Chapter 667: Studying the Sichuan Army

Not only Liu Xiang, many senior Chinese generals were imprinted on the strength of the Japanese army.

Even if the Sichuan Army won a lucky battle.

In Huangshan, discussing the next stage, the two war zone commanders of the Central Plains defense never dreamed that the major casualties of the 10th Army and the large-scale capture of Songhu were recaptured and burned by Sichuan, which had a greater impact on the Japanese army than expected.

The security divisions that were originally scheduled to be dispatched to China had to select retired veterans of their age and add them to the permanent divisions and special divisions.

The funds obtained from the robbery have been planned for use and only need to be transported back to the local area.

I had to pay for the raw materials ordered by the foreign company with a strong rice grains, and I had to demolish the east wall and repair the west wall.

Yan Toshiro, who was originally used to replace Matsui Ishien, flew to Shanghai early.

He didn't dare to replace Matsui Ishien, who was venting his anger in Nanjing in advance, because it was not only the Japanese Hanazhong Front Army who was full of affliction.

Even the army officers in the base camp clamored to make the Chinese pay the price.

Yan Junliu was as strong as a cow before he was 25 years old and loved sports.

During the Russo-Japanese War, he served in General Nogi's Third Army. During the battle to attack Jiguanshan outside Lushun, the artillery lieutenant Shinji Hata was shot through his lungs by a Russian bullet. Since then, his body has become thinner and thinner, so those who don't know him think he is an addict.

Of course, this injury also won him the first medal in his military career - the fifth-level gold medal of the Medal of the Medal, laying the foundation for his future success.

Historically, in February 1938, the Central China Expeditionary Army, led by former commander Matsui Ishione, created the "Nanjing Massacre" that shocked the world after invading Nanjing. Under pressure from domestic and foreign public opinion, the Japanese base camp had to withdraw Matsui Ishione and took over as the commander of the Central China Expeditionary Army by Hata Shunrok.

The reason why he flew to Shanghai this time was to replace Matsui Ishien, but it was not because of the Nanjing Massacre. Faced with the terrible incident of the defeat of the 10th Army in Taihu and the raid of Shanghai, the Massacre was no longer a problem.

The commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Atsugo, was also killed in the Battle of Wuxing.

Following him was a long list of fallen generals, with four Major Generals alone.

Major General Shigefuji Chiaki, the captain of Shigefuji Detachment.

The 19th Infantry Brigade, the brigade commander is Major General Caochang Chenye

6th Division Infantry Brigade 11, Brigade Commander Major General Tokutaro Tsushii

Even after the 30th infantry brigade commander of Sasaki, the brigade commander, was transported to Shanghai by Major General Sasaki, he died in the wounded hospital because of a Chinese army raiding Shanghai.

As for the colonel, after three major battles, there were 16 colonels who died, especially the damn Sichuan Army, who must not be humanitarian.

In Shanghai, the most advanced wounded soldiers hospital in the Japanese concession was raided, killing a large number of casualties officers from the Battle of Songhu and Nanjing.

This price is unprecedented and unprecedented in the history of the Japanese Army.

Poison gas bombs fight each other and kill soldiers, when these tactics that violate international conventions fall on one's own heads.

Facing the loss, the Japanese army also felt heartbroken.

Even in the Battle of Lushunkou, where corpses were piled up, the Japanese army only suffered 59,000 casualties.

The Battle of Lushunkou was strong and the country was sufficient. It would be fine if it was a European country. Such a thing happened in the weak Republic of China, and it was damaged by the Sichuan Army, which even the Central Army of the Republic of China looked down upon.

This number far exceeds the Battle of Shanghai that has been fiercely fought for more than three months.

Matsui Ishione knew that he had made an unforgivable mistake.

Every day, he stared at the bloody eyes and watched the Japanese division represented by Tani Shouo and Shigeji Momatsu informed him of free activities, and unscrupulously massacred Chinese prisoners of war and civilians to vent his anger.

However, due to the two organized retreats, Nanjing evacuated a large number of factories and schools, and even the civilians had been moved most of them, and even the encirclement was weak. Many Chinese troops, which seemed to be in their pockets, rushed south and westward.

In order to provide shelter for Chinese refugees who were unable to retreat, foreigners staying in Nanjing decided to establish a "Nanjing Security Zone" in the model of Father deBesange establishing a safe zone in Nanshi in Shanghai.

They established a private organization called the "Nanjing Security Zone International Committee" and elected Siemens Foreign Service's representative to Nanjing John Rabe as chairman.

The Japanese army, who were red-eyed, rushed to the safe area to massacre.

It caused an uproar internationally.

Matsui Ishigen has not finished venting, and even the base camp does not urge Yan Junliu to go to Nanjing to hand over the work at this time. He can only make preparations for the next step.

After letting the navy cooperate with the newly transported 16th Division to attack the empty Hangzhou.

The same reason was called, and I did not go to take over Tanisuo's Inaba Shiro in time.

We began to discuss the next battle plan for the Imperial Army to advance north and south.

"Mr. Inaba, the 3rd, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 11th Divisions have arrived in Shanghai. Are you ready to make achievements for the Emperor?"

"Your Excellency Commander, I am always ready, even if I sacrifice my life for the Emperor!"

"Yoxi, I heard that you have been studying the Sichuan Army recently?"

"Yes, Commander, the Sichuan Army has shamed the 6th Division and also caused the Imperial Army to suffer unprecedented losses. Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui, like a poisonous snake, lurking in the chaotic military sequence of China. When the Imperial Army was proud of landing in Jinshanwei and the Chinese army was defeated, it suddenly emerged from the west bank of Taihu Lake and bit my 6th Division and the 10th Army."

On the west bank of Taihu Lake, until now, veterans of the 6th Division and the 114th Division who have experienced this battle are still considered a nightmare.

Tani Shouo sent him a telegram, and according to the base camp's intention, he prevented him from taking over the post in advance, hoping that the free activities in Nanjing could boost the morale of soldiers.

This is his final contribution to the 6th Division as the division commander.

"Then do you think, how should we destroy the Sichuan Army?"

"Your Excellency Commander, my subordinates boldly speculate that the next military goal of the Imperial Army should be to advance north and south to capture the heartland of the Central Plains?"

Yan Jun nodded six times.

According to the lieutenant general level of Inaba Shiro's 6th Division, he did not intend to keep this information confidential.

What's more, after the two Japanese troops advanced against each other, the two sides of the country were connected by a city, which was more conducive to the public security management of the captured areas and the logistics support of the army advancing westward.

This can definitely be seen with the quality of a division commander.

"My staff department has an intelligence officer named Eiko Yamada. She was sent by the commander of the Kuaigu Division to Feng Tiankui as his concubine for eight years. The order was rushed. After the assassination of Feng Tiankui failed, she was in Shanghai. It was not until I took over assassination of the Sixth Division that she was transferred to the Sixth Division. She made a suggestion, which I think is worthy of attention!"

“What suggestions?”

"Mobilize the two frontal troops in the north and south as soon as possible to advance. Don't give Feng Tiankui and Liu Xiang time to train troops. Mobilize all forces to be kind to our great Japanese Empire in the Republic of China. Mobilize Feng Tiankui's troops and even Liu Xiang's troops to concentrate the roots, concentrate all the forces that can be mobilized, and annihilate them!"
