Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Su Rui smiled slightly and said to everyone: "Now let's ask the chief of staff to explain it to everyone."
At this time, Liang Zhi, who had been standing behind everyone, squeezed in.
If we were to make a ranking list of the people who are most feared by everyone in the Three Hundred Army, the Chief of Staff of the Army would definitely be at the top of the list. To say that Chief of Staff Liang is really capable, starting from the Chief of Staff of the Three Hundred Division
From the chief of staff of the 300th Army, he can do his duties in an orderly manner, and he is also very loyal to Su Rui. Some private matters that are difficult for Su Rui to deal with are usually handled by him. Plus that hundred-year-old Zhang
He has an unchanging poker face and a somewhat weird temper, so under normal circumstances everyone is afraid of him.
Seeing Liang Zhi squeeze in, everyone took a few steps back with a tacit understanding, clearing the place.
Liang Zhi raised his head and said to everyone: "As the military commander said just now, except for the guard regiment and the air defense brigade, almost the entire army will be dispatched this time. Some people may ask, is it worth dispatching to deal with a mere division of the Japanese army?
Is it worth such a big battle?
But what I want to say is, it’s worth it! Because our purpose this time is not only to regain Yangchun, but the most important thing is that we also need to capture this place intact!”
After saying that, Liang Zhi's hand moved to somewhere on the map on the table.
Everyone looked along Liang Zhi's finger and saw that the place Liang Zhi pointed to was the port of Yangchun.
Seeing this, Su Rui nodded and said: "Now everyone knows why I sent out the entire army, right? According to the news from over there, the supplies of the Fifth Division have always been maintained by sea transportation. As Japan
The veteran divisions, their supplies are all transferred directly from the country. Whether it is the transfer of oil, ammunition, medicine, etc., they cannot do without this port.
Moreover, our reconnaissance plane also took a set of photos the day before yesterday, and a large amount of military supplies were shipped to the Yangchun port. And judging from the scale, this batch of supplies has far exceeded the consumption of a normal division. According to Staff
According to the Ministry's estimate, this batch of supplies is already a normal supply for two to three divisions. Therefore, we judge that these things must be related to the Japanese's preparations to reinforce the Japanese 11th Army.
The most important thing is that there are about 100,000 gallons of gasoline, diesel and 20,000 gallons of aviation kerosene piled in this batch of supplies. Do you know what this means? This means that as long as we get this batch of oil, our armored regiments and
The First Air Division will not have to worry about fuel for one to two years!
Since the Japanese have piled up so many things in Yangchun, and there is oil in them that we urgently need, then what reason do we have not to seize them?"
Listening to Su Rui's words, everyone nodded frequently. Over the past few days, the Three Hundred Army has increased significantly in terms of number, size and combat effectiveness, but the accompanying problem of fuel shortage has slowly surfaced.
At present, there are two main sources of oil assistance for the 300 Army. On the one hand, Suri is constantly scouring the market with oceans and medicines, and on the other hand, it relies on smuggling from the central army.
Yes, it's smuggling. Although the Three Hundred Army is short of fuel, the Central Army is not. Originally, most of the Central Army's marches relied on two legs. Even if there were trucks, they were not used very frequently. In
According to the generals of the Central Army, instead of using cars to transport soldiers, it is better to let the soldiers walk on their own. The fuel saved can be sold to make some pocket money to subsidize the family. Why not! Therefore, for the three hundred troops to
They are still happy to buy the remaining oil.
But after all, China is an oil-poor country. It does not produce oil itself, and all oil is imported from abroad. Even if Su Rui tried his best to search, he could not get much. Now he saw that the Japanese actually went to Yangchun for the Nanchang battle.
After hoarding so much supplies and oil, how can we not be tempted? Anyway, there is no conflict between capturing Yangchun and seizing those supplies. There is no mistake in grabbing grass and hunting rabbits. That's why we came up with the above plan...
Suri was sharpening his sword. The Japanese army was not idle either. It's funny to say that the Japanese army's attitude towards the Three Hundred Army and its attitude towards the national army have two completely different situations.
Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, the Japanese army has not regarded the Chinese Navy as an opponent, and since the July 7th Incident, the Japanese Army has carried forward this arrogance. When the staff formulates combat plans, they usually use a ratio of 1:5
The battle plan formulated. For example, they often used a regiment or even a brigade to deal with a Chinese division. Even during the Battle of Wuhan, the Chinese side mobilized more than 70 divisions with 1.1 million troops.
It only mobilized more than 300,000 people for a decisive battle with the Chinese army. Even this can be regarded as a heavy army.
But when the Japanese army dealt with Su Rui, this ratio had to be broken by themselves. Su Rui continued to create miracles since the Nanjing breakout, including the Battle of Linyi, the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Xiaogan, the Defense of Wuhan, etc.
