The national army is divided into the central army and local miscellaneous troops.
After the commander came to power, his strength was limited. Facing the melee of warlords and the encroachment of little devils, he had to adopt a dual strategy of wooing and suppressing warlords. Their military power maintains their long-term rule.
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Central Army under the commander had 37 divisions.
而杂牌军的数量远高于中央军，如川军有23个师、10个独立旅，西北军有16个师、11个独立旅，晋军有11个师、26个旅。
However, in the face of national justice, the Central Army and the miscellaneous army fought against the enemy bravely and became the backbone of the resistance against the Japanese aggressors.
Under the complicated current situation, there has been a situation where the commander is the leader and several warlords are the assistants.
The Central Army cannot conquer the whole world, and has to rely on miscellaneous troops to serve it.The central army and the miscellaneous army constitute the main body of the national army, complement each other, integrate with each other, and are indispensable.
At the beginning of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Central Army was unable to support itself, which provided the survival soil for the miscellaneous troops.
Under the attack of the Japanese army, although the Central Army had a large number, they lost more than they won on the frontal battlefield, and their strength was insufficient. Often, 10 divisions may not be able to defeat a Japanese division.
The joining of the miscellaneous army strongly supported the Central Army's war against Japan.
For example, the Sichuan Army dispatched more than 350 million officers and soldiers, accounting for 1/5 of the total number of anti-Japanese troops dispatched nationwide.During the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan Army killed 263911 people, injured 356267 people, and lost 64 people, which played a vital role in reversing the unfavorable situation on the frontal battlefield.
Zhao Gang said: "The Honorable First Division is a direct-line army. Originally, the number of the Central Army was not large, and there were even fewer direct-line troops. Now the commander directly sent the Honorary First Division of the Central Army to Xinkou!"
"This shows that the commander attaches great importance to this Xinkou battle!"
Li Yunlong nodded: "Although it is said that the commander is the boss, in fact it is only a superficial unity."
"Many miscellaneous armies are divided by warlords, and the central army is even rarer after the war. Especially the direct line troops, the commander is a treasure!"
The formation of a motley army is inseparable from the protection of local powerful factions.
On December 1928, 12, Zhang Shaoshuai, the leader of the Feng faction entrenched in the Northeast, announced the "change of flags in the Northeast", and the government of the Republic of China realized "formal unity".
At that time, baked rice in various places was divided into one side, supported by soldiers and self-respect, and each formed a system.
For example, the Jinsui Army is like this.
In 1917, when Yan Laoxi was the military governor, he only had one division in his hands.
During his 38-year tenure, his forces spread throughout the four provinces of Shanxi, Chahar, Hebei and Sui, as well as the two cities of Pingjin and Tianjin. He vigorously developed industry, agriculture, finance, transportation, mining, education, etc., and his economic strength expanded rapidly.
With economic support, Yan Laoxi implemented four military expansions. In 1930, the Jin Army expanded to 10 armies, and its number increased from more than 7000 to more than 20. ", even the commander is deeply afraid.
On the surface, the Commander's family dominates, but in essence, he is just the "leader" of a military alliance formed by the Central Army and local warlords, and he is incapable of rooting out (Zhao Dehao) the miscellaneous army.
The local power faction supports the development of the motley army, and the motley army consolidates the position of the local power faction.
The central army and the miscellaneous army stand side by side, and they are biased against each other, causing the former to regard the latter as cannon fodder, while the latter does not work hard. The two have serious differences and contradictions, which divide the overall strength of the army and weaken the combat effectiveness of the army.
Therefore, in order to maintain his own strength and rule, the commander has always cherished Xin very much for the Central Army.
Now they have arranged for the Honor First Division to come to Xinkou to cooperate in the battle, which shows that the commander attaches great importance to it.

Chapter 523 The commander attaches great importance to it: fully cooperate with the independent reorganized regiment to fight! (Second update, please subscribe)
The Honorary First Division of the Central Army is the elite of the direct line of troops, and its combat effectiveness must be very strong.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the Central Army must surpass the motley crew. Neiji Okamura said that the core of Jiang’s battle is not the 200 million local motley troops, but the anti-Japanese will of the Central Direct Army mainly composed of young officers from the Whampoa Military Academy system.
In the 22 major battles of the Anti-Japanese War, the main force was basically the Central Army.
There are a few of the miscellaneous troops with relatively high combat effectiveness, such as the 7th, 48th, 60th, etc., but most of them have relatively low combat effectiveness.
