[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 352: The Helpless King of Germany (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

The telegram for help from the Duolun defenders was soon sent to Xilinhot, and the Japanese army assigned Major General Suzuki Aokawa, the supreme representative of the puppet Mongolian Xinjiang United Autonomous Government, to immediately order the puppet Mongolian army to go south to reinforce Duolun.

After receiving a call from Suzuki Aokawa, King De was quite depressed, he originally thought that he had taken refuge with the Japanese to hug the meat thigh, but he didn't expect that the Japanese combat effectiveness was not as strong as he imagined, especially after facing the hateful Eighth Route Army, he simply became a soft-footed shrimp, and he was defeated repeatedly.

The Eighth Route Army that encircled and suppressed Chanan four times in a row, how could it be confident and confident before each battle? In just half a year, the puppet Mongolian army was wiped out 9 cavalry divisions, and the loss of more than 50,000 troops was lost.

The last time was the most dangerous, the Japanese originally wanted to take advantage of Ma Zheng's troops to go south to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, hoping to level their defense area in one fell swoop and solve the threat of the Tuba Road once and for all. As a result, the Japanese used almost all the troops they could use, even the cavalry group, and as a result, the cavalry groups of the Toudao Battalion and the Tiger Roaring Gorge were almost completely lost, and the two cavalry divisions that he had easily rebuilt were also put aside, and even he himself almost became a prisoner. If it hadn't been for the bad opportunity at that time, and Li Shouxin had withdrawn early, I am afraid that they would have been thrown into the prisoner of war camp by that group of Tubalu by now.

Fortunately, the Japanese still felt that they were useful afterwards and did not abandon them, and after fleeing back to his hometown in Xilin Gol, King De regrouped again and raised a large number of troops.

However, although the Japanese mobilized a large amount of weapons and equipment for him, and the Kuomintang prisoners. But compared with his previous old troops, the current army is far behind, mainly because there are too many Han people in it, and it is not easy to command at all.

What's more important is combat effectiveness, not to mention combat effectiveness, it's just too scummy. The soldier was okay. The main thing is the question of officers. The Nationalist Government has the Whampoa Military Academy and the Central Military Academy to train military personnel for the troops, and there are also the Northeast Lecture Hall and the Baoding Military Academy as supplements. The Eighth Route Army also had the Yan'an Resistance War and the military schools of various troops, although the speed of training officers was a little slower, but there were such institutions.

But King De had nothing, and his officers were mainly slowly cultivated through combat or by digging into the corners of the Northwest Army or other troops, and this time was almost completely consumed. For this reason, the Japanese deliberately transferred a large number of graduates from the Xinjing Non-commissioned Officer School in Northeast Manchukuo to supplement the puppet Mongolian army, so as to enrich the grassroots officers of the puppet Mongolian army.

In this way, King De and Li Shouxin obviously felt that their control over the troops under their command was getting weaker and weaker, and this time they heard that they were going to transfer three cavalry divisions south to reinforce Duolun. King De's heart ached, and he didn't know how many people he would lose this time. What's more, now there are only three divisions in Xilinhot City, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people, and now they are all transferred away at once, so what should the city defense do?

But the Japanese are now too emperor, even if he on his neck, he can only pinch his nose and endure it, not to mention that the Japanese mobilize the Mongolian army, even if he wants to, he can't stop it.

looked at Li Shouxin, who also had an ugly face. King De could only sigh and say, "Commander-in-Chief Li, don't be sad. We can't afford to provoke the Japanese, so we should notify them as soon as possible and let the troops assemble as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to eat and hang up if we go late. ”

"Hey, I don't understand this truth, but one division at a time is sent over one division at a time. When I came back, only half or a third of the soldiers remained, and sometimes not even one of them could come back, and I felt uncomfortable. Li Shouxin sighed and said.

