"All of a sudden, there are more than 10,000 good brothers missing. I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and there are a lot fewer people at once. Gao Jianwu, who was marching in a jeep, looked at the endless marching team outside, and his heart was still a little lost.

Even if the crowd was rolling and he couldn't see it at all, Chu Yunfei's departure from an attack group still made Gao Jianwu feel as if he had lost a piece of flesh at once.

"Boss Gao, I was just about to discuss something with you. You see, this Gui Province has always been a place of strong soldiers, and the wolf soldiers of Gui Province are brave and good at fighting, and they are famous all over the world. Now that we have returned to China, it is imperative to expand the team.

Now we are not short of weapons and equipment, and the logistics unit still has a whole division of light weapons, and we will expand it by 30,000 men along the way, and there is not much problem in terms of weapons and ammunition.

The main reason is that the food supply is somewhat difficult, and it is not easy to buy food in various places, let alone tens of thousands of us. Ding Wei, who was sitting next to Gao Jianwu, said through this words.

"yes, I'm thinking about that too, after all, now we're back. It's not easy for us to bring them back abroad, after all, Chinese and overseas Chinese, they have been working abroad for so many years, and many of their sense of identity is actually different from ours.

But here we are all our own people, no matter which province we are, at least we still identify as a nation. Gao Jianwu is also thinking about this problem.

"It's just that if we recruit new recruits, I'm not very worried about manpower, I'm mainly worried that our logistics won't be able to support it."

There are indeed many problems with expanding all the way. Weapons and ammunition are not an issue, and there are always new captures in every battle.

But the food supply is really troublesome, after all, no matter how much is captured in a place, it is impossible to transport it with the team.

The more people, the more complicated the logistics supply became, and after nearly a year of fighting in Nanyang, Gao Jianwu only collected more than 400 trucks and more than 20 jeeps from the hands of the allies.

After all, 1,000 rounds of 155-mm shells are dozens of tons, plus 2,000 rounds of 105-mm shells and 5,000 rounds of 75-mm shells, nearly 200 tons of transportation capacity have been removed at once, plus other weapons and ammunition, leaving very little capacity for transporting grain, and at most the entire army has only transported about 40 tons for backup.

Therefore, for long marches, the main food is that each soldier carries his own dry food for seven days.

Especially when he came back this time, there was no longer a chance for the allies, and he took advantage of the opportunity of annihilating the Saigon General Headquarters of the Southern Army Gao Jianwu fiercely requested a wave of supplies, and even used most of the transportation capacity for the transportation of weapons and ammunition.

After all, this is an American-style weapon and ammunition, and if you use one less ammunition, before returning to the old base area, Gao Jianwu and they will not get any supplements.

"Lao Gao, it may be that your requirements have increased now, so I feel that this matter is a big problem. In fact, in the Long March, our situation was more dangerous, and it was more difficult to replenish, but we still persevered along the way, expanding and moving forward. Ding Wei said to Gao Jianwu with a smile.

"Our newly expanded troops can be armed with captured weapons and equipment. After all, we don't need them to jump into the fight right now, we just need them to be able to keep up with the training along the way. ”

Gao Jianwu's eyes lit up, he really didn't think about it properly, he wanted to treat them as elite troops to equip and train from the beginning, but in fact, under the current situation, there was no need at all, and there was no such condition.

But if we look at it as a supplementary regiment and a guerrilla unit, then the conditions are much better now. Ding Wei is an expert in this regard.

I am still a little out of touch from this era, especially after a long time with the expeditionary force, I feel that the army should be what it is now, in fact, a year ago, everyone did not even have a rifle popular, how can there be these guns now?

"Lao Ding, you are right to remind you, if this is the case, this matter will be handed over to you. During this time in Gui Province, we were able to recruit and march at the same time, and we stayed for three days in each big city. Now that he has figured out the key to this matter, Gao Jianwu immediately put it into practice, in his opinion, there are three days, and it should not be a big problem for each city to recruit two or three thousand people.

After all, at this time, everyone is very poor, and being able to afford to eat is already a luxury for many people. For people with large families, coming out to serve in the army is not necessarily a bad thing.

According to the reputation of the expeditionary force now, after recovering the city occupied by the little devils along the way, Gao Jianwu believes that there should be more people who want to join the army, and there is no need to do too much mobilization.

"No problem, I'll leave this to me." A tool man who is good at the bottom line, Ding Wei agreed very happily.

It is cool to follow someone like Gao Jianwu to do things, because once everyone decides that they can do it, they will implement it immediately, and they will not grind and chirp, and they are still discussing the pros and cons for half a day.

On the one hand, it is beneficial to Gao Jianwu, who has a strong ability to make decisions, and on the other hand, it is also due to his broad vision, for many things, as long as he mentions something, he can immediately think of many useful supplements, so as to make this matter very perfect.

