Fengyang County, the headquarters of the 13th Division of the Army.

The atmosphere in the headquarters was particularly heavy, the division commander was smoking a cigarette with a blue face, pacing back and forth irritably, and the commander of the 58th Infantry Wing, who had withdrawn from Fengyang Gorge in a hurry, stood behind him like walking on thin ice, trembling and waiting to be punished by the state soldiers.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps sounded from outside the headquarters.

The state soldiers stopped and turned around, only to see that the chief of staff, Yuzaburo Tsuba, had already strode in in with a hurried expression, and asked later, "Yongjun Tsuba, how is the situation?" Did Sawada-kun and the [***] cavalry team withdraw? ”

Tin Yusaburo shook his head miserably and said: "General, according to the scout's report, our cavalry [***] team was besieged by the Shina armored cluster in the Tianma Peak generation, and all the jade has been shattered, as for General Sawada, it is likely that he has also been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"What? The 17th Cavalry Brigade is also finished? After this battle, his 13th Division has basically lost more than half of it, and the main 26th Brigade Regiment has fled back with less than 1,000 people except for the 58th Wing, and the rest of the army has been wiped out, plus the cavalry [***] team, isn't it half the strength of the division.

Yuzaburo did not answer, but nodded with a heavy expression.

After a pause, he said: "But fortunately, the 19th Wing of our mountain artillery has been safely evacuated due to the timely retreat. ”

After all, the artillery wing is much more important than the cavalry brigade, without the cavalry can be quickly formed, without the artillery then the blow to the 13th division is fatal, if the artillery wing is lost, then the combat effectiveness of the 13th wing will drop by at least three to fifty percent, especially now that the 26th brigade is almost completely annihilated, the important surname of the mountain artillery wing for the 13th division is self-evident.

After a moment of deep mourning, the state soldier suddenly raised his head and said, "What about our air force?" Immediately ask the air forces to bomb the Chinese army, especially their armored units, and they must be eliminated, otherwise it will cause great trouble to the imperial army. "The current state soldiers hate Qiao Anbang's armored forces.

However, due to the special situation on the battlefield in China and the fact that the base camp of the Chinese army has always attached importance to the navy and despised the development of the army, the master regiments of the Chinese army generally lacked weapons and equipment and tactical and strategic thinking to deal with armored forces at this time.

It's normal to think about it, in China at this time, due to the poverty and weakness of the country, whether it is [***] or the Eighth Route Army, many anti-Japanese armed forces are difficult to even get rifle bullets, how can there be such a large number of armored assault troops?

In addition to using air power to bomb, there is really no good way to deal with it, and the hit rate of aerial bombing is very low, and most of the results achieved are unsatisfactory.

In fact, at the time of the defense of Nanjing, the armored battalion of the Huben Brigade of Qiao Anbang had already made the devils suffer enough, but because the armored battalion of the Huben Brigade had only a few dozen armored vehicles and no tanks, but only some armored vehicles with more advanced firepower, the top brass of the Chinese army believed that it was at best a tactical force that could cause trouble in the local war situation, so it failed to attract enough attention from the Chinese army.

The most important thing is that at that time, the Central China Front had already begun to plan the secret operation to assassinate Qiao Anbang, and they agreed that as long as Qiao Anbang was eliminated, then his Tiger Brigade would be self-defeating, and it would be difficult to form an effective combat force.

Therefore, there is no application to the base camp to develop armored combat vehicles and equipment that can deal with China, or to apply for the deployment of armored troops for the invasion of China, in fact, it is not so easy for the Central China Front to be equipped with armored troops, it is said that it is an island country, resources are scarce, almost all strategic resources are dependent on imports, and it is necessary to maintain the navy, a huge gold-swallowing beast, and the strategic resources that can be distributed to the army are really pitiful.

Therefore, it is very unrealistic for the army to invade China to suddenly want to equip armored troops on a large scale, just like the army does not respect submachine guns, in fact, it is not that they cannot produce them, the main reason is that the consumption of automatic weapons such as submachine guns is too great, and the test of logistics with real large-scale equipment is severe.

The main reason is that the devil's family background is thin and he can't stand the toss.

Otherwise, in the long history of the past, the Chinese army maintained trade relations with the United States before the outbreak of World War II and wantonly imported strategic resources from the United States.

With the industrial level of the company, it should not be a problem to copy the Garand semi-automatic rifle, but why didn't the company do it? The reason is obvious......

Therefore, this is also the reason why the army has always advocated efficient combat and saving ammunition.

In fact, with the stability of the army's equipment and logistical supply lines at that time, it was difficult to meet opponents in the whole of Asia, and the army's well-trained army was one thing, and its well-equipped equipment was only compared with the poor and backward China and other Asian countries, and compared with the European powers and the United States, the weapons were just scum.

