Chapter 561(2/2)
"Of course." Du Yuming said with a smile, "We are talking about the Japanese encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army."
"Are you talking about the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army?" asked Jansen, "I know this army."
After a pause, Jansen continued to ask: "So you are discussing the result of this battle?"
"Yes." Du Yuming smiled and asked politely, "What do you think, Ambassador?"
Of course, Jansen would not easily express opinions with tendencies. After all, he is a diplomatic envoy. The professional habit of diplomatic envoys is that he will not easily express opinions with obvious tendencies.
Jansen asked back, "What is the result of your discussion?"
"The 386th Brigade will be defeated." Guan Linzheng said without hesitation, "and the Japanese army will not suffer much losses."
"General Du, what about you?" Jansen asked Du Yuming on his own initiative, "Do you also think that the 386th Brigade will be defeated?"
Du Yuming said: "I think the failure of the 386th Brigade is inevitable, but it will definitely cause severe damage to the Japanese army."
While he was talking, a foreigner came over to whisper with his ear attached to Jansen and said a few words. After hearing this, Jansen's face immediately showed a strange look.
"Several generals." Zhansen glanced over Guan Linzheng and others, and said, "I just obtained amazing news that the 28th Japanese Division, which attacked and killed Zhukou Fortress, had been completely wiped out by the 386th Brigade."
The news about the Embassy of the Beautiful Country is quite well-informed, and the news was learned so quickly.
Hearing this, Du Yuming and other senior generals of the Party and the State were stunned. What happened to be like this?
Guan Linzheng even shouted: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. I don't believe that such a thing will happen!"
Guan Linzheng is a typical northwestern man. He is big and has a loud voice. This howl actually overshadows the music. He scares the socialites and dignitaries who are hugging each other in the hall and stops, and casts surprise eyes at this corner again, thinking to himself, what was the stimulation of these Qiu Bas? So excited?
Jansen apologized to the dignitaries and signaled everyone to continue dancing.
Then he said to Du Yuming and others: "Several generals, let's talk with you."
At that moment, Zhansen brought Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming, Zhang Lingfu, Hu Lian and other senior generals to the next room, and asked the secretary to find a map, a map of the mountainous areas in northwestern Shanxi.
These young generals all graduated from Huangpu and studied military affairs professionally.
As the beautiful ambassador to China, Jansen knew a lot of inside information.
Soon, through the oral narration of Zhansen, Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian joined forces to draw a situation map of northwest Shanxi on the map.
With the map, everyone was more intuitive about the battle that took place in northwest Shanxi, and then they felt even more incredible that the 386th Brigade could quickly wipe out the 28th Division of the Japanese Army under the surrounding of eight divisions of the Japanese.
"What kind of immortal battle is this?" Hu Zongnan said in disbelief, "It's simply incredible!"
"Yes, what can I do?" Du Yuming couldn't believe it either, "How did the 386th Brigade accurately find this gap under the siege of eight Japanese divisions?"
"How did they organize the offensive after finding this gap?"
"Look, these two Japanese divisions are obviously less than a hundred miles away from the Pig Killing Mouth, and there is also a brigade in Taiyuan."
After saying this, Du Yuming shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand why these two Japanese divisions and the brigade of Taiyuan are not saved when they die? Or maybe they saved them, but they failed to save them successfully?"
Guan Linzheng said: "What I can't believe is that the 28th Division only lasted for two days!"
"This is exactly what I am confused about." Zhang Lingfu couldn't help it, and he plucked up his courage to speak boldly in front of several big brothers, "The three infantry corps of the 28th Division are from the 1st Division, the 2nd Division and the 9th Division. Not to mention the two infantry corps in front of it, the 36th infantry corps of the 9th Division fought with our 74th Army in Nanjing. This infantry corps is a real elite, and their combat power is extraordinary! "
"Our 18th Army also had a fight with this corps on the Songhu battlefield." Hu Lian said with lingering fear, "At that time, our division had just arrived at Luodian and happened to run into a brigade of the 36th Infantry Regiment. In less than two hours, half of our division had suffered casualties. If friendly troops had not arrived at our division, they would have given us a statement."
Hu Zongnan said: "So, what happened in the pig's mouth?"
"Yes, what happened to the pig's mouth?" Du Yuming said quietly.
At this time, Jansen finally expressed his opinion: "General Zhang, General Hu, do you still remember how you lost to the 36th Japanese Army Regiment when you were on the Songhu battlefield and the Nanjing battlefield?"
"How was he defeated at that time?" Hu Lian said, "I can't say this. Anyway, our division had just arrived at Luodian and before we could even unfold, the Japanese army's large-caliber naval guns were bombarded in an endless stream, followed by Japanese bombers. Fighters bombed us again, and then the Japanese army rushed and we collapsed."
"That's the problem." Jansen clapped his hands and said, "Architecture! Because of the God of War Artillery!"
Zhang Lingfu thoughtfully said: "In Chunhua, our 51st Division was also defeated by the Japanese artillery and aviation. If it were just for the 36th Japanese Infantry Regiment, it would not have been possible to defeat our division so quickly."
"So, is it because the 386th Brigade has artillery?" Guan Linzheng said, "How many artillery can the 386th Brigade have?"
Jansen said: "The 386th Brigade had severely damaged the Japanese Guards Second Division before and wiped out the 69th Division. It was probably because it had seized a lot of cannons. In addition, it had obtained at least two battalions of American-made mountain cannons from the only brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army. Therefore, the number of artillery in the 386th Brigade is probably not less than one brigade."
"This makes sense." Hu Zongnan suddenly said, "Otherwise it would be impossible to explain."
Du Yuming shook his head and said, "Even if the 386th Brigade really has a brigade's artillery, it is not easy to find this gap under the surrounding of eight Japanese divisions and to exert the artillery's firepower to the extreme. It is no exaggeration to say that the battle of killing pigs is a battle of immortals."
"What Chief Du said is very true." Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian agreed deeply.
From this moment, Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian left an indelible deep impression on the 386th Brigade.
