News of the Expeditionary Force
"Yaga! Yaga! Anan Weiji slapped his subordinates and scolded, "The two brigades can't break through the defense line of a branch division, you are simply a shame for the imperial soldiers!" "Your Excellency, Commander, we've found out! The reason why Watanabe did not take it was because he had the Liuhai Artillery Brigade known as the God of Artillery in the Shina Army to support him, this artillery brigade was the elite of the Shina Army, equipped with a 50 heavy artillery, and it was he who brought great difficulties to Watanabe-kun! A Japanese division commander said. Watanabe has been loyal.,I've heard of that cannon god bangs.,Do you have detailed information? Anan asked a few times. Yes! This person is a graduate of the German Military Academy, as early as the 128 Shanghai Incident, he fought with our army, and then followed Du Yuming's Fifth Army of the Chinese Army, and participated in many combat operations with our army. The section chief of the special high section next to him said: "He is the soul of the artillery brigade of this branch of the Chinese army, if you can kill him, the artillery brigade of this Chinese army will no longer have combat power!" "I'm actively planning a third attack on Changsha, and your special high class must find a way to kill him!" Anan Weiji ordered.
"Brigade Commander Liu, it is a miracle that your troops fought against the two brigades of the Japanese army in this operation, and did not let them move forward for a week!" A fat-headed, big-eared officer said to Bangs. "Hehe, it's the soldiers who are working hard, the commander is commanding, I'm just doing my meager part!" Liu Hai said modestly. "Chief Liu... As soon as the officer on the opposite side said this, suddenly his eyes kept looking, looking behind his bangs, and he stopped talking. Liu Hai turned his head strangely, and found that Sima Hong was walking under his costume, and the officer was looking at Sima Hong's eyes straight. "Brigade Commander Liu, can you dance with the little girl?" Sima Hong's eyes are like silk. "Very happy!" Liu Hai stretched out his hand gentlemanly and pulled Sima Hong onto the dance floor! "Brigade Commander Liu, today's celebration dinner is specially for your combat troops in Dayun Mountain, and that division commander is already the deputy commander, haven't you thought about being promoted to a higher level?" Sima Hong said. "The largest artillery unit of the national army is the brigade level, and my promotion is over!" Bangs said with a smile. "You have to be careful lately, the Japanese are going to attack you, the specific situation is not clear, but it should be soon, so I suggest that you don't come out and wander around blindly when you have nothing to do, just stay in the barracks!" Sima Hong pretended to be emotional, hugged his bangs, and said in his ear, "It's likely that we are the ones who have been bribed internally, so you have to be more careful!" "Thank you! I'll be careful! Bangs expressed gratitude.
"Who told you that? Xie Ming? Zhou Yuan looked at his bangs and asked. You don't have to worry about this, I ask you if there is any news! Bangs asked. I'll have to go back and ask about this, I remember you were all out of the woods before! Zhou Yuan said. It's also now, but this army still needs me, through this operation I understand a truth, as long as the soul of a unit exists, then he is an iron army, Dayunshan Division Commander's subordinates from the company commander to the platoon commander, and then to the regiment commander, which one is willing to die for an order from his division commander, the blocking battle was very tragic, a regiment of national soldiers died of six people left, and a devil wing was put together alive, if it was replaced by other troops, it would have collapsed long ago, But they knew that their division commander was behind them, so no one took half a step back, and almost all of them died at their posts. What I think again is that I can also build an artillery brigade into such an iron unit by myself! "That's why it's a matter of life!" Zhou Yuan said, "Don't worry, I won't let you have anything to do with public or private!" But there is one thing more important than this, that is, the Americans asked us to form a force, go south out of the border, march into Burma, open up and defend the international transportation line, the name is the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and your Fifth Army is also on the list, so you must be ready to fight abroad! Zhou Yuan said. Chinese Expeditionary Force? Fighting abroad? Hit Burma? "Bangs sound a little incredible." That's right, but according to our information, the Japanese are planning to attack Hong Kong, and the Japanese 11th Army will respond to it, and the target is likely to be Changsha, and the chairman means that you will withdraw from the theater of operations, enter a period of recuperation, and do not participate in the next operation! As for what you said, don't worry, I won't let the Japanese hurt half of your hair, you are a pillar of the party-state! Zhou Yuan said.
