Bright Sword: Heiyunzhai was closed at the beginning

Chapter 294 The Crazy Little Devil

"I lost more than 1 good brothers all of a sudden. I feel a little bit uneasy, and there are so many fewer people." Gao Jianwu, who was marching in a jeep, looked at the endless marching team outside, still feeling a little lost.

Even though the crowd was rolling and it was impossible to tell, Gao Jianwu still felt as if a piece of flesh had been lost when Chu Yunfei left as an attacking group.

"Old Gao, I just wanted to discuss something with you. You see, Guangxi Province has always been a place of strong soldiers. The wolf soldiers in Guangxi Province are famous for their bravery and combat skills. Now that we have returned to China, it is imperative to expand the team. .

Now we have no shortage of weapons and equipment, and there is still a whole division of light weapons in the logistics force. We will expand them by 3 people along the way, so there is no big problem with weapons and ammunition.

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

"Yeah, I'm also thinking about this question. After all, we're back now. It's not easy for us to bring them back from abroad. After all, Chinese and overseas Chinese are also good. They have been working abroad for so many years, and many of their sense of identity is actually different from ours. up.

But here we are all our own people, no matter which province we are in, at least we all agree that we belong to one nation. "Gao Jianwu is also thinking about this issue.

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

To fight all the way and expand, there are indeed many problems.Weapons and ammunition are not a problem, and there will always be new seizures in every battle.

But the food supply is really troublesome. After all, no matter how many places are seized, it is impossible to transport them with the team.

The more people there are, the more complicated the logistical supply will be. After nearly a year of fighting in Nanyang, Gao Jianwu collected wool from the Allied forces, and what he obtained was only more than 400 trucks and more than 20 jeeps.

In addition to towing cannons, these cars are carrying various types of shells and bullets from the Allied forces. After all, 1000 rounds of 155mm shells are dozens of tons, plus 2000 rounds of 105mm shells and 5000 rounds of 75mm shells. In this case, nearly 200 tons of transportation capacity were removed, and other weapons and ammunition were added, leaving very little transportation capacity for food transportation. At most, the entire army only transported about 40 tons for backup.

Therefore, for long-distance marches, the main food is that each soldier carries 7 days of dry food on his back.

Especially this time when he came back, there was no chance to recruit the Allied forces. Taking advantage of the opportunity of annihilating the Saigon General Headquarters of the Southern Army, Gao Jianwu severely requested a wave of supplies, and even used most of the transportation capacity on the transportation of weapons and ammunition.

After all, this is an American-style weapon and ammunition. If you use one, you will lose one. Before returning to the old base, Gao Jianwu and the others will not get any supplements.

"Old Gao, it may be that your requirements have increased now, so you feel that this is a big problem. In fact, on the Long March, our situation is more dangerous, and it is more difficult to replenish, but we still persist along the way, expanding Move 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 go into battle immediately, we just need them to keep up with the training along the way."

Gao Jianwu's eyes lighted up. He had really thought badly. From the very beginning, he wanted to equip and train them as elite troops. In fact, under the current situation, there was no need or condition for this.

But if you look at it as a supplementary regiment and a guerrilla, the current conditions are much better.In this regard, Ding Wei is still an expert.

I am still a little out of touch with this era, especially after leading the expeditionary army for a long time, I feel that the army should be like this. In fact, a year ago, everyone didn't even have a rifle in common use. How can there be these guns now?
"Old Ding, you are right in reminding me. If this is the case, I will leave this matter to you. We can recruit troops while we are in Guangxi province. We will stay in a big city for three days." Since we wanted to Knowing the key point of this matter, Gao Jianwu immediately put it into practice. In his opinion, there are three days, and it should not be a big problem to recruit 3000 to [-] people in each city.

After all, at this time, everyone is very poor, and being able to afford food is already a luxury for many people.For those with a larger family, it may not be a bad thing to be a soldier.

According to the current reputation of the expeditionary army, after recovering the cities 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, just leave this matter to me." Ding Wei, a tool person who is good at covering the bottom line, readily agreed.

