I really came here to fight against Japan

A few days ago, their Sichuan Army Youth Division cooperated with the Eastward Detachment.

In front of Chairman Han of the Taizhou National Army, they cooperated to perform a good show.

The commander of the first regiment of their youth division was Major General He Qiang’s younger brother He Wen.

This is also a contemporary young man who gave up writing to join the military and has begun to emerge among young teachers.

There are currently 10,000 Sichuan troops training in Gannan, including officers and soldiers.

Some people in central Sichuan have long said that the Sichuan Army Youth Division will be the cradle of Sichuan Army generals in the future.

It is said that if the Sichuan Army wants to be promoted, they should enter the Youth Division. If you want to enter the Youth Division, you should enter Longshui City.

From this we can see that the Sichuan Army and the Gansu Army have been highly coordinated.

The Sichuan Army soldiers trained at the Gannan Longshui Military School are basically the same as the Gansu Army.”

"Wow..."

Seeing Minister Li applauding him again, Song Wenwan began to doubt himself again.

"No, I mean Minister Li, please give me a reminder. Could it be that I still have hidden soldiers?"

Minister Li saw that he really couldn't think of a solution, so he took the initiative to remind him.

"Commander Xiao Song, have you forgotten that in your previous military reports, there was a female soldier unit?"

A leader in northern Shaanxi said: “Yes, although we have now abolished the combat units composed of female comrades.

But it seems that your Gannan counties have not abolished their systems.”

At this moment, Song Wenwan finally remembered which unit Minister Li was talking about.

“First of all, I want to make it clear to the leaders that there is a reason why I didn’t mention them just now.

It’s not because I have the slightest disdain for lesbians.

There is indeed a female special forces unit called "Fire Phoenix" in the Gannan area.

Their main combat mission is to protect the safety of leaders and their wives when they travel, that is, they serve as bodyguards.

You all know Chen Taohua, right? She is the female comrade who accompanied my lover Zhu Bei to the capital last year.

Her role and the combat orders she executes fall within the scope of the Fire Phoenix's combat operations.

What I want to talk about next is the female militia organization in Gannan.

Their unit was established in 1935 with the help of Political Commissar Ding.

They have received some military training, but are not suitable for field combat.

But we can still fight a city defense battle by cooperating with our county security team.

Because over the years, the bandit problem in Gansu has long been eliminated.

Therefore, the organization of this female militia still exists, and military training during the slack season continues as usual.

Now in each county of Gannan, there are about a thousand female militiamen who can be used to defend the county.

If you add them up, there would be about 50,000 people.

As for the combat effectiveness of these female comrades, if a regiment of the National Army came to attack the city, they might be completely wiped out by the defending troops.

Even if the Nationalist Army sent a brigade, it would still be difficult to take the county town.

If a division were to attack the county town, holding out for 72 hours would not be a problem.

It's not that they are good at fighting. You don't know how tough the people there are.

If there really comes a day when we are attacked, no one in the city will be afraid.

They are all capable of blocking the enemy when defending the city and engaging in street fighting when going down the city.

I don't need to worry about logistics when they fight. Every household has at least one rifle and a hundred rounds of bullets.

If I hadn't been able to get a large amount of food, it would have been so easy to conquer the thirty counties that were originally under my jurisdiction.

But even though these uncles and aunties are tough, I think we should not count them all in."

Everyone is depressed by what you said, it seems that you only need to defend the city.

Each county town can gather a force of more than 4,000 people.

This means that all the troops left behind in Gansu will leave the province to fight.

You left more than 200,000 troops in your old base in Gansu to defend against foreign enemy forces.

Leader of the Iron Army: It really proves the old saying, this guy is more annoying than anyone else!

The wealth I have accumulated after three years of hard work is not as much as the people he left behind.

The accounts have been settled, and all the leaders, including Song Wenwan, are looking at Minister Li, waiting for his final answer.

Minister Li said: "The total strength of the field troops in the Gansu theater should be...

There should be 1.03 million regular troops and 80,000 security forces in various places in Gannan.

If all the troops used to defend the city are counted together.

The number could be as high as... 80,000 to 220,000."

Everyone looked at Commander Xiao Song with slightly dull eyes.

At this time, Song Wenwan was sitting on a chair, pressing her Ren Zhong acupoint with her thumb, giving herself first aid.

Deputy Commander: "The atmosphere that was finally created was ruined by this guy."

The bearded leader sitting next to him directly rewarded Song Wenwan with a pipe.

Song Wenwan, who was grimacing from the burns, finally sat up straight.

Song Wenwan smiled bitterly and said, "Now when it comes to the New Year and I look at my family's assets, I get scared.

At the beginning of the revolution, when we had an army of 200,000, we were so embarrassed and excited for several days.

Later we didn’t want to count anymore because we felt the number was too scary.

Today we counted a million troops, and I think my blood pressure has gone up.”

The commander-in-chief laughed and said, "You are so young, how can you have high blood pressure?

According to what you said, if we add the 150,000 troops of the Iron Army and the 500,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Then the total military strength of our party must be at least 1.7 million..."

Commander-in-Chief: The number of people in this team does seem to be a bit too large...

Song Wenwan raised her hand: "I suggest that we take a ten-minute break first. What do you think, leaders?"

After everyone rested for ten minutes, the leaders returned to the meeting room.

The leader of northern Shaanxi: "Our Commander Song has developed well in recent years.

With his help, our Red Army has developed rapidly from the 24th year of the Republic of China to the present.

From less than 100,000 troops at that time, it has grown into the current 1.7 million regular army.

If we include the militia organizations in various places, it is possible to say that there are two million troops. "

The commander-in-chief smiled and said, "Well, we still have a multi-service force that includes the navy, air force, artillery, cavalry, and armored forces."

The bearded chief laughed and said, "Haha, if the man in the attendant's room knew about this, he would regret it to death."

A leader asked: "Comrade Xiao Song, is there anything else you need our support for?

Now, while there are so many people around, please speak up and let everyone help you with your advice."

Song Wenwan: “Then I won’t be polite. I’m not only short of talent, but also short of people.

I have no shortage of military talents. What I lack now is talents in political work.

I heard that this year, more than a thousand college students graduated from the Shaanxi-Gansu Red University.

What do you think, comrade chief? I don’t want much. Just give me 500 graduates.

Just think about it, my one million troops can be divided into two hundred regiments.

You said that in my regiment, I need four vacancies for the political commissar, deputy political commissar, director and deputy director of the political department.

There are also six battalion-level instructors and deputy battalion-level instructors, and eighteen company-level instructors and deputy company-level instructors.

In my regiment, there is a shortage of 28 political cadres alone.

Just like the Second Rapid Reaction Brigade of the Taiyue Military Region, Wu Changfeng now shoulders both the duties of brigade commander and political commissar.

That was the authentic Eighth Route Army, and they were so short of political cadres, let alone our Gansu War Zone. "
