Chapter 113 goes south (4)
After deciding on the plan to fight the enemy on the southeast road first, Yang Zhen led his troops to move towards the preset battlefield without any hesitation. In addition to the snow that was not deep in waist during the march, the unique mountain wind in the North Manchuria Mountains that Yang Zhen encountered for the first time also brought great pain to the army. Fortunately, under the leadership of the experienced old Anti-Japanese United Army, although he suffered a lot in the short journey, the troops finally arrived at the preset battlefield safely without any danger.
Yang Zhen personally was not at ease with the terrain of the preset battlefield reported by Dong Ping. After arriving at the preset battlefield, Yang Zhen personally led the only three combat staff in the army to survey the terrain between the Alzhan Xigou River and the Alzhan Beigou River in detail. After looking at the terrain, a large stone hanging in Yang Zhen's heart finally fell to the ground.
Yang Zhen was so satisfied with the terrain from Guaimao to the mountain to the preset battlefield. Although the terrain in this area is not the best terrain for ordinary commanders, it is the most appropriate for Yang Zhen’s combat plan.
After Yang Zhen led his troops to the preset battlefield, he suffered a lot. The Eighth Regiment of the Fourth Division, which also set out from Xiaoshanzuizi to clear the mountain, suffered no less than Yang Zhen, and even more.
The command of the 3rd brigade of the 8th Regiment of the South East Road was fully in charge of the commander of the 8th Regiment of the Japanese Army in the South Road, and the captain of the 8th Regiment of the Japanese Army was full of complaints about the current situation and the plan formulated by the brigade leader. Of course, this was because he did not know the plan, and it was not formulated by the 8th Regiment, but was formulated and implemented by Sasaki, the commander-in-chief of the Suppression, to the No. 1 Second Lieutenant General.
After another day of march, the troops were about to cross the Alzanxigou River and cross the Miaolingzi line to enter the mountainous area. Major Kitano Takatsu's resentment became heavier and heavier. Along the way, Major Kitano and the Third Battalion suffered a lot.
Kitano Takatsu took off his cotton boots and sent his almost stiff feet, which were frozen by the snow and frozen in the boots, to the campfire for warmth. The warm fire seemed to dispel the coldness and fatigue that had been along the way, making the Kitano Major moan comfortably.
It’s no wonder that Kitano Takatsu lost his composure. After all, in the severe cold of minus forty degrees Celsius, not everyone will feel comfortable when traveling a long distance in the snow-covered terrain.
But as he became more and more warm, Kitano was increasingly dissatisfied with the plan for this suppression. This suppression was no different from the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Regiment when they were cleared out in Xiajiang.
The battle was fought by the Manchu army and the Independent Guard. In addition to supervising the battle, the soldiers of the regular field division of the Imperial Army were trying to find ways to make a big profit in this eradication.
The mountains of North Manchuria are really rich, and all kinds of mountain delicacies and furs are popular in the local area. If they were not for the red pine trees that were too bulky and difficult to carry, I am afraid these Osaka soldiers would not mind sweeping away all the red pine forests they saw.
However, this clearance of Dunhua area made Major Kitano extremely dissatisfied from the beginning. The map issued before the operation only indicated the terrain from Qinggouzi to south of Xiaoshanzuizi, but there was a blank to the north.
After entering the combat area, it was even more difficult to see a village because of Sasaki's blockade policy. Without a village, there would be no people, and without people, there would be no oil and water. Even if you have to rest, you have to set up a tent that is much less warm than the house. This made the third brigade extremely dissatisfied, including Kitano. The only thing that made these officers and soldiers feel a little relieved was that these bulky tents did not have to be carried by themselves.
Looking at the fire and moaning comfortably, Kitano Takatsu was flattered by the wing commander Yamada, the wing commander sent by the wing captain to supervise the battle, saying, "Master, the wing commander, this time the clearance of the mountainous areas in the northern Dunhua area, the wing commander will give you the heaviest burden. According to our experience in clearing out those anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements in the Xiajiang area, this is almost a war merit to your hands. When the battle is over, your promotion is just around the corner."
Although he was extremely despised by this greedy and timid Major, Captain Yamada, a native of Osaka, could only patience the flattery of this second son, the second son of the president of Osaka's second largest bank.
Although as a confidant of the team leader, I don’t have to support the stinky team leader’s stinky feet. But my father is a department manager under the team leader’s father’s company. Even if I don’t have to think about my father’s future, so Captain Yamada can only be patient and shabby.
When Kitano Takatsu couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard Captain Yamada, who had always been proud of himself, he seemed a little proud. You should know that Captain Yamada has never taken several captains seriously because he was the confidant of the team leader.
