Three days!

The two armies of the entire 108th Division were harassed by the hateful "little mosquito" in an uninterrupted and almost stubborn manner for three days.

I originally thought that the 'dysentery' disease that lasted for one or two days would improve after taking the medicine, but the effect may be, not much.

And later, the reason why those unlucky guys with diarrhea was not too much was that even the Japanese infantry at the bottom believed that it was because the intestines were empty, and it was definitely not that any medicine had any effect.

How virulence is this nameless fruit produced in Taihang Mountains for moistening the intestines and laxation? The subsequent battle reports of the 108th Division can prove it.

The 108th Division had a 20,000 army of 20,000 people, because of this sudden 'dysentery' disease, 1,200 pack horses were extremely weak and still unable to walk normally when they finally evacuated. Horses could be killed, but people could not be killed with one shot. In the end, nearly a thousand people were lying on stretchers and being carried out of the vast mountains by humans. Half of these soldiers, commonly known as "severe illness", were ordered to retire from active service that year because their intestinal function was permanently damaged, and the food was slightly cold, and it was a daily routine to pull the stomach every three minutes.

In addition, there were more than a thousand Japanese infantrymen who had psychological abnormalities, and their specific manifestations were that their faces turned pale when they smelled the stinky smell and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably.

In their original words: When you are awake and have healthy limbs and can control yourself, but cannot control your anus, whether you are lying, sitting, or lying down, you can only let the uncontrolled heat flow fill your crotch, smelling smelly, and even the people around you, who are usually close as close as brothers, throw their eyes at you, do you know how broken your heart is?

The Japanese soldiers may be cruel, but they also need dignity in front of their own tribes. However, the Chinese used an unknown poison to step on their dignity in front of their compatriots.

No matter how they clean it afterwards, the smell of stinking can never be removed, and the feeling of the butt, thighs and even heels being wrapped in feces will accompany you for life.

So much so that the proportion of Japanese troops in the 108th Division surrendered in future battles is much higher than that of other divisions. The main reason is that they are threatened to throw them into the cesspool. It is really a terrifying feeling that they no longer want to repeat it. Compared with this, the honor of the Imperial Japanese Army, let’s forget it!

Using a certain regiment to know this, it may be simpler and more straightforward: "Look at the so-called honor of the Imperial Japanese Army is not as good as a piece of shit!"

It's okay. The lack of sleep for three consecutive days completely depressed the morale of the infantrymen of the 108th Division. Many letters written by soldiers expressed their boredom and dissatisfaction with the battle.

The 108th Division, which originally planned to join forces with the Chinese through the mountains and the Second Mixed Brigade 40 kilometers away, made an incredible but rational enough decision after a mountain pass 20 kilometers away from Wuxiang and two infantry regiments of the Chinese army suffered a battle and lost nearly a thousand people.

With the approval of Xia Xiong Yuan, the 108th Division, which lost only more than 1,000 people and more than 1,000 pack horses, was actually about to withdraw, commonly known as running away.

But Xiong Yuan was not Xia Jiba's military order. According to the combat plan of the Front Army Command, the combat mission of the 108th Division was to invade Yushe and Wuxiang, mobilize the core of the 80th Army's garrison, implement the "Three Lights Policy", and destroy all the personnel, villages and materials in the area.

Now, the 108th Division has stayed in Yushe, Wuxiang and other places for more than 5 days, burning down more than 70 villages and 15 forests.

Because they could not find anyone, and in order to prevent the Chinese from attacking at night, Major General Nakano, the 25th Infantry Brigade, personally ordered the burning of mountains in the mountains around the camp.

Unfortunately, some areas of Taihang Mountain have quite a few mountains, but the vegetation is not very dense, and it is now May, and the shrubs and trees are all green. This man-made wildfire did not really burn much, basically a few pieces of blackened symbolically.

However, there is no war merit to write, and the 108th Division can only include it in the battle report.

What this means is that our division's combat mission has been completed.

