The war between Lanfang and Japan first broke out on Sakhalin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Russia was defeated in the Russo-Japanese War and ceded all the islands south of 50° north latitude to Japan, including part of Sakhalin.

After the Lanfang Northern Expeditionary Corps drove out the Russians on Sakhalin, a situation was formed on Sakhalin in which Lanfang and Japan each occupied half.

Sakhalin is also the only area where Ranfang shares a border with Japan.

The world war has allowed the whole world to see the combat effectiveness of the Foreign Legion, whether the Japanese government admits it or not, the current Japanese army cannot defeat the Lanfang army, and the gap is all-round.

Although the Japanese government will not admit that the Japanese army cannot defeat the Lanfang army, it has shown its attention to the Lanfang army in action, and after Lanfang has gained control of half of Sakhalin Island, Japan has continued to increase its troops on Sakhalin Island, and by October, the Japanese army on Sakhalin Island has exceeded 50,000 people, and there are three divisions concentrated on Sakhalin Island, namely the Second Division, the Third Division, and the Fifth Division.

While the Japanese continued to increase their troops, Chen Kangjian was also increasing his troops on Sakhalin.

By October, the Northern Territory had concentrated two infantry divisions on Sakhalin, the 11th and 18th Divisions, along with a tank regiment, as well as a bomber wing.

On October 9, Lan Fang officially declared war on Japan, and the battle immediately began on Sakhalin Island.

In the previous Sakhalin Island, Lan Fang and Japan confronted each other near 50 degrees north latitude, but in fact, the garrisons of the troops on both sides were some distance away from 50 degrees north latitude, the garrison of Lan Fang's army was about 10 kilometers north of 50 degrees north latitude, and the garrison of Japanese troops was about three kilometers south of 50 degrees north latitude.

On the Japanese side, the Japanese 2nd Division was at the top of the station, and the 11th Division was on the Lanfang side.

The Japanese 2nd Division, also known as the Sendai Division, was considered to be the two most effective divisions in the Japanese army, along with the 6th Division, which was completely submerged in the Mediterranean.

After the total annihilation of the 6th Division, the 2nd Division became the most combat-effective division in the Japanese Army, and this time there was no one.

Lan Fang's 11th Division was the one that participated in the Champagne Chalons Defense, and in the World War, the 11th Division led by Xiang Ankang was reorganized into a mechanized unit at that time. After returning to Lan Fang, the 11th Division was rebuilt and became one of Lan Fang's most combat-ready units.

This can be regarded as a trump card against a trump card, Lan Fang and Japan have taken out the strongest combat effectiveness of the troops, ready to test the gold content of the other party's "strongest".

At the same time that Lanfang declared war on Japan, Japan also declared war on Lanfang on October 9, so the 11th Division and the 2nd Division advanced to the front line at the same time, preparing to attack.

The terrain around 50° north latitude is actually very interesting, flanked by rolling mountains, and in the middle there is a 20-kilometer-wide and 150-kilometer-long plain, which is also the main battlefield of the war between Lanfang and Japan.

In the selection of the battle area, the commander of the Japanese Second Division, Nakajima Masao, is definitely the most supportive, and this terrain is the most conducive to the advancement of Lanfang's mechanized troops.

At the headquarters of the 11th Division, Chen Kangjian, commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang Region, personally supervised the battle.

As for how to fight, a battle plan was drawn up as early as the beginning of the year, and there was no need for Chen Kangjian to hold on to his feet temporarily, and Chen Kangjian only needed to urge all units to carry out the original plan.

"Where has the little devil been?" Chen Kangjian played with a Lanfang one-yuan coin in his hand, and sat in front of the sand table of the headquarters with a golden knife.

The title "little devil" comes from Qin Zhiyuan, and now it has spread throughout Lanfang, and all Lanfang people will use the name "little devil" when they mention the Japanese, which is indeed very relieving.

"The advance speed of the little devil is not fast, he just left the station half an hour ago, and according to the calculation of the advance speed of the Japanese troops, he is now advancing at most one kilometer." Cheng Xing'an, the commander of the 11th Division, spoke with disdain.

Cheng Xing'an is also the oldest group of the Foreign Legion, and he arrived in Europe on the same ship as Qin Zhiyuan and joined the Foreign Legion in the Kapi area, which is about the same as Chen Kangjian's qualifications.

Lan Fang's army is very modern, even the infantry has achieved semi-mechanization, while the infantry of the Japanese army is the standard infantry, at most it is mule and horse, because of the lack of resources, the entire country of Japan does not have a few cars.

"Tell Shi Wenbin, let him calm down, the more little devils come, the better, it's best for all three divisions to come over, and we'll all be covered at once." Chen Kangjian has a big appetite.

"Hehe, I guess Nakajima Masatake is not so stupid, if he really throws all three divisions in, then we will laugh at it." Cheng Xing'an's appetite is not small.

The largest establishment of the Japanese Army in peacetime is divisions, but during the war, Japan will organize two or three divisions and regiments together to form a temporary army to facilitate the coordination of front-line troops.

