Chapter 159: Steps
Chapter 159: Steps
On September 10, 1939, the world pattern suddenly changed, and by the end of November it was clear that the specific situation was clear.
Germany, Italy and Japan formed an alliance.
The Soviet Union, as a tiger, looked at Japan in the east and Germany in the west.
The sun never sets on the empire, while France and the United States continue to wait and see and maintain their colonial interests.
Japan seized the opportunity of the Soviet Union's inability to look eastward, and prepared to fight China to the death.
At the same time, Japan was anxious to solve the Chinese problem in order to free up forces to seize the colonies of the Western powers in Asia and the Pacific in order to cooperate with the German and Italian allies
And the April offensive, which had been decided at the Nanyue Military Conference last year, had also come to fruition.
China's armed forces have reached 3 million.
This is where Lao Jiang dared to mobilize a huge number of troops to give Bai Chongxi the confidence.
300,000 elites, the main force of the Central Army and the Gui Army, facing the Japanese army of two divisions, Bai Chongxi's purpose was to drive the Fifth Division, known as the "Steel Army", into the sea.
For the first time, Zhang Ziwen's supplementary regiment enjoyed the taste of military vehicles.
On December 3, the 103rd Division's Supplementary Regiment was officially included in the 200th Division's Supplementary Regiment, which belonged to Peng Bisheng, the commander-in-chief of the infantry of the 200th Division.
"Commander, I can see dozens of tanks and all kinds of heavy artillery."
Xiao Luo happily told what he had seen, and Zhang Ziwen also accompanied him.
Two hundred divisions were reorganized and trained in Xiangtan, and the Fifth Army was expanded.
Combat vehicles were procured from the Soviet Union and Germany, equipped with military vehicles, and logistics were also prioritized.
Even so, the Fifth Army has only put up a shelf so far.
The 200 divisions now have more than 5,000 people, three main regiments and a supplementary regiment, and a complete infantry division.
Qiu Qingquan's 22nd Division was more comfortable than the 200th Division, and he had his own chariot.
An armored regiment of the 200 division was directly under the military headquarters, and it used to walk on wheels, but now it has become a two-day leg.
If it were not for the need for supplementation, the establishment of a supplementary regiment would not have been agreed to just like that, it would still be an establishment of 4,000 people.
I just arrived yesterday, and the military uniforms and salaries have arrived, but there are no guns and ammunition.
From the small to the big, the 200 divisions themselves are also full of problems.
"Xiao Luo, you go and call Rao Xiangyun over."
Xiao Luo always said that Zhang Ziwen had no choice but to support him.
Xiao Luo looked at Lu Wenqing outside the door and immediately ran out.
"After inquiring clearly, now Bai Chongxi is thinking about the south of Guangdong, as the main grain producing area, the barren Bai Chongxi will not be greedy.
Guangxi has not had enough grain since ancient times, and this year's harvest in Guizhou is not enough, and Guangxi can only take it from Hunan, but it is not easy for Hunan, so grain prices are still high now. ”
The grain harvest is not good, the currency is depreciated, and the common people are sinned.
In the five counties of Huangping, there are fewer people who grow tobacco, and more people who grow grain, even if they are poor by tobacco, they can harvest a little more.
Put a little more plant ash and natural fertilizer in the spring of the next year, and the yield will come up.
Zhang Ziwen bought a lot of grain, put it first, and then sold it at a low price when the people couldn't get by.
This will not only provide relief, but also lower the price of food, which is better than nothing.
"Now the Fifth Army looks like a god, Qiu Qingquan, Dai Anlan, and Du Luming are somewhat estranged because of the armored forces.
Now that Bai Chongxi is in command of the whole army, Zhang Fakui, the commander of the Fourth War Zone, also has to accept the moderation of his Guilin camp.
Raising an army of 300,000, in fact, there are only a few troops that go up.
In order to preserve its strength, the Gui army will also be greatly flanked, and the main force must be the Central Army.
