The unexpected destruction of the Iida detachment shocked Kawabe Shozo greatly. Especially the cruel reality that the Dameishan Independent Regiment had a heavy artillery group gave Kawabe Shozo a blow. Kawabe Shozo could not imagine that Dameishan Independence
Where did the regiment's heavy artillery group come from?
Moreover, this is a huge heavy artillery cluster consisting of at least two hundred heavy artillery pieces!
Two hundred heavy artillery. You must know that the Japanese field heavy artillery brigade only has more than a hundred large-caliber heavy artillery. This means that the Dameishan Independent Regiment now almost has more than two heavy artillery brigades. This is simply sensational.
Because the entire Japanese Army only has six heavy artillery brigades.
Therefore, Kawabe Shozo refused to believe that the news was true no matter what.
Although Shiga Tadashi assured him that his pilots had indeed seen the heavy artillery cluster of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, Kawabe Shozo still did not believe it.
Therefore, Kawabe Shozo immediately ordered the Special High School Division of the Military Police to investigate the matter.
However, the investigation of the Special High School will not produce results immediately, but the raid on Dameishan cannot be delayed any longer. If it continues to be dragged on, Hebian Zhengzo is very worried that this raid will really be aborted, and his
My military career is really coming to an end.
For his own honor, and even for his own future, Kawabe Shozo decided to fight to the death!
After explaining to the military police, Kawabe Shozo crossed the river from Shimonoseki Pier and hurried to Pukou. This old devil was going to personally intervene in the Osaka Division's fraud incident!
After arriving at Pukou, Kawabe Shozo did not go to the division headquarters of the Osaka Division. Instead, he went directly to the Osaka Division's First Field Hospital located in the north of Pukou Town, and met the division doctor who personally acted as a military doctor in the hospital.
The leader is Toshio Miyake.
Before coming to Uakou, Kawabe Shozo did not notify the Osaka Division, so Miyake Toshio was slightly surprised by Kawabe Shozo's sudden arrival.
"Riverside-san?" Miyake Toshio asked in surprise, "Why did you come to Pukou?"
Kawabe Shozo waved his hand and asked Miyake Toshio: "Miyake-san, how is the progress of the injury examination?"
Miyake Toshio waved to the attendants in the ward to leave first, and also carried out the two wounded soldiers who were undergoing injury examination. Then he sighed and said to Kawabe Shozo: "Kawabe-san, the injury examination is in progress.
It's very unsatisfactory, these Osaka traders are more difficult to deal with than imagined."
Kawabe Shozo asked: "Miyake-san, what are the main problems?"
Miyake Toshio said: "External injuries are easy to detect, but many soldiers falsely claim to be suffering from malaria, cold, diarrhea and other epidemic diseases. Due to the lack of effective means, it is difficult to detect. What is even more hateful is that military doctors in the hospital,
The nurse also colluded with the soldiers who faked injuries and deceived the superiors in various ways."
Kawabe Shozo asked again: "If we follow the normal procedures, how long will it take for the injury examination to be completed? After the injury examination is completed, how much combat strength will the Osaka Division have left?"
Toshio Miyake shook his head and said dejectedly: "If the procedures are followed normally, it will take at least ten more days to complete all the injury examinations. As for how much combat strength the Osaka Division can have left, the most optimistic estimate is that it may not be possible.
More than fifteen thousand people.”
"Baga!" Hebian Zhengsan said angrily, "Doesn't this mean that nearly half of the combat strength has been lost before the battle? What kind of army is this?"
Toshio Miyake remained silent, but he cursed in his heart, why are you angry with me?
Kawabe Shozo immediately realized his gaffe and immediately apologized to Miyake Toshio.
Then Hebian Shosantetsu said with a green face: "Miyake-san, I'm afraid we don't have much time to let these bastards continue to run wild. We must use iron fist to punish these traders and help them turn into Imperial soldiers again!"
"Iron-fisted means?" Toshio Miyake hesitated and said, "Kawabe-san, you should know that these Osaka merchants are not easy to deal with. Their parents and ancestors are very influential in the imperial business and political circles.
What if there is any trouble..."
"I will bear all the consequences!" Kawabe Shozo said without hesitation, "Miyake-san, just go ahead and do it, because we really don't have time anymore."
Toshio Miyake took a deep look at Shozo Kabebe and thought to himself, I'm afraid you, Shozo Kabebe, don't have time?
For Miyake Toshio, even if the raid on Daimeishan was aborted, it would not have much impact. Although the Osaka Division's fraudulent incident was embarrassing, it would not affect his personal future and honor.
, because everyone knows what a bunch of people the Osaka Division is.
However, Toshio Miyake would not go against Shozo Kawabe.
Since you, Shozo Kawabe, are willing to bear the consequences of offending Osaka's business and political leaders, then I, Toshio Miyake, will also be happy to accompany you. In any case, if we can really deal with these Osaka merchants with an iron fist, it will not only relieve his anger, but also make him, Toshio Miyake, a leader.
The military has gained a reputation for running the army with an iron fist, so why not?
