There is such an army in Chinese history, they are notorious for being "insiders in civil wars, outsiders in foreign wars", and are considered the worst army in China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, however, after the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance on July 7, 1937, they were in the anti-Japanese national united front

Inspired by the call, he resolutely left his hometown and went to fight

The front line of the day.

After the baptism of this war that almost wiped out the country and the species, they used their lives and blood to shame before the shame, confirming the sentence of "Three Kingdoms" Bajun Taishou Yan Yan "There are decapitated generals in our state, and there are no generals who surrender", he

The name is the Sichuan Army.

On July 7, 1937, the Japanese invaders brazenly launched the Lugou Bridge Incident, and the Chinese defenders bravely resisted, thus opening the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression of the Chinese people.

On the 10th of that month, Liu Xiang, chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Government, sent a telegram to the Nationalist Government calling for resistance against Japan. On August 7, Liu Xiangfei

Arrived in Nanjing to attend the Supreme National Defense Conference held that night.

At the meeting, Liu Xiang made a generous speech and urged the day. "Only by resisting the war can we save the country and win the people

Heart; You have to go outside to be at home." He also said that in order to resist the war, "Sichuan can send 300,000 troops, supply 5 million strong men, and supply tens of thousands of stone of grain." On the 26th, Liu Xiang published the "Letter to the Military and Civilian Citizens of Sichuan Kang for the National Salvation and War of Resistance", calling on the people of Sichuan to share the same hatred for the enemy, destroy their homes and relieve difficulties, rise up to resist Japan, and at the same time shoulder the heavy burden of the construction of the rear base area.

Although Lao Chiang promised that the Sichuan army would provide them with sufficient weapons and equipment, in fact, few of the promises he made were fulfilled.

Because of this, the equipment of the Sichuan army at that time was extremely poor, and the weapons and equipment of their various armies were very inferior and simple, more than 80% of all the rifles were made in Sichuan, and the rest belonged to Hanyang.

The weapons of the Sichuan army have been used for a long time and their quality is so poor that most of them have lost their effectiveness, and some guns cannot be moved after one or two shots, and some guns do not even have bayonets on them.

As for light and heavy machine guns or something, the number is even less touching, more than ten per division, and a few at less. In terms of artillery, each division did not have a single mountain or field artillery except for a few mortars.

In terms of equipment, each person only has two sets of coarse cloth single clothes (shorts), a pair of leggings, a narrow and short single quilt, a small bamboo mat, two pairs of rain boots, and a hat.

The Sichuan army is naturally not much better in terms of food, not to mention military salaries or something, if Lao Jiang can give them military salaries in time, the Sichuan army should be happy.

And now, Li Shunsheng and they have encountered such a Sichuan army unit.

"Brother, which part of you are?" A brigade commander of the Sichuan Army opposite Li Shunsheng asked with a puzzled face.

"We are from the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army." Li Shunsheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and reported the name of his unit.

"Anti-Japanese volunteers? Forgive all due diligence, we have not heard of your army's name in our country. The brigade commander of the Sichuan Army glanced at his staff officer, saying that he had never heard the name of a unit in China.

"Our ministry was formed recently, so it's normal that I haven't heard of it."

"Then your department is going to .........," the brigade commander of the Sichuan army stopped when he wanted to speak.

"Shanghai."

…………

"Brigade Commander Li, are you from the Central Army?" After visiting Li Shunsheng's troops, the brigade commander of the Sichuan army was a little surprised, he had never seen such a luxurious unit, in his eyes, only the Central Army, the descendant of Lao Chiang, could have such equipment.

"We are volunteers, we don't belong to anyone, if you have to say it, we are an anti-Japanese force funded by overseas Chinese, and we have nothing to do with China." Li Shunsheng denied the claim that he was an old Chiang army.

Before parting, Li Shunsheng gave the brigade commander of the Sichuan army a gift.

When he saw the gift that Li Shunsheng said in his mouth, the brigade commander bit his lip tightly: "Brother, thank you for your great kindness, if he is useful to me in the future, please do not hesitate to give orders." ”

He did not refuse Li Shunsheng's gift, for their troops, Li Shunsheng's gift was like rain from heaven.

"Brigadier, why did you send those things to them? They were like that, you ......" Wang Hu didn't understand a little, although the things sent out were nothing to Li Shunsheng, who was wealthy, but he was very uncomfortable.

"One yard is one yard, they are also poor people, if you can help, you can help a little!"
