Could it be that this Fourth Division has a different temperament from other Japanese divisions?

Seeing Tang Dao's serious look, it aroused the interest of the generals here.

To be honest, the Chinese intelligence system did not have intelligence reconnaissance on the Japanese army before the war, but it was far less meticulous than the Japanese who were deliberately contemptuous, and instead focused more on the domestic situation.

This also leads to many times when Chinese commanders only know the number of Japanese troops, and even no one knows the name of the commander, not to mention the character and tactical arrangement habits of the opponent they are facing. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the other can you win every battle, and you don’t even know what the opponent will fight. That is one step further away from victory.

Over the past year, as the two major Japanese fronts continued to advance on the Chinese battlefield, they basically learned the characteristics of their opponents with their bloody lessons, such as the strength of the Fifth Division and its commander Shiro Itagaki's cruel and tenacious, and the cunning and excessive tricks of the 11th Jungang Village of the Japanese Central China Front Army.

But for the Fourth Division that had just been transferred from the Kanto Army, everyone only knew that this A-type division from Osaka belonged to an old division, with its number above the Fifth Division, and subconsciously regarded it as a strong enemy. That's how much better the second-line division like the 37th Division, which had just been established, was.

When making tactical arrangements a few days ago, even General Baihai placed a full-day armed infantry brigade of the 17th Division of the main division of the 38th Army on the line defense line approaching to the 4th Division. The 46th Independent Brigade was located on their flank to prepare for support at any time, and he was not careless about it.

"Hehe! Please forgive me for being here for a silence. After the war, you will know the cuteness of the 4th Division." Tang Dao smiled slightly.

The "bad" intention that was bursting from the inside out was like a volcano burst out from the inside, which made everyone here want to pull out their waists and cut off the official's sword.

I have to speak halfway through my words and I will never have a partner in the future! Really, this sentence is particularly suitable for a group of people who are about to be cut into a sashimi by the "Sword Qi".

"Tang Dao dared to ask the commander for orders. The defense line of the infantry brigade belonging to the 4th Division was handed over to our Football Regiment Packet Company and the Sichuan Army New Corps. It is said that these guys are elite Japanese troops, so I, Tang Dao, are elite!" But Tang Dao's next words shocked the white-haired general.

In order to deal with the eight thousand men of this old division, the 38th Army used two elite infantry brigades and one infantry brigade of the 96th Army to support the group army. Tang Dao actually used more than 4,000 new recruits and more than 1,000 baggage troops to deal with it. Is this going to be crazy?

Everyone could clearly hear that the organization mentioned by Tang Dao did not include the two main infantry battalions of the Four Army Regiment who came to Zhongtiao Mountain War Zone from afar. If they were added, they might be reluctant, but obviously, at such a military meeting, a commander like Tang Dao would never make such a stupid forgetful mistake.

"Tang Dao is willing to issue a military order. If our Sichuan Army soldiers let the 4th Division move forward in front of our defense line, there is no need to wait until after the war, Tang Dao can establish the military leadership!" Tang Dao stood at attention and said solemnly to the white-haired general.

"There is no joke in the army! Commander Tang, you have thought about it, no matter how brilliant your achievements in fighting against the enemy in the past were.

But that is already the past. This battle against the enemy is related to the safety of more than 200,000 soldiers in Zhongtiao Mountain. If something goes wrong, it will lead to a loss in the whole game. Don’t say that I, Mr. Zhao, cannot protect you, it may be difficult for the boss of the Eighty Group Army to protect you." The white-haired general pondered for a moment and finally replied.

"Please rest assured, when Tang Dao visited his relatives and returned home, he promised Jiayan that he would get married in the New Year. His wife had not married her baby and had not yet had a child. Tang Dao couldn't bear to bear this big head. Our Sichuan Army soldiers could definitely block the attack of the hawker division. If they really lost, there would be someone in our Four-Clan Group?" Tang Dao promised again.

This sentence made the serious-looking white-haired general and the generals couldn't help but feel a little happy!

