Chapter 799: Countdown to Burma


Time into December of the 30th year of the Republic of China, this month, is destined to be a month of change, in the Soviet Union, the German and Soviet armies fought to the death near Moscow, and began the Battle of Moscow, the meat grinder of the Battle of Moscow, involving hundreds of thousands of German and Soviet soldiers, and shattering.

In the North African theater, the British army launched Operation Crusader with the strength of six divisions, and it went smoothly, attacking all the way and advancing more than 800 kilometers, severely damaging the German and Italian armies in North Africa On the outskirts of Baoshan, in the camp area of the Second Supplementary Regiment, more than 20 large trucks drove into the camp of the Second Supplementary Regiment along the rugged Hunan country roads, and stopped in the camp, and the driver with superb driving skills first turned the truck around, and then stopped and turned off, and more than 20 trucks lined up in a line and stopped neatly.

The soldiers of the special service platoon armed with Thomson 1928A1 submachine guns ran forward quickly, and the submachine gunners of the three infantry squads of the special service platoon formed a combat group around the convoy and tensely and carefully established a ring cordon.

On the truck, a captain of the Ordnance Department of the Fifth Army opened the door and jumped out of the car, as soon as he got out of the car, the captain felt a breath of battle and vigilance, supplementing the guard fortifications in the barracks of the Second Regiment, and there were dozens of soldiers in the special service platoon wearing steel helmets, holding Thomson submachine guns with grenade bags hanging on their waists, bayonet sheaths, and carrying mountain knives, coupled with the capable and experienced movements and vigilant eyes of dozens of soldiers, giving the captain an illusion, as if he had come to the front line and was on the battlefield.

The captain suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on his back, and a drop of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

The atmosphere and work style of the military department organs and combat units are completely different, and the Second Supplementary Regiment is the top combat unit in the Fifth Army, and its work style and fighting atmosphere are much higher than those of other infantry regiments in the army.

Zhang Wei's requirement was that the whole regiment should be in a state of combat readiness every day, dealing with staff officers and attached officers all day long, and if the officers who drank tea and handled the paperwork were put in this environment, nine out of ten would be like this captain, with cold sweat on their bodies.

"Supplement the Second Regiment Major Regiment attached to Zheng Yiqun, and received supplies by telegram order" Zheng Yiqun walked up to the captain officer who was escorting, saluted the captain and said.

The captain hurriedly returned the salute.

"Sir, Zhao Kun, the captain attached to the Ordnance Department of the Fifth Army, came to escort the supplies on the order of the military department, this is the list, please sign for it" Zheng Yiqun took the list and silently read the materials on the list. "250,000 rounds of 79 rifle ammunition, 400,000 rounds of 79 machine gun ammunition, 15,000 grenades, 30,000 rounds of 45 submachine gun rounds, 10,000 rounds of 60 mortar shells, 2,500 rounds of 82 mortar shells, 3,000 rounds of 50 mm grenades, 3,000 rounds of gun grenades, 150 bayonets, and 300 bundles of foreign wire" Zheng Yiqun finished reading the list, took out the telegram he had just received from his briefcase, and after checking it repeatedly, he took out a pen and signed the list.

"Thank you, brother" After signing, Zheng Yiqun said with a smile.

"How about Captain Zhao, stay and have a meal with the brothers in the convoy in the regiment today, our regiment has strengthened the food, stewed pork, made pig-killing dishes, the brothers are hard to escort, stay and make a tooth sacrifice" Captain Zhao, who was escorting, wiped the sweat from his forehead, at this time he didn't want to stay here for a quarter of an hour, staying in this camp, he could only feel uncomfortable, no matter how delicious the pork entered his mouth, it would be tasteless "Thank you, sir, for your kindness, but you have responsibilities and transportation tasks, so I won't stay long."

Zheng Yiqun smiled: "Okay, then don't waste time."

He Kun came over to move things."

He Kun, the commander of the baggage company, ran forward with the soldiers of the whole company, and when he arrived at the open space where he was parked, the baggage soldiers rushed to the front of the car, cooperated with the soldiers escorting the car, put down the tailgate of the carriage, removed the transported materials from the back compartment of the truck, and then transferred the materials to the carriage of the baggage company or piled them up in the open space.

These materials included whole boxes of ammunition and ordnance, as well as engineering equipment and consumables used in the construction of fortifications, 79-step machine gun bullets, Thomson submachine gun bullets, grenades, 82 mortars and 60 artillery shells, bayonets, basically supplemented the weapons used by the 2nd Regiment now, ammunition has been greatly replenished, and the consumables needed for the construction of fortifications have also been replenished in large quantities.

Such a large amount of supplementary ammunition, together with the replenishment of the Second Regiment's own already large inventory of ammunition, adds up to a very large number, and the existing ammunition of the entire regiment is more than enough after a general battle, and the actual ammunition of the Second Supplementary Regiment is now more than many infantry divisions of the National Army.

Just two days ago, Zhang Wei received a telegram from the army commander, in which he ordered the Second Supplementary Regiment to prepare to march and enter Burma.

