Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update of the Super Anti-Japanese War System!

As we all know, in the magnificent and fourteen-year-long Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan made the greatest contribution among all the provinces in China.

Of course, because China's national strength was weak and its weapons and equipment were not comparable to those of the island countries, Sichuan's losses were very large.

If I have to describe it, Sichuan's losses were also the greatest in China.

This loss includes casualties and a large amount of material consumption.

Even at the most difficult moment of the all-out war of resistance, all Sichuan people had to tighten their belts to provide a large amount of food and grass for the front line.

The most important thing is that one after another, Sichuan people who revealed a childish atmosphere had to step onto the battlefield before they had done much recruit training.

For this reason, countless Sichuan people fell on various anti-Japanese battlefields.

It must be said that Sichuan people went out of Sichuan to fight, not just to join the Sichuan Army.

Many Sichuan soldiers were active in various anti-Japanese forces.

In fact, because of these situations, there is a famous saying that everyone agrees with:

It's very simple, that is, there is no army without Sichuan!

Of course, most Sichuan soldiers are still active in various Sichuan troops.

Among the countless Sichuan troops, the one that made the greatest contribution during the All-out War of Resistance is the 20th Army of the Chinese Army!

As the old saying goes, brothers look at each other from the wall, and defend against insults from the outside.

This sentence is also suitable for the 20th Army.

Before the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, this unit often fought with other Sichuan troops and suffered heavy losses.

However, when the All-out War of Resistance broke out, like other Sichuan troops, the 20th Army also smiled at its former opponents and let go of their grudges.

Immediately afterwards, they joined the All-out War of Resistance in a hurry.

Unfortunately, because of the participation in the long-term melee, the strength of the 20th Army had to be greatly reduced.

When they decided to go to the Songhu area to participate in the Songhu Battle, the troops were reduced to a Type B army.

The most important thing is that they lost a lot of weapons and equipment, which were already very ugly.

Each regiment had only four pitiful mortars.

And each infantry company had only three light machine guns.

Even in the unit called the machine gun company, there were only two heavy machine guns.

Obviously, apart from these so-called heavy weapons, the rest were ordinary rifles.

However, most of these rifles were low-end.

They were mostly made in Sichuan, with a high damage rate and a very short range.

Even though the army commander Yang Sen made various efforts, only 30% of all the rifles in the army were slightly better Hanyang rifles.

And the more accurate Zhongzheng rifles were almost not equipped in the entire army.

It is conceivable how passive the 20th Army would be when it wanted to deal with the Japanese who were armed to the teeth.

What makes people lament is that the 20th Army suffered extremely serious losses in the Battle of Songhu alone.

In this battle, more than 3,000 people of the 20th Army were killed, more than 7,000 were injured, and hundreds were missing.

In other words, the 20th Army lost most of its troops.

If I have to describe it, when they withdrew from the position and handed over to other brother troops, the whole army was left with only one regiment of troops.

A Type B army was beaten into a regiment after a bloody battle.

To be honest, no one else had such a tragic battle except the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army.

In fact, this also fully shows how strong the fighting will of the 20th Army was in the Battle of Songhu!

In a word, in order to fight against the devils, the 20th Army took human lives to fill it!

What makes people give a thumbs up is that the 20th Army’s weapons and equipment are so poor, but because of its strong fighting will, the results are very brilliant.

After the war, according to statistics from the Chinese Supreme Command.

The results show that among the more than 100 divisions participating in the war, the 133rd Division of the 20th Army ranked 11th!

In fact, it was precisely because of its outstanding military exploits that the 20th Army enjoyed special treatment after the war.

After the war, under the order of the Chinese Supreme Command, the remnants of the 20th Army came to Anqing for rest.

After arriving in Anqing, after coordination, a large number of Sichuan recruits were urgently deployed.

The key point is that under the care of the Chinese Supreme Command, the weapons and equipment of the 20th Army have been upgraded.

Each infantry regiment has added a mortar company.

Each infantry battalion has added a heavy machine gun company.

And each infantry company has six Czech light machine guns.

The Hanyang rifle, which originally accounted for only 30%, has been popularized throughout the army.

In addition, both the military headquarters and the division headquarters are equipped with a small team responsible for communication.

Although the weapons and equipment have been greatly improved, the entire army is mostly composed of recruits.

In fact, even many grassroots officers have only been promoted recently.

In fact, these grassroots officers are the only veterans left after the Battle of Songhu.

Most of these veterans were ordinary soldiers during the Battle of Shanghai, and had never been officers.

Naturally, if the 20th Army wants to have a certain combat effectiveness, it will take some time for training.

Otherwise, once it is put into the battlefield, it may suffer even greater losses than during the Battle of Shanghai!

Because he is familiar with the history of the Anti-Japanese War, Ye Tian knows all about these situations.

In Ye Tian's mind, although the 20th Army has added a lot of weapons and equipment, it is still far inferior to the devils.

Even a random traitor army has better weapons and equipment than the 20th Army.

What's more, even in this case, the weapons and equipment of most Chinese troops are stronger than the 20th Army.

It is really too inconsistent for a military unit to not even have a field gun or a mountain gun.

What's more, even the number of mortars, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns is pitifully small.

The weapons and equipment are very poor, but what worries Ye Tian the most is that the troops have too little food and grass.

In fact, during the Anti-Japanese War, even the best-equipped elite troops of the government army could only eat two meals a day.

The key point is that the quality of these two meals is very poor and they can't be full.

In addition, tomorrow is December of the Gregorian calendar, and winter has already arrived.

Naturally, the weather is not ordinary cold.

However, the uniforms and beddings in the 20th Army are still summer equipment.

Among them, straw sandals for summer are still the standard equipment of this army.

They are not well fed, not warmly dressed, have very poor weapons and equipment, and are still resting intensively.

In this way, the 20th Army must be ready to participate in the battle at any time.

Thinking of this, thinking that the Battle of Nanjing will start tomorrow, Ye Tian is very anxious.

Time is tight and the task is heavy.

Ye Tian thought about it and found the 20th Army overnight.

Then, rush to the vicinity of Nanjing as soon as possible to participate in the national war.

In order to save time, Ye Tian had to use a big move.
