The preparations for the expedition of the five field divisions have been completed. Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou have been experiencing constant wars in recent years. There are indeed some good soldiers in the army recruited. The five field divisions have priority and naturally select good soldiers. After the joining of these fresh blood,

The five field divisions are now strong and strong. The large regiment of five or six thousand men that was originally needed to cover up others is no longer needed. Everything has returned to normal. Some soldiers who are not suitable for the field divisions have been eliminated and some more elite soldiers have been added.

Make field divisions more combat effective.

The general establishment of the conventional division in Haoren's hands is: a squad is composed of about ten soldiers; a platoon is composed of three squads; a company is composed of three platoons, plus the company commander, supervisor, deputy company commander, and deputy supervisor

, each platoon leader, division chief and other cadres, some companies are also equipped with cooking squads, the number is about 120 people. A battalion is equipped with about four companies, the number is about 500 people; a regiment is equipped with three battalions, one

The standard regiment size is 1,500; a division includes four to six regiments, plus second-line non-combat units affiliated with the division's logistics office, special reconnaissance companies affiliated with the division's reconnaissance office, communications troops, etc., plus the division headquarters and

Other units, so a division is about more than 10,000 people,

The strength of a standard division is only 10,000, and a brigade is about one regiment less than a division, so the number of brigade is about 7,000. However, the regular army does not have a brigade unit.

The organization of the field division is one division and two brigades. Each brigade consists of two infantry regiments plus an armored truck battalion. The problem is that the field division troops are different from the squad level. The three combat groups in each squad remain unchanged. The team leader

Generally, they are upper class soldiers. Plus one heavy machine gun, two light machine guns, one sniper, plus the squad leader and deputy squad leader, that's 17 or 18 people. A platoon has about fifty people, a company has about two hundred people, and a battalion has about 200 people.

There are about 650 to 700 people, and a regiment ranges from 2,200 to 2,500 people. One brigade, two regiments, plus a brigade armored truck battalion and other attached second-line non-combat units, a brigade

The total number of troops directly under the brigade headquarters at home is about 6,500 to 7,500. The two brigades of the first division, plus the division artillery regiment and the second-line non-combat units affiliated with the division logistics office, the total number is at least

There are about 15,000 to 18,000 people. And the firepower is very powerful compared with other forces in this era. This guy obviously has a hobby of torturing people with such an organization. Whoever encounters it will be unlucky.

As soon as they heard that the field division was about to go on an expedition, Fan Haer and others hurriedly approached Haoren and asked to go out. Haoren explained: "Your brigades have just been replenished and have not been well integrated. The military training subjects have just started. How can you go on the expedition?"

Fan Haer and others hurriedly said: "Training can continue during the war break. This opportunity is rare. Commander, you must give us a chance to contribute and make meritorious deeds."

Being tortured by these guys, he had no choice but to agree. Haoren said to everyone: "Let's do this. Each of your brigades will have a field division. The staff has already formulated a combat plan. I will not participate this time. You have to grow up."

, you must learn to stand alone. Lin Ye will serve as the commander-in-chief, and you will form a former enemy headquarters with you as members to uniformly command this battle. We must complete the combat objectives."

"Commander, even if we learn one-tenth of your skills, it will be enough for the soldiers, so don't worry." Lin Ye took the lead this time, chasing Zhang Dejian with all his flattery.

"How can you imitate Zhang Dejian? You are good at flattery." Haoren said with a smile.

"That's right, Marshal. We promise to complete the mission." After these guys said it, their mouths burst into tears. Now Haoren has been deified in the army. The perfect planning and command of several classic battles deeply shocked the soldiers.

I have to worship in my heart.

In fact, before this, Haoren had already sent out ten independent regiments to become bandits. These were company commanders and battalion commanders who had performed well as bandits in the early stage. They were promoted to independent regiment commanders. Each regiment had only a little more than one battalion.

, requiring them to develop themselves during the battle. Shaanxi in the north sent out five regiments, Guangxi in the south already had three regiments, another regiment was sent to Nanman, and Laoguo sent another regiment. The tasks of these two regiments were only preliminary preparations

For work, you must be prepared in terms of language and information.

