The adjustment of the Eighth Division went very smoothly, mainly because Fang Zida had already made arrangements, with the help of Zhao Hengti, and the decisive killing of Lin Hu, and the use of the meeting to detain all the middle and upper-level officers of the Eighth Division in disguise.

It took three days for the entire adjustment to be in place.

Of course, it was not all smooth sailing during this period. Although Lin Hu's death was publicized as being assassinated by Zhu Zhuowen, there were still many close friends of Lin Hu in the *** group. These people knew Lin Hu and Li Liejun, Chen Qimei, and Zhu Zhu very well.

Given the relationship between Zhuo Wen and others, no one would believe this bizarre statement. It is possible that Zhu Zhuowen wanted to kill other people, but he would definitely not attack Lin Hu. Coupled with the sudden adjustment, it was clear that there was a conspiracy.

However, before these people could make trouble, the military police sent by Fang Zida immediately controlled them all. After "investigation" and "legal interrogation", it was found that these people were all members involved in the assassination conspiracy, and they were charged with this crime.

These people were detained and shot at the headquarters of the ** regiment. Their bloody corpses were scattered on the playground, which made all the ordinary soldiers of the ** regiment feel shuddering. No one dared to disobey the orders issued by the division headquarters anymore.

The veteran gangsters who wanted to sneak back to their hometown in Guangdong also gave up the idea and honestly followed the orders to report to the new army.

In addition to the ** regiment, there are more or less junior officers in the other regiments who are dissatisfied with the adjustment. Some of them have been in contact with Zhu Zhuowen, but they are still hesitant and wait-and-see for the time being. Fang Zida is not too polite to these junior officers.

Of course, he did not deal with all of them ruthlessly. He only followed military laws and regulations, and the gendarmerie reviewed them and then punished them according to severity. The most serious thing was just dismissal and imprisonment. With the thunderous tactics of several parties, the entire Eighth Division

The overall change has been drastic, meeting Fang Zida’s initial requirements.

Three days later, it can be said that the military power of the Eighth Division has been in the hands of Fang Zida and Zhao Hengti. However, due to the sudden adjustment, the overall combat effectiveness of the Eighth Division declined and panic among ordinary soldiers was inevitable. In this regard, Fang Zida again

Another hand is used, that is the temptation of money.

The 8th Division is known as the strongest army of KMT, but the military pay of the 8th Division has always been insufficient. Sun Wen was always a guy who could only spend money but not make money, and since the death of Huang Xing, the founder of the 8th Division,

The Eighth Division has become a child without parents, and its funds can only be maintained by relying on local support. To put it bluntly, the Eighth Division is almost unable to solve the problem for military pay. After Fang Zida completed the adjustment, he became the Eighth Division.

In the name of the division headquarters, he issued an order to all officers and soldiers to make up for the arrears of military pay, and personally gathered all the officers and soldiers of the 8th Division for review. On the review stand, Fang Zida waved his hand, and dozens of soldiers struggled to carry more than a dozen large baskets.

Open the red cloth covering it, revealing the eagle ocean filled inside.

He walked over and flipped over one of the baskets with a kick. Amidst the clattering noise, he saw countless shining silver eagles falling on the reviewing stand. Fang Zida then announced loudly that all the money was used to replenish everyone's previous supplies.

The military pay owed, and starting from today, if the Eighth Division's military pay is not in arrears, it will be paid in full.

In addition, Fang Zida also publicly announced that eight new regulations would be implemented for the Eighth Division: open expenditures, integration of officers and soldiers, stricter rewards and punishments, and standardized training... These measures aroused the excitement of the officers and soldiers of the entire division. For a moment, Lin Hu

, what about Zhu Zhuowen, what about the adjustments of the regiments... were all forgotten. In the hearts of ordinary soldiers, it is natural for them to eat food as a soldier. No matter how nice it is to get paid without food, who will support you and work hard for your life?

With one martial art, one ruthless stroke, and one caress, Fang Zida played these two tricks beautifully and won the hearts of the Eighth Division in the blink of an eye. These two moves made several regiment leaders dumbfounded. Although they didn't say it with their mouths, they felt in their hearts.

