Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Eleventh Division of the Imperial Army
The weapon was sent down, but Yin Junshi couldn't be happy. It's not that the Japanese are stingy, they are all garbage, and the brand-new Type 38 rifle on the shoulders of the peasant army shows that the Japanese army gave them a good gun! However, although the things are good, the number is not so much, the peasant army is nearly 2,000 people, even if the devils are rich, they can't make up so many rifles for a while!
This Japanese army was the 11th Brigade of Miyashimoto, which occupied Que Mountain. On the frontal battlefield, Japanese planes and artillery were all in battle, and the plainclothes spies of the devils in the background were running around. Not only are the important military facilities of our army often spied on and destroyed by plainclothes agents of the Japanese army, but even the change of defense between various units of our army is often mastered by devils, and the assassination of front-line generals of our army even occurs from time to time.
The Japanese army fought in our country, and its grasp of the battlefield situation and the reaction speed of the troops were richer than that of our army's battlefield commanders, and the Japanese special forces contributed a lot to this.
After the devils captured the mountain, their secret service organs were naturally not willing to be lonely, and quickly dispatched a large number of special teams to the area around the mountain. Due to the existence of the reconnaissance unit of the 500th Army, the sabotage and infiltration of Tongbai by the devil special team have never been successful. However, the Peasant National Salvation Army, which had a huge momentum and wide influence, was noticed by the devil spies. However, due to Gao Quan's quick move, the devil special task force had not yet made a problem in the Peasant National Salvation Army, and this armed force, which was spontaneously organized by the local peasants, had been forced to move because its commander Niu Dabang was killed.
The Peasant National Salvation Army was not a cause for concern, but the 500 Army entrenched in Tongbai had always been a problem for the Japanese army. In particular, the 500th Army had inflicted heavy losses on a number of permanent Class A divisions and regiments that had always enjoyed a good reputation among the Japanese army, such as the Sixth Division, the Fourth Division, and the Third Division, and this could not but attract the attention of the commanders and brigade commanders of the Japanese divisions.
This time, the Japanese army's policy of the major operation was to open up the mainland communication line, that is, to carry out around the Jinghan railway line. The Japanese army wanted to occupy all the territory along the Jinghan Railway, and the devils wanted to make the main artery of the railway run through the whole line, and let the mineral materials from northern China be transported to the south by rail, so as to provide more logistical support for the victory of the Japanese army in the Pacific and South Asian theaters in the future.
This section of the mountain was defended by the 68th Army, but the current 68th Army is no longer Liu Ruming as the commander. Today's General Liu has been promoted to the commander of the group army, serving full-time as the commander-in-chief of the Second Group Army, and now serving as the commander of the 68th Army is Liu Ruming's younger brother Liu Ruzhen.
Although he was a compatriot, Liu Ruzhen did not have the determination and courage of his brother to fight to the death against the Japanese invaders, let alone Liu Ruming's superb battlefield command ability and flexible tactical means.
The withdrawal was withdrawn, but the 68th Army did not withdraw far, after all, the mountain is their defense area, if he really escapes from a foreign country, not only the war zone, but also the military committee accompanying the capital will not spare him!
Liu Ruming was the commander of the group army, and he did not allow the 68th Army to retreat far away. Queshan is a small county town, and it is not a big problem to cede to the Japanese, but it must not be far away, and the crime of escaping from the battle is not something that anyone can bear! Liu Ruming has dealt with devils a lot, he knows what is going on with the battle between the two armies, don't look at the fact that the devils have occupied the mountain now, and after a while, maybe the devils will withdraw by themselves, and at that time, they can liberate the mountain again without spending a single soldier.
With such a big tiger as the 68th Army watching, and then there is such a big piece of fat meat as the Peasant National Salvation Army hanging on the side, of course Major General Gongxia Wenfu of Queshan will not just guard a county town as his local tyrant. After the special task force reported the approximate location of the 68th Army, the commander of the Miyashita Brigade led the brigade army out of the mountain and killed it all the way to the west.
Major General Miyashita wanted to drive the 68th Army away, and by the way, see if he could absorb or kill the Peasant National Salvation Army. On the main road communication line, Queshan is a key position, if there is a 68th Army has been making trouble on the side, Queshan is not reliable after all. Therefore, the main target of this attack by the Miyashita Brigade, or rather a sweep, is actually Liu Ruzhen's 68th Army.
Even the commander of the Miyashita Brigade didn't expect that not far from the mountain, the 68th Army did not find it, but met the Peasant National Salvation Army halfway. What is especially surprising is that this peasant national salvation army actually came to surrender to him! After receiving the report of the commander of the vanguard force, Fumio Miyashita immediately decided to replenish the weapons of this surrendered army, and recruited them on the spot to become a member of the Imperial Cooperative Army!
The 68th Army did not find it, but heard about the traces of the 500th Army, and the commander of the Miyashita Brigade was even more surprised. Did the 500 Army finally leave Tongbai? Hey, this army that has humiliated the Imperial Army many times has finally met him! The man in his palace is finally going to show his face! The fish saw the bait and couldn't see the hook, and Miyashita, like those Japanese generals who had fought with Gao Quan, only saw the benefits and honor that killing the 500 troops could bring him, but he didn't expect the fate of being defeated and killed. Or maybe he thought about it once, but didn't take it seriously at all.
The 11th Brigade came out to fight, and they didn't have so much extra weapons and equipment. After handing over the spare 200 38 big covers, five crooked light machine guns and the corresponding bullets to Yin Zengqiang and Zhang Erfat, give them a few hundred sets of new military uniforms, and give him a sun flag to finish the matter. Tell Yin Zeng, your unit is now the 11th Division of the Imperial Allied Army, you are the division commander, Zhang Erpang is the deputy division commander of the Imperial Allied Army, as for the other officers, you will assign them yourself, and after the assignment is completed, I will give you the approval of the general!
Although Yin Zengqiang and Zhang Erpang are happy to become the Imperial Association Army as they wish, they are not interested in going to the battlefield, the reason why these two people are quite the Imperial Association Army is that they feel that after becoming the Imperial Association Army, they can get a high salary, and they can use this body to play prestige in front of the people, and be a prestige! But the two of them are not willing to go to the battlefield to fight at all, especially when the opponent is the 500 Army, these two people are even more reluctant, the 500 Army has left too much psychological shadow on these two! But Taijun said that let the 11th Division of the Imperial Allied Army serve as the vanguard of the attack force, how dare they disobey?
An hour ago, it was still the Peasant National Salvation Army, and an hour later, 300 people put on the uniforms of the Japanese army, and there were 200 more rifles, but there were still so many people, but they raised a sun flag, and the newly established 11th Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army set off in a majestic manner.
Yin Junshi is now the commander of Yin. Division Commander Yin looked at the three hundred soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army wearing Japanese military uniforms in front of him, and he always felt a little awkward in his heart. This Chinese is used to it, and he is not used to wearing the military uniform of the Japanese.
"Deputy Division Commander Zhang, how do you feel about wearing this dress?" Yin Zengqiang asked Zhang Erfat beside him.
