Chapter 109 The shock brought by the vanguard of the Renaissance Army
"Boom boom boom..."
The propellers of the Nighthawk transport helicopter rotated at high speed, tearing through the air and making a huge roar.
The helicopter then landed on a flat ground on the side of Zijing Mountain.
Then one Nighthawk transport helicopter after another landed.
These Nighthawk transport helicopters were loaded with fully armed personnel.
As the side hatch of the first Nighthawk helicopter that landed opened, a senior officer with the rank of colonel of the Restoration Army jumped out.
The commander of the 19th Regiment of the Saibei Army and a group of Saibei Army officers and soldiers all looked at the falling Nighthawk transport helicopters in shock.
This way of landing seemed to subvert their cognition.
Then the tail door of the Nighthawk transport helicopter that had already landed opened, and fully armed soldiers holding automatic rifles, carrying machine guns, rocket launchers and other light weapons ran down from the helicopter.
After releasing all the personnel, the Nighthawk transport helicopters took off again and flew towards Dongsui.
Before the commander of the 19th Regiment and his fellow officers could recover from their shock, the colonel and more than a dozen officers of the Renaissance Army had already walked up to them.
"You must be Yan Xi, the commander of the 19th Regiment of the Saibei Army."
After hearing the sound, the leader of the 19th Regiment, Yan Xi, and his group finally reacted.
"Ah? Yes, yes, I'm Yan Xi. Which unit of the Fusion Army are you from? Are you here to take over our position?"
The colonel saluted and said, "My name is Zhao Quan, from the 11th Armored Division of the 1st Corps of the Fuxing Army. I have been ordered to take over the Zijing Mountain position.
Now that your mission is complete, leave the rest to us."
"it is good!"
Yan Xi nodded and then asked hesitantly, "I heard that the young marshal is going to disband the Saibei Army. Can we join your Fuxing Army?"
The news that Jiang Jingrui was going to disband the Saibei Army was not concealed, so many officers knew about it, and it had even spread among the soldiers.
So Yan Xi and others also knew about it.
It is precisely because they know this that they are somewhat confused about their future.
If they can't serve in the army, where else can they go?
Zhao Quan looked at their expectant eyes and nodded, "Of course, our Fuxing Army welcomes anyone with aspirations to join us.
After this war is won, you will be reorganized and join the Renaissance Army, becoming one of us."
"Great!"
After hearing Zhao Quan's answer, Yan Xi and his group showed joy on their faces and looked very excited.
It seems that being able to join the Renaissance Army is a very honorable thing.
And this is actually the case.
For this group of soldiers, it doesn't matter who they serve for.
As for how loyal he is to the Saibei Army, that's definitely not the case.
Because they fight just for the sake of fighting. They know for whom they are fighting, but they don't know why they are fighting.
A truly faithful army knows why it fights and for whom it fights.
For example, the garrison troops of the Renaissance Army.
They knew they were fighting for themselves and for their future.
Only when the ancient country is unified and peaceful can they truly live a good life.
That's why they fight so hard on the battlefield.
Use your own flesh and blood to create a peaceful and prosperous world for future generations.
Therefore, the lower-level soldiers of the Saibei Army actually did not have a very high willingness to fight.
If the Fuso people had not invaded their homeland and wanted to drive them out of the northern frontier, they probably would not have been able to hold on until now.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the troops of domestic warlords is generally not high.
Unless they encounter invaders, they will burst out with different fighting power.
The troops that came this time were none other than a battalion of the mechanized infantry regiment of the 11th Armored Division.
This was also the first large-scale military combat operation since the establishment of the 11th Armored Division.
When the command center learned that Yang Changhui's Third Army and the Fuso Army had joined forces to break through the Dalin River defense line and launched an attack on the Xishan line.
The command immediately decided to dispatch the Army Aviation Corps to first transfer a battalion of light infantry to the core Zijing Mountain Heights for defense.
This line of defense must not be lost.
As for the main force of the 11th Armored Division, it has already arrived in Yi County in the north of Jinchuan.
This is also the only way for the 11th Armored Division to go south to Jinchuan City, and it is actually not far from Jinchuan City.
The arrival of the Fuxing Army reinforcements poured a bucket of cold water on Yang Changhui, the Fuso Army's 5th Division, and the 19th Division.
Especially for Yang Changhui, it almost made him feel cold.
"Isn't it just the Restoration Army? With the Fuso Empire's Imperial Army here, it's still uncertain who will win."
The flatterer Yang Zewen came online again and complimented the silent Ishihara Shinji and others.
However, Ishihara Shinji is not Hatoyama Shinya. He did not feel any fluctuation in his heart, but chose to ignore him.
"We really can't be so pessimistic. I suggest that after the Fuxing Army's fighter planes leave, we have the 19th Division launch another attack on the Zijing Mountain Heights.
If we still cannot capture this high ground, we will launch a surprise attack at night using superior forces.
If we can't take this place before six in the morning, then we will retreat to Dalin River.
Use the Dalin River as a boundary to confront the Fuxing Army and then look for new opportunities to fight."
