I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 762 Commander Ma, you have changed too

Nishimura: “What I imitated was your battle on Cangyun Ancient Road two years ago.

I was in the Blue Army. I pretended to be the Yellow Army and was chased by the Blue Army. Then I encountered the main force of the Yellow Army and led them into the valley.

First they used mines to blow up the valley, and then they covered it with mortars.

Finally, light and heavy machine guns prevented Huang’s army from raising their heads and covered the infantry’s charge.

When our infantry began to charge, the referee team announced in advance that our Blues had won.

This military exercise, which was estimated to last three days, was completed in just twenty minutes.

That’s why it was through this battle that I was able to gain the attention of the Japanese island headquarters.”

Li Si: "Isn't this the battle of the second phase of Cang Yunling that Li Yunlong fought with the No. Regiment?"

Nishimura said awkwardly: "I learned it from the battle at Cangyun Ridge. Although my learning was very crude, it was really useful."

Qin Haichuan: "I guess Brother Song didn't expect that he has a Japanese student, hahaha..."

Thief Nine: "If you are so powerful, why didn't we see any sign of it during the two days of fighting?"

Nishimura spread his hands and said, “I have no choice, because I use some tactics that have never appeared in any military academy in Japan.

They said that my unconventional approach was not acceptable and required me to follow the military academy's curriculum.

There is no other way. If I don’t learn the tactics of the academy, I will not be able to gain a foothold in the Japanese army.”

Zejiu laughed when he heard this, and Qin Haichuan also laughed.

Neither of them had expected that Japan's military system had become so corrupt.

Although they were invincible in Southeast Asia, it was not because they were so powerful, but because their opponents were too weak.

The battle organized by the Sixth Guerrilla Division and the First Cavalry Army on the northern front has been successfully completed.

They had made sufficient preparations before the battle, which lasted for two days and one night.

Finally, two Japanese divisions, totaling more than 43,000 people, were completely wiped out.

A county town was recaptured, a Japanese division commander was captured alive, and 1,320 Japanese troops from the peninsula surrendered.

More than 8,000 Type 38 rifles and more than 400 light and heavy machine guns were seized.

The number of light and heavy weapons seized was different from what they had expected.

The main reason was that some of the city walls were damaged, coupled with the artillery bombardment by the guerrilla division and the bombing by the Japanese air force.

It is already quite good to have so many spoils now.

Fortunately, the princes of the Mongolian Cavalry Division were not greedy and were not prepared at all. They worked with their comrades in Hebei to snatch the spoils.

They didn't come here for these things in the first place. Qin Haichuan had prepared them for them before they came.

One of the reasons they came to join the battle this time was to give Qin Haichuan face.

Another reason is to give face to their Changshengtian.

Another most important capture was the complete capture of the equipment of four Japanese artillery battalions.

Two of the artillery battalions were assigned to the Jindong Independent Division, and the other two were assigned to the Eighth Route Army in Hebei.

Commander Ma was also very satisfied. He kept 500 of the 8,000 Type 38 rifles and handed over the rest.

He only left one infantry gun for the preparations of the two artillery battalions, which made Comrade Wang Bidada praise him highly.

However, Commander Ma also had conditions, one of which was that the national detachment be promoted to a column.

Another condition was that the base should send him an artillery instructor.

Although he only had one Type 92, if no one taught them how to use it, it would be nothing more than a piece of moving scrap metal.

As for transforming the detachment into a column, there is no problem at all, as the Eighth Route Army in Hebei has also become prosperous.

All troops will certainly expand after the May 1st mopping-up operation.

Later I heard that the artillery instructor who came to the National Column to teach was a little reluctant to go.

It was just because he was the only one in the artillery and was from a minority ethnic group, so it would be inappropriate for him not to go.

But as soon as he arrived at the National Column, he was shocked by the scene in front of him... he was so happy.

There were eighteen Type 92 infantry guns, two Type 41 75mm mountain guns, and two 75mm caliber field guns.

There were twenty large-caliber mortars of various types, thirty small steel cannons (39 mm), and more than two hundred grenade launchers alone.

Commander Ma said: "Brother Sha, I'm handing all these artillery equipment over to you.

Your final position was the artillery platoon leader of our national column, or the artillery regiment commander of the column.

It all depends on how many artillerymen you can train in our national column."

Now the only three words left in the instructor's mind were "Artillery Regiment".

He shouted in his heart: Commander Ma, you have changed too!

“Commander Ma, I have organized an artillery training class in our base.

I have also taught quite a few artillery cadets from ethnic minorities in the training classes.

Most of the units where these students are located have artillery but no cannons.

Either there is only a small cannon, or there are only two or three shells.

How about this? We can take ten small cannons and exchange them for ten gunners.

Or we could give them ten shells for one of their gunners."

Commander Ma: "Then they are left without gunners. Will they agree to exchange with you?"

Lao Sha: "We can help them train gunners for free, but we must send two students to study at a time.

After they finish their studies, each of them can take back five artillery shells, and the other student can stay in our column.

As long as there are those experienced people, it may take a little longer to get started with those Type 92 infantry guns.

However, these mortars will be able to form combat effectiveness within a month."

The two of them hit it off immediately, and just as Lao Sha said, within a month, the artillery could go out to fight.

When they were sweeping the Japanese troops around Wei County, they directly pulled out four Type 92 infantry guns and ten mortar groups.

What surprised his superiors even more was that his ethnic detachment had changed dramatically within a month.

It was directly expanded into a column of 7,000 people, and each person was equipped with a Type 38 rifle.

Later, his superiors made inquiries from many sources and finally found out where his gun came from.

They seized about 20,000 broken rifles at that time.

They all followed Zhang San's method and dismantled the broken gun parts and classified them.

It turns out that as many Type 38 rifles as there are good gun barrels can be assembled.

In addition to the good guns that had already been replaced, they still had more than 6,000 Type 38 rifles left.

In addition to the light and heavy machine guns and artillery, with the reputation of Commander Ma, he can pull out a national column of 10,000 people at any time.

After the battle here ended, the 1st and 2nd Independent Divisions of East Shanxi withdrew to their base.

The local troops behind, holding their big flags, played the empty city tactic for a week.

If they don't go back quickly, the situation over there might be unstoppable.

Although Yoshio Shinozuka had secretly warned people not to provoke the base unless necessary.

But if you take away two main divisions at once, they will still be afraid of the Eighth Route Army. Will there be any big action?

Now some puppet troops have come here secretly, looking for enemy work cadres openly or covertly.

Ask the Eighth Route Army if they need any help, and let them know if they are short of manpower.

Their big help might not be of any use, but sending people over to wear the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army to help them put on some appearances might be okay.

The comrades from the enemy work department asked them: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the devils in the stronghold by doing this?"

The puppet army platoon leader said: "The generals knew I was coming and they specifically told me to do so."
