Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 288 The fellow meets fellow
Although the 43rd Army is known as an army.

However, there is only one division of troops-the 26th division, the division commander Liu Yuqing, and the deputy division commander Liu Guangji.

The 43th Division under the 26rd Army.

After entering Songhu, he succeeded Song Xilian's 36th Division in the defense of Dachang Town.

At that time, the 36th Division Commander had been fighting hard for a long time.

Song Xilian has been asking the theater commander Gu Mosan for reinforcements.

After the 26th Division came to Songhu, the war zone transferred it to Dachang Town.

The Sichuan Army, which had just arrived on the battlefield, received the order before it had time to catch its breath.

These Sichuan Army soldiers who fought for the country did not complain.

It is possible to replace the friendly defense line, but a map is necessary for fighting.

Without a map, isn't this just a blind eye?

The reply from the theater command to the Sichuan Army was to find a solution by itself.

Fortunately, a staff officer of the 43rd Army of the Sichuan Army graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and learned that he had a classmate in the First Army of Hushoushan.

Immediately, using his classmate relationship, he obtained a military map from Hu Shoushan's First Army.

After the withdrawal of the 36th Division of the Central Army.

The Sichuan army took over the defense, and the field was flat and flat, all of which were open land, and there was no danger to defend at all.

The 26th Division has only 1 people. Compared with the 36th Division of the Central Army, it does not matter whether it is weapons or equipment.

Or the marksmanship of the soldiers, as well as the quality of the soldiers, are much worse.

In this way, the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army, relying on inferior weapons, relied on broadswords and grenades.

Fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese army in Dachang Town.

After a bloody battle for a week, the Japanese attack was successfully blocked.

The casualties of the whole division were 70.00%, of which two regiment commanders were killed and thirteen battalion commanders were killed.

The platoon leader and company commander killed more than 250 people.

Moreover, the 26th Division was also one of the five divisions with the best record in the Songhu Battle.

To know!
The 43rd Army went to Songhu without changing their costumes. It is already quite good to be able to achieve such results.

The 43rd Army that withdrew from Songhu had only more than [-] people, and now it is besieged by the Japanese army in Songjiang Town.

The 43rd Army, only more than [-] people have arrived in Wuhu.

at this time!
Guo Rudong saw so many people coming to greet him.

His tears couldn't help falling down.

As the saying goes, when a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears.

Since his division left Songjiang Town from Songhu, Yang Sen's 20th Army withdrew to Wanshen.

The 43rd Army has no hometown in Songhu.

Now the entire army in the Songhu area is retreating.

The 43rd Army completed the task of defending Songjiang and withdrew to the Seventh Theater.

Seeing so many generals of the Sichuan Army, and coming all the way, met other units of the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army.

The Sichuan army in the seventh war zone, with strong soldiers and horses, put on new-style cotton clothes one by one.

Lao Guo grabbed the hands of the generals of the Sichuan Army and wept bitterly.

The 43rd Army fought terribly in Songhu, with a total of 1 troops, and now it has arrived in the seventh theater.

There are only more than two hundred people, and the other Pao brothers have all stayed in Shanghai.

Guo Xunqi patted Guo Rudong on the shoulder: "Brother."

"I can understand how you feel."

"The 144th Division in my hand was also disabled in Jinshan County."

"The whole division now has less than 3000 people."

"However, this time we came out of Sichuan, our Sichuan Army taught the little devil a hard lesson."

"It's all worth it if you play with prestige."

At this time, Yu Hua stood up.

"Commander Guo!"

"I've already contacted the commander-in-chief before."

"Our 23rd Army has brought five supplementary regiments to the Seventh Theater."

"The 43rd Army was organized into two supplementary regiments and used this as the backbone to build up the army's shelf."

"Moreover, the commander-in-chief also gave special permission that the 43rd Army can expand its recruitment."

"It's just that Jinling didn't give us an establishment, and the commander organized and trained two divisions in the name of the Chuankang Appeasement Office."

"So, the 43rd Army can now train three infantry divisions."

