6.142 The Amazing Fourth Division

While Huang Haoran and his officers were considering breaking through to Gaochun, the 4th Division in Gaochun County was also discussing how to deal with the biggest crisis since they arrived in the East China Battlefield. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huang Haoran's arrival made these Osaka vendors feel very nervous!

The Japanese Heavy Soldiers Brigade that encountered Huang Haoran in Lishui County belonged to the 4th Wing of the 4th Division, and these life-loving deserters sent a warning telegram to their Wing Commander Kawakami Fujio Osa, after they were far away from the 99th Division, which was like a demon in their eyes.

The deserters first exaggerated their performance in front of the 99th Division in the telegram, and did not mention anything about the initiative to discard the mountains of military supplies in Lishui County.

"Don't pay for useless sacrifices," "Don't participate in unreasonable battles," and "Don't chase after enemy troops who are desperate," these are the three don't principles pursued by the Fourth Division, and Kawakami Fujifu Daisa is a faithful believer in the three don't principles, and in order to prepare the two infantry wings of the 4th Division stationed in Gaochun, Kawakami Fujio Dazuo told the division commander Major General Matsui Ming the news of Huang Haoran's imminent attack.

The commander of Matsui's division knows very well what the 4th division is! Let these Osaka soldiers under his command face the ace 99th Division of the Chinese army, Matsui never imagined such a duel even in his dreams!

The combat honors that the 4th Division can get have to be traced back to the Southwest War era, and by the time of the Russo-Japanese War, this unit became the 4th Division that was "not afraid of defeat".

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! What should we do now? ”

Major General Gu Kenichi, the commander of the 4th Brigade, now finally remembers that Matsui is the commander of his division, when Matsui first took office in the 4th Division, the opposition counted the commander of the Koken 1st Brigade the most fierce, until later Matsui gave up the idea of rectifying the 4th Division, and the commander of the Koken 1st Brigade still called Matsui-kun.

Therefore, the commander of the Gu Xian 1st Brigade said "Your Excellency the Division Commander" made Matsui Ming feel very surprised, he glanced at Gu Xianyi in front of him, this fat brigade commander like a fat pig was looking at Matsui Ming with a pitiful look, engaging in crowding out and smuggling Gu Xian 1st Brigade Commander and the officers of the 4th Division are all top experts, but when it comes to the ability to fight, except for Matsui Ming in the 4th Division, the other officers have almost forgotten their military identities.

It's all to blame on those bastard high-level leaders of the Kwantung Army! actually sent the 4th Division to such a cruel battlefield in East China, if it was still in the Northeast, how could it meet an opponent like Huang Haoran?

"Yes, Your Excellency the Division Commander, you can have an idea!"

Standing next to the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Koken, the commander of the 8th Wing Haruji Morita and the commander of the 37th Wing Jiro Koura, they were not officers who could fight, and they could only repeat almost the same question sentence after the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Koken.

Matsui suddenly felt that he was enjoying the current atmosphere, and from becoming the division commander of the 4th Division on March 1, 37 to now, Matsui felt that he was a division commander for the first time.

"Let the officers and soldiers prepare for battle! The 8th Wing and the 37th Wing are all in the trenches, and it won't be long before reinforcements from Nanjing arrive, and I, like Huang Haoran, should be more anxious than us! Three hours... Not up to two hours! You will all be heroes of the Empire! ”

Matsui's words are actually very reasonable, if the 4th Division can really hold Huang Haoran's Nanjing garrison in Gaochun for two to three hours, then the 4th Division will throw off the hat of shame in one fell swoop, but can Matsui's idea be realized? Don't forget, they are the 4th Division!

According to Matsui Shigen's order, the main force of the 4th Division should have cooperated with the 101st Division to encircle the Nanjing garrison led by Fan Jie on the Wuhu battlefield, but in fact, the main force of the 4th Division is still between Gaochun and Wuxi.

