Glorious Mission 1937

()Chapter 160 Nine: Talents

They are completely immune to the combat power of Chen Feng's troops, Terauchi Shouichi and others. For troops like this, which are capable of annihilating imperial brigade-level combat units at every turn, they can only attribute it to the fact that the enemy is too powerful, and they will not think that they are too weak. .

However, in the face of the KMT's counterattack in World War II, Terauchi Shouichi could not turn a blind eye.I remember that during the Battle of Xinkou, it was also the World War II area of ​​China. At that time, Yan Xishan commanded more than 30 infantry divisions and two artillery brigades, but they could not withstand the strength of half of the Fifth Division. Abandon armor.In just half a year, the Chinese were able to take the initiative to launch a counterattack, which made Terauchi Shouichi feel the crisis.

In addition, when defending Beiping City, Terauchi Shouda also saw the power of the 61st Army's artillery, which was no worse than that of the North China Front Army, or even worse, so General Terauchi Shouda had to strengthen the artillery force.

In addition, the armored strength of the North China Front Army has also increased. Compared with the armor strength of the two du li armored vehicle brigades at the beginning of the establishment of the North China Front Army 4 months ago, the adjusted North China Front Army's strength in this regard Much stronger.Not only the First Army and the Second Army each have two armored regiments, but also each of the other divisions has a tank squadron. If all these tanks are gathered together, the number of them can completely form a reinforced armored division. .

In addition, regarding the issue of the affiliation of the Mongolian Army, the North China Front Army also received the full support of Emperor Hirohito. The previous Mongolian Army was directly subordinate to the Emperor's troops.Responsible directly to Emperor Hirohito.However, after adjustments, the Mongolian Army was not only assigned to the North China Front Army, but also the Fourth Division was also included in the battle order of the Mongolian Army.

这样一来驻蒙军麾下的部队就有第26师团和第四师团的以及du li混成第15旅团等多支部队，其总兵力多达5万多人。更重要的是驻蒙军直接管辖着伪蒙古军的4个骑兵师3个步兵师以及伪满zheng fu的2个骑兵师1个步兵师，算上这些部队的话，驻蒙军的总兵力将会达到恐怖的11万人，可以说是华北方面军最大的一个战术兵团。

Calculated in this way, the North China Front Army will have a huge force of more than 32 in a short period of time, which has doubled compared to before.But Shouichi Terauchi also knew that a plan was a plan.And actual combat power are two different things.If the base camp moves fast.The replenishment of the troops can be completed in two or three months, but if the speed is slow, I am afraid that the troops may not be able to form combat effectiveness in half a year.

At this time, the North China Front Army has only 61 to [-] troops, and the shortage of troops has reached a very critical juncture.If at this time the [-]st Army and the Central Yang Army of China.And that nasty Tubalu.If they unite to attack the front army.That would be dangerous.Therefore, for the North China Front Army, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous and bumpy.

The meeting finally reached a resolution.The front army shrank in an all-round way. In Shanxi, only Daixian, Fanshi, Pingyuan, Wutai, Dingxiang, and Xinkou counties were retained, and all other places were abandoned.At the same time, they gave up most of the land in Chahar, including Zhangjiakou, Xuanhua, Huai'an and other counties.In addition, Yu County and other places in Hebei also gave up all of them, and concentrated their forces mainly along Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road to ensure the safety of major cities in the Pingjin area and wait for domestic supplements.

In the end, the North China Front Army also decided to send people to secretly contact Chen Feng's troops to see if they could exchange the more than 2 overseas Chinese in the form of an exchange of prisoners of war, so as to reduce the pressure of domestic public opinion.

What the North China Front Army is doing Chen Feng has no way of knowing, but with the continuous shrinking of the Japanese Army's strength, Chen Feng also knows that the Japanese Army really has no intention of confronting him anymore, so Chen Feng's high-hanging heart is relieved down.

Now that the external threat has been eliminated for the time being, Chen Feng plans to enrich the interior of the administrative office in the next time.After this battle, Hunyuan, Guangling, Lingqiu, Yingxian, Shanyin, Yangyuan, Yuxian, Huai'an, Wanquan, Xuanhua, Chongli, Shangyi, Guyuan, and Chicheng were added to the 61st Army at once. , Kangbao 15 counties, and Zhangjiakou, a provincial capital city, plus the previous 12 counties and one city, the territory of the 40th Army Group has reached the scale of 2 cities and 27 counties, and the current No.40 Army Group is basically in control Not such a large area.

