[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 525: Talking about the two devils of the puppet army (ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

Looking at the puppet soldiers who were bent on the waist not far away, Zhang Guohua said disdainfully to the soldiers around him: "Comrades, you are all optimistic, those dogs in front of you are traitors who are fighting for tigers, and it is these people who are helping those to raise little devils and oppress our compatriots and sisters." Pen %fun %Ge www.biquge.info wait a while, if these dog things come up, they will give me a hard beating, these pigs and dogs are not as good as killing one is counted as one, and killing two is counted as a pair. Comrades, did you hear that? ”

"I heard you!" The warriors replied in unison, unusually loud.

After repelling the attacks of these dog traitors several times in a row, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the village were very excited, and their morale also skyrocketed.

When a guy who looked like a captain of the puppet army commanded a large number of puppet troops to approach the entrance of the village and was about to charge, he only heard a sudden sound of breaking the air overhead, and when most of the puppet army was wondering, the explosion of "boom" and "boom" sounded rapidly.

"Grenades..."

"Oh my god! It's a grenade! ”

"Lie down..."

"Damn... I'm gone... It's too dangerous..."

"Brothers... Run away..."

At this time, the overall quality of the puppet army was undoubtedly exposed, and under the blow of a grenade from the defenders, the morale dropped rapidly, and even deserters appeared.

Looking at the puppet army that fled in all directions, Liang Shangren, Li Tie and others were dumbfounded, are these guys still soldiers?

In fact, it's really not, this time it's just the nurses of the major traitors in Yanggu County and the guardians under the command of Wanjiafo, none of them are real soldiers, so these have nothing to do with the elite at all.

However, it was really beyond Monk Hua's expectation that five or six hundred people would be beaten and scattered so quickly, although he had expected that the combat effectiveness of these people would not be too strong, but he did not expect that they would be so weak, it was like a pile of sand, and they fell apart with a single stab.

In fact, whether it is Monk Hua or Liang Shangren, or even Ma Zheng himself, they all far overestimate the combat effectiveness of this group of traitors and puppet army. They only saw the sophisticated equipment of the puppet army and the sturdy bodies of the puppet soldiers, but they didn't see their sleepy thoughts and feelings, let alone the actual thoughts of the puppet soldiers about this battle.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is obvious to all, and there is no doubt about its strength, but the puppet army formed by the Japanese army is more than 108,000 miles behind, not to mention unsightly, and its reputation is extremely poor.

On the issue of the imbalance between the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army and the puppet army, later generations have some different views, and a large number of "brick families" and "beasts" have been noisy for a long time, but there has never been a more authoritative statement.

But there are some arguments that are still more reliable, in fact, at the beginning of the war, the Japanese army did not need a puppet army, they always believed that the Chinese government would not hold out for long, and the destruction of China in three months was not blown out of random blowing, and the Japanese military high-level thought so at that time.

However, as the war continued, the Chinese government and the military and people did not collapse as completely as the Japanese army imagined, but resisted more and more powerfully. In particular, in the rear areas occupied by the Japanese army, resistance activities broke out one after another, and except for some guerrillas and administrative offices led by the Nationalist Government, the vast majority of the troops were regular troops and guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of the Communist Party.

It was precisely because of the existence of these troops that they caused huge losses to the Japanese army, and at the same time pinned down a large number of Japanese troops, and supported the frontal battlefield of the Nationalist Government.

The Japanese military leadership soon realized this situation, and they found that in order to suppress the resistance in the occupied areas, a large number of regular troops for offensive operations were contained, resulting in a serious shortage of front-line combat troops. In order to solve this problem, the senior officers of the Japanese base camp wanted to use the existing local soldiers to maintain their rule.

However, there is a problem, that is, the existing personnel in the occupied territories are limited after all, and how can such a large occupied zone be maintained by relying on limited personnel? Therefore, the top brass of the Japanese army came up with a poisonous plan that was not clever but very effective -- to use China to contain China.

