Chapter VI Hunan Army Aid Hubei
Liu Jingxiao was even more ecstatic. He only had more than 2,600 people in his hands. Before coming to Hubei, he had planned with Guo Junqing. The ideal situation was to form a mixed brigade, which would be acceptable if he formed a mixed brigade.
An infantry division can also be organized at least with the 12th Battalion of the Third Infantry Regiment. Moreover, the regular divisions of this provincial army generally have two brigades and four regiments. Each battalion commander present can be promoted to the regiment commander, and it is also very promising to be promoted to the battalion commander.
At this time, even the calmest Murong Xuehai could not control himself, and the officers bowed to Wang Zichunshen to express their gratitude.
However, the two ladies could still maintain a certain degree of soberness. Wanyan Yuzhuo gently twisted Liu Jingxiao, and he woke up immediately and asked Wang Zichun: "Don't we have the Hunan-Europe joint defense? Why would the Hunan Army come to attack us?"
Is it true that Liu Jingxiao is so strange? You must know that this Governor Wang is the most keen on the joint defense of the four provinces of Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, and wants to turn the two lakes into a buffer zone between the north and the south, and then turn these four provinces into an alliance to jointly defend the attacks from the north and the south. Of course, he was secretly planning. Of course, the leader of this alliance would be Governor Wang.
Not long ago, Hunan sent an envoy to Hubei to reiterate the Hunan-Hubei Joint Defense Treaty. Hubei also sold a batch of Han-made arms to Hunan at a preferential price. Unexpectedly, Hunan turned its back on the scene.
When Wang Zichun heard this, he seemed very regretful. He said, "This time he was fooled by Yi Hengzhao... He sold a large number of arms to attack us for nothing. They first established a pseudo-Hubei government under the banner of aiding Hubei, and then asked the pseudo-Hubei government to come forward and ask the Hunan Army to invade our Hubei... According to my news, the Hunan Army set out in the past two days!"
Liu Jingxiao roughly understood the reason, so he remembered something early or late and said, "Sir Jue, I wish I could go to the front line immediately, but my baggage, large luggage, and direct troops had not arrived yet. Can I wait for them to return to the establishment in Wuhan and then set out?"
Liu Jingxiao asked this question very well. In modern military combat, infantry alone would never work. The role of an artillery company will not be smaller than that of a battalion of infantry, but Liu Jingxiao was all infantry and not even half a special forces soldier. If you rush out, you may be massacred by the Hunan Army.
Wang Zichun asked: "How many troops do your direct team have?"
Liu Jingxiao answered: "There are a cavalry company, an artillery company, two baggage companies, a communication company, and a search company."
Wang Zichun: "I can't pull out the cavalry now. Let's do this. I'll transfer you one battalion of artillery, baggage, and engineering corps, and one company of communication corps?"
Ding Chong said from the side: "I have a guard company in my hand, so I can also transfer it to you!"
The artillery and logistics workers each had one battalion and a first company of the communications corps. If the cavalry battalion was added, it would be a direct unit of a very well-equipped infantry division. So Liu Jingxiao was very excited on his face. He said, "That's the best. I'll take the troops out immediately!"
Wang Zichun thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I will give you another three months of military salary of 170,000 yuan. This external team can first replace supplies, firearms and equipment in Wuhan, and set off tomorrow."
Liu Jingxiao quickly gave the most standard military salute: "Jingxiao will definitely live up to the desperation of the coach!"
Wang Zichun said: "You just need to join the Zhou regiment stationed in Yanglou for a week, and the reinforcements from both sides of the two sides of Hubei will arrive immediately. I will be promoted to you later! Now the President, Prime Minister and the General Secretary are in a trinity, and will never sit idly by and watch!"
While speaking, he asked someone to find a newspaper, which was published on it by the new President Feng Li.
It turned out that as soon as the new President Feng Li arrived in Peking, he said to people: "From then on, the government and the courtyard will be integrated, and the inside and the outside will be united!" He held Prime Minister Duan Tiemin's hand tightly and said, "There will never be a dispute between us in the future!"
The next day, he called Duan Tiemin and Chief of Staff Duan Shizhen and said kindly: "Shizhen also asks to serve as Chief of Staff. The three of us don't care about the president, the prime minister, and the chief of the general, and do not distinguish between direct and Hubei departments, but only seek to work together."
It was rumored to be a good story for a while, and a reporter immediately posted the news in the newspaper.
As soon as we saw this news, everyone became even more excited. Northern soldiers have always had the tradition of hostility to the south. Now they are integrated directly and Hubei, so how can they sit down and watch Hubei fall into Hunan? They are naturally trying their best to help. As long as they stand for a few days, they can be transferred to reinforcements. Moreover, Liu Jingxiao has captured a lot of strength.
Before leaving, Wang Zichun announced that all personnel establishment of the Hubei First Division was left to Liu Jingxiao, which means that Liu Jingxiao would organize several brigades and regiments, and that he would make the appointment of the regiment commander and brigade commander alone.
Ding Chong stayed, and he waved his hand to signal everyone to go out. Ding Ning carried Ding Jing out. The officers also knew that Ding Chong must have something important to discuss with Liu Jingxiao, and they all withdrew with great tact, and even Wanyan Yuzhuo retreated.
After leaving everyone out, Ding Chong laughed loudly, and he said, "Jingxiao, it's better to catch up early than to get there. It's just the right time you came!"
Liu Jingxiao asked very politely: "Zhongshuai, how do you say this?"
Ding Chong-smile said, "If you are late for a week, Zichun and I can only resign on the phone together! Don't worry, Hanyang Arsenal has new arms, so I guarantee that all your troops will be replaced!"
Liu Jingxiao seemed to have thought of something, but she didn't show it on her face. He asked, "No, there are two divisions and one brigade in Hubei. Although the force is not as strong as the Hunan Army, it is still not a problem to guard it for a month..."
Ding Chong laughed to the sky, and he said happily: "Jingxiao, do you know that from Yanglou Department to Yichang, there are almost no soldiers and soldiers stationed in Yanglou Department. Even the only tiny force left in Wuhan City... Now after handing all these troops to you, Zichun has only one guard battalion left in his hand..."
Liu Jingxiao was shocked. He suddenly stood up and asked in a rude way: "How is this possible?"
The original five divisions in Hubei were divided into two divisions and one brigade in Wang Zichun's hands. However, one division was calculated based on 10,000 people, one brigade was calculated based on 5,000, and the other fragmented forces were totally around 30,000.
Ding Chong could only smile bitterly, and he said, "The Hunan Army is really good at picking the times... but it just sent troops at this time!"
Then he said something.
