The whole army changed its clothes

The temporary headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Shanghai, accompanied by a letter of information, was forwarded from the Japanese mainland through layers and finally reached the hands of Zuo Quan, chief of staff of the expeditionary force. Zuo Quan, who had always been anxious about the equipment that had not yet arrived, quickly glanced at the contents of the telegram, and finally showed a long-lost smile on his face.

Under the surprised gaze of the combat staff officers around him, he rushed directly to Liu Hua's office not far away.

"Good news, good news, good news, commander-in-chief... After such a long wait, I finally see a piece of good news? Walking into the office, I looked at Liu Hua, who was still silent on the map. The excited Zuo Quan said directly.

"What's the good news....Could it be that the equipment supported by the U.S. government has arrived?" Liu Hua raised his head and asked rhetorically with a bright face.

"No, we haven't heard from the equipment side yet. It's a piece of information from the central government that has just forwarded a letter from the Japanese mainland...."

"It took less than half a month for our advance team to successfully complete the task assigned to them by the front commander," Zuo Quan replied.

"Uh, tell me about the specifics?" Liu Hua immediately stopped thinking just now and asked.

"Thanks to the continuous efforts of our advance team, the resistance organization in Japan, which was already close to extinction, has once again revived. So far, the advance detachment of our expeditionary force has a total of ten combat detachments, each of which controls at least one rebel army in the Japanese mainland. According to the latest statistics of our intelligence sub-bureau stationed in Japan, the total size of the Japanese rebel army under the command of our advance contingent has reached 10,000. And this number is snowballing. According to the estimates of the intelligence department, within half a month. The size of these rebels will exceed a staggering fifty thousand men..."

"Fifty thousand rebels... Chief of Staff, you're not wrong...."Liu Hua asked rhetorically with an incredulous expression.

Although, the five hundred special operations elites sent by themselves can all speak proficient Japanese. However, the environment in which they live is, after all, a foreign country. And the difficulty of organizing such a large-scale rebel army in a short period of time in Japan, which is unfamiliar with life, is simply different from that in China.

And now. These five hundred elites not only unexpectedly completed the task, but also overfulfilled the task, which had to shock and surprise Liu Hua. Then, he looked at Zuo Quan in front of him with a puzzled face, waiting for a specific explanation.

"Hehe, commander-in-chief, for this reason, let's also thank the Japanese Emperor Hirohito. In order to continue the war in the Pacific. In the face of the government's increasingly depleted finances and materials. Emperor Hirohito and his military junta had to turn their minds on ordinary citizens and colonies..."

"According to the latest information sent back by the Japanese intelligence service, the relationship between the Japanese military government and ordinary citizens so far has been revealed. It has reached the point of armed confrontation. Almost every day, every hour, many people die in the streets because of hunger...."

"It is the so-called official coercion and civil rebellion. Had to be reversed. In the face of death, as long as the Japanese people who are on the verge of death are given a hope to live, they will not hesitate to take up arms and join the rebel army we have organized..."

"In addition, after our advance team joined the rebel army, the rebel armies in various places have won successive battles, and even many rebel armies have formed base areas according to the domestic model. This leads to: The prestige of the rebel army is getting bigger and bigger in Japan, and many Japanese people are also suspicious from the beginning. It gradually evolved into the trust that the rebels could eventually overthrow the current junta..."

"So, in less than half a month, the ten rebel armies were like snowballs, rolling thousands of people into 10,000 people who now have a certain combat effectiveness..."Zuo Quan replied with a smile on his face.

"Good job... The 50,000 army, if used well, is enough to catch the Japanese mainland defenders off guard at a critical moment....Emperor Hirohito is really our hero, after successfully landing on the Japanese mainland, I really want to meet this Emperor Hirohito in person...."After receiving an affirmative answer, Liu Hua, who had been thinking about the specific strategy of attacking the Japanese mainland, instantly understood the importance of the 50,000 rebel army to the entire military operation, and said excitedly. …,

And today is destined to be a day that makes Liu Hua excited. As soon as his words fell, there was a sharp knock at the door of the office....

"Come in...."

Liu Hua's voice just sounded in the office, and the anxious and excited figure of the communications staff officer stood in front of the two.

"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, South China Sea Fleet Urgent Telegram ...."

"South China Sea Fleet, is there news about our weapons? Tell me, what's the matter? Liu Hua hurriedly asked rhetorically.

"The Commander-in-Chief Wise....East China Sea Fleet reported that the fleet had successfully received the ocean-going fleet from the U.S. government in the predetermined sea area as required and an hour earlier. At present, the East China Sea Fleet is escorting this ocean-going fleet to the Shanghai Naval Port in accordance with the order, and it is tentatively estimated that the ocean-going fleet will dock at the Shanghai Military Port at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning...."The communications staff officer replied.

