Chapter 639: The First Panzer Army
readx; Although Nanjing in December is not as cold and snowy as in the north, it is also cold, which is blowing on the street by the cold wind that drifts down from the north, even if it is heavy, but the face can still make the cold red. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info for the poor and poor people at home, this winter is as difficult as any winter in previous years, these thinly dressed people are running around for life with their heads down, thinking that tomorrow's salt, oil and rice money will not be enough to make their families starving, worrying that the quilts at home are not enough to make their families cold, rather than thinking about military affairs.
For them, the so-called country and nation are too far away, they even care about what the country and the nation represent, they don't even care about Chen Jingyun's return to the presidency a year ago, and they don't care much about the Sino-Chinese war that has broken out now, but indifferently look at the crowd on the street who are talking loudly about the current situation, but continue to walk with their heads down without saying a word.
Unlike these people, there are many young people on the street, most of them are young people in student uniforms or who have just graduated from school, holding banners in this winter, their faces are not sure whether they are frozen or red because of the continuous shouting, and they repeat these words in each other's undulating voices: "Long live China!" ”
While shouting, there were several people holding fundraising boxes to raise donations, a girl with a young face, no more than sixteen years old, wearing the uniform of today's female students, a standard blue top, a black skirt, holding a wooden fundraising box on her chest, walked to a middle-aged passer-by in a suit: "Sir, we are collecting donations for the soldiers on the front line!" ”
The thin-skinned girl didn't continue to say this after saying this, but looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with big eyes, the middle-aged man was holding a briefcase, and he was obviously in a hurry, and he was obviously going to ignore her and just cross over, but when the footsteps just moved, the sentence came from his ears: "Long live China, long live China!" ”
The footsteps stopped again, and then took out a banknote and put it into the fundraising box, the girl showed a smile on her face and said, "Thank you, sir, the soldiers on the front line will thank you!" ”
Then, the long-haired girl walked in front of the other person and repeated the action just now.
At the same time, in a certain house on the side of the street, Chen Cai stood on the third floor of the street, looking at the nearly 100 students who were marching to raise funds below, and there was no other color on his face. ”
Chen Cai only turned around at this time, then walked inside, then sat down and said, "How are you doing?" ”
The middle-aged man in a suit standing below said respectfully: "Don't worry, the bureau has also contacted the intelligence department these days, this time our two families have joined forces again, and we will definitely be able to wipe out the remnants of the Kuomintang once!" ”
Chen Cai nodded and said: "Okay, you have been doing this thing all these years, I am assured of your ability, but the Kuomintang group of people has been repeating for so many years, if it is easy to destroy, we would have destroyed them a long time ago, this time we do not seek no merit but no fault, no matter what, we can't let them do things in the country!" ”
Since the Kuomintang group was rushed to the Kuomintang by Chen Jingyun and Yuan Shikai together, the Kuomintang group has not given up for more than ten years, relying on the support of the Kuomintang has been lingering, and in 1924 there was a strike turmoil, because of this incident, Chen Jingyun strictly ordered the Investigation Bureau and the Intelligence Department to carry out a large-scale strangulation of the Kuomintang, and killed a large number of Kuomintang people, which affected the strength of the Kuomintang greatly reduced, and Sun Wen was still ill for it. Finally, in 1925, he died in Tokyo, when he heard the news of Sun Wen's death, Chen Jingyun was sad for a while, Sun Wen no matter how he acted, but he always adhered to the republican ideal in his heart, and he called on many young people with ideals to fight for the republic for many years, and finally overthrew the Manchu Dynasty. For that alone, his name is enough to go down in history. Even in the later period, he has been working hard to overthrow Chen Jingyun's rule of reading talents, and Chen Jingyun admires him a little for this alone.
On the contrary, after Sun Wen's death, the official mouthpiece of the Kuomintang Socialist Party, the National Daily, also used the title of "national sinner and national traitor" to announce Sun Wen's death.
It is no longer so important who is right and who is wrong, the important thing is that the Kuomintang under his leadership is Chen Jingyun's enemy, and he Sun Wen is also Chen Jingyun's enemy.
After Sun Wen's death, the Kuomintang did not collapse, although its strength had weakened a lot, but they had the support of the Soviet Union and Russia. Their foundation is now in the name of the 'Ben', so it is impossible to completely destroy them.
