Bailuyuan, I am Bai Xiaowen

Chapter 149 Others
This battle captured Nantianmen.

Almost completely wiped out the Takeuchi Regiment.

Killed more than 1 little devils.

Bai Xiaowen lost 2000 people.

There are about a thousand more.

It was a big loss, but it was also a big victory.

Yu Division's men began to garrison at Nantianmen to secure the recovered border.

It was a big win.

What so many teams had not accomplished before when they arrived on the other side was finally accomplished now.

The battle report was sent to the military headquarters.

At this time, Yu Xiaoqing was even more energetic.

There is no living Takeuchi, only corpses.

Yu Xiaoqing held this colonel's saber. This was the first colonel's saber he had held. He thought that sooner or later he would get a general's saber.

Although he won a great victory, he still felt quite guilty in his heart.

After all, they agreed to attack Nantianmen within four hours on the first day, and it dragged on until the fifth day. Fortunately, they finally made up their minds, otherwise they would probably have been dragged down further.

A banquet was arranged at Nantianmen.

This big victory is a very happy thing no matter what.

The people in the tree fort thought that the attack took five days because the superiors had already discussed it.

Bai Xiaowen was still thinking about whether all his people would have to surrender here if Yu Xiaoqing didn't attack.

But when that time comes, he may release all his spatial abilities.

It doesn't matter that much.

Many people died, and even more were corpses of Japanese soldiers.

A table was set up on the mountain for a long time.

"Bai Tuanzuo, I can win this battle because you are the first to do it. Come to the other side and capture the Nantianmen. This is my long-cherished wish. Now it has finally come true. I have to thank you."

Yu Xiaoqing looked at Bai Xiaowen with evasive eyes, and there was a sense of guilt in her eyes.

There are only one-third of the people in the tree fort.

Everyone is very tired.

Lasted for five days.

The Japanese continued to attack.

At the height of the attack, 3000 to [-] people were charged.

Fortunately, the tree fort's defense design is very scientific.

Even dozens of times the number of little devils did not break down the defense.

Started drinking.

Yu Xiaoqing touched Takeuchi's Sakan sword from time to time.

Now that the war has come to an end, his affairs are not over yet.

This time he was disobedient.

However, military orders came immediately.

I don’t know if his actions this time are in line with Shangfeng.

As long as he wins, he doesn't think about what happens next.

Stayed here for a while.

The military department came to commend him.

Mainly a reward for Yu Xiaoqing.

Directly upgraded by half a level.

This is amazing.

Mainly relying on the operation of the Yu family.

When Yu Xiaoqing came here, the greater purpose was to get gold plating.

If you have good experience, you will be promoted directly.

Apart from Yu Xiaoqing's reward, there is nothing else.

The people in the independent group were very angry.

"We have lost so many brothers, and there is no sign from the superiors? Our leader even directly joined the death squad. Do you think the superiors have not seen such a great contribution?"

"I can't stand it if you don't say anything."

The third battalion commander went directly to Yu Xiaoqing and asked him what he meant.

Yu Xiaoqing's eyes became even more evasive.

Still speaking righteously.

"The reports I gave to the military headquarters were all truthful. The first contributions were made by Commander Bai and Commander Long."

The superiors also gave me some rewards. Spirituality is more important than material things, and there are not many actual rewards at all.

This made Yu Xiaoqing a little confused.

On the contrary, he disobeyed and was promoted.

Logically speaking, Shang Feng would be very angry because he did not strictly follow their requirements.

Not only would there be no punishment, but he would also be promoted, which was a result he had never expected.

But other people who should be rewarded are not.

I wonder if it was because I disobeyed the order, and instead of punishing myself, I placed the blame on others.

It is common for the national army to grab credit.

There are still many shortcomings.

The most important thing is to abandon weapons on the battlefield. The Chinese army does not pay much attention to the weapons they rely on to kill the enemy. Once they escape, they regard them as a burden and often abandon them along the way.

Previously, many soldiers on the other side of the river had no weapons and had abandoned themselves while fleeing for their lives.

There is also the practice of reselling weapons. Soldiers of the national army widely sell guns to civilians.

Morale is usually not good either.

Many of them come here to catch young men.

Long Wenwen's Sichuan Army Corps is like this, with many strong men.

Soldiers are a necessary condition for the existence of an army. The quantity and quality of soldiers directly determine the combat capability of the army.

According to the provisions of the conscription method, candidates are drawn by lot, so in theory, adult men decide whether to serve in the army by luck. This method is a relatively fair method of conscription.

