Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2119 Deserters
The Osaka Fourth Division is a joke in the sequence of the Japanese invasion of China. The reputation of "the world's most useless and abandoned division" has long been known in the Japanese military circles, so the promotion of Sawada Shigeru, who had served as the division commander of the division, to the commander of the 13th Army once caused an uproar in the Japanese government and the opposition.At this time, Sawada Shigeru's blind eye in Hainan helped him a lot. It is true that the Fourth Division was weak, but Sawada Shigeru, a senior officer at the level of division commander, went to the front line and was blinded in one eye because of it. Some military officers believed that this could fully demonstrate his personal bravery and loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, so despite objections, he still secured the position of commander of the 13th Army.And as the 13th Division produced two giants in a row and began to show their talents in New Guinea, this credit was naturally credited to him, so the resume of serving in the [-]th Division became his capital instead. .He also began to enjoy the heartfelt support of the middle and lower ranks of the [-]th Army like his predecessors.

The Qinling Mountains have been a natural barrier to defend Shaanxi since ancient times. The existence of the Qinling Mountains also makes Sichuan, the rear area of ​​China, a real one. This is also the main reason why the Japanese base camp had to consider opening up the western front against China from the Indochina Peninsula.However, because the Xuebing Expeditionary Force and the Northeast Expeditionary Force have now firmly controlled most of the Indochina Peninsula, and completely blocked the Japanese army's plot, it was first proposed by Koizumi Toshiichiro, and then Yamamoto 56 and Yonei Mitsumasa reconsidered. There began to be voices of using airborne troops to overcome the natural barrier of the Qinling Mountains to use troops against China's rear.There was no market for this call, because in the Japanese military system, its airborne troops were a joke similar to the original Fourth Division.Japan developed airborne troops, no, they were called paratroopers at that time because they were influenced by the Germans.At the beginning of World War II (according to the concept of Westerners), Germany dispatched more than a hundred paratroopers from the sky, and captured the Eben-Emaar Fortress on the defense line of the Albert Canal in Belgium by surprise. cavalry.The Japanese nation has a characteristic that they want to learn when they see something good. Since the paratroopers have this magical effect, and Germany is their ally, there is no reason why they should learn first.However, after two years, although the Japanese paratroopers took shape, they had frequent accidents during training, and gradually faded out of the sight of those military leaders.

Since the paratroopers can't do it, what else can the Japanese army do to cross the Qinling Barrier?It is still airborne, but the tool is not a parachute, but a glider.The plan was first put forward by Koizumi Toshiichiro, and the reason why Koizumi Toshiichiro knew how to manage the army in the navy was because of the post he saw on the military website before crossing.The post analyzed the reasons for the defeat of the Japanese army, and believed that the most critical problem was that they failed to reach Sichuan, the rear area of ​​China at that time, which gave the central government of China a chance to breathe.The post proposed that the empire should give priority to resolving the China incident before sending troops to Southeast Asia, and the solution was to cross the natural barrier of the Qinling Mountains.The author of this post is obviously a military fan, and he had a deep understanding of the situation on the Sino-Japanese battlefield at that time. He suggested that since paratroopers are not good enough, why can't they just use a glider to make an emergency landing?At that time, Japan was fully capable of producing enough gliders within a certain period of time.With Japan fully controlling the sky in China, the glider can safely fly over the Qinling Mountains, and then make an emergency landing under the protection of fighter jets.The post directly pointed out that at that time, as long as the empire could dispatch 3 gliders at one time and parachute more than [-] troops, it would be able to guarantee the occupation of a stronghold, and with this stronghold, the empire could continue to increase its troops in Shaanxi , It also has the ability to continue to fight against the rear of China.

In order to promote this combat plan, Toshiichiro Koizumi wrote in a telegram to persuade Yamamoto 56: If the empire wants to completely defeat the United States, it must give priority to resolving the China incident, so that more elite troops can be deployed to the Pacific battlefield.In China, the imperial army actually had only three enemies.These three enemies are the Central Army, the Revolutionary Army, and the Xuebing Army.Facts have proved that the cost of defeating the apprentice army at this stage is too high for the empire to make ends meet.Since this is the case, it is better to attack the rear of China first and completely defeat the Central Army and the Japanese Army.As long as these two armies are defeated, the empire will be able to win over the warlord troops in China, and use Chinese to control Chinese soldiers...

Yamamoto 56 was moved by his heart, and Mitsumasa Minai was also moved by this plan with his words.Under their influence, Hideki Tojo also began to seriously consider the feasibility of the strategy.Then related discussions expanded to the entire military high-level.

Although the Xuebing Army defeated the Japanese army's attempt to reinforce Madang and disabled the Japanese Independent 13th Brigade, it failed to have a decisive impact on the current battle situation in Madang.Without reinforcements, the little devils became even crazier. They fought every step of the way, fighting for every tunnel, every bunker, and every Tibetan soldier hole with the student army. Before Ouyang Yun returned to Guangzhou, Rao Guohua invested fourteen group, but the results were dismal.Nearly 3000 cadets from the [-] regiments continued to attack the Japanese army, but only captured one-third of the unreasonable mountain fortifications. The price they paid was that more than [-] cadets died in battle, and another [-] Yu Xuebing was seriously injured.As for the Japanese army, according to the estimates of the front-line officers, there are at least [-] people.

It was no coincidence that the high-performance weapons and equipment could not play a role, which made the students of Rao Guohua's department extremely aggrieved. At the moment when Ouyang Yun's landed plane landed at Baiyunshan Airport, deserters finally appeared. The students in the platoon couldn't hold back the little devil's suicide attack and were defeated, throwing the frontline students into chaos all at once.The Japanese army took this opportunity to regain the tunnels and caves that had been lost during the day, and the Xuebing Army suffered more than [-] casualties in just half an hour.

The cadets of a defeated platoon were actually formed by a company. After the commander of the company died in battle, the deputy company commander failed to stabilize the troops. As a result, all the surviving students of the company became deserters.

It is not that there have been deserters in the history of the Xuebing Army, but it is unique to have such an organizational system and a company-level scale. The Xuebing Army attaches great importance to political and ideological work. Foundation.In Ji Xingwen's proud words when he met Tan Kah Kee, each of us Xuebing is a spiritual giant, let the so-called bushido spirit of the little devil go to hell.

The students of the Chenglian system became deserters, which directly caused heavy casualties to the troops and lost the results of the day. Rao Guohua was furious when he received the report and ordered them to be shot immediately.Then he convened a meeting of officers above the head of the regiment, at which he reiterated the order of the general headquarters. Finally, he said with grief and indignation: "The three-day time limit is approaching, and we have actually failed. Failure is not terrible, but there are deserters. This behavior is our greatest shame. Ladies and gentlemen, the commander-in-chief has returned to Guangzhou. I originally wanted to use a horse as a gift to welcome him, but now—— Ladies and gentlemen, we have made a huge sacrifice. Dang, didn't those brothers die in vain? I will call the general headquarters later to ask for a day of grace for us. I hope that everyone will do more work as soldiers when they go back. Tomorrow will be our last chance."