Because in terms of weapons, supplements, logistics, military pay, etc., they cannot be guaranteed normally.
The so-called elite must be a well-guaranteed army. With good weapons and good things, they are basically direct descendants.For example, the main German weapon division, 36,87,88, 74, 5 divisions and so on.The 2th, 1th, and 6,18nd armies of the Soviet Union, and the new [-]st, [-]th, and [-]th armies of the American Armor.
Good equipment, good remuneration, priority in logistics, and priority in recruiting healthy recruits are the fundamental factors for Jiang Jun to ensure the combat effectiveness of his direct troops.
The Honorary First Division of the Central Army is definitely one of the strongest direct line units of the Central Army.
Now that the first division of honor is here, Xinkou is indeed very lively.
Generally speaking, regardless of direct lineage or miscellaneous troops, Jiang's army has fewer elites and more underdogs.
The main reason is that this is not a modern army, but more like an enhanced version of the Jiading army.
The related generals get more resources, and the unrelated generals get less and less resources.
The result is a forest of hills and fragmented use of resources.
Therefore, the entire army cannot plan and improve the combat effectiveness of all troops at all. It can only allow each general to cultivate his own troops according to the amount of resources, and the resources that each general can master can only allow them to cultivate a few elites.
In this way, the result of fewer elites and more underdogs is doomed.
The honorary first division is considered to be the best among the elite troops.
Li Yunlong tidied up his military uniform, and said loudly: "Go, go and see this honorary first division!"
Afterwards, the two came to the living room.
As soon as he entered the living room, Li Yunlong saw a few people wearing central military uniforms standing there. One of them was the rank of major general, so he should be the head of the regiment.
After traveling to this parallel world for such a long time, Li Yunlong is basically suitable for dealing more with the Jinsui Army and less with the Central Army.
This should be regarded as the first time dealing with the Central Army.
Li Yunlong walked over, looked at the regiment leader, and saluted: "Hello, I am Li Yunlong, the leader of the independent reorganization regiment!"
The head of the Honorary First Division looked Li Yunlong up and down for a moment, then saluted and said, "Hello, I am Zheng Guo, the head of the Honorary First Division."
"I've always heard about Captain Li's prestige, but seeing him today, it's really extraordinary! Hahaha!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Who laughed, Captain Zheng?"
"Seeing that Commander Zheng is also a combat hero with hundreds of battles, I should learn from you!"
This was originally Li Yunlong's polite words.
In fact, Zheng Guo is really not simple.
On January 1903, 1, Zheng Guo was born in a peasant family in Shimen County, Hunan Province.There are more than 13 ancestral houses in the family and 10 acres of fields.His father, Zheng Dingqiong, worked as a farmer and a tailor.His mother, Chen Yingjiao, had 30 children, Zheng Guo ranked last.
Zheng Guo started reading "The Analects of Confucius" and other books under the enlightenment of his father at the age of 7, and later entered a private school in the country, where he was familiar with "Four Books" and "Five Classics".
This year he (affg) was 14 years old, but because he had no foundation in Western learning, his studies were once quite difficult.In the winter of that year, he obeyed his parents' orders and married Qin La'e, a girl from the neighboring village. After marriage, he had a daughter and two sons. The relationship between the couple was very good.
He felt that the country's situation was changing day by day, and since then he set up his ambition to join the army, hoping to revitalize the country by force.
In the spring of 1921, Zhao Hengti, the military governor, set up an army lecture hall, and Tang Rongyang, the governor of Lizhou, specially set up an examination room in Shimen to recruit students. Zheng Guoxin went to take the examination, was admitted, and went to Changsha to report.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the warlords of Hunan and Hubei provinces were fighting in a scuffle, Zhao Hengti's army was defeated, and the Hunan Bureau was in chaos for a while, the army lecture hall was forced to close down, Zheng Guo returned disappointed and returned to Shimen Middle School.
The following year, he graduated from Shimen Middle School and taught in Moshi Township Primary School.In order to make a living in the future, he went to Changsha again in 1923 to be admitted to a commercial school.Because of his kindness, hard work and excellent grades, he is deeply loved by the head of the group.
In 1924, he passed the examination under someone else's name and became a student of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy.In October of the same year, he participated in the battle to quell the rebellion of the reactionary business group and served as a guard. In November, the first phase of Whampoa graduates ahead of schedule.
In other words, Zheng Guo was a student of the first phase of Whampoa.
This is actually nothing to brag about, after all, there are not many students in the first phase of Whampoa.
