7.11 The 25th Army was opened

The 23rd Army Corps is Liu Xiang's family background, and its strength in the Sichuan Army is relatively strong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Pan Wenhua's 23rd Army is the main force in the 23rd Army Corps, with two divisions and two brigades, with a total strength of about 28,000. After two battles in Guangde and Wuhu, Pan Wenhua's troops withdrew to Anqing with about 23,000 men.

This, of course, was the figure of the 23 Army before it was sacked by the 25 Army......

An hour after Wang Huanzhi, Shen Yuanlong, Fan Jie, and Liu Zhaomu walked out of Pan Wenhua's military headquarters, the total number of the 23rd Army dropped by half!

Liu Zhaomu, the former commander of the 146th Division, who knew the roots of this unit, inflicted losses on the 23rd Army far more than Shen Yuanlong, whom Pan Wenhua feared the most, and under the instigation of Liu Zhaomu, the teacher, more than 7,000 guns of the 146th Division defected to Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army.

Pan Wenhua didn't expect Liu Zhaomu to have such a good popularity among the officers and soldiers, not only the officers and soldiers of the 146th Division bought his account, but even the 145th Division, which is now temporarily replaced by Pan Wenhua as the division commander, and the two independent brigades under Zhou Shaoxuan and Tian Zhongyi, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers chose to follow Liu Zhaomu to leave, plus Shen Yuanlong's more than 2,000 people recruited from the 23rd Army before, Huang Haoran's 25th Group Army got 12,000 Sichuan officers and soldiers from the 23rd Army!

Fan Jie and Wang Huanzhi didn't expect such a result before they came, Liu Zhaomu's surrender made the 25th Group Army make a lot of money!

In order to prevent Pan Wenhua from repenting, Fan Jie arranged for Shen Laoer's 99th Division to stay and watch the 23rd Army Corps open, while he and Wang Huanzhi took the first step and took Liu Zhaomu and his troops to Huang Haoran to return to Huang Haoran.

Wang Shankui, who went to the 21st Army of Tang Shizun, returned to the military headquarters of the 99th Army at about the same time as Fan Jie and Wang Huanzhi. Because he failed to win over a senior general of the Sichuan army like Liu Zhaomu, Wang Shankui's 139th Division was far inferior to Shen Yuanlong's 99th Division.

The 21st Army defected to Huang Haoran in Sichuan with less than 1,500 officers and men. Fortunately, Shen Yuanlong didn't come back with Fan Jie and Wang Huanzhi, if he bumped into Wang Shankui, he might not know what he would be proud of!

When the 99th Army withdrew to Nanjing, it was not satisfied, and then after more than a month of fierce fighting with the Japanese army, the losses of all units were not small. Originally, Huang Haoran hoped that the 99th Army could get a relatively long period of rest and recuperation, but after reaching an agreement with Chief Li, he had to make the 99th Army plump up again in the shortest possible time.

In just a few hours, Huang Haoran successively swallowed He Daru's spy group and the remnants of the 87th Division that Chen Yiding had brought to the 99th Army. Now, with the addition of more than 10,000 Sichuan troops, in terms of numbers, all units can return to the level when they held the national defense line in Changshu.

Fan Jie introduced Liu Zhaomu to Huang Haoran and paid tribute to Liu Zhaomu. Huang Haoran listened to Fan Jie's words while looking at Liu Zhaomu in front of him, this Sichuan man gave Huang Haoran a very good feeling, compared to Tang Shizun and Pan Wenhua, Huang Haoran felt that Liu Zhaomu was more like a traditional Sichuan army general! Simple and resolute!

Huang Haoran's gaze made Liu Zhaomu a little nervous, although on the battlefield of the Republic of China, there were countless generals who surrendered and defected, but Liu Zhaomu still felt in his heart that his rebel generals would become inferior, and he was ready for the troops to be broken up and absorbed by Huang Haoran.

"General Liu! Welcome! Here, we are our own people! ”

Huang Haoran enthusiastically stretched out his hand to Liu Zhaomu, Liu Zhaomu plucked slightly, and then quickly held Huang Haoran's hand, excitement and nervousness made Liu Zhaomu almost say the wrong thing as soon as he opened his mouth:

"Huang Jun... Commander! and all my ten thousand or so brethren shall be yours! As long as you can beat Little Japan! Whether the troops are broken up or reorganized, I have no second word! ”

Huang Haoran admired Liu Zhaomu's directness, but he couldn't agree with Liu Zhaomu's suggestion. He decided to dispel Liu Zhaomu's last concerns.

