Chapter 585: Darkness Chen Cang (4)
The special team of the 4th Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army is a special force formed under the personal supervision of Yamashita Fengfumi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info belongs to the Japanese army wing system, which is equivalent to the regimental level of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Captain Yamada Tani Ichizo graduated from the Imperial Army University, and most of his classmates have been among the ranks of famous army generals, such as Nobu Changde, who was killed by Meng Qingshan. Yamada Tanichi's military rank was the lowest among Lu University's graduates of the same period, because Yamada Tanichi was not interested in large corps operations, and his interest was in the study of special operations, a new military discipline. In the First World War, the military of various countries did not pay much attention to it, and in the 30s of this century, some servicemen who were interested in special operations appeared in the military academies of various military powers, and their theoretical basis was that on the premise of acknowledging that great men made history, they would never ignore the possibility of small people making history. For example, the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand was killed by a Serbian little man in Sarajevo, which triggered the First World War, can you say that the little man can't make history? When the balance is in equilibrium, the weight of an ant can cause the balance to tilt, so on the strategic balance, a surprise attack by a small army that is specially trained, well-equipped, and has extremely high combat quality at a critical moment will also tilt the strategic balance.
It's no wonder that Yamada Tani Ichisa couldn't be promoted to a general like his classmates, and the topics he studied were too biased. But he never regretted that World War II was a vast arena for activities, and his American, British, and German counterparts had already shown their skills in the European War, the North African War, and the Pacific Theater. The operatives are selected from each unit. It must pass a variety of strict assessments, and the elimination rate is extremely high. At the special forces school in Berlin, Colonel Hohmann, the Germanic instructor who had always looked down on the Orientals, was surprised to find that this group of cadets from the Japanese archipelago had extremely rich practical combat experience, which was by no means something that could be learned in the classroom. The cadets proudly told the colonels that they were highly educated, and that the Japanese army had not ceased to fight since the Manchurian Incident of 1931, when Mr. Hitler had not yet taken care of German affairs.
Yamada looked down on the old, rigid-minded officials in charge of ordnance production. Look at what weapons they equipped the Japanese army, the five-round loaded Type 38 rifle, each bullet fired had to be pulled by hand to pull the bolt to return the shell, and there was only one light machine gun per squad, and the firepower was too poor. Ordnance officials theorized that Japan was a resource-poor country, and that equipping it with automatic firearms would increase the cost of warfare, with a single-shot rifle might last a day's worth of ammunition based on 150 rounds of ammunition carried by a single soldier, while a submachine gun used for burst fire might not last an hour. If only one million army units are equipped with submachine guns, then Japan cannot afford such a high-cost war as it can afford to expand its existing resources, productive forces, transportation capacity, and logistical support system tenfold.
Yamada Tanichi held the opposite view, he believed that Japan's lack of resources was an objective fact, and if it were not for this reason, Japan would not have had to fight this war, but now the situation is different, since the Manchuria Incident in 1931, the three northeastern provinces of China have become Japan's main bases for resource supply and arms production, and after the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937 and the August 13 Incident in Shanghai, most of China's land and resources have fallen into the hands of the empire. With such a vast occupied area, such abundant resources, and cheap labor, those old people who are a little ill-intentioned to say that they are short of resources, why don't they adjust their arms production in time and come up with better weapons and equipment for the troops? It must be known that on the European battlefield at this time, the individual weapons of the major belligerents are mainly automatic firearms, not to mention the firepower of heavy weapons, and the strength of an army should mainly be reflected in the strength of firepower.
Yamada will never forget the Battle of Nomenkan, which he personally participated in in 1939 in the Sino-Mongolian border area, which was a contest of steel, large-scale industrial production, and will, flesh and blood. At that time, General Zhukov, commander of the First Army of the Soviet Far East, concentrated four tank brigades, three or 100 planes, and 250 artillery pieces, and the arrogant Japanese Army could be regarded as having experienced what modern warfare was. In the depths of the unobstructed Great Gobi, on a frontage of more than ten kilometers, flying dust swept the earth, thousands of T34 Soviet tanks came overwhelmingly, the tracks of the tanks mercilessly crushed the spirit and body of the Japanese soldiers, and buried the arrogant northward ambition of the Japanese Empire in the wind-swept Mongolian Gobi.
Nomenkan, a diabolical name, has left a painful memory on Yamada Tanichi that will never be erased.
As a realist, although Yamamoto Kazuki knew that he could not change the equipment of the Japanese Army, he still had the power to equip this small special force of less than 100 people with advanced weapons. Each member of the special forces was armed with a German-made Hip-38 submachine gun and a German-made 20-round barge gun, and each combat group was composed of 10 people and two light machine guns, and the individual firepower was satisfactory.
