Chapter 319: Re-evaluating the Sichuan Army

Previously, when the Sichuan Army marched out of Sichuan, the Nanjing Command's scheme to "replace the birds in the cage" was seen through by the Sichuan Army.

The equipment replaced by the Sichuan Army was also all transported back to Sichuan Province.

Originally, the plan of Dai Chunfeng and Qian Dajun was to have the Sichuan Army expand its forces.

The Sichuan Army could not afford to support so many troops; without weapons, they could not recruit men either.

But now, the reality is exactly the opposite.

The Chuan-Kang Pacification Office actually launched a land reform movement, and the various warlords of the Sichuan Army also set an example.

Then, they carried out vigorous training within Sichuan Province and dealt with the large landowning families who did not obey orders.

This truly shocked quite a few people!

Especially Bai Zhuge and Li Delin of the Guangxi Clique; it took these two a long time to recover their senses.

After the two sides bargained, the Arsenal in Sichuan Province would provide 10,000 Mauser 98K Rifles and 2,000 Type 26 General Purpose Machine Guns every six months.

As for the Type 92 Infantry Gun, it directly became a weapon at the Division level, with three guns equipped per Division.

Given that the Fifth War Zone was currently extremely lacking in manpower, the Sichuan Army's 22nd Group Army under Sun Zhen and the 27th Group Army under Yang Sen were deployed.

Each Regiment could only have nine Czech Light Machine Guns, three Maxim Heavy Machine Guns, and three Mortars.

So as not to let their home be stolen!

At the Shanhu Residence!

Regarding the demands of the Sichuan Army!

The generals of the Nanjing Command were also discussing them.

If the Sichuan Army's several Group Armies were allowed to gather in one war zone again, wouldn't it turn the world upside down?

Lao Chang even cursed loudly: "Mother of a bitch..."

If there is any matter, everyone can discuss it with each other; do not hide things.

However, the military and political officials of the Nanjing Command, except for the agreement of the Guangxi Clique and the Yunnan Army.

The rifles were fully equipped all at once, but regarding the Light and Heavy Machine Guns, Mortars, and Type 92 Infantry Guns.

The remaining one Army needed to take the Chuan-Shaan Highway to the First War Zone and take a train to the Fifth War Zone.

The 88th Army under Fan Shaozeng remained in Sichuan Province as a reserve force for the Sichuan Army Second Route Army.

Fortunately, Yu Hua had planned ahead; when the Arsenal in Sichuan Province produced Weaponry.

Yu Hua also told the many generals of the Sichuan Army that after leaving Sichuan, the Sichuan Army would be divided among several war zones.

After Pan Wenhua and Deng Xihou bargained with the people of the Nanjing Command.

Moreover, regarding anti-aircraft weapons, the M2 Heavy Machine Gun newly researched by the Sichuan Army.

When the Sichuan Army marched out of Sichuan to fight, it possessed autonomous operational rights in every war zone; the Nanjing Command could not bypass the Chuan-Kang Pacification Office and the Second Route Army Headquarters.

The Sichuan Army Second Route Army had 7 Group Armies under its jurisdiction.

The effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkey appeared immediately.

They were very clear about what the Old Man was thinking in his heart.

Now the marching speed on the roads was much faster than it had been half a year ago when they left Sichuan.

Bai Zhuge, Minister He, and Xu Yongchang and others also realized that the Type 26 Submachine Gun and General Purpose Machine Gun used by the Sichuan Army.

After Zhang Hanqing stepped down, only the Guangxi Clique Army could arm-wrestle with Lao Chang's direct subordinates.

Among them, the 20th Army under the 27th Group Army, commanded by Yang Sen, traveled by train from Anhui Province to the Fifth War Zone.

The Guangxi Clique Army was far superior to the Sichuan Army, the Northwest Army, and the Yunnan Army!

Now that the Sichuan Army had suddenly become so strong, it made Bai Zhuge and Li Delin have to re-evaluate the Sichuan Army.

Both of them also said that they could provide the cost price!

After all, this factory was opened by foreign agents, and the foreigners also wanted to make money.

As replacement troops, they temporarily used the weapons replaced by the two Group Armies that had previously left Sichuan.

Today's Chuan-Shaan Highway, under the construction of the Sichuan Army, had seen its roads expanded.

The 28th Group Army under Pan Wenhua, led by Guo Rudong, was to immediately set off for the Third War Zone as a war zone reserve force.

The Sichuan Army had suddenly erupted with such powerful strength.

This batch of ordnance also made the Nanjing Command very satisfied.

