There is a small town at the junction of Huangshi and Ruichang, called Jiaozuo Town. The town has a small population, only about two hundred households, but at this time, there are not many people left in the town. They are not in the war.
Before he ran away, he was almost massacred by the Sixth Division.
The soldiers of the Sixth Division are mainly from Kumamoto, Miyazaki and Kagoshima in Kyushu, Japan. Although the Japanese always brag about the Sixth Division, they have "black skin and bright red blood" and how brave they are.
They are friendly and good at fighting. But no matter how much the Japanese brag, they cannot hide the fact that Kyushu is really too poor. Most of the men there are soldiers as their profession. Fierceness and brutality are their truest portrayal.
Although in this time and space the Sixth Division was not able to display their most brutal side during the Battle of Nanjing due to the appearance of Su Rui, this cannot conceal the fact that they are brutal in nature. In the past few years in China,
Killing and massacre are still their normal practices.
Around the largest courtyard in the center of the town, a squadron of soldiers was closely guarding the place. In a small house in the courtyard, Machijiri Yuki, who had just returned, was sitting at a wooden table with his head lowered to listen to the battle.
Chief of Staff Shimono Kazuhiro's battle report.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, in this morning's battle, the 13th Regiment suffered a total of 1,537 casualties, including 1,0834 dead, and the 47th Regiment suffered more than 450 casualties.
People, the independent anti-aircraft artillery regiment lost seven Taisho 14-year-old 105 anti-aircraft guns, six 150-caliber heavy mortars, and..."
"That's enough! Stop reading it!"
Machijiri Yuki suddenly shouted loudly, and he raised his head suddenly. His eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes and he stared at Shimono Kazuhiro and shouted loudly: "We have only been fighting for a whole morning and we have killed and wounded half the regiment and nearly half of the troops."
Anti-armor firepower, but the other side only lost more than a dozen tanks and hundreds of soldiers. Can you tell me what this is all about?"
Shimono Ichiho was silent. The battle this morning was too fierce. He had never experienced such a fierce battle since he took office as the chief of staff of the Sixth Division. Facing the attacks of more than two hundred tanks, the position
The soldiers on the ground had no good solution at all and could only rely on the soldiers to carry out the jade-breaking attack. But in the face of the overwhelming rain of bullets, those soldiers who carried explosive bags to perform the jade-breaking operation could only get close to the opponent's tank.
There can only be one or two of these, and it is not necessarily guaranteed to blow up the opponent's tank. Such a disparity in ratio made Shimono Kazuhiro, who never took the lives of soldiers seriously, couldn't help but feel terrified.
Looking at the silent Shimono Kazuhiro, Machijiri Yuuki's chest was rising and falling violently. He tried hard to calm down his anger. It took a while before he calmed down. He turned to Shimono Kazuhiro and said: "Shimono-kun, it seems
We can't count on those guys from the Army Aviation Group for the afternoon battle. Their aircraft are far inferior to those of the Chinese. Until the empire develops a new fighter plane that can compete with the Chinese, we can only rely on our ground forces.
Now. Do you, a top student from the 21st class of the Imperial Army University, have any good ideas to deal with the Chinese tanks?"
Shimono Yihuo thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, I think the Chinese tanks are really sharp. You also saw the battle this morning. It's not that our soldiers don't work hard, but they are facing
The rolling steel chariots of the Chinese cannot be resisted by the bravery of the soldiers. I think there are only a few ways to resist the Chinese chariots. One is to dig more anti-tank trenches, but to order independence
The remaining anti-aircraft artillery of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment took cover and waited for the Chinese tanks to approach the position before delivering a fatal blow to them."
Machijiri Ryouki couldn't help but be startled: "You mean to make fun of the jade-smashing attack on China's tanks?"
The so-called jade attack is actually what the Japanese military officers often call a meat bomb attack. In the eyes of the officers, it is the most commonly used method. No one has ever thought that there is anything wrong with it. The same goes for Machijiri Yuki, so he heard
When Shimono Yihuo said this, Machijiri Yuuki couldn't help but feel strange.
Shimono Yihuo shook his head like a rattle, "No, division commander, you have misunderstood me. Although the jade-breaking attack has little effect, it is precisely because of the spirit of the warriors that they risk everything and die with their opponents."
This makes the Chinese people use rat weapons and never dare to rush into our position too unscrupulously. Otherwise, our first line of defense would have been lost long ago."
Machijiri Yuuki asked with some confusion: "What do you mean?"
"I mean exactly the opposite. I think we should take advantage of the truce to send a large number of warriors to lurk on the battlefield. They can pretend to be dead bodies, wounded or hide in bomb craters and all hiding places until the afternoon of the China War.
