Chapter 250 The Strongest Opponent in the Decisive Battle in Wuhan

The troops that Hata Junliu could use on the front line reached the [-]th Division through his repeated efforts and fights, while the reserve team is an independent mixed brigade formed by Japanese and Korean soldiers. The independent mixed brigade is not inherent in the Japanese army. It is a brigade formed temporarily to adapt to the Chinese battlefield, because in terms of tactical investment needs, the Japanese army increasingly needs small but complete combat units.

Otherwise, it is easy to cause a waste of troops and supplies. Unlike the standard infantry brigade, the independent mixed brigade has no fixed standards, and there is no fixed infantry regiment under it, with a strength ranging from more than 50754 to [-] There are more than one person, and they are often composed of independent tank squadrons, field artillery brigades, and infantry brigades. The designations are basically not temporarily reported to the front army or the general staff headquarters. Hata Junliu, who has always looked down on the lowly Koreans, has a very proud so-called national superiority. Therefore, he has been openly expressing doubts about the combat effectiveness of the so-called independent mixed brigade formed by the Kwantung Army for no more than half a year. During this period, he also offended some people in the military department and the Kwantung Army.Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers [-]

It is a habit Hata Jun has developed over the past six years to speak without thinking. If it hadn't been for the fact that the appointed commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Terauchi Toshiichi, has had continuous problems and insulted the prestige of the Imperial Japanese Army, I am afraid it would not be his turn. Hata Junliu, Hata Junliu is also very clear that a large number of people in the military department and the staff headquarters are waiting for their bad luck to cause problems.

This is like two unlucky guys at the same time. One broke his leg while walking, and the other fell directly into an idiot. With good traditions, Terauchi Shouichi can easily take over as the commander-in-chief of his China Expeditionary Force.

Hata Junliu was not too worried about the battle on the frontal battlefield in the Wuhan Raiders, because under the absolute superiority of sea and air firepower, the defeat of the Chinese army was already a foregone conclusion, but he could decide when to defeat the Chinese defenders, and use The fierce firepower consumes their vitality, makes them feel hopeless and fearful, and causes the squadron to suffer the greatest casualties, and they will fall down like sand.

Hata Toshiro's tactics can be said to be very simple. First, use the Army, Navy and Air Force to deal a blow to the morale of the squadron. The generals from the emperor to the decision-making level, together with the three chiefs who control the fate of the Japanese Empire, the staff of the General Staff Headquarters, and even the rebellious Kwantung Army combat staff, have clearly understood one thing, that is, the great Japanese No matter how powerful the empire is, it is impossible to defeat China. It is impossible for Japan to occupy all of China through a single war.

For Japan, it is very easy to start a war, but the difficulty is how to end this war!It is ultimately in the interests of the Japanese Empire to let this war go down quickly. Only in this way can Japan have time to digest and consolidate the occupied areas. If there is another war, then there is no doubt that the Great Japanese Empire will be absolutely The victor, but Japan cannot win the current war at all. The Japanese understand it very well, but they cannot calm down from their mania. Laughing butt, but this passion has been burning the soul of the Japanese.

Hata Junliu is most worried about Gao Fei's mysterious fifth column. Among the officers and soldiers of the grassroots troops, there have always been rumors about this ghostly army. A unit crawled out of hell. No one knows their origins. Coming out of the darkness, they are bloodthirsty, ignoring death, and risking life and death at the cost of annihilating the entire army in every battle!The Japanese officers and soldiers who cleaned up the remains of the dead officers and soldiers of the fifth column at the Yanziji Fort in Nanjing had personal experience.

Hata Toshiro's great worry about Gao Fei's fifth column gave him the idea of ​​​​forming a special force. Originally, the commander of the North China Dispatch Army Terauchi Shouichi also had this plan, but Terauchi Shouichi lacked suitable generals, and the special forces The cost of formation is high. For the imperial finances that can't even afford three months of military expenses and are stretched, how to form a special force with only two to three hundred people but consume a brigade's supplies?I am afraid that the military will not give special approval. The only possibility is to temporarily include it in the battle order of the Chinese Front Army, and use the excuse of dealing with the enemy's special forces during the Wuhan Raiders to form the first real special forces in the Empire of Japan.

And the commander of this unit, Toshiro Hata, already had a candidate, that is, Major Yamashita Kifu, who was famous in the Empire of Japan and studied special operations in Germany for five years.

Kio Yamashita, who was ordered to report to Shunro Hata, looked very capable. He was not wearing a Japanese army uniform, but a set of training uniforms for German mountain infantry. Kio Yamashita walked all the way to the door of Shunro Hata's office , Shinji Takahashi, the lieutenant on duty of Shunro Hata, was a little stunned. He had seen someone who was crazy, but he had never seen such an unreliable guy. As the Imperial Japanese Army, he actually wore a German mountain infantry uniform?A little silver flower under the black eagle?

Although Takahashi Shinji was very dissatisfied with Yamashita Kifu's excessive arrogance, after all, he did not have the place and power to speak here. In the highly hierarchical Japanese army, even though he was the deputy commander of His Excellency Hata Shunroku, his rank was only captain, and Kio Yamashita is a major. If he is an ordinary person, even a general like Takahashi Shinji will give him face because of his position, and Kio Yamashita belongs to the kind of smelly and hard The guy, so Shinji Takahashi will not care about anything with a guy like Kifu Yamashita.

By the way, Kio Yamashita, who was a member of the Imperial Army, actually wore a German military uniform?Hata Junroku didn't seem to mind too much. After all, in Hata Junroku's view, arrogant guys are extraordinary and capable people, and free and mediocre guys are law-abiding babies, because they are mediocre and incompetent.

Hata Toshiro pointed to the silver flower on Yamashita Kifu's chest and said, "What does this represent in the German army?"

Yamashita Mufu respectfully stood at attention and saluted: "Your Excellency, this is a sterling silver edelweiss. It is an honor awarded to the German Army Mountain Infantry who received all the training and achieved excellent results. He challenged Eden Reina with the two-day supply alone. , a symbol of courage, wisdom and will!"
