Chapter 90: Battle of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou ③

Xundian Army Camp in the northwest of Xundian City. This is the secret residence of the Second Brigade. Since entering the city overnight, all the daily supplies of food, vegetables and other items obtained from the county seat have been purchased according to the size of the previous battalion. Those old buyers and soldiers. Only at late night will additional secret supplies be made.
Everyone felt the tension before the war. Although no one knew when the battle would begin, officers and men of the Second Brigade still looked forward to it day after day. The 2nd Brigade is the old foundation of the militia. About 20% of the officers and men have a career of professional soldiers for seven or eight years. The entire commander system has undergone several orderly adjustments in the past few years. The above commanders are all four-year graduates from Huaxia Military Academy. Even brigade commander Chen Jun and instructor Ye Maolong each entered Huaxia Military Academy on a rotating basis, and completed the infantry command course of Huaxia Military Academy in more than three years. (There is no half-year field training period.)
At daybreak, the second brigade running the morning exercise was called off and still training in the high wall. In addition to repeating some tactical actions, more physical training was performed. The experience of the Civilian Regiment. During the war, these professional soldiers often had very good military qualities. What they needed to do was not to sharpen their guns, but to keep their best physical fitness until the moment they entered the battlefield.
Because the second brigade will not be a defensive force, but an assault force like an iron fist.
"Cui Ziqiang !!"
"Have!"
Cui Ziqiang, the platoon leader of the battalion who is performing physical training in the platoon, heard the sound and knew that the commander with a big voice came, and turned around sharply, saluting his legs together.
However, the company commander actually carried two recruits carrying marching bags. Judging from the epaulets on his uniform, he was actually a student of two Huaxia military schools.
A long commander Qiao Sheng first glanced at some fighters who were doing push-ups in situ, and found that everyone was not confused by their arrival. They nodded with satisfaction, thinking that in case someone messed up, he was a top student in these two military schools. In front of him, he was ashamed.
"Dai Anlan, Wang Gongliang!" Qiao Pusheng retorted, shouting.
"Here! Dai Anlan, Commander of the Eighth Infantry Command of Huaxia Military Academy!"
"Here! Wang Gongliang, the eighth infantry commander of the Huaxia Military Academy!"
The two military academy students' legs were brought together, and Lisuo respected a standard military salute, at least no less than Cui Ziqiang. Cui Ziqiang secretly said, obediently, I did not expect that two new trainees of the Frontline could be welcomed before the war. Count the time again, the eighth period? Aren't they students who entered the school in 1923? How did he enlist in the army in 1924 for a field training course?
If these two military academies look from the outside, the dark skin is usually hard work at first glance. Although the calluses on the fingers close together are not as thick as the veterans in the row, as a trainee of the eighth period, it is already very rare.
"Cui Ziqiang, the first platoon leader of the first battalion of the first battalion of the first battalion of the Second Regiment of the Second Brigade, welcomes two students!"
Hearing that Cui Ziqiang reported his position without cutting corners, Qiao Pusheng nodded. Although Cui Ziqiang was not as good as other company platoon leaders, he was good at learning. Although he had barely passed the text test when he graduated from Huaxia Military Academy, the actual evaluation was Take all excellent. In addition to advanced military thinking, these grass-roots commanders of the military academy also have a meticulous military style.
"Cui Ziqiang, I'll leave these two student soldiers to you. You can give them a good training!" Qiao Pusheng instructed that these two sophomore students entered the army through the fire line, which is actually the meaning above. This time, a group of second-year and third-year trainees who had not reached the field training time were recruited into the army. Although others were unclear, Qiao Pusheng knew something. The main force came out to Xundian. The war was imminent. The superior seemed to want to take this rare opportunity to test and train a group of outstanding students. This can be seen from the fact that the infantry commanders and artillery scientists are basically sent.
"Yes, resolutely complete the task!" Cui Ziqiang saluted the task.
After Qiao Pusheng left, Cui Ziqiang talked to the two individually, "Although you two are trainee recruits, I will not have extra care for you, and of course there will be no requirements. I only have one command: All obey orders !! "
"Yes!!"
"Very good. Now drop your packages and do 200 push-ups."
After finishing talking, Cui Ziqiang went back to stare at the three classes under his training. These two recruits had the right to speak to themselves after they had completed 200 push-ups. What he didn't see was that instead of being half dissatisfied, Dai Anlan and Wang Gongliang looked at each other, revealing some joy, and it seemed that they were right this time, and they were not put on the reserve forces.

