Chapter 169 The Weak Fourth Division (Sixth Shift Asks for a Monthly Pass)
Shiro Inaba and Ichiro Nanata didn't believe what Sawada Shigeru said at all, they couldn't figure out how to transfer the Fourth Division here, they had been staying in the Northeast before.
Not only did they not understand, but even the soldiers and officers of the Fourth Division also couldn't understand that they had a good life in the northeast and could do some small business, but they were transferred to the front line, which made them very depressed.
Originally, they were going to come last month, but they have been grinding until now, and some soldiers are "sick!" "Now, it's still on the way, and now those who come here have been forcibly arrested!
"General Sawada Shigeru, the Eighth Route here is not so easy to deal with, they are even more difficult to deal with than the national army on the Chongqing side, the national army on the Chongqing side is all fighting positional warfare, but the Eighth Route will not fight a positional war with you.
They are all guerrillas, and every time a small group of troops goes out, it is very dangerous, and they often concentrate a large number of troops to ambush our troops, or send small groups of troops to harass our troops, you must pay attention to this! Shouichi Terauchi continued to speak.
"Hey!" Sawada Shigeru said.
At this time, the officers above the wing commander of the 6th Division and the 20th Division were already waiting outside, and they were waiting for the new division commander, and Terauchi Shouichi talked inside for a while, and then let Shiro Inaba and Ichiro Nanata go out, and in the conference room of the headquarters, there were only two of them left.
"What is the morale of the 4th Division?" Shouichi Terauchi said.
"Report to the general, good!" Sawada Shigeru stood up and said.
"Let's be honest! I was the commander of that division, and I know the virtues of those soldiers! Shouichi Terauchi said.
"Hey, they don't want to come, there are still more than 3,000 soldiers in the hospital in Manchuria!" Sawada Shigeru lowered his head and said.
"Yaga, I knew it was like this. I didn't understand how those people were also soldiers of the Empire, how could this be! Terauchi Shouichi scolded very unhappily and said.
"Hey, though, please rest assured, I'll urge them to fight!" Sawada Shigeru said.
"Yes. Supervision is to supervise, however, I don't expect you to take the initiative to attack, this is not realistic at all, I hope you can hold those county seats, especially this place in Zhongyang County, this is here! As soon as Terauchi Shou said, he turned around, pointed to the location of Zhongyang County on the map behind, and said to Sawada Shigeru.
"Hey!" Sawada Shigeru nodded and said.
"It was the closest to our line of communication. According to our intelligence, the Chongqing side has sent a telegram to the Eighth Route that it must destroy our railway, and the most important task of your troops is to hold this railway.
So. Here, you must send a wing of troops. And you must defend the county seat! Along the railway, we have other troops guarding it, and your task is not to let the Eighth Route pass under your noses, and if you do this, even if you have made a great contribution.
Troops of one of your wings go over. I don't think they dare to take the initiative to attack you on the Eighth Road, they don't dare to attack the city, unless your troops have suffered heavy casualties! "Terauchi Shou told Sawada Shigeru about the situation in Zhongyang County at the beginning.
Sawada Shigeru heard it and nodded. Hearing that it was okay to just hold the county seat of Zhongyang County, he was relieved, not that he was cowardly, but that he knew that it was difficult for the soldiers below him to let them go to the front line to fight, and if he held the county seat, the problem was not big!
"This time you send a wing over there, and at the same time, I will ask the Sixth Division to transfer 2 squadrons of troops to assist you.
And you, you have to patrol the surrounding area of the county, you can't let the Eighth Road pass through the county, to the railway, the troops on the railway, after all, can't have soldiers standing every meter, this is unrealistic, the main thing is to swim sentinels! Shouichi Terauchi said.
"Hi, I see, please rest assured, Commander!" Sawada Shigeru said.
"So which wing are you going to send over?" Shouichi Terauchi asked.
Originally, he didn't have to ask about this matter at all, but he really didn't worry about the soldiers under the Fourth Division.
"This, I'm going to transfer the 8th Wing over, they have the most troops, and they also have combat experience!" Sawada Shigeru heard it, thought for a moment, and spoke.
However, I was also worried in my heart, I don't know if those soldiers of the 8th Wing will scold themselves when they learn that they have sent them over, and maybe half of the soldiers will be hospitalized in Taiyuan by then, in fact, hundreds of soldiers from the 4th Division have gone to the hospital in Taiyuan.
The soldiers of the 4th Division, although they were reluctant to fight, were not slow to inquire about the news, and when they learned that there were many 8th Routes active in the northwest and southwest, and that the troops of the 6th Division and the 20th Division were disabled, they immediately thought that this place was not safe, and the hospital was safe.
