If the formation of the expeditionary force is a game of chess. Then there seem to be a few more players who are qualified to play this game. Lao Chiang, Zhang Shaoshuai, Ouyang Yun, Long Yun, and perhaps the British, French, and Japanese. There are more people who fall into the game, and this chess game will definitely be very chaotic, and the result will naturally be in the clouds for a while and a half. Ouyang Yun wanted this effect.

From the issuance of a letter of order to the formation of the expeditionary force and the march to the front, the process lasted nearly 50 days. In terms of the composition of the troops, the Northeast Army did not mix any water, and all the troops named were assembled in the Guizhou area, and then marched into Yunnan. After a week's rest in Kunming, the Northeast Army set up a general headquarters in Pu'er City, and in addition to the 2nd Cavalry Corps stationed in Pu'er, the other three land corps under the leadership of their respective army commanders marched to Yangon, the capital of Burma, through the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

This time, the Northeast Army really even pulled out the old book, and compared with it, the student army is much more conservative. In the end, it was determined that the Western Expedition consisted of a total of six divisions and two independent brigades, of which Guo Da's Laoxue First Division and Chu Tiange's First Guerrilla Division and Second Guerrilla Division were organized into the First Army of the Western Expedition, with Army Commander Chu Tiange and Deputy Army Commander Guo Da. The First Mountain Division of Huang Haifu and the Second Mountain Division and the Third Mountain Division from Hainan were organized as the Second Army of the Western Expedition, with Ouyang Yun personally serving as the commander and Huang Haifu serving as the deputy commander. The two independent brigades are the jungle special operations brigade formed by the combination of the unity brigade and the wolf-toothed wolf-head regiment, and the special artillery brigade of the Western Expedition formed by the 1st and 2nd Special Artillery Brigades and the special operations section, with Huang Hua as the brigade commander.

It took nearly a month for the Northeast Army's Western Expeditionary Force to complete its assembly, and it only took a week for the Cadet Army to complete its assembly. When the various units of the Northeast Army were bustling towards the assembly point in Guizhou, the Cadet Army had already begun intensive training. At the same time, the 13th Division of the Fifth Army took an engineer regiment on a military card and pounced on Chongzuo City with lightning speed.

At this moment, stationed in Chongzuo is the newly established 206th Division of the Central Army, and the division commander Song Yi.

The 13th Division went directly to Qinzhou City from Zhanjiang, stayed in Qinzhou for half an hour, and after greeting the local Gui army, then rushed to Chongzuo non-stop, and arrived at Liuqiao Town in Chongzuo, which took only seven hours. The main barracks of the 206th Division is in Liuqiao Town, and a total of brigade and regiment troops are stationed in this barracks. When the pathfinder scouts of the 13th Division discovered this barracks, nearly 4,000 officers and men were sitting on the playground in three groups watching the instructors explain American-style firearms, and there was also a regiment of officers and soldiers who were conducting design training at a shooting range 3,000 meters away.

"Master, I found a barracks in front of me, what should I do next?" Yu Deli, commander of the reconnaissance battalion, immediately reported the news to the division commander Yang Chuntai and asked for instructions on the next move.

"Salute first, then soldier!" Yang Chuntai's answer was very crisp.

"Yes!"

The Liuqiao Barracks is located two kilometers north of the Chongqin Highway in the mountains, a dirt road connects to the Chongqin Highway through the east gate of the barracks, and one hundred and fifty meters away from the east gate, the 206th Division has set up a roadblock here. Yang Chuntai appeared in front of the soldiers of the national army stationed at the roadcar with more than a dozen of his subordinates driving two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles, startling them. In the fortifications built with sandbags on both sides of the roadcar, the two machine gunners immediately prepared for battle, and at the same time, they led a squad leader and a sergeant out of the humble sentry box and asked, "Who are you?" So what's going on? I don't know if this is a military powerhouse? ”

When he was still seven or eight meters away from the roadcar, Yu Deli waved his hand and ordered to stop. Then, he Shi Shiran stepped down from the sidecar of the three-wheeled motorcycle, took two steps forward and said: "Brother, we are the 13th Division of the Cadet Army, and we have been ordered by Shangfeng to come to receive the Chongzuo defense, this is the order document and my ID!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and handed a copy of the order and his own ID to the squad leader.

