After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Japan began a full-scale war of aggression against China. For this reason www.biquge.info Japan mobilized for the war and began to recruit a large number of soldiers, and the 16th Division, which was a first-class division, was also expanded from 18,000 in peacetime to about 25,000 in wartime.

In September 1937, the 16th Division landed at Tanggu Port in Tianjin and was incorporated into the battle sequence of the Second Army of the Japanese North China Front. Subsequently, he participated in battles in areas such as the Ziya River.

The defeat of Wan Fulin's 53rd Army of the Northeast Army caused the flank of the Chinese army's position in the direction of Baoding to be exposed and collapsed. At the end of October 1937, the 16th Division was incorporated into the battle sequence of the Shanghai Dispatch Army and transferred from North China to Shanghai.

Then how could the 16th Division appear here in Taihang Mountain? It may be that Han Lie's appearance has produced a butterfly effect, Han Lie didn't know that the 16th Division had arrived at Taihang Mountain at this time.

At this time, the 16th Division had Lieutenant General Nakajima Imasago as the division commander and Nakazawa Mifu Daisa as the chief of staff.

The 19th Infantry Brigade, the brigade commander is Major General Tatsumi Kusaba (under the jurisdiction of the 9th Infantry Wing, the wing leader is Katagiri Goro Osa, the 20th Infantry Wing, the wing leader is Nobuaki Ohno)

The 30th Infantry Brigade, the brigade commander is Major General Sasaki Toichi (under the jurisdiction of the 33rd Infantry Wing, the wing leader is Kengo Noda, and the 38th Infantry Wing, the wing commander is Sukegawa Shizuji Daisa)

The Twentieth Cavalry Wing, led by Toshimatsu Kasai. The 22nd Wing of the Field Artillery, the captain of the wing is Mikuni Naofuku Osa. The 16th Engineer Wing, the wing commander is now Naka Wuyi Dazuo. The 16th Wing of the Heavy Army, the captain of the wing is Tozawa Nakasa. Signal Corps Health Corps: 1st to 4th Field Hospitals.

On the way to Nanjing, countless atrocities were created, and the "100 people beheaded" killing competition was one of them. By the time the 16th Division landed near Shanghai, the Japanese had already occupied Shanghai.

As a result, Matsui Ishone, who was then the commander of the Japanese Central China Front, ordered the division to pursue the Chinese troops retreating from Shanghai to Nanjing.

The 16th Division, under the leadership of Nakajima Imasago, successively captured Changshu, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Danyang, Jurong, Tangshui Town, and Qilinmen, and entered the Purple Mountain line in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing.

The division burned, killed, and plundered along the way, and its atrocities were numerous. On the way to Nanjing, the division was unable to keep up with the supply because the speed of the march was too fast, so it ordered the "expropriation" of grain and straw on the spot, and the so-called "expropriation" was actually plunder.

At that time, the so-called "100-man beheading", which was widely publicized by Japan's "Tokyo Daily News" and other newspapers, took place in this division. During the pursuit of the 16th Division from Wuxi to Changzhou, Second Lieutenant Noda Takeshi, the 3rd Brigade of the 9th Infantry Wing of the 19th Brigade of the Division, and Second Lieutenant Toshiaki Mukai, the leader of the artillery squad of the brigade.

Meet when you arrive in Nanjing, see who will kill 100 people with Japanese swords first. After that, the two officers began to slaughter on a large scale, and when they reached the Purple Mountain outside Nanjing, Noda Takeshi killed 105 people, while Mukai Toshiaki killed 106 people.

The commander of the 16th Division was also extremely cruel, Nakajima Imago (1881-1945) was a lieutenant general of the Japanese Army, the commander of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, and one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre.

On December 13, 1937, he invaded Nanjing, led his troops to participate in the "Nanjing Massacre", and killed more than 160,000 Chinese civilians and prisoners of war.

On October 25, 1945, after Japan's defeat in the war, he died of illness and escaped trial by the Nanjing Military Tribunal.

Han Lie soon learned the news, although Nakajima Imago died in 1945, Han Lie wanted the 16th Division to die early.

Deng Long was also very angry about this, because he could finally take revenge, so he had recently stepped up his training, in order to kill his enemies and avenge his father.

The 16th Division led by Nakajima killed 240,000 Chinese in the Nanjing Massacre, accounting for eight-tenths of the total number of people killed in the massacre.

"Now that I know their identities, then I, Han Lie, swear that I will let you take revenge in the future and let you kill them ruthlessly." Han Lie patted Deng Long on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you, Brother Lie." Deng Long said with a smile.

"It's okay, they're all brothers, that's how it should be. Recently, let the brothers hurry up the training, because the combat power of the 16th Division is really strong, otherwise the devil will not be used as a standing division, so it is necessary to step up training, and you must not let go of any training time. Han Lie said.

"I see! Brother Lie, all I think about now is revenge. Deng Long said.

"Training is training, revenge is revenge, don't lose your mind because of revenge, and want revenge." Han Lie said.

"I see! Brother Lie, this state will never occur. Deng Long said.

"That's good, go ahead! The last time we made such a fuss, it would definitely make the devils aware of it, so recently stepped up the secret sentry, and I am afraid that the devils will send a reconnaissance team to investigate. Han Lie said.

"I'll let the brothers arrange a secret sentry, don't worry, Brother Lie." Deng Long said confidently.

"Two people have a secret outpost, and then go with me at night to reconnoiter the place of the 16th Division, and it will be useful to fight when the time comes." Han Lie said.

"Okay, I'll go get ready first." Deng Long said.

"Go ahead." Han Lie said, and then Deng Long walked away, leaving Han Lie alone and thinking, he himself didn't understand why the devil suddenly appeared on Taihang Mountain.

…………

"Why is there a force near Taihang Mountain, doesn't it mean that there are no other forces here? How did you all get it? Nakajima said angrily as he slammed the table.

"I'm sorry, I didn't have it when I had a scout earlier, I think it was recently." Chief of Staff Mitsuo Nakazawa said.

"Baga, then, it only appeared recently, you can scout for me, where is that mysterious army? Then destroy them for me, or they'll cause us trouble here. Nakajima scolded.

"Hey! I'll go. The chief of staff said.

"If His Majesty the Emperor knew that we had been attacked by unknown forces, it would make many colleagues laugh." Nakajima said.

"Also, let Noda Takeshi go to the neighborhood and see if there are any villagers? Catch some. Nakajima said.

"Hey! Your Excellency Division Commander. The chief of staff said.

The chief of staff didn't ask why Nakajima wanted to arrest these villagers, but he didn't ask either, because he knew in his heart. What Nakajima Imago did, he didn't even ask.

"I'll make these hateful Shina people pay the price for attacking my empire's armies." Nakajima said with a smile.
