As the saying goes, ideals are beautiful, but reality is skinny.
As soon as Sawada Shigeru gave the order, he found that his troops had already encountered problems with the order.
What does it mean that the government order is unreasonable? That is, the orders he gave were just nonsense. No one listened to his orders, no one listened to his words, and no one executed his orders.
In anger, Sawada Shigeru directly called the two brigade commanders and several regiment commanders to his division headquarters.
"Baga! How do you usually lead troops! You can't even command the people below. You are all a bunch of horse dung! Horse dung!" Sawada Shigeru scolded angrily, with blindfolds on his eyes. Against the background, it looks particularly fierce.
In response to the division commander's angry scolding, the senior officers did not dare to speak out, but just lowered their heads silently - there was no way, the officer was telling the truth, and they had no way to refute it.
"Captain Panasonic Brigade, tell yourself, why are you in this situation?!" Sawada Shigeru widened his eyes and looked at Matsushita Kaiichi, the commander of the 7th Brigade in front of him.
I saw Matsushita Kaiyi immediately breaking out in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and immediately lowered his head and said: "I will go back and maintain military discipline and style to ensure that our troops can set off as quickly as possible!"
At this time, a day has passed. This is a very helpless thing, but it must be solved immediately.
Therefore, Matsushita Kaiichi immediately left the division headquarters with his two regiment captains and returned to his brigade headquarters to discuss a solution.
Seeing that Matsushita Kaiichi had already left with his subordinates, another brigade leader was not stupid and immediately followed him and said: "The subordinates will also follow us to discuss the solution!" Another one
After collective discussions between the two brigade commanders and several regiment commanders, they could not come up with several feasible plans for a while.
Just when several people were distressed, one of the commanders suddenly had an idea and proposed a seemingly bad but the only feasible plan: "Commanders and two brigade commanders, since their reasons are not all Are they sick? Then we might as well sit in the military medical department ourselves! If we find out that the soldiers lied about being sick, we will punish them. Only in this way will they cheer up and start again!"
The commander of the Matsushita Kaiyi Brigade frowned slightly, and then sighed: "Then let's do it like this! We must get the troops to set off before tomorrow, otherwise, our heads will definitely not be saved."
"I also agree with what Captain Matsushita said, let's do it!" Major General Toshihide Yamamoto, the commander of the 8th Brigade, said.
Now that the two current brigade commanders with the highest military rank have spoken out, what other objections can the commanders below have? Hurry to implement the unified resolution formed.
As a result, an interesting scene appeared - the mighty captain who was supposed to be commanding the battle on the front line was now in the military hospital catching these soldiers who were avoiding combat on the grounds of illness.
What made the captains extremely angry was that they thought that only soldiers were pretending to be sick, but when they went to take charge, they discovered that there were actually many junior officers such as squad leaders and squadron leaders.
The angry captains directly grabbed a few soldiers and officers who were pretending to be sick as examples, and then they stopped the trend of pretending to be sick.
However, the wave of pretending to be ill was stopped, and what happened next simply set a new limit for Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, the two brigade commanders, and the joint captains.
I saw that these officers and soldiers of the Osaka Division, from ordinary soldiers to captains, were all "working hard", and their movements were undoubtedly very slow.
Ordinary soldiers were slow to pack up their things and move slowly, as if their strength had been drained from their bodies; while the officers pretended not to be able to command these lazy soldiers, that's all.
You know, not only the soldiers of the Osaka Division, a standing division, were born in Osaka, but almost all their junior officers were born in the commercial city of Osaka.
Originally, the city of Osaka was not that bad. As the saying goes, success depends on Xiao He and failure depends on Xiao He. Osaka people are "ruined" by money. People in this place are keen on economic development and think that their wallets can be replenished as soon as possible. If you expand a little, you can live a more nourishing life - as for the dog spirit, screw it, having money is the most important thing.
It’s good to have this kind of spirit that looks after money. At least this city can develop very economically, but it also makes these people not worship the so-called dog spirit. They worship money and profits, but they never do anything to lose money. .
And the current matter is obviously a loss-making transaction, and the kind of business that can lose money to the point of losing their pants. It's strange that they can be motivated.
Ever since, just like this, fighting a battle with a loss rate of 95% directly caused the Fourth Division, a standing division with extremely elite weapons and equipment, to lose its fighting will and combat effectiveness...
…
In this way, amid the angry looks of the division commander, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, the two major general brigade commanders, and many wing captains, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division who were so lazy that they could no longer show any interest finally reluctantly Set off.
Well, it's totally the type that moves once you hit it.
Compared with the brave and skilled Sendai Division, the Osaka Division simply lost the face of the Japanese army...
So since the Osaka Division is in this situation, what about the Sendai Division?
After receiving the order from the Kwantung Army Commander General Ueda Kenkichi, the Sendai Division immediately carried out emergency mobilization and rushed directly to the Nomonkan front line as quickly as possible to support the frontline troops in operations.
Although the Japanese frontline troops at that time were caught off guard by the Soviet raid, the Japanese troops behind them also began to react and began to fight tenaciously against the Soviet troops.
However, in the face of the strong strength and powerful offensive of the Soviet army, these Japanese troops began to retreat steadily. Until they could no longer hold on, the Second Division, which had been marching for four consecutive days, finally entered the battle.
The Second Division, which originally had high hopes, was completely defeated by the Soviet army's overwhelming offensive.
Of course, as a standing division with a strong will to fight, the Second Division's complete defeat did not mean that it was completely defeated. They just couldn't beat the Soviet army's steel torrent and overwhelming artillery fire, that's all.
However, while the Second Division was desperately fighting on the front line to carry firepower and resist damage, the troops of the Fourth Division had only reached halfway.
Yes, it was halfway. Under the desperate urging of officers of the Fourth Division's co-captain level and above, these Osaka vendors slowly walked halfway. The second division took four days to complete the journey, and they were fourth. Genius is halfway there!
However, a dramatic scene happened soon.
In view of the disastrous defeat of the Second Division on the front line and the extremely unreliable Fourth Division, the Japanese military decided to negotiate peace with the Soviet army and sign a non-aggression treaty.
At this time, after hearing the news, the officers and soldiers of the Osaka Division, who were already infinitely close to the front line, rushed to the front line one by one as if they had been given a shot of blood.
When the frontline troops returned to Changchun for replenishment, compared to the miserable-looking Second Division, the guys in the Fourth Division were all in high spirits, as if they had returned victorious.
Under this circumstance, a reporter from the Japanese Military Daily also took pictures of this scene, preparing to publish a report saying "Our Invincible Division of the Empire of Japan has returned with honor."
However, the senior officials of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, who had been disgusted by the traders of the Fourth Division, expressed their opposition. However, regarding the Japan-Soviet war, the Japanese army really had no material to report.
As a result, these senior Japanese military officials could only change the original title from "The Invincible Division of the Empire of Japan Returns with Honor" to "The Invincible Division of the Empire of Japan Returns with Honor" as if they had swallowed a fly.
This scene can't help but make people sigh...
