The War of Resistance Begins with the Regiment Leader Chapter 329

Chapter 329: Linking three war zones? So enjoyable!

"Why is this Zhang Xianghua trying to play tricks on me?" Xue Yue, the Ninth Theater Command Headquarters, looked at the telegram just sent by the communications staff and said speechlessly.

His original intention was to ask the 12th Army Group in the Fourth Theater to help, but the result?

What kind of arms does this guy think he wants to buy?

Does he lack ammunition?

Not lacking at all, okay?

After the Third Battle of Changsha severely damaged the Japanese army, Shancheng's support for him greatly increased.

To put it bluntly, there are still military exploits, so naturally some resources will be allocated.

"Sir, I'm afraid you really need help from the Fourth War Zone." Major General Gao Shen Deng Weiren said slowly.

During the Third Battle of Changsha, Deng Weiren was promoted to Major General and Senior Staff Officer because of his outstanding achievements in assisting secretaries and planning the overall situation, and he also served as the Chief of the Operations Section.

It can be said that Deng Weiren is now the popular man in front of Xue Yue.

After hearing what his confidants said, Xue Yue was naturally curious.

"Why do you say that?"

"According to some information I have learned, the Fourth War Zone has some contact with the Sichuan Army in the south. Commander Zhang's Fourth Army is now fully equipped with beautiful weapons and equipment, and its combat effectiveness has been completely renewed. This is also his confidence for the Yangcheng Battle." Deng Weiren explained. .

Hearing this, Xue Yue's eyes flashed with light.

He didn't expect that the Fourth Army would undergo earth-shaking changes?

This did surprise him.

"Really?" Xue Yue asked.

"Of course it's true." Deng Weiren said with certainty.

Now Xue Yue couldn't sit still. He originally thought that Shancheng would give him a fine art corps, which would keep him busy for a while, and he even planned to teach the little devil a lesson in this battle in Changsha.

As a result, someone now told him that all members of the Fourth Army had changed into beautiful weapons and equipment.

Don't worry about scarcity but inequality.

This stark contrast naturally made it difficult for him to accept.

After calming down, Xue Yue lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Because of Yamashiro's attitude, these generals who joined later knew that only by keeping the soldiers in their hands would they be confident.

Now that there are channels for fine art equipment, he is naturally a little tempted.

"What do you think, we also buy some art equipment?"

Although he is not that rich, as a war zone commander, if he thinks about it, he will definitely find a way.

"I think so too. The Ninth War Zone seems to have no shortage of weapons and ammunition. In fact, the direct troops do. Some miscellaneous troops don't even have decent mortars."

"The gap between us and the Japanese army is still very big. If the commander can buy some weapons and equipment and distribute them to those miscellaneous soldiers, they will definitely be grateful to you." Deng Weiren's words made Xue Yue's eyes light up.

In fact, he also belonged to the Zhang faction of the Cantonese faction at the beginning, and later joined the Central Army.

But he knew exactly how important it was.

According to his understanding, Yamashiro had obtained the equipment of seven art masters.

The result?

So I allocated an art regiment to him, and I gave it to him because he won the third battle of Changsha.

Originally, he thought that after the reorganization of Shancheng was completed, these seven art masters would be used to counterattack the Japanese army.

The results look like it now!

That's not the case at all.

Obviously they wanted to preserve their strength and take the opportunity to annex those miscellaneous troops that had suffered heavy losses.

This is really a joke.

The Guizhou Army is an example.

The original several divisions of the Guizhou Army have now been cancelled, and the remaining ones have begun to be mixed with sand. It is obvious that they want to annex the opponent.

Since mountain cities have done this, Xue Yue must be more cautious.

He can't be so stupid as to destroy all his direct troops. Even if he has great achievements in battle, no one will pay attention to him.

Thinking of this, Xue Yue spoke.

"Then send someone to contact Zhang Fakui and ask him to find a way to help purchase a batch of weapons and equipment, especially heavy artillery. I heard that the Sichuan Army has a lot of heavy artillery. Last time, it suffered the loss of heavy artillery. This time I want to let him Have a nice drink, little devil.”

"Yes." Deng Weiren nodded quickly.

"The kid is going to launch the Fourth Battle of Changsha?" Cun Yunsheng, the governor-general of Hanoi, frowned slightly as he looked at the latest compiled intelligence.

The development of things was so sudden that Cun Yunsheng didn't even react.

Could it be that the Japanese base camp has sent additional troops to the Eleventh Army?

Logically speaking, in the last war, the Japanese Eleventh Army suffered heavy losses and has not yet recovered. Is this okay?

Either the Japanese army is reinforcing it.

Or the opponent continues to fight despite being injured.

