Chapter 1512: Reorganize the Three Armies

After parting with the three great men, Guo Zhuocheng sent a telegram ordering Wang Guangdao to lead the second division of the column directly under him to enter Guiyang, plus the original logistics brigade led by Peng Zhufeng and the Red 34th Division led by Chen Shuxiang to become the defensive force of Guiyangcheng, which was unified under the direct command of General Zhu.

The reason why he handed over the command to Mr. Zhu was that Guo Zhuocheng himself had to do it and had to lead the army, because he didn't want to be regarded as self-respecting by himself. Besides, Mr. Zhu himself doesn't like to engage in political and ideological matters, and he is more willing to let him command the troops.

The meeting was held the next evening, at which the main leaders did not explicitly oppose the Soviet Union, but only stressed that the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army must be self-reliant, that Chinese make their own decisions about their own affairs, and that the Chinese revolution should be integrated with China's reality......

Because of the euphemistic slogan and the high prestige of Mao Rundong, the Red officers and men who had escaped from the pursuit of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army remained silent and supportive, and although the meeting was not very harmonious, it did not arouse any opposition.

According to the arrangements of the Central Committee, the headquarters of the Red Army would simply cut off communication with the Soviet side, no longer receive telegrams from the other side, and would not report the situation to the other side.

In other words, the Central Committee - the Red Army and the Soviet Union were artificially separated, and since then, the Chinese side has not said whether they are good or bad, and they have not been able to influence the Chinese revolution.

After the meeting, those who did not agree with their superiors were removed from their leadership posts and replaced with those whose thinking had changed, and then the army was reorganized. For these replaced, there is no organizational discrimination, let alone killing and detaining, but they are assigned to some newly established specific units in the local area, such as the police station, the tax bureau, the agricultural bureau, etc., and let them do some specific work, hoping that they will slowly think and transform while working.

After the leaders of the army are pure, the next step is the reorganization of the troops, which are divided into field troops, regular troops, and garrison units. Among them, the field troops formed three armies, namely General Lin's First Army, General Peng's Second Army, and Guo Zhuocheng's Third Army.

According to Guo Zhuocheng's proposal, each corps was tentatively set at 30,000 men, with an establishment of tank divisions, armored infantry divisions, artillery divisions, air defense regiments, and other combat units, in addition to an engineer regiment, a supply regiment, a communications battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, an ordnance battalion, a medical corps, a gendarmerie corps, and other auxiliary arms that would help enhance combat effectiveness.

The focus of the three armies was different, and General Lin's First Army focused on the plains, plateaus, and future northern China, and was mainly equipped with medium and heavy tanks and large-caliber artillery, and its combat targets were mainly the Soviet, German, and American armies in the future.

Peng's Second Army focused on hills, mountains, and the south, and was mainly equipped with medium and light tanks, amphibious tanks, and small and medium-caliber artillery.

Guo Zhuocheng's Third Army focused on the navy, air force, airborne, and special operations. Because of his special situation, his troops covered the land, sea and air. That is, the future air force and navy will also be under his command, until they can read and become an army, and then separated.

These three branches of the armed forces are strategic services and are used in strategic decisive battles with other countries.

In addition, the central authorities also decided to establish a regular army and local garrison units. These included Liu Bocheng's Fourth Army, Chen Yi's Fifth Army, and He Long's Sixth Army, except that Chen Lao Zong and Su Yu's troops were in the Central Soviet Region, and He Lao Zong's troops were in the Hunan-Hubei Border Region.

The next task is to reorganize the troops, change their equipment in an all-round way, and at the same time actively prepare for war.

After Chen Peng's first division took Chongqing, the main force of the central government decided to take Chengdu again, so that the entire Sichuan basin would become a training base and an advance base for the Red Army.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a few days have passed.

Just when the Red Army, the main force of the central government, was busy and everyone was happily changing into weapons, equipment, and military supplies that they had never seen or even thought of, Chen Peng's First Division had already received the news that the tax police corps sent by Jiang Yaoshi had passed the gate and was about to reach Chongqing, so they also began to implement the plan of action that had already been drawn up.

The Central Committee of the Red Army also sent new units to sneak up day and night to Chongqing to take over the defense. This new unit must not only defend the empty city of Chongqing left behind after the departure of the First Division, but also make preparations to seize Chengdu.

The central leadership, Guo Zhuocheng and others all knew that the battle of the 1st Division against the Tax Police Corps would be the largest and last important battle of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army against Jiang Jiaoshi's Central Army in the southwest. Because if Jiang Jiashi loses in this battle, then he will not have more troops to send over to encircle and suppress the Red Army, after all, his troops did not fall from the sky, and it would cost a lot of money and a lot of energy to form.

