Chapter 388: Rushing to Guinan (Page 1/1)

The railway station next to Hengshan was tightly surrounded by the troops of the Fifth Army, and against the backdrop of tens of thousands of horses, the small railway station was like an isolated island, and groups of soldiers of the Fifth Army wearing gray cotton uniforms and German-style M35 steel helmets surrounded the railway station.

Inside and outside the station, there were soldiers of the Fifth Army who were preparing to board the train, or who were boarding the train, and it seemed very noisy.

The new 22nd Division was the last of the three divisions to set off.

In the transportation plan of the Fifth Army, the 200th Division of Division Commander Dai was the vanguard force, and the 1st Division of Commander Zheng and the new 22nd Division of Qiu Luozi were lined up behind, and the heavy equipment was given to the infantry by train, and the infantry troops were given priority to be transported.

The soldiers of the teaching brigade are resting and sleeping in the open space near the platform, even if it is broad daylight, Zhang Wei did not deliberately restrain it, the recent march, the soldiers are very hard, and when they reach Guinan, they will do it with real knives and guns, and they will turn a blind eye to the rest before the battle, and the training is important in peacetime.

Zhang Wei's soldiers are still very worry-free, they can sleep and rest with peace of mind, and they don't have to spend too much time looking at it.

While the other troops were waiting for the loading of the trains, they had been strictly arresting the deserters, and there were many people at the station, and the situation was rather chaotic, and some deserters found an opportunity.

First, the Fifth Army Special Service Battalion caught a few deserters outside the station.

As soon as the deserters came out, the divisions immediately raised their vigilance, counted the number of soldiers, and forbade the soldiers to move freely.

Trains depart one by one, and every time the train leaves, there will be a huge whistle, troop carriers, equipment vehicles, ammunition vehicles, material vehicles, and the railway station is rotating day and night.

The soldiers of the teaching brigade can rest, and the officers will not be idle, and the teaching brigade is a unit directly under the division, and the news from the division headquarters can generally be the first to be obtained; through the reports and orders of the division headquarters in the past few days, Zhang Wei and the squadron leaders have generally understood the military situation in southern Guinan.

In the sound of the train's whistle, Zhang Wei, Qiu Wei, Mu Chao, and Zheng Yiqun gathered around a map and discussed the battle.

The map is a topographic map of the southern Guinan region, and it is very rough to draw, it is a map from more than ten years ago, and I don't know who drew the map.

Compared with the detailed maps of the Japanese army that I have seen before, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, the map of the national army was determined by the government's surveying part, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions controlled by the central government could be measured more accurately, but Guangxi, Guangdong and other places had no choice.

The Gui faction, which is nominally subordinate to the local government, is in fact an autonomous warlord, and has repeatedly engaged in armed conflicts with the central government, and this kind of relationship of superficial harmony and in fact a semi-hostile state is destined to be inadmissible, and it is impossible for the central government to accurately survey topographic maps.

"This time I went to Guangxi to fight, it was a hard battle, and the brothers had to be prepared, especially because there are many mountains, and it is very likely that mountain battles will be carried out."

Although the map is not accurate, the rough contour lines and mountains, and the peak passes are still marked, and there are many mountains and hills, and the characteristics of the Gui army that are good at small-scale mountain operations are also related to this.

Many veterans of the Central Army who fought with the Gui army were deeply impressed by the ability of this group of "monkeys" to climb mountains and drill ditches.

"I understand, there are quite a lot of Hunan soldiers and Guizhou soldiers in our team, and climbing the mountain may not be as good as the Guangxi soldiers, but it is not bad." Qiu Wei said.

Mu Chao stared at the picture for a long time: "That little devil is going to Nanning, the devil is said to occupy the city, will they not use their firepower and car wheels to fight with us in mountain warfare?"

The Fifth Army headquarters would be briefed daily by the Military Commission on the movements of the Japanese army, and the headquarters of the New 22nd Division also had an information.

Because Zhang Wei had a good relationship with the division commander and deputy division commander, and because he nominally held the post of chief of the second section of the Operations Department of the New 22nd Division, Zhang Wei could get timely news every day, and the squadron leaders of the teaching brigade naturally understood the latest movements of the Japanese army.

Zhang Wei said: "If you look at the surroundings of Nanning, there are a large number of mountains outside the city, and there are mountains on both sides of the Binning Highway. ”

Zhang Wei pointed his finger around Guining: "It's all optimistic, the Japanese army wants to attack Nanning, wants to get rid of it, cut off the railway and highway, he wants to come over, we don't want him to come, the battle is going to be big, once the Japanese army and our army are spread, it will inevitably involve mountain warfare." ”

"There are a lot of dangerous mountains near Nanning, such as the peak pass and the Kunlun Pass, which are all important places, and it is not easy for them to exert their firepower and heavy weapons."

Zhang Wei's fingers fell on a dangerous area, surrounded by mountainous terrain, the terrain is dangerous, can control the Binning Highway, can also contain, control Nanning, can be and the surrounding one pond, two ponds, three ponds, four ponds, five ponds, six ponds, seven ponds, eight ponds, nine ponds These dense natural stronghold groups form a garrison system, which can be attacked and retreated.

Even on this map, it is extremely conspicuous.

The center of this dangerous area is called Kunlun Pass.

"But our heavy equipment doesn't work well either." He Jinhai, the platoon commander of the engineer platoon, said.

"That's right, the use of tanks directly under our army will be greatly restricted, and the Fifth Army is also a heavily armed force, so there is no way."

The inconvenience of the use of the heavy equipment of the Japanese army in large-scale battles was a good thing for most of the participating armies, but it was also a double-edged sword, and the heavy equipment of the Fifth Army would also suffer, and in mountainous conditions, both maneuvering and attacking were problems.

Take Kunlun Pass as an example, the front and east and west sides are all mountainous and hilly terrain, and the chariot has to climb slowly to advance when it goes up.

The Fifth Army has no experience in the large-scale use of combat vehicles, and this first use is a problem.

After Zhang Wei discussed the issues he paid attention to and the general tactical objectives of the Japanese army with the officers, the rest of the matter was to prepare for the upcoming fierce battle.

"This battle is the first battle after the teaching brigade becomes an army, and everyone should pay attention to it, and a bloody battle is inevitable."

"Make more preparations, let the brothers be prepared to climb the mountains and cross the ravines, and the engineer platoon will have more blasting canisters for mountain warfare."

Zhang Wei looked at He Jinhai, mountain warfare, heavy firearms are not easy to transport and use, and the more portable equipment such as blasting canisters, the better.

In mountain offensive and defensive warfare, many equipment cannot be used.

The Fifth Army was very efficient in the state of expedited transportation, and the 200th Division and the 1st Honor Division took most of the day to complete the shipment.

The New 22nd Division was the last to get on the train, and the Teaching Brigade and the troops directly under the division shared a train with the worst wooden cars, and in the afternoon, the Teaching Brigade and the New 22nd Division, as the last combat units of the Fifth Army to get on the train, boarded the train to Guinan.

At the division headquarters, the troops directly under the division were in the front, and the four regiments were in the rear.

The whole army did not stop on the road, and all the food, drink, and lazar of the troops were carried out in the train, and all food and drinking water were distributed to the soldiers who boarded the train, which showed the urgency of the situation.

In the precarious battle situation in the direction of southern Guizhou, the Fifth Army, the sharp blade in the hands of the Military Commission, rode from Hunan and galloped towards southern Guizhou.
