    Chapter 471:

    The sky is getting dark, and at night, with the lights in various places, it is difficult for the Japanese aviation forces to find bombing targets. Therefore, fighter planes are basically not dispatched at night, so night is also the safest time for the entire city of Wuhan.

    Therefore, starting from 7 o'clock in the evening, the air defense troops of Hubei Province scattered in various air defense positions and key protection units in Wuhan City set off one after another, carrying all their belongings and rushing to the Wuchang barracks to meet their future commander.

    At the same time, the two supplementary regiments Luo Zhuoying promised to Li Guoyao also set off from the temporary barracks and rushed to the Wuchang barracks.

    From the time the first unit arrived at Wuchang Barracks at 7:30 to the arrival of the last unit, it took more than four hours for these troops to gather and travel. When all the troops arrived at Wuchang Barracks, it was already 11 p.m.  Too much.

    The campus grounds were filled with people and chaos.  The screams of people, the neighing of horses, and the roar of vehicles turned the Wuchang Military Camp into a noisy vegetable market.

    Li Guoyao, as the deputy commander of Wuhan Garrison Command and the leader of Wuhan air defense operations, attaches great importance to these air defense troops, so he has been secretly observing these troops since they arrived at the Wuchang barracks.

    To be honest, Li Guoyao was very disappointed!

    It stands to reason that as an air defense force, the reaction must be fast. You must know that the combat targets they face are not ordinary infantry, but aviation troops flying aircraft. If the reaction speed is too slow, the day lily will be cold by the time they get started.  .

    However, these people were lazy and leisurely, from the time the sun set at seven o'clock until they gathered at eleven o'clock. Their movements were even worse than sloths.

    Secondly, these soldiers do not seem to come from the same system. The military uniforms are also varied. Some are wearing the Central Army's standard military uniforms, some are wearing police-like uniforms, and some are wearing light yellow clothes. I don't know which department they are from.  Or the warlord army in which province.

    No wonder Chairman Chiang insists on putting himself in charge of Wuhan¡¯s air defense operations and relying on these people to guard the sky over Wuhan. Isn¡¯t this a joke?

    ??Furthermore, the weapons and equipment of these troops are also diverse. Except for two of the regiments, which are pretty good and equipped with some anti-aircraft guns, the rest are all ordinary light and heavy machine guns, and there are not many in them.

    Relying on these weapons alone does not pose much of a threat to the Japs¡¯ fighter planes!

    After all the troops arrived, Li Guoyao immediately ordered people to call the commanders of these air defense regiments. He wanted to have a good talk with these people.

    Ten minutes later, more than a dozen relatively young officers appeared in Li Guoyao's headquarters.

    At this time, the temporary military headquarters of the 61st Army was full of generals, including Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai, Ma Desheng, Zhang Tengjiao, Xie Baojun and others.

    Seeing such a general at once, the air defense regiment commanders were a little nervous.

    After everyone arrived, Li Guoyao said immediately: "You are all the main force in the air defense operations in Wuhan City, and I have been ordered to take charge of the air defense affairs in Wuhan City. Therefore, from now on, you will all be under my command. Now I want to know who you are."  The situation of each department, and when you give the report later, let¡¯s talk about your own situation first, let¡¯s start with the person on the right!¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, the thirty-seven-year-old lieutenant colonel officer on Li Guoyao's right did not dare to neglect, and immediately stood up and said: "Reporting to the commander, Zhu Haoming, a humble officer, lieutenant colonel commander of the 3rd Hubei Air Defense Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army, Huangpu Army Military Academy  Graduated from the seventh infantry class."

    Then Zhu Haoming continued: "Our regiment currently has 875 soldiers. It has two air defense battalions under its jurisdiction. It is equipped with two German anti-aircraft guns, 4 anti-aircraft machine guns, 6 Maxim heavy machine guns, and 12 Czech light machine guns.  The position is located near the Xishan Barracks."

    After listening, Li Guoyao said noncommittally: "Next!"

    The next person who stood up to report was a young man in his twenties with a baby face. It was obvious at a glance that his family was in good condition. If he took off his military uniform, many people would think of him as a rich man.

    "Reporting to the commander, Xu Youyan, who holds a humble position, is the former battalion commander of the air defense battalion of the National Revolutionary Army Tax Police Corps. He is currently the major commander of the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters Air Defense Guard Corps. He graduated from the eighth artillery section of the Huangpu Army Officer School. Our regiment currently has 1,238 soldiers.  , equipped with 12 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 18 anti-aircraft machine guns, and 21 ordinary machine guns. The position is located on the south side of Wuhan Ferry."

