Chapter 601: Rush to Guangxi
Chapter 601: Rush to Guangxi
Worry is of course worry.
But the problem is?
This……
"Okamura-kun, you and I are all very clear. We have no way out. We all know that they will definitely treat us as fat sheep to be slaughtered. It's something we already know, so why bother to think so much about it?"
What if you think he won't kill you?
"Yes, General, no matter how hard we think about it, we can't avoid this."
Hey……
That's what he said, but his heart...
It would be great if this kid wasn't in the Ninth War Zone.
"General, Miss, we just received news that the 74th Army has left Changsha."
Ok……
Okamura Neiji's eyes lit up instantly and he looked at Nakamura who had come in and asked, "Where did they go?"
"The 74th Army was transferred to the Guangxi battlefield."
"Where is Zhou Weiguo? Did Zhou Weiguo's troops go?" Okamura Ningji asked excitedly.
As long as this bastard is not in Changsha, we will have a good life in the future.
"The independent regiment also went to the Guangxi battlefield."
"Okay." Okamura Neiji felt that the dark clouds above his head had disappeared. As long as Zhou Weiguo was not there, as long as he was not there, he would have a good life.
Happy, isn't it too early?
Nanjō Yunko could see the smug smile on Okamura Yasuji's face.
But is it really that simple? He went to the battlefield in Guangxi and never came back. I'm afraid that may not be the case.
The 74th Army, with nearly 58 men, led by the th Division as the vanguard, left Changsha in a murderous manner, then entered Yong'an from the direction of Huaihua, and then headed north from Yong'an. After much haste, they finally entered the territory of Guangxi.
Commander Zhang, who had arrived here a long time ago to command the battle, directly deployed the 74th Army on the second line. Firstly, to allow them to rest and recuperate, and secondly, to enable troops to be quickly delivered when an emergency occurred in the front.
The places that should be given up have been given up. The transportation routes for foreign aid have also been cut off. From now on, this side will not give up the way.
Fortunately, the day after the Japanese army attacked Guangxi, Europe and the United States judged the Japanese army's intentions and urgently provided material assistance to the mountain city.
This included twenty tanks, fifty trucks, weapons and ammunition production lines, and a batch of medicines urgently transferred from the hospital barracks under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of the Far East.
They also knew very well that with the road cut off, the mountain city would not be able to obtain any reinforcements in the short term. If they did not have reinforcements and could not continue fighting, this group of people might have to surrender.
This is not something they can see.
"Old Zhou."
It has been more than two hours since we entered the base.
Zhou Weiguo had just returned from a patrol with Fang Shengli. After confirming the deployment of the sentries and anti-aircraft machine guns, he was ready to return to the regiment headquarters to hold a battalion-level military meeting.
Guangxi is a place where ethnic minorities gather. When troops fight here, they need to abide by some local customs and habits, otherwise they may easily get into trouble.
This was an order issued by Uncle Zhang, and it was also mentioned repeatedly at the recent emergency meeting of the military.
Zhou Weiguo and Jiang Yue turned around at the same time, and saw Takeshita Shun, Miyamoto Shigeru, Liu San and a few others staggering towards them.
Seeing these men fully armed, Zhou Weiguo leaned against the door and asked, "Are you planning to go out again?"
"Walk around, walk around." Takeshita Shun pointed at the small group of soldiers following him. This was the most elite force in the entire independent regiment. If they pulled out every one of them, four or five ordinary Japanese soldiers would not be able to get close to them. Of course, their treatment was not small. Even Liu San, who was currently only a private, was treated like a lieutenant.
These are what the team deserves.
"Is there anything wrong? If not, then I'm going to leave."
Takeshita Shun took two long drags on his cigarette. "I've heard from the civilians fleeing the war that many people in Guangxi have become their running dogs. As a responsible soldier, I certainly don't want to see this happen."
This shows that he is a very responsible person.
"Go ahead, I have nothing to do with you here."
As long as the Japanese offensive momentum is stopped between Areas 6 and 7, and they are not allowed to slip into Yunnan and affect this foreign aid line, the role of the small team in the Guangxi battlefield is not very big. After all, they cannot really destroy their transportation line.
The mountain city still has to rely on this transportation line to gain benefits from Europe and the United States.
He made his money, I made mine, and the impact wasn't huge. Guangxi was also close to Vietnam, so many people were involved in business. They tended to return to their roots, and many people, with their money, didn't want to leave. So, many chose to go along with the Japanese army.
Since they have this idea, you can't blame me for taking action against them.
Several battalion commanders arrived, including Sun Xinpu, commander of the Sixth Battalion.
He was indeed an unlucky person, because he was a person stationed in the army by the Second Bureau. Most of the time, he was monitoring the students studying in Germany, and only had a small part of his time to study.
It is safe to say that he did not learn much in Germany.
The 27th Army suffered a crushing defeat on the Henan battlefield. However, Sun Xinpu, with his own battalion, actually learned the offensive methods proposed by the military academy despite the enemy's superior forces.
A battalion was almost wiped out by the enemy in less than ten minutes. There was a reason why they were not promoted.
Even Fang Shengli knew that the prerequisite for charging against the Japanese was to destroy the enemy's artillery and the front-line machine gun positions. If these two places were not destroyed, no matter how many people you went up, you would all die.
At the beginning, the Gui army was not afraid of death. One group launched a charge, and tens of thousands of people were wiped out in a short time.
You can't get through at all because their machine guns are deployed in a cross-fire pattern.
After explaining all the points that needed attention this time and making sure that the battalion commanders understood, Zhou Weiguo ended the meeting. He was ready to have a good chat with Sun Xinpu, but he hadn't opened his mouth yet.
Du Xiaoyue, who was on duty today and was in charge of telegraph transmission, walked over to Zhou Weiguo with a message in hand. "Commander, an urgent message from the military headquarters."
Zhou Weiguo took the message and snorted coldly, "The 104th Division is very fast. They reached Yuezhen in just one day."
"Yuezhen?" Fang Shengli, who had just taken out a cigarette and was about to light it, asked, "He doesn't care about the 18th Division next door."
What courage he had! He abandoned the 18th Division and ran forward more than kilometers alone. They were not afraid and let the troops here surround him.
"The Gui army can't defeat them." Zhou Weiguo folded his arms and walked to the map. Then his eyes fell on the location of the 74th Army and added, "And we are a newly arrived and exhausted army. What do they have to be afraid of?"
"So what do we do next?"
Should we continue to rest or deal with this arrogant 104th Division?
