Chapter 427: Full Support
Zhong Yi entered the role very quickly, and this was also forced.
Because it is already the end of March 2018.
Although in the original time and space, the Japanese army would not reach the outside of Wuhan City until early October, in this time and space, since the Huayuankou did not break the dike, the Japanese army could go west along the Longhai Line and then go south from the Zhengzhou Shunpinghan Railway, so it would be possible to advance to the bottom of Wuhan City without waiting until October.
Zhong Yi's estimated that the Japanese army will be able to attack Wuhan in June, at the end of June or early July.
In other words, the preparation time left for Zhong Yi is less than three months left.
In less than three months, it seemed a lot, but it was really too urgent for the Wuhan defense battle, which was still in disorder!
Zhong Yi did not stay in the office building and chatted with Feng Yuxiang, and soon came to the Ministry of Military Affairs.
The person who received Zhong Yi was Cao Haosen, Deputy Minister of the Military and Political Affairs Department, and the No. 2 figure in the Military and Political Affairs Department!
"Brother Ziren, you haven't had time to congratulate you on Gao Sheng." Cao Haosen laughed and said, "Otherwise, I'll set up a few tables to celebrate tonight?"
Although this is the practice of the Party and the country, how can Zhong Yi have time to hold a drink to celebrate his promotion?
At that moment, Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, please celebrate first. Deputy Chief Cao, let's talk about the important matter first."
"Brother Ziren is really worthy of being a pillar of the party and the country. He entered the work state so quickly." Cao Haosen smiled and continued, "Okay, let's talk about the serious matter first, but I don't know, why did I come to me for?"
Zhong Yi said: "Captain Cao, are there too few troops assigned to our garrison headquarters?"
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "There were fifteen divisions in the Nanjing Defense War, including a 30,000-man A division like the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps! The importance of the Wuhan Defense War is not at all under the Nanjing Defense War, but the Ministry of Military Affairs gave me only eight brigades. Is this a joke?"
"Brother, that's not the case, eight brigades are a lot." Cao Haosen said, "What's more, these eight brigades are not ordinary infantry brigades. I won't say it anymore. That's the super elite that you brought with you by Brother Zi Ren. One brigade can at least stand three brigades of other troops, and the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps cannot compare with!"
Zhong Yi said: "The problem is that the 367th Brigade is still just a regiment!"
Waving his hand, Cao Haosen said again: "Liu Yuanlin's guard brigade and Shi Zude's spy brigade are also elite troops. They are not only well-equipped, but also well-trained. Although they cannot compare with the 367th Brigade, they are more than just better than other infantry brigades? Even Chen Jing'an and his five guard brigades have also added a large number of veterans, and their combat effectiveness is very strong!"
"Captain Cao, it's boring to say that." Zhong Yi said, "The Guard Brigade and the Special Forces Brigade are the same as the 367th Brigade. They are still just a regiment. As for the five security brigades of Chen Jing'an and others, only one of the backbone infantry battalions assigned by Commander Guo from the 94th Army. This can be considered as adding a large number of veterans?"
"Brother Ziren, you can't say that. There are many veterans in a battalion." Cao Haosen said, "You don't know that there are many troops, and the entire division and brigade are all new recruits! There is no veteran in a platoon, so why don't you go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese? You didn't see the division commanders and brigade commanders coming to the Ministry of Military Affairs to complain, right?"
"Okay, let's not talk about the veterans for now." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "The key is that these eight brigades are not fully organized. They are nominally eight brigades, but in fact there are only three regiments and five battalions. What about the supplementary soldiers that the Ministry of Military Affairs promised?"
The military supplementary matter is under the jurisdiction of the Military Service Department under the Ministry of Military Affairs, which happens to be under the jurisdiction of Cao Haosen.
"Brother Ziren, you really wronged me." Cao Haosen smiled bitterly, "It's not that the Military Service Department does not give soldiers. There are really no soldiers at all now. In this way, when the next batch of recruits from Sichuan arrive, what will I do to you?"
"The next batch of soldiers?" Zhong Yi asked, "When will the next batch of recruits arrive?"
Cao Haosen thought for a while and said, "It will be a month later at the earliest."
"One month?" Zhong Yi said, "It definitely won't work, it's too delayed!"
"Then I really can't do anything about it." Cao Haosen spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, I will tell Minister He that he will directly transfer the Sixth Army, Sixteenth Army, Thirty-Seventh Army, Seventh Army, Seventh Army, and Ninety-Fourth Army into the Wuhan Garrison Command? Anyway, you still have Lao Feng on your head, so you are not afraid of not being able to command them."
"This is not OK. This is not a problem of being able to command and not being able to command." Zhong Yi shook his head flatly, "but it's too much of the command agencies in the middle, which is too delayed! The orders of the Wuhan Garrison Command must be directly down to the brigade, the intermediate division, and the army's two-level command agencies must be completely revoked. Otherwise, Minister Cao, you can break these five troops into brigades and allocate them to our garrison?"
"Brother Ziren, aren't you kidding?" Cao Haosen said, "Disassemble these five soldiers into brigades and allocate them to you Wuhan Garrison District. How to arrange the commander of the army? Let them come to work in the Ministry of Military Affairs?"
"Yes." Zhong Yi said, "I think this arrangement is very good, otherwise it will be decided."
"You're determined." Cao Haosen said angrily, "I said, brother, you've still cut off this idea."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly came in from outside the door: "I think this idea is good!"
The two looked back, but Lin Wei, the director of the attendant's room, walked in slowly.
Zhong Yi quickly stood up and Cao Haosen also stood up to greet him.
Lin Wei waved his hand and said to Cao Haosen: "Second Chief Cao, the principal asked me to tell you that the Battle of Wuhan is an overwhelming political event. In order to ensure the victory of the Battle of Wuhan, all departments, including the military, police, political, business and academic circles, must cooperate fully, so the source of troops of the Wuhan Garrison Command must be resolved as soon as possible!"
Cao Haosen said: "The problem is that it really cannot be solved."
"How could it not be solved?" Lin Wei said, "What Zi Rengang said is very good!"
Cao Haosen said in surprise: "Is it really demolished the Sixth Army and five other troops to add them to the Wuhan Garrison District?"
"Disassembled!" Lin Wei nodded and said affirmatively, "The officers and soldiers below the brigade were supplemented on the spot. The ranks and ranks of generals above the brigade remained unchanged, and their numbers were not revoked. Go to the rear and then replenished!"
Cao Haosen said sternly: "Is this what Director Lin, you mean, or..."
Lin Wei said: "Customer Cao, this is what I mean, and the principal's meaning is also what the principal said!"
"Okay!" Cao Haosen stopped asking and nodded, "I'll issue a public letter now!"
