Chapter 759: Forming a Heavy Corps

Tang Qiuli recruited troops all over the country, and the movement was very big, this hand poked the lungs of the powerful factions in various places, and they complained about it, and they didn't dare to resist the surface, so they made small moves behind their backs, and saw that the results were not great, and they couldn't stop the aspiring young people on their own territory, so they broke through the obstruction and joined the independent division one after another, so they hit the idea to the National Government Supervision Yuan, which is a government mouth that specializes in impeaching senior members of the national government.

For a time, Chongqing, the wartime capital of the great southwest, came to many representatives of powerful local factions, carrying the ocean and gold bars in their pockets, pulling relationships, looking for méns, frequently going in and out of the mén courts of the houses of various supervisory commissioners, opening up various joints, and the supervisory commissioners were full of feasts, and their pockets were full of oceans and gold bars.

Chairman Jiang had long noticed the fact that Tang Qiuli was recruiting troops in various places, and his desk was already full of various reports sent by the Central Command and the Military Commander, but he remained silent, in China, only the theater in which Tang Qiuli was responsible had a war, and it was facing the Kwantung Army, which was the most sharp Japanese army, and there was a reasonable excuse for recruiting troops, and it was on the table.

Another point, he knows too well that those local warlords who regard their territory as their old life, don't have to come out on their own, these people will jump up immediately, the impeachment of the Supervision Yuan will work, Tang Qiuli will naturally restrain and frustrate his spirit, if it doesn't work, he will also complain, make a lot of enemies, and he will not suffer a loss inside and outside, however, with Chairman Jiang's understanding of Tang Qiuli, how to put an impeachment in his heart.

Chairman Chiang was more concerned about the decree issued by the national government to unify finance and taxation, and he had lost his financial resources and could not afford to raise more soldiers, and this strategy was not only aimed at Tang Qiuli alone, but also a sharp weapon to weaken the powerful factions in various localities.

Tang Qiuli didn't care about the impeachment of the Supervisory Yuan, knowing the root cause of the impeachment, on the grounds that the war in the northeast was in full swing, he couldn't get out of the Supervisory Yuan to be questioned, and he couldn't help but take the government's fiscal and tax decrees seriously, and after pondering for a few days, he suddenly remembered the method of dividing the central and local taxation system adopted by the premier who was determined to change China's financial status quo in later generations.

At present, North China is on the front line of resistance to the enemy, and war is about to break out at any time, and in the Jiāo war area, the local financial resources can no longer afford such a large military expenditure, but in order to respond to the call of the national government and set an example for the local government of the whole country, it has been decided to allocate several types of taxes, which will be collected directly by the central government, and the local governments will use the others for their own use.

Chairman Jiang read Tang Qiuli's telegram, half speechless, he didn't expect that Tang Qiuli would actually take such a countermeasure, the taxes allocated to the central government, must be very little oil and water, féiròu he kept it himself, rather than this, it is better to be a favor, and give Tang Qiuli together, and also end up with a general reputation, but he always felt that it was not a taste in his heart, and Tang Qiuli's fiscal policy was touched back by a soft nail in this way.

After solving this problem, Tang Qiuli put all his strength into the construction of the troops, which was the foundation of his foothold, transferred all the tanks that had been modified from the Dingbian Arsenal to North China, selected soldiers with basic skills from various units, and entered the tank troops, and transferred the first batch of more than 1,100 armored cadets who graduated from the Dingbian Military Academy to the tank unit as grassroots commanders.

After being busy for a while, five brigades of armored troops were formed, with a total of more than 1,600 tanks and armored vehicles, but the models of these tanks were too mixed, including Japanese goods captured in previous battles, pure German blood, and the hún blood assembled by the government itself.

Tank guns, generally installed with the "Sky Eye" gun-aiming radar, not only improved the degree of shè hitting, but also, the tank can also shè fire while driving, which at that time, was an absolutely leading technology, several military powers did not have, so Tang Qiuli regretted that there were no heavy tanks, the assault force of armored firepower, it seemed weaker, however, according to his own assessment, all aspects of these tanks were able to be comparable to the level of the main battle tanks of various countries before 1943 in World War II.

At the end of July, all these weapons arrived in Beiping, and Tang Qiuli combined the 12 field infantry brigades, the rapid reaction brigade, and the two workers' anti-Japanese brigades directly under the division headquarters into 10 brigades, and all of them were reorganized into mechanized brigades.

Among them, there are four heavy mechanized brigades, six light mechanized brigades, each mechanized brigade, under the jurisdiction of two mechanized infantry regiments, one heavy artillery regiment, one light artillery regiment, one baggage regiment, one anti-tank gun battalion and one anti-tank gun battalion, one engineer battalion, one communications battalion, one reconnaissance battalion, field hospital directly under the brigade, guard battalion and other units.

