Super Anti-war System
Chapter 698: Little Chairman
"Good good!"
Hearing that, Jiang Jieshi was very excited, and even said three good words.
The two talked for a while, and one came in.
His name is Chen Cheng, he is from Qingtian County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, and he is a fellow with Jiang Jieshi.
The relationship between Chen Cheng and Jiang Jieshi is very complicated. They are both fellow villagers and alumni.
He graduated from the Baoding Army Officer School and has great experience in artillery.
The Baoding Army Military Academy is very famous. Military **** Jiang Baili served as the principal. Famous alumni include Jiang Jieshi, Bai Chongxi, Xue Yue, etc.!
In addition, when Jiang Jieshi and others founded the Whampoa Military Academy, Chen Cheng also served as a deputy of education.
Because Chen Cheng came from the artillery department of Baoding Military Academy and was proficient in the use of various artillery, he was later changed to the artillery science instructor and the captain of the artillery squadron.
In fact, apart from fellow villagers and alumni, Chen Cheng is also Jiang Jieshi's son-in-law.
Military and political veteran Tan Yankai used to be the chairman of the government, and there was a daughter named Tan Xiang at his knees.
Because Tan Xiang and Song Meiling have a very good relationship, they are Song Meiling's goddaughter.
Seeing that Chen Cheng's character and ability are very good, Song Meiling introduced Tan Xiang to him.
Chen Cheng's life is simple, and like Jiang Jieshi, he does not smoke or drink.
The most important thing is that Chen Cheng is loyal to Jiang Jieshi, so he is very trusted by Jiang Jieshi.
This level of trust is so deep that no one can compare with Chen Cheng.
In fact, during the 36 years of the Xi'an Incident, Chen Cheng and Jiang Jieshi were detained together.
Every time Chen Cheng and Jiang Jieshi disagree, as long as Jiang Jieshi makes a decision, Chen Cheng always implements it silently.
In addition, Chen Cheng also has an outstanding point, that is, he can give Jiang Jieshi a back.
Because of this, he was even more appreciated by Jiang Jieshi.
Because of the above reasons, Chen Cheng's position in the government and the government army is particularly high.
He was worshipped as a first-level general and was called the minor chairman, second only to Jiang Jieshi.
The little chairman, Jiang Jieshi's stand-in, and the number two person, it is enough to explain everything!
I have to say that Chen Cheng has many positions and they are all very important.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the government moved to Wuhan before moving to Chongqing.
Therefore, Hubei became the gateway to the rear, and Chen Cheng served as the chairman of Hubei Province, the commander of the Wuhan garrison, and the commander of the sixth theater, responsible for the defense of Wuhan.
At the same time, he concurrently served as the head of the General Political Department of the Military Commission, a member of the Aviation Committee, the chairman of the Central Training Committee, and the chief of education of the Central Training Corps.
Later, Chen Cheng also served as Minister of Military Affairs, Commander-in-Chief of Logistics, Chief of Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.
In fact, Chen Cheng's contribution is mainly reflected in the military.
Because of the relationship with Jiang Baili, the **** of China's First Army, Chen Cheng and Jiang Baili agreed.
A full-scale war of resistance broke out, and Wang Jingwei and others expressed their intention to surrender.
However, at this time, Chen Cheng stood up, and while angrily reprimanding Wang Jingwei, he raised his arms and shouted, expressing to be a resolute main combatant!
While resolutely fighting, Chen Cheng put forward similar opinions as the first army **** Jiang Baili.
Chen Cheng stated that China should contain the main force of the Japanese army near Shanghai, so that the enemy should move from east to west, and not allow it to attack China from north to south.
It must be mentioned that after the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, the government forces were divided into three major military groups for various reasons:
Chen Cheng Department, Hu Zongnan Department, Tang Enbo Department.
In fact, the Chen Cheng department also has an alias called the Civil Engineering Department.
The soil split is eleven, and the wood split is eighteen.
Many generals in the civil engineering department were mostly from the 11th Division of the 18th Army, and this was also Chen Cheng's starting unit.
Of course, some generals are not from this unit, but they have a better relationship with Chen Cheng, and they are also classified into the civil engineering department.
Chen Cheng not only does not smoke or drink, but also has strict requirements on his subordinates.
Therefore, in the civil engineering unit, there is no such thing as other units eating empty salaries or deducting salaries from soldiers.
In addition, in these troops, democracy is very important, so their combat effectiveness is very strong, and they have won numerous military exploits in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Speaking of civil engineering achievements, I have to mention one person.
His name was Xue Yue, and he was the general who killed the most devils in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In the battle of Changsha, Xue Yue created his own sky furnace tactics.
With this tactic, he led his troops to kill hundreds of thousands of devils and achieved a major victory in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
For this, Xue Yue has received numerous awards for his meritorious service.
Among them, there are two most important:
Medal of Freedom awarded by President Truman of the United States;
The Blue Sky and White Sun Medal awarded by the government army.
What I have to say is that Xue Yue and Chen Cheng both have the same highest rank, and they are both first-level generals, but Chen Cheng deserves more credit.
In addition to being a senior military officer, Chen Cheng also holds important positions in the government;
Both of them were Baoding Army Military Academy, but Chen Cheng was an instructor at Whampoa Military Academy, which determined that Chen Cheng was more trusted by Jiang Jieshi;
Although Xue Yue has a greater record and is a general, Chen Cheng is even more outstanding in forming the army, training troops, and employing talents. He is a marshal;
In addition to discovering and promoting Xue Yue, Chen Cheng also trained many famous players: Hu Lian, Huang Wei, Zhou Zhirou, Luo Zhuoying...
Lead by example, be loyal to Jiang Jieshi, be honest and have a strong fighting force!
With so many advantages added to Chen Cheng, plus the fact that he is Jiang Jieshi’s direct line or relative, Chen Cheng thinks it’s hard not to be reused.
In fact, in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, in 1943, when he led the Chinese Expeditionary Force and sent troops to Burma, India and other countries to fight against devils, the commander was Chen Cheng.
However, Chen Cheng now has a more important task.
In the presence of Ye Tian, Chen Cheng and Jiang Jieshi did not hide their private affairs, and they spoke about the strategic deployment of the Songhu Battle.
The all-out war of resistance has broken out, and the government has issued a general order to the whole country.
As expected, Jiang Jieshi became the supreme commander, and the whole country was divided into 5 war zones.
Shanghai belongs to the third theater. Feng Yuxiang is the commander-in-chief, Gu Zhu is the deputy commander-in-chief, and Chen Cheng is the former commander-in-chief of the enemy. , So senior officials will be reappointed.
The commander-in-chief is Jiang Jieshi, and the deputy commander-in-chief is Gu Zhutong;
The commander-in-chief of the right-wing army is Zhang Fakui;
The commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army is Zhu Shaoliang;
The commander-in-chief of the left-wing army is Chen Cheng, under the jurisdiction of Xue Yue's 19th Army and Luo Zhuoying's 15th Army.
At that time, the most elite units of the government army, such as the Central Teaching Corps, the 87th Division, the 88th Division, and the Tax Police General Corps, will all be in battle.
What I have to say is that in this battle, Jiang Jieshi took out his biggest hole cards!
In China, there is a special troop with the best combat effectiveness—the Chairman's Special Guard, whose codename is China Military Police!
The members of this guard are all equipped with unique skills, and they are a kind of existence that can be regarded as a hundred on the battlefield.
