Chapter 151 German-Equipped Independent Division

After Gu Wenxuan had dinner.

He was about to go back to Peking.

He and Rodby left 100 million dollars for military expansion.

In addition, he also stole several large boxes of old US dollar and British pound banknotes from Citibank in Tianjin. He did not count how many there were, but estimated that there were no less than 100 million ocean banknotes.

Looking at Gu Wenxuan who was leaving in a hurry, he asked me to show the money in his hand and in the cardboard box.

Luo Depei and Yao Xinghua looked at each other for a while, and then they said in unison: "Lao Luo, I'm afraid we have met the God of Wealth!"

"Old Yao, I'm afraid we have met a god of wealth!"

Yes, ever since they met Gu Wenxuan, their hard-pressed days seemed to have turned around in an instant.

Not only did Gu Wenxuan lead them to victory, he also gave them so much money. They had never even dreamed of such a good thing before.

Luo Depei said: "Since our Gu brothers have given us so much money, let's quickly expand our troops!

Now we have money and equipment, but what we lack most is people. Only with people can we have strength. Otherwise, no matter how much money and equipment we have, they will be taken away by others. Don’t you think so? Lao Yao! "

Yao Xinghua nodded in agreement:

"Lao Luo, you are right. Let's quickly set up the banner to recruit soldiers!"

The Sichuan Army Independent Division was happy, but the Japanese Army's commander, Taro Matsui, looked frustrated.

After daybreak they cleaned up their losses.

The Japanese and Imperial Army lost more than 1000 people, including more than 300 deaths and more than 1200 injuries.

They saw that more than 30 trucks of their motor battalion were all gone, and more than 20 mountain cannons were also missing. They were probably stolen by the hateful Chinese troops. Because it was dark, they didn't know how many people the Chinese troops had dispatched.

They only estimated that this time the Chinese army was definitely not weaker in manpower than their own troops.

But Matsui Taro was puzzled. Are there so many White Party troops nearby? And their artillery fire was so fierce last night. It is definitely not weaker than the strength of a division.

Taro Matsutsumi thought about it and thought that maybe the White Party and the Red Party fought together last night, otherwise he would not have lost so badly.

He said that the White Party and the Red Party had their reasons for fighting together, because they used mine warfare, which was obviously the Red Party's way of fighting.

Matsui thought for a while and felt that there didn't seem to be much chance of success if he attacked Heping Town again.

But with so many casualties, if he retreated like this, he would definitely be scolded by the division commander. It would be better for him to attack an area controlled by the White Party nearby.

It seems that Yang County is the most profitable place to fight recently, and the defenders of Yang County are from the White Party, with a number of about 1.

The strength of their Japanese army is not much different from that of their own coalition forces, but their Japanese army's fighting ability is no match for the White Party.

Just do it! Matsui Taro gathered his troops and headed towards Yang County.

The battle that took place in front of Heping Town last night was known to the troops from several nearby directions.

Some people in the troops knew that the Sichuan Army had a fierce battle with the Japanese Army last night, and they actually won. Everyone found it incredible.

The Sichuan Army, which usually acted like beggar soldiers, fought so well this time.

Some people say that the Sichuan Army was supplied with a lot of equipment by a mysterious person.

I heard that this mysterious person’s code name is the God of Wealth.

This man called God of Wealth not only brought a large amount of equipment to the Sichuan Army, but also gave them a lot of funds, paying off all the wages that the Sichuan Army had previously owed them.

Moreover, the number of Sichuan troops has now increased several times compared to before.

Some people are not convinced:

"Of course, with money and equipment, recruiting soldiers and buying horses shouldn't be a simple matter, right?

There are refugees everywhere now. As long as we have food and clothes, it is easy to recruit soldiers!"

"That's right. They used to look down on everyone in the Sichuan Army. When they came last year, even Yan Laoxin didn't want them! Now they are really lucky!"

Some people also stood up to speak up for the Sichuan Army.

"Don't underestimate the Sichuan Army. They are so poorly equipped and have no supplies, but they have persisted in our place for a year. If it were you, you would have run away long ago!"

When it comes to the Sichuan Army's fearlessness of death and their endurance of hardship, others have nothing to say, and no one can refute this!

However, there is actually a division of people stationed in Yang County, and this division is an authentic division.

It is not the independent division of the Sichuan Army, it is just a name. Of course, it will definitely be a real independent division in the future, but now it is the independent division of the Sichuan Army.

There wasn't even a brigade of people.

The Matsui Brigade marched towards Yang County with great momentum. They were determined to get back at Yang County for the humiliation they had suffered in Heping Town.

Principal Jiang’s direct troops from the mountain city are stationed in Yang County.

It is said that this is an independent division of the 33rd Army Group. Legend has it that it has about 1 soldiers and is fully equipped with German equipment.

The combat capability of this independent division equipped with German equipment should be the strongest within a radius of 100 miles.

Because the Chinese troops stationed in this place were either ragtag troops from the mountain city or guerrillas of the Red Party, their military strength was not very strong.

The independent division commander of the 33rd Army Group was named He Guoguang.

This He Guoguang is not very old, about 25 or 26 years old, and is said to have graduated from a military academy in Germany.

He has a powerful background, and is said to be a relative of a big shot in the Ministry of National Defense.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be the commander of an independent division with German equipment in his 20s. With his ability, it would be difficult for him to even be a company commander.

He garrisoned Yang County with an independent division of more than 1 people equipped with German weapons.

He has been stationed here for more than a year and has not fought any major battles!

Of course, he never fought a serious battle with the Japanese army.

The Japanese army felt that Yang County did not have any major strategic purpose, so they did not attack Yang County.

He fought several small battles, all with the Imperial Army. Of course, with his German equipment, fighting against the Imperial Army was a piece of cake.

How could the poor equipment of the Imperial Army be compared with the German equipment? So he won a few small victories, which made him even more arrogant and looked down on other colleagues' armies.

When he woke up this morning, he heard that many people were talking about the fact that the Sichuan Army and a Japanese regiment fought all night last night, and it seemed that the Japanese regiment had suffered a minor defeat.

He sneered: "Can the Sichuan Army fight the Japanese with those broken guns? I guess they are exaggerating the facts just to save face.

I'm afraid they had some minor battles with the Imperial Army!"

But he didn't wait long before he encountered something that made him extremely unhappy.

The Matsui Regiment, which had suffered a defeat, was moving towards Yang County. What were these Japanese trying to do?

You can’t even defeat a broken independent regiment of the Sichuan Army, and you still want to fight my German-equipped division of more than 1 people?

I think these Japanese have a lump in their brains and can't understand the situation in front of them.

This is what He Guoguang was thinking at this moment.
