Standing on the solitary peak, letting the wind blow around the damaged clothes, patting the dusty armor, raising the blood-stained face, smiling, and staring into the distance.————"Kong Chen Quotations"
In a large house in Pinggu City, Guangxi, Wang Shoucheng of the First Infantry Regiment of the Second Division of the Hainan Army listened to the report of the reconnaissance company commander, his face became darker and darker, and after a long while he said: "Are you sure you read it correctly?
"
The second lieutenant commander of the reconnaissance company replied affirmatively: "You are absolutely right! My subordinates expanded the reconnaissance scope by fifty miles. It was indeed seen on the Chenghua front line that there were many cannons and pack mules and horses.
There must be tens of thousands of people!”
After a simple confrontation between the Hainan Army's Second Division and a Japanese brigade at Qingniu Mountain, the Japanese army was completely wiped out with less than a hundred casualties.
After that, the Hainan Army's Second Division took the First Regiment as the vanguard and continued to approach Nanning City along the road, which was heavily guarded by the Japanese army. It also eliminated some scattered Japanese and puppet troops along the way.
As the vanguard, their main task is not to engage in fierce battles with the Japanese army, but to investigate the situation of the Japanese army and remove some obstacles for the army when necessary. For example, Japanese puppet troops or bandits, as well as landlords and traitors who are stubbornly resisting, such as this one now
This house belonged to a local traitor.
Speaking of which, they were lucky. They did not encounter a large-scale Japanese army, and they penetrated deep into Jiangxi without any hindrance. They discovered tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and even a large number of baggage and artillery units from the other side.
Wang Shoucheng asked with confusion on his face: "A Japanese army of tens of thousands, and also equipped with heavy weapons? Does the Japanese army in Guangxi have more than one division? Or is it the Japanese 116th Division that came out of Nanning?"
At this time, the regimental staff officer who had been silent until now spoke: "It can't be the 116th Division of the Japanese Army. Nanning City is being watched by those devils from the Military Intelligence Section! The movement of tens of thousands of Japanese troops will definitely not be enough.
of!"
Wang Shoucheng also nodded in agreement. It was undeniable that the efficiency of the Hainan Military Intelligence Section was very high. It was impossible for such a big mistake to be made without any knowledge.
"Do you think it could be reinforcements from the Japs? The First Division wiped out a Japanese division in Guangzhou. The Japs will definitely not give up! I'm afraid our Second Division will also have to fight a tough battle this time.
"Wang Shoucheng said excitedly, the 1st Division was in the limelight in the Battle of Guangzhou, how could their 2nd Division be content with being behind others? They had already been holding back their energy to catch up with the 1st Division.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the headquarters felt that their blood was rising. As a soldier, who wouldn't want to fight bloody battles on the battlefield, kill the enemy and serve the country? The battlefield is the final destination of soldiers.
"Report this news to the division headquarters first, so that the division headquarters can have time to prepare, but we can't let the little devil take advantage!" the regiment staff officer said thoughtfully. Unlike the regiment commander who is only responsible for commanding the war, as an army
Staff officer, so he thinks more.
What his men were thinking about was what impact the appearance of this Japanese army in Jiangxi would have on the current war situation in Jiangxi, and how our own troops would then start a fierce battle with Japanese troops that were several times their own.
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Shoucheng gradually understood the current situation. He put away his previous excitement and his face became serious: "Notify the division headquarters immediately! Also, the entire reconnaissance company is dispatched. Keep an eye on that weapon."
Japanese troops, find out its serial number as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" The commander of the reconnaissance company took the order and left.
At the same time, Li Weidong, who was far away in Hainan, was worried about another thing. Despite all the precautions in the Hainan military system, a "nail" finally sneaked in, and Li Weidong also knew it.
Li Weidong also worked really hard to pull out this "nail". Zero has been busy with this matter for a while. Now is the best time to break into the Japanese military intelligence organization, and this
The "certificate of submission" made Li Weidong undecided.
Now, the Hainan Army's recruitment work has come to an end, and most of the main forces have been mobilized. The Hainan Army's new Fourth Division has been transferred to North Vietnam. They will take over the Hainan Army's Third Division and work with the North Vietnamese Defense Forces to guard the North Vietnam area and guard against France in South Vietnam.
people.
The 1st Division of the Hainan Army suffered heavy losses due to the Battle of Guangzhou, and is still being repaired in Guangzhou City, working with the Hainan Army Tank Regiment to prevent the Japanese troops from Fujian from moving south to threaten Guangdong.
The newly formed Fifth Division has already boarded the ship at Haikou Military Port. After that, they will land in Guangzhou and enter South China to fight the Japanese army to make up for the shortage of troops in Guangdong Province.
It can be seen from the titles of the new fourth and new fifth divisions that they are different from the main three divisions of the Hainan Army. The main divisions of the Hainan Army generally have three full regiments, and each regiment has three
The battalion adopts the three-three system, plus a large number of baggage troops, division medical, artillery, etc., the strength of a main division is maintained at about 15,000 people.
The new Fourth and Fifth Divisions were established relatively late and are light infantry divisions, so they have only eight to nine thousand troops. However, given the superior firepower configuration of the Hainan Army, their combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.
