Early in the morning of 1 February, Xie Niancheng boarded a plane and rushed to Wuhan, central China, where the Supreme Military Council of the Chinese Federation would be held.

The plane was piloted by Xie Niancheng's lover Ling Boli, and the plane's speed was very low and the altitude was not high, the purpose was to inspect the troops in Izukawa from the air.

Xie Niancheng sat by the porthole of the plane and began to look at the ground a few hundred meters below.

He could clearly see the rolling flow of people and vehicles winding for dozens of kilometers on the highway of Dekawa. There are many people and cars, but there is order.

Xie Niancheng flew all the way, and kept shouting to the troops advancing on the ground in clear codes in the air all the way.

"Officers and soldiers of the newly formed units of the Revolutionary Army, I am Xie Niancheng, I am Xie Niancheng, I am on your head now, I hope you must follow the plan, arrive at the predetermined place on time and prepare for battle! I'm going to charge with you, I'm going to charge with you......"

Xie Niancheng's voice came out of the radio car walking on the ground, triggering bursts of cheers.

All the officers and men on the ground took off their steel helmets and waved them, and their mouths also made the loudest sound they could, as if if they did this, the people on the plane in the sky would be able to hear their own salute.

The plane made a large circle from northwest to southeast, inspected all the troops leaving Sichuan on the road, and then flew east to Wuhan, the seat of the provisional central government of the Chinese Federation.

When the plane arrived at the Wuhan airport, dozens of high-ranking Socialist Party members stood densely packed on the airport.

Jiang Wei and Wang Zhongzheng, leaders of the Central Army, Li Zhongren and Bai Gaoxi, leaders of the Gui faction, Feng Xiangyu of the Northwest Army, and Yan Shanxi of the Jin Sui Army were all present at the scene.

The situation is urgent. Of the more than 2 million troops of the Chinese Federation, less than half of them still have combat effectiveness. The front-line troops of the Japanese army on the opposite side already had 37 divisions and regiments, with 800,000 people. It can be said that the Japanese army has an overwhelming advantage in combat effectiveness.

Compared with the Japanese army, the current Chinese Revolutionary Army is far from being an opponent in terms of the quality of its officers and men and the equipment of its troops, and a large brigade of the Japanese army can compete with the revolutionary army. And one division can at least draw with the five armies of the revolutionary army.

Now the whole federation can look forward to it. That is, the Sichuan army that has fought in the south and west over the years.

Xie Niancheng got off the plane and received the warmest welcome from everyone, and the group arrived at the conference room of the highest camp in Wuhan. There were less than 10 people left in the conference room.

"Nian Cheng, you can be regarded as here, how about it, how many people did you bring out of Sichuan?" Jiang Wei couldn't wait to ask.

Everyone here has expectations for the Sichuan army. A big reason is that the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Air Force is really amazing. At present, the number of Sichuan fighters deployed in various theaters has reached 1,500, and the Japanese air force has not been allowed to dominate China's airspace at all, which is also the biggest reason why the revolutionary army has been able to support it until now.

Looking at the eyes of these bigwigs, Xie Niancheng joked with everyone.

Xie Niancheng stretched out his right hand and stretched out three fingers.

Concentrate on the military, and in politics, Bai Gaoxi's face is not very good-looking.

Feng Xiangyu, a man from the Northwest, opened his mouth directly: "I said Commander Xie, why are the 300,000 people of your Sichuan army pulled out now?" If only it had been pulled out earlier. The battle won't be like it is today! ”

Xie Niancheng saw that everyone's faces were a little unsightly, and said with a smile: "Commander Feng." Did I say that our Sichuan army went out of Sichuan with 300,000 people? ”

"How much is that?" Wang Zhongzheng hurriedly asked.

"Our Sichuan army went out of Sichuan this time, with a total of 3.2 million infantry, 300,000 armored troops, and 2.7 million logistics troops, a total of 6 million people!"

"Shhhh

After a gasp, everyone else in the room was stunned, 6 million people! That's more than the Chinese Revolutionary Army and the Japanese Army combined.

"Commander-in-Chief Xie, aren't you bragging, half a year ago, the Sichuan army was only 300,000 people, why is it suddenly 6 million now?"

"Commander Feng, all of my 6 million people are recruits who have only joined the army in the past six months. But rest assured, my troops, after months of training, will be ready to go to the battlefield soon! ”

The Socialist bigwigs were immediately excited, and soon, after consultation, they worked out a new battle plan:

The New Army, led by the National Salvation Congress, was deployed 100 kilometres behind the front of the Socialist Federal Army. When the time comes, the National Salvation Congress and all units of the Socialist Revolutionary Army will launch a major counteroffensive together, and the main force of the Japanese army invading China, more than 2 million people, must be annihilated on the land of China.

In order to ensure that the battle plan is not leaked, Xie Niancheng will once again send 3,000 fighters to join the battlefield, completely occupy air supremacy in North China, Central China, and East China, and knock out the eyes of the Japanese army.

At the end of February, millions of troops of the National Salvation Army (NRF) quietly set up an advance position 80-120 kilometres behind the front of the Socialist Revolutionary Army.

On March 17, 2029, the 1.7 million Japanese troops who had been assembled to the front line began a full-scale offensive.

