Chapter 779: Japan (23)
After the operation on Shikoku Island was ended, various units of the Far Eastern Army rested and recuperated in various parts of Shikoku. But Hikten's cavalry unit was not idle, and he had to take turns patrolling every day.
Because of the small size of Shikoku and the mountainous environment, it was not suitable for large-scale use of cavalry, so only one brigade of troops was equipped with war horses, and most of the cavalry units that landed this time were used as infantry.
The Admiralty is also taking advantage of this time to transport a large number of war horses from Kyushu Island to the coast of Honshu Island in the Honshu Island, and two cavalry divisions will land in the Bunqiu area and then receive the horses to directly participate in the Battle of Osaka.
Hikten rode a war horse leisurely on the country road near Kochi City, compared to Kyushu Island, the folk customs of Shikoku Island are not so strong, so after a sweep in the Far East, there is basically no resistance in various places now. Many civilians who fled to the mountains survived for a few days and then descended one after another. So when Hikten and they patrolled, they were also extraordinarily relaxed.
In the distance, a large number of Japanese civilians were slowly walking towards him. This is the working group of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, which is in the process of reorganizing the civilians of Shikoku Island and gradually distributing them to various places.
The long line was far away, and the Japanese civilians in the line were all very well-behaved, even if they were a few years old and the elderly, they all gritted their teeth and persevered. The death army troops in charge of escorting walked on both sides of the line with a vicious look, and as soon as someone walked a little slower, they immediately rushed over and whipped a few times.
Hikten has become more and more dislike these daredevils in the past few days, before the war, these guys were very humble and polite, and the discipline was extremely strict, which made the indigenous cavalry of the Outer Northeast very admired, but since the war, these guys have instantly become beasts.
Although they fought bravely. But they are too cruel. He had seen a daredevil's samurai tear a month-old baby in half, and Hickten could barely control his emotions and wanted to shoot the bastard.
Several samurai of the Death Army, who were escorting Japanese civilians, saw Hikten and them, and hurriedly ran up a few steps. He bowed, and then shouted loudly, "My lord, it's been a great effort...... We'll be right there, so please wait. ”
After they finished speaking, they ran back to the team, picked up the whips, and slapped the Japanese civilians in the team with their heads and faces, and loudly urged them to speed up. The Japanese civilians, who were already exhausted, could only trot through this section.
Hikten took a deep breath and turned away from the old men and children in the group. A moment of effort. The long line finally passed. Several daredevils ran over again.
"My lord, I ask your pardon for delaying your time......"
They kept bowing until they had gone away, when they raised their heads and turned to catch up with the group, and began to shout and curse again.
In this Japanese campaign, the Military Commission had two divisions of the Death Army. It includes four brigades with a total number of more than 30,000 people. In two battles on the island of Kyushu and Shikoku. The performance of the Death Army units was excellent.
When he charges, he is a commando, when he kills, he is an executioner, and he can also act as a puppet army security team on weekdays. Anyway, any dirty work can be handed over to them, and they are absolutely assured. Even Gao Jianguo often secretly admired that if the quality of the low-level combatants was purely speaking, the Japanese could definitely be regarded as the best soldiers.
In the anti-Japanese drama, the Japanese devils are blackened to the fullest. Let hundreds of millions of people look very happy, in fact, it is not like that at all, to kill a little devil back then, we had to die several, or even more.
As you can imagine. China's eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been so difficult to survive. It is absolutely a miracle that we used our own flesh and blood to face the aircraft artillery of Little Japan, and the ferocious Japanese invaders like beasts, who were able to hold out for eight years. The change of country has surrendered several times, and no matter how many people there are, it is useless.
Since the Japanese death army is so useful, the Far East Company will certainly not be polite. After studying and deciding, the Central Military Commission has successively set up several training camps in various parts of Kyushu and Shikoku Islands, and in the future, it will train three new divisions and regiments, totaling about 50,000 brave soldiers.
In the future, the Far East will move to the Central Plains, of course, nothing will happen to them. However, in the future, when the Far East conquers the South Asian subcontinent, the Indochina Peninsula, Australia, New Guinea, the Americas, Africa and other regions, the Death Army will be the main force of the Military Commission.
The Death Army will use the first batch of veteran Death Army Wings brought out by Fujita, as well as the independent Death Army Brigade established later, as the backbone of grassroots cadres. The weapons of the daredevils are still mainly cold weapons and front-loading rifled muskets, and they are not equipped with other support units. Combat logistical support units at all levels will be temporarily deployed from other units in front of the station.
Although the Japanese employees have proved their loyalty to the Far East more than once, most of the employees in the company will never forget the catastrophe of our nation. Always be wary of these little Japan, and you can't trust them anyway.
Therefore, although the company's Japanese immigrants and laborers perform very well in all aspects, most of them are only active in various grassroots positions, and the hope of promotion in the future is also very slim.
Fortunately, Japanese employees are very peaceful, even after many years, many Japanese grassroots ordinary employees are already gray-haired, but they are still conscientious about their own work.
With the gradual stabilization of Shikoku Island, the Military Commission also began to prepare for the next move. The spearhead was directed at Honshu Island, the final target of the Japanese campaign.
The first to act was still the Admiralty, and a large number of warships began to appear along the coast of Honshu Island, and a large-scale sweep was carried out on ships along the coast of Honshu Island, as well as docks along the coast.
After entering the winter, the company's immigration operations in various parts of Daming have all ended. In order to cooperate with this operation, the Admiralty mobilized all ships used for immigration to the coast of Japan to strengthen the maritime forces of the Japanese campaign.
The Air Force also dispatched several airship groups and more than 20 delta-wing planes from various localities to strengthen the air force in the final stage of the Japanese campaign.
A few days later, numerous ships began to converge on the coast of Kyushu and Shikoku, and a large number of Far Eastern troops began to board ships and headed for the last stop of the campaign, the Japanese island of Honshu.
The Central Military Commission dispatched more than a dozen militia brigades from the Outer Northeast to coordinate with some units of the Japanese Death Army to garrison Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island to maintain local law and order. The rest of the troops boarded ships and headed for the island of Honshu. (To be continued......)
