Invincible Base of Anti-japanese War

Now to pass through Ning Province, there are two options for building a railway that can reach Long Province. One is to go all the way south to Tian-shui, and the other is to go through the southern end of the Tengger Desert and go around the desert to the north of Jincheng, which is Baiyin. area area.

There are two roads. Now we must choose a key point. The final key line is to bypass the southern end of the Tengger Desert. Although it is a bit more difficult to build a railway in this area, the reason is the problem of the desert.

But if you go directly to the south, it is also very difficult, because there are many mountains in Pingliang area, and they are basically in mountainous areas.

So that section is only cultivated slowly, and when the time is right, that section will be fully cultivated.

Leaving aside the progress of the railway, the No. 20 Infantry Division, after the troops handed over to the defense arrived, they also hurriedly set off on the road.

After the 19rd Armored Division and the No.20 Infantry basically repaired the road, the No.[-] Infantry Division moved significantly faster.

In just 2 days, the No.20 Infantry Division arrived at Pingliang, but the main force of the No.19 Infantry Division and the 19rd Armored Division had already gone south. Only one regiment of the No.19 Infantry Division went to Qingyang City in the northeast. A battalion of the No.20 Division who stayed here, they waited here to support the garrison troops coming up from behind.Seeing this appearance, the No.[-] Division did not stay here, and also chose to continue going south.

Now in the south, the No.19 Division and the Third Armored Division had to stop temporarily because of insufficient troops.

Waiting for the reinforcements to arrive before proceeding to the next step, but while temporarily stopping, they also began to clear up the surrounding bandits, and deal with some of the larger bandits first, as for the smaller ones, stay and let them go. The garrison behind will solve it.

Ask for flowers...for collection...

Chapter 85: Longdong Town

No.20 Infantry Division, after waiting for the follow-up troops, they also arrived at the Tian~Shui area, and joined forces with the No.19 Infantry Division of the Third Armored Division staying there. The officers gathered together to discuss what to do next.

As Tian~shui, the important town of Longdong is extremely important in this area, so it is necessary to leave a part of the army to garrison here.

Moreover, you can reach Sichuan by going south from Tianshui, and you can reach Guanzhong by going east. As for going west, it is the most important road leading to the northwest.

There is another important reason for the garrison here, and that is to guard against the defected general. The main force of the Northwest Army is now in Guanzhong, busy confronting Jiang Guangtou!

Most of the Longdong area is mountainous. Even though the mountains in some places are not particularly high, the roads are quite difficult to walk.

The urban area in the middle is actually two mountains with a river valley plain in between.The widest point from south to north may only be five or six kilometers away. If you want to defend such terrain, it is very easy.

Even if you want to bypass the line of defense, it's not so easy. A large army must have a relatively flat road. However, in the Longdong area, except for some relatively flat places, there are no roads that can pass through the large army. .

Not only the east-west road is like this, but also if you go south, the roads all pass through the bottom of the valley. It can be said that although this is a traffic hub, it is also a place with less developed traffic.

Especially now, the road here is even more difficult to walk.

In addition, the population density in the Longdong area is relatively high. In the entire Long Province, most of the population is concentrated in the area from Longdong to the Yellow River.

After crossing the Yellow River, the population began to thin out. Many places outside the Yumen Pass are Gobi Desert, which is an arid area, and the population there is even sparser.

Although the population here is large, the illiteracy rate here is also very high.The reason is that this place is a relatively poor place. From ancient times to the present, this place is not a place for scholars. Although the family has a little spare money, most of them will let their children go to private schools, but because the folk customs are more sturdy. The reason, the effect is generally not good.

What's more troublesome is that this is a relatively conservative place. Because of the deep inland, many things overseas have little impact on this place.So when the 19rd Armored Division and No.[-] Infantry Division took this place, it took a lot of effort.

Moreover, this is an area where the folk customs are relatively tough, and there are often fights and other things, and the reasons for the fights are often strange, and sometimes for trivial things, you have to fight shelf.

So they continued to stay here. This is also a place where the conflict between Hui and Han is relatively large. Although the ethnic problem is not as serious as the border areas, there are still some problems.

Of course, the main reason for the problem is definitely the Majiajun. Their narrow ethnic governance methods are basically reciprocal in the army, and the result is that the two groups exclude each other and kill each other.

This kind of problem gradually subsided after the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance.

In the conference room, there were not many people, a total of ten people, sitting on a round table, discussing with each other what?

What they want to discuss now is that the order passed down from the headquarters is to leave the main force of at least one division in the Longdong area.

After a period of time, there will be another Wei Xu division coming here to follow and garrison, and the entire southeast of Longdong will need at least four guard divisions.

Chapter 85: Longdong Town-->> (page 1/2),

After a period of time, there will be another Wei Xu division coming here to follow and garrison, and the entire southeast of Longdong will need at least four guard divisions.

In terms of the population here, it is actually not particularly large. After all, it is considered a large population. Although it is not comparable to some big cities, it is already the most populous place in the northwest region.

Speaking of the garrison, it should be said that it is the second-line army. Compared with the first-line field troops, there is basically no big difference in organization. The most important thing is that there are fewer heavy weapons, and the various organizations are slightly smaller. some.

The total number of people has dropped a lot, and it is a flexible tactical unit to deal with areas with relatively low threats.The biggest difference between them and field troops is not in equipment, but in personnel composition.

Among the field troops, the ratio between field infantry and conscripts is one to three. Of course, in the second-line army, the ratio can reach at least one to ten, so because of the large number, this type of armed structure cannot under too much pressure.

Therefore, they generally can only stay in low-pressure areas. After sufficient training and fighting, their combat effectiveness is actually not far behind that of the front-line troops.

The biggest is their division of labor. For example, in the island country in World War II, his army divisions were divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. At the same time, there were many independent mixed brigades. This is the reason.

For example, the reason why mixed brigades appear is that they are specifically aimed at guerrillas. The main reason is that the division of labor leads to their different organization and equipment, which affects their actual combat capabilities.

But the difference between the first-line troops and the second-line troops in the Chahar Army is only one designation, but this Weixu division will basically be transformed into a first-line army after this war is over.

As for the security forces, each region will set up its own security forces after it settles down.

The method of guarding the army is actually not bad. It has been implemented in Chahar for two years, and basically there will be no major problems.

In the end, after the three people discussed, the No.19 Infantry Division stayed here. Gu Han, the division commander of the No.19 Infantry Division, was the best at defensive operations among the three, and the No.19 Infantry Division's engineering team was one of the three. The most capable of all divisions.

And after a while, some troops will enter the Tibetan area, and it will be really troublesome at that time, so the project here is very important and must be repaired as soon as possible.

And even after the road is repaired, there must not be too many troops stationed in the Tibetan area for a long time. The life on the plateau is not something ordinary people can bear, and there is another logistical limitation.

Logistics is the biggest problem, and the air on the plateau is thin, and many weapons and equipment will cause problems here. For example, in the 21st century, the army on the plateau still uses Bayi-bar rifles because of the reliability of firearms?

There are many troubles on the plateau,

In addition to these problems, a series of problems such as the geographical environment have to be dealt with. The most important thing is that there is no sub-base on the plateau, so entering the plateau can basically be regarded as the last stage of this battle. .

The most important stage now is still to advance westward.
