The guard work is naturally handed over to Lin Yuanping, he was the battalion commander of the guard regiment in the 20th Division, and this time he will be readjusted, he will naturally be promoted to the head of the guard regiment; There is a supernumerary army at hand, so naturally you can't be blind, completely relying on the information and intelligence of the peak, it is imperative to set up a special service group and a reconnaissance group, the head of the special service group He plans to let Deng Dongping take care of it, and it is more convenient for the chief of staff to take care of these things, and the head of the reconnaissance group naturally has to be handed over to Wu Linsheng, after Lai Wenli died in battle, Sun Yumin's reconnaissance master is the only one who is good at reconnaissance.

Li Tianxi was also appointed as the deputy commander of the new 34th Division and the commander of the First Regiment, Huang Wei was appointed as the commander of the New 342nd Regiment, Wang Youcai was appointed as the deputy of the Second Regiment, plus Dai Cunxiang, the deputy division commander and commander of the Seventh Regiment, the new 34th Division will be the most relied on force by Sun Yumin, and even the 20th Division, which he used to personally serve as the division commander, has to be ranked behind the new 34th, although Sun Yumin is determined to rebuild the 20th Division into a division.

There was also the 139th Division, Shang Zhen probably considered that if the original officers were there, it might affect Sun Yumin's command, so he left only a deputy division commander to bring the troops, and the rest of the division officers were all transferred.

Sun Yumin was already extremely short of military cadres, otherwise he would not have had a whim, and asked a group of staff officers from there to come over to supplement the military headquarters, and now the same situation has occurred in the 139th Division, plus a new 34th Division, the gap between staff officers and military cadres is getting bigger and bigger, he is embarrassed to open his mouth to that side again, and he is not willing to ask for some from others casually, he would rather lack than abuse, and save some people from inserting some people in, then the gains outweigh the losses, he is thinking about promoting some from the grassroots officers, Then part of the division from the 20th and 81st divisions will be able to build up the troop first, and with the skeleton, it will naturally form combat effectiveness.

The 20th Division and the new 34th Division were originally Sun Yumin's starting troops, and as long as arrangements are made, there will not be much of a problem, and the 81st Division's Zhanshutang, which he and he have intersected with, although they have not seen each other for two or three years, it does not hinder their relationship, and in addition, he has been promoted to deputy commander, if nothing else, there should be no problem in commanding and transferring the 81st Division. These three divisions have already arranged suitable candidates for division commanders, but the remaining 139th Division cannot find a suitable candidate for a while, although Shang Zhen left him a deputy division commander, but Sun Yumin does not intend to directly promote him, the reason is very simple, people who have not made military exploits under him are not worthy of sitting in such an important position, as for Wang Heng, the commander of the 417th Regiment, although Sun Yumin admires him more and has the heart to promote him, but he is worried that directly promoting him will make the officers and soldiers of the 422nd and 423rd regiments unconvinced, and think about it, decided to temporarily take over this position first, promoted Wang Heng to deputy division commander, and made the 139th Division the same as the new 34th Division, with two deputy division commanders.

In this way, the structure of the 12th Army is completed: army commander Sun Yumin, deputy army commander Liu Wenzhi (not yet in office), Zhanshutang, chief of staff Deng Dongping; Zhang Xiaohu, commander of the 20th Division; the 81st Division Commander's Exhibition Hall; Li Tiedan, commander of the new 34th Division, Dai Cunxiang and Li Tianxi, deputy division commanders; Sun Yumin, commander of the 139th Division, Shi Zhonghua and Wang Heng, deputy division commanders; There are also Dong Wenbin, commander of the artillery regiment, who is temporarily alone, as well as Lin Yuanping, head of the guard regiment, Wu Linsheng, commander of the reconnaissance regiment, Deng Dongping, head of the special service regiment who is also the chief of staff, Zhou Shanjun, captain of the bayonet detachment, Qian Jin, director of the logistics department, Tang Chunhong, director of the telecommunications office, and Su Ting, director of the medical department.