It's great to work with people like Gao Jianwu, because once everyone decides that it can be done, they will implement it immediately, and they will not hesitate and discuss the pros and cons for a long time.

On the one hand, this is certainly due to Gao Jianwu’s strong decision-making ability, on the other hand, it is also due to his broad vision. For many things, as long as he mentions a few points, he can immediately think of many beneficial supplements, thus making this matter a reality. very perfect.

An impression of Gao Jianwu and Ding Wei is that he is still a young man, but as if he has experienced many things, as long as this matter is mentioned, there are many things that are still unpredictable, and Gao Jianwu can make a good deduction.

What's more frightening is that Gao Jianwu's deduction will become a fact, 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 agenda. From publicity, organization and registration to training and logistics support, Ding Wei quickly sorted out a complete set of plans, and put related team was built.

Sure enough, Ding Weiwei could recruit a lot of people every time he captured a city occupied by little devils. Since Gao Jianwu personally commanded the engineering operations, every time he occupied the warehouse, he would rush in immediately, so the food, fuel, etc. The confiscation of luggage and other aspects is quite abundant, enough to supplement consumption.

There was no shortage of food for the troops at all. In addition to the new battles, they began to use Japanese equipment on a large scale. Facing battles at the wing level or even at the brigade level, the main attacking team used the 75mm field guns and mountain guns of the little devils. .

After pushing down seven or eight cities from Nanhai Island, Gao Jianwu exploded and seized all the way, and soon accumulated 41 Type 40 mountain artillery pieces, and more than 80 2 infantry artillery pieces. Two mountain artillery battalions were formed on top of the original artillery battalion. And 4 infantry artillery battalions as the main fire support artillery.

Although it is said that compared with the American products that I am accustomed to using, the little devil's things are a bit outdated, but these things are still very reliable for fighting against the little devil.

After all, the current number has far exceeded the limit that the little devils can bear. Facing the little devils at the regiment level, Gao Jianwu came up to command the firepower of two mountain artillery battalions, plus each main battalion, with a 92 infantry artillery battalion As artillery support, how can the little devil withstand such fierce artillery fire?

Now almost every battle is an absolute crushing situation, and there is no need for large-scale tactical penetration, so even if the weight of the 92 infantry guns of the little devil is much heavier than that of mortars, but for Gao Jianwu, who is pushing all the way step by step Said, these are not problems, when the strength is enough to crush, the upright is the invincible teacher.

Yangcheng Little Devils No.20 Army Headquarters.

Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai, the commander of the little devil, faced a group of generals of the 23rd Army with a serious expression.

"My lords, the Expeditionary Force of the Second War Zone of China is coming fiercely. It has captured the South China Sea Island and Leizhou Peninsula controlled by our locust army. It has advanced all the way east and now it has advanced to the Wuyi area. Our 23rd Army is the elite of China. The army has been fighting for many months, according to statistics, the locust army of the southern army has broken more than [-] pieces of jade, which can be said to be a serious problem for the locust army."

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

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

The second line of defense is to use the 51st Division and the independent mixed ninth brigade along Fofan City as the default battlefield.

The third line of defense is to use the 38th Division and the independent mixed 8th Brigade as the default battlefield in the urban area of ​​Yangcheng.

The independent mixed No.20 Second Brigade and the Independent Mixed No.20 Third Brigade, as surprise soldiers, sneaked into the mountains on the west bank of Tanjiang River from the north and the south to ambush. The troops were wiped out in the Shuangshui area, which frustrated their spirit. "

"It is believed that the enemy is well-equipped, especially with a lot of artillery. It is necessary to leave anti-artillery measures in the position. It is not suitable to gather heavy troops. The main force should stay in the city to fight in the streets. The most important thing is to kill and injure the enemy in large numbers!"

Listening to Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai's deployment, they basically focused on street fighting. The division heads and brigade heads present all looked pale and solemn. So, these little devils have heard about it.

It was really hard to hit.

It is said that basically no one survived the street fighting.