The reason why the 4th Division advanced so slowly was because the officers and men of the 4th Division were dissatisfied with the Tokyo Military Headquarters for letting them leave the Northeast as a den, and these veterans had already developed a set of skills to resist combat. In desperation, the commander of Matsui's division could only sit in the infirmary in person to participate in the diagnosis, and only then did he reluctantly organize the troops to march to Wuhu, and the joke that "the division commander changed his career to become a doctor" has already spread throughout the Central China Front.

But that's it, the Osaka soldiers of the 4th Division are still reluctant to take a step forward after arriving in Wuxi, in their eyes, Wuhu is now a very dangerous place, and the order given by the Central China Front Headquarters to the 4th Division is to let them go to the Wuhu area to cooperate with the 101st Division to fight, will Wuxi soon belong to the Wuhu area? So the Osaka soldiers secretly changed their concept and stationed here in Wuxi to start a "bloody battle" with the non-existent Nanjing garrison Tuwei troops!

After several days of fighting, only one soldier was slightly wounded, and I am afraid that only these Osaka traders were embarrassed to write it, and the only wounded person was actually accidentally sprained his foot while capturing the chickens and ducks in the homes of Chinese people.

Let such a force challenge Huang Haoran's Nanjing garrison? Matsui must be crazy!

Hearing that Matsui was planning to launch a "decisive battle" with Gao Chun and Huang Haoran's troops, several officers of the 4th Division standing opposite had green faces!

Isn't that asking them to do things that are contrary to their principles? Huang Haoran is now followed by the pursuers of several divisions, and the 4th Division's participation in the battle is tantamount to Huang Haoran's death! If Huang Haoran is forced to be in a hurry, what should he do if he is desperate in Gaochun? The 4th Division hadn't fought such a vicious battle for decades!

There are still a lot of business mantissa in Shanghai that have not been collected? The commander of the Koken 1st Brigade and Morita Haruji and Koura Jiro began to count their belongings with their fingers, and when they found that their wealth was enough to live an enviable life in Japan, the idea of not wanting to fight with Gao Chun and Huang Haoran immediately took over.

"Nope! We can't be so reckless! Huang Haoran's army has three armies! And we only have two wings in Gaochun! And... And... The trenches were not finished either......"

Encouraged by the eyes of the commander of the Kokenichi Brigade and Haruji Morita, Koura Jiro Osa was the first to jump out and express his opposition! In a hurry, Jiro Kouraa even said something that the head of Matsui's life division didn't know.

This time it was Matsui's turn to be dumbfounded, although the Osaka soldiers of the 4th Division had some pockets, but the basic military quality was still excellent, especially in the training subject of digging trenches that could save their lives, the Osaka soldiers who cherished their lives still maintained very good results, and the commander of Matsui's division never thought that this only good tradition would actually fail in Gaochun!

"How so? Didn't the engineering wing be busy outside the city for days? At the very least, a line of defense should have been completed, right? ”

Matsui's questioning made Kourajiro Osa spit, and after the commander of the Guxian First Brigade peeked at the golden watch on his wrist, he finally couldn't help but speak, if this kind of conversation without any nutrition continued, maybe Huang Haoran's cannonballs would fall into Gaochun County.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you are really a noble person! We did a civil engineering equipment business with the Chinese in Shanghai, and the golden tickets we earned were huge! The construction of the engineer wing without tools will naturally not be very fast, and the payment allocated to you has already been handed over to you, perhaps because there are too many recent incomes, and you forgot ......"

The words of the commander of the 1st Brigade of Gu Xian reminded Matsui, and he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, but at that time he thought that the commander of the 1st Brigade of Gu Xian was just selling some excess engineering equipment to the Chinese, and he did not expect that the greedy commander of the 1st Brigade of Gu Xian would actually give the equipment of the entire engineering wing to a pot!

No wonder the gold chain around the neck of the commander of the 1st Brigade of Gu Xian is almost thick enough to catch up with the anchor chain of the navy! In the past few days in Shanghai, this guy has eaten too much!

