Chapter 11: Wild Supplement (42)

As soon as the 131st Division attacked Shangjin, the topic of discussion immediately shifted to this aspect in the military cantonment camp in Zhongguancun, Yuexi County, western Anhui. Mo Di was not familiar with the terrain in the area of southern Guinan, so he could only infer the development of the war based on combat communications, and the results of the deduction were much inferior to Jin Tongxuan, who was higher than theory and practice. Jin Tongxuan looked at the geographical location of Shangjin on the map, and knew the intention of the 31st Army, the mouth of the three rivers, and the throat of the place. The question is whether it will be possible to win and occupy the gold? Jin Tongxuan's answer was yes, because it was determined by the Japanese army's desire to occupy Vietnam, and if the Japanese army's desire to occupy Vietnam was strong enough, they would not care at all about losing a few small mountainous counties in the southwest of Guangxi.

Will the Japanese army be able to enter Vietnam so smoothly? The news is still positive, after the Sakurada Takeshi Guards Brigade and the first division of the 5th Division of Nakamura Akito entered Lang Son, Nakamura Akito held Lang Son and confronted the French Foreign Legion, Sakurada Takeshi led the troops to advance from the Sino-Vietnamese border to the sea, and in less than a week, they arrived in the Thien An area of Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. Sakurada kept the news tightly sealed, and it was not until Vice Admiral Kondo Hsinchu's Japanese Navy's 5th Fleet left Qinzhou Bay for the Quang Ninh region of Vietnam that the mysterious hijab was revealed, and the Japanese had forcibly occupied the northeastern region of French Vietnam.

As soon as Chen Zhengxin's attack on Xiao Dong's Japanese army began, the Japanese air force support was obviously insufficient, precisely because the 3rd Combined Air Force of the Navy of Rear Admiral Zhengxiang of Shan County was divided into two. After the ambush at Jiuniuling, the 175th Division, which was outnumbered, and the reinforced Taiwan Brigade and the 1st Infantry Brigade were evenly matched, although most of the Japanese reinforcements were killed, but relatively speaking, the 175th Division was still defeated. The reason for the fiasco, Feng Huang, commander of the 175th Division, believes that the Japanese army still used aircraft, and this time, it used all the planes at Nanning Airport. The planes at Nanning Airport shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending Kunlun Pass, and this time they did not hesitate to give up the defense of Kunlun Pass, which was completely with the attitude of breaking the jar and breaking it, after all, the Yongqin Line was more important, it was a lifeline.

"Commander Feng Huang's mistake in this battle was that he did not take any precautions against the aircraft, and as a result, one of his divisions was entangled by an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, but the real killing move came from the sky." Jin Tongxuan said with a smile: "The so-called thunder is above the nine heavens, and the Japanese army has given this vice principal of Guangxi Aviation School a good air raid lesson. ”

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the strength of the Japanese army still cannot be underestimated, Nanning Airport, although some planes have returned to Guangzhou, but there is still the strength of a war." Mo Di said: "If you don't have a little strength, how can you occupy Nanning and not let the national army shake it in the slightest!" ”

Because the Jiuniuling ambush was unfavorable and the attack in Qinzhou did not continue, Chen Zhengxin was angry and once again wiped out the Japanese troops in Xiaodong Primary School, which was regarded as a bad breath. In this battle, the Japanese army lost two infantry brigades, and the escort work of the Yongqin Highway was again understaffed, in order to escort the transport team, Nanning Airport actually dispatched planes, and the planes cruised left and right before and after the transport team, although there were only one or two sorties, it was also very deterrent, and for a while, the Yongqin Highway was calm. Even Chen Zhengxin, who is known for his good deeds, looked at the plane above him with annoyance, and couldn't think of anything good to recruit.

The fighting in the south was somewhat calm, and the war in the north broke out again. 1940 was destined to be an unquiet year for China.

On 18 August, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kuomintang Government received a telegram from Ambassador Gu Weijun to France: Japan had put forward a number of conditions to France, demanding that the Japanese army be allowed to attack China through Vietnam, that it occupy all the seaports of Vietnam, and that it demand a variety of economic privileges.

