The 9th Division, which consisted of soldiers from Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui prefectures in Hokuriku, was one of the most effective divisions in the Japanese Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is also a coincidence that since the defeat of the Soviet Union and Jin Dynasty out of Shandong, he has fought with the most famous troops such as the second, fifth, and sixth divisions of the Japanese army, but he has not met with the ninth division. Although Higuchi Jiichiro had never fought with Su Jin, he had already learned about the combat effectiveness of Su Jin's troops from the mouths of other generals and battle reports, but he didn't dare to underestimate it in the slightest, after all, at this time, if anyone dared to carry the invincible shelf of the Imperial Army of the Great Nippinichi Empire, he would be a complete idiot,

This time, Lieutenant General Higuchi Jiichiro came with the Ninth Division with the belief that he would win and destroy Su Jin no matter what, as a senior general, he naturally knew that as long as he could accomplish this goal, even if he fought the Ninth Division out, there would be no problem, as long as he could eliminate Su Jin, the henchman of the empire, he, the division commander, would immediately be able to rise to another level, there was no doubt about it.

Higuchi Jiichiro thought so, and so he did it, just when he led tens of thousands of troops of the Ninth Division all over the world to find the traces of Su Jin, the news came that Akiyama Yoshiyo, who was responsible for attacking Huludao Airport, was defeated. The captain of the seventh wing led by Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was defeated and fled, and the troops of more than 3,000 people only came back with more than 1,000 people, if it weren't for the news that Akiyama Yoshiyoshi also brought back Su Jin also appeared, Higuchi Jiichiro would almost let this guy have his own disembowelment.

After getting the news of Su Jin, Higuchi Jiichiro immediately led all the more than 20,000 troops of the Ninth Division towards Huludao, and Su Jin's next move also surprised everyone, he actually led the outside of the airport to start a positional battle with the Ninth Division. At the beginning, Higuchi Jiichiro was overjoyed, thinking that Su Jin was killing himself, because according to the information he obtained, the troops led by Su Jin were only more than 10,000 people, as long as he surrounded them and eliminated this lone army, it was a matter of time, but three days passed, and the development of the battle situation was beyond everyone's expectations. Su Jin's troops not only firmly occupied the position of dozens of miles with the airport as the core, but also caused huge casualties to the Ninth Division.

Looking at the embarrassed Akiyama Yoshiyo in front of him, Kiichiro Higuchi's teeth were chattering, it was this guy who even suffered defeat, and led the troops to attack for several days, and he didn't gain anything except for the loss of his troops.

Taking a deep breath, Higuchi Jiichiro said with a calm face: "Akiyama-kun, in view of your successive failures, I plan to withdraw the Sixth Brigade and let the Eighteenth Brigade take over your attack, what do you think?" ”

It would be an insult to any officer to remove a unit that was being charged with an attack and replace it with another unit, which had always valued the spirit of bushido. However, looking at Higuchi Jiichiro's face that is darker than the bottom of the pot, Akiyama Yoshiyo also knows that his performance in the past few days is really unsatisfactory, and it is no wonder that Higuchi Jiichiro is angry, but he still has something to say about the loss in the past few days.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have nothing to say about my failures these days, because I have no ability to blame others. But there are some things I still want to say, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable, and at the same time, it can be regarded as some advice from me to Jing Shujun. ”

"Anyway, I'd like to hear what you have to say!" Higuchi Jiichiro and a major general standing on the other side glanced at each other, and then said lightly.

"Yes!"

Akiyama Yoshiyoshi said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, through these days of fighting. I found that Su Jin's troops were completely different from the Chinese armies we had come into contact with before. Their firepower is more powerful, the soldier's shooting level is very high, especially their rifles are almost all semi-automatic or even fully automatic weapons, our soldiers often shoot with them when we just shoot a bullet, the opponent's four or five bullets to return fire are over, especially their machine gun firepower is ridiculously powerful, whether our eleven-year light machine gun or ninety-two heavy machine gun is not their opponent, we can't suppress the opponent's firepower at all, Soldiers are often beaten into a sieve by the opponent as soon as they emerge to charge, such an opponent cannot be defeated by the bravery and number of soldiers alone, we must use more intense firepower and even call in aviation to come to support him to eliminate him! ”

