Chapter 1623: If you are not in your position, don’t do your politics
"Nani?"
"The Ninth Brigade has also lost contact?"
"How could it be..."
Ando Riki actually felt a little horrified.
After one night, the situation worsened so?
The 21st Brigade was almost wiped out, and now it is the 9th Brigade's turn?
Baga...
If something happened to the 9th Brigade, the entire 5th Division will be ruined again.
It's really bad luck...
This Fifth Division is indeed beyond salvation.
If you encounter a little bit of a strong opponent, you will immediately go to the street. Don’t count on it in the future.
It’s better to throw it to the south to deal with the indigenous people. Even the Chinese could not beat them and they had no face to go back to the Kwantung Army sequence.
"Your Excellency, Colonel Watanabe is attacking Kunlun Pass."
"attack?"
"Yes. He ordered an attack."
"Well. Let him maintain his last dignity!"
Ando Riki waved his hand.
This is not the point.
The point is to ask for help.
"Ask tactical guidance from the Army Command immediately."
"Tie!"
"Order the Dadao Independent Mixed Brigade to withdraw to Nanning. There is no need to continue to reinforce."
"Tie!"
"Be careful of the words."
"Tie!"
The Chief of Staff agreed.
Obviously, the division commander gave up the Fifth Division.
Or, I never expected it.
This battle brought the Fifth Division back to its original state and completely fell.
However, these facts cannot be written in the war report, otherwise they will be ridiculed by others.
Especially the navy red deer if you know it.
At present, the Fifth Squadron of the Navy Malu is still in Qinzhou Bay.
They are responsible for transporting the army to the shore. They have not left yet and are still wandering on the sea.
It is said that there are special tasks, and it is related to the French.
"Your Excellency, please check it out."
After thinking for a while, the Chief of Staff drafted the battle report.
The general meaning is, the respected military commander, we are attacking Kunlun Pass.
We have made very significant progress. We are only one step away from Kunlun Pass, and we will soon completely defeat the enemy on the other side.
There is no doubt that the achievements we have achieved are brilliant. We have won a very important honor for the Great Japanese Empire.
However, just as the door to victory was about to open, we were still a little bit of strength.
In the bloody battle ahead, all the soldiers of the 21st Brigade advanced bravely and actively sacrificed their lives for His Majesty the Emperor. Most of them were broken.
The 9th Brigade has now attacked in front of Kunlun Pass. It only takes a little reinforcement to win the Kunlun Pass and win the battle.
Really, we are only a little bit away from Kunlun Pass...
Just a last step...
So, please give us a little more help...
“Very good, send it out.”
"Tie!"
The Chief of Staff immediately went to make arrangements.
Soon, the telegram arrived at Sanya. The 21st Japanese Army Command.
After conquering Guangzhou and Nanning, the 21st Japanese invaders set up their headquarters in Sanya and trained their troops in the jungle of Hainan Island.
It is mainly island landing warfare and tropical rainforest warfare. Their goals are self-evident.
Of course, this is strictly confidential.
"Your Excellency Commander, the Fifth Division is in danger!"
The Chief of Staff rushed over.
They are all experts. You can know the key points as soon as you read the telegram.
Most of them are broken. That is synonymous with the annihilation of the entire army.
It is only a little distance from Kunlun Pass, but it can't be taken down, which means that the Fifth Division has been crippled and has no combat power.
In other words, the Fifth Division has suffered a devastating blow and is over again.
The last time I finished my life in Taierzhuang. This time it was at Kunlun Pass.
What a bad luck Fifth Division.
"Chief of Staff, don't be nervous. The Osaka Division can set off at any time."
Gan Lang from Guzhuang said slowly.
He is in poor health and he spends most of his time recuperating.
This time, the General Headquarters moved to Sanya, which is also convenient for recuperation. The climate here is very good.
