Chapter 16 Major Adjustment

After Nanjing was taken, Deng Sen really wanted to set up the command center there immediately, but considering the current form, it continued to develop in northern Anhui. He also felt that this place was at least inland. At this stage, Nanjing might be attacked by the Japanese Navy, so it is the safest place, and the military factories are much safer here.

On August 20, all regiment-level officers of the entire Iron Blood Army and major government personnel from various places were concentrated at Lingbi headquarters, and several large capitalists moved from Shanghai also entered the conference site.

The large conference room of the Iron Blood Army is 120 meters long and 50 meters wide. It occupies one-third of the second floor of the building. It has more than one thousand seats. A rostrum is set up in the north, and fifteen seats are discharged in sequence.

The rostrum is twelve meters east and west, with a width of five meters. Below are seats divided into five rows, with ten seats at the beginning of each row. There are two rows here that are military seats, that is, military seats. The two rows are seats for government personnel, and one row is seats for merchants. The order of discharge is that the southernmost row is seats for merchants, the two rows in the middle are seats for military personnel, and the north row is seats for government personnel.

At this meeting, a temporary law in the Jiangsu-Anhui Autonomous Region was passed, namely, reaffirming human rights, establishing local police agencies, establishing the Supreme Court to county-level courts, providing legal training for young students, disability retired soldiers are responsible for training, and civilian personnel are responsible for legal training.

At the same time, through the Ministry of Commerce’s Anhui North development plan, namely the construction of Huaibei thermal power plant, the division of light industrial base areas, large-scale mineral exploration, heavy factory investment, Xuzhou development plan and other commercial development plans. At the same time, the Commercial Law was issued, and the provisions on commercial regulations, tax laws and other laws were detailed.

In terms of the army, the former temporary Anhui First Army and Jiangsu First Army were adjusted in total, and the troops were as follows:

The Jiangsu-Anhui Military Command was established, with three armies under its jurisdiction, namely the Iron Blood First Army, the Iron Blood Second Army, the Iron Blood Third Army, and the Central SS. The Three Armies were under its jurisdiction. The SS was changed from the original Blood Guard Army and the Secret Guard was organized into the Intelligence Department.

The First Army has a division of 11th Division, 12th Division, 13th Division, 14th Division, and 15th Division with 100,000 troops. The commander of the army Tian Ding and deputy commander Chen Lin also serves as the commander of the First Division, the commander of the Second Division, the commander of the Third Division, Hu Bin, the commander of the Fourth Division, and Zhao Dahai, the commander of the Fifth Division. Each division has a staffing of 18,000 people, divided into two main brigades, two thousand people in the Engineer Regiment, and three thousand people in the Central Regiment of the Division. There is also a military field artillery reinforcement regiment with 4,000 people.

The number of people among the thirteen armies is the smallest, but the most well-equipped and most powerful firepower is also the army with the strongest combat power, and is the absolute main force of the Iron Blood Army.

In addition, the meeting appointed Huang Xing as the chief of civil affairs of Jiangsu and Anhui and the first chief of law and government, Zhang Xiaojun as the chief of staff of the Iron Blood Army, Jiang Baili as the deputy chief of staff and minister of education, and the principal of the Dahan Military Academy. At the same time, three county magistrates who had embezzlement during this period were found. According to the circumstances, one person was shot and two people were sentenced to ten years in prison. At the same time, they formed a windshield to investigate the affairs of officials every three months.

During this period, because many ** parties defected, all departments were added, and the administrative agencies were expanded four times. In addition, the Su-Anhui Federation of Trade Unions was allowed to be established by Deng Sen.

The government invested 10 million legal currency, and each company raised 5 million legal currency, and Yugabin served as the first bank president.

This meeting was a conference of great significance for northern Anhui, marking the establishment of the Jiangsu-Anhui Autonomous Government and marking that Deng Sen has not only military forces, but also civil affairs agencies.

All parties reported at the conference, and the officials from all sides made plans for future affairs, starting from 10 a.m. and ending from 4 p.m., and the Military Affairs Officer's Meeting was convenient for 8 p.m.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the general staff headquarters was placed on the wall, and Jiang Baili was holding a baton to explain to the leaders of all aspects.

"According to our judgment, the Japanese army's attack target was Lianyun Port, landing from Lianyun Port in Yandonghai County, Xinyi County, Pizhou, and Xuzhou, and then attacking our command Lingbi. What our army has to do is to block it with all its might. According to our General Staff's analysis of Japan, since Japan's naval construction is accelerating and the army is weak. In addition, the Northeast Railway garrison, the North Korean garrison, the local garrison, and its delivery capacity, and the number of materials are analyzed. Japan's troops are up to 150,000, and the first batch should reach about 50,000 troops. We formed the first defense line in Lianyungang Town, Chaoyang Town, and Luoyang Town; formed the second defense line in Ninghai, Jinping and Baitabu; formed the third defense line in Gaoxu, Fangshan and Hongzhuang." In the future, we will continue to move the baton in our hands to point out the area to many generals.

