Chapter 706: The people on their side don’t deserve to live
Zhou Weiguo stopped the motorcycle and reached out to take the thing that Chao Xiang Xiuling handed to him.
"The Second Army's troop deployment map." Zhou Weiguo tutted. "That's right. He used to be the commander of the Second Army. After he went to the 2th Army and Mei Jing Meijiro took over as the commander of the Second Army, he didn't make many changes."
The 2nd Army was composed of the 14th and 17th Divisions, the Tanaka Brigade, and the Chahar Detachment.
It consists of six brigades and several aviation squadrons. In addition, there is an army mobilized from the North China Imperial Army to cooperate with them in combat.
In addition to this troop deployment map, two gold bars were also included.
"What does he mean?" asked Chao Xiang Xiuling, shaking the gold bars in her hand.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at the gold bars and said, "Bribe them. They're worried that I might harm him. This time, we have nothing, so how can they be reassured? They gave us the troop deployment map and the gold bars to prevent us from causing trouble for him."
"This bald guy is really interesting. He's not happy that we don't want the things." Chaoxiang Xiuling said.
He didn't even think about it. No step in this plan could go wrong. Although weapons and other things were important, they were not as important as this plan.
It was for this reason that I did not ask for these weapons.
"Alright, he's just a mean-spirited person. Let's ignore him and go back to Baoji first. I guess the independent regiment has arrived by now."
Baoji, Chencang Town, this small town located in the west of Baoji, the originally peaceful life was disrupted by the arrival of the independent regiment.
Chencang is not a military stronghold and there are no troops stationed here. But this time, because a counterattack against the Japanese army was to be launched, Chencang also stationed troops there, and it was the best-equipped independent regiment at the moment.
Countless barefoot people and small vendors stood on both sides of the street, watching the trucks entering the town one after another, and the heavy tanks that crushed the ground and made it tremble. The people watching took several steps back unnaturally.
But they had never seen the cold steel behemoth or the cannons towed behind the truck.
Chencang Town had already received a call from the Baoji Counterattack Headquarters, informing them that the independent regiment would be stationed here, so the location of the headquarters had been arranged long ago.
This is the old house of a local businessman named Li. When the Japanese army approached Baoji, the family entered Jianmen Pass and took refuge in Sichuan. This place was only looked after by a few servants.
Fang Shengli, dusty and exhausted, got out of the car in his military uniform. After taking in the buildings, which looked completely different from those in the south, he said to Dr. Sano, "The north is dry, and the water resources are nowhere near what they are in the south. To avoid causing panic among the local people, except for the special forces company, the tank company, and the medical company stationed in the town, the remaining battalions will be stationed outside. Sun Xinpu's Sixth Battalion will serve as the first line of defense for the regimental headquarters."
Sano Tadayoshi thought about it for a moment and nodded. "I have no objection."
"Then issue the order. Strictly order all departments to go out into the streets to buy what they need and not to bully the people. Those who disobey the order will be subject to military law."
Fang Shengli said this, thought for a moment, and pointed to the courtyard across the street. "Let's station the medical company there. The people in the northwest are tough, so it's inevitable that some of the brave ones will bully these delicate girls. Send a platoon over there to protect them. If anyone is blind, they will be killed."
Someone from the regiment had already come to clean up. When Fang Shengli entered, Du Xiaoyue had already made tea for everyone.
"What are we having for dinner today?" Tadayoshi Sano asked as he sat on a stool after taking a sip of tea.
Fang Shengli stood in front of the map and thought for a moment. "Let's have mutton soup with steamed buns. It's a specialty here. Let's have some for our troops. After all, we're going to have a war soon."
Xiao Ye, who had just entered the quartermaster's office and hadn't even had a sip of water, took a look at the message sent by the regiment headquarters and hummed, "I see. I'll make arrangements later."
This battle is a tough one, and the Independent Regiment will suffer countless casualties. It's not a big deal if the troops have a few days of good food.
It was dusk five days later when Zhou Weiguo arrived in Chencang.
Smoke was already rising from the homes of the people in Chencang Town. After entering the regiment headquarters, Zhao Shoutian immediately went to bring food to Zhou Weiguo and Chao Xiang Xiuling.
While sitting in the yard and eating, Zhou Weiguo was also listening to Fang Shengli talking about what happened after he left.
"Xiao Ya sent a telegram midway, saying they would not be returning for the time being and would follow Chang Guqing to Malacca."
Chaoxiang Xiuling tutted her words. "That's a great place, with a natural harbor and strait, making the people there very wealthy."
Zhou Weiguo had no idea how much money Malacca had, but after thinking about something, he looked up and asked, "Can we get in touch?"
"Sure." Du Xiaoyue responded and then came to Zhou Weiguo. "Captain, what do you want to announce?"
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "Tell her to stir up conflict between the locals and the Japanese army, and with the help of the Japanese army, launch a bloodbath in the area."
I'm crazy.
Fang Shengli almost couldn't hold the cigarette in his hand.
What did the people over there do to provoke Lao Zhou that made Lao Zhou say such a bloody thing?
"Old Zhou, I don't think you've ever been there, so why do you harbor such strong hatred for it? Could it be that someone from there robbed your merchant ship?"
Although your family is the richest in Suzhou, it seems that you don't have such a thing as a caravan.
"They don't deserve to live. It's better for everyone if they die."
Wuuwuwu… Wuuwuwu…
Over the vast sea, a group of seagulls appeared in the sky, startling the huge fleet from the sound of the whistle, and they fled hurriedly towards the horizon.
This fleet consists of two aircraft carriers, four battleships, eight cruisers, five destroyers, four submarines and more than twenty troop transport ships. This huge force set out from the port in central Annan with the aim of capturing Malacca, which is currently occupied by the British.
According to the news, the British South Asia Fleet has mobilized three ships for emergency reinforcement. The fleet there has increased to two battleships and four cruisers. In addition, there is a garrison of up to 23,000 people and more than 40,000 local colonial troops, which is more than twice the strength of the Japanese side.
This time, the troops that set out to deal with them were the Okamura Brigade of the 5th Division and Masao Nakamura's troops.
At this moment, they let the navy fleet escort them in the middle, and the one leading the way in front,
It's the cruiser Izumo.
The Fuso battleship that was mobilized did not have Hase Kiyoshi as the flagship.
In his words to Xiao Ya, he had developed feelings for the Izumo and didn't want to move.
But Takeshita Shun knew that this was not the main reason. The fleet commander did not want his flagship to be big and powerful. The reason why he was unwilling to move was, firstly, because Hase Kiyoshi was not familiar with the officers and soldiers on the battleship Fuso, and secondly, he was worried that Xiao Ya had some bad intentions.
