    Chapter 149: Angry Hisao Tani (new book please watch)

    South side of Yuhuatai. Temporary headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division.

    The small command tent was in a mess, the terrain sand table was overturned, the table was shattered into a pile of wood slag, and there was even a Japanese officer lying on the ground, with blood pouring out from a huge wound on his chest.

    If you look carefully, you will find that this Japanese officer who is still twitching is still a major.

    As early as the Meiji Restoration period, the Japanese army had transformed the old army and implemented a universal military rank system. After decades of development, the Japanese army¡¯s military rank system has been basically in line with international standards. In the Japanese army, in addition to the generalissimo and marshal, there are  It is divided into five and sixteen levels: general, sergeant, lieutenant, non-commissioned officer, and soldier. Its characteristic is that it has modified the titles of the two military ranks of "college officer" and "non-commissioned officer", making it look very different to the masses. In fact,  not much differences.

    According to the old system, the Emperor of Japan is the commander-in-chief of the army and navy, so Hirohito's military rank is "Grand Marshal of the Army and Navy". He has both army and navy uniforms. In addition to the three general stars on the collar badge, there is also a golden chrysanthemum royal emblem, which is not detailed.  It looks like four stars.

    "Marshal" in Japan is only an honorary military rank without a special collar badge. It is generally awarded to senior and meritorious generals. For example, Yamamoto Isoroku was posthumously awarded "Marshal of the Navy" after he was shot down and died.  When Japan surrendered, there were still three marshals in office, namely Juichi Terauchi, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army, Gen Sugiyama, Commander-in-Chief of the First General Army, and Shunroku Hata, Commander-in-Chief of the Second General Army.

    The generals of the Japanese army are divided into three levels: generals, lieutenant generals and major generals. There are no levels of "general" and "brigadier general", which means that generals are equal to generals of other countries.  As the highest level of formal military rank, the award of general is very strict. It must have equivalent qualifications, military exploits, and positions, and it also needs Hirohito's approval. Although the Japanese army had 6 million troops before the surrender, there were very few generals in active service.

    Therefore, the front commanders, corps commanders, and division commanders of the Japanese Army in World War II basically all had the rank of lieutenant general. Okamura Neiji was awarded the title of general when he took office as the commander of the North China Front. This was because of Hirohito's attention, which was quite an exception.

    The most special title appears at the level of school officer. The Japanese ingeniously call them "associate officer", that is, colonel, lieutenant colonel and major officer. In fact, it is the same as the international practice, just another word.  The most common corresponding position of a colonel is the captain of the infantry wing, the most common corresponding position of a lieutenant colonel is the captain of the special forces (cavalry and artillery), and the major of a major is generally a deputy at the regiment level or a principal at the brigade level.

    It can be seen that the majors of the Japanese army are still very valuable. Now an army major has fallen in his own headquarters. This is really shocking.

    What is even more shocking is that right in front of the Japanese major, a wretched Japanese general is wiping the blood on his sword with a handkerchief!

    The white handkerchief, the bright red bloodstains, the gleaming sabers and the silent Japanese generals formed a strange and suffocating scene in the clothes.

    Although a captain who was incompetent in fighting has been executed, the anger in the heart of Hisao Tani, the commander of the Sixth Division, is still lingering. As the commander of the Sixth Division, one of the three most elite divisions in the Empire of Japan, Hisao Tani is very concerned about this incident.  The battle gave high hopes.

    Unlike Yanagawa Heisuke, Terauchi Juichi and others who came from the clan group, Hisao Tani¡¯s background was very humble. He was born in the most ordinary peasant family in Japan.  After that, his father devoted the whole family's efforts to support him to enter the Army Sergeant School and become a soldier.

    Hisao Tani was also very impressive. After graduating from the 15th Infantry Section of the Japanese Army Sergeant School in November 1903, he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant of the infantry. He then participated in the Russo-Japanese War and was promoted to lieutenant during the war.

    Later, Hisao Tani went to the Japanese Army University for further studies. He graduated from the 24th batch of the Japanese Army University and ranked third in the class. He was sent to study in the UK.

    Hisao Tani not only had certain attainments in combat command, but was also quite educated. When he was an instructor at the University of China, he interviewed Matsukawa Toshiyin, the former chief of the operations section of the Manchuria Army Headquarters, and wrote a book "Secret Russo-Japanese War"  History" is very valuable.

    Hisao Tani set foot on Chinese soil three times in his life to participate in aggressive wars. The first time was the Russo-Japanese War. At that time, Hisao Tani was just a small second lieutenant in the army, a shrimp-like figure, inconspicuous and not worth mentioning.  But the next two times were different. Hisao Tani was both a pivotal figure.

    The second time Hisao Tani set foot on Chinese territory was on August 10, 1928. Hisao Tani, then chief of staff of the Third Division, participated in the invasion of Shandong, China, led the troops to invade Jinan, and also created Jinan that shocked China and foreign countries.  massacre.

    When the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, Hisao Tani was already the commander of the Sixth Division.According to Hisao Terutani's estimation, it would take at most two days to conquer Yuhuatai and Guanghuamen, and his Sixth Division would be able to enter the Chinese capital openly, and he himself would be able to take this opportunity to be promoted to commander of the legion.

    "However, the ideal is full, but the reality is backbone. The Sixth Division under his command has been blocked outside Nanjing by the Chinese army for more than five days, and there is still no sign of a breakthrough.

    Especially this afternoon, the Chinese army in Yuhuatai was originally defeated, but suddenly five or six thousand people emerged from that corner and repelled the attack of the Sixth Division. This really made Hisao Tani angry.  He vomited blood, so he executed the captain on the front line who was responsible for directing operations in a rage.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