Regarding Ishihara Nobuji's suggestion, the two lieutenant generals of the 5th and 19th Divisions looked at each other and exchanged information. Then, the commander of the 19th Division, Kuroda Toshiki, nodded and said, "Okay, then follow Ishihara-kun's suggestion and organize another large-scale attack."
Then he looked at Yang Changhui and his group.
"Yang Sang, your troops must also contribute to the attack on Jinchuan City. Mobilize your troops as the vanguard and launch an attack on the entire Xishan defense line.
In the attack on Zijing Mountain Heights, you will also need to mobilize a regiment of infantry to assist us in the battle."
To put it nicely, it means being a vanguard and assisting in combat.
To put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder.
After hearing what Kuroda Toshiki said, Yang Changhui's face immediately froze.
He smiled a bit reluctantly and said, "Yes, we will definitely assist the Imperial Army in the battle with all our strength."
I originally wanted to preserve some strength.
But unexpectedly, the Japanese did not give him this opportunity, but instead asked his people to plug the bullet hole.
He now shares the same fate with the Fuso people, and has no choice but to listen to them.
If you disobey the Japanese.
I'm afraid his fate will not be much better than Jiang Yulin's.
A village called Xujiatun, about seven or eight kilometers north of Jinchuan City, was selected by the Fuxing Army as the temporary base for the 11th Armored Division.
The First Army of the Saibei Army dispatched an engineering battalion to level the surrounding plains, build fortifications and set up tents.
Just waiting for the arrival of the Renaissance Army.
When He Zhiyuan, the army commander, received the news that the vanguard of the Fuxing Army was about to arrive in Xujiatun, he drove directly to Xujiatun to wait.
One is to show the importance of the Fuxing Army.
The second reason is to see whether the Fuxing Army is as powerful as the rumors say.
Many things need to be seen with the eyes to be confirmed.
Outside the Xujiatun camp, Army Commander He Zhiyuan and more than a dozen officers including the Chief of Staff stood in the scorching sun, looking towards the winding road to the north, eagerly waiting.
"Commander, the 19th Regiment said that a battalion of the Fuxing Army arrived directly at the Zijing Mountain position in a plane that can take off and land directly.
If you ask me, this Fuxing Army is truly amazing. The way they transport troops is simply incredible.
Even foreigners might not be able to do it.”
He Zhiyuan sighed, "Yes, the Fuxing Army often does some incredible but shocking things.
For example, in the previous Battle of Canghai, a Fuso battleship fleet was destroyed.
Who would dare to believe such a thing?
That's why I brought you here to see it with your own eyes."
He also wanted to see whether the Fuxing Army was worth joining.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, everyone was sweating profusely.
Finally they saw a cloud of dust rising from the distant highway.
"Here they come! The vanguard of the Renaissance Army is here!"
Everyone was shocked after seeing this scene, and looked into the distance with sharp eyes.
He Zhiyuan also asked the guards to check his military uniform, and then stood up straight.
"Everyone, cheer up and show the spirit of our Saibei Army. We can't let the Fuxing Army look down on us."
Because the smoke and dust were so heavy, they couldn't see clearly what was underneath the smoke and dust until they were one or two kilometers away.
"This is... a tank, a tank of the Restoration Army..."
At the front of the team were Type IV H tanks with their guns raised.
This is an entire Panzer IV Battalion, totaling 66 tanks.
Behind the Panzer IV tank cluster followed a mechanized infantry battalion's BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles.
However, there were no soldiers on board these infantry fighting vehicles.
Because they had already arrived at the Zijing Mountain position by helicopter.
This mechanized infantry battalion is one of the vanguard units of the 11th Armored Division.
Behind the mechanized infantry battalion followed an even larger team.
一辆辆M7型105毫米自行榴弹炮、M41型155毫米自行榴弹炮、M40型155毫米自行加农炮紧随其后。
At the rear were hundreds of logistics supply vehicles and ammunition trucks.
The tank battalion, mechanized infantry battalion and artillery unit are the vanguard of the 11th Armored Division.
When you see the endless torrent of armor.
He Zhiyuan and his group were all stunned.
"Is this... this the tank unit of the Restoration Army? This is incredible."
"Yeah, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."
"Our Saibei Army also has tank units, but in terms of scale and momentum, they are not even a fraction of what the Renaissance Army has."
Suddenly the crowd started talking.
It was a bit far away just now, so He Zhiyuan didn't see it very clearly.
However, when I saw the Panzer IV H tanks driving into the camp one after another, I felt the oppression of this steel behemoth.
The huge body, the long gun barrel, the heavy armor shining with metallic light, everything demonstrates the majesty of the king of land.
And this isn't just one, but dozens.
Just as they were staring blankly at the Type 4 tanks passing by.
A Willys Jeep stopped in front of them.
Liao Jie, commander of the 11th Armored Division, got out of the car.
It was only at this time that He Zhiyuan and his group reacted.
When He Zhiyuan saw Liao Jie wearing a general's uniform, he knew that he was probably the military commander of this unit.