"Chief of Staff, today is really a good thing....equipment, the equipment we have been thinking about for half a month has finally arrived...."The successive news has completely covered Liu Hua's face with a smile. looked at Zuo Quan in front of him, and said with an excited face.

"It's finally here, I, as the chief of staff, finally don't have to stand here in a hurry....Commander-in-chief, I suggest that I immediately order the garrison outside the city to assemble and get ready to receive equipment. At the same time, order all the baggage troops to enter the military port immediately and prepare to transport these equipment..."The excited Zuo Quan said with emotion.

"I agree, this task will be entrusted to you to complete....you especially have to tell the two tank divisions and the armored battalions directly under each division that after receiving the equipment, they will immediately carry out adaptive training. I'll give them ten days at most, and within ten days, they must fully get used to these weapons in hand......" Liu Hua nodded approvingly...

In the Shanghai Naval Port, accompanied by a loud whistle from the sea, huge ocean-going freighters and new destroyers, spitting thick black smoke, appeared in the field of vision of everyone at the dock. This huge fleet, unsurprisingly, is all the ships and equipment delivered by the U.S. government to the Chinese government...

At the dock of the military port, I watched a howitzer and cannon with a caliber of 150 mm fall steadily on the pier under the continuous lifting of large cranes. Immediately after that, it was towed away by heavy trucks that rushed in. Zuo Quan's eyes have already become hot...

"Commander-in-chief, are all these artillery pieces for us?" Seeing the endless stream of artillery, and seeing the excited expressions of the artillery companies on the dock. Zuo Quan, who knew that he only knew the specific amount of this batch of equipment today, couldn't help but ask with a sluggish face.

"Of course, there are fifteen American-style heavy artillery brigades, with a total of more than 3,000 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters....According to the scale of our army's existing heavy artillery divisions, it is enough to form thirty heavy artillery divisions....Chief of Staff, you can rest assured that with the addition of these artillery, no, only half of the artillery is needed, and the Japanese cities can be slowly razed to the ground one by one...."Liu Hua replied confidently.

"So much....?"

Seeing Zuo Quan with a surprised face, Liu Hua continued to break the news.

"Chief of Staff, don't worry, what you're seeing in front of you is just a little hors d'oeuvres..."

"To tell you the truth, all the ships docked in the military port, including a medium aircraft carrier, three light cruisers, dozens of destroyers....are all military expenses paid by the U.S. government to allow us to send troops to the Japanese mainland...."

"Of course, that's just what we can see right now. Among the dozens of transport ships docked outside the military port, there are hundreds of the latest combat planes of various types, thousands of American heavy tanks, and more than 1,000 American medium tanks that the US government has provided free support... It can be said that with these equipment, the combat effectiveness of our expeditionary force can be more than doubled in a short period of time...."..., Zuo Quan was shocked in addition to being shocked by Liu Hua's revelations. A few minutes later, when tanks weighing dozens of tons appeared in his field of vision, the shocked Zuo Quan slowly reacted. looked at Liu Hua beside him and said with emotion.

"Commander-in-chief, Commander-in-Chief, I Zuo Quan has been miserable by you during this time....I didn't expect that you would have laid such a big foreshadowing, which made me worry for so long in vain....so much heavy equipment, if I can't take the Japanese island, my Zuo Quan won't live......."

"Chief of Staff, as you know, there are some things that I dare not divulge without the consent of the chairman and others. What's more, this matter is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our expeditionary force, and I have to be cautious...."Liu Hua also replied helplessly.

Because the various combat units had already been prepared to receive new equipment, the refitting of more than 300,000 troops, especially the refitting of heavy weapons, was successfully completed in less than two days.

After the rearmament, a Chinese expeditionary force with a more complete organization and firepower was completely displayed in front of the world.

In addition to the original troops and equipment, a main division of the expeditionary force has specially added a medium tank assault battalion, that is, 12 medium tanks. At the same time, in order to make up for the lack of heavy firepower of the division, a 105-caliber howitzer regiment with a total of 36 large-caliber howitzers was specially strengthened.

As for the main army, a tank assault regiment consisting of a mixed battalion of heavy tanks and two light tank battalions was added. In terms of heavy weapons, in addition to the original field artillery battalions, a 150-mm howitzer regiment, a 120-mm cannon regiment, and a 150-mm heavy mortar regiment were added to each ....

Plus six 150-mm heavy howitzer regiments directly under the expeditionary force, three 150-mm heavy cannon regiments, a 230-mm super-caliber siege artillery battalion dedicated to sieges, one heavy tank division, two heavy tank divisions. The firepower of the entire expeditionary force has reached an unprecedented level ...
