"I don't dare to think about rewards based on merit. I just hope that our troops will get stronger as we fight. In the future, we can grow into a troop that makes the enemy fearful!" Zhang Tianhai smiled, after experiencing this After the battle, he finally understood the gap between his own troops and the Japanese Sixth Division, and he did not dare to belittle himself.
So, how big is the gap between the National Army's Ninth Theater Guards and the Japanese Army's Sixth Division? The former is just a patchwork unit that can barely be considered an elite force. There is only one First Guard Regiment that can barely provide all the equipment that an army should have. Like the Second Guard Regiment, it only achieves semi-equipment unification. , let alone the Third Guard Regiment, it is just a new recruit unit; and what about the Japanese Sixth Division? The weapons and equipment are good, and the soldiers are all battle-hardened. Even the supplementary soldiers are mostly retired veterans or have been trained to a certain extent in the country.
It is precisely because of the huge gap and contrast in strength that the security forces of the Ninth Theater District of the National Army were still able to be counterattacked by the Japanese troops despite taking advantage of the right time and place. As a result, the entire fourth battalion of the First Guard Regiment was defeated. The losses were extremely heavy.
After watching the last soldier cross the pontoon bridge, Zhang Tianhai finally gave the order: "Engineer troops, light the fire!"
At Zhang Tianhai's order, the engineering troops of the Ninth Theater Guard Corps lit fire on the pontoons covered with gasoline.
The raging fire ignited the bridge deck, and also ignited the hearts of the entire theater security force and these civilians. They had never been so excited as they were today.
"Long live the theater guard force!!"
At this time, a shout came from the crowd. This shout was like a boulder hitting the calm water, causing thousands of waves.
"Long live the theater guard force!!!!"
"Long live the theater guard force!!!!"
"Long live the theater guard force!!!!"
…
The shouts resounded throughout the entire south bank of the Xinqiang River, and for a moment, the momentum was like a rainbow!
…
Zhang Tianhai is indeed happy here, but what about the Japanese army?
I saw Shiro Inaba breathing a sigh of relief from an angle that no one else could see after leaving the headquarters of the Ume Agency and the Special High School Division - regarding the fact that the 45th Regiment was completely wiped out by the enemy. , is already an established fact, the kind that cannot be changed. Since this is the case, the only way is to stop the loss in time and find a suitable scapegoat, so that you can at least keep your position.
Yes, people from the Mei Institute and the Special High School are very suitable to be this scapegoat in terms of body shape and size.
"If the sky falls, there will be a high ceiling. The Mei Agency and the Super High School are the backbone intelligence agencies of the empire. They can withstand it." Inaba Shiro thought, his idea was so simple and unpretentious.
Why did Inaba Shiro go all the way to the headquarters of the Ume Institute and the Super High School to "spoil up"? Is that because Inaba Shiro wants to see if they have reacted? Do you know the situation? The reality makes him very satisfied...
After returning to the headquarters of the Sixth Division, Inaba Shiro sat on the office chair. He took out a pen and wrote line after line of Japanese that most Chinese people could not understand. The comrades here will definitely find that what is written above is a situation report, three points admitting mistakes, and seven points blaming Mei's agency and the Super High School for their inaction, which led to the total destruction of the 45th Regiment under his command.
"His Excellency General Okamura Neiji, Commander of the Eleventh Army, is very sorry to send you this report of defeat. Starting early this morning, the 45th Regiment under our command was attacked by an unknown number of elite enemy troops. Sneak attack, our 45th Regiment fought fiercely until early this morning, and everyone was in pieces! As of 8:30 this morning, our division headquarters received a request for help telegram from the 45th Regiment, saying that they It was attacked by the absolute ace main force of the China Army, and more than half of them were killed or injured!
Regarding the occurrence of this situation, the humble position should self-examine, but regarding such an absolutely elite and ominous number of Chinese troops, the imperial army was not aware of it. Moreover, when the humble position asked about them, they had no information at all. This is an absolute dereliction of duty by our imperial military intelligence agency! If the subordinate headquarters could learn this information, it would be absolutely impossible for the 45th Regiment to be placed in the dangerous area of Jiankou Town without taking any action!
The humble position believes that the Mei Organization and the Super High School should bear the main responsibility for the "Jade Broken" of the entire 45th Regiment!
Shiro Inaba, commander of the Sixth Division, called urgently! "
After stopping writing, Inaba Shiro finally breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the phone and said, "Moxi Moxi, this is Inaba Shiro. Ask Captain Koizumi to come to my office right away!"
After saying that, Inaba Shiro put down the phone. For him, only after this telegram is sent out can he keep his position as division commander.
The position of division commander seems to be very secure, but to have an entire regiment killed right under your nose would be an absolute shame! The only way is to transfer the main responsibility, so that everyone's attention will be on the failure of the Mei Agency and the Super High School, and also on the unit that can annihilate the 45th Regiment overnight!
The Sixth Division, this division has established great military exploits since the beginning of the war of aggression against China, and has even been beautified more than a little bit by some militarist elements. Under such circumstances, to be completely annihilated by a regiment is really impressive. It attracted worldwide attention, even comparable to the feat of the 106th Division being wiped out in Wanjialing!
In this case, Inaba Shiro had no choice. In order to protect himself, he could only do this!
Yes, for them, diverting their attention at this time is the best choice.
…
After a while, Captain Koizumi came to Inaba Shiro's office.
"Koizumi, you are finally here. Let's do this. Take this telegram out immediately, supervise it personally, and send it to His Excellency General Okamura Neiji! Remember, there can be no mistakes. If there is any, I will You are the only one asking!" Inaba Shiro's tone was very serious, which could be described as rare seriousness.
After hearing the division commander's tone, could Captain Koizumi still not understand what the division commander meant? So, he hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, the commander of the division, I will complete my mission successfully, please rest assured!"
Captain Koizumi was brought out by Inaba Shiro, so how could he be worried? So, he nodded and let the former leave.
