In addition, Guo Zhuocheng also talked to Mr. Lin and Mr. Peng about new weapons such as radar, bazookas, recoilless artillery, etc., so that they would have a simple concept in their hearts, so that they would not know how to use these things when they had them in the future, let alone how to better play their role. The sooner they have an impression and a concept in their minds, the sooner they can think about how to make the troops more combative.

Just as they were hurrying to advance towards Chongqing, the tax police corps sent by Jiang Jieshi had already established the headquarters of the regiment in the county seat of Fengjie County.

If you only look at these four words, people will definitely fall into confusion, thinking that this "general regiment" is a regiment after all, at most it is more than a reinforced regiment, and it will not exceed the size of two regiments, right? In reality, however, it had six regiments, much more than a division. Moreover, these six regiments are still six regiments in name, and each regiment is stronger than ordinary regiments, and each regiment has more than 5,000 combatants, far exceeding the size of other regiments.

Its regimental establishment is quite large: each squad has 14 soldiers, six squads are a platoon, and three platoons are a company, with a total of 252 men in each company, which is equivalent to two companies of the regular army of Class A. In addition to four companies under one battalion and three battalions under one regiment, there are also three to seven special companies.

This is because this tax police regiment has a total of more than 30,000 troops, which is the size of a group army. The central leadership of the Red Army planned to build three strategic armies, and its number was only planned to be about 30,000, and it is not known how long it will take to fully assemble them.

This is only in terms of numbers, it is strong, and there are two aspects that are the most powerful of this tax police corps: first, the best weapons and equipment, even if Jiang Yaoshi's guard unit and the best teaching regiment of the Central Army, it is only the equipment level of the tax police corps. Second, this unit is trained by German officers on active duty, and many of its senior officers have been trained in Germany, Britain, or the United States, and it can be said that they have come into contact with modern military thinking, far surpassing their domestic counterparts.

It can be said that this tax police corps is definitely a storage that cannot be ignored, and it is also the best trump card in Jiang Yaoshi's hand now.

In order to facilitate command and to win over the officers and men of the Tax Police Corps, Jiang Jieshi directly gave them the numbers of the three brigades, directly integrated the original six regiments into three brigades, and promoted these middle and high-ranking officers by one level.

For a while, the morale of the tax police corps was greatly boosted, but only Song Ziwen, the backstage boss of this unit, was a little unhappy, feeling that the troops he had worked so hard to manage would be taken away by Jiang Jiaoshi so lightly.

Maybe it was to save face for Song Ziwen, or maybe the officers and soldiers still had a lot of nostalgia for the tax police corps, they did not change the tax police corps to the division headquarters, but still called the tax police corps, and its highest officer was not called the division commander, but still called the head of the regiment.

After the personnel of the headquarters of the tax police regiment arrived in Fengjie County, Huang Jie, the commander of the regiment, first confirmed that Liangshan County in front was still under the control of the Sichuan army, so he immediately held a combat meeting to convey Jiang Jieshi's telegram order on the one hand, and deploy on the other.

Obviously, during this time, Huang Jie made a lot of preparations with the help of the German official advisory group, so that soon after the meeting, he ordered the cavalry commander Zhao Junmai to lead the cavalry regiment to serve as the vanguard of the general regiment, advance along the road on the bank of the Yangtze River, and after entering Liangshan County, camp to rest and wait for the large army. He Shaozhou, the commander of the first brigade, was ordered to be the first echelon, Wang Gongliang, the commander of the second brigade, was the second echelon, and he personally led the brigade directly under him (brigade commander Sun Liren), and the troops directly under the regiment and the Sichuan army gathered followed up.

A cadre of generals sat at the conference table and listened to Huang Jie, the head of the regiment who was full of vigor and energy, and said in a high-spirited manner: "Brothers, the fact that the communists and bandits shamelessly attacked Chongqing does not show how powerful they are, and even the defeat of Xue Yue's regiment does not mean that there is any problem. We are the General Revenue Corps, our weapons and equipment are the best of all the squadrons, we have trained well, and we should have this confidence. As long as our army moves quickly and attacks resolutely, as long as we can attack Chongqing before the arrival of reinforcements from a large army, these hateful troops will inevitably collapse at the first touch. When the time comes, the prestige of our tax police corps will be out, and we will be able to have our own territory to eat meat and drink soup. ”

An officer who had only been promoted from battalion commander to regiment commander immediately said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the county seat of Fengdu County is an important stronghold for our army's westward advance, and I request that our regiment be the vanguard to immediately seize the county seat of Fengdu County and cover the westward advance of the army." ”

