The War of Resistance Begins with the Regiment Leader - Chapter 244

Chapter 244 Let me show you what the Fourth Division is! (First update!)

Seeing Alberts’ confused expression, Cun Yunsheng did not explain, but asked him to leave first.

 After the other party left, Meng Fan asked in confusion.

 “Doesn’t this Alberts know the real reason for this matter?”

“It looks like he doesn’t know, otherwise he wouldn’t have said such a thing.” Cun Yunsheng shook his head, and then sneered.

“Basically, it can be judged that this matter should have been leaked by someone close to Alberts, and Turkey’s actions should have the tacit approval of Britain and the United States.”

“Then next, the Soviet army should transfer troops from the Far East to the Eastern Front to make up for the lack of troops on the Eastern Front.”

“The situation became more chaotic, and two neutral countries were involved in the war.”

“This war has been fought, and we must take action next.”

“Now the whole world’s attention is on Persia, and the attention on us will be much smaller.”

Hearing this, Meng Fan was stunned for a moment and then asked.

“Tanzuo, didn’t you say you have to wait for a while?”

“No wait, Lao Duan told me that the soldiers have been trained and there is no point in further training. They need to see blood.” Cun Yunsheng shook his head.

“I thought about it for a while and felt that what he said made sense, so let him try the combat effectiveness of the new regiment. This can also be regarded as the first battle of our task force.”

 “Aren’t you worried?” Meng Fan looked curious.

Who knows, Cun Yunsheng seemed very calm.

“The French army is not as strong as you think. It could have been taken down in one go, but considering our lack of troops, we suspended the attack.”

“What’s more, the indigenous people don’t have much combat effectiveness. From Li Wula’s feedback, we can see that military training is of little significance. They are bombarded by artillery and infantry every day. They are no different from the Japanese army.”

Hearing this, Meng Fangliao looked at Cun Yunsheng in surprise and joked.

“Tanzuo, you hated the Japanese army’s tactics so much back then.”

 “Why has it changed now?”

“Really? How do I remember that you said this?”

“A thousand-year-old king and a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise. When talking about the little Japan that remains unchanged for ten thousand years, we know that the infantry charges and the artillery bombards. After the infantry charges, the artillery bombards. After the artillery bombards, the infantry charges. Let’s rush up to fight. The infantry withdraws and the artillery bombards… Let’s just ignore him. After the artillery fires, the infantry charges! You think you can get a lot of trouble out of this rigid and unchangeable style of fighting for the rest of your life. “

“Is this what you said?” Cun Yun said confidently.

“How long has it been since then? Have you changed?”

Hearing this, Meng Fannie scratched his head subconsciously. It seemed that these words were really what he said.

 Because he felt it was too familiar, especially the tone in which Cun Yunsheng imitated him, which was so vivid.

“Tuanzuo, I’ve said so many things, do you remember this?” Meng Fangliao said angrily.

　　　You know how much Mr. Meng said, but in the end his whole family only remembered this sentence?

“Isn’t this sentence enough?” Cun Yunsheng rolled his eyes.

“I didn’t expect that we would become the Japanese army now, but we are still lacking in tactics and need more training.”

“Let Duan Zhenguo’s new regiment go to Khmer and try to capture Khmer in one fell swoop.” Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and then issued a new order.

“yes.”

 …

After receiving the order, Duan Zhenguo immediately led a new regiment that had been trained for a long time to the Khmer area.

 The defense area originally guarded by Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang had already been withdrawn.

 Because with the establishment of the Zheng Dynasty, Siam also began a great purge.

 Ambitionists in many places have jumped out one after another.

 So in order to clear up the situation in Siam as soon as possible and ensure that Siam can join the Allied Forces smoothly.

Cun Yunsheng directly transferred the troops of Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang to northern Siam and began to clean up the rebels.

 At the same time, we also eliminated local powerful people who had taken refuge with the Japanese army.

 For these people, Cun Yunsheng demands that they be eradicated without mercy.

 The extra land was also confiscated and returned to the public, waiting for new distribution.

As for Zhao He’s tank regiment, they stayed in place and changed to the transferred positions.

Not long after, the new regiment led by Duan Zhenguo arrived in the Khmer area. After a short rest, they immediately launched an attack.

“Aren’t the combat effectiveness of these French troops too weak?” Duan Zhenguo is responsible for commanding the front enemy, and his unit can be said to be the most powerful unit in the task force.

 It is built completely according to the standard regiment of the US military, with more than 3,000 people.

 The firepower of the team has reached a very exaggerated level.

 That is to say, there is no walkie-talkie now, otherwise, an infantry squad can call for artillery support.

