Chapter 1: The Pain of Losing Fish
The 500 divisions conquered Yingshan and once attacked Xinyang City. General Kanichiro No, of the 29th Brigade, was once in an extremely dangerous situation. Such a major unfavorable situation in the Japanese-occupied area greatly angered the Tokyo base camp, and the commander of the 11th Army, General Okamura Ninji, was reprimanded from Tokyo.
In order to save face and give an account to the base camp, Okamura Ninji ordered Lieutenant General Fujita Shin of the 3rd Division to march to Mt. Oyama immediately! Not only must Yingshan be taken, but the city must also be defended, and it must not be allowed to make any mistakes, otherwise, the commander of Gangcun will have to take the road of automatic resignation.
Lieutenant General Fujita received an order from Commander Gangmura and led the mechanized army of the 3rd Division to kill Yingshan Castle all the way under the open road with planes on and tanks on the bottom.
The devil put on such a big formation, it was impossible for the scouts of the 500th Division not to know, and after getting the news, they immediately reported it to the division commander Gao Quan. In the face of such a powerful Japanese division, Gao Quan wisely chose to retreat, and the troops of the battalion that remained in Yingshan City withdrew from the city two days in advance.
Although it is the bad luck of preparing to find the 500 divisions, the first important thing is to capture Yingshan Castle, and now he can occupy the county seat without blood, and Lieutenant General Fujita is still very happy. What does this mean? It shows that he is Lieutenant General Fujita's prestige, and Gao Quan will run away when he hears his name!
Yingshan City has once again become a city under the control of the Japanese army, and it is now the headquarters of the third division of the Japanese army. Besides, he really doesn't have that much time now, and he can walk around the county like an ordinary scout in makeup. Division Commander Gao is very busy now, in the Dabie Mountains and the vast rural areas around Xinyang, the 500th Division is now busy recruiting troops and horses, and training new soldiers.
How do you train a soldier? In addition to Gao Quan's set of conventional training methods, it is necessary to practice with actual combat. With the arrival of Lieutenant General Fujita in Mt. Oyama, heavy Japanese troops began to be stationed in each prefecture. The Third Division is an infantry division with a very high degree of mechanization, and since they have put on a posture of stationing and taking root in the southern Henan region, it will be very difficult for Gao Quan to attack the county seat or something.
In the last battle with the 500th Division, Nokanichiro's 29th Brigade suffered heavy casualties, the 18th Wing suffered heavy losses, and the brigade headquarters also suffered a lot of losses. The mixed brigade from Kaifeng had a car accident halfway through, losing a lot of manpower, and even the newly appointed brigade commander was killed in that car accident.
Since both units had to be replenished, and the newly built mixed brigade was originally built to relieve the siege of the field survey brigade, since their brigade commander had become a god, there was no need for this unit to exist. As soon as Commander Gangcun pondered, he simply handed over the remaining people of the mixed brigade to Major General Yekan, so that he would no longer have to go to great lengths to replenish the manpower of the Yekan brigade. It not only solved the way out of the mixed brigade after the lack of a brigade commander, but also appeased the 29th brigade and regiment, which lacked a major general, which was really a win-win strategy.
Okamura Ninji came up with such a brilliant idea and fooled Kanichiro No, Fujita Susumu is not so easy to dismiss. Since Commander Gangcun ordered the Third Division to control such a large area between Yingshan and Xinyang, it was obviously unreasonable to want to not have some blood. At the repeated requests of the commander of the Fujita Division, Commander Gangmura had no choice but to ask for reinforcements from the base camp again and again, and one group after another of devil soldiers crossed the ocean from Japan to various county towns controlled by the Third Division, and played the role of urban garrison.
In the Jigong Mountains, where the headquarters of the 500th Division was stationed, Gao Quan was pondering a huge map of the Xinyang area.
According to the information obtained by the scouts, the devils have deployed heavy troops in several counties on this map, and it is obviously impossible to open up the situation from the county seat. The only good news is that his old commander, Liu Ruming's 68th Army, is now stationed in Tongbai with the 119th Division. Both sides belong to the ** army, and there is incense, but from time to time there is mutual contact.
Xinyang, which is the garrison of the 29th Brigade and the 3rd Division in Yingshan, is stationed between the two devils, and there are often transport convoys between the two places. Since the little devil was guarding the city and not allowing Gao Quan to go shopping in the city, he had no choice but to shift his attention to the transport convoy in the wild. Actually, this can't blame our senior master for greedy for money, in fact, this is also forced by the devils, isn't it?
"This time, it's the turn of the Independent Brigade to descend the mountain. According to the intelligence of the reconnaissance battalion, there will be a Japanese transport convoy from Yingshan to Xinyang tomorrow, and it is estimated that the convoy may be carrying food. The task of the Independent Brigade is this: to rob this batch of food! Let's also taste what good things the devils eat. ”
Speaking of this, all the commanders in the meeting below laughed. They have eaten a lot of Japanese food in the past few months, from barbecued meat and smoked fish to sake rice balls, and they have almost tasted all the Japanese food. Of course, it was definitely not Gao Quan's money to entertain guests, it was all the regular ** troops of the 500th Division who pretended to be car bandits and road ragepers and robbed them by force.
Just for these food supplies, Lieutenant General Fujita and Major General Nokan can be very angry. Lieutenant General Fujita was angry that his transport team of the Third Division had been repeatedly attacked by lawless people, and his supplies and personnel had been damaged many times, which had seriously ruined the prestige of his Third Division.
The reason why Major General Nokan is angry is because he hasn't eaten his favorite grilled salmon for two months in a row! Those salmon were brought from Japan by his trustees, and they were intercepted three times in the middle of the journey! Although there are fish in the Nanwan Reservoir, there are all river fish, and General Yekan loves to eat sea fish! They're not the same thing! The commander of a major general's brigade can't even eat a meal of his favorite fish! Thinking of this reality, General Nokan wanted to cry when he felt uncomfortable.
"I want to eat fish!" General Nokan howled with a crying voice, startling an old eagle in the tree, croaking and flying away.
"Your Excellency General, the fish is coming!" With this voice, a ghost chef wearing a white cloth apron outside came in with a large tray and trotting. "Your Excellency, please taste, this is a famous Chinese dish I made based on the recipes of the locals, braised carp. It tastes good. The cook looked at his Excellency the General with anticipation.
General Ye Kan glanced at the fragrant and attractive braised carp on the plate, and his heart twitched. The day before yesterday, it was also this chef who made a sweet and sour carp, and General Nokan couldn't resist the temptation of that fragrance, and as a result, he was almost stabbed to death by a fish bone in one bite! He couldn't publicize this kind of thing to outsiders, so he had to quietly throw away a good plate of fish. As a result, the chef didn't know, and when he saw that the plate was clean, he thought that His Excellency the general liked it, so he ate all the fish, and today he made another one, and changed it to the taste of braised wine.