In addition, there are the Hainan Army's Temporary Sixth Division and the Temporary Seventh Division. These two divisions are still being trained in Hainan and were reorganized from the original Hainan National Guard. In addition to the former Guards Brigade,
And the air force, Li Weidong now has the total number of troops in his hands approaching the 100,000 mark.
With these 100,000 people, Li Weidong also had the confidence to fight a large-scale battle with the Japanese army, and Li Weidong would not be as timid as before because of his poor family background.
"Report! Guangxi, urgent military message!" the guard ran in and shouted a report.
Li Weidong directly took it and opened it. When he saw the content inside, he laughed loudly: "Haha! I can come up with whatever I want! It just solves my current troubles!"
"General! What news makes you so happy?" Ge Changming asked at this time. The telegram that Li Weidong received directly just now did not see the content of the telegram, so he asked.
Then, Li Weidong handed the message to Ge Changming, and at the same time asked the secretariat to call and notify No. 0 to come to the commander-in-chief's office immediately.
"General! Do you think you should send a telegram to Wang Shanhu, asking the Second Division to postpone the offensive in Nanning, Guangxi, and then send some troops to reinforce them! Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Second Division alone to defeat the two Japanese divisions.
!" Ge Changming said slightly worriedly. The Second Division of the Hainan Army is now in a bad situation. If you are not careful, you may fall into the siege of the Japanese army.
Li Weidong was silent for a while at this time, and then continued: "It is indeed a bit insufficient to use one division to attack Guangxi! Just in time, the first division has almost been repaired, and I plan to mobilize them to march into Guangxi along the Pearl River!"
In the Battle of Guangzhou, the 1st Division of the Hainan Army fought extremely hard, but it also demonstrated the strong combat effectiveness of the 1st Division. Not only did it achieve great success, but it also shocked the Japanese.
And Li Weidong believed that the Hainan Army had invested two main divisions this time, including the prestigious First Division, and it should not be a problem to capture the entire territory of Guangxi.
"General! What about the tank regiment commanded by Wu Shaoting? Also following the First Division into Guangxi?" At this time, Gao Yi asked.
Guangxi is full of mountains, rivers and woodlands, and the road environment is also very harsh. A tank regiment that is invincible on the plains may not be able to play in the mountains. The tank regiment entering Guangxi is purely overqualified.
"No! Let them stay in the square! Only the Fourth Division's defense in Guangdong is relatively weak, leaving the tank regiment in Guangzhou to take care of the Fourth Division." Li Weidong explained.
At this time, Military Intelligence Section Zero had appeared in front of Li Weidong, stood at attention and saluted: "General! Are you looking for me?"
He waved his hand, signaling Zero to relax and not be too strict: "Well! The lurking plan can continue. Tell Ma Yunfei about the news that the First Division of the Hainan Army is about to enter Guangxi and ask them to give it as a "letter of fame"!"
"General! Has the marching route of the First Division been exposed soon? What if the Japanese army sets up an ambush?" No. 0 couldn't help but be a little stunned. Isn't this a leak of military secrets?
"Just do it, don't be too obvious, be more subtle." Li Weidong said to Zero.
He believed in Jiang Tao's ability and the combat effectiveness of the First Division. And if Jiang Tao led the troops along the river bank and was ambushed, then Li Weidong would have nothing to say.
Besides, the Hainan Army and the Japanese Army also had many real battles. The Japanese Army lost many troops at the hands of the Hainan Army, so it naturally has a clearer understanding of the actual combat effectiveness of the Hainan Army.
Under the conditions of equal strength, the Hainan Army can suppress the Japanese army with its superior equipment. If the Japanese army wants to win, it must treat the Hainan Army as a real opponent, but it will always be the Japanese army that suffers.
As the ace unit of the main division, the 1st Division of the Hainan Army was armed to the teeth. Of course, it was not something that the Japanese army could easily withstand.
On the other side, Wang Shanhu, who was in Guangxi, did not hesitate much after receiving the order from the headquarters. He directly issued the order. The Hainan Army's advance speed slowly slowed down, and finally stopped at a small town not far from Nanning City.
Within the county.
After Wang Shanhu received the message from the headquarters, he learned that the one attacking on the eastern front was the First Division of the Hainan Army. After being silent for a long time, he sighed: "It seems that our battle with the Japanese army has to be postponed, and now Jiang Tao is here again."
Our division has more wolves and less meat!"
In fact, Wang Shanhu didn't want to order the march and have an open battle with the Japanese 116th Division on the battlefield. However, he also knew the significance of the order from the headquarters. The military must put the overall situation first.
When the Hainan Army's First Division was secretly preparing to advance westward, Ma Yunfei, under the signal of No. 0, properly leaked the news that the Hainan Army was about to send reinforcements to Guangxi to Fujita Kazumasu, allowing him to gain an initial advantage with the Japanese.
of trust.
At the same time, the Japanese army, having learned about the Hainan Army's next reinforcements, also began to make new tactical changes. Somewhere halfway along the Pearl River is likely to be the battlefield for the next battle.