Huang Jie admired this kind of fierce general, and now there is an atmosphere of defeat in the central army, and many senior officers have a fear when they talk about Guo Zhuocheng. Although the regiment commander in front of him may not really have the courage to go deep alone, his courage is commendable and can greatly improve morale, so he said: "Okay! This is the person of the tax police corps, and we must have the mentality of despising the world. However, this time it was Zhao Junmai's cavalry regiment that took the lead, and it was much faster for them to act as the vanguard. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to Zhao Junmai and instructed: "Commander Zhao, you must have the spirit of being invincible and have the courage to undertake the task of attacking and seizing the pass. Now the county seat of Liangshan County is still in the hands of our Sichuan army, but the situation in Fengdu is not optimistic, the telegram sent by the Sichuan army there is very suspicious, I doubt that they were captured and sent a fake telegram. Therefore, after you arrive at the county seat of Liangshan County, you must conduct a careful inspection and search, and after confirming that there is no danger, then move forward to the county seat of Fengdu. Our whole division is following up, don't panic when you encounter communists and bandits, if you feel that the other party is strong, you can block it on the spot and wait for us to come to help. ”

Zhao Junmai, the commander of the cavalry regiment, hurriedly reported: "May I ask the commander-in-chief, if we encounter communist bandits on the road, will our troops rush over and go straight to Fengdu County, or will we search for the enemy and cover the main force?" ”

Huang Jie rolled his eyes and scolded: "Stupid! Of course, it is directly into Fengdu County, is my tax police corps still afraid of a small number of enemies to disturb it? Now it is not that we are afraid of the enemy's blockade, but that the enemy is afraid that the enemy will flee as soon as he knows the news of the arrival of our army, flee into Chongqing City to hide, and use the city fortifications against us, and we will be in trouble! We must strive to eliminate them on the periphery of Chongqing! Got it? ......, do you all understand? ”

"Yes! Humble duty understands! Zhao Junmai replied loudly.

The other officers all stood up and replied, "Understand! ”

Huang Jie waved his hand: "The meeting is over!" The troops moved immediately as they had just deployed. ”

"Yes!" The officers shouted.

It has to be said that the morale of the tax police corps is high, and everyone is full of confidence in victory.

You must know that it is not a trivial matter for a troop of tens of thousands of people to be pulled, especially since their troops have high logistical requirements, and the Shu Road is notoriously difficult to walk, even if they have trucks, it is difficult to pass, and they can only rely on rented or robbed horses, donkeys, etc. to transport, or use civilian workers to carry them. Fortunately, the tax police corps had strict military orders, was well-trained, and the morale of the soldiers was high, so soon after Huang Jie's order was issued, not only the cavalry regiment as the forward unit was assembled, but the other troops were also ready.

Soon, the troops began to set off, forming a long snake formation on the rugged Shu Road, winding and moving westward.

While they were moving, the main force of the 1st Division of the 1st Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army directly under the Red Army led by Chen Peng also arrived at Longjiagou in Fengdu County to wait.

I have to say that Huang Jie's hunch is still very accurate, he found clues from the telegram, and felt that Fengdu County was not in the hands of the Sichuan Army now, and it was likely to fall into the hands of the Red Army.

As a matter of fact, not only did the county seat of Fengdu County fall into the hands of the Red Army, but even the outskirts of Fengdu County were occupied by the Red Army one by one, and Longjiagou, about 10 kilometers away from the county seat to the east of the county seat, was the place where Chen Peng had long been in ambush with the Tax Police Corps.

The terrain here is not thrilling, there are no narrow mountain roads to ambush, and it stands to reason that this is not a good place for ambushes. The reason why Chen Peng chose this place is because there is a huge bell mouth here, and there is a relatively gentle place, which is enough for tens of thousands of troops of the tax police corps to spread out to fight, which can give the tax police corps a chance for a fair duel, and it is also to give Mr. Lin and Mr. Peng a chance to see the coordination of infantry artillery.

In order to appear fair, Chen Peng did not send troops to come before, let alone build a position here in advance, and did not occupy Fengdu County until this morning, and only then did he pull his troops here to wait for the tax police corps.

The strategic location of Fengdu County is very important, and it is the eastern gateway to Chongqing. In order to keep this eastern gateway and leave a bridgehead for the tax police regiment to attack and recover Chongqing, the Sichuan army deployed two regiments of heavy troops here and hoarded a lot of food and ammunition......

In the early morning of the 24th, Su Daqing, commander of the Second Regiment of the First Division of the directly subordinate column, personally led his troops to the south gate of the county seat of Fengdu County.

The county seat of Fengdu County was shrouded in a mist early in the morning, and the fishermen who had not slept all night fishing in the Yangtze River were waiting at the door early, all anxious to be the first to send the fish caught last night to the vegetable market, sell them early, and go home early to eat and sleep.

The earlier you sell it, the fresher the fish will be, and the price will be more negotiable. Because they all wanted to enter the city earlier, everyone couldn't help but crowd each other, and they were all noisy at the city gate, and some simply opened the city gate array, telling about the fishing last night, about the strange things encountered in fishing, and about the surrounding situation, especially the situation of Chongqing, because they all already knew that the current Chongqing had been occupied by the red bandits who ate people without blinking, and they were all worried and wondered why the red bandits did not move, and some people were muttering in a whisper that maybe the common people would be better off when the common people came, who knows if the officials are deceiving, In his opinion, there are very few armies that can be worse than the Sichuan army......