At present, on Kakukhalin Island, the Japanese have unified the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Divisions into the First Army, with the commander of the Second Division, Nakajima Masasaki, as the commander.

At the same time, the Second Army is also being reorganized in Japan itself, and it will decide on the direction of investment after watching the development of the war.

As early as the beginning of the year, the Lanfang army formulated a battle plan if the Japanese army attacked, if the Japanese army attacked first, Lanfang would first take out a division to confront the attacking Japanese army head-on, neither beating the Japanese to death with a stick, nor letting the Japanese win the victory, giving the Japanese an illusion that "if they work harder, they can win", attract as many Japanese troops as possible to the plain area, and then send troops to outflank and surround the Japanese, and finally send mechanized troops to clear up.

The key to Lan Fang's plan was to outflank the 18th Division.

As mentioned earlier, the terrain on Sakhalin Island at 50 degrees north latitude is surrounded by mountains on both sides and plains in the middle, and it is very easy for the 18th Division to hide from the Japanese, after all, it had nearly a year before that, and the 18th Division had enough time to find a suitable hiding position.

"No problem, the 18th Division is our first mountain division, Shi Wenbin wants to hide, the Japanese don't have the ability to find him yet." Cheng Xingan has enough confidence in Shi Wenbin.

At this time, Sakhalin Island was sparsely populated, especially on the side controlled by Lanfang, except for the army, there were not many people, and the Japanese had no air supremacy, so it was not easy to infiltrate the area controlled by Lanfang.

Of course, by the same token, it is not easy for Lan Fang to infiltrate the Japanese-controlled areas, but fortunately, Lan Fang's scouts have enough experience and are much stronger than the Japanese in terms of infiltration.

While Chen Kangjian and Cheng Xing'an were planning to trap the Japanese, the scouts of the 11th Division of Lanfang and the scouts of the 2nd Division of the Japanese side fired the first shot of the war between Lanfang and Japan.

When a large army is marching and an offensive march, scouts will be sent to reconnoiter the position of the enemy's main forces, and to form a battlefield shield on their own side, so that the opponent's scouts will not be able to detect the position of their own main forces.

Lan Fang's scouts are based on squads, with nine people in a squad riding three three-wheeled motorcycles to conduct reconnaissance, and scouts are the leaders of the entire army.

If we are specific about the number, the reconnaissance company directly under the headquarters of the 11th Division is the vanguard of the 11th Division.

The squad leader's name was Tom Warren, and he knew he was white just by his name.

Tom Warren was originally French, but now, like many French people, Tom Warren has joined Lanfang nationality and has become an official Lanfang.

The name of the deputy squad leader is Chen Wenyao, who is also an Annan who has joined Lanfang's nationality.

As early as the middle of the year, Lan Fang had already adjusted the composition of the army, and the authentic Chinese gradually withdrew from the front-line troops, except for some key positions, ordinary soldiers were composed of naturalized people who joined Lan Fang's nationality.

"What a damn road, this damn Japanese, what a damn weather...... Tom Warren chattered as he sat in his sidecar and held a J-1 light machine gun.

Tom Warren has just become a citizen of Lanfang and is not proficient enough to use Chinese, so whenever he has the opportunity, Tom Warren will always chatter, and learning a language often starts with swearing.

Sakhalin is sparsely populated, so as you can imagine, there are almost no roads, it's not easy to run a three-wheeler, and because it's already October and the weather is starting to get colder, Tom Warren misses the sun and sand of Lanfang.

"Tom, just stop, I can't hear anything but your dirty words right now." Chen Wenyao, who was sitting in the sidecar of another three-wheeled motorcycle, was very dissatisfied.

Compared with Tom Warren, Chen Wenyao's Chinese is much better, Chen Wenyao has Chinese ancestry, and he was no stranger to Chinese when he was in Annan, and now after a period of strengthening, Chen Wenyao's Chinese has become similar.

The scouts did not blindly drive their motorcycles to move forward, but always drove for a while to observe for a while before moving on.

"Rub, your grandfather is Chinese, of course you don't have to practice Chinese, rub, prepare for battle......" Tom Warren swore again, and suddenly opened the mount of the S-1 light machine gun in his hand in the middle of speaking.

While Tom Warren was chattering, a cavalryman suddenly turned out from behind a grove in front of him.

Cavalry in Japanese uniforms......

The scouts were all veterans, and they checked their guns for the first time, and the sound of pulling the bolt and pushing the bullet to load was loud.

Then the Japanese cavalry also discovered the three-wheeled motorcycle here, and rolled off the horse as soon as possible.

"Tom, do you want to fight?" Chen Wenyao was a little hesitant.

The scout's first task is to scout, not to fight, and of course, if you encounter an opposing scout, you still have to attack when it's time to attack.

"Hit, what are you waiting for?" Tom immediately pulled the trigger in his hand.

Click......

Machine gun bullets formed a chain of fire and swept in the direction of the Japanese soldiers.