On June 20, just when Hunan was in a state of chaos, the regular troops from Guizhou Province had already sent troops to Hunan. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from Sichuan Province were also about to quietly set off, leaving Hanzhong and directly attacking Shaanxi.

At the beginning of 1926, Liu Zhenhua united with the Zhi, Feng, and Yan tribes in Shaanzhou and Lingbao to defeat the Second National Army. Taking advantage of the victory, Liu Zhenhua's 70,000-strong army quickly passed through Tongguan and arrived in the east of Xi'an on April 15.

In the suburbs, prepare to enter the city and relive old dreams.

On April 16, Yang Hucheng, commander of the Third Division of the National Army, led the main force of his unit to rush to Xi'an and repulsed the vanguard of Liu Zhenhua's army and Li Huchen, Wei Ding's first-class troops, a total of about 10,000 people, guarded Xi'an.

On April 17, Liu Zhenhua ordered the siege of Xi'an. By May 15, Liu Zhenhua's army captured the third bridge in the west of the city and completed the siege on all sides. Fierce fighting broke out one after another in Xi'an's offensive and defensive battles, especially in the Dongguan area. The two sides fought fiercely and often fought hand-to-hand.

They fought hand-to-hand and fought repeatedly. The city was short of ammunition and food and was in danger, but the Shaanxi army was still holding on. Now at the end of June, it is still unknown how long the Shaanxi defenders can hold on. It is a timely opportunity to send troops now.

Haoren no longer has to worry about this. If such troops cannot complete the task, they will just find a wall to kill. He is currently inspecting the road construction of the engineering corps. The scale of road construction in the three provinces of West China is very large, and the engineering corps only does technical work.

Most of the work is done by migrant workers. People outside are saying that the commander-in-chief has spent a lot of money to provide food for the people. In fact, Haoren is secretly enjoying himself. How can such low-cost labor and such high efficiency be achieved?

Looking for more people and more power, the roads can be built faster. At present, the north-south main road in Sichuan has been almost completed, and the road to Shaanxi is only the section from Hanzhong to Xi'an. Of course, the road is not as good as that of later generations. These Haoren have a plan

, once the scale of Haoren's chemical enterprise expanded, these roads were all asphalt pavements, which was no less than that of later generations.

By the way, Haoren inspected some more schools. This afternoon, he came to Luxian Girls' Middle School. The school held a banner to welcome the marshal for inspection, and several students came out to lay flowers. The girl who presented the flowers was very beautiful, and the principal introduced that she was from our school.

Student Cai Wenna is about to graduate this year.

The name sounded familiar to Haoren. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that in later generations, Cai Wenna, the ninth concubine of Yang Sen. Cai Wenna, the ninth concubine of Yang Sen, was from Luxian County. When she was studying at Luxian Girls' Middle School, she was known as "

"School Beauty". Yang Sen sent someone to force a marriage and took her as a concubine at the age of fourteen. When Cai Wenna was in college in Chengdu, she fell in love with her classmate Lu and was killed by Yang Sen.

Cai Wenna is the most beautiful among the "Twelve Hairpins", the most loved by Yang Sen, the most hated by Yang Sen, and at the same time the one with the most tragic fate. When Cai Wenna was in school at Huxian Girls' Middle School, she was known as the "school beauty" and her reputation spread far and wide. She is extraordinary.

Her refined temperament and compelling beauty make people fall in love with her. After Yang Sen heard about it, he rushed over to see her and fell in love with her. Even though someone sent someone to force an agreement, Cai's father was originally a down-and-out scholar pursuing fame and wealth.

Without caring about his daughter's happiness, he quickly agreed and sent his fourteen-year-old daughter into the tiger's mouth in exchange for the fame and wealth he dreamed of. When others were devastated by his unethical behavior, Cai's father actually said shamelessly: "Giving red pink to a beautiful woman,

A beauty matches a hero. Although she is the ninth wife, she is also the wife of an army commander."

Haoren thought to himself: Yang Sen was driven away in this life and will never come back. Cai Wenna's fate may change.

Yin Zaorou noticed Haoren's abnormality, and secretly made a note of it in her heart, saying that she must handle it for him later.

