and recuperation." After saying this, Zhang Wenwu stared at Captain Wang.

He felt that Captain Wang mentioned his relative just now because of his relative who worked at the military station. When he led the team to report, he would find a reason to let Captain Wang return home safely without having to fight on the battlefield. Therefore, Captain Wang was hesitant after he said so much just now. This grandson never thought about going to the battlefield.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Wenwu's words, the smile on Captain Wang's face became even stronger. He said to Zhang Wenwu, "Oh, Deputy Director Zhang has noticed that I have a stubborn disease. Deputy Director Zhang has a good eye. I have consulted many doctors but none of them could cure my stubborn disease. I have also spent a lot of my family's savings. I also wanted to lead the team to fight the Japanese desperately, but what a pity, what a pity..."

Zhang Wenwu cursed Captain Wang in his heart for being a shameless guy, but he smiled and said, "Captain Wang is a good soldier who is dedicated to serving the country. The salary is indeed not high, and you have to support your family. I think the army should give more treatment expenses, so that Captain Wang's chronic illness can be cured earlier. Brother, I think 520 dollars should be enough for Captain Wang to treat his chronic illness. Captain Wang, what do you think?"

Zhang Wenwu knew that Captain Wang wanted more money. In order to successfully obtain the troops, he gritted his teeth and raised the price by twenty dollars. If Captain Wang still did not agree, he would not raise the price any further. You can go wherever you want then.

Captain Wang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, took out the registration form for the military station from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Wenwu, then said: "Deputy Director Zhang, I think what you said makes sense. The brothers in my regiment will trouble Deputy Director Zhang in the future."

Zhang Wenwu was relieved when he heard that Captain Wang agreed. After receiving the registration form, he asked Captain Wang to bring the team over. After Captain Wang walked away, Zhang Wenwu waved and called a soldier over and said, "Go to our army's battle supervision line and find a captain named Li Shangping. Tell him that I have something to talk to him about."

Li Shangping had just finished his shift and was about to look for Zhang Wenwu to see where he got so many additional soldiers from. Before he finished talking to the officer who was handing over the shift, a soldier ran up to him and told him that Zhang Wenwu wanted to see him, which made him even more puzzled.

When Li Shangping followed the soldier to Zhang Wenwu's temporary recruitment camp, he saw hundreds of security corps officers and soldiers sitting on the roadside chatting and resting. This shocked Li Shangping. Could it be that Zhang Wenwu had obtained another source of reinforcements for the security corps?

"Wenwu, what do you want to talk to me about? What's the situation with your security team outside?" Li Shangping walked into the tent where Zhang Wenwu was, and before Zhang Wenwu could speak, he started asking.

"Li Shangping, you are here. These are brothers from the 5th Security Regiment of Jiangxi Province. I recruited them here with both reason and emotion. I called you here because I want you to help take them to the military headquarters and hand them over to Commander Luo. I know that each unit of the 18th Army is fighting very hard now and they are in urgent need of reinforcements. Now that I have recruited these people, I am thinking of sending them to the military headquarters immediately. What do you think, brother, I am very kind." Zhang Wenwu explained to Li Shangping with a smile on his face.

After listening to Zhang Wenwu's words, Li Shangping couldn't help but curl his lips. Zhang Wenwu was talking nonsense. If this was really as he said, the first batch of security teams should have been sent to the military headquarters. But you only sent it to the military headquarters after the third batch. You, Zhang Wenwu, really lie without blushing.

However, what Zhang Wenwu said about the various units of the 18th Army being short of manpower was true, so he asked curiously, "Wenwu, how did you recruit so many people?" He was really curious.

Zhang Wenwu pulled Li Shangping closer and whispered to him about his kidnapping method, which frightened Li Shangping. If Zhang Wenwu did this, he could be brought to a military court, and he might even be shot. Of course, if he did it lightly, nothing would happen. It all depends on whether you have a background. Obviously, Zhang Wenwu has a lot of background.

He now understood why Zhang Wenwu was so kind to send a security regiment to the military. He was obviously letting the people on the 18th Army take advantage of him. Would Commander Luo not open up new areas for him? Would Deputy Commander Chen not speak for him? How smart! Zhang Wenwu was so good at handling things.

"Okay, Wenwu, I will bring this security team back to the military headquarters and hand it over to Commander Luo. You should also take care of it. If there is anything, just call the military headquarters. After all, you are benefiting our 18th Army. Commander Luo will definitely take care of you." Li Shangping also knew that Zhang Wenwu had no choice. Besides, as long as the 18th Army could benefit, the matter would naturally be resolved by the bigwigs above, and Zhang Wenwu would definitely be fine.

