Chapter 116: The First Mechanized Army


The situation in Kunming is now stable, several temporary airfields have been restored, large quantities of American aid materials have arrived, and the defeated Japanese Burma Front will not be able to look west for a long time, unless the Japanese army changes its strategy in India.

Song Yuhang, who had been very low-key some time ago, suddenly exerted his strength without warning, first using the power of the garrison commander to deal with several battalion and regiment-level officers of the 8th Army who violated military discipline, and then on the grounds that the newly arrived 2nd Army was disturbing the people, he bypassed the Ministry of Military Affairs and directly asked the chairman of the committee to transfer the 24th Army out of western Yunnan, so that the 2nd Army completely lost the opportunity to change into American-style equipment.

Although he paid a lot of money to compensate the 24th Army in private, he shocked the proud soldiers from all walks of life who came to Kunming to compete for the share of US aid.

On the issue of the expansion of the 200th Mechanized Brigade, the Central Military Commission has emerged two plans: one is to reorganize the 200th Mechanized Brigade into the 200th Mechanized Division, and the second is to directly expand the 200th Mechanized Brigade into the First Mechanized Army.

From Song Yuhang's personal point of view, he is more inclined to the second expansion plan, which is to directly expand the 200th Mechanized Brigade into the First Mechanized Army, after all, there is no first, and the number of the Second First Mechanized Army has a huge attraction to Song Yuhang, and the number of the First Mechanized Army can also help him get rid of the original shadow of the 200th Division.

Song Yuhang knew that the biggest obstacle to the expansion of the 200th Mechanized Brigade into the First Mechanized Army was the volume of the Hump route, and now Kunming can be described as a heavy gathering of troops, and many units such as the 53rd Army, the 54th Army, the 8th Army, and the 100th Army in the establishment of the code-named Y Army are crowded in Kunming waiting to receive equipment for reorganization.

In Kunming, many troops can be called the elite of the lineage, and in the face of the huge combat power brought by sophisticated American equipment, the bigwigs of the Ninth War Zone also stretched out their hands.

The situation of more wolves and less meat made Song Yuhang very helpless.

Song Yuhang's urgency to delay was to first put up the shelves of the First Mechanized Army and digest the three numbers of the 10th Provisional Division, the 11th Division, and the 12th Division.

As for the insufficient personnel, they had to be selected from the youth army gathered in Kunming, which was tantamount to competing with the new 38th and new 22nd divisions of the Indian military station, and Song Yuhang's strong opponent in terms of weapons and equipment was He Shaozhou's 8th Army.

As an elite department, the 8th Army has three integrated divisions, namely the Honorary First Division, the 82nd Division, and the 103rd Division.

The rest is not as good as that.

In order to ensure that the units of the 8th Army can receive sufficient equipment and materials.

He Yingqin and others advocated that the 200th Mechanized Brigade should be reorganized into the 200th Mechanized Division for the time being, citing that Song Yuhang's qualifications were too junior and it would not be easy for them to move up too quickly, and that the various units of the 200th Mechanized Brigade had suffered too heavy losses in the Battle of Kunming, and that the rapid expansion was inappropriate.

Song Yuhang naturally couldn't accept the proposition of He Yingqin and others, but he could only play the family card.

Mobilize all the connections he can mobilize to interfere with the decisions of Chiang Kai-shek and wait for the good offices of Chungkai.

Song Yuhang inspected the situation of the post-war replenishment of various units, and on the whole he was very satisfied with the extent of the replenishment, and the serious side effect was that the 600 recruits airlifted to the Indian army every day dropped sharply to less than 100.

For this reason, Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang, who were training in Myanmar, sent a special telegram to the Ministry of Military Affairs to question, and they could be described as loving, angry, and slightly jealous of Song Yuhang, a junior.

The battle clouds in the head of Kunming City came suddenly, and they dissipated quickly.

Song Yuhang knew that after this battle, the Burmese Japanese army was no longer able to attack.

Towards the end of the year.

The New Year's atmosphere has quietly arrived.

Although it was the war years.

After experiencing too much life and death, people cherish the temporary peace in front of them even more.

Prices are skyrocketing.

People's livelihood is difficult.

But I was able to get along quietly with my family.

In this era of war and enclave, it is already a great place to be happy.

Song Yuhang clearly remembered that in 1943, the Chinese battlefield would have been quite peaceful due to the Japanese army's southward expansion policy.

For 194 years of fierce battles.

He must seize the rare gap of 43 years to survive and develop.

There is an old saying among the Chinese that you don't see each other for three days.

I should be impressed The New Year is coming.

Song Yuhang received a telegram from the United States.

A self-proclaimed broker.

An American named Fodoko said that he was entrusted by Mr.

Song Ziwen to manage Mr.

Song Yuhang's Song International Investment Company.

He will report to Song Yuhang on the company's operation and management This telegram made Song Yuhang suddenly think of his investment in the United States. and dozens of patents involving military and civilian technology. has experienced a series of life-and-death battles.

Song Yuhang, who has seen too much blood, has lost interest in money.

He only hoped that those technologies would help the Americans create advanced weapons and equipment.

