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

Chapter 57 Could this be an illegitimate child?

Pretending to retreat and encircling the enemy were common tactics used by the Japanese army. Wang Lingyun had experienced the power of the Japanese army before, so he was naturally more cautious.

"Are they really retreating?" Li Jingyi picked up the telescope and looked at the Japanese soldiers who were tidying up their tents. It didn't seem like there was any conspiracy, so he asked doubtfully.

"It shouldn't be possible, right?" Wang Lingyun was also a little confused.

The Japanese clearly had the advantage, so why would they think of retreating?
If this was a conspiracy, the retreat was too realistic.

"Could there be a problem somewhere else?" Li Jingyi guessed.

"Other places? There? The Central Army has withdrawn to rest, and other battlefields are filled with miscellaneous troops. It would be good if they can withstand the Japanese attack, but can they defeat the Japanese?" Wang Lingyun directly rejected his opinion.

This time Li Jingyi did not refute. They all knew the combat effectiveness of the ragtag army.

"That's strange. The Japanese army clearly had such a big advantage, but they actually retreated on their own initiative. It's really puzzling." Li Jing nodded and then rubbed his head.

"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. There must be something wrong in other battlefields. It's a pity that we are too weak. Otherwise, we can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack. I can't say I can eat some meat, but at least I can drink some soup."

"Okay, let's still eat meat. Defending Luancheng is already a great achievement. Don't think too much about other things, unless we are a German-equipped division." Wang Lingyun is very self-aware and thinks that there is no need to think too much. Defending the position is the greatest achievement, and we can still eat meat.

Be careful of a counterattack by the Japanese army, otherwise you might not only not get any meat, but also get yourself into trouble.

"That makes sense." Before Li Jingyi finished speaking, the communications officer rushed in and said in a serious tone.

"My lords, an urgent message from the Army Group Headquarters."

"What's the matter? Just read it out." Li Jing waved his hand, indicating that he should just read it out.

"The other day: The Japanese Army's 2st Guards Brigade suffered heavy losses at the Shankouxu position, losing more than 1 people and was forced to retreat and join the Japanese Army's th Division. I hope your troops will be more careful and not lose Luancheng. Telegram on February , ."

Hearing this, Li Jingyi and Wang Lingyun looked at each other, especially Wang Lingyun, who looked at the communications officer in confusion, as if asking, is this true?

The Japanese Army's 1st Guards Brigade suffered heavy losses at the Yamaguchi position?

Loss of more than 3,000 people?

This is almost as bad as the damage in the battle at Kunlun Pass.

"Brother Lingyun? If I remember correctly, didn't you say that there was only one garrison regiment at the Shankouxu position?" Li Jingyi came back to his senses and remembered that Wang Lingyun had told him not long ago that there was a garrison regiment stationed there. In order to prevent the position from being lost, the two remaining brigades were even ordered to provide support at any time.

How come the Japanese Army's 1st Guards Brigade was severely damaged now?

When did the Japanese army become so weak?

Can’t even defeat a garrison regiment?

Even if they were all equipped with German weapons, it would not be possible for a brigade to be defeated by an infantry regiment of 3,000 people? And they also suffered heavy losses?
What happened?
Who can tell him?
Just looking at Wang Lingyun's confused expression, Li Jingyi thought that this guy probably didn't know either.

"I don't know. I've been defending Luancheng with you for the past two days. How should I know?" Wang Lingyun couldn't figure it out as he racked his brains. The Japanese 1st Guards Brigade, which almost defeated his entire division, was now defeated by a regiment and suffered heavy casualties. It was simply unbelievable.

"Let me call and ask." Wang Lingyun felt that he could not guess the answer by blindly guessing, so he directly asked the communicator to connect the 227th Brigade.

"Commander, it was a great victory, a great victory. The 714th garrison regiment was so fierce. Their regiment dared to charge at a Japanese brigade and killed so many Japanese soldiers. It is said that they chased the Japanese for more than ten miles. If the Japanese had not sent a regiment to support them, I am afraid they could have killed all the Japanese soldiers." As soon as the phone was connected, the voice of Wang Feng, commander of the 227th Brigade, was heard.

"Wait, what exactly happened? How come I just left for a few days and the Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat?" Wang Lingyun now desperately wanted to know the truth and asked in a very anxious tone.

"Commander, I don't know the specific situation. I only know that there was a lot of gunfire at the Shankouxu position. Yes, heavy artillery, it was heavy artillery. The 150mm heavy howitzer completely destroyed the Japanese artillery position and shot down Japanese fighter planes." Wang Feng was so excited that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Heavy artillery? 150mm howitzer? Also shot down Japanese fighter planes? Anti-aircraft guns?" With every word Wang Lingyun said, Li Jingyi beside him became more confused.

Is this the equipment a garrison regiment should have?
This is the garrison regiment of the training corps, right?
After Wang Feng finished speaking, Wang Lingyun hung up the phone and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he looked at Li Jingyi and said something at the same time.

"Is this a fucking garrison regiment?"

“Even the Honorary First Division doesn’t have this kind of treatment, right?” Wang Lingyun couldn’t help but complain.

"Definitely not. When we were at Kunlun Pass and wanted to use the 150mm howitzer, we needed Shancheng's signature and approval before we could use it. That's the Fifth Army, the most loyal of the loyal." Li Jingyi also echoed.

"Could it be the illegitimate son of the guy from Shancheng?" Wang Lingyun said subconsciously.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If someone stabs you, you're done for." Li Jingyi quickly scolded, then looked at the other people in the command center, and was relieved to see that everyone pretended not to hear him.

"The commander of the garrison regiment near Liuzhou is Lu Yuhua, right?" Li Jingyi asked again when he saw Wang Lingyun's frightened expression.

"Correct."

"Let me think, before I came here, the people from the Military Control Commission gave me a list. If I remember correctly, it should be the Wuming Lu family. Have you heard of Lu Rongting? He was once the king of Guangdong and Guangxi, but later stepped down and his family was suppressed by Li Bai and Huang." Li Jingyi recalled.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a talented person among the descendants. I'm just curious where he got all these equipments."

"It should have been bought from the Germans. Didn't I say that an arms dealer appeared in Guilin with a large amount of arms?" Wang Lingyun explained.

"I just didn't expect that they even had heavy artillery. Even the Central Army doesn't have many of these heavy artillery."

"These have nothing to do with us. Those are things that the people in the mountain city need to worry about. What we have to do now is to hold our positions and wait for orders from our superiors." Li Jingyi didn't want to care about these things. To him, as a direct descendant, he had the consciousness of being a direct descendant. Moreover, as a person on the edge of the direct descendant, he didn't have much of a future. He didn't seek to make any achievements, but only to avoid making mistakes.

"That's true, but I think we can take this opportunity to recapture Nanning in one go. After all, with the support of heavy artillery, there is still great hope." Wang Lingyun said ambitiously.
