Bai Chongbei immediately arranged for the adjutant to go to the communications office to take a telegram.

Li Pinxian said again: "Mr. Jian, can I ask first, which war zones will the troops be transferred from this upcoming Dabie Mountains war zone? Also, which troops will there be?"

Bai Chong pointed at Li Pinxian sadly: "I knew you would ask this."

Li Pinxian smiled and said, "Nothing is better than that of Jian Gong."

"Come on, come too." Bai Chong gave Li Pinxian a sad look and said, "Tell me the truth. The troops in the Dabie Mountains War Zone will be drawn from various war zones across the country. Which troops will be drawn from which war zone will be drawn. However, one thing can be determined, that is, the ones who are drawn must be the elites of each war zone!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of redness suddenly surged on Li Pinxian's face.

Because Bai Chongbei also serves as the deputy chief of staff of the Military Commission and also acts as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, the Dabie Mountains War Zone that is about to be established is actually presided over by him as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 9th War Zone, which is the same as Xue Yue, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 9th War Zone and the commander-in-chief of the First Corps, presided over the work of the Ninth War Zone.

Thinking that he was about to command more than 500,000 elite troops, Li Pinxian couldn't help but feel excited.

But the next moment, Li Pinxian felt it was unlikely and asked: "Mr. Jian, can the chief officials of each war zone agree?"

"If you don't agree, you have to agree! If it weren't for the elite troops, you could take on the heavy responsibility of launching a counterattack and restoring Nanjing?" Bai Chong snorted and continued, "And, you don't have to worry about this matter. Naturally, Principal Chang will come forward to solve it. After all, Principal Chang is even more anxious than us. He wants to return to Nanjing more than anyone else!"

"Then." Li Pinxian scratched his head and asked again, "Would the Wuhan Garrison Command be retained or removed? If it is removed, what will the troops arrange for it?"

"This matter is probably being discussed in Chongqing." Bai Chong smiled grimly and said, "In my opinion, there will be a series of looting. The nine brigades and divisions in the Wuhan Garrison District are all truly elite! However, in the end, it is likely to be included in the soon-to-be-established Dabie Mountains War Zone!"

...

Chongqing, a small conference room of the command center.

The afternoon meeting was a bit long, and there was a big argument about the candidates for the two other deputy commanders and chief commanders of the Dabie Mountains War Zone.

Therefore, both President Chang and the senior generals attending the meeting were a little tired.

However, after dinner, Principal Chang and senior generals immediately resurrected with full blood and became energetic again.

Tonight's meeting discusses the issue of whether the Wuhan Garrison District is abolished or not. If it is abolished, what should be done with another division of the 9th Brigade of the Wuhan Garrison District?

Also, there were two more senior generals attending the meeting.

One is Yu Jishi, commander-in-chief of the 36th Army, and the other is Hu Zongnan, commander-in-chief of the 17th Army.

After everyone was filled with seats, Principal Chang said: "Now the first question is to discuss, will the Wuhan Garrison District be abolished?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shi immediately said: "I think I should be abolished! Because after the establishment of the Dabie Mountains War Zone, Wuhan was under the protection of the fifth, ninth and Dabie Mountains War Zones, and the Japanese army was defeated and was unable to attack in full swing. Therefore, the security of Wuhan has been guaranteed, and there is no need to continue to retain the system of the garrison and restore the system of the garrison headquarters."

"I completely agree with President Chen's opinion!"

"I agree too!"

"I have no objection!"

Chen Shi's opinion was unanimously agreed by the senior generals attending the meeting.

President Chang expressed his satisfaction with this because it was his instruction.

After the conference room was quiet again, Principal Chang continued, "So now, let's discuss how to arrange another division of the 9th Brigade in the Wuhan Garrison District?"

As soon as he heard this, the senior generals present immediately cheered up.

Especially Chen Shi, he was even more ready to pull a few brigades into his civil engineering system!

There are not troops in the Civil Engineering Department that can fight wars, but there are few elite troops like the 367th Brigade and the New 38th Division that can fight tough battles and bad battles!

Hu Zongnan and Yu Jishi also had their eyes lit up.

In fact, the fact that President Chang asked Hu and Yu to attend this meeting already showed his attitude. He tended to unite these elite troops in the Wuhan Garrison District with the First Army and the Seventy-fourth Army! In this way, Chen Shitu Comic Group would not be the only one!

After pausing for a moment, Principal Chang said again: "Wuhan Garrison District was demoted to Wuhan Security District. Zhou Erzi's police corps will be reorganized into Wuhan Security Division and will continue to stay in the three towns of Wuhan!"

The senior generals present had no comment on this.

Although Zhou Erzi did not perform much in the defense battle in Wuhan, there was no problem giving him a consolation prize and a security commander! No one would be unable to get along with Zhou Erzi because of this!

"Okay!" Principal Chang said again, "Now we discuss the arrangements of the five security brigades of Chen Jing'an, Liu Futing, Pan Zihe, Zhou Mengxiong and Zhang Buwu. Please speak freely!"

He Yingpei said: "Principal, the Battle of Hanyang has fully proved that these five security brigades are all troops that can fight. More than 90% of the casualties in the entire brigade can still fight. I don't know how many troops are confident that they can do it? Such troops are simply rare treasures, and such commanders must also be used!"

After pausing, He Yingpei said again: "Weizhi suggested that these five security brigades, the guard brigade, the special brigade and the 367th Brigade be expanded into divisions. As for the troops number, in order to commend these troops' meritorious achievements in the Battle of Wuhan and to set up a role model for the entire army, how about it? "

Principal Chang's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a good idea.

The National Revolutionary Army now has 200 divisions. Although many of them have become shell divisions, it is not bad to use them for the troops of the Wuhan Garrison District. It is also possible to use the numbers of new divisions, temporary divisions or independent divisions, but it seems that it is not as good as using the numbers of honorary divisions.

At that moment, Principal Chang made a decision: "I think it's okay. Except for Sun Liren's new 38th Division and Zhou Erzi's police corps, the other eight brigades will be reorganized into honorary divisions, with numbers as Honorary Division 1 and Honorary Division 2 and up to Honorary Division 8! As for the commanders of these eight honorary divisions, they will be promoted from brigade commanders!"

"The principal is wise." He Yingpei praised.

Xu Yongsheng and Chen Diaoyuan on the other side were very envious.

In this way, He Yingpei became the benefactor of these five honorary teachers!

Hu Zongnan and Yu Jishi watched coldly, but did not speak up easily, because they valued reality. He Yingpei, such a small favor, would have to give charity.
Chapter completed!
