The 801st landed in Japan Sat Is there still a monthly pass?
"Brothers, follow me! Kill! Xu You looked at the fireball rising high in the distance, roared, picked up his Type 31 automatic rifle and jumped out of the hidden crater first.
He is a veteran officer transferred from the army's infantry unit to serve in the Marine Corps, and he has been rolling in the smoke of the world war for more than three years. Even Shi Zhongcheng and Fang Xianjue, lieutenant generals and major generals who supervised the battle on the sea, were far inferior to him. Although the reaction was a little slower when I first landed, it has now fully adjusted to its state. The more than 1,000 marines under his command (only half of the 1st Marine Regiment came up) also reacted from the initial panic, after all, they were among the most elite infantry in the entire Wehrmacht. More than 1,000 people jumped out of the hidden craters almost simultaneously, quickly dispersed to form several skirmishers, and pressed towards the wooded hillside near the beachhead.
At the same time, the officers and men of the other seven marine regiments that landed also launched an offensive, and in the face of the overwhelming Chinese infantry, the commander of the Japanese 106th Division, who had just lost most of its artillery, immediately ordered the troops hidden in the second line to move forward. Although he had long been prepared to abandon his front-line positions and retreat into the mountains for a long time, it did not mean that he would lose important places such as the port of Itsukuhara and Mitsu on the first day of the battle, because once the Chinese army occupied the port, their army heavy equipment and follow-up troops could be continuously ashore, and the fleet around Tsushima Island that was responsible for supporting the Chinese ground forces could be transferred to Itodai Island, the Goto Islands, and even the northern part of Kyushu. This does not conform to the instructions given by the General Headquarters of the Japanese Defense Army to "do everything possible to delay the speed of the invasion."
Of course, he did not fail to take into account the importance of "persisting in resistance for a long time". He also had the best of both worlds, which was to immediately expand the size of the 106th Division of the Red Army and integrate the 8,000 Red Guards on the island into the infantry wing of the 106th Division. Treat them as cannon fodder to consume the ammunition of the Chinese army and delay time.
But he would never have imagined that this decision, which seemed very reasonable and correct, would bring unimaginable obstacles to his career as a "Japanese traitor" after the end of the war in the future.
"Didn't you say let's hold out on to resistance at Yatateyama? Why do you want us to go to the front all of a sudden? β
"Yes, we don't have any military training at all, we don't even know how to use rifles, what's the use of going to the front?"
"Secretary Xiaoshan, don't you want us to die?"
"We're dead. Who are you going to be a secretary for? β
"I still have a family to take care of, I can't die so early!"
"yes, how can we compare with you? Your family has already emigrated to China, and I don't know if there is your son among the riotous pilots who are flying planes to bomb us now? β
Yuji Koyama's face turned pale. trembling all over, it seems that he is very angry with these cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in front of him. Just now he conveyed the latest instructions from his superiors to these untouchables in the most enthusiastic tone, and in his words it was a very good news -- the organization agreed to join the glorious Japanese Red Army! For these untouchables, this is a godsend to get rid of their lowly status! Even if he died honorably, he was also an upright martyr!
But these untouchables have no appreciation. Not only did they refuse to join the revolutionary army. And he also sneered at himself, and said nonsense that his family was in China. This is something that is not at all, how can he, a small secretary of the Municipal Forestry Bureau, that is, a sesame officer at the level of section chief, have the ability to send his family to China? At most, they were sent to Nagasaki......
"Baga!" Yuji Koyama suddenly became hysterical, pulled out a katana that he didn't know where to find it and waved: "You are already glorious Red Guards, your lives have long belonged not to yourself but to the great, glorious, and correct Great Japan GCD, and it is the party's instruction to join the Red Army." Whoever dares not obey me can immediately order his summary execution! Executed for counter-revolutionary rape! Execute them all! Now is your last chance, whether to join the Red Army or not. The choice is yours! β
ββ¦β¦ We didn't have a choice, and neither did Yuji Koyama, because Seizo didn't want ordinary members of the Tsushima Red Guards to join his 106th Division, but all the members of the Red Guards joined, and Yuji Koyama was no exception! In fact, his fate was even more miserable than that of some of us, because most of us did not have any formal military training, could not use rifles, could not even drop grenades, so the troops who received us did not immediately send us into battle, but let us train behind the battle line for several days. And Yuji Koyama has received military training, he is a Red Army veteran Cao, so as soon as he arrived in the army, he was immediately sent to the battlefield. The next day we heard the news that he had given his life for his country, of course he died only a few days early, and most of us, including my father and two younger brothers, died just a few days later! However, Seizo Arisue, who gave this order to send civilians to the battlefield as cannon fodder, survived well, and later joined the Chinese GCD, became a legislator of the Legislative Yuan of the Republic of Japan, and also served as the mayor of Nagasaki City. But that was the end of his career, for some of the innocent civilians he forcibly recruited into the army survived, including a 17-year-old girl who later became Mr. Chang's favorite personal secretary. Without further ado, let's talk about what happened to me in the 106th Division of the Red Army.
