The first thousand two hundred and thirty-eight chapters
On the Ren'anqiang battlefield, three main regiments, one engineer regiment, one baggage regiment, and one mortar regiment met with two Japanese divisions.
Liu Yuantang didn't go to the front line at all.
When he arrived in Ren'anqiang, he realized that compared to Cai Yuanyi, the acting chief of staff transferred to him by the 66th Army, he himself was a rookie in the battlefield against Japan.
Cai Yuanyi is a college student recruited by Zhou Xiaoshan in Peking.
When he first joined the army, he was shy and was not outstanding among their college students.
The Battle of Niangzi Pass, the Battle of Taihu, and the Battle of Southern Shandong have never fallen.
He also led the commando team to break through.
As a major staff officer in the 66th Army Army, when Feng Tiankui died in his country, he commanded several high-fire firepower not far away from him. He was unconscious and had his left arm broken.
Since the Sichuan Army entered Shanxi, every college student officer in the military was treated as a treasure by Feng Tiankui after being injured and marked among the wounded, Luo Jialie and Qin Guoliang naturally did not dare to ignore it.
Instruct the hospital to recover the best medicine and means.
Among the more than 3,000 injured veterans who returned to Yongzhou, there were more than 30 college students who joined the army in Peking and Yongzhou.
These college student officers and veterans who were injured and recovered from injury, except for those with disabilities, they all remained in the rear, and the rest were the main force in the expeditionary army.
Against the elite Japanese troops.
Cai Yuanyi not only has outstanding abilities, but also organizes party members who developed in Peking back then.
When Zhou Xiaoshan brought Cai Yuanyi to the 137th Division, he solemnly notified Liu Wenhui to be present and guaranteed his position as the chief of staff of the 137th Division.
Liu Wenhui waved his hand and said, "What kind of chief of staff are you? He directly appointed Cai Yuanyi as the acting chief of staff. As long as he goes to Burma to fight, the word "due" can be cancelled. He also told Liu Yuantang to listen to Cai Yuanyi more during the battle.
Liu Yuantang didn't think that on the way to the Sichuan Army entering Myanmar, Cai Yuanyi's ability to coordinate the entire division while training and marching was eye-opening.
When he arrived in Ren'anqiang, Cai Yuanyi and Zhou Xiaoshan contacted Dingce. The brigade commander who stayed in the remnant of the 33rd Division surrounded by Ren'anqiang was also an officer of the 66th Army. The 137th Division did not need him to worry about it at all.
This nodded teacher made him feel comfortable.
It is also a joy to be at Hu Lian's command center and bragging with the two division commanders.
"Team Commander Liu, why are you still here? Chongqing asked us to report the combat deployment!"
Whether it is daily training or leading troops to fight, Sun Li has to spend a lot of time every day to check.
He is the most unfamiliar with Liu Yuantang's hand-off manager, and he instinctively thinks he is an alien.
"Report a nonsense deployment. With this arrangement, the Expeditionary Force Command knows that it is necessary to go to Chongqing. How many people want to sell the Expeditionary Force's deployment to the Japanese at a high price. The Military Commission is still so risky. This is the principal's student who does not trust!"
Looking at Hu Lian with a dark face, Sun Liren suddenly felt that it was good that Ren'anqiang had such an alien.
"The principal cares about students. Is this wrong? Don't forget that students who graduate from the University of Shandong are also principal students!"
Hu Lian said this, but he was still very worried and reported the detailed combat deployment.
If the secret is leaked, it will be a big trouble.
"I am also a principal student, Xiaoshan and Commander Hu are quite different from each other, let alone those of the 18th Army. It is rare for me to report. If Chongqing asks, it will be said that our troops are facing the enemy advancing westward!"
Sun Liren was not a principal student, and he had no intention of listening to their arguments. What he was concerned about was not whether the information would be leaked, but he was interested in Liu Yuantang's regiments, and could not delay the attack of the Japanese army on the Eastern Front.
"Team Commander Liu, don't be careless. If the brigade you sent can successfully block the Japanese army for three years, I suspect that the 33rd Division on the mountain will definitely not be able to hold it in! "
The 33rd Division Division headquarters and two and a half-infantry regiments have been in the three highlands of Ren'anqiang for eight days.
In other words, they shouldn't have so much food.
Judging from the trend of Japanese reinforcements, the patience of the 33rd Division came from the direct orders of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army or the Southern Front.