Gao Jianwu and Ding Wei have an impression that they are obviously still a young man, but just like they have experienced a lot of things, as long as this matter is mentioned, many things that are still unpredictable can be made by Gao Jianwu.

What is more terrifying is that what Gao Jianwu deduced will become true, which makes Ding Wei feel very amazing.

With Gao Jianwu's approval, Ding Wei really put the expansion of the team on his top priority, from publicity, organization and registration to training and logistics support, Ding Wei quickly sorted out a complete set of plans, and established the relevant team.

Sure enough, every time he laid down a city occupied by a little devil, Ding Weiwei was able to recruit a lot of people from it, because Gao Jianwu personally commanded the engineering operation, every time he occupied the warehouse, he rushed in as soon as possible, so he seized a lot of food and fuel and other baggage, which was enough to supplement consumption.

There was no shortage of food for the troops at all, and in addition to new battles, the large-scale use of Japanese weapons and equipment began, and in the face of battles at the wing level or even at the brigade level, the main attack team used 75-mm field guns and mountain artillery from the little devils was enough to deal with it.

After knocking out seven or eight cities all the way from Nanhai Island, Gao Jianwu exploded and captured all the way, and soon accumulated 40 Type 41 mountain guns and more than 80 92 infantry guns, and set up two mountain artillery battalions and four infantry artillery battalions on top of the original artillery battalion as the main fire support artillery.

Although it is said that the things of the little devils are a little stretched compared to the American goods that you are used to, these things are still very reliable when used to fight the little devils.

After all, the current number has far exceeded the limit that the little devils can bear, in the face of the little devils at the wing level, Gao Jianwu came up to command the fire coverage of two mountain artillery battalions, plus each main battalion, and also brought a 92 infantry artillery battalion as a follow-up artillery support, how can such a fierce artillery little devil withstand it?

Now almost every battle is an absolute crushing game, and there is no need for large-scale tactical intersperse, so even if the weight of the little devil's 92 infantry gun is much heavier than that of mortars, but for Gao Jianwu, who pushes all the way step by step, these are not problems, when the strength is enough to crush, the dignified and upright is the invincible division.

......

The headquarters of the 23rd Army of the little devils in Yangcheng.

Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, the commander of the little devils, looked at a group of generals of the 23rd Army with a serious expression.

"Gentlemen, the expeditionary force of the second theater of war in China is menacing, and has captured the South China Sea Island and the Leizhou Peninsula controlled by our locusts army, all the way eastward and now advanced to our 23rd army in the Wuyi area, this department is the elite of China, and our southern army has been fighting for many months, according to statistics, the southern army locust army has more than 200,000 jade pieces, which can be described as a big trouble for the locust army."

Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai did not continue the nonsense, but pointed the baton to the map and continued.

"Our army set up the first defensive front in Wuyi, with the 104th Division as the core, relying on Tanjiang and Guifeng and other important places to set up defensive positions to block and weaken the enemy layer by layer.

The second line of defense is to use the 51st Division and the Independent Mixed Ninth Brigade along the Fofan City as the preset battlefield.

The third line of defense is based on the 38th Division and the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade in Yangcheng City.

The 22nd Brigade and the 23rd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade were used as surprise troops to infiltrate the mountainous areas on the west bank of the Tan River from the north and south respectively to lay ambushes, and after the enemy's vanguard troops entered Shuangshui and other places, they would attack to the death, and they must annihilate their vanguard troops in the Shuangshui area and dampen their spirit. ”

"It is believed that this enemy is well-equipped, especially artillery, the position must be left with anti-artillery measures, it is not suitable to assemble heavy troops, the main force stays in the city to fight in the streets, in order to kill and injure a large number of enemies as the greatest priority!"

Listening to the deployment of Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, it was basically mainly street fighting, and the division commanders and brigade commanders present were all pale and awe-inspiring.

It was a terrible fight.

It is said that there are basically no survivors of street fighting.

Seeing everyone's pale faces, Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai knew what these people thought, but now he had no other way to go except this way.

Whether it is artillery or air, the 23rd Army now does not have the strength to confront its opponents. It is only through the phenomenon of blood that there is a glimmer of life.

"You don't have to worry that what happened in Annan can be repeated here with us, because after all, it is their own people who account for more, and from now on we will close the city gates and not allow anyone to enter or leave. All cities have a curfew in place, no entry or exit! ”

Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai said with a fierce face.

"Gentlemen, the time has come to dedicate oneself to the empire and be loyal to Your Majesty, and our twenty-third army will surely pull the expeditionary force on the road with you!"

Gao Jianwu finally met the little devil and the ruthless stubble.

......

"Ding, the 22nd Independent Mixed Brigade and the 23rd Independent Mixed Brigade will arrive in Shuangshui in 8 hours, with more than 16,000 troops..." On the march, Gao Jianwu, who was still six hours away from Shuangshui, received new intelligence information.

