The French naval advisory group set out from the Haikou base to Baisha. Dan Renxiong received the news and issued a series of orders. The units of the Fifth Xue Army on the front line immediately entered a war-ready state. Then, the French had just arrived at Baisha. The next moment So he sent someone to take him to the front line.
Because of the arrogance of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, especially in inciting local indigenous people to confront the colonial government, the European colonists in Southeast Asia suffered many inhumane treatments. For their own safety, the French did not want to go to the front lines to observe the cadet troops and the Japanese army. The fighting between them was actually conflicting. They were afraid that if the Japanese went crazy, they would be affected and suffer unreasonable disasters. Therefore, although Li Tieshu repeatedly assured them that there was absolutely no safety problem, the French still looked very unhappy after arriving at the front line. It looks so good that many people even subconsciously slow down and prick up their ears, fearing to hear the scream of artillery shells.
The cautious performance of the French made the senior officers of the Fifth Army led by Shan Renxiong all burst into laughter. These French people were also too timid. After a brief greeting, Shan Renxiong deliberately gave the French a shock. After looking at his watch, he directly issued an attack order, and then invited Degu: "Let's go and see how our young men kill the enemy."
Degu was startled and quickly refused: "Just take a look here."
Lu Lai also said: "Don't you have a telescope? It's the same looking here."
The French could not insist on going to the front line, which actually solved Shan Renxiong's idea. After he and Li Tieshu looked at each other, they invited the French to climb up so that they could overlook the battlefield.
Two signal bombs, one red and one green, rose into the sky, and the next moment the "tick-tock" charge bugle sounded. About two brigades of cadet soldiers rushed out of the trenches and rushed towards the Japanese position, and the "tick-tock" gunfire The sound rang out,
After climbing high, Degu and others saw clearly the Japanese defense situation through the telescope, and couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "The Japanese army's defense system is very strong. In this case, there is no need to prepare for artillery fire."
Although De Gu and others are engaged in the navy, they are not ignorant of land warfare. Someone else asked: "Why not launch an air attack? This level of defense is difficult to break through with infantry alone."
"Boom." There was an explosion not far away, but it was a grenade that exploded. The smoke dispersed, and dozens of students rushed forward bravely.
No matter who looks at it, this is a bit of a weird battle.
Although Koizumi Minichiro, Yamamoto Isoroku, Yoneuchi Mitsumasa, Tojo Hideki and others all knew that the Fourth Division's presence on Hainan Island was problematic, they did not know the specific situation, and because Sawada Shigeru had painstakingly built such a large A large-scale fortification group, so they generally came up with the idea that no matter how bad the Fourth Division was, with such strong fortifications, there would be no problem in defending it.
What is the real situation?
Degu and others would never have imagined that the battle taking place in front of them was completely a play staged by the Xuebing Army and the Fourth Division, not to mention that the Xuebing Army had already given power to the Osaka Division through the "stealing the sky in exchange for the sun" plan. There has been a major change among the lower-level officers in the regiment, but without this factor, what can the 4th Osaka Division do except follow the Xuebingjun's intentions? The Xuebingjun suddenly "turned against" the Fourth Division. From the perspective of the little devils in the division, there really is nothing worse than this.
If Deku and others had taken a flight to inspect the entire Japanese-occupied area before, they would have been surprised to find that most of the Japanese, who were always known for their bravery and prowess, had turned into farmers.
The Japs of the Fourth Division actually had no choice but to reach this point. The supplies provided by the local area were getting less and less. In order not to starve to death, about half of them had to put down their guns and pick up hoes to reclaim wasteland for farming. , I have to admit that the Japanese are quite hard-working. No, in about a year and a half, they actually opened up tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the coastal area of southwest Qiong, and even raised chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. …
The Japs in the Fourth Division, whether they are mid-level or low-level officers or low-level soldiers, are actually used to living in "peaceful coexistence" with the Fifth Army. The most ironic thing is that some of them who made a fortune through smuggling actually turned The family members took over and lived together.
There has been no war on Hainan Island for so long that many Japanese soldiers' 38-year-old soldiers were rusted. So when the Fifth Army suddenly turned against them and showed hostility, many Japanese soldiers thought they were "Chinese friends." Are you joking? I stupidly ran over to ask "Chinese friends" to confirm this matter.
The "Chinese friends" all received the notice from above, so they told their "Japanese friends" one by one with compassion: "This is true. Commander-in-Chief Ouyang has issued an order to expel you. So and so, I warn you." You, when the time comes for a fight, don’t be stupid and run as far as you can.”
In the Fourth Division, almost 80% of the Japanese had "Chinese friends." Well, Sawada Shigeru didn't know that the Fifth Army was preparing to attack the Fourth Division, but the troops below spread the news like crazy, and then By the time he felt something was wrong, it was already too late.
Because of this prelude, in the eyes of the French, this battle was really amazing: Facing such strong fortifications, the Xuebin Army neither organized bombing nor prepared artillery fire, and actually managed to survive with only a few thousand weapons. The rifle cadets defeated the Japanese army.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, the Japanese troops rushed out of the fortifications with a roar. When they first saw this scene, the French were startled, and then they discovered that their direction was south. They were all speechless.