After both sides achieved their goals.

After more than half a year of construction, the Chuan-Shaan Highway had taken on a brand-new look.

Right now, they had also obtained considerable real power; the Sichuan Army could not be concentrated in one war zone.

They also felt a bit disappointed in their hearts, but now the Fifth War Zone, the Second War Zone, and the Third War Zone.

Many of the others also did not approve of the Sichuan Army gathering in one war zone.

The appointments made by the Nanjing Command were also issued to the Second Route Army Headquarters.

Especially since the factories in Sichuan Province had produced cement, this material was used on the Chuan-Shaan Highway at the first opportunity.

The Fifth War Zone was tight on manpower; Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua also used the radio to contact the 22nd Group Army and the 27th Group Army.

The various generals, seeing Yu Hua say this, all understood that this time the Sichuan Army was united.

Directly mobilizing Sichuan Army units to fight, with the exception of Tang Shizun's 23rd Group Army.

The Sichuan Army units, after several battles.

Only with such a configuration could the five Group Armies barely take shape!

Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua also sighed with emotion.

Five hundred M2 Heavy Machine Guns!

The two of them could only strive for the cost price from the foreigners to sell to the many military and political officials in Jinling.

Wang Zanxu's 29th Group Army and Wang Lingji's 30th Group Army, as the reserve force of the Sichuan Army Second Route Army, were prepared to depart Sichuan at any time.

The remaining 5 group armies were all equipped with Hanyang-made Rifles!

Because the speed of expansion was too fast, even though the Sichuan Army possessed its own Arsenal;

it could not immediately satisfy the weaponry needs of so many group armies now.

He also had to depart Sichuan!

Currently, Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua were in full charge of all affairs in Sichuan Province, and the two had to remain at the center of command.

The various generals of the Sichuan Army also had to communicate with one another to avoid being defeated one by one by the Nanjing Command.

Yu Hua, as Chief of Staff of the Sichuan Army Second Route Army, concurrently served as Regimental Commander of the Independent Regiment.

One-third must be left behind and stored in Sichuan Province.

Several warlords of the Sichuan Army were eating the barbecue made by Yu Hua.

Fortunately!

The main force was departing Sichuan!

It would be held in three days.

The troop strength to march to the Fifth War Zone had been issued!

Dai Chunfeng and Qian Dajun, Lin Wei, Tang Zong, and others were all aware that the Sichuan Army had now shown itself to be this powerful.

Remember one thing, and that is no matter how sweet the Nanjing Command speaks, one must never trust them;

only by uniting with forces that share the same interests as us and maneuvering with them can there be a way to survive.

Although Pan Wenhua tried his best to lobby for a re-planning of a war zone to allow several Sichuan Army group armies to be gathered and used together.

The Sichuan Army's Arsenal also had to support the Republic of China Army with a batch of weapons.

There were also Mauser 98K Rifles, which were also very good weapons.

Immediately march to the Fifth War Zone to participate in the Xuzhou Battle!

This made the common people of the entire province have a strong desire to join the army, willing to join the Sichuan Army even without military pay.

The 5 group armies organized and trained this time!

This guy was also very capable; it could target the air and the ground, simply a multi-functional weapon.

The sense of happiness of the common people in Sichuan Province was satisfied, and now they all actively supported the Chuan-Kang Pacification Office.

The Nanjing Command would certainly try to lure them again, so everyone had to be careful.

After half a year of production, the Sichuan Army possessed so much Weaponry.

The Nanjing Command also began to discuss the issue of the remaining few group armies of the Sichuan Army departing Sichuan.

Therefore, the newly organized and trained five group armies were equipped with Hanyang-made Rifles at the first opportunity, allowing the entire group army to possess weapons first.

Of course, for the supported weapons, they also had to pay money to purchase them from the Sichuan Army Arsenal, Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua.

At the same time, Li Jiayu's 36th Group Army was in the mountainous areas of Southern Shanxi in the 2nd War Zone, blocking the Japanese Army from the Jinyang region from moving south.

As for Weaponry, the Security Force, subordinate to the Chuan-Kang Pacification Office, remained to guard Sichuan Province.

They were also in urgent need of reinforcements, and the Sichuan Army could not delay any longer.

Among the original Local Army!

The various warlords of the Sichuan Army also accepted this plan.

At the same time!

It actually erupted with such powerful strength, holding the Nanjing Command in its grip.

Everyone expressed one after another that they would certainly communicate with each other when the time came and unite again to resist the Nanjing Command.
