Chapter 362: The Morning Parade (I)
Zhang Xuewu paused slightly, and waited for all the reporters to look at him with doubts on their faces, before he said leisurely: "Since the beginning of the Rehe Army, all our people should have the decision of the corresponding national government to resist the war, regardless of the north and the south, and the people of all ages, all have the responsibility of resisting the war and defending the land!" It has been more than four years since the 10 th Theater implemented the reserve system, and a total of 2.9 million strong men and skilled workers have been trained, 20 million people, and our theater can form more than 100 divisions at any time, so next time it will not be the Kwantung Army attacking with all its might, but the battle of liberation in which our army will recover the three northeastern provinces. ”
In the midst of an exclamation, Zhang Xuewu made a gesture of invitation to many reporters and celebrities: "My 10th Theater Tiger Division is stationed in Chaoyang, ready to make corresponding preparations for the implementation of the next battle plan, I have notified Major General Xu Guohui, the commander of the Tiger Division, to give you a simple battlefield parade, which also shows the courage of our Chinese soldiers, saying that Kou will impose the war on us, kill our brothers, parents and uncles, annihilate my sisters, and destroy my homeland!" It is unbearable or unbearable, when one day, the flames of war are burning at the foot of Mount Fuji, and now he said, what he did in the rising sun, when our army stepped on Mount Fuji, he said that he would let him do the extermination of people's surnames in China hundreds of times, thousands of times, and even kill all the people on the island at the expense of my own reputation, in exchange for the eternal stability of the nation, this is worth it! It is also the limit of the glory of soldiers. ”
Zhang Xuewu's words made the pens of many reporters in the audience tremble slightly, because what Zhang Xuewu said was not a massacre, but a massacre of national extermination, although Zhang Xuewu was not the ruler of the national political axe, but the military strength he possessed was absolutely not to be underestimated, Zhang Xuewu was able to use a new type of poison gas that could not even be protected by a gas mask on himself, and even bombed Tokyo, the capital of the city, and attacked the important research department of the Kwantung Army, so that the sky of the entire Manchukuo became the backyard of the Air Force of the Tenth Theater of Operations, These are all military strengths, and for five years since the bloody battle in the winter of 1933, Zhang Xuewu's pace of military expansion has not stopped for a moment, and there is a tendency to get faster and faster.
Zhang Xuewu previously declared that the 10th Theater had implemented the reserve system for more than four years, and that a total of 2.9 million strong men and skilled workers had been trained, 20 million people, and that the 10th Theater could form more than 100 divisions at any time. So much so that this time the Kwantung Army suddenly attacked the Baotou Industrial Base, and he directly completed the final assembly from the production line of the base factory and directly entered the battle, and temporarily formed the headquarters of the Third Armored Division, annihilating the Kwantung Tank Division in one fell swoop, and crushing the only mechanized division of the Kwantung Army and capturing most of it.
Zhang Xuewu has never made intimidation in terms of tactics and strategy, and every time Zhang Xuewu's so-called revenge will be unprecedentedly fierce, before the Kwantung Army had ambushed and attacked a residential area near Chaoyang in Rehe, slaughtering more than 500 soldiers and civilians.
Zhang Xuewu's actions caused at least 10,000 casualties, more than 2,000 buildings were destroyed, more than 100 farms were burned, and more than 100 trains were blown up.
As the so-called strong does not need any excuses, Zhang Xuewu has always been like this, if he says that he is unscrupulous and inhumane, then it is very appropriate, because Zhang Xuewu is a guy who is full of warlord atmosphere through and through, and Zhang Xuewu is also a beast, a beast that will be avenged, for all those who have hurt him, Zhang Xuewu has always been an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Facing the women and children cleaning up the wreckage on the ruins, Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and said: "The price of peace is endless blood and life, the blood and life we pay here, but I can only say that this is only a beginning, come and not be rude, now the morning sun is tomorrow called Tokyo!" ”
Xu Guohui's Tiger Division is the strongest force in Zhang Xuewu's 10th Theater of Operations, and due to successive battles, the main force of the Youth Army's new divisions has been increased to 20 divisions, so the number has dropped to a dangerous establishment of less than 15,000 new divisions in each Youth Army, but there are still 200,000 recruits waiting to be replenished to the troops in the 45 new training centers throughout Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan, and the new divisions of the Youth Army formed by Zhang Xuewu are all four brigades, of which three brigades are infantry brigades and one brigade is a mechanized brigade. The tank regiment and armored infantry regiment under the jurisdiction of the brigade, the artillery regiment under the division are equipped with a 105-mm howitzer battalion and two 75-mm mountain artillery battalions, and the engineer battalion, automobile battalion, machine repair battalion, antiaircraft artillery battalion, armored reconnaissance battalion, cavalry battalion, and anti-chemical battalion directly under the division.
The division was reorganized after the war, and it was a behemoth formed by five brigades, with three motorized infantry brigades, one mechanized brigade, and one tank brigade, and the division was a 150-mm heavy artillery regiment, a mobile rocket artillery regiment, a 100-millimeter howitzer regiment, a light cavalry armored reconnaissance regiment, an antiaircraft artillery battalion, an anti-chemical warfare battalion, a mechanized battalion, an automobile battalion, an engineer battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a guard battalion, and a field hospital. In particular, the tank brigade, which is equipped with 45 iron cavalry medium main battle tanks, 80 jackal light tanks, and 40 self-propelled guns, was specially granted to the Tiger Ben Division by Zhang Xuewu.
After the small military parade was held on the edge of the steel cemetery outside the east city of Chaoyang, and after reporters from various countries and members of the celebrity condolence group were seated, Xu Guohui rode in a "Fox Hound" ultra-light armored assault vehicle and came to Zhang Xuewu at a gallop and saluted and said: "Report to the commander, all 38,975 people of the Tiger Ben Division have arrived, please read it!" The commander of the parade, Major General and Division Commander Xu Guohui! ”
Zhang Xuewu also returned the salute neatly: "The parade begins!" ”
