Baldy Jiang took the initiative to withdraw the 500,000 troops stationed in Yiling, and then let Li Zhongren quickly rush to Sanqin to defend.
Even though he had yet to make any clear statement, everyone knew that he was planning to move the capital again.
In Baldy Jiang's opinion, as long as he was in charge of Sanqin and Tongguan, he could send his troops south at any time.
This was the first reason. Secondly, before moving the capital to the mountain city, Baldy Jiang had already been in the Three Qin lands for three years.
The third reason was that the land of Sanqin was located in the plains and deep within the territory of China. It had convenient transportation and a certain modern industrial foundation. Although it had to face the bombardment of the Japanese invaders, the air force under Baldy Jiang was not completely useless.
The fourth reason was that in history, the land of Sanqin was the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, and it was also the place where the totem of China was proud of.
In short, compared to the southwest, Baldy Jiang was more willing to use the land of Sanqin as his capital.
If he could unify the southwest, Baldy Jiang was not willing to waste money and manpower. However, after the Sichuan and Yunnan armies became independent of the national government, Baldy Jiang felt extreme panic and unease in his heart.
The complex topography of the southwest region had hindered the advance of the Japanese invaders, and at the same time, it had limited the combat ability of the Central Army.
Therefore, if he could not enter Shu Capital this time, Baldy Jiang really did not want to continue wasting time with Liu Zheng.
Another reason was that Baldy Jiang wanted to use the land of Sanqin as the center to limit Liu Zheng's power while controlling the hinterland of China.
Liu Zheng didn't care what Baldy Jiang was planning. In any case, his intention was very obvious. He wanted to unify the southwest and then lead the Sichuan army out of Shu to conquer the lost mountains and rivers.
The next day, the whole of Shu Capital was talking about Bald Man Jiang's despicable behavior.
Because of Bald Man Jiang's actions, the anti-Jiang frenzy among the people of Shu City became stronger and stronger.
At the same time, everyone in China who knew about this news angrily condemned,"Old Jiang is useless, useless!"
Even if he was scolded, Baldy Jiang would accept it because this was an order given by him personally.
More importantly, Baldy Jiang had not regretted his actions.
The next day, when the sky turned bright, Liu Zheng arrived at the 8th division.
Last night, Liu Zheng had decided to recruit 400,000 soldiers in order to prepare for his future trip to Shu.
There were currently close to 60 million people in Shu City. Not to mention expanding 400,000 soldiers, even 2 million soldiers would not be a problem.
"Cousin Liu, has Old Jiang really withdrawn the 500,000 soldiers stationed in Yiling?”
"Not only that, but that guy also ordered all the fortifications to be destroyed, leaving not a single bullet or grain!”
"F * cking Old Jiang! "If there's a chance, I really want to kill him myself…" Yun Duo's cousin, Ahu, said with a face full of anger.
"Yunduo, have you adapted to the life of a female special forces unit?”
"Instructor Tang is too amazing. She mentioned many combat ideas and concepts that I didn't even dare to think of before. Moreover, the way our comrades get along is different from the Yunnan Army. The comrades here firmly believe that they will help their comrades block the bullets behind them when they go to the battlefield. Everyone's morale is high, and Yun Duo has never seen or heard of it in his life…"
Hearing the information mentioned by Yun Duo, Liu Zheng thought to himself,""Not good, I brainwashed Long Deng's daughter. I wonder what Long Deng will think after he finds out?”
"Tiger, go and tell Senior Brother Ma and the others that this battle is also the first battle of the Wolf Fang Special Assault Team!”
"It's the marshal!"
Knowing that he was about to go to the front line to fight, Tiger was so excited that his face was filled with joy.
"Then, Cousin Liu, what about our women's special forces?”
"Don't worry. Yiling is only the first stop. There's still the Battle of Star City. At that time, your female special forces will definitely come in handy…"
After leaving the clouds, Liu Zheng went to find Tang Wu and the other leaders of the 8th division.
During Liu Zheng's absence, Tang Wu and Tang Feng handpicked every position from the platoon leader to the platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, and all the way to division commander.
The 8th Army was like a seed. As long as they existed, every soldier of the Sichuan Army would slowly transform.
"Zhang Kui, step forward…"
"Pa ~ Please instruct me, marshal…"
"From today onwards, your 149th Division will immediately reorganize their weapons and equipment. After obtaining the RPG7 rocket launchers and ammunition from Project 001, they will immediately set off for Yiling and arrive at their destination within 5 days.”
"I promise to complete the mission!"
"Alright, you can leave first.”
After Zhang Kui left, Liu Zheng began to discuss the recruitment with everyone.
Liu Zheng planned to divide the 400,000 new recruits into 40 divisions and station them in the 10 wealthier counties in Shu City. Finally, the core members of the 8th Army would act as military instructors and ideology instructors.
The training period was expected to be as long as six months, and half a year later, he would be pulled to the front line to hone his skills.
This way, the food and other living supplies that Liu Xiang had gathered for Liu Zheng could only last for two to three years at most.
If Liu Zheng could ensure the safety of Yiling, then with the abundant food resources in Northern Hubei, he could feed 800,000 Sichuan soldiers.
After making the necessary arrangements, Liu Zheng returned to Chengdu.
What shocked Liu Zheng was that the commander he had his eyes on, Duan Zhongyi, actually volunteered to join the Sichuan Army.
After Duan Zhongyi was captured, the Juntong agents tried to take him back to the mountain city from the Yunnan-Myanmar highway. Coinciding with the uprising of the Dian Army, Liu Yue secretly sent out the intelligence personnel from Thorny Rose to rescue Duan Zhongyi and then brought him back to Chengdu at full speed.
He had just returned to Chengdu today. Duan Zhongyi did not even bother to visit his family. Instead, he went straight to the Governor's Office to look for Liu Zheng.
After hearing Old Jiang's order to withdraw the 500,000 soldiers stationed in Yiling, Duan Zhongyi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Everyone knew the importance of Yiling, but Old Jiang did not play by the rules. If the Sichuan army could not hold Yiling, the southwest would very likely become a second Jinling.
Every time he thought of this, Duan Zhong Yi couldn't help but be furious.""That damned Old Jiang is really blind!”