Especially after it was reported that the corps captain was about to be promoted to the brigade commander and promoted to the rank of general, he was even more arrogant. Except for the 8th Regiment, the corps of Dayouyi, others were useless in character.
The reason why Yamada Kaikou was sent to the Third Battalion by the corps captain made Major Kitano Takatsu uncomfortable and even more hostile. Before this battle, the corps captain sent Captain Yamada, who was the main combat staff of the corps, to the First Battalion, which clearly showed distrust of the Third Battalion. Today, the Yamada staff officer said these words, which was a typical example of surrendering to himself, which made Kitano Takatsu a little proud.
Listening to the heavy breathing of Manchu soldiers outside the tent, he was grunting and clearing the snow in order to clear enough open space for the Japanese camp to press the tent, thinking that he would enter the mountain tomorrow, Kitano Takatsu, who was just proud, frowned slightly and said to the squadron leader beside him: "Order all the posts tonight to be held by the Manchu army, and all the imperial soldiers must rest well and prepare for tomorrow's entry into the mountain. Order the artillery squadron and heavy machine gun squadron to check the pack horses. Tell the Manchu army and let them hurry up and clear a passable route tomorrow."
"Damn Zhang Guangcailing, the weather is so cold, the snow is so thick. There is not even a place for this hundred and eighty miles. I can't find a girl in Hua to relieve my boredom. It's better to have a Xiajiang area, the girl in Hua is so beautiful. And the Russian women are even more exciting." After saying that, he smiled lewdly.
The Major Kitano mentioned Miss Hua, who was more excited than the clearing operation that was about to officially enter the mountain tomorrow, and he looked like a hungry wolf.
Captain Yamada felt a deep feeling of contempt for the fact that he did not consider how to command the troops to fight before the battle, but was thinking about Miss Hua here.
No matter how despised he was, Captain Yamada also knew that if it weren't for the removal of Major Kitano in the Shimoe area that made the captain feel worried, his combat staff member of the regiment would not have been sent to the Third Battalion to supervise the battle.
This Kitano Grande's performance in Shimoe is not so much a battle, but rather a robbery. Within his sight, as long as anything slightly valuable is worth only one yen, even if it is worth only one yen, the second son of the president of the second largest commercial bank of Osaka, the dignified Japanese Imperial Army officer. He does not bother to be tired, but to be less money.
From fur to ginseng, from wood to jade on cigarette holders used by the Manchus, and even the silver combs hanging on the old man's body, this master must rob anyone of the meeting. If the captain of the regiment was not in charge of the third brigade, this guy would even want to vacate the horses carrying shells in order to pull the valuable wood.
This guy's performance in women is even more outrageous. His good appetite is that the few who commanded the Manchukuo Army to cooperate with the Fourth Division to fight in the suppression of the 6th Division, which was known as the Beast Army, participated in the battle of the Sixth Division's attack on Nanjing, and several Manchukuo Army advisers who were massacred afterwards had to give him a thumbs up and say that he was strong.
This guy treats women without any hesitation, both young and old. From old women in their sixties and seventies to underage children, whether they are prostitutes or good women, as long as they are women, they are within the range of preferences of this guy.
Even if this woman is old and can't even leave, the ugly can scare the child to cry, and the dirty ones can even accept it. Even if he has played with his subordinates, he will not be afraid of it and will still go.
This guy has been cleared out in the Xiajiang area for several months. No one can know a exact number except himself.
What you all know is that after months of cleaning up in Xiajiang area, this guy has spent most of his energy on finding women to vent his own venting. The other half is on how to make money by doing business. Spending time in brothels is much more than spending time in military camps. And those who really stay in combat are probably nothing.
After entering the mountainous areas in the northern Dunhua this time, Sasaki went to the Lord's plan to return home and merge the households, and it was not crowded. This guy was rare to have not touched a woman for several days. This guy who had been holding it in for several days, looked at the posture on his face. If there was a female rabbit in front of him, this guy could catch it and rape it three times.
However, it is very annoying to this guy's character, but Yamada can only suppress his inner contempt. As long as this guy can stand up to his body, it is his own business. Moreover, for the Japanese army, who always uses rape and robbery as a means of morale, the things that this Kitano Major did are normal. Since even the military headquarters doesn't care much about this matter, Captain Yamada can't make any mistakes.
However, Yamada Kaigu was very dissatisfied with the fact that Kitano Major handed over the warning mission to the Manchukuo Army: "Your Excellency, it may be a bit inappropriate to hand over the night warning mission to the Manchukuo Army. We have crossed the swamp and will enter the mountain tomorrow. In order to prevent us from entering the mountain, the bandits in the forest may send a small group of troops to adopt the tactic of night attacks on us. It is very unsafe to let the Manchukuo Army be responsible for the warning."
