I really came here to fight against Japan

The reorganization of the Red Army went very smoothly, which made the commanders of the Military Affairs Department very proud.

The two sides fought intermittently for ten years, and finally the Red Army was incorporated into the National Government's unit.

They were also driven from the southern hinterland such as Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, and Sichuan to the barren land of the northwest.

Looking at the 18th Route Army in front of him, they were holding old Hanyang-made rifles.

The entire army consisted of only about 1891 troops, armed with Mosin-Nagant M- rifles.

Nearly half of the Red Army soldiers were still holding the old swords and spears.

The chief of the military affairs department did not expect that his simple words could be so powerful.

"The country doesn't have enough guns now," so the once famous Red Army was sent away.

The chief of the military headquarters attributed all the credit to Song Wenwan.

There were eight thousand elite cavalrymen watching the periphery, and twenty thousand Xigan Tiger Guards guarding on the sidelines.

In addition, with himself and Song Wenwan in charge of the central army, there is no need to worry that the Eighth Route Army will not suffer a loss.

Sometimes he wondered whether he should let Song Wenwan take action.

It would be much easier if Song Wenwan could mobilize all his main forces to take down the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

But he just thought so, so forget it. The Shanxi war zone has been waiting for reinforcements for a long time!

All the soldiers on the Eighth Route Army side were filled with indignation.

Why don’t we take our own weapons and go to the anti-Japanese battlefield?

These are some swords and spears that I don't know when they were stored.

Thinking about the marksmanship I had practiced hard in the mountains over the past few months, it seemed that it was of no use now.

Only the Eighth Route Army leaders above the brigade level looked sad on the surface, but they were actually laughing secretly in their hearts.

They had already discussed with Song Wenwan that once they arrived in Shanxi and had obtained clearance from the theater commander, all the troops would immediately change their equipment.

If anyone asks, I picked up these equipment. If anyone still asks, they were given to me by international friends.

Let the people from the National Government go and sue the people from the Big Bear!

Song Wenwan didn't have a good impression of the Russian bears during that period.

We are all from the same party, and you gave the Nanjing National Government guns and cannons.

But what about us? You just airlifted a few boxes of Marxist-Leninist books? What for?

In early September, the Eighth Route Army, "accompanied" by Song Wenwan, set out.

The first batch of main forces of the Eighth Route Army began to cross the Yellow River to the east and advance towards Shanxi.

When Song Wenwan just arrived at the ferry, she saw the Shanxi Suiyuan Army checking people with barbed wire.

"Why can't you let us cross the Yellow River? We are going there to fight against the Japanese..."

Several officers of the Eighth Route Army were asking angrily as they surrounded the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army outside the checkpoint.

The officer of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army said proudly: "Brother, I am the deputy commander Tian of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

By order of the theater commander-in-chief, this ferry is only allowed to allow troops with a regular post in the Ministry of National Defense to cross the river.

Those of you who are not on the regular staff, such as the new 8th and 9th regiments, are not allowed to cross the river, or you will be killed without mercy!"

Following Deputy Regiment Commander Tian's words of killing without mercy, the sound of machine gun bullets being loaded was heard in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's position.

A regimental commander of the Eighth Route Army was so angry that he tried to force his way through the checkpoint.

Several other comrades of the Eighth Route Army tried their best to stop them.

Deputy Regiment Commander Tian of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was holding the military sequence memorandum issued by the Ministry of National Defense.

He shouted at the Eighth Route Army, accompanied by loud laughter in the position, and his attitude seemed extremely bad.

Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard from behind the Eighth Route Army.

When the regiment commander saw that it was his leader who had arrived, he ran over immediately.

The commander came over and asked, "Why don't you cross the river? Are you staying here and waiting for the Japanese planes to bomb you?"

The regiment commander said: "Division Commander, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is too bullying.

They said they didn’t recognize our training regiment’s number and wouldn’t let us cross the Yellow River.”

After hearing this, the Eighth Route Army division commander turned his horse's head.

He walked slowly towards the direction of Deputy Commander Tian of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Deputy Captain Tian looked up and was shocked. Oh my God, how come this great man is here?

He just shrank his neck and didn't dare to say a word when facing the Eighth Route Army division commander who was slowly approaching.

Seeing how scared he was, the leader of the Eighth Route Army asked him, "Why? Do you know me?"

Deputy Head Tian said flatteringly: "I know a little about your great reputation."

The commander of the Eighth Route Army did not dismount and asked directly: "It is you who will not allow my men to cross the river to fight against the Japanese?"

These words scared Deputy Captain Tian!

This is to charge him with the crime of sabotaging the anti-Japanese war.

He quickly explained: "Commander of the Eighth Route Army, these are all orders issued by the war zone, and we are also executing them!"

The commander of the Eighth Route Army said: "If I were to accuse you of sabotaging the war of resistance, I would kill you right now.

Will your theater commander help you get justice?"

Deputy Regiment Commander Tian from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was terrified and quickly apologized to the division commander of the Eighth Route Army.

With a bitter face, he ordered his men to let the Eighth Route Army pass as soon as possible.

After this wave of Eighth Route Army had crossed the river, Song Wenwan and his Xigan Detachment finally arrived.

Deputy Captain Tian initially thought he was playing tricks on himself.

Why are there so many elite Central Army troops suddenly coming from the west?

If they had come here earlier, I would never have let those thugs cross the river.

But when I got closer, I realized that they were not the Central Army, but the troops from Xigan transferred from the war zone.

Aren’t they said to be extremely unsophisticated?

Isn’t it said that the combat effectiveness of their Xigan infantry is even worse than that of the Sichuan Army?

First of all, I couldn’t recognize the rifles they were carrying. I didn’t know what type of gun they were.

Although I don't know where their rifle bullets are.

But looking at the Mauser pistols on their waists, you can tell that they have no shortage of bullets.

The fact that they dare to equip their soldiers with steel helmets and rubber-soled shoes shows that they are treated well in normal times.

Look at their waists, they are carrying four grenades.

This shows that the soldiers usually eat well and have sufficient physical strength.

Each person carries a sharp engineer shovel on his back, which shows that they dare to fight in close combat.

Look at the submachine gunners in other people's troops, there are quite a few in almost every company.

Think about it, the commander-in-chief of my own theater of war, even his guards probably don’t have anything, the Xigan coalition is rich.

This is a strong army, this is an elite army!

It’s a pity that we didn’t see their heavy artillery. It would be great if our Chinese army also had heavy artillery.

I heard from the brothers who retreated from the front that many armies were defeated unfairly.

They didn't even see the Japanese before they were blown to pieces by their heavy artillery.

However, this wave of troops in front of us really gives the Chinese people a boost.

It turned out that I heard from my boss that his own theater commander didn't want them very much.

Now it seems that the commander-in-chief was wise and sent them to the war zone in Shanxi.

With elite troops like the Xigan Allied Forces, there is hope that Taiyuan can be saved.

Then we can also destroy the Japanese arrogance in Shanxi.

I heard that my 358th Regiment is going to be assigned a commander who is particularly capable in fighting. I hope he can lead me to kill more Japanese devils!