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

Whether it is artillery or air, the 23rd Army does not have the strength to confront its opponents.Only through the bloody phenomenon, can there be a glimmer of life.

"Everyone don't have to worry about what happened to Annan can be repeated here, because after all, their own people account for more. From now on, we will close the city gates and not allow anyone to enter or leave. All cities have imposed curfews, and no one can enter or leave!"

Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai said with a stern face.

"My lords, the time has come to dedicate your life to the empire and to be loyal to His Majesty. Our 23rd Army will surely lead the expeditionary army along the way!"

Gao Jianwu finally met the little devil.

“叮，独立混成No.20二旅团和独立混成No.20三旅团将于8小时后抵达双水，兵力人数1万6千余人.”行军路上，距离双水还有6个小时的高建武收到了新的情报信息。

After reading the information, Gao Jianwu had a strange look on his face, because the timing was too coincidental.

Obviously this time the little devil has some ideas.

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

After all, at that time, the first attack group, whose foothold was not stable, faced a sudden attack by the little devils who had the upper hand.

It is no problem to start defense on the spot, but since the artillery advantage cannot be brought into play, it is difficult to control the casualties in the battle.

In large-scale infantry field battles, the first attack group whose light and heavy machine guns have been replaced by Japanese weapons basically only has the advantage of rifles.After all, after close combat, the mortar 92 infantry guns have no effect.

The little devil's wishful thinking was really loud. Gao Jianwu closed his eyes and thought for a while, 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 surprise the little devil.

Ding Wei of the first attack group received the order. Although he didn't understand it, he still carried out the order without hesitation and slowed down the troops.

Because he knew Gao Jianwu well, he would never aim at nothing.

Gao Yi quickly responded to the message prompted by the system, but as another telegram message came, Gao Jianwu fell into deep thought. He thought for 3 minutes before conveying this message to the attack group. commander.

All of a sudden, veterans like Ding Wei became excited.

Every one of their eyes was about to burst into flames, and the little devil was too unreasonable to coerce the entire city's people into hostages for street fighting.

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

"Order the 5th Attack Group, the 1st Battalion and the 3nd Battalion of the Tank Group to speed up and make sure to arrive at Shuangshui at the same time as the 4st, 1rd and 6th Attack Groups. The 10th attack group and the remaining battalions of the tank group will protect the logistics and artillery group, and the newly formed seventh attack group will be postponed and slowly advanced." Facing the little devil's frenzied lock-up street fighting tactics, after a full 2 minutes, Gao Jianwu The [-]nd order was issued.

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

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

Apparently, for the two brigades of the little devil, Gao Jianwu had already issued a kill order for them in his heart, and prepared to kill all of them.

After all, keeping such an inhuman little devil is a disaster.

But Gao Jianwu also knows that even if these two brigades are completely annihilated, it will not make a big difference to the urban street fighting in the future. There is basically no other way to clear the house one by one.

This kind of urban street fighting is not only a huge damage to the expeditionary army group.The casualties were even more severe for the local people.

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

After all, this place is not like Annan, where the city is not surrounded by city walls, and most people can run away.

Now the little devil has implemented a policy of curfew and blockade.It is very difficult for a person to escape now.So Annan's tactics are completely unfeasible here.

In the beginning of the battle, Gao Jianwu put this matter to the back of his mind for the time being. After all, now that the little devils have dispatched two brigades to prepare for a sneak attack, he still has to make a good plan to keep them all.

Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu closed his eyes, and slowly turned all his thoughts to the topographic map over Shuangshui.

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 changed his mind and gradually drew the possible trajectory of the little devil in his mind.

Thinking from the opponent's standpoint, Gao Jianwu also gradually figured out the little devil's plan.It has to be said that the commander of the little devil still has some tactical capabilities. According to this tactical arrangement, if there is no system prompt.

They really have a certain possibility of success, after all, there are many mountains and dense forests in that area, and if the little devils travel day and night, it is very possible to avoid the eyes and ears of the expeditionary army group.