The strength of each brigade reached about 18,000 people, of which, the heavy equipment reached an unprecedented proportion, which was the first mechanized unit formed in the squadron at that time, and at the same time, six artillery brigades and six cavalry brigades were incorporated into the directly subordinate corps, and the artillery unit and cavalry unit were formed, Zheng Yong and Liu Chūn were officially appointed as artillery and cavalry commanders, unified command of artillery and cavalry units.

The five detachments of the special operations detachment were also organized into special service regiments directly under the corps, with Fu Gang, the former captain of the sniper brigade of the special operations detachment, as the regiment commander, and the four newly formed air defense brigades organized into air defense units, with Chang Enduo, the former commander of the Huangya Dòng Air Defense Brigade, and the five newly formed tank brigades also incorporated into the battle sequence of the directly subordinate corps.

I can't help but think of Battle, who is far away at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, learning tank combat technology, more than three years, my younger brother is already a twenty-year-old young man, I don't know when to return to China, and the white Luoyu who went to Germany together, from a recent letter, Battle said that he would return to China in the near future, if he is there, this armored commander, he is the only one, why should he be reluctant, I haven't seen him for three years, I have been handsome, only in a dream, my brother will walk in, after waking up, I found that I miss it tightly, I wonder if his temper has changed?

Revoke the number of the independent division Taihang Mountain Field Corps, the subordinate troops, assigned to Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps and Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps battle sequence, the former corps acting commander Chang Feng, still returned to the division headquarters to serve as chief of staff, at the same time, concurrently served as the chief of staff of the directly subordinate corps, and this super strong corps commander was concurrently served by Tang Qiuli himself.

Compared with the former chiefs of staff Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang, Tang Qiuli prefers Chang Feng, a person with a clear mind, meticulous thinking, and unconventional, who can always look at problems from another angle, and come up with appropriate handling opinions, good at managing complicated affairs, a good educational background, and several experiences in commanding large corps operations alone, making him the best choice for Tang Qiuli to select the chief of staff, while Feng and Li are more rigid and sometimes more impulsive than themselves.

In this way, the corps directly under the independent division has 10 mechanized brigades, 6 artillery brigades, 6 cavalry brigades, 4 air defense brigades, 1 special service regiment, and 5 tank brigades, with a total strength of about 270,000 troops, and has become the main force of all the corps of the independent division.

The commanders of the other corps of the independent division don't know what the purpose of the division commander is to make such a big effort to form this heavy corps? If you want to deal with the little devils, the original establishment, troops, and firepower structure are enough, and how many battles with the little devils have also proved this, but the strength of this multi-arm hún combined corps is terrifying enough.

The commanders of several other corps secretly envy and red-eyed, the officers and soldiers of the directly subordinate corps are even more awesome, because on everyone's uniforms, there is another symbol, a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon, soaring in the blue sky and white clouds, with a earth in his mouth, embroidered with a few golden characters below "The Corps directly under the North China Independent Division of the National ** Army", mighty and handsome, seeing the other corps soldiers who are resting in Beiping, envy and red-eyed, and secretly sigh that there is no such good luck and is incorporated into the direct unit of the division commander.

The officers and soldiers of the directly subordinate corps walked, all with straight necks, and spoke loudly and loudly, and that spirit and pride made people look greedy and happy, and within a few days, one night in July, the whole corps suddenly gathered urgently, and walked all night in a dark light, and when it was dawn, they realized that they had reached the depths of Yanshan, which was a subject of Tang Qiuli's training troops, and the large corps was urgently pulled at night.

The effect was very unsatisfactory, the order of the various units, some of the infantry regiments of the car, even entered the ranks of the artillery regiments, and followed them all night, and some of the cavalry brigades, at night, lost their direction and walked to another fork in the road, moreover, they also lost several artillery regiments and tank brigades, and after an emergency call on the radio, they caught up with the large army near noon.

The most infuriating thing is that more than a dozen artillery trucks actually drove into a ravine, fortunately it was a shallow ditch, the car was damaged, the personnel were slightly injured, more than 30 cavalrymen, fell into a deep valley, the horses died, and even a corpse could not be found, and then the logistics troops, sent the urgently needed fuel and ammunition to an area with the same place name, but in the opposite direction, and saw that the cavalry was mixed with tanks, the middle of the artillery carriage was mixed with the medical vehicle of the field hospital, and dozens of broken down tanks, armored vehicles and cars were parked on the side of the road, it was completely a scene of luàn coaxing, Tang Qiuli was furious.

Now, the brigade commanders and soldiers of the brigades directly under the corps saw the division commander standing on the side of the road without saying a word, and the chief of staff, Major General Chang Feng, was standing on the side of the road with a face full of discomfort.
