574: Thousands of miles away

At the headquarters of the 371st Division, looking at the top-secret telegram in his hand, Huang Jianbin had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

What about the war that Nima said it would be? What about the rain of bullets? Lao Tzu's pants are off, but you meow me that we are brother and sister, is this not a clear play?

However, there was a division in the Japanese army that was theirs, and this news still shocked Huang Jianbin , but no one knew about this matter before this, including Huang Jianbin himself, and he had not even heard the headquarters mention this matter.

After receiving the secret message, Huang Jianbin did not dare to be careless, because the radio station is currently only available to them, and the fact that they can translate it also proves that the codebook is correct, as for verifying the authenticity of this news, it is actually not difficult, but it takes time to verify. Huang Jianbin first asked people to respond to the other party, and then reported the matter to the army, if the army did not know, they continued to ask, if everyone did not know, it means that the radio station and code book were known by the Japanese.

Then they can't be polite next, they must kill each other, of course, this is just a matter of face.

Naturally, the army did not know about this, and then a telegram was forwarded several times, and finally asked the Japanese headquarters in Shanghai. To be honest, if it weren't for the establishment of the Japanese Command, even the Japanese Command would not have known that they had such a close cooperative relationship with the Japanese Fourth Division.

When they learned the news at that time, they were very frightened, and before that, almost everyone who had obtained information about Japan mistakenly thought that it was secretly collected by the agents of the Security Bureau stationed in Japan, and many people were surprised by the agents of the Security Bureau stationed in Japan, secretly lamenting that their work ability was too strong.

The establishment of the Japanese Command also means that the relationship between the Fourth Division and the Japanese Command has also been transferred to the Japanese Command, and the liaison with the agents of the Security Bureau in Japan has always been the responsibility of the Japanese Command, and the Security Bureau only sends people to the headquarters, and then sorts the information, and forwards it to whoever it is.

Soon, the news of the return from the headquarters reached Huang Jianbin in less than half an hour, and the speed was even more amazing.

But what is even more amazing is the matter of the Fourth Division, Huang Jianbin is even curious, what do the people of the Fourth Division think? How did the establishment surrender? And they are so willing to help them defeat Japan, what good is it for them? Is it to train the 4th Division into a puppet army?

But no matter what, the headquarters confirmed the news that the Fourth Division was a friendly army, so Huang Jianbin could only cross out the Fourth Division from his target range. Of course, if it weren't for this telegram, Huang Jianbin would not have known that five divisions had been gathered on the opposite side.

When the 3rd and 4th Divisions were mobilized, Japan announced that the two divisions would be transferred to Tokyo for defensive operations to supplement the defensive vacancies after the Guards Division left Tokyo, and no one realized that the two divisions were going directly to Hokkaido from Kyushu Island.

And at this time, he also realized the advantage of having me in the enemy, and knew the time of the enemy's attack, so that the troops could wait for their work and wait for them to fall into the net.

As for the enemy of the four divisions, well, to be honest, Huang Jianbin still felt the pressure on his shoulders. But when I think that I have a heavy artillery battalion and such a powerful firepower, it is not a big problem to use it for defense.

Besides, let the Japanese army quietly increase its troops to five divisions, even if these five divisions and regiments are not fully staffed, there are as many as 70,000 or 80,000 people, which has already exceeded the predetermined amount by as much as two or three times, and this is also a mistake in his work, even if the Japanese do not attack tomorrow, he will have to find a way to fight a battle tomorrow.

Although the Fourth Division told them that the Japanese army would attack on time at five o'clock tomorrow morning, they did not tell them the direction of the attack, perhaps this also had something to do with the mission of the Fourth Division, they were defensive tasks, and it was normal not to understand the offensive arrangements.

Huang Jianbin called his officers over and told them to get up on time at three o'clock tomorrow morning, and then bury the pot to cook, and tomorrow they will have a big game with the Japanese.

At this time, Huang Jianbin did not dare to directly leak the news that the Japanese army was going to attack tomorrow, the matter of the Fourth Division was top secret, even Huang Jianbin cooperated with them to do things, and tried not to expose them as much as possible, so as not to lose this internal response prematurely.

He meowed, the internal response of a whole division, this is probably a strange thing in the history of world wars, right?

There was nothing to say all night, at three o'clock, the departments got up on time, the cooking squad made breakfast early in the rear, the six-minute hot breakfast was sent to the front line, the soldiers filled the breakfast into their stomachs in twos and threes, the time came to half past three, and still did not wait for any offensive order, and had no choice but to chat indiscriminately on the position, or squatting in the trench and smoking a cigarette.

