I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 374 Minister Zhang still underestimated Commander Song

In their jurisdiction, there are countless detachments that can be transformed into regular troops at any time.

According to conservative estimates, Song Wenwan has deployed 430,000 regular troops on the anti-Japanese battlefield.

Minister Cheng underestimated Shanxi's combat capability, and Song Wenwan did not specifically point it out.

Otherwise, once Song Wenwan mentioned the figure of 500,000, he was afraid that Minister Cheng's heart would not be able to bear it.

When Song Wenwan reported the figures to the Ministry of National Defense in the temporary capital, she did not tell the truth.

When calculating the number of troops, the imperial court always used one division as the basis, which was 12,000 to 15,000.

According to the Ministry of National Defense’s account books, there are nine divisions in Shanxi, one division in Henan, and four divisions in Jiangnan.

Add to that Huo Jiaqiang's cavalry division and a marine division, there are a total of sixteen divisions, with about 200,000 people.

From the perspective of the Ministry of National Defense, of the 60,000 troops guarding northern Shaanxi on the Gansu-Shaanxi border, it is estimated that half of them are militia.

Haven’t you heard that there are already female soldiers in the militias in various counties in Gannan?

This shows that there are no men of military age in Gannan.

Like the Marine Division and the four militia divisions in Jiangnan, they were all tacitly regarded as the direct descendants of the National Army.

There are also two divisions in the Eighth War Zone, also under the command of the deputy commander-in-chief there.

With this calculation, Song Wenwan's "real strength" is no more than a regular army of no more than 150,000. There is nothing to be afraid of!

Minister Cheng thought so at first, but he knew the loyalty of Song Wenwan's subordinates.

Minister Cheng classified Song Wenwan as a first-class warlord with 300,000 troops, so he chose to live with him in his old age.

I never expected that Song Wenwan was hiding so deeply that even he misjudged her.

Song Wenwan’s 60,000 troops on the Gansu-Shaanxi border are genuine regular troops.

Were they really defending against the Communists in northern Shaanxi by relying on the fortifications in Hengshan?

In his opinion, Song Wenwan should be defending the First Army in Xi'an!

Moreover, Song Wenwan’s strength is not limited to this, he is still continuing to train troops.

Within two years, he will have a field army of 600,000, well-equipped and well-trained.

Moreover, their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the German-equipped divisions of that time.

The German-equipped division had 11,000 men, but only had 4,000 rifles at most.

As for Song Wenwan, his division had more than 20,000 people, and they had more than 30,000 rapid-fire rifles and pistols.

If he had to fall out with Peidu, he might really be able to dominate the entire country with the strength of one province.

Especially when he was on the plane, he saw Zhou Weiguo’s more than a hundred armored tanks.

In the endless Gobi Desert, when the performance group breaks through.

Minister Cheng was really glad that his choice was so wise.

If Song Wenwan were to use this lineup to conquer the Central Plains, the imagination would be so rich.

The Jinsui Army in Shanxi will absolutely remain neutral, those in Yunnan will express support, and those in Guangxi will definitely join.

Needless to say, the warlords in Sichuan were the first to turn their guns around.

The existence of the Sichuan Army Youth Division is definitely the lifeline of Sichuan people today and the future officer corps of the Sichuan Army.

Minister Cheng already understood everything that happened at Chaotianmen Wharf.

As long as the Gannan coalition forces give the order, at least half of Sichuan will be named Song.

As for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, they will definitely fight alongside Song Wenwan.

Minister Cheng had long felt that Song Wenwan might have already been famous before he went to Jiangxi.

I never thought about it that way before, but now that I have doubts, I feel that everything is worthy of suspicion.

In fact, there is no need for anyone else to help. Just wait for the iron torrent of the Gannan coalition forces to come out.

I'm afraid that quite a few of the Central Army's direct descendants will become heroes who know how to adapt to changing times.

The only thing that Minister Cheng didn't understand was that Song Wenwan already had such a great power and was fully qualified to challenge the throne.

But he never had that intention and completely sided with northern Shaanxi behind the scenes.

When he arrived at the conference room of Hengshan Base, he finally met with some old friends again.

In the conference room, the leader personally handed over the important task of how to build Gansu and northern Shaanxi to him.

Song Wenwan also reported the development of his troops to the leader without reservation.

The huge amount of materials and weapons handed over even amazed Minister Cheng (now the governor of Gansu Province).

They are all like a ray of light, the kind of people who are upright, selfless and self-disciplined.

Perhaps their faith has allowed them to reach a height that even they themselves cannot reach.

After the meeting, Song Wenwan said happily: "Uncle Cheng, just believe me, it's right!

Today's like-minded people can at least save you ten years of detours."

After Song Wenwan finished speaking, she thought proudly about Minister Cheng's ending.

Rather than signing the uprising notice ten years later, it is better to earn a vice-ministerial level position now.

It is getting closer to the end of March, and Song Wenwan still has a lot of preparation work to do.

On March 20th, all the National Army air force had returned to the temporary capital on their own.

There were also a few air force soldiers who did not have enough planes to fly back, and they all looked at Song Wenwan pitifully.

Song Wenwan simply sent away the four DH.39 Don advanced trainer aircraft in the hangar.

These are the brave men who are willing to fight the Japanese to their death in the Chinese airspace.

If Song Wenwan can help them, she should do so. She can't be worse than Chu Yunfei.

The National Army's air force had all left, and the No. 1 flight base had finally become quiet.

Song Wenwan closed the flight airspace of Gansu, and the reason given was very simple.

They no longer had any fighter jets, so all supplies to support the temporary capital had to be transported by land.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, planes from the temporary capital should not come over.

It would be a big loss if we were shot down by Gannan’s air defense weapons.

This unreasonable request was actually approved by the Capital's Attendant's Office.

This answer made everyone jealous again. It was said that even the concessions in Shanghai had offered odds.

I want to bet whether the Song character in Song Wenwan's name is the same Song character in the attendant's room.

This did tempt some of the people above, but it was a pity that there was no way to implement it.

Let’s not talk about whether the two gentlemen can make sense, let’s talk about Song Wenwan.

If you ask the commander-in-chief of an army group to go out and find a godmother, it would be strange if she didn't shoot him.

Song Wenwan's Hongying-6 had already distributed twenty of them. They were all handed over to Zhou Weiguo, who was asked to set up the air defense position.

That night, the flight base in Gannan began to close.

All personnel retreated to the dormitory at Yamaguchi to rest for a day.

Although there are regulations that prohibit whispering in this special situation.

But no one could sleep. Everyone kept their eyes open, silently waiting for the arrival of the new aircraft.

Sure enough, before ten o'clock, the roar of airplane engines could be heard from the sky, coming from far away.

Song Wenwan was very busy that night. In addition to faking the traces of the plane landing, she also had to create the illusion of entering the warehouse.

Song Wenwan looked very cautious, he was really afraid of damaging these precious planes.

These days, he has insufficient points to redeem big things like airplanes and tanks.

Otherwise, he would not have personally gone after Takeshita Ryo of the Japanese special forces.

If you shoot and kill the Japanese with your own hands, you will get double points.

If the Japanese were killed at famous locations, such as Yangcun and Cangyunling.
