I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 211: January 6, start accounting (3)

Song Wenwan wrote on the small blackboard: Armored troops: 7,000 people.

Then Song Wenwan explained something to Zhou Weiguo with a bad look on her face.

“Weiguo, I will do my best to provide you with the equipment that your Armored Academy needs.

The number of motor soldiers and tank soldiers is not enough, you need to train more.

When the time comes, you can discuss the specific plan with Brother Jiu and Political Commissar Mo.

When necessary, all the soldiers staying in Gannan should learn to drive a car.

In this way, it will be easier for you to recruit soldiers after the armored rapid reaction force is established.

But they need to train separately, so don't let anyone know about the tanks."

The reason why Political Commissar Mo was called in for this matter was to prepare for the establishment of the "Gansu-Shaanxi Driving School" in Hengshan, northern Shaanxi.

Suo Wuxing asked, "Brother Song, you only arranged work for them, what about me?"

Song Wenwan said: "You are the deputy commander-in-chief of the 46th Army after all.

Why don't you think about exchanging jobs with Qin Haichuan and going out for a walk to relieve your stress by playing with the devils? "

Suo Wuxing was overjoyed. It was finally his turn and he could go out of Gansu to fight against the Japanese.

What Suo Wuxing didn't know was that it was also the old man of the Suo family who wanted him to come out.

Qin Haichuan is not idle in Shanxi, his spring has come.

The reason why the deputy commanders of the 46th Army Group were swapped was that Qin Haichuan was planning to bring his fiancée back to see her parents.

When the old man of the Suo family heard about this, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Find Song Wenwan immediately and tell him to throw Suo Wuxing to North China and not to come back until he finds a wife.

Later, everyone realized the benefits of not changing the Eighth Route Army uniforms for the time being.

At least in the Gansu Army, they were not subject to the restrictions of the "258th Regiment" when they got married.

Otherwise, before 1942, Suo Wuxing and Qin Haichuan would not have reached the age of 25.

Now that we have talked about other types of troops, it is time to count the cavalry of the Gannan coalition forces.

Huo Jiaqiang stood up and reported: "My Gannan First Cavalry Division still has more than 11,000 people.

I said to Commander Song, if you don't let us go out to fight the Japanese, my subordinates will be poached by them.

If I hadn't been on guard, my cavalry regiment would have become an armored regiment."

There was a low laugh in the conference room, and Song Wenwan understood immediately.

This is Hao Dadan, who went to poach Huo Jiaqiang's girlfriend, but was discovered by people from the cavalry division.

Song Wenwan said, "You should recruit soldiers now. We will let you go out to fight the Japanese this year."

Huo Jiaqiang asked excitedly: "Commander, do you want me to go to Shanxi or Jiangnan this time?"

Song Wenwan: "Go to Suiyuan, the Eighth War Zone there, the anti-Japanese scope is very good.

If you go there, you can kill the devils to your heart's content."

Song Wenwan’s established policy was to withstand the Japanese attack on the domestic battlefield.

Internationally, we should encourage the Japanese to move south as quickly as possible and start a war with Europe and the United States to seize territory.

Since Europe and the United States turned a blind eye to Japan's invasion of China, no one could expect to remain unscathed in World War II.

Now comes the highlight of this meeting, an inventory of the army.

Everyone wants to know to what extent their strength has grown.

At this time, Ren Jiuge, Chief of Staff of the 46th Army, stood up and began to report.

"With our current strength in Shanxi, we don't have to be afraid of the pressure from the Second Theater.

Even with the cooperation with the Eighth Route Army, they had already defeated the Japanese.

Deputy Commander Qin Haichuan is in the open in the Second War Zone, and the size of the troops remains unchanged.

It is still the 3rd and 4th guerrilla detachments and an artillery marine brigade.

There is also a temporary division under Major General Xie, plus an artillery regiment.

After our reinforcement of troops, the two teams and one brigade have nearly 38,000 people.

An artillery regiment has 4,000 men, and Major General Xie's temporary division has also been strengthened to 15,000 men."

Song Wenwan wrote on the blackboard again, Qin Haichuan: Fifty-seven thousand people.

The Gansu Army’s military strength in Shanxi is now very strong.

Because the gun ownership rate of their soldiers is much higher than that of the Japanese army.

In addition to the three divisions of the Sichuan Army, the National Army in the Second War Zone had a lot of replenishment of firearms.

The gun ownership rate of most Kuomintang troops was not even half of that of the Gansu Army.

Therefore, if any conflict really happened, Qin Haichuan could do it at any time and seize the weapons of the more than 200,000 national troops.

It should not be the National Army of more than 200,000, there are also more than 40,000 Sichuan Army Division among them.

They might choose not to help either side, but they would never point their guns at the Gansu Army.

They have been rejected by the Second War Zone once, and now they will never try to please the Second War Zone again.

Brother Ren Jiu continued, "It's in the base area of ​​Jiaozuo, Henan, near Shanxi.

Our Captain Wu of Wu Longcheng has already started living the life of a column commander.

The regular main force under his command has reached 30,000 people.

There were about 20,000 militiamen, village liaison teams, district squads, and county brigades who obeyed his orders near Jiaozuo.

Although most of these teams are composed of armed masses.

But the worst ones they have are the old ones.

He often cooperated with the Gansu Detachment and the Eighth Route Army to besiege the enemy's strongholds, and his combat effectiveness was quite good."

Song Wenwan wrote down neatly on the small blackboard: Wulong City, Henan: 30,000 troops.

Brother Ren Jiu: "Deputy Chief of General Staff Guan Zhan is also very successful in Jiangnan.

In just half a year, the Jiangnan Militia First Division under his command has developed very well.

There are already four infantry brigades, and the strength has reached 30,000 men."

Song Wenwan nodded. Jiangnan is still the base camp of the national army.

The reason why the First Militia Division, which was in charge of warfare, was able to develop so rapidly was because he was from the Whampoa Military Academy.

As the deputy chief of staff of the Gansu Army, Guan Zhan had abundant supplies.

So he can help his seniors and juniors from time to time.

This earned him a great reputation for his altruism among the Whampoa military officers in the south.

It’s just that my junior wants to recruit a few soldiers. What’s the big deal? As long as he can afford it, let him do whatever he wants!

Song Wenwan finally counted the total number on the blackboard, a total of 350,000 troops.

Apart from the good development of my nephew, why are the number of soldiers in Gannan becoming less and less?

Song Wenwan counted it over and over again, and the number was the same as before.

He couldn't help scratching his head, and finally let Zhou Weiguo speak.

"Weiguo, you have the highest academic qualifications among them. After all, you are a top student of the Munich Military Academy.

Please help me analyze why the number of troops in Gannan is decreasing?"

"ah"?

Zhou Weiguo was stunned by Song Wenwan's question. He didn't expect that his commander would ask him this question.

Zhou Weiguo looked at the data on the small blackboard and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Commander Song, didn't you notice?

The reason why the military strength seems to be reduced is not because the troops have not been well developed.

Although they have developed, many of their infantry regiments have been divided up by the navy, air force and armored forces.

Also, Commander Song, the last time we counted the total number of troops, there were 300,000. Do you remember what month that was?"

Song Wenwan said: "Well, it seems to be at the end of July!"

Zhou Weiguo: “Commander Song, it’s only been six months, and each detachment has been fighting the Japanese.

In such a short time, we have added 50,000 regular troops, and you are still not satisfied?"
