Chapter 129: Loss and Ambition

9.129 Loss and ambition

"Master Zhong! Don't always look for reasons in others! Don't say what kind of 'elite of the country' we are, now I'm afraid that only the 99th Army and the 100th Army under Huang Haoran can be worthy of these four words......"

Although they were very reluctant to admit it, it was indeed just like what Song Xilian said, the glorious years when the four words "elite of the country" were shared by the "moral armament division", the central teaching corps, and the tax police corps have disappeared in the long river of history.

If you turn back the clock by a year, who would have thought that the model troops carefully cultivated by the Chinese government during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression would be consumed by frequent wars in just over a year!?

The tax police corps trained by Finance Minister Song Ziwen was the first of these three elite army units to withdraw from the stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and this strong anti-Japanese army that suffered serious casualties on the Songhu battlefield was dismembered by the Military Commission shortly after the end of the battle, and Huang Jie, the former head of the regiment, was co-opted by Gu Zhutong, the commander of the third theater, and organized the remaining units of the tax police corps into the 40th Division, leaving more than 5,000 wounded in Changsha. Later, Sun Liren rushed to Changsha and planned to use these wounded soldiers as a basis to use the old school site after Tsinghua University moved to recruit troops and horses to form an "anti-smuggling corps" named by the Ministry of Finance, but because Huang Haoran attacked Changsha in advance and robbed most of the essence of the 5,000 wounded, Sun Liren has not been able to form the "anti-smuggling corps" so far.

And the ending of the Central Teaching Corps, which was the first to form an army, was the most miserable of the three Chinese elites! In February 1938, the Ministry of Military Affairs ordered the 46th Division and a small number of officers and soldiers to be combined with the remnants of the Teaching Corps that had been killed from Nanjing to form the new 46th Division. Dai Sixia, the former commander of the 46th Division, was transferred to the military and political system, and Gui Yongqing took over, and the deputy division commanders Li Liangrong and Zhou Zhenqiang. Later, Gui Yongqing was promoted to the commander of the 27th Army, and the commander of the 46th Division was replaced by General Li Liangrong, of which the 138th Brigade under the 46th Division was reorganized from the old headquarters of the original teaching corps.

A few months earlier, the 46th Division, which had recovered a little, followed Gui Yongqing to Lanfeng, but suffered more than 5,000 casualties in the siege of the Tufeiyuan Division, and three brigade commanders were killed and wounded. This battle finally completely squeezed out the last blood of the Central Teaching Corps! In the end, the poor 46th Division was left with only more than 3,000 remnants, and the Central Teaching Corps, which was once regarded as a model for the Chinese Army, basically disappeared. Although after the war, Gui Yongqing and Li Liangrong were ordered to be dismissed from their posts by the Military Commission and punished, and the number of the 27th Army was revoked, but what is the use of all this?

As for the "German Armament Division", although it has not yet fallen to the point where the Central Teaching Corps and the Tax Police Corps have been cancelled for the time being, as of the end of the Battle of Lanfeng, only Chen Ruihe's 36th Division, which had the best record in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, still retains about 30% of the old foundation of the "Moral Armament Division". Since Shen Fazao's 87th Division and Zhong Bin's 88th Division had both experienced large-scale rout and reorganization, these two divisions now actually had nothing to do with the original two "German Armament Division" strong forces. Now that the 71st Army has fought the tough battle of Fujin Mountain, this may really become the last swan song of the "German Armor Division".

Could it be that these eight words "different paths lead to the same end and end in bleakness" really want to become the final outcome of the first generation of China's elite troops formed by the Nanjing government?

The atmosphere of the conversation became depressed in this way, and Zhong Bin, an officer from a "German mechanic division", was obviously in a very bad mood, and he lowered his head and did not speak. Shen Fazao and Zhong Song on the side were also full of seriousness, and the two of them didn't want to be the last commander of the "Virtuous Mechanic", after all, it was disgraceful to say it.

"We can only fight the devil on this Fujin Mountain...... and the face lost in Lanfeng must be recovered on this Fujin Mountain...!"

In the end, it was Song Xilian who turned the topic back to the battle in Fujin Mountain, in Song Xilian's opinion, everything is empty now, only the devil soldiers under the mountain are the most urgent problem in front of him, according to the practice before the Japanese attack, and then compare the movement of the 13th Division, Song Xilian believes that there will soon be shells falling on the top of the mountain.

"Don't worry, Junza, your subordinates will do their best!" The three division commanders replied in unison.

Song Xilian nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and led everyone out of the top of the mountain, walking towards the headquarters of the 36th Division on the mountainside of the anticline.

Seeing Song Xilian arrive with several division commanders, Battalion Commander Zhao of the 36th Division Guard Battalion hurriedly greeted him, and at the same time signaled the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the division department to open the thick door curtain.

Song Xilian walked to the door and was just about to bend down and walk into the headquarters of the 36th Division, when he heard Chen Ruihe talking loudly at the top of his voice:

"Where do you ask Lao Tzu to find you artillery? You don't want to think about it, we don't even have artillery in our military seats, how can I take it out? Looking at the greedy eyes of the little devils at the bottom of the mountain? You have to endure the cravings! Remember! We're going to stick to the mountains, not to be commandos! I'd rather be reactive now, but seek no fault ......! ”

Needless to ask, Chen Ruihe must be teaching a lesson to a certain officer under him, and the middle and lower-level officers of the 36th Division are basically old men of the "German Armament Division", and these people's tactical vision is quite good. Song Xilian had the same idea on the top of the mountain just now, preparing to hit the artillery fire to give the 13th Division below the mountain an artillery raid. But what Chen Ruihe said was also true, the 71st Army did not have formed long-range artillery at all in its current combat sequence, and the 82-mm mortars equipped with various divisions were useless in such a large-scale operation.

"That's it! Say no more, put more effort into managing your position! I can tell you, if your regiment can't stop the devil's attack after the war, the military seat will definitely let me ask for your head! ”

When Song Xilian, Zhong Song, Zhong Bin and Shen Fazao all walked into Chen Ruihe's division headquarters, Chen Ruihe just ended his call and hung up the phone. Battalion Commander Zhang, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly walked to Chen Ruihe's side and reminded Chen Ruihe in a low voice that Army Commander Song Xilian and several division commanders had already arrived and were standing behind him at this moment.

When Chen Ruihe heard Battalion Commander Zhang say that Song Xilian and several other division commanders had come to his division headquarters, he quickly picked up the military hat that had fallen on the table and put it on his head, then turned around and said with a smile: "Military seat!" A few brothers! Don't blame me Lao Chen, this is really forced too hard by the little devil, and I don't dare to relax! ”

"Senior Commander Chen, how is your division preparing now?" Song Xilian knew that now was not the time for officialdom etiquette, so he also chose to go straight and directly asked about the combat readiness of the 36th Division.

"Junza, just look at it, our 36th Division has everything ready, just waiting for the little devil to come and die!"

Chen Ruihe's uplifting declaration made Song Xilian's face smile again!

Fortunately! The last breath of the "German Mechanic" is still there! The ambition of the "German Mechanic" is still ......
