Chapter 135: Shocked at home and abroad

On the outskirts of Kunming, the Southwest People's Army and the Guards Division are stationed.
In the southwest of August, it is extremely hot. As one of the famous stoves in the world, Kunming is like a scorching earth, spreading endless heat waves in all directions. Close to the ground, the temperature is scary, and you can see the flashing traces of heat waves.
The large camp, located in the jungle, looks like a steamer, so that everyone in it will be sweated. The troops were running to gather because their division chief, Zhang Shu, the highest commander of the Southwest People's Army, was born. "One two one ..."
Zhang Shusheng and Li Junming, a deputy head of the Guards Division and a political commissar, were watching the training of the Guards on the sidelines.
The training of the Guards Division is more stringent than that of other troops. Winter, winter, winter, summer, winter, summer, winter, winter, summer, winter, summer, summer, winter, summer, summer, winter, summer, summer, fall, and winter. In addition to daily training, they also have long distance training. Either go to the primitive jungle at the border between Yunnan and Burma for jungle training, or drive to Sichuan and enter the northern Sichuan plateau for altitude training. They can be seen in a variety of terrains, including mountains and mountains.
The officers and men of the entire division are composed of elite soldiers drawn from various units, and a considerable part of them are professional veterans with many years of experience. They have strong combat skills and sturdy combat style.
Their uniform is a special camouflage, which is different from the ordinary camouflage training uniforms widely equipped by the Southwest People's Army. This special camouflage is a new type of camouflage training uniform similar to digital camouflage, which has better concealment effect in actual combat. . Because the production cost is relatively high, the Southwest Army did not have extensive equipment, but only issued the most elite Guard Division.
"Booming ..."
In the thunder, tanks drove out of the jungle and drove directly into the field camp. Because the cost of the Southwest Army was too great, Zhang Shusheng's allocation standard for the Guard Division was higher than the main division, but it also had to be in line with reality. Therefore, the Guard Division currently belongs to the Motorized Infantry Division. The core of its equipment is tanks, heavy artillery, anti-aircraft anti-aircraft artillery, and a large number of personnel trucks.
This is the most pragmatic configuration method, which is higher than the main division, but it is not wasteful. From the perspective of comprehensive soldiers, a guard division can match the combat effectiveness of almost two main divisions.
"The training of the guards must be carried out quickly. The current situation is not good. We must always be ready to fight big battles and fight vicious battles." Zhang Shusheng held his fists and said with some concern. Now it is early August 1931. According to the original historical trajectory, the September 18th Incident will occur next month. In fact, he also hoped that he had completely changed history. The Japanese did not curl up on the island country, and Chiang Kai-shek was quickly defeated by himself.
However, contrary to their wishes, instead of changing their established strategy because of their rise, the Japanese have strengthened the Kanto Army. The addition of a new division of the Kanto Army shows the Japanese's determination to invade China, and the intelligence summary of various aspects also shows that the Japanese are planning intensively.
For Chiang Kai-shek ’s Nanjing government, the first three batches of aid from the three countries were very rapid. In addition to a group of industrial machinery, a large number of weapons and equipment, including a large number of heavy weapons, were shipped to Chiang Kai-shek last year. Chiang Kai-shek, which has the support of the three countries, was favored by the Shanghai Bankers Group and wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and received a loan repaid by taxes. With money and guns, the reorganization operation of the Nanjing government started vigorously.
As of June 1931, Chiang Kai-shek has completed the reorganization plan of five ace divisions and more ordinary divisions through loans, loans, foreign aid arms, and arms purchases. Taking Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, Henan and other places as the core, the army is reorganized, training is strengthened, uniform dressing is unified, and military barnyard standards are unified, and it is bound to create its own iron sphere of influence.
