The Battle of Ludong completely shocked the Japanese army.
Tada Jun did not have the concept that the Eighth Route Army could use artillery fire to destroy the 1st Division of the Japanese Tank. In his mind, after the 1st Chariot Division was launched, it was a torrent of steel, and everywhere it passed, it was indestructible. Liu Yimin's main force is that no matter how good the equipment and combat effectiveness are, it is impossible to do anything with the steel torrent. Therefore, after receiving the report that the 1st Tank Division was annihilated by the Eighth Route Army and that the fighters providing air fire cover for the 1st Tank Division were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, Tada Jun did not hold it up in one breath and fainted directly on the desk.
When the military doctor woke up Tada Jun, the report of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Changle, Weicheng, and Gaomi also arrived. Tada Jun knew that the 32nd Division was over, and Li Wenli's Ludong and Pingjian** were also finished, so he immediately ordered the Japanese army east of Gaomi to mix into the 18th Brigade and the Jiaoji Road Garrison to withdraw to Qingdao as quickly as possible, join up with the 7th Division, and rely on the existing defense line in the Qingdao area to defend it to the death; ordered the 36th Division and the puppet army troops stationed in the vicinity of Zhoucun to withdraw to Zhangqiu, and join the 12th Division and the 17th Brigade to defend Jinan; ordered the 2nd Division, the 2nd Chariot Division, the Manchurian Advance Army, and the 9th Division, the 27th Division, and the 3rd Chariot Division in Lunan to launch a night attack to defeat the Eighth Route Army in front of him, forcing Liu Yimin to come back to the rescue, and covering the transfer of troops in Ludong and Luzhong; The 29th Division of Jiaodong was ordered to command the Jiaodong puppet army to carry out a sweeping operation overnight, and after completing the task, urgently gather the troops, concentrate on Yantai and Weihai, and be ready to withdraw to Changshan Island or Qingdao at any time.
In a hurry, Tada Jun couldn't care about the Eighth Route Army's ability to fight at night, he was afraid that his movements would be slow, so he would let the Eighth Route Army catch up and then encircle and annihilate the 36th Division of Zhoucun or the 18th Brigade and the 7th Division of Jiaozhou, so that the entire defenders along the Jiaoji Road would be finished.
As soon as the order was issued here, bad news came again from the northwest of Shandong, the Eighth Route Army of Luxi and the Eighth Route Army of Hebei and Shandong attacked the Jinpu Road Plain, the railway and highway defense lines between Yucheng and the east and west, and the Eighth Route Army used powerful artillery fire and attacked fiercely.
At this time, Tada Jun realized that his public order and rectification operation was a complete failure. Not to mention Liu Yimin's strength in central and southern Lu, even the Eighth Route Army in Luxi and Hebei is still so strong, which is equivalent to the results of the sweep.
At this time, Tada Jun had become a gambling stick with red eyes, he had no capital, and he had no choice but to order the 41st Division stationed in Dezhou to form the 19th, 20th, and 21st Brigades and Regiments of the 19th, 20th, and 21st Brigades and the Imperial Allied Army, and resolutely repelled the attack of the Eighth Route Army.
After Tada Jun gave the order, the chief of staff, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, said gloomily: "Your Excellency, Commander, Liu Yimin is too rampant, and the general tactical means are no longer useful to him. Is it possible to consider using the special combat means of the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply of the Front Army? β
Tada Jun paused for a moment, and there was no squeak for a long time.
This time, Deputy Chief of Staff Hirata Masashi and Chief of Staff Yoshizumi Ryosuke urinated into a pot, and said viciously: "There is no need to have any scruples about dealing with the extremely vicious Liu Yimin. The blood of the Great Japanese warriors cannot be shed in vain, and Liu Yimin must be made to pay a heavy price! β
The commander of the Japanese Third Flying Group, Kinoshita, who rushed to the headquarters of the North China Front, was afraid that Tada Jun would not be able to make up his mind, so he saluted Tada Jun with a "snap" and reported loudly: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Liu Yimin and his troops are a stumbling block on the way forward of the Great Japanese Empire and a cancer of public security in North China. If there are special tactical means that are not used, does Your Excellency the Commander want to see the 7th Division and the 36th Division all shattered? β
Yoshioka, director of the North China Front's Special Service, also said gloomily: "The base camp has already approved the 13th Army to adopt special tactics in Quzhou, Ningbo, and other cities along the Zhejiang route in July, and it should be implemented now." If Your Excellency the Commander hesitates any longer, the North China Front will fall behind the 13th Army and will only become the laughing stock of the world. β
The special tactical means mentioned by Yoshizumi Ryosuke and others refer to bacteriological warfare. It is a criminal means of using bacteria or viruses as weapons to poison people, animals and crops and cause artificial plagues.
The first bacteriological warfare in human history, and the largest casualty to date, was between the winter of 1345 and 1346, when the Mongol army attacked the Black Sea port city of Kaffa, they used a stone thrower to throw the corpses of people who died of plague into the city, causing a plague epidemic, which plagued Europe for three centuries and claimed more than 25 million lives.
