Lieutenant General Lin Mian Shilang was pained to learn the news of the annihilation of the 20th Division, this is his subordinate, and the entire division is gone, do you say that as the commander of the Japanese army in Korea, Lin Mian Shilang can't help but hate the volunteers?

The Northern Resistance announced the destruction of the 20th Division, although the Japanese army did not confirm it conclusively, and would not easily believe what the Northern Anti-Japanese Army said.

Nima, when I was the First Division of the Imperial Japanese Empire, were they all paper paste troops?

However, it is an indisputable fact that the 20th Division lost contact. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, how the 20th Division was wiped out by the Volunteers has become a mystery, and the Volunteers do not report on the specific combat methods.

The Japanese military headquarters has decided to send an investigation team from the mainland to Mukden to investigate the cause of the demise of the 20th Division, and they will march north along the offensive route of the 20th Division and study the combat strategy of the volunteers.

In view of the huge losses of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese War Department transferred the 14th Division, the 8th Division, the 6th Division, half of the 7th Division, and the cavalry group to the Kwantung Army, and the Kwantung Army was unprecedentedly strong for a time.

Unwilling to accept the annihilation of the 20th Division by the Volunteers, Lieutenant General Hayashi Mijuro vowed revenge and ordered the 14th Division, which had just entered the Kwantung Army sequence, to pursue it north. At the same time, he also ordered the Sixth Division, which had just landed on the Korean Peninsula, to speed up its advance and strengthen its forces to attack the anti-Japanese army in the north.

In the past, the Japanese War Department never paid attention to the Northern Anti-Japanese Army, and the reason was that the Northern Anti-Japanese Army was a spontaneous resistance force, even if they eliminated the Second Division, so what?

The War Department analyzed the reasons for the defeat of the 2nd Division, which was nothing more than the dispersion of the 2nd Division, which was broken by the resistance forces. There is another reason, the resistance forces rely on Mukden's powerful weapons reserves, and in terms of firepower, they are indeed much stronger than the 2nd Division

The 6th Division, also known as the Kumamoto Division, was commanded by Lieutenant General Masaemon Sakamoto and was one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II, codenamed "Ming". Together with the Second Division (Sendai), they are known as the two strongest and most effective units in the Japanese Army: they participated in the Nanjing Massacre during the Japanese War of Aggression against China.

The division is organized into a four-unit system, that is, the division has two brigades under its jurisdiction, and two infantry wings under the brigade and regiment, and the infantry wing has three infantry brigades, four infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron (eight heavy machine guns), one artillery squadron (two 70mm infantry guns), three infantry squadrons under the infantry squadron, one machine gun group (two light machine guns), one grenadier group (two grenadiers) and two rifle groups. The division also has an artillery wing, a baggage wing, an engineer wing, a cavalry company (four cavalry squadrons and a machine gun squadron), and other units.

At this time, the Japanese army divisions were divided into two types, one was the pack horse system, the artillery wing had four brigades (36 75mm mountain guns and 12 75mm field guns), and the infantry wing had one artillery squadron (four mountain guns) and one infantry artillery squadron (four infantry guns), with a total establishment of 28,500 people.

The first is the horse-drawn system, the artillery wing has 36 field guns and 12 120mm howitzers, and the infantry wing has a wing artillery squadron and a rapid-fire artillery squadron (four 37mm rapid-fire guns), with a total number of 25,000 people.

Historically, the 6th Division was the famous Beast Division, and everywhere it went, it was bound to be accompanied by killing, looting, and forcible action.

Because of the division's notoriety, Chinese women fled everywhere they went, from the age of 8 to 80.

Even Gangcun Ningci couldn't help it, and finally in order to solve the crotch of these bears themselves, he created the so-called comfort system, trying to put an end to the phenomenon of strong thousands with chicken girls in the army.

But while the 6th Division was fighting with the chicken girl, it was still strong and cheap everywhere.

Even when he finally entered Wuhan, even the then division commander Shiro Inaba himself told Gangcun that the army had a bad reputation, and many soldiers in the army still had the crime of being strong and cheap, and they could not be allowed to enter the city casually to hinder the empire's rule and occupation area.

In addition to Qiang Qian, the 6th Division is also a troop that loves to slaughter, killing people everywhere it goes. During the Nanjing Massacre, some photos of the atrocities of the Japanese army were leaked and published in major media around the world, which eventually led to the removal of Gu Shoufu.

During the Battle of Wuhan, the 6th Division left behind the corpses of Chinese peasants everywhere it went.

Whether it was the First Sino-Japanese War or the Russo-Japanese War, the 6th Division always played the vanguard and set foot on the Chinese battlefield six times.

The 14th Division, one of Japan's 17 standing divisions before World War II.

At the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, in order to strengthen the front-line forces, the Japanese Army formed four new divisions, the 14th Division was one of them, formed in Kokura, Fukuoka Prefecture on June 13, under the jurisdiction of the 53rd Infantry Wing of Osaka, the 54th Infantry Wing of Zentsuji, the 55th Infantry Wing of Hiroshima, and the 56th Infantry Wing of Kumamoto.

This time the 14th Division stepped into Chinese territory and seemed to be a little different, as soon as it stepped out of the coastal zone, it noticed an anomaly.

The 14th Division left Anton and marched north, but after not going far, it found that it was becoming less and less populated, and soon entered an uninhabited land.

At the beginning, the division commander, Lieutenant General Naori Matsuki, didn't pay much attention to it, and didn't believe that he couldn't see anyone in front of him.

