Chapter 298: They Need a Victory
The name of the vanguard seems to have become the object of conversation among the Chinese people overnight. The words of struggling on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War have also become the loudest slogan in the retreat of the Central Army. On the coastal front, only the vanguard army is still resisting to the death and has not retreated.
"Go to the SAR and join the Vanguard Army!" This phrase has become a fashionable phrase in the mouths of young students.
The Vanguard Army also provided good treatment for these students who came to the country. For these people, Meng Xiangunification has been included in the establishment of the vanguard army, so as not to chill their hearts. With the sign of the vanguard army on his body, he also looks extra formal and strict when assigning tasks. The treatment of the vanguard army is also yes, they are free from worries.
For them, it is appropriate to participate in the necessary military training in the boot camp, and not to be released because of their weakness. The revival of China must also have a martial style.
Of course, not all people can resist the training of the new barracks or adapt to the life of the army, as for the general choice of various schools, continue their studies, and use their knowledge to contribute to the motherland.
Although those students who joined the vanguard army did not participate in many actual battles, they were more used as a spark for spreading knowledge and ideas in the army, instilling knowledge and patriotic ideas.
This may be unfair to those with a low level of education, but what China needs more in the future is to build and create talents. With them, China will be able to establish a complete scientific foundation and technical system, manufacture better weapons, and continue to make China's civilization rejuvenate rapidly on the fast sail of science.
And often such a person needs more than ten years to cultivate a bullet that may not last long and ruin the future of a future scientist or thinker with a single bullet that may not last long.
"Platoon commander, come back and see us then!" The comrades-in-arms saluted and said goodbye to Chen Ergou one by one.
"You melon babies, Lao Tzu is going to the military academy, not to the execution ground, you see your eyes one by one, how can anyone shed tears when you are a soldier?" Chen Ergou smiled with red eyes. Although Chen Ergou is a sniper and does not go to the front to charge, his sniper rifle bullets always appear in the places where his comrades are in urgent need, often saving their lives and winning the respect of the soldiers.
At this time, I don't know when we will meet again, maybe I will be transferred to another place after coming out of the military school.
Ordinary soldiers have not cut off their path to progress, and excellent soldiers rely on their skills and military merits, one is promoted, and the other is sent to military schools for training and promotion.
Military academy training is also divided into on-the-job short-term training and professional long-term training. Chen Ergou belongs to the latter. This long-term is generally one year. A year later, even if they come back, they don't know how many of these comrades-in-arms they will see. Even if the battle loss rate of the vanguard army is low, the battle will always kill people. Every soldier has the consciousness of death before he goes to the battlefield.
"It's a big deal, it's a man's, give it to me!" Du Chunlai shouted loudly and led his company to rush towards the army on the mountain. The Maruyama detachment of the Ninth Division was very strong, and it was the desperate struggle of the Central Army that concentrated its forces, and the two sides fell into a stalemate in the area of Mahuiling and Pass on the Nanxun Road.
"The devils are still very greedy, Jiangxi in the south and Wuhan in the west, how many troops do they have? Devils have always liked to gamble, and sure enough. They didn't come to us, but they went to fight the Central Army. I'm not afraid we'll pick up their butts from behind. Meng Xiang listened to the reports that kept coming out of the staff officers, and said to Pharmacist Tang next to him with a smile.
"They need a win to boost their morale." Pharmacist Tang didn't know what was going on recently, the fan didn't shake, he just drank tea vigorously.
After the vanguard army sank the ships of the Navy, he did not make any movement except for clamoring for revenge. Let them retaliate, they can't come up with any available ships, the only two aircraft carriers are still being repaired, three under construction are not yet completed, relying on battleships, not to mention that the vanguard army also has battleships. Even in the face of shore artillery, the battleships of the devils could not rush through.
In the face of the dense large-caliber shore artillery of the vanguard army, even the Mutsu did not dare to say that it could support it, let alone others.
"We need to build more, bigger ships. The armor was thicker and the naval guns were larger, like the Yamato. "This fiasco made the devil make up his mind to vigorously develop the navy and build new ships. In addition, the various types of aircraft of the Type 96 have confirmed that they are all at a disadvantage in the face of the vanguard army, and the gap is very large. In the face of such a situation, before the new fighters appeared, he did not plan to waste the pilots to add to the Vanguard Army's achievements. In the last naval battle in the Yellow Sea, he lost more than 100 pilots of the Hainan Airlines, many of whom were elites, which made the devil feel very painful.