Kunlun Guan is a hard bone, and it is impossible to say that our new owner will continue to fight forward.
When the time comes, I will ask the regiment to estimate that I will have to go to the terrain of Kunlun Pass with my brothers, and I will go to death when I charge. ”
Zhang Ziwen will not deal with the contradictions within the Fifth Army, but Kunlun Pass cannot help but Zhang Ziwen is not worried.
Matters related to human life are major matters, let alone the lives of one's own brothers.
According to Lu Wenqing's inference, Kunlun Pass will definitely fall on the Fifth Army.
As the first mechanized army, tackling tough problems is a necessary subject.
Now that the whole country has truly entered the stage of the all-people war of resistance, although Lao Chiang's vision is not good, there are many Chinese elites.
Training soldiers in battle is handed down by our ancestors.
The April offensive was not also composed of the word rotation, and the battle of Kunlun Pass was only afraid that Lao Chiang was trying to see how the mechanized troops he valued the most were doing.
This is the reason why the supplementary regiment was accepted by the two hundred divisions.
This battle was destined to be won by the Fifth Army, and this battle was destined to be bloody.
Once on the boat, no one wants to swim across the river by themselves.
"Go back and have a good rest, and then tell Rao Xiangyun about the terrain."
Before they could get up, the teaching team had turned into small groups, sneaking into various places to collect specific information.
The map sent down was not a military map, and the contour lines were very ugly.
The terrain is not clear, and such a map is like harming one's own brother first.
Perfecting the map is only the first step, and the next step is to find out the enemy's troop deployment, weapons and equipment.
Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles.
I don't dare to say that Yum only asks for a few fewer deaths among the brothers, and a few fewer families in Qiandi to hang white silk.
There are only two words in the picture, peace of mind.
"Commander~"
Waving his hand to let Rao Xiangyun come in, UU reading the book .net He is responsible for the drawing and labeling of the map.
The position of staff officer can only be highlighted now, and if there is no staff officer in the supplementary regiment, then someone can only be found to do this.
"You are also responsible for the collection of intelligence, and now that Xiaobao is not in a mess, you will be so sad."
Ma Xiaobao was injured, and Zhang Ziwen knew how troublesome Ma Xiaobao's work was.
In the past, I only took the big policy, and handed it over to Ma Xiaobao to be in charge, but I didn't expect that these things would be complicated even according to the simplest process.
and replying to all kinds of official documents, which is simply a crime.
The command system is comparable to a human nerve center, Zhang Ziwen didn't want to be offended, so Rao Xiangyun stepped up.
There is no great merit but also no mistakes, and the word no mistake is the highest evaluation since Rao Xiangyun took charge of supplementing the group.
As long as he doesn't make mistakes, Zhang Ziwen is also happy to see that there are people under him who can do things.
The command of each battalion is in the hands of each battalion, and Zhang Ziwen only needs to hold the commander of each battalion.
Most of the battalions of the supplementary regiment are veterans of the ninth company, most of the company platoon commanders are veterans of independent battalions, and the basic commander of the squad leader is an excellent soldier.
The replenishment regiment developed too quickly and there were not enough ranks to ration it.
At present, there is still one battalion commander with the rank of lieutenant, and the military ranks of one colonel, two lieutenant colonels, and three majors promised by the 200 divisions have not yet been fulfilled.
In fact, the most urgent thing to solve is the issue of the rank of the commanders of each battalion, company, and platoon, and it is not a matter for a lieutenant rank to command thousands of people.
Besides, Dai Anlan couldn't do without the little thing that his daughter bought horse bones.
Otherwise, everyone knows that Dai Anlan is the most unpromising division commander of the 200 divisions.
At that time, it will be a matter of a lifetime, and it will affect the evaluation in Lao Jiang's heart.
If Du Luming doesn't say it, he will definitely rise to the top, and Xu Tingyao is now the commander-in-chief of the group army.
Dai Anlan dared not to exert his strength, and the two hundred divisions saw the best step to climb to the lieutenant general.
