Chapter 822: The Head of the Division Becomes a Military Physician
News that the 104th Division suffered large-scale false injuries quickly spread to Nanjing.
Due to the theft of the Type 96 long-range bomber and the bombing of the Caochangmen arsenal, the commander of the Condemnation Army in Central China, Hisao Nishio, was reprimanded by the base camp. His mood was already very bad. After hearing the news, his mood became even worse.
The situation was so bad that Chief of Staff Kawabe Shozo was immediately summoned to the office.
"Hebian Sang, what happened to the 104th Division?"
Nishio Juzo sat behind the big table and looked at Shozo by the river with a sad look.
"Hai, there is indeed a little trouble with the 104th Division." Kawabe Masami paused slightly, not daring to look at Nishio Hisao because he had raised objections when the raiding plan was originally drawn up.
He believed that the 104th Division was too embarrassed to be used and it would be best to replace it with the 106th Division.
However, Kawabe Shozo refused on the grounds that the 106th Division had been severely damaged in De'an and had not yet recovered its combat effectiveness, and it had just participated in the Wuhan Battle and was in urgent need of rest. Nishio Hisao was a traditional soldier and strictly abided by the military's orders.
, did not interfere too much in the formulation of the battle plan, and approved Kawabe Shozo's decision.
But the current facts have proven that Nishio Hisao's worries were right.
Therefore, when faced with Nishio Juzo, Kawabe Shozo inevitably felt a little guilty.
"A little trouble?" Nishio Juzo said with a dark face, "Kawabian-san, something seems wrong, right? How did I hear that there was a large-scale false injury situation in the 104th Division? Four regiments, 15,000
Out of a thousand people, only less than 3,000 were ordered to rush to the assembly area. However, the four field hospitals of the 104th Division were all crowded with "wounded". I can't understand why the mopping up operations haven't even started yet.
Where do so many wounded people come from? Is this a little trouble?"
"Hai." Seeing that he couldn't hide away, Masami Hebian could only pause and say, "The 104th Division did make a bit of a fuss this time. However, I have just contacted the commander of the Miyake Division about this matter. Miyake
The division commander replied that he had rushed to the No. 1 Field Hospital for emergency treatment and stated that officers and soldiers who pretended to be injured would be dealt with seriously."
"Emergency treatment?" Nishio Hisao frowned and said, "How does Miyake Toshio plan to deal with it?"
Kawabe Shozo said: "The commander of the Miyake Division will personally sit in the field hospital to examine the injuries of the wounded who have been falsely injured."
"Nani? The division commander is a military doctor?" Nishio Hisao's forehead immediately had three black lines floating on his head, and he laughed at himself, "If this matter gets spread, I don't know what will happen to my colleagues in the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army."
If you laugh at us, Toshio Miyake will also be remembered in history, but not as a division commander, but as a military doctor."
Kawabe Shozo was speechless, but to be honest, he also felt it was embarrassing to say this.
"I don't care about how to deal with the problem now." Nishio Kushizo knocked on the table and said, "but what to do about the next raid? Even if Toshio Miyake calms down this fraud incident, so what?
He has dealt with all the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers who were falsely wounded. How many people are left in the 104th Division? How will this battle be fought next?"
Kawabe Shozo said: "Don't worry, General, only a few of the culprits will be severely punished as role models, and most of the remaining officers and soldiers who blindly follow will only be punished by withholding their military pay. Moreover, we should take this opportunity to rectify the 104th Division."
The regiment's military discipline will be maintained so that nothing will happen again in the subsequent mopping up operations."
"Kawabe-san, I'm afraid you have overlooked one issue, time, time!" Nishio Hisao knocked on the table and said, "Even if the fraud scandal of the 104th Division is finally put to rest, we still need to investigate.
It will take three to five days to deal with so many officers and soldiers who are falsely injured. This will inevitably lead to a disconnect between the three armies. Aren't you afraid that after Xu Rui gets the news, he will hit us with a time lag? First defeat the Iida detachment or
The Sixth Division?”
However, Kawabe Shozo said confidently: "Your Excellency, the General, is overly worried. I have ordered the Kumamoto Division and the Iida Detachment to temporarily stop advancing, and wait until the 104th Division has dealt with the false injury incident before moving forward together.
Although this will delay three to five days, it will not hinder the overall situation."
Nishio Shouzou did not retort further, but just snorted and said: "I just hope that nothing more will happen to the 104th Division. The Dameishan Independent Regiment is an army with extremely fierce fighting power. Xu Rui is more
He is an extremely cunning opponent. If the 104th Division fails again and again, then the prospect of this mopping up operation will be worrying. Hebian Sang, just take care of yourself."
"Hai." The riverside man nodded his head three times.
(Dividing line)
Pukou, the first field hospital affiliated to the 104th Division.