No matter which one it is, it means that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has begun to decline.

Then the immigration plan you previously formulated can be expanded in scope.

Previously, due to railway issues, immigration had been carried out on a small scale, so so far, the effect has been average.

"The Ninth Theater also wants to purchase weapons and equipment?" Cun Yunsheng looked at the second telegram. It was signed by Zhang Fakui from the Fourth Theater, relaying the thoughts of the Ninth Theater on his behalf.

"Take a seat, do you agree?" Meng Fangliao asked doubtfully.

"Agree to their request, but there is one requirement. The railway in the Ninth War Zone will be needed to help transport the refugees." Cun Yunsheng put forward an additional condition.

"As long as they agree to this request, they agree to their request to purchase weapons."

"Yes." Meng Fanglia had no objection. He believed that as long as the other party was not a fool, he would definitely agree to their request.

After all, there are really not many people who can sell weapons and equipment so readily at this time.

Even for Stilwell, there are conditions attached.

"In addition, ask Zhang Fakui to send a telegram to the two officers Li Bai and ask them what they think about the suggestions I made recently." Cun Yunsheng suddenly remembered something and said quickly.

"yes."

He had asked Li Bai before, and the answer he received was to think about it.

Cun Yunsheng didn't say anything at that time. After all, it was normal to think about this kind of thing.

But now the Japanese Eleventh Army is about to launch the Fourth Battle of Changsha.

This is the best time to regain Jiangcheng.

The thought of three war zones linking up at the same time.

The corners of Cun Yunsheng's mouth raised slightly, and he couldn't suppress his smile.

"It's so enjoyable, it's so enjoyable, it's so **** enjoyable."

The three theaters together amount to at least hundreds of thousands of troops, or even a million-level battle.

Because the Japanese army has successively transferred troops from the Chinese battlefield, there are currently not many elite Japanese troops in the Chinese battlefield.

If there were to be a million-level battle, it would definitely make the Japanese army very uncomfortable.

It can even regain a large amount of lost territory.

The only trouble is that he needs to provide strong support.

Fortunately, during this period, military production capacity has begun to increase, not to mention supporting million-level battles.

Providing weapons, equipment and ammunition for 100,000 people should not be a big problem.

And as time goes by, production capacity continues to increase. In the final analysis, Cun Yunsheng can become richer with more wars, while the Japanese army becomes poorer with more wars, and its foundation is constantly being weakened.

"Sir, your plan is really huge. It involves three battlefields and involves millions of soldiers and civilians." Meng Fan couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm afraid no one dares to believe that this was actually promoted by you."

Hearing this, the corners of Cun Yunsheng's mouth rose even more.

"If you can praise, praise more, I like to hear it."

have to!

Seeing Cun Yunsheng's angry expression, Meng Fanlao shook his head and started drafting a telegram.

The perspective returned to Yangcheng, West Jiangxi, where the armored regiment, led by Zhao He, charged all the way.

Shred all the Japanese defense lines west of Xijiang.

The 59th Division behind them also closely followed the armored regiment.

The beaten and retreating Japanese army could only flee north, but they had to face the 90th Division and the 102nd Division on both wings.

Naturally, they would not give up this opportunity to beat the drowned dog.

"Captain Zhao, without your armored regiment, even if we pay a heavy price, we would not be able to reach the edge of the Xijiang River in such a short period of time." Tang Lian looked at the scenery of the Xijiang River in front of him and couldn't help but say.

This should be the closest the Fourth War Zone has come to Yangcheng in the past two years.

If he can't win Yangcheng this time, then he really can kill him with a piece of tofu.

"Captain Tang is being polite, but it is what should be done." Zhao He replied lightly, and then looked at the soldiers of the engineering battalion who were busy building a pontoon bridge.

The original wooden bridge over the Xijiang River could not bear the weight of the tanks at all.

So it must be reinforced before it can pass.

"Want to help?" Tang Lian was used to the other party's attitude, and it was normal for someone to be arrogant.

Fighting all the way here opened his eyes.

How could the battle be so big?

This is really too simple.

If only his infantry regiment had tanks too.

Of course, envy is envy, but he still knows himself.

"No need, Commander Tang, let your men rest first. After crossing the river, there will be a fierce siege, and you will need your infantry to fight bravely to kill the enemy." Zhao He shook his head.

"That's where the responsibility lies." Tang Lian nodded.

Hearing this, Zhao He nodded and then said to the communications soldier beside him.

"Send a telegram to Commander Shi and ask his artillery regiment to speed up. Their artillery support will be needed to cross the river later."

"yes."

On the other side, in Yangcheng, Lieutenant General Nakata Moritaka was listening to the report of his subordinates with a gloomy expression.

