Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1792 Discussion about the Fourth Division

Wang Hai and the others started to return at about two o'clock in the afternoon. Without He Yingqin's harassment, the unloading efficiency at the airport increased sharply.And just as they were on their way back to the voyage, on the west bank of the Oujiang River, the Xuebing Army marched in three directions. With the support of Xue Changkong's Fu Police Aviation Unit, they launched a counterattack against the South China Corps of the Communist Army again.

In the three-pronged attack, Ye Zhao's second army advanced the fastest.There is no big river like the Oujiang River to block them, and they are located in a plain area. With the tank troops of two brigades as the vanguard, they went to Quzhou in half a day, and took Longyou County in the evening of the same day. Approaching Jiande City.

The Xuebing army was too strong, and the Fifth Division of the North Korean Puppet Army and the Independent Tenth Brigade were unable to parry, and because Okamura Neiji and the new head of the South China Corps' military advisory group, Ono Katsuji, intended to abandon small and medium-sized cities in big cities. Launching a decisive battle with the cadet army is tantamount to directly giving the sticks a reason to "strategic retreat", so the scene that makes the cadets laugh and cry appears. Often they start to prepare for artillery fire, and the sticks have already run away. .By eleven o'clock that night, the two units of the Second Xue Army captured Jiande, and the other came to Huangshan, and had fully controlled the initiative on the northern front battlefield.

The three-way offensive, the most difficult one was the southern line commanded by Jiang Guangnai and Liu Yuqing.Because it is across the Oujiang River, and because Taizhou is one of Okamura's pre-determined decisive battles, Ono Katsuji attaches great importance to it.He personally commanded the defense. In order to buy time for troops from other directions to assemble in Taizhou, the little devil mobilized all the Chinese and North Korean puppet troops and Japanese military police in Taizhou and Ningbo to participate in the defense, and expelled about ten thousand Chinese civilians and ordered them to help After building fortifications and unable to use cannons and planes, the Fourth Xue Army attacked all afternoon. After paying a painful price of more than [-] Xue soldiers casualties, Jiang Guangnai had to order a suspension of the offensive.

On the center line, Rao Guohua advanced very smoothly at the beginning, but after taking Yongkang, he encountered a joint counterattack by about one and a half divisions of the Chinese and Korean puppet troops and about two brigades of Japanese gendarmerie troops who were gathering in Taizhou in Wuyi County. It was getting late, and considering that the large-scale bombardment might accidentally injure the Chinese residents in the city, Rao Guohua also suspended the attack after asking Jiang Guangnai for instructions.

The Xuebing Army had just begun to attack the Japanese-occupied area on the Oushui Eastern Front, and Ono Katsuji reported to Okamura and the military headquarters.

And because the Japanese military headquarters just received a report in the afternoon from the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Wuhan, Hisao Nishio, about the large-scale reinforcement of the air force of the Xuebing Army to Chongqing, Hideki Tojo and others felt that the attack on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau would become a challenge. Difficult, so I can't help but waver about giving up southeast Zhejiang again.

What the little devil is most worried about is that after the student army occupies the front-line airport in southeastern Zhejiang, it will be easier to organize air strikes on the Japanese mainland.So after some disputes, Hideki Tojo pointed out that in order to avoid another tragedy similar to the "Nagoya Plague Incident", Southeast Zhejiang must not give up. He proposed to transfer one or two standing divisions from the China Expeditionary Army and the Taiwan Corps of the Commonwealth Army. More than [-] North Korean puppet troops supported the South China Corps. They did not seek to recapture southwest Zhejiang, but they must stabilize the Oushui defense line.In order to strengthen his persuasiveness, he finally said: "Some people always think that the empire can offset the development advantages of the apprentice army with a large scale of military industry. I think this view is absurd. We certainly have the advantages of traditional military industry, but please don't forget, It only took six short years for the Xuebing Army to grow from a mere regiment to its current size! Gentlemen, have you ever studied the development model of the Xuebing Army? I found that the growth of the student army is directly proportional to the territory it occupies. In other words, as long as it has a large enough territory, it can grow into a monster that can rival the empire Therefore, if we really want to use our traditional military advantages to compare with the Xuebing Army, we must also restrict the Xuebing Army from expanding its territory! Gentlemen, has anyone paid attention to the situation in Hainan? To put it nicely, the Fourth Division It is firmly occupying the southwestern coastal area of ​​Hainan, but in fact?" Speaking of this, the old devil deliberately "contemptuously" took a look at Minei Guangzheng, and after everyone expressed enough concern, he continued: " Three days ago, Lieutenant General Zetian and I communicated several telegrams. Gentlemen, the situation of the Fourth Division is not optimistic. They are actually lingering in the heavy siege of the Xuebing Army—why did this happen? The reason Just for someone here, because of his connivance, the Xuebing Army actually smuggled luxury goods to the mainland through the descendants of the merchants of the Fourth Division—how is this different from being an enemy? It is tolerable and unbearable! I thought that after defending southeast Zhejiang, we should immediately mobilize our forces to resolve the situation in Hainan..."

In fact, no matter from which perspective, the Fourth Osaka Division of the Japanese Army is a deformed existence on Hainan Island.Not to mention Xue Bingjun, Ouyang Yun actually kept it for ulterior motives, and it will be of great use in the future; so what about from the Japanese perspective?The army was deceived at first, but after discovering the abnormality, it could only embarrassingly acquiesce in the fact that the Fourth Division always achieved periodic victories. Under the circumstances, this has actually become a fig leaf for the Ministry of the Army-so although it feels that there is a problem, even if it is to explain to Hirohito and the people, the Ministry of the Army needs it to continue to exist in Hainan Island in a deformed state. No matter how much the supply price is paid for this, it is not hesitating.In terms of the navy, because of the poor performance of the Ministry in the Hainan Raiders, it was not to be seen at first, and then it wanted to use those "offspring of merchants" to steal the semiconductor components of the Xuebing Army, and finally it wanted to keep a piece of land that attacked the Xuebing Army from the sea. The springboard, so although Yamamoto 56 realized that there was something tricky early on, he kept holding back.

Tojo didn't know the history of the [-]th Division occupying Hainan Island, and he was simple-minded and couldn't think deeply, so this scene appeared-only after two telegrams with Shigeru Sawada, he thought he had insight It is amazing to say that you have sacrificed everything and used it as an opportunity to fight back against the navy.

After uttering such a long series of shocking words, Tojo thought that Mitsumasa Minai could be a part of the army, and looked at him aggressively with a very proud expression.

But Mitsumasa Minai, as an "old stick" who has been active in Japan's military and political circles for many years, is it so easy to get along with him?Tojo, who counterattacked in just a few words, was speechless—"Is the Fourth Osaka Division under the control of the Army? Could it be that the Department has been changed to the Marine Corps?"

The subtext of these two sentences is obvious-since the Osaka Fourth Division is under the control of the Army, should the Army be responsible for its actions?
