On June 9th, the Military Commission finally released a list of rewards and promotions for the great victory of Northeast Anhui. At this time, the Military Commission was surprisingly generous. Everyone had medals, division commanders, and brigade commanders who participated in the war had medals, and none of them were dragged down.

Cheng Jiaji and Commander Zhang of the 59th Army won the first prize this time and were both promoted. Cheng Jiaji was promoted to the commander of the Independent 100th Division expanded by the Independent 100th Brigade, while Commander Zhang was appointed commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army. These two were also awarded the first-class Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, but medals of this level were to be issued by the commissioner themselves, and they are temporarily a blank check.

The Independent 100 Division will have two brigades and four regiments under the 100 Independent brigade and the 183rd Brigade. It will be supplemented with heavy weapons by the Military Commission according to the standards of the Type B sorting division, and a large number of weapons and equipment will be issued in the near future.

The Military Commission allowed all the original equipment of the Independent 100 Brigade to be retained, and the corresponding light equipment of the Military Commission was only given and supplemented, while the heavy equipment was issued by the Central Committee according to the organization. This is because there were not many German-made 98K rifles and Central Official Rifles in the warehouses, and the Military Commission was really reluctant to take out thousands of high-quality rifles to the Independent 100 Division at once.

The equipment issued by the Military Commission plus the capital of the Independent 100 Brigade. Cheng Jiaji is expected to be completed after the reorganization. The Independent 100 Division will have three battalions and another company under the jurisdiction of a artillery regiment. One of the three battalions is the mountain artillery battalion equipped with twelve 75mm mountain artillery guns of the Military Commission. The other is the field artillery battalion with seven miscellaneous mountain artillery guns of the Independent 100 Brigade.

The last battalion was the war defense artillery battalion. One company was equipped with four Austrian 47mm war defense artillery, and the other company was equipped with four German 37mm war defense artillery in the Independent 100 Brigade. There was also an artillery company equipped with four daily 70mm infantry artillery.

The division's direct team includes one guard battalion, engineer battalion, special battalion, communication battalion, cavalry battalion, and two field hospitals.

The brigade's direct troops are mortar companies (six 120 mm mortars), guard companies, engineer companies, spy companies, communication companies, health teams, and cavalry companies.

Each regiment has six 81mm mortars, eight heavy machine guns in the battalion, two grenade launchers in each company, and two sixty mortars in each squad, and one light machine gun in each squad.

It is estimated that the full staff of the entire division will be about 13,000.

This equipment actually exceeded the standard of a normal B-type finishing division. Even if the Japanese army did not take up much advantage compared to the situation where the Japanese planes were not dispatched. If it weren't for the fact that the Independent One Hundred Brigade had a strong foundation, Cheng Jiaji had always had the good habit of buying big smoke and weapons, and he would not be able to make up such a light and heavy weapon, no matter how he said he could not make up such a light and heavy weapon.

The Military Commission has made such a large amount of capital and "good intentions". Lieutenant General Huang revealed to Cheng Jiaji that the Military Commission has established an army of the Independent 100 Division, the Independent 112 Brigade and the Independent 133 Brigade of the Central Army, with Lieutenant General Huang as the commander. The army will be reorganized within one or two months and enter the Dabie Mountains to fight.

Cheng Jiaji and Qian Shen discussed this matter several times. Then the two decided to expand the troops first. Even if they were incorporated into the army that Lieutenant General Huang said that they would be established, the Central Army would not be able to eat the Independent 100 Division for a while. (Lieutenant General Huang did not have the talent for conspiracy.) If they really could not withstand the Central Army's encroachment, they would drag the troops to the First War Zone to find Xia Weimin. They would not be punished too much by relying on Xia Weimin's friendship with the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone. Besides, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone would not easily allow the Independent 100 Division to be placed out of the Military Commission's direct troops. Anyway, the order mentioned by Lieutenant General Huang had not issued a clear order yet, so it is urgent to make up for the posts of the Independent 100 Division first.

The original Independent 100 Brigade included the wounded soldiers who could recover, and the total number of people was less than 8,000. If it was to expand into a division of 13,000, recruiting soldiers would become a top priority. Cheng Jiaji would not dare to go to Xiaoxian to recruit people again. If half of the Xiaoxian troops in the Independent 100 Division were like, he would not dare to think about what it would be like.

Just as Cheng Jiaji was busy receiving equipment and recruiting new recruits, he received a notice to go to Wuhan with Commander-in-Chief Zhang to receive the award.

On June 13th, the day after the Lanfeng Battle ended, Cheng Jiaji and Commander-in-Chief Zhang and their respective entourages boarded the plane to Wuhan. In order to avoid the Japanese air-duty fighter jets shooting down the planes they were riding on, the Military Commission also sent four fighter jets to escort the special planes they were riding on.

