Chapter 100: Goal: Sunless Empire

Qiongzhen is located in the central area of ​​Ruili, on the north side of the Tropic of Cancer, and belongs to a humid subtropical monsoon climate in the south. The area under the jurisdiction is basically mountainous terrain and the river network is vertical and horizontal, which is not conducive to rapid assault by large troops.
After completing the blocking task extremely hard and making the village behind him safe to move, Dai Anlan led the remnants to retreat to the town of Qiongzhen. This is the defense line of the third division of the Second Division of Yunnan Weiji Division.
The intelligence sent back by Dai Anlan's company radio station made the second division of the Guardian Division move. The Third Regiment directly chose the town Zhen, a must-go place for the British army, to arrange the line of defense and wait for the division. The main force came.
"Dai Anlan!"
When Dai Anlan, who was bandaging the wound on the face of the medical clinic, heard the shout, he knew that his commander, Qiao Pu, was born. The commander was not bear-like, but he was transferred from the main force to the health guard. He asked Dai Anlan to come here, he was specially promoted, and he became a company commander.
In fact, with the results of the special students of Huaxia Military Academy, Dai Anlan is very outstanding. However, unlike the local warlord forces, the Southwest Army is an out-and-out elite division. The main forces are all trained for many years. Based on his actual combat experience, it is impossible to enter the Guard Division. Even among the three main divisions, he is also the deputy platoon leader at best.
As soon as the words fell, Qopson took several people into the medical clinic.
"Reporting to the commander, the island blocking task was successfully completed." After returning to the regiment station, Dai Anlan only reported the results of the battle to the battalion commander. He did not expect that the commander actually ran to see himself in person, which made him somewhat embarrassed. I did not see who was behind the leader.
"Li Zheng, salute !!"
Qiao Sheng walked into the clinic without caring about the others, but turned around and stood by the door, saluting those who came in behind. Dai Anlan, who graduated from Huaxia Military Academy, jumped in his heart, and the superiors came? Subconsciously is a saluting side by side.
He only knew one of the few people who came in, and he was still a person that he could never forget.
"Dai Anlan, the second company commander of the second battalion of the second battalion of the third division of the second division of the Yunnan Health Division, reported to the principal !!"
Dai Anlan's whole person was like being struck by lightning. Actually, it was Zhang Shusheng, principal Zhang, who came to the front line, and his heartbeat speeded up for a while. The whole person's blood burned from his feet to the head, boiling.
For Zhang Shusheng, Dai Anlan had a very special feeling. At the time when he was not old enough and could not even obtain his identity certificate, he was the only one in the whole group who approved himself to apply for political review after the first privilege. Otherwise, he himself I will definitely miss that session, and now, I won't beat the British in Ruili anymore, I should still listen to the instructor in class. Of course, what the principal did in the next two or three years made him truly worship.
Like the exchange between military school students, this principal will bring real hope to this rundown and troubled nation. And he, as a little follower of him, will embark on the road of fighting for the nation.
"Well, I haven't seen you for a few years. Your small hairy head was also a company commander. It's not bad. I heard that you took the company with the British just now." Zhang Shusheng first looked around the battlefield medical center and found the environment Very neat, many medical devices are neatly arranged, some standing medicaments are even more abundant, the wound on Dai Anlan's face has been simply bandaged, and a piece of gauze has been pasted.
"Report to the principal, our second battle lasted six hours, blocking an Indian battalion's offensive. But the troop casualties were relatively large ..." Speaking of troop casualties, Dai Anlan, the company commander, still bowed his head with some guilt, everyone hopes A great victory, but the fact is that in the face of the poorly trained Indian battalion, the company still suffered a loss from the British Hill Cannon.
"The Guardian Division is a newly reorganized unit. I am very satisfied with this performance. Do you have any thoughts or discoveries after this battle? Tell the principal!" Zhang Shusheng comforted, there is no casualty in the battle. The well-trained army is also composed of people, not heaven and earth. What he wanted to hear was the front-line battle report from Dai Anlan himself, which was not the most intuitive manifestation in the battlefield report.
Dai Anlan saw a large group of officers who didn't know him waiting and said to himself, Colonel Light had several colonels and even a major general. Although he didn't recognize it, the young man's fierce energy made him full of confidence. "This time we played with the Indian battalion. From the perspective of skin color, this unit is mainly composed of Indians and white descendants, but the officers are all British. Their infantry single weapon is basically the same as ours. Lee Enfield Type rifles, flower grenades, but no sharpshooters. This battalion also has fewer mortars, but instead has a hill artillery company. The Indian battalion's training is not even as good as ours, if not their mountain artillery caused us too much damage. , Relying on the superior terrain, a company veteran oil can be able to prevent them from attacking for at least a day ... "
After listening to Dai Anlan's briefing, Zhang Shusheng nodded, which was similar to the Indian battalion he remembered. The Indian army has repeatedly proven that it is not good at fighting in the future. It is their profession to bully and fear. Although the Guardian Division is a newly reorganized army, it is not like other Chinese warlords who just pull a few bandits to form. It is a combination of trained reserve forces and experienced veterans of the Dian Army and Gui Army.
Of course, Dai Anlan's command on the battlefield is also good. When encountering various attack methods of British officers, he can come up with a solution. In addition, there are many advantages in soldier training quality, mountain topography, and local operations. This small battle with fewer wins and more battles is considered to be very representative.