But Zheng Guo is different.
In 1933, Zheng Guo led his troops to participate in the Great Wall Gubeikou Anti-Japanese War. After the 1937 Incident, he successively led his troops to participate in the Battle of Baoding, the Great Victory of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Wuhan, the Great Victory of Kunlun Pass, the Battle of Western Hubei, and the Second Battle of Changsha. , outstanding military exploits;
It can be said that this is a very powerful general.
Zhao Gang also saluted Zheng Guo, and then said: "Welcome to Head Zheng!"
Zheng Guo looked at the two of them, and then said: "Commander Li, Zhao Zhengwei, the purpose of me leading the Honorary First Division to Xinkou this time is very simple, that is, to follow the commander's order and come to Xinkou Cooperate with your independent reorganized regiment to fight, take Xinkou together, and recover Taiquan!"
Li Yunlong had a full smile on his face, and said with a grin: "That's really great. If the honorary first division of Captain Zheng joins us, then our chances of winning the attack on Xinkou will be higher this time." !"
The Honor First Division is a direct line unit of the Central Army, and its combat effectiveness will definitely not be too weak!
This is even more powerful!

Chapter 524 Generals Gather! (Third update, please subscribe)
The strength of the Honor First Division is an ordinary main division, with a number of about [-]!
In other words, the total strength of the independent reorganized regiment now exceeds [-]!
In terms of the number of troops alone, it finally regained a little advantage.
And whether it is the New Second Regiment, the Independent Regiment or the 358th Regiment, or the current Honorary First Division, these can be said to be the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army, and the Central Army, plus the combat troops of the Independent Reorganization Regiment , to win Xinkou, Li Yunlong is even more confident.
This time it is a strong alliance!
Originally, the little devil had three advantages, which were superiority in strength, superiority in terrain, and superiority in weapons and equipment-!
Now the advantage in military strength is gone - gone!
Because the Central Army, the Jinsui Army and other Eighth Route Army troops are reinforcing, the strength of the two sides is equal!
The same is true for weaponry advantages!
Now the independent reorganization group has four 88mm caliber anti-aircraft guns and two Tiger tanks. As long as these are played well, they can achieve the effect of four or two, and in the end they will catch the little devil by surprise.
Now the only advantage the little devil has is the geographical advantage.
Geographical advantages are more difficult to achieve.
It was also a headache for Li Yunlong.
next day!
Independent temporary division headquarters.
Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Zheng Guo, Zhang Dabiao, Lei Zifeng, Wan Shan, and other key military members from the Jinsui family, the Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army gathered at the division headquarters to discuss countermeasures for offensive operations. .
The attack on Xinkou this time is also a rare cooperation between the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, and the Jinsui Army!
It's the first time to cooperate in a tough battle!
When the little devils invaded Taiquan, the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army, and the Central Army also fought the Xinkou Battle in Xinkou, but they were resisting the enemy at that time, and now they are attacking.
If Chu Yunfei, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Zheng Guo and others led the troops to support Li Yunlong's independent reorganized regiment, then there is no doubt that the entire command power will be handed over to Li Yunlong.
They are also convinced of Li Yunlong's ability.
After all, he is a person who has won many battles.
Li Yunlong looked at the people present, and said loudly: "Military officers, I believe you understand that we will have a big battle here in Xinkou. We can't imagine the severity of this big battle."
"But we cannot avoid this battle. If we want to recover Taiquan, we must win Xinkou!"
"Okay, now let's get to the point!"
Li Yunlong pointed to the combat situation map on the desktop and said, "Everyone, look, we are now at Xinkou!"
Xinkou is located at the Duanque of Xinkou Mountain. It has always been the northern gateway of Xinzhou, and it is also a place that military strategists must contend for.
…
"You should also have a clear understanding of the terrain in Xinkou!"
Li Yunlong said: "Xinkou is a pass in the canyon of Wutai Mountain and Yunzhong Mountain. The terrain is very dangerous. Taking Jiehepu as the base point, the left side is the rolling Yunzhong Mountain, and the right side is the Wutai Mountain with overlapping hills. The gourd mouth of the basin."
"This kind of terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is very unfavorable for our offensive side! It means that it will be very difficult to fight in the future!"
Everyone present also knew very well that the next battle at Xinxinkou would be a big battle.
It was a fierce battle! !

In the Battle of Xinkou in 1937, the Central Army, the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army participated in the battle. They were the defensive side at that time, and they were finally defeated.
Three years later, in 1940, he fought again in Xinkou.
