Chapter 851: No Injury to the Imperial Army (Monthly Ticket)
This made the very anxious regimental chief of staff Tang Yongming and regimental deputy Zhang Ruhao look at each other in confusion.
Tang Yongming had been dealing with Liu Lang since the Battle of the Great Wall. He had already gained Liu Lang's trust and was very clear about Liu Lang's layout in Rehe. In 1933, Zhang Ruhao, who was parachuted from the Ministry of Military Affairs and served as regimental deputy, served as deputy regimental commander in the independent regiment.
He has also done an outstanding job in the past year and a half. In addition to some of the core secrets of the Independent Group that Liu Lang has not disclosed to him, other contacts such as Rehe and Deng Wenbu of Qinglong Mountain have gradually begun to let him
Know.
Although there may still be an intention to investigate, it is undeniable that Zhang Ruhao has basically entered the true core level of the Independent Group and has begun to come into contact with more and more secrets of the Independent Group that are impossible for the bald boss to master.
These two people now know that Liu Lang is interested in Sun Yongqin's troops in the Rehe area. Not to mention that during the Great Wall War of Resistance, he seized the logistics warehouse of the 8th Division and stuffed weapons, ammunition and food into them desperately.
He left his three most valued special forces soldiers there to help him train soldiers. In the past two years, they have been smuggling equipment there on a small scale through Qinglong Mountain.
Obviously, Liu Lang was cultivating Sun Yongqin's unit as a nail firmly inserted into the Japanese-occupied areas, and the money and food he spent on them even exceeded the cost of recruiting another regiment in Sichuan.
However, when the Japanese invaders were about to approach Sun Yongqin's headquarters, why could Liu Tuanzuo still laugh? You know, there were two infantry regiments plus at least one artillery brigade of the Japanese invaders stationed in Rehe.
The power of a few mountain cannons and a dozen infantry cannons is no joke. Even the Independent Regiment and the 288th and 289th Regiments that were in Luowenyu that day relied on superior terrain and complete fortifications to compete. And Sun Yongqin's department had more than 4,000 officers and soldiers in one
A year and a half ago, they were just a bunch of farmers, and their fighting ability was far from theirs.
In the current situation, Sun Yongqin's troops are in great danger. Not to mention continuing to fight against the Japs in the Rehe Mountains, there are doubts as to whether they can evacuate to the Changcheng Mountains through the long-established retreat route.
But just because they don't know, it doesn't mean that the little butterflies that travel through time and space in the future don't know.
Mainly, the reputation of this Japanese army that came to "encircle and suppress" was too great.
Of course Liu Tuanzuo, who knew all this, had to laugh, because the standing division that Xia Wenyun mentioned to encircle and suppress Sun Yongqin's department was really famous. It can be said that among the seventeen standing divisions of the Japanese invaders, this division was the most famous.
, is not even half a point smaller than the Second Division known as the Japanese Guards Division, the Fifth Division known as the Steel Army, or the Sixth Division of the strongest Army. It can even be said that this division
Even decades later, their reputation will be even more popular than those of the above-mentioned divisions.
Although Liu Lang didn't know that this "famous" unit should have been transferred to the Kwantung Army in 1937, he thought it was probably related to the fact that the Eighth Division was defeated by the Independence Regiment two years ago.
In fact, it is indeed true that because of the emergence of Liu Tuanzuo, the little butterfly, the Eighth Division that was supposed to become the humerus of the Kwantung Army was almost crippled. The Japanese Army Base Camp could only endure the toothache and move a certain division that had been hiding in the ice.
The Kwantung Army was transferred in advance to replace the Eighth Division.
Why does the Japanese Army itself dislike its standing division so much? You know, it is one of the seventeen standing divisions that are so awesome in the eyes of the people of the island nation!
Then we have to mention the famous Japanese Fourth Division. The Hawker Division, known as the Osaka Division, is an army composed entirely of vegetable vendors from Osaka.
As Japan's old standing division, the Fourth Division has two brigades and four infantry regiments, plus one regiment each for processing, cavalry, artillery, and artillery, for a total of 8 regiments. Plus the division headquarters, two regiments.
There are a total of 28,200 non-combatants in the brigade headquarters. They are also equipped with first-class weapons and equipment, and they can be called the "elite" Japanese army. Just listening to them makes me think that they are awesome and don't need them.
In fact, if you only care about face, they are absolutely awesome.
The division's reputation did not only rise during the all-out war with China. It was already famous not long after its establishment.
However, it is not the Steel Army or the Guards. The proud Emperor of Japan is probably not very happy to let a bunch of small vegetable vendors protect him! Of course, the real reason is that the nickname of the Fourth Division is "Peddler Division".
