Chapter 301 is a close call
Unlike Takeuchi Kura, who is a colonel, he is a reserve officer. Rizhao Kurabu, who enjoys the title of blasting expert in China, has an enviable master's degree in engineering mechanics in Cambridge, and is one of the few scholars in Japan who enjoy the Emperor's scientific research allowance. He is more like a scholar than a soldier.
This is also the main reason why Rizhao Shangbu was able to obtain the rank of colonel when he was conscripted. Rizhao Shangbu's predecessor was killed on the bridge by a US plane. The 169 supplementary soldiers brought by Rizhao Shangbu who came to take over were almost all of his students. These were recruits who had only received military training in February.
In this regard, Rizhao Kura was very disgusted and even resisted the decision of Takeuchi Hiroshi to not cherish his life. In other officers, the Chinese were described as a man-eating demon. Rizhao Kura was very puzzled. Although he had never been to China, he had contacted some Chinese in the UK. They were gentle and easy to get along with. They were even more confused about the war in front of him. The war that began in Manchuria actually burned to Asia Minor. Rizhao Kura was surprised to find that the situation was not as good as the domestic publicity. The frontier officers and soldiers often lacked food and drink, and the conditions were extremely difficult. The vulnerable enemy in China was actually extremely powerful.
"Report to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the vanguard has approached Naba City, and it seems that there are troops fighting here. The vanguard is trying to find the Mountain Infantry Division to contact him!" After the communications adjutant finished the report, he closed the clip with a snap.
Song Yuhang looked at his watch and said loudly: "Transfer my order. The entire army will speed up its progress with light equipment and rush to Naba! Generate a power to Commander Cui, ordering his troops not to be disturbed by small enemy troops, and immediately launch an attack on the south side of the Naba Valley."
The troops who received the order immediately gave up their backpacks and excess supplies, and the troops began to move from marching to rush forward, and the subsequent logistics convoy began to collect supplies and backpacks of the troops.
When the tired Chinese soldiers heard that the main Japanese army was blocked in front of them, they all seemed to be charged, and they were full of energy and began to advance along the highway like enclaves.
Zhang Tiansheng was looking forward to the stars and the moon. When someone told him that Zhao Yongliang, the commander of the Fifth Light Equipment Division of the Second Mechanized Army, and Liang Chao, the commander of the army infantry, arrived, he felt like he was in a dream?
After Zhao Yongliang and Liang Chao walked into the command center with dusty faces, strode into the dust, Zhang Tiansheng became extremely calm and picked up the phone next to him and said, "Is the Rocket Armor? Ten minutes later, extending 200 meters to the predetermined ruler, and sending out all the ammunition. Our reinforcements are here!"
The last sentence of reinforcements came. Zhang Tiansheng looked at Zhao Yongliang, He Liangchao and the others and said, then Zhang Tiansheng pointed to the map and said, "The Japanese army installed hundreds of kilograms of explosives on the cliffs at the entrance of the valley. Now we have destroyed them. Until now, the position at the entrance of the valley is still in the hands of our army. Please pay attention to this place. The narrowest place in the z-shaped bend here is less than five meters wide and do not let the tank be destroyed here."
After saying that, Zhang Tiansheng picked up the cigarette box on the table and walked out. Zhao Yongliang and Liang Chao were startled and then stopped and said, "Our great heroes, deputy commander and chief officer will arrive later. You still need to be in charge of commanding here!"
Zhang Tiansheng smiled miserably and replied, "I am not a hero. The real heroes are still lying in the back mountain valley and on the positions. My troops have been exhausted and ammunition has been shot out? You asked me to bite it with my mouth? It's time for you to come out. I need rest now. I want to go to the field hospital to see my soldiers."
As soon as Zhang Tiansheng finished speaking, he ran away with Song Yuhang, who was walking towards him. Song Yuhang looked at Zhang Tiansheng's unshaven and thin face. He could hear nothing just now. Song Yuhang was not angry at all, but was also very relieved and happy. The Chinese people were just here.
Song Yuhang first saluted Zhang Tiansheng. He then said: "Order the follow-up troops to fight back immediately. Pay attention to restraining the remains of the martyrs. They are all worthy of the heroes of the nation. Invent the telegram to Chongqing. The Sichuan Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Army succeeded in the battle! All the best military doctors were transferred to rescue every wounded person as much as possible. They are our precious wealth and future."
Zhang Tiansheng was stunned at first, his eyes turned red. He was giving Song Yuhang a favor while he could not control his feelings. Tears flowed down excitedly.
The mountain infantry poured his efforts into countless hard work. He spent the rest of his life fighting almost all his old subordinates in this time. In the past, when he went to other Sichuan troops to dig up people, old friends, old comrades, and old commanders did not give him a good face. However, no one stopped him when he selected and took the land. He also told him to take good care of the land soldiers. In the ace lineup, not only did he have enough food and salary, but his equipment was good. Even if he killed the Japanese, he could kill more.
Now his mountain infantry division is almost gone, which makes Zhang Tiansheng's heart extremely empty. Song Yuhang patted Zhang Tiansheng on the shoulder and said, "The war in Myanmar is about to end. The first thing is to pay good carefree martyrs. Disabled officers and soldiers must be placed safely. This is absolutely unscrupulous. You can start going back to Kunming now to prepare for the 2,000 bases of the special combat brigade to choose from.
