The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Under the suggestion of the staff officers, the Ghost Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters could only use the supplementary soldiers who stayed in Yangzhou and other rear areas to supplement the front line. The heavy soldiers and engineering soldiers temporarily reorganized a combat detachment and went to the Sulu area to fight in cooperation with the local garrison. , to wipe out all the anti-Japanese armed forces in the occupied areas.

This temporary Sano detachment composed of supplementary soldiers and heavy soldiers was formed on the spot in Yangzhou for a short period of time, and then advanced by land and water, heading straight for Gaoyou, which was filled with gunpowder.

Although the Sano detachment was formed by temporary deployment of troops, and they were all supplementary soldiers, heavy soldiers and engineers, every soldier dispatched to the Chinese battlefield had undergone strict training. Even the heavy soldiers, individual combat capabilities were still stronger than Chinese officers and soldiers, so their strength should not be underestimated.

As an independent combat unit, the Sano Detachment's combat mission is to assist the local garrison in the Sulu area, eliminate the Chinese troops stranded in the Soviet territory, and restore local law and order.

These include the Chinese 89th Army, Sulu Guerrilla Corps, Independent Sixth Brigade, Chen Taiyun Marine Police Force, Subei Guerrilla Corps, Loyalty and Nation Salvation Army, Anti-Japanese Ranger Corps and other anti-Japanese armed forces.

Because of the heavier combat missions and the wider combat area, according to the order of the Devil Central China Dispatch Army Command, there will be four infantry brigades, one artillery brigade, one cavalry brigade, and one heavy brigade temporarily merged into the Sano detachment to fight.

Such a large-scale force was enough to sweep away [-] Chinese troops in the early days of the war, but now as the combat power of both sides ebbs and flows, they can no longer be as reckless as they were in the early days of the war.

Fortunately, there are mixed infantry No.12 brigades and mixed infantry No.13 brigades in the Sulu area, as well as a large number of security forces.

When the Devil Central China Expeditionary Army dispatched troops to form the Sano Detachment to set off from Yangzhou and advance to the Sulu area from the south line, it also sent a message requesting the North China Expeditionary Army to send capable troops southward from the northern line to attack the Chinese army.

According to the battle plan of the Central China Command of the Devils Dispatch Army, the troops on the north and south fronts are like two sharp knives, echoing each other from the north and the south, completely eliminating the Chinese army in the Sulu area.

Because the Chinese army in the Sulu area caused too much damage to them this time, the Devil Commander was already furious. The interference from the base camp made them all send effective troops to launch a new round of public security operations.

Although the Sulu area was a mess, telegrams calling for help flew to the headquarters of the Central China Expeditionary Army in Nanjing like snowflakes.

But Taro Sano, the major general commander of the Devil Sano detachment who was riding on the bumpy bike at this moment, was in a good mood. If it wasn't for the fact that the war in the Sulu area was not corrupt, he would not have the opportunity to lead the army alone.

He was able to lead the battle alone, in fact, he had to thank the Chinese army in the Sulu area. It was precisely because the Chinese army made the headquarters angry that it sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress.

This time, before the assembled troops were assembled, Commander Sano couldn't wait to lead the two infantry brigades that had arrived in Yangzhou to attack the desperate Gaoyou.

On the way, he joined the Jiangfang Motorboat Squadron, which started earlier but was blocked by the guerrilla attack, and marched into Gaoyou. He wanted to show his strength with great military exploits!

This time, there are seven brigades under his command. Although they are not as good as the main field divisions formed by the Eighth Regiment, they are still huge.

Sano Taro has enough confidence to crush the Chinese army in the Sulu area. When the combat mission is over, the Sano detachment temporarily formed to undertake the combat mission will definitely be disbanded, but he can go further with this combat exploit.

Looking at the major general rank that he had worn for a long time, Sano Taro's eyes flashed with ambition, it was time for a change, and this time was the rarest opportunity.

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Taro Sano also hopes to command thousands of troops and scold Fang Qiu. This is a man's dream.

Just as Taro Sano was dreaming of a bright future in the bumpy truck, the shaking truck stopped.

"Go and see what's going on?"

Commander Sano Taro looked at the stopped marching team, and dissatisfaction flashed across his face.

A devil's staff officer jumped out of the car and ran forward, and soon came back panting.

The devil's staff stood up and saluted and reported: "Report, the road ahead was cut off by the Chinese guerrillas..."

"Damn Chinaman!"

Commander Taro Sano showed anger on his face, he pushed the door hard and jumped out of the car.

They stop and go along the way, the main reason is that the road is difficult, and those Chinese guerrillas who appear and disappear under various banners make them very annoying.

Although the guerrillas ran away when they saw them from a distance, those bridges and roads were destroyed from time to time, so they had to stop and recover before moving on.

"Let the engineers quickly repair the road!" Taro Sano ordered coldly.

"Hay!"

The devil's staff strode away, and soon, the engineering troops behind hurriedly rushed up from behind carrying wood and bricks, and rushed to the front to repair the road.