On July 1, 1926, the Sichuan Provincial Government took the lead in issuing a call to the people across the country to overthrow the reactionary Beiyang government, and announced that Sichuan troops would leave Hanzhong and attack Shaanxi directly.

Sichuan Province issued a declaration in the name of the National Party: "Our party has always advocated the use of peaceful methods to build a unified and powerful government. On the one hand, the people's livelihood is in decline and cannot bear the scourge of civil strife again. Despite the appeals of peaceful people from all sides, peace

The method did not work. As a last resort, in order to solve the current situation, the National Party wanted to establish the Xihua Government in western China and called on the people of the country to unite around the Xihua Government and work together to overthrow the warlords and build a strong country. Looking at imperialism

Those who incited the warlords once again intensified their ferocious flames and brought harm to the people. To this day, our party cannot bear the scourge of the country and the nation by warlords of all kinds, and calls on the people to overthrow the reactionary warlords. Moreover, with the help of the British imperialists, the traitorous warlords have revived.

The imperialists continue to use the benefits of increased tariff revenue and the support of money and arms to directly help the warlords oppress the people. Indirectly, they seek to permanently control China's tariff power and plunge China's economic life into a situation of no return. It is intolerable and cannot be tolerated.

It’s not the way to become a teacher.”

On July 2, the Yunnan Provincial Government also announced that in response to Sichuan's call, it would soon send troops out of Yunnan Province and borrow them to Guangxi to participate in the Northern Expedition.

On July 3, the Guizhou Provincial Government also announced that in response to Sichuan's call, it would soon send troops out of Guizhou Province to participate in the Northern Expedition.

As soon as the declaration came out, the world was shocked.

The news reached Guangzhou. The Central Committee of the Democratic Party was holding an extraordinary plenary meeting in Guangzhou. It had just adopted the "Declaration of the National Revolutionary Army's Northern Expedition". I almost lost my temper when I saw the popularity of the National Party's declaration. This was because they were just preparing to issue a declaration.

As a result, others were the first to get in; secondly, there are many similarities between this declaration and that declaration. Ni Ma, wouldn’t it be torture if you don’t play with people like this? There is no way, others published it first, and we published it later, so,

We have no choice but to change it. We obviously encouraged them to participate in the Northern Expedition. Why did Yunnan and Guizhou provinces respond to Sichuan's call to participate in the Northern Expedition? Our money was wasted. Didn't they just have a war with each other?

? It shouldn’t be!

On July 4, 1926, the People's Republic of China also issued a declaration of the Northern Expedition in Guangzhou. At this point, the Northern Expedition was fully launched.

The National Separatist Army has eight armies with more than 100,000 people (during later wars it grew to more than 40 armies with nearly one million people). Jiang Jieshi is the commander-in-chief, Li Jishen is the chief of staff of the general headquarters, and Bai Chongxi is the deputy chief of staff. Acting Chief of Staff, Deng Yanda serves as Director of the Political Department, and Guo Moruo serves as Deputy Director of the Political Department.

He Yingqin, Tan Yankai, Zhu Peide, Li Jishen, Li Fulin, Cheng Qian, Li Zongren, and Tang Shengzhi were appointed as commanders of the First Army to the Eighth Army respectively; Liao Bin, Li Fuchun, Zhu Kejing, Liao Qianwu, Li Langru, Lin Baiqu, Huang Shaohong, and Liu Wendao were appointed as the commanders of the First Army The representatives or deputy representatives of the Army to the Eighth Army. Except for the Eighth Army stationed in Hengshan and Anren areas of Hunan and the Seventh Army stationed in Guangxi, the other six armies are stationed in Guangdong. The headquarters of the Nationalist Army is located in v.k. Bu Liu Under the advice of the Soviet military advisers headed by Hull (pseudonym Gallon), based on the balance of military power between the enemy and ourselves and the contradictions between the warlords, a strategic policy was formulated to concentrate forces and defeat them one by one, first annihilating Wu Peifu's army, then annihilating Sun Chuanfang's army, and finally annihilating Zhang Zuolin's army deployed the main force to march into Hunan and Hubei, and most of the 1st Army to guard Fujian in Shantou and Meixian areas of Guangdong. One unit of the 1st and 4th Army and most of the 5th Army stayed in Guangzhou.
