    Regardless of a small number, it has extraordinary significance in the eyes of some people. For example, the numbers of the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army were specially selected by our Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and they were  The numbers from top to bottom are quite meaningful.

    After the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War in 1937, according to the agreement reached by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Central Military Commission issued an order on August 25, 1937 to reorganize the main force of the Red Army into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, referred to as the Eighth Route Army.

    Many people don¡¯t understand what a ¡°Road Army¡± is, and they don¡¯t know what level it is. Is it a corps-level combat unit or a group army-level combat unit?

    In fact, the "Road Army", also known as "Road", is a temporary operational and tactical command level formed during combat, and is usually canceled after the war.

    However, the Kuomintang Army has retained it as a first-level combat command level during the ten-year civil war. The level is equivalent to or slightly larger than that of the Army, and it is intended to replace the command function of the Army.

    Because the Kuomintang army has many factions and cannot complete the task of reorganizing the army at the same time, and the organization plan is very messy, the "Road Army" replacement army caused a lot of inconvenience during the use, so most of the army designations are still retained.

    During the Central Plains War in 1930, some army numbers were adjusted, restored, and added. The "Road Army" and the army coexisted at the same time, making the already messy Kuomintang army organization even more complicated and confusing.

    The Eighth Route Army was composed of the Cantonese troops who stayed in Guangdong during the Northern Expedition. Li Jishen and Chen Jitang served as commander-in-chief successively.  During the melee between the new warlords, the Eighth Route Army's designation had always belonged to the Cantonese Army.

    In June 1936, in order to resist Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army forces from entering Guangdong and Guangxi, Chen Jitang joined forces with Guangxi clique Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to launch the "Guangdong and Guangxi Incident" against Chiang Kai-shek.  In July, after the "Guangdong and Guangxi Incident" was resolved, the Kuomintang Military Commission abolished the Eighth Route Army.

    When the Red Army was reorganized, He Yingqin, Minister of the Military and Political Department of the Nationalist Government, gave this designation to Yan'an.

    It can be seen that the National Government did not have any good intentions when it gave Yan'an this designation. The temporary designation means that it may be revoked at the end of the war, and the Eighth Route Army was Chiang Kai-shek's mortal enemy before. This is so interesting, tell everyone  , they will still be sworn enemies from now on.

    In addition, the designations of the three divisions under the Eighth Route Army are also unusual and meaningful.

    Generally speaking, the numbers of the subordinate units of a combat unit, whether it is a route army, corps, division or brigade, are linked together to facilitate identification and management. However, the numbers of the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army are not linked together.  Why?

    In fact, the 115th, 120th, and 129th Divisions under the Eighth Route Army are not the designations of the Central Army, but originally belonged to the Northeast Army. Yes, just like Li Guoyao's division, they are all subordinate to Marshal Zhang.

    After the "September 18th" Incident, the Northeast fell and the Northeast Army was transferred to the three provinces of Henan, Hubei and Anhui. These three divisions, together with other Northeast Army units, participated in the "encirclement and suppression" of the Red Army in the Hubei, Henan, and Anhui Soviet Areas, and the  The continuous "clearance" of the regional Red Army guerrillas and the pursuit and interception of the 25th Red Army that had withdrawn from the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area and entered the Long March.

    After being transferred to the northwest, these divisions participated in the third "encirclement and suppression" campaign against the Shaanxi-Gansu Soviet Area and the 15th Red Army Corps, the Battle of Zhiluo Town, the battle to prevent the three major Red armies from joining forces, the Battle of Shancastle, and Longdong, Ningxia  Battles and other operations.

    It can be said that these three divisions have always been the mortal enemies of the Red Army.

    More importantly, these three divisions were all declassified by Chiang Kai-shek. Are you surprised?

    For example, the 115th Division, this designation originally belonged to the 67th Army of the Northeast Army. Yes, it was the same unit as Li Guoyao. The original 67th Army had four divisions, namely the 107th, 108th, 115th, and 117th Divisions.  .

    After the Xi'an Incident, Chiang transferred the 115th Division to the Woyang area of ??Anhui in March 1937 in order to prevent the Northeast Army from once again joining forces with the Red Army and Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army to fight against the Nanjing government.

    In June, Liu Zhi presided over an army reorganization meeting in Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces in Kaifeng, Henan, to reorganize and downsize the Northeast Army.  In the military establishment, only the cavalry corps retains three divisions, and the total strength is reduced by one-third.

    The 67th Army was downsized into two divisions, the 107th and 108th, each with two brigades and four regiments. The designations of the 115th and 117th Divisions were cancelled.  When the Kuomintang and the Communist Party negotiated to reorganize the Red Army, He Yingqin gave the 115th Division designation to the Eighth Route Army.

