    Li Guoyao had to leave after only three days in Wuhan. It was not that Li Guoyao was anxious to return to the front line, but because the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs requested it.

    In fact, on the afternoon of the meeting with Miss Kong Er, Wang Shihe, an important confidant of the Chairman, found Li Guoyao and stated that the Miss Kong family did not like him. Although the committee wanted to bring them together, forceful melons were not sweet, so  This matter is dropped.

    In addition, Wang Shihe also informed Li Guoyao that in view of the heavy losses of their 7th Division this time, especially in terms of heavy weapons, the Military Commission decided to allocate a mountain artillery battalion to them.  The personnel and equipment are ready and can be taken away when he returns to the front line.

    Li Guoyao knew that this was "compensation" for him, so he was not polite and refused to give up what was given for free.

    Of course, since the battle on the front line was not very urgent, and the little Japanese had been badly beaten, Li Guoyao did not plan to return to the front line so soon.

    The main reason is that it is easy for me and Yun Lisa to meet each other, and I want to take this opportunity to stay for a few days.

    However, what Li Guoyao did not expect was that just one day later, the Military Commission ordered him to take people back to Quanjiao immediately because the situation on the front line had changed.

    Military orders are like mountains. No matter how reluctant Li Guoyao is to say goodbye to Yun Lisa, he must set off at the moment when the order is issued.

    And Lisa Yun also understood Li Guoyao. After a night of lingering to the death, Li Guoyao took Zhang Shaolin and others to the munitions department to collect the artillery battalion and left Wuhan.

    Regarding the artillery battalion transferred to the 7th Temporary Division by the Military Commission, Li Guoyao was very happy at first, but after he received the weapons, equipment and personnel, his mood became bad.

    On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Army adjusted its troops. Since it stabilized the Yangtze River Basin and implemented a legal currency policy with the support of Britain and the United States, it established a certain economic foundation. Therefore, under the guidance of German consultants, Chiang purchased a large number of  New weapons, and in 1936, the Army Organization Department was established in China to be responsible for anti-Japanese preparations.

    In the division adjustment plan drawn up by Chen Cheng, each infantry division is directly under the jurisdiction of a field artillery regiment. Together with the equipment of the two infantry brigades, there are a total of 24 infantry guns, 24 mortars, and 36 field artillery.

    "However, due to the limited domestic artillery production and the country's limited foreign exchange, the plan to import artillery was not completed as expected.

    But even so, in March 1935, the Wuchang camp still established an artillery organization office, which was responsible for organizing artillery.  At this time, the national army had a total of 457 artillery pieces, which were organized according to the type of artillery and supplemented with equipment and horses.  By revising the organization and standardizing artillery types, the old and weak were eliminated.

    In addition, in addition to adjusting the existing artillery force, the Nationalist Government also organized the 17th Independent Artillery Regiment, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Mountain Artillery Battalions, and the 4th, 5th, and 6th Field Artillery Battalions.

    Li Guoyao originally thought that what he was given this time would be one of these new mountain artillery battalions, but when he received the personnel and equipment, he was completely confused. What a bullshit mountain artillery battalion. The so-called mountain artillery battalion only has 4 legal soldiers.  Ned 75mm mountain cannon and 6 small-caliber mortars.

    Damn it, it can only be regarded as a reinforced artillery battery at best, far from a reorganized artillery battalion.

    The only thing that makes Li Guoyao somewhat gratified is that the soldiers of this mountain artillery battalion are quite complete, from the battalion commander to the gunners and observers. Especially after looking at the names and resumes of these artillerymen, he found that these artillerymen are all veterans.  .

    After asking Li Guoyao, I learned that it was not long ago that the Military Commission had made adjustments to the artillery in each theater.  First, 24 fifteen-centimeter howitzers purchased from Germany were organized into a mechanized heavy artillery regiment, designated as the 10th Artillery Regiment.  All movement, command, and observation are towed by automobiles, making it the latest artillery unit in the National Revolutionary Army.