Moreover, the 108th Division only carried seven days of supplies. The original plan to obtain supplies through war and fight was completely invisible after the Chinese people's moving retreat. There was a poison that caused dysentery in the water and food was short of food. What reason would the 108th Division not run away?

If you don’t run away, are you waiting for the Chinese to recover and come to surround them?

But to be honest, few people know that the real reason that prompted Xiong Yuan to make up his mind to run away was that the two infantry regiments in Yamaguchi and the 108th Division were actually organized by the 921st Division of the 80th Army. Not only did the Chinese who had been harassed the 108th Division for three consecutive days, but there was also a shadow of the Four-Entertainment Regiment hidden in the tactics.

When he thought of these two old opponents, Xiong Yuan felt something was wrong.

The Four Lines Regiment has not appeared since the war started, and there are no senior spies lurking in the Second World War Command of China. No one knows where the regiment is transferred.

What do they want to harass them so hard? Moreover, the 80th Army is gathering its main force to fight with the 16th Division, why are there two infantry regiments suddenly appearing here?

The Second Mixed Brigade was fighting fiercely, with more than 20,000 Chinese troops and 10,000 elite troops in the empire fighting hard. It was said that in just four days, both sides had nearly 3,000 casualties.

The bloody battlefield made the headquarters of the Telecom Front, which was rare for the proud Major General Yamashita, requested sufficient air support.

On the battlefield with an area of ​​3 square kilometers, the North China Front Army Air Force dispatched nearly 100 bombers and dropped more than 60 tons of bombs.

This may not be worth mentioning for the density of hundreds of fighter aircraft groups on the Western battlefield, but it is extremely rare for the Chinese battlefield, and even the 16th Division has not received such strong air support.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the more lively the second mixed brigade team fights, the more guilty Xiong Yuan feels.

All of this seems to indicate that the Chinese have any bad ideas about his 108th Division.

For example, to make a sound from the east to the west?

So, the two sleepy infantry corps gathered their last strength to attack the defense line where more than 5,000 Chinese soldiers were deployed. Xia Xiong Yuan decisively issued a military order to retreat first and then cooperate with friendly forces after obtaining supplies.

"Xiao Xiongsang, why did your main force of the 108th Division evacuate? According to the previous combat plan, your division should continue to travel east and join the second mixed brigade to encircle the stubborn enemy with absolute superiority."

This military order made the commander of the Japanese First Army in Lucheng, Xiang Yue Qingshi, who was located in Lucheng, so he went to call himself to ask why Xia Xiong Yuan, who was in charge of Licheng, dared to withdraw his troops without authorization.

Although Xiangyue Qingshi is the highest commander of the Japanese army in Southeast Jin, he is just a lieutenant general in the army in terms of military rank. He is on par with Xiong Yuan, the commander of the 108th Division. The merciless questioning is already the most intense way he can show.

"Qingshijun, the reason why our division temporarily evacuated from its area this time was that it was due to the serious shortage of military rations and even drinking water. In addition, the raging dysentery disease caused thousands of people to be sick. Many imperial warriors were weak after getting sick, but they had to go to the front line with illness, which eventually led to casualties far more than usual.

Do you know? In the battle yesterday alone, our army suffered 1,600 casualties! As the commander of the division, I can accept the loyalty of the Empire warriors to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, but I cannot accept that they were hungry and dragged their seriously ill body to do such glory things.

If, Your Excellency Commander, you think I have done something wrong, after the war, I will submit my resignation to the Front Command, but Xiong Yuan himself will not admit his mistake."

Although Xiong Yuan wanted to spit out a thick green old phlegm through the telephone, he still had to give General Shanshan Yuan, who was in charge of Pingbei City, and patiently told the 108th Division that he was currently facing.

Of course, Xia Xiong Yuan is still confident as a lieutenant general in the army, and he also makes a reasonable statement of his reasons. At the same time, he clearly tells himself that his colleague at the same level can use the commander's authority to say that he is wrong, but he can also ignore it.

But at that time, perhaps it was not the two lieutenant generals who fought against each other, but the camp behind them.