On 19 August, Gu Weijun telegraphed again that according to the diplomatic corps, France had instructed its ambassador to Japan to allow Tokyo Bay to be used as a Japanese naval base and Beiqi as a military base. The Japanese army will be able to enter Vietnam without any problems.

When the news broke, there was a great uproar in China, and the most fierce reaction was the 18th Group Army in North China. On August 20, under the leadership of Peng Dehuai, deputy commander-in-chief of the group army, 105 regiments, about 400,000 troops, and 200,000 militia were dispatched at the same time to launch a general attack on the main communication lines such as Zhengtai, Tongpu, Pinghan, and Jinpu. In just one night, the whole line of Zhengtai Road was paralyzed, the strongholds along the line were basically pulled out, and the land of North China was full of smoke and wolf smoke. A sabotage battle was in full swing on the main communication lines occupied by the enemy in North China centered on Zhengtai Road and the areas along the routes.

Mo Di and Jin Tongxuan were both attracted by this battle, and no longer coveted the tranquility and comfort of Zhongguan, they returned to the headquarters of the Yuexi County Field Supplement Regiment, and gathered all the 21 radio stations of the regiment together to collect information in an all-round way. The telegraph liaison with the military intelligence department of the group army basically became a hotline, and Tang Ruru knew the weight of the intelligence work on the side of the Moji, so he went so far as to ask the Modi to exchange information with the group army and pick up the missing points.

"It's a textbook battle! It is of great guiding significance for our operations behind enemy lines! Mo Di said: "Compared with the Eighteenth Group Army, we are too kind to the Japanese puppet army around us!" ”

For twenty days in a row, the entire 176th Division Field Supplement Regiment was attracted by a seemingly chaotic battle in the far north. Luo Wei, who had already put the two newly formed battalions in place, also rushed back with the two battalion commanders Ouyang Jin and Zhong Liang, and as for Shi Chong of the guard battalion, he was already guarding the regiment headquarters. Qin Guosheng, director of the Political Department, was not a qualified political talent at all, and he was full of interests and hobbies in combat, huddled around Jin Tongxuan, drew red lines on the map, and was very busy, freeing himself from the work of an operational staff officer. With the in-depth development of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the more a group of people looked at it, the more frightened they became, and the more they looked at it, the more they became more and more energetic, digging railways, blowing up bridges, and all the tracks, bridges, tunnels, water towers, and stations of the Zhengtai Railway Line were spared. The Japanese cage policy disappeared in a gust of wind. Everyone unanimously agreed that fighting behind enemy lines should be done in this way!

"The most powerful point is that the army is in front and the people are behind, and every time they fight, they will be surrounded by a large number of people, and the people will play the role of laborers, and only a small proportion of the results will be distributed." Luo Wei said while thinking about it that the Red Army's people's war methods made him completely incomprehensible.

"The most powerful thing is not this, it is that we have a different foothold from them in dealing with war." Qin Guosheng has been the director of the political department for a few days, and he has mixed with Li Pin and them every day, and when he talks, he actually has the tone of a three-point political worker, and he continued: "We are the masters of the country, we fight, and we are very careful to take care of any material around us, even if it is a worthless pot, it belongs to us, so we shrink back when we fight." They are different, their foothold is to break an old world and build a new world, so they can destroy and destroy with impunity. We will not fight this kind of sabotage war, and Chairman Chiang will not allow us to fight, and the so-called scorched earth war is a war of resistance in scorched earth, not to turn our land into scorched earth first. ”

Mo Di glanced at Qin Guosheng, two years ago, the scorched earth war he understood was the latter that Qin Guosheng said, it seems that this child's political and ideological realm is far above himself.

Shi Zhong was amazed by some of the methods adopted by the Eighteenth Army in the sabotage battle, he did not care about politics or thoughts, and victory was his ultimate goal.

Ouyang Jin obviously looked down on the practices of the Eighteenth Group Army, believing that this was not a dignified military operation, and the tactics and strategies were insignificant, and they could not be put on the table. Zhong Liang, who graduated from the same class as Ouyang Jin, had a completely different idea, and his first sentence surprised a group of people from Mo Di to Tang Ruru, he said: Our 21st Group Army has two armies, with less than 20 regiments under its command, and the total number of people is only 300,000 people, and the 18th Group Army has three divisions under its jurisdiction, and it actually has 100 regiments and 400,000 people.