No more fortifications! The 4th Division had to engage Huang Haoran's Nanjing garrison in the wilderness, and the commander of Matsui's division did not think that his Osaka soldiers would be able to survive these two hours without fortifications, and if he gave such an order now, I am afraid that there would be deserters immediately, and the situation would be even more difficult to control!

"Gu Xianjun! You're too bold! This... It's really ......."

Matsui Ming was overwhelmed for a while, he didn't know what to say, he could only point his finger at the commander of the Guxian First Brigade in front of him, seeing Matsui's reaction, the commander of the Guxian First Brigade snorted with disdain!

"It's like this now, it's too late to say anything! It would be unwise to fight Huang Haoran, and we should now find a way to shift the blame that may fall on us! That's the only way out! ”

"yes, yes! The commander of the 1st Brigade of Gu Xian said ......"

There was a chorus of echo in the room, and Matsui suddenly remembered what Matsui Shigen said to him on the Wusong dock, this time he Matsui really tried his best and wanted to fight a turnaround battle in Gaochun, but the stubborn forces in the 4th Division did not allow him to do so! That's it! It seems that there is only one way to resign and apologize!

"I don't think so! Let's just get out of the way and let Huang Haoran's troops pass, anyway, we have not received an order to intercept the Chinese army, strictly abide by the operational discipline, and the Central China Front Command will not have anything to do! ”

After a few minutes of chaotic discussion, Morita Haruji Osa finally came up with a bad idea, but his idea was soon vetoed by Kawakami Fujio Osa, the commander of the 4th Wing of the Heavy Soldiers.

"This excuse doesn't work! The telegram sent by the Lishui Heavy Infantry Brigade is obvious evidence that we have learned of the military situation, and if we don't fire a single shot, Commander Matsui will not let us go! ”

Hearing Matsui Ishone's name, the officers of the 4th Division all shrank their necks in unison, although Matsui Ishone and Matsui were both surnamed Matsui, but the methods of the two of them were completely different, the commander of the Koken 1st Brigade had the courage to ignore Matsui Ishone on the territory of the Osaka people, but it was impossible to have the courage to test the strength of Matsui Ishone, the commander of the Central China Front.

If you offend Matsui Ishone, you'll die!

Just when everyone was at a loss, Matsui's voice sounded again......

"Now, there's only one way! Ladies and gentlemen! We must immediately drive to the Wuhu battlefield! Think about it. If there were only a few troops in Gaochun, wouldn't it be natural for Huang Haoran to break through successfully? ”

Matsui's words made the eyes of the officers of the 4th Division light up! Soon, however, their eyes darkened again.

Leaving Gaochun and plunging into the war-torn Wuhu battlefield, isn't this just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den? Why can't the 4th Division avoid the fate of bloodshed?

Fortunately, in the end, one person understood the meaning of Matsui's words, and the old fox, the commander of the Guxian First Brigade, slapped his thigh and stood up! He cocked his thumb and shouted:

"High! It's really high! ”

Matsui's trick is really a great plan! Assisting the 101st Division in the battle was originally the task assigned to the 4th Division by the Central China Front, and the whole army going to Wuhu could just make way for Huang Haoran to open a passage, as for whether to participate in the battle after arriving in Wuhu, this is something that can be operated, as long as the 4th Division delays some more time on the road, by the time they feel it, the Nanjing Garrison, which has already broken through the 101st Division, may have already run away! When the time comes, the 4th Division will have another "active pursuit", and maybe it will be able to get a positive praise for the operation!

This kind of deal is worth it!

After some explanation by the commander of the 1st Brigade of Gu Xian, the officers of the 4th Division finally breathed a sigh of relief, time was pressing, and several wing commanders immediately returned to their respective units to convey Matsui's order, when the wounded soldiers in the hospital learned that staying in Gaochun was likely to be attacked by the ace 99th Division of the Chinese army, these sick men of the 4th Division recovered quickly as if they had taken a "panacea", and the Japanese officers and soldiers who were arranged to stay in Gaochun also asked to go to the front line generously, at the entrance of the wing department of several wing commanders, It was crowded with Japanese soldiers who asked for battle, and some people wrote blood letters asking for this battle to be fought!