These timbers, bricks and stones were obtained from local village houses they demolished along the way, in order to quickly repair the dug-out roads.

Text 9Chapter 17 Each has its own calculations

At the head of the dilapidated Gaoyou City, a dirty and broken blue sky and white sun flag fluttered under the bitter cold wind. The countless transparent bullet holes on the flag cloth showed the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.

Looking back along the broken and dirty flag, you can see Gaoyou City filled with gunpowder, with layers of undulating houses on the highlands, and countless billowing black smoke straight into the sky, reflecting the depression and dilapidation after the World War II.

In this ruined city, there were still gunshots coming from the east of the city from time to time, occasionally mixed with one or two explosions, and the remaining devils were still stubbornly resisting.

This is already the fourth day since Yang Ling and the others attacked Gaoyou. Most of the devils and puppet troops inside and outside the city were wiped out. Their North Jiangsu First Guerrilla Corps wiped out countless enemies and captured countless.

If the guerrilla officers and soldiers who participated in the battle on the first day were still a little immature and their tactical movements were still very unfamiliar, after four days of fierce fighting, all the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle now have a murderous look all over their bodies.

The battlefield is a real training ground, and it is just right to train troops with weak garrison troops like Gaoyou. Although the brothers have suffered casualties, as long as they survive, they will become the backbone of the army. The troops fed with the flesh and blood of devils, Naturally, he is an iron-blooded and brave teacher.

Now the number of devil soldiers compressed in the east of the city is small, and with the addition of heavy soldiers, there are only a hundred or so soldiers. With Yang Ling's strength, they can naturally eat them up in one bite.

But Yang Ling and the others were not in a hurry, they fought the devils in a leisurely manner, giving the devils a chance of surviving, and let them keep sending messages for help, attracting the devils' reinforcements.

The dark circles under the dark circles of the ghost commander Qingchuan Shaozuo, who had not closed his eyes for several days and nights, were unkempt and had already lost the majesty a commander should have.

He hardly commanded the troops to fight now, and the troops' operations were completely directed by the remaining officers to resist. He stayed in the confidential room, constantly urging the confidential staff to send reports for help.

He already knew that the Central China Expeditionary Army Command had temporarily mobilized troops to form the Sano Detachment, which was now heading towards Gaoyou.

But they couldn't hold on anymore, and they might even be wiped out in the next hour, so he was urging the Sano detachment, constantly asking when they could arrive in Gaoyou.

At the beginning, the Sano detachment replied seriously, but now, facing the tireless telegram after telegram, they are too lazy to reply.

In fact, the commander of the Sano detachment, Sano Tailang, also has his own little abacus. Although his command temporarily transferred seven brigades this time.

But the cavalry brigade, the artillery brigade, the heavy brigade, and the two infantry brigades were all recruited from other places as supplementary troops, and they hadn't completed their assembly yet. He now only has two infantry brigades around him, and their strength is not very strong.

Now, on the one hand, he is repairing the damaged road and advancing towards Gaoyou, on the other hand, he is waiting for the follow-up troops to catch up and join up. He wants to crush the Chinese army with absolute strength, instead of trying to use the so-called refueling tactics.

He has obtained all the details of the battle in Gaoyou City, and he has analyzed that the Chinese army besieging Gaoyou is to fight for reinforcements. He does not want to repeat the mistakes of those puppet troops and end up dead.

He wants to concentrate his forces to strike with a thunderbolt, to show his prestige and reputation in one battle, so he wants to win all and not lose at all. Now in the battle sequence of field troops, many senior generals rely on this way to get promoted.

Another important reason is that the troops under his command are all supplementary soldiers, heavy soldiers and engineers, and they are not experienced combat troops, while his opponents have rich combat experience.

In order to defeat the opponent in a crushing way, in addition to the advantages of weapons and equipment, there is another important thing, that is morale. The detachment leader Taro Sano attaches great importance to the role of morale.

Now fighting with the Chinese army, there are many ways to improve morale. One is to encourage soldiers to plunder and massacre, and the other is hatred.

After all, the Lianghuai area is already their occupied area, and the frontline troops have to rely on the Chinese people here to start farming in spring for the supply of food and grass. Looting and killing can only be carried out in a small area, otherwise it will cause a large-scale backlash and affect the overall situation.

So now the most straightforward thing to boost morale is hatred.

He was not enthusiastic about Qingchuan Shaozuo's request for help in Gaoyou City, because he didn't even think Qingchuan Shaozuo and the others were alive, he wanted Qingchuan Shaozuo and the others to be wiped out by the guerrillas.

Only in this way, after he captures Gaoyou at that time, can he point to Qingchuan Shaozuo’s corpses and tell his soldiers that they came to help the Chinese and help build the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, but the Chinese killed those who helped them People, thereby arousing the hatred of soldiers and achieving the purpose of improving morale.

It has to be said that Taro Sano, the leader of the devil detachment, is very insidious, but it is precisely because of his ruthlessness that he can overwhelm the crowd and successfully become the leader of the detachment.
