Chapter 216: Mice spend the winter
Because of the Japanese's evil militaristic national resistance strategy, Taiwan was seriously harmed by this treasure island, and the industry, mining and economy of the island were in a state of regression. The man had all pushed the Japanese to the front line to consume shells, and this was impossible to reverse.
However, there is one advantage, that is, the two Japanese devils, big and small, who were brainwashed by militarism, were pushed to the battlefield as cannon fodder, and this public security is quite good. Now, eight out of ten adults in less than four million residents on the island are adult women. This is strange if the public security is not good.
The Nanjing Central Committee was almost beaten to the Japanese, and wanted to transfer three direct central troops back for their own use. As a result, the people on the island wrote petitions to Nanjing - leave some seeds for Taiwan. Taiwan is too short of manly now.
Before the Japanese launched the anti-landing war, they assembled nearly 100,000 Japanese soldiers. During the anti-landing war, each unit pushed nearly one million male men from all ethnic groups to the battlefield as cannon fodder, consuming the artillery shells of the Central Army. The population of all ethnic groups on the island was originally only five million, but it would be great if it was less than one million young men. Especially in major cities and counties, the men you can see were either children who had not been weaned or old patients who had half a foot in the coffin.
The principal also rarely considered the opinions of the people and mixed the soldiers of the three direct Central Army and two side Central Army soldiers. Among them, the bachelors who were willing to stay in Taiwan to get married and establish a career were all incorporated into the newly formed three teams of the reorganized 13th Army, the 31st Army and the 84th Army. The principals of the reorganized 4th Army and the 18th Army would be transferred back to the mainland anyway.
Not only soldiers, but also officers from all units. Those who are willing to stay in Taiwan for peace will be one of the 200,000 garrison troops. If you still want to be promoted to the 4th Army and the 18th Army, you may not be sure when you will recover Ryukyu and the Northeast, you will have to use these teams.
Speaking of which, after Jin Batian fought the Japanese in October, he returned to Peiping with the 29th Army at the end of the month. This time there was really good news. It was from the 29th Army. The original training 29th Army shone brightly in this battle of Guisui, and its combat effectiveness was not even inferior to the reorganized division. After thinking about it, Nanjing Beiping decided to raise the 29th Army a higher level, from the training 29th Army to the reorganized 29th Army - that is to say, the 29th Army is now a direct unit of the Central Army.
The 29th Army made great contributions this time, and the commander of the army, Song Zheyuan, was also promoted. After being commended by Nanjing, he became a member of the Military Commission and deputy commander-in-chief of the First Military Region - theoretically, he was on par with Song Ziwen. In fact, it was enough for everyone to understand it in their hearts.
In order to prevent the 29th Army from rebounding, the new commander of the reorganization of the 29th Army this time was Zhang Zhizhong, which is an acceptable candidate for the 29th Army.
Originally, the 29th Army and the supplementary regiments of each unit had more than 60,000 people, but now it is not enough to reorganize the 29th Army. This time, the promotion that should be promoted after winning the battle was vacant. After the position of platoon leader of the company was vacant, the graduates of this year's China University of China entered one after another. The Nanjing Central Committee allocated 50,000 strong men from the 29th Army from various provinces. After the training of these new recruits of the 29th Army was over, one of the old men and the new troops was dispersed and entered the various units. After the old men were brought to the new ones, a reorganized 29th Army with more than 100,000 people rose.
The 29th Army is not the only lucky one. This reorganization of combat-capable troops is a step in the plan of the Nanjing government to train the total number of three million Central Army at the beginning of next year.
He Zhizhong Bai Huizhang, the 25th Army of the Guizhou Army, did not know what benefits he had when he arrived in Peiping, and he successively promoted his loyalty to the Nanjing Central Committee. Nanjing brought a division from the former Han Fuqu Division in Shandong and stuffed it into the 25th Army to go to Peking for dressing up and training, and raised the level of the 25th Army, which was originally designated as the division level, and now the 25th Army is also training the 25th Army.
There were more than one 25th Army who wanted to be the Central Army, and the Sichuan Army also split. Under the appeal of the Nanjing Ministry of Military Affairs and the Peking Army Branch, the 41st Army decided to respond to the call of former Prime Minister Mr. Sun and not to be a warlord. The 41st Army of the 22nd Army, led by Commander Wang Mingzhang and Deputy Commander Fan Shaozeng, was all involved in the arms of the Central Army.
The 41st Army's surrender to the Central Committee was a heavy blow to Deng Xihou, the commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army, and Liu Xiang, the King of Sichuan. Now the training of the 41st Army is the essence of the entire Sichuan. This army was all at a disadvantage in the combat effectiveness, morale and public opinion of the Central Committee. But now this mute person is determined to lose. No matter how brave Liu Xiang is, he would not dare to provoke civil war at this time. In fact, Liu Xiang knew that the one who provoked civil war at this time was definitely his Sichuan Army who was finally eliminated.
There is also the Forty Army. In the past, Pang Bingxun's 40th Army had only one 39th Division and eight thousand people. But didn't Pang Bingxun surrender to the central government and hand over military power? That's easy to say. The Forty Army quickly put on airs in Shaanxi - it was not easy for Zhang Zhizhong to be in charge of Shaanxi to draw tens of thousands of additional troops from various troops. The officers were even better. Zhang Zhizhong saw that Zhang Lingfu, the deputy brigade commander of the 71st Army, fought well, and directly transferred to the 40th Division to be the commander.