According to Cun Yunsheng’s idea, after the air-ground communication system is established in the future, even an infantry squad can call for air support.

 The firepower configuration of a squad can definitely crush a Japanese detachment.

 The firepower of a platoon far exceeds that of a Japanese squad.

  Not to mention that the company level is equipped with powerful weapons such as 60mm mortars and recoilless rifles.

 As for the battalion-level units, let alone them. If there were no self-propelled artillery, I am afraid they would even be equipped with self-propelled artillery.

 Such a battalion is also equipped with two 120mm heavy mortars, and the rest are eight 81mm medium mortars.

Facing such terrifying firepower, the indigenous army composed of French officers was penetrated through the defense line almost instantly.

 On the ground, artillery of various calibers took turns washing the ground.

By the time the infantry rushed into position, there were not many trenches left.

 For the French army officers, this level of firepower was comparable to the scale of wars fought by the great powers.

No!

 Even far beyond them!

 Because the tank regiment watching eagerly from the side did not dispatch.

Not to mention the natives, they had never experienced such fierce artillery fire.

 So when the artillery fire ended, the natives were scared away long ago.

“Sir, with our current firepower configuration, if we can’t defeat these natives, our skin will be peeled off when we go up to the peak.” A major officer said jokingly.

“Yes, our current firepower configuration is indeed very strong. Even the direct troops do not have the firepower scale of ours.” Duan Zhenguo nodded and admitted with deep understanding.

“Next, follow Shangfeng’s order and capture the entire Khmer in one fell swoop. Don’t forget that Shangfeng is still waiting for our good news.”

“This is the first battle of our new regiment. We must not disappoint Shangfeng.”

“yes!”

Then Zhao He’s tank regiment was responsible for taking the lead. Basically, they pushed all the way across, and when they encountered resistance, they just bombarded them with artillery.

 If that doesn’t work, then use two shots!

 If it really doesn’t work!

 Then let the infantry dispatch heavy artillery!

 For a time, the Khmer French army was hammered to the ground and had no power to fight back.

 In just a few days, most of the Khmer area was lost.

“What did you say? We lost more than half of our two divisions in Khmer?” Governor Degu looked gloomy after receiving the news.

 Governor-General Degoux also held a celebration banquet some time ago, and was happy that the French Navy sank the British Mediterranean Fleet.

 As a result, after a few days of happiness, the Sichuan Army actually launched another attack.

 Obviously, after the Allied forces lost in the North African battlefield, they asked the Sichuan Army to take action on them.

This made Governor Degu angry for a while, and he kept scolding Stilwell for not being able to play.

 What about giving him time to think as promised?

result?

Launch a sudden attack?

 The terrain of the Khmer army cannot block the Sichuan Army’s attack.

 Hence, he specially deployed an indigenous division composed of French officers to reinforce the Khmer.

 The purpose is to prevent the Sichuan Army from attacking.

Who knew, in just a few days, more than half of the people would be killed or injured.

 Actually, most of them were frightened and ran away. Not many were actually killed.

“Your Majesty the Governor, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army is too strong, especially their firepower. We are no match at all.” The combat staff said helplessly.

 Unexpectedly, just how long has passed, the strength of the Sichuan Army has been strengthened again.

 Obviously, the Allied forces should have long planned to forcibly move south to Annan and other places.

 After all, there is no room for others to snore on the side of the bed.

 Originally, Governor Degu wanted to accumulate troops for a period of time before going to deal with the Sichuan Army, but now it seems that it is too late.

“Your Majesty the Governor, if we don’t send reinforcements, I’m afraid the Khmer will be gone.” The combat staff advised again.

Hearing this, Governor Degu frowned even more.

 The French Indochina colony only had about 10,000 French troops.

 In addition to the need to garrison the main towns everywhere, there are not many French troops left that can be mobilized.

The main task of the French troops in these towns is to prevent harassment by guerrillas.

 After the French army suffered the loss of insufficient troops some time ago, Governor Degoux learned from the painful experience.

 It was decided to use the French army as the backbone and recruit those indigenous people to form an indigenous division.

 Mainly learn from the British Indian Division of the British Empire in Tianzhu.

 But the situations on both sides are fundamentally different.

The natives of Tianzhu are very gentle and don’t have that many moths.

 But things are different here in Annan, where there are a lot of moths.

Had it not been for the relatively high proportion of French officers and soldiers in these native divisions, they would have mutinied long ago.

Even so, the combat effectiveness is not that high.

 Facing the Sichuan Army’s attack, it basically collapsed at the first touch.

 Completely adhere to that statement.