"Commander, is the news that we are going to join the expeditionary force true?" Bangs asked. "I'm afraid yes, we have reached an alliance with Britain to jointly send troops to Burma to fight the Japanese army, not only we have to go, but many elite national army troops have to go, if we can't keep the international transportation line, it will be difficult for our war to continue, even if we can hold on, the sacrifice will be great!" Du Yuming said. "Then we have too much work to do, we don't even have a little experience in foreign operations, and we don't have a clue about the cooperation and coordination with the British army, and the support of logistics and supplies!" Bangs said. "It should be much better than us in terms of logistical supplies, and it is said that there will be enough air support and field hospitals, which are provided by the British! But now there is information that the Japanese are still not giving up on Changsha and are planning to carry out another large-scale offensive, originally we were going to recuperate and prepare to participate in the expeditionary force, but the firepower of the combat troops is insufficient, especially when we do not have an air force, artillery is becoming more and more important, so your artillery brigade has to fight another battle, as for the preparations for participating in the expeditionary force, I will ask someone to do it for you! Du Yuming said: "You can go with confidence!" "There is no problem with this, our artillery is no better than infantry, there will not be much loss, not to mention that we are the artillery brigade of the Fifth Army!" When to go to war! Bangs asked. In a few days, we will have to wait for specific combat orders! Du Yuming said.
"Brigadier Commander! Heard we're going to Myanmar? It's true or fake! Liu Xiaoshan was the first to pounce and asked. Yes, our Fifth Army is going to fight in Burma, and we are going too! Liu Hai said, "But before that, we still have to fight with the Japanese in Changsha!" "Let's fight, let's fight, our artillery has been supporting everywhere from the beginning, fighting everywhere, the last time we fought well, although in general we didn't take advantage of anything, but we still beat those two brigades to bullshit!" Brigadier you know what? The last few major wars have not taken advantage of it, and the brothers of the national army are holding back their strength, and they all want to have another big war and teach the Japanese devils a good lesson! Ghost Cannon said. That is, after these few battles, our losses are not small, I heard my fellow countrymen say that several divisions have been beaten badly, and if they come again now, they will really hit the muzzles of the brothers! Wu Fatzi said. In fact, as long as the soldiers work hard and command properly, we can still win the battle! Bangs said, "Tell the brothers to get ready, and in a few days we will be shooting a few shots for the little devils!" ”
"Gentlemen! Now our enemy is going to march to the southern battlefield and form a Chinese expeditionary force to march into Burma, which is very worrying! "Anan Weiji's tone changed" This incident illustrates a problem, that is, the failure of our war in Central China, several major battles have suffered a lot of losses, but they have not eliminated the elite main force of the Chinese army, but let them use a large number of miscellaneous armies to consume our strength, and now what we cannot tolerate is that they actually sent a large number of elites south to Burma, which is not to take our 11th Army in Central China in our eyes at all, so we have to conduct a large-scale operation so that the Chongqing government has to concentrate its forces to fight us. Give up the plan to go south! "Ladies and gentlemen! There is another problem, that is, the base camp has to carry out a plan to move south, but the strength is insufficient, and we have to draw and reduce the supplementary strength of our 11 th Army, and this year we have only half of the ammunition and fuel we have received in previous years, and this has seriously restricted our combat effectiveness! But if we can capture Changsha this time and eliminate the elite field army of the Chinese army, then the Chongqing government will have to give up the plan to go south, so that we can not only plan for the southern operation, but also demonstrate the importance of our 11th army! Do you understand? Anan's chief of staff also stood up and said. Hayi! ”
"So this time the Changsha operation has something to do with the expeditionary force?" Bangs asked. "That's the case, it is because of our stubborn resistance that the Japanese army has lost troops in Central China but gained very little, and several of our main forces in the theater have suffered losses, but the muscles and bones are still there, as long as the new recruits are replenished and weapons are distributed, they are still a national revolutionary army! The commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Anan Wei, received an inquiry that the Japanese base camp's weapons supply to the 11th Army this year has declined, and the reason is that they cannot effectively attack and destroy us, so the Japanese base camp has to concentrate its forces to carry out operations in the south, intending to start from the international transportation line, cut off our foreign aid line, and force us to surrender, so this time Chairman Chiang gave a death order, and we must fight a fierce victory in Changsha! The first is to undermine the morale of the 11th Army, and the second is to ensure that the Japanese army will not have large-scale offensive operations in the near future, so as to better carry out the work of the expeditionary force! Zhou Yuan said the form. That's right! Are you going to Myanmar? Bangs asked Zhou Yuan. It's hard to say, although our Central Command also has some relations over there, but it is not enough, and now that we want to form an expeditionary force, we urgently need to strengthen the intelligence work over there, so that there will be a person who is specifically responsible for it, as for whether it is me or not, then I have to wait for the order of the bureau! Zhou Yuan said. You kid can't drink, you can't shoot artillery, but if you want to say that these chickens and dogs are really good at stealing, if you can go to Burma, we can fight side by side again, with your intelligence support, plus my heavy artillery, it is definitely enough for the little devil to drink a pot! Bangs said. Fight the tiger brothers, it would be great if that was the case! In order to kill little Japan,! ”
