Chapter 192: Xu Bin's Latest Combat Instructions
With the independent regiment of the Volunteer Division and a tank brigade of the independent armored division of the Japanese army engaged in the first engagement at the forward position, this major battle around Jizhou Mansion has officially become the focus of attention of the military leaders of the two countries. For the First Volunteer Division, this army belongs to the troops of the young governor Xu Bin, what is the combat effectiveness? Perhaps this battle will give the people of Longhua the most direct embodiment.
Compared with the previous capture of the Xinyuan Pass, the combat exploits of the 1st Volunteer Division were almost given to the Liaozhou Military Headquarters under the command of the Beiyi Army, and at this moment, with the strength of a reinforced division, it fought against two Japanese infantry divisions and a mechanized armored division. Many people were not very optimistic about the Volunteers before the war, because the Japanese army they had to face was too strong.
Only the Liaozhou Army, which had been in contact with the 1st Volunteer Division, knew very well that it could now create time for the transfer of materials for the Jizhou Mansion, and searched all over the troops of the million-strong coalition army. Perhaps only this volunteer division can do it, and the other troops simply don't know how to resist the attack shock brought by armored vehicles.
Li Shichang, who realized it later, in order to prevent the materials stored in Jizhou Mansion from falling into the hands of the little devils, and also to make up for the guilt of not listening to Xu Bin's good words and persuasion before. Soon instructed the artillery regiment of the Jizhou Army to join the command of the Volunteer Division, and cooperate with the artillery unit of the Volunteer Division to defend the big battle related to the safety of the Jizhou Capital.
It's just that Xu Bin knows very well that this time the Japanese army mobilized to seize Jizhou Mansion and went out with the most powerful trump card troops in their hands. With the strength of one of the main forces of his Xu family's army, he fought with it, and perhaps dared to say that he would be repulsed. However, with the current other armies, even if the volunteer division does a good job of logistical support, it can only delay the crisis of the fall of Jizhou Mansion at most.
From this incident, Xu Bin can see that this President Li Da is a president who has no sense of distress. Such a person occupies such a high position, and in the face of adversity, he may be able to force a heroic spirit. But in good times, he simply doesn't understand. The more we walk in good times, the more we are on guard against adversity.
According to the inference he and Situ Baili made, once the Jizhou Mansion was lost this time, their previous pioneers in the battle with the Japanese army would all be lost to the hands of the Japanese army. Next, what they can do is to enter into a protracted war against Japan.
At the same time, Xu Bin also knew that the entire Longhua Kingdom, except for his Qiantang Dao seaport, had this self-preserving naval escort, and the Japanese army was willing to consume a few main fleets there. Maybe they can't do it at all, and completely destroy the Qiantang Naval Base. This also means: In the future, Longhua will face the embarrassment that materials cannot be transported in and cannot be transported.
After the war situation will enter a period of reversal, Xu Bin can fully imagine that the governors of the various provinces who are not united themselves. The solidarity that has now been barely formed will once again enter a state of chaos. Coupled with the little devils and shili from various countries, they fanned the wind and lit the fire on the side. In the future, Longhua Kingdom will not only face the continuous encroachment of the little devils, but also face the mutual swallowing war that will start again in various provinces.
Even if some warlord governors were reluctant to join this civil war attrition. In the position of Governor-General. He couldn't escape the fate of being implicated. If they didn't want to lose the governorship, they could either submit to the civil war or be eliminated from the warlords altogether. This means that a new round of Longhua chaos has arrived.
Xu Bin didn't want to see this happen, and he knew that he didn't have the ability. Therefore. While Xu Bin realized this crisis, he increased the number of garrisons in Qiantang Province to 50,000 elite troops again. In order to deal with the possible internal and external difficulties around Qiantang.
Once the governor of the provincial government next to Qiantang Road dared to point the finger at him. He doesn't care about anything. Directly push the other side's shili with excellent troops, and strive to have absolute military and political leadership in the south.
As far as the land of the five realms under his control is concerned, the total number of troops has far exceeded the 500,000 lands estimated in advance. In this provincial government, the standing army strength of the Xu family army is close to one million. This does not include the millions of militia units in the provinces that can be assembled at any time and have been trained in regular formations.
Therefore, today's Xu Bin can be described as a strong soldier, as long as he ensures that Qiantang Port is not broken through by little devils, several other Taoist little devils want to come in. It is necessary to face the counterattack of the powerful army of the Xu family, and Xu Bin does not dare to say that he can defeat the little devil at sea. But as long as the little devil dares to enter the Daofu under his control, he will tell the little devil what it means to have no return.
It was this absolute confidence that made Xu Bin finally telegraph the volunteer division not to be afraid of sacrifice this time, and strive to make a name for himself in the Xu family's army. Let the little devil and the warlords of Longhua Kingdom really understand what an elite army unit is.
At the same time, he also instructed that after the end of the battle, the 1st Volunteer Division would officially break up into parts and cooperate with the local intelligence department and the chamber of commerce to organize and carry out arduous anti-Japanese work behind enemy lines in the Beiyi area. Strive to form a force that gradually surpasses the influence of the Beiyi Army in the land of Beiyi. In order to prepare for the next step of Xu Jiajun's march into the north of Longhua.