    "continue!"

    "Reporting to the commander, Zhang Jianyong, a humble officer, is the lieutenant colonel commander of the 5th Hubei Provincial Air Defense Regiment, and graduated from the sixth military police department of the Huangpu Army Military Academy. Our regiment currently hasIt has 975 soldiers and three air defense battalions. It is equipped with 5 German anti-aircraft guns, 5 anti-aircraft machine guns, 9 Maxim heavy machine guns, and 22 Czech light machine guns. The position is located near the shipyard.  "

    "Reporting to the commander, Huang Fengtian, who has a humble position, is the lieutenant colonel commander of the 4th Hubei Provincial Air Defense Regiment, and graduated from the sixth engineering department of the Huangpu Army Military Academy. Our regiment currently has 1,222 soldiers and has three air defense battalions under its jurisdiction, with a total of German-made equipment.  There are 6 anti-aircraft guns, 2 anti-aircraft machine guns, 8 Maxim heavy machine guns, and 32 Czech light machine guns. The position is located near the east gate."

    "Reporting to the commander, Zhou Ke, who has a humble position, is the lieutenant colonel commander of the air defense regiment directly under the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters. He graduated from the sixth artillery section of the Huangpu Army Officer School. Our regiment currently has 922 soldiers and has three air defense battalions under its jurisdiction, equipped with a total of anti-aircraft guns.  There are 4 machine guns, 8 Maxim heavy machine guns, and 13 Czech light machine guns. The position is located near the city hall."

    "Reporting to the commander, Luo Ce, who has a humble position, is the commander of the 7th Air Defense Regiment directly under the Wuhan Garrison Command of the National Revolutionary Army. He graduated from the 11th artillery section of the Baoding Army Officer School. Our regiment currently has 735 soldiers and has two air defense battalions under its jurisdiction.  Equipped with 8 Maxim heavy machine guns and 11 Czech light machine guns, the position is located near the flour mill."

    "Reporting to the commander, Hou Zhendong, who has a humble position, is the lieutenant colonel commander of the 1st Hubei Air Defense Regiment. He graduated from the seventh infantry section of Huangpu Military Academy. Our regiment currently has 835 soldiers and has two air defense battalions under its jurisdiction, equipped with Maxim heavy machine guns.  9 Czech light machine guns, located near the south gate."

    ?¡­

    After the commanders of the nine regiments explained the situation of their units, Li Guoyao frowned and said: "Your nine regiments have a total of 7 lieutenant colonel officers and two major officers, with 8,476 soldiers under their jurisdiction.  There are 38 anti-aircraft guns of various calibers, 34 anti-aircraft machine guns, 96 Maxim heavy machine guns, and 258 Czech light machine guns, and this is also the last reliance on air defense for millions of people and soldiers in Wuhan!"

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "To be honest, I am very disappointed. When Chief Li told me that there were nine air defense regiments in Wuhan, I was actually very happy. I thought there were only 10,000 people in the 9 air defense regiments.  Above, but now it seems that I overestimated your strength."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the baby-faced Xu Youyan immediately said: "Sir, in fact, each of our regiments were temporarily organized from machine gun battalions transferred from the rear area, and after the formation was completed, they were directly assigned to the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters.  He is in command, but he is only responsible for allocating some supplies and ammunition to us. During the battle, he has to listen to the notification from the Aviation Commission. If the troops are lost, there is no one to replenish them, so the battles are getting smaller and smaller."

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "From now on, each of your regiments will be under the command of me, Li Guoyao. According to my estimation, if you want to defend the airspace of Wuhan City, you will need at least six fully-organized air defense regiments, so I will give you a  All troops will be reorganized in a unified manner, do you have any objections?"

    Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, all the officers of the air defense regiment present fell silent.

    Although they also knew that after the army was transferred to Li Guoyao's jurisdiction, Li Guoyao would definitely take some actions, and would even intervene in the personnel appointments of the army and place his own people in the army.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As an emperor, no one can trust an army to be put in charge of an unfamiliar person. What should we do if this guy does not obey orders at the critical moment, and what should we do if he obeys the orders in secret?

    This kind of thing is too common in the national army, and Li Guoyao is still the commander of a motley army, but now he has to command many direct members of the Central Army. It would be abnormal if he did nothing.

    But they never imagined that Li Guoyao would directly reorganize their troops. This was no small move, it was clearly a major change of blood.

    For a moment, there was silence in the 61st Army Headquarters. Everyone was worried about their own fate, and their anxiety was palpable!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