But the reality is not like this. Due to fraud and incompetence of local agencies, it is actually impossible to recruit soldiers fairly according to the lottery method. Rich people rarely win the lottery, and even if they win the lottery, they can use money or other methods to get out of the service.Therefore, it is often poor farmers who end up serving as soldiers.

Nowadays usually no one wants to be a soldier.

Once you join the army, it will be difficult to go back, and you will most likely have to wait until the war is over.

Many teams also have a bad reputation, and people from well-off families usually don't join the military.

As for future generations, there are requirements for becoming a soldier, and you may not be able to become one.

Lotteries were held in various places, and the able-bodied men themselves came directly to draw lots. However, the winners were all poor people, not a single son of the landlords and gentry. It was very obvious that someone was secretly manipulating the matter.The masses were indignant and most of the lottery winners fled.When the call came, no one answered.

Since military service is unfair, ordinary people are naturally unwilling to serve as soldiers and avoid it one after another.So the conscription system switched to indirect lottery, keeping the winners secret, and taking them away in a surprise attack when the time was right.

Many of the Sichuan Army Corps used this method.

During the drawing of lots, the baojia chief assigned to the young man would draw the lots on his behalf, and the name of the winner would be kept secret. On the eve of the call, the baojia chief would lead his men to the home of the young man who won the lottery, and surprise arrest the young man and bring him to the camp.

This is to catch the young man.On the way to escort young men, if there is a vacancy, people will even be picked up on the road to replace them.

Sometimes they would even surround the market and seize the farmers going to the market one by one as young men.

These practices make people panic, and adult men avoid them one after another. Generally, only the old, weak, women and children are seen among the people.

Under normal circumstances, women are rarely seen, but when the men come to catch young men, there are very few men.

Once young children from working families are taken to be young men, it means death.Just like Long Wenwen's Sichuan Army Corps, it is called the cannon fodder regiment.Those children from poor families, in addition to fleeing to other places, even went so far as to mutilate their own limbs and chop off their index fingers so that they could no longer shoot.

After the young man was captured, his tragic fate was far from over. The local government still had to escort the young man to the army.In order to prevent escape during the journey, they are often tied up with ropes, shaped like prisoners.The treatment is similar to that of prisoners.

The journey was long and supplies were insufficient, so many young men died in large numbers.

Veterans often take on the task of monitoring new recruits.

Any recruits who escaped and were recaptured were immediately shot. They were also stipulated that recruits were not allowed to run around and were not allowed to ask for leave. Veterans were mobilized to strictly monitor the recruits.

In addition to wooing veterans, officers use high-pressure measures against ordinary soldiers to create an atmosphere of terror in order to control the troops.When a strong man first joins the army, he will receive a killing blow.

The national army's field combat capabilities are weak, and its commanders have weak control over the troops. If they are suddenly attacked by the People's Liberation Army, they will often fall into chaos and be quickly divided and surrounded by the People's Liberation Army, leading to a major defeat.

The offensive performance was acceptable.

There is a certain amount of preparation time when organizing an offensive war, and a certain degree of control over the actions of the troops.

When launching an attack, it is often the time when its firepower and troops have a certain advantage.

Casualties in offensive battles were high, so it was unlikely that demoralized recruits could be expected to fight bravely and fearlessly in the front lines.The national army's approach is usually to form death squads composed of determined veterans and grassroots officers, who serve as the vanguard to make breakthroughs and guide subsequent troops to attack.

The defensive battle is okay, the preparation is the most complete, and it can defend in depth, set up a supervising team, and there is no phenomenon of losing control of the troops.

Use terrain and set up fortifications to limit the opponent's firepower and charge.

In a defensive battle, it is not difficult to judge the enemy's movement direction, and there is a certain reaction time after the battle, so the position can be strengthened in a targeted manner to achieve static braking.

In order to save their lives in defensive battles, ordinary soldiers tend to have higher fighting will.

For example, this time the death squads, the tree fort, and the flower in the center are the most typical defensive battles.

The military leaders all like micro-management.

Indiscriminate issuance of warrants.

The deployment of regiments and battalions is often decided directly, artificially causing confusion in command.

The commander of the army might as well come and ask for instructions on everything, or say after failure that he was acting under orders.As a result, the national army lost its initiative when fighting, and its actions became slower and slower.

Even Yu Xiaoqing was infected and became indecisive.

The two battalion commanders returned to the regiment headquarters angrily.

"Commander, this soldier is so miserable. How many of our brothers died in the battle at Nantianmen. All the commendations from the military department were given to Yu Xiaoqing's main regiment. Two thousand of the 3000-man team died, and they were all buried in the border."

Stealing credit happens from time to time.

Prepare to pack up and head north.

Nantianmen was recaptured and a defense line was built, and the rest of the matter was much better.

