History always has an astonishing inertia.
Even though Jiang Li, a time traveler, changed the situation in the northwest beyond recognition, on the issue of Shanxi, the 18th Group Army led by General Zhu still entered Shanxi and prepared to fight against Taiyuan together with Yan Xishan. battle and contribute their own strength to the war of resistance.
Of course, the 18th Army at this time was also somewhat different from that in history.
In order not to irritate the nerves of Nanjing and the United States prematurely, the fact that Huang Xiansheng and a few others joined the party is still kept secret, and is as unknown to outsiders as the top military secrets of the Northwest Army.
Some of the top leaders of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi have integrated into the political arena in the northwest, consolidating the political power in the northwest, while some still remain in the military circles, ready to devote their lives to the Anti-Japanese War.
The Northwest Army expanded at a great pace this time and recruited too many new soldiers.
As a result, some of the newly expanded units were weak in combat effectiveness.
The Red Army in northern Shaanxi was previously equipped with extremely low equipment.
In order to further promote the integration of the Northwest, a group of troops in northern Shaanxi were The veterans spread to the new divisions in the northwest, in exchange for a large amount of ordnance.
The mountain artillery was slightly less powerful, but the large number of mortars, light and heavy machine guns and other weapons were not reduced at all.
The 18th Army's historically three-division organization was now transformed into three armies.
The Miao Zhengliu 57th Army, drawn from the Northeastern Army, had jurisdiction over the 111th and 112th divisions.
The 5th Army, drawn from the Northwest Army, has jurisdiction over the 8th and 19th Divisions.
In addition, the 115th and 120th divisions of the 9th Army, the original headquarters of northern Shaanxi.
In addition to the independent heavy artillery regiments assigned to the group army, the air defense battalions of each military headquarters.
Although it is inferior to the several armies that came out of the Central Plains in the east, the weapons and equipment of the Jinsui Army were originally good. as a guest army.
A group army consists of three corps.
If we include the flight team sent to Shanxi.
The 18th Army already has a strength of 10,000.
Due to Yan Xishan's shrinkage of troops, Suiyuan was empty.
Liu Duoquan's 49th Army of the former Northeastern Army, which had been merged into Li Du's 5th Army, had moved its general headquarters to Baotou.
The 3rd Cavalry Division and the 6th Cavalry Division of the Northeast Army have respectively stationed themselves in Guyang and the Tumut Right Banner area, covering the north and south wings of Baotou.
However, what really gave Liu Duoquan, Xu Liang, Liu Guiwu and others the confidence to move into the Yinchuan area.
The 1st Mechanized Brigade of Zhou Dafu is ready to go north at any time.
The 12th Division of the Northwest Army has been stationed in the Yulin area of northern Shaanxi.
Back then, Sun Liren's 2nd Mechanized Brigade marched into Xi'an with great force, showing off their muscles to Dijing, and at the same time frightening the generals of the Northeast Army.
At that time, Liu Duoquan, Wu Keren and others believed that although Sun Liren's was the 2nd Mechanized Brigade, there might not really be a 1st Brigade in the northwest.
Northwest has not given any explanation for the doubts raised by the outside world.
Although there are different opinions, no one has been able to find out the core fist force of the Northwest Army.
But after heading north from Yinchuan again and seeing the real existence of the 1st Mechanized Brigade, I had already seen it once in Xi'an.
Forty tanks and hundreds of transport trucks can be seen.
When the towed artillery regiment, Liu Duoquan, his deputy commander Dong Yanping, chief of staff Wu Anzhi and others were deeply shocked again.
However, Liu Duoquan did not quite understand why Northwest chose to deploy such elite troops in a relatively remote battlefield like Suiyuan.
However, while marching, construction teams heading north could be seen along the way, as well as vehicles transporting them.
Machinery, it seems that they are preparing to overhaul the fortifications in Suiyuan.
It's just that Northwest hasn't said anything yet, and Liu Duoquan doesn't bother to ask.
After all, even if he asks, he may not really be able to find out the reason.
Every action taken by Left and Right Northwest has a profound meaning.
This time, they may want to put a partial division in Suiyuan to threaten the Japanese troops in Chahar and Pingsui Road.
Let the North China Front troops not dare to go south without any scruples.
However, this trip to Suiyuan will not be idle after all.
The Japanese army captured the eastern section of Pingsui Road.
Suiyuan was empty at this time.
The Japanese army would not miss this opportunity.
The Jinsui army had already given up on Suiyuan.

Under such circumstances, the Northwest Army will not sit back and watch Suiyuan fall easily.
Now that it is dispatching such military strength, it must be that they want to start a big war in Suiyuan.
For Liu Duoquan and others, as long as they can fight the Japanese army, it is enough.
Wu Keren fought bloody battles in Pingjin, and he was jealous of him.
Although the Northeast Army is scattered in various battlefields at this time, the situation is still pretty good.
Liu Duoquan and Dong Yanping were naturally in a good mood.
Relatively speaking, Wu Keren's expression was not very good at this time.
"Commander Wu, is it you who gives the order, or my men?"
Geng Youmin looked at Wu Keren leisurely and said.
Geng Youmin originally worked in the army, but because he was too strict with his subordinates, he received a lot of criticism from below.
Now he has been transferred to the Military Law Department and can be regarded as his professional counterpart.
In fact, he is completely different from the combat troops.
But for Geng Youmin, he felt that life like this was not bad.
His role in the Military Law Office was no lower than that of the combat troops, just like what he was doing now.
"It's better for you to do it.
From now on, you will take care of this kind of thing yourself sooner or later."
Wu Keren shook his head expressionlessly.
"Military seat, you call me."
Not long after, Zhang Wenqing passed the military guards and strode in.
However, what surprised him was that the officers he had always been familiar with suddenly saw several unfamiliar faces, and there were people coming.
Still a major general.
"It should be said that we invited you."
Geng Youmin said with a grin.
At this time, Northwest's control over military ranks was very strict, and promotion from senior colonel to major general was a very difficult threshold to cross.
Even the division commanders of most of the main divisions will gradually be adjusted to the rank of senior colonel.
As a major general, he is at least on an equal footing with a military commander or military chief of staff.
It was precisely because of this that Wu Keren knew that Northwest would never go along with Zhang Wenqing's dereliction of duty.
"What do you want to ask me for?"
Zhang Wenqing frowned, not quite understanding the current situation.
"It is hereby that Zhang Wenqing, commander of the 108th Division of the 67th Army, did not fight well, which caused the 3rd Army's defense line to waver.
The Japanese detachment detoured and approached the 3rd Army headquarters, which almost caused the group army to suffer irreversible losses and endangered the entire Peking-Tianjin front.
The commander of the 108th Division has an irreversible responsibility.
Although the 3rd Army responded promptly and did not cause serious consequences, the crime of fear of war cannot be ignored.
The General Staff decided to remove Zhang Wenqing from the post of commander of the 108th Division and transfer him to the position of deputy director of public security in Dali County.
He hoped that after taking office, he would assist the local government in maintaining order in Dali County and contribute to the northwest of the Republic of China.
"Military General Staff Telegram" Geng Youmin read the telegram in his hand, and then placed the dismissal order and the order to take up a post in Shaanxi on the table next to him
