Chapter 35: Old Partner
This time, the Japanese government really feels that the Chinese side has done a very interesting job. If it weren't for China's initiative to allow the Imperial Japanese Army to participate in this peacekeeping operation, it is very likely that Japan would have been really excluded.
Not only were the soldiers and civilians who were very enthusiastic about the war at home unable to explain, but even the emperor himself felt that he had no face. It's a bit too much for you to do such a big thing as if Japan doesn't exist in this country, right?
It may also be to fight for a breath that little Japan didn't ask the British for any military pay before sending troops this time. The Japanese had to solve their own needs for combat materials, which somewhat surprised Yang Xiaolin.
It seems that Indonesia has been quite helpful to Japan's national strength after it has been acquired, like the previous wars, the Japanese have won with the help of the West, and now they can shake off the shackles of the West, which is good news for China, but also bad news.
"The Japanese side was led by General Nogi Noshinori, and his troops were led by the Japanese Guards Division, the Fifth Division, the Thirteenth Division, the First Mixed Division, as well as two artillery brigades and an armored division. There were 113,000 men in total, and the Japanese sent a message that their troops would land in Vladivostok in five days and then march westward, meaning that we didn't have to wait for the Japanese army, they would catch up with us. ”
Yang Xiaolin handed over the task of peacekeeping to Li Debiao, who had just arrived from the northeast by train, and before he had time to rest, he ran to see the peacekeeping troops that China was assembling and reported to Yang Xiaolin some of the information he had, and at the same time listened to the instructions of the headquarters.
Yang Xiaolin smiled after listening to him, Li Debiao said that Abe Shoutaro had already told Yang Xiaolin, and Nogi Noshinori said that he could catch up with the peacekeeping troops, and it can be seen from this sentence that the morale of the Japanese army generals seems to have risen a little, and they seem to have confidence in front of the Chinese army.
That's not good. The Japanese officers who were still not convinced had to be told that they had no chance of fighting another war with China.
"Biaozi, you are mainly responsible for keeping watch over little Japan in the Northeast, I want to know what you think of their combat effectiveness, and how much do you know about their army?"
Li Debiao said: "Commander, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army has indeed been greatly improved compared with before, and they have also issued carrying equipment similar to ours to the soldiers in the army, and at the same time, their training has also begun to move closer to us. In terms of firepower, they have also been strengthened. As I told you just now, they already have an armored division, more than seventy tanks, more than two hundred infantry vehicles, and the scale should not be underestimated. ”
Li Debiao wanted to continue, but Yang Xiaolin waved him to stop talking. He just wanted to see how Li Debiao paid attention to the Japanese in the northeast, and as for these actions of the Japanese, he naturally knew the truth.
Little Japan is catching up with itself, and they're really not slow. It's a pity. I'm always one step ahead of them. While the Japanese were training the bravery of their soldiers, they themselves were training the qualities of their soldiers. When Japan is training the quality of its soldiers, it is improving the speed of its soldiers. Now that little Japan is learning from China to list running as the most important training subject, Yang Xiaolin has retreated to the second line.
After half a year of disarmament. The current volunteer soldiers are basically special types of technical troops, or multi-type scouts. As for the speed of the soldiers, Yang Xiaolin now relies more on four wheels.
He is not afraid that little Japan will chase him behind, it is useless to be afraid. It is people's right to catch up.
"Biaozi, this time the competition for the commander of the peacekeeping force is quite fierce, I believe you also know it. Many people in our team want to take this job, I chose you because you are a clever kid, there are some things I don't say, you should also know how to do it, right? ”
Of course, Li Debiao knows that he has followed Yang Xiaolin for many years, and he has always been a descendant of Yulu Mountain, and he can hear what Yang Jiang always wants to do as long as he shows a little rumor: "Commander, rest assured, I will definitely uphold your principles when I go to Russia this time, and we will not shoot unless we have to, and it is the mission of our troops to rescue Russian citizens." ”
Yang Xiaolin was very satisfied, nodded and said, "Yes, let's loosen up here, and the Russians will have the strength to fight with Japan." This time, let's give the Japanese a chance to perform, don't steal the scenery of others. Of course, we can't fight without fighting, the Japanese army is composed of pure Japanese soldiers, and there are still 30 British soldiers, 20 German soldiers, 50 French soldiers in our troops, and more than 100 people from more than a dozen other countries. ”
Li Debiao hurriedly responded: "Alas, I know what I said." Commander, if we fight, can we help the second pole to do things? ”
Li Debiao saw that Yang Xiaolin did not speak, and knew that Commander Yang was waiting for him to say a specific plan: "You see, the Russian armed forces over there are no longer there, I heard that they are now tens of thousands of people, if we can get the British to recognize them, this Siberian Republic will be established." ”
Yang Xiaolin smiled slightly: "How can the British admit it?" Did you come forward to talk about the items, or did they come to the British to ask for it? ”
"None of this works! I think the best way is to let them fight with us a few times, a few real fights, and a lot of deaths. We have to make the British think that we really have nothing to do with them, but if we don't settle them, our logistical road will not be smooth, and it will be much easier to talk to the British about recognizing Siberia at that time. ”
Yang Xiaolin was very satisfied after hearing this: "Yes, at least you have learned to use your brain!" This method is okay, whether it works depends on whether the performance can hide from the British. This time the British side led the team with our old acquaintance, Rear Admiral Hamilton, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet last year, that person is quite shrewd, don't mess up. ”
There is only one reason why Li Debiao is so enthusiastic about the problems of the Siberian Republic, and that is the second pole. He has been with Erpole for more than ten years, and this relationship doesn't need to be said. Although the two quarrel every day when they are together, the person who knows the second pole best is Li Debiao.