Although the Nanjing government is in debt, Jiang Jieshi, lobbied by the Three Kingdoms, also realized that if proper reforms are not carried out, the peasant uprising in Guangdong may be staged elsewhere. The Southwest approach is undoubtedly correct, so that these farmers can live Only then can we alleviate social conflicts temporarily. Regardless of his opposition, he issued a death order to exempt as many as 80 heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes. In the coastal areas of the Nanjing government, people ’s lives have gradually improved, but in remote places, policies are difficult to implement, and the people are still in hot water.
Correspondingly, a large number of goods from the three countries have begun to be sold into the jurisdiction of the Nanjing government, while Southwest products have become targets of police and even military smuggling. The sale of Southwest products is strictly prohibited. Only British, French, Russian and other countries are allowed to sell. The product was another death order issued by the Chiang Kai-shek to the Nanjing government.
"The soldiers are struggling and want to fight." Li Junming, the deputy commander of the Guards Division, said with emotion, "The ideological and political work of the troops is usually to liberate more compatriots and protect the country. The mood of officers and soldiers is very high. "
In 1929, during the reform of the army, the original instructor system was changed to the political committee system. Also in 1929, Zhang Shusheng explicitly put forward the political proposal of the Southwest Government, that is, to let more people, whether workers or peasants, rich or poor, try their best to make everyone better off. .
Wealthy people at home, punished Di at the outside, and realized the great revival of Huaxia.
At the same time, in the ordinary political and ideological work, the army political commissar has repeatedly educated officers and men. Compared with western powers, China is still too backward. A backward nation who wants to achieve great revival needs a powerful military. As a thick shield, uniting the government internally and declaring sovereignty to the outside world can maximize the struggle for the survival of the Chinese nation to be revived.
While imperialism's ambitions are immortal, it will inevitably not sit idly by with the rise of the Chinese. Then, war will become an important process on the rise of Huaxia.
Zhang Shusheng looked northwards and said lightly: "There will be war, don't worry. The ideological work of the army must be hurry up. An alternative equality should be established between officers and soldiers. For some families of soldiers in difficulty, it is necessary to boldly use military funds Give subsidies. It is difficult for everyone to help everyone. Don't let the soldiers worry about things at home while they work for the nation. "
Zhang Shusheng took the lead in advocating the establishment of the military fund, and also took the lead in donating a large sum of money. The other part is that the officers and soldiers will give it out by themselves. Only a small part will be contributed by one person, and the accumulation will be small. The military fund has become the hope of the difficult officers and soldiers. Supervision is also in place. Each unit has an officer committee responsible for managing the money, and the use of the fund needs to be signed by the party's superior and the unit commander and political commissar.
Some officers and men's homes are really too poor, and they do n’t say anything when they are sick. In some families, there are only seven or eight brothers and sisters. It is really difficult to rely on a soldier. More serious is the disability at home. Even with government subsidies, life is still tight. At this time, military funds can be used.
"Relax, Chief. Yesterday I also approved several applications. Some officers and soldiers did not want to let everyone know about personal matters, but the grass-roots political commissars took the initiative to discover these problems and applied for subsidies." Li Junminghui reported.
"Well, the military fund is going to be used by soldiers. This is a concern for their families. The children's mothers are worried. After the war comes, the military fund will play a greater role."
As the army was about to expand again, Zhang Shusheng did not blindly pursue the good-looking figures, but expanded the army reasonably while ensuring the combat effectiveness. Of course, the care for officers and soldiers is also strictly enforced. He is well aware that in the future, there will be many great battles and vicious battles. Thousands of officers and soldiers will be the group with the most blood and sacrifice. Only by treating these loveliest and most respectable soldiers as the backbone of the country, the soldiers will die, and the rejuvenation of the nation can be guaranteed.

Kanto Army headquarters.
Ishihara Waner and stinking partner Itagaki Seishiro got together again, the same home pub that was a year ago, and the beautiful Hokkaido girl song in a kimono, but the mood of the two was completely different from last year. At that time, the two great ambitions met the Kanto Army, and they felt sorry for each other. They were quite confidant. They were also full of confidence in the military movement of the Great Japanese Empire and were optimistic about the future of the Kanto Army.