Because of the expansion of the new 34th Division, the first regiment brought by Sun Yumin and the disabled second regiment, and the uninjured Seventh Regiment provided him with many backbones, especially the previous company commanders, who were promoted one after another, although there was not such a large range as Li Tianxi and Huang Wei, but it was already very fast, after all, Li Tianxi was the main force commander in the 20th Division, and Huang Wei was the most trusted person by him except for Sun Yumin's original descendants, and there was no suspense for the two to serve as the regiment commanders. The former commander of the third company of the first regiment, Xu Changgeng, was sent to the 417th Regiment of the 139th Division as the deputy regiment, Xiao Guixing was arranged to the 422nd Regiment as the deputy regiment, and Hu Hongwei, the commander of the third company of the 2nd regiment, served as the deputy of the 423rd Regiment of the 139th Division. Liu Xiaoshan, the commander of the second company of the second regiment, was promoted to the deputy of the first regiment of the new 34th Division, serving as Li Tianxi's deputy, and Xu Jie, the commander of the fourth company of the second regiment, served as the deputy of the seventh regiment. The nine company commanders of the Seventh Regiment were promoted to three to the division headquarters as staff officers, and three were promoted to battalion commanders, and the other three Sun Yumin planned to be assigned to the 81st Division, and they were also to be promoted, although he had a good relationship with Zhanshutang, but Sun Yumin must not tolerate people without him in a certain unit under his command, Zhanshutang has been in the army for so many years, he will naturally understand this, Sun Yumin also plans to do it, if Zhanshutang does not agree, after the 81st Division arrives at Xiushui, he will personally go to talk to this "old friend".

When Sun Yumin was busy adjusting the personnel structure, the large troops of the 139th Division had already arrived at the designated assembly place Wuning, and in the following days, the recruits who had been ordered by the Ninth Theater to replenish the new 34th Division also came over one after another, but the weapons and equipment Qian Jin and Dai Cunxiang had not yet arrived, so that for nearly 10 days, these recruits could only practice with wooden sticks, which made Sun Yumin cry and laugh. After another ten days, the troops of Zhanshutang also arrived at the designated assembly place to repair the water, and learned that Sun Yumin was in Ruichang, Zhanshutang rushed over with a guard company, and Sun Yumin also gave him enough face and personally greeted him in front of the door.

When old friends met, they naturally had a lot to say, and the two chatted from day to night, if it weren't for Chen Lai's urging several times, so that Zhanshutang was impatient to mistake him for Sun Yumin's little lover, and drove him away, otherwise maybe the two would talk about dawn at night.

Sun Yumin was busy adjusting his troops, so he naturally had no time to take care of the matter of attacking Jiujiang, and Nakai Ryotaro learned from the intelligence that a large number of national troops were gathering around Jiujiang, and where did he dare to come out and make trouble, and led his 106th Division to guard the line from Jiujiang to Nanchang, and did not step out of the gate.

At Sun Yumin's request, some cadres were mobilized from the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army and even from the headquarters, and Sun Yumin attached great importance to these cadres, claiming that they were the people he had left in Biandanshi, and that they had been sent by Liu Wenzhi to support him at his request.

None of this counted, but what surprised him the most was that Tang Chunhong conveyed to him that he wanted him to come over from the deputy director of a political department of the 20th Group Army and serve as the political director of the 12th Army. He also told him that some of the comrades who were hidden within the national army would also find an excuse to transfer to the 12th Army and let him try to accept it.

If it were someone else, he would definitely refuse this unreasonable request, so when Tang Chunhong conveyed this matter to him, he was a little worried that he would turn his face. But Sun Yumin had planned to take the brothers on this path, and he gladly accepted all these demands. But at the same time, he also made a demand, that is, everyone who came from that side must obey his command, and no matter how much trouble was allowed to take place on the mountain, and all activities even to that side had to be done in secret, because after all, the 12th Army had just been newly formed, and it was still counting on supplies from the Chongqing government.

Zhou Shanjun led people to bring almost all the gold and silver treasures from the flat stone, if it wasn't for the fear that the silver yuan would be too bulky and too inconvenient to move, Liu Wenzhi even asked him to bring all the silver yuan. Knowing that Sun Yumin had to use a lot of money, the priceless jade cabbage, as well as the three-legged golden toad, and the Linglong Golden Pagoda were all brought over, which would be Sun Yumin's reliance on to form an armored battalion and an artillery regiment.

With a high-power radio, Bian Danshi will be able to keep in touch in the future, which makes Sun Yumin breathe a sigh of relief, after all, it is the nest that he has been running for two years, and he has a good brother who has been with him for a long time, as well as his own daughter and sister who is not his own.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wenzhi said on the radio that they were all very good, and actually asked Zhou Shanjun to bring them over, when Sun Yumin and Chen Lai saw the little girl and the ninth year, they couldn't believe their eyes, especially Chen Lai hugged the little girl and the ninth day and cried.

Zhou Shanjun also brought two good news, which were all things that Liu Wenzhi did not say, one was that Wang Yanru gave birth to a daughter to Zhou Shanjun, and the other was that Liu Wenzhi and Gu Hongying came together.

This is a great thing, Zhou Shanjun can be regarded as a brother that Sun Yumin values very much, he became a father, Sun Yumin is naturally happy for him from the bottom of his heart; And Liu Wenzhi and Gu Hongying came together, which made Sun Yumin feel a little surprised, after all, Gu Hongying had a disgraceful past, and this disgraceful past is not about her being a bandit leader, but about her chaotic private life when she was a bandit leader, and Gu Hongying is a few years older than Liu Wenzhi. But in the end, the two of them are willing to come together, and as their closest people, they naturally want to give the most sincere blessings.

