Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 34: Rush to the front line!

"I will report the intelligence here to the headquarters and ask them to negotiate with the German army and order them to stop arms sales. This is destroying the friendship between the two sides." After thinking for a while, Takeshi Sakurada couldn't figure out where these weapons came from, so he had to throw this problem to the headquarters and let them be responsible for solving this problem.

"I'll leave this place to you now. Once my troops take over Binyang, you can counterattack."

"Hay."

At the Gantang position, the headquarters of the 2th Division of the 76nd Army, Wang Lingyun looked at the map spread out on the table.

"Why are these places blurry?" Wang Lingyun pointed to several places on the map.

"Reporting to the division commander, this is Sichai Village and Shankou Market. Two regiments of troops have been sent to garrison here." The chief of staff said hurriedly.

"It's not enough, far from enough. Behind us is Binyang, which is our logistical supply line. If we lose it, the front line will be defeated." Wang Lingyun shook his head. He was personally inscribed with the words "Fushan Iron Army" by the old man in the mountain city.

As a man born into a direct lineage of warlords, he has come this far. In addition to leading the troops in battle, his brain is also indispensable.

Otherwise, someone like him who came from a Beiyang warlord family would have returned home to live with his wife and children long ago.

To have reached the current position among a group of ragtag troops, one must have some ability.

Therefore, he could see at a glance that Binyang's position was very important.

This is true. After the Battle of Southern Guangxi, Wang Lingyun was one of the people who was rewarded.

Although the Japanese army eventually captured Binyang, they were facing the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Imperial Guards Division, which had extremely strong combat effectiveness.

It was not easy to hold out for so many days facing a Japanese division and a mixed brigade.

"But, there are only so many of us." The chief of staff looked helpless. They were not a direct line of troops, but a Type B division, with only about 7,000 people. Some time ago, someone in Guilin was selling German equipment. They emptied their family fortunes to get a battalion of German equipment and also replenished some ammunition.

The combat effectiveness seems to have been greatly improved, but in fact there are still many areas that need to be defended.

"The high ground north of Gan Tang also needs to be garrisoned, and some reserve troops need to be reserved to prevent accidents. We really can't withdraw them."

Hearing this, Wang Lingyun sighed lightly, he knew that the other party was telling the truth.

"Where is Li Jingyi, the commander of the 49th Division next door? Ask him to transfer some troops to assist in the defense." Wang Lingyun asked.

"Ah? Ask them to withdraw troops? Will they agree? They are our own troops. The division commander, Li Jingyi, is a graduate of the second term of the Whampoa Military Academy. He is very arrogant and looks down on us, a ragtag army." The chief of staff hesitated.

"Damn it, what time is it already? Aren't the ragtag troops and the regular troops all anti-Japanese troops? Aren't we all here to fight the Japs? If the position is lost, whose responsibility will it be?" Wang Lingyun shouted angrily.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." Seeing the distressed look on the Chief of Staff's face, Wang Lingyun knew that it was useless to get angry at him.

Just then, the communications officer came in with a nervous look on his face and reported.

"Commander-in-Chief, the Japanese troops have been spotted at the Sicai Village and Shankouxu positions, and are currently engaged in combat with them."

Hearing this, Wang Lingyun was stunned and immediately started looking for it on the map.

"How many Japanese troops are here?"

"About 10,000 people," the communications officer said quickly.

"How much?" Wang Lingyun raised his head, looked at him in disbelief and asked.

"There are almost tens of thousands of people, so densely packed that it is impossible to count them." Staff Officer Tongxuan couldn't clearly say how many people there were, and could only describe them as densely packed.

This time Wang Lingyun was completely confused.

It would be fine if it was just a regiment, but with tens of thousands of people, how can we defend it?
"The Japanese are coming with great force. They want to take Binyang." The chief of staff immediately said.

"Nonsense, if it's not for Binyang, is it for the little Gantang? The only value of this broken place is Binyang behind it. There are mountains in the middle, and the Japanese can only go around us." Wang Lingyun said without raising his head.

"Two regiments will definitely not be able to hold the position. Let the newly formed German-equipped battalion prepare for support. Also let the 49th Division get ready."

"Report, the 49th Division called, their positions are also in conflict with the Japanese army, facing the Japanese th Division, a whole division." At this time, someone else came in to report. Hiss!
Everyone in the entire division gasped.

If they were facing 10,000 Japanese troops, it would be shocking enough.

As a result, the 49th Division next door was facing a division of Japanese troops, which was even more terrifying.

Of course, the division was not fully staffed with more than 28,000 people, but more than 15,000 people.

This is also scary.

These are all elite Type A divisions.

Although it is not one of the 17 permanent divisions, it is definitely a Type A division.

The combat effectiveness is unquestionable.

"We can't ask anyone for help now. We can only pray for good luck on our own. Tell the troops in front not to retreat. They must fight to the last man." After Wang Lingyun came to his senses, he immediately gave the order.

"I'll leave this to you. I'll personally lead the German-equipped battalion to the frontline. We must hold out for more than ten days to buy time for the follow-up troops to provide support."

"Yes." The chief of staff didn't say any more nonsense, he knew Wang Lingyun's character.

All that we have today is achieved by leading by example and fighting to the end.

On the other side, the garrison regiment led by Lu Yuhua had just arrived in Binyang.

This is the headquarters of Xu Tingyao, commander-in-chief of the 38th Army Group.

Along the way, Lu Yuhua's garrison regiment stole the show.

Their uniforms are those of the German-equipped division, but his are directly the uniforms of the German army.

It attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone was wondering which young master's army this was. There were more than 3,000 people in a regiment, and everyone had a gun. The equipment rate was simply outrageous.

You have to know that at that time, many of the ragtag troops only had one rifle for three people and only a few bullets.

Look at the ammunition boxes on their waists, they are all full.

Obviously an elite force.

It turned out that it was just a garrison regiment, which once again shocked countless people.

"A garrison regiment with more than 3,000 people? Everyone is equipped with German weapons? This is fucking stronger than my guard regiment." Xu Tingyao looked at his subordinates' report in silence.

"Yes, they are outside Binyang, saying they are waiting for your order to support the front line." The adjutant also found it incredible.

Just when Xu Tingyao was thinking about conquering the other party, he saw Staff Officer Tongxuan hurriedly walking in with a telegram.

"Sir, something has happened. The 1st Brigade and the 18th Division of the Japanese Imperial Guards Division have invaded Gantang."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tingyao instantly understood that the Japanese army was heading for Binyang.

This is a logistics supply station.

If Binyang is lost, the Battle of Southern Guangxi can be declared over.

The recaptured Kunlun Pass was also gone.

"Let the 714th garrison regiment rush to Gan Tang's aid and make sure they hold out for ten days. Also, report the intelligence here to Commander Bai and ask him to send reinforcements as soon as possible." Xu Tingyao ordered hurriedly.

"Yes."
