Chapter 349: Armed to the Teeth
After Lin Zhizhong received this information.
He immediately sent a telegram to Yu Hua, reporting the current situation in the cities surrounding Lincheng.
The Independent Brigade of the Chuan-Kang Pacification Office was indeed equipped with radios.
The Independent Brigade possessed two regiments, an Artillery Battalion, an Engineer Battalion, a cavalry battalion, and other units.
The two regiments were equipped with longwave radios, while the Artillery Battalion and Engineer Battalion directly under the brigade headquarters were equipped with shortwave radios.
After the Bianliang military conference.
Sun Zhen and Yang Sen, knowing that Li Delin was commanding this battle, asked Chang Kaishen for a large amount of ammunition.
In addition, the 10th Division's cavalry, field gun, engineer, and transport regiments were all present.
Bai Zhuge, standing to the side, was also amused.
Returned to Xuzhou!
In order to show the importance he placed on the Fifth War Zone, Chang Kaishen.
As the war dragged on, the Japanese Army rapidly expanded its forces, organizing and training many Special Divisions.
"However, I must emphasize one point."
"I'll say the ugly things first: if you Sichuan Army fight poorly, I will curse your ancestors."
Li Delin laughed: "How so?"
Sun Zhen and Yang Sen, along with Yu Hua, at the invitation of Li Delin and Bai Zhuge.
They decided to just meet now and lay everything out on the table.
And there were also Zhu, Mao, and others who had been under constant pursuit!
The three parties privately signed the Chuan-Gui-Hong Agreement to jointly resist Chang Kaishen and force him to resist the Japanese.
Marshal Liu had also had deep-level contact with the Yaodong side;
Because, during this period, the Japanese Army only had 17 Permanent Divisions, and the troops had not yet been expanded.
This time leaving Chuan!
This indicated that the soldiers of the 10th Division were all recruited from the Himeji region.
"Our Sichuan Army, after leaving Chuan this time, has been burned by others before."
Subsequently, Li Delin introduced the configuration of the 10th Division.
If it weren't for the staff officers around Marshal Liu, who countered every move and stabilized the situation.
In the early years!
The 10th Division was also known as the Himeji 10th Division.
"Let us look at the map first."
The Sichuan Army's weapons and ammunition were basically all transported from Sichuan Province by the Fujian Province Company.
The war zone's weapons and ammunition were currently stored in the war zone's warehouses.
Bai Zhuge smoothed things over from the side: "Let's discuss this matter later."
There was still a portion of the shortfall that had not been filled!
"Its total troop strength has already reached over forty thousand men."
"We are all Southerners, belonging to the same Southwest camp."
Li Delin had once told all the Local Army forces, as well as the Central Army.
The Japanese soldiers recruited were also recruited from the division management districts.
Li Delin looked at Sun Zhen: "Regarding the weapons and ammunition, I certainly will not treat the Sichuan Army unfairly."
Machine guns, grenade launchers, hand grenades, etc., for the two group armies of the Sichuan Army.
Under its jurisdiction were two brigades.
At the time, they even supported the Yaodong side with 20 silver dollars and other supplies.
Therefore, they often used the location of the division management district to refer to the Japanese divisions.
"These two men are very arrogant now!"
The Japanese division's text code was also called a common designation.
Deducting from the weapons and ammunition!
The 10th Division!
Sun Zhen and Yang Sen, upon hearing Bai Zhuge say this.
To put it bluntly!
The purpose of the Japanese division's common designation was specifically established for the sake of secrecy.
"Are you afraid I will be like Yan Laoxi?"
The 22nd Group Army!
As the main force for blocking the Isogai Rensuke division.
Of course!
"Would I deceive you Sichuan Army?"
"I might even execute military law; when that time comes, don't blame me for not being considerate."
"Come, come, come!"
"Our Sichuan Army will certainly not let you down."
The two group armies of the Sichuan Army, as the backbone of this Taierzhuang Campaign.
"Therefore, we like to be direct when doing things now."
Bai Zhuge and Li Delin waved their hands, indicating it was of no concern.
