Chapter 11: Wild Supplement (7)

Zhang Shuxiong was defeated, and Zhao Guolong shook his head, it seems that the victory of the two armies is not who is brave and who is weak, but the understanding and adoption of some equipment and new weapons. Zhang Shuxiong's defeat was that he didn't expect that the Japanese army would be able to spread the news in the process of breaking and escaping, let alone that because of the news, he would change from a hunter to a prey. After the battle, Zhang Shuxiong collected his troops, and after counting them, he found that 31 people were sacrificed, 87 people were seriously injured, and one company lost its combat effectiveness. This is still because the Japanese army is in a hurry to return to Xiaodong, and there is no result of pursuit, if the Japanese army continues to pursue, the casualties can only be greater.

The dejected Zhang Shuxiong returned to Taiping with the remnants of the army, along with Yang Litian and Qin Jing. The so-called a few happy and a few sad, Yang Litian's people seem to be welcoming the atmosphere is still continuing, laughing from beginning to end, and the hot sweat and heavy weight on the head have not reduced their excitement in the slightest. In this operation, the 56th Regiment gained a lot, wiped out most of the Japanese army, only a small part of the Japanese army climbed out of the wall north of the primary school, and the Japanese soldiers who ran away were empty-handed, and they couldn't even hold a single 38 rifle, and everything was left in the primary school. The 56th Regiment emptied the entire Xiaodong Japanese Infantry Brigade Headquarters, telegraphs, walkie-talkies, guns and ammunition, and more than 1,000 officers and men of the 56th Regiment became baggage troops, even Yang Litian was no exception, carrying a bundle of five 38 rifles, like a woodcutter chopping wood. There are too many materials, the 56th regiment did its best and only took a third, and if it can't be finished, it will be handed over to the Zhuangding regiment to deal with.

Under the scorching sun, the whole regiment of the 56th regiment walked back with a load, and the sand pears on the road became their best supplies.

Qin Jing's men and horses were very normal, there was not much excitement, they delayed some more time on the battlefield, knowing that there would be no Japanese army to harass them, so they slowly skinned and removed the meat of the injured and killed animals, thousands of catties of good meat, and brought them back to the whole division to fight tooth sacrifices, although the horse meat was a little fishy, plus the star anise, it was much stronger than green vegetables and tofu.

Kan Weiyong greeted two kilometers and said to Qin Jing with a smile: "The master seat is really clever, not only killing his people, but also eating his flesh. ”

"Hehehe" Qin Jing smiled: "It's terrible for this word to get out, I have become a cannibal." ”

Kan Weiyong said with a smile: "Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, and laughs about thirsty for Hun blood!" I don't know what the difference between this little Japanese meat and Hu Lu is! ”

The two laughed and returned to the barracks.

Seeing Zhang Shuxiong who was depressed, Zhao Guolong walked over, patted Zhang Shuxiong's shoulder comfortingly, and said: "I usually ask you to read more books, but you always say that you don't know a basket of big characters, and tell you to know more about the new weapons of the Japanese. ”

Zhang Shuxiong's face was declining, his brows fell to both sides, and he looked like a dead person. After the Battle of Guinan, the new 19th Division added a field supplementary regiment, and several regiment commanders were selected. Zhang Shuxiong also hopes that he can make a difference and repay Zhao Guolong's kindness, who knows, the first big action will show his shortcomings and lose face.

"Why do the Japanese dare to invade our big country because they have some new gadgets in their hands? Walkie-talkies are one of them, gas bombs, airplanes, tanks, all of which are bullying us without. Zhao Guolong did not blame him, and continued: "Three years ago, when we only arrived in Shanghai, I didn't know these things, in a big battle in Yunzaobang, we fought for the first time under the leadership of the regiment commander Mo Di, and the regiment commander chose to attack the Japanese army's radio headquarters. At the end of the battle, we realized that this place was like the seven inches of a snake, and one blow would be a complete mess. Now war is not only about bravery and wisdom, but also about weapons and communications. Since then, our favorite thing to do is to get the Japanese army's walkie-talkie, and the reason why our 526th Regiment has never been defeated is because the information between our units is in place, and basically every battalion and every company on a mission will bring a walkie-talkie. ”

Zhang Shuxiong looked at Zhao Guolong blankly, he was born in the army, and then studied in the Nanning Army School, because the cultural level was too low, he could not enter the regular army after graduation, and could only serve in the militia group. When the 46th Army was formed, the source of troops in Guangxi was exhausted, and Zhang Shuxiong was withdrawn from the militia group. I have never seen the world, and I don't know what the main battlefield in Central China has become, let alone the extent of modern warfare.