The ones who are training in the jungles of Hainan Island are the Fourth Japanese Division, which is the Osaka Division. They have strong acceptance capabilities.
"God General, this is a telegram for help from the Fifth Division."
“Is the situation very critical?”
"They are not surrounded by the enemy for the time being. However, they have suffered heavy losses. Two brigade commanders and five brigade commanders are Yuzai."
"Nani?"
Guzhuang Ganlang was finally a little surprised.
Unable to be surrounded, there were so many casualties? What kind of tactic is this?
Is the luck of the Fifth Division really so unlucky?
Last time I was in Taierzhuang, I was surrounded by the enemy's superior forces and suffered heavy damage.
Why would you suffer such tragic losses if you were not surrounded this time?
Is Ando Riki a pig? If you can't beat it, won't you transfer?
Baga...
They are all pigs.
I don't understand the essence of the battlefield.
If you can't beat it, run away! What are you stupid?
Have you all gone to study Nogi Hinomi?
Everyone learns from Nogi Hinomi. How many people in the Imperial Army are enough to die?
Baga!
Elm head!
Learn from others’ Osaka Division!
Now, I'm beaten away, and then I come to ask for help?
I'll deal with you Ando Riki...
Oh, Ando Riki is a close relative of the royal family. He has already decided to take over his position. Then forget it.
Anyway, the Fifth Division has been wiped out once, and it’s no big deal to be wiped out again.
The task of rebuilding again will be handed over to Imamura.
He has been appointed to replace Ando Rikihi as the new division commander of the Fifth Division.
"chief of staff."
"exist."
“Where is the 33rd and 37th Division?”
"Report to the Commander, the 33rd Division is in Fangcheng and is ready to load the ship. The 37th Division is still in Qinzhou."
"You immediately order the 37th Division to Nanning to bring the Fifth Division back."
"Commander, come back? Is it a limited war?"
"The base camp is doing its best to carry out the Wuhan battle. We should not be in trouble on our side, so as not to be distracted by the base camp."
"What if the enemy continues to attack Nanning?"
"That's another thing. I guess the enemy doesn't have that courage. They are also doing their best to prepare for the Battle of Wuhan."
"I understand. The 33rd Division continues to load ships and come to Hainan Island for training."
"Yes."
"I'll make arrangements right away."
The Chief of Staff agreed and turned around and left.
After being told by the military commander, he felt that nothing was important.
At most, you don’t want Kunlun Pass anymore. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t have to be occupied.
Just control Nanning.
Nanning is a city, and it is enough for the Japanese army to station a division.
The national army's troops in Guizhou Province were also very empty. It was impossible to besiege Nanning. So calm.
When the situation stabilizes, an independent mixed brigade will be arranged to go to Nanning to take over the defense, and the Fifth Division will be withdrawn and supplemented to the rear.
The standing division team has such privileges. No matter how much the losses are, they can be given priority supplementation.
There is no way, the number of the standing division cannot be cancelled.
Even if the base camp is dissatisfied, it must maintain the decency of the army.
The army has only seventeen standing divisions, and no one can be cancelled.
...
“Specialist.”
"What's this?"
"Roasted sweet potatoes."
"oh."
Zhang Yong reached out to take it.
Wei Zhiyuan handed it to him.
The specialty of Guizhou Province is roasted sweet potatoes. It is called roasted sweet potatoes in the mainland.
Needs professional skills.
Instead of simply burying it underground and burning the fire, it is a special mound of soil in the wild. Then burning the fire and putting sweet potatoes in it.
Zhang Yong doesn’t understand how to operate it. Anyway, it’s the patented technology of young people in Guizhou.
The sweet potatoes roasted in this way are the most delicious.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Blow and peel.
Roasted sweet potatoes must be hot, and eating them hot is the most fragrant.
"Pu hook!"
"Pu hook!"
Intermittent gunfire.
