Invincible from the sword

Chapter 316 Are You Upsetting Something?
Although Zhang Lei's Temporary Regiment is now much weaker than when it was in Myanmar, its strength can be expanded.

During the Burma campaign, Chen Cixiu was shocked by Zhang Lei's temporary regiment.

Five thousand troops can annihilate a field division of the Japanese army. This kind of super terrifying combat power opened his eyes.

Although Zhang Lei's Temporary Regiment has only 1000 people, according to his observations, a brigade of the Japanese Army is more than enough.

Although time is tight now, it should not be difficult for Zhang Lei to expand his troops to 5000 people.

Now that Wuhan has just come into my hands, the people's enthusiasm for the war of resistance is very high.

It is entirely feasible for Zhang Lei to conscript in the three towns of Wuhan.

As for weapons and equipment...

The old man in Shancheng has agreed to him and will send him a batch immediately.

Although it is not a beautiful machine, the quality is not bad.

All the rifles are medium-sized.

Besides that, there are quite a few Czech ones.

That's it.

As for the other two corps, Chen Cixiu had no idea.

Commander Luo's Wuhan Garrison Corps was composed mainly of his No.19 Army.

Combat power is so-so.

During the first battle of Changsha, the casualties were not small.

Although supplements have been made now, the overall combat effectiveness is still a little bit worse than that of Tiger Cub's First Corps.

And to be honest, Commander Luo's command ability is average.

Although he was in charge of commanding the expeditionary force when he was in Myanmar, Chen Cixiu knew that Zhang Lei basically proposed Myanmar's plan to fight the Japanese army.

This person wins in stability.

As for the commander of the Second Corps, the old man Shancheng appointed Commander Zhang.

Commander Zhang is a veteran in the national army.

He has fought many battles.

And just like Tiger Cub, when he hears about beating the Japanese army, he is full of energy.

However, the old man in Shancheng was always a little cold towards him.

Therefore, there are not many main forces in his army.

Most of them are local troops.

The combat effectiveness is uneven.

Therefore, Chen Cixiu's idea was to place Commander Zhang's Second Corps behind the Tiger Cub's First Corps.

Tiger Boy went with Zhang Lei.

Today's Tiger Boy doesn't treat Zhang Lei as an outsider at all.

In Tiger Boy's heart, Zhang Lei is more important than the two armies.

Although Zhang Lei is only a regiment leader now, his regiment leader is more powerful than the division commanders in his own army.

At least with the commander.

Among his troops, the most able to fight is the Tenth Army.

This is the elite of the national army.

All Su Ji.

There are not many such troops in the national army.

Zhang Lei's Temporary Regiment is on the same level as the Tenth Army in terms of offensive capabilities.

The problem is that Zhang Lei's temporary regiment only has a thousand troops.

The Tenth Army has 2 people.

Twenty to one!
How does this compare?
It is a pity for Tiger Boy that Zhang Lei's current temporary group has been split.

If it maintains [-] troops as it did in Burma, its combat effectiveness will be able to support at least four armies.

When in Burma, Zhang Lei's temporary regiment was able to wipe out a division of the Japanese army without the help of other troops.

This ability, wherever it is placed, is unique.

On the way to the Chief of the Ninth War Zone, Hu Zai suggested that Zhang Lei expand the size of the temporary regiment.

After all, 1000 people are too few.

Tiger Boy said to Zhang Lei: "Zhang Lei, I suggest that your temporary regiment maintain its strength at around 5000.

Only in this way can the combat effectiveness of your troops be truly utilized.

After all, no matter how powerful your troops are, there are only 1000 of them.

I admit, your thousand soldiers are very powerful.

All elite.

But in the end there were still too few people.

Such a scale is the strength of an ordinary regiment.

Hearing what Tiger Boy said, Zhang Lei's eyes grew big.

You are doing something.

As for the old man, his heart is not as big as the eye of a needle.

You should know better than me.

Don't forget, I am the Eighth Route Army!

The old man Shancheng gave us the establishment of the Eighth Route Army, only three divisions.

Still a class C teacher.

If you let the old man in Shancheng do it for me as a teacher, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
Zhang Lei quickly shook his head: "Mr. Xue, you must never send this telegram.

Otherwise, you, the commander of the corps, will probably be the end of the line.

If you still want to continue commanding troops to fight the Japanese army, you'd better not worry about my business.

I know my credit.

If I am the direct descendant of the old man in Shancheng, then based on my merits, I can be equal to you, Chief Xue.

But don't forget, I am the Eighth Route Army.

The old man in Shancheng has always had a prejudice against our Eighth Route Army.

