Chapter Twenty-Seven: The arrogance of Lieutenant General Cheng Cheng 1 in the division and regiment

Everywhere the 18th Division went, it was constantly burning, killing, looting, raping, and plundering; In short, all the worst and worst things that human beings can imagine were carried out by the Japanese army division and regiment without the slightest discipline.

Moreover, one of the culprits of the famous Nanjing Massacre was driven by the 18th Division of the Japanese Army......

When platoon commander Chen Jilong decided to temporarily follow Wang Changgui, the headquarters of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was inside.

Lieutenant General Na Na Seiichi of the 18th Division was staring at the huge military map on the wall with his cold, wolf-sharp black eyes.

This is a high-definition map of the Guangzhou operation, on which the strategic intentions of the Japanese base camp are marked.

Originally, according to the original history, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army first landed on the left side of Daya Bay and in the area of Shrimp Chung on the front, and the Sichuan detachment landed on the back of Yanzao; The 104th Division landed at the glass factory on the right side of Daya Bay, and the 1st Division of the 18th Division landed at the head of Ao West of Sao Chung, and then attacked Tamsui.

Then another part of the Japanese 18th Division landed and advanced towards Huizhou; On the 13th, Pingshan was captured; On the 14th, it occupied Hengli and advanced to the southern suburbs of Huiyang. After landing, the 104th Division occupied Pinghai on the 12th, and occupied Nimshan and Jilong on the 13th; Arrived south of Huizhou and followed the 18th Division to advance.

On the evening of the 14th, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on Huizhou with superior forces; On the 15th, Huizhou fell. On the 16th, after the Japanese captured Boluo, the main force broke through to Zengcheng, and the Hechuan detachment made a big detour from Huizhou to Guangzhou.

But now I don't know if it was because of Wang Changgui's crossing, and the Japanese 18th Division was desperately fought by the Cantonese army, and it was temporarily delayed in the Zengcheng area; It was not repulsed by the Japanese army as in the original history, and the occupation was as fast as it was.

"Report! Division Commander! The troops of the Cantonese Army against us, I don't know why the reinforcements of the 63rd Army and the 922nd Regiment of the 462nd Brigade of the General Reserve were suddenly added! ”

"These two units are working with the 186th Division of the Cantonese Army, and the 20th Independent Brigade; As well as the 1st and 2nd separate regiments, which are blocking the offensive of the wings of our 18th Division! ”

"Their current redeployment is probably the result of the main force of the 186th Division guarding Zengcheng and the Luofu Mountain area, the 158th Division guarding Lianhewei to the west of Zengcheng, the 154th Division guarding Zhucun and Zhongxin to the east of Zengcheng, and the 20th Independent Brigade and the 1st and 2nd Independent Regiments guarding the north of Zengcheng."

"And according to the reports of our spies and those traitors, the armored troops of the Guangdong army are also coming to Zengcheng!"

When Lieutenant General Nagano Seiichi of the 18th Division was looking at the battle map, Umezu Kuichiro, chief of staff, rushed into the headquarters and anxiously reported to Lieutenant General Nagano Seiichi of the division.

"Humph! So what? A mere branch of the ragtag army, vulnerable to a single attack; Don't worry too much! Don't forget, our 18th Division has more than 30,000 troops to attack Guangzhou this time; Moreover, our 21st Army Commander Guzhuang Ganlang has also transferred more than 20,000 troops of the 104th Division to this place. ”

"Finally, we still have the strength of the 5th Division, which has also attacked Dongguan through Zhangmutou! So we really don't have to worry about the deployment of the Cantonese army at all! ”

"You know, we have more than 70,000 troops, and we still have aviation; and tank groups, as well as plenty of artillery to assist in the battle! ”

"So we will definitely be able to occupy Zengcheng in a short period of time! Then our next goal is to divide our troops into two ways to march, one way to attack Conghua, and the other way to the city of Guangzhou! ”

Lieutenant General Na Na Cheng Ichi of the division took his eyes off the military map a little and glanced at the other side; He waved his hand lightly, and replied with disdain.

"Hello! I agree with the division commander! Our 18th Division is invincible and brave! However, in the battle tonight, the Cantonese troops were very brave and stubbornly resisted our attack for some reason; This is completely opposite to their combat style in Huizhou, Huiyang and other places! ”

The chief of staff, Umezu Kuichiro, immediately nodded and responded cautiously.

"Hahaha! They're killing themselves! What stubborn resistance, what brave fighting? Under the planes, tanks and artillery of the Imperial Japanese Army led by my Kunakoi Seiichi; Our invincible iron army can definitely easily pinch all these miscellaneous armies to death, as simple and easy as pinching a bunch of ants. ”

After listening to this, Lieutenant General Na Chengyi of the division was arrogant and arrogant, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In this regard, the chief of staff, Umezu Kuichiro, did not know what to say for a while; So he nodded desperately and echoed the other party's arrogant boasting; And from time to time he said a few flattering words, touting the division and regiment to accept the first lieutenant general.

Regarding the performance of Chief of Staff Umezu Kuichiro, Lieutenant General Nagashi Seiichi of the division also became more and more satisfied with it, and the more he talked about it, the more excited he became.
