Chapter 341 Is He Treating Me Like a Fool?
Yu Huohuo shuddered.
There are not many people who scare him, but the one in front of him is definitely one of them.
"No." Yu Huohuo raised his eyes slightly and looked towards the Yangtze River; "I... I just don't want to fight with their navy."
In the counterattack of the Jiang Defense Fortress, although we managed to seize four destroyers from the enemy, he witnessed the brutality of that battle with his own eyes. Less than one-third of the personnel of the Jiang Defense Second Battalion were left.
Less than two-thirds of the coastal defense artillery remained. After the battle, there were many craters ten meters above the ground, and even more craters ten meters below the ground.
After all, what matters here is a burial, but the defenders of the river defense forts were basically dead.
The troops in his hands can die, but those who don't want to die are worthless.
Commander Bai didn't expect that such a brave general would be afraid. However, thinking about the battle that lasted for more than two hours, who wouldn't be afraid?
"Then let's attack the army. Although there is a gap in equipment, fortunately we can make up for it with numbers and terrain." At this point, Commander Bai looked at the adjutant beside him; "Go collect and purchase merchant ships, sink the ships on the river surface of Ma'an Fortress again, and intercept the Japanese navy from the river surface. In addition, report to Wuhan, quickly transfer a batch of anti-aircraft weapons, and ask the higher-ups to transfer the Fifth Army to join the battle."
The Fifth Army is the best-equipped army at present, which is unmatched by any other army in the country, especially the 200th Division, which is a fully mechanized force. They haven't even gone into battle in such a big war. When are they going to come out? Are they going to wait until the country is destroyed before they show up?
No matter how good-looking the things are or how good the equipment is, they still have to be pulled out. If not, they are just vases, good-looking but useless. What's the point of using them? They are just eating for free.
"I always feel that we have been eating free meals during this period."
Chaoxiang Xiuling took a bite of food and said something depressed.
Xiao Ya, who was sitting next to him, had a headache. She felt that bringing Zhao Xiang Xiuling back to the independent regiment was simply the most wrong decision Awen had ever made.
It is said that the Independent Regiment is noisy, and the Independent Regiment Headquarters is even more noisy. But now it seems that compared with Chaoxiang Xiuling, the Independent Regiment Headquarters are simply good people. At least their own Awen will not cause trouble.
As long as the Japanese army does not provoke him, he generally will not take action. But this girl is different. As long as she stops, she will come up with a trick, and every trick she comes up is accurate. Awen will definitely do it, because there are benefits. And Ono is now also influenced by Chaoxiang Xiuling.
"You have another good idea." Ono picked up the bowl of rice and felt that the fish soup in the bowl was no longer fragrant.
Xiao Ya glared at him and said, "Shut up, you can't even shut your mouth when you eat."
Ono stopped talking, but still looked at Chaoxiang Xiuling with eager eyes for hints.
Just tell me what you have in mind. You said they won’t cause you any trouble.
Zhou Weiguo took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, drank a mouthful of fish soup, and then hummed, "It's a bit of a waste of food."
Since Lao Zhou said so, there is no problem. Ono put down the soup bowl; "Yes, since we seized four destroyers from the Jiangfang Battery, the Japanese army and the navy suddenly stopped fighting. There is no fighting on the front line, which is not a good thing."
The point is that the independent regiment didn't actually gain much benefit from the battle at the river defense fort. He did arrange for people to salvage the sunken ship and retrieved a few anti-aircraft machine guns from it, but those machine guns were used for defense by the river defense fort.
It can be said that the independent group had a thankless job this time. They came up with an idea but didn't get much benefit. They were just given some verbal commendations and some liquor, which they don't lack. There was no actual action at all. At least you should give them some money."
"You can't sit still." Xiao Yana didn't know what these people were thinking. No matter what the Japanese army did, they just wanted to rob.
Ono lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhao Xiang Xiu Ling giggled, put down her bowl, and took Xiao Ya's hand; "Sister Xiao Ya, we have nothing to do anyway, so why don't we take advantage of the transfer of power to seek more benefits for ourselves."
"Yes, we have to fight anyway. What's the difference between them fighting us and us fighting them? And now, the Japanese army thinks that we are on high alert and recuperating, and will not launch an active attack on them. Then we have to do the opposite and let them know how powerful we are."
Ono clenched his fists and looked full of energy. What else could Xiao Ya say?
If you don't hit others, they will hit you.
"It's up to you." In fact, Xiao Ya also planned to get the independent regiment moving. After not fighting for a few days, the spirit of the independent regiment had dropped a lot. As for what could improve their spirit, there was only one way. Let these people fight and rob money.
"Who are you going to attack?" Xiao Ya didn't even need to think about it. She was sure that the people in front of her might have already chosen their targets.
"The 6th Division?" On the transport plane heading to the 11th Army Headquarters, the adjutant looked at the general in front of him with a buzzing mind.
This guy, isn't he a little too anxious?
Back in Tokyo, in order to be able to return to the front line, the General asked him to tell everyone about the destruction of the Hata Detachment. Now Tokyo is very dissatisfied with the commander of the 11th Army, General Okamura Yasuji.
In addition, the contradictions between the navy and the army intensified. In order to quell the failure of the navy's river defense artillery, the higher-ups decided to replace him. In order to make the general's efforts during this period of time worthwhile, he finally got his wish and replaced General Okamura Yasuji as the commander of the 11th Army.
However, you haven't even taken over yet, but you're already making decisions here, wanting to transfer the 6th Division to the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou direction to perform guard duties instead of having it participate in front-line combat.
You have slapped the face of the 6th Division before you took over. What will the people of the 6th Division think? Besides, they will pay attention to you. Now, you are not the commander of the 11th Army.
"Your Excellency General, I have no objection to transferring the 6th Division to Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou to perform security missions, but now, isn't it too hasty?" The adjutant reminded him kindly.
You haven't even taken up your position yet, but you've already made things awkward between you and your subordinates. You can ask the 6th Division to move to the back, but aren't the other divisions worried that you'll transfer them away?
After all, the 6th Division went to the front line after the destruction of the Hata Detachment. Their combat effectiveness is not weak. Why do you want to transfer them back?
Terauchi Hisaichi glanced at his adjutant, then fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said bitterly, "You are right. If we mobilize them now, they may not listen to me. In this case, let's not fly directly to the 11th Army Headquarters for the time being, and go to Shanghai first."
"General, I don't understand why you...why don't you just go and take over the position directly?" When we set out, didn't we say we would go directly to the 11th Army? Why has the plan changed now?