The Japanese, who had beaten the shit out of the Dutch and British in Southeast Asia, actually ran away without fighting when they faced the cadet army. This was incredible. I saw the first cadet army flag raised on the Japanese position, and then the second On the second side, in just a quarter of an hour, the Japanese army abandoned two lines of defense. Degu was stunned at first, then rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked for a while, put down the telescope and asked Li Tieshu: "Deputy Commander Li, are you sure you are on the other side?" It’s really the Japanese army.”
Li Tieshu suppressed a smile and replied seriously: "It's true."
De Gu was confused and stammered: "But, but, this, this, this is too, too unbelievable."
Shan Renxiong coughed twice to suppress the smile in his heart, and said sternly: "As I said, this Japanese army has been frightened by us."
"But, but, that, such a solid position," Lu Lai said, he was also confused,
"To be honest, I feel strange. Could it be that the Japanese are ready to give up?" Li Tieshu said,
The single hero pretended to be shocked and realized something, and then loudly issued an order: "Get me to the Qiongzhong Air Force Base and ask them to send a reconnaissance plane to conduct a reconnaissance." After conveying the order, he issued an invitation to the French: " Gentlemen, let's go to the forefront and see what's going on."
De Gu thought for a moment, then nodded,
Twenty minutes later, they set foot on the first Japanese defensive position. Under the protection of several Unity Brigade soldiers, Degu and his party went down to the tunnel and carefully inspected it. Their doubts became even greater: "How strong is it?" Underground fortifications, it's strange why the Japanese just gave up."
The Fourth Division is not good at fighting, but it is good at civil construction, so the underground defenses they excavated are quite good in terms of solidity and practicality. It is no wonder that the French have such doubts.
A quarter of an hour later, this question seemed to be resolved. Dan Renxiong received a telegram and told Degu and others: "It seems that the Japanese are really ready to abandon this place. Our reconnaissance plane found that they were landing in the area of Hachisho Port." Ship, pass my order, attack at full speed, be sure to keep them behind."
"Yes." A staff officer responded loudly, then picked up the microphone and called to the frontline troops.
If Degu and others really go to the front line, they may be able to unravel the mystery of this battle.
Of course, the Japs were real Japs, but they were of a completely different type than what they had heard about. If I had to use one word to describe the entire battle process, the only word would be "child's play".
For the students who studied the Fifth Army, they actually wanted to fight vigorously. Since arriving in Hainan Island, apart from fighting the Japanese army at the beginning, the students who stayed on Hainan Island to study the Fifth Army The cadets of the army have never had sex with others. In addition to training every day, in the cadet army, which judges heroes based on military merit, although it seems that the safety factor has been greatly improved, it also means that both bonuses and promotion speed are much higher. Being much weaker than the brothers' troops is something that every student who aspires to become a general is not willing to face.
But this battle is really impossible to fight. It's not that they are soft-hearted, but that the other party doesn't resist at all.
Over here, the cadet army had just rushed into the open space in front of the Japanese first line of defense fortifications. Over there, a white flag made of white shirts was stretched out: "Brother so-and-so, please don't shoot. We will withdraw immediately." .”
"Grandma, you're a bear, who is your brother?"
"Yes, yes, you are the uncle and we are the grandsons. Please give us another five minutes."
The Japs of the Fourth Division still gained something in Hainan Island. Their Chinese language has improved a lot. Although it sounds a bit awkward, it at least does not prevent them from expressing what they mean.
The trainees became impatient and shouted: "Five minutes, our commander is watching from behind, three minutes, damn it, I have real bullets in my gun this time."
In the past, in order to cooperate with the Fourth Division to achieve "achievements", they often imitated the Fifth Army and engaged in paid resistance with blank ammunition. At first, the little devil had illusions, thinking that he could continue to use money to buy peace, but later he received it. After the commander's stern warning, they realized that this time the Xuebing Army was serious about it.
The sweat started to fall from the forehead of the Japs who shouted: "Yes, yes, three minutes." Then he shouted to other Japs around him: "Hurry up, Hurry up, Master Xuebing only gives us three minutes."
The Japs wanted to hurry up, but the bracket of the Type 92 heavy machine gun was too tightly fixed. The more nervous they were, the less they could use their hands and feet. So, they only heard a gunshot, and all the Japs were shocked, and then they didn't know. Where did he find the strength to pull out the bracket and the machine gun from the concrete? The Japanese fell to the ground, then ignored the pain on their backs and raised the machine gun and ran away. The one with the white flag ran out. After taking a few steps, I didn't forget to turn around and say hello: "Sang-san, that's all."
The Japs in the Fourth Division couldn't help but be timid and extremely greedy for money, because these guys dared to sell anything. Sawada Shigeru had no choice but to let his men pour the bracket of the Type 92 heavy machine gun into the concrete. This led to the scene just now. ,