This Li Shouxin can be said to be a steppe hero, the number one person in the puppet Mongolian army, and the number three figure in the puppet Mongolian government. This person had served as a battalion commander and regiment commander among the warlords of the Feng family. and also entered the Gadamerin uprising. Gadamerin himself was shot and killed in Hanoi by Li Shouxin's rifle while forcibly crossing the Ulim Nin River.

After the 918 Incident, he led the army to resist the Japanese attack, and served as the commander of the 57th Regiment under Cui Xingwu of the 9th Brigade of the Northeast Army in Rehe. Two years later, the Japanese army invaded Rehe, and Li Shouxin led his troops to surrender to the enemy. After the July 7 Incident, Li Shouxin took advantage of the situation in North China and became the commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army.

Li Shouxin is a soldier who is good at commanding battles, and at the same time knows how to judge the situation and judge the situation. He knew very well that only by mastering the gun could he straighten his waist in front of the Japanese, and of course he knew very well that he and King De had no way to retreat now, and could only go all the way to the black.

But as a low-level gangster who climbed up by bandits, he knew exactly where the power in his hands came from. That's why he had the emotion just now, he was not sympathetic to the soldiers under his command, but worried that once the troops in his hands were gradually exhausted, he would lose the value of being used by the Japanese, and who would take him Li Shouxin seriously at that time.

"How many men and horses do we have now, I'm worried that this time these three divisions will go south to reinforce again, and we will have to leave a seed for the troops." King De asked with a frown.

"Since the defeat in the last battle of Suiyuan, our old foundation has basically been exhausted, and only two regiments left in the army are left in the Suzuo Banner. In the past six months, we have formed 7 cavalry divisions and 2 infantry divisions, but most of them are empty shelves, and the total strength is less than 20,000. Moreover, more than half of them were formed by captives from the south, and their combat effectiveness was very poor. Li Shouxin said.

"That's all there is left, didn't the Japanese say that they would reorganize 10 integrated divisions for us, and there has been no movement so far?" King De asked again.

"Hmph, the Japanese are just perfunctory to us, 10 divisions are just a cover, since the end of the Battle of Datong, the Japanese have only sent us 2 divisions of weapons and equipment, all of which are broken copper and iron captured from the Songhu battlefield, which is a big gap with the equipment they use. And your brother doesn't have to think about any integrated divisions, a reorganized division has more than 10,000 soldiers, and the shelf division is only two or three thousand people, how can the Japanese raise an army of 100,000 for us. Li Shouxin said in a deep voice.

"Forget it, don't say these are useless, I heard that the Eighth Route Army sent more than 10,000 troops to besiege Duolun this time, and the yellow flag, the white flag, the Taifu Temple flag and the blue flag have been lost, we should send troops over as soon as possible, if they let them occupy Duolun, the next target is our Xilinhot!"

"Well, I'll arrange it!" Li Shouxin said.

"Wait, let Harden's 2nd Division rush back to Xilinhot immediately, and we can't let the Eighth Route Army take advantage of the loophole and occupy Xilinhot." King De Road.

"Hmm!"

"In addition, if you can, transfer some of the officers of the army out just in case, some officers are good to say in the rest, there are many people who can't survive on this prairie, as long as someone brings it, not to mention tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops can be formed!" King De said in a deep voice.

"Okay, it just so happened that some time ago Suzuki didn't say that he was going to train officers in rotation, and we made corresponding preparations, so we ordered it in this name, and the Japanese would not have an opinion if they wanted to come. It's just that in this way, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be weaker, and it will be dangerous if it really fights with the Eighth Route Army. Li Shouxin said.

"Dangerous?"

Saying that, King De smiled bitterly: "Don't mention the danger, we didn't have our head on the waistband of our trousers in the battle with the Eighth Route Army, and which time did we take advantage?" Don't you see that the purpose of the Japanese in forming our Mongolian army is to use them as cannon fodder to block guns, even if they pull everyone up, it may not be much better, let's think about ourselves first, if there are no soldiers and no guns, will the Japanese still look at us squarely? ”

"Well, I remember!" How could he Li Shouxin not understand this truth, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves!
