The Thirteenth Division? Yang Linyi suddenly had a big question mark in his heart.

Thirteenth is regarded as an unlucky number in many distant countries, but this Thirteenth Division always occupies a special place in the hearts of all Republican soldiers.

Although the 13th Division has a long history, it cannot be compared with the 1st to 6th Divisions, which are known as the "Six Towns of the People's Republic of China". It hastily formed an army three years before the founding of the Republic. At this point, it is even better than the 7th to 12th Towns, which are called the "Six Towns of the People's Republic of China".

Although the 13th Division has outstanding achievements, it is far from being comparable to the troops like the Third, Fifth and Ninth Divisions, and it is even worse than the First Cavalry Brigade, known as the "Suiyuan Iron Cavalry".

The 13th Division was not large institution. The six infantry battalions in Zhili of the entire division included one battalion of cavalry, artillery, and the 7,000 personnel were only half of the ordinary division.

The 13th Division's military salary was not high, and it could only be considered a general level in the army. The 13th Division was not united. Due to historical reasons, each of its battalions had countless glorious history, resulting in countless factions being produced within...

No matter this, in the hearts of countless Republican soldiers, this division has a special position. In the hearts of countless girls, the officers of the Thirteenth Division, who are elegant in conversation and handsome and extraordinary, are one of the best choices for choosing a spouse.

Three years before the Republic, the founding father Lin Siyuan died in Handan, southern Hebei. The Republican Army, called the "Luan Rebellion Army" at that time, lost this soul figure, and the entire army was in chaos. More than 100,000 Jin troops took the opportunity to cross the Fuyang River south.

At this time when the entire army was alive, the leaders of the six towns unanimously supported the wife of the founding father to temporarily command the entire army, and the commanding group composed of the six towns commanded the entire army. At the same time, the Six Associations who were incorporated since the uprising were changed to the seven to twelve towns. This is the famous "republic creation" in history.

Since Mrs. Lin did not have a direct army, the commanders of the six towns specially transferred out an elite infantry team from each town, totaling 12 infantry teams of the fourth infantry battalion and 13 towns, led by Lin Ziyin, the father-in-law of the country. After the founding of the Republic, the town was transformed into the 13th Division.

At the beginning of the Republic's founding, the division fought for the first place and retreated for the rear. It was famous for its spirit of sacrifice. Especially in the Battle of Haihe, Lin Ziyin shouted "Thirteen Towns, cover the entire army!" The entire division repeatedly rushed over more than ten times on the north bank of Haihe River, so that the people of the four towns could safely retreat to the south of Haihe River. However, the entire division suffered heavy casualties, and corpses north of Haihe River were everywhere and piled up into mountains, claiming to be the most tragic battles in the founding country.

Since the founding of the Republic, this division has always been an attitude of not interfering in politics and has a reputation of never participating in civil war. It has been used as a garrison in the capital for many years. The officers and soldiers were selected by the governors of each province to send the best officers and soldiers from the entire army to the capital. The officers from the 13th Division are known for their ability to fight and are also the most popular among the troops.

But the Thirteenth Division is the most picky. Often, only less than half of the officers and soldiers sent by the battalion were selected, so the Thirteenth Division would never be full. These prides of heaven who were above the top had to use all their strength at this moment, but they might not succeed.

In the 32nd year of the Republic of China, Duan Rujie, the governor of Guangdong who ruled the southwestern provinces, personally selected a battalion and sent it to Kyoto. However, the 13th Division only picked less than one company, and the rest were all retreated back to Guangdong. This company of less than a hundred people was really hidden and hidden. Later, three generals and seven division commanders were produced. As for the commanders, there were countless chief officials.

The commander of the 13th Division was stationed in Beijing, but whenever the country survived and died, he would go out to help the war. He would cooperate with friendly forces without interruption. He would celebrate the victory and help him with all his strength. He was known as the "National Defense Army" and had a great reputation among the people. Especially during the 18th year of the Republic, the battle of Zhifeng was stopped, and our country's vitality was severely damaged. At that time, the army of Silla failed and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were trapped on the Yalu River. The division drove for nearly a thousand miles for eight days and nights, and seized Mount Chu in front of the enemy. The entire division called Lin Ziyin's bold statement back then, "Thirteen Towns! Cover the entire army!"