"Li Shangping, don't forget to issue a sickness retirement notice to Captain Wang when you go back. I promised him." Zhang Wenwu did not forget what he promised Captain Wang, and he also reminded Li Shangping specifically.

When Li Shangping heard that it was something Zhang Wenwu had agreed to, he nodded. This was not a difficult matter to handle. He knew that this must be one of the deals made between Zhang Wenwu and Captain Wang.

Li Shangping stayed in the recruiting camp for thirty minutes and then left, taking the Gan Province security team with him. He needed to go back quickly to report the good news to Commander Luo.

Chief of Staff Zhao Dong is now adding the newly arrived security regiment officers and soldiers to the 656th Regiment in batches according to the idea of ​​Division Commander Huang Jinxian. Guo Ruixin was also a little happy when he saw the security regiment officers and soldiers in front of him. He did not expect that in such a short time, his 656th Regiment would be fully replenished. The battalion, company and platoon leaders at all levels have also been arranged. In addition to promoting some of the remaining veterans, a group of original staff officers were dispatched from the 210th Brigade and the division headquarters to take up the posts. This has filled up the officers and cadres of the 656th Regiment. Now he has a certain strength to fight the Japanese and avenge his fallen brothers.

Captain Xu of the 657th Regiment was smoking happily. His troops were also allocated security guards. Now he was watching Chief of Staff Zhao Dong for specific allocations. He arrived late and was not clear about the specific situation, so he whispered to Guo Ruixin, "Captain Guo, are these so many good soldiers allocated to our division by the army?"

He actually didn't quite believe that these were the troops allocated by the military, but he couldn't figure out where so many people came from if they were not allocated by the military. They couldn't have fallen from the sky.

"I heard from the division commander and the chief of staff that it was Deputy Director Zhang of the Quartermaster Department who recruited them from outside." Guo Ruixin only knew that it was Zhang Wenwu who got these additional troops, but he had no idea how he got them.

When Commander Xu heard that it was Zhang Wenwu who brought in so many soldiers, he immediately exclaimed: "Deputy Director Zhang is truly an amazing person."

In the headquarters of the 18th Army, Commander Luo listened to Li Shangping's report with a stunned look on his face. He did not expect that Zhang Wenwu was so powerful and actually gave him such a big surprise. It was a great job. He was also worried about the reinforcements. That ghost place Luodian Town had swallowed up two regiments of the 11th Division. Although the 11th Division was a large unit with three brigades and six regiments, it could not withstand such rapid consumption. At this rate, the 11th Division would be in name only in a few days. By then, how could he defend the strategic location of Luodian Town?

"Okay, Wenwu did a great job. Tell him to persuade more security teams to come here as soon as possible. Also, tell him to be low-key and not to be too ostentatious." Commander Luo happily affirmed Zhang Wenwu's behavior this time. At the same time, he was also telling Zhang Wenwu to do it boldly and get more benefits for the 18th Army.

Li Shangping had expected such a result, and he was not surprised at all. Even if someone reported this matter to the war zone, Deputy Chief Chen would speak for the 18th Army. Moreover, this matter made Deputy Chief Chen very happy, so how could he punish Zhang Wenwu? Besides, the members of the security group were already in his own army, so it was impossible to return them. Not only was Zhang Wenwu not at fault, but he would also be rewarded for his merits. Maybe his rank would be promoted to a school-level officer.

Zhang Wenwu really doesn't care whether he gets promoted or not. He just wants to do more for the troops at the front. As long as they can hold the defense line, he will do anything.

In the evening, Li Shangping came to Zhang Wenwu again and told him everything that Commander Luo wanted him to say. He also brought Commander Wang's sick leave form. After smoking a few cigarettes with Zhang Wenwu, he returned to the supervision line to be on duty.

Zhang Wenwu took the recuperation form and 520 yuan in a cloth bag to Captain Wang who was resting in the tent. After handing the things to Captain Wang, Zhang Wenwu rolled his eyes, handed Captain Wang a cigarette, and said, "Captain Wang, I have done what I promised you, you can go home and recuperate now."

After receiving the rest form and the silver dollars, Captain Wang smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "Deputy Director Zhang is very generous. I wish you more victories and a prosperous career. I'll take my leave now, brother."

"Captain Wang, don't be anxious. You said before that you have a relative at the military station, right?" Zhang Wenwu grabbed Captain Wang who was about to leave and asked with a smile.

Captain Wang nodded with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Yes, brother, my cousin is in the Nanxiang military station. I wonder what Deputy Director Zhang means..." He really didn't understand why Zhang Wenwu started talking about the military station.

Zhang Wenwu smiled even brighter when he heard this and said to Captain Wang, "Captain Wang, if it's convenient, could you introduce your cousin to me? I will definitely give him a generous gift when the time comes."
