Chapter 633: Heavenly Dao is a good reincarnation
The 11th Division's method of dealing with Kumamoto Castle was to consume Kumamoto Castle's ammunition, manpower, supplies, and everything else with long-range firepower, and then take it in one fell swoop when everything in Kumamoto Castle was scarce. If he had come by strength, Tong Jia would have taken Kumamoto Castle a long time ago, but Tong Jia, who has always been careful and calculating, was reluctant, so he didn't want his soldiers to fight hard, so he chose to slowly grind Kumamoto Castle to death.
Anyway, there is no particularly important strategic purpose, and there are the Fourth Division and the Mercenary Division in the rear, and it is not inappropriate for Tong Jia to adopt this kind of fighting method to minimize his own personnel losses. Tong Jia doesn't want to fight for merit, nor does he want to go further in the military, he has always been very Buddhist, as long as he lives the life in front of him. But not all the people in the 11th Division thought so, Tong Jia had to face the company commander who came to quarrel with him, and he didn't have a temper at all.
Of course, the company commander who dared to quarrel with the division commander was not an ordinary person, and this company commander who had just been transferred from the north because of trouble was none other than Wang Daqiu, the hero of the Ninth Company. Wang Daqiu is a well-known figure in the whole army, the only living first-class combat hero in the entire Northern Manchuria, but he is also a person with a problem. Impulsiveness, aggressiveness, resistance and other problems are trivial things for him, and intermittent madness when he sees Russians is the most annoying.
After the end of the Far Eastern War, the 7th Division remained in the Outer Northeast, that is, the newly established Jiangbei Province of North Manchuria. Jiangbei Province, which is in ruins, has ushered in large-scale government investment, ushered in a large number of new immigrants, and various industries and infrastructure have flourished, and everything is very good. But Wang Daqiu is not suitable here, because there are still Russians here, and there are even some Russian soldiers in Temple Street.
Wang Daqiu's Ninth Company is stationed in Boli, but because there is a Sino-Russian temple street, it is still easy to see Russians in the outer northeast, and even Wang Daqiu often has the opportunity to go to Temple Street for business. Wang Daqiu's problem of Russian madness has not changed, so four months after the war, Wang Daqiu violated discipline and fought more than 20 times, and even beat up a Russian diplomat. If someone else commits such a big thing, they will have to pull the epaulettes if they don't go to the military court, but Wang Daqiu's reputation is too great, and Guo Xing'a also has the heart to cover him, so Wang Daqiu's punishment is just a change of troops. Wang Daqiu bid farewell to his great merit of the Ninth Company, and took his deputy company commander Guo Zhen to the 11th Division stationed in Sanjiang Province.
Wang Daqiu's performance in the 11th Division was still very good, obeying orders and listening to commands, and he also taught the troops the advanced experience of his Ninth Company of Great Merit, helping everyone improve their combat quality together. But after sending troops to Japan this time, Wang Daqiu began to get frizzy. Wang Daqiu, who is like the autumn wind and fire, is very unsuitable for Tong Jia's style of picking and searching, and thinks that Tong Jia is conservative like Guo Xing'a. In Wang Daqiu's eyes, what is there to grind in such a small and broken place as Kumamoto Castle, after being covered by artillery fire, the commando team will take it on top, and there is no need to consume it so much at all.
"Great revenge! I can understand your feelings, make contributions to the country! However, this Kumamoto Castle, we are really not in a hurry to take it, it is better to slowly consume the enemy. Tong Jia and Wang Daqiu played seriously, he also knew that he could form a few commandos and take Kumamoto City with a hard rush, but before the many trees were destroyed, he rushed into the city, and the casualties of the troops were definitely not small, and Tong Jia was reluctant.
"Tun soldiers under the fortified city, it really hurts the spirit of our army, if the enemy in the city has any strange schemes, our army may still be in danger, it is better to go directly to it now. How can there be immortals in leading troops to fight, and you are too careful. Or you'll let me bring someone on it!" I'll be the first one, and I'll take Kumamoto down for you! "Wang Daqiu has never taken human life seriously, and Tong Jia is also the most scared of him.
"The main forces of the Kyushu domains are all in Kumamoto Castle, and if we don't take Kumamoto, we can drag them all the way to provide the Fourth Division and the Mercenary Division with fighters to plunder the Hizen Domain!" Tong Jia came up with an unreliable excuse, in fact, he just wanted his subordinates to die less.
"Wouldn't it be better for us to attack and annihilate them all!" Wang Daqiu came with a more affordable sentence, and almost choked Tong Jia to death.
Tong Jia had the heart to let Wang Daqiu go and rush hard, but thinking about it, there were other soldiers who were really reluctant, and when the two were staring at each other in embarrassment, Liu Qiang, the political commissar of the 11th Division, came in to relieve the siege. The mercenary division that slaughtered the city in Kagoshima did not get carried away, and Asano knew very well that Tong Jia, who was outside Kumamoto City, was fighting for him, so Asano specially sent a brigade to take the lead.
This brigade, which belongs to the Third Wing of the Second Brigade of the Mercenary Division, has a very strange nickname "Xinxuan Brigade", and is even nicknamed the Knife Drawing Team by Guo Xing'a. This brigade is one of the mercenary divisions that represents honor and indomitability, because all of their members are from the Aizu Domain, the Shinsengumi, and even the old army of the shogunate. After the Meiji government unified Japan, these people were either unwilling to surrender or depressed, and this time they were recruited by Asano to join the mercenary division. These guys who carry * at all times are very focused on the promises made to the samurai sword, so their loyalty is no problem. Even in the incident that affected the entire mercenary team is team rebellion, almost no one from the new selection team participated, proving their absolute loyalty.
