Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 280 The Old Trick

And at this time.

Yang Sen's telegram has arrived.

Everyone in the Sichuan army looked at it and analyzed it carefully. Everyone agreed that Yang Sen's 20th Army retreated.

The 20th Army suffered more than [-] casualties during the daytime battle today.

This still occupies a favorable terrain, coupled with the situation that the troops have artillery assistance.

Only then did such a result come about.

Once you continue to fight the Japanese army, if you are entangled by the 114th Division.

That would be bad.

Now the 144th Division of the Sichuan Army has basically lost its combat effectiveness, and the troops urgently need to replenish soldiers.

The 145th and 146th divisions, and two separate brigades.

The last time we encircled and wiped out the Sixth Division and the Kunisaki Detachment, the troops also suffered a lot of casualties.

They are all in the recovery period now, and the troops are not fully staffed at all.

According to intelligence!

The Tenth Army of the Japanese Army has three divisions, one brigade, one heavy artillery brigade, one Independence Mountain Artillery Wing, and two reserve supplementary brigades.

The divisions are the 6th Division, the 18th Division, and the 114th Division.

A brigade or called a detachment - Kunisaki detachment.

The Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the Second Independence Hill Artillery Wing.

Reserve Supplementary 1st Brigade and Reserve Supplementary 2nd Brigade.

Although the Sichuan Army has now wiped out the Japanese Sixth Division and the Kunisaki Detachment, as well as the Field Heavy Artillery Brigade.

However, the Sichuan Army's own losses were also very large.

The 144th Division will definitely not participate in the battle in a short time.

Tenth Army now!
It also has two fully staffed divisions, plus two fully staffed reserve supplementary brigades.

The little devil's fighting power is still very strong.

The 20th Army could not continue to fight against the 114th Division in the mountainous areas.

at the same time!

The 144th Division of the Sichuan Army has also withdrawn from Jinshan County due to excessive casualties.

In Jinling!
Dai Chunfeng has already received the good news from the seventh theater.

Upon hearing the news, Dai Chunfeng quickly reported it to Principal Chang.

After hearing the news of the great victory in Jinshan County, Lao Chang was also a little upset.

Because, Sichuan Army and Gui Army have always been his heart disease.

This great victory was soon known to other generals of Jinling Command.

The Sichuan Army and the Gui Army achieved such a battle in the Jinshanwei area, and Bai Zhuge, Minister He, Xu Yongchang and others were also very happy.

Everyone gathers together.

Now they are all following the usual meaning and starting to discuss the rewards after this battle.

The first to speak was Bai Zhuge.

"According to the telegram from the Seventh War Zone."

"Guo Xunqi's 144th Division suffered heavy casualties, after asking for instructions."

"Now Jinshan County has been evacuated."

"In addition, the previous 145th and 146th Divisions, as well as Zhou Shaoxuan's 14th Brigade and Tian Zhongyi's 13th Brigade."

"These troops are still in the recovery period."

"After all, after they fought a bloody battle with the heavy Japanese army, the troops suffered a lot of casualties."

Immediately afterwards, Minister He introduced: "In addition, today is the 114th Division of the Japanese Army."

"There was a bloody battle with Yang Sen's 20th Army, and Yang Sen's troops suffered more than 3000 casualties."

Hear it!

The generals at the scene also became pensive.

The 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army in the Seventh Theater.

Now half of the troops are fighting the Japanese army.

Right now there are 147th Division and 148th Division, which have not yet had contact with the Japanese army.

Now the Tenth Army is heavily concentrated in the east of Taihu Lake.

The burden on the Sichuan Army is still heavy, and the task of the 23rd Army is quite arduous.

It's a pity that there are no troops to reinforce the seventh theater right now.

Immediately, Minister He looked at everyone.

He curled his lips, "After research, we decided to make the following decision regarding the Sichuan Army's 23rd Army."

"In view of the bravery of the Sichuan Army in combat, promote the position of commander of the troops who are advantageous in combat."

