"Yaga! The red deer of the Fourth Division are simply a disgrace to the Empire! ”

The commander of the Fifth Division, Yamada Kiyoshi, stared at the battle report sent from the front and was angry, and after a day of fighting, there was no progress, not to mention, most of the Fourth Division, which was supposed to come over for reinforcements, actually remained in place and did not move.

Especially the damn 8th Wing, it was clear that they were very close to the battlefield, but they shirked for various reasons, and they hadn't reached half of the day's journey until now.

From the adjutant and lieutenant officers to the military Cao Datou soldiers, either "seeking medical treatment when sick" or "recurrence of old injuries", the field hospital was almost overwhelmed, and out of concern about the physical condition of the soldiers, a captain who had studied medicine for a few days before joining the army actually went to the hospital to sit in the hospital in person, and a series of mysterious operations were really shocking.

This angered all the officers and men of the Fifth Division who were desperately working on the front line, and while scolding, Yamada Seiichi also reported the other party's various bad behaviors to Yamashita Fumi, asking for severe punishment for those who defaced their duties.

Yamashita Fengwen is also quite a headache, who doesn't know the virtues of this fourth division? Stealing and playing tricks is also unbearable, I took these guys to participate in the Battle of Nomenkan in Northeast China back then, not to mention how bad that experience was.

The key is that they are very united internally, even the commander-in-chief of Terauchi was one of the division commanders of this army before, and Terauchi Shouichi, as a native of Osaka, attaches great importance to his hometown troops, and he can clean up wherever he wants.

But you have to scold, a harsh telegram was photographed at the headquarters of the Fourth Division, the content... It's nothing more than a lesson in accusations against them.

"Hey... Wow Kari Masida... Hey..."

This is not over, the call from the Southern Army Headquarters directly to Taunggyi, and on the phone, Shouichi Terauchi scolded unceremoniously, and Masaro Baba, who was the commander of the division at the time, sweated non-stop, and kept nodding into the microphone like a grandson.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely urge the following to reinforce as soon as possible, hey!" Masaro Baba wiped the cold sweat from his head and put down the phone with palpitations.

"Damn... It's a disgrace to the face of the empire! ”

Finally finished being scolded, Masahiro Baba was full of anger and had nowhere to go, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, pacing back and forth in the headquarters with his hands behind his back.

There's no way, who let him take over this hot potato, the Fourth Division is basically a transfer from top to bottom, and the successive division commanders can't solve this problem.

"Send a report to the 8th Wing and the 37th Wing immediately, and they must rush to Nandu River within two days, otherwise let them apologize to His Majesty the Emperor themselves!"

"Hey!"

Seeing that the division commander looked furious, the herald did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ran out to convey the order.

To say that the reason why the Fourth Division is so famous, in addition to some of their own mysterious operations, may be more from the malicious investigation of their compatriots.

The 4th Division was recruited in Osaka, which was famous for its commerce in Japan, hence the nickname "Merchant Division".

Since most of the soldiers were made up of vegetable vendors and itinerant merchants in Osaka, the 4th Division was tainted with the habit of vendors, and often liked to bargain with their commanders for terms and conditions when fighting, and even cheated and slipped out of their work.

At that time, the Japanese army divisions and regiments would be called by one-word codes, and most of them used words with martial spirits, such as "Yong" in the Second Division, "Wu" in the Ninth Division, and "Dragon" in the 54th Division.

But what is interesting is that when the Osaka Fourth Division was formed, it named itself by its code name: "Yodo". You know, the use of this word "Dian" can be described as very unique.

The word "Yodo" comes from the Yodogawa River, which runs through Osaka's most prosperous Umeda business district. Therefore, in the eyes of the officers and men of the Fourth Division, the word "Dian" not only has a local flavor, but also has an auspicious omen of "attracting wealth and entering treasures". This Japanese division is indeed very different, and at the beginning of its formation, it took into account its "homesickness" and "dream of making a fortune", but it did not have any "martial spirit".

However, it would be a big mistake to think that this Osaka Division is a straw bale, but in fact, the Fourth Division is also the real main force in the Japanese army, and it is not easy to deal with at all.

The Osaka Division was formed very early, and it was one of the first seven permanent divisions during the Meiji Restoration, and it was considered an elite unit with "no small origin" in the Japanese army.

At the same time, they are also one of the 17 first-class standing divisions formed by the Japanese army before the invasion of China, and belong to the first division of the Japanese Army. Therefore, the Osaka division is not only old in the Japanese series, but its combat effectiveness should logically also belong to the first echelon.

The reason why he was later scolded by his own people was first of all because the Osaka Division was exposed for reselling military supplies during the war, which broke the image of the "heroic and good at fighting" Japanese army and the hearts of the Japanese high-level.

In addition, the Osaka Division is not as brainless and fanatical as other divisions and regiments, and it will engage in some kind of "Banzai Charge" at every turn, to put it bluntly, no matter the officers and men of the division, they are very desperate for their lives!

However, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Osaka Division, they are not for fun, let alone for their own pockets. After all, Osaka was at the forefront of Japan's "Meiji Restoration", where the people were rich early and the people's wisdom was enlightened early.

And the **** fanatics in the Kanto region of Japan, especially in Hokkaido, who have never seen much of the world, as long as they are fooled by the Japanese high-level are like being beaten with "chicken blood". The people of the Osaka Division are very calm, they know that they must do their best when they get rich, but if it is a war, especially a battle that is not certain, they will never die!

Therefore, they were not fooled by the "black card of the sky", as for the war, it is the business of those Japanese politicians and the emperor themselves, who will really fight hard? After all, we still have to go back alive to continue doing business and make a lot of money.

But then again, since the rumors exist, there is some truth to them, and the Fourth Division has performed brilliantly in the war, but it is more of a "sneaky trick"

During the Battle of Xuzhou, when the Chinese army retreated, they encountered a "strange Japanese army", and when they encountered the Chinese army, they did not have the slightest intention of pursuing, and even burned food on both sides of the road, and later learned that this "strange Japanese army" was a certain detachment of the Osaka Division.

After that, the Osaka Division was transferred to support the Battle of Nomenhan, but they were repeatedly delayed on the way, and although the orders from their superiors were conveyed early, the soldiers were slow to move. And the officers and soldiers inside the division claimed to be suffering from strange diseases and asked to stay behind, which provoked the anger of the Kwantung Army Command, is it so easy for the Imperial Army of our Japanese Empire to get sick?

Under pressure from his superiors, one of the Wing Commanders personally sat in the infirmary to see what strange illness the group was suffering from......
