Li Guoyao coughed, and then said: "Quiet, everyone, I can see that you all look down on the Eighth Route Army!"
Zhang Tengjiao immediately said: "Chief Commander, it's not that brothers look down on the Eighth Route Army, but we really don't think they are very strong! Think about it, it has been more than three years since the Anti-Japanese War broke out in the 26th year of the Republic of China. Apart from the Battle of Pingxingguan where the Anti-Japanese War started, what other achievements did the Eighth Route Army have?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Baojun also said: "Old Zhang is right. It's not like we haven't dealt with the Eighth Route Army. It's not like we don't know what kind of virtue they have. They search and search. Their weapons and equipment are not good, and their soldiers are not good enough." Their quality is not good, and their combat effectiveness is beyond description. How can we, brothers, expect them to come to our rescue?"
Li Guoyao smiled and said: "You are still too young. Do you really think that the Eighth Route Army is just like what you see, a beggar army?"
"Chief, what do you mean by this? Is the Eighth Route Army very strong?" Ma Desheng heard what Li Guoyao meant and asked immediately.
"More than just being strong, if we really compare, the Eighth Route Army is much stronger than us!" Li Guoyao said in astonishing words.
"How is it possible to be stronger than us?"
"Commander, are you mistaken? Can the Eighth Route Army be stronger than us?"
"impossible"
Everyone is full of doubts about Li Guoyao's words!
It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t believe Li Guoyao, but the news is really shocking!
They really don¡¯t know how strong the Eighth Route Army is, but these people here are all senior leaders of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, and they know the true strength of the army.
In addition to the temporary ninth army, the current troops include Wen Debiao's first column, Lu Wenlong's second column, Lu Zhanwu's third column, and Zhu Hong's Haizhou detachment, as well as Huang Dazi's headquarters in the Dabie Mountains.
In addition, everyone also knows that since the 26th year of the Republic of China, the General Administration has left a strong reserve force in central Anhui. Two and a half years later, that force may have developed into a behemoth.
Even excluding Jiang Feng¡¯s Jiangnan guerrillas, the total strength of the troops currently exceeds 60,000!
Troop strength is one thing, but what is more important is that the troops¡¯ weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness are beyond the average of the national army. Even compared with the Japanese army, they are not much different. This is also the confidence that Li Guoyao¡¯s troops dare to fight face to face with the Japanese army.
However, at this time, Li Guoyao actually told them that the Eighth Route Army, which had always only dared to carry out guerrilla attacks on Japanese transport convoys, was far stronger than them. No one would believe this.
Seeing that everyone did not believe it, Li Guoyao immediately said: "You all know the origin of the Eighth Route Army, so I won't say more. After reorganization, this peasant army led by the Yan'an side appeared as the regular army of the Eighth Route Army. It came into the operational sequence of the National Revolutionary Army, and when this unit was initially reorganized, it had three divisions and more than 45,000 troops directly under its command."
"Of course, this number is inaccurate. In fact, the total strength of the Eighth Route Army was more than 52,000 when it was reorganized by the National Government. Among the three divisions under the Eighth Route Army, Lin's 115th Division had 15,500 troops when it was reorganized, and He's 120th Division had 15,500 troops when it was reorganized. There were more than 14,000 people at the time of the reorganization, and Liu's 129th Division had more than 13,000 people at the time of the reorganization. However, at the same time, the "Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Remaining Corps" was also established, with six garrison regiments and a security force with a total of more than 7,000 people. Therefore, The initial strength of the Eighth Route Army was more than 52,000 troops."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Tengjiao say again: "General seat, there is not much difference between forty-five thousand and fifty-two thousand. Even if they have developed in recent years and killed 100,000 people, how can they be better than us? "
"One hundred thousand people? Haha, you underestimate the Eighth Route Army's development capabilities. To tell you the truth, the Eighth Route Army has grown to one hundred thousand people in less than half a year after it was reorganized!" Li Guoyao once again threw a depth bomb.
"Half a year, 100,000 people, how is this possible?"
"Yes, isn't this equivalent to doubling the total strength of the Eighth Route Army in half a year?"
"It can not be"
Li Guoyao immediately said: "Since August 1937, the Eighth Route Army has rushed to the anti-Japanese front line in batches. By the end of the year, it had basically established a firm foothold in Shanxi. At this time, the army had grown to more than 80,000 people, which is equivalent to doubling its strength. Counting the garrison troops left behind and the The total strength of the troops in the Jiangnan region has steadily exceeded 100,000!"
"Chief Commander, do you know how many troops the Eighth Route Army has now?" Ma Desheng asked immediately.
Li Guoyao hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Now, it is conservatively estimated to be at least 400,000 yuan. This does not include?The New Fourth Army in the Jiangnan area! "
"Fourfour hundred thousand"
Everyone was stunned by the number Li Guoyao said, four hundred thousand, how is this possible!