Defeat Japan as quickly and thoroughly as possible.

And he must also do his best to fight for the interests of the nation and the country that should belong to them.

Evening.

Suna brought a telegram to Song Yuhang from the official residence.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

The telegram told him to go back to Chongqing to celebrate the New Year.

Song Yuhang realized between the lines of the telegram that his relatives expected him.

"Do I have the time and the right to enjoy peace and ease?"

Song Yuhang smiled helplessly, turned to Suna and said, "Call back for me, why is the Huns at home if they are not destroyed?"

Suna was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "The commander is going to stay in Kunming for the New Year."

Song Yuhang smiled and nodded: "Of course I, the commander of the garrison, will stay in Kunming, but you have to arrange Shen Jieyi's itinerary, the seat at Kunming Airport has been a little tight recently."

Su Na took the words and glanced at Song Yuhang and said: "Your Commander Song's confidante wants to go back to Chongqing, it's already good without a special plane, it's just a seat."

"Director Su, don't talk nonsense, people are still girls" Song Yuhang's explanation paled in comparison, and now almost all of Kunming knows Shen Jieyi's identity.

The only daughter of Shen Wuting, a wealthy businessman, the eldest daughter of Shen Jiadi, Song Yuhang's fiancée, is looking for a husband for thousands of miles Of course, Song Yuhang knew who Shen Jieyi was.

From the salary he can owe her for several lifetimes, it can be inferred that there must be an unusual relationship between them, especially after Song Meiling's special introduction, Song Yuhang is naturally clear about all kinds of things here.

Whether it is Wang Wen or Suna, Shen Jieyi, the Japanese female spy who once made her heart beat, according to her heart, sometimes Song Yuhang really wants to take all the women, although there are clear military laws prohibiting concubines, and those who violate military law are engaged in it, but look inside.

In addition to the freshman college school and the study abroad school.

That general is not three wives and four concubines If a person is shameless, he is invincible, and if he is cheap, he will be holy, carry forward the thick black theory to the limit, gather several women together, and say to them.

I'm a traditional Chinese man, and a teapot is matched with four teacups.

One wife and three concubines are very good and powerful Looking at Suna's undulating and choppy chest, Song Yuhang's lust suddenly stopped, because Xu Tuan entered the room at some point, standing behind Suna and looking at him with a strange expression.

Suna naturally knew what Song Yuhang, who looked like a pig, was thinking, if it weren't for Xu Tu'an's sudden arrival, she would almost take the initiative to dedicate herself, thinking of this, Suna's face immediately turned red, grabbed the telegram just sent on the table and walked away with her head down.

Xu Tu'an also realized that he had broken Song Yuhang's concubine intentions, coughed embarrassedly, and said with a little excitement: "There is news from Chongqing.

The plan for the expansion of our brigade into the 1st Mechanized Corps has been determined" Song Yuhang took a deep breath.

Although the Chongqing side had already revealed to him the plan for the expansion of the 200th Mechanized Brigade, it had also sent personnel to consult his local opinions.

He always thought that the expansion order would be issued after the year, and it would be a demon if something went wrong What surprised Song Yuhang even more was that early the next morning, the official order of the Supreme Military Commission was directly issued by telegram, in which the 200th Mechanized Brigade was transformed from an eight-battalion brigade to a mechanized corps with three divisions and two brigades, which was a unique precedent in the history of the National Revolutionary Army.

Song Yuhang was calculating the amount of hump transportation while pondering the personnel available to him, the prerequisite for the formation of the army is weapons and equipment, Kunming is not as good as India, especially the heavy equipment he needs can be described as hard-won, what makes him even more headache is logistics support and strategic material supply, at the moment the war is fought is logistics supply, and the materials and ammunition needed to maintain an armored force to attack are undoubtedly astronomical.

Song Yuhang knew very well how his armored division was blackmailed, and he believed that if it were not for the extraordinary contribution of his armored troops in the defense of Kunming, the Americans would not be willing to bear the huge consumption of the armored division, and if there was a lack of supplies and ammunition, his armored division would be equivalent to a tiger with broken limbs and teeth removed.

On the American side, Song Yuhang could only hope for the mediation of Soong Ziwen and Soong Meiling, and also hoped that the short-sighted British would not interfere arbitrarily, because the British military defeat in North Africa had seriously threatened Song Yuhang's plans, because a large number of planes and tanks were needed there.

The opportunity cannot be missed, and the opportunity can only be left to those who are prepared Song Yuhang convened a meeting of all the officers in the afternoon of the same day, and the news that the original 200 th Mechanized Brigade had been expanded into the First Mechanized Corps of the Third Division and the Second Brigade made the participants look excited.

In terms of personnel, Chongqing gave Song Yuhang great power, and even divisional officers were appointed by him, and the First Mechanized Army, which has a huge establishment and the youngest military seat in history, is undoubtedly the most promising to serve in the First Mechanized Army.

The most excited people are Xu Tu'an, Cui Zhijun, Luo Jiaxiang, and the former chief and deputy battalion commanders of the 200th Mechanized Brigade.
