Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 199 Target, the 103rd Brigade of the Japanese Army!

The enemy's No.13 Division, the 103rd Brigade, is also notorious.

The head of the brigade, Yamada Kaiji, was one of the executioners of the Nanjing Massacre.There are at least tens of thousands of prisoners of war and ordinary people who died in his hands.

And this is also an important reason why the Dragon Boat Festival had to be killed or disabled the 103rd Brigade.

This old devil doesn't have much ability, but he is narrow-minded and will take revenge.

During the Battle of Songhu, he once encountered the No.13 Division in Sanjia Village and was severely injured by the [-]th Division.

Although the No.13 division is only a branch of the Central Army, it has just been formed.But his teacher, Wan Yaohuang, is a fierce general.

So Yamada Kaier was considered unlucky to meet Wan Yaohuang in Sanjia Village.

Yamada Kaiji's voice was loud, but within a few days of the war, nearly 65 people were killed in the 700th Regiment under his command.

All 700 people died in battle, not counting the wounded.The entire 65th Wing was directly disabled by the No.13 Division.

After the 104th Wing was ordered to replace the 65th Wing, which had suffered heavy losses, the result was the same. In just one day, they suffered heavy losses.This caused Yamada Kaiji's mental breakdown for a while, and even burst into tears during the front-line inspection.

At that time, the captains and squadron leaders of the Japanese army, who saw the brigade commander crying, made up their minds to capture Sanjia Village within 16 days, even if the entire army was wiped out.

On October 10, under the cover of aviation and artillery, the Japanese army launched an attack on Sanjia Village again.

The 13nd Battalion of the 74th Regiment of the 2th Division, under the leadership of the battalion commander Xiong Fei, went into battle and fought fiercely with the Japanese army.

The brutal hand-to-hand combat continued from three o'clock in the afternoon until night.

Battalion Commander Xiong Fei died heroically, and all officers and soldiers of the battalion were killed or injured, but the Japanese army still could not cross the line.

The next day, after increasing the number of shells used per day, the Japanese artillery launched heavy shelling on the area around Sanjia Village. The Japanese artillery completely suppressed the firepower of the Chinese heavy machine guns.

The 104th Wing of the Japanese Army attacked again, but because of Wan Yaohuang's proper command, it still ended in failure.

On the 17th, Major General Yamada of the 103rd Brigade of the Japanese Army asked the 104th Regiment to conquer the Sanjiacun position even if the entire regiment was broken for the sake of the honor of the military flag.

But what about the results?

Facing the strong fortifications and fierce machine gun and mortar firepower of the Chinese army, more than 200 officers and soldiers were killed in a few hours, and Sanjia Village has not yet been occupied.

At this time, the 104th Wing suffered huge losses and was unable to launch a new round of offensive.

Lieutenant General Dizhou Libing, the head of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, had to put the 65th Wing of the Reserve into front-line operations again, and at the same time requested that the supplementary troops be given priority to the 104th Wing.

However, to Lieutenant General Dizhou Libing's surprise, the 65th Wing and the 104th Wing not only failed to conquer Sanjia Village, but the casualty rate of the frontline troops continued to rise.

The 65th Wing of the Japanese Army only fought for three or four days, and it was almost wiped out.

In addition to the previous losses, in just over ten days of fighting, the 65th Wing suffered 932 wounded.

The field hospital was crowded with wounded and groaning officers and soldiers of the 65th Regiment. Almost every one of them hated the Chinese army extremely in their hearts and wanted to revenge by killing more Chinese soldiers.

Wan Yaohuang's 13th Division, which resisted two Japanese regiments with one division, also suffered heavy losses in this week's bloody battle. By October 10, there were only a dozen people in each company.

In just ten days, the 13th Division, which was fully staffed, was exhausted, and the 103rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, known as Sendai's strong troops, was unable to continue its offensive and was waiting for the delivery of supplementary troops from the country.

So this also paved the way for Yamada Kaiji's crazy revenge after that.

In the later period of the Battle of Songhu,
The 103rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which suffered heavy losses, went into battle again after being supplemented. Many officers and soldiers who were injured during the period also returned to the team. Major General Yamada Yuji, who was beaten and cried by the Chinese army, wiped away his tears and made up his mind to avenge the Chinese army.

Subsequently, this Japanese army continued to participate in the defense line operations in the later period of the Songhu Battle, all the way from Zhenjiang to Nanjing.

The 13th Division ordered Major General Yamada Yuji to lead the 65th Infantry Regiment to form a Yamada Detachment to attack Nanjing from the direction of Wulong Mountain Fortress.

But when the Yamada Detachment arrived near Wulong Mountain on December 12, they found that the Chinese army had abandoned the Wulong Mountain position.

After occupying the Oolong Mountain Fortress, the Yamada detachment marched towards Mufu Mountain through Yanziji. Along the way, they found a large number of Chinese army corpses in the north of Mufu Mountain. During the pursuit, they found traces of the Chinese army, so many prisoners discarded weapons and equipment soldiers.

In the early morning of the 14th, the Yamada Detachment reported to Japan's Shanghai Dispatch Army that it had captured about 15000 Chinese defenders.

Perhaps these 15000 Chinese soldiers never imagined in their dreams that their surrender was just the meat they sent to Yamada Kaier's chopping board.

One can imagine the happiness of Yamada Kaiji at that time.When he was about to massacre Chinese soldiers for revenge, 15000 Chinese soldiers put down their weapons and sent them to their door.

So on the night of the 19th, all of these 15000 people were killed in Caoxie Gorge.

But the red-eyed Yamada Koji did not stop there, but continued to participate in the Nanjing tragedy when the city of Nanjing was broken.

Therefore, the little devil's bushido spirit and respect for his opponents do not exist at all.

They're just a bunch of beasts in human skin.

They are bloodthirsty, they are brutal.They are worse than the wild dogs on the roadside.

So when faced with such a group of devils, Duan Wu will never be soft-hearted.

But at this time, Duan Wu encountered a little trouble.

In the night, Uchimah is black, and there is nothing.When the 40th Division entered Changshan Town in the early morning of the next day, the news of Liu Training's death could not be concealed.

At dawn, Sun Bo'an from the 79th Brigade and Zhang Qiang from the 53rd Brigade couldn't find the teacher Liu Peixu.

As I said before, Sun Boan is Liu Peixu's brother-in-law.And what about Zhang Qiang?It is a brother of Liu Peixu.

This brother is a brother with a different surname.The relationship between the two is relatively good.Let's kowtow and pray, not to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and the same month.Just like the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, who knocked their heads on the ground, they are not brothers, but they are better than brothers.

And this Zhang Qiang is different from Sun Boan.

Sun Bo'an is just a gangster on the street. He is tall and big, but his IQ is average, even lower than ordinary people.

But Zhang Qiang is different.Just like the so-called confidant, Zhang Qiang, like Liu Peixu, is as cunning as a fox, judging the situation, and greedy for profit.

He is the same as Liu Peixu.I pretend to be myself.

Sun Bo'an told him: My brother-in-law can't be found, and the third brother has the final say on the army now.

Zhang Qiang didn't believe it.

He bought Liu Peixu's security platoon leader, the one who was beaten by Zhu Shengzhong.Only then did I learn that Liu Peixu had died a long time ago.And it was killed by the person who claimed to be the third brother!