If the Japanese reinforcements could be blocked for a few days, the Japanese on the mountain would be in trouble without fighting.
"When will we ever have diarrhea after the mission given to us of the 137th Division?"
It was rare for Liu Yuantang to explain to them that his generals were all elite sent by the 66th Army. Even the battalion commanders at the grassroots level had been replaced. His subordinates who had bad habits and were incompetent were eliminated during training in Yongzhou.
"Last night, the war had begun on the Eastern Front. The newly formed 26th Division and 200th Division, the Nanyang Self-Defense Forces received the captured artillery and attacked the Japanese intermittently all night. The Japanese must have been furious. According to the information sent by the Nanyang Self-Defense Forces, the 17th.18th Division was not slow. They marched all night and the main force had already passed the blunt misunderstanding!"
Hu Lian reminded Liu Yuantang that although the war on the Eastern Front began, Ren'anqiang was still the top priority in the Myanmar battlefield.
Be careful when dealing with everything.
"What I'm waiting for is the Japanese passing by Bei Miao. We had just finished fighting the 33rd Japanese Division, and several regiments disguised as battlefield went south just to fight reinforcements!"
The three regiments of the 137th Division were processed by the artillery regiment, but the artillery regiment was not from Hu Lian's sect at all. After receiving Zhou Xiaoshan's telegram, Cai Yuanyi immediately set off with some of the guards.
Several people were still talking, and the telegram came.
Cai Yuanyi led the 137th Division to catch up with the enemy.
A regiment heading along the railway was patiently waiting for the armored train that was driving the Japanese to pass by. A train from the 17th Division heading along the railway was detonated on the bridge. The Japanese in the special train had fallen into the river with the bridge.
"This Japanese don't remember to fight. The troops that reinforced Ren'anqiang of the 18th Division were killed on the train. The 17th Division dared to take the train to reinforce Ren'anqiang!"
As soon as Sun Liren finished sighing, he picked up the telegram and realized that it was not that good.
The Japanese were already very careful and sent a vanguard of troops to pass through Beimiao and inspect the railway along the railway.
Even the Sichuan Army was detonating the bridge, there were more than a dozen Japanese guarding them.
It’s a pity that one step is slower and passive, and the explosives buried by the Sichuan Army are relatively hidden.
The devils didn't find it.
It was already a very lucky thing to have two successes like bombing the Japanese train.
Then the telegram came again, from Ren'anqiang to Beimiao, all the highway and railway bridges were successfully blown up by the Sichuan army.
You know, Myanmar is still in the rainy season, and the rivers here are quite water.
If the Japanese rely on engineers to repair them one by one, they will be very busy.
Cai Yuanyi was cruel enough, and some mountain passes and dangerous intersections were buried with explosives and shells.
Wait for the Japanese to enter.
Not to mention three days, reinforcements from Yangon may not be able to arrive in Ren'anqiang even in a week.
"This battle results can be reported. Commander Liu, you still have to send a telegram to the frontline troops, so that they can choose the right battlefield independently and fight one or two blocking battles. They don't care about how many enemies they annihilate. The purpose is to slow down the Japanese marching!"
Hu Lian smiled and read the telegram received by the 137th Division. Didn’t the Japanese go to Ren’anqiang to reinforce?
Don’t you want the center to bloom?
We will let you go slower.
The 33rd Division on the mountain is still in the rain and hungry. When you arrive, the Japanese who are trying to bloom in the center can't even pick up their guns.
Not to mention that Zhou Xiaoshan was not familiar with the terrain between Ren'anqiang and Beimiao, Hu Lian was not familiar with it. Now he could only treat Sima as a living person, but it depends on whether Liu Yuantang's subordinates were good enough.
Sun Liren was so strange.
Liu Yuantang is laughing all day long, asking himself to drink with Hu Lian and some officers to catch fish and eat teeth. How could his soldiers be so capable?
Winning one after another.
If you change yourself, you may not be able to do so beautifully.
But good news comes one after another.
The Flying Tigers and the Sichuan Army Air Flying continuously attacked. The Flying Tigers blew up the 18th Japanese Division that was moving. The Sichuan Army Air Flying in the rain forest and found the suspected Japanese 5th Division. Without hesitation, they poured down the bombs and incendiary bombs specially prepared for them.
It was difficult to march in the rainforest. I didn’t dare to carry large quantities of baggage and ammunition, and I would get lost if I accidentally did. Now I had to avoid the fire.