Logistics chief He Degui also appropriately inserted a sentence: The food, drink, and chewing of 400,000 troops and 200,000 civilians are not something that ordinary people can handle, and they can handle the food, drink, and lazar of 600,000 people, which shows that they have sufficient logistical capacity.

Wei Yongcheng, director of the Political Department of the 48th Army, sent a telegram, and after the telegram was translated, everyone laughed. In this regard, Tang Ruru also felt the same way, and even came up with the idea of finding out what had to do with the Mo enemy and the Red Army, and even Zhang Guangwei, deputy commander of the 84th Army, thought that the Mo Di's combat methods had something in common with the Red Army. Only Mo Enemy, after careful observation for half a month, sent a telegram to Zhou Zuhuang in Guinan and Wei Yunsong in southwest Gui, the content of the telegram was very simple, through the initiative to attack, by learning the fighting style of Zhengtai Road, the Japanese army in Guinan was wiped out on the spot, and the Japanese lieutenant general Jiu Nacheng was not allowed to live out of the Yongjiang River.

The Guangxi troops did not want to let Jiu Na Chengyi get out of the Yongjiang River alive, and Jiu Na Chengyi was also very worried about whether he would be able to get out of the Yongjiang River alive, because in mid-September, the Chinese army began a full-scale attack on the Japanese 22nd Group Army in southern and western Guangdong.

The attack was outlined by Wei Yunsong's 31st Army and Zhou Zuhuang's 46th Army under Xia Wei's 16th Group Army, and Xia Wei, commander of the 16th Group Army, believed that the Japanese army today was no longer capable of attacking northward. Therefore, instead of placing the 188th Division of the 31st Army in Weizhen at the peak pass, it is better to transfer the troops to the front line of the Yonglong Highway and intensify the attack on the remnants of the Japanese Fifth Division and the rest of the Sakurada Guards Brigade stranded in China, and strive to wipe out this Japanese army in China. Major General Hai Jingqiang, deputy commander of the 188th Division, received the order, was inexplicably excited, and took the lead along the Yonglong Highway to the Mingjiang area, striving to form three sharp knives with the 131st Division and the 135th Division to kill the rest of the Japanese army in Pingxiang Longzhou.

Jiu Na Chengyi in Nanning City, has long been like an ant on a hot pot, he ate black beans for a few days before, and exhausted his farts for a lifetime, and then he was raised, and because he was greedy for a few more canned herring, he couldn't adapt to the cold oil of the canned food in his stomach for a while, and he pulled it for a few days, and almost pulled it down. Entering September, the sky in Nanning does not have a trace of coolness, and the autumn tiger peels in autumn, which has been fully certified here. Jiuna Chengichi even had a premonition that he would die in this distant southern city.

In the morning, he walked along Fuqian Street to the Yongjiang River under several huge banyan trees, and the guards had already brought him a reclining chair, sat on the reclining chair, ate a bite of Nanning's local corn paste, sent in a fairly exquisite sushi roll, and started the day's work. Jiuna Chengyi is used to doing official business under the banyan tree, which is relatively shady, and the Yongjiang River brings the river breeze, so it is not too stuffy.

The water of the Yongjiang River is very clear, slowly flowing in front of it, and then slowly flowing to the east, silently. I have been here for more than half a year, and before I came here, the base camp told myself that the purpose of this trip was to enter Vietnam, cut off the passage from Nanning to Hanoi, and at the same time, occupy Vietnam, and fundamentally cut off the Yunnan-Vietnam railway. The British have agreed to stop transportation on the Burma Highway for three months, and the only way to reach Chinese mainland is the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, which is the only lifeline, and if this lifeline is broken, the Chinese government's will to resist Japan will die and the goal of occupying Chinese mainland will be achieved. However, the truth is not as simple as imagined, the Chinese, especially the Guangxi people, are too tenacious, their vitality is super strong, their lethality is super strong, their entanglement and resilience are also very abnormal, they will not surrender, even if they only have the last person left, they will fight desperately. Now, it's time to think about how to exit safely.

Another day passed under the banyan tree, and the slanting sun in the west reflected the sparse ripples in the Yongjiang River, and when the ripples faded, the night fell.