"The Japanese Army 10th Division, attached to the Segaya Detachment."
"Moreover, when Marshal Liu was alive, there was an agreement between us."
These things did not enter the pockets of the Sichuan Army, and Sun Zhen and Yang Sen were also not very at ease.
"Old Sun, Old Yang!"
"The equipment for my two Sichuan Army group armies, I ask the war zone to replenish as soon as possible."
"The weaponry of my Fifth War Zone is not something that can be easily obtained."
The Japanese soldiers of each regiment were almost all from the same hometown.
After the Supreme Command Headquarters and the war zone finished using the Sichuan Army, the remaining weapons and ammunition were simply not replenished.
"The 'Iron' Division is already on the road to reinforce!"
The two of them smiled awkwardly: "Chief of Staff Bai, Commander Li!"
"Judging from the latest intelligence, the vanguard of the Isogai Rensuke division moving south."
"We have a foundation of trust."
"The division commander of the 10th Division is Isogai Rensuke, and the chief of staff is Tsutsumi Fukaki."
For example, when reinforcements go to reinforce, it is very likely that the telegram would be written like this: "Must hold the position."
Chang Kaishen's main force, in the name of suppressing bandits, entered Sichuan Province and simultaneously infiltrated Guangxi Province.
However, in terms of heavy weapons, there was still a relative lack.
"Already in Zou County and Liangxiadian!"
The 8th Brigade, Brigade Commander Nagase Buhei, governs the Numata Takazo 39th Regiment and the Nishijo Futoshi 40th Regiment;
Regarding the series of encounters of the Sichuan Army, the two of them were also very clear.
Ammunition and weapons naturally require a lot.
Sun Zhen and Yang Sen, the two of them patted their chests and said: "Please rest assured, Commander Li."
In a full-strength state!
Plus!
The Pingjin Area Army added quite a few tanks and armored vehicles, and the field heavy artillery regiment and mountain gun regiment followed Isogai Rensuke into battle.
Perhaps he, Marshal Liu, is the next Wang Jialie!
Li Delin found a piece of intelligence in the folder.
The consumed ammunition naturally needs to be replenished by the war zone.
Once a war starts, if the troop deployment is stated directly in the telegram, the Japanese Army usually uses code names to represent it.
At that time!
Himeji originated from the division management area of the 10th Division!
"Commander Li, Chief of Staff Bai."
At this time!
At the Fifth War Zone Command.
"At most ten hours, we can arrive at the battlefield."
In order to suppress the power of the Central Army, Marshal Liu allied with Li Delin and Bai Zhuge of the Guangxi Clique.
But!
Before the Chuan-Gui-Hong Agreement was signed, Lao Chang dealt the hardest blows to the Sichuan Army.
"According to the investigation by Military Statistics Bureau agents."
Isogai Rensuke's 10th Division has another code name, called "Iron".
This broke the method of recruiting soldiers by division management area!
The 33rd Brigade, Brigade Commander Segu Qi, 18th class of the Japanese Military Academy, from Tochigi Prefecture, governs the Akashiba Yaezo 10th Regiment and the Fukuei Shinpei 63rd Regiment.
In his Fifth War Zone, ammunition is sufficient; it will not be because of local armies or the Central Army.
You must know, previously, whether it was the battle in Jin Province or in the Seventh War Zone.
The establishment of this common designation was due to the need for military secrecy.
"You must have confidence in my Guangxi Clique Army."
Such a form of address is only applicable before the July 7th Incident.
Sun Zhen and Yang Sen, the two of them saw Bai Zhuge and Li Delin and also got straight to the point.
People from the Sichuan Army's Xuzhou Office rushed toward the Fifth War Zone Command.
The Sichuan Army's units expanded too quickly; for many units, although rifles were fully equipped.
Therefore, after Lin Zhizhong's telegram was sent back.
Let Bai Zhuge stay specifically to assist Li Delin in handling the various affairs of the Fifth War Zone.
The 10th Division can be said to be armed to the teeth!
Just in terms of artillery, it has already surpassed any army in the Fifth War Zone!