Bacteriological weapons were used by Germany in World War I. In June 1925, after the war, the Protocol on the Prohibition of Poison Gas or Similar Drugs and Bacteriological Methods was signed in Geneva, Switzerland, which explicitly prohibited the use of bacteriological weapons.
The little devils have never paid attention to international conventions and have been developing poison gas bombs and bacteriological weapons on a large scale. Among them, poison gas bombs are mainly used in chemical warfare. All units of the Japanese invasion of China were equipped with chemical warfare units, equipped with 150-mm chemical mortars, Type 94 90-mm mortars, 30-kilogram poison gas cylinders, 160-millimeter poison gas projectile guns, poison trucks, poison carts, poison carts, poison carts, and so on. Since the Lugou Bridge Incident was provoked, the Japanese army has used poison gas bombs to carry out chemical warfare as a magic weapon for victory, and it has been used in almost every major war. Often, as soon as the Japanese army uses poison gas bombs, it can make the defenders lose their combat effectiveness and turn defeat into victory on the battlefield. However, the firing of poison gas bombs was greatly affected by weather factors, and the wind direction was not right, and it often countered the Japanese attacking troops.
The Japanese army's tactics of using special cigarettes and conducting chemical warfare did not work against the Shandong Eighth Route Army. The reason is that as early as the Red Seventh Army stationed in Shaanxi, Liu Yimin carried out anti-poison gas education and training for the troops, and after going north to resist Japan, he won successive battles, and every major battle was carried forward to fight quickly, and the little devils rarely had the opportunity to use poison gas on the Shandong Eighth Route Army. In addition, a large number of poison gas bombs and gas masks were captured, and our army in Shandong was not only not afraid of the Japanese army's gas bombs, but on the contrary, the special forces of the Eighth Route Army also used poison gas bombs against the Japanese army many times.
Now, Ryosuke Yoshizumi and others have sacrificed another magic weapon: bacteriological warfare.
The originator of bacteriological warfare in the Japanese invasion of China was Shiro Ishii.
Born on June 25, 1892 in Chiyotamura, Yamamu County, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, Shiro Ishii, a cannibal demon was an "army madman military doctor" with the dual titles of doctor of medicine from Imperial University and lieutenant general of the army.
While other medical doctors studied curing diseases and saving people, Shiro Ishii was interested in developing bacteria and fighting bacteriological warfare.
Historically, after Japan's surrender, Shiro Ishii used the data of his bacteriological killing method to kill human life and U.S. President Harry S. Truman to make a conspiracy deal to escape the trial of the war tribunal and live peacefully until October 9, 1959.
In 1927, when the infamous "Tanaka Soto" was released, Shiro Ishii, who was still a military doctor and lieutenant at the time, offered a proposal: "Japan, which lacks resources, can only rely on the support of bacteriological warfare if it wants to win." β
Shiro Ishii's suggestion was supported by the Japanese military department, and he was sent abroad as the best officer of the army.
After returning to Japan in 1930, Ishii reported to the General Staff Headquarters, "I believe that the development of bacteriological weapons is urgent, and a delay of one day will surely cause Japan to be resentful." The reason is that "germ warfare undoubtedly has a special possibility, otherwise the United Nations would not have banned it."
Shiro Ishii, who was determined to develop bacteriological warfare, was supported by Japanese militarist politicians. Sadao Araki, the Minister of War at the time, married his daughter to him, and Koizumi Hitohiko, the father of chemical warfare in Japan, campaigned for it. Shiro Ishii is a famous pervert and drunkard, and he has repeatedly violated military discipline, and he has even been sent to prison several times, all because of the rescue of Nagata Tetsuyama and others, so that he not only failed to receive punishment but rose step by step. Soon, the General Staff Headquarters promoted Shiro Ishii to the rank of Army Lieutenant, and established the Bacteriological Warfare Research Laboratory (known as the Epidemic Prevention Research Laboratory to the outside world) at the Army Medical School, proposing to "meet Shiro Ishii's needs with material and prestige."
After the establishment of the Bacteriological Warfare Research Laboratory, Shiro Ishii presided over the development of the Ishii-type bacteriological incubator and produced the bacteriological warfare agent. The Japanese army began to set up the "Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department" as the organizational structure of the bacteriological warfare force.
After the 918 Incident, Shiro Ishii took his demons to the Northeast and began the actual combat test of bacteriological warfare.
At this time, the invading Japanese army had already established four bacteriological warfare units, forming a complete bacteriological warfare system:
1. The 731st Unit of the Kwantung Army, the full name of which is the 731st Unit of Manchuria (known as the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Force). Unit 731 is headquartered in Pingfang District, a suburb of Harbin in northeastern China, and is disguised as a water purification unit. Troop Commander Shiro Ishii.