Killing 61 enemies and losing 10, the 5000st Army fought against the two major strategic groups of the Japanese North China Front Army and the Mongolian Army on its own. It is already very good to be able to achieve this result.Compared with the Japanese army's loss of nearly 4 foreign nationals and troops this time, the loss of 1 people under Chen Feng's command area is already insignificant. The ratio of casualties between the enemy and ourselves has reached 8:28. Time is unique.Chen Feng clearly remembered the statistics of the Sino-Japanese Anti-Japanese War decades later. In the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese Army suffered 5 casualties and one Japanese soldier was killed.For every 1 casualties paid by the squadron and the people, one Japanese soldier was killed.If the Japanese army only died of 87 people in the Chinese battlefield, the casualty ratio of Chinese civilians would double.

This statistic is nothing less than a shame and humiliation to the Chinese nation. During the Battle of Songshan in the Battle of West Yunnan during the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang army once besieged 10 Japanese bandits with an army of 1200, leaving us with an extremely tragic and tragic scene.According to the statistics of the battle report, only one person from the Japanese army broke through the siege, while our army killed more than 10000 people!

So the casualties of 5000 people are actually not a big deal, but still the same sentence, Chen Feng's troops and the North China Front Army have their own strengths and weaknesses. It has a profound heritage, and behind it is a capitalist country that has worked hard to develop for a century. It is undoubtedly the first in Asia in terms of comprehensive national strength.

Therefore, the North China Front Army's loss of 11 was nothing more than a serious injury, while the loss of Chen Feng's troops was only a quarter of that of others, but it was shattered.Before the outbreak of the battle, the total strength of Chen Feng's troops was more than 12, less than [-].And now the number of the troops has been expanded into a group army.But the total army strength is only over [-] people, so Chen Feng needs to enrich the army.

Chen Feng has no shortage of people now. Although the army has lost 5000 people, there are more than 40 student soldiers recruited from Tianjin, Zhangjiakou and other places. Including other soldiers, the No. 9 Army has more than 4 veterans In addition, there are more than [-] recruits.

In addition, the combat troops also captured more than 1 puppet troops, who can also be incorporated into the army after a little education.But recruits are recruits after all, just those student soldiers, if they don't have enough time to train.Pulling into the battlefield is nothing more than delivering food to the little devil.Nothing else.Just throwing a few bombs from an airplane can make these recruits turn into deserters.Not to mention their group of recruits, the three police brigades have been with Chen Feng for a while, and there are not many recruits who have never been to the battlefield.But just one assault by the half-baked paratroopers of the Japanese army almost scared the army to pieces.So this is also the reason why Chen Feng is unwilling to start a war with the Japanese army now.

For the time being, Chen Feng didn't plan to reorganize the army according to the organization given by the Nationalist Government.Now all the troops are in a state of serious shortage of manpower.Therefore, while Chen Feng ordered the troops to recruit new recruits, on the other hand, he gathered more than 4 new recruits to Daheishan for intensive training.

The recruit training is in charge of the first brigade of the Special Operations Division, and Chen Feng does not ask the Special Operations Team to train all these recruits into Special Operations members.But he asked the special operations team to teach these new recruits to become real soldiers in the shortest possible time, at least not to be scared to death by enemy planes on the battlefield.In fact, the highest mortality rate of recruits is the first time they go to the battlefield. As long as they survive the first day, the chances of survival for recruits are much higher.

Recruit training is one thing, another thing is that the training of the armored brigade and flight brigade must also be put on the agenda.After searching the whole army, Chen Feng really found a few talents, and there were three that Chen Feng liked the most, namely Lu Hanghai, Liu Jiani, and Li Zong who was born as an Orion.

Lu Hanghai, from Huainan, is 32 years old.A graduate of Baoding Military Academy, he first served in the Northwest Army, and after the Central Plains War, he joined Chiang Kai-shek with his chief and became the Central Yang Army.Later, he was appreciated by the German military adviser, Admiral De Milisi von Rath, and was assigned to study at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany in 1933. He was also the only overseas military officer who was not from the Whampoa system at that time.

In Germany, he majored in armor. In June 1935, along with 6 trainees from the Armor Section, he was incorporated into the Second Armored Division of the German Wehrmacht for an internship, and participated in the military operation that advanced into the Rhine Demilitarized Zone. In the following two years, he Served with the 354nd Panzer Division until May 1937.

In May 1937, the haze of the war had spread to the students studying in Germany, and the Nationalist Government ordered all the Ninth Academy of the Zhongyang Military Academy studying in Germany to return home early.

