Chapter 260: Fire everywhere 3 (please ask for red flowers!)
After the first class had left for about half an hour, Qian Zhanchen pretended to have rested and headed towards Lugang Town with a few "puppet soldiers" who were in a good mood.
The avant-garde company itself was wearing brand-new Japanese military uniforms, each man had a submachine gun, and four Japanese-made small steel cannons, making him an elite Japanese army.
"Report to Taijun, there are friendly troops coming to Lugang." The leader who led the way arrived at Lugang Town and reported to the Japanese sentry at the entrance of the town.
"Major, what section are you in?" Although the kid saw that the leader was a major, he still wouldn't let him go easily.
"Baga! Bang -" Qian Zhanchen slapped him in the face, "Our origins are something you, a third-class private, can know. Even your brigade commander, Major General Kataoka Satoshi, has no right to ask."
"However, your duty of loyalty to the imperial army is very good. I will say hello to Major General Kataoka Satoshi." Qian Zhanchen took out a certificate and waved it in front of the third-class soldier. The third-class soldier only looked at it.
When he came to the words "Headquarters of the Eastern China Front of the Imperial Japanese Army", he didn't dare to read any more. How could he, a small soldier, interfere with someone coming from the headquarters?
"You lead the way, I will use your radio to send a report to General Iinuma Mori." Qian Zhanchen ordered.
"Your Majesty, Major, there is no radio station in Lugang." The soldier said somewhat flatteringly. Iinuma Mamoru, that is the chief of staff of the headquarters, a real big shot. Of course, the man in front of him is also a big shot.
"There's no radio station, but there's always a phone, right?" Qian Zhanchen was delighted, but asked quietly.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Major, please." The little devil bowed.
"Yours, just wait here." Qian Zhanchen only led two people into the town, leaving the large army at the entrance of the town. Of course, there were three of them very close to the three Japanese soldiers on the guard post.
"Come on, brother, smoke our trophies. Last night, we attacked a headquarters of the China Army and seized it from the luggage of a division commander." A soldier of the National Defense Force said, taking out "Huaxia Brand" cigarettes and giving them to the three soldiers.
One devil each.
"Thank you." One of the Japanese soldiers reached out and answered, while the other two Japanese soldiers stood motionless in the guard box. Damn it, the military discipline of this Japanese army is really extraordinary.
"Hey, brother, where are you from?" The other two soldiers of the National Defense Force were not idle and took the initiative to talk to the Japanese in the post.
"Kurume." The Japanese soldier said without moving.
"Haha, Kurume, I understand. The 18th Division was organized in Kurume, and they are all from Fukuoka?" The National Defense Force soldier was speechless, thinking silently about the time when the company commander arrived in the center of the town.
The Japanese soldier on duty simply replied "yes", apparently unwilling to speak.
The soldiers of the National Defense Force did not take it seriously because the identity they pretended was too strong. Just like in later generations, if you go to a certain grassroots company and say that you are from the military region, others will consciously or unconsciously distance themselves from you. This is
This kind of distance is not to separate each other intentionally, but to be cautious and worry about making mistakes and offending others.
"Company Commander, they should be about done, right?" Suddenly, the soldiers of the National Defense Force started communicating in Chinese.
The Japanese soldiers were startled, how could these people speak Shina? However, before the three Japanese soldiers could react, "Puff, puff, puff!" With three low gunshots, the three Japanese soldiers saw their Amaterasu.
Went.
Seeing that the chatting comrades had succeeded, the reconnaissance company dozens of meters away immediately ran into Lugang. The last few soldiers took over the Japanese sentry and stood up in a dignified manner.
Qian Zhanchen and his two assistants were led by Japanese soldiers and walked towards the office of the Japanese squad leader. Along the way, they saw some Japanese soldiers walking through the town in twos and threes. The accompanying Japanese soldiers greeted them but did not introduce Qian Zhanchen.
them.
"The little devil doesn't seem to have realized that the war is coming." Qian Zhanchen wrote down what he saw.
Naturally, Qian Zhanchen's view is untenable. It's not that the little devils didn't realize that the war was coming yesterday, but that the garrison in Lugang only had a warning, one in the south and one in the north.
If there is an attack on the sentry post, the whole town will know as long as the gunshot is fired, so there is no need to be so nervous internally.
Everyone knows that the National Defense Forces are gathering in large numbers, so what's the use of having dozens of Japanese troops on alert!
"Mr. Chengkou, we are looking for someone from the Front Army Headquarters." When the National Defense Forces at the town's entrance took action, Qian Zhanchen and three others arrived at the Japanese squad leader's station at about the same time.
"Who is it?" called the little devil at the entrance of the city and pushed open the door.
What are you waiting for! Seeing the rank of the little Jaap, Qian Zhanchen and the other three people immediately took out their pistols with silencers and fired four shots "Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff", killing the little Japs at the entrance of the city and the one leading the way.
The Japs and the other two little Japs in the yard were dealt with.
The reconnaissance company that entered the town used squads and platoons as units to search all aspects of the town. Whenever they saw Japanese troops, they would shoot immediately!
The sound of gunshots was an order. A squad ambushing near the south gate took advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese guarding the gate to look around and shot him to death with a few shots, thus taking control of the south gate.
A small group of Japs were completely wiped out by the reconnaissance company with almost no decent counterattack.