But things were strange, the 14th Division walked for most of the day and didn't see a single person.

At this moment, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoliang, felt that something was wrong, and no one told him when he left.

If a person walks in the downtown area and does not feel anything, it is not lonely to watch the scenery while walking.

But if you walk in the wilderness, especially in an uninhabited place, you must be in a very bad mood, and it will also breed uneasiness.

The 14th Division walked on the wilderness and felt that they were the only ones left on this earth, where did the earthlings go?

On the first day of the march was not bad, but on the second day the situation was not very good, and the whole army felt a little weak and demoralized.

None of the villages encountered along the way were inhabitable, and the houses were basically pushed to the ground or burned down, which meant that the 14th Division had to sleep in the wilderness along the way.

Camping on this cold day is really hard, the 14th Division from the division commander Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoliang down to the soldiers all feel very awkward, want to find someone Huo Huo can not find it, there is no place to trouble the heart is really uncomfortable.

There is no place to rob, not to mention doing something you want to do, the key is that there are no women, it is difficult to vent.

The division commander, Lieutenant General Naoaki Matsuki, was thinking about the war, and at this point realized that the problem was a bit serious.

If this continues, logistical support will become a problem.

If the logistics can't keep up with the war, how can such a war be fought?

The 14th Division itself carried no problem with supplies for a day, two days, or even a week, but the distance ahead was unknown, and no one knew where it would encounter the resistance.

I don't know where the war will break out, and the time is even more difficult to grasp, so you can't carry a month's or even several months' worth of food and ammunition on your back, right?

Besides, marching with a heavy army is no faster than marching lightly.

After some deliberation, the division commander, Lieutenant General Naoliang Matsuki, sent a telegram to the Kwantung Army Command Hayashi Mijuro suggesting that supply depots be set up along the way.

The suggestion of the division commander, Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoryōro, was approved by Hayashi Mijuro, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoryō, was ordered to set up supply depots along the route at suitable locations to support front-line operations.

When the 14th Division reached Nanfen, the division commander, Lieutenant General Naoaki Matsuki, ordered the baggage wing to set up a small supply depot in the area.

The baggage wing of the permanent division was equipped with 3,461 personnel and 2,612 horses, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoryō, ordered the baggage team to leave about 500 people to live here so that they could receive supplies in front and behind.

When the 14th Division walked to Mukden, it saw that Mukden was in ruins, and Mukden no longer existed.

Obviously, the southern part of Fengtian City was once a battlefield, and there are still a considerable number of Japanese soldiers with severed limbs and arms at the scene, and the death is very miserable, and the corpses have been gnawed by wild beasts, which is disgusting.

There were also the bodies of Japanese soldiers in the ruins inside the city, which was similar to the situation outside the city, and there were hardly a single corpse.

This situation extended to the northern outskirts of the city, and outside the northern part of Mukden City, the corpses of Japanese soldiers could be seen everywhere.

According to the clues left at the scene, the division commander, Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoryō, analyzed and came to the conclusion that the 20th Division of the Imperial Army had a large-scale war with the resistance forces in Mukden City, and the battle situation was quite tragic.

Obviously, the 20th Division was pursuing the resistance to the north, as can be seen from the corpses of Japanese troops left at the scene.

Although the Volunteers threatened to wipe out the 20th Division, the Japanese top brass still did not believe it to be true.

However, the 20th Division has no information and has lost contact.

And Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoaki's discovery this time is very valuable, at least it is not enough to conclude that the 20th Division has perished.

What Lieutenant General Naoliang Matsuki, commander of the 14th Division, did not know was that the current situation around Mukden was an illusion carefully arranged by Wang Tiehan, commander of the Second Brigade of the Northern Anti-Japanese Army, in accordance with Fengtian's instructions after destroying the 20th Division of the Japanese Army.

The commander of the 14th Division, Lieutenant General Naoliang Matsuki, could only judge from the situation at the scene that Mukden was a battlefield from the south of the city to the north of the city, and the 20th Division pursued the northern anti-Japanese army to the north.

The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Naoliang Matsuki, also did not believe that the 20th Division would be easily wiped out by the enemy, and from the intelligence analysis obtained by the Japanese army, the Mukden resistance force did not have a large army.

Therefore, this is the sinister intention of Feng Tian, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Anti-Japanese Army.

As for what the Japanese think, let it be.

Therefore, the whereabouts of the 20th Division have become a mystery, and it is really impossible to judge.

The retreat of the resistance to the north has been confirmed, and the pursuit of the 20th Division to the north is also obvious, so why can't the 20th Division be contacted?

Could it be that the communication equipment is damaged?

I'm afraid this is also not right, a division of the army will not have only one piece of equipment, which is a bit puzzling.

The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Naoliang Matsuki, thought about it and could not come to a conclusion, and the survival of the 20th Division became a mystery.

The division commander, Lieutenant General Naoaki Matsuki, who could not get an answer, had no choice but to report the situation here to the Kwantung Army Command and let them bother with it.

The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Naoliang Matsuki, of course, knew that the 14th Division was attacking Mukden, but there was no Mukden here. Then continue north and look for the Twentieth Division.

Lieutenant General Naori Matsuki didn't waste brain cells on this issue, and after Mukden, he set up a supply station.

This guy is very careful, because there will be troops going north in the future, and with the support of the supply depot, the front-line battle will continue in an orderly manner.

A volunteer army cobbled together by a chaotic army really didn't put it in the heart of the division commander, Lieutenant General Matsuki Naoliang.

In this battle, the division commander, Lieutenant General Naoaki Matsuki, was very confident.
