Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 190: Preparing for the Military Parade

Under Chen Feng's urging, the establishment of the Chahar provincial government quickly started in full swing. With the previous agreement, although the three parties continued to quarrel, none of them dared to go too far in the big aspect, otherwise It will be resisted by the other two parties.

By the end of March, the Chahar Provincial Government, the three administrative district governments and 3 county governments under its jurisdiction had all been formed.In addition to Chen Feng, the provincial chairman, the top officials of the Chahar provincial government also include provincial vice-chairmen Chen Binggong, Kang Ze, and Deng Xiaoping.In addition, the ministers of the six major ministries that have attracted much attention also have their own names. Fang Zhou, Minister of Industry, Deng Wenyi, Minister of Commerce, Zhou Chunquan, Minister of Agriculture, Li Yunchang, Minister of Supervision, Wang Qingya, Minister of Propaganda and Education, and Ye Heli, Minister of Armed Forces Na.

Since there was no Japanese harassment, the establishment of the Chahar provincial government went surprisingly smoothly. The old man and Yehelina were in charge of Xinghe, and Chen Feng went to meetings to raise opinions at the beginning, and then he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the general affairs of the army. Went in training.As for the training of government officials and the conferment of titles, they are all sponsored by the presidium. Although quarrels were inevitable during the process, the final result is still very good.

Another month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the end of April is the beginning of spring. Although it is not yet time to plant seeds, various departments have begun to prepare for this year's spring planting.With a large number of political officials being dispatched to various banner counties, the big machine in Chahar Province finally began to operate normally, and a large number of telegrams asking for instructions were sent to Xinghe every day.The members of the presidium were so busy that they were crazy. Even Kang Ze and others seemed to have forgotten to compete with Deng Xiaoping and others all of a sudden, and they were almost exhausted.

They were tired, and Chen Feng himself was not relaxed. Although the Japanese army did not come to make trouble during this period, it did not mean that the Japanese did not have small actions in private.With the gradual expansion of the intelligence department, the ability to collect intelligence has also gradually improved. During this period of time, a large amount of information about the North China Front Army was sent to Xinghe.

During this period, the Japanese army moved frequently. By April 4, the original eight divisions of the North China Front Army had all recovered.Moreover, it has also expanded to the huge strength of 25 divisions and 11 brigades.Leaving aside the puppet army, there are more than 7 regular Japanese field troops alone.

另外日军这段时间还大力扩充伪军的数量，伪蒙古军在经受过陈锋所部的打击之后，原来的3个步兵师4个骑兵师只剩下2个步兵师2个骑兵师了。总兵力不足3万人。但是经过日军的大力协助。在短短3个月内。伪蒙古军的数量就从3万人迅速膨胀到了8万人。除了德王等人在归绥、包头等城市强行抓的2万余人外，剩下的3万人都是日军从江南战场俘虏的**俘虏。

In view of the rapid decline in the number of puppet troops, the law and order in the rear occupied area has deteriorated.The Japanese army had to select those weak bones from those destitute prisoners to enrich the puppet army.Not only the strength of the puppet Mongolian army increased sharply, the Japanese army also formed a puppet security army in North China, with the traitor Qi Xieyuan as the commander-in-chief, and the puppet army under his command had more than 13 people in 5 brigades.In addition, the Japanese army also formed three traitor troops, the Xingya Allied Army, the East Asia Alliance Rescue and Appeasement Guards.Bai Fengxiang, the commander-in-chief of the East Asian Alliance to rescue Japan, has three puppet regiments under his jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than 2 people.Ding Qichang, commander of the appeasement garrison, has three puppet brigades under his jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than 7 people.For a time, there were many puppet army numbers in North China, and there were all kinds of monsters.

Chen Feng knew that the little devil was accumulating strength. In just three months, the Japanese puppet army expanded from 18 to 47, and the total force more than doubled. This made Chen Feng very worried.

However, the No.40 Army is not idle, and all the troops of the No.40 Army have been training desperately and expanding their numbers in the past few months.Not only did the troops regain their vitality, but their combat effectiveness also increased a lot.

On April 4, the No.26 Army Command issued a notice that a division and brigade level officer meeting would be held in Jining two days later. All senior division and brigade level officers must attend unless there are special reasons.

At 28 o'clock in the morning on the 222th, the generals of the [-]nd Division in Jining gathered together. Nuoda's conference room was full of officers. There were lieutenant generals, major generals, and several colonels, and there were no more.

"Treading" Chen Feng, who was dressed in a lieutenant general's uniform, walked into the conference room under the protection of two special forces members.

"stand up"

"Main seat"

Chen Feng said lightly: "Sit"

"Are they all there?"

Chief of Staff Yang Yi got up and replied: "Go back to the main seat, everyone is here."

"Now that we are all here, let's start. There are 4 things to call everyone here today. Let's talk about the first thing. Although the Japanese army didn't come to disturb us during this time, they didn't stay idle. According to the investigation by the intelligence department, the number of Japanese troops in North China has increased rapidly, so we must pay attention to it, and let Hua Rong tell you about the changes in the Japanese army." Chen Feng said.