"Excuses, all excuses!" As soon as Akiyama Yoshiyoshi's words fell, Jing Shuxuan, who was standing next to Kiichiro Higuchi, immediately stood up and refuted: "Akiyama-kun, you are still a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire. It's just that after a few failures, you even come up with such a clumsy excuse, when did the Japanese Empire have to rely on the superiority of firepower and even aircraft to defeat the enemy? ”

There will never be a shortage of people in this world who overestimate themselves, Major General Jing Shuxuanshi and Major General Akiyama Yoshiyoshi are both brigade commanders of the 9th Division, and they are also competitors to the next division commander of the 9th Division.

There is an unwritten rule in the Japanese Army that if there are no special circumstances, the term of office of each division commander is generally two to three years, and any longer period requires special approval from the base camp or even the emperor. This is also a common rule in the armies of countries around the world, in order to avoid the bad results of a general staying in a certain unit for too long. Higuchi Jiichiro was inaugurated in December of Showa 14 (1939) to the 9th Division, and it has been more than two years and almost three years now, which means that his term of office is almost up, according to the grapevine, the next division commander is likely to be produced between the two brigade commanders, and now the two have suddenly become rivals, how can Jing Shuxuan let go of the opportunity to hit the opponent.

His kindness was so misinterpreted, Akiyama Yoshiyo was so angry that his face changed, and he couldn't help sneering: "Okay...... Okay, since Jing Shujun said so, then I have nothing to say, I am here to wish you to take down the position of the Zhina people in one fell swoop and annihilate the Zhina troops on the opposite side! ”

Jing Shuxuan grinned and said: "Thank you Akiyama-kun for your kindness, I will take down the opposite Zhina position, if it goes well, maybe I will capture that Su Jin over, and if I can capture Su Jin alive and send it to the mainland, let His Majesty the Emperor see the bravery of the soldiers of our Ninth Division!" ”

After speaking, Jing Shuxuanshi turned around and walked out of the command headquarters, looking at the back of Jing Shuxuanshi leaving, the cold smile on Akiyama Yoshiyo's face couldn't be hidden, everyone is a senior general of the Ninth Division, and the combat effectiveness of the 18th Brigade is not clear to him, this Jing Shuxuanshi seems to be dazzled by the position of the division commander, but the position of the division commander is not so easy to do, and he was careful that he broke a few teeth without eating anything.

When Jing Shuxuanshi walked out of the division headquarters, the commander of the 19th Infantry Wing belonging to the 18th Brigade, Hitomi Hidesansa, and the 36th Infantry Wing Commander Wakisaka Jiro Osa, were already waiting at the door. ”

"Yo Xi!"

Jing Shuxuan did not stop, but beckoned the two to follow. Jing Shuxuan came to a deserted wasteland and stood still, turned his head to the two people who followed closely behind him, and said solemnly: "You just heard the conversation between me and the commander of the Akiyama Brigade at the gate, Su Jin, the commander of the Third Army of China, is in the airport of Huludao, as long as we can capture the airport, whether it is to kill or capture Su Jin's henchman, our entire eighteenth brigade of tens of thousands of warriors will become heroes of the empire, and you will enjoy an unparalleled aura." For the sake of the 18th Brigade and the 9th Division, are you willing to work with me to fulfill this wish? ”

Seeing that Shuzo and Wakisaka Jiro glanced at each other, they said in unison: "I am willing to die for His Majesty the Emperor and the Onichi Empire!" ”

The Japanese attack began again, and the 9th Division was a four-wing division of the Japanese army, and in addition, it was subordinate to the Kwantung Army, so it was equipped with much more artillery than the division in Kannai. Before the attack, when Kiichiro Higuchi assigned the 2nd Independent Heavy Artillery Wing to Jing Shuxuan, after the offensive began, 12 Type 92 cannons and 36 Type 38 field guns belonging to the 2nd Independent Heavy Artillery Wing launched an artillery bombardment on the outer positions of the airfield, and for a time the positions on the east side of the airfield were immediately overwhelmed by bursts of smoke and violent explosions.

Just when Jing Shuxuan was commanding the 18th Brigade to launch an attack on the airport, Su Jinzheng, as the supreme commander of the Third Army, received good news in an inconspicuous command center.

