When the 51st Division was still replenishing the first brigade, it was almost eaten by the He Department and the Civil Engineering Department in Jiangxi, but fortunately Wang Yaozu was able to retain it because of his activities everywhere.

Later, Wang Yaozu cooperated with Yu Jishi's Zhejiang Security Regiment in northeastern Jiangxi, and Yu was a fellow countryman and distant relative of the chairman of the committee, and served as the chief of the guard.

After getting acquainted with this figure who can reach the sky, the supplementary brigade can be regarded as being preserved in the army full of factions and has not been eaten by others.

Later, through various relationships, the supplementary first brigade was expanded into the 51st Division, and when he went to participate in the Battle of Songhu, because he had cooperated with Yu Jishi before, the relationship between the two has been maintained well.

continued to cooperate with the 58th Division (adapted from Yu Jishi's Zhejiang Security Regiment) in Luodian, fought side by side to resist the enemy, covered each other, and cooperated well.

Later, with the development of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were more and more troops, and there were more and more division-level units.

Therefore, the 51st Division and the 58th Division were merged into the 74th Army, and the commander of the 58th Division was Yu Jishilai, and later Yu served as the commander, and the commander of the 58th Division was Feng Shengfa.

In this way, the 74th Army has gradually grown into a strong iron army through brave battles and brilliant military exploits, forming a group of its own, not becoming a member of other factions, but becoming a strategic reserve army under the chairman.

If you really want to count, the 74th Army can be regarded as the descendant of the chairman of the committee, because it is subordinate to the strategic army under the National Defense Commission (formerly the Military Commission and the Supreme Command).

In addition to the factions within the Central Army, there are also local factions in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Northwest, Guangxi, Guangdong, etc., most of which belong to the former warlord troops and do not listen to the command of the central government.

Among the various military factions, there are also some factions from military schools, such as the Baoding faction, the Jiangwutang faction (Northeast, Yunnan, Sichuan, etc.), and the Huangpu faction.

Therefore, if you must assign a faction to Sangou, he should belong to the Huangpu faction, and the Huangpu faction still belongs to a very young faction compared to other military school systems.

After all, the Whampoa Military Academy has only been established for more than ten years, and the graduates of the military academy for more than ten years have achieved the rank of lieutenant general at most, and it is only in the turbulent years of war that this is possible.

However, the benefit of the Whampoa system lies in the fact that the current supreme leader is the founder of the department, and although China is now unified, it is only nominally unified.

That is to say, reunification on paper, most of the local troops and political power ignore the central authorities, and it is difficult for the central authorities to manage the localities, and they are still far from true reunification.

Therefore, in order to change this situation, it is necessary to first divide, dilute, and reorganize the local troops, and one of the ways to do this is to send a large number of Whampoa graduates into these armies.

Although the results were slow, they were still going on, but at this juncture, Japan began to invade China, and China, which was originally unified on paper, was torn to pieces by Japan, a foreign wolf.

Such a big cake, everyone originally had a share, although it constantly contradicted and confronted the central government, but everyone shared some.

Not now, the Japanese are coming, and if everyone continues to fight for this cake, they may end up falling into the mouths of the Japanese.

Therefore, everyone united and unanimously to the outside world, and the cake would rather not be eaten for the time being than let the Japanese take it, so the struggle of the various factions was relatively slowed down, and even united.

These are the relationship trends of the high-level bigwigs, as the bottom, there are still factions, a young person like Sangou can do the position of battalion commander, in addition to military merit and life, to a large extent, it still depends on the role of the Whampoa department.

Wang Yaozu, the founder of the 51st Division, himself was from the fourth phase of Huangpu, and he liked to use the people of the Huangpu Department very much, so he began to lay out when he supplemented the first brigade.

After graduation, he also met with almost everyone who went out to study at the Whampoa Military Academy, and every time he came in to study at the Whampoa Military Academy, Wang Yaozu had to meet with him, and asked the adjutant to make a separate list, always pay attention to the development of this group of people, and give preferential treatment.

This is the process of the birth of the faction, and the three dogs benefit from this and will follow suit, although they are only a battalion commander now, and the troops below are controlled by their fellow villagers.

But these fellow villagers don't have many opportunities to continue to rise, most of them are grassroots, and they have not studied at the Whampoa Military Academy, nor have they gone to spend gold, so it is difficult to be promoted.

But Whampoa graduates like Wang Xinjia and Luo Xian may be promoted, and when the time comes, if Sangou can really follow Wang Yaozu, Zhang Lingwu, and Liu Guangyu.

If you can really become a regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander or something, then you have to start thinking about developing your own lineage now, and you have a group of people who will rise up with you, this is capital, and politics is it. The capital and chips of the game.

There are people in the court who are good officials, and there are people below who are also good.

Therefore, regardless of talent considerations, political The layout is still an emotional factor, and Sangou still likes that the graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy can come to their third battalion.

Previously, due to the frequent and fierce battles of the 51st Division of the 74th Army, the consumption in Songhu and Nanjing was huge, and it was almost abandoned as cannon fodder in Nanjing.

Such remnant troops, at most, are rewarded and preferential, or for the whole army to see, and some recruits are added in time, but Huangpu students rarely add in.

Now it's different, the 74th Army has become a model unit and a double-salary unit for the whole army, and a large number of Whampoa graduates are the first choice for troops like the 74th Army, so now the three battalions of Sangou have come to a few at once.

Therefore, Sangou constantly sent the company commanders and platoon commanders of several fellow villagers and brothers to the officer training class to study and enhance their abilities, and at the same time, he also attached great importance to these Whampoa graduates who came to the third battalion.

Looking at Wang Xinjia, Luo Xian, as well as Xia Chen, Chen Yanxin and other young people, Sangou seemed to see their former shadows in them, and over time, they would be refined into steel under the baptism of blood and fire.

Therefore, Sangou specially told each company and platoon to protect these young talents, and maybe the fate of the three battalions in the future will depend on them.

……

In order to counteract, the Japanese army also sent some powerful shooters to capture the Chinese marksmen, and also set up light and heavy machine guns to cover the advancing stragglers.

Originally, every infantry of the Japanese army had a very high level of shooting, and their training in the country was at least 3,000 rounds or more per person.

Those who were called excellent marksmen by the Japanese army were fed with bullets every day, and although Japan was a resource-poor country, it was still willing to spend money on training talent elites.