After returning to China, due to the different majors he studied and his background outside the Whampoa system, Lu Hanghai has never been able to get the important task of the Nationalist government. He was appointed battalion commander or regimental deputy, but Lu Hanghai was appointed as the company commander of the 66nd Battalion and 438st Company of the 3rd Regiment of the 2th Brigade of the 1th Division of the National Revolutionary Army. That is to say, after going abroad for three years, he is still standing still.

That's all, but the 66th Division is not a direct line of the national government, but a shelf division upgraded from the security regiment in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The whole division has only one brigade and one regiment, with a total strength of only 800 people.The most important thing is that the 66th Division has no armored vehicles and no tanks. Not to mention these things, there are not even a few heavy machine guns.

It is easy to imagine what will happen to such a unit after being pulled onto the battlefield. In the Battle of Songhu, the 66th Division participated in the battle to attack the big field. In just two days, this division had less than 1 soldiers left. People, even the division commander Xia Zongwei died in battle, and then the troops were incorporated by the No.17 Corps. Since all the main officers of the 66th Division had already fought, Lu Hanghai was appointed as the acting commander of the Remnant Corps.

After the Battle of Songhu, the troops returned to Guanzhong with the 17th Corps, and were subsequently downsized into a reinforced battalion, and Lu Hanghai was appointed as the battalion commander of the lieutenant colonel.

A few months ago, in order to win over Chen Feng, the Kuomintang government specially transferred two supplementary regiments from Shaanxi to the 61st Army, and Lu Hanghai's infantry battalion was among them.

After coming to the 61st Army, Lu Hanghai's reinforced battalion was directly dismantled and mixed into other troops, and his lieutenant colonel commander was also appointed as the commander of the third battalion of the 101th Regiment of the 307st Division, and his rank was reduced to a major again.

However, after several battles, Lu Hanghai finally discovered the extraordinary power of the 61st Army. He had seen the elite troops of the Japanese Army on the Songhu battlefield, and even fought against Fujita Susumu's Third Division. surprise.The Fifth Division, which is at the same level as the Third Division, is a special division of the Japanese Army, but the Fifth Division has repeatedly fought and failed in several battles.

The 61st Army is not only powerful in combat, but also gets along very well with the officers and soldiers, especially because there are not as many shady scenes in the Nationalist Army. For the second-class merit, the 2 oceans directly allocated by the military department were all in place on time, and there was no deduction or other phenomena. This is simply impossible in the Kuomintang army.

Not long ago, Chen Feng ordered to recruit young soldiers who could drive, educated and knowledgeable to the armored brigade and flight brigade. When he learned that the troops had seized a large number of tanks and armored vehicles from Tianjin this time, Lu Hanghai was extremely excited and volunteered to recommend himself to the military headquarters. , after Chen Feng's personal assessment, Lu Hanghai was directly transferred to the Armored Brigade, and served as the training director of the Armored Brigade and the head of the First Armored Regiment, and was promoted to colonel.

The situation of Liu Jiani is similar to that of Lu Hanghai. He is from Fengtian in Northeast China. He is 31 years old this year.After the September [-]th Incident, the Northeast Army fled without a fight, and all the air forces entered the customs.Liu Jiani is also among them.

Last year, Liu Jiani received news that because Ri himself wanted to build a prison in the suburbs of Fengtian, and the place he chose was where Liu Jiani's family was located, because the villagers refused to move, the village was razed to the ground overnight by Ri himself. , Liu Jiani's parents and more than 700 people in the village all disappeared.

After hearing the bad news, Liu Jiani quietly escaped from the Northeast Army with two guns, and rushed to the northeast from Guangzhou with two brothers.But before they could rush back to the Northeast, the Anti-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way. Coupled with the retreat of the Nationalist government, the Japanese army occupied most of North China in a short period of time, and the road to the Northeast was cut off. Under such circumstances, Liu Jiani had no choice but to join Chen Feng's army with his two brothers.

Because he was a deserter, Liu Jiani did not dare to say that he had been a soldier before, so he had just been appointed captain and company commander after half a year.Later, when he heard that the military department was recruiting pilots, he bravely signed up. Unfortunately, he was recognized by Chen Feng in the first training.

The imaginary punishment did not come, but what came was Chen Feng's appointment, that is to say, Captain Liu Jiani was promoted to Major of the National Revolutionary Army, and served as the captain of the 61st Army Aviation Brigade, responsible for the training of the aviation brigade.