"General Liu! I plan to use these more than 10,000 Sichuan officers and soldiers together and form a new infantry division, and I will not interfere in anything other than sending some military instructors and staff officers to the new unit to assist you in your work! Your 146th Division will still be one, but... Gotta change the signboard! ”

Huang Haoran had tried his best to make his words sound humorous, but Liu Zhaomu was still moved to tears! Liu Zhaomu is now even more convinced that it is a very wise choice for him to take refuge in Huang Haoran!

Huang Haoran was far inferior to Fan Jie and Wang Huanzhi in dealing with such sensational scenes, so after Huang Haoran set the tone for the Sichuan army brought by Liu Zhaomu to become a division of its own, Wang Huanzhi came up and relieved Huang Haoran.

After leaving Wang Huanzhi and Liu Zhaomu behind, Huang Haoran walked between Wang Shankui and Shen Yuanlong, while Fan Jie moved his position seemingly casually, just blocking Liu Zhaomu's sight.

Shen Lao Er was anxious after hearing that Huang Haoran had promised to let Liu Zhaomu's troops become a division of their own! His 99th Division still has a shortfall of six or seven thousand troops, and if it can't be replenished from the Sichuan Army, the 99th Division will have to be downgraded to an infantry division of four regiments! That kind of result, Shen Yuanlong doesn't want to see it!

So when Huang Haoran came over, Shen Yuanlong immediately couldn't wait to ask his question:

"Big brother! You let Liu Zhaomu become a division of his own, which means that my 99th Division cannot rely on these Sichuan soldiers to recover their vitality! Do you really have to wait for the Ministry of Military Affairs to send new recruits down? Is it that our 25th Group Army is going to be transferred to Wuhan for recuperation? That's why the eldest brother is so unhurried? ”

The question Wang Shankui wants to ask is similar to Shen Yunlong's, his 139th Division is an infantry division with four regiments under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of about 12,000 people, after the First World War in Nanjing, Wang Shankui's troops also have a gap of four or five thousand people, although the absolute number of losses is not as good as Shen Yunlong's 99th Division, but because the 99th Division has two brigades and six regiments, the total strength is close to 20,000, so the casualty ratio of the 139th Division is actually higher than Shen Yuanlong's 99th Division, and now Wang Shankui's desire to replenish the soldiers is still above Shen Laoer!

The reason why Wang Shankui can still calm down until now is mainly because the 1,500 people he pulled back from the 21st Army were not assigned to Liu Zhaomu's new army by Huang Haoran. With this dose of "tonic" at the bottom, Wang Shankui's heart is much more down-to-earth than Shen Yuanlong.

Huang Haoran looked at Shen Yuanlong, who was roaring urgently, and really wanted to go up on his head! How does this guy know how to be greedy and take more? The more than 10,000 Sichuan troops under Liu Zhaomu are a very large force, and if they are used properly, they will be of great help in the next Battle of Xuzhou; However, if used incorrectly, "tonic" can actually become "poison"!

In fact, breaking up and integrating these more than 10,000 soldiers of the Sichuan Army into various units is indeed the best way to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the 99th Army in a short period of time. But this kind of doing has a side effect, that is, it will make these Sichuan officers and soldiers who have just taken refuge wary of Huang Haoran, after all, these Sichuan troops are huddled together to join Huang Haoran's team, if they are immediately separated and strengthened into the original basic troops, everyone will have an idea......

The mixed troops, with the old leading the new, can indeed redouble the combat effectiveness of these Sichuan officers and men.

But sometimes it is more important to gain people's hearts than to increase combat effectiveness!

If Huang Haoran had enough time, then he would definitely let the more than 10,000 Sichuan troops fully integrate into the 25th Group Army, but now, Chief Li only gave Huang Haoran ten days!

Within 10 days, the 25 th Group Army must complete a series of actions such as reorganization, redressing, and replenishment, and then leave for Xuzhou.

Time is really tight!

