Chapter 117: The Fourth Division Refuses to Go Ashore
6.117 The 4th Division refused to go ashore
After returning to the Fifth Theater Headquarters, Chief Li did not tell others the news that Han Fuyu might give up Jinan, he was bent on the upcoming war, and from now on he must be prepared for the loss of Jinan, and pulled these horses and horses in his hands back and forth, Chief Li found that once Han Fuyu picked his pick, he really couldn't play the Fifth War Zone!
Lack of troops! This is the biggest problem facing Chief Lee!
"Telegram! Wuhan Jiang consultant is here! β
Jiang Baili's telegram? Chief Li felt a little strange, as soon as he came back, he heard the adjutant who stayed behind tell him that Jiang Baili had called him to find him, why was he in such a hurry? With doubts, Chief Li opened a telegram sent by a colonel's staff officer!
"Han Xiangfang wants to run?"
Five words! Words and words! Chief Li's first reaction was to look around among his several lieutenants, as soon as he came back, Jiang Baili knew what he had done, and also knew the result of his trip, which showed that it was not someone from Wuhan around him, but someone from Wuhan by Han Fuyu's side!
The secret organizations of the highest authorities are really pervasive!
"Call back! More on that later! β
Seeing that Chief Li only said four words, the colonel officer in charge of recording thought that there was still a following, so he held a pen and waited beside him, Chief Li had already returned to his map at this time, since Jiang Baili knew that Han Fuyu was going to give up Jinan, then now the Fifth War Zone had to prepare a new plan!
"That's all! Don't go yet! β
When Chief Li thought for a while and looked up to see this dumbfounded colonel staff officer, his anger finally erupted!
The colonel's staff officer quickly disappeared from Chief Li's sight, and the officers with brains saw that Chief Li had made such a big fire after returning from Jinan, and he had been standing on the map of the Shandong battlefield and thinking hard, they had already guessed that Han Fuyu in Jinan was afraid that there was a new situation!
****************************************
From the early morning of the 25th to the night of the 26th, Shen Laoer's troops have completely lost their formation, the 99th Division and the Japanese army in the streets and alleys are fiercely fighting, adhering to the principle of firing a shot to change a place, now Shen Laoer's several regiment commanders are still in their original positions, all the liaison and command posts are carried out on the move, Shen Yuanlong has heard the sound of shooting and artillery on the radio many times today, which shows how fierce the battle between the 99th Division and the Japanese army is!
Jing Shuxuanshi finally chose to participate in the war under the pressure of the division and the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters, and at the beginning he still held Jing Shuxuan, who had dealt with things, found that his troops disappeared without a trace as soon as they entered the Baixia District, like water spilled out, in order to find these troops without a trace, the 18 Brigade had to continue to send troops, from a squadron to find a squadron to a brigade to find a squadron, when Jing Shuxuan realized that something was wrong, He had already filled the pockets of the 99th Division with two battalions and two squadrons. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the face of nearly 3,000 subordinates who fell into a bitter battle, Jing Shuxuan could no longer continue to watch the battle, he ordered the 18th Brigade to press on the whole line, but Jing Shuxuan's style of play was obviously to absorb the experience of the Japanese army's defeat in the past two days, the 18th Brigade pushed their artillery directly to the front line, and then cooperated with the chariot to clean house by house, once it encountered a relatively strong house that could be used by the Nanjing garrison, Jing Shuxuan ordered the soldiers to set fire to it, with this squeezing style of play, in less than three hours, The space for the 99th Division to move around was reduced by 10 percent.
Shen Lao Er realized the power of Jing Shuxuan, so the 99th Division adopted the second set of combat plans.
The scattered troops were concentrated, and the 99th Division, which clenched its five fingers into a fist, was something that no Japanese army dared to ignore, Shen Lao Er commanded this fist to suddenly close in the Baixia District, and successively attacked several Japanese troops above the size of the squadron, and by the way, it also destroyed the two artillery positions of the 18th Brigade and Regiment, and every time the 99th Division hit the superior forces and left with one blow, such a blitzkrieg made Jing Shuxuan feel very sad.