Unit 731 is a secret military medical unit engaged in biological warfare bacteriological warfare research and human experiment-related research of the Japanese invasion of China, and its predecessor was the Dongxiang Unit established by Shiro Ishii in 1932 in the Beiyin River on the outskirts of Harbin in northeastern China. In 1932, Shiro Ishii led his troops to build Zhongma City, a prison on the outskirts of Harbin. A prison riot in 1935 forced Ishii to close the city. Shijing re-established a new facility in the Pingfang area, closer to Harbin, and established a bacteriological experimental base in Sunwu County, Heihe, including 300 buildings such as animal breeding and sterilization rooms. Unit 731 originally had a capacity of 2,000 people, but in October 1939, Shiro Ishii, who had made a contribution to the use of bacteriological warfare in the Battle of Normenhan, expanded the staff of Unit 731 to 2,600. In addition to the headquarters, Unit 731 also has a branch unit subordinate to the Kwantung Army, Unit 100, which is another base camp of the Kwantung Army for manufacturing bacteriological weapons in Northeast China. Unit 100 is stationed in Mengjiatun, a suburb of Changchun City, Jilin Province, and is headed by Lieutenant General Takahashi Takahashi and Major General Matsuyujiro Veterinarian. The Kwantung Army Temporary Sick Horse Shelter, the predecessor of Unit 100, was established in Shenyang in 1931. In 1933, the Sick Horse Shelter was moved to Changchun. In 1936, the Kwantung Army officially established the "100 Troops", known as the "Kwantung Army Military Horse Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department". Despite its name, Unit 100 was in fact researching bacteriological weapons against animals, plants, and humans and animals - metreosis, anthrax, rinderpest, and mottle disease - which were identified as the main offensive weapons. 2. Unit 1855 in North China is also a branch of Unit 731.
The headquarters of the 1855 unit is located in the West Gate Kagura Department of the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing, the former Central Epidemic Prevention Department of the Kuomintang, known as the North China Dispatch Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, and later the 151st Military Station Hospital. The 1855 unit had a capacity of 1,500 people, and the commander of the unit was Major General Heijiang at the beginning, and in October 1939, it was changed to Lieutenant General Eiji Nishimura, and the unit number was "Beiping A No. 1855 Unit", and a large number of buildings were built in Beiping, including 7 wards, more than 100 studios, more than 70 small animal rooms and 192 square meters of underground cold storage for storing various highly toxic strains.
The backbone of the 731 bacteriological unit has arrived in this unit, and Shiro Ishii is among them. As the commander of the notorious 731 bacteriological unit, Shiro Ishii held the position of technical director of the "Beiping A Unit 1855". 3. The 1644th unit of Central China (Rongzi), with its headquarters located in the former Nanjing Army Central Hospital on Zhongshan East Road, Nanjing, is known as the Central China Dispatch Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, also known as the "Tama Force". The Bacteriological Weapons Research Institute is located in the building of the former Central Sanitary Laboratory behind the building of the former Central Army General Hospital. The quota is 1,500 people, the commander of the unit is Takeo Tachida Nakasa, the deputy commander and head of the research section is Kenji Kobayashi Shosa, and there are 7 divisions under it, and 12 detachments are stationed in Shanghai, Nanjing, Yueyang, Jingmen, Yichang and other places. Fourth, (Bozi) 8604 troops, the headquarters is located in the former Baizi Road in Guangzhou, Sun Yat-sen University School of Medicine, known as the South China Dispatch Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, the commander of the unit Tanaka Yan Dazuo, under the 6 sections, the quota of 1,200 professionals, and in dozens of cities in Central, South and North China set up detachments, engaged in various bacteriological research, infectious disease research, plague culture and disease (vivisection) dissection.
Tada Jun was very clear about the Japanese army's bacteriological troops participating in the Battle of Normenhan, and it was clear that the Japanese army base camp had approved the use of bacteriological tactics in the first-tier cities of Zhejiang. As a matter of fact, as early as August 1938, the North China Front had already launched bacteriological warfare by releasing a large number of cholera, typhoid fever and other germs into wells in important villages and towns, causing a large number of civilian casualties. It's just that at that time, the Japanese army carried out bacteriological warfare by poisoning wells. Now, Tada Jun thinks even more viciously, he wants to eliminate the main force of the Shandong Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop by dropping bacteriological bombs from airplanes.
Tada Jun's face was cloudy, his eyes swept over the faces of Yoshizumi Ryosuke, Hirata Masaki, Kinoshita Toshita, Yoshioka and others, and it took a long time to say: "Yoshizumi-kun, urgently report to the base camp that the 32nd Division and the 1st Chariot Division are in a broken state, and the North China Public Security and Suppression Operation has encountered an unprecedented crisis, and I request that a large-scale bacteriological warfare be carried out against Liu Yimin's department." Lieutenant General Eiji Nishimura and Lieutenant General Shiro Ishii were invited to study specific plans. The air force made preparations, dispatched planes, and dropped bacteriological bombs. This time, I'm going to let Liu Yimin and his troops all die! β
