Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 404 Principal Chang's Sweetheart

Now, the people of Yunnan Province have built the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway and put in their sweat and blood. Lu Han must lead the Yunnan Army to fight a good battle in the fifth theater.

He wants to repay the hard work of the people in Yunnan Province with the number of enemies wiped out, and let the people in Yunnan Province know that he worked for free and the soldiers of the Yunnan Army he supported did not disappoint them.

Finally, at this military meeting, the policy of blocking the south and attacking the north, encircling the points and attacking reinforcements, concentrating superior forces, and combining mobile warfare with positional warfare was adopted to annihilate the advancing Japanese troops.

Li Delin reported the negotiated battle plan to the Hankou High Command, and it was quickly approved.

The Jinling High Command in Hankou is also attaching great importance to this battle in the fifth theater. At present, there are great opinions on the Jinling High Command in the world.

First of all, Dean Wang, who was second only to Principal Chang, led his core subordinates to join the enemy. This made many countries in the world have different ideas about whether the Jinling Command could be stable and whether such a situation would happen again.

At the same time, as a local army, the Sichuan Army's combat results in the Songhu area and Jinyang area far exceeded that of the Central Army.

This has made many national media pay more and more attention to the Sichuan Army and have doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Central Army.

It was Lao Maozi from the north who first came into contact with the Sichuan Army.

The two parties signed a cooperation agreement, and also delivered some industrial equipment and Soviet equipment to the Sichuan Army through the Siberian Railway.

The United States, the British Isles, Gaul and other European countries are also sending representatives to Sichuan Province to negotiate with the Sichuan Army.

The rise of the Sichuan Army has put a lot of pressure on the Jinling Command, because the Central Army does not have any remarkable records, and it is really far behind the Sichuan Army.

For the encirclement and annihilation plan of the Fifth Theater, the Jinling High Command decided to increase the proportion of the Central Army's troops, allowing the Central Army to also participate in this battle and achieve a good record.

After Lao He received the order, he convened members of the command headquarters in Hankou to discuss which troops should be dispatched.

"Everyone, let's have a discussion! Which team will we send to participate in the fifth war zone's plan to encircle and wipe out the Japanese army?!"

After Minister He finished speaking, he glanced at everyone.

Xu Yongchang was the first to speak: "The Battle of Taierzhuang, this is to show that the army of the Republic of China can still fight tough battles and win battles."

"I think it is necessary to send elite forces. Du Yuming's 200th Division is very suitable. This division has two well-equipped tank regiments and an artillery battalion equipped with Soviet weapons."

However, soon after Xu Yongchang finished speaking, some people raised objections.

"Send the 200th division. I don't agree with this. We have built this division with great difficulty. If we take it out and confront the Japanese army head-on."

"It is estimated that after this battle, half of the equipment of this division may be lost. Moreover, the tank unit of the 200th Division is a living target when facing the Japanese army with aircraft!"

"That's... that's right... It's also reasonable. The 200th Division was built by us through hard work. If we can't fight a battle, it will be abolished."

There are still a lot of speeches like this, and everyone is unwilling to send the 200th division out, because the A-type adjustment German weapon division that has been established through hard work.

The two battles in Songhu and Jinling have been exhausted. This is a lesson from the past!Once the 200th Division goes to Taierzhuang, everyone will probably end up in the same situation as a Class A adjusted German mechanic.

The 200th Division is the first armored division just established and the first modernized division, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the Jinling Military Commission.

The 200th Division has just been established now, with 2 tank regiments, the 1149th and 1150th regiments, an automobile regiment, the 1151st regiment, an anti-tank artillery regiment, the 1nd regiment, a motorized infantry regiment, the 52nd regiment, a The division belongs to the artillery battalion.

It took a lot of hard work for the Jinling High Command to establish this army, and the Class A adjusted the German Armor after the destruction.

The members of the Military Commission suggested that an attack division or attack army should be established to serve as a new force to launch a must-kill against the Japanese army during the battle.

The 200th Division was established in this way. The combat characteristics of this unit are fierce firepower, complete configuration, mechanized marching of officers and soldiers, artillery traction and ammunition transportation are also completed by cars.

Compared with other troops marching on foot and lacking guns, guns and no cars, the 200th Division's maneuvering speed and ammunition carrying capacity are much greater.

During the Anti-Japanese War, in the eyes of the commander of the Japanese army, this unit was a real "tough bone", and it was very difficult to fight.

The tanks equipped by the 200th Division during this period were Vickers, Fiat, and Su T-26B. These tanks were all light tanks, and compared with the Japanese tanks, they were evenly matched.

The 52nd Anti-Tank Artillery Regiment consists of 3 anti-tank artillery battalions equipped with a total of 54 German-made 37mm anti-tank guns.

The power of these German-made 37mm anti-tank guns can penetrate the frontal armor of any Japanese tank and armored vehicle during this period, which is enough to show that the 200th Division is very well equipped.

The 1152nd Motorized Infantry Regiment and the 1151st Automobile Regiment complement each other. Each regiment also has a mortar company directly under it. These two regiments have four infantry battalions under their jurisdiction.

Each battalion has a heavy machine gun company equipped with 6 to 8 imitation Maxim heavy machine guns. Each battalion has four infantry companies under its jurisdiction, and each infantry company has 6 to 9 light machine guns.Infantry platoons also have weapons such as rifle grenades and grenades.

Such weapons and equipment cannot be found in the ranks of the National Revolutionary Army. Therefore, many senior officials in Jinling in Hankou are unwilling to let the 200th Division go to Taierzhuang.

Once the 200th Division is disabled in Taierzhuang, the loss is too great. It is not worthwhile for the Jinling Command!
Seeing this situation, Chen Cixiu stood up and said, "Everyone, once the army is established, it's time to go into actual combat and test its combat effectiveness."

"We hide the troops and don't let them participate in the battle. Once there is a problem, we can't find it. This is not conducive to the construction of the army."

Chen Cixiu's speech was supported by some main combatants, and everyone believed that actual combat is the only criterion for testing the combat effectiveness of troops.

Whether the 200th Division is a mule or a horse, it must be taken out for a walk.

The two sides did not reach an agreement at the military meeting in Hankou, and Lao He chose to report it.

After Minister He went to Principal Chang, Old Chang pondered for a moment before agreeing to send the 200th Division into the Battle of Taierzhuang.

The Jinling Command Headquarters in Hankou sent power back to the Fifth Theater Command and dispatched the 200th Division to the Taierzhuang Battle.

After receiving the telegram, the communications soldier immediately went to the meeting room and handed the telegram to Li Delin.

After reading the telegram, Li Delin looked at the big guy, "Good news... Everyone, I just received a telegram from Hankou."

"The high command decided to increase the strength of our fifth theater and send the 200th division to assist Taierzhuang. Let us fight hard and show the prestige of our Chinese soldiers."

In the conference room, everyone was a little surprised when they heard it.

Because, the 200th division is Principal Chang's darling, and now it is rushing to help Taierzhuang, which is beyond everyone's expectations.