In their own territory, the 99th Division can be divided or united, they wander in the middle of this residential area, and the devils they fancy are all gone and never returned!
The morale of the Japanese army, which had finally entered Nanjing and began to get excited, was depressed again.
Matsui Shigen asked about the battle situation in Baixia District many times, and the 9th Division and the Central China Front came to the same conclusion, that is, in the absence of reinforcements, but it was difficult to break through the defensive area of the Chinese army with thousands of Japanese troops, and the efforts of the 18th Brigade were not completely fruitless, at least now the Japanese army knew that it was their enemy --- 99th Division that was blocking the way in front of them!
In order to complete the strategy of annihilating the Nanjing garrison, the strength of the Central China Front has been used to the extreme, and the reinforcements sent from Japan arrived at Wusong Port 24 hours ago, and Matsui Ishine immediately ordered the Japanese troops of this division to land immediately and go to the Nanjing battlefield, but now 24 hours have passed, and I heard the officers of the Central China Front on the wharf of Wusong Port say that this Japanese division has not yet disembarked.
The reason provided by the other party was that after a long journey, a large number of soldiers suffered from seasickness, and the military doctor did not advise them to make big moves until the soldiers' physical strength had not recovered.
Such a reason is truly outrageous!
Matsui Ishone is furious! If the base camp is really unwilling to increase the troops of the Central China Front, it will be forgotten, and now the "Osaka Division" has been sent to Shanghai and Nanjing as a number, what a difficult battlefield! These traders are already scared and sick before they go to the battlefield, if they encounter the wolf-like 99th Division, they will not have to collapse directly!
The Osaka Division refers to the 4th Division, which was a standing division of the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II and was one of the oldest divisions in the Japanese army. The formation was based in Osaka, Japan, and the soldiers were mainly composed of Osaka vegetable sellers and traveling merchants.
Osaka's 4th Division, codenamed "Yodo" - this code name can be described as ingenious, other Japanese Army division code names have many symbols of martial spirit, such as the 2nd Division is "Yong", the 9th Division is "Wu", etc., the 4th Division The origin of the word "Yodo" is because there is a Yodo River that crosses Osaka's most prosperous Umeda business district......
The 4th Division has about 22,000 people, 4 wings under its jurisdiction, and standard first-class equipment, which can be called the "elite" of the Japanese army. However, not long after it was founded, the reputation of "wreck" spread throughout the Japanese army. In particular, the core unit of the 4th Division, the 8th Wing, was nicknamed "the 8th Wing that was not afraid of defeat" because of its repeated defeats in the Russo-Japanese War
After that, until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the 4th Division never went to the front line. However, this does not mean that it does not have the opportunity to show the spirit of "bravery". In 1933, Private Matsui of the 4th Division ran a red light in the center of Osaka, and as a result, he clashed with the police.
The base camp really took great pains to rejuvenate the fighting spirit of this unit, and finally came to the conclusion that the commander plays a decisive role in the strength of a unit's combat effectiveness. So Matsui became the commander of the 4th Division and the 25th Division.
After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese full-scale war, the base camp transferred the 4th Division from Japan to the northeast garrison, which was subordinate to the Kwantung Army combat sequence, as a result, the 4th Division made a big deal with the local Chinese after arriving in the northeast, and also made a scandal such as selling heavy weapons to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the commander of the Kwantung Army protested directly to the base camp, saying that if the 4th Division was not transferred from the northeast, he would resign, and as a result, the 114th Division was severely damaged by Huang Haoran at this time, and the guarantees of the land minister and the prime minister made Emperor Hirohito agree to increase the troops of Matsui Ishine, I was worried that there was no place to arrange the base camp of the 4th Division, so I immediately let the 4th Division board the ship from the northeast and ship it directly to Shanghai.
The 4th Division, which didn't want to devote itself to the Nanjing battlefield at all, actually spent 10 days at sea grinding to reach Wusong!
Now they're still stuck on the boat!
Matsui Ishine's current strength in his hands was really tense to the extreme, and he gritted his teeth and decided to give the 4th Division a chance to restore its reputation!