Wait for dozens of battles, big and small.
The Three Hundred Army led by Suri was always performing scenes that made the Japanese army furious, from the annihilation of two regiments of the 10th Division, to the suicide of Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke, the commander of the 16th Division, to the 48th Division.
The killing of the regiment leader Yuuichi Dohashi all shows one thing, that is, this army has the strength to completely annihilate the Japanese army with equal strength.
This discovery made the Japanese military leaders feel depressed, but also secretly happy. Fortunately, China only had one 300-member army, otherwise the Imperial Japanese Army would have been coming back and forth from wherever it came!
Yangchun is about 110 kilometers away from Maoming. In order to defend against the 300 Army, the Japanese army stationed an entire division here, and this division was the fifth division that fought against the 300 Army. Division Commander
Lieutenant General Imamura Jun just took office at the beginning of this year. His mission is to keep a close eye on the 300 Army and never let the 300 Army take a step forward.
Yangchun Japanese Fifth Division Regiment Headquarters
"Dududu..."
"Come in!"
The door opened, and a major staff officer walked into Imamura Jun's office and bowed to him, "Your Excellency, division commander, please report from the front. The Chinese army opposite us has shown signs of mobilization, and its target is Yangchun!"
"What?"
Imamura stood up, with a look of vigilance on his face, and continued to ask: "China's three hundred troops are moving towards us? How big are they? What is their marching speed?"
The major smiled bitterly before saying, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this attack by the Chinese is very large-scale. According to the report of our agents lurking in Maoming, all three of their divisions have been dispatched."
"Nani? All three divisions were dispatched?" Imamura was shocked.
Imamura Jun, who has already listed Su Rui as his toughest opponent, ordered his intelligence department to collect information on them at the beginning of taking office. Naturally, he already knew the approximate organization of the Three Hundred Army.
The main force of the 300 Army with a strength of more than 60,000 people is the three infantry divisions. Now they are dispatched in full force. Imamura is very clear about what this means.
Although his Fifth Division was one of the seven earliest divisions in Japan, he had no confidence in facing the powerful 300 Army.
After calming down, Imamura Jun said to his staff: "Quickly, immediately send a report to Commander Ando Rikichi, saying that the China Three Hundred Army has devoted all its strength to attack Yangchun. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to hold on to Yangchun."
!Also, order the aviation brigade to dispatch reconnaissance planes immediately, and be sure to report every move of the Chinese army to me!"
It stands to reason that Imamura, who is sitting on a division, does not need to be so arrogant when facing the attacks of several ordinary Chinese infantry divisions. Maybe he is still sure to defeat them, but now he is facing that fierce and famous infantry division.
The Three Hundred Army is naturally different. This is a real god of murder. Many Japanese generals have fallen into his hands. Imamura Jun naturally does not want to follow in their footsteps.
Seeing the solemn look on Imamura's face, the staff officer also bowed his head before going down.
Looking at the back of the staff member as he left, Imamura's mood became increasingly heavy, and he uttered an ancient Chinese poem.
"Alas...the rain is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building!"
On the ridge of a hill, a group of Japanese soldiers were walking. These people were wearing khaki military uniforms. Most of them were carrying 38-type caps on their backs, and a few were carrying 11-year-old machine guns and grenade launchers.
Although it was already March, the weather was still chilly, but the Japanese troops were already covered in sweat. It was obvious that they had been walking for a long time.
After walking for a while, an officer walking at the front made a gesture, and the Japanese army finally stopped. When the Japanese officer turned around, a young and familiar face appeared in front of everyone.
, he was Shota Ishida, then a lieutenant of the Japanese National Salvation Army.
Ishida Shota walked to the center of the Japanese army, glanced at everyone first, and then said loudly: "Gentlemen, everyone knows the purpose of our trip. According to the investigation, Yangchun's port defense is very weak, with less than
With the strength of two squadrons, as long as we can deal with these two squadrons, the port will naturally fall into our hands. As long as we can persist until the arrival of reinforcements, our mission will be declared victorious. By then, banknotes, oceans and even
There will be gold bars. After the war, we can even return to our hometown to buy dozens of acres of land and live a prosperous life! Even if you die in the war, General Su will send a large sum of money to your family, which is enough
Your family will live a good life for the rest of their lives!”
While cheering for everyone, Shota Ishida waved his arms to strengthen his tone. Shota Ishida has been organizing the Japanese National Salvation Army for half a year. Except for showing his hand when attacking Xianning County, he spent almost all other time
At leisure.
This kind of good thing for others is too bad for Ishida. Having nothing to do means that he can no longer gain the trust of the general, cannot be promoted, and cannot receive rewards. This is very difficult for the ambitious Ishida.
Talking is the biggest torture, so after receiving the mission this time, Ishida happily took his Japanese National Salvation Army on the road! (To be continued)