It is precisely because the Asian countries are too backward that there was China's 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, so many battles in which the Yue army won more with less, and only then did it have the proud record of hundreds of Yue army dougu chariots sweeping through Southeast Asia.

However, now because of the arrival of Qiao Anbang and the existence of salvation, all this will be changed, and the well-trained and well-equipped army will only lose the battle in the face of more advanced equipment to save [***].

Whether it is the thousand-mile battle in the defense of Nanjing, or the previous head-to-head confrontation on the south bank of the Huai River, this point is well proved.

Of course, the victory of this battle on the south bank of the Huai River, there are also many factors, the sophistication of weapons and equipment is on the one hand, surprise, so that the devil is caught off guard also accounts for a considerable degree of important surname, if the devil knows in advance the whereabouts and intentions of saving [***], on the south bank of the large-scale construction of fortifications, along the river defense.

Then it is a question of whether or not [***] can cross the river smoothly, let alone defeat the devil.

"General Hui, our aviation unit arrived not long ago, but the cunning Shina people hid all their armored units in the deep forest, and the aviation unit could not find a target and had to return with bombs." Yuzaburo replied with an ugly face.

"Yaga Tooth Road! The people of China are cunning! The seven-trick shengyan, who had won the morale of the state, scolded angrily.

"General, now is not the time to get angry, we should find a way to reorganize the 26th Brigade as soon as possible." Yusaburo Tin reminded.

The state soldier thought about it, and immediately turned to the commander of the 58th Wing, who had been standing aside, Kuramori: "Kuramori! ”

"Humble duty!" Kuramori Gongren chuckled in his heart, after all, he had lost the battle, and even his immediate boss Sawada Brigade Commander had been sacrificed, and he, the captain of the wing, naturally had to be punished, but knowing that he couldn't hide, he fortunately behaved unusually calm, and stepped forward and bowed his head in response.

Looking at the straight body of Cang Sen Gongren, the state soldiers were a little more satisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Cang Sen, you defeated Fengyang Gorge, and you should have cut your stomach to thank His Majesty the Emperor, but I thought that you led your troops to fight bravely, and temporarily gave you a chance to make meritorious contributions, I decided that the two supplementary wings directly under the division headquarters can be reorganized into the 26th Brigade, and you will temporarily serve as the acting brigade commander of the 26th Brigade, I hope you can lead the 26th Brigade to fight for shame and atone for your crimes!" ”

Gong Cang Sen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed and moved, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute the state soldiers: "Thank you for the general's grace of not killing, Cang Sen will definitely go all out!" ”

"Hmm!" The state soldier nodded, then waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Kuramori Gongren once again gathered his feet and stood upright, and saluted the state soldiers with gratitude, before turning around and leaving with a sabre in stride.

"General, the defeat of Kuramori Daisa has led to the almost annihilation of the entire 58th Wing, why don't you degrade but promote?" Chief of Staff Yusaburo Tin asked with some confusion.

Looking at the back of Cang Sen Gongren, the state soldiers said meaningfully: "Tian Yongjun, there is a saying in the Zhi Na people called shame and then bravery, Cang Sen suffered a defeat in Fengyang Gorge, if he is ordered to commit suicide by cutting his stomach, it will undoubtedly be a big loss for our imperial army, and now he is like a hungry wolf full of hatred, as long as he is given the opportunity, he is bound to launch the most fierce attack on his enemies."

And most importantly, we now have no more suitable person to reorganize the 26th Brigade than him. ”

"The general is wise, and the humble duty is understood." Tin Yusaburo slapped a sycophant without a trace. "Tian Yongjun, pass the order, all wings take strict precautions, and before the supplementary forces arrive, temporarily stick in place, and in addition, closely monitor the whereabouts of the people in the north bank of China, and report in time if there is any abnormality!" Won the state soldier Zhengse.

"Hay!" Yusaburo Tin bowed his head abruptly in response, and then turned around and took the order.

A depression halfway up the Fengyang Gorge, where Qiao Anbang's headquarters is located.

As night fell, Qiao Anbang stood on a rock outside the headquarters with one hand on his chest and smoked quietly, his personal attendant adjutant Liang Jiahan stood aside, his big watery eyes secretly turned to Qiao Anbang from time to time, seeing Qiao Anbang sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, which aroused her curiosity, staring at Qiao Anbang like a curious baby.

Just when Liang Jiahan was fascinated, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, Liang Jiahan subconsciously got up suddenly, and the fair-skinned jade hand was even more swift Mo Xiang with the gun on his waist, and said coldly: "Who!" ”

"It's me!" In the dark, Yali's gentle and melodious voice was heard.

Liang Jiahan let out an "oh", relaxed his vigilance, and turned around boringly, for Yali, a confidential person whose beauty is no less than her own, the woman's intuition told Liang Jiahan that she and Qiao Anbang must have an inexplicable relationship, but she didn't see it with her own eyes, and she could only guess.
