Chapter 293: The Soldier's Turning (Part II)

Zhang Xuewu wanted to use troops against the Kwantung Army on a large scale in order to deal with the decisive battle in Central China, and this was a strategic decision, and the attention and public opinion of the whole country were focused on the Sino-Chinese armistice talks in Shanghai, and the aggressiveness of the Chinese side also made the Wuhan side feel greatly humiliated, but the so-called nine-nation pact organization was a fair and coordinated posture, saying that it was coordination, but in fact it was all for the use of various countries in China, and we would see if we could take this opportunity to reap more unexpected gains.

This is the real purpose and inside story of the so-called international mediation, and the countries of Europe and the United States do not oppose the start of a war between China and the United States, because China and the two countries are not big industrial exporters in the true sense, and since a large-scale war is being waged, a large amount of consumption is required, and it seems that old weapons from both Europe and the United States and the Soviet Union have a place to go, and they can also be bought at a good price, and China has also become a testing ground for new weapons in various countries.

What the European and American countries really oppose is that they want to monopolize China's interests, because China has been reduced to a semi-colony and exporting country of Europe and the United States for nearly a century, and China's open-door policy is the basic article set by the League of Nations and the Nine-Power Pact. What would it look like? I'm afraid that's all there is to the end of the Bible, right?

Nanbu Ichiro's camel team was abandoned as early as three kilometers away, and the camel bell on the camel had long been lost, and in the open Gobi, the camel bell could be transmitted more than ten miles away, which Nanbu Ichiro was also very clear.

Qin Buer couldn't sleep, and Qin Buer, who had been fighting with Ma Fanghua for many rounds in a row, found that what was said to be with a woman was physical work? I'm very tired after I finish it, it's all fucking light! Why is Lao Tzu getting more and more energetic? An unprecedented dragon spirit and tiger fierceness made Qin Bu'er feel like he couldn't run out of energy.

However, Qin Buji, who knew this, had already thought that it was not to completely annihilate the assault troops of the army, but how to go back to explain to Zhang Xuewu that he had an extra bandit wife, and persuaded his wife to hand over the more than 20 boxes of things dug up in the drinking horse camp to the public, and Ma Fanghua, who seemed to have a special stubbornness for private property, this was the biggest challenge that Qin Buer faced.

From Nanbu Ichiro's subordinates stepped on the first mine, the fate of Nanbu Ichiro's Sakura Commando was decided, and the cherry blossoms were so fragile to get to this sandy desert Gobi, didn't they find their own death?

In the blazing fire, Nanbu Ichiro watched in despair as his men were slaughtered, and the opponent fired six or seven blockade lines with only light and heavy machine guns, and the large-caliber mortars that roared to the ground were like devils urging life, taking away several lives each time, and scattered from the air with stumps and broken arms.

The sniper fire from both sides completely suppressed the only heavy firepower of Nanbu Ichiro, two Type 92 heavy machine guns and four 60-mm mortars, and more than 20 corpses of the commandos fell near the mortar position, half of them were gunners, and the other half were the commandos of the Japanese army who were trying to snatch the guns back.

After ten minutes of futile resistance, the Hound all-terrain wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle began to sort, Nanbu Ichiro raised his pistol in despair, as a special operations expert trained by the empire for many years, Nanbu Ichiro was sent to Germany for further study, and the Sakura Commando Team was originally formed to deal with the special forces of the Rehe Corps, but it was put into operation in less than ten weeks after it was hastily formed.

Lack of necessary weaponry, lack of intelligence support, lack of effective supplies, lack of coordination and necessary training among the team members, for most of the team members, whether it is a submachine gun or a semi-automatic rifle, they are still a little jerky to use, all this seems to have verified his original worst intentions?

It's finally come to naught! Nanbu Ichiro knows very well that whether it is the base camp, the military department, or even the staff headquarters, they do not all support the formation of such expensive and expensive small troops, and in the eyes of many army generals, this is simply a waste, and the most taboo thing in the empire is unwarranted waste.

Nanbu Ichiro did not hesitate to shoot himself in the head, and the body fell to the ground with a pop, and the remaining dozens of commandos also launched a decisive attack, or learned from Nanbu Ichiro to shoot himself in the head.

The record of five to one hundred and twenty-nine made Qin Buji exhale deeply, after inspection, it was really said that he had done it himself, these people wearing American-style steel helmets and holding M1 Garand semi-brake rifles and MA1 Thomson submachine guns, wearing military uniforms and military boots that were different from ordinary military units, were obviously a well-equipped assault force of the Yue Army, and the word "total annihilation" made Qin Buer feel a lot more comfortable.