"It's busy here!"
In Xundian City, a teahouse upstairs, two tea-sitters sitting on the street are drinking tea while watching the bustling street below.
"Yes."
The two people who spoke in Chinese were not outsiders, but they were Okamura Ningji and Miyai Nagao posing in Xundian County.
A pair of eagle eyes of Okamura Ningji was sweeping around the streets of the county seat, occasionally staying on the goods sold by the vendors, occasionally on the clothes of passersby, and occasionally on the bicycle that passed by on. The bustling street scene reflects a different spirit in his eyes.
The two people are seated in a relatively remote place, and normal speaking is not hindered, and others cannot hear.
"This prefecture is more prosperous than we thought!" Miyai Naoxiong saw Okamura Ningji's gaze sweeping across the street, deliberately pondered for a moment, knowing that he could not answer hastily, and then he said his true truth Sorry.
"It's almost enough to catch up with some smaller cities near Tokyo. In my imagination, Xundian should have the size of a single town." Okamura Ningji said with a dignified look, there were many things he didn't say, such as the shop counter. The small pieces of merchandise displayed may not be known to Miyai, but he has seen them in the United States. That's new lighters, new straight-through flashlights, and daily necessities. And the clothing of pedestrians is quite different from the bulky cotton and linen clothes worn by ordinary Chinese people he is used to, but a kind of familiar fabric that seems to have been seen in China. There is also a uniquely shaped bicycle that is much stronger than those bulky goods on the streets of Tokyo in China.
He never imagined that in a small county in Dongchuan District, there would be these industrial products that even the Great Japanese Empire could not see. It is no wonder that the intelligence returned by the agents respects the technological development and industrial system of Dongchuan District.
For this Southwest plan, Okamura Ningji was originally more in the interests of military and strategic directions, but now he has more expectations for the industrial system in Dongchuan District. Maybe he can follow the trend. Obtaining a batch of advanced production technology and equipment may also be uncertain. From the perspective of intelligence, he was very curious about Zhang Shusheng, who had bought technology and equipment from abroad. He did not expect that in this backward and ignorant country, some people could realize the great power of science and technology.
Unfortunately, he will become an ant who was crushed to death by a Japanese chariot under the plan of the Southwestern Empire of the Japanese Empire. In his plan, Zhang Shusheng was not the point, it was just an excuse to win over Tang Jiyao.
"Let's go, let's go somewhere else." Ningji Okamura was more casual about Miyai's caution.
The two left the teahouse, walked around at will, and came to an alley, and saw several horse carriages in the distance passing by under the of several soldiers. It's full of cabbage. Passers-by gave way, Okamura Ningji also let aside
Okamura Ningji moved in his heart, approached an old man, and put on the most innocent smile on his face, and asked, "Mr. Old, why are there so many dishes today, I'm afraid it will take thousands of people."
"No more, no more. Being a soldier is very tiring. Of course, you need to have plenty of food. Before, there were so many dishes."
"Eh? Is that so much before?"
"Yeah. The big guys are counting on more troops. If there is more food, there must be more troops. Don't let the south enter the city again." The old man said casually, but did not find Okamura Ning This time left with a look of contemplation.

"Mr. Okamura is here, Tang has a long way to go."
Tang Jiyao's mansion went to the backyard. Two men in the uniforms of the Dian Military Academy were sitting opposite Tang Jiyao, drinking Xiangxiang.
"Where and where, the Overseer's military affairs are busy and disturbing." Okamura Ningji chuckled while drinking tea. "I don't know how the Overseer's troops are organized?"
Tang Jiyao scolded himself, your Japanese military instructors were sent to the company-level troops below Lao Tzu, and the reorganization plan was set by you. Will you not know the specific situation?
"The reorganization plan currently completed is three divisions of the Dian Army and one and a half divisions of the Qian Army. Hehe, the progress is a little slower."
Okamura Ningji put down his tea cup, stared at Tang Jiyao and said, "To be precise, it is the weapons and equipment that have been sent down."