Li Debiao believes that the second pole must want to come back now, and he must not want to be called the pole Lofsky by others every day. There is only one way to bring him back, and that is for the Republic of Siberia to eventually become a satellite state controlled by China, or to be directly annexed by China.
As for the question of deceiving the eyes of the British, if he is singing with others, he may not be sure of this. But singing against the second pole, Li Debiao believes that he will be able to sing very well in this play.
He didn't need to establish any communication channels with the second pole, he believed that as long as he made a move, he would be able to understand it immediately.
More than a dozen soldiers happened to walk past them at this time, and the company commander who led the team hurriedly stood and saluted: "Hello commander-in-chief!" ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded, raised his hand and returned a military salute to signal them to come over. Li Debiao's eyes looked at the group of soldiers, and he could see with just a glance that this time the soldiers Yang Xiaolin transferred from various places were definitely elite.
Just as the group of soldiers was about to walk over, Yang Xiaolin suddenly stood still: "Stand upright!" ”
The dozen or so people reflexively stood up in their bodies, and at the same time their waists thrust up. Qi brushed the submachine gun on his shoulder.
This action was neat and uniform, and Yang Xiaolin was very satisfied with it. He slowly walked up to the company commander: "Deflated three? ”
Jiang Zhiqing's face did not have the slightest expression: "Report to the commander, my name is Jiang Zhiqing, the lieutenant and company commander of the 249th Regiment of the 28th Army of the Southern Group Army of the Volunteer Army!" ”
Jiang Zhiqing was in the ranks of the Volunteers in the early days of the Great Patriotic War, Yang Xiaolin asked him to start from the grassroots soldiers, not to mention that he did a good job, he was quite brave as a soldier, and after two battles, he was elected as a squad leader, followed by a platoon commander. Company commander, battalion commander.
If it weren't for Yang Xiaolin's reform of the military system, and the number of ordinary combat arms would have been greatly reduced, Jiang Zhiqing would probably have become the regiment commander. This time he changed from battalion commander to company commander. There are many such cases in the Chinese troops, and he is not the only one.
Yang Xiaolin waved his hand hurriedly after hearing this: "Okay, I was wrong!" I apologize to Lieutenant Jiang Zhiqing. ”
Jiang Zhiqing's body was stiff again: "Lieutenant Jiang Zhiqing, accept Commander-in-Chief Yang's apology!" ”
His voice was so loud. The soldiers around looked at each other, and they wondered what was going on. Li Debiao looked at this guy and grinned. This kid kind of takes himself seriously.
Yang Xiaolin also laughed, in fact, he also subconsciously shouted just now, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, he always feels that calling this guy like this has a very enjoyable feeling. But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed those two words again: "Lieutenant Jiang Zhiqing, I remember that when you came to the Northeast, there seemed to be an agreement between us, and I said that as long as you behave well, I will give you a chance." Isn't that so? ”
Jiang Zhiqing nodded: "Yes!" The commander said such a thing at the beginning. ”
He said that he straightened his chest again, and pushed the Iron and Blood Medal, the first-class military merit medal and the first-class combat hero medal in front of him a little forward, which obviously wanted to tell Yang Xiaolin that he was really good.
"Good! Li Debiao, I now suggest that you let Lieutenant Jiang Zhiqing be the vanguard commander of the peacekeeping force, promote him to battalion commander, and Lieutenant Jiang Zhiqing can handle all emergencies on the front line independently. What do you think? ”
Jiang Zhiqing's eyes suddenly became hot! This time the peacekeeping force is conducting an international operation, and it would be very helpful for me to be a pioneer officer in such an operation. At this time, he finally forgot to hide his ambition, and his eyes stared at Li Debiao, full of longing.
Li Debiao looked at him again: "I think it's okay, Jiang Zhiqing, now you go back to your unit to complete the handover procedures, and immediately come to the headquarters to report." ”
"Yes!"
Jiang Zhiqing was very excited, he knew that as long as he completed the task well this time, his name would continue to appear in newspapers of various countries during this period of time, which was capital. He doesn't have to climb up step by step, Yang Dagui really gave himself a chance, of course, the premise is that he can grasp it. (To be continued......)