"Ishihara-kun, how's the result?" Itagaki Masashiro sipped his drink mutely. Recently, apart from his interest in war, other interests have become less and less. Of course, there is also wine. Those women who used to love the most have not touched each other for a long time now. The two of them have been brothers and brothers in this matter. They lie on the woman's belly for a long time, but they cannot hold the gun at all.
Ishihara smiled and added a little wine to Ishigaki Shigaki, and laughed, "Ishihara-kun was not bad. The members of the Second Leaf Society of the year, after more than ten years, have not become cowards, and they all support our actions. Shao Hana and Captain Shinta both supported our plan. Fengtian's gendarmerie captain Kiyoshi Mitsuya also agreed to cooperate.
Itagaki, this world will eventually belong to a unified system. And I think that its center will decide on the battle for hegemony between the United States as the Western representative and Japan as the Toyo player. China should quickly qualify as a Toyo player. And only the Northeast of that person can meet our needs. The vast area, huge resources, countless labor, and food alone can make the entire empire worry-free. "
"I also read Ishihara ’s theory of the ultimate war in the world, and I really take it seriously. It should be a great resource for the empire. In the future, those timid and cowardly guys can survive under the wings of the Japanese Empire. Without having to worry about foreign puppets. "
"What do you think of Itagaki about the southwest?" Ishihara Waner was still impressed by the Major of the Kwantung Army. According to information, the Iron Major had actually been promoted. "Chinese soldiers are not all cowards, and Qu Zhongyi, who graduated from Huangpu Military Academy, is an opponent."
"Well, Qu Zhongyi behaves strangely, and is very different from the conservative and weak supporter. This person will be an annoyance to us, so I deliberately contacted a few more young and imperial soldiers of the Empire. I originally expected the first batch of investment. The power used is too thin and must be strengthened. More troops and more artillery will be put into this operation. "Itagaki Shishiro was impressed by the Chinese officer who pointed his gun at him. Strangely, he There is no slight hatred for Qu Zhongyi, but there is another kind of revenge, "For Qu Zhongyi, I feel that one's strength can never change the whole of Chinna's backwardness."
Ishihara smiled and shook his head: "I hope that the future of such an empire will use these soldiers as blood sacrifices."
"Cheers for the Imperial Martial Arts"
"Cheers"
"Campmaster, last night's harvest has been counted, which is 20,000 oceans."
The deputy of the camp wished to list all the gains of the special war battalion last night in the booklet. The brothers of the second battalion went out one night and copied two of the most sinister landlords.
"Well, you count it, and then give it to the brigadier, and let him buy more submachine guns for us. American, German, or Southwestern can do it. The key is to unify the model, in batches, not to be scattered. Configuration. What we lack most now is the submachine gun. "
Over the past year, the special war battalion's investment has been huge. At the beginning, General Wang Yizhe continued to support, but later, the entire Seventh Brigade fell into a tight military position. In the face of this situation, Qu Zhongyi had to do it himself, and sent troops out for a walk in ten and a half months to copy the evidence of the guilty and extremely sinful landlords or corrupt officials. People can't kill, but the gold and silver goods are swept away.
In this way, the equipment of the Second Battalion of the Special Warfare became more and more sophisticated. In addition to the five chariots specially approved by Zhang Xueliang, the configuration of the Czech light machine guns and mortars has reached the first-class standard of the Northeast Army. Even Zhang Xueliang himself had proposed to Lieutenant General Wang Yizhe to transfer this well-equipped and trained special war battalion to his side as a pro-army. He even wanted to follow this method and train more elite soldiers, but when Zhang Shaoshuai knew the cost of such training, he quietly dispelled this idea.