I will give you one thousand and give you three hundred officer promotion orders. You can face the recruitment of various ethnic groups in Nanshan District. The logistics department will solve the required fees for you. You will sign the weapons, equipment and training equipment that need to be allocated. I will sign the list and receive it as you use.
”
"Deputy Commander, I!" The big stone that was pressing on Zhang Tiansheng's heart finally moved away. Song Yuhang did not take advantage of the opportunity of reorganization to let him stand aside, but instead gave him great power and convenience.
Song Yuhang knew Zhang Tiansheng's concerns. After all, Zhang Tiansheng was abducted by himself after becoming a monk halfway through, and he had the very strong nature and habits of the Sichuan Army. This time, the mountain infantry division fought in Naba in blood. It can be simply viewed as Zhang Tiansheng's trust in him. After all, it is not easy to supplement after the troops are exhausted. The Changde battle has been more than a year, and the strength of the 10th Army, the direct line of the Central Army, has not yet recovered in Hengyang's defense city. The troops are incredibly short of units. These are obvious to all.
In fact, everyone knows that whether to supplement or not, how to supplement is just a sentence from Song Yuhang. The generals of the Chinese team have always regarded the army as their own capital. They will never be willing to fight for nothing until they are at the end of their lives.
Seeing that Zhang Tiansheng seemed to want to say something but couldn't say it. He knew that he wanted this honest man to show his loyalty in front of everyone, so he waved his hand and said, "The army is an armed force of the country and nation. We are all soldiers. If we kill the enemy and serve the country in the national war, we are martyrs who sacrificed their lives. We have a lot of pensions and burials. If the troops are exhausted, I will add it to you. If someone intends to preserve their strength and play those incomparable delayed fighter jets, I, Song, dare to go to his post to kill his head!"
"Get some rest! In the future, you will have to rely on your mountain infantry to fight big battles. You must recruit personnel and reorganize them quickly. If it really doesn't work, the troops will be trained and fought and polished in the battle!" Song Yuhang's words were very irresponsible, but everyone understood that he was just saying this to Zhang Tiansheng, for fear that Zhang Tiansheng would have been designated as the command and leadership core. If he wanted the troops to train and fight on the battlefield, Song Yuhang would be the first to jump out and turn against him.
Song Yuhang stood in Zhang Tiansheng's command center, and many generals and staff squeezed the empty command center. Song Yuhang frowned and said to Xu Tuan: "Immediately establish a multi-level command system. A large group of people like us gather here. The Japanese cannonball can remove the entire high-level center of the Chinese Expeditionary Force with just one shell. This is really terrible!"
Zhao Yongliang and Liang Chao immediately reported to Song Yuhang about the specificity of the Naba Valley position. The reinforcements of an armored combat company and two regiments had all been opened. Since the troops were directly expanded from one army to two armies, the divisions of each army had restored the regiment-level combat organization, and only the divisions directly under the Expeditionary Force still had a reorganized division system with brigades under the reorganized division.
Song Yuhang nodded with satisfaction in the rapid response of the troops. He found specific geographical information about the Naba Valley in the information on the construction of railways by the British. The Naba Valley was in an inverted horoscope. The north entrance he was located in was narrower and the south entrance was wider. This was also the main reason why he had allocated nearly all of his armored troops to Cui Zhijun for use. The narrow north entrance was not conducive to the deployment and maneuver of the armored troops. Once the tank was destroyed, it was likely to cause blockage of the offensive path.
When reinforcements from the Fifth Light Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force arrived, the fierce battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies entangled in the position had reached the last moment.
A blood-red and blood-red sun in the east was rising in the sea of clouds. In the valley, reinforcements from two Japanese infantry brigades were making final attacks on the valley entrance position. Outside the valley, the two regiments of the Chinese Expeditionary Force rushed towards the valley entrance position in oblique lines, and both sides were racing against time.
On the Gukou position, the remaining Japanese troops and the surviving mountain infantry were still fighting fiercely. After a fierce battle at the narrow Gukou position, the Chinese and Japanese armies were also abandoned.
From two hundred meters away from the gentle slope of the position to the fortifications within the position, the trenches were filled with corpses of Japanese soldiers in yellow uniforms. Occasionally, the colorful camouflage strips of mountain infantry were also crushed by corpses. The battle between the surviving personnel on both sides was completely trampled on the corpses.
At this moment, the number of Japanese troops still has a large advantage, but facing the well-trained and determined Chinese mountain infantry, wielding a mountain sword, the Japanese army has less than half a advantage. If a hand-to-hand combat broke out between the Chinese and Japanese armies in 1937, it would be normal for a squad of Chinese soldiers to be unable to deal with three Japanese soldiers in the formation of the Chinese army. It would be normal for four or five Japanese soldiers in front of them to be chased by Chinese mountain infantry with bloody mountain swords and throwing away their weapons and running away with their heads in a disguised progress.
When the Japanese reinforcements appeared in people's sight in the early morning mist in the valley, the Japanese army, who were chased and fled in a hurry, smiled on their faces.
The last moment has arrived, and the Chinese soldiers waved their hijabs without hesitation and rushed towards the Japanese army with bayonets. They wanted to use their lives and blood to defend the myth of never giving up on the mountain infantry!
