Chapter 120: Expand the Army!

"Master, what are these two girls going to do?" Xu Hu, a deputy commander of the Tiger Battalion, asked.

"What to do! Bring it back to replenish the field hospital! Zhang Mingyu held a flue in his mouth.

At this time, the shouts in the distance were approaching, and Ling Tianbao, the commander of the Second Brigade of the Reading Division, arrived with about a company of troops, and when he saw Zhang Mingyu, he suddenly stood up and said: "Division!" ”

Zhang Mingyu looked back and looked at the soldiers behind Ling Tianbao, only to see that each of them had no less than five or six rifles on them, and some of them were holding two crooked handles. Seeing this, Zhang Mingyu scolded with a smile: "You little rabbit cubs, the brothers in front of you are about to chase the devil into the Yellow River, you see that you are all there is to it." ”

Ling Tianbao's old face turned red, scratched his head, and said, "Master, aren't the brothers afraid of being poor when they fall into the grass!" You don't know, this battle is so godly, the little devil runs away when he sees us, and the equipment is all over the mountains! The brothers can't finish picking it up. ”

Just as the two of them finished speaking, Ma Liqun came over with dozens of cavalry, and it seemed that his cavalry company was also chased away. Seeing Zhang Mingyu, Ma Liqun turned over and dismounted and saluted: "Master!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Mingyu saluted back and said: "Liqun, immediately disperse the cavalry company and notify all troops to arrive at the flag to assemble, and clean up the battlefield along the way!" ”

"Yes!" Ma Liqun turned over and got on his horse and drove away with the cavalry.

The sky was slightly bright, and the soldiers of the various divisions of the Reading Division also began to clean up the battlefield, and gathered towards the Dala Banner one after another. Last night, the Division of World War I completely defeated the 14th Division, killed two major generals and more than 10 major generals, annihilated more than 10,000 troops and horses, and captured more than 8,000 rifles, more than 80 heavy machine guns, more than 200 light machine guns, and countless grenades and bullets. In addition, it captured the equipment of a field artillery wing of the Japanese army, including 4 150 heavy guns, 8 105 howitzers, and 12 Type 92 infantry guns. After this war, the 14th Division could be removed from the military establishment.

With the help of the local people, the fighters pulled the captured guns and ammunition into truckloads of Dalaqi, and all the fighters were full of excitement.

"Take a seat! Commission! Inner Mongolia is a great victory! Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, said excitedly with a telegram in his hand: "Last night, General Zhang Mingyu led the Reading Division to carry out a sudden counterattack on the 14th Division of the Yue Army, crushing the enemy in one fell swoop, annihilating more than 10,000 people and horses of the 14th Division, and almost caught the old devil Kenji Tohihara!" ”

"Good! That's great! This battle was fought beautifully! It would be better if I could catch Kenji Dohihara, an old devil! This is the first time since the Anti-Japanese War that our army has completely annihilated the divisional and regimental establishment! If all the [***] generals are like Mingyu, just the Oriental Japanese Kouan dares to invade our China! Principal Jiang said excitedly.

The North China Command of the Army.

"Yaga Tooth Road! Bagaya Road! It's a shame to my empire! The existence of this reader is simply a shame for me to call this imperial army! Terauchi Shouichi said angrily. But he could only be angry, at this time the army was full of all its strength to attack Wuhan, trying to demote Chiang's regime from a national power to a local power, occupying Wuhan to force the national government to surrender, and was simply unable to mobilize heavy troops to deal with the readers. It also gives the reader a chance to breathe.

At this time, the reading division continued to rest and expand, after this battle, the reading division is already less people and more guns, in addition to the capture of the army, there are also his No. 1 and No. 2 arsenals, now the arsenal has officially entered the high-speed production stage, the equipment produced every month except for Ma Hongkui, enough to equip a Soviet armament regiment and a German armament regiment!

After achieving the victory of annihilating the 14th Division, Zhang Mingyu did not immediately attack north to take Baotou, but chose to recuperate! At this time, his reading division only had more than 20,000 horses, four brigades, except for one reading brigade to stay in the base area, there were at least two regiments left to defend Ordos, and less than 10,000 people could really be used to attack.