Early in the morning, Zhang Wei rushed to the military headquarters, ready to receive the task, Zhang Wei walked on the front foot, and the military headquarters pulled trucks to replenish supplies one after another.

A large amount of ammunition was replenished, and the commander-in-chief rushed to the military headquarters, and all the things that happened during the day of replenishing the second regiment could only mean that the whole regiment was about to start the countdown to Burma.

In the military department, Zhang Wei, as usual, discussed the battle situation with the senior officers in the military department, but today the chief of staff of the army, Luo Youlun, is not there, and in the military department, there is also a little more serious, while serving as the chief officer of the Fifth Army, Commander Du is now concurrently serving as the acting commander of the first road of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which can be said to be an official promotion, and at this time he is carefully giving Zhang Wei the battle order of the vanguard regiment.

As the acting commander of the expeditionary force, he assumed the command task of up to three army-level units of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the pressure was very great, and the heavy burden of command and the increase in the amount of business made Chief Du greatly emaciated and had dark circles.

"The situation is very serious, Chongqing has issued a battle order, requiring our army to send an advance team, must enter Burma before the end of this year, your regiment, I plan to start in a week, the whole regiment first to the defense area of the Sixth Army, and then from the defense area of the Sixth Army into Burma, the Sixth Army is currently in Mangshi, Longling and Shafang line defense, after your regiment drives to the Sixth Army defense area, quickly march to Wan Town in Burma by truck transportation, where the British army and our army personnel in Burma hand over the order is very urgent, and, The departure order of this pioneer group was signed by the principal himself, and your group face is big enough, hum. ” After listening to the order of the pioneer regiment signed by the principal himself, Zhang Wei made a look of respect and fear, but he did not expect that his battle order to open Burma was actually the order written by the bald chairman Commander Du handed Zhang Wei a piece of paper, marking the route of the supplementary second regiment on the map, and at the same time giving Zhang Wei a verbal military order, in short, in another week or so, the supplementary second regiment will enter Burma, and Zhang Wei's troops will be the first regiment of the national army to enter Burma.

"Junzao, who will provide the trucks of our regiment in Myanmar," Zhang Wei asked.

"Half a month ago, our side has sent an advance staff group into Burma, and this advance staff group is the counterpart of your advance group, and is responsible for negotiating with the British army on the replenishment and operational issues after you enter Burma.

Zhang Wei: "Understood."

Commander Du had a worried expression on his face, and his tone was heavy.

"Myanmar does not have to be on its own turf, you must be careful everywhere when you go, remember to act carefully, not only to prepare for battle, but also to pay attention to military discipline and military appearance, you represent the Chinese army, and even the face of the Chinese, it is a matter of national dignity."

Zhang Wei said: "Rest assured, our regiment will not disgrace the Chinese army and show the good demeanor of the Chinese army."

It's just that there is one more thing, I hope the military seat can give it explicitly. ” "You say."

"What is the mission of our regiment after entering Burma, and what is the direction of the march, you have to give a clear instruction, otherwise after entering Burma, it will become a headless fly walking around."

According to Zhang Wei's thoughts, after entering Burma, it is best to go all the way to the south, search and advance in the direction of South Burma, and let the troops move, rather than staying in a certain place after entering Burma and not moving the place for a long time.

Commander Du: "What do you think?"

Zhang Wei said: "Military seat, I think, to fight the war to live, since it is the vanguard, sit this vanguard thoroughly, I hope that after entering Burma, our regiment and the military department keep in touch, and at the same time search and advance to the south of Burma, so that we can play the role of the advance team, explore the way for the main force, and be the vanguard for our expeditionary army, the people in Myanmar are complicated, and the various conditions found in the march are reported to the military department by radio at any time, and the main force of the army is the front station, it is best to go all the way to southern Burma, where is the farthest preset position of our army, My regiment will go wherever it goes. ” Zhang Wei's idea is quite bold, according to his idea, theoretically, he can spread his legs all the way to any city in southern Burma when he enters Burma, so that he may run to Yangon "You're bold enough."

Commander Du said with a smile.

"Hehe, pioneer, you have to look like a pioneer, and now that the Japanese army has not entered Burma, theoretically, all parts of Burma are safe now."

"Having said that, but you must not do this, the vanguard is not only to explore the way, but also to contact the rear, absolutely not disjointed, your regiment is a vanguard regiment, it is expected that there will be a forward division after the vanguard regiment, after the forward division enters Burma, several main forces of the expeditionary force will enter Burma in a big way, after you enter Burma, you can move forward but don't go too far, at most advance to the front line of Mandalay, and wait until the forward division enters Burma, your regiment will continue to advance, open the way before the forward division, and finally join up with the forward division, and be at the forefront of our army."

The vanguard regiment is in front, the vanguard division is behind, and the main force of the expeditionary force will then enter Burma in a big way.

Zhang Wei: "Military seat, which division is the forward division of our army?"

"The 200th Division."

"After the 200th Division enters Burma, if my regiment is deployed with the 200th Division, where can it be topped?"

Chief Du looked at Zhang Wei's eyes, and after a while, said slowly.

"Same as the ancients."
