War of Resistance

Chapter 1098 Burning Yueyang
While the Yueyang security regiment was retreating steadily, a plan to burn Yueyang began to be put on the agenda.

To be more precise, it is ready to launch, because all the preparatory work has been almost ready.

"Quick, pour gasoline right away! Drizzle the oil evenly! Also, put more wood!!" The officers of the Yueyang Security Corps were shouting, looking very excited, after all, it was already this time If you don't let the brothers below move faster, then it will be too late!
Countless officers and soldiers of the security regiment were running around the city, and their task was not light. Before the arrival of the little devil, they had to burn down the city that they once regarded as their "home".

However, it is impossible not to burn it. Once it is occupied by the Japanese army, it will become an outpost for the Japanese to attack the people in their hometown.

In order to allow the brothers to accept this order, the two brothers Zhang Zhihe and Zhang Zhihua did a lot of ideological work for these officers and soldiers—from the time Zhang Tianhai left, they were already mentally prepared. This was mentioned when the whole group meeting was held.

It is obviously not an easy task to burn a city. First of all, the materials must be prepared. Anyway, before the Japanese army came, the Yueyang security team was doing one thing, that is to prepare materials to burn the city!
"Report to the commander, according to the report from the front troops, the Japanese army is less than five miles away from us!" A staff officer who did not graduate from a military academy came forward to report.

Well, yes, in general, the security regiment's troop structure is not standardized, and most of them are nepotism-this can't be blamed on their selfishness or other things, but because if it is not nepotism Mechanism, they simply cannot command the people below.

Essentially, these security regiments cannot be regarded as regular troops, but anyone who is from a military academy or has been in the frontline elite troops is unwilling to join the security regiment.

Who are the people who are usually willing to join the security regiment?Either they have not received formal training, or they are some defective soldiers eliminated by the frontline troops, such as deserters and counselors.

For various reasons, the construction of the security regiment has not been standardized, and only the troops that are valued by the Kuomintang Central Committee can be standardized. For example, the predecessor of the No. 70 Fourth Army and the First Division is also the local security regiment Was it adapted?Moreover, it was only with the strong support of Chiang Kai-shek that the standardized reorganization was completed-such as filling in a large number of Whampoa Military Academy graduates and other specific measures.

In short, it is impossible for Yueyang's security regiment to be at the forefront of attention, so this also proves that Yueyang's security regiment cannot be an elite local security regiment, on the contrary, it is a security regiment with a mid-to-lower combat effectiveness.

Relying on such a force, it is simply impossible to resist the advance of the Japanese invaders.

The fall of Yue Yang seemed inevitable in the eyes of everyone.

So, just like that, both Zhang Zhihe and Zhang Zhihua decided to rely on burning to resist the advance of the Japanese invaders. Not to mention other things, at least it would cause them great trouble, right?

"Order the troops, throw it away if you can, and burn the city in 10 minutes!" Zhang Zhihe immediately decided to act. Compared with his cousin, he was much better.

"Yes! County magistrate!" The staff officer responded.

Soon, a big fire ignited from the center of Yueyang County, and the black smoke seemed to cover the sky.

Ichiro Hirata, the commander of the Japanese Marine Corps who was watching this scene from a distance, was furious: "Baka! Damn the Chinese people, they are so cunning! Speed ​​up!"

"Hay!!" The officers and soldiers under Hirata Ichiro all responded in unison, and the pace of their feet quickened a lot.

……

As the fire gradually ignited, the advance of the Japanese army gradually accelerated, but it was still useless...

……