Started to repair the team.

The Independent Regiment often disobeys orders.

Bai Xiaowen was dismissed from his position for more than ten years.

Transfer to other places.

But Bai Xiaowen never paid attention.

All his soldiers are recruited one by one.

All supplies are for your own use, even if it is a private army.

Don't listen to other people.

In addition, Bai Xiaowen also gave some benefits and money to the superiors. Basically, the superiors did not pay much attention to Bai Xiaowen.

Arrangements were made for people to go north.

Prepare to go back to the northwest.

From south to north, the journey is long.

It is inevitable to end up in enemy-occupied territory.

Generally, they are annihilated directly, and the little devils with a larger team will go around.

I could have gone back earlier, but it took me two months to get to Shanxi, which is right next door to Shaanxi.

Many areas in the north were conquered.

Only the little devils in Shaanxi are not allowed to advance even an inch.

The Japanese also knew the importance of Chang'an.

However, the Tongguan pass and the iron-blooded solitary pass blocked the Japanese advance. After seven years of hard work, the Japanese army could not break through and invade the Guanzhong Plain.

Bai Xiaowen's army also gained a reputation in Tongguan.

If the Japanese army occupied Guanzhong, the balance in the strategic stalemate stage of the War of Resistance would likely be broken.

The Japanese army never gave up their attempt to cross the Yellow River and march into Guanzhong.

But it has not been successful.

It has been almost four years since the war began in [-]. All aircraft, tanks and everything else have been used, but they have still been unable to take a step beyond the Tongguan defense line, let alone covet the fertile soil in Guanzhong.

Chang'an has great strategic value to the Japanese army.To capture Chang'an, the advance can be made from Chang'an as the starting base, heading north to the Eighth Route Army base camp in northern Shaanxi, and south to attack Sichuan to force the people to surrender; when retreating, the two main battlefields in North China and Northwest China can be integrated into one, opening up the entire continental occupation area.Chang'an area is very important.

The Yellow River, like the Nu River, is also naturally dangerous.

Even if there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of little devils, it will be difficult to get past them.

Hu Zong, the commander of Chang'an's Eighth War Zone, could not stay in Tongguan and remained motionless as a mountain. During the Anti-Japanese War, he vowed not to leave Tongguan.And Yan Laoxi next to him, everyone has his own ideas and wants to preserve his strength.

It's all the same operation, including the Yu family army in Mangda.

Hu Zongnan is known as the King of the Northwest. He has a strong army, hundreds of thousands of well-equipped troops, and has convenient mountains and rivers.

The bandits of ten years ago are different from the bandits of today.

Many bandits are now fighting the war.

They are all out guarding the Yellow River.

Just as the principal said, no matter how old or young, no matter whether the land is north or south, everyone has the duty to resist the enemy and defend the land.

If Guanzhong is lost, Hanzhong will be difficult to hold; if Hanzhong is lost, Sichuan and Shu will be unable to support it.Guanzhong became a battleground for both sides.

There is only one entrance to the Guanzhong area where Chang'an is located, and that is Tongguan. Although the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain fought by the Central Army was a bit miserable at that time, Tongguan was at least defended.

What the Japanese want to do is to completely occupy the Guanzhong area. If Tongguan cannot be captured and the Japanese large-scale troops cannot enter the Guanzhong area and can only enter along the trails, it is very likely that the Central Army will form a closed-door attack on dogs. potential.

The Central Army is considered the strongest, but in the fight against the Japs, one regiment defeated two divisions of the Central Army.

There were also three divisions at Nantianmen, and there was also a regiment on the opposite side. If it weren't for Long Wenwen's suicidal and dangerous move, the fight would have been very difficult.

The little devils also have limited troops, the battle line is stretched, and their troops are scattered.

Going all the way north, we arrived at Yan Laoxi's territory.

The roar of artillery fire was heard.

"Captain, there are our people in front."

"Brother who is?"

"Jinsui Army, Colonel Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th Regiment."

"No. 30 Fourth Group Army, Bai Xiaowen, leader of the independent regiment. What's going on up front? Is any unit involved with the Japanese again?"

"I got intelligence in the morning. The Eighth Route Division and the field hospital were surrounded by Japanese soldiers. They were covered and moved. The 386th Brigade and the Bantian Regiment of the [-]th Brigade launched a decisive battle. The Eighth Route Army launched more than a dozen attacks and started a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese soldiers. .This is the direction ahead.

Among them, the Bantian Regiment is known as the elite unit of the Japanese Army in North China. In the Battle of Xinkou, a regiment of the Bantian Regiment defeated two divisions of the Central Army. Their combat effectiveness was extraordinary. "