At four o'clock, the Japanese army began to eat breakfast, and breakfast was nothing more than a simple breakfast, a bowl of gruel, a steamed bun, with two mouthfuls of pickles, this was the breakfast of the Japanese army.

Since Hokkaido's resources were cut off, Japan's supplies were in a predicament in an instant, and it was good to say in the army that no matter how much they ate, they could at least guarantee three meals a day, and the people were even more miserable, and now they could only guarantee one meal a day, and they couldn't eat enough.

It is rumored that the royal family has begun to reduce their rations, and the royal family now eats only two meals a day, and they eat not much better than the soldiers in the army.

And there is also a rumor that since the lack of food, Emperor Meiji's illness has aggravated a lot again, and sometimes he can't even guarantee normal thoughts, and Crown Prince Yoshihito's condition is not good, sometimes crazy, sometimes more sober than anyone else, when he is crazy, he can make people cry and laugh, and when he is sober, he shows the wisdom that the crown prince should have.

Compared to Kahito's instability and Meiji's serious illness, what Japan needs is an emotionally stable emperor. But very helpless, Emperor Meiji only the crown prince Yoshihito survived, the other children all died, Emperor Meiji's favorite grandson Hirohito is only nine years old this year, as Kahito's condition is getting worse, the Japanese imperial family has also begun to break the dynasty.

But what is even more worrying is the war, a few years ago they were able to push the war on the territory of other countries, but a few years later the war was fought on the Japanese mainland.

Originally, Japan had already laid heavy troops on Kyushu Island, just waiting for the Chinese to attack, but who knew that they suddenly landed in Hokkaido, cutting off Japan's coal bunkers and granaries in one fell swoop, and directly led to Japan's industrial production reduction, or even suspension of production, and the people could not eat enough.

At this moment, the Japanese army did not even care about the fatigue caused by the rush for several days, except for the fourth division, the remaining four divisions were all thinking about driving the Chinese away as soon as possible, and no one even wanted to set foot on Chinese territory again and go there to take crazy revenge on them.

Although the Japanese were well aware that they were not inferior in strength, and they did not have the opportunity to kill the other side, and they were not even sure enough to drive the other side away from Hokkaido.

However, even in this situation, there are still countless Japanese who are still willing to join the army and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country. At this moment, the militarism promoted by the Japanese government has played a crucial role. Although the industrial construction of the Meiji Restoration in the past few decades is gradually being defeated, the spiritual level of allergies has been raised.

At 4:40, the Japanese troops of the four divisions were making final preparations, checking the incomplete equipment, hanging their bayonets on their guns, and then lining up, waiting for orders from their superiors, and then rushing to the enemy's position and killing everyone.

They can't do it during the day, but what about at night? Can't they do it yet? As long as they can fight hand-to-hand combat, can't three or four Japanese soldiers kill a Chinese?

At 4:50 a.m., Oshima Yoshimasa officially gave the order to attack, and the Japanese troops of the four divisions were eager to squeeze together and frantically rushed towards the position of the 371st Division 10 kilometers away.

If it weren't for the fear of leaking the news in advance, Oshima Yoshimasa would have ordered the two divisions to move behind the enemy in advance, and then attack from all sides to destroy the opposite division in one fell swoop.

'......Boom'

In the ranks of the Japanese army, which was slowly sneaking in the dark night, suddenly there was a not very violent explosion, which was not the effect of the explosion of the shells, or even worse than the infantry mines, but the explosion did happen, and many soldiers around it also suffered.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, the Japanese army did not understand exactly what was happening, and the explosion followed.

Last night, after learning of the Japanese army's attack plan, Huang Jianbin ordered people to arrange a large number of mixed mines five kilometers away, that is, to use grenades to connect the line, so that a grenade can control a range of one to two meters, as long as there are Japanese troops passing by, and touching this line, it will explode immediately.

In fact, this is purely for early warning.

After the explosion, the outpost quickly withdrew from the observation post, and since the Japanese troops had come out, there was no need to continue to stare at it.

Ten minutes later, the dark sentry galloped all the way to the position five kilometers away, and told the large army that the Japanese had been dispatched. At this moment, the soldiers who were doing nothing in the trenches finally reacted, feeling that today they were not attacking, but defending.

But then again, they like to defend the most, because the pressure on the defending side is less than on the attacking side.

After receiving the report, Huang Jianbin immediately ordered the heavy artillery battalion and all the infantry guns to open fire at the predetermined position. (To be continued.) )
