Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1829 The Second Brigade in the Encirclement

Calatrava on Negros Island, the temporary headquarters of the Second Expeditionary Army, after receiving a series of telegrams from Guangzhou, because it was related to the reorganization of the troops and the adjustment of related personnel, Guo Kui first summoned all officers above the brigade commander level He came over for a briefing, and ordered Huang Hua to find a way to obtain the Japanese military intelligence requested by the headquarters.Then a series of orders were issued, requiring the Expedition Fifth Division (formerly the First Mountain Division) and the Expedition Sixth Division (the original Seventeenth Division—correspondingly, Xu Zhi's original Guerrilla First Division and Feng Lanshan's former Guerrilla No. The two divisions were renamed the Seventh Division of the Expedition and the Eighth Division of the Expedition) to choose their own assembly point and retreat from Kapatagan to Mindanao.After everyone dispersed, he asked Zhang Liang to secretly call Huang Hua and Guo Da over, and took out the secret telegram from the general headquarters about "division of land and division", circulated it to the two of them, and then burned it, saying : "Washington put pressure on the general headquarters and asked us to accept the command of MacArthur. The commander-in-chief and we thought of going together, and wanted to secretly establish a local armed force similar to the 'National Independence Army' in the local area, so we are fighting for land division. Shou--MacArthur is seeking a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the northeast of Mindanao, and I guess they will never win. So, in the end, it is estimated that they will have to ask us for help..."

"Commander, your words are really true. The commander-in-chief really wants to develop pro-my armed forces in the Philippines," Guo Da said.

Huang Hua asked: "The [-]th and [-]th divisions are retreating to Mindanao, what should we do? The Japanese army has captured Siaton and Sangboangui. If they attack along the way, we may be entangled." Can't get out."

Guo Kui shook his head and said: "There is no need to worry about this issue in a short time, Hatton's mixed fleet and Brereton's air force have not yet dispatched, and there should be a series of naval and air battles between the Japanese and the Americans. As for us, I don't think we can be idle, so let's take advantage of this time to pull up a political team. Xiao Huang, you are a scholar among us, and you will be responsible for this matter. What kind of resources do you need to do this? Just tell me. We try our best to form a pro-China government in the Philippines like the Commander-in-Chief.”

Huang Hua nodded in agreement, and left with Guo Da.After they left, Guo Kui took out the map, saw Labasong all the way from Zamboanga by the light of the flashlight, and gradually frowned.

After Huang Hua and Guo Da left, Zhang Liang, who was guarding outside, inspected the defense near the temporary headquarters again, and after confirming that there were no problems with the bright posts and dark posts, he went to the Great Wall light off-road vehicle used as the temporary headquarters. walked over.

He knocked on the car door outside, and Guo Kui's voice came from inside immediately: "Is it Xiao Zhang?"

"Yes!"

"Kaba—" the car door opened, Guo Kui said, "Come in!"

Ouyang Yun sent Zhang Liang to Guo Kui out of trust in Zhang Liang and hoped that he could guarantee Guo Kui's safety.And because Guo Kui is a master of martial arts, he doesn't think anyone can hurt him in close quarters, so he thinks that the commander-in-chief is deliberately cultivating Zhang Liang, so he entrusts him with important tasks, not only ordering him and the second regiment of the Jungle Special Warfare Brigade Headquarters Dashan was responsible for the daily security of the headquarters together, and promoted him to be his adjutant.

Because the Japanese army suddenly landed in Labazon, it can be said that the retreat of the Zamboanga defenders was blocked at once, so Guo Kui was very worried about whether the Xiao Anbao brigade could withdraw smoothly, and he was worried about this matter at this time.

Zhang Liang entered the car, closed the door first, took out the water bottle and took a sip, then glanced at the map in front of Guo Kui, and asked, "Commander, are you worried about the Second Brigade?"

Guo Kui turned off the flashlight, sat down on the flat seat, and replied: "Yes, if Xiao Anbao and the others retreat from the Eastern Front, they must pass through Ipil. Even if the Japanese army takes the main road, it will only take [-] to reach Ipil. Kilometers, now, they must have occupied Ipil. The Second Brigade has no heavy weapons and no friendly support, so it will be very difficult to break out of Ipil!"

"Commander, are you going to rest?"

"I'm not sleepy yet."

"Oh, can I have a look then?"

"Of course. Someone trusted by the commander-in-chief must have good strategic vision. Take a look and see if there is any good idea."

Zhang Liang smiled impressively, fumbled for the flashlight, unscrewed it, and lay down on the map to look at it.After about five minutes, he said, "Commander, I have a half-baked idea."

Guo Kui opened his eyes and asked with great interest, "Tell me."

"Why does the Second Brigade have to withdraw? There is a vast mountainous area between Zamboanga and Ipil, which is suitable for guerrilla warfare. Aren't Brigadier Xiao and the others mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare in the northwest? Although the Philippines is no better than China, I think , They will definitely have no problem persisting for ten and a half months. By that time, the main force of the Japanese army should have advanced deeply into Mindanao, and it will be much easier for them to break through at that time."

Guo Kui also used his brain too much today, so he didn't see this for a while.He touched his head when he heard the words, laughed and said: "I forgot this, yes, why did they have to withdraw? Xiao Zhang, not bad, you have a unique vision!"

"Hey, I made you laugh, Commander."

"Xiao Zhang, work harder, go to the staff headquarters, and ask them to send a secret message to Master Huang immediately—be quick, otherwise Xiao Anbao and the others might forcibly break through from Yipil with their legs and feet."

"Yes, I'm going right now!"

"By the way, the Second Brigade is now renamed Expedition No.14 Brigade, please pay attention to the wording!"

While Guo Kui was worrying about Xiao Anbao's brigade, Huang Haifu, the highest directly affiliated official of the ministry, was also worried about the 150th brigade.Originally, if the main force of the Expedition Fifth Division was still in Capatagan, because the distance from Capatagan to Ipil was only [-] kilometers, if they marched quickly, they would be able to arrive in one day and one night. He felt that the [-]th Brigade was caught in the Japanese army , They can also rush to the battlefield in time to rescue them.However, just after receiving the order, the headquarters asked them to withdraw further to the southeast, which meant that they would not be able to rescue the [-]th Brigade in time, which made him deeply worried about the fate of the [-]th Brigade. "MD, a brother from a brigade, you have survived the harsh environment in the Northwest. Are you going to bury your bones in this foreign country?" He was thinking angrily when the secret telegram dictated by Zhang Liang arrived. It suddenly dawned on me: Yes, why did the [-]th Brigade have to forcibly break through?The high-hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and he immediately ordered the staff to send a secret message to Xiao Anbao, telling them not to rush to retreat, but to fight guerrillas in the surrounding areas of Zamboanga, waiting for the best time to break through.

For the students of Expedition No. 14 Brigade, the secret telegram forwarded by the division headquarters was too timely. Ever since Xiao Anbao learned from the division headquarters that Labazon had been captured by the Japanese army, he was worried that Ipil’s route of retreat would be cut off by the Japanese army. He also ordered the troops to speed up their march, so when they received the secret message, they were only seven or eight kilometers away from Ipil.It is foreseeable that if they forcefully break through, even if they are not surrounded by the Japanese army, the casualties will definitely not be small.And if it is bitten by the Japanese army and dragged until dawn, it would be too dangerous for the Japanese army to have aviation support.

"Brothers, stop, turn back, and run away!" Xiao Anbao burned the secret electricity, heaved a sigh of relief, and ordered the whole army to turn southward, and soon, they disappeared into the night that was about to break dawn...
