Chapter 16 Huangpi Military Parade

The news that the 19th Independent Brigade of the 58th Division was about to compete with the four main groups in the arena was leaked. Not only did the 9th War Zone Command, but also the senior officials of the Military Commission called Feng Shengfa. In the end, even Chairman Jiang was alarmed and expressed that he would come to Shashi on the day of the competition and personally act as the referee.

Chairman Jiang's interference made things worse and the competition was forced to postpone.

When Yu Jishi heard Chairman Jiang was coming, he slapped his head and the internal competition of the 58th Division turned into a competition of the 74th Army.

A few days later, Gui Yongqing's army also joined in, and finally became a large military parade and exercise between the two armies.

At the same time, the military parade was changed from Shashi to Huangpi. The Central Daily News, Ta Kung Pao Hankou Edition, Shenhankou Edition and major news agencies began to promote military parades in succession. Huangpi is not far from Wuhan. It is completely imagined that by then, there will be many celebrities, young students and people going to Huangpi to watch.

On the surface, this seems to be the great honor of the 58th Division or the 74th Army, but it is not that simple.

To put it bluntly, because of the last time the Mingde Hotel fundraising incident, many people held a grudge against Feng Shengfa, and were waiting to see Feng Shengfa make a fool of themselves. Isn’t your 58th Division very awesome? You can even solve the funds by yourself. OK, okay, let’s see what the results of your 58th Division can get after receiving such a lot of funds.

If the 58th Division performed well in this military parade, that would be fine. Once the performance was not good, Feng Shengfa would probably be destroyed by the criticism of the public opinion newspapers. In order to realize the intention of praising Feng Shengfa, the senior officials of the Military Commission also found an extremely powerful training for the 74th Army-The Army

The Kuomintang army has many factions, so its numbers are very chaotic. Previously, the number of the No. 1 army appeared in the battle sequences of the Anhui Army, the Hubei Army, the Zhensong Army, and the Hunan Army. However, the 27th Army, which is about to compete with the 74th Army, has nothing to do with the previous four 27th Army. It was composed of one unit of the 37th Army, one unit of the 39th Army, and one unit of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps.

During the Nanjing Defense War, Gui Yongqing, the commander of the Central Military Academy's teaching corps, performed much better than Sun Yuan, the commander of the army and the commander of the RR division. He also left the troops and fled alone at a critical moment. However, he was lucky. There was a good chief of staff named Qiu Qingquan. Under Qiu Qingquan's command, the remnants of the Central Military Academy's teaching corps were able to break through successfully.

It is precisely because of this that Gui Yongqing was not dismissed, but was promoted to the position of the army commander.

The 27th Army is under the jurisdiction of the First Division and the 46th Division. Among them, the base of the 46th Division is the remnant of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps that broke through the river from Nanjing. The 46th Division is also the first batch of main troops to be reorganized after the Nanjing Defense War. It has good equipment, training, and its combat effectiveness is still quite strong, at least in the eyes of senior officials of the Military Commission.

Shashi, 58th Division Division Headquarters.

Chief of Staff Yang Shaoren walked into the war room with a telegram and said to Feng Shengfa with a wry smile: "Teacher seat, the military parade has been decided, and the time is only half a month later. After the military parade, there is an exercise. Gui Yongqing's army has been determined to participate. If time is too late, Huang Jie's 8th Army may also participate in this military parade."

Deputy division commander He Lingxiao curled his lips and sneered: "The Military Commission really respects our 74th Army. It actually uses two major imperial guards as a sparring training for us."

The commander of the 174th Brigade, Zhu Qi, and several commanders, also sneered.

The 46th Division under the army was based on the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps. It is not too much to say that it is the Imperial Guard. Huang Jie's 8th Army is not simple. Its predecessor was the Eighth State Bank Tax Police Corps. This is an elite unit built by Song Ziwen, former Minister of Finance of the National Government, for a huge amount of money. Its one-style American equipment is no less than the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps.

"Schooler?" Yang Shaoren smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know who is the schooler for whom."

Feng Shengfa smiled faintly and said, "It seems that I, Mr. Feng, are really unpleasant."

"Damn it, aren't we just getting a donation?" He Lingxiao said in a hurry, "But Miss Tang recognizes our 74th Army. If they can't fight themselves, who can they blame?

"Okay, I won't talk about this anymore." Feng Shengfa waved his hand and asked Yang Shaoren again, "Chief of Staff, has the military supplies ordered from Hankou been shipped?"

"Secretary, I was about to say this." Yang Shaoren spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "There is no problem with the clothes, military uniforms, guns and ammunition, but the 75mm caliber Krupp mountain cannon we ordered from the British may be detained by the Ministry of Military Affairs halfway, saying that we should take it out as a prize."

"Price?" Feng Shengfa frowned, "What prize?"

Although this 75mm caliber Krupp mountain cannon was an old mountain cannon eliminated by the British army, it was well maintained. Feng Shengfa personally went to Hankou to inspect the goods, and at least 60% of them were new. Can the artillery battalion of the 58th Division be rebuilt? It is all pointing to this mountain cannon, but it has been detained by the Ministry of Military Affairs halfway. What's the fucking thing?

Yang Shaoren smiled bitterly and said, "What else can it be? The prize for the winner of the exercise."

"Why?" Deputy Division Commander He Lingxiao was furious and said angrily, "This is the mountain cannon that our 58th Division bought from the British with its own funds. Why should the Ministry of Military Affairs use a squad to use as a prize? Isn't this a bullshit?"

