On March 3, 1933, the northern land was still covered with snow. On a path surrounded by the mountains of the Yanshan Mountains, a team that the locals had never seen was staggering along.
This team meandered with no end in sight, and there were countless horses and mules in the middle of the team that were puffing out white gas.
They were wrapped in knee-length fur coats, heavy leather shoes on their feet, and dog-skin hats on their heads. From a distance, their shit-yellow attire was so incompatible with the snowy environment.
Only the bayonets flashing coldly on the spears on their backs, the machine guns and steel cannons covered by gun jackets on their horses, and their faces that were turned purple by the cold wind but still ferocious, clearly showed the ferocity and strength of this group of uninvited guests.
Major Yoneyama Shitaki is a short, stocky Hokkaido native who has been in the army for twelve years. His many years of military service have made his face, which was not smooth, wrinkled, but the beard on his cheeks is neatly trimmed.
, only a small poke of thick Danrenhu hangs on the lips.
At this time, his small single-lidded eyes were staring intently at the mountains in front of him. He seemed calm and calm, but in fact, his heart was beating with a heart eager to obtain honors.
Yoneyama Shita was born in a peasant family in Hokkaido. He has been struggling to survive with his parents in the harsh environment of Hokkaido since he was a child. At a very young age, he was determined to change his life and the lives of his family.
Therefore, when the Japanese government opened free primary education in the mountains of Hokkaido, he persuaded his father to walk more than ten miles every day to go to school.
Through his hard work, he was admitted to the Japanese Army Sergeant School at the age of seventeen and became a quasi-officer of the Imperial Japanese Army.
With a low status, he knew that the only way to get ahead in the strict hierarchical Japanese society and to change the fate of himself and his relatives was to join the army.
Therefore, he worked very hard to learn knowledge and train various military skills. He even went so far as to break the ribs of a classmate who had laughed at him when he was practicing stabbing skills.
For this reason, not only was he not punished, but he was praised by the instructor, who said that he had the bravery and courage of a warrior. He claimed that his performance was that he had fully understood the essentials of stabbing, which is to treat any opponent as your enemy.
The encouraged Yoneyama Shitaki devoted himself to the training even more energetically. In the graduation examination, he won the first place in stabbing among the students in the same period, and successfully entered the seventh division known as the Hokkaido Division, becoming a
A trainee officer.
Not long after he served in the army, he was nicknamed "Beast Mishan" among his colleagues because of his superb and fierce stabbing skills. He also often represented the 7th Division in stabbing competitions and discussions with other armies, and won many awards.
Less honor.
This also led to the fact that although he was from the bottom of society and had no foundation in the military, he was deeply favored by his superior officers and reached the position of major captain with a smooth journey.
At this point, he has completely gotten rid of his status as the bottom of society, and he also knows how everything happened now, which makes him work harder.
During his service in North Korea, in order to improve his men's stabbing skills, he often captured captured members of the resistance organization or simply arrested ordinary people in the mountainous areas for on-site demonstrations, allowing the new recruits to assassinate living people tied to tree stumps.
In this way, you can intuitively understand the structure of the human body and increase your courage training.
This training method was once again appreciated by the superiors and was specially named "Beast Training Method", which actually refers to Mishan's training method.
Therefore, the soldiers under Mishan who were trained in this cruel mode are all masters of assassination and are proud of assassinating living people. They are known as the Beast Brigade in the 7th Division.
In order to cooperate with the order of the Kwantung Army Headquarters to attack Rehe in three routes, the Seventh Division decided to attack from the center with the main force of the division, and at the same time deployed one brigade each from the 25th, 26th, 27th, and 28th Infantry Regiments.
A brigade of the 7th Artillery Regiment and a squadron of the 7th Cavalry Regiment formed a mixed 14th brigade to cooperate with the 8th Division in the attack to the south of Jehol.
The brigade commander is Colonel Hattori Hyojiro, the former commander of the 25th Regiment. Since Yoneyamashita's brigade is part of the 25th Regiment, Hattori Hyojiro will naturally transfer his most proud subordinates to the 14th Brigade.
In addition, in order to show how much he valued this so-called "beast", Hyojiro Hattori specially strengthened a 92 infantry artillery squad, a heavy machine gun squad and a cavalry detachment for the Yoneyama brigade, and formed the Yoneyama advance team as a mixed 14th brigade.
Pioneer.
In other words, the current Mishan advance team has 4 92 infantry guns, 16 92 heavy machine guns, and a reconnaissance team composed of 15 Japanese cavalry. The total strength reaches 1,228 people and more than 100 mules and horses. In the vast area of Rehe,
On land, it is already possible to fight independently in a certain direction.
Moreover, the Mishan advance team did live up to the high expectations of the brigade commander. Less than three days after the battle in Rehe, he led more than a thousand Japanese soldiers at high speed through the junction of the central front and the southern front.
When the Eighth Division attacked Lingyuan head-on, it launched an attack from the flanks of the garrison troops of three brigades of the Northeast Army.
The three brigades of the Northeastern Army, including Ding Xichun, Miao Chengliu and Sun Dequan, with more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, had no determination to fight to the death in the face of fierce attacks from two directions by the Japanese army. Especially after the Mishan Brigade rushed into the defensive position with bayonets and screamed wildly, they
The horrific sight of the defenders being stabbed to death was so frightening that several brigade commanders fled first, causing the entire Lingyuan defense line to collapse within an hour of the Japanese attack.
Mi Shan, on the other hand, led his men in pursuit, howling like wild beasts, catching up with the defeated soldiers all over the mountains and plains from behind. He didn't even pay attention to the Chinese soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and begging.
The frightening bayonet stabbed hard into their flesh and blood bodies, and then he pulled out the bayonet with satisfaction, and then rushed to the next one.
It only took half an hour for the Mishan Brigade to launch the attack, but it took a full three hours to chase down the defeated troops. At that time, they were no longer for victory and glory, but simply got pleasure from killing and were intoxicated.
The sound of the bayonet stabbing into a living body and the miserable howl coming from the opponent.
In this battle, the Mishan Battalion lost only three soldiers, and all of them were injured when they accidentally fell during the pursuit. The most serious injury was a fractured calf.
More than 1,000 Chinese soldiers fell under their bayonets, and most of them were broken soldiers and prisoners who had laid down their weapons.
This scene can no longer be called a battle, but a veritable massacre.
But Mishan had no intention of stopping the massacre by his men. In his opinion, these courageous defeated soldiers were not qualified to be called soldiers at all. They were just a group of cowards and cowards who did not deserve to live in this world.
