My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 296 (Two More In One) Division 200

Outside the city of Mangshi, more than [-] armored vehicles parked quietly in the open space. Soldiers from the Chariot Battalion were holding tools and overhauling several vehicles emitting black smoke.

In the battle just now, the Chariot Battalion was destroyed by the Japanese during the assault and destroyed three armored vehicles, and the subsequent street fighting also allowed the crazy little devil to destroy two with a suicide attack.

The Chariot Battalion lost five armored vehicles successively. In addition, the hulls of the remaining armored vehicles were also damaged to varying degrees.

"How's the situation?"

"Battalion Commander, the tracks of three tanks are damaged, and the brothers are repairing them, but the No. 13 and No. 20 tanks can't start the fire. It seems that the engine has failed, and we can't fix it for the time being..."

Yuan Li frowned, and asked casually: "Isn't Qiu Guaizi from Sanlian good at repairing engines? Why don't you go to him?"

"He, he has touched the old man's tank, and he doesn't know how to handle this German thing." The soldier replied with a sad face.

Although the Sdkfz251 armored vehicle has powerful functions, its mechanical structure is relatively complicated, and it looks a bit delicate compared with the grass-resistant Soviet-style weapons.No, after a battle, there are five or six nests lying in place and unable to move.

"Haha! Lao Yuan, move fast, have you killed all the little devils in the city?"

Just when Yuan Li was racking his brains to think of a way, the sloppy and lazy Hong Mu led people over happily: "Hey, what's going on? This is it? You got knocked down so much by little devils?"

"Well, 5 vehicles were destroyed, and 5 vehicles were damaged. I think the participants will curse when they find out." Yuan Li shook his head with a frustrated expression.

Hong Mu rolled his eyes, and a smile burst out on his round face again, and he comforted him proudly:

"Hey, it's okay, isn't it worth it? It takes half a day to wipe out his entire brigade, with less than 200 casualties. Where can we find such a battle to fight? Don't worry, the participants will not curse people for no reason. , I really want to trouble you brother, I will carry it with you!"

This is true, and Yuan Li's uneasy heart suddenly became clear, and he nodded gratefully to Hong Mu.

Because he was new here and had the experience of being captured by the enemy, he always felt a little ashamed. Except for him, most of the fighters in the chariot battalion shared this idea.

So much so that apart from the necessary training exchanges, they are not willing to contact other people, just doing their own things silently.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, these guys are very lonely, but in fact they are not. They are just extremely inferior, and they have developed a timid mentality under long-term detention.

At the same time, this group of people also wanted to perform well in front of Liao Mingyu, so as to wash away the shame of being captured, so that they have always been strict with themselves, doing things cautiously, for fear of making mistakes and being looked down upon by others.

Fortunately, the officer system of the third regiment is all young people, and Yuan Li and the others are really capable. Chen Jize and others have given them the greatest respect, let alone a familiar like Hong Mu, who has long been familiar with Zhan All the officers and soldiers in the car camp mingled together.

This battle completely released their hearts. The bullets hit the little devil so heartily. Amid the screams and wailing of the Japanese, they finally recovered their lost honor.

……

The news of taking down Mangshi quickly spread to Longling, but because Liao Mingyu was still in Zenda, Fang Jingyao had full authority to handle the affairs on the front line.

Now Xing Fuquan's Second Main Regiment has been transferred back to Longling, and almost all the troops of the Third Honor Division are stationed here.

After getting the news, Fang Jingyao immediately arranged for Ah Yi to take the engineering regiment to Mangshi. Their task was to build bridges and roads at designated locations, build defensive positions and temporary command posts, so that the remaining two main regiments could move forward as quickly as possible. Speed ​​into the defensive battle.

It is now August 8th, and piles of materials from the rear have been transported to Longling. Guns, ammunition, supplies, transport trucks... Countless materials have filled several warehouses.

What I never expected was that another batch of heavy firepower was sent from above. There were 18 37 anti-aircraft guns, 36 Bofors 75mm mountain guns, and several 155 and 105 howitzers. During the group, Krupp was so surprised that he even missed two bowls of rice.

According to Liao Mingyu's order, 18 anti-war artillery pieces and 36 Bofors mountain artillery pieces were divided into three regiments belonging to the artillery battalion, and the soldiers were first selected from the artillery regiment.

The divisional artillery regiment has 12 155 howitzers and 24 105 howitzers, as well as a large number of tractor trucks.

