Of course Yoshida wanted to start a war. After all, if there is a war, there will be military merit, and only with military merit can you be promoted, but he has some concerns.
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, what General Yutsuka Yoshio means is that we only need to deter the Tuba Road and prevent them from disturbing the empire's attack on the Jin army.
If we fight in private like this, will there be any objections from the higher ups? "
Maideno's expression changed, and he said arrogantly: "Yoshio Yutsuka is a lieutenant general, and I am also a lieutenant general. He has no right to order me.
Besides, Yoshida-kun, look here! Wu Chuannan pointed to the Black Wind Mountain area of the Independence Brigade and said:
“This is the location of the independent brigade that repeatedly caused heavy losses to the First Army in the past few months.
You must know that this independent brigade was upgraded to a brigade because of its military exploits, and the Takeshi incident that had a great impact on the empire's reputation was also done by this independent brigade. "
"Nani? This independent brigade is so powerful! Takeshita has always been the next generation seed carefully cultivated by the empire!" This is the first time Yoshida heard this news.
Wu Chuannan sneered and said: "What a great fart, Wu Xia's death is entirely his own fault, and now he has achieved the prestige of Tubal Road.
Yoshida-kun, do you think that if our 36th Division eliminates this independent brigade, will the Imperial Headquarters punish us? "
"How is that possible? If we capture the commander of this independent brigade and wipe out the entire brigade, Wudeno-kun's chances of being promoted to general will be much greater."
Yoshida also lowered his eyes and looked at Wu Chuannan and said.
Wu Chuannan smiled and said, "Yoshida-kun, your benefits will be indispensable when the time comes!
But now we have to work hard for Mr. Yoshida to make a plan for the independent brigade. This is the first battle of the establishment of our 36th Division. No matter what, we must fight it well! "
"Hi!"
The 36th Division is a new Class B division that has just been formed by the Empire of Little Days. Six such divisions have been formed in Little Days at once, and they will continue to be formed in the future.
Their most important task is to replace the field divisions currently under the North China Front Army, maintain public security in North China and attack the anti-Japanese forces behind enemy lines.
The 36th Division does not have a brigade organization, but directly manages three regiments, with a total strength of nearly 12,000 people.
Although Wu Chuannan clamored to annihilate the Independent Brigade in one fell swoop, he knew clearly that if the Independent Brigade ran into Black Wind Mountain to avoid fighting, he would be very passive.
Because this is a battle that goes against the plan of the First Army Headquarters, the most important thing in such a battle must be speed.
Moreover, the logistical supplies of the First Army are now all effective against the troops fighting the Jin Army. A Class B division like him can only guarantee daily life.
When the three regiments under the 36th Division advanced towards the Black Wind Mountain base area, the Independent Brigade received the news.
independent brigade ministry
All the battalion-level cadres of the independent brigade were present. Wen Gu and his sister were sitting by the door.
Dakui sat next to Wenxin, and Xu Baichuan sat next to Wen Gu, just like the two kings. The cadres of the Independent Brigade were not surprised by this combination.
"Comrades, we have received information that the Japanese 36th Division, totaling 13,000 people, is encircling and suppressing our Heifengshan base area.
This is the biggest crisis we have encountered since the establishment of the Black Wind Mountain base half a year ago. It is also a moment to test the combat effectiveness of our independent brigade.
I hope that everyone can show the spirit of not being afraid of death, and must keep the Japanese out of the base area and ensure the safety of ordinary people.
Next, Chief of Staff Comrade Wen Zheng will introduce the situation of the Yamaguchi Brigade in detail. "
Wen Zheng stood up and took a look. It was completely unimaginable to have a brigade unit in an independent regiment before, but now all the cadres looked calm.
"According to the news from the headquarters, this division was newly formed this year. The soldiers are all soldiers who were trained locally in their childhood. However, their training time is shorter than that of the soldiers of the original field division.
The Japanese's 36th Division is a Type B division with three subordinate regiments. It is mainly responsible for the security situation in North China, so if nothing unexpected happens,
For a long time to come, this 36th Division will be our opponent. Its weapons and equipment are lower than those of the field division.
The Yamaguchi Brigade consists of three regiments, namely the Ogawa Regiment that has now arrived in Qin County, the Matsumoto Regiment in Xiangcheng, and the Kimura Regiment in Luyuan. "
After Wen Zheng sat down, Wen Su said, "Now you should tell me what kind of wealth you have, right?"
Several regiment leaders looked at each other, but no one said a word. Xu Tian said with a smile: "Usually when I ask you to report for establishment, you hide it, but now that the Japanese are here, you should show it out!"
The commander of the first regiment, Fan Debiao, stood up first and said, "Brigade commander, political commissar, our regiment now has 2,451 soldiers, all with Japanese weapons, and all the new recruits have participated in at least one small battle.
The light machine gun platoon, the heavy machine gun company, the mortar battalion, and the artillerymen in the regimental artillery battalion are not very good at it, but they can still fire two guns decently. "
Zhang Chenggong, commander of the Second Regiment, continued, "The Second Regiment has 2,276 combatants, and its weapons and equipment are similar to those of the First Regiment. The artillery unit has a former artillery platoon leader from the National Army, so he has learned well."
Gu Changshun, the commander of the Third Regiment, stood up a little nervously and said sheepishly:
"Brigade commander, the Third Regiment of the Political Commissar can't compare with them. There are 1,812 soldiers, all of them have guns, and the people in the artillery battalion are still studying at the regiment headquarters."
Wen Su knew that the development of the Third Regiment was the slowest, because the Third Regiment faced the direction of Li County. After the destruction of Li County, there were very few Japanese soldiers in this direction, and there were no opportunities to practice.
The first regiment faces Qin County, and the second regiment faces Luyuan County to the west of Heifeng Mountain. They both have the opportunity to fight the Japanese and have more opportunities to exercise.
Wang Dali of the Fourth Regiment stood up fiercely and was about to speak when Wen Su said: "Old Wang, you don't need to say anything. You are the general reserve team this time.
Unless there are special circumstances, your chances of going to the battlefield are very small! "
Wang Dali immediately became unhappy, "Brigadier Commander, other regiments have combat missions, why doesn't our regiment have one?"
Fan Debiao was the first to say, "Old Wang, aren't you talking nonsense? The fourth regiment is also called the arsenal guard regiment. Listen, you are not fighting.
Of course, if you don’t want to, we can exchange it with you! "
Wang Dali wanted to struggle when he heard that he was going to trade with him, but he stopped immediately when he heard that he wanted to change. All the members of the fourth regiment were equipped with new weapons.
It would be very powerful if used to fight Japanese invaders. Moreover, Director Zhou said that in the future, new weapons from the arsenal would be given priority in equipping the guard regiment.
Wen Su reassured: "New weapons cannot appear this time, otherwise the devils are likely to attack us because of this.
At that time, several Japanese divisions came over, and our independent brigade couldn't hold it back. "
When Xu Baichuan heard this, he asked puzzledly, "Why don't I know about my new weapon? Am I still useful as a special correspondent?"
