Chapter 264: New Year's Strategy

It has been three years since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was fully launched, and the armies of various factions in China and the Japanese army have fought each other, so they are divided into two, three, five and so on. In terms of combat achievements alone, the Cadet Army undoubtedly destroyed the most enemies. Of course, in terms of the role played, it is naturally headed by the Central Army, which has the most powerful troops, and if it is in terms of operational flexibility, it is absolutely necessary. He is a real guerrilla tactics expert, although he does not have many troops and poor weapons, but he is stunned to be able to play the Japanese between applause, which is a realm that Chu Tiange, a guerrilla expert in the Cadet Army, has been pursuing but cannot taste. The guerrilla warfare of the student army has also become a system, but compared with ***, the route they chose is much simpler.

The student army has money, of course, the most critical point is that Ouyang Yun is willing to throw money in this area. The guerrilla fighters of the Cadet Corps are no different from ordinary cadets in terms of salaries and pensions, and because the fighting environment is more difficult and they are responsible for establishing good relations with the local people, they also have additional allowances. This once made Jiang Shuren and other internal affairs officials feel incomprehensible and disgusted, thinking that it is better to directly develop regular troops than this. With the advent of this war, they truly understood the benefits of establishing guerrilla base areas. After nearly a year and a half of construction, the Cadet Corps has developed a total of two base buffer lines at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang. One of them is based in Cangnan, Taishun and Qingyuan counties, and has three guerrilla columns under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than 6,000 troops; The other is based in Pingyang, Wencheng, Jingning, and Longquan, and has five guerrilla columns under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than 10,000 troops. From the perspective of equipment alone, the guerrilla column may be the real guerrilla force in the cadet army system. Their standard weapons are basically captured Japanese-made weapons, with a small amount of medium-formal, Weiqing-style, and disease-free weapons.

The guerrilla columns were not known for themselves when they were scattered in the countryside, but once the South China Front began to attack in a big way, its presence suddenly became apparent. It is ridiculous that Matsui Ishine was the first to attack, and because of the geographical factors, his offensive was not affected by the severe cold weather, but so far, they have only just stepped into the first guerrilla defense line of the Recruit Army.

The hoeing operation presided over by Tsunee himself, at first glance, seems to be suspected of being angry. However, now it seems that its deterrent effect against the traitors is first-class, taking the southwest of Zhejiang as an example, although Matsui Shigen pursued the strategy of using China to contain China, and also recruited a large number of puppet troops, but he was never able to penetrate the core of the Pingyang, Wencheng, Jingning, and Longquan guerrilla base areas. Southwest Zhejiang is mountainous and hilly, and it is not suitable for large-scale military use. This made Matsui Shigen take care of one thing and lose the other when using his troops, and in many cases he even had to find out how many enemies there were on the opposite side and what level they were through reconnaissance planes, which greatly limited the speed of his advance, and also made him finally have to abandon the strategy of comprehensive occupation and then advancing in parallel, and could only launch attacks from the Rui (Ruian) Cangnan (Cangnan) line in the coastal area and the Yun (Yunhe) Long (Longquan) line in the central part of southwest Zhejiang, and simply ignored the guerrilla forces gathered in Jingning and Wencheng.

Matsui Shigen was worried about getting caught in the quagmire of guerrillas, so he avoided Jingning She Autonomous County and Wencheng County. Under Jiang Guangnai's remote command, eight guerrilla columns either took turns attacking the Japanese army's transport and supply lines, or concentrated the forces of a few guerrilla columns in a certain mountainous area to ambush them, and even more rushed dozens of kilometers to attack Qingtian County and Songyang County, which were small counties where the Japanese army had insufficient troops, thus exhausting the commanders of the South China Front Army who remained behind in the rear, and also affecting the morale of the Japanese troops to the greatest extent.

When Shunroku Hata's order reached Matsui Ishone, although the old devil agreed with this New Year's strategy, he also knew that it would be difficult for him to escape the sentinel of the Cadet Army if he wanted to launch a large-scale surprise attack with the ground forces alone. He did not rush to reply to Shunroku Hatata, but first got in touch with Yamada Definition, the commander of the "Canglong" aircraft carrier fleet cruising in the waters of southern Zhejiang, and only after receiving confirmation from the latter that he could provide fire support for the South China Front's attack on Fuding City, he replied to Shunroku Hata, and would launch an offensive on an unprecedented scale along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian.

At about 8:50, in the headquarters of the Second Army of Shangrao Beimen Township, Ye Zhao and Lian Guangming were sitting around a table of eight immortals eating steaming dumplings, and suddenly, the explosion of "boom" came from the northeast, and the two people were startled, and they put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up. Ye Zhao blurted out to the two guards standing at the door: "Where?!" At that moment, two of the three telephones on the table rang at the same time. His face immediately changed, he grabbed two microphones one by one, and said, "I'm Ye Zhao?" What's the situation? ”

Three telephones, connecting the front line in three directions. At this time, the calls were made from the Dexing front line and the Yushan front line. The voice coming from the left was from Xiang Ke, the commander of the 10th Brigade, and the one on the right was Du Linzi, the commander of the 15th Brigade. The words of the two men meant much the same thing - "Throne! Our unit was heavily shelled by the Japanese army! ”

Lian Guangming listened with a slight startle, his brows locked when he heard this, and he said softly: "It's actually a coincidence?" ”

Ye Zhao: "Hold on, the artillery can be moved at will." Report any new changes immediately! ”

Putting down the phone, he picked up his helmet and put it on his head, and said to Lian Guangming: "Xiaolian, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go to the front line of Hufeng to have a look." ”

Lian Guangming nodded, walked to the door first and shouted loudly: "Wang Mazi, protect the military seat!" ”

Wang Mazi is the commander of the guard regiment, and when he heard this, he responded loudly, and then his voice lit up: "First battalion, second battalion, assemble!" ”

In Fu'an, in the air-raid shelter of the temporary office club of the Fourth Army and the provincial government, Jiang Guangnai buried his head in the desk, and on his right hand, a bowl of steaming dumplings was steaming. His adjutant Jiang Xiaochun frowned slightly, and was saying: "Jiang Lao, it's already hot twice, you eat first-" Before the words were finished, a terrible air defense siren sounded outside, he was stunned for a moment, and then his color changed, and he shouted: "Bastard, who is pulling the air defense siren indiscriminately?!" So saying, he ran towards the entrance of the cave.

Jiang Guangnai raised his head, he was not too surprised, stood up and stretched, and said to Jiang Xiaochun while walking towards the entrance of the cave: "Go up and see what's going on?" ”

Shen Guanghan, chief of staff of the Fourth Army, was also here, and he walked over and stood beside Jiang Guangnai and said: "The Japanese are bombing at night, this is a pure heart that does not let us have a good year?!" ”

Shen Guanghan was Jiang Guangnai's old subordinate, and Jiang Guangnai only invited him back to his side in the middle of last year.

Jiang Guangnai: "Fighting at night is an extremely severe test for fighters and pilots, do the Japanese want to have a big offensive tonight?" ”

"The 2nd Special Artillery Brigade can be put into battle at any time, if this is the case, let the Japanese taste the thunderous wrath of our army!"