"I believe everyone has also seen that every three places are connected together, and all of them are marked with the existence of the main position. It is the most likely place for the Japanese army to attack. Now I will read out the resettlement of the troops. The 12th Division of the First Army entered Luoyang, the 13th Division entered Lianyungang Town, and the 14th Division entered Chaoyang Town. Each of these three towns is less than twenty miles apart, forming a blocking position zone of 100 miles long. The main defense line is in these three places. Only these three places are broken can the Japanese army continue to attack." Zhang Xiaozhun took the baton and pointed three areas on the map. This is the first line of defense, which is stationed by 60,000 people from three divisions.

"Yes" the three division commanders who were named quickly stood up, took the order in unison, and then sat down immediately, while other officers were also waiting for the arrangement of other positions.

When Zhang Xiaojun saw the three of them sitting down, he began to move the baton again and said to the generals: "The second line of defense is followed by the 15th Division, the 22nd Division, the Jinping, and the 23rd Division, which is the key area of ​​our army, and no breakthrough is allowed in every place."

"Understand" three more division commanders came up to respond.

"Now the third line of defense, that is, the battle reserve force, the 23rd Division entered Gaoxu, the 24th Division entered Fangshan, and the 21st Mixed Brigade entered Hongzhuang. The task of these three troops was to imitate the Japanese army exploited our loopholes to attack our rear base. In addition, the 11th Division, the 21st Division, the first machine, the First Field Division, and the First Field Division formed the main force, and if necessary, it was just a counterattack operation to be read out." All the tasks of Brigadier General Zhang Xiao finished reading out and saluted Deng Sen.

Deng Sen nodded to him and said to Piaotiansi.com: "My generals, the war is coming again. This time it will be a battle of life and death. If we win, we will rise in hopes. If we lose, we will have nothing. I ask all the officers and soldiers to carry forward the spirit of our troops' fearlessness. For the sake of the nation, for the party, and for the rejuvenation of the nation, this time, the invaders will have to fight desperately. The army of alien races will definitely not be allowed to step into the territory of our Iron Blood Army again. Now I announce that the Iron Blood Army will conduct pre-war preparations and use only two months to train. I do not want any troops to be defeated by the enemy. At the same time, the General Staff will conduct wartime recruitment in various places, and indicate that young people with ambition will join the army and form a new reserve force, ready to replenish the battlefield at any time."

"My generals, do you have the intention to die?" Dengson paused for a moment and asked loudly again.

"There are..." All the staff officers and commanders of various troops stood up one after another, shouting and assured them.

"It's better to fight for the nation. Fight for victory. Long live the Han people..." Deng Sen then stood up, pulled out his sword, held it high and shouted.

"Fight for the nation, fight for victory, fight for the head of state, long live the Han nation, long live the head of state..." All the officers pulled out all the Tang swords equipped with, held them up high, and swore solemnly to Deng Sen.

The next day, the military order was issued, except for the southern guards, everything else began to gather in designated war zones. One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, was sang and sang in the land of Jiangsu and Anhui. All the garrisons from various places marched towards Xuzhou. After being adapted in Xuzhou, they went directly to the designated position and started training.

At the same time, supplies were also transported in the golden brim, with 1,600 trucks and thousands of cattle and horse carriages transporting war materials to various places, and trenches and bunkers were also presented little by little under the construction of civilians and engineers.

"Based on the intelligence obtained by intelligence personnel in China, the Iron Blood Army has expanded its total force, with a total force of about 200,000, and a war mobilization order has been issued. I propose to cancel this combat plan." Shigeshinobu Okuma delivered a speech at the cabinet meeting with the report of the intelligence personnel. Because Japan's current financial situation has just improved, if this large-scale mobilization will slow down the economic recovery, and the profits from the South Manchuria region over the years will be transferred to the east.

Hearing the words of Shigetsu Okuma, Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito was a little shaken. The war must be detrimental to the country now.

"No, we must start a war. If we do not start a war, our status in the eyes of Britain, France and other countries will decline. We will definitely be expelled from the central position in handling Far East affairs. Moreover, even if the Iron Blood Army expands its army, 200,000 farmers are not the opponent of our 100,000 Japanese Imperial Army." Army Marshal Teraunuchi saw that the old prime minister was a little shaken and sighed that the old prime minister must be old. He hurriedly stood up and opposed Okuma Shigeon's words.

"Yes, we must fight, which is also a good excuse for us to occupy central China." After the Army Minister finished speaking, he also stood up and spoke. Obviously, the army supported the war.

Hirofumi Ito was a little embarrassed. At the strong request of the army, he had to consider it here. He turned his attention to Navy Minister Ijiyuan Goro, who represented the naval force.

Ijiyuan Goro also knew that his words now could determine which side of the two sides won. He gently moved the corners of his mouth and said, "For the Chinese people, we must fight for the dignity of the empire, so our Admiralty feels that war is imperative."

"Okay, I will implement the Chinese Revenge Plan in three months." In the end, Hirobuki Ito agreed to continue to implement the operation plan, but he didn't know how difficult this battle would be.
