Chapter 298 They need a victory

The name of the Pioneer Army seemed to have become the object of discussion among the Chinese people overnight. The words of struggle on the front line of the War of Resistance also became the loudest slogan as the Central Army retreated step by step. On the coastal line, only the Pioneer Army was still resisting and not retreating.

"Go to the Special Administrative Region and join the Pioneer Army!" This sentence has become a fashionable word in the mouths of young students.

The Pioneer Army also provided good treatment for these students who defected to the scene. Meng Xiangtong unified all included the Pioneer Army organization so that they would not feel cold. The Pioneer Army sign was hanging on them, and they seemed particularly formal and strict when assigned tasks. The Pioneer Army treatment was also exempted from worries.

For them, it is necessary to participate in the necessary military training for the recruits, and they do not let the water go because of their weakness. The revival of China also requires a martial spirit.

Of course, not everyone can resist the training of the recruit battalion or adapt to the life of the army. As for their choices, they generally choose various schools, continue to study and contribute to the motherland with knowledge.

Although not many students who joined the Pioneer Army participated in actual combat, they used more as the spark of spreading knowledge and ideas in the army, instilling knowledge and patriotic ideas. Among them, those with special advantages and various specialties were directly sent to the army to study at universities to avoid wasting their talents.

This may be a bit unfair to those with low cultural level, but what China in the future needs more is construction and creative talents. With them, China can establish a complete scientific foundation and technical system, create better weapons, and continuously allow China's civilization to revive rapidly on the fast sail of science.

Often, such a person will take more than ten years to train a bullet that will be sent to the battlefield. Their eyeless bullet will ruin the future of a future scientist or thinker.

"Planer leader, come back and see us!" The comrades saluted Chen Ergou one by one.

"You guys, I'm going to the military academy, not to the execution ground. Look at your eyes, how could the soldiers cry?" Chen Ergou smiled with red eyes. But he felt bad. The feelings of this small team were caused by blocking each other's bullets in war. Although Chen Ergou was a sniper and did not charge at the forefront, his sniper rifle bullets always appeared in places that his comrades were urgently needed, and often saved their lives and won the respect of the soldiers.

Once you go there, you don’t know when you will meet again. Maybe you will be transferred to another place when you come out of the military academy.

Ordinary soldiers did not ruin their path to progress. Excellent soldiers rely on their skills and military merits to be promoted and the other was sent to military academy for training and improvement.

Military academy training is also divided into short-term training for on-the-job teams and long-term training for professionals. Chen Ergou belongs to the latter. This long term is usually one year. After a year, even if he comes back, he doesn’t know how many of these comrades in front of him can see. Even if the vanguard army has a low combat loss rate, people will die in war. Every soldier has already become dying before he goes to the battlefield.

"You can die at worst, it's a man's, come on me!" Du Chunlai shouted loudly and led his company toward the Japanese army on the mountain. The Maruyama Detachment of the 9th Division was very strong. It was the Central Army who concentrated its forces to fight to the death. Both sides fell into a stalemate in Mahuiling on Nanxun Road, the pass.

"The Japanese are still very greedy. Jiangxi is the south, and Wuhan is the west, so how many troops do they have? The Japanese have always liked to bet, but they did not come to us, but went to fight the Central Army. They are not afraid that we will lift their butts from behind." Meng Xiang listened to the constant reports from the staff officers and said to Tang Pharmacist next to him with a smile.

"They need a victory to boost morale." Pharmacist Tang didn't know what happened recently, so he stopped shaking his fan and just kept drinking tea.

After the Pioneer Army sank the Japanese Navy's ships, the Japanese had no other movement except for clamoring for revenge. They could not come up with available ships. The only two aircraft carriers were still repairing, and the three under construction had not been completed. Relying on the battleships, the Pioneer Army also had battleships. Even if they were facing shore artillery, the Japanese battleships could not rush over.

Faced with the intensive large-caliber shore artillery of the vanguard army, even the Mu Ao dared not say that it could support it, let alone anything else.

"We need to build more and larger ships. The armor is thicker and the naval cannon is bigger, just like the Yamato." This time the defeat made the Japanese make up their minds to vigorously develop the navy and build new ships. In addition, all types of aircraft of Type 96 have proved that they were at a disadvantage when facing the Pioneer Army, and the gap was very big. Faced with such a situation, the Japanese did not intend to waste pilots adding records to the Pioneer Army before the new fighter jets appeared. In the last battle of the Yellow Sea, the Japanese lost more than 100 HNA pilots, including elites, which made the Japanese hurt.