After reading this information, Gao Jianwu showed a strange look on his face, because this time was too much of a coincidence.

Obviously, the little devil has some ideas this time.

According to the current marching plan, the first attack group will arrive at Shuangshui in 6 hours. If Gao Jianwu hadn't received this information, the first attack group might have suffered a big loss if he was caught off guard.

After all, at that time, the first attack group, which had not gained a firm foothold, suddenly attacked in the face of the small devils who had the advantage in numbers.

There is no problem in defending on the spot, but because the artillery advantage cannot be brought into play, it is difficult to control the casualties in battle.

In a wide range of infantry field battles, the first attack group, which has replaced light and heavy machine guns with Japanese weapons, basically only has the advantage of rifles. After all, after hand-to-hand combat, the mortar 92 infantry guns were of little use.

The little devil's wishful thinking was really loud, Gao Jianwu closed his eyes and thought about it, and decided to slow down the marching speed of the first attack group, so that the first attack group and the third and fourth attack groups arrived at Shuangshui almost at the same time.

Since the little devil wants to have an encounter, Gao Jianwu might as well let the little devil have a surprise.

Ding Wei of the 1st Attack Group received the order, although he did not understand it, but he still did not hesitate to carry out the order and let the troops slow down.

Because he knows that Gao Jianwu will never let go without it.

Gao effectively responded to the message prompted by the system quickly, but as another telegram message came, Gao Jianwu fell into deep thought, and he thought for three minutes before conveying this message to the commander of the attack group.

All of a sudden, Ding Wei, a veteran of a hundred battles, was excited.

Every eye is about to erupt with fire, and the little devil is too inappropriate to coerce the people of the entire city to fight in the streets as hostages.

Although everyone was very angry about such a horrific atrocity, no one could find a solution for a while.

"Order the 5th Strike Group, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Tank Group to speed up, and be sure to arrive at Shuangshui at the same time as the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Attack Groups, and the Expeditionary Force Cluster Headquarters immediately move forward with the 1st Attack Group Headquarters, and the 6th Attack Group and the remaining battalions of the Tank Group to protect the logistics and artillery groups, and the newly formed 7th Attack Group to advance slowly." In the face of the little devil's frenzied lock-up street battle tactics, ten minutes later, Gao Jianwu issued the second order.

"Order the First Brigade of the Heshan Air Force Cluster to arrive at the clouds of Shuangshui Airspace in 7 hours and stand by for an attack!"

This series of orders contained Gao Jianwu's infinite anger.

Obviously, for the two brigades of the little devils, Gao Jianwu had already issued a killing order for them in his heart, preparing to slaughter them all.

After all, it is all a scourge for such an inhuman little devil to stay.

But Gao Jianwu also knew that even if these two brigades were annihilated, there would be no big change in the street battles in the cities behind, and the main forces of the 23rd Army of the little devils were now huddled in the city, mixed with the common people, and there was basically no other way to think of except for clearing the operation house by house.

It's this kind of urban street fighting, and it's not just the expeditionary force clusters that are a huge disservice. For the local people, the casualties are even heavier.

Little devils don't have much humanity to speak of. Once the street fighting started, in the face of the pressure of death, these little devils went crazy one by one. The first to suffer are the common people.

After all, this is not like Annam, where the city is not walled and most people can run away.

Now the little devils have implemented a policy of curfew and lockdown. It's hard for a person to get out now. So Annan's tactics are completely unfeasible on this side.

In the first battle, Gao Jianwu temporarily put this matter to the back of his mind, after all, now that the little devil has dispatched two brigades to prepare for a sneak attack, he must plan well to leave them all.

Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu closed his eyes and slowly shifted his mind to the topographic map on Shuangshui's side.

The high-definition three-dimensional map provided by the system shows all the more than ten kilometers around Shuangshui. Looking at the criss-crossing roads in the picture and the surrounding mountains, Gao Jianwu empathized and gradually drew in his mind the trajectory route of the little devil's possible actions.

Thinking from the opponent's standpoint, Gao Jianwu gradually figured out the little devil's plan. I have to say that the commander of the little devil still has some tactical ability, according to such a tactical arrangement, if there is no system prompt.

They really have a slight chance of success, after all, there are many mountains and forests in that area, and if the little devils walk day and night, it is very possible to avoid the eyes and ears of the expeditionary force cluster.

This tactic was originally Gao Jianwu's housekeeping skills, but they didn't expect that the little devil would also want to get an axe this time.

Gao Jianwu figured out his opponent's thoughts, and gradually outlined the mountainous range where the little devil lurked on the map. By carefully calculating the distance and time, Gao Jianwu reformulated a battle plan, which was then transmitted to the various units through the radio.

