My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 466
Since the chief personally sits in the infirmary, the "illness" of these officers and soldiers healed surprisingly quickly, so there was a joke among the Japanese army that "the captain of the regiment changed his career to become a doctor".

As a result, the Fourth Division was forced to open for business, and it was also slow on the way forward. For the same distance, the Second Division arrived in four days, while the Fourth Division actually walked for eight days.

Before they arrived on the battlefield, the Soviet Union and Japan announced an armistice.After hearing the news, the [-]th Division rushed to the front with high spirits, and some were still regretting that they had no chance to fight the Soviet Union.

On the return journey, the morale of the battered Second Division was low and the battalion was full of wounded soldiers, while the soldiers of the Fourth Division were full of energy and equipped.It is said that the officer in charge of propaganda in the field changed the words "My Invincible Fourth Division of the Imperial Army Returns with Power" in the Japanese military propaganda newspaper to "I return with the power and power of the Fourth Division of the Invincible Imperial Army" in the Japanese military propaganda newspaper, indirectly satirizing the fourth division of the Imperial Army. division.

Afterwards, the Osaka Division from the regiment captain to the officers and soldiers "beat their chests and stamped their feet" deeply ashamed of their trust in the "leaders", and the matter was left alone.

It was Fengfumi Yamashita who became the head of the division at that time, and this period of black history has become a pillar of shame for him, and he has been laughed at by his colleagues for a long time.

Afterwards, the Osaka Division was transferred to the Central China region, and participated in several mopping operations and the second Changsha Battle. During this period, all kinds of stealing chickens and soy sauce, the fourth division of the Changsha Battle, which can be called a meat grinder, did not appear. How many casualties, this is outrageous.

Some people in the Japanese army kept ridiculing: "As long as the Osaka Division participates in the battle, we will lose the battle we could have won!"

In this way, the Fourth Division seems to have become the "Sangmen Star" of the Japanese army. As a result, no Japanese army wanted it. The headquarters had to change it into a directly-administered army, and transferred them to Southeast Asia during the third Changsha battle. .

What people did not expect was that the [-]th Division actually shined brilliantly in the fortified battle of Corregidor Fortress, defeating the U.S. troops who had been unable to attack for a long time and won the victory in one fell swoop, but their colleagues believed that they picked up the [-]th Division's loophole , scoffed at the victory.

Therefore, the Osaka division has always been looked down upon by people inside the Japanese army. Not only outsiders like the "black" division, but even their own people especially like "black" them.

But don't think that the Fourth Division really doesn't know how to fight because of these rumors. Judging from some records, the Fourth Division's performance is still very good, and it can definitely be regarded as a very troublesome opponent.

You know...a wolf that thinks calmly is often more terrifying than a lion that only growls and rages.

……

To the northwest of Taunggyi, in the Menggong area, a Japanese army squadron of about [-] men was lying in the open space by the forest for repairs.

Rifle shoes and hats were piled aside, many Japanese soldiers leaned together lazily, smoking and chatting, the gang leaders started to light a fire and cook, and by the small river not far away, there were a few little devils who were actually blowing up the fire with grenades. fish.

Squadron leader Yoshinaga Yukimura leaned comfortably under the tree, thinking about life while closing his eyes.

Compared with the bloody battlefield at Nanduhe [-] kilometers away, this peaceful and tranquil scene is really the difference between heaven and hell.

At this moment, a captain officer with a mustache came to him with a lunch box: "Squadron leader, we have been here for almost two days, should we move forward? Otherwise, it will be hard to explain." .”

Jiyong propped up his upper body, stretched his waist comfortably, raised his hand, took the lunch box and started to eat, while eating, he said indistinctly: "The captain and the others are still behind us. What's the rush?"

"But…"

"Don't worry, the Fifth Division is not that easy to defeat."

Jiyong unscrewed the kettle and drank his saliva, and said nonchalantly: "The situation of the battle is unknown now, and the reaction of the Chinese people is a bit worrying. Anyway, the situation has been reported, and even the captain of the regiment has acquiesced, so don't worry about it."

After thinking about it, the captain thought it made sense. Even though those Chinese people went deep alone, they still felt that something was wrong. It's a pity that the guys from the fifth division of the friendly army didn't listen to persuasion, so they insisted on running to be tough. Support, it's really going to go wrong.

Now apart from the Fifth Division, which has been entangled with the Huaxia people, the closest one belongs to the 8th Regiment of their Fourth Division.

Although the orders from above have been constantly urging, but with the acquiescence of the wing headquarters and some middle-level officers, the various units of the 8th wing have no plans to go to the reinforcements. Instead, they are cruising and hiding near the main battlefield. If the battlefield changes, they will It's also good to deal with it in the first place.

This is the core idea of ​​the Fourth Division, not seeking merit but seeking no faults, and never fighting uncertain battles.

Since the Meiji Restoration, although Japan has gradually become a member of the great powers, it started late after all. Among the great powers, its industrial foundation is relatively weak, and the country is relatively poor.Therefore, the Japanese government deliberately replaced expensive shells with the lives of soldiers, and vigorously advocated the so-called Bushido spirit and communist ideology, so that soldiers could sacrifice their lives for the country.

Many Japanese soldiers regard the emperor's dedication as the highest honor. When fighting, they tend to get hotheaded and play Long Live Charge at every turn.

In contrast, the Osaka people of the [-]th Division are more sober, realizing that it is impossible to win the war by fanaticism alone, they will use their brains when fighting, and they should consider how to reduce their own casualties.

Like the fortified battle of Corregidor mentioned above, the reason why the Sixth Division was defeated was that it relied too much on the soldiers’ courage to die. Instead, the Fourth Division first reconnaissance the battlefield to determine the enemy’s firepower, which is honest and practical The cannon opened the way, with the opposite result.

In addition, the Fourth Division does not want unnecessary battles.During the Battle of Nuomenkan, the Fourth Division was ordered to go for reinforcements.However, the Fourth Division believed that this battle was meaningless from top to bottom, and it was just to save the so-called face of the Kwantung Army's upper echelons.

However, the fourth division's way of using their brains was quite different in the fanatical Japanese army at that time.Many Japanese soldiers felt that a unit that did not dare to die was considered a Japanese soldier, so various jokes about the Black Fourth Division and exaggerated scandals appeared.

And judging from the current situation of more than 6000 Chinese troops rushing into and being besieged, the opponent did not panic after being besieged, and built fortifications in an orderly manner on the spot. A little analysis shows that the opponent was obviously prepared.

Therefore, many officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division feel that most of them are deceitful. If they blindly invest their troops, they may fall into the trap of the opponent. Intend……
