401 into the wax
In April 1781, the Tang Army's Yamato Corps crossed the border between Siam and Chenla and entered Cambodia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 This thousand-strong force, after advancing for dozens of kilometers, finally encountered an obstacle, a force composed of the old Nguyen army of Annam and the puppet army of Chenla, the scale is not large, about 2,000 people.
Hu Wenxuan, the general of the old Ruan army, was somewhat in awe of the Tang army, and politely sent an envoy to propose that Zhenla is now Ruan Fuying's sphere of influence, and the Tang Dynasty and the old Ruan are good friends, hoping that the Tang Dynasty can retreat, and the old Ruan is grateful.
The commander of this regiment is Sadao Kadoyama, who is of Japanese descent, and he is also the lucky one who was just appointed as the commander of the regiment when he left Okuwa, and the actual affairs of the regiment are mainly decided by the political commissar who evolved from the chief instructor. After asking the political commissar for his opinion, the political commissar made it very clear that the order we received was to get close to Zhenla, and no matter what opinions the other party raised, it had nothing to do with us, and we were only here to fight.
Sadao Kadoyama immediately nodded and bowed, saying hi. The two sides were still facing each other, but Sadao Kakuyama did not wait for the messenger to return to his life, so he ordered his artillery battalion to shell the old Nguyen army and the Chenla army. The weapons of the Yamato Corps belonged to the low-level of the Tang Army, and the infantry used the S1 bolt-action rifle replaced by the regular army of the Tang Army, and the artillery was equipped with a 70 mm foreign trade infantry gun. Although this firepower is obviously relatively light, it is actually enough for any enemy other than the Don Army in this era.
Before the old Nguyen army and the Zhenla army could react, they were attacked by the 18 infantry guns of the Tang army and the corps, and they were suddenly bombarded by artillery, which made the old Ruan army and the Zhenla army, which lacked such combat experience, chaotic. Sadao Kadoyama was also not a Tang officer with much formal military education. He didn't even wait much at all. Let the artillery only after a few shells per gun. He ordered the infantry to launch a cluster charge.
Obviously, this is the standard skirmisher line of attack, these Japanese soldiers run in small steps, and then stand still and shoot at the enemy or shoot as they march, unlike the Don Army, which has a large number of automatic weapons, their main weapon is the bolt-action rifle in their hands. The instructors of the Tang Army in the Yamato Corps also admitted that the Japanese soldiers had a very high level of archery, even on a par with the archery skills of the Tang soldiers. Even without submachine guns and a large number of light and heavy machine guns. The gunfire of the Japanese soldiers was also very powerful in killing and wounding the old Nguyen army and the Chenla army.
Unlike the Siamese army, which was fearless to death due to many factors, the Chenla and Vietnamese were directly frightened in the face of such an offensive. Although the old Ruan army had been armed and trained by the Tang people, its level was really limited. Even after getting help from the Tang people, there was no way to have much advantage against the Xishan army. Although the number of the charge of the He Corps was only a thousand, the momentum was really amazing, and with the gunfire of guns, the more than 2,000 Lao Nguyen and Zhen La coalition forces were about to collapse before they could be handed over. The commander Hu Wenxuan could not hold down the troops at all, and even his men led his horses and retreated, hoping to avoid the terrible shelling.
Shingo Kameda is also in this group. At this time, he was holding a pistol in one hand and his family's heirloom katana in the other. Leading his company, frantically rushing towards the enemy.
"Gentlemen, this is our first battle of loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and you must go all out to show the courage of my warriors, and I wish you all prosperity in martial arts!"
All the Japanese soldiers of the Yamato Corps received political work and ideological education after the formation, just like another Japanese face after the Meiji Restoration, after the establishment of the army, the army implemented the idea of loyalty and patriotism, and after the formation of the Yamato Corps in Aoyu, Datang also had a main axis of army building thought, that is, unlimited loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. This system of thought is a mixture of many things from other countries and cultures, and it also has this rigorous logical argument. For example, the Tang Dynasty's version of Zhaozhao Destiny.
The Mandate of Heaven first used history as a carrier to propose that Japan originated from China, and that the Japanese all crossed east from the mainland and lived here, and there is even an archaeological basis to prove it. Then, the cultural exchange between Japan and China is proposed to prove that the main body of Japanese culture is constructed under the framework of Chinese culture, and is a branch of the towering tree of Chinese culture. In the Li Tang era, Japan learned a lot of Tang culture, and finally established the current culture. Then, Japan's progress in civilization must closely follow the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty, and only by learning the authentic culture of the Tang Dynasty can it truly get rid of poverty and barbarism.
Then show the advanced degree of modern culture of the Tang Dynasty, which does not need to be said, because as long as you are a long-eyed person, you can see it yourself. At the same time, compare the backwardness of Japan's shogunate rule, and then give a conclusion that only the Tang Dynasty can save Japan, and Japan can only enjoy a happy life if it is highly Tangized.
The instructors of the Tang people also popularized some world history by the way, not mentioning the process, and the conclusion is that the rest of the world, except for the Tang Dynasty, is either some barbarian people who drink blood, or they are hypocritical bandit countries that have a predatory nature and no dignity, and in order to avoid destruction, Japan must stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, as an advanced civilization and a benevolent country, Datang also has the obligation to promote its own civilization around the world.
This kind of expansionism is, in fact, a manifest destiny of de-religionization. There are not many people engaged in theoretical work in Datang, and engaging in such work is simply easy and pleasant, and in addition, they have chosen some foundations that are relatively easy to accept by the Japanese, so that after a short period of ideological education work, the Japanese soldiers have developed a strong sense of honor and mission, and their patriotic feelings are bursting. Of course, the collectivist environment of the military also has a positive effect on this ideological education.
Therefore, Japanese officers like Shingo Kameda are actually not in the minority in the Yamato Corps. They denounced the past of serving the Japanese feudal daimyos, believing that it was superficial and stupid, and that in the great cause of the Tang Dynasty to open up the world, seeking the welfare of mankind and adding glory to martial arts is the ultimate meaning of life.
Displayed on the battlefield, it is the "bravery" that many Datang instructors sigh. This unit, which has begun to appear as a prototype of a modern army, has made some Tang officers who have read World War II materials feel the familiar brute bravery, even if the old Ruan army also used muskets to carry out sporadic resistance shooting, but it could not hit the momentum of this group of Japanese soldiers in the slightest. Even on the battlefield, there are still people who are hit by bullets, but they still get up and insist on charging, and they have to kill a person without compensation.
In such a tiger-like momentum, even if there were more people, Old Ruan and Zhenla Army Master couldn't hold it at all, and they were immediately defeated. When the two sides were close to each other, the red-eyed Japanese soldier didn't even need to shoot at all, and stabbed with a spear with a bayonet, killing a river of blood. (To be continued.) )