"Cadet Army?" Hearing this term, the soldiers of the national army were a little confused. After all, I usually hear too many legends about this term from the newspapers and from the mouths of comrades-in-arms. No matter how the Chongqing government defines the Cadet Army, there is one thing that they cannot hide, that is, today's Cadet Army has long become a wonderful branch on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. Several soldiers of the national army couldn't help but start to look at Yu Deli and them, look at the oil paint on their faces, look at the camouflage uniforms and military boots on their bodies, and then look at the Weiqing-style assault rifle that they held in their arms or carried behind their backs, and couldn't help but stand upright.

206 As an American mechanic under construction, the cultural quality of officers and soldiers is relatively high. The squad leader read the order document and the text on Yu Deli's certificate without hindrance, smashed his mouth twice, and said to Yu Deli: "Battalion Commander Yu, I can't be the master of this matter, please wait a while, I will report to the superior Lu immediately." ”

Yu Deli looked very tolerant, he flipped his left wrist to look at his watch, and said, "Okay, we'll wait here." ”

The squad leader saluted him, went back to the sentry box, rang the phone, and began to report to Lu Shang layer by layer.

Song Yi, commander of the 206th Division, was not in the barracks at this time, and Du Dehai, the chief of staff of the division, was in charge of the affairs of the barracks. Du Dehai was in his office looking through the instructions for American-made ordnance sent from Chongqing when the phone suddenly rang. He grabbed the phone and heard the microphone explode: "Chief of Staff, the big thing is not good, the student army is coming!" ”

"What?" Du Dehai was taken aback, stood up and shouted, "What's going on, you can make it clear." ”

The caller was the brigade commander of the new 206th Brigade of the 116th Division, Vanke. After receiving the report from his subordinates, he realized that this matter was not trivial, and temporarily gathered his guard company and immediately rushed to Luka, and he panted on the phone: "Dozens of soldiers suddenly came outside the east gate of the barracks, and they handed over a document, saying that they had come to accept the defense of Chongzuo on the orders of the Central Military Commission. Chief of Staff, I have already asked clearly, they are the 13th Division under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army, and the division commander is called Yang Chuntai. ”

Du Dehai's brows furrowed, and he secretly wondered in his heart that I didn't receive an order from the Central Military Commission, could it be that the telegram was sent directly to the division? After thinking about it, he said, "Don't act rashly, I want to confirm with the division commander." ”

"Chief of Staff, but how do you reply to them?"

"Let's just say that we haven't received the order to go up yet."

"Yes!"

Du Dehai hurriedly contacted Song Yi. He made several phone calls in a row, but he was told that the division seat was not here, and he was about to call the Ningming County barracks, but found that the phone suddenly couldn't get through.

When Du Dehai contacted Song Yi, on the side of the roadcard outside the east gate of the Liuqiao Barracks, as the roar of the engine from the east became louder and louder, Vanke, who was accompanying the smiling face and Yu Deli to make friends, looked to the east, and his face changed suddenly - the first thing that caught his eye was an armored car, then two, then three, and in less than three minutes, more than a dozen armored vehicles drove into his sight. "This, this, what are you trying to do?" Vanke finally couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and his face sank and asked Yu Deli.

Yu Deli still maintained a warm smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly skimming a haughty arc. He said nonchalantly: "This is the 37th Brigade of the forward unit of our 13th Division, Brigade Commander Wan, come, I will introduce you to you." ”

Vanke gritted his teeth, and secretly scolded Du Dehai in his heart for why he didn't come out of the director, and said; "Battalion Commander Yu, as I said just now, our army has not yet received the order from Shangfeng. Your army's practice is too deceitful! If any misunderstanding is caused and something unpleasant happens, your army will be fully responsible! ”
