As far as he knew, those country bumpkins who came from the pass were not equipped with helmets at all. After all, Rehe was close to the pass. For the 18th Army troops operating in the pass, this anti-Japanese force was a huge headache for the Japanese army.
He still had some knowledge about armed forces. He knew that those Tubal Road soldiers who did not even have guns and uniforms of different colors did not have helmets at all.
In the past few days, when he was moving behind the lines of the advancing army and causing trouble, he had never seen the troops of the advancing army wearing steel helmets. If there are troops equipped with steel helmets in the village, then there is only one explanation. There are resistors from the north in the village.
United. Because currently on the Jehol battlefield, apart from the imperial army, they are the only ones equipped with steel helmets in large quantities.
Although he knew from the inside line in the village that a high-level headquarters of the Advance Army was stationed here, Cui Sihu did not know about the arrival of Yang Zhen and his party here. Because Yang Zhen was coming, certain adjustments were made to the security work at the Advance Army headquarters.
The level is much stricter than before. As early as a few hours before Yang Zhen arrived here, people in the village had been prohibited from entering and exiting.
Before the Japanese and puppet troops led by Yasuhiro Takada arrived, Cui Sihu not only easily alerted the enemy in order not to reveal his whereabouts before the so-called reinforcements arrived, but the most important thing was that he was worried that people who were not from the village would not be in this populated area.
Lingering in areas that are not very dense for a long time will expose yourself.
Although this mountain village is a relatively large mountain village in the Rehe Mountains, it is a mountainous area after all. The population of a mountain village is still not large. Since the headquarters of the advancing army has been stationed here for a few days, so for
The people here will definitely have a general grasp and understanding.
Once there are strangers who are not from this village wandering outside the village for a long time, it is easy to arouse suspicion. Although there are not many security forces at the foot of the mountain, they are not something that a plainclothes team of only a few dozen people can resist. So he
He had withdrawn his plainclothes team to the mountains to the north to hide as early as yesterday. He only sent personnel around to secretly monitor whether the big fish here had retreated.
It's just that he cherishes his own life, and none of the people he sends out don't take his own life seriously. It's said to be surveillance, but in fact, their location is still several miles away from the village. These people only dare to fly in the sky
When it's dark, you can go and take a look around the village. But during the day, you wouldn't even dare to approach the village.
Before and after Yang Zhen arrived, his inside line in the village was blocked by the village, and he was trapped in the village and couldn't get out. Even if he got more valuable information, he couldn't send it out. Therefore, this guy has no idea about Yang Zhen.
Although the group of people arrived in an armored vehicle and a car, he had no idea about it.
Of course, if he knew that the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Alliance who caused the Kwantung Army to lose troops and generals in succession was here at this time, I am afraid he would be even more excited. The higher the position of a person in the village, the greater his contribution.
Of course, the rewards from the Japanese will be even greater.
If the main leaders of the advancing army and the Anti-League could be captured at once, then the credit would be as great as heaven. But for him, although this would make him even more excited. But after already knowing the situation of the Anti-League equipment
Next, he will be more cautious.
Although he had already learned about Yang Jicai's arrival from insiders, he also knew from insiders that the anti-alliance force equipped with tanks and artillery had been transferred eastward to the battlefield. And the reason why he
He only learned that the Anti-Japanese Alliance wore steel helmets after an insider in the village told him about the characteristics of the troops coming from the north.
After learning that some troops from the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the north had arrived in Rehe, especially after hearing the report of the Anti-Union equipment from insiders in the village, this guy almost wet his pants with fear. If the insider had not told him that the Anti-Union troops were going south.
The troops have been transferred eastward, and he would not dare to stay here any longer.
Although it is not necessary to give up, at least after the reinforcements of Takada Yasuhiro's troops arrive, he will find an excuse to run far away. Instead of being stupid and claiming credit for himself here. Just kidding, people can't even compete with such a powerful Kanto.
The army was defeated and the generals were destroyed. With the little shrimps under my command, who would be their opponent?
It is better to leave those anti-resistance alliances to the Kwantung Army, and it is more appropriate to run as far as possible. Anyway, if they win, the Japanese will not forget their contribution. After all, the intelligence was sent by themselves. If they lose, it will not be good for themselves.
It has no impact. The Kwantung Army fought the battle yourself and has nothing to do with me. In any case, he is absolutely unwilling to face the Anti-Japanese Alliance directly.
However, although this guy surrendered to the enemy and betrayed his country, he committed all kinds of evil, working for the Japanese and massacring his own compatriots. But his vision was indeed vicious. Just from the reflection of the helmet occasionally exposed in the stone wall opposite, he could tell that his opponent had changed. But this was also
It cannot be said that all the credit was due to him, because the advance of the army itself also had something to do with it.
So far, although the equipment of the advancing army has been greatly improved, at least it is no longer the situation of lack of guns and ammunition in the past. However, due to its own conditions, it has not been effectively improved in other aspects. At least in
The colors of military uniforms have not yet been unified.
The troops from the 129th Division and the Taihang Military Region wear gray military uniforms, also known as the famous Ba Ye Gray. The troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region wear khaki clothes. The main forces of the two military regions,
The military uniforms on their bodies are distinct. Apart from the similar styles, the colors are completely different.