According to the order of Seizo Arisue, we should have been assigned to the 113th Wing of the 113th Wing with Tanaka Seido as the wing leader. But I and a dozen other women were not accepted by the 113th Wing, and although the Tanaka Wing Captain was almost on fire when he saw me, he didn't leave me in his wing. Instead, they sent all of us to the hospitals and comfort stations directly under the division and regimental headquarters, which were actually brothels for the army. Such an organization was probably unique to the Japanese Red Army, and was later widely publicized as one of the evidence of the Japanese Red Army's crime of killing women.
But that's not entirely the case. Because Japanese society has always had no concept of chastity, especially those of us who are in the lower strata of society, we are not ashamed to be prostitutes. At that time, the officers of the 106th Division of the Japanese Red Army did not force us to serve as comfort women, and in fact there was no need to force us. Because all the women who were brought to the division headquarters agreed to serve as comfort women, including me! On the one hand, being a military prostitute is actually a very easy job, just strip your clothes and lie there, it doesn't look too dangerous, and the pay is good, much better than working as a nurse in a division hospital. On the other hand, the situation was already very clear. The fall of Tsushima is only a matter of time, and when those Chinese occupy the whole island, we will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being **** if we do not die! Since sooner or later it is this fate. Then it is better to cheapen the Japanese compatriots.
But it's unbelievable to say that the deputy director of the division organization department in charge of the comfort station actually eliminated a beauty like me. The reason is that the wounded in the division hospital need a woman like me to give them the last spiritual comfort. So I lost my easy job and came to the military hospital of the 106th Division, which was like hell...... It's a hell on earth! However, I have to thank the deputy director of the political department for my achievements today. - The above is an excerpt from the memoir of Ms. Yamaguchi Shuko, "From Captive to Parliamentarian".
The hospital of the 106th Division was a bit of hell because there were so many wounded. The hospital premises could no longer accommodate them. The open space around the headquarters of the 106th Division could only be used as a temporary ward. The day after the Battle of Tsushima began, thousands of wounded, mutilated and smelling of all sorts of foul smells were piled up in the clearing. These wounded had no medicine at all, and the completely exhausted medical officers of the 106th Division could not do anything against them, and they really could not play a role comparable to the beautiful female nurse Yamaguchi Shuko. The spirit of these wounded has completely collapsed, crying and shouting, calling the names of their relatives back home. If in another time and space, there is at least one ethereal "god" to give them some spiritual comfort. But the current day G is a godless theorist, so there is no such thing as "Kudanzaka becoming a god". Even the Yasukuni Shrine was replaced by a "Monument to the Heroes of the Revolution" that towered opposite the Akasaka Imperial Palace.
Yamaguchi and a dozen other female nurses now have to take care of the wounded - feeding them food that is completely unpalatable and doing completely useless "treatments" for them. In fact, it is just to change the gauze and send two pills I don't know what (certainly not anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics). At the same time, he also took on the mission of political work cadres, saying something completely unreliable to cheer up these dying people. The dead bodies rotted and stinked in the clearing, but no one came to clean them up, and shells and bombs continued to fall, turning the wounded into real dead, and from time to time medical personnel were shot and killed. Although it is not as good as the comfort women, compared with the Japanese officers and soldiers on the front line, being a nurse is a job that can live longer.
The difference in strength between the Chinese and Japanese armies is too great, and the squadron not only has an overwhelming firepower advantage, but their infantry also completely overwhelms the Japanese army in terms of training, actual combat experience and morale. To tell the truth, the Great Japanese Red Army Army in this time and space is not as good as the Great Imperial Japanese Army Army in history, and the investment between the two is very different. The latter received about 50% of Japan's military budget even in peacetime, while Soviet Japan's military budget was mainly used for naval construction. The development idea of the Japanese Red Army and Army is that there are many people and many people, and although the weapons and equipment are still okay, the training of recruits and the combat drills in peacetime are very sloppy (there is not enough funds, and it is not good to be sloppy). Moreover, since the World War, this Great Japanese Red Army has not really fought a major battle except for one defeat in Korea. However, their opponents, the Chinese Army and Marine Corps, have been training in the flames of world war for three full years, and have exchanged more than 2 million casualties for incomparably rich combat experience.
