War of Resistance

Chapter 1355: Battle in Central Jiangxi!

Thinking back to when the No.60 Army arrived in Xuzhou as the number one main force of the Yunnan Army, its military capacity and excellent weapons were not even comparable to many central armies.

But it’s different now. After a series of vicious battles, not to mention the huge loss of the veterans, the important thing is that the loss of equipment is also huge. The No.60 army armed with French weapons has been crippled. !
The current No.60 Yunnan Army is still in good spirits, but it is undeniable that most of them are recruits, and the huge loss of weapons and equipment has caused their combat effectiveness to decline very seriously.

On the hillside, French steel helmets shone inconspicuously under the sunlight, and countless soldiers of the Yunnan Army were waiting for a new round of Japanese attack.

The blood of the comrades around me on the ground is still fresh, and the enemy's fighter planes are constantly circling in the sky. All the officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Army regard death as home. Since they left Yunnan, they have come to the front line to kill the enemy. , These Japanese invaders in front of them are very cruel, but they have no choice, because their homeland is behind them!It's their brothers and sisters!It is the land that our ancestors have loved for generations!

If they retreat like this, then their parents, brothers and sisters will be massacred by these invaders who have no conscience at all!They don't want their family members, villagers and elders to suffer the tragedy like Nanjing!
Although China is big, they have no way to retreat!

"Shh~~~Boom!!!"

A Japanese aerial bomb slammed into the ground of the national army position, and then blasted a big crater.

Fortunately, the accuracy of the Japanese bombing was a little bit worse, otherwise it would have hit the trenches.

The soldiers of the Yunnan Army did not receive the order to "shoot into the air" from the officers, because the officers knew that at the current height of the Japanese aircraft, they would be wasting bullets, and it would be better to wait for them to dive or close-range bombing before attacking. Only in this way can the enemy plane be shot down with a high probability.

This is the importance of military education for grassroots officers.

Although at this time, the officers and soldiers of the No. 60 Army were indeed mostly recruits and the loss of equipment was huge, but only in terms of the quality of grassroots officers, most other national army units were inferior to the Yunnan Army.

Of course, Zhang Tianhai's first guard regiment was also included in the other national army units.

It should be noted that the company-level officers of the No. 60 Army are basically "certified" after receiving education from the Yunnan Lecture Hall. Poor cadets.

You must know that most of the graduates of the branch schools of the Central Military Academy are given priority to enter the first echelon of direct-line troops such as Hu Zongnan's First Army, Guan Linzheng's Second Army, and Yu Jishi's No.70 Fourth Army. Units like the No.11 Army and Du Yuming's Fifth Army.

A lineage unit like the Ninth War Zone Guard Force, although its combat effectiveness is stronger than ordinary levels, due to the particularity of the unit and the fact that the main commander does not choose sides like Song Xilian, it has successfully "reduced" to the lineage at the end of the second line politically. force.

According to the normal troops, the direct line troops at the end of the second line can't get any soup to drink, and they can only "continue their lives" by relying on a little something distributed by the top.But the Ninth War Zone Security Force is different. Due to the outstanding record of this force and the excellent performance of Commander Zhang Tianhai, apart from the fact that the officers were not assigned to it, this force still survives in terms of weapons and equipment supplies. Interesting, faintly has the posture of the elite troops equipped by the national army.

Keke, get back to business.

The calmness and composure of the Dian Army surprised the Japanese commanders: Although they had launched five offensives, each of them achieved remarkable results and the troops were able to take a step forward, but the casualties It is also rising steadily, but the enemy can remain as quiet as ever!
Lieutenant General Ryotaro Nakai, the commander of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army, was not very satisfied with this result, because in addition to achieving the goal of the campaign, he also wanted to "revenge his shame". The shame of the main force being wiped out during the lieutenant general period!

You know, when Matsuura Junrokuro took office as the lieutenant-general commander of the [-]th Division, he went crazy, and in the end he was indeed wiped out the main force, but at the beginning, he beat these national army troops It's like beating chickens and dogs, singing and advancing all the way, very chic.

As the saying goes, if there is comparison, there will be harm. Lieutenant General Ryotaro Nakai, the main fighter of the Imperial Dao faction who has always regarded himself highly, does not think that he will be worse than that idiot Matsuura Junrokuro. This is where his pride lies.

"Which position has our troops advanced to?" Lieutenant General Ryotaro Nakai asked the chief of staff around him.

The chief of staff, Hiroichiro Ito, reported at attention: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, our frontline troops have approached Gao'an County in three ways. The enemy suffered heavy casualties, and some troops were even attacked by us in two rounds. It will be the first to collapse!"

"Yoxi, Yamashita-kun's methods are quite fierce. The 111th Brigade is indeed the number one main force after the reconstruction of my [-]th Division! It's doing very well! Order them to speed up the pace of attack and try to take Gao'an County before dark !" Lieutenant General Nakai Ryotaro was not very satisfied, but he still pretended to be satisfied, what he wanted was to achieve the established military goals as soon as possible while stabilizing the morale of the army.

"Yes! Sir! I would like to die for Your Excellency, Head of the Division!!" Hiroichiro Ito said loudly. For him, being able to work under Nakai Ryotaro, the future "Flower of the Empire" is a great thing. The dream thing, if the [-]th Division under the leadership of Lieutenant General Matsuura Junrokuro had not been wiped out, such a thing would not have happened at all.

Even the three-year-old children at the entrance of the village know that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Would Colonel Hiroichiro Ito know?Do not make jokes.

After Chief of Staff Hiroichiro Ito left, Lieutenant General Ryotaro Nakai began to plan the next battle plan.

Nakai Ryotaro also knew that with the strength of the current [-]th Division, taking Gao'an County is not a difficult task at all. The key is that the next step is the most difficult. Their goal is to take the Chinese defenders The troops were wiped out west of Fengxin County.

"As a general, you must keep your mind clear at all times. Only by keeping your mind clear can you come up with a winning strategy to defeat the enemy!" Lieutenant General Ryotaro Nakai muttered to himself, which was taught by his teacher, General Araki Sadao. his words.