"Who said we were going to Wuhan? Tell you! Our newly opened 25th Group Army will soon get the military order to open Xuzhou! We're going to war again! Shen Er, don't stare at you! Your 99th Division is short of strength, I will find a way...... Didn't more than 2,000 people of the 87th Division follow us to Anqing? Senior officers can be let go, and grassroots officers and soldiers must stay, and you and Wang Shankui are half of these people! I have already asked Wu Jianping to do everything possible to recruit soldiers, if the 121st Division can't be used, it will be distributed to you and Wang Shankui! Starting tomorrow, you will have a few more recruiting stations of your own, and you can replenish as much as you can before you start the campaign! I don't believe it! In the name of our 99th Army! Will it not even attract a few thousand recruits? ”

Shen Yuanlong pouted vigorously after listening to Huang Haoran's words, in his opinion, Huang Haoran's method was not a method at all!

Set up a recruiting station to recruit new recruits? At the very least, these recruits have to have a month of training, right? The battlefield in Xuzhou is like a pot of boiling water that will smoke at any time! Not to mention a month, it's good to be able to give these recruits ten days!

Raising a qualified soldier is a complicated process, but there is no quick fix! The recruits who came out of the short period of intensive training are actually a group of farmers who have just put down their hoes! What is the difference between going to fight the Japanese with such a unit and taking a flock of ducks to the battlefield? Shen Yuanlong doesn't want to play with devils while worrying about these recruits!

Even if Huang Haoran can really get tens of thousands of such "new forces" for the 25th Group Army in a short period of time, after a battle, I am afraid that there will not be much left!

Shen Yunlong didn't want to be the executioner who drove these recruits to their deaths!

So he shook his head into a rattle in front of Huang Haoran.

"Commander! Or... Divide half of He Daru's spy group with me! Xie Wendong's independent 47th Brigade is a small unit, and it can't digest so many people in the First Army, so I'll help him! Help him......"

Shen Lao Er saw that Huang Haoran was determined not to let him move Liu Zhaomu's troops, so he hit Xie Wendong's crooked brains, He Daru's spy group had 5,000 guns, and Xie Wendong's independent 47 Brigade was only 6,000 men when it was full, Shen Lao Er saw that Xie Wendong's troops had become the only fully formed unit in the 99th Army, and he immediately began to wave a pickaxe to dig Xie Wendong's foot.

Wang Shankui watched Shen Yuanlong stalking in front of Huang Haoran, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little, this Shen Lao Er, he would only be obedient in front of the commander, if Fan Jie or Wang Huanzhi said to Shen Yuanlong what Huang Haoran said just now, I am afraid that Shen Yuanlong would even raise the big blade.

Huang Haoran dispelled Shen Yunlong's thoughts again, and he already had a new arrangement for Xie Wendong in his heart:

"I plan to merge Xie Wendong's independent 47th Brigade with He Daru's special mission group to form a new division-level number, our 99th Army has now become the 25th Group Army, although there are not enough troops, but this frame has to be built first! It's better to ....... to the Military Commission."

"Ask for more military pay and supplies! Commander! My 99th Division suffered a lot of losses in Nanjing! This matter of replenishing the soldiers has come to naught, and the materials of the Military Commission can always be picked first! ”

Before Huang Hao's words came out, Shen Yuanlong rushed to answer. It is also strange to say, as long as there is already a advantage to take advantage of, Shen Yuanlong's brain has become very good! The salaries and material supplies that a corps-level unit and a group army receive from the Military Commission are several times worse! After failing to dig Xie Wendong's foot, Shen Yuanlong reached out to the materials that had not yet fallen into Huang Haoran's pocket.

Wang Shankui's cheekiness towards Shen Yuanlong is really admired!

Huang Haoran was also annoyed by Shen Yuanlong's toss, and he said to Shen Yuanlong angrily:

"I'll talk about it when I get it! What good goods can be in the warehouse of the Military Commission? ”

"This mosquito leg is also meat! Commander, we're done this time! Don't talk and give everything to the newly formed troops! It's not right to like the new and hate the old! It's the woman surnamed Yu who taught you badly...... big brother! ”

Huang Haoran was about to kick Shen Laoer, but Shen Laoer, who was quick-eyed, hurriedly flashed behind Wang Shankui, and then continued to whisper.

Being made so troubled by Shen Yuanlong, Huang Haoran's mood became much more relaxed, and a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his mind, looming, looking so graceful and charming......

Yu Da Beauty, it's really been a long time......

"Commander! The new troop number, does it need to be determined, the division of powers and responsibilities between the various ministries of the province is unclear, and communication is not smooth! ”

Wang Shankui's voice woke Huang Haoran from his dream, but for just a few seconds, Huang Haoran felt that several hours had passed, and he even felt that Wang Shankui's words sounded a little unfamiliar.