Therefore, the appearance of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army guarding the position should be said to be quite bad, the shooting skills were not good, and it was not calm enough in the face of overwhelming artillery bombardment and bombardment, and the casualties under the fire of the Chinese army were very large, and even the melee combat (white-knuckle combat) that the old Japanese Army was proud of was far inferior to the opponent. After a day and a night, two of the four wings of the 106th Division almost lost their combat effectiveness! Although there were senior officers of the Sue Seizo and the 106th Division who stood in the line of fire all day long, trying their best to boost the morale of the troops. Even coaxing and intimidating these troops to hold on to the end and maintain the battle line, they have indeed done their best. However, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is something they never imagined. The combination of land, sea and air firepower was almost seamless, and the infantry assault was swift and resolute. At first glance, you know that it is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for I don't know how many times!
In particular, in the first hour after the Chinese army landed, Youwei Jingsan lost most of his artillery and turned the 106th Infantry Division into a "rifle division". The battle continued until the evening of the next day, when Arimi had to order the entire line to shrink and prepare for a long resistance relying on the mountains and forests of Tsushima.
After receiving the report of the 106th Division, the headquarters of the Japanese Army Continental Defense General Army Kyushu Former Enemy Headquarters was located in Kumamoto. Suddenly, there was a gloomy and bleak atmosphere. Almost all of them sat there in a daze. The phone rang and rang, but no one answered. It turned out that the young staff officers who were full of revolutionary fighting spirit (almost all of them graduated from military academies after the victory of the Japanese Revolution in 1924) were like wilted vegetables, with their heads down and pumping cold air. Although Tsushima fell. The total annihilation of the 106th Division was expected by them, but this day should not come within a month anyway! An elite division of the fourth wing, plus 8,000 cannon fodder Red Guards, and a fortress garrison of more than 1,000 people, the total strength is 36,700 people! It shouldn't have collapsed so quickly! In just two days, he gave up control of the mountains near the port of Itsukuhara and Mitsu Town, which is equivalent to giving up the largest deep-water port and the only airport on Tsushima Island. And the 106th Division also reported more than 15,000 casualties! Among them, as many as 1000000 were killed. Serious injuries approached 5,000 ...... This is even the most revolutionary and the most motivated officers. also knew that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army far exceeded that of the Japanese army, no wonder the Soviet Red Army and the Indian Red Army met in front of them!
What made them even more frightened was that after Tsushima Island was completely suppressed, the Chinese army would probably land on Kyushu Island soon, right? Although there were nearly 400,000 people in 16 divisions of the Japanese Red Army regular army on the island of Kyushu, the Red Guards were as many as 1.6 million! But at this moment, no one was confident that they could rely on the numerical superiority of 2 million people to hold on to Kyushu Island for more than a year (this was the request of the Japanese Revolutionary Military Council) until the international situation changed.
ββ¦β¦ Now it is necessary to shrink on all fronts, abandon the relatively flat northern part of Kyushu, and withdraw the main forces into the mountainous areas of central and southern Kyushu. Only in this way can we persist in the long term. Otherwise, the main force of our Kyushu Army is very likely to follow the back of the 106th Division and be heavily damaged by the Chinese army on the beachhead of Kitakyushu! β
It was Ada, chief of staff of the Kyushu headquarters, who spoke. They have four brothers in the Anda family, three of whom are now senior cadres of the Japanese Red Army, the second Anda 16th is the division commander in Nanyang, the third Anda 19 is the deputy director of the General Armament Department of the Japanese Red Army in charge of military production, and the Anda 23rd is the fourth oldest, which is the most typical former Japanese Imperial Army and the current Japanese Red Army double elite. He graduated from the 22nd class of Lu Shi, and was a classmate of Lieutenant General He Yingqin, chief of staff of the Chinese Japanese Front. Later, he also went to the 34th issue of the Continental University, and at the time of the Japanese Revolution, he served as a staff officer under Muto Nobuyoshi, and joined the Red Army with Muto, which can be regarded as an old revolutionary. After the victory of the revolution, he was sent to study in the Soviet Union, where he spent two years at the Trotsky Military Academy, and after graduation, he served as the army attachΓ© of the Japanese Embassy in the Soviet Union and the deputy head and head of the military delegation.