The 108th Division is a second-line division, but it depends on whose second-line division it is. They are reserves for the 8th Division and were only adapted into the 108th Division before the war and were put into the Chinese battlefield.

This is a feature of the number of the Japanese division number invading this time. For example, the 109th Division is the reserve of the 9th Division, and the 110th Division is the 10th Division. Why is there no 105th Division? It is because Shiro Itagaki's 5th Division is composed of regular divisions and reserves, so it is powerful for the Mao Fifth Division, because the 5th Division had a maximum total force of nearly 60,000 people, which is definitely a Japanese army organization.

This is what Xiong Yuan means. I will give you a reasonable explanation. Everyone is a lieutenant general and has a backer. Don’t be shameless if you are Xiangyue Qingshi.

There are many factions in the Chinese army. They blame each other during wars, and they are disrespectful, and it is common for them to slap their feet and run away. In fact, the Japanese are not much better, that is, they are now at the upper hand, and many contradictions are covered by the halo of victory. If they are beaten to pieces that day, the ugliness of those high-level officials will also blind people.

The thing about Jianghu is global, not only unique to China.

Xiangyue Qingshi, who had already known that the 108th Division had arrived in the area that the Chinese had arrived in the area, was also helpless.

The military book says, "The army has not moved, food and grass will come first." It can be seen that the importance of logistics support to an army. For the Japanese army, which has completely entered the age of thermal weapons, logistics support is only more important than before.

But the Japanese Army is a bad guy in this regard. The logistics support of the Western world has been used for ships, cars and even planes. The great Japanese Imperial Army is still using pack horses in large quantities.

Fortunately, the Chinese army is the bottom-up student, and many Chinese army have few donkeys, not to mention pack horses.

But this lieutenant general ignored one thing: almost all Chinese soldiers just need to get some potatoes, sweet potatoes, cornmeal, and even these are not there. They can survive by digging wild vegetables and adding some rice to make their stomachs. Chinese soldiers bear the shortcomings of their weak military logistics support at the cost of health.

On the other hand, what about the Japanese army? It not only needs to fill its stomach, but also needs enough salt, sugar, tea and other supplies, which is much more expensive than the Chinese. With the same force, the Japanese army's logistics support capacity is several times higher than that of the Chinese army.

On the North China Plain or the Southeast China Plain, the Japanese army could barely satisfy their cars by train, but in the mountains of Taihang Mountain, the Japanese army was also helpless and had no choice but to give up a large number of cars and replace them with pack horses.

Because it was during the war, the ammunition reserves carried far exceeded the food, ensuring that soldiers could eat and drink within ten days was the limit of participating in various Japanese troops in the mountains.

The 108th Division suffered from "dysentery" due to soldiers and pack horses, and it was inevitable that the consumption was larger than usual. Besides, they also completed the tasks previously set by the Front Command. If they accuse this of violation of the order, it seems unreasonable.

Thinking deeper, if Xiangyue Qingshi wants to become the next commander of the front army, wouldn’t he have to get the support of the commanders of the masters? People have said that this is the case, and if they pursue it, they will really offend people.

Of course, these are all secondary. The most important thing is that Lieutenant General Xiangyue Qingshi has always been indescribable in his heart.

Xiangyue Qingshi was named "Xuerong" within the Front Army. When the battle began, he heard from internal channels that the chief of staff of the division, Saburo Okamoto was about to be transferred. This battle in the southeast of Jin was able to quickly formulate a battle plan and implement it smoothly.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! But what made Kasumi Qingshi extremely unhappy was that it was rumored that the major general of the Second Mixed Brigade, the commander of the Second Mixed Brigade who participated in the battle this time, was the most likely candidate to replace Saburo Okamoto. If it were normal, at most there was only one news, but Yamashita was ordered to lead the Second Mixed Brigade from its original resident Baoding to Southeast Shanxi to participate in the war. The authenticity of this news instantly rose to more than 90%.