After sending Xiao Chujiu and his belongings safely, Zhou Shanjun euphemistically submitted his resignation to Sun Yumin the next day, he felt that he owed Wang Yanru a lot of money to his mother and daughter, and now that he is a father, he naturally has to try his best to take care of them. Although Sun Yumin was very reluctant, he still didn't keep it, because he was also a father and knew the responsibilities he had to bear. Fortunately, Ganglenzi studied with him every day during this time, plus he himself is also a person who practices martial arts, although he is not as good as Zhou Shanjun, but he can finally take on this responsibility, plus when he came back this time, he brought back the bayonet detachment that had been scattered, Chen Tiesheng and Chen Tieyang did not meet Dai Cunxiang and them, and after waiting for some time at the agreed place, they returned to Biandanshi, and it didn't take long for Zhou Shanjun to come back, and naturally brought them back.

Originally, he also planned to let Zhou Shanjun take the bayonet squad to accompany Qian into Shanghai, but the German Mark once gave a contact information, Sun Yumin wanted to form an armored battalion and a heavy artillery regiment, which was undoubtedly the best way that could be thought of at present. But Zhou Shanjun is going to leave now, and this matter can only fall on Ganglenzi, but how can Sun Yumin rest assured, so he has to decide to run by himself. Unexpectedly, as soon as they talked to Zhanshutang, Deng Dongping, Zhang Xiaohu, and Silly Bear, they were collectively opposed, and finally decided that Deng Dongping and Qian would go on this trip, and everyone in the Ganglenzi bayonet detachment would protect them.

Time passed quickly, and by the time the deputy director of the Political Department of the 20th Army and those who had applied for transfer were to come, the time had already come to the end of December. The adjustment work has been completed, and the four divisions of the Twelfth Army, which were originally scattered in the sand, immediately glowed with combat effectiveness, and tried to attack the Wuxue with a small knife, but did not expect the devil to flee when he heard the wind, and he did not dare to contact it head-on, which was probably because Sun Yumin's newspapers were frequent during this time, and Nakai Ryotaro learned that his opponent was the "God of War" of the national army that made madmen like Dohihara fear, and the defense line shrank a lot, and the center of gravity shifted to Jiujiang, as well as the line from Jiujiang to Nanchang, Only then did Sun Yumin capture Wuxue with almost no effort, and finally approached the Yangtze River waterway, ready to receive the purchased materials.

The winter offensive launched by Lao Chiang also entered the final stage, and the whole army, which had high hopes, attacked, except for Sun Yumin, who annihilated the 101st Division, there were no other achievements.

In the winter offensive, Chiang transferred a total of about 71 divisions and launched an all-out attack on the Japanese army, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the Japanese army. In summarizing the campaign, the Japanese army also held that the scale of the winter offensive and the will of the Nationalist army to fight "far exceeded our expectations, especially the counteroffensive in the third, fifth, and ninth theaters was extremely fierce." ”

In the offensive plan drawn up by Lao Chiang and the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, only the Ninth Theater "attacked the enemy head-on in the northern section of Guangdong and Han, focusing on the areas around Puqi and Xianning, and advanced towards Wuchang; At the same time, they attacked the Nanchang and Nanxun railways, and attacked the enemies of Ruichang and Jiujiang. "The set goal was achieved. Chen Cheng's headquarters in the 9th Theater had conquered Chongyang, Jing'an and other places, and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy in front of him, the 11th Army of the Japanese Army. The commander of the Japanese 11th Army, Okamura Ninji, recalled that the army fought "very hard" during the winter offensive, and that the 6th Division, which was guarding Chongyang and Tongcheng, was subjected to "stubborn, frequent and repeated attacks" by the Kuomintang troops from beginning to end. ”

In this winter offensive, which lasted more than three months, the Kuomintang troops directly participated in the battle with more than 550,000 troops, attacked 1,050 times, fought 1,340 battles against the enemy, and annihilated more than 20,000 Japanese puppet military police, including one Japanese lieutenant general, one major general, and two Dazuo, captured more than 400 enemy personnel, sank or damaged nine enemy transport ships, and captured more than 20 artillery pieces of various kinds and more than 27,000 rifles. Among them, the credit of Sun Yumin's ministry has almost become the credit of the entire offensive.

In the year of 1939, Chen Cheng's Ninth Theater not only won the first Battle of Changsha, but also made a big splash in the winter offensive, and Sun Yumin was regarded as another important force in the civil engineering department, not only made Li Zongren, Yan Xishan and other local warlords envious, but even Wang Yaowu, Hu Zongnan, Yu Jishi and other old Jiang Yan were also greatly admired.