This time Zhang Shusheng rushed to Ruili's front line, not for vacation, but intended to organize a crucial battle in Ruili. This led Zhuge Sheng, the second division instructor of the Weiyang Division, and Tie Sangan, the division chief, rushed to Qizhen. Zhang Shusheng landed from Kunming to Ruili's temporary airport, while Zhuge Sheng and others were lightly on the road and walked in front of the main force of the Second Division.
"Dai Anlan, now the principal has a ready-made exam for you.
From the intelligence point of view, the British plan for the southwest battle will be the British Fourth Division in India, the British Royal Gurkha Regiment, the British Fifth Indian Division and an Indian independent brigade. The total number of people is more than 30,000.
So, as a first-time sniper, what will you choose to do? "
Dai Anlan pondered for a long time, even took out the small map in the march bag, and stroked it with a pen on it, and then raised his head in a while, saying, "The most difficult thing for the British is their fourth division. As long as we can defeat this force, then I think we can concentrate our superior forces and give the British a painful lesson. "
This kid still has a hand. Zhang Shusheng nodded secretly. Although it seems a little young, but in terms of his age and experience, it is very good. "The British rely on not only their fourth division, but also this special area. The Royal Gurkha Regiment who came to mountain warfare was a field force. Based on comprehensive information, the British did not know much about our Southwest Army. In their opinion, a tens of thousands of people Troops are enough to hit Kunming !!!
Of course, if you look at the troops of Zhang Shuai in the northeast, or several troops in Guangdong, their tens of thousands of troops even seem too much.
Therefore, you are right, all we have to do is concentrate our superior forces and give the British an unexpected lesson. "
This is also Zhang Shusheng's most important purpose on this front.
The construction of the Southwest is imminent. Once the British are driven in, this foundation will be over. The front line of Ruili is already the bottom line of the war against Britain.
What Zhang Shusheng had to do was very simple. After taking the backbone of the staff to the front line, he came up with the final battle plan. When he came to Ruili, the intelligence gathered from various aspects strengthened his thinking. In any case, even if he took risks, he would have to give the British a painful lesson.
"As this early blocking force, I have brought you a lot of good things. The second company has worked hard. Chief Zhuge has to give priority to supplies." Zhang Shusheng gave Dai Anlan a little care before leaving. He came this time, and the bomber unit that accompanied the team brought a batch of mortars and infantry guns that were in short supply of the Second Division. Although it was too difficult to transport the aircraft, the number was not large, but it could use the firepower of the Second Division Improve the level a bit.
It wasn't until Zhang Shusheng left that Dai Anlan put down his saluting hands and found that the palms of his hands were sweaty. He couldn't help laughing at himself, it was really nervous to face the idols.
"... Teacher Iron Division, Instructor Zhuge, this time your second division must come up with a stance that the main force is desperately blocking. We cannot give the British any chance to divide the troops, you just have to drag them a little bit, you have to drag them These tens of thousands of people have attracted me. "
Although the front line of Ruili Town is the fastest way to enter Kunming and the route with good traffic, Zhang Shusheng is still reluctant to take big risks. Only by putting on a stance of resisting the enemy, British talents will not risk the danger of being blocked by the blocking forces and go to Kunming.
"Chairman, rest assured. I have Tiesan doing it. Regardless of whether he is an Englishman or an Indian, don't think about it." Tiesangan is not very talkative. After two words, he looked at Zhuge Sheng.
"Even if the main force cannot arrive in time, the Second Division will drag on the enemy." Zhu Gesheng simply stated his position. This elegant bandit-born instructor was extremely strict. Although the army had been transferred several times, the soldiers he had brought were very convinced.
Zhang Shusheng: "Well, Ruili's field airport will be one of the hole cards for this battle in Gaozhen. Up to one squadron of bombers will be deployed there to provide you with air fire support."
"Great!" Zhuge Sheng and Tie Sangan couldn't help overjoying. Originally, I thought this was a deadly battle of stone to stone. I didn't expect the chairman's plan was so thorough. Even the air force was stationed in a temporary field airport. It seems this time It is really necessary to mobilize the main forces to give the British a lesson that they will never forget.
Then, with the participation of Zhang Shusheng, the main officers of the UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Second Division took up their baton and fiddled with the actual combat sandbox before they reached a consensus on this blocking operation.
Zhang Shusheng said solemnly: "The meaning of the General Staff is similar to everyone's opinion. One of the most important preparations for this blocking operation is to build fortifications. The British division, the vanguard of the British, will arrive here at the latest tomorrow afternoon. You have one day left. I can tell you clearly that the magnitude of this battle will be unprecedented. Not only the main force, but even the guards formed during the same period will send troops to participate in the war. I hope you Do not let me down!!"
"Yes!!"
The second division mainly refers to the saluting of the combatants. Although the second division cannot do otherwise, the trenches are not worse than the main force. The important training subject of the reserve forces at that time was to dig field trenches. One engineer shovel and one dug and trained for several years. As for the veterans of the Dian Army and the Gui Army, most of them were farmers, and they worked as models There is something. Not to mention those main forces, even this guard division, is not necessarily worse than the Germans' ability to excavate fortifications.
"Our goal is to teach the arrogant Sunburst Empire an unforgettable lesson."
Zhang Shu was determined to say. (!)