    The situation of the 120th Division and the 129th Division is the same. One was originally part of the 57th Army of the Northeast Army, and the other was originally part of the 53rd Army. In the end, both were revoked by the Nationalist Government and then given to the Eighth Route Army.

    Although Chiang Kai-shek reluctantly agreed to the joint resistance of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party against Japan due to the situation, he was still very reluctant to transform the Red Army into a regular force of the Kuomintang.  Minister of Military and Political Affairs He Yingqinzhi?Chiang was sometimes very superstitious, so in order to get some luck from him, he suggested that he could play a trick on the numbers given to the Red Army, granting the Eighth Route Army and three unlucky numbers 115, 120 and 129 to the Red Army.

    At the same time, the cunning He Yingqin suggested that the Red Army should be classified as the second theater in the Shanxi-Chacha area north of Taiyuan and east of Datong, because this was the main target of the Japanese attack at that time. In this way, the Red Army could use Japanese bullets to attack  "Sacrificing one's life for the country", thereby achieving the insidious purpose of the National Government.

    "Learning from the past, when Li Guoyao saw the designation of the 61st Army, he felt very bad, a little embarrassed, but more of a pity.

    Such a heroic title should have been famous throughout the ages and should have been worshiped and remembered by future generations of soldiers!

    "However, due to the factionalism and other ulterior motives, it eventually became synonymous with shame, which is really regrettable.

    But the matter has come to this, no matter how uncomfortable Li Guoyao is, there is nothing he can do, he can't disobey his orders!

    Last time, Gu Guan came forward. In addition, he made a sacrifice for the overall situation. Therefore, the old Chiang did not investigate it after the incident. It was lucky, but it must not take this as a matter of course.

    "If Li Guoyao disobeys orders again this time, no matter how good his reasons are, Wuhan will never give him this face, and he will definitely be severely punished.

    If nothing else, the big bosses in Wuhan are afraid of spoiling him. This disobedience is enough once, but if it happens more often, it will become a routine.

    ¡°In this case, Li Guoyao decided to happily accept this nickname with deep sadness. Not only that, he also wanted this nickname to shine with him and become a new banner for China¡¯s war of resistance.

    Think about the Eighth Route Army in North China and the three divisions under it. They also have "unlucky" designations. However, after the war, they all became powerful armies with brilliant results, repeated achievements, and great reputation.

    ¡°Now I want to say that the relative strength is no worse than any division of the Eighth Route Army, and with system support, it is inevitable that the 61st Army can become a famous number in Chinese and foreign military history.

    Just as Li Guoyao's thoughts crossed his mind, he heard a familiar voice in his mind: "Ding! The host triggers the main mission - the legendary number! Mission requirements: Accept the number of the 61st Army, build a powerful army, and annihilate the Japanese army.  There are 3 military divisions and 5 independent mixed brigades, making the 61st Army a truly legendary number"

    Li Guoyao did not look at the rewards for completing the task and the punishment for failure below, because when he saw the outrageous task requirements, he was completely confused.

    Li Guoyao's mood at this time was like a group of cute alpacas rushing past his heart, happily shouting "Grass Mud Horse". What kind of bullshit mission is this? It was just a burst of emotion on his part that could trigger such a cheating mission.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Do you think that the little devil is made of clay, and annihilating three divisions and five independent mixed brigades, is this not a joke?

    Each division of the Little Devil has at least 15,000 to 6,000 people. This only refers to the three-unit C-class division. The B-class division has more than 20,000 people, while the A-class division has more than 20,000 people.  About five thousand people.

    The most important thing is that there is no three-unit division in the Central China battlefield, at least not yet. Therefore, if Li Guoyao wants to complete the mission, he needs to annihilate at least three second-class divisions, which is more than 60,000 people!

    There are also five independent mixed brigades. The Little Devil's mixed brigade is a relatively special organization. It is not affiliated with a certain division. It carries out independent combat missions and is mostly a garrison force.

    However, such a brigade is equipped with various units such as cavalry, artillery, and engineers, and is equipped with light infantry weapons. It is a tactical unit, more suitable for mountain operations. Its strength is generally about six to seven thousand people. In the later period, due to the large-scale decline of the Japanese army  Reduced, so the strength of the independent mixed brigade also dropped to about 5,000.

    There are five brigades, which is at least 30,000 to 40,000 people. In other words, in order to complete this bullshit mission, the 61st Army must eliminate at least 100,000 Japanese troops. Li Guoyao suddenly felt like he was screwed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