You must know that in their consciousness, a regiment of the Eighth Route Army only has more than a thousand people. How many regiments are there with 400,000 people? Four hundred?
The Eighth Route Army has four hundred regiments. This is impossible!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together. Thinking about it, the Nationalist Government currently only has more than 40 army groups. Is this possible?
Li Guoyao knew that people would find it difficult to believe what he said, but it was indeed true. From 1938 to the end of 1940, the Eighth Route Army was fully deployed behind enemy lines in North China and entered its first period of great development.
By the end of 1938, the total strength of the Eighth Route Army had grown to 156,700, and by the end of 1939, it had been about 270,000. By 1940, after reorganization, the main force had grown to nearly 400,000.
During this period, the main force of the Eighth Route Army also gradually established four major military regions, namely the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Shanxi-Hebei-Luyu Military Region, the Shandong Military Region and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region.
Also this year, the major military regions of the Eighth Route Army will coordinate operations and launch the "Hundred Regiment Campaign" to attack the Japanese army's communication lines. A total of 105 regiments of more than 200,000 troops will be dispatched.
After the Japanese invaders suffered a major blow, they began to "re-examine" the strength of the Eighth Route Army, clamoring for a "re-understanding" of the situation in North China, and mobilized heavy troops for counterattack. Therefore, starting from the beginning of 1941, the Eighth Route Army entered a very difficult stage.
"General, does the Eighth Route Army really have so many troops? How could they increase their strength tenfold in just three years?" Xu Hu asked.
Then Wang Zhanhai also spoke: "Compared to the question of how the Eighth Route Army grew to have so many people, I want to know more about how they feed so many troops. You have to know that we can barely feed so many people in total. The Eighth Route Army has so many people." There are more than 400,000 people, how can they get so much food and military pay!"
"I heard that the Eighth Route Army has no military pay and poor food. These can be solved, but they don't seem to control any big cities, and they don't have any big arsenals. Where can they get the weapons and equipment to fight against the Japs?" Huang Shangdao.
Hearing everyone talking about their doubts, Li Guoyao immediately raised his hand to stop their conversation and asked, and then said: "The questions will come one by one. Let me first talk about how the Eighth Route Army developed and grew. I specialize in this issue. Yes, and we are also imitating others!¡±
"We are learning from the Eighth Route Army, how is this possible?" Everyone looked confused again!
At this time Li Guoyao continued: "After the Eighth Route Army marched to North China, the 115th Division won the Pingxingguan ambush battle, the 120th Division won the Yanmenguan ambush battle, and the 129th Division won the night attack on Yangmingbao. Although the scale of these victories was not It was large, but it was commendable in the context of the successive defeats of the Kuomintang troops in North China. While the Kuomintang troops were withdrawing south, the Eighth Route Army was advancing into the Japanese-occupied areas."
"The people in North China discovered that the Eighth Route Army not only had strict military discipline, but could also fight the Japanese, so they were very enthusiastic about joining the army, and the size of the Eighth Route Army expanded rapidly. For example, the 115th Division Independent Regiment initially had only more than 1,700 people. In just a few months, its strength reached More than 7,000 people attended.¡±
Then Li Guoyao said again: "But one regiment cannot command so many troops to fight effectively, so it is necessary to adjust the organization. This will be the norm in the future, which means that when the Eighth Route Army's troops at one level exceed the scale of the same level, they will It needed to be upgraded and organized. So the 115th Division Independent Regiment was upgraded to the 1st Independent Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, with 3 regiments under its jurisdiction. Each regiment still had an average of more than 2,000 people. This is the current 1st Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Division. , 2nd Regiment and 3rd Regiment.¡±
"The development of the 120th Division is also similar. The division organized young people from all over the country to join the army by forming working groups with small units, and successively formed the Xin'ao Independent Regiment, Pingshan Independent Regiment, Naoxian Independent Regiment, Houma Independent Regiment and other departments. Xin'ao Independent Regiment Later, the designation was changed to the 714th Regiment, the Pingshan Independent Regiment was changed to the new 718th Regiment, the Guoxian Independent Regiment was changed to the 719th Regiment, and the Houma Independent Regiment was incorporated into various ministries."
"The 359th Brigade of the 120th Division, for example, initially only led one 717th Regiment composed of the old Red Army. In just half a year, the brigade had grown into a full brigade with three combat regiments. In early 1938, the brigade's strength statistics were The 717th Regiment has 3,200 people, the 718th Regiment has 2,580 people, the 719th Regiment has 2,620 people, and the brigade directly has 1,100 people. The total strength of the brigade is 9,500 people, which is equivalent to the strength of the 120th Division when it went out to fight against Japan."
Speaking of this, Li Guoyao suddenly smiled and asked: "Does it look familiar?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