Yes! Three great things about life: meeting an old friend in a foreign land, having a wedding night, and when you are on the list of titles! How beautiful the face of the reporter from Dantai Mingyue University is. Although not all the old fried dough sticks here have seen it, they can only see the dignified and heroic figure of the writer from his words. If you have not married your beautiful wife, who is willing to die easily? This is human nature.

Not to mention people like Tang Dao, even if the three generals of the 55th Division who are not familiar with Tang Dao, even if they think Tang Dao is too high-profile in private, they never regard him as a fool.

Those who can beat the Japanese army to the point of being disguised can be said to be favored by God once, and twice, it can be said to be favored by God twice, but if this happens again and again, it is pure strength.

How could such a person seek death?

"Haha! Okay, since you have such ambition and so confident, after the meeting, I will report to Commander Sun, and you will lead your army to block the 4th Division's headquarters. My 38th Army can gather the power of the two divisions to deal with the main force of the Fifth Division and see how strong the so-called 'steel army' is!" The white-haired general smiled.

"But if you really want to get married at the end of the year, don't forget to notify me. If the military situation is urgent, I cannot be present from the 38th Army. But the ceremony must be followed. Are you?"

"That's sure, as long as this battle is still alive, the future nephews and nieces will be protected by gold medals, old Kong's." Brigade Commander Kong replied loudly.

"Then I will give the new one one gold bracelet and one jade bracelet!" Another brigade commander of the 17th Division also responded.

"Good guys, they're all big money, so what should I give? My monthly military salary should be enough."

......

If Tang Dao's Sichuan Army's new recruits could block the 4th Division, the 38th Army would be able to gather the entire army to deal with the Fifth Division. There were more than 10,000 people from the 96th Army on the flanks, and there were also the main force of the Four Army Regiment coming. The chances of victory were already much higher than expected before, and the generals were naturally in a good mood to support their own army commanders.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! All the promises are heavy gifts, which are half of the face of Tang Dao and the white-haired general.

What a good guy, the 200,000 troops who were nesting in the Zhongtiao Mountains almost had no food, but the brigade commanders took out either gold or silver without blinking. It was indeed the "poor temple and rich abbot".

Of course, such thoughts flashed through Tang Dao's mind. No one is perfect, and saints should not be in this secular world.

"Can you all advance the matter in advance? Tang Dao's family is poor and has never seen so many precious things. They are about to die. Can you open my eyes first?" Tang Dao said with a smile.

There was a lot of laughter at the scene!

No one took this quite obvious joke from a certain regiment to heart. It must be a joke. The Four Army Regiment only gave the 17th Division enough equipment to equip an infantry brigade, which is a drop in gold and silver compared to that.

The third generals of the 55th Division had a much better impression of Tang Dao than before. Not only Tang Dao's previous analysis was very conscientious, but also because of his existence, the atmosphere of the meeting that had become more solemn as the arrival of the Fifth Division became cheerful.

The confidence of victory is quietly growing and spreading in the hearts of everyone present because of joy and laughter. This is the most important thing.

Being cowardly before fighting is not a taboo in military strategists! How can three veterans who have been through the battlefield not understand the truth?

The only thing I was a little dissatisfied with was that this guy Tang Dao was just unwilling to talk about what was going on with the 4th Division.

The generals here will think that the opponent they are about to face can be considered a unique existence among the many strange things in the history of World War II.

There have been many strange existences in the history of World War II. There are some little brothers who gathered 400,000 heavy troops to fight 50,000 remaining soldiers and never fought. Not only did they even kill 130,000 people, but they were captured by the other party. There are also three-level infantry troops who were scared to collapse on the line as soon as they turned on the charge mode. There are also American cowboys who were defeated by a group of albatrosses and had to withdraw from the island.

But compared with the weird operations of the hawker team, the number one Yi brother may be able to compare with him. Both brothers will think that the other party's second choice is an insult to the word "weird".

Japanese historian Mitsuyuki described in detail the various jaw-dropping operations of the hawker division in his article "The First Bad Division of the Japanese Army".

