In the early morning of the 6th day of the 7th month of the 15th year of the Republic of China, on the third day after the revolutionary government issued the "declaration", 60,000 troops silently gathered outside the capital city.
This was the pre-war mobilization meeting of the Dian Army. After today, the six divisions would be deployed to various battlefields.
Some fought a decisive battle with the revolutionary army in Fuzhou, some confronted Zhou Xicheng, Liu Xiang and others, and some repelled foreign barbarians outside the border.
Looking at the Yunnan soldiers who had even changed their uniforms, the six division commanders beside Cai Rui suddenly had their eyes lit up. They finally understood why their Young Marshal was so determined to change.
"As expected, clothes make the man, and horses make the saddle. This is what the Southwest Yunnan National Defense Guards should be like.”
Cai Rui looked at the army field suits worn by the Dian Army soldiers and couldn't help but think.
And the facts proved that he was right to choose the German Type 36 military uniform from World War II as the standard military uniform of the Yunnan army.
As a classic military uniform produced by the German army in 1936, the Type 36 Army Field Service was both aesthetic and convenient for combat. It was far from being comparable to the military uniforms of the current period.
If the soldiers of the old warlords were to be compared to the soldiers of the current Yunnan Army, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the soldiers of the old warlords were like country bumpkins in front of the Yunnan Army soldiers who were wearing greyish-green field uniforms, black boots, and steel helmets.
The Dian Army soldiers below seemed to have noticed their commander's gaze. They raised their chests very high, wanting to show their best side to Cai Rui.
Cai Rui saw this.
Therefore, after nodding approvingly, he took a step forward and asked the 60,000 Dian soldiers below.
"I don't like to talk about the pre-war mobilization. I only want to ask you one thing. Who still remembers the slogan of our Yunnan army?”
As soon as Cai Rui finished speaking, some of the soldiers from the 74th Brigade suddenly smiled.
In the next moment, under the surprised gazes of the recruits, the sixty thousand Dian Army soldiers spoke in unison.
"The Dian Army is awesome. I'm the best in the world!”
The ex-soldiers of the 74th regiment shouted out their words more than once, causing the new soldiers who were still stunned to echo them.
"The Dian Army is awesome. I'm the best in the world!”
"The Dian Army is awesome. I'm the best in the world!”
“······”
His voice rang out over and over again, echoing throughout the entire capital city. When everyone calmed down, Cai Rui replied to them.
"We can win this battle, but we can't lose. In this battle, we must show the might of the Dian Army!”
"Listen to my order, all troops, move out!"
With this order, the 60,000 Diannan soldiers began to march in all directions. Cai Rui turned around and looked at the division commanders. He saluted them.
"Everyone, I'll leave the rest to you. If we win this battle, the Dian Army will be invincible!”
After saying that, Cai Rui and Li Yunlong looked at each other, then led the 1st Division to the southwest direction of Rivertown, which was close to the south of England.
In the future, the 1st Division would stay in Jiang City for a short period of time to replenish their supplies. Then, they would head to the town between MDT and YR to fight the YF coalition forces 'mixed combat brigade at the Nanhang River.
Looking at Cai Rui leaving, Zhou Yuan asked Chu Yunfei, the commander of the Eastern Front, in confusion.
"Commander Chu, why does the Young Marshal insist on leading a division to fight the Anglo-French allied forces? Wouldn't that cause them to fall into a bitter battle?”
Upon hearing Zhou Yuan's words, not only Chu Yunfei, but Wang Jiaben, Fang Chen, Lu Han and the others were also attracted by his words.
" Because the young marshal wants to win fair and square. He wants to use a satisfying, crushing battle of annihilation to tell the imperious countries and the people in the country that the army of the Celestial Dynasty is not weaker than anyone under the same system!”
"He wants to prove to the world that China cannot be humiliated!”
After answering everyone's questions, Chu Yunfei looked at Wang Jiaben and Zhou Yuan.
"Bring your troops and we'll set off for Fuzhou!”
"Since the young marshal is fighting the enemy abroad, we will help him annihilate the enemy at home and tell the major warlords in the country that the Dian Army is invincible!”
A cloud of dust rose as Chu Yunfei got into the jeep that the guards drove over and followed the vanguard of the Yunnan army.
Liang Jiang Battlefield, Northern Army Headquarters.
Not long after Cai Rui led his army out, Jiang Gong, who had been paying attention to the movements of the Dian Army, received the battlefield layout of the Dian Army.
"Young people shouldn't be too young and impetuous. It's fine if he used two divisions to deal with Li Lin's 5th Army, but he used a single division to deal with an enhanced mixed combat brigade with all British and French weapons. How can he win?”
Jiang shook his head. He was not optimistic about the future of the Dian Army.
Right at this moment, He Yingqin, who was his battle advisor, walked in.
"Vice-chancellor, Li Ren's Seventh Army and Tang Zhi's Eighth Army are advancing towards Changsha. Wu Fu's army will be on the lookout and unable to launch an effective attack.”
"Li Ji's 4th Army is also advancing along the east bank of the Xiang River. They have already taken down Liuyang and were stopped in front of the Miluo River defense line built by Wu Peifu.”
He Yingqin, the commander of the First Army, asked Jiang Gong as he held the folder.
"Then pull your First Army up. I want to break through the Mi River defense line in half a month and reach Han City in early August!”
"Right, transfer those last troops up. Although I don't like their ideology, the combat strength of the troops they lead is still worthy of praise!”
Speaking of this, Jiang Gong thought of the Huangpu students who carried him and retreated during the Eastern Expedition. Unfortunately…
"I understand, I will bring the 10th Division, 12th Division and Ye Ting's independent regiment up! Let them break through the tough Mi River defense line!”
