    After the reorganization of the army was completed, Li Guoyao summoned Xu Hu and others for a small meeting overnight and ordered Xu Hu to be temporarily responsible for the work of the 61st Army, mainly the training of the army and the recruitment of new soldiers during this period, while he was  The main focus should be on the air defense forces.

    The Battle of Wuhan has not yet started in full force, and both the Japs and the Nationalist Government are in the preparation stage, so it is impossible for ground troops like the 61st Army to be transferred to the front line for the time being, so this is a good time for them to rest and recuperate.

    But rest and recuperation does not mean rest. The troops must still have the training they should have and must not relax.

    Secondly, the 61st Army currently has a serious shortage. The approved quota of 25,000 people is only 16,000 people, and the shortage exceeds 9,000 people.

    And the air defense regiment is about to follow Li Guoyao and be transferred from the 61st Army to participate in the Wuhan air defense operation, so its strength has plummeted.

    Therefore, Li Guoyao ordered Xu Hu to set up recruitment stations on the streets of Wuhan in the name of Wuhan Garrison Headquarters and the 61st Army, and openly recruit soldiers from Wuhan citizens.

    At the same time, Li Guoyao, as the deputy commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command, sent patrol teams to the streets to arrest the defeated soldiers who had fled back to Wuhan City, the gangsters in the city, and all the homeless people. All those with qualified physical fitness were incorporated into the army.  force.

    In short, Li Guoyao must seize the time to restore the strength of the army.

    Early the next morning, Li Guoyao took Zhang Shaolin to the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters again, found Luo Zhuoying, reported on the reorganization of the troops last night, and then asked for money and equipment.

    Luo Zhuoying¡¯s approval for this was that if he had money, he could make the decision to allocate 300,000 yuan to the air defense force as funds. From now on, the army¡¯s funds would be received on a monthly basis.

    But there are really no weapons and equipment, and they can only provide some help in terms of ammunition.

    Knowing that Luo Zhuoying really did not have heavy equipment for air defense, Li Guoyao then went to the Military and Political Department and the Logistics Department. In the end, he just wanted to have a meeting to deal with the scraps.

    " Later, Li Guoyao personally called Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Anyway, Li Guoyao's meaning was very clear. The troops are short of equipment, and you can do whatever you want.

    Chairman Chiang was really annoyed by the Japs¡¯ planes during this period. After hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s report, he immediately said that there was indeed no weapons and equipment, but the government could pay for it and Li Guoyao would purchase the equipment himself.

    In fact, the reason why Chiang Kai-shek put Li Guoyao in the position of deputy commander of the Garrison Command was mainly because of his channels and relationships.

    It is no longer a secret that Li Guoyao's unit is equipped with a very advanced anti-aircraft machine gun. Although Li Guoyao did order people to strictly keep the secret before, Li Guoyao's unit suffered heavy losses after several major battles, and the troop movements were also very frequent.  It's getting more and more complicated. How can it be concealed from the all-pervasive military control department's investigation?

    Knowing that Li Guoyao had secret channels for purchasing equipment, and that he was very conscientious, made him the deputy commander, and there was no need to worry about his inability to contribute.

    Of course, as the leader of a country, Chiang Kai-shek would not let Li Guoyao pay for it in vain, so he made it very clear that you buy the weapons, but I pay for them.

    Li Guoyao has nothing to resist about this. Anyway, what he is doing now is just a gesture. Even if Chiang Kai-shek really has nothing to lose, he will provide the weapons and equipment for these four regiments. As for the money, it is really a surprise.

    After some bargaining, Chiang Kai-shek finally agreed to spend 1.2 million yuan to purchase equipment to arm those air defense regiments, and said that after the battle, one of the six air defense regiments could be left for Li Guoyao.

    Li Guoyao made some calculations and found that if he wanted to arm all four air defense regiments, he would need at least 34 anti-aircraft guns, 48 ??20mm machine guns and 110 anti-aircraft machine guns.

