It is not a trivial matter to move the entire army to defense, let alone a large-scale unit like the Fifth Army.
The New 22nd Division received the order, and the entire division first moved to Dong'an, Hunan.
After arriving at Dong'an, the entire division was on standby.
The station in Xiangtan was Other local garrisons took over.
Zhang Wei's teaching brigade was the first unit of the New 22nd Division to receive the order to move to defense.
The division ordered the teaching brigade to move as soon as possible, move closer to the division headquarters, form a marching column with the division headquarters, and the troops directly under the division, and move towards Dong'an.
It is necessary to rendezvous with the division headquarters and division headquarters before the division headquarters departs, and serve as a division guard unit to screen the division headquarters.
After receiving the order, Zhang Wei ordered the entire brigade to pack their luggage and prepare to depart.
All the remaining equipment in the brigade warehouse was handed over to the baggage platoon to carry.
Some of the excess ammunition was carried by the baggage platoon, and the rest was distributed to the soldiers, who were They carry it themselves.
"Every squadron is setting out quickly, bring all the quilts and equipment, and don't throw anything away."
In the chaotic teaching brigade camp, soldiers were coming and going, carrying weapons, ammunition boxes and uniforms.
Zhang Wei said to the squadron leaders around him, Everyone was busy.
The squadron leaders received the order and went down to organize the troops to set off.
The teaching brigade is considered a relatively wealthy unit.
The inventory of firearms in the warehouse also includes forty Zhongzheng rifles and nine Czech light machine guns.
The firearms used by military cadets during training in the teaching brigade are specially issued by the division headquarters, including an entire company.
Infantry equipment, as well as several Type 24 heavy machine guns and Type 82 mortars used for actual operations.
After the cadets left, the weapons and equipment allocated for training had to be recycled by the division.
The teaching brigade finally returned the Type 24 heavy machine gun and Type 82 mortar, leaving half of the Zhongzheng rifle, the Czech style.
All the light machine guns were left behind.
This was regarded as Zhang Wei's private land for the teaching brigade, and he got some more weapons in stock.
The division headquarters didn't say anything.
Deputy Commander Liao, who was in charge, had no objection.
Anyway, just return all the large equipment such as mortars and heavy machine guns.
For the infantry equipment, Deputy Commander Liao Quan regarded it as a reward for the teaching brigade.
After moving the firearms, the soldiers in the baggage platoon were moving the stock of uniforms and ammunition to the horse-drawn cart under the command of He Kun.
Sometimes problems will not be discovered if you don't take action.
This time, after giving the order to set off, the baggage platoon discovered that in their hands There are simply not enough delivery vehicles.
The six horse-drawn carts alone could not load all the excess uniforms and ammunition in the entire brigade.
The uniforms and ammunition were far more than the weapons in stock required.
Moreover, the various livestock raised by the teaching brigade also needed to be pulled by carts.
Fortunately, there was a village nearby.
Zhang Wei asked He Kun to spend money to buy a few horse-drawn carts, and then he loaded the brigade's excess supplies.
"Captain, we've loaded the blankets, extra ammunition, and the animals into the cart."
He Kun ran over and reported to Zhang Wei.
"Okay, each squadron will set off immediately after being organized."
Zhang Wei, wearing full equipment, nodded to He Kun.
Zhang Wei was also fully armed now, followed by three messengers with bugles.
Zhang Wei wore a steel helmet.
He had a Browning pistol on his waist, a Zeiss telescope around his neck, and his military boots were replaced with rubber shoes.
The soldiers of the infantry squadron did not have a heavy burden.
They just had to carry more ammunition, all weapons and marching quilts.
It took nearly two hours to prepare the whole brigade.
Two hours after receiving the order, the whole brigade of the teaching brigade set off. camp.

The nearby area is very safe and it is not a war zone.
Zhang Wei asked the teaching brigade to march in a brigade-ready manner.
The first squadron took the lead, the second squadron followed, the heavy firepower squadron, the baggage platoon, the engineer platoon and Zhang Wei's brigade were headquartered in the second squadron.
Behind, in the rear is the third squadron, the entire teaching brigade, three infantry squadrons, and one heavy firepower squadron.
The squadron, a baggage platoon and a combat engineer platoon, left the original station with nine heavy machine guns and two 82 mortars.
Naturally, the nearby garrison would take over the original station and teach the brigade to number the camp gates.
After the card was played, more than 800 people from the entire brigade marched towards the headquarters of the New 22nd Division on the outskirts of Xiangtan.
The entire division is moving to Dong'an, Hunan.
The main force has not yet moved, and the troops directly under the division will go first.
The division headquarters is the command organ of a division.
Before each regiment moves out, the division headquarters must be mobilized first.
Following the division headquarters, there are also the troops directly under the division. , Therefore, the division headquarters of the New 22nd Division and the units directly under the division must move faster than the infantry regiments below.
Among the units directly under the New 22nd Division, the teaching brigade has the strongest overall strength.
The units directly under the New 22nd Division include a mortar battalion, a special agent company, a communications company, and a transport battalion, which can be used as infantry.
The only ones left are the special agent company and the teaching brigade.
The special agent company is responsible for the close protection of the division headquarters, as well as the protection of senior officers.
It has a small number of people and is overwhelmed by this large-scale transfer of defense.
The teaching brigade has the strongest combat capability among the units directly under the division and has a large number of people, so it will naturally be relied upon by the division headquarters.
The teaching brigade is the furthest away among the units directly under the division.
The other units directly under the division are right next to the division headquarters.
Due to the nature of the mission, the teaching brigade cannot be close to the division headquarters.
Otherwise, they would shoot and shoot every day.
For the division headquarters The whole brigade walked for about an hour and finally arrived at the headquarters of the New 22nd Division.
The area near the division headquarters was even busier than the departure of the teaching brigade.
More than a thousand people were busy around, with trucks, mules and horses, and a large number of soldiers carrying all kinds of ammunition and supplies.
Cars and imported trucks drove slowly among the crowd, and from time to time soldiers urged and car horns sounded.
These two completely different means of transportation travel together on the same road section.
From a distance, the surroundings of the division headquarters are also quite spectacular.
Zhang Wei ordered the whole brigade to stop advancing.
The front was already chaotic enough.
The more than 800 people in the teaching brigade would be uncomfortable if they went any further.
Zhang Wei led his messengers towards the division headquarters, preparing to meet with the division commander inside the division headquarters to receive the next action plan.
The surrounding area was quite crowded.
Zhang Wei and the messengers squeezed through the passing crowds.
Some of the soldiers around them had guns, some were unarmed soldiers, some were wearing helmets, and some were without helmets.
Even the shoes on their feet were different. , both cloth shoes and straw sandals are available.
But most of them wear straw sandals.
These soldiers are from the troops directly under the division.
The fully armed ones are soldiers from the special agent company.
They are dressed in tatters and have nothing but clothes.
The 80% are the top soldiers of the transport battalion.
They have steel helmets and no How many weapons are used by the people of the communication company.
There were also soldiers from the mortar battalion, leading horses in groups, pulling 82 mortars and artillery shells, and walking through the ranks.
There were not enough roads, and many soldiers were forced to walk on both sides of the road in extremely poor condition. , equipment, and soldiers from all directly affiliated units were crowded together, it could be called the Republic of China version of a traffic jam.
With so many people doing various tasks at the same time, Zhang Wei really couldn't get into the division headquarters quickly.

He could only squeeze in and walk.
Zhang Wei and the three signal soldiers walked for seven or eight minutes for a few hundred meters.
