Invincible from the sword

Chapter 284 The Japanese Army Are Really Insidious

The old man in Shancheng immediately ordered that the expeditionary force return to the country immediately and assemble in the area around Shancheng.

Then prepare to expand the army.

And Zhang Lei's Temporary Regiment, according to the order of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army Headquarters, is also preparing to return to Shanxi.

For this force, the Shanxi headquarters has deep considerations.

This is a very powerful army. If this army is used as the backbone, it will be expanded ten times, and it will still be an elite army with very powerful combat effectiveness.

Although the Temporary Regiment only has [-] troops, from commanders to ordinary soldiers, everyone is a treasure.

The idea of ​​​​the headquarters is to split the temporary group.

On the one hand, this can quickly expand the army.

On the other hand, it can also dispel the doubts of the old man in Shancheng.

After all, the combat power of the temporary regiment is too strong.

If he just went back to China directly, the old man in Shancheng would probably go crazy.

At that time, the attention of the old man in Shancheng will definitely be here.

In that case, it would not be good news for the temporary group.

At that time, the old man in Shancheng will deliberately engage in friction, so how can he resist Japan?

So the Shanxi headquarters sent a telegram to Zhang Lei, asking Zhang Lei to reorganize the temporary regiment on the spot.

Then go back home.

According to the order of the Shanxi headquarters, the temporary regiment was temporarily split into five regiments.

The second battalion of the first regiment was temporarily reorganized into the second regiment of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army.

The third battalion of the first regiment was temporarily reorganized into the third regiment of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army.

The artillery battalion of the first regiment was temporarily reorganized into the First Artillery Regiment of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army.

A tank battalion was temporarily reorganized into the First Tank Regiment of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army.

After the temporary regiment was reorganized, there was only one battalion left.

This is in consideration of Zhang Lei's suggestion.

Regarding the splitting of the temporary regiment at the headquarters, Zhang Lei agreed in principle.

After all, just like the headquarters said, the temporary group is a bit too eye-catching.

In this case, it will arouse the suspicion of the old man in Shancheng.

This is not a good thing.

But in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the temporary regiment, it is necessary to leave a battalion.

In the entire temporary regiment, the first battalion has the strongest combat effectiveness.

The most troops and the strongest weapons and equipment.

Zhang Lei originally wanted to form the first battalion into a heavy synthetic battalion.

Now it seems that it is enough to directly form the temporary regiment into a heavy synthetic regiment.

This idea was supported by the headquarters.

After all, the Eighth Route Army also needs to grow stronger.

We can't stay at the stage of millet plus rifle.

In this case, it will not work at all.

In order to realize Zhang Lei's idea, when the regiment was temporarily split, the headquarters asked the tank battalion and the artillery battalion to retain a company's equipment and personnel.

In this case, the temporary regiment can still form three infantry battalions, a tank battalion and an artillery battalion.

After the split, the Temporary Regiment also has 2000 troops.

There are almost fifty tanks in total.

There are also a lot of artillery, with four 75mm howitzers and eight [-]mm field guns.

With such firepower, it is no problem to deal with a brigade of the Japanese army.

Regarding the appointment of the commander after the split, the headquarters also issued a statement.

Appoint Li Yunlong as the temporary head of the second regiment.

Appoint Kong Jie as the temporary head of the third regiment.

Zhou Weiguo was appointed as the head of the First Tank Regiment.

Appoint Yang Lihua as head of the First Artillery Regiment.

Zhang Lei is still the head of the temporary regiment.

The new temporary roster of cadres is:

Zhao Gang is the political commissar of the temporary regiment.

Chu Yunfei is the deputy head of the temporary regiment.

Zhang Dabiao is the chief of staff of the temporary regiment.

Li Daben is the battalion commander of the temporary regiment.

Chen San is the commander of the second battalion of the first regiment.

Shen Quan is the commander of the third battalion of the temporary regiment.

Xu Hu is the commander of the tank battalion.

Sun Ming is the battalion commander of the artillery battalion.

After the reorganization of the troops, Zhao Gang burst into tears.

As the political commissar of the temporary regiment, Zhao Gang had a long-term vision.

He knew it very well.

For a while now, he was targeted by the old man in Shancheng.

In the future, if there is any big war, as long as the troops of the Eighth Route Army are mobilized, the temporary regiment will definitely not be able to avoid it.

The reason why the Shanxi headquarters split up the temporary group was also to leave some family property for the temporary group.

If there were no accidents, he estimated that he would be separated from Li Yunlong and the others.

Before the troops set off, Zhang Lei and Li Yunlong met at the regiment headquarters.

Zhang Lei analyzed the situation so far: "According to the current situation, the overall combat effectiveness of the Japanese army should not be underestimated.

Although we have achieved victories in Changsha and Myanmar, we still cannot be careless.

The purpose of the Japanese attack was, on the one hand, to mobilize Myanmar's food resources.

On the other hand, it is to cut off the Burma Road.

As long as the Burma Road is cut off, the aid from the lighthouse country will be completely cut off.

From this aspect, it shows that the Japanese army is still determined to win the East.

But now the Japanese army has lost a total of six divisions in Burma.

This made the Japanese army stop focusing on Burma in a short period of time.

However, in order to achieve the strategic goal of occupying the southwest and threatening the mountain city, the island country.

We will definitely organize our forces to attack the southwest again.