When the empire suffered a setback, a bandit leader who had been active in a dark corner walked into the foreground and led a group of laborers to wantonly destroy the beautiful and rich Manchukuo. Dressed in tatters like a flower child, he didn't eat a meal, he was worried when winter came, and he rebelled against the empire in Manchuria, which had been run by the empire like an iron barrel, it was a joke.
However, when the sealed war report came, Yamada Tanichi had to admit that the person named Meng Qingshan was very capable, especially he was also very proficient in special operations, and there was an elusive unit under his command, which made Yamada Tanichi very puzzled, you must know that special operations is a tactic that has just taken shape, how can anyone in this backward country know more than the German instructor, Yamada Tanichi really wants to compete with the mysterious force in Meng Qingshan's hands, However, because of a time to enter the customs to assist in the battle, he had to keep the desire to fight against Meng Qingshan, and when he came back to rest, he learned that Meng Qingshan had been captured alive, so he wholeheartedly turned his target to those special recruits who had just been recruited.
At this time, 40 recruits were assembled in the shooting range of the prisoner of war camp. Taniichi Yamada addressed the recruits below: "Today, there will be an assassination drill with a live target, and it is necessary to kill with one hit, and everyone must strictly follow the basic essentials. Calm down, do a good job! ”
At this time, dozens of Japanese military policemen escorted hundreds of prisoners of war, all of whom were about 30 years old, and their arms were tied. Shocho Abe ordered the soldiers to tie their hands, feet, and necks to two wooden posts.
The soldiers were divided into two groups, each of 20 people, in a column, about ten meters from the live target.
"Ready—thorn!" At the sound of an order, the assassination began.
The soldiers stabbed desperately in front with their eyes closed.
"Stop! Can that stab someone?" Abe Juncao shouted loudly. To be stabbed like this! "Ah! A thud stabbed the prisoner on the left, and with a miserable scream, the prisoner's body shook from side to side.
The recruits began to assassinate again, shouting and stabbing everywhere, leaving wounds everywhere on the bodies of hundreds of prisoners of war like honeycombs, blood spurting to the ground, and red blood forming a stream.
"Yo Si! Imperial soldiers should have a desire to kill! But you have to stab the key point and kill with one blow, Abe-kun, pick some more prisoners of war to practice? ”
"Hey!"
"All ......"
"Nani? Where did the flares come from? ”
"Your Excellency Dazuo seems to be in the direction of Jiamusi Port."
"Could it be the ceremonial flowers put by His Excellency the Division Commander?" Yamada Tanichi said suspiciously.
"Your Excellency Dazuo is not good, we are surrounded, and the outside is densely packed with people."
"How is that possible? Troops came out of nowhere. Tanichi Yamada said as he climbed up the turret and looked outside.
Yamada Taniichi saw a scene in front of his eyes that he would never forget. The prisoner of war camp was surrounded by the Anti-Japanese Federation that came out of nowhere. A very light and heavy machine gun, the muzzles of each rifle were pointed at him, and what shocked him even more was that there were many Type 92 infantry guns on the other side. Infantry guns with muzzles held high, like lions with large mouths, ready to devour prisoner of war camps at any time.
"Baga! Sound the alarm, order the soldiers in each turret to enter the combat position immediately, and immediately send a telegram to the command to request reinforcements. ”
"Hey!"
"Quick, get into combat position right away, quick." These were the first words that the commanders of the various turrets said to their own soldiers after they found out that they were surrounded.
At this time, Qi Zhizhong, as the division commander, was holding his telescope and staring at the Japanese stronghold only 500 meters away from him. Although, this stronghold in front of him is a large fortress that is very difficult to attack. But looking at the Type 92 infantry cannon with the muzzle on the door of the position behind him, he no longer had the same worries about the fortress in front of him, and he believed that under the threat of the cannon, the devil soldiers inside would burrow into his turtle shell one by one.
"Report to the division commander, we have set up all the elements and are ready to carry out artillery bombardment at any time." Hong Yongfu, the commander of the artillery battalion, ran in front of Qi Zhizhong and said.
Qi Zhizhong looked at his watch. "Well, after three minutes, launch a general attack on time, don't worry about the ammunition, give me the devil's tortoise shell to smash, you can't let the brother troops underestimate us."
"Yes, Commander."
"All of them" The sound of six muffled cannon shots reached Qi Zhizhong's ears. At the same time, the sound of explosions of Type 92 infantry artillery shells rang out from each of the seven strongholds in the prisoner of war camp. The explosion of this cannonball swore that Meng Qingshan's plan to secretly control Chen Cang had reached a critical moment.
The sound of Type 92 infantry shells crossing the sky reached the ears of the devils in the prisoner of war camp. "Baga, the people of China have started shelling, pay attention to concealment." However, before the finished story was finished, six shells accurately hit the turret, and although the turret built by the Japanese was very strong, it could not withstand the shelling of a 75-mm mountain gun or even a 92-mm infantry gun.
The ghost soldiers in the turret had to escape from the turret in order to survive, and those who ran slower were buried alive in the turret.