In fact, the so-called use of China to contain China by the Japanese army was very simple, and it was not used less before the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, concocting puppet regimes such as the puppet state of Manchukuo and the autonomous government of Mongolia, and the armed forces under the command of these puppet regimes are what we usually call "puppet army", "two devils", and "dog legs".

According to historical records, in 1938, in addition to the armed forces of the puppet Manchukuo, the number of puppet troops in China was about 80,000, and these people were mainly distributed in North China, mainly subordinate to the North China Security Army.

However, after Wang Jingwei defected from the Nationalist Government and established a new government, the number of puppet troops in China rose sharply to 150,000, and during the period from 1942 to 1943, the Nationalist Government implemented the slogan of "Saving the Country by Curves", allowing the commanders of the Nationalist Revolutionary Army to "temporarily surrender in order to preserve their strength in the face of unfavorable war situations", the number of puppet troops began to grow explosively, and its strength reached a huge number of one million at its peak.

According to the statistics of the Chinese government after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, about 62% of the puppet army in China were former units of the National Revolutionary Army. Except for some puppet troops stationed in cities to maintain law and order in the occupied areas, the vast majority of the puppet troops were transferred to the anti-Japanese base areas in North China to carry out "sweeps," and many of them participated in the massacre of civilians in North China.

After Japan's unconditional surrender, according to statistics, the number of all puppet troops stationed in China except for the puppet Manchukuo was about 1.186 million, but there are also claims of more than 2 million puppet troops in the widely circulated version.

This number of puppet troops was almost equal to the number of Japanese troops in China, but it was the Japanese army that commanded the puppet army. According to statistics, China was the only country that outnumbered the number of puppet armies in World War II than the number of invading armies, and the bizarre phenomenon caused by this ratio has always been a problem criticized by the Chinese after the war

Although the scale of the puppet army is so amazing, their combat effectiveness is really not very good, otherwise the Japanese army would not have to form so many puppet troops.

Let's take the puppet Mongol army that Ma Zheng's department encountered in the Suicha area, although the number of puppet Mongol troops is quite large, they are not awesome in peacetime. But until the real big war, these guys are really limited in their role.

This is not to belittle the combat effectiveness of the puppet army, and the combat capability of the puppet army is indeed speechless. It's okay to fight with the Japanese, although many times the Japanese use the puppet army as cannon fodder, but after all, there is such a backbone or supervisor, and the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is okay. But if the puppet army is fighting alone, then this puppet army really can't be used as an army.

Although there are some exaggerations to run away from the wind, it is a real birth, and more than once. Just like just now, if the battle does not go well, collapse is inevitable.

To get back to the point, five or six hundred people were defeated in this way, and Monk Hua's heart suddenly fell to the lowest point. What kind of unit is the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, judging by how fierce its firepower is, and the intensity of the counterattack is also very weak, according to the density of firepower, Monk Hua can still judge the approximate number of guerrillas in the village. But the result was a big surprise to him, were these guerrillas too tough or were his troops too?

Monk Hua was naturally reluctant to admit that his subordinates were all a group of wine bags and rice bags, so he attributed the blame to the enemy being too strong, and combined with the telegram he received the day before, Monk Hua judged that they had encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Why is it said to be the main one? The main reason is that Monk Hua felt that it was impossible to hide too many people in the village, if he encountered all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army, then with the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army that could completely annihilate an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, at least one regiment of strength would be enough. If the Eighth Route Army really had a regiment, it would not be difficult for them to eliminate their more than 4,000 miscellaneous soldiers, even if it was difficult to completely annihilate them, there would be no problem in defeating them.

But the current situation is that they are attacking around the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army is just cowering in this village. First of all, it can be judged that the number of the Eighth Route Army in the village is not large, which can also be judged from the density of the enemy's firepower.

Secondly, it can be seen that there should be other troops of the Eighth Route Army nearby, and the distance is not too far, otherwise these people should have broken through a long time ago, instead of sticking to the village.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, there should be a relatively important person in the Tu Eighth Route in the village, so that these Eighth Route Army dare not take too much risk.

After thinking about it so much, it seemed that every one of them was reasonable, and for a while, Monk Hua didn't know what to do. (To be continued.) )
