Chapter 198: Southeast Asia
Chapter 197 International Situation
The Guiding Security Regiment is under the jurisdiction of the Duyun Garrison Command, and the head of the regiment is named Li Le.
At this time, Li Le was anxiously waiting in his regiment headquarters, and the final result came out from the waiting county office.
Seeing eleven people coming alone, they immediately greeted them.
He knew the person in charge, it was the eldest son of the county magistrate, and he knew the same rank of captain.
"Captain Rao, please tell me something."
Li Le did not choose anything else, but chose to be called by military rank, which was prudent.
Rao Xiangyun said directly: "The dedication county office ordered the special reorganization of the security regiment."
Li Le didn't say a word, and immediately took Rao Xiangyun to receive the troops.
Five days later, Zhang Ziwen received a telegram.
The Japanese army began to attack on the 28th, and the 5th Division and the Taiwan Mixed Brigade carried out a frontal attack on the line of the Kunlun Pass at the peak pass.
The 18th Division and the Guards Mixed Brigade were divided into Liangqing, Qitang and Binyang through Gantang and Nahe.
After three days of hard fighting, Qiu Qingquan was seriously injured, and Zhang Ziwen talked about sending him to Guiyang for medical treatment.
Bai Chongxi made a mistake in judgment, and the Guilin camp was not in charge of the war in southern Guinan.
On February 1, Zhang Fakui, commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations, took over from Bai Chongxi to command the Guinan operation.
Even Zhang Fakui, a veteran, failed to stop the Japanese army.
The Japanese army captured Binyang and recaptured Kunlun Pass on the 3rd.
On the 8th, Wuming was trapped, because Lao Chiang continued to increase his troops, and the Japanese army began to retreat on the 9th.
The 18th Division of the Japanese Army was transferred back to Guangdong, and the 5th Division, the Guards Mixed Brigade, and the Taiwan Mixed Brigade were organized into the 22nd Group Army, which was stationed in Nanning, Qinxian, Fangcheng and its outlying strongholds.
The Chinese army took advantage of the situation to pursue and successively recovered Binyang, Wuming, Kunlun Pass and other places.
After that, the two sides confronted each other.
Three months later, March moved into Dushan.
Another fifteen days old pole with the third battalion to Libo.
In July, the Japanese army captured Longzhou.
In September, the main forces of the Japanese 21st Army entered Vietnam one after another.
In October, the 16th and 35th Group Armies of the Fourth Theater (a total of 6 divisions) took advantage of the situation to launch a counteroffensive and successively recovered Longzhou, Nanning, and Qinxian. Regained Zhennanguan (now Youyiguan), expelled all the Japanese troops from Guangxi, and the battle ended.
This is what Zhang Fakui said to Lao Chiang, but the real situation is that the Japanese army turned its guns and cast the shadow of war on Southeast Asia.
On the last day of the 40th year, he vigorously took the four battalions to Luodian.
By the time of the Spring Festival of another year, Zhang Ziwen had already sat down with Wan Hu to eat.
The two talked about the most sensational event of the year.
It was not Kunlun Pass, but the Battle of the Hundred Regiments in a bloody battle for two months.
From 1937 to 1940, most of China's territory had fallen, but the Japanese army had less than two million troops, how could it help China's vast occupied areas.
As a result, all kinds of guerrilla units and anti-Japanese coalition forces rose up one after another, standing on the same anti-Japanese united front with the National Revolutionary Army and the Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese army built its own occupied area, which was full of loopholes, so it decided to sweep its own occupied area.
Another reason for this is that the Japanese army is pushing to Southeast Asia to gain more industrial raw materials.
At this time, Japan had begun to appear to be a little stretched, and invaded China to get a large amount of gold, but could not get enough industrial raw materials.
In order to consolidate its rule in the enemy-occupied areas, the Japanese army and more than 300,000 heavy troops carried out a cage policy in North China, with railways as networks, highways as chains, and strongholds as locks.
The intention is to wipe out all Chinese troops in the occupied territories.