The Fourth Division, also known as the "Osaka Division" and the "Trade Trading Division", was established in 1888. An extremely auspicious year number brought wealth to one of the 17 standing divisions formed by the Japanese army before the war, but did not bring tenacity and courage.

Each division of the Japanese army has a code name, such as the Second Division is "Yang" and the Ninth Division is "Warrior". They are basically symbols of the spirit of martial arts, but when they reach the 4th Division, they become "Dian".

This code name originates from the Yodogawa River that crosses the most colorful Umeda commercial area of ​​Osaka. Using this code name is a world of fireworks and auspicious sign of attracting wealth and treasure...

Perhaps from the moment the code name was chosen, the Japanese standing division was destined to take the unusual tactics.

Don't think that the 4th Division is famous because of its lack of combat effectiveness. On the contrary, the 4th Division is extremely well-equipped. In addition to the standard equipment allocated by the Japanese Army Department, the "Havenger Division" with sufficient financial resources also purchased a large number of artillery and heavy weapons. In terms of equipment alone, they can be regarded as the elite of the Japanese army.

Moreover, they performed well in some tough battles, but on the contrary, because of their smart minds and excellent analytics, they had many highlight moments.

For example, when the Fourth Division, which was disliked by several major fronts, was transferred to the Pacific battlefield to fight against the American Cowboys. In order to change the "stereotype" of the superiors' headquarters, the Fourth Division, which "works hard to do anything about the armor in the first battle of Danba, defeated the American Cowboys in the first battle. The 16th Division attacked the American Cowboys who had been well-equipped for a month and had no choice but to replace it with the 4th Division and conquered the position in a week. This record was even praised by the little boy sitting on the throne.

Otherwise, there would be no number of the 4th Division in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces until decades to come.

It is true that the "Havengers Group" relies on excellent equipment and skilled tactical analysis to have good combat power, but their various weird and slutty operations are not pure jokes.

Just to say that the Battle of Nomenkan broke out in time and space in 1939, Mao Xiong fought with the Japanese army. The Kanto Army Command urgently ordered the two master regiments of Sendai and Osaka to dispatch, vowing to gather 60,000 heavy troops to fight Mao Xiong to the death.

The Second Division had quite execution ability. On the 4th, it marched from Hailar to Nomenkan and entered the battle on the day of its arrival. There was no doubt that the powerful army that could rush around the Chinese battlefield was hit in front of a mechanical army composed of hundreds of tanks of Mao Bears, and it was bloodied. It was defeated in just two days.

And what is their friendly 4th Division doing?

The spring in northern China was still too cold. The boys of the 4th Division unfortunately fell ill. After the mobilization order was issued, the number of patients with illness in the 4th Division increased. Looking around, the entire camp was full of soldiers who asked for left-behind due to various reasons.

The excited colonel's corps commander was furious and personally sat in the infirmation to participate in the diagnosis of the disease. Then he barely organized the troops to start marching towards Nomenkan. The joke that the corps commander changed his career to be a doctor' has spread in the Kwantung Army since then.

However, the matter was not over. Seeing that the soldiers of the 4th Division could not escape, they played other tricks. The 2nd Division took 4 days from Hailar to Nomencan, but the 4th Division's young men walked for a full 8 days, and a large number of people were behind due to physical fitness.

Coincidentally, on the day the advance team of the 4th Division arrived at the front line, the two sides announced a ceasefire. When the news came, the follow-up troops seemed to have taken the Dali Pill and quickly caught up with the front team.

Even the soldiers who stayed in the camp rushed to the front line with illness, complaining in great anger: "I didn't have the opportunity to fight bravely for the empire, which is simply unforgivable. Why can't the damn bear man last a few more days!"

Faced with so many officers and soldiers who joined later, Shigeru Sawada, who was the commander of the Fourth Division at the time, told the Suijun reporter calmly: "My 4th Division base is too scattered, but the enthusiasm of the division officers and soldiers to participate in the war is still worthy of praise."

