Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 396: To alert the snake

This is just a good wish. It is now April 1937, and the Japanese troops in the Pingjin area are mobilized abnormally, and various military exercises are held frequently. Various signs indicate that the Japanese army will definitely take action in the Pingjin area in 1937.

Seeing Tang Qiuli busy day and night, everyone felt a lot haggard. Mei Ting saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. In addition to cooking various nourishing meals for him every day and fulfilling her responsibilities as a wife, she also took the initiative to

Undertaken some tasks within my ability.

To reduce the burden on her husband and put forward her own opinions and suggestions on how to deal with some things, sometimes Tang Qiu joked that he was marrying a wife, half a chief of staff, and he couldn't help but

Not busy, Tang Qiuli now has a big business and a big business.

The troops currently commanded by Tang Qiuli are composed of five parts. Its initial force is the North China Army Division with about 150,000 people, the 29th Army with more than 50,000 people, the troops of the Central Military System with 200,000 people, and the former Northeastern Army.

There are about 140,000 troops under the Northeast Advance Command of the ** Division reorganized by the army, and there are more than 54,000 troops in the Shaanxi Provincial Local Security Brigade and the Yellow River Defense Brigade reorganized from the 17th Route Army.

In total, the troops directly under the Yellow River Basin Theater Command have 600,000 troops. This does not include the Jin army of Yan Xishan in Shanxi and the Lu army of Han Fuju in Shandong. If they are both included, there are probably more than one million people.

Qiu Li now controls more than half of the military power of the National Government.

Tang Qiuli looked at the force statistics table and was stunned. This number shocked him. With so many mouths, just eating was a big problem. The 200,000 Central Army troops can be said to be fed and drank by the National Government.

The remaining troops have to take care of their own food. No wonder it is said that raising soldiers means burning money. It is difficult to raise soldiers without money.

Zhang Quan, the director of the logistics department of the ** division, was busy at this time. His right-hand assistant Zhou Yushan was transferred to stand in the way, and suddenly there were so many more mouths. Within a few days, Zhang Quan sent telegrams one after another to Tang Qiuli for help.

The Logistics Department of the **Division is extremely busy now. One person is working for three people, but it still can't be opened at all. He asked the division commander to send more manpower to the Logistics Department. There was no other way. Tang Qiuli had to choose from a department that was not as busy as the business.

The Logistics Department of the Border Guard District Headquarters transferred a large number of officers to strengthen the Logistics Department of the ** Division.

Finally, Tang Qiuli decided to establish the Yellow River Basin Theater Joint Service Command, which would be responsible for the logistics supply and material transfer of all directly affiliated troops in the theater. Zhang Quan, the logistics director of the ** Division, also served as the commander of the Joint Service Command. In this way, Zhang Quan

He was also promoted and became the forage officer of all the troops.

When the letter of appointment arrived at the Huangyadong base area, Zhang Quan was shocked. Good guy, the division commander is so ruthless. He threw all the things of eating, dressing, and using guns and cannons at the hands of more than 600,000 people.

Himself, if he goes to meditate, he still has to exhaust himself to death?

The five parts of the army are five types of logistics supplementary systems. Which one should be given priority and where to focus are all things to be considered when necessary. He is afraid that he cannot do it himself. In addition, he has another concern. In the past, it was all about the logistics of the ** division.

Son, the commanders of each brigade are all veterans for many years, so they are not so picky. There are so many systems now, and if you are a little careless, big problems will occur.

Zhang Quan tactfully submitted his resignation to the division commander and asked someone to serve as the commander of the Joint Service Command. Since he couldn't do this job, he would rather serve as the deputy director of the ** Division's Logistics Department.

Soon, Tang Qiuli received a call back, and he was given two options. One was to resign, take off his military uniform immediately, and return to his hometown to retire, the other was to accept the position of commander of the Joint Service Command.

Zhang Quan really couldn't bear to leave the army, so he had no choice but to rush to the shelves, bite the bullet and take office, and set out to establish the command organization of the Joint Service Command. Tang Qiuli's pressure actually forced the army to have a competent person who was immersed in research and suitable for the logistics needs of the anti-Japanese battlefield. Logistics commander, the logistics system commanded by Zhang Quan was indispensable for the army's victory in many major battles.

In addition, there are good things that come to our door. After the Xi'an Incident, the former Northeast Army's 103rd Division Shen Ke's Department, the 10th Cavalry Division Tan Zixin's Department, the Sixth Artillery Brigade Huang Yong'an's Department, and the Eighth Artillery Brigade Qiao Fang's Department The Ministry of Military Affairs publicly sent out a message announcing its separation from the Northeast Army system and severing relations with Zhang Xueliang.

Zhang Xueliang was very sad when the power was turned on. "Although the postal department belongs to the Northeast Army system, it is also a part of the National Revolutionary Army. Today, Zhang Xueliang and others ignored the national law and did the heinous and unethical thing of detaining the leader. As revolutionary soldiers, we categorically We cannot join in the rebellion and join the rebels. We now declare to sever all relations with the Northeastern Army and return to the Nationalist Government. We are willing to be the vanguard in the crusade against the rebels."

It is said that Zhang Xueliang was silent for a long time after watching the power supply. He did not expect that his old subordinates would stab him at such a critical moment. Among them, the commander of the 6th Artillery Brigade, Huang Yongan, was promoted by himself. , he is just a small battalion commander.