The strength of the Pioneer Army also makes the Devil Army angry, without air supremacy, the ammunition on the Pioneer Army's aircraft is like no money, and it is constantly splashed on the top of the devil's head. The backwardness of the army aviation aircraft and the shortage of air defense weapons have made the devil's army passively beaten in the face of the vanguard army.
Therefore, the devils around the SAR also continue to shrink their defense, without the slightest intention of attacking and retaliating. The vanguard army is not easy to provoke, and it has become the unanimous approval of the navy and army.
Since the vanguard army is not easy to mess with, and he urgently needs a victory to boost morale, he himself turned his target to the central army, which is easy to fight, and the advance along the Yangtze River has given the devil hope.
"We should stop continuing to advance, our forces are too scattered, and we don't leave much room for it, in case the vanguard suddenly attacks, how can we resist?" Shunroku Hata suggested. At present, the faction that advocates not expanding the scale of the war has carried out the vanguard army at every turn. The offensive of the vanguard army was too fast, and the last time the 114th Division was defeated in one day, it left too much impression.
"The vanguard army relied on chariots for rapid attacks, and the two Huai land were covered with a dense network of rivers, and their chariots could no longer be as they were in Xuzhou and Lianyungang. To the north is the Yellow River, and even if they build pontoon bridges, they will not be able to build them in a short time and a half, and our troops can quickly destroy their pontoon bridges, as long as their chariots cannot cross the Yellow River, we are sure to defeat them. Because of the defeat of the navy and the failure of Sugiyama Moto's command of the offensive vanguard, Terauchi Shouichi escaped being blamed and held accountable. Everyone is defeated, don't laugh at 50 steps and laugh at 100 steps.
"What about the Central Plains? The Central Plains region is a flat river, which is most suitable for the assault of combat vehicles, how to block there? Shunroku Hata asked.
"There are the 10th, 14th, and 16th divisions guarding there, and the 13th division in Xuzhou supporting each other."
"The 10th and 16th divisions are still replenishing personnel, right?" Shunroku Hatata's words stung Shouichi Terauchi, and the 10th and 16th divisions were successively defeated by the vanguard army, although they were not completely wiped out, but they also changed several times.
"And they also need to control the Central Plains." Shunroku Hata continued to say unceremoniously.
The Central Plains region has been a place of four wars since ancient times, and the people there are fierce, and if I want to plunder and raise troops there, the first thing I face is the local organizations of nearly 10 million people. Maybe in another time and space, the Henan people who were forced to rebel by various taxes chose to help Yue himself deal with Tang Enbo, but in this time and space, it was the more greedy Yue himself who rushed to collect protection money.
"Our aim is to reduce the Chiang regime to a local power, they have already been driven out of the Central Plains, and when they are driven out of Hankow again, the power and prestige of the Chiang regime will not be able to control the warlords of China, and we will be able to support one or two local forces from them. Even if the vanguard army does not defect to us, but the emperor is far away, they will soon get rid of the rule of Chiang's regime, and with them taking the lead, Chiang's central political axe will exist in name only. That's why we gave up attacking the vanguard army and turned to weaken Chiang's regime. Sugiyama interjected next to him.
"This time, the empire has invested more than three billion yuan, and 10 new divisions have been formed, which will be invested in China, and the glory of the empire is in this battle!" Sugiyama said with a sigh.
At the time of the July 7 Incident, it was said that the reserves for the gold and foreign exchange of the currency issued by him were only more than 1.3 billion yuan, but in just 37 years, he imported 960 million yuan of military supplies.
"We need victory, we need wealth, and there's what we want." Sugiyama didn't say this, but it was actually the case.
"We need a win!" Lao Jiang shouted to the rows of generals with a straight face, and he thought the same thing in his heart, but we changed it to me. Although there were successes, the successive defeats and retreats still caused unanimous attacks from opposition forces inside and outside the party. The people they instigated did not consider the difficulties of resistance in the face of themselves, nor did they consider the superiority in weapons and equipment of the vanguard army that had won successive victories, but only saw Lao Chiang's retreat step by step, and there was no victory.
"Concentrate your forces, at all costs, and you must achieve a victory!" Lao Jiang instructed, "We just need a victory!" ”
In order to win, the most important thing is to choose a good opponent. A weak opponent can quickly become the cornerstone of the victor's throne of glory.
He said that he chose the Central Army, and the Central Army, which was backwardly equipped, chose to fight more and fight less.