Fear and fear but also a hint of admiration.

However, even if they wanted to use this method, they couldn't use it at all. Not to mention the brigade commanders, regimental commanders, and even the division commander Zhao Hengti couldn't use it. Fang Zida's advantage was not only the rights and righteousness given to him by Song Jiaoren and the central government, but also

It is not possible for ordinary people to come up with so much money. To be honest, this money is hard-won. Part of it is Song Jiaoren's special allocation approved by the Ministry of War, and the other part is actually Fang Zida's personal pocket. He knows very well,

To seize a team, it is not enough to rely solely on the loyalty of the brigade commander and regimental commander, not to mention whether their loyalty is sincere and sincere. Soldiers without faith are unreliable and have no combat effectiveness.

, but it would take too long to slowly transform the minds of these soldiers and make them truly support themselves. There is no way. In order to make the soldiers return to their hearts in the shortest possible time and give them the motivation to cheer up, money is the sugar-coated bullet.

It is the oldest but also the most effective method.

As expected, when these eagle oceans were distributed to the soldiers piece by piece, each soldier glowed with a different look. From their cheerful eyes, it could be seen that the vast majority of the soldiers recognized their deputy.

Division Commander, and minimized the impact of the death of Lin Hu and others on the Eighth Division.

After doing these things, Fang Zida did not relax his usual training of the Eighth Division. After asking some key officers for their opinions, he asked someone to compile a strict training outline and personally trained the entire reorganized Eighth Division.

Special training was carried out. Although the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Division was not as good as before, the foundation was still there after all, and the entire training went smoothly. Half a month later, the reorganized Eighth Division gradually regained its vitality under Fang Zida's training, at least on the surface.

It looks like it is already about 70% as strong as when it was first built.

"You should know the importance of Jingfu, Tianyi, artillery regiments and cavalry regiments best, especially Jingfu. You studied artillery subjects in the military academy. I hope your artillery regiment can complete all training projects in these few days.

, can it be done?" In the division office, Fang Zida was busy reviewing the documents. While writing, he addressed Liu Zhi, the new deputy commander of the 8th Artillery Regiment, who was standing in front of him, and Xiong Shihui, deputy commander of the 8th Cavalry Regiment, said.

.

"Deputy Commander Fang, our artillery and cavalry are both technical arms. They are no better than the training of ordinary soldiers. The time of a few days is really too tight." Liu Zhi said with a bitter face. These days, he and Xiong Shihui were called out by Fang Zida every three days.

They came to ask about the training progress, which made their heads go crazy. For general army training, artillery and cavalry training are completely different. As long as ordinary soldiers put in a little sweat and work harder, they can always barely meet the requirements, but artillery and cavalry are typical skills.

The arms, especially the artillery, have very high requirements on the cultural quality and computing power of soldiers. In addition, the original 8th Artillery Regiment of the 8th Division was nominally a regiment, but in fact it was only an artillery battalion and a half, and the cannons on hand were a mess.

There are all, and the quality of the personnel is also uneven. The former artillery regiment commander Li Shimao was an amateur. He did not start training properly after taking office. Some of the cannons were even damaged due to lack of maintenance. It was necessary to train an artillery in such a short time.

It is really difficult to form a qualified artillery unit.

As for the situation faced by the cavalry regiment, it is similar to that of the artillery regiment. Xiong Shihui is one of the top two these days. There are really too few qualified cavalry in the cavalry regiment because of the lack of original military expenditures and the regiment leader Liu Jianfan's deduction of military pay.

It was such a commotion that even the army horses in the regiment couldn't get enough to eat, and each of them was so skinny that they almost looked like bigger donkeys.

"I'll give you whatever you need. By the way, there are still some cannons in the armory. Take them out and re-integrate them according to caliber and type. Try to make the standards consistent, and first organize and train a qualified artillery battalion.

As for the cavalry, you can also do it this way. First, select qualified military horses to form two cavalry companies. You don’t have to worry about anything else. Just train these two companies first and then talk about it." The difficulties faced by Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui were not unreasonable.