Cheng Jiaji knew in his heart that the reason why the Military Commission was willing to draw out the treasure Air Force to escort this flight was probably more to prevent the people of Wuhan and celebrities from all walks of life from waiting for a fight! If he and Commander-in-Chief Zhang shot down the Japanese fighter jets in the air at this time, the face of the government would not be able to be kept.

On the plane, Cheng Jiaji, Commander-in-Chief Zhang and others unconsciously mentioned the conversation about the Lanfeng Battle just ended. It was normal. The two generals gathered together during the war and there was no need to talk about the war.

The Lanfeng Battle, which was defeated in Cheng Jiaji's original time and space, was greatly changed because the butterfly effect produced by Cheng Jiaji after he arrived in this time and space.

Originally, in the original time and space of Cheng Jiaji, about 20,000 Japanese 14th Division would have been trapped in a siege by the 150,000 Chinese troops. If the 16th Division had not rushed over from near Xuzhou and defeated the Chinese army's blockade and rescued the 14th Division. The 14th Division's own strength alone would have been impossible to escape the net of heaven and earth laid by the Chinese army with absolute advantage in military strength.

In this time and space, things are completely different because of Cheng Jiaji's arrival and the existence of the Independent One Hundred Travels.

A brigade of the 16th Division was first blocked near the Xiaoban River and could not move, but finally the Chinese army that came to hear the news was completely wiped out.

This caused the 16th Division of the Japanese Army to greatly reduce its military strength, and the few days it took to rescue the 30th Brigade. The above reasons combined together led to the rescue of the 14th Division when most of the 16th Division went to Lanfeng to rescue the 14th Division. The 14th Division of Dohihara was already beaten by the Chinese army to seven tuberculosis and five injuries and dying. The 16th Division of the Japanese Army was also unable to quickly tear open the defense line of the Chinese army due to insufficient military service.

In this way, the battle naturally entered a stalemate. The Japanese and a half divisions and 150,000 Chinese troops were strangled together in the Lanfeng area. The two armies fought in the darkness, and it is said that the tragic level on the battlefield was no less than that of Taierzhuang.

On June 10, the 16th Division of the Japanese army finally found a weak link on the defense line of the Chinese army. After a bloody battle, it took a few efforts to get out the remaining 8,000 people of the 14th Division. After the two Japanese troops combined into one, they fled in panic, while the Chinese army rose up and chased and annihilated the Japanese army. (The national army was still very brave when they fell into the water.) By the 12th, the remaining 13,000 people of the two Japanese divisions escaped from the battlefield with the support of the 13th Division and the 5th Division.

Wuhan claimed that it would annihilate about 20,000 Japanese troops in this battle, and the Chinese army suffered 34,000 casualties.

Unlike Commander-in-Chief Zhang, what Cheng Jiaji likes most is not how many Japanese troops were annihilated. Instead, when the Chinese army defeated the Japanese army, the Military Commission would not have thought that the move of using water instead of soldiers would not have been blown up, and there would be a missing disaster on the land of Zhongzhou. This incident made Cheng Jiaji feel very comforted. He felt that no matter what his future would be, at least he would have saved millions of lives indirectly.

Commander-in-Chief Zhang knew this. What he was concerned about was the military gains and losses of the Chinese and Japanese armies in this battle and why the Japanese army showed their combat effectiveness was not as strong as before. Commander-in-Chief Zhang also made a lot of analysis on all this, and the Japanese army was likely to retract a section of the front line, and the Chinese army would only seize the opportunity to recover some lost ground.

Cheng Jiaji knew in his heart that although the Japanese army was frequently frustrated on several battlefields, the Japanese army was still on the offensive in the general trend, and it was unlikely to retreat. The Japanese war potential, especially the manpower that can be used directly for combat, has not been used all, and the Chinese army could only take the main defensive for a period of time in the war. Although Cheng Jiaji made the above judgment on the situation because of his familiarity with history, he still admired Commander-in-Chief Zhang's courage. In this era, a Chinese general who could think of actively attacking the Japanese army was already a very amazing general. After all, the huge gap in national strength and military strength between the two countries was clearly there, and no one would deny this.

(In history, the Chinese army launched a large-scale counterattack in 1939, but failed because it was estimated that the situation was too optimistic.)

Although the two had differences in the current situation, the Japanese offensive would slow down within a certain period of time. They all believed that in the same way, the preparation time for the Chinese army to defend Wuhan would be more sufficient. In addition to Qian Shen, the other members of the two also joined the discussion. For a moment, the small cabin seemed to be held in the military lecture. It was so lively that the talk was very lively and the plane had already landed at Wangjiadun Airport.

It only takes two or three hours to take the plane from Xuchang to Wuhan. Everyone on the plane was having a happy conversation, and it was easier for the time to pass.

As soon as he approached the hatch, Cheng Jiaji was so scared that he almost took back one of his foot that had already stepped out.