Seeing these chaotic scenes, Matsui smiled helplessly! He took advantage of the time before the start of the promotion to write his resignation in his division headquarters.

When the commander of the Koken 1st Brigade learned the news, he happily said to Koura Jiro and Morita Haruji:

"Now it's okay, Matsui ordered himself to jump out and be this scapegoat! The crisis of the 4th Division has passed! Ladies and gentlemen! Let's hit the road! ”

The unit left behind by the 4th Division in Takachun was the 4th Engineer Wing of Hidekawa Hayase Osa, and this decision was forced by the commander of the Koken 1st Brigade to the commander of Matsui's division, and the commander of the Koken 1st Brigade resold all the equipment of the Engineer Wing, and now he needs to find an excuse for the mysterious disappearance of this equipment!

Is there a better reason than for this batch of equipment to be taken away by Huang Haoran's Nanjing garrison?

What do you really want to come to? The commander of the 1st Brigade of Gu Xian felt that his luck in the New Year was really good!

As a result, all the sufferings of the 4th Division were piled on the head of the 4th Engineer Wing of Hidekawa Hasase Osa......

When Huang Haoran ordered the shelling of the Japanese positions, Hidekawa Hayase was eager to tell the Chinese with a loudspeaker that he was just staying to mess around, and Hidekawa Hayase made the main forces of his 4th Engineer Wing shrink back to Gaochun County, and on the attack route of the 99th Division, there was only one squadron of the 4th Engineer Wing!

The artillery fire was relentless, and the 4th Engineer Wing, which had no tools, only built a "toy fortification" less than a meter deep to deal with errands, and if these Osaka soldiers had known that they would use this trench so soon, they would have been able to dig a complete fortification that conformed to the Japanese infantry discipline with a soup spoon for eating.

Watching the shells of the Nanjing garrison fall on the trench in the distance one after another, Hayase Hidekawa Osa was very worried about the soldiers squatting in the trenches, in order to let Huang Haoran's troops end the shelling as soon as possible and pass through Gaochun quickly and safely, Hayase Hidekawa Osa ordered his troops to start retreating on their own initiative!

So then Shen Lao Er and Feng Shengfa saw a picture that made them very unacceptable, when the artillery fire of the 99th Division had just stopped and the infantry was about to charge, hundreds of devils jumped out of the trench and ran away in the direction of Gaochun County, because the Japanese sappers were not equipped with any heavy weapons, Shen Lao Er regarded these escaped ghost soldiers as a new trick for the Japanese army to confuse him.

The officers and men of the 99th Division swooped down on the Japanese positions with bayonets in their resolute steps, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters! Not a single bullet was fired from the Japanese positions!

Feng Shengfa and Shen Lao Er glanced at each other, the two of them had the same idea, and the little devils on the other side could really bear it! It seems that this time it is a hard stubble! Most of them are an elite Japanese army similar to the 6th Division!

Eighty meters... Fifty meters... Thirty meters!

The Japanese haven't fired yet!

Is there some trap in that position?

"Blow the trumpet! Order the troops to bring gas masks! Beware of Japanese playing yin! ”

Cai Zude, the commander of the 4th Battalion of the 537th Regiment, who served as the attack arrow, had an extra heart, and now the 4th Battalion was about to enter the distance to see the Japanese trenches at a glance, and the Japanese did not fire yet! The performance of these little devils on the other side is really weird!

In the last thirty meters, the 4th battalion rushed over in one go, Cai Zude didn't want to have a long night and dreams, he wanted to see what tricks Little Japan was playing!

Cai Zude and his men rushed into the empty trenches! The officers and men of the 4th Battalion searched carefully along the trenches, but they didn't even find a single hair of the little devil! After confirming that this was not a trap for Little Japan, Cai Zude stood in the "long ditch" less than one meter deep and crossed his waist and scolded:

"Damn! This group of grandsons actually ran away like this!? ”

A night breeze blew, and Shen Lao Er and Feng Shengfa were covered in white sweat......
