Chapter 224: The New Year's Drama of 1940 (6)

"Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Yamaguchi Brigade has just telegraphed that the Brigade Headquarters has arrived at Jiajiaying, and has encountered desperate resistance from the Chinese army a kilometer away from Jiajiaying Village. The Chinese have built more than 10 improvised pillboxes and more than 20 firepower points on the periphery of Jiajiaying, and Yamaguchi Shaosa is organizing troops to launch an attack on the positions of the Chinese people, and asks His Excellency the brigade commander to show you? "Sergeant Oguron once again reported the whereabouts of the Yamaguchi Brigade to Major General Noboru Kunisaki, who was on the march.

Although Major General Kunisaki Noboru was surprised that the squadron did not destroy the road along the road, after all, this was the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and a trick that worked, but along the way, the Yamaguchi Brigade successfully arrived at Jiajiaying has proved that the road between the road from the road now to Jiajiaying is still relatively safe, even if the squadron has a plan, but that can only be implemented after Jiajiaying, so Major General Kunisaki Noboru thought for a while and then ordered: "Xiaolu, send a report to Yamaguchi and let his brigade attack immediately, Let's just say that the brigade headquarters will arrive soon. ”

After giving the order, Major General Noboru Kunisaki asked the lieutenant of the C-O column tank to stop the car, and then stood up and got out of the tank, and the other tanks saw that the tank of His Excellency the Brigade Commander had stopped, and all the officers immediately got out of the car and came to the side of Major General Noboru Kunisaki, waiting for the instructions of His Excellency the Brigade Commander.

Major General Kunizaki Noboru looked at the captain of the chariot brigade, Takeda Nakasa, and said: "Takeda, you are the best commander of the chariot division, and now there is a group of Shina farmers with rudimentary weapons in front of you who are blocking the wheels of our Imperial Japanese chariot, and they want to brave some rudimentary weapons and equipment against our holy war, now I order your chariot brigade to set off immediately, rush to Jiajiaying and crush all those damn Shina peasants to death, can you do it?" ”

"Hai, report to Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, humble duty will never disappoint the expectations of His Excellency the Brigade Commander, and be loyal to the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, the Great Japanese Empire Takamaki (Banzai) His Majesty the Emperor Yamazai (Banzai)" After speaking, Takeda Nakasa bowed respectfully to Major General Noboru Kunizaki, then turned around and got into the car and rushed in the direction of Jiajiaying.

Looking at the chariots in the distance, Major General Noboru Kunisaki had an indescribable envy, speaking of infantry and cavalry, and even the current charioteers, in fact, the status of infantry has always been very low. Especially for a coastal defense country like Japan, which is surrounded by the sea, the sea is actually their natural barrier. However, the more such a country has, the more it must develop other arms other than the army, and in the last century, Japan tightened its K-belt to develop its navy. Both the common people and the emperor threw gold and silver at the navy like crazy, because the reality of the Qing Dynasty, which had been a powerful neighbor for thousands of years, was bullied by the Western powers, which greatly stabbed the Japanese, forcing Japan to develop a navy to protect itself.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan received 230 million taels of silver in war reparations (of which 30 million taels were ransom fees), and since then the Japanese navy has become larger, and large warships have placed orders to Western countries one by one. Since the development of the navy, it has been competing with the army for funds, and the annual military budget meeting is a meeting between the army and the navy to compete for military spending, and the heads of the Japanese army, from the emperor to the military department, have an unusual preference for the navy, so every competition is a history of blood and tears for the army.

At the beginning, the infantry and cavalry competed for funds, and then the base camp included the chariot unit in an important position in the development, so there was another charioteer soldier in the list of those who competed for funds. From the beginning to the end, the Japanese army, especially the infantry in the army, was the target of the beating, and it is no wonder that Major General Kunizaki Noboru envied a chariot Nakasa.

And the strong combat effectiveness of the tank is also one of the reasons for the envy of Major General Kunisaki Noboru, who is one of the senior officers of the Japanese army who participated in the attack on Nanjing City, so he has an extremely clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the tank unit, maybe one or two tanks do not have much impact on the entire battlefield, at best, one or two more mobile turrets.

However, once the number of chariots exceeds ten, the combat effectiveness displayed by them is far from what ordinary people can imagine. With the cooperation of the air force, it would be easy for a tank brigade to break through the defense line formed by a division. A chariot division can destroy the defensive line composed of ten infantry divisions and regiments, and the strength of infantry and charioteers doubles as the number of chariots increases, so each charioteer is far higher than an infantryman.

Major General Kunizaki Noboru shook his head and put aside some emotion in his mind, and then said to several senior officers who rushed over: "Gentlemen, it seems that the people of China are planning to fight a decisive battle with our Imperial Japanese Army in Jiajiaying, according to the news from the troops on the front line, there are about 10,000 people from the China side, and they are also equipped with a large number of automatic firepower and some artillery, but no chariot troops of the people of China have been found. But I don't need to introduce the horror of the troops led by that devil Han, so we must fight this battle well, and His Excellency the division commander is behind us, if the recruits of the 38th Division are snatched in front of us, it will not only be the face of the brigade that we have lost, but the entire Fifth Division will also become a laughing stock in the imperial army. Gentlemen, Kunisaki is here, please everyone" After speaking, Major General Kunisaki Noboru bowed deeply to all the officers.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, please rest assured, as long as the Chinese army dares to appear in front of our 9th Brigade, our 11th Wing will definitely tear them to pieces."

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, our 41st Wing is the Jīng British team that participated in the Battle of Xinkou, and Han Yunhua's department is nothing, I believe that as long as our 41st Wing fights, they will definitely be driven back to Saibei, please rest assured"

Listening to the bold words of these wing commanders, Major General Noboru Kunizaki felt much more at ease, although he didn't think much of the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region in his heart, but many Japanese divisions and regiments were destroyed by Han Yunhua's subordinates, and even several divisions and brigades were directly erased from the battle sequence of the Chinese army, so Major General Kunizaki Noboru had mixed feelings about Han Yunhua's subordinates.

"Open the way" eased the uncalm thoughts in his heart, and Major General Noboru Kunisaki gave the order to move forward in a loud voice.

It is said that Takeda Nakasa led the chariot brigade to quickly bump on the rural dirt road to Jiajiaying, and the reason why it is called a bump rather than a gallop is entirely because the difference between the Chinese jiāo pass at this time is simply unimaginable, and the x-ng energy of the Japanese chariot at this time is also enough garbage. It was barely okay on a flat road, and once it entered the vast rural march of China, the speed of the chariot was simply not comparable to that of a war horse, and the huge bumps were enough for an untrained soldier to turn into a pregnant woman two or three months pregnant in a day.

Takeda Nakasa has just been transferred from the wing commander of the cavalry wing to a brigade commander of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Tank Division this year. As a new type of military force that has just emerged in the Japanese army, the combat vehicle unit has made every military commander salivate for its powerful firepower and assault power. Many people would rather exchange a real power infantry wing captain for the captain of a chariot brigade, and he, the former wing captain of the cavalry wing, can also be transferred to the chariot division as the captain of this real power brigade, which makes Takeda Nakasa very satisfied with his current status, and this time the expedition to Saibei is simply the easiest in Takeda Nakasa's opinion, this is completely the division commander His Excellency is making meritorious contributions to the entire chariot division.