So the 40th Army of Training was born, with the 39th Division, the 40th Division and the 41st Division, and the 41st Division of Training. The troops affiliated to each department were well-equipped, and they were all trainers of 14,500 people.
Zhang Lingfu, who has been promoted to the Sanji Division, has some opinions. I will be the deputy brigade commander of the reorganized 36th Division, and I will live a better life than this division commander. You should know that the 71st Army and the First Army are the first teams to complete armorization. At that time, the entire army will only use tanks, tracked armored vehicles and large trucks to transport troops and arms - how can two legs catch up with ten wheels (the wheels of tank armored vehicles and trucks are ten or more).
There are ten reorganized divisions to complete the first batch of armored units by the end of this year and the beginning of next year, namely the First Army, the 71st Army and the 17th Army, plus the Teaching Corps. Minister Song also wanted to send his tax police regiment, the reorganized 100th Division, into the armored team, but this time the armored weapons were exchanged for the advance tax of the State Government from the Nanyang Military Industry.
It is easy for the Tax Police Corps to play armored, so Minister Song has to pay for it himself. Honestly, the tanks and armored vehicles of the Nanyang military industry are both priced at a bargain, a Type 22 tank and a crawler armoured vehicle of 10,000 yuan. However, the Tax Police Corps' organization is the largest in the world at the level of the reorganization division, and the combat soldiers of each supplementary regiment are large enough.
There are a few tanks outside, plus the driver's gunshots and mobile phone gunners at most. The crawlers and armored vehicles can transport twenty people, and the tax police regiment has more than 40,000 combat soldiers, which requires 500 tanks and 1,500 crawler armored vehicles. At the same time, thousands of trucks are required to transport supplementary troops and supplies.
Minister Song said that the Tax Police Corps has thousands of trucks, and the problem now is the problem of 500 tanks and 1,500 armored vehicles. If you buy them all, it will be 25 million oceans. It’s not enough to buy them. Drivers, gunmen, and gunmen have to be trained. Training and burning oil is money. If you don’t have 30 to 40 million, you can’t get it.
The money used by Song Ziwen to establish the General Tax Police Corps is the salt balance income of the government's salt tax. Every year, after collecting the salt tax, the country does not directly enter the Ministry of Finance, but uses it to repay the debts - the government bonds issued by the government government, for example, the government bonds in this Anti-Japanese War were mortgaged with salt tax (occasionally tariffs). After repaying the government bonds, the remaining income is called salt balance, and the salt balance of one or two hundred million yuan per year is easy.
In fact, it is a way to eat the food of the Yin and the Mao people to demolish the east and the west walls. If you don’t do this, the principal still needs to learn from the warlords to grow opium. The good news is that the salt tax or tariffs have been growing over the years.
Take the salt tax as an example. Although this year it was a fight against Japanese devils and Russians, it was not a fight in the central government's territory. Judging from the first three quarters, the central government's salt tax revenue in the whole year is expected to exceed 200 million yuan in 300 million yuan (24th year of the Republic of China). This will account for more than one-fifth of the fiscal revenue of Nanjing's central government this year. (The gray arms income of the advance tax is not calculated)
The annual salt surplus of 10 to 20 million yuan seems to be quite large, but it cannot withstand the current tax police corps is now large. The annual salary, food and clothing costs, and training costs are about 10 million yuan, which is not counting the burning and burial expenses and pensions after the soldiers died in the war. So although the salt tax revenue has increased significantly this year (if it is not necessary, no one will eat more salt, but the Central Army has added new territory such as Shandong, Shaanxi and Guizhou, and the salt tax revenue naturally increased greatly), Minister Song's wallet has been deflated than in previous years.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Tax Police Corps, Song Ziwen said that he would not use the country's penny to a gun, but only use the annual salt income to build a national army with one level of combat effectiveness. Seeing that the Tax Police Corps played the Tax Police Corps, they were just two divisions, so he allowed Song Ziwen to play freely. Now Minister Song's problem is that he couldn't bear to beg him as the brother-in-law of the president in Nanjing.
There is a good news in Nanjing now that the government expects that there will be no shortage of arms in the next two years (there are no plans to negotiate until November 1935). So far, even the 10 billion yuan prepaid arms for the field tax in 1935 have not been used up. This is also the cost of Nanjing's daring to build ten armored divisions at one time. The cost of building an armored division (plus training) is 30 million yuan, and the ten armored divisions are only 300 million yuan in arms. According to the current perspective, after all the equipment of these ten armored divisions is in place, they will only have one-tenth of arms next year.
If it weren't for the situation where you might encounter one-and-two on the battlefield next year, the arms would definitely be greatly consumed, and Nanjing would have thought about building more armored troops.
On November 1st, Jin Batian, who came to work in the Ministry of Military Affairs of Peking, approved a note to lead the arms in his office, which was a batch of arms reserves of the Nanjing government - mainly some light weapons and ammunition, as well as some artillery and shells.
After sending Bai Meimei, who had approved the documents and transferred the female secretary, back, Jin Batian seemed to have nothing to do on the day. He half-lying on the chair and said to himself: "Like a mouse in the winter."
