Chapter 204 Gathering the Defeated German-Equipped Divisions, Anticipating the Bloody Battle of Taie
After obtaining the firsthand explosive news and photos, the group of foreign journalists were as excited as if they had been injected with stimulants. They happily rushed back overnight with their "big news" to publish their reports.
While directing the various units to move in an orderly manner toward Jiangpu County, Lin Feng summoned Zhao Yushu to the temporary command post to inquire about the progress of gathering the defeated soldiers who had crossed the river from Nanjing.
"Cousin, in the past half day, we have gathered nearly five thousand defeated soldiers along the riverbank."
Zhao Yushu flipped through the roster in his hand and excitedly reported to the director:
"They come from all the different units, and the organization is completely messed up. I've followed your instructions to gather them together and provide them with food and water."
"Well done."
Lin Feng nodded, his fingers tapping lightly on the table as he pondered:
"Yu Shu, you keep a close eye on him."
Among these defeated soldiers, the most valuable were those from the 36th, 87th, and 88th Divisions.
These three divisions are no ordinary ones.
Before the war, with the help of military advisors from the Hans, the Central Army developed a plan to reorganize the National Defense Adjustment Division, aiming to establish 60 regular infantry divisions.
They are divided into main adjusters and slightly weaker organizers.
The Adjustment Division is organized according to Hans standards and equipped with imported or copied Hans weapons, serving as the main force of the national defense forces.
It consists of 2 brigades and 4 regiments, with a strength of approximately 1.1 to 1.2 personnel.
The division's directly subordinate units include one artillery battalion, one anti-aircraft artillery battalion, one anti-tank artillery company, and one battalion each of engineers, communications, and supplies.
The organizers, on the other hand, adopted lower standards and served as reserve and local garrison troops.
The 36th, 87th, and 88th divisions were the first reorganized divisions in the entire army. Because they adopted imported German heavy weapons and wore imported M35 steel helmets, they were named German-equipped divisions. In fact, their official name has always been reorganized divisions.
In short, these three divisions received the most formal training in the Han Chinese infantry manual, and the soldiers were of extremely high quality. They were the real treasures and imperial guards of the Nationalist government.
In the original timeline, these three German-equipped divisions were wiped out during the Battle of Nanjing.
This is the second north-south railway trunk line in Daxia after the Beijing-Hankou Railway.
It connects North China and East China, and in Pengcheng, a major city in the Central Plains, it intersects with the east-west Longhai Railway, forming a huge cross-shaped hub.
Its strategic importance is self-evident.
When the Japanese invaded Great Xia, due to their limited mechanization, they relied heavily on railways to quickly deploy troops and transport massive amounts of logistical supplies across the vast territory of Great Xia.
The Jinpu Railway, the Beijing-Hankou Railway, and the Longhai Railway—these three major steel arteries connecting the east, west, north, and south of the Great Xia—were crucial battlegrounds fought over by both sides.
"Plop—"
Lin Feng picked up the large, rough porcelain bowl and drank the warm wild vegetable and egg soup in one gulp.
He wiped his mouth, picked up a red and blue pencil, and his eyes wandered over the map.
Finally, the red pen tip landed heavily on Pengcheng, the center of the railway intersection on the map.
"Pengcheng..."
Lin Feng muttered to himself.
As a time traveler, he was well aware of the course of history.
Next, there were only three months left until the Battle of Pengcheng, which shocked the world.
That was the largest strategic battle in terms of troop deployment and scale between the two sides in the early stages of the War of Resistance against Japan.
He must seize these precious three months, utilize the system and the gathered defeated soldiers to frantically increase his troops and prepare for war.
Then, Lin Feng moved the red and blue pencils in his hand downwards and pointed to the location of Jiangpu County.
Now that Nanjing has fallen, Pukou Station, which originally belonged to Nanjing, naturally needs to be transferred to the jurisdiction of Jiangpu County to the north.
"In that case, we should prepare for the entire army to move into Jiangpu County."
Lin Feng drew a circle around Jiangpu County:
"Relying on the advantageous terrain of Jiangpu, we deployed defensive positions along the river to completely block the Japanese troops' route northward from Pukou."
Lin Feng put down his pencil, let out a long sigh of relief, and leaned back in his chair.
It started with the Battle of Shanghai in August.
From the Songjiang Prefecture blocking battle, the Shanghai urban defense battle, the bloody battle of Jiangyin Fortress, to the recent annihilation of the Guoqi Detachment at Huangtian Port.
For months, he led his troops in a high-intensity battle, like walking a tightrope, surrounded by the Japanese army, keeping his nerves on edge.
Now, across the Yangtze River, I watch the flames soaring into the sky on the other side.
He finally had a chance to catch his breath and properly digest the tremendous achievements of the past few months.
However, before Lin Feng could upgrade his troops again with the help of the system, the people from the Fifth War Zone Command arrived.
Accompanying him was an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time...