Wang Yizhe shoved Zhang Xueliang's mediation order on the grounds that the Japanese were so powerful that he would not be good for the Northeast. It also caused Zhang Xueliang to a certain degree of dissatisfaction. The matter that was originally intended to promote Qu Zhongyi as head of the group was put on hold.
General Wang Yizhe understood people and the results of Qu Zhongyi's training, and he had a good understanding of the threat of the Kwantung Army. Therefore, not only did he block Zhang Shaoshuai's order, but he also kept an eye on his behavior of secretly raising military expenses.
It can be said that Qu Zhongyi's battalion at this time, in terms of training and equipment, exceeded the current equivalent number of the Kwantung Army. But in artillery, Qu Zhongyi's battalion suffered.
Qu Zhongyi returned to the battalion commander's office and called the captain of the reconnaissance team responsible for the Japanese reconnaissance. "What's happening to the Japanese recently?"
"At present, the Japanese Kanto Army has reached the establishment of three divisions, especially the chariot unit, and it seems to have been strengthened. The Japanese devils of the independent defense team have recently been mobilized frequently and seem to have any major actions." The captain reported truthfully.
"Well, this fart is bigger, it's just our two sides. We are guarding the Japanese, why aren't the Japanese dealing with us. Sooner or later, we have to meet someone high and low." Qu Zhongyi hated.
"Campmaster rest assured that we have nearly 10,000 guns in Beijing Camp and the weapons and equipment are not bad. As long as General Wang sits in the camp, the Japanese will not attack us unless they use divisions."
Qu Zhongyi shook his head. "If history depends on various assumptions or if so, then there will not be so many things that cause people to regret it. Hope everything goes well."
Although Qu Zhongyi also believed that as long as Wang Yizhe was in the North Camp, the camp was safe. However, after years of modern military education, he knew that war was always full of chance and necessity. If a war between China and Japan is inevitable sooner or later, then what will happen by chance? Could it be the defeat of the Northeast Army?
He didn't dare to think about it. He just wanted to do his job well and do his best to achieve his set goals. Then he called Zhu Zhuo, to let him pay attention to the ideological work of the army, to instill the idea of ​​fighting, and also to immediately recall soldiers on sick leave or out.
He felt a sense of oppression, like the sullenness before the storm, with the feeling that his whole body was crushed to death. His intuition told him that there would be a major event, and as a soldier, the so-called major event was a battle.
Qu Zhongyi was right. It was only a week later that he had just inspected the soldier's dormitory and was going to go back to rest. He suddenly heard a violent explosion from a distance. At first, he thought it was the sound of a cannon, but then, only momentarily, he realized that the direction of the explosion was the Wicker Lake Railway.
"Assembly, emergency assembly"
It is almost a natural intuition of soldiers ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This big explosion sounded like a thunderous thunder in Qu Zhongyi's mind, but it was only an instant that he understood one thing: Little Japan is expected to repeat the trick. Do what they are best at thieves.
Fifteen minutes later, the scouts who went to the reconnaissance ran back on horseback, fell off the horse, and shouted, "The commander of the battalion, the Japanese railway was blown up, and a large number of the Kwantung Army and the garrison are heading towards Beidaying."
"The Japanese really did." Qu Zhongyi smashed the ceramic tea cup in his hand and snapped, "Hurry up, blow the assembly number, and give Lao Tzu an urgent assembly. I wish you to contact General Wang immediately and ask him Return to Beida Camp, preside over military affairs "
Coincidentally, it was precisely at this juncture that General Wang Yizhe was not in the Beijing Camp, but went to the city to see the commander of the Northeast Frontier Rongzhen.
At 9:05 pm on September 17, 1931, the Japanese blew up a section of the Wicker Lake Railway, slandering the Northeast Army and destroying the railway, in order to strengthen the brigade's strength, with the cooperation of artillery and chariots, it was launched to the Northeast Army's North Camp. Violent sudden attack
The 9/17 incident that shocked China and foreign countries just happened, and the war of Japanese aggression against China started a new prologue. ()