The various attack groups that received Gao Jianwu's new orders. Unquestioning, in accordance with the new order, rushed to his combat position.

......

Eight Road Headquarters.

Headquarters of the border districts.

After receiving the latest information from the expeditionary force cluster, they all slapped the table and were furious.

It's just that anger doesn't solve anything.

When they calmed down and brainstormed, they finally came up with a solution that was not the solution.

On the one hand, he ordered the underground workers to collect relevant evidence and prepare to announce to the world to expose the despicable atrocities of the little devils.

On the other hand, this information was provided to the Allied Command in the theater of operations, and the Allied Command was asked to give the most severe warning to the little devil's frenzied actions.

At the same time, someone wrote a letter of great indignation and impassionedness, explaining the ins and outs of this incident and its consequences in sharp words, and pointed out to the point at the last point: If the 23rd Army is determined to commit this atrocity, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will not guarantee the safety of the lives of the people on any small day, whether it is a soldier or a civilian, nor is it limited to the mainland of China, including any small day on the island, it will be in the liquidation ranks!

When Gao Jianwu commanded the expeditionary force cluster to prepare to eat the two brigades of the 23rd Army of the little devil with all his might, several major centers in the land of Shenzhou that received the news were boiling at the same time.

An unprecedented storm is coming!

......

Small Day Base Camp.

"Stupid Takashi Sakai!" Tojo Chick, who had received the tactical arrangement of the 23rd Army, said to several senior staff members who had been urgently summoned with a gloomy face.

"This idiot will pull us all into the water, and the Empire will suffer a great loss because of this."

"Your Excellency, this matter must not be seized by the Allied side, let alone provide evidence to the Chinese side, now the war has been greatly unfavorable to our empire, the imperial capital has been bombed repeatedly for the Allied forces, once this matter is caught, the bombing of the Allied side is even more unlimited, and the empire will not be able to bear such losses!" A senior aide advised.

Although they all know that the war itself is inhumane, but after all, there are still some bottom lines, and if these most basic bottom lines are broken now, they will no longer be killed or injured only soldiers, and the casualties of the entire empire will increase by geometric numbers, and may even wipe out the country!

】

The recent great defeats in the two great battlefields of the South Sea and the Pacific have given rise to the idea of retreating from the base camp.

In the latest discussion at the base camp, some aides have already put forward a plan and proposal to withdraw from the Kannai and strive to secure Taiwan and work outside the Kanto to reach a peace agreement. After all, Gao Jianwu's expeditionary force cluster is too evil, and there is almost no way to stop them, unless one front army is concentrated.

Only by forming a heavy army group of two or three hundred thousand and gathering the main forces such as the air force and heavy artillery to besiege it can it win. At present, this is almost impossible to achieve, because it would mean giving up a large amount of land in a high-risk battle.

Rather than this, it is better to withdraw with dignity. At least it preserves its strength, and now the Empire is facing more than just expeditionary groups, and even the most formidable opponents are not expeditionary groups.

Now that Takashi Sakai has made such a play, isn't all the retreats blocked?!

That's why Tojo Chick is so angry.

It's just that he also knows that now is not the time for anger alone, but also for proposing solutions.

This matter can't be left to him.

......

"What? The base camp asked us to change our tactics and not to provoke the Chinese and Allied sides with hostage-taking? "After Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai received the latest instructions from the base camp, he was about to explode, so how can he continue to fight?

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, the base camp requires that if the 23rd Army cannot defeat the enemy with regular tactics, then it can now retreat to the Hong Kong and Kowloon area." Intelligence Guan replied with his head down.

In fact, a large section of the information he received pointed to Takashi Sakai, but it was impossible for him to read it completely in the report, but to express the meaning of the base camp clearly in the most concise words.

Even so, Takashi Sakai couldn't stand it anymore.

I saw him walking around in the conference room, his face flushed, and he looked like he had been destroyed, as a senior general in charge of one aspect, Takashi Sakai naturally had his own pride, and it was an unbearable shame for him to reprimand him mercilessly from the base camp.

。

Although Takashi Sakai had briefly thought about the problems that the base camp was worried about, he thought that it was no big deal, as long as he could win, then everything was acceptable.

They've done a lot of excesses, so what's going on now? It's not that there's no way to take them. Takashi Sakai firmly believes that what you can't get on the battlefield is not something you can get outside the battlefield.

However, this time the base camp did not stand on his side, but reprimanded him in a very harsh tone, and Takashi Sakai had to consider the attitude of the base camp, after all, he would leave as soon as he was ordered.

After thinking about it, Sakai Takashi decided to try it in Wuyi first, and then he would not be affected by the life of the foreign monarch, and now he has to send it. As one of the traditional arts of the little devil, Yang Feng Yin violated, and Takashi Sakai also won three of them.