This time the battle was divided into three phases, the first stage was the Eighth Route Army, Zhengtai, Tongpu Pinghan, Jingpu and other communication points to launch attacks.
The Eighth Route Army used a variety of guerrilla warfare methods such as surprise attacks, bathing, and other guerrilla warfare methods to block and attack the Japanese army, destroying all major highways and major communication arteries in North China.
In the second stage, the Eighth Route Army continued to expand its successes, destroying enemy and puppet strongholds on both sides of the lines of communication and penetrating deep into the anti-Japanese base areas.
During this time, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region mainly carried out the Lailing Campaign,
The 129th Division mainly fought the Yuliao Campaign, and the 120th Division mainly attacked Tongpu Road.
In these battles, the Eighth Route Army dealt a heavy blow to the enemy.
As a result, the 300,000 troops of the Japanese army in North China were completely dragged down, and the Japanese army's plan to go south to Southeast Asia was ruined.
After the autumn harvest, the Japanese army began to slow down and began a large-scale sweep of the following forces in North China.
This is the end of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments.
It's not that Wan Hu didn't receive this report, but compared to the blood of Kunlun Pass, this victory came too suddenly.
Gui system, because of the battle of Kunlun Pass, Bai Chongxi's improper command has greatly damaged his vitality.
At this time, there was another victory that was too big for Chairman Chiang to accept, and the Gui family lost the right to speak.
This is the main reason why he can sit here and talk with Zhang Ziwen.
"Brother Zhang, don't talk too much, just tell my brother, what should my brother do?"
Wan Hu's words revealed a deep helplessness, mixed with a feeling called relaxation.
In the days when he was across the river from Zhang Ziwen, Wanhu couldn't eat or sleep well, but now he is much more comfortable.
"Brother Wang, aren't you the commander of the garrison? You just have to do a good job of guarding. Where do you need me, a junior, to teach you? ”
Wan Hu took a glass of wine and expressed his understanding.
"Brother Zhang, you say, are the Japanese having brain convulsions? How could you give up Guinan? ”
Zhang Ziwen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm not Zhuge Liang, how do I know?"
Zhuge Liang, Bai Chongxi's nickname is Xiao Zhuge , Wan Hu is a little uncomfortable: "Why does Brother Zhang taunt me?"
Zhang Ziwen really didn't mean this, but in history, Zhuge Liang had the ability to predict the unknown.
"How dare I laugh at my brother? However, when it comes to the retreat of the Japanese army to the south, Guinan is abandoned. Dude, I have some news. ”
Wanfu also asked casually, but he didn't expect Zhang Ziwen to really know something, so he had to listen to it.
"Oh, what else does my brother have any news?"
Zhang Ziwen said: "I heard that the compatriots in Nanyang said that the Japanese army has now begun to march to Nanyang, and there are signs of launching a war in Southeast Asia.
And occupy each of Southeast Asia, Britain, France, and three countries. Except for the United States, which started as an arms dealer, the other two countries are now dragged by Germany.
The military strength of Britain and France in Southeast Asia is not ordinarily weak. ”
Wan Hu was even more incomprehensible, this old Jiang has been begging for British and French arms, Britain and France are there, and there are garrisons in Southeast Asia, how can it be said that his combat effectiveness is not strong?
Wan Hu initiated China, and the excellent tradition is to ask questions if you don't understand.
"Why do you say that the fighting power of Britain and France is not strong?"
This Wanhu really doesn't know at all.
"You don't know, brother, do you? The Anglo-French army has been defeated by the Germans in Dunkirk, and the British and Germans are across the Gilly Strait exactly as I am and you across the Sword River.
After September this year, do you feel that there are more cars in Duyun? ”
Wan Hu nodded, and Zhang Ziwen continued: "This is the reopening of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, it is estimated that this will, the British should think of a way for us to help them fight."
If you think about Britain and France, which were at war with Germany, where did the two countries still have the strength to deal with the Japanese? ”
After Wan Hu listened to what Zhang Ziwen said, he fell into deep thought.