I estimate that the Japanese army is most likely to attack Changsha.

Although the Japanese army now occupies a large area of ​​​​Southeast Asia and South Asia, it is because the scope is too large.

Not ideal defensively.

Moreover, several months have passed since the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor.

The Lighthouse Country will definitely fight back.

At that time, in order to prevent the Japanese army from increasing its troops in Southeast Asia, I estimate that the wheelchair Luo of the Lighthouse Country will definitely strengthen its support for the old man's troops in Shancheng.

And the island nation is not stupid.

Now the island countries are fighting on multiple fronts, which has brought tremendous pressure to their homeland.

The base camp of the island country will definitely adjust its policy again.

Find a way to make the old man in Shancheng surrender.

Therefore, the Japanese army is very likely to organize its forces again to attack Changsha.

Thus forcing the old man in Shancheng to surrender.

Only in this way is the most beneficial to their island country. "

Attack Changsha again?

When Zhang Lei said this, Zhao Gang and the others were all taken aback.

This Japanese army is quite insidious.

The last time they attacked Changsha, Neiji Okamura's No. 11 Army suffered heavy losses.

The cabinets of the islands that were hit were reorganized.

Come again now?
is it possible?
In Zhao Gang's view, is the island country a little impatient?

After following Zhang Lei for a long time, Zhao Gang's views on the international situation have also become very discerning.

He said to Zhang Lei: "Leader, now the island country has occupied Southeast Asia.

The lighthouses that were fought were retreating steadily.

From the current point of view, the lighthouse country's military strength in Southeast Asia is seriously insufficient.

I think that in order to defend the place they occupied, apart from continuing to recruit soldiers from the mainland to the south, the island country will definitely draw troops from the east again.

Is it possible for the Japanese army to attack Changsha at this time? "

Although the island country has a large population, the number of people eligible for conscription in the island country has decreased dramatically since the war.

In today's island countries, those who can fight have basically been pulled to the battlefield.

When recruiting soldiers, they are either older or younger.

As for the combat effectiveness, it has dropped greatly.

It is simply incomparable with the original island nation's troops.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Gang feels that the island country is likely to change its strategy.

More use of diplomatic means to solve problems.

Zhang Lei nodded: "Attacking Changsha is almost certain.

Commissar, I understand what you think.

The island nation is seriously short of troops.

The base camp of the island country has realized that it is difficult to achieve their goals with a purely military attack.

And the island nation has just lost six divisions in Burma.

This is a huge blow to them.

Therefore, the island country should slightly adjust the entire strategy.

Find a way to secretly contact the old man in Shancheng.

It would definitely be the best if one could subdue others without fighting.

However, from the perspective of the base camp of the island country, it is still necessary to put the necessary pressure on the old man in Shancheng.

Moreover, the Japanese army was beaten to shit in Burma, and they also needed a victory to boost the morale of the Japanese army.

And Changsha is the most suitable choice. "

The island country and the old man in the mountain city want to contact in secret! ? ?

Hearing what Zhang Lei said, Zhao Gang's eyes widened.

What the hell!

This old man in the mountain city, wouldn't he also want to learn from traitor Wang? ?

If this is the case, then the entire situation of the Anti-Japanese War will change drastically.

Zhao Gang stuttered: "Head, do you think that the old man in Shancheng will have secret contact with the island country?"

Zhang Lei nodded: "Contact is certain.

However, the old man Shancheng adopted a delaying tactic.

As the nominal leader, the old man Shancheng's bones are still very hard.

Absolutely will not surrender the island country.

After all, he couldn't bear the name of this eternal sinner.

I dare not bear it either.

Moreover, the old man in Shancheng still has political vision.

Now the lighthouse country has joined the battle against the island country.

Although the beaten ones retreated steadily, this was all temporary.

In terms of military strength, industrial base and resource reserves, the lighthouse country is simply incomparable to the island country.

So defeating the island nation is only a matter of time.

It is impossible to ask the old man in Shancheng to surrender now.

However, using negotiations to delay time, on the one hand, can buy time for Tiger Cub's Ninth War Zone to deploy.

On the other hand, it will also deal a huge blow to Wang Hanjian.

Although the traitor Wang has surrendered to the island country.

Under his hands, many traitors have also gathered.

But it won't work in the end, and it will not meet the original expectations of the island country.

Although Wang Hanjian's defection to the island country had a negative impact on the entire situation of the Anti-Japanese War, but generally speaking, the impact was not significant.

To some extent, it aroused greater determination to resist Japan.

Under such circumstances, if the old man in Shancheng agrees to negotiate with the island country, the traitor Wang's status in the island country will immediately plummet.

As long as the negotiation drags on for a month or two, those little ghosts under Wang Han's hands will be panicked.

It is even possible to betray the traitor Wang. "

It turned out to be like this...

Zhao Gang smacked his lips.

Understood.

This leader is the leader, and what he sees is thorough.

Chu Yunfei next to him was dumbfounded.

Why didn't he think of it?

As a top student who graduated from Whampoa, Chu Yunfei always thought he was okay.

These days, not to mention graduating from Whampoa, as long as you know a few words, you are considered a scholar.

It's all baby.

So Chu Yunfei has always felt that he is a dragon and a phoenix in the world.

But now it seems that I am still far behind!

　Thank you book friend Chuxia Liming for your reward! !