He decided to personally come up to the dock and ask the 4th Division to disembark!
The commander of the 4th Division, Matsui, learned that the commander of the Central China Front, Matsui Shigen, had arrived at the Wusong Wharf, and he quickly got up from his cabin to find a set of straight generals' uniforms on the ship, and when the commander of the Matsui Division rushed out of the cabin, his guards were dragging a plate of fruit through the corridor, and when he saw the busy appearance of the commander of the Matsui Division, the guards whistled, and the posture was like a second-rate person.
"Division Commander! Did the comfort women arrive? Why haven't you heard of it? β
The commander of the Matsui Division was also very ambitious when he came to the 4th Division, insisting that there was no unit that could not be trained, and the generals in the base camp also had high expectations for him. But not long after coming to the 4th Division, the commander of the Matsui Division found that this unit had rotted to the bones, and all the officers and soldiers up and down were messing around, wanting to train such a batch of garbage into soldiers needed by His Majesty the Emperor? Oh, my God! It's easier to train a bunch of rabbits!
After fighting with the 4th Division's garbage for a few months, the commander of the Matsui Division was dragged into the water by several adjutants, and it was very quick for a soldier to become corrupted and degenerate into a waste, and by the time the 4th Division was sent to the northeast, the commander of the Matsui Division had completely turned into an Osaka merchant.
He wore a Chinese robe and became the treasurer of a trading house in Harbin, and if it were not for the fact that his military and wealth fans sold two Type 92 infantry guns to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the commander of the Matsui Division would still be smoking in the arms of his Russian mistress!
I don't know how Fang Si Ava is now, there are many Japanese officers who covet this golden cat, maybe, now the commander of the Matsui Division has brought a green hat!
"Bastard! His Excellency the Commander of the Central China Front has arrived at the dock! You prepare a boat for me right away! I'm going to see him! β
"Isn't that the commander of the Front? What's the big deal! Our 4th Division once received the words of Emperor Meiji! This sentence is worthy of the commander of the ten front armies! β
The commander of the Matsui division directly took off his belt and pumped it on the guards, if he didn't use some force on these lazy guys, maybe until dawn, the commander of the Matsui division would not be able to see Matsui Shigen.
Through the glass window on the hatch, the commander of the Matsui Division saw the words that the guards had just said, and this precious yellow silk was hanging in his cabin, and the division commanders of the previous 4th Division would be responsible for keeping this sentence.
γεζ¦dramaιγεrewardγ
During the Southwest War, the Osaka Wing, which had few samurai families and peasants and a large proportion of merchants, suffered heavy losses in battles with the Satsuma samurai, and was awarded the Meiji Emperor's "Brave Drama Reward", which was an unprecedented honor in the history of the Japanese Army.
How did this force become what it is now?
The head of the Matsui division couldn't come up with an answer to the headache!
Or think about what the boss Matsui Ishone likes? Wait a minute... Boss? You must not say such words in front of Matsui Ishine for a while, otherwise the 4th Division will be guilty......
Matsui Shigen stood on the Wusong pier and looked at the fleet of ships moored on the sea, his heart was already shocked to the point of no addition, haven't the people of Shanghai always been afraid of the Japanese army? How could there be so many small boats near the transports of the 4th Division? Matsui Ishine saw several Japanese officers lying on the side of a transport ship not far from him and the Chinese fishing boat on the sea laughing, and then they lowered a cable, at first Matsui Ishine thought that these people were going to buy something to eat from the Chinese, but soon Matsui Ishine found that he really underestimated the 4th Division, and the officers on the transport ship let his soldiers hang several large boxes down after pulling up the cable, The Chinese fishing boat inspected the boxes, said hello to the officers on board, and quickly left, and then another Chinese fishing boat came up!
This time, Matsui Ishone saw clearly, and when the cable thrown on the transport ship was pulled back, there were more things on it, and these things shimmered seductively under the light of the ship! That's the color of silver dollars and gold bars! The officers and men of the 4th Division are actually doing business! What's in the big box that just hung down? A specialty of the Northeast? Moonshine? Or is it... Weapons and ammunition?