It was the Japanese invaders who were attacking, ignoring and continuing to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
All the Japanese invaders' mountain cannons have been knocked out. There is no long-range heavy firepower. Return to the light infantry state.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the newly formed 19th Division must be put into battle.
Practical training. Slowly exercise.
The Kuomintang army currently has a terrain advantage and is condescending.
Although the Japanese invaders had two or three thousand troops, they could not fully implement them and could only adopt the tactic of adding fuel to them.
"Wei Zhiyuan, I'll leave it to you."
"yes."
"Drive whatever you want. Don't be stingy with ammunition. I will replenish as much as you consume."
"yes."
Wei Zhiyuan was in full bloom.
What kind of good things are so happy.
Ammunition tube is enough.
In just four words, it is the confidence to win.
The training before the 19th Division of the new edition was seriously insufficient, and each person shot twenty shots were shot.
This is only after Zhang Yong arrived that he received such treatment.
If it were before, there wouldn't be a single shot.
When we arrived on the battlefield, each person had only thirty bullets. It took one day to shoot.
Only by following the Commissioner can you create your own heart.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the gunshots became lively.
Regardless of whether there are or not, the Gui soldiers began to shoot.
Still far away?
It's okay. There's enough ammunition. After shooting, you can move it back.
What if you have good luck and hit it?
"Dadada..."
"Dadada..."
Many Czech light machine guns are also firing.
In fact, the machine gunners couldn't see clearly where the Japanese invaders were. They were just a group of black dots and still pulled the trigger.
As a training session, be familiar with how to shoot and how to change magazines. If necessary, you have to change the barrel.
Although it is a 30 round bend magazine, it will be finished soon.
"Spot shot!"
"Spot shot!"
Some officers cursed people irritably.
If you find that you don’t listen, you just go up and you just kick it.
The education on the National Army is like this. I yelled first and then beat it. The memory is deep.
Zhang Yong didn't stop him.
No support, no objection, no promotion.
The Red Party can do it because others have faith.
If you beat you up, you can improve your combat effectiveness and make you survive on the battlefield. It's worth it.
Squat down.
Holding a telescope to observe.
"Bang bang..."
"Boom..."
Mortars are also being fired.
But Zhang Yong did not command it himself.
Leave it to the artillery themselves. They also need practical training.
Experience can be accumulated.
Most skills are proficient.
Proficiency will improve, and technology will definitely improve.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
I noticed that many Gui army soldiers fired very fiercely.
The bolt was pulled very quickly. After five rounds of bullets were fired, they immediately reloaded, and then they were fired and loaded again...
OK, just hit it.
There is enough ammunition tube. Don't worry about the barrel being red.
If you bolt the rifle, it is impossible to hit the barrel of the gun to turn red. At most, it is just a bit hot.
"Baga!"
"What's going on?"
"So fierce fire?"
On the Japanese invaders, Colonel Watanabe has rich experience in the battlefield.
When I heard the gunshots coming from the mountain, I immediately realized that the national army's technical and tactical level was very average.
The gunshots were so messy. It was obviously lack of training. The consistency was poor. The soldiers could do whatever they wanted and fired randomly.
The gunshots were quite dense. However, there were not many Japanese soldiers hit, which meant that the shooting effect was very poor.
If the Japanese army were replaced on the opposite side, there would have been heavy casualties here.
In fact, it is impossible for the Japanese army to shoot at such a long distance. It must be at least within 200 meters.
so……
"Fish belly!"
"Sick man from East Asia!"
Colonel Watanabe finally concluded.
The opponent may just be more intense in artillery fire. In fact, the infantry is very poor.
Just so happens that in such mountainous terrain, the Japanese army can use their advantages in night battles to defeat the enemy.
Immediately ordered the troops to fight in the form of a small team.
As a result, the red dots gradually dispersed.
Some red dots start to attack along the ridges and ridges.
"I command!"
"yes."
Zhang Yong came to a 81mm mortar.