These rebels originally hoped to gain a place in the Central Army system and complete their magnificent transformation from ragtag to direct lineage. However, the Central Army, especially Chairman Chiang, was deeply wary of the troops of the former Northeast Army. These people today You can betray Zhang Xueliang, and you can betray me, Mr. Jiang, tomorrow. Never reuse him! Guard against it and guard against it.

These people did not get the expected benefits. Instead, they sat on the bench. They saw that their former colleagues, since Vice Chairman Tang took over, transformed from rebels to direct troops of the Central Army, with numbers and supplies, which made them regretful. .

They all sent telegrams to Tang Qiuli with only one intention, which was to return to the Northeast Army system. Chairman Chiang also wanted Tang Qiuli to take them back. However, Tang Qiuli's idea was exactly the same as Chairman Chiang's. , How dare you use the troops who are so close to each other? They simply refused without leaving any words.

With no other choice, Chairman Chiang had no choice but to transfer them to garrison in northern Jiangsu and eastern Anhui. However, the troops were downsized. Divisions were reduced to brigades, brigades were reduced to regiments, and cavalry and artillery were all replaced by infantry, horses, and artillery. , turned over uniformly, these traitorous generals were on the verge of crying but had no tears, their hands were empty, they had no choice but to accept the arrangement and lamented their misfortune.

After the troop personnel arrangements, reorganization, and reorganization were completed, a period of adaptive training was conducted. Since the individual soldier quality training had been completed in the previous stage, this stage mainly carried out mutual cooperation training between various units and services, that is, Large corps synthesis exercise.

The main purpose of this exercise is to test the troops' command and communication, coordination and cooperation, advance capabilities, field construction of fortifications, interspersed attacks, logistical supplies, battlefield rescue, field air defense and other subjects.

For a time, thousands of troops and horses were in action in Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, and Pingjin. The troops were mobilized frequently. This aroused high tension among the Japanese. They could not understand what the Chinese *** team was doing.

?

The agents of the Japanese secret service were dispatched in full force to find out the true purpose of this large-scale mobilization of the squadron, whether it was an action against the Japanese garrison troops in North China. This went to Shen Jun's Special Investigation Division.

The Inspection Division of the Pingjin Police Headquarters brought opportunities.

Big fish that usually lurked at the bottom of the water came to the surface one after another. Shen Jun joined forces with the Intelligence Department in Deshui, the Intelligence and Security Department of Huangyadong Base, and the Secret Service Bureau of Dingbian Special Economic Zone to work together and cast a big net, whether it was fish, shrimp, turtles, or crabs.

, catch them all in one go.

I didn't know that the stupid trick of the senior general of the Japanese garrison in North China exposed the intelligence network that the Japanese North China secret service had worked hard for many years. This operation not only failed to find out the true intention of the Chinese *** team, but also exposed it.

The intelligence network of Japan's secret service has caused irreparable losses.

Major General Matsui Taitaro, the head of the Japanese secret service in North China, really couldn't stand the idiotic orders from the amateurs at the North China Garrison Command. His years of hard work were ruined in their hands. Every day, he received reports that agents had fallen into the hands of Shen Jun.

.

A letter of complaint was sent to the Japanese base camp. The base camp called back. At any cost, we must understand the true purpose of this large-scale mobilization of the squadron. It is related to the next military action of the empire in China. No matter how high the cost,

It’s worth it too.

Matsui Taitaro was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The senior generals in the base camp were even more assholes and idiots. They just couldn't say anything. They were so depressed that they even contemplated committing suicide by caesarean section. They always stared blankly at their command swords.

Shen Jun and Yu Deshui were so excited that they took action one after another and gained a lot. However, these were secret battles and secret battles. They were not as majestic as the majestic battlefield with thousands of troops and horses, but they were more dangerous. They were always close-quarters and hand-to-hand combat.

.

In the process of encircling and suppressing Japanese agents, more than a hundred people of the *** Division Intelligence System were killed, which became the largest loss in the history of the intelligence system. However, this cut off the hands and feet of the Japanese army and blinded their eyes and ears.

The troops of the ** Division traveled across the North China battlefield and eliminated hidden dangers.

To this end, Tang Qiuli issued a special order to commend the ** division's achievements in the anti-special and intelligence systems, commend them for their meritorious service on the hidden front, and reward the anti-special and intelligence systems with 200,000 yuan to improve their performance.

The equipment of his own system, the sacrificed intelligence personnel, and the special pension of 1,000 yuan each were given. Tang Qiuli did not believe that money could help the gods, but he really didn't have a particularly good way.

Speaking of which, Tang Qiuli's purpose of mobilizing and training troops on such a large scale was of course to train the troops. After all, they were part of a non-stop system. When fighting, coordination and enforcement of orders and prohibitions was a big problem.

The deeper meaning is to attract the attention of the Japanese to the north so that they have no time to care, so as to ensure that half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are temporarily exempted from the war and buy time for the whole country to resist the war. He did not forget to express his opinions on those national governments at the military committee.

Bosses, promise to entangle the Japanese army in the Yellow River Basin for six months.

Now it seems that the goal has been achieved. The Japanese troops in North China, including the Northeast, have entered a state of high tension, as if facing a powerful enemy. This is called a strategy in the Thirty-six Strategies to alert the snake, and it really works. The Japanese troops were transferred from the mainland and were originally planned to be deployed.

The three first-class divisions heading to Shanghai, totaling more than 100,000 troops, were urgently transferred to North China to increase the overall strength of the Japanese army there.
