608: Future marshals and generals are used as death squads
Oshima Yoshimasa's recent state is very bad, first physical problems, and then encountered the general attack of the Chinese, all kinds of moves come again, people are unable to guard, and seeing that the Japanese army is no longer able to parry, now turn an eye to take a look, their retreat seems to have been blocked by them.

And while Yoshimasa Oshima is depressed, the good news is not completely absent.
"Your Excellency, good news." A staff officer hurried into the headquarters, this news was when he ran to deliver the order, he happened to see the herald who would come to report the news, he learned from the herald, and just about to turn back, he saw the herald who came back from the dock, and got another good news.
And the Japanese army, which had just suffered a heavy blow, instantly ushered in two good news, which can be described as an endless road.
"What's the good news?" Yoshimasa Oshima looked at this inexplicably excited staff officer, and was slightly stunned in his heart.
"Two good news, the first good news is that our troops have found a way to deal with tanks, although this method cannot completely destroy the enemy's tanks, but it has been proven to be absolutely feasible, and as long as it can hit, there is a great deal of certainty that the enemy's tanks will stop and cannot move." The staff officer said excitedly, as if he had personally found this shortcoming.
"Oh? What's the solution? When Yoshimasa Oshima heard the news, he couldn't help but feel excited, if this method is really feasible, does it mean that they don't have to break through? Does it mean that they can concentrate on taking out the enemy's armored divisions first?
As long as you cut off the enemy's armored division, then you will cut off their hands, and then take advantage of the night to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Although their losses were likely to be large, he preferred to accept them rather than fighting during the day, because it was the most cost-effective battle for the Japanese, and it was only the way to fight in which the casualties between the two sides could be reduced.
"Use a grenade to blow up the wheels of an enemy tank, and if you blow off a chain on the wheels, their tank will be paralyzed there. However, if the enemy's logistics can keep up, it is estimated that it will only take a tank a maximum of twenty minutes to be repaired. The front line has already blown up six tanks in this way, and now all six tanks are back to normal, and the front-line troops are trying to find a way to tie grenades together to blow up the enemy's wheels. The staff officer said.
"Blow up tracks?" Yoshimasa Oshima was slightly stunned.
'yes, why didn't you think of that?' The enemy's tanks are indeed very strong in defense, but their tracks are almost the weakest point, and as long as you find a way to blow up their tracks, the tanks will not be able to move. And the tank that can't move can only be used as a fixed battery, a fixed machine gun bunker. If we deliberately bypass them and do not approach these bombed-out tracked tanks, doesn't it mean that the blockade of them by the armored forces is meaningless?
While the tracks can be repaired quickly, what if bundles of grenades are thrown over? Will it blow their wheels off? It doesn't seem like there are spare wheels on the tank, right? If there are no wheels, does that mean they will not be able to regain mobility in a short time? ’
"What about casualties? What about casualties? Oshima Yoshimasa hurriedly asked, it is impossible for the enemy to be stupid enough not to arrange any soldiers around him to protect the tank, so although the Japanese have found a way to deal with the tank, it is not easy to deal with it at all.
If the casualties are too large, this method cannot be used very often, and you can only wait until there is no way to do it, but in any case, there is finally a way to deal with the tank, and overall, this is good news.
"The casualties were acceptable, we only lost one soldier each of the six tanks that were blown up, and the soldiers lay on the ground, using the corpses of the fallen warriors as cover, disguised as corpses on the ground, and when the enemy tanks approached, they threw grenades while the enemy was not paying attention.
One of the remaining four tanks was destroyed by a squad of warriors who had laid an ambush around in advance and threw grenades at the same time as the enemy approached.
The remaining three were a little more strenuous, and we lost a total of two squadrons of troops before we could take out their tracks. The staff officer said.
'Whew......' Yoshimasa Oshima let out a long breath.
Sure enough, the Chinese really had some precautions against this, and if the Japanese wanted to blow up their tracks, it depended on the specific implementation plan, and if a sneak attack was used, one person would be enough. But this requires a certain amount of luck, and no one can guarantee where the enemy's tanks will go, and no one can guarantee whether your position can be attacked directly.
