As soon as the words of the commander of the 4th Division, Matsui Ming, fell, all the devil officers cast disdainful glances at him.

Since we are talking about the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, we have to mention the history of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army.

Most of the soldiers of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army came from the Osaka area of Japan, so it was also called the Osaka Division.

The Osaka area has become an important commercial area in Japan since ancient times, so the Osaka Fourth Division is also known as the Merchant Division), founded in 1888, is one of the 17 standing divisions formed by the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II.

The formation took place in Osaka, Japan, and the soldiers were mainly composed of Osaka vegetable sellers and traveling merchants. You don't expect such a person to play with his life on the battlefield, the one who plays with his life on the battlefield either has faith, or he has no money, and it is basically impossible for a businessman to go to the battlefield and let him play with his life.

In the Battle of Xuzhou in 1938, General Li Delin commanded 400,000 countries. The army shifted and jumped out of the encirclement, but on the way to the transfer, it encountered the 4th Division in Osaka.

Country. The army had been marching for a few days, and I thought this was over. The Japanese army was not only well-equipped, but also had a strong fighting quality of soldiers, which was far from what they could handle.

Therefore, if you pass through their defense zone, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

What is unexpected is that the 4th Division of the Japanese Army did not fire a single shot. The army passed.

The explanation of the people of Osaka was that they did not receive an order from their superiors to intercept.

Fortunately, Li Delin's unit encountered the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, that is, the Osaka Division, otherwise if he encountered any other Japanese division, he was afraid that the consequences would be very serious.

In 1939, when Japan and the Soviet Union fought a major war at Nomenkan, the Osaka Corps was transferred north to the front to support, but after the order was issued, they did not move, because as soon as they received the battle order, many people fell ill and were hospitalized.

From the garrison to Nomenkan, the other troops took four days, but the 4th Division walked for eight days, and the non-combat attrition was very serious.

Although the Osaka Division was not good in combat, it was very good.

On the day of arriving at Nomenkan, the Soviet Union and Japan ceased war, and the officers and men of the 4th Regiment who fell ill were also discharged from the hospital en masse.

Ironically, on the way back, the 4th Division, which was fully loaded and full of spirit, became the most formidable unit in the Japanese army, while the 2nd Division, which was the first to arrive at the battlefield, lost its armor and was full of wounded soldiers.

During the Battle of Changsha, the 4th Division was assigned to the 11th Army battle sequence.

Commander Anan asked the 4th Division to fight the main force, but the little devils of the 4th Division turned around and fled when they heard the gunshots, and since then the 4th Division has become a division that no one wants.

The Japanese base camp can only organize him as a unit directly under the base camp, and now the 4th Division began to brag, you see how powerful we are, the base camp is directly under the troops.

Later, the Japanese army encountered stubborn resistance from the Chinese army when attacking Hengyang and Zhijiang.

At the beginning of the battle, veterans from the 4th Division repeated their old tricks, from officers, non-commissioned officers to veterans, who were admitted to the hospital and passively but reasonably refused to fight.

When the wounded Japanese soldiers arrived at the hospital, the "seniors" of the 4th Division who were "recuperating" had to ask: "Why are you playing with your life like this?"

When asked why they were reluctant to participate in the war, these "sick people" said arrogantly: "I heard that we are acting as a feint in this sortie, which is very boring.

By the time Japan surrendered in August 1945, the 4th Division, which was resting in Thailand at that time, accepted the surrender with little hesitation and quickly reorganized as the first unit to return to Japan.

When the Japanese people who greeted them at the port saw the 4th Division, they felt that it was not a war and a lost vacation.

Even more bizarre: On the fourth day after returning to China, some people from the Fourth Regiment took to the streets to sell war souvenirs to the US troops stationed in Japan and the Japanese people.

Later, the Americans evaluated this Japanese army as a "peace-loving" unit.

I have to say that the 4th Division of the Japanese Army is really a clear stream in the Japanese Army.

……

In this way, it is not difficult to know that Matsui will behave so badly after hearing the order of the commander Nishio Shouzo to let the 4th Division attack from the east and deal with the Tiger Bun Regiment.

Looking at Matsui's unhappy look, Nishio Shouzo was furious: "Yaga! His Majesty the Emperor sent your 4th Division to China to let you come to attack the city and plunder the land, not to let you come for a vacation, to enjoy the mountains and rivers!

You have to take this order, and you have to take it if you don't take it! ”

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the silence of the entire command tent was as deathly silent, almost audible as a pin.

Matsui held his head down and didn't speak.

After a while, Nishio Shouzo calmed down a little and continued: "Matsui-kun, don't worry, I will ask the aviation unit to fully cooperate with your 4th Division at that time!"

With the strength of your 4th Division, you will definitely be able to capture the enemy's positions around Mingqian Town in one fell swoop, annihilate the Tiger Regiment, and win this immortal battle feat! ”

"Hah...... Haye! I will do my best! ”

Matsui knew that the military order would not be disobeyed, so he could only agree to come down first.

"Since everyone has no objections, then the troops will immediately go to the established location and immediately launch a general attack on the enemy defenders! Be sure to capture Taiyuan in the shortest possible time! ”

"Haya!"

……

The picture pulls to Mingqian Town.

Yang Chen led the order of the commander-in-chief Fu Yisheng to be responsible for the defense of the area around Mingqian Town.

During this time, the Tiger Regiment continued to repair the fortifications and stepped up military training.

Under Yang Chen's high-intensity training regardless of wear and tear, cramming.

The recruits of the Tiger Ben Regiment have made great progress, and in terms of marksmanship alone, they are not inferior to many veterans.

Garrison Headquarters of the Tiger Regiment.

Yang Chen was facing a sand table and asked about the arming of the various departments under his command.

In order to cultivate the combat ability of the brothers under his command, he did not interfere in the deployment of each battalion this time, but just let them watch and handle it themselves, and after the deployment was completed, report to him, and then he pointed out the shortcomings.

Under Yang Chen's deliberate training, the tactical guidance ability of the commanders of each battalion of the Huben Regiment has been greatly strengthened.

"Tuanza, the division of the fire point of my artillery battalion is like this, it's not me bragging, no matter which direction the little devils come from, they will suffer the harshest fire attack from my artillery battalion!"

Zhang Dali patted his chest and reported to Yang Chen, the regimental seat, the situation of the artillery battalion fire subdivision.

"Hmm!"

Yang Chen nodded, and then asked, "Air defense positions, are you all deployed?" ”

"Air defense positions?"

When everyone heard this, they were collectively stunned.

"Don't you know the little devil's attacking three-plank axe? On which occasion did they not carry out several air strikes on our positions before attacking, and then the ground forces waited for an opportunity to attack? ”。

Yang Chen's approving expression just now was completely gone, and he suddenly became gloomy.