However, Qin Buer did not send a report to Zhang Xuewu, but took Ma Fanghua and all the results of the battle and went straight to Baotou, and submitted all the information and results to Chief Zhang in person, by the way, I am mentioning the two of us, Qin Buer is a conscientious master, Ma Fanghua feels that he has not looked away, it is useless for a man to be beautiful, the most important thing is two, use ability and conscience.

Qin Buer submitted the entire process of the operation with apprehension, from tactical judgment to the provision of aerial reconnaissance information, the implementation of airdrop supplies, etc., all of which were explained in detail, and Qin Buer also gave a pertinent evaluation of the annihilated commando of the Yue Army, and he also asserted that he would definitely not be able to organize such a commando for a long time, and with the development of the railway line, the oil transmission channel of the Yumen Oilfield will also be changed from a car fleet to a train and railway transportation. However, during this time, a large number of drivers were trained for Zhang Xuewu by relying on cars to transport along the way.

As for the things that Qin Buer was most concerned about, Zhang Xuewu just waved his hand very casually and said: "Love is free, the past things are not to blame, and I am very interested in integrating the northwest horse bandit Zhang Xuewu, and the marriage of the couple also gave Zhang Xuewu a generous gift, Zhang Xuewu gave two of the boxes as a reward to Qin Buer and Ma Fanghua according to the principle of international treasure exploration, which made the rest of the generals have some thoughts, but Zhang Xuewu issued the order of the commander of the theater in time, that is, to carry out various forms of archaeological behavior rigorously, In particular, grave digging and robbing will be severely punished.

On November 11, 1937, the long armistice negotiations between China and China finally broke down in Shanghai, and although this result was expected from the beginning, neither side of the international community could have expected that this marathon negotiation would last for several months?

The two sides who have no sincerity have exchanged words and swords again and again, and finally! The patience of both sides has reached the limit, or rather, I am ready, their national strength and economy do not allow them to drag on this large-scale battlefield endlessly, and now my purpose is to capture Xuzhou and then attack Wuhan, coerce Changsha, let the Chinese political axe sign the alliance under the city, and withdraw its troops from the 10th theater to the south of the Yangtze River!

It can be said that the operational plan drawn up by the wartime base camp and the army and navy staff headquarters has become much more realistic than the previous Songhu and Nanjing, and for the first time, he has changed from a strategic perspective to a tactical one, and it is also the first time that he has conducted a large-scale review of the improper use of personnel, and has readjusted the candidates for commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, commander of the North China Front, commander of the Central China Front, and commander of the Kwantung Army.

With Toshiichi Terauchi as commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hahata as commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun as commander of the Central China Front, and Kenkichi Ueda as commander of the Kwantung Army, it can be said that his large-scale readjustment was completed as early as a month ago, and because of the strict secrecy measures implemented by the military side, all units of the Chinese army had already entered a state of combat readiness on 11 November, the day the talks broke down.

Zhang Xuewu looked at the frequently transferred positions and names of the senior generals of the Yue Army, and also felt a little uneasy, a new opponent means a new way of fighting, a new tactic, and he himself is not all rigid-minded people, such as Terauchi Shouichi and Hata Shunroku, Tada Jun and other opponents, are very difficult to deal with! Most of the generals of the army are best at tactics, they like to personally command small-scale battles, and use precise tactics as a way to show off.

Zhang Xuewu likes those strategically stupid generals of the Yue Army, such as the stupid His Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko of the Xianggong who lost his head, such a strategic idiot is very rare, blindly trying to capture the urban area of Nanjing, while Jiangbei, which Zhang Xuewu is most worried about, has basically not been disturbed by the large army of the Yue Army.

But obviously that kind of good talk is gone, Terauchi Shouichi as the commander of the Chinese dispatch army, and his coordination of the subordinate North China and Central China two front armies, whether it is Hata Shunroku or Tada Jun is a difficult role, and there is a lot of seniority Terauchi Shouichi is in command, and it is not a big problem for Hata Shunroku and Tada Jun to cooperate together.

According to the plan for the decisive battle in Xuzhou, the 24th, 25th, 36th, 37th, and 40th Divisions of the Fifth Army of Okamura Ninji were attached to the 6th Tank Brigade and the 7th Heavy Artillery Brigade as the main force of the Central China Front to attack and advance along the southern section of the Jinpu Road.

With the 51st, 55th, and 56th Divisions of the Umezu Mijiro Eighth Army and the 5th Brigade of Heavy Artillery under the 5th Brigade of Heavy Artillery, the Itagaki Seishiro troops that landed in Qingdao were flanking the main force of Han Fuyu's headquarters in Shandong, and the Central China Front Army was equipped with the 3rd Division, 6th Division, 9th Division, 16th Division, and 101st Division with the 2nd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade. Then, with Okamura Ningji's Fifth Army as the main force, the 6th Division and the 16th Division were strengthened to directly break through the blocking attack of [***] and attack Xuzhou.
