The unit of the first division that was ordered to attack and disturb the enemy was Zhao Yong, the commander of the 102nd Regiment. He was actually transferred to the 1st Division as the regiment commander, which was a flat transfer, but the whole army knew that the officers of the Guards Division and the 1st Division were half a level higher than those of other brother units. Therefore, Zhao Yong was actually promoted to deputy division commander and has stepped into the ranks of middle and senior officers in the Youth Army. What's more, compared with the Guards Division, the First Division is more likely to be promoted because it belongs to the sortie unit. In this way, Zhao Yong's future is almost limitless......

There was also a company commander named Li Weidong who followed Zhao Yong to the 102nd Regiment. During the Protectorate War, Zhao Yong and Li Weidong were still comrades-in-arms of the same company. At that time, Zhao Yong was demoted to Li Weidong's company as a platoon commander because he was cowardly in the Second Revolution, and Li Weidong was the company's clerk at that time. As a result, their company successfully attacked Feng Guozhang's headquarters in this war, not only disrupting the military deployment of the Beiyang Army, but also capturing alive the lieutenant general and division commander of the Beiyang Army, which greatly shook Feng Guozhang's determination to continue fighting, and finally laid the foundation for the victory of the whole army......

As a survivor, Li Weidong was escorted to Wuhan Army University after the war to study infantry command. After graduating last year, he was assigned to the Hunan Provincial Military Region as a lieutenant and staff officer of the training department of the military district headquarters, and originally thought that his military career would be to mix in the provincial military region for a few years, and then he was transferred to an independent battalion of the military region as a military director, and finally in his thirties, he took off his military uniform and went to the factory and mine when he became a director of the national armed mobilization department of a certain county. As a result, because of Zhao Yong's relationship, this guy who had originally left the field army system once again returned to the field army when the war came, fighting side by side with his former comrades.

This time, Zhao Yong's task to Li Weidong was the same as that of that year, to lead his company to attack, to make trouble for the Japanese army as much as possible, and to slow down the march as much as possible......

We cannot but talk about the importance of the military's political propaganda work, at least here in the youth army, you do not see the traditional Chinese army's bad habit of treating foreign enemies like tigers and wolves. Where is Japan? Who are the Japanese? Why should we fight the Japanese? What have the Japanese done to us in history? A large number of answers immediately gave the vast number of officers and men of the Young Army and little Japan the reason and courage to play for their lives......

Zhang Zizhong, who has always looked at political work cadres as unpleasant, also gave a positive evaluation to political work cadres this time: "It is your tireless efforts that the goddess of victory will favor us so much!" ”

Li Weidong's unit is the ninth company of the 102nd regiment, which is the latest establishment method. According to the latest requirements for the formation of the Youth Army, the Youth Army is different from the border guard system in that it does not have a brigade structure. As a result, the scale of the regiment level has been upgraded, from the original one regiment and three battalions to one regiment and five battalions, and each battalion has five companies, which is the five-five system of the youth military department. Therefore, strictly speaking, the 9th Company led by Li Weidong belongs to the 2nd Battalion of the 102nd Regiment, but the battalion headquarters of the 2nd Battalion did not follow the 9th Company, but followed the 6th Company. Li Weidong was an independent commander this time, because the radio station of the Youth Army was only subordinate to the regimental level, so the pressure in his heart was not small, after all, the lives of more than 180 officers and men of the company were now on his own, and it would be false to say that he was not nervous at all.

According to the intelligence at the time of departure, the Japanese were still in Qingdao, so the 102nd Regiment was ordered to push forward as much as possible, and then find all favorable terrain to attack and kill the Japanese army, but not to delay the Japanese advance, but to provoke the Japanese army and make its entire marching column disjointed.

Li Weidong's company was not the most active company, because people like Li Weidong, who crawled out of the pile of dead, had a different understanding of war than those fanatical newcomers. He still clearly remembered how his old company commander and instructor died, so he asked the officers and men of his unit to slow down, and he had to see how other brother troops fought against the Japanese army before making a decision.

But most of the things in the world are like this, and the more you don't want to do it, the more you want it to happen.

The marching route that Li Weidong chose for his company was still relatively conservative, from Shouguang to Xiadian, which was basically not on the main road. And the road was also very smooth, but I didn't meet half of Japan until I reached the Jiaolai River. What's going on?

Many years later, when war enthusiasts lift the layers of fog and explore the truth about this battle between China and Japan, they may sigh like this: "The commander of the war may behave more stupidly than a pig in many cases." ”

General Yuheng Issei is not a qualified soldier by nature, although he is already a general, but the existence of this general itself is the biggest wonder in Japan's strange militaristic politics.

