    From Xigushan to Quanjiao County, both Zhang Wenqing and Xie Fuguo were stunned by the combat effectiveness displayed by the Seventh Division, and they all recognized the brilliant achievements of the Seventh Division in this battle.

    That night, the telegram drafted by Xie Fuguo himself was sent back to Wuhan through the military telegraph operator.

    After reading the telegram sent back by Xie Fuguo, Minister He thought for a moment, and then rushed to meet with the commissioners to report the situation.

    Soon the decision on the award for the Temporary Seventh Division came down. In view of the brilliant achievements of the Temporary Seventh Division in this battle, the Military Commission decided to upgrade the establishment of the Temporary Seventh Division again, from a B division to a Category A division. After the upgrade was completed,  The Temporary Seventh Division will change from the current infantry division with two brigades and four regiments to three brigades and six regiments. With the addition of cavalry and engineers, all the troops add up to 6 regiments plus 4 directly affiliated battalions, with a total strength of 10,000.  More than three thousand people.

    In addition to the expansion of the troops, the Military Commission also decided to replenish the 7th Division with three new regiments of recruits and 3,000 new guns. The weapons and ammunition were also supplemented accordingly.

    In addition, the Military Commission also specially allocated a reward of 50,000 oceans.

    Of course, medals are indispensable. After all, compared to replenishing soldiers, weapons and equipment, and rewards, the cost of these medals is too small. Whenever an army wins a battle, the National Government will indispensable them.  A wave of medals.

    When the news came, the entire Seventh Division was of course rejoicing. After all, this wave of awards was quite good. Not only had the establishment been expanded, but there were also supplements and bonuses. Although it was not a lot, it was still quite a lot.

    What¡¯s more important is that the attitude shown by the above is good, and they no longer discriminate against their motley crew like before.

    "However, this is what ordinary soldiers and low-level officers think. People such as Li Guoyao don't think so, and they feel a little heavy.

    Shangfeng¡¯s attention is not necessarily a good thing. Once it comes into the sight of the big guys in the Military Commission, those who support the 7th Division are not necessarily sunshine, it may also be a conspiracy.

    This is not an unfounded worry by Li Guoyao and others, but a real phenomenon.

    After the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, the miscellaneous army put national justice first, put aside their past grievances, obeyed the leadership of the central government, and resolutely went to the anti-Japanese front line, forming a situation in which all armies across the country united to resist aggression.

    Regrettably, however, unity and gunfire are nothing more than a good wish imagined by most people. The real situation is that the top leaders of the Kuomintang did not completely give up the policy of excluding dissidents in the fight against Japan.

    From the very beginning, Chiang Kai-shek had "pretended that the whole country was united and fought against the national calamity, and secretly planned to eliminate all these miscellaneous troops who were not directly related to him." This can be seen from the treatment of the Central Army and the miscellaneous troops of the Nationalist Army.  come out.

    ¡°Theoretically, whether it is the central military or local miscellaneous troops, they are all China¡¯s national defense forces and they are all fighting the national crisis together. Therefore, whether it is weapons and equipment or logistical supplies, they should be coordinated and there should be no gaps.

    But the reality is different. The Nationalist Government did not treat the motley crew equally in terms of weapons and equipment!  Especially in terms of weapons and ammunition, the Central Army can receive unlimited supplies, while the miscellaneous army has inferior equipment.

    For example, 80% of the rifles used by the Sichuan Army are made in Sichuan and 20% are made in Hanyang. They have been used for a long time. Not only the quality is poor, but the quantity is also seriously insufficient.  Especially in terms of heavy weapons, one division of the Sichuan Army only had a dozen machine guns and a few mortars, and almost no field or mountain artillery with a long range and high lethality.

    Before leaving Sichuan, Deng Xihou, commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army, sent a telegram asking for additional information. Chiang replied: "I will do it as soon as I arrive in Xi'an."

    But after arriving in Xi'an, Chiang ordered the original Sichuan army vehicles to drive eastward and assign them to the second theater. The weapons and ammunition were "directly replenished from the theater."

