Text Chapter 189: Training

At the 9th Division station outside Guiyang City, a young officer with the rank of colonel walked into the division command center and shouted loudly.

"Teacher, I'm back."

However, when he walked into the command center, he found that not only their division commander were sitting in the command center, but also his former boss, the Minister of Military Affairs of Guizhou who was in charge of Guizhou's defense, and Peng Xiu, who was also the commander of the Third Army.

"Captain, why are you here too?"

After saying that, Tang Yuanshan's legs were all together and saluted Mu Tongwu and Peng Xiu.

If he is just alone, he doesn't need to do this. After all, he is already very familiar with each other, so it doesn't matter if he is casual on weekdays, but if there is an outsider...

In fact, Tang Yuanshan, Peng Xiu and Mu Tongwu have a good relationship, so in a sense, these two people are actually outsiders, in a sense...

Looking at his old subordinate, Peng Xiu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you're all old acquaintances, don't be able to do this." Peng Xiu pointed to the chair next to him and said, "You've just returned from the bandits? Sit down and take a break."

After hearing what Peng Xiu said, after looking at Mu Tongwu's face and confirming that there was no problem, he sat down without hesitation.

As soon as Tang Yuanshan sat down, an orderly soldier came up to pour him a cup of tea. When Tang Yuanshan saw that it was ordinary Riley flower tea, he took the cow and drank it. After walking for such a long time, he was really too thirsty to bear it.

Looking at the dusty appearance of his old subordinate, Peng Xiu had such concern.

"How is it? I didn't encounter any trouble on the way to suppress the bandits, did you?"

After hearing Peng Xiu's question, Tang Yuanshan quickly put down the empty cup. "The information is a bit inaccurate. Although the strength of the bandits is not very good, their surveillance is in the deep mountains, and the terrain is very dangerous, so heavy weapons cannot be transported at all." As he said that, Tang Yuanshan pointed to the cup and signaled the orderly soldiers to fill the tea.

Today, the Kuomintang has 10 infantry divisions, and its strength is even close to Beiyang.

Although the quality is not as good as the old Beiyang, the 10 divisions of the Guoshe Party still have a very advantage in equipment. After all, in addition to a large number of mortars, the Guoshe Party also equipped a large number of Madson light machine guns and Beiyang has only a small number of grenades equipped with a small number of (not new things, so the warlords such as the Beiyang and the Yunnan Army have learned it, but the number of equipment is not as good as that of the Guoshe Party).

After expanding the troops owned by the KSG Party into 10 infantry divisions, Yan Guang reorganized the 10 infantry divisions. The 2nd Division and the 5th and 6th Infantry Divisions were reorganized into the First Army, the 3rd, 7th and 8th Infantry Divisions were reorganized into the Second Army. As for the 4th Infantry Divisions under Peng Xiu's original jurisdiction, the 9th and 10th Divisions were reorganized into the Third Army, and Peng Xiu was also appointed as the commander of the Third Army.

As for Feng Nan's 1st Division, it was reorganized into the Guard Division, which was specifically responsible for the defense issues in Chengdu and surrounding areas. After reorganizing the troops of 10 infantry divisions into three armies, the First Army was stationed in Chengdu, the Second Army was stationed in Chongqing, and the Third Army was stationed in Guiyang, responsible for the defense of the entire Guizhou.

At the same time, mixed methods have been adopted to deal with military sources to reduce the problems caused by regional relations.

For example, within Peng Xiu's Third Army, except for the 4th Infantry Division, all the troops from the 4th Infantry Division were Sichuan, the newly built 9th and 10th Infantry Divisions were Sichuan, and the Guizhou people were half of the same. However, among officers, Sichuan-born officers accounted for the vast majority, while Guizhou-born officers accounted for only one-quarter.

As for the 6th, 7th and 8th Infantry Divisions, which belong to the First Army and the Second Army, the source of troops is also Sichuan, and Guizhou is half the same. After all, Guizhou has a population of more than 10 million, although its population is still not as good as Sichuan's 50 million, and it is still fine to have 350,000 people join the army.

However, in terms of the issue of officers, the three newly built divisions in Sichuan are even worse than the two infantry divisions in Guizhou, and only one-fifth of the officers from Guizhou account for.

It’s not that Yan Guang didn’t want to promote Guizhou-born power, after all, he was not from Sichuan. The more officers there were in Guizhou, the more balanced the Guoshe Party, and his status would naturally be more stable. In fact, in order to enhance Guizhou-born power within the Guoshe Party, Yan Guang even promoted two Guizhou-born people as division commanders. For example, the commander of the 10th Division of the Third Army was a Guizhou-born person, and the commander of the 7th Division was also a commander. In addition to these two division commanders, there were three chiefs of staff in the five newly built divisions, and they were all from Guizhou.

However, the number of officers trained in the Army Primary School in Guizhou, that is, in the past, Guizhou Martial Arts School, was not comparable to that of the officers trained by the Sichuan Army School, Sichuan Martial Arts School and the Quick School. So although the number of Sichuan and Guizhou people in the five newly built infantry divisions is half the same, it occupies an absolute disadvantage at the level of officers. After all, even if Yan Guang wants to cultivate Guizhou forces, you can find the talents that can be trained by him?