It would be fine if it was someone else, but Yamashita Fumi was extremely arrogant. Before the war, he had disobeyed Xiang Yue Qingshi, who was the commander of the garrison army, which made Xiang Yue Qingshi very angry. Especially after the indoor mourning robe took office, the major general brigade commander directly hugged the indoor mourning thighs, and even ignored Xiang Yue Qingshi, who was no longer his direct boss.

Of course, everyone has passed the destiny, and they are buried in their hearts if they don’t look at each other. The conflict between the two has not been too great to the extent that Xiang Yue Qingshi and the indoor shrouded shrouds, they started to argue with each other at the combat meeting.

But during this battle, Yamashita Furu passed by Lieutenant General Xiang Yue Qingshi, commander of the "Xuerong" campaign, directly asked General Shanshanyuan for help, completely angering Xiang Yue Qingshi.

It was a last resort for Xiong Yuan to withdraw his troops, and he also explained to me, the commander, with a smile. He was still a lieutenant general at least. You are a mere army major general at the foot of the mountain. You don’t take me seriously. When you become a lieutenant general in the future, you will not step on me to death!

The angry Lieutenant General Xiangyue Qingshi hasn't even read the battle report sent by the Second Mixed Brigade these days. Anyway, you like to find the Commander of the Front Army. You can send the battle report directly to the Front Army Command.

What, the casualties are heavy? So what it is, Xiang Yue Qingshi even wants to pat his face. The more miserable his mountain text is, the lower the probability of being promoted to lieutenant general of the army. The chief of staff of the front army, don't even think about it.

That is a transitional position, but it does not mean that any lieutenant general is qualified to gilt, especially against a loser.

You should know that until now, even though the 16th Division and the 109th Division have not achieved the previously expected combat goals, their two major divisions have attracted a Chinese army and at least three infantry divisions, which are at least nearly 80,000 troops. Otherwise, how could the 108th Division successfully enter the garrison of the 80th Army in the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains?

Although the Chinese ran fast and did not kill many Chinese, more than 70 villages were burned and tens of thousands of Chinese lost their homes. Rebuilding would consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and for the Chinese, it was also a heavy blow.

This means that there is nothing else in the mountainous areas except mountains and trees. Otherwise, if you blow up some bridges, the people's livelihood system in this area will be basically destroyed.

Fortunately, China is a major agricultural country. Otherwise, there would be several factories built in the mountains, so the 108th Division would be disgraced?

But no matter what, Xiangyue Qingshi can find military achievements for every important general under his command, but what is the foot of the mountain where he is still fighting hard with two infantry divisions in the mountains?

Apart from the heavy casualties, there seems to be no characteristics.

The Chinese also have at least a few thousand casualties. Why? When fighting with the Chinese, you still have the face to fight a one-to-one loss ratio?

So, Xiangyue Qingshi agreed to the request for the 108th Division to withdraw and make supplies, and reported it to the Front Command for approval.

This retreat was reasonable and legal within the Japanese army.

However, when I heard this from the other side of Yamashimi, I almost couldn't get angry.

OK! It turns out that he had been waiting for reinforcements for several days and disappeared.

Everyone believes that he has more than 10,000 elite troops under his command, and he has the strength to crush them against two Chinese infantry divisions.

But only those who are personally experiencing it is clear that the two Chinese infantry divisions in front of him are definitely hard to crack.

On the one hand, the strong willpower is not as little as some people think.

In the last two days, the intensity of the artillery fire increased instead of decreasing. At most, nearly 20 mountain cannons were firing, and a large number of 82 mortars were also being fired.

If it weren't for the help of the plane, the future "Malay Tiger" would even want to give up the so-called military achievements and retreat with his subordinates.

But now, the battle has been fought, what should I do? Should I continue to do it, or should I run away with thousands of corpses?

The dilemma made Yamashita, who was holding the Xiangyue Bluestone Iron, stand in the open space in front of his field command for at least 10 minutes.

Finally, he chose to pull out his small pistol and fucked it.

"Baga! Baga! Baga, two damn bastards!"
