Chapter 749: Seize the Independent Regiment, I wish they would go
"Miss, with the US mediating, our imperial army will not launch attacks on Burma and other places. The headquarters can only adjust its plan and attack the mountain city. How can the mountain city be resisted?"
Nanzō Yunko lifted her teacup and smiled, "It's very simple. The British side will definitely not agree to this."
In Xi'an City, the military's emergency mobilization order was delivered to Fang Shengli.
Since Zhou Weiguo and others left, Fang Shengli, Sano Tadayoshi, Kuroki Ichiro and others have been responsible for the overall operation of the independent regiment.
After the Japanese army evacuated Xi'an, the independent regiment entered Xi'an as a city defense force and served as the city defense reserve force.
"Urgent deployment of the Ninth War Zone." Fang Shengli handed the telegram to Sano Tadayoshi after reading it and asked, "What happened? Why do we suddenly need to deploy the defense of the Ninth War Zone?"
"I'm afraid something serious has happened. Let's gather the troops first." Sano Tadayoshi drew a circle on the map. "This location is suitable for gathering troops."
Fang Shengli nodded and said to Du Xiaoyue, who was not far away. "Xiaoyue, issue the order. All battalions will assemble immediately at Area 4. The anti-aircraft company will take the lead and make preparations for defense."
What happened?
Fang Shengli had a vague feeling that a great war was brewing, but he didn't know why.
"Damn, the Independent Regiment has never received such a hasty emergency deployment since its establishment. What happened in the south?"
"It's very simple. Because of the US intervention, the Japanese army has temporarily stopped attacking Southeast Asia and South Asia. They will launch a new round of attacks on us."
The answer from outside the door made several people look over at the same time.
Xiao Ya, wearing a light white women's shirt, walked in accompanied by Nan Zaomingming, Alice and a strange man.
"You're back." Shen Xin greeted him with a smile. Seeing that it was the lady who came in, Jinxiu immediately went to prepare tea for everyone.
"Yeah, I'm back." Xiao Ya and Shen Xin hugged each other and pointed to the next room; "I'll change my clothes first."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and pointed at Takahashi Ichi in triumph, "Prepare a captain's uniform for him. He's my guard and adjutant."
"Okay." Fang Shengli immediately went to make arrangements. When he came back, Xiao Ya and others had already changed into their military uniforms.
Gao Qiaoyi took the general's uniform and went to the next room. Fang Shengli came to Xiao Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, what did you mean just now? What did you mean by them not attacking for the time being?"
Hey……
Xiao Ya sighed and sat down nearby. "Originally, their forces were already gathering, and the First Squadron of the Third Fleet was already loading coal, but the US is threatening the Japanese with war at this time. If they launch an attack, they will declare war."
"How insidious." Fang Shengli slammed the table; "These bastards."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Commander Bai has already gone to Hengyang in advance. We also need to gather and prepare here. I think we will have a fierce battle."
Hengyang City.
The commander of the Ninth War Zone returned to the headquarters. Commander Bai immediately convened a meeting of senior officers at the army level and ordered the Ninth War Zone to prepare for combat orders.
"We don't have enough troops, and several of our elite main forces have been transferred out. Once the 11th Army launches a full-scale attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it." Commander Xue was worried.
The 5th Army was transferred to Guangxi, and the 74th Army went to Shaanxi. In the hands of the Ninth War Zone, except for the 10th, 71st, 53rd and other central armies, the rest were either the Guangxi Army or the Sichuan Army. They had sufficient manpower, but were seriously short of heavy weapons.
"I've telegraphed the Shancheng Command, requesting the 74th Army return urgently. Furthermore, the two main armies of the Gui Army are on their way. There's still time for everything."
Commander Bai took a sip of tea and looked at Xue Bolin. "You go to Jiangxi and take charge of Jiangxi's military affairs. The old method is to hold back two of his divisions in the Jiangxi battlefield. You don't have to worry about things here."
"Okay, I'll leave right away." Commander Xue took the military cap, put it on his head, then turned and left.
As soon as he left, Chief of Staff Wu approached Commander Bai. "We just received word that the 11th Army, under the chairmanship of Anami Korechika, has convened an emergency military meeting in Changsha. Apparently, they've received the operational order from headquarters."
"They're coming with great force, and this time they're well prepared. We must stop their attack. Only by stopping this wave can the situation be eased. Otherwise, we'll become the guilty ones."
Chief of Staff Wu nodded. "What you said is true, sir. Only by blocking this wave can we break through. I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just worried about one thing. If something goes wrong here, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."
Commander Bai chuckled. "That's why I called back the 74th Army."
Chief of Staff Wu also understood this, but he frowned and said, "It's not too late."
Commander Bai stood up and walked towards the map, saying to the several staff officers standing in front of it, "Northern map."
Several staff officers immediately took action and spread the map on the table.
"I have ordered the 74th Army to go through Shanxi, thus avoiding a detour from the mountain city."
"I'm afraid Yan Laoxi won't agree. That man has a very tight control over Shanxi. The 14th Group Army was able to enter because they couldn't hold it back any longer. That's why he let them in. The 74th Army is the main force of the Central Army, especially the independent regiment. It's well-equipped and can withstand a main division. How could he let the 74th Army pass through there without any hesitation?"
"He has no say in this matter. The situation is critical right now. Area 74 here connects to Jiangxi. If the Japanese occupy it, the Ninth War Zone will be split in two. If they hold out on one hand and encircle the troops in Jiangxi on the other, the entire province of Jiangxi will fall into the hands of the Japanese. I'm still waiting for the th Army to arrive and take charge. If he makes trouble in this matter, he will be a sinner of this country."
Chief of Staff Wu did not deny this. Anyone who dared to step forward would be punished.
"That's true, but this person is very sinister. He is also a jealous person. Will he see that the independent regiment is well-equipped and ask for too much?"
The equipment of the independent regiment is so good that not only the local troops but even the central army would be jealous of them.
Since Taiyuan was occupied by the Japanese army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's arsenal has been occupied by the Japanese army, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's weapons and equipment can no longer be used lavishly as before.
Not to mention the mouth-watering equipment like tanks, they even want heavy machine guns.
What if these people become jealous and attack the Independent Regiment?
Humph……
Commander Bai snorted coldly, his hands behind his back. "I wish he would just go and ask for too much, robbing the thieves. How could they possibly have a good life?"
