Chapter 147: Adaptation of the troops

In early January of the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), more than 200,000 Japanese Central China Front Army set out in two groups from Shanghai and Suzhou, taking Nanjing along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, crossing the Yangtze River from Jiangyin Fortress to the east, attacking the Su-Zhong area along the Jingjiang and Yangzhou.

The combat plan formulated by Yanagawa Heisuke and others was that after the capture of Nanjing, the main force of the front army could cross the Yangtze River north and attack north along the Jinpu Railway to northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui, with the intention of joining the North China Front Army in Xuzhou, opening up the battlefields of the north and south, and connecting them into one.

On the battlefield in Shandong, thanks to the wise command of General Li Zongren, the commander of the Fifth War Zone, and the bloody battle of the soldiers, the Japanese offensive was finally curbed.

Moreover, as the main forces of the 100,000 elite troops withdrawn from the Nanjing battlefield went to the Xuzhou area, the combat effectiveness of the Fifth War Zone was simply enhanced. General Li Zongren even ambitiously planned to fight one or two encirclement and annihilation battles in northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong, and to eat up the 5th and 10th main divisions of the Japanese army that had attacked Shandong in one fell swoop.

Later, he mobilized heavy troops to turn around to fight against the Japanese Central China Front Army heading north along the Gimpo Railway.

As the result of the Nanjing Defense War was changed, the more than 100,000 elite troops guarding Nanjing were preserved, and the current anti-Japanese situation was slightly better than the original historical situation.

At least after rest and recuperation, the combat effectiveness of these more than 100,000 elite troops was absolutely not to be underestimated. With the addition of these more than 100,000 elite troops, Li Zongren's strength in the fifth war zone increased greatly, and his troops reached an astonishing more than 700,000. Although the area defended was very wide, General Li Zongren had begun to actively shrink his troops and carry out key defenses.

And they were secretly gathering elite troops to prepare to attack the two major Japanese offensive groups that drove straight into the country.

Just as the battle of Xuzhou slowly began, Qiao Anbang, who was in northern Anhui, was not idle either. Except for New Year's Eve, he celebrated the Spring Festival with all the officers and soldiers of the brigade, and after paying New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year to his father Qiao Siyuan on the first day of the New Year, Qiao Anbang began to get busy again.

Since the New Year, intellectuals have rushed from all over the country to Zhiheji to sign up for the army. Qiao Anbang naturally took these people one by one and temporarily arranged them in the Longshan military camp.

However, what surprised Qiao Anbang was that most of these intellectual youths came from North China, and a considerable number of people even came from the occupied areas to work hard, while there were very few people coming from the National-controlled areas such as Central China and South China.

While confused, Qiao Anbang thought of the telegram sent to him not long ago. The content of the telegram was very simple, which was to order him to lead the Hu Ben Brigade to immediately go to the front line in Shandong to fight against Japan.

Logically speaking, he led his troops to retreat to northern Anhui for rest and rest. This was also the personal telegram by Chairman Jiang. Now that the battle of Xuzhou has just begun, he has to transfer the Tiger Brigade to the front line again. And it was just that after Qiao Anbang issued a declaration of recruitment, Qiao Anbang could figure out what Chairman Jiang was meant by a fool.

Since I have made great achievements in military affairs, Chairman Chiang of the State and Nationalities and the National Government cannot do anything to him on the surface, so I simply push myself to the front line and use the Japanese to get rid of myself. This should be the so-called killing by borrowing a knife.

After understanding the purpose, Qiao Anbang naturally sneered at the telegram and did not buy it at all.

Thinking of this, it is not surprising that there are no intellectual youths in southern China and central China to enlist in the army. Fortunately, since the war situation in Shandong is in fierce development, General Li Zongren and the National Army of the Fifth War Zone are mainly focused on fighting the Japanese invaders, and the order issued by Chairman Chiang to intercept intellectual youths from all over the country was not so thoroughly implemented.

In this way, the patriotic patriots who came from North China and even the Central Plains were able to successfully reach the pheasant and the Jinji through the Kuomintang-controlled area.

As time goes by, more and more educated youth gathered at chees and Ji. By the middle of the first lunar month, the total number of passionate patriotic intellectual youths who came from all over the country had reached more than 20,000. In addition, there are thousands of workers and technicians with experience in factories, as well as some teachers and doctors from all walks of life, including thousands of workers and technicians who have experience in factories, as well as some talents from all walks of life, including teachers and doctors.

Qiao Anbang, who was extremely happy, immediately organized all the 20,000 intellectuals into the army, and all five thousand veterans disrupted the organization and mixed them with the new recruits for training.

Thousands of workers, technicians and other talents were also arranged by Qiao Anbang to the arsenal, health team and other departments. Dozens of teachers were selected from them to join the school built by Qiao Anbang last year for local orphans and children from poor families, and was responsible for teaching the orphans to study and study.

As a time traveler, Qiao Anbang knew that it was a terrible thing to be uneducated. The orphan school he built now will play an important role in the future. In the future, the empire will be in a mess and will definitely need a large number of culturally and knowledgeable talents. These students are naturally the best candidates, and only with them can the country be built better.

Of course, the school in Chiheji is just the beginning. In the future, Qiao Anbang will establish such schools all over the country to study and study for free, so that all Chinese people can have books, doctors, food, and houses to live in. This is Qiao Anbang's most basic requirement for himself.

With the increase of new recruits, Qiao Anbang deeply felt the serious shortage of middle and grassroots officers at his hands. After thinking hard, Qiao Anbang came up with the imitation of the founding father Sun Yat-sen to build a military academy to train middle and grassroots officers specifically for himself. Although the current situation does not allow large-scale schools to be run. (A variety of instructors are missing)

However, you can first establish a military academy and select some injured and disabled retired veterans to start several crash courses for officers, so that you can continuously provide middle and grassroots officers with middle and grassroots officers.

Even active recruits who have potential can take turns to participate in the officer crash course to increase their combat knowledge and skills.

After making up his mind, Qiao Anbang immediately began to prepare for the construction of the military academy. The various materials needed for such as steel and cement were extracted from the aircraft. As for the various machinery needed for building a house, such as excavators and cranes, they were all ready-made.

After the military academy was completed, Qiao Anbang planned to be the principal himself. After all, Chairman Jiang's foresight is the example, so Qiao Anbang certainly knew.
