Chapter 491: A Distinguished Guest's Visit
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Okamura knew that what Takeshi Fujiwara said was the truth.
After the Botian detachment suffered heavy losses, even if the rest of the troops wanted to block the Tiger Ben regiment from entering Hunan Province, it was completely too late in time.
At that moment, Okamura Ningji gritted his teeth and said reluctantly: "If the Tiger Regiment successfully enters Hunan, the imperial army can only stop the pursuit, rest first, and then plan to follow." ”
Okamura Ninji may be on top, but he is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't use his brain when he encounters things.
The Battle of Wuhan not long ago, although it ended in the victory of the Japanese army.
However, in this battle, the Japanese army encountered unprecedented resistance, and the casualties were only heavier than the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Jinling, and the Battle of Xuzhou.
Especially in the battle of Wanjialing, obviously without the participation of the Tiger Ben Regiment, they were also defeated, which made the Japanese army feel uneasy.
In addition, as the battle line is lengthened, the supply of materials is becoming more and more difficult.
The battlefield shifted from the plains to the mountains, and the role of modern equipment such as tanks of the Japanese army was relatively weakened.
Moreover, in the previous battles, Japan lost the most elite troops.
Although the Japanese army recruited and replenished the troops on the mainland afterwards, the quality of the Japanese army at this time had declined to a great extent compared with the period of the Battle of Songhu.
On the other hand, after several major battles, the quality and morale of Chinese soldiers have been greatly improved.
When I saw the cruelty of the little devil and experienced the feeling of being ruined, my determination to protect my family and defend the country became more and more firm.
Most crucially, friction between Japan and the Soviet Union has become more and more in the Tohoku region.
A big war could break out at any time.
At this time, the Japanese army did not dare or was unwilling to continue a large-scale battle with the Chinese side.
At the moment, we can only focus on safety.
The encirclement and suppression of the Tiger Ben Regiment was also launched against this background.
Therefore, if the Tiger Ben Regiment successfully entered Hunan Province, the Japanese army could only stop the drum first, and then try to follow up after the opportunity was right.
And the current order to pursue at all costs is nothing more than Okamura Ninji's last tenacity.
……
The final result was exactly as Fujiwara Takeshi expected.
The remnants of the Botian detachment have long been unable to contain the Tiger Bun Regiment, and the rest of the troops? It also failed to arrive at the predetermined position before the Tiger Ben group entered Hunan Province.
The "annoyed and angry" Okamura Ninji ordered? Let the attacking forces face the country in front of them. After several night raids, a truce was ordered.
Afterwards? Shigeichi Harata naturally became the culprit of this incident.
In Okamura Ninji, Kawabe Shozo? And Shunroku Hata and others deliberately contributed to all the charges? It's all added to the unlucky guy of Juichi Hata.
……
After Yang Jing led his troops into Hunan Province, he did not retreat? Instead, they settled in Liuyang, 80 kilometers east of Changsha.
Because he knows it well? The Japanese army will not die, or it will not be long before they will gather troops to attack Changsha.
And the Tiger Ben Regiment held Liuyang in order to act as an outpost when the Battle of Changsha broke out.
……
Time is fleeting? Soon half a month has passed.
In the meantime? The Tiger Regiment successfully returned to Hunan and inflicted heavy losses on the 6th, 13th, and 106th Divisions of the Japanese Army and the Botian Detachment.
Countless citizens took to the streets and ran to tell each other? to celebrate the triumph of the Tiger Regiment.
Strengthened the national army. The army's confidence in the victory of resistance against Japan.
In addition, Guan Zhidao, Sun Fanglu, Liu Ruming, Wei Shidong, Xia Chuzhong, Luo Youqing? As well as Li Delin, Bai Jiansheng and many other countries who are friendly with Yang Jing, or have fought jointly with the Tiger Bun Regiment. Senior generals of the army? Congratulatory messages were sent one after another.
And, of course, the old man? That is, President Chang.
In the meantime? Are there countless patriotic youths? Came to the Liuyang Tiger Regiment to join the army enthusiastically.
Patriots from all over the country, as well as patriotic overseas Chinese, also donated materials one after another.
These days, Zhao Hong, the commander of the baggage battalion, is very busy.
……
With the expansion of the troops.
The Tiger Ben Regiment also entered the intensive training again.
Especially when Yang Jing personally made a flag of the first battalion in the world, saying that after three months, the training results of each battalion would be tested, and which battalion had the best training results would be able to obtain the flag.
Bi Yuntao, Fan Tietou, as well as Chen Lin and Liu Yue, all went crazy and personally led their troops to conduct training.
Even the battalion commander of the artillery battalion was not far behind, and in addition to the training subjects of artillery, the training subjects of the infantry such as shooting, stabbing, and cross-country with heavy loads were also added.
The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Regiment are training like devils day after day, although they are miserable, but their physical fitness, as well as various techniques and tactics, are also improving rapidly, and they can feel that their mental outlook is very different from yesterday almost every day.
If it is a soldier of other troops, it is really not possible to withstand this level of military training.
However, the tiger group has a lot of money and can eat fresh vegetables, fruits and meat every day.
Coupled with Yang Jing's scientific training and food matching, there is no need to worry about nutrition not keeping up.
Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime!
Yang Jing has always adhered to this iron law, and he would rather the soldiers be abolished on the training ground than die on the battlefield.
Therefore, in the face of the competition-style devil training of each battalion, Yang Jing not only did not stop it, but maintained an encouraging attitude.
From time to time, he would fan the flames in the middle, and even use cigarettes and inflatable daughters-in-law as temptations to stimulate the training passion of the soldiers.
It was noon that day.
Yang Jing was inspecting the training of the soldiers at the school grounds.
Wang Dali, the deputy head of the regiment, suddenly ran over from a distance in a hurry, and reported with a smile: "Tuanzao, there are distinguished guests visiting. ”
"Guest?" Yang Jing was a little surprised: "Who is it?" ”
Wang Dali said: "I don't know, it was brought by Camp Commander Guo." ”
"Battalion Commander Guo is back?" Yang Jing said: "Let's go, let's go back." ”
After speaking, Yang Jing took the lead towards the regiment headquarters.
……
"Tuanza!"
"Tuanza!"
In the compound of the regimental headquarters of the Tiger Ben Regiment, the two guards saw Yang Jing coming, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Yang Jing nodded, crossed the gate, and headed towards the courtyard.
"Is Captain Yang back?"
In the living room, a man wearing a major general's uniform and a Chinese character face put down the teacup in his hand and stood up from his seat.
Guo Shaoqing, who was next to him, also hurriedly stood up.
As soon as Yang Jing walked into the courtyard, he saw the middle-aged young general and Guo Shaoqing.
He stepped into the living room, briefly looked at the person in front of him, and after making sure that he hadn't seen it, he smiled and said, "Camp Chief Guo, there is a distinguished guest visiting, why don't you introduce me to it?" ”
"Tuanza, this is ......"
As soon as Guo Shaoqing spoke, he was interrupted by the middle-aged major general's raised hand: "Presumably, this is the head of Yang Jingyang, who is famous all over the world, killing the Japanese army in fear and having trouble sleeping, right?"
Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager!
It is really a blessing for the party and the country and the nation to have a young hero like Captain Yang in China! ”
