    After a war, what both sides usually want to do is not to continue to cause trouble for each other, but to restore their combat effectiveness.

    This is like two wild beasts. After the fight, the purpose is not to seek revenge on the other party, but to heal the injury first, and find a place for it later.

    After the battle ended on June 3, as the Japanese troops retreated, a fifty- to sixty-kilometer-wide buffer zone was formed between the two sides. The Huaibei Plain, which had been filled with gunfire for several months, finally became quiet.

    During the following period, both the Japanese army and the Chinese army were resting and recuperating.

    Li Guoyao¡¯s headquarters also used this time to reorganize the troops. Since the troops were expanded from one division and one brigade to two divisions, adjustments were needed in terms of officer appointments and other aspects.

    In addition, there was a serious shortage of soldiers in each unit, so the previous large establishment could not be maintained, so Li Guoyao decided to assign the 15th Independent Brigade of the 7th Temporary Division to the combat sequence of the new 100th Division.

    Secondly, the number of three regiments in each brigade will be reduced to two, but the shelf of three regiments will be retained.

    In other words, after the reorganization, each of the four brigades of the 61st Army actually has only two regiments of soldiers, but it has the framework of three regiments. The extra regiment only has the regiment headquarters and some officers, but no soldiers.  .

    In addition, Li Guoyao also abolished the troops directly under the 7th Temporary Division, and all the troops directly under it were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Headquarters.

    Originally, Li Guoyao thought that the 61st Army could rest on the Guide line for a month or two after the end of the war. However, as soon as the army was reorganized, he received an order from the Military Commission to transfer the 61st Army to immediately go south to Wuhan and integrate it into the combat sequence of the Ninth Theater.  Served as the air defense combat force of Wuhan City Garrison Headquarters.

    After receiving the order, Li Guoyao did not neglect, and immediately ordered all the lightly and seriously injured soldiers in Guide City to be transported to Zhengzhou by train, and a 61st Army Stay Office was built in Zhengzhou to take care of soldiers who were too injured and unable to march with the army.  , followed by gathering the previously dispersed soldiers of the original 61st Army and the Eighth Army.

    After doing this, Li Guoyao took the main force of the two divisions and took the train south to Wuhan via Zhengzhou.

    On June 15, after two days and two nights of train travel, the 61st Army finally arrived in Wuhan.

    At the Wuhan Railway Station, Li Guoyao saw the officials from the Military Commission who came to greet them. Surprisingly, they also included many national army bosses, including Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, Hu Lian, Li Jilan, Li Shusen, Liu Jiming, Xia Chuzhong,  Ye Peigao and others, and even He Yingqin, the military commander and minister who had always been at odds with Li Guoyao, arrived.

    The specifications are so high, beyond imagination!

    ¡°And there was a huge crowd outside Wuhan Railway Station, with ordinary people everywhere coming to watch this legendary heroic unit.

    Of course, all this was deliberately arranged by the Military Commission. Now that the Battle of Wuhan is imminent, they also want to use this method to stimulate the enthusiasm of the Chinese military and civilians for the War of Resistance. Heroic troops without great military exploits have such appeal.

    In fact, the Military Commission has done a lot of activities like this during this period. For example, a few days ago, they welcomed Xue Yue's troops southward in the same way. At that time, Chairman Chiang personally went to the train station to welcome General Xue's triumphant return.  The whole city of Wuhan was boiling.

    But it was really the first time that a large group of national army bosses came to the train station to greet a small lieutenant general, and this army was still a miscellaneous army bearing the brand of the Northeast Army and using the designation of the Shanxi-Sui Army.

    So when I got out of the car and saw the battle, even Li Guoyao himself was shocked!

    After seeing so many bosses, Li Guoyao immediately ordered all troops to get out of the car immediately, and the officers immediately formed the team.

    After waiting for the troops to line up according to their respective numbers, Li Guoyao quickly walked towards Chen Cheng and others with Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai and other senior officers.

    After arriving in front of these national army bosses, at Li Guoyao's signal, Xu Hu and others followed Li Guoyao and saluted Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and others with a military salute.

    When he received the call, Li Guoyao said loudly: "Li Guoyao, Commander of the 61st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, salutes you, sir!"

    As the highest-ranking boss among these people, He Yingqin immediately returned a military salute to Li Guoyao, and then said: "On behalf of the Military Commission, I welcome Commander Li's arrival. I have already learned about Commander Li's name from the committee members, and it turned out to be true when I saw him today.  A well-deserved reputation as a young hero and a role model for the country.¡±

    "Minister He made such a ridiculous compliment, Guoyao is too ashamed to deserve it!"

    Then Li Guoyao said: "Sir, where are our troops stationed?"

    Bai Chongxi immediately said: "Commander Li, your unit will be stationed at Wuchang East Camp for the time being. We will deploy it after your unit has received the combat mission!"    "yes!"

    By this time, the troops had all formed up, and then strode out of the train station in accordance with the officer's order. Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi and others were secretly surprised.

    Everyone knew that Li Guoyao's unit had a brilliant record and must be an elite force that has fought in hundreds of battles, but when they actually saw this unit, everyone was still surprised.

    I saw this so-called miscellaneous army on the platform standing like a loose ball, moving like a loose rabbit. When they formed the team, each one was like a javelin, not squinting, and no one was whispering, laughing and joking.

    When marching, they were uniform and uniform, without the lazy movements and character of other national troops. Even the German armorers carefully trained by the Nationalist Government in the past few years were far inferior.

    And every soldier is wearing a new camouflage uniform and a green military cap on his head. He looks mighty and majestic from a distance, far more imposing than the national army's standard uniform.

    There is also the weapons and equipment of this unit, good guys, they are all Sanba Gai, not even a single brand gun.

    You must know that although the national army in this era was equipped with the Mauser 1924 improved medium and formal rifles, due to production reasons, the medium and formal rifles were not widely used in other brand-name troops.

    The vast majority of the national army is still using the ones made in Hanyang, and there are even many people who are using the older old sleeve, that is, the early version of the Mauser 1888 rifle. At least a small number of direct descendants of the Central Army can use it officially.

    As for guns like the Sanba Gai, everyone is familiar with them. The Japanese army¡¯s standard equipment has been captured by the Chinese army in all previous battles.

    Because this kind of gun has good shooting accuracy, and the length of the gun is a bit longer than that of a medium-sized gun, it has an advantage when fighting with a bayonet. Therefore, it is very popular among front-line soldiers. Basically, after being captured, it will be incorporated into the army for use.

    But after all, it is the standard equipment of the Japanese army, so it is absolutely impossible for the Little Devil to sell it to the Chinese. Therefore, the only way to obtain the 38-meter Gai is to capture it in combat. Therefore, although all units of the national army have 38-meter Gai in service, the number is limited.  But very few.

    However, this unit in front of them overturned the common sense of the national army bosses. Among the more than 16,000 troops of the 61st Army, except for the artillery and cavalry, almost all the other troops had a 38-type.

    In addition, several train wagons on the right are unloading supplies onto the platform. It can be seen from the outer packaging that all the unloaded weapons and equipment are weapons and equipment. Soon the platform is filled with mountains of weapons and equipment.

    Especially the Japanese markings on the packaging of these weapons are extremely eye-catching, which also proves that the source of these weapons should be captured on the battlefield.

    Everyone was shocked. With so many weapons and equipment, how many Japanese soldiers had to be eliminated to seize so much loot.

    It is said that Li Guoyao's troops won a great victory. It seems that the Japanese did suffer a lot at the hands of the 61st Army. It seems that it makes sense for them to come to greet this young man in person.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