And if you storm it, the losses of the troops will be too great, if it is a single tank, it is fine, if it is a cluster of tanks, there is no way to get close to the enemy at all, and before that, you have to deal with the infantry around the tank first.
The loss of two squadrons has proven everything, and a strong attack is not a very good way for the Japanese army, it is a battle that requires human lives to fill the gap in equipment, and Oshima Yoshimasa does not want this to happen often.
Again, anyway, they finally found a way to deal with tanks, although this loss may be a little large, but at this time, they have to accept it.
However, relying only on grenades to attack the enemy's tanks is not a long-term solution, and it would be great if there was a minemine that was specifically designed to deal with tanks, and they could even kill the enemy's tanks without wasting the lives of soldiers.
Later, we must write down the situation here, let the returning fleet send the news to Tokyo, and let the Tokyo side find a way to make a mine specially designed to deal with tanks as soon as possible.
"What about the other piece of good news?" Oshima Yoshimasa's mood at the moment was slightly soothed, and with good news, the effect was naturally different.
"The special forces of the three squads led by Sugiyama Motoshosa, Hata Junroku Shaosa, and Kogaku Kuniaki Shaoza have arrived at the port with the 17th Division, and they are currently on their way to the headquarters." said the staff officer.
"Good ......" Oshima Yoshimasa clapped his hands violently and applauded excitedly. They came just in time. ”
The good news is really one after another, the Army University has always been the elite of the elite, it is the highest level of military academy in the Japanese Army, all the trainees are from the outstanding soldiers who serve in the army, of course, this does not mean that you perform well in the army, or how many military merits you can go to further study.
First of all, you must have been in the army for more than two years of practical (service), under the age of 28 infantry and cavalry lieutenants, more than one year of pragmatism in the army, under 30 years of artillery, engineer lieutenant, good conduct, hard work, strong body, excellent mind, and recommended by the commander of the unit to which you belong.
The examination is divided into two stages: preliminary examination and re-examination, and the general enrollment rate is 10 percent, while cadets who participate in the army university examination generally need to go through a three-year preparation period.
The Army University also has a lot of advantages, first of all, the Army University is admitted to the second lieutenant, and after graduation, it is the rank of captain, and the promotion of the Japanese military rank is a suspension system, that is, a specified number of years, if you do not get promoted within this period, you can basically transfer to the reserve, or directly retire.
The advantage of students who graduate from Lu University is that after graduating with the rank of lieutenant, there is a four-year suspension period for adjutants, and after four years, 100% will be promoted to junior assistants, and the suspension period for adjutants is 2-4 years.
Therefore, after a Lu college student graduates, as long as he does not die, there is no problem in mixing up with a major officer in ten years. As long as you can show your talent in these ten years, then two people with the same ability, Lu Da's people will be promoted to generals first.
is still the same sentence, as long as you don't die, a major general can't run.
But the problem comes again, if you want to enter Lu University, you must first be a second lieutenant, if you want to be promoted to a second lieutenant, you must first be a Lu Shi graduate, if you want to be a Lu Shi graduate, you must first be Lu You's graduate, or you have a good performance in the army and are recommended to enter Lu Shi.
After such layers of selection, the students who entered Lu University were all the flowers of tomorrow in the future.
And this period of Lu Da is a bit special, they broke the previous convention and recruited two squadrons of elites, two-thirds of which are ordinary soldiers and military officers, and these people were also awarded the rank of second lieutenant when they graduated. It's a sublimation.
And except for this group of people, Lu Da has never broken this rule, but only a few people know that when he entered Lu Da, there were two squadrons, but when he graduated, there was only one squadron left, and this squadron was divided into four squadrons, which were under the jurisdiction of Sugiyama Moto, Hata Shunroku, Koshika Kuniaki, and Nishio Shouzo.
The squad under the jurisdiction of Nishio Shouzo is mainly responsible for the training of water combat missions, to put it bluntly, it is the mode of the enhanced version of the Marine Corps, which has little to do with this battle, and the Japanese side does not want to put all the preparations into it at once, so the team of Nishio Shouzo is retained.
If Wang Sirui sees this information, he will be very surprised, feeling that the Japanese will use the two future field marshals and two army generals as death squads.