At that moment, Toshio Miyake paused heavily and said: "Riverside-san, I understand!"
After saying that, Miyake Toshio turned around and was about to leave, but Shozo by the river suddenly said, "Miyake-san, I'll go with you."
Toshio Miyake frowned slightly, but nodded and said, "Okay."
At that moment, the two people left the ward and came to the assembly area outside Pukou Town, which was the assembly area selected previously for the 8th Tank Regiment.
Immediately, Miyake Toshio issued an order to carry all "wounded soldiers" to the assembly area.
Miyake Toshio's order was issued quickly, and then nearly 20,000 "sick and sick" patients from the four field hospitals were carried to the assembly area. In order to complete this huge work, it took nearly a whole morning.
.
Ono Roku and Akita Otoichi were the last batch of wounded to be carried to the assembly area.
Looking at the white stretchers scattered all over the floor, Akita Otoichi felt a little flustered for no reason, and whispered to Ono Shiliu: "Ono-san, what are they going to do?"
Ono Shiliu's face was also more solemn than ever before, and he whispered: "No, looking at this posture, the division commander is probably going to be serious this time."
"Be real?" Akita Otoichi said blankly, "What does being serious mean?"
"Baga, you are simply stupider than a pig." Ono Shiliu cursed in a low voice, "The so-called real action is to kill chickens to scare monkeys, that is, to kill a few unlucky guys who are pretending to be sick and injured to scare us, and then
Give us another guarantee, saying that bygones is bygones, that's basically it."
"Ah, you want to kill someone?" Akita Otoichi said sadly, "What should I do?"
"You don't have to be afraid." Ono Shiliu shook his head and said, "It won't be so unlucky. The division commander will choose us in the first selection... Don't be afraid!"
As soon as Ono Shiliu finished speaking, he saw four military policemen with armbands on their arms coming over with murderous intent, and then without saying a word, they lifted up their stretchers. In just a moment, they carried them out.
Arriving at the front of the assembly area, they were placed on a temporary high platform.
On the high platform, Chief of Staff Kaoru Kataoka of the Osaka Division had already set up a microphone.
Toshio Miyake walked to the high platform and said loudly into the microphone: "The Osaka Division is a heroic division formed during the Meiji period. It participated in the Russo-Japanese War and the Japanese-German War and made great achievements for the empire. We
Although the 104th Division is a special division based on the reserves of the Osaka Division, what we inherit is the tradition of the Osaka Division and the glory of the Osaka Division. We must not give it to our ancestors.
It’s embarrassing, let alone discrediting the empire!”
After saying that, Miyake Toshio lowered his head and glanced at Ono Roku and Akita Otoichi on the stretcher.
Toshio Miyake was deeply impressed by these two "wounded people" and hated them to the core!
Toshio Miyake continued: "A soldier should look like a soldier, and a samurai should have the glory of a samurai. But in the midst of a war, he deliberately kills himself in training in an attempt to escape the war. What kind of soldier is this? What kind of samurai is this?
?”
Hearing this, Ono Shiroku shuddered, because he had realized that he and Akita Otoichi had been selected as the negative examples of this time, and if they didn't try to save themselves, then the two of them might really be in danger.
They are doomed, and the business and political leaders who are related to them may not be able to save them.
At that moment, Ono Shiliu jumped up from the stretcher and shouted: "Division Commander!"
Miyake Toshio glanced at Ono Shiroku coldly and asked, "What else do you have to say?"
"Division Commander, I swear on the honor of the eighteenth generation of Ono family ancestors that I really did not commit suicide." Seeing Toshio Miyake's brows furrowed, Ono Shiroku immediately changed the subject and said loudly, "But this little kid
The injury really doesn’t matter, and it can’t stop me from dedicating my life to opening up new territories for the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor.”
Having said this, he deliberately paused, and then Ono Roku turned around and faced the tens of thousands of Osaka vendors in the audience. He shouted to the sky at the top of his lungs: "Division Commander, I can still fight for the country! I can still fight for the emperor."
Your Majesty is galloping on the battlefield, please don’t leave me in the field hospital, please allow me to go to the battlefield, please!”
After finishing speaking, Ono Roku turned around again and bowed deeply to Toshio Miyake.
As soon as he finished speaking, Akita Otoichi, who was lying on another stretcher, jumped up. He bowed deeply to Toshio Miyake, and then said with a sigh: "Commander of the division, my father has always taught me to be diligent and thrifty in running the family and to serve the country with loyalty and courage, so
, A mere minor injury is nothing. I also beg the division commander not to leave me in the hospital at the rear just because of a minor injury. I want to go to the battlefield, I want to fight for my country, and I want to die for His Majesty the Emperor. Division
Captain, please!"
Miyake Toshio was stunned there, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
The sincerity of their words and the determination of their fighting spirit were like the style of ancient martial arts!
The next moment, under the high platform, the injured and injured patients who were originally lying on stretchers stood up one after another and impassionedly appealed to Toshio Miyake. The scene was so warm and the atmosphere was unprecedented. These Osaka merchants were really
Human beings are all aware of the danger and are unwilling to act like this example.
