Chapter 975: From Change
The battle was won. Sakai Naoji was killed on the spot, and the knife thrown by the dragon rope ancestor directly nailed him to the battlefield. His death caused a great chaos in the Japanese army, and the soldiers of the Southwest Military Region in the back and in front of the battle took the opportunity to cover up and defeat the Japanese army.
Naoji Sakai's body was snatched back, and the saber was also taken.
But the sacrifice paid by the Dragon Rope Ancestor was enormous. More than 1,400 men of the 52nd Division were killed, and the rest were more or less wounded. And Long Rope Ancestor, as the division commander, was the most seriously injured and was stabbed with five bayonets.
The last two stab wounds were the worst, almost piercing him through the abdomen. If it weren't for the desperate rescue of the soldiers who rushed up, he would have been killed a long time ago.
Without the knife in his hand, although Long Shenzu grabbed a rifle to fight, he was no match for the Japanese soldiers after all, and he was beaten several times. Now he was gasping for breath on the position, and the soldiers behind him were also physically and mentally exhausted and unable to pursue.
After all, the 15th Division was able to make achievements in India, and it was not a weak brigade. Long Rope Ancestor paid a heavy price to defeat the 15th Division.
Although the 52nd Division had no way to pursue, the other brother units still had the strength to spare. The Southwest Military Region rushed to catch up and drove the Japanese troops more than 20 kilometers away before stopping.
At this time, the fierce battle in the sky has also come to an end. After yesterday's losses, the Japanese army's army aviation units were reluctant to fight, and the battle situation can be imagined under such circumstances.
After losing more than 30 fighters, Sugiyama could only order the troops to withdraw and repair. The Wehrmacht warhawks were all piloting interceptors, and because of the range, they could not pursue them and had to give up.
From a strategic point of view, both the Japanese army and the Wehrmacht have achieved their respective strategic objectives. The Japanese had the strategic purpose of slowing down the Wehrmacht's offensive, allowing the Turks to deliver supplies and weapons to them as quickly as possible, and to have two more days to gather troops.
The Wehrmacht, on the other hand, successfully broke through the Japanese defense line according to its own strategic arrangement and advanced the battle line to the Son Lo district outside Dien Bien Phu.
"Why hasn't progress been made yet?! The Rope Ancestor has already laid down Dien Bien Phu. We're still struggling here! An Sipu, commander of the First Army Corps of the restructured Southwest Military Region, pointed to the map of Liangshan and said.
"Let the troops step up their attack, within three days we must enter the Jiangbei region!"
"Yes!!"
The 1st Army Corps of the Southwest Military Region was responsible for launching an offensive from Pingxiang to Liangshan, demanding that it must break through the Japanese defense line in the Liangshan area and then threaten Hanoi and Saigon, the Japanese camp in Annam.
The Second Army Corps of the Southwest Military Region was responsible for assembling in the occupied Myitkyina area, and then led by the commander of the corps, Zhang Chong, to approach the large camp of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia in Thailand.
The 3rd Army Corps, led by Gao Yinhuai, launched an attack from Dien Bien Phu and cooperated with the 1st Army Corps to encircle Annam with a pincer attack.
"Rope Ancestor, you fought too hard this time!" Gao Yinhuai is also Long Yun's old brother, and the Southwest Military Region has just undergone Lu Han's adjustment some time ago, in order to fight this battle well.
And Gao Yinhuai is now the direct boss of Long Rope Ancestor. In fact, Lu Han transferred Gao Yin Huai. It is also selfish. The relationship between Gao Yinhuai and Long Yun is clearer than Lu Han.
Therefore, Lu Han hopes that Gao Yin Huai can use more dragon rope ancestors. Let him make contributions on the battlefield, so that the Long family can take root in the army.
"Don't talk! Listen to me! Gao Yinhuai raised his hand to stop Long Shenzu's explanation, and said, "In the National Defense University." I'm sure you've heard a lot as a commander, what you want to make sure is that your team wins and doesn't take the risk lightly! ”
"I guess you've also seen the chaos of the Japanese army after the death of Naoji Sakai, can you guarantee that if you have an accident, your troops won't be messed up?!"
Long Rope Ancestor was dumbfounded, and could only silently accept Gao Yinhuai's criticism.
"I know you're eager to make a meritorious contribution and want to kill Naoji Sakai. But that's not how you fight, you're just reckless! You know?! ”
"Commander...... I know it's wrong, I'll write you a review......" Long Rope Ancestor lowered his head. Na Na said: "I also want our Southwest Military Region to make a show, and the South China Military Region of Delin Gong has already played a majestic role in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions." I don't think our Dian army can be left behind......"
Facing Gao Yinhuai, a veteran of the Yunnan army, Long Rope Ancestor finally said what was in his heart. Everyone knows that the predecessor of the South China Military Region was the Gui system, and although it had fought with the Japanese army, it did not bargain for anything.
But Jiangsu and Zhejiang can fight. It really played the prestige of the Gui system. Although it caused some losses, the Gui system ...... No! Now it should be called the daimyo of the South China Military Region, and the daimyo of Delin Gong and Jiansheng Gong have become known throughout the country.