After this series of defeats, especially the destruction of Xue Yue's corps and the rout of Hu Zong's southern corps, Jiang Jieshi not only did not have many troops in the southwest, but also did not have many surplus troops in Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. And he had to beware not only of the Red Army in the Central Soviet Region starting to counterattack, but also of the devouring of him by warlords such as Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Xueliang, and He Jian. You must know that these warlords devour their companions, they are definitely unblinking, more ferocious than the Red Army.

If the Red Army wants to fight Jiang Jiaoshi, they will definitely give Jiang Jiashi a reason, saying that he is a reactionary or something, and those warlords will not give him a reason at all, that is, they want to seize your power, want you to die, and then rob your troops and your money, it's as simple as that.

Jiang Jiaoshi was a real soldier during this time, and he began to be more and more unable to control these warlords. At present, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army has become the warlord group that Jiang Jieshi is most worried about, not only because the 300,000 Northeast Army is well-equipped, but more importantly, because they occupy the Central Plains, and Zhang Xueliang is also the deputy commander of the national armed forces, occupying the position of righteousness. Now, because Jiang Jieshi has failed on the battlefield one after another, there are already people clamoring for Zhang Xueliang to take the position and let him command the armed forces of the whole country.

Although there are only a small number of people, and Zhang Xueliang was infamous in the 918 Incident and was put on the hat of a fleeing general, it is impossible to really replace him Jiang Jiashi in a short time, but this kind of sign is enough to make Jiang Jiashi alert and make Jiang Jiashi frightened. If you don't have enough troops in your hands, whether it's Zhang-Xueliang or Li Xueliang, maybe there are still Wang Xueliang and Gao Xueliang who are ready to peep into this throne.

It is foreseeable that even if the Tax Police Corps succeeded in recapturing Chongqing this time, Jiang Jieshi would not have the ability to wipe out the Red Army on a large scale, so he could only take a defensive position, grasp Chongqing, Chengdu, and other big cities in his hands, and guard against the Red Army in fear. But once he fails, he Jiang will shrink his forces, or even give up Sichuan completely. At most, let the Sichuan army add a little trouble to the Red Army, while he had to go around rescuing, begging for money everywhere, and raising more funds to revive the Central Army, so that those Central Army troops who were frightened by the loss of troops could recuperate and wait for the opportunity to attack the Red Army again in the future.

It was precisely because the central leaders and the senior generals of the Red Army knew the importance of this battle that not only Guo Zhuocheng, Mao Runtan, and others sneaked day and night to rush to Chongqing, but also General Lin and Peng also rushed to the front line.

Of course, Mr. Lin and Mr. Peng are not here to intervene in command, they are here to witness what Guo Zhuocheng said about infantry and artillery coordination, and to see how much combat effectiveness Guo Zhuocheng's first division has, so that they can have a spectrum in their hearts.

To tell the truth, Guo Zhuocheng asked them to set up the First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army, and what armored infantry divisions, tank divisions, and artillery divisions ,......, all sounded majestic, but they didn't have the slightest impression in their hearts, and they didn't know what the armored infantry division, tank division, and artillery division were like, and how they cooperated during the battle.

In the past, they had only commanded the infantry, and at most they had a few small artillery pieces to bombard them, and these artillery pieces were all cooperative surnames, which could not fundamentally change the combat effectiveness of the troops, and they never looked at their own troops because they had a few more artillery pieces or a few fewer artillery pieces, and they would not think that the Central Army was scum because they had a few more artillery pieces, nor did they think that they were afraid of the Central Army without artillery.

However, Guo Zhuocheng's troops defeated the Central Army with ease, and they had no choice but to change their original concept and had to think that raising their weaponry to a new height was a top priority.

But as the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and now that we have the tax police corps, a very good test item, I heard that they not only have a large number of artillery, but also tanks and trucks to help in the war, which should be somewhat similar to the armored infantry division and tank division that Guo Shucheng said, so go over and take a look.

In addition, the second division, which was directly under the column, also moved, and they went straight east under the command of Wang Guangdao.

Guo Zhuocheng accompanied these two most powerful marshals of the Republic to walk in the mountains and forests.

Along the way, Mr. Lin didn't talk much, but Mr. Peng always asked this and that, but Guo Zhuocheng didn't care whether they asked or not, he talked about the tactics of tanks from time to time, how to carry out tank cluster impact, how to carry out firepower coordination, if the battlefield was blocked, how to carry out rapid assault, and at the same time, from time to time he talked about how to anti-tank and how to beware of tanks......

After talking about tanks and airplanes, they told them that the future planes are far from being the wooden planes of the Gui Army, nor are they the backward planes of the Central Army, and that the planes of the future will not only fly high and fast, but also have extremely ferocious firepower, and can carry out carpet bombing of targets, and aerial bombs will be more powerful than heavier bombs, and incendiary bombs can kill any life of more than 100 square meters......