I know, but there is no time at hand for them to take their time. Stopping the pen in his hand, Fang Zida thought about it carefully and made a suggestion.

Hearing this, they looked at each other, and Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although this request was not low, it was at least more than the original request. Seeing them agree, Fang Zida smiled and said,

He greeted them pleasantly to sit down, asked some questions about their new jobs, and also cared about their health, etc. They chatted for a long time until Zhang Huchen knocked on the door and came in, and then Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui were allowed to leave.

"Telegram from the War Department in Beijing!"

"Oh..." After receiving the telegram from Zhang Huchen, Fang Zida only glanced at it and then stood up with a stern expression. He quickly read several lines at a glance. His brows were furrowed and he couldn't help but walk a few steps in the room.

"Pass my order!" He turned to Zhang Huchen and said, "Have Brigadier Wang and Brigadier Huang come to the division headquarters immediately, and also ask Commander Zhao to come over."

On the other side of the 8th Division headquarters is the office of division commander Zhao Hengti. Since Fang Zida arrived, Zhao Hengti has been extremely cooperative. It is precisely with his full cooperation as the division commander that Fang Zida was able to get rid of him in such a short time.

Lin Hu took control of the 8th Division. In the eyes of outsiders, he, the division commander Zhao Hengti, was nominally Fang Zida's boss, but in fact he had become Fang Zida's puppet. No matter what orders Fang Zida gave, Zhao Hengti would execute them to the letter.

, especially during these days of training after reorganization, Zhao Hengti has shown an unusually cooperative attitude.

Zhao Hengti's behavior made the middle and upper-level officers of the 8th Division who already looked down on him not to take him seriously. In their eyes, it would be a matter of time for Zhao Hengti to leave. In the future, the person who can really make the decision in the 8th Division will definitely be

This new ruthless man Fang Zida. Because of this, after the adjustment, the two brigade commanders and several regiment commanders all rushed to Fang Zida's side, and no one considered Zhao Hengti, the clay Bodhisattva, as a dish anymore.

"Commander, you are the commander of the Eighth Division! If it weren't for you, how could the Eighth Division be in today's situation? Deputy Commander Fang must have gone too far these days..." As Zhao Hengti's confidant, the adjutant complained a little.

As he said that, except for Tao Deyao, the brigade commanders who had recently reported to the division headquarters went directly to Fang Zida and did not even visit Zhao Hengti. Instead of being angry, Zhao Hengti smiled as if it was natural.

After meeting Tao Deyao, he even blamed him for not coming to him directly and reporting to Deputy Commander Fang first according to the procedures.

After going back and forth, the adjutant couldn't bear to look at Zhao Hengti's calm and calm appearance. Seeing the deserted division commander's office, the adjutant finally couldn't hold it in anymore and couldn't help but say a few words from his heart.

"What nonsense! They are all for revolutionary work, there is no difference between us!" Hearing this, Zhao Hengti's face suddenly darkened, he scolded him a few words unhappily, and then said: "Everyone appreciates Deputy Commander Fang's ability.

In my eyes, I, Mr. Zhao, have been sitting in the position of division commander for so long, far less than what Deputy Commander Fang has accomplished in the past half a month. As a member of the 8th Division, seeing our 8th Division rejuvenate, I

I’m really happy! In such a good situation, how can you say such nonsense? Huh! If you hadn’t followed me for many years, I would have sent you to the gendarmerie!”

"This... Commander... I... I..." The adjutant did not expect that his grumbling flattery would actually hit the horse's feet. He was so panicked that his forehead was sweating, and he could not even speak properly.

"Okay, okay, remember! This won't happen again!" Seeing how frightened he was, Zhao Hengti waved his hand, and the adjutant breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the beads of sweat.

No longer paying attention to the adjutant, he stood up and read the book with interest. He walked slowly in the room and shook his head while reading. Zhao Hengti now seemed less like a soldier and more like a man who wanted to enter.

A scholar who was rushing to take the exam in Beijing. It was not until the adjutant made tea for him and left in panic that Zhao Hengti's eyes moved from the book to the closed door, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.