Wang Huanzhi in the corner of the room also pulled Liu Zhaomu over, with the establishment of these new division-level units, the power territory of Huang Haoran's small group will expand even more, and the internal power balance will also change subtly, so everyone is very concerned about Huang Haoran's next words.

The atmosphere that suddenly became very serious reactivated Huang Haoran's thinking, he shook his head gently, and drove the last fragment of Qimeng out of his mind, the battle of Xuzhou is imminent, now is not the time to be busy with children's personal affairs!

God gives you some, and he will pull some away, and the simple and happy life has gradually left Huang Haoran......

"Chief of Staff Fan! You go and inform Xie Wendong and Wu Jianping to come back! Let's have a little meeting! Let's talk about the expansion of the army! ”

During the time when Xie Wendong rushed back, the backbone of Huang Haoran's small group gathered at the conference table to talk about some past events of the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing, Liu Zhaomu joined relatively late, so he never intervened in the conversation between Wang Shankui and Shen Laoer, after Wang Huanzhi and Fan Jie found out, they deliberately said a few topics in the later stage of the Battle of Nanjing, so that Liu Zhaomu opened the conversation.

Listening to Liu Zhaomu talk about the Guangde Anti-Japanese War, Shen Lao Er and Wang Shankui were a little uninterested. Compared with the corpse mountain and sea of blood that Huang Haoran experienced with them, Liu Zhaomu's battles can only be regarded as a family at best. Huang Haoran saw this harmonious atmosphere among his subordinates, and he was also happier in his heart.

Almost an hour later, Xie Wendong and Wu Jianping finally rushed back, Wang Huanzhi introduced Liu Zhaomu to Xie Wendong and Wu Jianping, a new colleague, and after some greetings, Huang Haoran brought the meeting to the main topic.

The 99th Army was officially expanded into the 25th Group Army in accordance with the order of the Military Commission, and Huang Haoran took several basic units of the 99th Army as the backbone and set up two army-level numbers.

With Shen Yuanlong's 99th Division as the backbone, the new 99th Army was formed, and the old unit of Xie Wendong's Independent 47th Brigade was expanded into a new infantry division after merging with He Daru's special service regiment, and the number of the Independent 47th Brigade was retained and included in the operational sequence of the 99th Army, and Shen Yuanlong served as the commander of the 99th Army.

With Wang Shankui's 139th Division as the backbone, a new corps-level unit was formed, and Liu Zhaomu's old Sichuan Army formed a new infantry division, which was placed under Wang Shankui together with Wu Jianping's 121st Division, and Wang Shankui served as the commander of these new armies.

Fan Jie was promoted to chief of staff of the 25th Group Army, Wang Huanzhi was promoted to deputy commander of the 25th Group Army, the special service battalion of the 99th Army was expanded into a special service regiment, the guard battalion of the 99th Army was expanded into a guard regiment, and a new teaching regiment was established. Rich served as the head of the teaching regiment, and the above units, together with Xu Xinghua's secret service and Shi Jincai's artillery regiment, were directly under the command of the group army and were under the direct jurisdiction of Huang Haoran.

At the meeting, Huang Haoran also announced to his small group that the 25th Group Army would go to the Fifth Theater to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou in ten days, and that during the period before the start of the campaign, the task of the 25th Group Army was to recruit and train!

Don't be afraid to waste ammo in training! Don't be afraid to sweat and get injured during training! All so that in the next battle, the officers and men of the 25 Army can shed less blood!

After the meeting, the entire 25 Army was put into full swing of training! On the humble playground, Huang Haoran's officers and soldiers saw the "veteran" wearing the rank of lieutenant general again......

*************************************************

After the Japanese army conquered Nanjing, the debate continued in the base camp in Tokyo about whether the Sino-Japanese war should be expanded.

The non-enlargement faction believed that Japan had conquered Inner Mongolia and most of North China, and at the same time controlled the Yangtze River Delta in China, and that China's most elite regions and strategic towns were in the hands of the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army has also invested more than 90 percent of its military strength, including the Kwantung Army, into the Chinese battlefield, and if it wants to continue to expand the war and open up new operational objectives, Japan's military strength is already somewhat unsustainable.

If Japan still wants to maintain its military strength to deal with the United States and the Soviet Union, it must stop in moderation on the Chinese battlefield! At the very least, it is necessary to wait for political changes within China for the time being, and then hold consultations to find a solution to the issue of war with China. Therefore, it is absolutely inappropriate for Xuzhou to send troops to attack......