"Mr. Okamura knows that although the Dian Army and Guizhou Army have nearly 100,000 children, the selection of soldiers took a long time. However, with the help of the outstanding soldiers of the Japanese Empire, the two divisions of the Dian Army Half of the divisions with the Qian Army have changed tremendously, and they can be called domestic elites. "Tang Jiyao did not brag about this. In his opinion, the original troops were half soldiers and half afraid of bandits. The Japanese instructor was really severe. In three months, he had trained the two divisions who had been organized in advance to be decent, shot accurately, and had a good military posture. According to his early studies in Japan, the two Although this division does not meet the standards of the Japanese division, it is definitely not comparable to domestic warlords. For three months, the Japanese instructors who were like the king of the king did indeed train a little after killing a batch of soldiers.
Okamura said calmly, "I am here this time with an oral notice from the military ministry. If your ministry cannot complete the basic staffing of the remaining divisions within the next month. Then the equipment of the next few divisions will not be delivered to you. You must know that in order to support this huge amount of weapons, the empire has gone to great lengths. "
Indeed, in order to support this batch of weapons, the Japanese tried their best. The equipment of several divisions promised verbally has until now been urgently transported to the light equipment of the two divisions through various channels. Although these were to be paid by Tang Jiyao himself and exchanged for things, it was not easy to get enough of these weapons. With Japan's national strength, it will take some time to make up the light and heavy weapons of the two divisions. The military department also evacuated the old domestic inventory and replaced the equipment of a second-class division.
Tang Jiyao secretly said that the Japanese were afraid to play tricks.
However, he also knows that the Southwest is not like the Great Northwest. Japanese weapons can be smuggled into Yunnan and Guizhou through water and land transportation, such as the Yangtze River, and it really took a lot of thought. In his opinion, now that there are two divisions of full Japanese-style equipment, he can eat Zhang Shusheng himself.
"Mr. Okamura rest assured that, although our department is poorly equipped, the assembled weapons can still be equipped with two or three inferior divisions. As long as there are two Japanese divisions and three ordinary divisions, I promise to eat the entire southwest. Damn it. "
Tang Jiyao was so arrogant that he was afraid that the Japanese would question his ability, which would affect the overall situation and had to make concessions. "As for the remaining equipment, Okamura can completely report to your minister, and you can wait for the occupation of Guangxi and then transport it from the sea. Arrived. "
"Yoo West! Governor Tang is indeed the spokesperson for the Southwest selected by the Great Japanese Empire."
Okamura Ningji secretly said to himself that you old fox would not dare to rebel against the Japanese Empire. With the power of the empire, the equipment of the seven divisions was indeed not enough for a short time, let alone shipped to Yunnan. The old fox knew him at first, otherwise he would not ask the military to bring some equipment first. And in order to ensure the success of the plan, Okamura Ningji also brought together the old weapons of the two divisions and sent them by all means.
As for guns and artillery, after the Great Japanese Empire established an ordnance factory in Fangchenggang, you can naturally use those iron mines in Guangxi to build those weapons.
As the plan maker and executor, Okamura Ningji asked himself not to be as embarrassed as the Kwantung Army. As long as Tang Jiyao obeys, the equipment of the seven divisions will be given to him. Rather than make the same mistake again, turn Southwest into a weak and disobedient Zhang Zuolin.

"District Chief, why is the timing of this battle set to be around March next year?" Jiang Baili was very surprised. He clearly discovered Tang Jiyao's traitorous incident in advance, but did not expose it in advance ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but waited for Japan. Armed with Tang Jiyao, he has now armed the two Japanese divisions with two divisions.
Zhang Shusheng rarely smiled. "Tang Jiyao's betrayal is an iron fact. Intelligence personnel have found out that the Japanese can help him to arm the Japanese division of two divisions at most. It is difficult to create a climate. Others are fighting snakes and fighting seven inches. , But I want a hammer to break the snake head. "
"Originally! This is also the case. At present, the situation in the country is changing abruptly, and the big brother in the south is more and more critically ill. Maybe this will be an opportunity for us." With Jiang Baili's strategic vision and the domestic situation, it was instant I thought of Zhang Shusheng's consideration.
Yes, it is easy to order the militias to rush out of Xundian and attack Kunming easily. However, in this way, it is difficult to maximize the benefits. It is an iron fact that Tang Jiyao sold his country, but the democratic groups also need him as a stepping stone.
After Jiang Baili left, Zhang Shusheng asked Mao Yun to call the person in charge of the military command department. "You have distributed this training course about removing some reserve forces to participate in earthquake prevention and disaster reduction as military orders."
"Yes!!"
Time passed quickly, and it was late February 1925. (!)