Therefore, Zhang Mingyu decided to continue to expand the army, because Principal Jiang only gave verbal rewards these few times and did not give Zhang Mingyu a promotion, the reading division can only have the establishment of these four brigades! But this did not prevent Zhang Mingyu from expanding his army. I think that although the 18th Group Army was composed of three divisions, it had the size of a group army when it was transferred from Shandong and other places after the end of the Anti-Japanese War.

The great victory of Inner Mongolia was once again widely reported by the major newspapers across the country, and the entire Western world was once again shocked by the Eastern God of War, who did not understand why the Imperial Army, which boasted of being invincible in land warfare, would be repeatedly defeated by this Eastern God of War. The nerves of the whole [***] people were shocked again, and everyone knew Zhang Mingyu, the god of war general, to the high-ranking officials on the street, and the beggars on the street!

Although President Jiang knew that Zhang Mingyu's position in the hearts of the whole people was becoming more and more important, he had nothing to do, and he urgently needed victory to boost the morale of the army and the people, so as to strengthen the determination of the whole people to resist.

Although he doesn't know whether he can control this little fellow and student in the future, there is one thing that he is still gratifying, that is, according to the intelligence of the Military Command Bureau, Zhang Mingyu did not have too much contact with [***]! He believes that as long as Zhang Mingyu is not red, he will have the confidence to control him!

The leader of Yucheng is in retreat.

Principal Jiang was reviewing the documents, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Principal Jiang bowed his head and said, "Come in!" ”

The people strode into President Jiang's office, and then saluted: "Take a seat!" ”

Principal Jiang raised his head and saw the person coming, and said, "Yu Nong! Is there anything going on at this late hour? ”

The person who came was Dai Li, Dai Yunong, director of the Military Command Bureau, and he hurriedly said: "Commission, according to our report, Zhang Mingyu has started to recruit troops in the border area of Inner Mongolia in Shaanxi Province again. ”

Principal Jiang thought for a while and said, "Mingyu is also recruiting soldiers to resist!" But we still need to send a few of them, just in case! ”

"Yu Nong understands! Rain farmer retires! Dai put on his hat and walked out of Principal Chiang's office.

After Dai Li left, Principal Jiang leaned back in his chair and sighed softly. He can't stop Zhang Mingyu's recruitment, and under the banner of resistance, Zhang Mingyu has 10,000 excuses and reasons to recruit troops.

After more than half a month of recruitment, the reader has recruited more than 10,000 recruits! Zhang Mingyu expanded them evenly to the first, second, and third brigades! Strengthen these three brigades even further! Recruitment continues, and recruits begin their arduous training with the help of veterans.

In the second half of the recruitment process, the Reading Force Division recruited 10,000 soldiers again, and it is worth noting that several students came to join the army, and in the training, they always improved much faster than other soldiers in various weapons and physical training, so these people were slowly appointed to the positions of squad leaders and other positions of these recruits.

After a month of recruitment, the number of students has now expanded to more than 45,000. There were four infantry brigades, an air defense regiment, an artillery regiment, a cavalry battalion, a tank regiment. The 1st Brigade consisted of three infantry regiments and a machine gun regiment. It is a German armament brigade, the second brigade is a Soviet armament brigade, consisting of three infantry regiments and a machine gun regiment, and the third brigade is a regiment composed of Soviet, German, Japanese, and mechanical regiments, and most of the weapons are captured armament weapons.

Since the equipment produced by the arsenal was given priority by Zhang Mingyu to equip the Reading Brigade that was responsible for staying behind, the Third Brigade could only be equipped with miscellaneous weapons of the Three Kingdoms first.

In order to make up for the combat effectiveness of the Reading Brigade, Zhang Mingyu respectively transferred veterans with combat merits from the first, second, and third brigades to supplement the Reading Brigade, so as to increase the combat effectiveness of the Reading Brigade and prevent the Reading Brigade from being full of new recruits.

In addition, Zhang Mingyu also specially purchased more than 30 T-28 and T-26 tanks and BA-20 armored vehicles from the Soviet Union to form a special armored battalion, which was equipped with the Reading Brigade to strengthen the defensive force.

This special armored battalion made Lai San, Zhang Biao and others covetous, and Zhang Mingyu scolded with a smile: "In the near future, each of your brigades will have an armored tank regiment!" ”

Next, the reading division began a large-scale training to prepare for the next counterattack on Baotou.
