Chapter 42: Breaking the Pieces (Collect)

Zhang Erniu, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, although his name is not very good, he has strong ability. After the reconnaissance company www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was upgraded to the reconnaissance battalion, the personnel were expanded several times. But it only took Zhang Erniu one day to select enough soldiers, and then began training.

Scouts are the elite of the army, so it is natural to choose the best soldiers. If you're a good person, that's the best. Then, Zhang Erniu trained these soldiers according to the special forces training method given to him by Qin Shou, and naturally, he could train the best scouts.

It's just that time is urgent now, and there is not so much time for Zhang Erniu. The day after the reconnaissance battalion was formed, Zhang Erniu led his troops out of Myitkyina. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army (AAA) has basically no foundation in Burma. If you want to know the enemy's situation, you can only rely on the scouts to investigate. Therefore, Zhang Erniu's reconnaissance battalion has a very heavy task.

Qin Shou has also begun to set up his own intelligence collection department for the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. It's just that now there is no time, and there is no suitable candidate. Plus the big war is coming. Therefore, the formation of the intelligence department has not been completed for a long time.

On the afternoon of June 7, Qin Shou received an urgent military situation from the reconnaissance battalion. The two Japanese armies, one south and one north, were advancing towards Myitkyina, and they had the posture of flanking Myitkyina and destroying them in one fell swoop.

"Commander, the situation is not good! There are more than 4,000 and nearly 5,000 people in the north. The little devils in the south also have more than 2,000 people. That adds up to 7,000 people. In terms of troops, it is already equivalent to two wings of little devils. Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan looked worried.

Although, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can now be described as a strong soldier. Seven infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, plus the troops directly under the army, the total strength has reached more than 36,000 people. Such a force is already five times that of the invading Japanese army.

But even so, on the battlefield of China, even if the Chinese* army has a five-fold or even greater advantage, there are many examples of defeat and retreat by the Japanese army!

Qin Shou nodded, indeed, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army has an absolute advantage in terms of strength. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, I dare not say anything. In particular, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments of the current seven infantry regiments of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were expanded from the old foundation of the previous supplementary regiments, and their combat effectiveness was slightly stronger. However, the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th regiments were composed entirely of rescued prisoners of war. Even though they are equipped with all-Japanese weapons, if they want to restore their combat effectiveness, they can do it overnight.

"When will the two little devils arrive in Myitkyina?" Qin Shou asked. There is no doubt that now is the most difficult time for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. This battle is even related to their life and death.

If he wins, he will not only be able to boost the morale of his troops, but will also be able to get the affirmation of the Americans and receive a large amount of military aid from the Americans. If they were defeated, they would have to flee Myitkyina and continue to fight guerrilla warfare in the dense forests of Burma.

"Commander, the little devil in the north is a little far away from us, and it is expected to be there in three days. And the little devil in the south is already very close to us, and it is expected to be just over a day away. In the morning after tomorrow, Myitkyina can be reached. The scout reported.

This means that there is a two-day time gap between the two little devils. We can take this time difference and catch them off guard! Qin Shou immediately thought of a way.

If you stick to Myitkyina, wait until the two little devils in the north and south arrive, and fight with them, this is obviously not cost-effective for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. It would be much easier if you could get rid of one and then concentrate on the other.

"Commander, you mean each break?"

"Yes, that's the only way we can do it. Gather the main force first, cross the Irrawaddy River, and defeat the troops south of the little devils in the south of Myitkyina. Then he will join Myitkyina and destroy the little devils in the north. Defeat them in one fell swoop! A hint of determination flashed in Qin Shou's eyes.

"Commander, this is one way to go. However, even the little devil in the south has more than 2,000 people, and it is not so easy to eat. Liu Shiquan's worries have not completely dissipated.

Previously, when they were not reorganized into the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, although they won three battles in a row. However, in the first two battles, it was fought with a squadron of disgruntled members of the little devil, and the third time was a brigade that eliminated a dissatisfied member of the little devil. This time, what you have to face is a wing-level unit of the little devil!

Of course, the current Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is also strong. The strength has improved a lot compared to before. If there is enough time for them to reorganize and train the troops, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be further enhanced. But alas, the little devils won't give them so much time.

"I believe we can eat them. Huzi, bring in the commanders of each regiment. This time, we're going to continue to fight the little devils. ”

"Yes, Captain." Chen Hu immediately arranged for the guards to go to find someone.

In less than ten minutes, the commanders of 7 infantry regiments and 1 artillery regiment appeared at the command headquarters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Scout Battalion has sent back news that two little devils' troops are heading for Myitkyina. The little devil in the north has more than 4,000 or nearly 5,000 people. The little devils in the south also have more than 2,000 people. It's going to be a huge test for us. However, we must win this battle! Qin Shou's face was serious.

The faces of several regiment commanders became solemn. More than 7,000 little devils, this is not a small army! If it is placed on the battlefield in China, it is enough to make the national * army on the front line extremely nervous.

Although their respective units have been expanded and upgraded to regiments, they still have the main infantry regiment of more than 4,500 people. At the same time, it has also been equipped with newer weapons. However, the unit has just been expanded, and training has just begun. If you want to go out and fight the little devil now, the problem is undoubtedly quite big.

"Brethren, I have already negotiated with the Americans. If we can defeat the little devils this time. The Americans will promise to provide us with sufficient military aid. When the time comes, we will set up a serious American mechanic and a water of American equipment. The Americans' own infantry, whatever weapons we are equipped with, are more than a star and a half stronger than the American armorers of the previous expeditionary force. When the time comes, it will be even easier to clean up the little devils. Therefore, for the sake of our own future and destiny, we must also win this battle! Qin Shou said categorically.