Xiba! The Japanese military reporter wanted to answer this magnificent army lieutenant general in a Korean word.

And when it comes to the return journey, the highlight of the 4th Division has arrived!

It would be fine if the 4th Division was full of troops, raised its head and raised its chest and was full of energy. The key was that there were also the 2nd Division full of the camp with armor and wounded soldiers. It was definitely a mighty army.

No one knew what kind of mood the reporter of the army wrote down the feeling of the 'The power of the Fourth Division of the Invincible Imperial Army', but the officer in charge of the propaganda of the Kwantung Army finally couldn't bear it anymore and changed it to "The power of the Fourth Division of the Imperial Army's Unharmed Imperial Army's Return"!

If you are not injured, you are not injured! If you face the face with the Mao Bear Man, we are not injured, which is equivalent to invincibility. The 4th Division did not feel ridiculed at all, but instead took it as proud.

Living is the most important thing. The group of local beggars in the Xiantai Division know how to make a bird!

It’s so pitiful to see their miserable appearance!

A brain is a good thing, but some people really don't!

The sarcasm that came from the 4th Division almost pirated the lieutenant general commander of the 2nd Division.

After being transferred to the Central China battlefield and belonging to the Central China Expeditionary Force, the 4th Division also upheld its spirit of "sitting to sit and watch the wind and clouds unfold without fighting."

It is said that during the Battle of Xuzhou, a Chinese army was starting to break through mode. At this time, people were scarce and horses were exhausted and heavy equipment was gone. Just as crossing a highway, he reconnaissed a Japanese army with thousands of people and well-equipped ones appeared in front of him.

It was obvious how flustered the Chinese soldiers were at that time, so they naturally hid in the mountains and forests on the roadside, and were naturally prepared to die here.

As a result, it was found that the Japanese army had no intention of pursuing them. On the contrary, they were still cooking on both sides of the road with fire.

When it was getting late, I knew that if I could keep going, the Japanese army would make dumplings in this mountain, so I could only grit my teeth and cross the road under the night, and ended up safely.

This Japanese army was the Nanxing Detachment formed by the Fourth Division and arrived at the East China battlefield in early 1938.

What's even more awesome is that the major general captain of the 4th Division's Southward Detachment explained to his superiors afterwards: "Our unit has always strictly abide by combat discipline and has not received an order to intercept!"

This reason, let alone the Japanese commander was silent, China was powerless to refute.

After all, mechanical rigidity is a bit a bit, but don’t soldiers just follow orders? On the battlefield, you can’t easily fight, which may destroy the entire strategy and follow the command of all actions. Who are they?

Do you think this is over?

No, no, as Osaka people in the capital of vendors, how can they just have superb tactics and make money their main business.

Napoleon once said: "There is no waste in the world, it's just put it in the wrong place!"

When the Fourth Division was stationed in southern Anhui, everyone from the brigade commander to the soldiers often sent money to their families.

However, they are not as brutal as the Fifth Division of the Third Division, and they directly start the armed plundering mode. Merchants also have the moral bottom line of merchants. They will never do such a business without foundation. They will pay money and deliver goods with one hand. The only way for business to last is to last.

Therefore, Chinese soldiers in southern Anhui have a kind of guns and cannons that can be stolen without relying on their lives to fight against the enemy.

The damage rate of ordnance damage of the 4th Division surged during that period.

The attendance rate is high! You have a big battle with the Chinese for three days and two days. If you don’t believe it, you will fight it yourself?

The reason for the 4th Division has always occupied the commanding heights of morality. What kind of strength does a bunch of slags in the logistics department have to do with them?

Don’t forget that they don’t know how much yen they have earned by hawkers spread all over Osaka on the Japanese island, which almost comes from the suppression of talent.

Even if Japan was defeated, the 4th Division was never depressed. Not only did it surrender neatly, but it also ran to the American Cowboy's barracks the next day after returning to China, neatly set up stalls and sold war souvenirs.

Americans: The whole of Japan is the most pleasing to you!

For the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division, the joy of making money is so simple and pure!