When the chariots attacked us again, they rushed out unexpectedly and died together with the Chinese chariots. If we can kill a large number of their chariots, we may be able to delay their offensive, and we can easily wait until the arrival of the 13th Division."
Hearing this, Machijiri Yuuki frowned a little, and he asked again: "How many warriors do you think is appropriate to send out to carry out this kind of jade-breaking attack?"
Shimono Yihuo thought for a while and replied: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this kind of operation will not be effective without a small number of people. I think that on such a wide battlefield, at least eight to nine hundred warriors should be sent to lurk.
Waiting until the Chinese chariots launch an attack and then launching a sudden attack together can have the effect of deciding the situation in one fell swoop."
"hiss……"
Machijiri Yuuki couldn't help but take a breath, not because Shimono Ichiho's method was ineffective, but because this method was really inhumane. Although sending soldiers to carry out fatal attacks was also a tactic commonly used by the Japanese army, it was during war.
There is no other way to make a helpless choice under unfavorable circumstances. But so many people have to be sent to carry out the Jade Crushing Operation before the battle has even begun. This is something that has never happened since the establishment of the Japanese army! Moreover, Shimono Ichihogami
When the lips touch the lower lip, there are eight or nine hundred people. This is the size of an infantry brigade, and if this incident is reported back to the mainland, it will definitely cause a sensation and shock. If the battle situation still does not improve after using this method of warfare, then
Machijiri Ryouki was very passive. After all, if the matter of sacrificing a brigade at once was exposed, it would probably arouse criticism.
After thinking for a long time, Machijiri Ryouki shook his head and said: "No, it's daytime. If you send a large number of soldiers to sneak into the battlefield, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Chinese people. It would be better if your plan is implemented at night."
Shimono Yihuo quickly lowered his head and bowed, and then flattered a little: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is right, it's because of the low position and lack of consideration!"
Machijiri Yuuki waved his hand: "Well! But the question now is how will we resist the Chinese attack this afternoon?"
"Yes." Now the two of them couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Suddenly, Shimono Yihuo thought of something. He slapped his thigh and shouted: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have thought of a way."
Machijiri Ryouki asked curiously: "Oh, what can I do?"
Shimono Yihuo said happily: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I remember that there are still some aborigines in this town. We can capture them all and press them to the position. If the Chinese dare to shoot at us in the afternoon, they will die."
A person must be a pariah of these tribes! In this way, the Chinese people will definitely turn against the rat, which can also buy us time."
"Oh, this." A hint of surprise flashed in Machijiri Yuuki's eyes, but then he said with some embarrassment: "Shimono-kun, will this affect the reputation of the imperial army? If the Chinese use this
The incident was widely publicized, and the base camp blamed it..." At this point, Machijiri Yuuki stopped talking.
When Shimono Yihuo heard this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. This guy is really duplicity. He is obviously already moved, but he still makes such a hypocritical gesture. This kind of behavior of wanting to eat mutton but not wanting to eat meat is really too much.
It's disgusting. In order to prevent the disgusted look on his face from being seen by Machijiri Yuuki, Shimono Yihuo lowered his head and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, this idea came from a humble position, so the responsibility naturally lies with you.
It’s a humble job to take on, just don’t worry!”
"Oh!" Sure enough, Machijiri Yuuki felt much better after hearing this. He patted Shimono Yihuo's shoulder and said happily: "Yo Xi, Shimono-kun is indeed the pillar of the empire. Very good. Wait for this
After the battle is over, I will report your achievements to the Commander-in-Chief of the Garden Department, so don’t worry!"
Shimono Yihuo endured the pain in his heart and bowed and said loudly: "Hai, thank you, the division commander, for your support!"
"Well, then hurry up and do the preparation worksheet!"
"Hai!"
Soon, this small town was thrown into chaos because of Machijiri Yuki's order. Groups of heavily armed Japanese soldiers rushed into the people's homes like locusts, killing all those who had not had time to escape or who survived.
The people were all arrested...
Outside the Japanese army's position, two division commanders, Li Chenzhe and Wu Chengfeng, were also having lunch in a tent. In the past two years, as Su Rui resolutely implemented the strategy of developing while fighting, coupled with the massive sales of medicines and various supplies, Su Rui's
There was still a lot of money left in the jurisdiction. While selling sulfonamide powder, penicillin and other medical supplies to the United States, he also bought their soybeans, flour, canned meat and other grains in the American market, and commissioned American cargo ships to continuously transport these.
The shipment of supplies to Guangdong is not a bad thing for the Americans, because the food provided in the four war zones is the highest in China.
Li Chenzhe and Wu Chengfeng both had a canned lunch in front of them, eating it tastelessly while whispering this...