    At the same time, the artillery regiment of the 32nd Division was separated and reorganized into the 9th Independent Artillery Regiment, with one field artillery and one heavy force battalion under its jurisdiction.  Soon, the field artillery battalion was placed under the divisional artillery, and the heavy forced battalion and the independent heavy forced first, second and third battalions were combined into an independent infantry artillery regiment.

    ??The 28 French Snyder-style 75mm mountain guns belonging to Guangdong Province were reorganized into the 9th Artillery Regiment, and all the weapons, equipment and personnel of some artillery units were transferred to Wuhan for reorganization.

    And all the officers and soldiers of this mountain artillery battalion under Li Guoyao were originally affiliated with the Guangdong Army and were transferred to Wuhan not long ago.

    "It's just that when these artillery troops were transferred to Wuhan, their weapons and equipment were transferred away by the Central Army, and they were told that they would be converted into infantry, and that they would be used as the basis to supplement some recruits to form a new corps.

    But just as they were preparing to report to the ninth theater, they suddenly received another call from the top.They were ordered to go to the logistics department to receive equipment, so a "brand new" mountain artillery battalion was born.

    After learning the cause of the matter, Li Guoyao could only let out a long sigh. What else could he say about this? It was obvious that the superiors felt that Miss Kong had refuted his face, and were planning to use a mountain artillery battalion to compensate him, but now everywhere  In a war, not to mention heavy weapons like mountain artillery, even mortars are very nervous, so I can only temporarily build a reduced version of the mountain artillery battalion for myself.

    To put it bluntly, Chiang Kai-shek just wanted to give himself a step down. He really didn¡¯t care whether the Mountain Artillery Camp or not was not a mountain artillery camp.

    But for Li Guoyao, it doesn't matter what kind of equipment he has or not. Anyway, they have captured a lot of mountain artillery and field artillery in these battles, but the 7th Division lacks professional artillery.

    Previously, the artillery was commanded by Ni Zhiliang, and later by Yang Le. However, neither of these two people were artillery commanders with regular Banco background. They could only be said to be able to make artillery, and that's all.

    But this time, the artillery battalion transferred to the 7th Division has more than 300 real artillerymen. The battalion commander Zhu Jiansheng, the battalion deputy Zhang Weihua and the company platoon leaders are all from regular classes.

    ¡°And these officers and soldiers are all veterans who have served in the artillery force for more than three years. Therefore, in Li Guoyao¡¯s view, these soldiers are more valuable than those equipment.

    Especially when Li Guoyao saw the pain in the face of the munitions director when the soldiers received equipment, he immediately made a deal with the munitions director - exchanging equipment for soldiers.

    Simply put, he doesn¡¯t want all the equipment of the mountain artillery battalion given to him by the Military Commission. He only needs the logistics department to give him another 200 artillerymen.

    The main reason for doing this was that Li Guoyao really disliked the mountain cannons prepared for him by the Military Commission. They were all antiques from more than ten years ago. Not only were they weak in power, but it was difficult to replenish the ammunition. To put it bluntly, they were useless.  .

    ¡°And these cannons are so heavy that it¡¯s a bit troublesome to get them back to the front line.

    In addition, the Seventh Division does lack artillery, so replacing these junk with a group of qualified artillery is a very cost-effective thing in Li Guoyao's opinion.

    Hearing about this good thing, the director of the munitions department immediately agreed. Four mountain guns and six mortars were exchanged for 200 men. This was a good deal.

    So the two sides happily reached a consensus. Li Guoyao did not bring any weapons and equipment, but he left Wuhan with more than 500 artillerymen.

    "However, with these more than 500 people, Li Guoyao's return was much slower.

    When they came, they all traveled by car, but when they went back, there were obviously not enough vehicles, so they had to take turns.

    However, in view of the urging of three telegrams a day from the commander of the Third War Zone, Li Guoyao could only ask the artillery battalion commander Zhu Jiansheng and battalion deputy Zhang Weihua to advance on foot, while he led three vehicles and more than a hundred guard members.  Starry night rushed to Hefei.

    ¡°What Li Guoyao didn¡¯t know was that at the same time he returned to the front line, a conspiracy against him quietly began.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