"It doesn't matter if we don't have the advanced weapons and advanced technology of the Japanese, what is captured is ours, we must learn to use it, as long as we can use it, we can still kill the Japanese in turn. Your thinking is correct, the only thing is to ignore the walkie-talkie, and as a result, you suffer a big loss. The commander of the 56th regiment will use the walkie-talkie, and the walkie-talkie in his hands has become a weapon for mobilizing the Japanese army. It doesn't matter if you suffer some losses in the first independent battle, the important thing is to learn more lessons and constantly improve your combat skills in order to destroy the enemy in the next battle. In our division, the 55th, 56th, and 57th regiments must report to the police for combat, but the field supplement regiment is different, and it can attack flexibly. "Zhao Guolong has been in the senior class of the military academy for a year, and he is very disciplined when he talks about it.

Zhang Shuxiong nodded, looking at the young chief of staff in front of him, a wave of respect arose, he must learn how to fight a war, and next time, he will take the lives of the Japanese.

In Zhou Zuhuang's view, this was already a big victory, laying a stronghold, harassing the enemy army, grabbing supplies, and killing more than 100 Japanese soldiers. While reporting to the Liuzhou Fourth War Zone, he also asked for merit to the new 19th Division, and the first credit was Yang Litian, the commander of the 56th Regiment.

This is really a battle that is the best of both worlds, Zhou Zuhuang is satisfied, and Major General Yantian Dingqi of Qinzhou is also more satisfied, although the transport brigade was attacked, but the loss is not large, most of the materials were sent to Pumiao, and the third brigade of the 1st Wing also successfully took over the defense of Pumiao. What worries Major General Yantian Dingqi is that with the third brigade going north, Qinzhou has one less infantry brigade, and only two infantry brigades are guarded, if another infantry brigade is sent to escort supplies, Qinzhou will only have one infantry brigade, and it will also take into account the defense of the city and other places, the number of troops is too small, if the Chinese army takes advantage of the weakness to attack, I am afraid that the Qinzhou defense will be lost. The Marines can only assist in defense for a short time, and it is not easy to get special approval from the Admiralty for a long time unless the Admiralty gives special approval, looking at the contradictions between the Imperial Army and the Navy over the years, it is not easy to get special approval!

Ten days later, a new round of transportation will be started, what should I do? Major General Shiota Dingqi was so worried that his gray hair flew wildly.

In comparison, the commander of the Guards Brigade, Major General Sakurada Takeshi, is in a much better mood than Shiota Dingqi, and this trip to the Sino-Vietnamese border will open up a new world, the French Foreign Legion, and those Vietnamese native soldiers who are barefoot and wearing slippers, hehe, let them taste the sword style of the Guards Brigade! Take North Vietnam, take the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, and then follow the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway into Yunnan, and the whole of China will be in the bag. The more Sakurada Takeshi thought about it, the more he opened his mind, and he actually sang "March of the Sword Drawing Team".

The Guards Brigade walked on the Yonglong Highway for three days, facing the scorching sun, one by one like apes. The Guards Brigade was formed on the basis of the 1st and 2nd Guards Infantry Wing and the 3rd Brigade of the Guards Field Artillery Wing.

The 2nd Wing of the Guards Brigade Okazaki Kiyozaburo Brigade was the first to arrive in Yongju, and Yongju fell for the second time.

After joining forces with the commander of the 9th Brigade and Major General Chuan Yuan 7 in Pingxiang, Sakurada Takeshi discussed a trick to have the three infantry brigades of the 2nd Wing of the Guards Brigade stationed in Longzhou, Ningming, and Pingxiang respectively, and the 4th Infantry Brigade to enter Vietnam from Shuikou in Longzhou, pretending to enter Jingxi County by detouring through Vietnam to Longlun, Gaoping, and Cha Ling, so as to draw the attention of the Chinese army to Guixi and facilitate the smooth withdrawal of the 22nd Army from Guinan. Second, it also took the attention of the French army away from Lang Son and dispersed the forces of the French army, so as to divide and attack it. The third is for the sake of plunder, the Guards Brigade went to southwest Guangxi this time, and it was completely alone, with no logistical supplies, and they had to bear their own food and accommodation. The Sino-Vietnamese border is located in a mountainous area, and the people are impoverished, and if they want to survive the more than 10,000 people of the three wings, they can only plunder in a wider area.