Yang Shaoren said helplessly: "I have any way to kill someone with a senior official?"

"Bad, the Ministry of Military Affairs is not good enough to do this. Isn't this bullying by virtue of power?"

"That's right, let's go to the military seat. If the military seat cannot be controlled, let's go to the commission."

"Damn it, what is He Yingqin thinking about, openly robbing or what?"

Zhu Qi and several regiment commanders suddenly started to make noise, and the 58th Division would never suffer the loss.

"What are you quarreling? What are you quarreling? Do you want to rebel or what?" When several brigade commanders and the regiment commander were clamoring, Yu Jishi walked in from outside the combat room with a cold face. Feng Shengfa and others quickly stood attentively and saluted.

Yu Jishi replied with a gift and sat on the long bench in the war room again.

"I have heard of that Krupp Mountain Cannon." Yu Jishi glanced at Feng Shengfa and said, "Don't be angry either. Minister He is right to do this. At present, the National Government has shortage of military expenditure. All legions, army and divisions lack artillery. It is said that good steel is used on the edge of the knife. It is understandable that the Ministry of Military Affairs does this."

"But..." He Lingxiao opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but Feng Shengfa stopped it.

Feng Shengfa stopped He Lingxiao and said to Yu Jishi in a confident tone: "Don't worry, this Krupp mountain cannon should be from our 58th Division, but it is still from our 58th Division, and no one can take it away."

"This is the Feng Shengfa I know, this is the fist force of our 74th Army."

Yu Jishi nodded happily, and his heart became much brighter. For the military parade, the Krupp mountain cannon of the 58th Division, Yu Jishi had just had a big fight with He Yingqin, and even came to Chairman Jiang. However, in the end, Yu Jishi was scolded by Chiang and scolded him for only caring about his own acre of land and having no view of the overall situation.

This time, Yu Jishi also wanted to see the training results of the 58th Division and 5 Pei. He hoped that Feng Shengfa and Wang Yaowu could earn his face for him and slash He Yingqin's face hard. You didn't try every means to rack your brain to wear the 74th Army's shoes? Okay, let's tell you with facts, what is the elite

Yu Jishi was intrigued and stood up again and said, "Let's go and see the troops train."

"Please ask for a military throne." Feng Shengfa Su made a request, of course he would not refuse to agree, nor would he hide it. He didn't know how well he practiced, but 5 Pei's training was absolutely excellent.

Changsha, the Army Headquarters.

Gui Yongqing likes playing mahjong very much. He set up the dragon gate formation with Deputy Commander Li Shusen, Commander of the 46th Division, and Zhou Zhenqiang, Deputy Commander of the 46th Division who had just come from Hengyang.

After the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps evacuated Nanjing, they went to Hengyang to make up for repairs, and soon combined with the remnants of the 46th Division.

Although there were not many remnants of the 46th Division, the team of senior officers was kept intact, and most of them were graduates of Baoding Military Academy or Mainland University. The senior officers of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps suffered heavy casualties. Chiang Kai-shek transferred a large number of outstanding officers including Qiu Qingquan and Liao Yaoxiang to the New 5th Army, which further caused an imbalance among senior officers.

After the combined organization, only the brigade commander of the 138th Brigade of the 46th Division was Ma Weilong, who was from the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps. After Gui Yongqing was promoted to the commander of the army, the successor commander Li Liangrong was also the former deputy commander of the 46th Division. Gui Yongqing seconded him to the military headquarters and asked the deputy commander Zhou Zhenqiang to preside over the military training丨In fact, it was to undermine Li Liangrong.

There is a saying that goes, if you have something to do, you will be more important than the subordinates. As the supreme commander of the National Army, Chairman Jiang is best at forming gangs and gangs. When Zhang Xiaoliu changed his flag, the first thing he did when he went to Fengtian was to take photos with several young commanders of the Northeast Army at the airport to win over.

This is the tradition of the national army, no matter which unit is full of factions.

The same is true for the 27th Army. Commander Gui Yongqing was trying every means to undermine the commander of the 46th Division, Li Liangrong. The depressed deputy commander Li Shusen was also secretly trying to win over Li Liangrong. The commander of the division, Li Ying, was also in his own way. A small army actually had three hills. How much cohesion can it have and how much combat effectiveness can it have?

"Yaoji." Gui Yongqing asked Zhou Zhenqiang while playing cards, "Have the troops set off?"

Half a month later, the army was going to Huangpi to participate in the exercise. After the exercise, it would go directly to the Xuzhou battlefield to fight against the Japanese army. At this time, it was indeed necessary to start. However, Gui Yongqing really didn't care much about the upcoming Huangpi exercise. Not to mention the 24th Division, the 46th Division is the old foundation of the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps, and is definitely not comparable to the miscellaneous brands like the 74th Army.

"Touch." Zhou Zhenqiang touched the young chicken that Gui Yongqing threw out and replied, "Don't worry, the division seat, the troops have already set off."

"Okay, when you arrive in Huangpi, you can perform well. Once you get the Krupp Mountain Cannon, your division can rebuild the artillery camp." Gui Yongqing nodded happily, completely ignoring Li Liangrong present, as if Zhou Zhenqiang was the commander of the 46th Division. However, Zhou Zhenqiang felt a little uneasy, but Li Liangrong had no displeasure on his face.