"Your Excellency, Commander, reporting from the front, the firepower of the Chinese on the West Jiangxi Front was too fierce, just in the battle just now."

"All the defensive positions on the west line of Xijiang are lost. About two brigades of imperial soldiers are in pieces. The remaining imperial troops are currently turning north."

The chief of staff read the report with an ugly expression.

He also didn't expect that the results of the battle would be so tragic.

It was indeed beyond his expectation.

"In addition, a large number of Chinese troops were discovered on the edge of the Xijiang River. They are setting up pontoon bridges, but the heavy artillery regiment of the Chinese army is suppressing our forward artillery fire. There is only one squadron of defenders on the edge of the Xijiang River. They are currently in danger. Please ask for tactical guidance. "The chief of staff took a breath and continued to report.

"Baga, are the tanks of the Sichuan Army so powerful?"

How long has it been?

Three infantry brigades, two lost?

The remaining one is still lingering.

This efficiency was beyond his expectation.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Moritaka's face looked extremely ugly.

"Deploy a brigade from the 13th Independent Infantry Brigade to immediately support the Xijiang defense line, and ask the Imperial Association Army to send an infantry regiment to reinforce Xijiang to resolutely block the attack of the Chinese Army in Xijiang. In addition, ask the 129th Division to immediately transfer When entering Xijiang, the Chinese army must not be allowed to approach Yangcheng," Lieutenant General Nakata Moritaka ordered while looking at the map.

"Hai, your Excellency, Commander, I will immediately issue combat orders." The chief of staff stood at attention and saluted.

In the Japanese position east of the Xijiang River, they had just fired at the Chinese Army engineer camp that was building a pontoon bridge on the river.

As a result, they were bombarded by heavy artillery fire from the opposite side.

The position that was originally intact was now completely destroyed by artillery fire. The squadron leader, Colonel Onomura, was reinforcing the defense line with more than a hundred people remaining.

But because the heavy artillery regiment's shelling was so violent, it was too difficult to repair.

When he saw the reinforcements arriving from the rear, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If there were no reinforcements, he would not be able to hold the line of defense by the time the tanks crossed the river.

There is a giant steel beast in front of you, and there are cannonballs above your head. How can you defend it?

When Colonel Yamashita, the Japanese captain who came to support saw this scene, he also looked at each other.

Because he had the same idea as Captain Onomura.

How to keep this?

Through the telescope, it is obvious that dozens of tanks are watching across the river.

Shells kept falling overhead.

The only way to delay the opponent's actions now is to blow up the pontoon bridge under construction.

But as soon as they show up to fight back, they will be greeted by more intense artillery fire.

"Baga Yalu, what about our artillery? Why didn't you suppress the enemy's artillery? So many imperial troops were all killed by the enemy's artillery." Major Yamashita replied angrily as he looked at the corpses blown to pieces by artillery shells around him.

Hearing this, Captain Onomura looked helpless.

And artillery support?

After the opponent's heavy artillery appeared, their field artillery never appeared again.

Just when he was about to open his mouth to explain, the whistling sound of shells reached his ears.

"Baga, take cover quickly." Upon hearing the familiar sound of artillery, Captain Onomura immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

Fortunately, after several shellings, these Japanese soldiers were very knowledgeable about dodging shells. Especially when they heard the sound of shells, they would immediately lie down on the ground, or use the dead soldiers next to them to put them on their bodies. Some of the Japanese have become immune.

After all, new recruits are afraid of artillery and veterans are afraid of stray bullets. Apart from panic at the beginning, these Japanese soldiers began to avoid the artillery shells.

After all, once you get familiar with it, that's it.

But the so-called attack on the floating bridge on the opposite side is basically impossible.

"Krupp's artillery level is getting better and better." Zhao He looked at the rising smoke on the other side of the river and affirmed.

Tang Lian next to him looked envious.

Once upon a time, had he ever thought that so many heavy artillery would be put into the battlefield?

Before this, every time we fought, it would be good to have dozens of artillery shells to support us.

The rest relied on their **** courage to fight the Japanese army.

But now it is the Japanese troops who are being bombed. This feeling of changing the situation is really refreshing.

"Report, regimental seat, report from the engineer battalion. The pontoon bridge construction can be completed in half an hour at most. Please prepare the armored regiment." At this time, the communications soldier came over and reported quickly.

"Got it, order the whole group to prepare for battle." Zhao He nodded, and then looked at Tang Lian.

"Don't worry, my brothers have rested long ago." Tang Lian knew what he meant and responded immediately.

Take a break and update the new book again! I feel much better today, but I don't know why I woke up with a splitting headache and haven't eaten dinner yet! Slow down first!