"You say our runway has been completely repaired?"

The person standing respectfully in front of Su Jin was wearing a Japanese-style tweed general's school uniform, and the three stars on his shoulders were shining with white silver light, this person was none other than Taro Iwasaki, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Japanese Protector Army.

"Yes, Your Excellency General, after our unremitting efforts, we have repaired all the airport runways half an hour ago, which means that our fighters can take off with confidence!"

At this time, Taro Iwasaki no longer had the hostility towards Su Jin at the beginning, and looked at Su Jin with indescribable respect in his eyes.

The worship of the strong has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the Rii himself is estimated to be the most realistic nation in the world, and Iwasaki Taro, who originally hated Su Jin so much, also became Su Jin's most loyal supporter like Guan Yuan Taro after surrendering, the reason is very simple, because they know that since the day they joined the Protector Army, their fate has been firmly linked to Su Jin, if something happens to Su Jin or fails, the fate waiting for them will be extremely miserable.

Since the arrival of the Ninth Division, Taro Guan Yuan has been sent by Su Jin to the eastern position to take charge of the defense line there, and Taro Iwasaki has taken over the work of Taro Guan Yuan to supervise those Japanese expatriates to repair the airport in a hurry, and after three days of sleepless work, the airport was finally repaired half an hour ago.

Seeing that Su Jin didn't speak, Iwasaki Taro said boldly: "Your Excellency General, since our airfield has been repaired, can we order those hidden fighters to take off quickly and give those invading enemies a heavy blow?" ”

Su Jin didn't speak, raised his head and looked at Iwasaki Taro with a look that seemed to be smiling, "Iwasaki Daisa, I heard that you are a high-achieving student who graduated from Nihonshi University, but I didn't expect that you also have a lot of research for the Air Force!" ”

After seeing Su Jin's almost playful expression, Iwasaki Taro was taken aback, thinking that Su Jin was angry at his unauthorized assertion, so he quickly bowed ninety degrees and said in fear: "Don't dare, Your Excellency General, I was reckless!" ”

"Okay, don't be too nervous, I'm just asking, you don't have to worry too much." Seeing Taro Iwasaki's nervous look, Su Jin couldn't help but feel bored for a while, it seemed that once this person surrendered, even his backbone would gradually wear out.

He waved his hand with interest, "Iwasaki Daisa, you don't have to be too nervous. Although you have done things that are sorry for the Chinese people before, but since you have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, then we will not pursue the past things. As long as you work hard for me, after the defeat and surrender of the Japanese in the future, I can promise you to arrange a good position for you in the Japanese capital. If you are interested in holding a public office in the government, I can arrange a position of real power for Vinnie, and if you are willing to continue to serve in the army, I can also arrange it for you, and it will never be lower than your previous rank, what do you think? ”

Iwasaki Taro couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, what did he do so hard for Su Jin? Isn't it just for the glory and wealth of the future, when he thinks that after the defeat of Japan in the future, he can return to Japan with the scenery of the Japanese Protector Army, and when he thinks of this, his eyes can't help but shine.

He bowed deeply to Su Jin again, and almost lowered his head to the ground, "Thank you for your concern, I will definitely serve Your Excellency the General well, strive to defeat the evil old Japanese government controlled by the Japanese chaebol as soon as possible, and work hard to establish a new Japanese government of equality and freedom!" ”

Looking at Taro Iwasaki's inexplicable look of gratitude, Su Jin nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's good, you go down first!" ”

"Hay! Then I won't bother Your Excellency General, take care! ”

After saying that, Iwasaki Taro bowed again and took a few steps back before turning to leave.

"Tsk...... It's no wonder that the Yankees of later generations like to go to Japan, and once he pulls down his face and slaps his ass, it's really extraordinary! The men of the day are like this, if they are replaced by the women of the day, then it will be repaid? ”

Thinking of this, Su Jin shook his head vigorously again, and reminded himself that he was a person with three daughters-in-law, but he couldn't be caught by the sugar-coated cannonball of Ri himself. Soon, Su Jin focused his attention on the battle in front of him. Now that the runway has been repaired, he has much more space to manoeuvre...... (To be continued.) )
