Chapter 709: 30,000 elites
Qiao Youhua frowned slightly and said: "Niang Xipi, it seems that little Japan has transferred the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchurian **** into the customs, and there is no major war on the frontal battlefield in North China, East China and even the Central Plains at present."
The devil transferred the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchukuo to enter the customs at any cost, he must have come to our dragon's tooth column, and he was really fucking willing to pay his blood! ”
Subsequently, Qiao Youhua asked Liu Ruhan and Li Yansan to send a telegram respectively, and sent someone to notify Guo Meng, the commanders of each regiment directly under him, and the commanders of each brigade immediately came to the base camp to discuss countermeasures.
A day later, Jiang Haidong and his three brigade commanders arrived one after another, plus the air defense regiment, tank regiment, guard regiment commander and political commissar Guo Meng directly under the column, and Qiao Youhua's conference room was once again full of people.
They hadn't seen each other for two months, but they didn't care about greeting each other, Qiao Youhua said straight to the point: "Everyone, according to the reliable information we just got, the devil has mobilized a large number of reinforcements from outside the customs to enter the customs, and it is no surprise that they should be planning to launch an encirclement and suppression against us again."
Although it is not yet possible to determine the scale of the troops that the devil may mobilize this time, the encirclement and suppression is absolutely true, and everyone was hurriedly summoned to discuss how to deal with this encirclement and suppression, and everyone spoke freely and expressed their opinions! ”
Hearing that the Kwantung Army had entered the customs, everyone present couldn't help but change their faces, but they were just surprised, but none of them were afraid.
Ma Biao, the commander of the second brigade, took the lead in standing up and said: "Commander, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, no matter how many reinforcements the little devil transfers, we will go all out to meet it!" ”
"Yes, our Dragon's Tooth Column now has a total strength of 35,000 or 6,000 people, even if the logistics personnel are removed, there are at least 30,000 combat troops, and with these 30,000 elites, why are you afraid of just a few pirates?" Wu Ming, who had already won so many battles with Qiao Youhua, also stood up a little high-spirited.
Because of the help of the people in the base area, the proportion of logistics personnel in the Longya Column was quite small, so as soon as Wu Ming's voice fell, political commissar Guo Meng added: "If the war requires, the more than 36,000 people of our column can all be put into battle, and only a few car soldiers need to be left to drive."
The task of transportation, the millions of fathers and elders in the base area, can help us infinitely! ”
Qiao Youhua couldn't help but feel very good when he heard this, it was good to have the support of the people, and with the backing of the vast sea of the people's war, no matter how strong the invaders were, they would only be submerged.
Of course, suddenly recalling that he already had thirty or forty thousand elites under his command, Qiao Youhua couldn't help but be full of pride, thinking that there were only more than 1,000 people under his command at the beginning, and they could shine in the defense of Nanjing.
Today, with 30,000 elite divisions, hundreds of kilometers of base area and the support of millions of people, and its own arsenal, there is no need to worry about weapons and ammunition.
The soldiers are well fed, the weapons are excellent, and the ammunition is also sufficient, so why not be afraid of fighting the Japanese pirates?
What about even the powerful Kwantung Army? It's right!
Thinking of this, Qiao Youhua suddenly stood up and said in a solemn voice: "Political commissar and second brigade commander, you are right, we now have tens of thousands of elites, and we have the support of millions of people, let's kill one of the little devils and the two devils, and let's kill one of the two!"
Now I announce that all units of the Dragon's Tooth Column have immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and all personnel have been trained diligently, ready for battle, and ready to meet the Japanese at any time, and this time will be the last battle against encirclement and suppression between us and the Japanese army in North China!
If we win this battle, we will be able to take advantage of the situation to launch a full-scale counteroffensive and expand the base area one more circle! ”
"Yes!" Everyone got up one after another and responded violently, Qiao Youhua then instructed the three brigade commanders and good brothers, asking them to send more scouts, be sure to ensure the safety of their respective defense areas, and report it immediately if there is an abnormal enemy situation.
Subsequently, Qiao Youhua sent a secret telegram to Wan Hu who was far away in Tianjin, asking him to command the members of the Long Yingwei and try his best to get the specific size of the devils and the puppet army.
and other relevant information, so that Qiao Youhua can know in his heart, so that he can make corresponding deployments and judgments!
After the three brigade commanders left, Qiao Youhua, political commissar Guo Meng, guard regiment commander Zheng Yunshan, air defense regiment commander Ma Yunlong, tank regiment commander Liu Jianhua and others discussed and decided.
In view of the imminent war, and the arsenal has not yet been able to produce enough anti-aircraft artillery, machine guns, as well as tanks and armored vehicles for the two divisions of the anti-aircraft regiments, tank regiments.
In order to facilitate the combat effectiveness of these two regiments in the next battle, the 28 88mm anti-aircraft guns originally subordinate to the air defense regiment were temporarily transferred to the tank regiment.