"There is a saying in China that is that if one is not a race, his heart will be different. We will hand over the safety of the Imperial Army officers and soldiers to the Manchu army. Let's not talk about whether there are Chinese people in these Manchu army. If any of them have a different intention, what should we do if the imperial officers and soldiers secretly take advantage of the sleeping opportunity of the imperial officers and soldiers?"
"Also, once those anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements attacked at night, it is worth discussing whether the quality of the Manchukuo Army can not be given the bandits' chances and protecting the imperial soldiers. So, for the safety of the imperial soldiers, I hope you can change your decision."
In response to Yamada's opposition, Kitano Takatsu waved his hand and said, "Yamada, you're too worried. The Great Japanese Imperial Army has a brigade of troops here. According to the experience of China's combat, our brigade's troops are enough to defeat a main division of the China's army."
"With so many elite imperial army here, even the so-called elite of the Central Army of the Chinese Army are not afraid of them, let alone those bandits with poor equipment? Don't worry, our Japanese Imperial Army is powerful, and those bandits dare not come to attack at night."
"You know, we are the elites of the formal field division of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, not those independent garrisons. Even if there are dissidents in the Manchu army, they do not have the courage to rebel openly."
"The past two days of marching in a place with no waist, the soldiers are exhausted. They will enter the mountain tomorrow. If the soldiers cannot rest well, they will not have the physical strength to march. Captain Yamada, do you not trust the new Manchukuo Army created by Lieutenant General Sasaki?"
Regarding Kitano Takatsu's insistence, recalling the explanation from the team leader before he came, Yamada opened his mouth to speak out, but chose to remain silent.
Before Yamada opened its mouth to come to the Third Battalion, the captain of the regiment Kenichi Akihiro repeatedly told him to pay close attention to the actions of the Kitano Major and take over the command of the Third Battalion when necessary. Don’t be afraid of him making mistakes before entering the mountain, and the bigger the mistake, the better. As long as he makes a mistake, you can find an opportunity to replace him.
Knowing that the captain of the regiment said this, he even had the idea of changing the generals in the first battle because the captain of the regiment was extremely disappointed with the major. However, due to his strength behind him, he could not openly replace him, so he could only use the method of secretly sending Chen Cang to make mistakes, and then he took over the command.
Although the grandson's father was just a businessman, he was the president of one of the most famous consortiums in Osaka. Not to mention his wealth, one of his uncles was also a major general in the General Staff Headquarters. He also has a lot of connections in both the political and business circles.
His mother's family is even more prominent, and many people hold important positions in the political and military circles. In addition to his uncle being a lieutenant general, there is also an uncle who is a lieutenant general in the army. Another uncle has repeatedly held important positions in the cabinet. Collusion between officials and businessmen and nepotism are more popular in Japan and is no less than that in China.
Although this major is not afraid, the forces behind him, let alone the corps commander, even the lieutenant general of the division commander wanted to move him. Unless he made an intolerable big mistake, he had to be right. Thinking of these, Yamada opened his mouth and closed his mouth.
Yamada understood very well that this time he went to the Third Battalion to supervise the battle, and the corps captain gave him a chance. He was just a commoner, without the help of his prominent family background. If he wanted to climb up, he could only seize all the opportunities he could seize.
As for whether he offended the president and son, would have a certain impact on his father's future and even ruin his father's future, Yamada couldn't take care of it. He believed that as long as he could be a general, all his father's losses would be compensated.
Yamada opened his mouth and closed his mouth, and the other squadron leaders were even more at ease. After all, in the cold cold of more than 40 degrees below zero, no one wanted to check the watch in the middle of the night, and no one was afraid of being frozen. The weather was so cold that leaving the bonfire for a while, it would make people feel like they were about to be frozen.
I don’t know if Yamada’s mouth was a crow’s mouth or a iron mouth magical calculation. The later development of the matter was indeed predicted by him. Just when the lonely Major Kitano was unable to find a woman to sleep with. When he was asleep for half a minute, a sudden burst of gunfire suddenly woke up the guy who had been pistoling at the pornographic magazine in the middle of the night.
Wake up by the gunshots, not thinking that the opponents hidden in the mountains and forests had the courage to attack him at this moment, but thought that the rebels appeared in the Manchu army who were on guard, Kitano Takatsu immediately pulled out his pistol. Despite being wearing a single shirt, he rushed out of his tent barefoot and hid in the shadows, and quickly found a hidden object for himself. It was not until the gunshots completely fell, confirmed that there was nothing abnormal around him, and heard the sound of his subordinates calling him, he carefully crawled out.
