The French naval advisory group set off from the Haikou base to Baisha. After Shan Renxiong received the news, he issued a series of orders. The units of the Fifth Xue Army on the front line immediately entered a war-ready state. After flying, the French had just arrived at Baisha, and got off
In an instant, he sent someone to pick him up and 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.
In fact, there was resistance to fighting among them, fearing 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 laugh. These French people were 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: "Isn't there a telescope? It's the same looking here."
The French could not insist on going to the front line, which actually played into Shan Renxiong's mind. 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 cadets rushed out of the trenches and rushed towards the Japanese position - "tick-tock" of guns.
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 defense system is very strong? Isn't it necessary to prepare for artillery fire in this case?"
Although Degu 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, right?"
"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 concept: Even if the Fourth Division fails, with such strong fortifications, there will always be no problem in defending it, right?
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 the Osaka Division some help through the "stealing the sky and changing the sun" plan.
There has been a major change of officers at the lower levels of 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 4th Division
From the perspective of the little devils in the regiment, there really is nothing worse than this.
If Deku and others had taken a plane 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 in fighting, had actually become farmers at this time.
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 and farm on their own. I have to admit that the Japanese are quite hard-working. In about a year and a half, they actually opened up tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland in the coastal areas of southwestern Qiongzhou, and even raised chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep... …
The Japs in the Fourth Division, whether they are low-level officers or low-level soldiers, are actually used to the days of "peaceful coexistence" with the Fifth Army. The most ironic thing is that some of the guys who made a fortune through smuggling and got promoted actually left their families behind. Take it over and live together.
There has been no war on Hainan Island for so long that many Japanese soldiers have rust on their 38th army. So when the Fifth Army suddenly turned against them and showed hostility, many Japanese soldiers thought they were "friends of the country." What a joke, I stupidly ran over to ask my "national friends" to confirm this matter.
The "national 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 have "national friends." Well, Sawada Shigeru didn't know that the Fifth Army was preparing to attack the Fourth Division, but the troops below went crazy, and then waited By the time he sensed 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 gunshots were fired, the Japanese troops rushed out of the fortifications with a roar. When they first saw this scene, the French were shocked, and then they discovered that their direction was south, and they were all speechless.
The Japanese, who had beaten the Dutch and the British to pieces in Southeast Asia, actually fled without fighting when they faced the cadet army? This is really incredible. I watched the first cadet army flag raised on the Japanese position, and then the third 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?" Are they really Japanese soldiers?"
Li Tieshu couldn't hold back his 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 shouted an order: "Get me the Qiong Air Force Base and let them send a reconnaissance plane to conduct a reconnaissance." After conveying the order, he issued an invitation to the French: "Mr.
Guys, let’s go to the forefront and see what’s going on!”
Degu 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 did the Japanese just give up?”
The Fourth Division was not good at fighting, but it was good at civil construction, so the underground defenses they excavated were quite good in terms of solidity and practicality. It is no wonder that the French had such doubts.
A quarter of an hour later, this question seemed to be resolved. After receiving a telegram, Dan Renxiong 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, all attack, be sure to keep them!"
"Yes!" A staff officer responded loudly, then picked up the microphone and called to the frontline troops——
If De Gu 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, the only word would be child's play.
For the students studying the Fifth Army, they actually hope to have a vigorous fight - since arriving in Hainan Island, in addition to 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 actually never had sex again. 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 promotions are required.
Weaker than the brothers' troops - this is something that every student who aspires to be 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, you are the uncle! 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!*, 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.
Only after the commander's stern warning did they know that the Xuebingjun was serious about it this time.
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: "So-and-so-san, that's it!"
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.