Although it is said that the Kuomintang is far inferior to that of the past, the Investigation Bureau and the Intelligence Department still do not dare to relax, for fear that the Kuomintang will strike again and make trouble at the time of the current Sino-Japanese war, and if this kind of thing occurs at the critical juncture of the current national war, it will have a serious impact on China's war preparedness, and even if the crisis can be successfully resolved in the end, the losses caused will be immeasurable.
In order to prevent this from happening, the Investigation Bureau and the Intelligence Department have once again joined forces to prepare for a preemptive strike against the Kuomintang.
Against this backdrop, the Bureau of Investigation once again launched a purge against the Kuomintang in China, which also involved other rebel forces, such as a small group of readers in Tibetan Province who were supported by the British, and some Uyghur readers in Xinjiang Province and Kazakhstan who were supported by Soviet Russia. Chen Jingyun has always been ruthless about these rebel forces, and he didn't need any mercy, and he didn't even need to be tried after being caught, and was directly shot to death on charges of treason and other crimes.
Of course, these things are not known to ordinary people, after all, this purge was only aimed at hostile elements, and it was not the same as the large-scale purge in 1924, which extended the scope to all those who opposed the National Socialist Party and those who opposed Chen Jingyun, you must know that there were more than a dozen high-ranking officials arrested in the purge that year, and even several lieutenant generals of the military were removed from their posts by Chen Jingyun, and the total number of people involved exceeded one million. The Great Purge of 1924 affected no less than two million people.
Compared with the large-scale purge of the year, this time the investigation bureau's action is much smaller.
The Investigation Bureau was operating in the country, while the Military Intelligence Department concentrated its forces on launching various intelligence operations in the country, and the assassination of core members of the Kuomintang was only one aspect.
Although it has a certain impact on the Sino-Chinese war, it is not big on the whole, and it is the war that really determines the fate of the two countries!
In particular, in the Korean Campaign, after the advance in late November and December, the Chinese Army had already sent six infantry divisions of two armies, as well as the Fourth Cavalry Division and two artillery brigades to Korea. These units were previously deployed on the border of the Yalu River in North Korea. In fact, there are more troops on the way, such as the 1st Armored Division, the 5th Motorized Infantry Division, and the 9th Motorized Infantry Division of the 1st Armored Army stationed in the northeast region, which have been drawn from their garrisons one after another, preparing to enter the DPRK.
The Third Armored Corps was the only armored force deployed in Northeast China, and the First Armored Division and the Ninth Motorized Infantry Division also participated in the Sino-Japanese War in 1923 and made great contributions. At present, China's armored forces are organized into three armored corps, the First Armored Corps under the jurisdiction of the First Armored Division, the Fifth Motorized Infantry Division, and the Ninth Motorized Infantry Division. The Second Armored Corps is deployed in the Siberian region of Russia, with jurisdiction over the 2nd Armored Division, the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, and the 6th Motorized Infantry Division. The Third Armored Corps is deployed in Hebei and Shandong, and has the Third Armored Division under its jurisdiction and the Second and Third Motorized Infantry Divisions that are still being trained.
Among the above three armored forces, the First Panzer Army naturally mainly dealt with the Chinese army, while the Second Panzer Army mainly dealt with Soviet Russia. The Third Armored Corps, on the other hand, was just established this year, and plans to reequip the Second Infantry Division and the Third Infantry Division into motorized infantry divisions and station them in Hebei, Shandong, and other places. It's just that the second and third divisions are still being reorganized and trained, and the tanks needed by the tank battalions in these two motorized infantry divisions are not complete, and other heavy equipment is not ready.
The construction of the Chinese Army's motorized infantry division is different from that of the armored division, which is reorganized after drawing a part of the backbone of the armored division from other armored units. As for the motorized infantry division, it was adapted from the original infantry unit. The reason is also very simple, because it is very difficult for the Chinese Army to add a new number, and the armored division is okay, but the motorized infantry division is a cavalry division, and there are not too many possible surnames. Not to mention the increase in the number of cavalry divisions, it is difficult to preserve even the existing four cavalry divisions, and the army is already preparing to convert two of these cavalry divisions into motorized units, although they will still bear the name of cavalry divisions, but in fact they will evolve into motorized infantry divisions. As for the infantry units, in mid-1923, the war did not increase the size of even a division, let alone other times.
