    Due to the urgent fighting on the front line, the 59th Army and other troops were in a hurry to leave. Therefore, all orders from the theater commander were immediately issued and implemented. Even Li Guoyao was rushed back to Quanjiao by Chief Gu before he even had time to eat lunch.

    When he returned to Quanjiao, Li Guoyao did not go back alone, but brought back the three supplementary regiments promised by the theater commander's department.

    Unlike the previous regiments that were designated by the theater commander's department, this time the three regiments were all directly selected by Li Guoyao personally at the recruit recruitment point of the theater commander's department. There were 5,500 people in total, no one was missing.

    In addition to the soldiers, Li Guoyao also took these people directly to the logistics department of the war zone commander's department to collect weapons and equipment, which was called saving the war zone and sending people to deliver them to them.

    In fact, everyone knows that Li Guoyao is afraid that the theater commander will give them a discount, so it is better to keep an eye on him.

    Since Li Guoyao was notorious for his evil deeds, the logistics department of the theater commander also cooperated with 3,800 rifles, half of which were Chinese and official, half of which were made in Hanyang, and there were also 6 Czechs, 4 Maxims, and 4 small-caliber rifles.  Mortars and 128 horses are all the weapons and equipment of these three supplementary regiments.

    To be honest, although the theater commander thought it was very generous, Li Guoyao still thought it was very shabby. With this little equipment, except for a slightly larger number of rifles, it could not compare with the firepower of an infantry brigade of the Little Japanese.

    But there is no way, the national conditions are like this!

    After bringing all the soldiers and weapons and equipment back to Quanjiao, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the officers at the regiment level to hold a meeting!

    Soon, all the brigade-level officers of the 7th Division were here!

    When we arrived at the conference room of the headquarters, it was already full of people. When they saw Li Guoyao coming in, everyone immediately stood up and said loudly: "Hello, Master!"

    "sit!"

    Li Guoyao motioned for everyone to sit down and said, "Everyone is here, is there anyone asking for leave?"

    "Report, all officers at regiment level and above in the division have arrived, no one is late, no one asks for leave!" Chief of Staff Ma Desheng stood up and said.

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Okay, now let me read out the order from the top: From now on, Li Guoyao will be appointed as the garrison commander of Bengbu, to control all military forces in the seven counties and districts around Bengbu, and to be responsible for the security of Bengbu City.  March 3rd, seventh year.¡±

    After reading out the order, Li Guoyao continued: "This is the order issued by the Chief of the Third War Zone this morning. From now on, our 7th Division will become the only defense force in Bengbu City. In the afternoon, troops from the 192nd Division will be stationed in Quanjiao County.  , and we evacuated the whole army from Quanjiao."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Division Commander Xu Hu couldn't help but ask: "Master, isn't Bengbu always guarded by the 31st Army? Why did it suddenly become our division? What happened?"

    "The war situation in Shandong changed suddenly, Linyi was in crisis, and the Fifth Theater requested reinforcements. The Military Commission decided to transfer the 59th Army and the 31st Army to the Shandong battlefield, and we became the only available troops near Bengbu. Therefore, the Military Commission and the Third Army  The theater commander hopes that we can take on the important task of defending Bengbu!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Master, are there no other troops besides our temporary seventh division?" Xu Hu asked with a frown.

    "No more. Our Temporary Seventh Division is the only national army unit in Bengbu and its surrounding areas. That means that for a long time to come, our Temporary Seventh Division will be alone in dealing with the Japanese troops in Chu County!" Li Guoyao said.  .

    Ma Desheng said immediately: "If there is only one 13th Division, it will be nothing, but if the Japanese army continues to increase its troops in Chu County, then we will be really passive!"

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do about it. Military orders are like mountains, so we can¡¯t disobey them on the battlefield, right?¡±

    Then Li Guoyao suddenly changed his voice and said: "But don't worry, everyone. Although the theater commander's department did not give us other troops to assist us, it gave us three regiments of supplementary troops. In addition, it also assigned 6 security regiments around Bengbu to  Our command, weapons, equipment and ammunition have also given us some support, so we are not without a chance!"

    "I just heard that the commander brought back five or six thousand new soldiers. I was wondering where the commander got so many troops. It turned out they were from the war zone commander's department!" Wang Zhanhai said with a smile.

    "Master, although we have added a lot of troops, how can I say that once the Japs increase their troops by more than one division or even a brigade, it will be difficult for us to defend Bengbu. After all, in terms of combat effectiveness, which new soldiers are basically  It¡¯s not useful enough!¡± Xu Hu said.

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "So from now on we will expand all the troops, and thenThen seize the time to train!  "

    "Expansion? Master, Shangfeng doesn't seem to have established an organization for us. How can we expand it?" Xu Hu asked in surprise.

    "Yes, Master, we are now an A-type division. If we expand further, we will become a corps-level combat unit. If Shangfeng finds out, the consequences will be disastrous!" Wang Zhanhai said.

    Li Guoyao did not answer their questions, but said to Ma Desheng: "Old Ma, please report the family background of our temporary seventh division!"

    "yes!"

    Then Ma Desheng stood up and said: "Our Temporary Seventh Division now has three brigades and six regiments of infantry, plus one battalion each of cavalry, artillery, engineering, air defense, and security, and one special force, with a total of 16,548 soldiers, including newly added soldiers.  There are 4,789 troops and 2,213 wounded."

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "You see, if we throw away the wounded and the recruits from the two regiments that were just added a few days ago, the actual available troops are less than 9,000. And look at the little devils, Chu County alone  The Japanese 13th Division has less than 10,000 people, how can we fight this battle?"

    "What's more, the Japs are determined to win Bengbu. After suffering a big loss last time, they will definitely increase their troops in Bengbu. Therefore, if we don't expand, it will be difficult to defend Bengbu, so expansion is inevitable. And we not only need to expand, but also  It needs to be expanded on a large scale!¡±

    Xu Hu immediately asked: "Master, what are you going to do?"

    "What I mean is that the designation of the Seventh Division remains unchanged for the time being. It is still a division-level combat unit, but the establishment of each brigade will be expanded. The specific plan is to fill the gaps in the existing six infantry regiments, and then each brigade will  Increase the establishment of one regiment. In this way, each of our brigade has three infantry regiments, with a total strength of about 7,500."

    Li Guoyao then continued: "In addition, the artillery, cavalry, engineering, air defense, security and other units directly under the division have all been upgraded to regiment-level units, and the establishment of field hospitals must also be increased."

    After listening to Li Guoyao's plan, everyone was stunned. If the expansion is carried out according to Li Guoyao's plan, the temporary seventh division will suddenly leap from the size of the third brigade and six regiments plus several directly affiliated battalions to the behemoth of the third brigade and 14 regiments.

    Even excluding the direct troops of the five regiments, the total strength of the infantry alone exceeds 22,000, and the total strength of the entire division may even exceed 30,000.

    Think about it, most of the infantry regiments in the national army now have only six to seven thousand people. Only the elite Class A division of the Central Army can exceed 10,000 people. However, the seventh division has to be expanded to more than 30,000 people at once. This is no better than a single  The group army is small.

    Therefore, when everyone heard about this military expansion plan, their first reaction was disbelief. Later, they all thought that Li Guoyao was too crazy. He dared to think of such an expansion plan, and it seemed that he was ready to implement it!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