So many people who heard the news immediately went to the hospital, pretending to have stomach pain, dizziness, chest discomfort, stomach pain, anyway, all kinds of excuses, as long as they don't go to the front line.
And those soldiers who realized it later, they also ran to the hospital of the division and regiment, and just halfway through, they felt that it was still not safe, and it was safer to go to the hospital of the Taiyuan Headquarters, so they changed routes and rushed to the hospital of the Taiyuan Headquarters.
When they got there, they found that some of the soldiers of their division were holding their stomachs, some were lying on the ground and shouting, and some were leaning against the wall and shouting there.
Soon, the news was sent to the command.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in!" Shouichi Terauchi was talking to Shigeru Sawada when he heard a knock on the door and shouted to come in.
"Your Excellency, a telegram from the hospital!" A staff officer walked in and said to Shouichi Terauchi, who, as soon as Shouichi heard it, took the telegram and looked at it carefully.
"Yaga!" After seeing the content of the telegram, Terauchi Shou stood up angrily, and Sawada Shigeru didn't know what was going on, and he didn't expect that this matter was still related to him, his troops had just arrived, and the matter at the hospital must have nothing to do with him.
"Baga, you go back now, no, go to the hospital, and arrest all your soldiers for me, go now, I know that they will definitely not be so honest!" Shoudai Terauchi shouted at Sawada Shigeru.
"Nani?" Sawada Shigeru was completely confused, so he still had his own business!
"Look, look at the telegram from the hospital, look at the soldiers, damn it, they're going to the hospital as soon as they come here, are they really sick? Not even the recruits who just came over! Damn, how did the base camp get them here! Shouichi Terauchi scolded loudly there.
Sawada Shigeru heard it, picked up the telegram on the table, and read it.
"Yaga, I'll go over right away!" When Sawada Shigeru saw such a telegram, his face turned red with anger, and he turned around and went out, too much to smear his face, and on the first day he came, he went straight to the hospital.
After Sawada Shigeru came out, he immediately got in the car, and rushed to the Taiyuan Headquarters Hospital with his guards, and just arrived at the gate of the hospital, he saw a lot of soldiers rushing here, and there were a lot of soldiers from their division standing at the entrance of the hospital.
"Baga, give me all back to the camp, give me back immediately, otherwise I will kill you!" After Shigeru Sawada got off the bus, he stood there and shouted loudly.
Those soldiers acted as if they didn't hear it, what should they do, the angry Sawada Shigeru took out his gun and walked directly inside, and when he arrived at the door, he found that he couldn't get in at all, it was full of people, and there was no place to stuff his feet!
"Baga, go back, go back!"
"Bang bang bang!" Sawada Shigeru retreated to the outside of the hospital, shot at the sky and shouted, there was no soldier to pay attention to him at all, thinking to himself, if you have the ability, you will shoot, anyway, you don't dare to kill me, I was injured and was hospitalized!
"Damn, go, go back to the battalion and transfer troops, and drag me back one by one!" Shigeru Sawada stood there, and when he saw the soldiers ignoring him so much, he immediately shouted at one of the staff officers who came with him.
"Hey!" The staff officer immediately turned around, got in the car and left.
"What's wrong with you?" Shigeru Sawada shouted loudly in front of a soldier.
"Headache, a bit of a fever! It's so cold! The soldier said immediately.
"Baga, is it still cold in Manchuria here? Go back and hear no! Sawada scolded at the soldier.
"I have a headache, oops!" The soldier said, touching his head.
"Baga, the medicine for fever is available in the hospital of our division, go back immediately!" Shigeru Sawada scolded there.
"Ah, yes?" The soldier heard this and was stunned for a moment.
"Go back!" Sawada Shigeru scolded loudly.
"Hey!" The soldier knew he had to go back, and he couldn't pretend! When the soldiers next to him heard it, they all couldn't help laughing, and they scolded in their hearts, they had a headache, they had a headache, what kind of fever do you say, how can you pretend to be!
"I also have a headache, either a fever or a pain, and I want to come over for treatment!" Another soldier said, clutching his head.
"Go back, our own hospital will be able to check it out!" Sawada Shigeru continued to scold.
"I can't check it, I went, but they couldn't check it, and they said that they had to go to a big hospital for inspection." The soldier said immediately.
"Whoever told you, you go and find him, let him tell me, get me back now." Shigeru Sawada pointed in the direction of the door and scolded at the soldier.
"Hey!" The soldier heard this, replied helplessly, and walked outside. (To be continued.) )