It’s just such a small amount of money, why go to such great lengths?

“What is the Japanese Fourth Division doing?” Governor Degu took a deep breath and asked without answering immediately.

“Huh?” The combat staff was a little confused when asked, but then he came back to his senses and said immediately.

“I have been busy recently in suppressing the guerrillas. I have to say that the Japanese army does have a good way of dealing with the guerrillas. The guerrillas that we were unable to deal with were now easily eliminated by them.”

“During this period, thousands of guerrillas have been eliminated, and some important towns have been completely wiped out.”

Hearing this, Governor Degu finally felt relieved.

Originally, he was still wondering why the Japanese Fourth Division lost Bangkok so easily.

 After the Khmer incident, he knew that the strength of the Sichuan Army was definitely beyond imagination.

 The Sichuan Legion, which has received the blessing of Allied equipment, has a very strong combat effectiveness.

 So it is not surprising that the Japanese army lost Bangkok.

Now seeing that the Japanese army is busy clearing out the guerrillas, they finally came up with the idea of ​​letting the Japanese Fourth Division join the battle.

“Let the Japanese Fourth Division be dispatched to help us drive away the Sichuan Army.” Governor Degu thought for a while and then issued the order.

 “Will they agree?” the combat staff asked hesitantly.

“There is a saying in China that when the lips are dead, the teeth are cold. If the Khmer is gone, then the Sichuan Army will definitely attack Hanoi next.” Governor Degu said confidently.

 He believed that the Japanese army could definitely see this.

 After all, this is a top-ranked Class A division.

such a pity!

 Governor Degu really doesn’t know the reputation of the Fourth Division.

 Otherwise, we would never place all our hopes on the Fourth Division.

 Because the Fourth Division showed him what the real Fourth Division was.

 First of all, it is to pretend that the signal is not good and the telegram is not received.

 It is really impossible to hide it.

 Just say that the radio station is broken and is being repaired.

 Then the French army sent a large number of parts.

The results of it?

  The Fourth Division stated that their radio parts are purchased locally.

Having no other choice, the French army dispatched fighter planes and flew to Xiangjiang, where they purchased a batch of radio parts.

 Originally the French army thought that they could find no other reason this time.

result!

  The next performance set a new limit for the French army.

 Just after walking a hundred meters, many people had diarrhea and wanted to rest.

 The French army also understands this.

Non-combat attrition!

 It’s normal!

  After all, the French army often has them too!

but!

 A squadron’s search force has more than half of its personnel lost in non-combat operations. Isn’t this a bit unreasonable?

 In response, the French army sent a large amount of medicine.

 For the sake of these medicines, the Japanese army once again rushed to the battlefield in full force.

very good!

This time I walked a thousand meters!

 Someone broke his head!

 Someone lost his weapon!

Anyway, all kinds of bad things are out!

 The French army was directly confused.

If it weren’t for the opponent’s flag hanging on it, it was the Japanese Fourth Division.

 He even doubted which indigenous force this was.

No!

 Even the natives don’t stretch their hips like this.

“Bastard, bastard, bastard.” Governor Degu cursed three times in a row after learning the news. It was enough to show that he was really mad at the Japanese Fourth Division.

“Immediately send a telegram to Juichi Uchichi of the Southern Army of Japan and ask them to severely reprimand the Fourth Division. They have no military bottom line.” Governor Degu roared angrily.

In these protracted days, the Sichuan Army has occupied a large area, and it is expected that in two days, it will occupy the entire Khmer territory.

Even the Khmer royal family, which had disappeared for a long time, started fighting again, saying that it would restore the Khmer dynasty.

 This made Governor Degu extremely angry.

The results of it?

 Shouichi Terauchi seemed very calm after receiving the telegram.

　　Not even a little bit of mood swings!

 Because he is used to it.

He was not surprised at all that the Fourth Division was able to do such a thing.

Even if the other party didn’t do this, he would have doubted whether the Fourth Division had taken the wrong medicine.

“Your Excellency, Commander, how should I reply to this telegram?” the communications staff officer asked cautiously.

“How to reply? Do you still want me to teach you? Tell him that the Fourth Division is directly under the base camp, and our Southern Army has no right to mobilize them.” Terauchi Shouichi did not want to care about the other party at all.

 Because not long ago, the officers he sent to investigate the Fourth Division have not returned yet.

There are even rumors that the investigation team was attacked by guerrillas just after they arrived at the Fourth Division’s base, and there was no news.

This made Juichi Terauchi have to suspect that, not surprisingly, the Fourth Division must be involved.

 It’s all too coincidental after all.