There were even some people who were incorporated into the main force from the local army before departure. Due to the difficult conditions in the base area, they were unable to raise enough military uniforms in a short time, so they were only issued a military cap. As for the clothes they were wearing, they were still wearing them.
Armed with local weapons, that is, people's clothes.
Although after the troops were concentrated, the two major military regions also tried to raise some new military uniforms. At least the uniforms on the troops were uniform and looked like a regular army. However, due to the constraints of the conditions, even if they exerted all their strength,
The answer is that there is really nothing that can be done by concentrating the efforts of the two major military regions to redress the entire army.
Except for the three pairs of military shoes per person, the rest can only be given to each other. Either one regiment will be given a batch of new military caps, and the other regiment will be given a batch of new leggings, or the two regiments will be divided equally.
The military uniforms of the regiments are adjusted by each unit. In addition to ensuring that the colors of the military uniforms within each brigade are unified as much as possible, the rest is really powerless. Therefore, when the advancing troops leave the border, the colors of the military uniforms still cannot be unified.
This is also one of the main reasons why the advancing army did not receive support from the common people when it first came out of the border. In the eyes of the local people, how can there be an army in the world that wears such rags? The military uniforms are rags.
Well, before the fall of the enemy, many of the guest troops who came to Jehol had their military uniforms in tatters, but at least the colors of your military uniforms must be the same.
But look at the military uniforms, not to mention the large and small patches sewn on them, but the colors are different. Some people even don’t even have military uniforms except for a hat and leggings, and are still wearing civilian clothes.
.Can such a team fight? If I tell you, not many people will believe it.
Although there have been no wars in Rehe in recent years, it does not mean that the people in Rehe have little knowledge. Before the fall of Rehe, although the Central Army of the Nationalist Government had never seen it, the commander-in-chief and the soldiers from the general headquarters were not uncommon either.
.Not to mention the five-leather Northeastern Army who was wearing leather boots, belts, leather bags, fur coats, and leather riding whips.
Even those miscellaneous armed forces, whether they are local small warlords, the direct army, the National Army and other countless external armed forces, are much better dressed than these advanced troops. Let's not talk about their combat effectiveness.
The military uniform is also in tatters, but at least the uniform on his body is still neat and uniform.
But these marching troops, if you don’t look at the weapons on them, are simply a bunch of beggars. Such an army can beat away the Japanese, who are you kidding? In those days, Marshal Tang’s team was neatly dressed in military uniforms and had five skins. On weekdays, they were Raff, marching
Food can be used for everything, but the Japanese can't run faster than anyone else when they arrive. How can you beggars be better than Marshal Tang's team? When the time comes, you will have made enough, and run away with oil under your feet.
Aren’t the unlucky people still the common people?
Because the uniforms of the advancing army were really in tatters, the people of Rehe had little confidence in whether this army could defeat the Japanese army. Even in the eyes of a considerable number of people, the advancing army was competing with those who wanted food in the name of resisting Japan.
They wanted pay, even for women, but when they really fought against the Japanese, they were defeated faster than anyone else, or they were comparable to the bandit armed forces who greased the soles of their feet and ran into the pass.
This is the issue of confidence that Yang Zhen mentioned. Although a beautiful military uniform does not represent real combat effectiveness. But for ordinary people, they don’t quite understand this. Although from the perspective of ordinary people in this era, whether the military uniform is beautiful or not,
They can't taste it either.
But they can still tell if the military uniforms represent the army or the bandits. The common people have the simplest thinking. Those who wear uniform uniforms are regular troops. Those who wear tattered uniforms like those of the marching army are bandits.
Armed.
Although many of the troops who were once stationed in Rehe and wore uniforms were not much different from bandits in their behavior. They even scraped the land with much more ferocity than bandits. But in the eyes of ordinary people, as long as they are in military uniforms
If it's neat, it's a regular army, if it's not, it's an armed bandit, here to collect money.
Especially the people of Rehe who experienced the most stable and strict military discipline in the history of Rehe, when the Yi army was stationed in dark blue military uniforms, were very concerned about whether the uniforms of an army were neat or not. Because besides Yi
During the military period, when other warlords were stationed in Jehol, there was no one who did not disturb the people. A large part of the reason why the advancing army could not even recruit migrant workers was because of their tattered military uniforms, which made them look like ordinary people in the eyes of the people.
An armed group of bandits.
The poor people currently marching into the army without complete military uniforms naturally cannot afford to equip them with helmets. Some of the Japanese-made steel helmets that were seized during the battle were not worn because they were worried about accidental injuries from the anti-resistance forces on the battlefield.
, all stayed in the base area behind enemy lines before departure.
In the entire Jehol battlefield, except for the Japanese army, only the team led by Yang Jicai, who all wore French helmets, had steel helmets. Therefore, people like Cui Sihu could judge whether their opponents were advancing or resisting based on whether they were worthy of wearing steel helmets.
Lian, not too surprised.
Although he didn't know that the Commander-in-Chief of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and his security forces were also here, he still vaguely felt that something was wrong when the light of a helmet flashed from behind the wall. Although he had no real contact with the Anti-Japanese Alliance
, but it was able to defeat the Kwantung Army, which he regarded as extremely powerful, without losing his temper at all. Coupled with the powerful equipment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance that had been reported to him by insiders before, this army undoubtedly made him feel very scary.