    After arriving in Shanxi, Yan Xishan, the commander-in-chief of the Second Theater Command, said that "it needs to be solved in Nanjing."

    As a result, the group army did not receive any reinforcements and fought hard for more than a month with the well-equipped Japanese army, resulting in more than half of the casualties.

    After the Sichuan army arrived in Xuzhou, Li Zongren tried his best to request for replenishment, but the central government only made an exception to replenish 250 rifles for each army.  This is obviously a drop in the bucket and will not help.

    They are both anti-Japanese armed forces and China's national defense force, but their treatment on the battlefield is very different. The troops who are favored by the Chairman have the best weapons, equipment and clothing. The soldiers have leggings and leather boots, but more unknown brands  The soldiers all wore straw sandals, and five of them slept on one blanket.  It can be seen that the logistics supplies of the Central Army and the miscellaneous army are very different.

    After the Sichuan Army left Sichuan, each soldier only had two pieces of coarse cloth, a pair of leggings, a single quilt, a small single mat, two pairs of straw sandals, and a bamboo hat.  The Sichuan Army was short of funds and food. Chiang Kai-shek refused to allocate the funds and ordered the Sichuan Army toRaise funds.

    Feng Zhi'an's troops had no shoes and socks, and the soldiers were soaking in the water. Feng Yuxiang called Minister He of the Ministry of Military Affairs and asked him to buy 40,000 pairs of shoes and 40,000 pairs of socks. He replied, "The country's charter does not say that this is issued."  ".  After Feng Yuxiang argued hard, He Cai agreed to "buy 10,000 pairs", that is, one pair for four people.

    Wei Fenglou¡¯s troops relied entirely on the common people for weapons, food and wages. When the war started, the government¡¯s ¡°bullets, food and wages, and no powerful assistance were available. The calls from the sky and the sky were unresponsive, and the earth and the earth failed to respond.¡±  The same is true for Sun Liangcheng's troops, who "don't give him enough pay and don't give him enough clothes."

    That¡¯s all. The most important thing is that in terms of replenishing soldiers, the National Government did a very bad job.

    Difficulty in replenishing troops during wartime is a common phenomenon in the Nationalist Government¡¯s army, but the essence of the problem is that the central government does not replenish the lack of soldiers in the miscellaneous army. Therefore, the miscellaneous army can only recruit troops to supplement it.

    For the miscellaneous army, the Nationalist Government not only failed to replenish it in time, but took advantage of the Anti-Japanese War to organize and eat the miscellaneous army: through the attrition and lack of troops, it reorganized the army, canceled the miscellaneous army designation, and allowed it to die naturally.

    When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, among the 90 armies of the Kuomintang army, the armies controlled by miscellaneous army generals were slightly more than those controlled by the Chiang Kai-shek clique.  However, by the end of the Anti-Japanese War, of the more than 120 units of the Kuomintang army, only about 1/4 were miscellaneous units.  Among them, some armies have been centralized and are no longer controlled by generals.

    For example, the Sichuan Army still has more than a dozen corps on the surface, but in fact only two or three corps are under the control of General Chuan Kang.

    Previously, the Seventh Division was not valued by anyone, so no one paid their attention. However, as this unit repeatedly performed extraordinary feats on the anti-Japanese battlefield, both the Ministry of Military Affairs and Lao Chiang Kai-shek looked at this unit with admiration.

    Now that the Military Commission has suddenly shown such enthusiasm, this cannot help but make Li Guoyao doubt the intentions of those above.

    There is no such thing as hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason. The Military Commission behaved so badly before, but Li Guoyao felt that it was normal in his heart. This is the right thing to do!

    But now that weapons and equipment are being given to soldiers, this made Li Guoyao wary.

    However, the soldiers came to cover the water, and the means of old Jiang was just those. At this stage, people who sent people were obscure to mix sand. He did not care about these at all.

    But what the specific situation will be depends on the arrival of the supplementary troops of these regiments. Before that, they have to take good care of Xie Fuguo and his gang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
