Chapter 372: To the Whole State (Page 1/1)

In this move, the new 22nd Division marched to Dong'an, Hunan, and the 200th Division advanced to Lingling, Hunan, both of which were at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi, and the ultimate goal of the Fifth Army was to march to Guangxi.

It took 10 days for the new 22nd Division to travel from Xiangtan to Dong'an.

It was moved from Dong'an to Quanzhou, Guangxi, which was very close, and was separated from the territory of Hunan.

Zhang Wei's teaching brigade and the new 22nd Division completed an "inter-provincial march." ”

The troops directly under the Fifth Army marched with cars, tanks, and a large number of mules and horses, and the infantry divisions marched only by foot planks and feet.

The main march section is Xiangtan to Dong'an, Xiangtan to Dong'an is about 300 kilometers, for the military department of the car is a small meaning, can be replaced by a foot board, that is nearly ten days of marching.

The cars attached to the army cannot be divided into infantry divisions, and the artillery, tanks, ordnance, and light and heavy weapons and ammunition of the troops directly under the army have to be pulled by cars.

The troops used a regular march state in a non-combat state, and the new 22nd Division had many recruits, and it was the first large-scale march to move defenses, and the marching speed could not be too fast.

It took ten days to walk from Xiangtan to Dong'an, which was basically a march speed of ten kilometers per day.

The infantry regiments in the back were called grinding, and the officers had to be cautious, and every time they walked for half a day, the whole division had to stop on the march and rest for two hours, and each regiment counted the number of people to check whether anyone was missing, and at the same time let the troops rest and give the recruits time to rest.

The officers are all wary of the long march, but it is also a kind of training for the troops, especially the new troops.

The soldiers of the teaching brigade did not feel much about this kind of long march, and the rigorous training of the brigade allowed them to fully adapt to this kind of march.

The brigade preparation march is much more comfortable than the combat preparation march, there are no devils in Hunan, Zhang Wei asked the brigade to march in the form of brigade preparation, which is still more comfortable for the soldiers.

On the way from Xiangtan to Dong'an, because Qiu Maniac was keeping an eye on him, the troops did not make a big mess, but there were still a lot of small situations.

The section from Dong'an to Quanzhou, Guangxi is much more comfortable, and it will be in place after a day's walk.

During the whole march, there is no need to say much, and the teaching brigade spends most of its time in the process of marching, resting, and marching, which is safe and somewhat boring.

However, there are accidents, related to deserters, and the biggest movement occurred on the road to Dong'an.

When the teaching brigade was about to arrive in Dong'an, it encountered more than a dozen armed skirmishers on the road, and the first squadron was in front at that time, and these stragglers were the first to be spotted.

The first squadron in the front of the platoon spotted the situation and fired warning shots from rifles, startling the whole brigade.

The stragglers who collided with each other wore steel helmets, a full set of infantry weapons and equipment in their hands, and a light machine gun, and they directly took a look at the teaching team.

After colliding with each other, the two sides confronted each other for a while, Qiu Wei found that the situation troops, these people did not look like soldiers on a mission, and after consulting Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei ordered to arrest these suspicious soldiers in line with the principle of foolproof.

Zhang Wei learned of the situation, thinking of the civilian clothes of the Japanese army he was subjected to during the retreat stage of the Battle of Lanfeng, he did not hesitate to order the arrest of people, the Japanese army could dress up as ordinary people at that time, and now at this time, maybe they can dress up as the national army.

The first squadron surrounded and rushed to arrest people, there was no imaginary exchange of fire and confrontation, and after a squadron launched an attack, these stragglers did not even do a decent resistance, and directly lost their guns and surrendered.

Zhang Wei interrogated these people and checked their military uniforms and equipment, but the result seemed that he had thought too much, these people were not Japanese spies, they were all serious Chinese, authentic Chinese soldiers.

It's a pity that it's a deserter.

There were a total of 16 of these deserters caught, and the clothes showed that these people belonged to the 200th Division, which arrived earlier than the new 22nd Division, and their destination was Lingling.

These people ran out after the 200th Division arrived at Lingling, led by a veteran squad leader, and the rest were all new soldiers.

Although this squad leader was a veteran, after the 200th Division arrived at the Guangxi border, he slowly started to escape, so he abducted more than a dozen recruits, fled collectively with equipment, and successfully escaped while taking advantage of the chaos.

It's just unlucky, I ran all the way to the direction of Dong'an and bumped into the teaching brigade.

It's not strange that this kind of thing happens, deserters are commonplace, and running away is not only the preserve of recruits, but there are also many cases of deserters among veterans.

When the 200th Division arrived at Lingling, they immediately took action, not only taking their guns, but also stealing some weapons and ammunition. ”

If it hadn't been for the bad luck of bumping into the new 22nd Division, it is estimated that these people would have run away long ago.

After arresting these deserters, Zhang Wei reported the people and the situation to the division headquarters when the whole division was resting.

After arresting deserters from other units, Deputy Division Commander Liao of the division headquarters did not dare to slack off, and this also involved friendly and neighboring departments.

Deputy Division Commander Liao urgently telegraphed with Division Commander Dai of the 200th Division.

After verifying the situation, after communicating with the 200th Division, the 200th Division confirmed that a sergeant squad leader and more than a dozen recruits of the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 599th Regiment had escaped with weapons and suddenly disappeared when they arrived at Lingling, and had stolen a batch of 79th rifle bullets and grenades, as well as a light machine gun.

After checking the names of the deserters, it was undoubtedly confirmed that the deserters who were caught were from the 599th Regiment of the 200th Division.

As for how to deal with these people, after negotiating with the 200th Division, the 200th Division said that the captured sergeant squad leader asked the friendly troops to be shot on the spot, and the leader must die.

This sergeant squad leader was a veteran, and he took the lead in escaping, and if he swept away a squad of recruits and fled, the 200th Division would inevitably be severely punished.

The rest of the escaped recruits were escorted by the New 22nd Division for the time being, and then handed over to the 200th Division after they were in Jeonju.

In fact, the friendly troops are not easy to deal with with the new 22nd Division, but the commander of the 200th Division, Dai, sent a telegram over, and with the permission of the commander of the friendly troops, it will be easy to handle.

When the sergeant squad leader who took the lead in escaping heard the news of the execution, he lost his prestige.

In front of Zhang Wei, he was pulled out by the soldiers of the special service company of the new 22nd Division, and the crying father and mother were killed by a shot, and his body was abandoned in the wilderness.

This incident of desertion and shooting was deliberately reported to the whole division by the division, which played a deterrent role for people with wrong minds.

That meant that the lives of friendly deserters were used to warn the restless elements in the new 22nd Division.

After dealing with the deserters, he instructed the brigade and the whole division to continue the march, speed up the advance, rest for a while in Dong'an, and the whole division marched to Quanzhou, Guangxi.

Jeonju is the staging area of the Fifth Army, and the inspection mentioned by Qiu Maniac will also be carried out in the vicinity of Jeonju.

After resting in Dong'an, the troops of the New 22nd Division marched in parallel with the 200th Division resting in Lingling and entered the territory of Guangxi.