So he never thought that the Japanese Red Army would be able to bargain for anything on the beachhead in Kitakyushu without air superiority. When formulating the Kyushu defense plan, he proposed to simply abandon northern Kyushu and shrink his troops to the mountainous areas in the central and southern parts of the country, so that it could be delayed for a year. Now seeing that the 106th Division suffered a big loss in Tsushima, and the old plan was reminded, I came up with this opinion.
"You can't give up Kitakyushu!" Several voices of opposition rang out almost simultaneously.
"If the beachhead in Kitakyushu is abandoned, then the three prefectures of Nagasaki, Saga, and Fukuoka will all fall, and the largest cities and half of the population of Kyushu will fall into the hands of the tyranny! Moreover, once the tyrannical branch controls the deep-water port of Kitakyushu, it will soon open up a steady stream of their troops, and the number may be as many as 2 million! Could it be that our 400,000 Red Army plus 1.6 million Red Guards, who do not have much combat effectiveness at all, can hold out for a year by relying on those small hills in south-central Kyushu? These mountains were not comparable to the mountains encountered by the riotous army in Central Asia and India, so they could not stop the offensive of the Chinese army. β
"So what? Is it possible to put the troops on the beach and let the Chinese army kill them casually? β
"We should start a decisive battle with the Chinese army in Kitakyushu!"
"By 400,000 Red Army?"
"No, we should ask Tokyo for help, so that they can shoot more troops to Kitakyushu! In addition, the Navy and Army Aviation should also go all out to attack and use the Red Army warriors (referring to the Red Army Special Attack Team) to inflict heavy damage on the Chinese Navy! This is a battle of the future and destiny of Japan, and if we win it, we will be able to recover the decline! β
"What if we defeat it?"
"An army armed with Marxist Trotskyist Takeda ideas will not fail!"
"The Indian Red Army and the Soviet Red Army do not know how much such a thing was said! See what they've all done? One has let the capital be ravaged by the tyranny, and the other has lost most of Siberia and Central Asia......"
"This is a defeatist point of view! And even if the opinion of Comrade Chief of Staff is correct, will there be any good results for us to hold on to Central and Southern Kyushu? If the Tyrants and Germans were really that powerful, it would be impossible for the Soviet Union and India to recover their decline, and what was the point of holding out until the day they failed? In this case, it is better to take advantage of the moment to have a good time, and concentrate the main force in Kitakyushu to fight with the riot, even if you don't win, you will do my duty as a Japanese man! β
Speaking of which, Anda Twenty-Three was also speechless. He knew that these young Japanese Red Army staff officers were not wrong, and the result of surviving on Kyushu Island was probably a loss, and perhaps he could hold out longer, and if he was replaced by a nation like the Soviet Union and India, he would probably choose to last without hesitation. However, this is not the case with traditional Japanese culture, and it is not to their tastes to linger, and according to their bushido spirit, they will not be able to do so if they can be as gorgeous as cherry blossoms. Of course, this kind of wisdom is not completely brainless, but it is very much in line with the living environment of this island nation. A protracted war can only be played by a mainland country with abundant resources and vast land, so how can a small island country last? Even if it barely lasts, it's a dead end, so it's better to fight vigorously, if it doesn't work...... Just surrender early and stay alive!
Anda Twenty-Three set his sights on the commander-in-chief of the Kyushu headquarters, Sadao Araki, who was the head of the Japanese imperial road faction alongside Shizaburo Masaki in history, and because he served as a military attache at the embassy in the Soviet Union in this time and space, he became the first batch of "proletarian revolutionaries and military strategists of the older generation" who defected to Japan, and he was also one of the few senior cadres in the high-level of Japan's GCD who left his family in his homeland.
The old guy's spirit is also very bad now, the two big mustaches have been completely white, his face is full of tiredness, his eyes are red, I don't know if it's because he stayed up late or secretly shed tears at night? At the point where the world revolution has reached this point, of course he knows that something is wrong, but what can he do? It is impossible for Japan to brake now, so it can only go all the way to the dark. However, one thing is certain: the vitality of the Japanese nation should be preserved as much as possible. Nearly 5 million Japanese men have now joined the Red Army, accounting for more than 20 percent of the Japanese male population...... This number is already too much, and if a few million more people die, Japan will not be destroyed but extinct!
Sadao Araki stood up: "Send a telegram to the Revolutionary Military Committee and request a decisive battle with the riot army in the Kitakyushu region!" To this end, the Kyushu headquarters needs a large number of reinforcements ......" (to be continued......