This tactic was originally Gao Jianwu's housekeeping skill, but it was unexpected that the little devil would also want to use his own ax this time.

Gao Jianwu figured out what his opponent was thinking, and gradually outlined on the map the mountain range where the little devil was lurking.By carefully calculating the distance and time, Gao Jianwu re-formulated a battle plan, and then sent this plan to each unit through the radio.

Various attack groups that received Gao Jianwu's new order.Without a doubt, follow the new order and rush to his battle position.

Eight Road Headquarters.

Frontier Headquarters.

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

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

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

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

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

At the same time, someone worked hard and wrote an impassioned essay, explaining the ins and outs and consequences of this incident with sharp words, and finally pointed out: If the 23rd Army decides to commit such atrocities, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army The Ministry does not guarantee the safety of any small day's citizens, whether it is a soldier or a civilian, and it is not limited to the mainland of China, including any small day on this island.
When Gao Jianwu commanded the expeditionary army group to prepare to eat up the two brigades of the Little Devil's 23rd Army, several major centers in the land of Shenzhou boiled at the same time when they received the news.

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 summoned urgently with a gloomy expression.

"This idiot will drag us all down, and the empire will suffer greatly from this incident."

"Your Excellency, this matter must not be seized by the Allied forces, let alone provide evidence to the Chinese side. Now the war is not good for our empire. The imperial capital has repeatedly bombed for the Allied forces. Once this matter is caught, the Allied forces will The bombing is even more unlimited, and the empire will not be able to bear such a loss!" A senior staff member suggested.

Although they all know that the war itself is inhumane, there are still some bottom lines after all. If these basic bottom lines are broken now, their casualties will no longer be just soldiers, and the casualties of the entire empire will increase geometrically. , and may even destroy the country and species!
The recent huge defeats in the two major battlefields of Nanyang and Pacific Ocean have given the base camp the idea of ​​​​retreating.

In the latest discussion in the base camp, some staff members have proposed a plan to withdraw from the customs and strive to reach a peace agreement with Taiwan Island and outside the customs.After all, Gao Jianwu's expeditionary army group is too evil, and there is almost no way to stop them, unless a front army is concentrated.

Form a heavy army group of 30 to [-], and gather the main forces such as air force and heavy artillery to besiege it to win.At present, this plan is almost impossible to realize, because it means giving up a large amount of acquired land and a high-risk battle.

Rather than this, it is better to withdraw decently.At least in this way, the strength can be preserved. Now the opponent facing the empire is not only the expeditionary army group, even the most terrifying opponent is not the expeditionary army group.

Now that Takashi Sakai made such a move, wouldn't all escape routes be blocked? !

That's why Tojo Chick is so angry.

It's just that he also knows that now is not just the time to be angry, but also needs to come up with a solution.

He couldn't let this matter go on.

"What? The base camp asked us to change our tactics, and not to anger China and the Allied forces by taking hostages?" Lieutenant General Takashi Sakai was about to explode after receiving the latest instructions from the base camp. How could he continue to fight like this?
"Yes, Commander, the base camp requests that if the 23rd Army cannot defeat the enemy with regular tactics, it can now retreat to the Hong Kong-Kowloon area." The intelligence officer replied with his head down.

In fact, a large part of the information he received pointed to Takashi Sakai, but he couldn't read it completely in the report. Instead, he used the most concise words to express the meaning expressed by the base camp clearly.

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

I saw him walking around in the conference room, his face was flushed, and he looked like he had been tortured. As a senior general in charge of one aspect, Sakai Takashi naturally had his own pride. The headquarters reprimanded him so mercilessly. It was an intolerable shame for him. . .

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

They have done too many excessive things, so what now?It's not that there is no way to take them.Takashi Sakai firmly believes that what cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained outside the battlefield.

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

After thinking about it, Ryu Sakai decided to try it in Wuyi first, because he will not accept the fate of the king outside, and now the arrow is on the string, so he has to do it.As one of the traditional arts of little devils, Takashi Sakai has also won three flavors.