The strength of the Pioneer Army also made the Japanese Army suffer. Without air supremacy, the ammunition on the Pioneer Army planes was constantly poured over the Japanese heads as if they were not worth it. The backwardness of the land aircraft and the shortage of air defense weapons made the Japanese Army passively beaten when facing the Pioneer Army.

Therefore, the Japanese around the SAR continued to shrink their defense, without any intention of offensive revenge. The vanguard army was unanimously recognized by the Navy and Army.

Since the vanguard army was not easy to mess with, the Japanese, who urgently needed a victory to boost morale, turned their target to the easy-to-fight Central Army. The advance along the Yangtze River gave the Japanese hope.

"We should stop advancing. Our troops are too scattered and there is no room for them to leave. If the vanguard army suddenly attacks, how can we resist?" Hata Shunruo suggested. Now Japan's faction that advocates not to expand the scale of the war will carry out the vanguard army at any time. The vanguard army's attack was too fast, and the last time it defeated the 114th Division one day, it left a deep impression on people.

"The Pioneer Army relies on rapid attacks on chariots. The two Huaihe Rivers are densely populated, and their chariots can no longer be like in Xuzhou and Lianyungang. The Yellow River is the north, and even if they build a pontoon bridge, they will not be able to build it in a short time. The troops we guard can quickly destroy their pontoon bridge. As long as their chariots cannot cross the Yellow River, we will be sure to defeat them." Because of the defeat of the navy and the failure of Sugiyama to command the attack on the vanguard army, Shouichi Teraunuchi escaped and was criticized and held accountable. Everyone was defeated, so don't laugh at 100 steps.

"What about the Central Plains? The Central Plains region is flat and the most suitable assault for chariots. How can I stop it?" asked Hata Shunrok.

"There are guardians of the 10th, 14th and 16th divisions there, and the 13th divisions in Xuzhou support each other."

"The 10th and 16th Divisions are still replenishing personnel, right?" Hata Shunji's words hurt Suichi Deanuchi. The 10th and 16th Divisions were defeated by the vanguard army in succession. Although they were not completely destroyed, they had been replaced several times.

"And they also need to control the Central Plains." Hata Shunrok continued to say bluntly.

The Central Plains region has been a place of four wars since ancient times. The people there are strong people. If the Japanese want to plunder and raise soldiers there, they will face the first thing they are large and small local organizations of nearly ten million people. Perhaps in another time and space, the Henan people who were forced to rebel by various taxes chose to help the Japanese deal with Tang Enbo, but in this time and space, the more greedy Japanese people came to collect protection fees.

"Our purpose is to demote the Chiang regime to a local regime. They have been driven out of the Central Plains. When they are driven out of Hankou, the Chiang regime's power and prestige will not be able to control the warlords of China. We can support one or two local forces from it. Even if the Pioneer Army does not surrender to us, but the emperor is far away, they will soon get rid of the Chiang regime's rule. With them, Chiang's central government will be destroyed in name only. That's why we gave up attacking the Pioneer Army and weakened the Chiang regime." Sugiyamamoto interjected from the side.

"This time the empire has invested more than 3 billion yuan and has formed 10 new divisions and will be invested in China. The glory of the empire is here!" Sugiyama Moto sighed.

During the July 7 Incident, the Japanese issued currency with gold, foreign exchange and other reserves only more than 1.3 billion yen, but the Japanese government imported 960 million yen of military supplies in just 37 years and a year. Apart from the plunder, the rest were real money and silver, which was so expensive that it was enough to ignite the lead of inflation.

"We need victory, we need wealth, there is what we want." Sugiyama Sora did not say this sentence, but it was actually that.

"We need a victory!" Lao Jiang was also shouting at the rows of generals with a stern face. He thought so in his heart, but we changed it to me. Although he had achieved results, his continuous retreat still caused a unanimous attack from opposition forces within and outside the party. The people they incited would not consider the difficulties of facing the Japanese resistance, nor the advantages of the vanguard army's weapons and equipment, but saw Lao Jiang's step by step retreat, without a victory.

"Concentrate our troops and do whatever it takes to win!" Lao Jiang instructed, "We only need one victory!"

To win, the most important thing is to choose a good opponent. A weak opponent can quickly become the cornerstone of the winner's glory throne.