"The Sichuan Army's victory this time is due to the deputy commander-in-chief of the 23rd Army, Tang Shizun's command."

"His rank has been promoted to Lieutenant General plus the rank of General."

Bai Zhuge at the side saw that Lao He gave such a reward to the Sichuan Army.

He thought that before, Lao He had contact with Lao Chang, and he immediately understood.

This is playing with division and disintegration. I want to divide the Sichuan army as a whole.

The generals of the Sichuan Army inside were recruited one by one to complete the centralization of the Sichuan Army.

Bai Zhuge knew about Tang Shizun.

This person followed Marshal Liu in his early years, and he can be regarded as Liu Fucheng's earliest follower.

However, it is a pity that Tang Shizun's command ability is not very good.

When the major princes of the Sichuan Army were fighting, Tang Shizun hardly achieved good results.

Therefore, Fu Chang, Pan Wenhua, Fan Shaozeng, Yang Sen, Guo Rudong, Guo Xunqi, Sun Zhen and others in the Sichuan Army.

They also looked down on Tang Shizun, thinking that this person just caught up with the good time and entered the Sichuan Army under Marshal Liu.

If Marshal Liu didn't value him, he would have been pushed out by the Sichuan Army long ago.

Tang Shizun was obviously a breakthrough chosen by the Jinling High Command.

Now give Old Tang a promotion and a general rank.

This is obviously a deliberate attempt to divide the Sichuan Army.

After all, in the Sichuan army, Marshal Liu is the only general now.

Right now, support Tang Shizun, who is looked down upon by all the princes of the Sichuan Army.

Isn't it obvious that the various units of the Sichuan Army should be suspicious of each other and attack each other? !
And this lieutenant general will add the rank of general.

It is also a very common phenomenon in the current military system of the Republic of China.

Those who are awarded this title can enjoy the treatment of generals.

This approach is also an old trick, in order to win over the generals of the local powerful faction.

"That's it?" Xu Yongchang asked, "Except for promotion of military rank?"

"For the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army, is there no other reward?"

"And the Seventh Army of the Guangxi Clan!"

"This army, in cooperation with the Sichuan army, has also made great contributions."

"Isn't this an appropriate reward?"

Minister He said, "No more!"

"Now the Sichuan army is in the seventh war zone, fighting very well."

"Annihilating so many little devils, they also seized a lot of weapons and equipment."

"Currently the Songhu area is fighting fiercely, and the losses of various troops are also serious."

"For the Sichuan army's weapons and ammunition replenishment, large-scale replenishment is definitely not acceptable."

"I can only add a little bit as appropriate."

Speaking of this, Lao He paused for a while, and glanced at Bai Zhuge next to him.

"Health!"

"The Seventh Army of the Guangxi Clan, I remember that the weapons are well equipped, the new German-made rifles and submachine guns."

"We are very difficult now. Once the troops in the Songhu area are withdrawn, they will need large-scale supplies."

"So, the Seventh Army of the Guangxi Clan, please bear with it for now."

"Okay!" Bai Zhuge, who was silent, nodded slightly.

Glancing at Lao He, he knew that it must be the old man's instruction.

Right now, after the Sichuan Army came out of the battlefield in Jin Province, every time they fought against the little devil, it was the result of the fight.

It is really impossible to give the Sichuan army any more weapons and equipment. This must be the old man's nod.

And the Seventh Army of the Guangxi Clan is now in the Seventh War Zone.

The strength of the two local armies is not bad.

Rewarding weapons and equipment, I am afraid that the two troops will be stronger by then, and there is a risk of breeding tigers.

Bai Zhuge also knew very well in his heart that the Guangxi troops and the Sichuan army were both thorns in Lao Chang's heart.

Now that it is fully open to the outside world, it is not good to make big moves, and can only make some small moves.

Thus ended the meeting.

After the meeting was over, Lao He also went to the old man's office.

Soon!

Dai Chunfeng and Qian Dajun also came to Lao Chang's office.

The two of them were in a hurry, and it seemed that they had important information to report.