And now that the war in the country is over, all that remains is some sporadic battles at the end.
At this time, the eyes of the whole country were attracted to the Southwest Theater. The pressure of Long Rope Ancestor and others is not heavy. The Gui family has proven that it can fight, but what about the Dian army?!
In fact, it's not just the Dragon Rope Ancestor. In fact, it includes Lu Han, Gao Yinhuai, Zhang Chong, and Long Yun...... Wait, these veterans of the Yunnan army are sweating in their hearts.
If the Dian army didn't make a splash this time, the name of the Dian army would be blind.
The Gui Department took down the heads of two Japanese division commanders on the battlefield in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Long Shenzu now saw the division commander of the Japanese army, his eyes were red, and he wanted to cut them down, proving that the Yunnan army was not worse than the Gui system.
"Alright, Rope Ancestor! I know your mind, review you have to write. When the time comes, you can just read it out at the internal meeting of the legion. Gao Yinhuai looked at the dragon rope ancestor who bowed his head, and sighed: "Take care of your injuries, we will fight next!" ”
It's really a hit. Sugiyama sent an urgent telegram back to the earth, and Hirohito summoned Fushiminomiya, the commander of the navy. The Fifty-Six was reactivated, and at the cost of the Navy having to cede those planes to the Army.
At the same time, it is necessary to send all kinds of supplies, weapons, and warplanes to Saigon. At the same time, he assisted the army to defend Annam, and dispatched its own transport ships to bring back all the resources stranded in Southeast Asia.
Fushimiya gritted his teeth and recognized. Who called the Navy bad this time?! And for the reopening of Mountain Fifty-Six, it is helpless to pay some price.
The commander-in-chief of the combined fleet was again appointed to the post of Fifty-Six, and this time there was no objection from all the media and even the army. Everyone accepted the appointment of the Navy as if nothing had happened.
The Combined Fleet then set off again, carrying a large number of warplanes, weapons and military supplies to Annam. At the same time, groups of convoys set off with the fleet to Annam to bring back the resources stranded in Southeast Asia.
"Seven days! We only need to hold out for seven days at most, and the troops from the Empire will be able to arrive! We'll have enough strength to compete with the Wehrmacht! "Sugiyama Gen is now like a gambler who has lost a red eye, and in front of him are the fierce generals of the Southeast Asian occupation zone such as Mamasa Haruharu and Yamashita Bong.
"I don't demand much from you, as long as I can hold off the Wehrmacht for seven days! Do you understand?! ”
"Hail!!" Everyone stood up and shouted in response. After a period of accumulation, the elite troops in Southeast Asia were concentrated on the Thai front.
In order to stop the Wehrmacht offensive and keep the Wehrmacht troops out. The Fifteenth Army in India left a division that would accompany Chanrad's Indian National Army in its attack from the direction of Myitkyina.
All the preparations that Sugiyama is making now are to hold back the Wehrmacht. As long as he waited for the arrival of those armaments and warplanes, and with the assistance of the navy, Sugiyama even thought that he was sure to launch a certain counterattack against the Wehrmacht.
"The next battle will be more and more difficult to fight, and we have now threatened the resource points of the Japanese in Southeast Asia. I don't think they're going to watch us do it. ”
In the imperial capital, at the routine combat meeting of the National Defense Force, Su Zongzhe distributed the battle report to everyone: "But our troops still need to be repaired, and the adjustment in the early stage has been preliminarily completed. This is followed by some finishing touches. ”
"The prisoners of war have been transported to the designated places, but we still need people on duty to suppress possible riots." Su Zongzhen paused and said, "It is impossible for these Japanese and those prisoners of war in Southeast Asia to settle down. We have to be ready. As soon as anything happens, we have to deal with it as soon as possible. It must not affect our internal security problems. ”
"The South China Military Region will first finish the repair and go to the southwest region for support." Tu Menghu was silent for a while, and said: "The North China and East China Military Regions are responsible for the rectification and law and order of prisoners of war, and after the final adjustment, they will go to the southwest for training. Without half a year of training, you are not allowed to set foot on the battlefield. ”
"The environment in the southwest is completely different from that in the north, and the troops fighting there need a period of adaptation. The South China Military Region is relatively better, after all, they have a similar climate and geographical environment to the southwest......"
Tu Menghu discussed with Su Zongzhe and others, and decided on the arrangements and preparations for the war in the southwest of the country.
"Next is the question of the Soviet Union." After talking about the situation in the southwest, Su Zongzhe took out another piece and said: "The Soviet Union is now purchasing a batch of weapons from us, and they will use iron ore, copper ore, oil and gold...... and other resources to pay the bill. ”
"What do they want?!" There are good goods, Tu Mengben has always been unwilling to miss them.
"100 Tiger Shark fighters, 50 Tiger tanks, 50 heavy guns, 20 heavy artillery, ......" Su Zongzhe did not stop breathing, and reported a series of Soviet transaction requirements.
"Tiger sharks and tigers give them old-fashioned heavy artillery and heavy artillery can be given to them at the factory price." Tu Mengben sighed: "If the Soviet Union is unlucky, we will not be much better." They're still not unlucky......"