Faced with several times the enemy, the Thirteenth Division fought bloody battles for more than ten days without giving in. At that time, the battle situation was a change of color. Facing the enemy of tigers and wolves, a small high ground changed hands more than ten times, and the bodies of both sides accumulated several meters repeatedly. After this battle, the six enemy divisions could no longer fight, and after the war, there were less than a thousand troops gathered together, but finally hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians successfully crossed the river. The name of "Guardian National Command" left without any hesitation, which was shocked by the sound of the sound of the people in the country.

In the following decades, the rebels in Annan Thousand Mile Rain Forest and Annan fought bloody battles, fought hard in Mobei, wiped out the Hui rebellion in Ganzhou, and defeated the Tieler divisions in Xinzhou... If you don't fight, you will have to play a role as a backbone, and if you fight, you will definitely play a role as a pillar.

A huge doubt arose in Yang Linyi's mind. What was the reason why the 13th Division, which never interfered in politics, defended Liu Jingxiao.

This time, the five families joined forces to fight against Liu, and Yang Linji made great efforts behind him. Yang Linyi and Tulu had only one day. Henan was a place of battle, and Yang's Shaanxi Army was also a guest army. He could only sit and wait for death to defend Henan.

So on the one hand, I vigorously win over the heroes of the Central Plains, and on the other hand, I strive to develop outward. However, there are Jin troops in the west, Zhi troops in the north, Hubei in the south, Shandong in the east, Liu Jingxiao in the east, and Shandong in the south, are not fuel-efficient. If you are not careful, the foundation you have built up with hard work will be overwhelmed.

However, the rapid change in Jiaodong's political situation was beyond his expectations. Liu Jingxiao hinted in the restaurant that he had mobilized his troops and warned him not to act rashly. The Shandong troops must have been on high alert. As for the changes in the political situation in Beijing, it may be even more unexpected to him.

Thinking of this, Yang Linyi suddenly asked his subordinates: "How is my political achievements compared to Liu Jingxiao?"

Someone below responded first: "Since the generals governed Henan, they have suppressed bandits, investigated corrupt officials, provided disaster relief, promoted water conservancy, rectified people's customs, and made clear political achievements. How could Liu Jingxiao's lustful madman be compared?"

After hearing this, Yang Linyi couldn't help but feel a little joyful. After a while, he returned to normal and said, "No, since Liu Jingxiao's rule of Lu, he has not made any great contributions, nor has he made any great mistakes. There are many children in his army, and he cannot be regarded as a guest army. If the swords and weapons are together, people's hearts will be in the face of the people, which is extremely difficult to predict!"

After a little slowing down, he said again: "How is our combat power compared to that of the Liu army?"

"The Liu army has been disbanding its troops for a long time, with less than 40,000 troops. That year, a bandit shocked the whole province, and they had to divide their troops to guard against Li Dingyuan, Cao Ming, and the Luyu border guards only have two regiments. Our army is good at fighting, and 80,000 troops are ready to fight at any time. I guess it is unstoppable and destroy this food!" Xiao Lu answered first.

Yue Zhonglin sneered and said, "What a destruction of this dynasty... Xiao Lu wanted to learn from Qi Qinggong. He was so proud, but our army's combat power was also worrying. Our Shaanxi army can conquer and fight, but the equipment was too poor. Only two infantry soldiers had a rifle. The Henan army was really unbearable to fight. Most of them formed a militia. There were only five or six hundred people in a regiment... The number of victory or defeat, Brother Yang, Zhong Lin, to be honest... It's still the number of last known..."

Yang Linyi continued to ask: "When the war begins, in terms of military expenditure, is the same as our army compared to Shandong?"