The 41st Wing was still responsible for the main part of the attack on Vietnam, and after the reorganization, the 41st Wing continued to enter the Lang Son area, burning and looting in the Lang Son area, with the aim of luring the French troops out, and then cooperating with the 1st Wing of the Guards Brigade to clean up the French army.

Everything was arranged, just waiting to enter Vietnam, a piece of news came, and Sakurada Takeshi found that his plan had completely failed. Plans could not catch up with the change in the situation, and in just a few days, the situation in Europe changed again! On the verge of defeating France, Prime Minister Paul Reynaud resigned, and was succeeded by Petain, the hero of the First World War, bowed the head of the Gallic rooster and sued for peace with Germany, and the two sides signed an armistice.

The French parliament was even more contemplative, and in order to preserve the French state, it did not hesitate to grant Petain all legislative, judicial, executive, and diplomatic powers, and made him the head of state. Pétain's government changed the name of the country to the French State, and the Diet became only an advisory body, the legitimate government representing France, which was recognized by all countries except England. In exchange for the Axis promises not to partition France, Petain supported Nazism, imposed a dictatorship, assisted in the capture of Jews and other "bad elements", and actively confronted the Allies. However, by maintaining the independence and territorial integrity of France alone, Pétain's government won the support of the majority of the French population, after all, Nazism was in full swing and desirable.

With a general decree, French Indochina became a colony of the new French state. Just when Sakurada Takeshi was dumbfounded, the French Indochina on the opposite side actually became his ally, and he could no longer carry out armed strikes.

As if punched on cotton, Takeshi Sakurada almost vomited blood and proposed to the French governor that the already occupied provinces of Cao Bang and Lang Son must become occupied by the Japanese army, and in any case, they could not withdraw from the areas already occupied.

French Governor Matthew did not dare to make his own decisions, so a telegram was sent back to Bordeaux, and French Prime Minister Petain immediately sent a special envoy to hold consultations with Japan on the Vietnamese issue, and until the results of the consultations were known, the two sides maintained the current situation.

Sakurada Takeshi thought that instead of being idle, it would be better to try to attack Yunnan from the mountains of Guixi, so he asked the 1st Wing to send an infantry brigade to move from Longzhou to Leiping. Chen Zhengxin immediately reported this change of the Japanese army to the military headquarters of the 46th Army, and Zhou Zuhuang did not dare to slack off, and immediately transferred the telegram to the Theater Command.

The Fourth Theater of Liuzhou was shocked when he heard the news, and Zhang Fakui immediately adjusted his troops to defend southwest Guangxi, and the first unit to be transferred was the 131st Division of the 31st Army, which moved from the garrison to Ningming. The second transferred unit was the 188th Division of the 31st Army, which entered Zuozhou under the leadership of the division commander Wei Zhen and deputy division commander Hai Jingqiang, and formed an angle with the 131st Division. What is surprising is that He Weizhen, deputy commander of the 31st Army, is no longer the commander of the 131st Division, and the new division commander is concurrently served by Xiao Zhaopeng, chief of staff of the 31st Army, and the deputy commander of the new 19th Division is actually Kan Weiyong, and the chief of staff is transferred by Zhao Guolong. Qin Jing, commander of the new 19th Division, was also transferred at the same time, and Huang Heling, deputy commander of the 46th Army, concurrently served as the commander of the new 19th Division, becoming the oldest division commander in the Guangxi Army, and Luo Huo, deputy commander of the New 19th Division, became the longest deputy division in the Gui Army.

What is depressing is that Chen Zhengxin, who stayed in southwest Guangxi for half a year and did not catch a battle, was transferred back to the 46th Army Headquarters. With the 31st Army taking over, it was time for the special service group to return to its position. The enemy in southwest Guizhou was handed over to the 31st Army, and the responsibility for the Qinlian area was given to the 46th Army. After the Guards Brigade moved westward, the remnants of the Fifth Division in Nanning were even weaker, shrinking in all directions, and the Japanese troops who had confronted the Ninth Army at Qibatang retreated to Santang, and the Japanese troops in the peak pass strictly defended Su Zuxin's 135th Division day and night, and Lieutenant General Akito Nakamura had a very difficult time.