Despite this, under Yan Guang's efforts and training, military and political officials from Guizhou in the Kuomintang Party still held a large number of forces. For example, Zhang Bailin, the current Guizhou Governor, was a slag that Yan Guang looked down upon at all (with less than 5 combat power), but now he is Yan Guang's close comrade-in-arms.

Of course, the level of intimacy between the two is definitely not comparable to that of the bearded and the bearded man. However, after he completely surrendered, Yan Guang still asked Luo Lun to give him a lot of rights.

In addition to political matters, Yan Guang also has other troubles, such as the combat effectiveness of the troops, etc. After all, Yuan Sun and others will "personally" start the "Second Revolution". In addition to the original division (extraordinary period, more than half a year is considered a veteran), although the five newly built infantry divisions are well-equipped, they are completely composed of a group of new recruits. 5 infantry divisions? China is not a big JB place like Japan. What are the 5 infantry divisions?

Therefore, it is urgent to have the 5 newly built divisions to have combat effectiveness at the fastest speed.

And how can we quickly graduate from the novice village with the five newly built infantry divisions? Naturally, we go to the wilderness to find monsters to try their experience...

Although it has entered the Republic of China now, there are a large number of bandits in Sichuan and other provinces, and this person is the most suitable person to gain experience. After all, as long as the new recruits have been on the battlefield twice and survived, they are basically considered veterans (not bleeding).

So he sang the loud National Army March (composed by Yan Guang himself, adapted from saying goodbye to the Slavic women), and the five newly built infantry divisions used mules and horses to pull various weapons including 75mm mountain and field cannons, and began to clear out the "illegal armed forces" in Kawaguchi territory.

However, although many bandits are very suitable for experience, some are not suitable, such as the ones that Tang Yuanshan encountered this time.

"The terrain is dangerous, and the mountain cannons cannot be transported at all, and the heavy machine guns were barely lifted up. There is also the inspection wall made of rocks. The grenades were tied into a ball and could not be blown up. In the end, there was no way, so I had to let the mortar company directly under the regiment blow up the mountain cannon. "... Because the terrain is dangerous, even if the village gate of the village was swept away by the heavy machine guns, the soldiers under Tang Yuanshan still couldn't rush up.

Seeing the group of new recruits under his command being injured and even lying down, Tang Yuanshan, who was furious, simply pushed up the mortar company directly under the regiment. In the end, the six mortars were fired with all their might, and shot out more than half of the shells in the regiment, and finally flattened the unlucky copycat.

When the bandits in the village crawled out and surrendered, there were only a few living inside...

Mu Tongwu and Peng Xiu did not argue with Tang Yuanshan's actions. After all, they were just a group of bandits. The only pity was the ammunition thrown into the parcel. However, if the situation at that time was really the same as what Tang Yuanshan said, it would probably be the only feasible solution at that time. You should know that although it cannot be compared with wasted mortar shells, the pension for soldiers after being disabled and killed was also a considerable amount.

"Just treat it as giving artillery experience."

After looking at each other, Peng Xiu and Mu Tongwu thought to themselves.

"By the way, division commander, army commander, what were you talking about just now?"

After talking about the bandit suppression, Tang Yuanshan drank the teacup that the orderly soldiers had just filled, and then remembered what Peng Xiu and Mu Tongwu seemed to be saying, so he asked curiously. Tang Yuanshan would ask this because the orderly soldiers were always in the office. Since the orderly soldiers did not avoid it, I think what they were talking about would not be important, otherwise, although they did not have much political experience, Tang Yuanshan would not have asked this.

Because what the two of them just talked about is indeed not a secret, after a look at each other, Mu Tongwu spoke.

"We're just talking about Yang Qi."

"Who?" I still feel familiar with this name, but I just can't remember who it is.

"Yang Qi." Thinking of Tang Yuanshan's suppression of bandits for a while, he didn't know the latest news, so Mu Tongwu explained. "It was the original supervisor of Sichuan Arsenal." As Mu Tongwu told Tang Yuanshan what happened in recent times.

At this time, Peng Xiu, who was standing beside him, also spoke.

"Speaking of this, Yang Xian's salary is not low. It is said that there are thousands of acres of fertile land in his family. He even colluded with other people to embezzle the property of the arsenal. No wonder the governor would attack them. It is indeed not greedy..."

As one of the top military and political officials in the Kuomintang Party, Peng Xiu's monthly salary is 500 yuan, plus various public subsidies. You should know that Zhang Xiu is only in his 20s now, and he only has one wife and two children at home. Unlike Yang Qi, he also took a few concubines. His past expenses were nothing but treating guests and drinking (there was no car at this time). The monthly salary of 500 yuan was enough to buy real estate and hire servants, so he was not afraid of talking and making a flickering tongue.

You should know that in 1933, Chiang Kai-shek's monthly salary was only 800 yuan, the vice chairman, deputy directors of various departments, and the chairman of various provinces was only 650 yuan. Although the people above must have gray income, even if they did not, a few hundred silver dollars would be enough for them to be rich.

Moreover, to apply the price in 1933, a piece of ocean is at least equivalent to 60 yuan (depending on the region), an ordinary New Army soldier in the late Qing Dynasty only had a monthly salary of 7 yuan, and 7*60 was 420 yuan. In other words, the salary of a new army soldier was only more than 400 yuan in later generations. At this time, the new army was already a rare high-paid profession. If it were other professions, it would probably not be able to make even a hundred yuan...