Why did the old man in Shancheng only give me the rank of lieutenant colonel?

You should be able to see this.

After the Burma campaign ended, my Temporary Regiment split up because of this consideration.

You Chief Xue will never watch my troops be wiped out by the old man in Shancheng, will you? "

Tiger Cub choked a little helplessly at Zhang Lei's words.

Zhang Lei was right.

Although it is now unanimously external, the entire national army has always been hostile to the Eighth Route Army.

Not only the old man in Shancheng, but also the tiger boy, didn't he also guard against Zhang Lei at the beginning?
It's just that after several big battles, after Tiger Boy got to know Zhang Lei, the barrier in his heart was eliminated.

The old man in Shancheng will not eliminate this barrier.

But if Zhang Lei's temporary regiment has been maintained at such a small scale, it is really outrageous.

In any case, this is fighting the Japanese army.

Anti-Japanese.

You can't stop developing the army because of the suspicion of the old man in Shancheng, can you?
So Tiger Boy suggested to Zhang Lei that this army should be expanded or expanded.

Not really.

After the battle is over, just split it up.

Anyway, Zhang Lei's troops have done this in Myanmar.

Again, nothing.

Zhang Lei nodded.

Tiger Boy was right.

His temporary regiment is indeed a little less troops now.

Because of the lack of troops, he always couldn't let go of fighting the Japanese army.

no way.

No soldier is flawed.

Zhang Lei met the legendary Chen Cixiu for the first time in the Chief's Department of the Ninth War Zone.

He is tall.

skinny.

Big-eyed.

When Chen Cixiu saw Zhang Lei, he was shocked.

Although he knew that Zhang Lei was very young, he was too young, right?
For Zhang Lei, Chen Cixiu did not dare to underestimate him.

From the bottom of his heart, Chen Cixiu was a bit ashamed.

Comparing with Zhang Lei, he felt that his previous achievements could not be achieved at all.

This Zhang Lei has never lost a battle since he went south.

He is such an awesome person that even the Lighthouse Country wants to pull over.

The leader of the Lighthouse Kingdom, Wheelchair Luo and their naval commander Nestor, highly respect Zhang Lei.

Before Chen Cixiu flew over from the old man in Shancheng, he got the latest news from the old man in Shancheng.

After the battle in Wuhan, Zhang Lei will go to the Lighthouse Country again.

Command the troops of the lighthouse country to fight against the Japanese army.

Damn.

This is a great honor.

Command the troops of the Lighthouse Kingdom...

How awesome is this for the Lighthouse Country to make such a decision?

Do you believe it?
And, it's not the first time.

Zhang Lei has already done it once.

Moreover, the Pacific Theater Staff Group of the Lighthouse Country is of a very high level.

All of them are elite.

The future senior commanders of the Beacon Country will all come from the staff group.

It's a badge of honor in itself.

Zhang Lei was the first foreigner to join the Staff Group of the Pacific Theater of the Lighthouse Country.

But this time it was even more awesome. The old man in Shancheng told him that the position that Wheelchair Luo gave Zhang Lei this time was the deputy head of the staff group.

And the chief of staff is Stilwell.

Stilwell!

This guy is completely Zhang Lei's little fan.

Let him be the head of the staff group, and any fool can see that it is a cover for Zhang Lei.

Chen Cixiu will not accept it.

Horse's.

When I was young like Zhang Lei, I seemed to be the team leader.

But the gap with Zhang Lei is too big.

Also the team leader, why are you so good?

In the chief's department of the Ninth War Zone, an Eighth Route Army suddenly came, and everyone in the chief's department was stunned.

Chen Cixiu's Ninth War Zone Commander's Department was newly established.

It is different from Tiger Cub's original Ninth Theater Commander.

Now Tiger Boy's Ninth War Zone Commander's Department has become the Chief's Department of the First Corps.

In the commander's department of the Ninth War Zone, several female soldiers in charge of sending telegrams saw little stars in their eyes when they looked at Zhang Lei.

No way, Zhang Lei is too handsome.

Zhang Lei saluted Chen Cixiu: "Hello, Mr. Chen."

After Chen Cixiu returned the gift to Zhang Lei, he couldn't wait to ask: "Zhang Lei, what do you think about the gathering of the Japanese troops dispatched from Central China to Xuzhou?"

Tiger Cub was stunned for a moment.

It seems that Chen Cixiu is really in a hurry this time.

No hurry.

Chen Cixiu also had no choice.

He really wants to fight a turnaround in Wuhan.

But this time, it was obviously more difficult than last time.

Because until now, his troops in the ninth war zone have not yet been in place.
