9.148 6th Division in Hell

Huangqiao Village, located 15 kilometers west of Huangmei County, was once a large village with more than 200 households, and since Huangmei County was recovered by the 99th Army, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro moved his division headquarters to Huangqiao Village.

The summer of 38 seems to be extraordinarily long, although it has entered the end of September, but the weather in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin is still extremely hot!

Thanks to the poor logistics of the Japanese Army, the officers and men of the 6th Division did not even change into summer clothes. Out of officer etiquette, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba still has to wear a thick general's uniform all day long, which is simply a punishment for him! An ordeal!

And what's even worse is that Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro's ordeal is not limited to this! Compared with the problem of uniforms, the current battle situation is more annoying to Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba! According to Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro's plan, the 6th Division should have broken through the Chinese army's defense line in Guangji more than ten days ago, successfully captured the Tianjiazhen fortress, an important barrier of the three towns of Wuhan, and made great achievements! But the actual situation is that the 6th Division not only failed to complete the breakthrough, but was also dumpled by the Chinese army in this area!

The head of the Inaba Shiro Division has been unable to sleep these days, and the inner torment and the scorching hot weather have made the metabolism in Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro's body very fast! Sweat kept pouring out of his head and then down his cheeks and onto the ground, ticking.

The competent chief of staff Shigetoku Shigeta had already clearly marked the relative posture of the Chinese and Japanese armies in the Yellow and Guangzhou areas with red and blue pencils. As the supreme commander of the 6th Division, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba must find a way out for the nearly 30,000 Japanese officers and soldiers under his command! But he had been staring at the map for days, but he still couldn't find a flaw in the Chinese army! On the contrary, the more you look at it, the more desperate you become!

More than 30,000 Japanese troops of the 6th Division on the map have shrunk into a group, and on their periphery is a huge encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops! And this encirclement is shrinking every day!

The two county towns of Huangmei and Guangji became two important nodes in the encirclement of the Chinese army. If the 6th Division wants to enter the garrison area of the Tianjiazhen fortress, then the commander of the Inaba Shiro Division must lead his troops to break the Guangji defense line guarded by the 100th Army, and if the 6th Division wants to join the 27th Division that rescued them, then the commander of the Inaba Shiro Division must take his troops to break the Huangmei defense line guarded by the 99th Army!

"Good steel is used on the blade", Huang Haoran obviously understands this sentence very thoroughly!

The feeling of being blocked by two Chinese ace troops is really difficult!

The commander of the Inaba Shiro Division knew very well that the transfer of hundreds of thousands of troops was not an easy matter, but under the nose of the Japanese army, which had the advantage of aerial reconnaissance, Huang Haoran actually completed the encirclement of the 6th Division! And it only took two hours to take Huangmei County, which was garrisoned by an infantry wing of the Japanese army! Sure enough, he is worthy of being a "famous general" of the Wuhan government! With one move, the 6th Division was pushed into the abyss!

Breakthrough! It must break through immediately, this is the only option for the 6th Division now!

Shiro Inaba felt that this red circle on the map was like a rope sleeve, stuck on his neck and constantly tightening! If this continues, he will soon suffocate to death! But if you want to break through the encirclement set up by Huang Haoran, you can't do it by relying on the 6th Division alone.

Under the double blow of the Chinese army and the plague, the combat effectiveness of the 6th Division has now declined to a very terrible point! So if you can't get strong support from reinforcements, then the breakthrough is destined to be only wishful thinking!

In the face of the terrible epidemic, even the Japanese Army's A Division, which has nearly 30,000 troops, like the 6th Division, is also extremely vulnerable! This time, the biggest "enemy" encountered by the 6th Division was not the powerful Huang Haoran group, but mosquitoes, flies, and germs that spread with the corpse gas everywhere!

Malaria, a disease caused by infection with the malaria parasite through mosquito bites, is easily contagious. The main manifestations are periodic and regular attacks, with chills, fever, and sweating all over the body, which can cause anemia and splenomegaly after multiple attacks for a long time. Suppressed by Huang Haoran's troops in a confined space, the officers and men of the 6th Division had to be accompanied by high temperatures and corpses, and although Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba had ordered all wings to dispose of the bodies of dead officers and soldiers to avoid an epidemic, malaria, a deadly disease, quickly spread among the officers and men of the 6th Division.

It is not uncommon to see Japanese soldiers walking and suddenly starting to shake and then falling headlong in the trenches. Some Japanese soldiers stopped breathing before they could finish the rice balls they had been allocated, and no Japanese soldier dared to eat the food left over from the hands of the dead for fear of infection.

In some people, the symptoms start in the head, their eyes are bloodshot, their faces are swollen, then their throat is irritated, and then they disappear from the crowd forever. There were even officers and men of the 6th Division who once pulled out their internal organs when they had diarrhea; Almost one-fifth of the Japanese soldiers suffered from inguinal adenitis, overflowing pus, and had a high fever, and these men usually died within two or three days. There are also infected people who can survive for a few days, but due to the extremely high morbidity and cross-infection, what often awaits them is only a second illness and the subsequent death.

Due to the highly targeted tactics implemented by the Chinese army in response to the Japanese airdrop operation, the 6th Division in the encirclement did not get enough medicine, which led to a sharp increase in the number of dead officers and soldiers, coupled with limited space, the wings soon could not find a place to bury the corpses, and finally had to pile the corpses in the trenches and let them emit the smell of corpses.

The 6th Division was transporting corpses into the trenches almost all the time, and they pressed them layer by layer like hay. The Japanese soldiers who carried the bodies usually divided into two groups, one of which stood on the edge of the trench and threw the corpses into the pit like stones, and then the other group of soldiers in the trench wearing gas masks grabbed the corpses and stacked them in rows in alternating directions. Wait until the corpses are piled up in the trenches, and then send sappers to blow up the trenches and bury them with explosives.

At night, it was pitch black everywhere on the Japanese position, and loneliness and horror filled the hearts of every Japanese officer and soldier, who were afraid that they would be the next to die of the disease, and every night soldiers suspected that they were infected shot themselves. Gradually, the officers and men of the 6th Division became accustomed to carrying corpses out of the trenches first thing in the morning.

Although the 6th Division had done its best to dispose of the corpses, cracked, decomposing corpses were still everywhere, the dead had swollen bellies, pus was constantly oozing from their open mouths, their eyes were red, their hands were raised upwards, and the corpses were stacked on top of each other, and the sight was like hell.

The people's hearts are scattered, and the war horses naturally have no one to care, and these beasts who were higher than the status of soldiers in the past can only look for grass by themselves, and the treatment is not as good as the mules and horses in the transport team before the 6th Division was surrounded.

The dead cannot rest in peace, and the living can die at any time! This sentence is the truest portrayal of the Japanese officers and soldiers of the 6th Division at present!