In addition to the regiment, there is also the title of "wimp". Especially the core unit of the 4th Division - the 8th Regiment, because of its repeated defeats in the Russo-Japanese War, it was awarded the title of "Eighth Regiment Not Afraid of Defeat"
nickname.
The 4th Division, which is not afraid of defeat no matter what, is actually not a wimp, they are also brave and courageous. Before the outbreak of the all-out war between China and Spacetime, the 4th Division, which had already become famous, never had the chance to go to the front line.
However, this does not mean that it does not have the opportunity to show its "brave" spirit.
In 1933, Private Matsui of the Fourth Division ran a red light in downtown Osaka and clashed with the police. Lieutenant General Juichi Terauchi, the commander of the division, resolutely led his troops to smash the police station in order to "maintain the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army." This is known in history as "
"The Osaka Military-Police Conflict Incident" shows the "militancy" of the Fourth Division in Japan. At least, it is very bloody as a soldier. In the words of the hawkers: Whoever dares to bully our brother, my brother will take his head off
Come down and sell them as vegetables.
The "bravery" and "unity" at home certainly cannot prove the prestige of the Fourth Division.
In the past, in 1937, due to the shortage of Japanese troops stationed in China, the Japanese base camp transferred the Fourth Division to Northeast China and placed it under the Kwantung Army. How can this army, which is full of fights and fights, be full of fighting spirit?
What? The Japanese base camp really put a lot of thought into it, and concluded that the commander plays a decisive role in the combat effectiveness of a unit, so the Japanese base camp successively transferred several famous generals to train the division, such as Yamashita, nicknamed the "Malay Tiger"
Fengwen once served as the division commander, but he could not do anything about the free and unorganized Fourth Division.
After two years of intensive training, the Fourth Division finally had a chance to show its face. In 1939, a war broke out between the Red Polar Bears and Japan in the Nomenkan area on the Sino-Mongolian border. The Kwantung Army ordered to be stationed in Osaka and Sendai in the northern part of the puppet Manchukuo.
The division was mobilized urgently to reinforce the front line. After receiving the order, the Sendai Division, also known as the extremely powerful Second Guards Division, marched for four days from Hylar to Nomenkan, and went into battle the same day they arrived on the battlefield. Then,
Soon, the prestigious Guards Division was reduced to rubble by the fighting nation equipped with aircraft, cannons and tanks.
Of course, if the Fourth Division appears with them, and there are 28,000 more people, I am afraid that the final corrupted battle situation will be a little bit stronger. After all, it is still 28,000 guns, even if it is 28,000 pigs? But that is
It's just the Kwantung Army's top brass trying to comfort themselves.
In fact, the Fourth Division didn't even bother to fight against the fighting nations. For them, facing off against the scum-like red polar bears simply "insulted" their combat effectiveness. Therefore, the order to dispatch the Fourth Division was issued.
, but it just didn’t move.
The reason was that after the mobilization order was issued, there was a sudden cold wave, and the number of disease patients in the division increased sharply. Looking around, the whole camp was full of officers and soldiers who asked to stay behind for various reasons. The excited Japanese commander, in a rage, personally sat in the infirmary to participate.
After diagnosis, he reluctantly organized the troops and marched to the front line. The joke about "the captain changed his career to become a doctor" spread among the Japanese army.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division who were determined not to fight with Zhazha did not recover physically because of the captain's outburst. Although they were able to insist on carrying out the military orders to dispatch, their bodies were still a little "weak". Therefore, the entire division never recovered.
From Hailar to Nomenkan, the Second Division walked for 4 days, but they walked for 8 days, and there were still a large number of people left behind. Coincidentally, on the day the advance team of the 4th Division arrived at the front line, the Polar Bears and Japan declared a truce.
When the news came, the laggard officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division quickly followed up as if they had taken a powerful pill. Even many of the officers and soldiers left behind rushed to the front line "sickly" while still complaining with great frustration that they had no chance to fight.
Ironically, on the way back, the 4th Division, fully equipped and full of energy, became the most powerful force in the Japanese army. However, the 2nd Division, which was the first to arrive on the battlefield, lost its armor and suffered wounded soldiers.
Man Ying. The officer in charge of news and propaganda of the Kwantung Army couldn't stand it anymore. He picked up a pen and changed the headline of the news "My Invincible Imperial Army's Fourth Division Returns with Power" that the Japanese newspaper submitted for review by one word, to "I am not injured."
"The Imperial Army's Fourth Division Returns with Power", mocking this "softie" unit in a roundabout way.
Of course, this is only the performance of the Fourth Division in 1939. In the future, they will have more stories that will crush the teeth of the Japanese base camp in battles with the Chinese army.
Anyway, by using a popular saying among the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division when bidding farewell: "I will fight with all my strength," we can see their attitude towards combat.
Translated, it means "take care of your body", "your body is the most important thing", or to put it more plainly, it means "preserving your life first".