"Each division, the commander-in-chief said, 3000 people!"

"Now that we are out of the province to fight, the commander asked us to solve the problem of soldiers on the spot."

Hearing this, Guo Rudong laughed happily: "Okay!"

"The commander-in-chief's move is good. The Jinling High Command doesn't give us an organization."

"We can expand our troops in the name of the Chuankang Appeasement Office!"

"In war, there will naturally be sacrifices."

"The troops of the Chuankang Appeasement Administration can be counted as supplementary troops."

Guo Xunqi looked at Yu Hua: "Brother Yu."

"Where's my 144th Division?"

"What did the master say?"

"Aren't you going to add some soldiers?"

Yu Hua grinned: "Brother Guo!"

"The 144th division under your command still has 3000 people."

"The commander-in-chief said that if you want to replenish soldiers, you should recruit them yourself."

"At that time, the military salary and equipment will naturally be given to you."

"Don't think about the remaining three supplementary regiments of the commander-in-chief."

Hear it!

The generals of the Sichuan army at the scene also burst out laughing.

The 23rd Army, five supplementary regiments brought to the Seventh Theater.

Although there is no official establishment, the combat effectiveness of these five supplementary regiments is not bad at all.

In Sichuan Province, it was also trained by Marshal Liu himself.

If it wasn't for Jinling's refusal to provide an establishment, Marshal Liu would have wanted to expand it into an independent division.

Guo Xunqi clapped his hands, "OK!"

"Since the commander-in-chief has spoken, I will not be polite."

"I'm recruiting troops in the Seventh Theater now."

The 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army came to the Seventh Theater. If soldiers were recruited from Sichuan Province, they would come to supplement the troops.

This consumes energy and is a bit uneconomical. After all, it is thousands of miles away.

Yu Hua suggested to Marshal Liu that the 23rd Army should recruit soldiers in the seventh theater.

Moreover, the Sichuan Army can also be expanded on a large scale.

Since Jinling didn't provide an establishment, Yu Hua asked Marshal Liu to expand the troops in the name of the Chuankang Appeasement Office.

Anyway, when the time comes to ask the higher-ups, Marshal Liu can easily say that this is a supplementary force for the Sichuan Army.

When the Sichuan army went out to fight in Sichuan, Jinling had been in arrears with the salaries of the two armies.

The military pay is still settled by the major princes of the Sichuan Army.

Now, Yuhua, Sichuan Province has let foreigners act as agents and opened many factories.

Marshal Liu and all the princes of the Sichuan Army also invested in shares.

Many generals have also made money, plus, the arsenal in Sichuan Province.

Able to continuously produce equipment.

Now the Sichuan Army maintains the strength of three group armies.

Still afford it!
Marshal Liu agreed to Yu Hua's suggestion.

Anyway, now the Sichuan Army in the seventh theater has the final say!
Immediately, Yu Hua looked at the other generals present.

Also tell them that after the casualties of the troops, recruit troops on the spot and supplement them.

The commander let them develop on their own, recruit as many as they can.

Marshal Liu can solve part of the equipment problem, and they can solve the rest by themselves.

What kind of guns, food, clothes, medicines, etc., as long as they can be obtained.

Everyone does it, if there is too much, the commander-in-chief is happy, if there is too little, the commander-in-chief will scold his mother.

If you don't get it, Marshal Liu will dismiss you and go home to pick up the child.

Anyway!

There is one, that is, you can't bully the common people.

The generals of the Sichuan Army who received the order were all laughing out loud.

The factories in Sichuan Province, they have made money, and now they can buy equipment if they have money.

The commander-in-chief can solve some of the equipment, so spend money to buy the rest of the equipment!

that's it!
The Sichuan army in the seventh war zone also began to recruit troops screaming.

Each division and two independent brigades of the Sichuan Army also continued to replenish troops.

Because, since Songhu withdrew its troops, from November 11th to November 8th, Shanghai and Shanghai fell.

The Seventh War Zone was attacked by the Tenth Army of the Japanese Army and the dispatched troops from Shanghai.

The troops suffered heavy casualties.
