Chapter 245: The Dwarf Locust Nation Arrives at Yanping
"Changhuan?" Putting down the pen in his hand, Fang Jian couldn't help but sneer.
These little dwarf locust people are really arrogant. I still remember that during the Republic of China on Blue Star, they clamored to destroy China in three months. Their arrogance was so arrogant. By the end of World War II, China still held half of its territory.
"Send a message to Fang Guoxuan. If the Dwarf Locust Nation dares to provoke us, we will destroy them immediately."
Tao Yunong said solemnly: "Commander, the Dwarf Locust Nation is a powerful country after all. If we destroy this army, will it lead to large-scale retaliation from them?"
"It doesn't matter. The reason why the little locust country was promoted to a great power is only because of its strong navy." After thinking for a moment, Fang Jian shook his head slightly.
"Their standing army is only over 300,000. Even if they come out in full force, our army can still defeat them."
The army of the Small Locust Country is not strong. Even in the Blue Star Republic, if it had not occupied the three northeastern provinces and relied on the powerful resources left by the Zhang family in the three northeastern provinces to arm a million Kwantung Army, otherwise the Small Locust Country would not have had the strength to invade China.
The small dwarf locust country on Diyuan Star is located in the south of the new country. Apart from landing in the East China Sea, the only options are the South China Sea and Guangnan.
These two provinces are both warlord territories. If we really want to land in these two places, the first opponents we should fight should be the southern warlords or the southern new army.
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Fang Jian looked at Tao Yunong and asked, "How is the formation of the 12th, 13th, and 14th divisions going?"
"Commander, half of the soldiers have been drawn from the 4th, 5th and 7th Divisions respectively, and mixed with the new army to form the 12th, 13th and 14th Divisions." Tao Yunong replied immediately.
Today, the reserve forces are composed of newly recruited soldiers, and the three newly established divisions will certainly not be composed entirely of untrained recruits.
While there is no war, it is a good opportunity to expand the army. Half of the troops still have veterans, so the combat effectiveness will not decline too seriously.
Fang Jian nodded gently: "Have the soldiers drawn out from the Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Divisions been replenished?"
“All have been replenished.”
After pondering for a moment and thinking about the future threat from the Dwarf Locust Nation, Fang Jian ordered again: "Split half of the people from the 6th, 8th, and 9th divisions to form the 15th, 16th, and 17th divisions."
The Second Division suffered heavy losses in the Xinyuan Campaign, and Fang Jian had no plans to split up its troops for the time being, after all, it had just recruited thousands of new soldiers.
The 1st, 3rd, 10th and 11th Divisions are now on the Yanping front, confronting the small locust country. It is not a good time to weaken its military strength.
There is no war in Nanchuan for the time being, so the split of the 6th and 7th Divisions will not have much impact.
The Nanshan Army also needs some time to digest the expansion of six divisions and more than 130,000 people at once.
Looking at Tao Yunong, Fang Jian ordered again: "Increase the reserve force of the Nanchuan Army to 200,000, and the reserve force of Nanshan must also be supplemented to 300,000."
"Yes, Commander." Tao Yunong responded and went down to carry out Fang Jian's order.
Fortunately, many people made great contributions in this war, and many deputy positions were vacant, so there were enough officers to fill the vacancies in six divisions.
Fang Jian chose the commanders of the 201st, 202nd and 203rd Regiments of the nd Division as the commanders of the three new divisions. They were Xue He, the commander of the th Division, Wang Ming, the commander of the th Division, and Zhao Zhang, the commander of the th Division.
As for the head of the 204th Regiment, he had been promoted to head of the regiment not long ago and was still serving as the head of the regiment.
The Nanshan Army was in full swing in reorganizing the army, recruiting new soldiers, and training soldiers. There were naturally many things to coordinate when expanding the six divisions.
On November 11, the main division of the Little Locust National Elementary School entered Yanping and confronted the Nanshan Army.
In addition to the more than 28,000 soldiers of the Little Locust Kingdom, the Northern Army also transferred two newly formed armies, led by Wu Peisheng, to cooperate with the Little Locust Kingdom’s army.
After the troops were stationed, Wu Peisheng was very humble in front of the commander of the Omoto Division, Omoto Enshin, in the command center.
There was no way out. He had just suffered a defeat. If he did not cooperate well with the dwarf locust people, he might face the same situation as Feng Huamin after returning to the capital.
Feng Huamin at least saved two armies with 60,000 people, but he returned to Sanjiang with only a few thousand remnants, and his performance was even worse than Feng Huamin.
Coming back to his senses, Wu Peisheng whispered, "Captain of our division, the Nanshan Army is very powerful. We have suffered losses at their hands several times. I hope you will not be careless."
Wu Peisheng used the language of the United States. He had studied in the United States and spoke it fluently.
"Hmph, you stupid new people, how can your fighting power compare with the warriors of my little locust country." Omoto Aisin said unhappily.
"The warriors of my little dwarf locust nation are invincible. They are just a local warlord. We can defeat them with just a charge."
The reason why Omoto Aisin was so confident was that they had defeated the previous dynasty in a naval battle, and the previous dynasty could only cede land and pay compensation in front of the great powers, so he naturally did not take the new country seriously.
Moreover, the division commanded by Komoto Aisin defeated those small countries in the southeast two years ago, gaining a lot of benefits for the small locust country.
In Omoto Aisin's view, the new country's army should be as vulnerable as the small countries in the southeast.
Facing the arrogant words of Xiao Ben Aixin, Wu Peisheng curled his lips and dared not refute, fearing to anger him. But in his heart, Wu Peisheng was extremely disdainful.
I don’t know who gave these arrogant dwarfs the confidence, but the 400,000 troops from the North and South were defeated by the Nanshan Army.
Do these little dwarf locust people look down on the new people and think that 30,000 people can defeat the Nanshan army that just defeated the 400,000-strong coalition army of the North and the South?
Who gave them the confidence?
After Xiao Benyuanxin finished his big talk, he said to Wu Peisheng: "Wu Sang, send an interpreter to negotiate with the Nanshan Army together with our military staff."
"Let them agree to our demands, otherwise our army will enter Nanshan and take it themselves."
"Okay." Wu Peisheng nodded.
Yuan Yueting naturally sent an interpreter to the Northern Army.
Soon, a Northern Army officer, an interpreter, a Japanese officer, and four guards, a group of seven people, arrived at the Nanshan Army position.
The officer approached the position with his hands raised and shouted, "We are here to negotiate. Brothers on the other side, please do not shoot. Please report our intentions truthfully."
The Yanqiu defenders quickly reported the news to Wang Bin, the commander of the 101st Regiment. Wang Bin was originally the deputy commander of the 101st Regiment. After Fang Weian was promoted, Wang Bin became the commander of the 101st Regiment.
When he arrived at the position and observed this group of people through the telescope, Wang Bin couldn't help but frown.
The regiment's chief of staff said worriedly, "Captain, these people are not coming to our position to negotiate openly, but are actually trying to spy on us, right?"
"Even if the other party is secretly investigating the situation, what can we do?" Wang Bin shook his head.
"When two armies are at war, envoys are not killed. Besides, we are a country of etiquette. We can't just tie them all up."
"Besides, if they want to negotiate, it's not up to us to decide. We should take them to the headquarters and let the division commander make the decision."
Wang Bin asked an officer to come forward and said, "If you want to negotiate, please unload your weapons first. We will take you to the headquarters to see the commander."
"Baga." The translator reported the words of the Nanshan Army officer to the officer of the Small Locust Country, causing the officer of the Small Locust Country to be furious.
