Chapter 387: Life Is a Toss (Page 1/1)

The powerful forces of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army and the Taiwan Mixed Brigade approached the periphery of Nanning, and the surrounding Gui Army and local armed forces put up desperate resistance, but to no avail.

After judging by the Central Military Commission, the Japanese army's surprise attack on Guinan was a vain attempt to cut off the blood transfusion line in the rear, cut off the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, threaten the Yunnan-Burma Railway, further weaken the import channel of foreign supplies, and threaten the rear of South China.

Nanning was already in a precarious situation, and both Gui armies in Guangxi were crushed and could not be parried.

On the southern Guizhou side, there are only two armies of the Guangxi troops, and the rest are miscellaneous local armed forces and militia groups, and it is necessary to draw troops from other places and theaters.

The Air Force, the First Artillery, the Second Army, the Thirty-sixth Army, the Ninety-ninth Army, the Sixty-sixth Army of the Cantonese Army, and the Forty-sixth Army of the Gui Army were all ordered to reinforce Guinan.

Most of these reinforcements were troops of the Central Army, which were urgently transferred to Guangxi from Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, and other provinces.

The Japanese army landed with more than 30,000 troops, and in the face of such a corps, the Nationalist army needed troops several times their strength to deal with the Japanese army and fight them back.

Nanning sent emergency telegrams one after another, and the national army had to invest a large number of troops, and in the end, after comprehensive consideration, the Military Commission played a trump card in its hand.

The Military Commission ordered the entire Fifth Army, which had been stagnant in northern Hunan to reinforce southern Guizhou. The senior officers of the Fifth Army had long been prepared, and these days the troops had remained motionless in Hunan, and the telegrams in the military headquarters were one after another.

The senior officers were all paying attention to the war in southern Guinan, and when the Military Commission asked the Fifth Army to stop, the senior officers understood the reasoning and stopped the march, usually because they had other tasks.

This dispatch telegram from the Military Commission was expected by them a long time ago.

The order given by the Military Commission to the Fifth Army was to rush to Guinan as quickly as possible.

Since the Battle of Northern Hunan had come to an end, the Ninth Theater's transportation capacity and manpower had become rich, and the Fifth Army could take the nearest train allocated to the troops to rush to southern Guangxi, and the whole army would drive directly to Nanning to block the Japanese army.

He also demanded that the Ninth Theater give the Fifth Army the green light all the way, and that all train capacity should be given priority to the Fifth Army's equipment and personnel transportation to meet the needs of the Fifth Army.

As soon as the CMC's order arrived, the troops could only carry out the order, and the Fifth Army was still maintaining a marching posture in the direction of Hengshan in Hunan, and marching in the direction of Guangxi was exactly the opposite of the direction of Hunan, so it had to be adjusted.

Commander Du ordered the front team of the Fifth Army to change to the rear team, and the rear team to become the front team, and the last 200th Division became the vanguard force, and the whole army concentrated at the railway station near Hengshan, boarded the train, and transported it in the direction of Guinan, and transported heavy artillery, tanks, and all light and heavy equipment and personnel.

For the commanders of the military headquarters, this is a matter of mouth, but for the soldiers at the bottom, it is equivalent to walking back in the opposite direction, and the entire marching column has to turn, and the rear team of the last 200 divisions has become the front team, becoming the first, and the new 22nd division has become the last unit.

The teaching brigade learned the news that the whole army had changed the direction of the march, and Zhang Wei was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, because it was too damn toss.

But the order can only be followed, Zhang Wei thought about it with his brain, and dug up all kinds of memories, this time to reinforce Guinan, I am afraid that there will be a real vicious battle waiting for his teaching brigade, which is different from this reinforcement of Xiangbei, which cannot be seen or touched.

This time to reinforce Guinan, Zhang Wei can be 100% sure that this vicious battle will definitely happen.

But this change of marching columns, changing the direction of marching, is really not a small project, the whole brigade is to turn around on the spot, mules, horses, horse-drawn carts have to be adjusted, change the direction, the surrounding friendly troops are the same, you must wait until the surrounding troops are all turned, the whole division can advance, toss, is really toss.

Those mules, horses and livestock toss up like a chicken, fly and dog jump, life lies in tossing, Zhang Wei thought, this war is similar, hard work to run to Hunan, in a word, you have to go back to Guangxi to fight.

"Captain, the heavy fire squadron has completed its U-turn, and the carts of the heavy platoon will take a while." Qiu Wei ran to Zhang Wei and said, The most grinding thing about the teaching team is the heavy firepower squadron's heavy platoon.

"Okay, let them hurry up, the top is tight."

Qiu Wei wiped his sweat with a rare complaint on his face, and the teaching brigade was a divisional unit, and the speed and accuracy of information dissemination were very high, and many officers in the combat regiment did not know the destination after the transfer, while the entire teaching brigade knew that this trip was going to Guangxi.

"It's too much of a toss, go to Hunan, there is no battle, and now I have to toss to Guangxi, so far away, I think there is a chance that I will have to pounce again."

"No, absolutely not this time." Zhang Wei said with sharp eyes, Hunan is empty, Guinan's big battle, the Fifth Army will definitely not miss it, when the time comes, his own teaching brigade, as well as the military cadets who have been trained, will personally participate in this big battle.

After the Fifth Army received the order to return to Guangxi, the three divisions quickened their pace, completed preparations for the march in more than a day, and restarted on the road.

There is also the convenience of maneuvering to Guangxi this time, taking the train is much faster than walking, and there is a railway station near Hengshan, and the time to get to the station is not long.

After preparing for the march, the whole army spent a day marching to the railway station near Hengshan.

The battle in the Ninth Theater has come to an end, and the Japanese army attacking Hunan has become a retreat as a whole, and the Fifth Army has not caught the battle.

However, the area under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Theater was full of the atmosphere of the post-war period, and the railway station where the Fifth Army was carrying troops had just been reopened to traffic, and many buildings inside and outside the station had been blown down by bombs.

There are still several hundred wounded soldiers waiting to be transported in the station, all of whom were officers and men of various units who were wounded in the Battle of Northern Hunan Province.

The shipment of the Fifth Army was an urgent task, and the transportation of this batch of wounded soldiers could only be put on hold for a while, and the wounded soldiers were cared for by the caretakers and military doctors of various units, so that the Fifth Army could be transported to the troops for a while.

In the face of the military situation, the transportation plan of the wounded soldiers can only be pushed back.

The Fifth Army boarded and transported the troops directly under the 200th Division, the 1st Honorable Division, and the New 22nd Division in the order of succession, and the whole army went straight to the vicinity of Daoning.

The transportation of the Fifth Army took time, and before the troops arrived, the Japanese attacked the periphery of Nanning, and although they crushed a large number of Nationalist troops, the Nationalist Army also knew the status of Nanning, and constantly invested various units and local armed forces to engage the Japanese army.

The two sides fought fiercely, but unfortunately because of the problem of manpower and firepower, the national army only brought delays to the Japanese army, and failed to really hinder their footsteps.

The hope of the Central Military Commission lies in the main forces of the Central Army, which are about to be transferred to Guinan from various places, and the Fifth Army is undoubtedly the best and sharpest of these troops.

China and Japan are sharpening their knives and dispatching troops, and a real big war is about to begin.