Together with the eighteen tanks of the tank regiment, a temporary armored assault brigade was formed, under the full command of Liu Jianhua.
The cavalry battalion of the tank regiment was transferred to the command of Zhao Tiezhu, the former deputy commander of the tank regiment and the commander of the cavalry battalion.
The air defense regiment was fully equipped with the original infantry artillery, which was stored as an artillery unit directly under the column, and would provide artillery support for any unit in need in the column in the following battles.
It turned out that the artillery battalion directly under the column already existed, and Qiao Youhua transferred a group of backbones to enrich and form the artillery units of the brigades under his jurisdiction.
The rest became members of the air defense regiment, but their artillery and squad were still there, so they were able to perform both air defense and ordinary artillery duties.
The transformation of functions is completely based on the needs of actual combat.
In addition, the logistics office, the confidential office, and the field hospital were all nervously busy.
The first two were busy preparing military supplies for the battle, overhauling all the communications facilities in the base area, and maintaining close communication with the various units.
The field hospital was busy preparing all kinds of medicine and other relief materials and equipment, preparing as much as possible for the next big war, everyone knows that they are preparing more medicines at this time, and after the battle starts, they may be able to treat more brave soldiers and recover some losses for the anti-Japanese team.
…………
At the Beiping Military Airport, a Japanese medium-sized transport plane, escorted by several Type 89 fighters, roared from the high altitude in the northeast and slowly landed on the airfield.
The hatch opened, and out of it came a Japanese general wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, followed by several adjutants, this person was none other than Kenji Dohihara, the commander of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army.
His 14th Division was also transferred to fight in Guannai this time.
The commander of the 1st Division and the commander of the 8th Division were both close to the South Manchurian and North Manchurian railway lines in their jurisdictions, and the 1st Division itself was a mechanized division.
Therefore, he chose to take the train south to enter the customs, and the 14th Division of Kenji Dohihara happened to be deployed in Jiamusi and other border areas near Vladivostok in Heilongjiang, which was a long way.
The troops were first transported by ships and vehicles to the provincial capital of Harbin, and then went south in batches by train along the North Manchurian railway line.
The plane took off from Jiamusi Airport, stopped at Changchun, Shenyang and Jinzhou, and then flew directly to Beiping, which was much faster than taking the train.
Therefore, although Kenji Dohihara was the farthest away from Beiping City, he was the first to enter the customs and rushed to the Pingjin area that he was familiar with.
The reason why Kenji Dohihara, who is now 56 years old, is quite familiar with Hirajin is because this old devil has been in China for more than 30 years since 1902 and is a well-known China expert.
He and Yan Xishan, the leader of the Jin Sui Army, were also classmates at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, and they were very familiar with many warlords in the old China period, and the Pingjin area, as the political and economic center of North China, was the place where he stayed in China for the longest time, so he was familiar with it.
This old spy has committed a lot of crimes, and he once participated in the conspiracy to plan the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo and the autonomy of North China, but now he is not a spy, and he has become the division commander of the standing elite division, with the rank of lieutenant general. Compared with the commander of the regimental division, Isamu Yokoyama, the commander of the 8th Division, Tsukada Tsukasa, is a more difficult and cunning opponent to deal with.
Revisiting the old place, with the determination and confidence of the dragon's tooth column that came to encircle and suppress Qiao Youhua, the rising star of China, Kenji Dohihara took the accompanying adjutants with high spirits, got off the plane, and entered Beiping City again in the vehicle that his familiar colleagues had already prepared, to meet the leaders of the North China Front.
It's time to give a detailed look at the three divisions of the Kwantung Army that entered the customs this time. It should be noted here that in addition to this 1st Division, the Japanese Empire also had two Guards Divisions, which were specifically responsible for the safety of the Emperor and even the Castle of Tokyo, and were called the 1st and 2nd Guards Divisions respectively.
The 1st Army Division was the first of the seven veteran divisions of the Japanese invasion of China, which was founded in May 1888 and went through the Russo-Japanese War and the September 18 Incident.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese base camp was newly formed with the remaining troops and reservists of the 1st Division.
The overall strength of the 1st Division and its subsequent strength were weakened to a certain extent, but in the following two years, the base camp has strengthened and cared for the 1st Division in order to strengthen the strength of the Kwantung Army.
The Kwantung Army also did its best to arm this elite 1st veteran division, making it the first quasi-mechanized division in the Imperial Japanese Army.
The so-called quasi-mechanized division is its mechanized process, which is quite close to a real mechanized unit, not only has a fully equipped tank and combat vehicle wing under its jurisdiction, but also its transport troops, artillery units, and four infantry field wings under the jurisdiction of the two main brigades and regiments, and the equipping rate of armored vehicles, motorcycles, and trucks has reached 80 percent.
As for the devils, they directly blew it as a real mechanized elite division, although it is still a little far from a real mechanized division.
However, after the mechanization was as high as 80 percent, the combat effectiveness of the 1st Division did soar a lot, at least much stronger than the current 8th Division and even the 14th Division.