By bribing fellow military doctors, two superior soldiers from the 108th Infantry Regiment and the 1st Infantry Battalion, Ono Roku and Akita Otoichi, finally got their wish and were admitted to the ward of the field hospital, and became gloriously wounded veterans.
Next, all you need to do is lie down and recuperate.
Akita was timid and asked Ono 16: "Ono-san, is there no problem if we do this?"
"What's the problem? We're not the only ones doing this." Ono Shiliu snorted and added, "There are 25,000 people in the division, but more than half of them are falsely injured. The Military Justice Department can still kill us all.
Arrested and shot? Don't worry, I remember when I first joined the army, a senior from my hometown told me that the law does not punish the public."
"The law does not punish everyone?" Akita Yi nodded, finally relieved.
But after a while, Akita Otoichi said again: "However, Ono-san, what we did is quite bad. As an imperial soldier, we don't even have the courage to step onto the battlefield and fight the enemy. It's really embarrassing."
"Shameful? Akita-san, you are so naive." Ono Shiliu said, "Let me ask you, what is the most important thing for a person to live in this world?"
"Make money." Akita Otoichi said without hesitation, "Marry a beautiful wife, have a lot of children, and live a prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing."
"Hey!" Ono Shiroku slapped his thigh and said, "In this world, making money, playing with women, and enjoying life are the most important things. Only those uncivilized barbarians from Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido can really
Do you believe in jihad, and then you clamor to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, sacrifice your life for the Empire, and then stupidly go to the battlefield to fight to the death with the enemy? Our Osaka is not an uncivilized wilderness, and we Osaka people will not be that stupid.
"
Akita Otoichi then asked: "Ono-san, is this Dameishan Independent Group really that scary?"
Ono Shiliu rolled his eyes, and then said angrily: "Didn't you also participate in the battle at Hat Mountain? You actually asked me such an idiot question." After a pause, Ono Shiliu said again, "
Let me tell you this, without counting the number of soldiers killed by the Dameishan Independent Regiment, there are already more than ten generals who were killed or captured by them."
Akita Otoichi was speechless when he heard this: "Oh my God, this Dameishan Independent Group is really awesome."
"How can it be false? Especially since the Dameishan Independent Regiment also has a special force called Langya. Those guys are simply not human beings, but a group of devils. Only idiots would make enemies of such devils." Ono Shiliu
He added, "We Osaka people are never stupid, that's why so many people cheat."
While the two were talking, the door to the ward was suddenly kicked open hard.
The door flipped back and hit the wall with a loud bang.
Ono Roku and Akita Oto were startled for a moment. When they looked up quickly, they saw a general with two general stars on his epaulettes. He came in surrounded by a large group of junior officers and lieutenants. He turned out to be a lieutenant general? The entire first
There is only one lieutenant general in the 104th Division, and that is the division commander, Toshio Miyake, and he is actually the division commander himself?
Akita Otoichi instinctively wanted to stand up so that he could bow to the division commander.
Ono Shiroku immediately became anxious when he saw it, Akita, you are a pig, you injured your thigh. According to the injury diagnosis given by the military doctor, you can't sit up at all now. Seeing that Akita's fake injury is about to be exposed,
Ono Shiroku immediately let out a loud yelp, which was so timely that Akita lay down again just as he sat up halfway.
Then Akita also groaned and said with a face full of pain: "Division Commander, I'm so sorry, we are injured, so I'm afraid we won't be able to salute you."
Toshio Miyake looked at Ono Roku and Akita Otoichi with pity. The Osaka military doctor in charge of this ward handed the medical record to Toshio Miyake. Miyake Toshio looked at the medical record and said: "Ono Roku, private
, Showa 10th soldier, Akita Otsuichi, superior soldier, Showa 10th soldier, all veterans."
After humming twice, Miyake Toshio continued to read: "Injury: stabbed with a sharp blade, magnitude: serious injury, Ono-san's wound is on his left arm. Because of the injury to the tendons, he will not be able to use his arm for half a month. Akita
The wound was on the right thigh. It damaged the artery and caused excessive blood loss. He needed to lie down and rest for at least half a month?"
After closing the medical record, Toshio Miyake added: "Ono-san, Akita-san, you are all veterans. I am very confused. How could you injure one of your own in a simple assassination training?"
Ono Shiliu replied: "Division Commander, we had a bad meal last night. We were a little weak and our legs were sluggish. As a result, when we made the assassination move, the stab was crooked and stabbed Akita-san's right leg. Akita-san
Sang stabbed me crookedly because of the pain, and stabbed my left arm, which is how I sustained the injury."
"But wooden guns are used in assassination training!" Toshio Miyake roared, "Can wooden guns also cause serious injuries?"
"Ah, well..." Ono Roku replied calmly, "We are not going to the battlefield right away. Considering that there will be a brutal and fierce battle next, Akita-san and I wanted to get familiar with it through assassination training.
It’s a cruel atmosphere, so this morning’s training used real guns and knives.”