On the side of the Socialist Party, the officers at the division level of the revolutionary army all received the same order this time: "Try to snipe the Japanese army, if you can't hold on, you can retreat, and remember not to fight hard with the Japanese army." ”

Despite such a loose order, the revolutionary army fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army for three days and three nights.

On March 21, from North China to Southeast China, all units of the Revolutionary Army were defeated and retreated.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese invasion of China, Shiro Okamura, frowned when he received the battle report from his subordinates. The battle report this time made it clear that although the combat units of the Chinese army were retreating one after another, this time it was different from before, and it was not so much a defeat as a retreat, and not a single high-ranking general was killed in battle.

What is even more strange is that this time the revolutionary army was defeated on all fronts, unlike before, there were always a few troops who fought particularly stubbornly and fought to the last soldier.

Soon, the Japanese intelligence department dispelled Gangcun's doubts: "Your Excellency, the behavior of the Chinese army is completely normal, and their leaders Jiang Wei and Wang Zhongzheng have sent special envoys to negotiate surrender with the empire. At this time, they naturally will no longer fight to the death with the imperial army. ”

Zhang Linfu and Chen Qin, the two brothers in distress, retreated from their positions in Suzhou, southwest of Xuzhou. One of them is now the commander of the 18th Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army and the other is the commander of the 74th Army. It can be said that they are all military commanders of ace troops.

This battle was fought very badly, and it was clear that his troops could hold on for a few more days, but the headquarters just asked to retreat!

"Throne! There are troops blocking the intersection in front of them, not letting the brothers pass, let the brothers take a detour, what should I do? ”

"Do you see which part it is?"

"They say they're the new army! But we don't know what new troops there are! "Report of the commander of the vanguard regiment of the Eighteenth Army.

Zhang Linfu and Chen Qin glanced at each other, Xinjun. That's the establishment of the Sichuan Army!

The two hurried to the intersection in front of them, only to hear bursts of crying and laughter mixed together.

The two did not get out of the car, but sent their own guards to take a look. It's what happened.

It didn't take long for the guards to return.

"Commander, our brethren have been defeated and have seen troops answer. So laughed out loud with joy. ”

"Then what are you crying about?"

Now the guard was a little embarrassed. "Junza, the brothers saw that the equipment of the brothers' troops was too good, so they couldn't help crying."

Xie Niancheng's troops were well equipped, and Zhang Linfu and Chen Qin knew about it.

The weapons and equipment of Xie Niancheng's troops at that time pulled down a lot of their troops at that time.

But the problem is that the 18th Army and the 74th Army are Wang Wei's most confidant troops, and the weapons and equipment are all bought back from the United States.

The two of them sat in a small jeep to the intersection and walked through the crowd. The tears of the two almost fell.

What they see is a tank with no tail in sight!

These tanks were tall and mighty, much stronger than the thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army.

But it was the thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army. Often one also requires two of its subordinates to sacrifice dozens of people to fight, and when I saw a Sichuan army unit that I met casually, there were so many tanks, and the two of them couldn't cry if they didn't want to!

The military police of the Sichuan army on duty on the opposite side saw two senior officers coming, and they still came over to salute very politely: "Two commanders, please also ask your troops to take a detour to retreat, our army will be stationed here and wait for the order to counterattack." ”

Zhang Linfu muttered: "Are you the New Seventeenth Army or the New Forty-second Army?" So many tanks? ”

After the victory of the Northern Expedition, the national army was reorganized, the 17th Army and the 19th Army of the Sichuan Army maintained their original structure, while the 18th Army was incorporated into the Central Army sequence and was renamed the 42nd Army. The Sichuan Army has also fought a lot of battles over the years, so the names of the 17th, 19th and 42nd armies are also quite well-known.

Now the gendarme on the other side, who has always had a sense of superiority, was a little embarrassed.

"Two generals, we are the troops of the New 23rd Army, and this is our tank regiment, we dare not compare with the New 17th Army and the New 42nd Army. These two armies are motorized troops, which do not need to walk on their legs, and they have tank divisions in these two armies, which we cannot compare at all. ”

Zhang Linfu and Chen Qin glanced at each other, and they both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

After the two ordered the troops to walk around, they visited the military appearance of the new 23rd Army on foot.

"Damn, how did Xie Niancheng do it, does any army under him have such strength?" Zhang Linfu hated the authentic.

Chen Qin also shook his head, and suddenly he saw the dense barrels on a truck, and asked the artillerymen on the car: "What is this?" ”

The artilleryman was very proud: "Sir, this is the 16-barrel rocket launcher of our military rocket artillery regiment!" ”

"This is the armored car of our armored regiment!"

"This is our flamethrower!"

After watching it all the way, both of them couldn't help but sigh.

"If our Social Revolutionary Army had so many weapons, we would have killed the Japanese long ago!"

Zhang Linfu's words were uttered in unison from millions of mouths in the entire land of China.

In the end, the Socialist Revolutionary Army did not retreat, but arranged next to the positions of the New Army of the National Salvation Congress, waiting for the Japanese to come and die.

A soldier of the revolutionary army said: "The land of China was lost from our hands, we will never retreat again, we will work with you to take back these lands inch by inch!" (To be continued......)