Hua Rong was not hypocritical. After hearing Chen Feng's roll call, he quickly stood up and said: "After the anti-four-way siege campaign, the Japanese army's strength was greatly reduced, and they had to abandon some counties in Chahar, Shanxi, and Hebei. But after three months Now the strength of the North China Front Army has been strengthened in all aspects. According to the investigation of our intelligence department, the Japanese army has more than 32.5 regular troops in North China, and there are nearly 15 puppet troops. The specific distribution is as follows: : There are 2 divisions and an independent mixed brigade in the Suicha area with a total of 5 people, and another 8 puppet troops. The three divisions and 2 brigades of the Japanese First Army stationed on the line from Xinkou to Baoding in Shanxi Province totaled 8.5 In addition, there are nearly 3 puppet troops. In the Pingjin area, there are 3 divisions and 2 brigades directly under the Japanese North China Front Army, with a total of 11 people. In addition, there are more than 5000 puppet troops. The Japanese Army No. There are more than 3 soldiers in 2 divisions and 8 brigades of the Second Army, and there are more than 2 puppet troops, and the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in North China has exceeded 47.”

As soon as Hua Rong's words fell, there was a buzz in the meeting room. The news was really shocking. What kind of concept is 47? Three months ago, there were less than 40 people left in the regular army of the No.9 Army The army has developed rapidly in the past three months, but the officers present do not think that the army can grow to more than 40 in a short period of time, not to mention the No. 40 army, even if all the squadrons in North China are combined. It is not much more than the strength of the Japanese army.

Although it is said that there are 15 puppet troops indiscriminately, the 32 Japanese troops are still a powerful force. Now most of the territory in North China has fallen, and the garrisons are only the second theater and the fifth theater. Part of the troops have been withdrawn. As for the first theater, it has withdrawn from Hebei to Henan.Now there are about 30 troops in the second war zone, and about 20 troops in the fifth war zone, plus the 40+ troops of the No.10,000 Army, the total number of troops is no more than 70, 50 vs. 70, it looks like a squadron It has an advantage in terms of military strength, but if it fights for combat effectiveness, the Japanese army will definitely not be afraid of the squadron.

"It's all quiet. I know it's a big trouble this time. Although the Japanese army didn't launch an attack on our army, they surrounded our army strategically. We now have the Mongolian Army in the north, the Japanese First Army in the south, and the Japanese army in the east. There is a unit directly under the North China Front Army, so we must always be vigilant and beware of the Japanese army suddenly launching a full-scale attack."

Then Chen Feng continued: "So the second thing is to talk about the strategic layout of our army. It's been three months. Let me take a look at your respective achievements. Take the administrative district as the unit and compare the military's strategic layout. Can you tell me about the equipment of the soldiers?"

The 101st Division has always been the vanguard of Chen Feng's troops, so this time it was still Li Wensheng who reported first: "Boss, our 101st Division has recovered after more than three months of development, and now the 101st Division has 9 regiments under its jurisdiction. The strength is 26212. The Jining garrison brigade has 4 regiments with a total strength of 12348. In addition, there are 14 militia brigades and 37 militia squads in the Yanbei administrative region, with a total strength of more than 8000. Now there are 5 German armed forces in the army , 1 new rifle regiment, 1 machine gun regiment, and [-] heavy artillery regiment."

After Li Wensheng sat down, Li Yifeng, the commander of the 222nd Division, got up and said: "The nine regiments under our department are all full, and there are currently 9 soldiers. The troops under the Taolin Police Brigade are also fully recruited. Now the brigade has There are 25476 corps, 4 cavalry regiment, 1 artillery regiment and 20780 engineering regiment, with a total strength of 5 people. Our department has 1 German weapon regiments, [-] new rifle regiment, and [-] machine gun regiment and [-] heavy artillery regiment.”

“独立77师下辖9个步兵团全部满额，现总兵力为24198人。兴和警备旅现在共有兵员11975人。我部现在共有德械团5个，新式步枪团1个，重炮团2个，机炮团2个。”

"The teacher's 9 regiments are all fully staffed, with a total strength of 25431 people. There are 3 German weapon regiments under his jurisdiction, and one regiment each for machine guns and heavy artillery."

"The cavalry group has 9 cavalry regiments under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of 22777 people."

"The Guard Brigade has 2 infantry regiments and an artillery regiment with a total strength of 11254."

"The air defense brigade has 2 air defense regiments with a total strength of 6231 people."

"The armored brigade has two armored regiments under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of 2 troops and 7402 tanks."

"The aviation brigade has a fighter brigade and a bomber brigade under its jurisdiction, with a total of 98 fighter planes and 3100 soldiers, including 388 students and 2712 ground crews."

After everyone reported, Chen Feng said with a smile: "Yes, I am very satisfied with this result. There are a total of 19 troops, plus the 4 new recruits trained in Daheishan and the small troops scattered all over the place, our strength is quite a lot. , although it is not as good as the 32 elite of the Japanese army, there are still 23 to 4. When the number increases, I will check the quality. The strength of the troops has almost doubled in three months. Therefore, the group army headquarters decided to hold a military parade in Zhangjiakou on May 5. Each division and brigade must send out an elite infantry regiment. In addition, the group army also plans to deploy cavalry, artillery, engineering, and combat regiments to form an equipment square. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party as well as consuls of various countries will be invited to watch the ceremony.” (To be continued..)