"Hello Master Tong!" The foreign affairs activities of the mercenary division are generally in charge of Shanyu, so Shanyu's number one cronie Wulin has an extremely high appearance rate.
"Wu Linjun, this brigade this time, are you the captain?" Tong Jia and Liu Qiang are both very familiar with Wulin, and Wang Daqiu is also very impressed by this good old man running around.
"No, no, this captain of Lijian Shangwen is the one who led the team this time, he is not good at Chinese, so I will translate it." Wulin was the only one who introduced the silent group behind him.
Tong Jia didn't have any feelings for this young man named Lijian Shangwen, and Guo Xing'a didn't have much impression of him, but this Lijian Shangwen was really a rare talent. Tachimi Naofumi was originally the third son of the Kuwana clan town and the adopted son of the Kuwana clan Machida Dentai, and the adopted son of the Kuwana clan Tachimi Naoshi, whose original name was Tachimi Kanzaburo. Lijian has been the chamberlain of the feudal lord Matsudaira Dingjing for a long time, and he has learned the spear art of the wind since he was a child, and the swordsmanship of Yagyu Shin Yin Ryu, and he is a master who is not inferior to Mu Shun when he fights alone. Later, when Matsudaira was appointed as the director of Kyoto, he also followed him to Kyoto and entered the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Shogunate Army, where he studied the French military system. After the outbreak of the Boshin War, he helped Hijikata Suizo defend Utsunomiya Castle and made great achievements, and in the North Vietnam War, he carried out guerrilla warfare as the captain of the Thor team, and repeatedly defeated the official army. In particular, in the battle of Mt. Asahi, the head of the Wonder Soldier Team Staff Officer Tokiyama directly eight. He led the sword drawing team of the Kuwana clan to fight all the famous generals of the emperor's army from the Satsuma and Nagasu feudal domains, but in the end he was still alone and surrendered to the emperor with his army. In the shogunate army, he was the last to surrender to the Meiji government.
After surrendering, Limi originally found a job as a court clerk, but after all, he was unwilling to be lonely, and resolutely crossed the sea to join the mercenary division. Asano thought that Tachimi Naofumi, who was only twenty-five years old, was a rare talent, and vigorously promoted him, and let Tachimi become the captain of the brigade less than half a year after enlisting in the army. Everyone thinks that Asano has the grace of knowing the opposite, and it was Asano who gave the loser a chance to stand out, but they didn't know what kind of fierce man Tachimi was in the original history. If there was no Guoxinga to stir up the situation, this Lijian Shangwen would have come to Kyushu Island a few years later to fight against Saigo Takamori, and then broke Ye Zhichao in North Korea, fought with Nie Shicheng and Yiketanga in a bloody battle against Tianzhuangtai, and resisted ten times the Russian army in the Russo-Japanese War, turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop, and has the title of the first soldier in the East. Youpeng in Shanxian has walked around him all his life, even if he sees Shangwen pass away, Youpeng in Shanxian will have to be accompanied by Dashanyan before he dares to go to the mourning hall to show his face.
In addition to this later Japanese army general, there are many well-known Japanese figures, such as the former "Oni Kanbei" of the Aizu Domain, Sagawa Kanbei and Yamakawa Daizo. These two were celebrities of the Aizu Domain, and they were all registered in the Meiji government, and they were originally going to develop the Dounan Domain, the land of distribution, and then integrate into the Meiji government. However, because Asano was born in the relationship of the Nihonmatsu Domain, the Aizu Domain and Northern Manchukuo also had a lot of involvement, and during the Aizu War, Northern Manchukuo also helped the Aizu Domain, which was the biggest help of the Aizu Domain in those difficult years. Therefore, after Matsudaira Rongbao surrendered in humiliation, he ordered some talented people of the Aizu domain to surrender to Northern Manchuria, in order to seek revenge in the future. Therefore, Sagawa and Yamakawa brought six or seven hundred people and put them under Asano's command, and they were the most active in sending troops to Japan this time.
In addition to the remnants of the old shogunate and Aizu domain, there were several more prominent people in the Rikami Brigade, and even Koko Adu came to meet these legendary figures. No matter how famous Tachimi and others are, they are just politicians, and naturally there are not many places to reflect them. And these outliers are very different, they are chivalrous, and the literature about them is all over the world. These people who even had to watch Kokoa were Saito, Nagakura Shinhachi and others, they all had a common identity, they were all members of the Shinsengumi, and Saito was one of the people who took the battle of Ikedaya.
These people were not familiar with the military system of Be-Manchuria, and their command level was greatly limited. But they also have their own advantages, not to mention the people of the Shinsengumi, and the others are also strong in swordsmanship, and they are extremely capable of fighting with white blades. If Yasuke Oyama in the castle knew the origin of the Shinsenkaku, he would definitely lament a retribution, and these people from the Aizu Domain had come to take revenge.
"Great revenge! If you don't want to put down the task in your hand, let's help Captain Takmi command this newly selected team! "Tong Jia has done a good job of supporting Wang Daqiu, he doesn't understand the language, Tong Jia can stop for at least ten days!