As early as the Sichuan Army, Li Liansheng and Krupp had already begun to expand the artillery force. At that time, an artillery battalion had grown to a team of more than 1500 people.

And these people are not acting as auxiliary soldiers. During that time, they fought against Takeuchi Lianshan on both sides of the Nu River almost every day. Almost two-thirds of the soldiers have personally operated artillery. They have a certain shooting foundation, but they are proficient The degree is not high.

Until now, the training of the Artillery of the Third Division has always been the focus of attention. Someone's ancestral phobia of insufficient firepower is deeply rooted in his bones, and he does not hesitate to spend a huge price to train these half-baked artillery with live ammunition.

However, if it is not a matter of overnight to train some experienced artillerymen, although the current number of artillerymen is sufficient, the quality is somewhat unsatisfactory.

There is no way, we can only use the principle of using the old to bring the new to set up the troops. As for the proficiency of the gunner... it can only be honed slowly in actual combat.

After all, time waits for no one. After the reorganization of the artillery unit is completed, the remaining two main regiments will go to the front line and have a head-to-head decisive battle with the 18th Division.

In addition to the Honorary Third Division, which is in full swing for reorganization, other expeditionary forces on both sides of the Nujiang River are also racing against time.

First, the 20th Army slowly doubled away from the east and north of Tengchong, and then the contest between the U.S. Air Force and the Japanese Army Aviation gradually came to an end.

In the absence of supplements and maintenance, the Tengchong Japanese combat flight team could not fight the Yankees for a long time. The few fighters destroyed one and one less, and soon they lost their air supremacy under the attack of the US military. .

The Yankees will not be polite to them, and then launched day-to-day air raids and bombings on the defense lines of Tengchong. No matter what the effect is, at least the momentum is mighty. A Chinese army.

The 2nd Army arrived at Nantianmen on the 30th and took over the defense of the 71st Army, while Yu Xiaoqing rushed to Longling with the three divisions of the 71st Army as planned and entered the combat position.

As for Longling, the second main group was still adjusting, but Long Wenwen had already rushed to Mangshi with the first group.Because according to intelligence, part of the 18th Wing under the enemy's 55th Division has arrived [-] kilometers west of Mangshi today.

The war is about to break out, and both sides have put everything into this war. At this moment, there is no room for slack and mistakes.

……

Now the troops and related personnel of the Third Honor Division in Zenda have basically been moved to Longling, and only Liao Mingyu and the guard battalion around him are left.

Because Fang Jingyao, Long Wenwen and others are in charge of the overall situation on the front line, he is not in a hurry to go back now, after all, there are still some important things to do.

In the morning, Liao Mingyu went to visit Milong. Fortunately, Tie Hanhan, who survived the catastrophe, did not receive any fatal injuries. He could recover as long as he rested for a while, but this time the battle would not be able to catch up.

"Sensei, have the troops already moved out? Who is in charge of my battalion now?"

Milong, who was lying on the bed, asked Liao Mingyu curiously. His left leg was broken. To put it bluntly, it was broken by someone, and he was still wearing a plaster cast.From the head to the entire upper body is covered with bandages, just like a mummy.

"The troops have already arrived in Mangshi, and I have to go there soon, but don't worry about these things, and take care of your injuries. Xiao Er, bring those things in for him!"

Liao Mingyu raised his brows and teased, "You are lucky, kid. This is a good old hen. I paid a lot of money to get it."

"Hey, what are you doing with this, er, what... Senator, in fact, my leg will be able to remove the plaster cast in two days, if not then let me go back to the army?"

Milong suddenly made a request, and the brothers had already rushed to the front line. To be honest, he really didn't want to miss this battle.

"Who the hell told you that you can run away after the plaster cast is removed? An Anxin can heal your injuries. You have been impulsive for more than once or twice. It's time for me to reflect on myself!" Liao Mingyu flatly rejected his request, calmly The face scolded angrily.

"Didn't I also learn from you..." Milong grinned and muttered, he just killed a company commander, and he was not at the same level as him.

"What are you talking about!?"

"No, no, I mean, I will learn from you... No, I will reflect on it..."

……

After coming out of the hospital, Liao Mingyu did not leave Zenda immediately, but ran to the Zhendong camp. Today is September 9st. The reason why he didn't leave was to wait for the arrival of an army.