I personally adjusted this mortar and bombed the mountains where the Japanese invaders launched a raid. This is a reminder for the infantry of the National Army.
Wherever there are shells falling, Japanese invaders appear. Be careful.
"boom……"
"boom……"
The shells exploded intermittently.
In the fire, there were indeed shadows of Japanese invaders flashing. There were still quite a lot of them.
In terms of technology and tactics alone, the Japanese invaders are indeed the one who has a strong advantage. At least they are at level 50. The National Army is full of level 10 trumpets.
However, the National Army seemed to have added points to the agility. Therefore, moving in the mountains was faster than the Japanese invaders.
"boom……"
"boom……"
A muffled sound kept coming.
It was a grenade explosion.
The Gui army soldiers were condescending, and grenades were the best weapon.
Simple.
practical.
Just throw it at the Japanese invaders.
No matter how well the Japanese invaders hide, they may be bombed.
The premise is that the number of grenades is sufficient.
Just right...
It's really enough.
Grenades are also ammunition.
As long as you can carry it, it will be fine to hang it all over your body.
then……
The enemy and us fought between the mountains and valleys.
The sound of gunfire and explosion continued. But no one screamed. It might be that the sound was too weak and covered by the explosion.
Xia Wei and Xu Yaoting were all following Zhang Yong to watch the battle.
Both of them admire Zhang Yong's ability to act.
The one who is shot is accurate!
They can't do it.
"I'm old..."
Hawei picked up a Japanese-style 38 rifle.
Load five bullets and then fire at the Japanese invaders. The distance is about 230 meters.
Zhang Yong saw from the telescope that three Japanese invaders were hit. It was judged that Hawei was hit by the old army and had excellent marksmanship.
"Commander-in-Chief Xia is still braver!"
Zhang Yong flatters.
The Guangxi clan always has a sense of crisis of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
After all, the biggest enemy of the Guangxi clan is the bald man. If the bald man dies for a day, the Guangxi clan will not be able to live in peace.
"Shame, ashamed..."
Hawei put down the 38th cover and shook his head with a smile.
Zhang Yong also smiled all over his face. He understood that the other party was intentional and reminded himself that the cinnamon system is not a vegetarian.
In the eyes of the Guangxi clan, I have always been the loyal dog-legged bald one.
"You both are amazing..."
Xu Yaoting made a smooth move, so she smiled.
Continue to hold up a telescope to observe the live battlefield.
The battle is not very intense. It is all a collision between light infantry and in the darkness again.
I can only say that the newly compiled 19th Division did not suffer much.
There must be casualties. But they are smaller than the Japanese invaders. After all, the Japanese invaders are attacking.
The one who caused major casualties to the Guangxi clique was the Japanese invaders' grenade launcher. This little thing had a very vicious lethality.
A few Japanese veterans played very accurately and ran away after fighting. It was very disgusting.
However, the mortars of the Kuomintang quickly targeted the other side, which also caused great casualties to the Japanese invaders.
On some mountains, the bodies of Japanese invaders began to overlap, and blood flowed into a river.
"Dadada..."
"Dadada..."
A small team of cavalry arrived to the north.
The leader of the Fifth Army was the deputy chief of staff.
"Commander-in-Chief Xia!"
"Director Xu!"
"Specialist Zhang!"
Comfortable and hurried to the three of them.
The three of them saw the joy on his face. They all knew there was good news.
"Good news! Our army successfully recaptured Jiujiang!"
"The Japanese invaders have retreated to Anqing!"
Comfortable and loud report.
Zhang Yong:...
It's indeed good news.
Okamura Yasuji really didn't defend Jiujiang.
Chen Cheng still won the battle! He actually drove Okamura Yanji away.
"good."
"good."
Xia Wei and Xu Yaoting were both very happy.
It should be from the heart. After all, there are also Guangxi troops participating in this matter.
