Chapter 945 Two Japs

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The replacement of the 10th Regiment was a regiment of the Royal Association Army Division with lower equipment.

    The 10th Regiment is of the same origin as its parent organization. It has the cunningness of a businessman and its tradition of avoiding hard problems and focusing on chewing soft bones in combat. It is looked down upon by several other elite divisions.  Compared with it, the combat morale of the Royal Association Army, which is composed entirely of Korean soldiers and has Japanese as mid-level and senior generals, is not weak.

    ?? These North Korean "second devils" who have been seriously enslaved did not pay attention to the Chinese army at all before the war. Even if their masters suffered successive setbacks, they still stubbornly believed that this was due to acclimatization.  Compared with the Japanese army, these "new Japanese" whose ancestors fully accepted Chinese Confucianism are more cruel to the Chinese than the Japanese. It seems that only in this way can they show their "loyalty" to the government.

    Mr. Lao She of later generations accurately described this in "Four Generations Under One Roof": "The pioneers of Japanese women are the Korean Bangzi - high-level slaves. They not only rob, but also practice according to their own nature. They are a  You eat a few of your watermelons without spending any money, and you have to destroy a few of them. In contrast, Japanese ladies feel that they are not so mean - they just grab things, not destroy them. Since the beginning of summer,  There are no more vendors selling vegetables and fruits, so people in the small sheepfold have to make do with what they have.¡±

    Originally, this army could only do logistics and stabilize the rear positions, so it was a last resort to let them go to the front line.  But they didn't have the consciousness to be cannon fodder. They thought that the time had come to serve their master. Wouldn't they be happy if they could show their skills and make their master look at them differently?

    When the leading troops of the 18th Army approached the Japanese position under the cover of artillery fire, they suddenly discovered a strange army.  This army was armed with long guns, and their appearance and appearance were the same as those of ordinary Japanese soldiers, but strangely they did not wear helmets.

    Since the modern steel helmet was invented by French General Adrian during World War I, it has become the standard equipment for infantry in various countries.  Although the helmet is not impenetrable to bullets - if it were a helmet that was impenetrable to bullets, it would be too much for a person's neck.  But it is mainly used to protect the head from shrapnel damage.

    As for bullets, if the opponent's bullet does not hit the center of the helmet, since the helmet is a curved surface, most of it will slip away. This is the protective effect of the helmet.

    Before 1920, the Japanese army did not have helmets.  From this point of view, it can be proved that the Japanese Army is indeed very backward!

    By the mid-1920s, influenced by the tactics of trench warfare in World War I, Japan discovered through research that artillery fragmentation damage was one of the most important components of soldier casualties in trench warfare. In addition, the Fengjun and the People's Army also began to develop helmets during the same period.  With the idea of ??never losing to the Chinese, we started the plan to develop our own helmets.

    At first, they also referred to types from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. After considering cost and performance factors, they finally successfully designed a simple helmet made of carbon steel and linen lined in early 1926 and delivered it to the troops.

    The plan is to first deploy the elite seven divisions and the Guards Division that were first established, and then tilt them to other units.  After the Sino-Japanese War broke out, many second-line troops were unequipped. Naturally, the "Second Japs" were even less qualified.

    Therefore, judging whether there is a helmet is an important reference for distinguishing whether the opponent is the main force of the Japanese army or a second-line force.  When the 18th Army saw the Japanese soldiers with their bare heads exposed, some people immediately knew that this was not the main force of the Japanese army.

    However, this army turned out to be extremely tenacious.  They shouted loudly and rushed out of the simple positions, intercepting the whereabouts of the People's Army regardless of casualties. Their fighting will was even stronger than that of ordinary Japanese soldiers.

    It was originally a full-scale attack, but now that it was blocked by these clowns, the entire army's attack was stalled.  Under their counterattack, some positions were successfully counterattacked by this enemy.

    When he learned that the enemy on the opposite side was just a group of "Er Japs" without heavy artillery, Shang Zhen yelled at the commander of the 53rd Division: "The brothers' troops have beaten all the regular Japs to pieces, but you are scared to pieces by a group of 'Er Japs'"  How courageous! How shameful! Can you guys do it? If not, switch to the 54th Division!"

    The commander of the 53rd Division also held his breath. He sent someone to send a message to the commander of the front line who was responsible for the main attack: "The young marshal once taught us that the 'second devil' is more hateful than the devil. Don't care whether he is a human or a ghost. Give me a hard blow."  Fight, let them all go to hell!"

    So, this imperial association army suffered a disaster.

    The commander of the main attack regiment, who knew his shame but was brave, asked for a battalion of artillery to support him. Almost as soon as the crackling sound of artillery sounded, his entire regiment rushed forward.  Any Japanese who resisted, held a gun, or could not raise a gun high enough were to be shot to death.  The battlefield situation is so changeable, how can there be time to care whether they are fighting, surrendering or fleeing?

    "Saying one's life for the master can only be said in words. For people who can betray their country, you can really expect them to throw their lives away."?Hot-blooded?  Therefore, after the People's Army's artillery and machine guns killed thousands of people, some Imperial Army soldiers who saw that the momentum was not good began to actively "disengage" from the battle, causing the entire brigade's defense line to be torn apart.

    The edge of the middle road was breached, and the Japanese military headquarters urgently mobilized the 4th Border Guard Team to take over.  This is a regiment-level organization composed of retired veterans. It has 12 infantry guns and its combat effectiveness is no less than that of a regular regiment. It is well-trained to form a second line of defense five miles behind.

    However, due to the defeat of the Imperial Alliance Army, the mass flight of thousands of people inevitably impacted the assembly and defensive formations of the border guards, and inevitably shook the morale of the Japanese army.

    The garrison captain angrily ordered to shoot at the "Second Japanese" who were attacking the defense line. These Korean traitors, who had served the Japanese well, were now ruthlessly abandoned by their masters.

    Some quick-witted people know that rushing over will lead to death, so they cleverly pretend to be dead or directly surrender to the People's Army. Those who are slow to react will inevitably be shot by the front and rear attacks.  In an instant, the front lines of the Japanese army's positions were filled with mourning, and countless people were killed and wounded.

    A garrison of more than 3,000 people suffered more than half casualties under the attack of the People's Army, but at least it was able to contain the People's Army's offensive.

    Because of the existence of these Japanese soldiers, the People's Army cannot fully exert its firepower¡ª¡ªit will not attack the soldiers who are kneeling and surrendering, right?  You can't rush forward through so many kneeling soldiers, right?  The time spent in the 100-meter sprint and the 100-meter hurdles is definitely different!

    When the offensive was lagging behind, the commander of the main offensive regiment wisely chose to stop the attack to reduce casualties.  Charging five miles in one breath is definitely more exciting and tiring than cross-country travel with heavy loads.  After organizing the formation, part of the team was used to prevent the Japanese counterattack, part of the team was used to clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded, and the rest began to capture prisoners.

    "The "Imperial Association Army" of this brigade was killed by the People's Army, hundreds of people were killed by the Japanese army, and more than 2,000 people were killed.  Excluding the casualties and those doing business, there were about a few hundred people in the main attack group to deal with the prisoners.

    If it were 2,000 pigs, it would be enough to keep them busy, but because they were human beings, it would be much easier for them to catch them, because most of these people came "on their own initiative" - ??there was no other way out.  It's better to take the initiative.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