The 200th Division, the first and only large-scale armored unit in the national army, had a great reputation before that, and even within the Japanese army, they feared and hated this unit.

The bald head of state even regarded this army as the jewel in his palm, known as the elite of the elite.

At the beginning, the 200th Division had a tank regiment, an armored regiment, a motorized infantry regiment, a field artillery regiment, a truck transport regiment, as well as search battalions, anti-tank artillery battalions, supplementary battalions, etc... The troops were well organized, The weapons are well proportioned.

据统计，200师先后共接收过70辆T-26轻型坦克、4辆BT-5快速坦克、18辆菲亚特CV-33轻坦克和大量轮式装甲车。

In addition to tanks and combat vehicles, the division also has various heavy equipment such as anti-aircraft guns, field guns, and howitzers.

The 200th Division is not only well equipped, but also has a large number of people and a complete range of arms. When the army was formed in 38, the number of soldiers in the division exceeded 2, which was about the same size as a division of the Japanese army.

The 200th Division became famous in the Battle of Kunlun Pass, and head-to-head with the No. 20 First Brigade, the Japanese ace force known as the "Steel Army".With the cooperation of friendly forces, the No.20 [-]st Brigade was severely damaged, more than [-] enemies were wiped out, and Masao Nakamura, the commander of the brigade, was killed.

The most glorious time was the battle with the ancients. It was the first time to fight in Burma. Under the leadership of General Dai Anlan, he fought fiercely with the Japanese army several times his own with more than 2000 troops and wiped out more than 5000 Japanese invaders at the cost of more than [-] people.

It's a pity that the 200th Division also paid a very heavy price while achieving these two impressive achievements.

More than half of the casualties were directly on the Kunlun Pass battlefield. After the Battle of Tonggu, they were ambushed by the Japanese when they retreated to Savage Mountain. General Dai died in battle, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. All heavy equipment was lost, and less than 3000 people fled back. domestic.

So far, the 200th division has rested in Kunming for more than a year, and they don't know what it is like now. Liao Mingyu is somewhat uncertain.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, a strange team was slowly walking towards Zenda.

The weapons and clothing of the soldiers in the team are very new. Although the formation is relatively neat, anyone with discerning eyes can tell that this is a new army. The actual combat experience is estimated to be very unbearable.

In the past two days, troops have come to Zenda from the rear from time to time, and everyone is no longer surprised, but what is surprising about this army is that there are actually a few tanks clearing the way in front of their team.

……

"Little Six, how does this Garland with the added scope feel?"

At this time, Liao Mingyu was still testing marksmanship with Zhang Liu in the camp, and now a lot of miscellaneous things have been unlocked in the system warehouse, including many types of rifle scopes.

For the two people with the best marksmanship in the whole division, it is natural to personally test the performance of various rifles as sniper rifles.

"Burst shooting is good. If the first shot misses, you can quickly make up the next shot, but it's not suitable for me."

Zhang Liu played with the Garland with a scope, and gave a very pertinent evaluation. He was not very interested in this kind of weapon with a strong rapid-fire capability but a little less accuracy.

"It's pretty good, I think it suits me quite well." Yangdanzi next to him immediately took over the conversation, and he felt that the mirrored Garland was a tailor-made weapon for him.

"This gun is a bit drifting over 300 meters, and its accuracy is not as good as 98k. Don't you just want to make up for the lack of marksmanship in order to make up for your lack of marksmanship, don't you think I don't know?"

Zhang Liu reprimanded him unceremoniously, and then rewarded Yang Danzi with a brain collapse: "I told you to study hard, don't think about silly things for a day, you know."

"Oh, I got it, Brother Zhang..." Yangdanzi held his head and complained incessantly, and being exposed by his master on the spot made Xiao Jiujiu blush to some extent.

Liao Mingyu smiled secretly, just when he was about to say something, suddenly a soldier ran over and reported that he had received a call from Wei Lihuang, asking him to go to the headquarters immediately.

Liao Mingyu did not dare to neglect Commander Wei's order, and took Ding Xiaoer out the door after saying hello.Then again, asking him to go at this moment is nothing more than a possibility, the people from the 200th division have arrived.

As expected, when he walked to the headquarters office, there was a majestic figure standing in front of Wei Lihuang, and said in a loud and forceful voice: "Mr. Wei! Gao Jiren, the commander of the 200th Division, is reporting to you!"