    If all these weapons and equipment are redeemed, it will cost at least 10,000 points, which is equivalent to letting Lao Jiang spend 1.2 million oceans to buy his 10,000 points. This transaction is not a loss.

    What's more, the previous air defense regiments mainly relied on light and heavy machine guns to fight Japanese aircraft. Now these equipment have all been eliminated. There are more than 60 heavy machine guns alone, and as many as 220 light machine guns.  , which is also a considerable fortune.

    With the support of Chairman Chiang, Li Guoyao did not hesitate. He went to the Ministry of Finance to collect the 1.2 million ocean that afternoon, then secretly loaded it into a truck and transported it to Wuhan Ferry, and then shipped it to Chongqing.

    This time Li Guoyao also put on makeup and got on the boat, pretending to be buying weapons in person.

    ¡°Two days later, two cargo ships arrived at the Wuhan pier, all loaded with new weapons and equipment.

    After the ship docked, there were already many people waiting at the pier.At that time, officers and soldiers from several air defense regiments boarded the ship one after another, then unloaded the weapons and equipment and transported them back to the station.

    Wuchang Barracks. Grand Campus.

    After all the equipment was transported back to Wuhan, Li Guoyao immediately held a grand new equipment installation ceremony at the university grounds. In addition to the participation of all the six newly formed air defense regiments, all the air defense regiments affiliated with the 61st Army also came.  .

    After all the weapons and equipment were distributed to the troops, Li Guoyao issued a new set of forest camouflage combat training uniforms to all soldiers, unifying all the attire.

    Then, Li Guoyao announced in front of everyone that the Wuhan Prevention and Control Headquarters in the city will be located in a three-story building behind the Aviation Commission Building, which will also facilitate command.

    The commander-in-chief of the prevention and control headquarters is naturally Li Guoyao, and there are two deputy commanders-in-chief. One is Huang Shang, the chief steward in charge of the logistics of the 61st Army, and the other is Xie Wenhua, a major general in the Wuhan Garrison Command.

    After several days of hard work, Li Guoyao finally established the air defense headquarters. The entire command has seven air defense regiments with a total strength of more than 17,000 regular troops, as well as a small number of auxiliary troops.

    It took him a few days to get familiar with the new equipment. At the same time, Li Guoyao also used these days to visit all areas of Wuhan City and understand all the key units, buildings and commanding heights of Wuhan City. Then Li Guoyao immediately informed the prevention and control command  All officers of the department went to the headquarters for a meeting at 8 a.m. on June 19.

    On the day of the meeting, Li Guoyao first clarified the future combat goals of the prevention and control headquarters, which is to protect the sky of Wuhan. The enemy is the Japanese aviation force.

    Li Guoyao then re-assigned air defense positions to each regiment. These air defense positions were determined by Li Guoyao based on the tactical experience of later generations. Among them, two regiments were placed in Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang, leaving one regiment as a mobile force.

    At the same time, Li Guoyao formulated a battle plan to invite the emperor into the urn, and then discussed it with various officers at the meeting. In the end, everyone felt that the plan was good, and Li Guoyao implemented it.

    However, this plan required the cooperation of the Air Force, so after the meeting, Li Guoyao drove to the Aviation Commission in person, and then reported his plan to Zhou Zhirou, seeking his help.

    Zhou Zhirou has heard about what Li Guoyao has done in Wuhan City these days. Although Li Guoyao has tried to be cautious, he still can't hide it from the real senior officials. After all, it is very simple for them to get any information they want.

    Although Zhou Zhirou didn't know how Li Guoyao obtained so many anti-aircraft weapons, Zhou Zhirou admired him very much for being able to pull out such a fully equipped anti-aircraft force in less than a week.  .

    Therefore, after learning about Li Guoyao's intention, Zhou Zhirou did not dare to neglect, and immediately picked up Li Guoyao's battle plan and read it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