And Xu Bin also clearly told Du Liren that this time will not be too short, nor too long. When Xu Bin officially becomes the military overlord of the south, it will be the time when he will dominate the whole country. At that time, he believed that as long as Du Liren did not forget that he was a strong general under him, then when he founded Longhua in the future, he would definitely have the position of a general Du Liren.
The officers and men of the Volunteer Division and the Independent Regiment were selected as seed troops. Now in the face of the chaos that the current situation has begun, Xu Bin suddenly made this decision. Let this elite unit loyal to the Xu Jiajun stick like a nail in the Beiyi area, carrying out military activities to build a base behind enemy lines and undermine the Japanese army's rule over Beiyi.
The work may be difficult, but Xu Bin believes that the troops he has taught will be able to endure this test. After all, the hardships they are suffering now will be established in the future when the new Longhua government led by Xu Jiajun is established. They will all be the founding heroes, and Xu Bin believes that Du Licheng and others will be clear about the gains and losses.
In addition, Xu Bin also clearly told Du Liren that the primary purpose of this battle could be to kill and injure the Japanese army regardless of casualties. But he also tried to keep as much as possible some seeds for the creation of guerrilla forces in the future, if it really didn't work, anyway, Li Shichang promised the Jizhou army to be a backup for him. Let him choose some Jizhou troops as replacements when his troops are insufficient.
The first is to relieve their pressure, and the second is to recruit the officers of Beiyi nationality to prepare for the later ones who take root in Beiyi. When the Volunteers withdraw from their current positions, they will use the formation of the Volunteers to operate in the vast area of Beiyi.
At the same time, Xu Bin also clearly told them that as long as Du Liren, the commanders, could judge the situation and he believed that the days behind the enemy would be hard, but it would also make them, the belligerent generals, not worry about not fighting. And the better they fight this battle, the more understanding and support they will be able to get from the people in the future.
With the understanding and support of the local people, it will certainly not be so easy for the Japanese army to exterminate them. Xu Bin believes that Du Liren, a general who has grown up step by step from the grassroots level, will understand the weight of it.
After receiving this telegram, which was not open to the public, Du Liren, who was not yet forty years old, did not expect to be surprised by today's battle. He actually received such a heavy combat mission, but it also awakened his general's pride. Compared with other division commanders with higher positions than him, who can get Xu Bin's trust so much?
This time, Xu Bin asked him to play a Monkey King who got into the belly of the Japanese army, so he didn't give up if he didn't make the little devil dizzy. Moreover, Xu Bin also made it clear that this kind of operation behind enemy lines will not last long. The more little devils they eliminate in Beiyi, the more they destroy the little devils' embezzlement of Longhua's resources, and the faster the little devils will perish.
And there are intelligence departments all over Beiyi, as well as those chamber of commerce spy departments who are dressed in the coats of the two countries, which means that they have a transport team and ears. Even if they are hiding in the dense forests and mountains of Beiyi, they don't have to worry about the impact of the long-term blockade of the little devils on them.
As long as they work step by step and develop their strength in a down-to-earth manner, Xu Bin believes that they will become the backbone of the Xu Jiajun and the army in the future, and these commanders will also become the backbone of the new national defense force. When that time comes, he Xu Bin will personally award the meritorious heroes of these countries. Let the people of Longhua in later generations always remember their efforts for the rejuvenation of the country.
With this Xu Bin's order and instructions forwarded by the Ministry of Intelligence, Du Liren also felt that his blood was boiling, and he quickly summoned these generals under him.
After informing Xu Bin of this latest operational instruction, and hearing that they would temporarily stay in Beiyi to fight and fight against the stable rule of the little devils over Beiyi, these main regiment commanders all seemed very serious and said that they would definitely obey the orders of Du Liren, the commander. In order to form the first main force to enter Beiyi, dedicate their due liliang.
After informing Xu Bin of his latest operation, Du Liren quickly adjusted his previous stable combat plan, focusing on killing and injuring the Japanese army. The Jizhou Army, who kept asking for supplies for them in the rear, asked for guns and ammunition and more explosives packages.
In the face of the request put forward by the volunteers, the Jizhou army, which had already been instructed, just felt that there were too many weapons and ammunition stored in Jizhou Mansion. If you bring back Liaozhou, it will undoubtedly be a burden, so the requirements for the volunteer division can be described as what you want to give something. Of course, what the Volunteers wanted was also something that the Northern Yi Army could take. If the Northern Yi Army didn't have it, they would have asked in vain.
As the Japanese army was in front of the position of the independent regiment at the beginning of the battle, they set up camp and waited for the arrival of the infantry division, and Situ Qingyun, who received the latest instructions. I also began to make careful preparations for the big battle of Zuihou. At the same time, the rear volunteer division, which had already built the haode fortifications, also appeared soldiers who were preparing for battle overnight.
They want to turn this place into a flesh mill, so that the little devils will have weak legs when they hear the volunteer master in the future. How can you do it if you don't prepare it well? (To be continued......)