In the original history, Yuheng Yicheng was a figure who had never tasted World War I in his life. Don't look at him and became an army general six years earlier than in history, it was entirely because someone irresponsibly changed history, in history in 1919, China and Japan were good-neighborly and friendly, because of Wang Zhenyu, the traverser, the Shandong crusade caused by Yuheng Yicheng became the commander of the Shandong Dispatch Army under the recommendation of his friend Tanaka Yoshiichi, and then promoted to general in advance according to the system. Historically, Yu Heng Issei was very smart when he was young, and Suzuki Shoroku, Ugaki has been a contemporary teacher at his alma mater since graduating from elementary school, and he passed the teacher qualification examination at the age of fourteen and became a full-fledged teacher, and at the age of sixteen, he actually became an elementary school principal, and the elementary school principal in 1894 was much cooler than the president of Semi-Pheasant University, and he was only 16 years old. But soon, in order to realize his dream of becoming a soldier, he went to Tokyo to enter the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, but he went to the University two years later than Shirakawa Yoshinori and Suzuki. It was the 14th graduating class of Lu University in 1900 and was one of the so-called "saber groups". The first six graduates of the Army University were given a saber by the emperor, so this part of the people was called the "saber group", and they soared very quickly. In the era of the life-and-death struggle between the two feudal clans, he skillfully used the power of the two factions to rise to the top, and became the central figure of the army in the last years of Taisho and the early years of the Showa period. However, Yuheng Issei, who had smooth sailing in his career, did not participate in the war, which is a very rare phenomenon in the Japanese Army.

Let's compare Japan's previous foreign wars, starting with the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, or the Sino-Japanese War. Ugaki is a native of Okayama, and his promotion in the army was originally behind the Choshu people who controlled the army, but he met the first noble man in his life: Okaichi Nosuke (later Minister of War), he was assigned to the Himeji Brigade as a non-commissioned officer candidate after graduation, and Okaichi Nosuke was a captain at that time, and he was very appreciative of him, and later when the Sino-Japanese war began, Ugaki was sent to the Hiroshima base camp as a lieutenant of the Guards Wing, and he witnessed the people of the same battalion constantly going to the battlefield every day in the camp. Nai mustered up the courage to meet the deputy chief of staff, Kawakami Caoliu, and Kawakami comforted him with kind words, saying that he would definitely send you, don't be in a hurry. As a result, they were all about to make peace, but there was still nothing to do with him, he met Kawakami again, and Kawakami taught him: The war in the east is not this time, concentrate on studying, and it will definitely be your turn next time. After the war, he entered the Army University, and Okaichi Nosuke happened to be an instructor, and when he graduated, he was sent to study in Germany. What followed was the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, and Kawakami Caoliu really didn't lie to our Yuheng classmates, and sure enough, the war in the East was more than this time, Yexi! Woo Heng Issei, who returned from studying in Germany, was immediately ready to show his strength, but the result was that during the entire Russo-Japanese War, he successively served as the commander of the Wonsan Reserve Brigade, the staff officer of the 1st Reserve Division, the staff officer of the Korean Garrison Army, and the staff officer of the 1st Army. To be precise, it is the kind that has become a reserve army, and can only wait for the front-line troops to die before they can go on their wheels. In the end, Yuheng Kazunari's dream of crisscrossing the battlefield could not be realized, because in 1931, he planned a coup d'état because of the March Incident (in March 1931, later Class A war criminals Hashimoto Shingoro and Okawa Shuaki planned a coup d'état to promote Ugaki as prime minister. Later, although Ugaki himself stopped the coup d'état, it is not clear to what extent he was involved. He was forced to resign and was put into the reserve on June 17. He regretted that he missed the later war of aggression against China, so he was naturally not qualified to become a war criminal and has been active in post-war Japanese politics.

But now that these have all changed, Yuheng Issei actually got the opportunity to lead his troops to the battlefield, and he didn't have time to thank Amaterasu Okami and had to think about how to fight.

In fact, if it is only a military issue, Yuheng Yicheng will not have to worry about it, even if his military literacy is no longer qualified, it will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Imperial Army. Because, like the Youth Army, the commander of the Japanese army only needs to decide on the goal of the campaign, and he does not need to think about how to achieve the goal next, and the staff organs at all levels will break down this goal into various production lines, just like the foundry factories in the coastal areas of China in later generations. In other words, even if a pig is changed to be the commander, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army will not be affected, and it has the flavor of state-owned monopolies in later generations.

What really annoys Yuheng Yicheng is political issues, and later military historians agree on this point that Yuheng Yicheng's biggest problem is that he is too smart, thinks too many and too many details, and calculates too many political accounts......

So by the time Li Weidong and they advanced to the Jiaolai River, the army of Little Japan had not yet driven out of Qingdao. Their commander, Your Excellency, is still at war with the Celestials......

However, this is not to blame Yu Hengyi for being a person, it is true that the Tokyo side has not yet reached an agreement on the scale of the war. Although the faction led by Prime Minister Hara Kei reluctantly agreed to send troops, they insisted that the war was only a punitive action, and that it was sufficient to disrupt the pace of China's reunification and rise, and not to provoke sensitive British and American powers and not to provoke diplomatic interference. However, Tanaka Yoshiichi's ambition was obviously not here, and after Japan actually sent troops, Tanaka Yoshiichi began to advocate the "theory of world conquest". According to his intentions, the scale of the war in Shandong should be expanded, not only in Shandong, but also in the southeast region to organize an invincible imperial army to land, and finally seek the lifeline of the empire of Manchuria in the chaos...... So Yuheng Issei received two orders from Tokyo, one was the order to postpone the dispatch of troops personally issued by Prime Minister Hara Kei, and the other was the order to make a decisive attack from Tanaka, which was a fundamentally contradictory order that made Yuheng Issei dizzy for a while
