Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1607

For the Chinese people, the last month of 1940 was a festive month worth remembering forever.With the efforts of the Xuebing Army and the help of the Americans, a total of more than 200 Chinese escaped from the clutches of the Japanese army and returned to the motherland.After nearly [-] years of silence, China, an ancient oriental civilization that once had a huge influence on more than half of the world, once again straightened its body and told the world with a resounding voice: a responsible big country should How to treat your own expats.

The "Singapore-Malaysian Chinese Rescue" has therefore become a textbook for other countries when dealing with similar incidents. Of course, Ouyang Yun, the main initiator, did not expect this.Just when the whole of Guangzhou was enthusiastically engaged in welcoming the Chinese from Singapore and Malaysia, he left Phnom Penh and took nearly three divisions to Poipet, a border town between Cambodia and Thailand.

After the two Song-class ships sank the "Kaga" aircraft carrier of the Japanese Western Expedition Fleet, one heavy cruiser and one frigate each, they returned to the Haikou base on the 18th.On the same day, under the leadership of Percival, the British army in Singapore surrendered to the Japanese army.

The scapegoat of the Xuebing Army is not easy to bear. Since the "Kaga" was sunk by a "British submarine" torpedoed, the Japanese army has stepped up its offensive on land. The morale of the British army was once inspired by Percival , Under the fierce offensive of the Japanese army, it quickly disappeared.Some captains of the Japanese army refused the surrender of the small British army out of revenge. By the 17th, the British army had lost nearly 3000 men in just five days, at least [-] of whom were surrendered after giving up resistance. The Japanese army stabbed to death or killed the owl.That night, after counting the number of casualties, Percival was worried that more British soldiers would die in battle, so he reported to the base camp and asked for approval to surrender unconditionally.

The British government was completely discouraged at this time, and Churchill approved Percival's report while cursing.As soon as the British army in Singapore surrendered, Wavell's pressure suddenly increased.Percival handed over his command knife to Hashimoto Jun on the front foot, and he shrunk the defense line on the back foot, withdrawing all the British Indian troops to Songkhla Province, Thailand.And considering that the Japanese army can launch three-sided attacks by sea, land and air at the same time with its powerful naval power, he has no confidence in defeating the Japanese army at all. He not only ordered the entire Eastern Fleet of Mosavier to withdraw into the Sea of ​​Bengal, but also began to attack in Phetchaburi, Thailand and Burma. The old established a line of defense, wanting to use the wide depth of the rear to fight the Japanese army to the death, so as to prevent the Japanese army from entering the depths of Thailand and Burma.

The Northeast Army participated in the construction of this line of defense. After Ouyang Yun learned of this situation, he immediately concluded that the British could not hold this line of defense, so he reminded Wan Fulin not to spend too much force on the At the same time, it decided to put the headquarters in Poipet to prevent the Japanese army from forcibly landing in the Gulf of Thailand.

The current distribution of troops of the Xuebing Army is that Huang Haifu's first mountain division is stationed in Hanoi to ensure the smooth flow of logistics and supply channels for the Xuebing Army; Guo Da's old first division stayed in Phnom Penh; Ouyang Yun took the second and third mountain divisions and the troops directly under him to Poipet.

On the 21st, the Japanese army attacked Songkhla with Hashimoto Jun's 22rd Marine Division as the main force.Grab it in one day. On the 150nd, the troops of the two divisions of the British army drove straight in, advancing 23 kilometers in one day and night, and advancing the front to Nakhon Si Thammarat and Krabi Province. On the 150rd, the Japanese army continued their efforts, and under the cover of two bomber brigades and a fighter brigade, they marched another [-] kilometers and approached Ranong, Thailand.

It is worth mentioning that during this process, three divisions of the so-called Thai garrison and two divisions of the British army surrendered without a fight, and three of the Thai divisions were directly incorporated into the so-called The Southeast Asian National Independence Army played the pioneering role of the Japanese army.

By the 26th, the front of the Japanese army had already approached the Fo-Lao defense line. At this time, Wavell had only assembled 12 British troops, [-] Thai troops, and [-] Indian troops on the Fo-lao defense line.Of course, counting the Northeast Army of the two divisions, Wavell has already assembled an army of [-].

Pobie, the new headquarters and military base of the Soldier Expeditionary Force have finally been completed.In Ouyang Yun's office, Ouyang Yun, Guo Kui, Huang Hua, Bao Jun, commander of the Second Mountain Division, Bian Jiansheng, commander of the Third Mountain Division, Wang Changlong, commander of the United Brigade, and others gathered around a huge sand table, They were discussing the battlefield situation with the battle report just sent back from the front line.

"If the 12 people are united, they can survive for at least three months. After all, behind the Buddha's line of defense is a wide rear, which is very convenient for supply and dispatch—" Huang Hua was the first to speak.

As the brigade commander of the Western Expedition Special Artillery Brigade, Huang Hua was a young officer trained by Ouyang Yun.The Xizheng Special Artillery Brigade has an air-to-air special warfare department and a rocket artillery brigade. It is the king of firepower output in the Xizheng Scholar Army.Under Ouyang Yun's deliberate actions, the current development trend of the Xuebing Army is following the path of modernization.The trend is not to emphasize the number of troops, but to focus on the effectiveness of unit firepower output.

After Huang Hua finished speaking his opinion, he looked at Ouyang Yun expectantly.Before Ouyang Yun could speak, Guo Kui interjected, "Three months, I think I'd be thankful if I could defend for a month. It's unbelievable that more than 3 troops surrendered without a fight."

Wang Changlong: "I agree with Commander Guo. Wars are not just about numbers of people. The key lies in the quality of the troops. As far as I know, the air forces of the British Air Force and the Japanese-Western Expeditionary Fleet have been defeated several times and three times. Lost. Now, Wavell still has a maximum of one hundred planes in his hands. And if he loses the air supremacy, hehe, it is estimated that Buddha will be a Singapore again."

Huang Hua frowned.Ouyang Yun looked at Bao Jun and Bian Jiansheng, and said, "You two also talk about it."

Baojun is from the Li nationality, and Bian Jiansheng is from the Gaoshan tribe.It was not the first time for the two of them to participate in such a high-level military meeting, but neither of them had yet adapted to the atmosphere.After being called by the commander-in-chief, both of them blushed.After they looked at each other, Bao Jun first said: "Since it is the commander-in-chief's order, I will talk about it. I don't think the issue you discussed is actually important. Moreover, you have overlooked a very important issue."

Baojun's nonsense can be described as a blockbuster.Everyone's eyes turned to him, even Ouyang Yun couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Bao Jun's face turned redder, but his voice became louder: "I think so, we are worried about this war, and what we care about is actually how much time the British can buy us and how much time they can consume. It’s just the Japanese army. But judging from recent information, the Japanese established the so-called Southeast Asian National Independence Army and recruited many locals as strong men. So I don’t think this issue is important anymore. The natives of Southeast Asia have resentment towards the British Yes, if the Japanese use some more tricks, they will definitely be able to make them willing to sacrifice their lives. At that time, the British army may be defeated without the Japanese. One more thing, because of the commander-in-chief’s ultimatum, the British are now actually It is also our enemy. So, so, I think the war between Britain and Japan is more like a dog eats a dog—”