Matsui Ishine now has the urge to cut people!
No wonder the 4th Division can't come down from the ship, it turns out that they still have goods that haven't been sold!
Is this really the First Kind Division of the Great Japanese Empire?
Matsui Ishine regretted that he had appeared at Wusong Pier......
The commander of the Matsui division jumped from his boat to the dock, he quickly ran to Matsui Ishine and stood up and saluted, Matsui Ishine looked up and down at the supreme commander of this rotten army, the military appearance of the commander of the Matsui division was not bad, but the gold chain hanging on the pocket watch was half a finger thick and so inconsistent with the whole military uniform.
"Is there no other chain? Commander of the Matsui Division? β
Matsui Ishone's voice was very gloomy, and goosebumps immediately appeared on the back of the commander of the Matsui Division.
"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, I came in a hurry, I grabbed one casually, I'm very sorry!"
Matsui Ishone's adjutant was straight when he heard it! Caught a random one? How many gold chains should this Matsui division commander have? It is said that Osaka businessmen will make money, and it seems that this statement is really well-founded!
The answer of the commander of the Matsui division made Matsui Shigen's brows wrung together, he didn't think that the commander of the Matsui division said this on purpose, in the face of a commander of the front army like him, as long as the commander of the Matsui division was not stupid, he would not say such excessive words, the answer just now was obviously the subconscious answer of the commander of the Matsui division, which showed that the commander of the Matsui division in front of him had completely regarded himself as a common man, and he had no sense of being a soldier at all!
Even the division commander is like this, it is not difficult to think about how much military discipline has been eroded within the 4th division!
"Is that your soldier? What are they doing? Matsui Ishone's finger pointed directly at the transport ship that was still trading, in fact, similar transactions were being carried out on the side of other transport ships, but those Japanese officers were far less calm than the Japanese officers on this transport ship.
The commander of the Matsui division looked at Matsui Shigen's fingers, he couldn't help but gasp, the one standing on the side of the ship and trading with the Chinese was none other than his adjutant and "brother-in-law" Kameda Nakasa, Kameda's sister was a beautiful widow, who moved to the northeast with her husband early, and the commander of the Matsui division knew that he could not take a Russian woman back to China, so he took up the idea of Kameda Nakasa's sister, and after drilling into Kameda Nakasa's sister's bed several times, Kameda Nakasa became the adjutant of the head of the Matsui division, This "brother-in-law" relied on his "brother-in-law" to be the commander of the division, and he was also very black in doing business, and the person who resold the Type 92 infantry guns in the northeast was Kameda Nakasa, and the Japanese troops of the 4th Division had always only peddled some outdated weapons and rifle bullets to the Anti-Japanese Union, and Kameda Nakasa's deal could be described as very amazing! I heard about him, but this one made hundreds of gold bars!
Seeing that his biggest weakness fell into the eyes of the commander of the front army, Matsui Ishine, the commander of the Matsui Division was anxious, and he kept gesturing to Kameda Nakasa from behind Matsui Ishine, and Kameda Nakasa on the transport ship noticed the "brother-in-law" dancing on the dock under the reminder of his guards, so Kameda Nakasa began to respond eagerly!
The commander of the Matsui division is sweating profusely now!
"You haven't answered me yet! Commander of the Matsui Division! β
"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander! You also know that our 4th Division has been stationed in the northeast for a period of time, so the officers and men have some personal property! Now that we are about to go to the battlefield, I believe that these officers and soldiers want to sell their belongings and send them to their relatives back home! In this way, they can serve the emperor without any concern! β
The head of the Matsui division said so much in one breath without any pause in the middle, Matsui Ishine was so angry that he laughed instead, he clapped his hands and said:
"Well said! Well said! Osaka Division! I've seen ...... today."
The commander of the Matsui division didn't know whether Matsui Ishone's words were a blessing or a curse for him, his eyes were staring at Matsui Ishone's expression, and the head of the Matsui division was extremely scared in his heart......