The puppet troops in the town were like headless flies at this time. They were not willing to surrender or fight. They were discussing countermeasures behind closed doors.
"Mortars, open the door for me!" The officers of the National Defense Force, like Wu Aihua, hated traitors very much. Qian Zhanchen did not even make any propaganda, but directly launched artillery attacks.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." After several consecutive shots, the weak gate of the puppet army compound collapsed!
"Take prisoners, and anyone who resists will be shot to death!" Qian Zhanchen immediately ordered when he saw the door open.
In the policy of the National Defense Force, the policy is different whether the enemy takes the initiative, surrenders or is captured.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the battlefield was cleaned up, and Qian Zhanchen's company took full control of Lugang. At 11:30, Jiang Wencui led a large force to station in Lugang.
"The fourth battalion is on alert, and the other three battalions will eat immediately and then rest!" Arriving at Lugang an hour earlier than planned made Jiang Wencui's arrangement more calm.
…
While Jiang Wencui's regiment was still hard at work, several "wartime reconnaissance groups" of the Sixth Army had already started fighting with the Japanese reconnaissance teams.
The commander of the 065th Division is named Jing Guoyong, who was the deputy commander of the original guard regiment. If we want to trace the roots back even further, Jing Guoyong was a regiment commander of the original Guangdong Army. During the Battle of Eastern Guangdong, Jing Guoyong
He became a prisoner of the National Defense Forces. Because of his American education background, Wu Aihua tried every means to retain him. At that time, there were not many positions in the National Defense Forces, so he was forced to serve as a deputy commander of the guard division.
When the National Defense Force expanded from three armies to six armies, the man who was already the commander of the guard division naturally became the commander of the 065th Division.
The officers of the National Defense Force were promoted too quickly. Wu Aihua knew that it had many disadvantages, but he had to continue to promote these people. Because the National Defense Force had no foundation before (King: Because it is taboo to write gcd, otherwise, it would be great to write about those famous historical generals
), few people from other units came to the job out of thin air, so this officer had to be promoted from within.
Fortunately, the National Defense Forces have a complete and scientific system in terms of army building ideas, troop management and training, and their equipment is also at the forefront of this era, so nothing has happened to the National Defense Forces so far.
When the Sixth Army came to the front line, Jing Guoyong definitely wanted to fight well to prove to Commander-in-Chief Wu that he, the "last" division commander, was no worse than others.
However, after arriving at the front line, Ye Si's combat orders did not come down quickly, leaving Jing Guoyong to only train his soldiers at the regimental and battalion level.
At this time, Ye Si held a meeting of the commanders of the reconnaissance battalions of each division. Jing Guoyong keenly felt that this must be an opportunity. The result was also the same. Each division, under the leadership of its own reconnaissance battalion, formed a "wartime
"Reconnaissance Group" immediately conducted reconnaissance and harassment of the enemy forces in front of them, not only to understand the Japanese army's deployment, but also to weaken the Japanese army.
Therefore, when Yuan Xinglong, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion directly under the 065th Division, returned to the division headquarters after the meeting, he was pulled into the room by Jing Guoyong, and the two began to plot.
When Jing Guoyong met, he said, "Xinglong, what do you think of the teacher's treatment of you?"
Yuan Xinglong was startled. What did the teacher want to say? I won't have made any mistakes. However, he immediately reacted and said, "The teacher cares about me very much. That's good!"
Jing Guoyong asked again, "Do you have any ideas about taking the wartime reconnaissance team out to fight this time?"
"Commander, my idea is to fight the enemy bravely and at the same time find out the Japanese army's deployment." Yuan Xinglong said, patting his chest.
Jing Guoyong looked at Yuan Xinglong and thought it would be better to say it directly, "Xinglong, you are good at fighting the enemy bravely. However, you should know Commander-in-Chief Wu's military strategy. Commander-in-Chief Wu has always advocated smart warfare.
Skillful fighting and bravery are only the duties of a soldier, but one who knows how to fight, who can fight, who can turn an encounter into a surprise battle, who can turn a rout into a battle of annihilation, and who can exchange the smallest sacrifice for the greatest victory, is a soldier.
Qualified commander."
"Sir, I understand." Yuan Xinglong said immediately.
"When encountering the enemy, use your brain more, think of more ways, and use your troops with surprise and justice. This is the way to be a general." Jing Guoyong added.
"Commander, don't worry. This time our 065 Division wartime reconnaissance team will set an example for the entire army!" Yuan Xinglong finally understood what the division commander wanted to say.
"Haha, good boy, I've been waiting for your words." Jing Guoyong ended the conversation with a smile.
In the National Defense Force, Jing Guoyong's "culture" is quite high, and coupled with his American education background, it is always easier than others to grasp the key points when understanding Wu Aihua's series of strategies and tactics.
From the daily conversations of Commander-in-Chief Wu, Jing Guoyong has long understood that defeating little Japan does not mean the end of the war. There are still many battles to fight in the future! If we want to fight a war, if we want to fight a big battle, the National Defense Forces must fight
To expand the army, their current division commanders may become group army chiefs in the future, and the current group army chiefs may become front army chiefs. However, Commander-in-Chief Wu has long had a set of evaluation methods for who gets promoted and who fails. That is
A set of "hard" things with combat merit and ability as the main indicators, while those so-called direct lineages, relationships, etc. in the old army are not very useful in the National Defense Forces.