In the Fifth War Zone, there are many Guangxi troops. The Seventh Army and the 46th Army are all there. There are also the 48th Army near Hankou. They are all the main forces of the Guangxi Army!
"The commissioner is very happy and ordered a commendation! Chief Chen Cheng was awarded a Guoguang Medal..."
Before Shu Shu finished speaking, everyone else looked at Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong:???
No. What do you think I do?
It seems like I'm jealous.
Please, I wish Chen Cheng could get the Guoguang Medal!
Otherwise, if I wear seven Guoguang medals alone, it would be too abrupt. I will send them quickly.
It is best to send a few more people, so that I am nothing but everyone else.
At this moment, the bald man should be very happy. Finally, someone else has emerged.
It just so happened that this person and Zhang Yong were incompatible. This was safer.
"Didn't Commander Liu Zhi in the Ninth War Zone?" Zhang Yong suddenly felt his mind, "Didn't Commander Li in the Fifth War Zone?"
"I haven't heard of it yet." Shuxuecun replied.
Xia Wei's smile gradually solidified. Xu Tingyao also gradually became solemn.
Chen Cheng was the only one. There was no commander and commander of the two major war zones. It seemed to have a vague taste.
"Sir." Shu Xun submitted another telegram to Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong took it and opened it.
It must be specially sent to him by the command department.
Ask if the Fifth Army could be transferred back to the Ninth War Zone and exchanged with the newly formed 23rd Division.
Zhang Yong tilted his head and narrowed his eyes.
"What's going on?"
"There are many losses to siege Jiujiang, and new forces are needed..."
“How much is the loss?”
"The specific statistics are not clear. However, the 71st Army and the 74th Army are no longer able to fight."
"Um?"
Zhang Yong vaguely realized that it was not good.
Perhaps, the national army fell into the trap of the Japanese invaders.
The Japanese invaders may have used the Jiujiang Battle to consume the elite of the national army and then counterattacked.
The main force of the national army was severely weakened, and then launched a large-scale attack and rushed all the way to the city of Hankou.
However, this is all someone else's business.
It has nothing to do with him Zhang Yong.
If he is not in his position, he will not do his own affairs. Zhang Yong can take it and let it go.
If I ask me to take care of it, I will take care of it.
I won't let me care, I will never ask.
Just so happens that the display range of the empty finger map is limited.
He is far away in Guilin, and the map of the Kongfinger can only cover Nanchang, excluding Jiujiang and Wuhan.
Actually, it's nothing, a calm mind.
The Japanese invaders surrendered and got out immediately.
You have to transfer the Fifth Army, no problem. I can agree.
Originally, the Fifth Army was not the team I inspected by Zhang Yong, nor was it trained by me.
"Director Xu!"
"exist."
"This is the order of the Commander. You must transfer your Fifth Army back to Changsha to prepare for war. I have agreed. You should immediately gather the team, go north to Guilin, and then take the train back to Changsha!"
"us?"
Xu Tingyao was very surprised.
Unexpectedly, the battle was transferred before it was finished.
By the way, did the National Army suffer such heavy casualties in Jiujiang? Need to draw the Fifth Army back to help?
"Action as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Xu Tingyao agreed.
Hawei wanted to speak but stopped.
The Fifth Army is leaving now? Wouldn't that be...
The battle has not been finished yet! Such a play!
However, the Fifth Army is a bald direct lineage, and he does not want the Fifth Army to stay in Guizhou for a long time.
"etc!"
Zhang Yong remembered something.
The three 155mm howitzers must be left behind.
That is my killer weapon.
Of course, Xu Yaoting said there was no problem and ordered the howitzer to stay.
"Let's go!"
"yes!"
Soon, Xu Yaoting and Shu Xun left together.
Xia Wei looked at Zhang Yong and finally sighed helplessly. His expression was mixed with emotion.
Now it's OK.
The Fifth Army was taken away.
All the elite troops of the national army were gone.
