Chapter 202 The Secret of the 4th Division
The reason why the 4th Division has such a deep grudge against Inoue Yu.
It was purely because the ambitious Division Commander Inoue blocked the financial path of the 4th Division.
The Chinese New Year was approaching, and everyone in the 4th Division was extremely excited.
All the officers and soldiers are gearing up to set up stalls and do business at the temple fair in Taiyuan.
They want to take advantage of this traditional festival to make a fortune.
Even the commander of their Fourth Division had already collected the deposit from his partners.
He wanted to sell two Type 92 infantry guns to a regimental commander named Guo of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
This sweep of the Eighth Route Army's base disrupted everything.
The Japanese division commander who was harmed not only returned the deposit, but also apologized to the middleman repeatedly.
They said that after the sweep was over, they would continue trading with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
To show his sincerity, he also gave Commander Guo 20 more shells for the Type 92 infantry gun.
Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents. The 4th Division had already been at odds with Inoue.
He also wanted the 4th Division to rescue them, and it was already very kind of him not to secretly "accidentally bomb" the Inoue Division.
In fact, many people don’t understand the strange operations of the 4th Division.
Many years after the end of World War II, this strange phenomenon was still talked about by many people.
Finally, a little tomato writer named "Left Atrium" discovered the clue.
According to the nature of the Japanese devils, the 4th Division was so afraid of fighting that it should have been eliminated long ago.
The method is very simple. All the soldiers are dispersed into various divisions according to the organization of squads.
When encountering a battle or a large-scale war, just arrange them to the first offensive echelon and let them lead the charge.
Perhaps it would take less than a year to completely wipe out the Fourth Division.
The Japanese military headquarters had not thought of doing this before.
A few months later, they were sent to the battlefield in the Battle of Nomonhan.
In such a crucial battle, they dared to let the "famous" 4th Division go.
This may not be without the intention of using the Soviets to consume the 4th Division.
It’s a pity that the main force of the 4th Division did not reach Nomonhan until the end of the war.
Not to mention the Japanese army with its strict hierarchy, even in the National Army, if these troops do not cancel their numbers, they will have to be reorganized.
As a result, the 4th Division got nothing wrong. Where can you ask others to seek justice?
The biggest truth is that this force should be a private army of a certain chaebol or family in Japan.
The establishment of the 4th Division was most likely the product of an exchange of interests between a certain force in Japan and the Emperor.
Otherwise, why would such an old division have weapons and equipment no worse than others?
However, the 4th Division was so afraid of fighting that it was obviously trying to maintain its strength.
However, the various war zones have no substantial solutions for them.
It was not until the end of World War II that the Japanese army disbanded this unit on the grounds of being a defeated country.
Now Inoue Yu could clearly feel the pressure from the artillery fire from both wings.
When the battlefield finally rang out, the dense sound of Maxim's gunfire finally rang out.
He knew that the Eighth Route Army's infantry had already surrounded him from three directions.
Inoue Yu knew that he must not wait until the infantry engaged in close combat.
By that time, his 39th Division would be destroyed.
I watched the various artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army coming at me like they were free.
If it was his 39th Division that dared to fight in this way, it would have run out of artillery shells long ago.
Is this still the legendary Eighth Route Army soldier who only had three bullets on him?
If you had always been like this, our Emperor would have surrendered to you, China, long ago.
Two lines of turbid and regretful tears drew two muddy marks on the desperate face of Inoue Yu.
In front, under the command of a brigade commander, one battalion after another launched a group charge.
But the ice surface of these three bends was too slippery, and the Japanese couldn't rush forward at all.
They either slipped on the slippery ice or were swallowed up by the cracked ice from time to time.
It’s a pity that the water in these three bends is still too shallow and the river surface is not wide enough.
When the ice surface of the three bends was finally covered with the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, the Japanese attack finally began to gain momentum.
The Japanese soldiers were finally able to charge forward in big strides, stepping on the corpses of their own people.
Inoue Yu was watching the Japanese soldiers in front from behind and finally rushed to the first line of defense of the Eighth Route Army.
He immediately gave loud orders, asking all Japanese troops to charge.
Don't worry about the shells dropped by the Eighth Route Army, just rush outside, even if it's only one battalion that can be escaped at the end.
Li Yunlong, who was already close to the Japanese army, was jumping up and down and cursing.
He personally commanded the soldiers to chase after the Japanese and catch up with the troops that fell behind.
While shouting, "I say, Lao Wu, is the man commanding the embankment ahead your brother?
This method of fighting is not going to work. How can we let the Japanese rush up the river embankment?
If this was my subordinate, I would have been kicked out of the New 1st Regiment a long time ago, right, Da Biao?"
Zhang Dabiao turned around and looked at the brigade chief who had a gloomy face. He dared not talk to Li Yunlong at all.
Song Wenwan and Wu Changfeng were still looking through binoculars.
Song Wenwan: "No way, how could your brother give up his position so easily? He is not that kind of person."
Wu Changfeng had a very good temper. He said slowly, "Commander, what kind of person do you think my brother is?"
Song Wenwan smiled and said, "What kind of person is he? Of course he is the same as you, both of them are the kind of mean and evil people."
As they were talking, they saw a sudden explosion in the trenches of the Gansu Army on the river bank.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling flame ignited, enveloping the area ten meters in front and behind the trench.
Immediately afterwards, the Gansu Army stopped shooting on the second line of defense.
I don’t know how much gasoline Captain Wu Changlong used.
The fire was burning more and more fiercely, with no sign of stopping.
And at some point, Wu Changlong took advantage of the height difference of the second line of defense.
Many simple slides were built between the two lines of defense.
The Gansu Army soldiers used these slides to continuously roll gasoline barrels into the first trench.
At this moment, the remaining soldiers of the 39th Division are less than 5,000.
They were stopped at three bends, and the Eighth Route Army behind them also caught up with them, making it impossible for them to advance or retreat.
With no way out, the Japanese soldiers had gone crazy. They saw burning men jumping over the trenches one by one.
But before he ran far, he fell to the ground and couldn't move.
When the Japanese saw that there was no hope of escape, they decided not to run.
They drew their bayonets from their waists and put them on their Type 38 rifles.
For a moment, bayonets were everywhere, pointed fiercely at the Eighth Route Army that surrounded them from three sides.
At this time, Lao Li's eyes were red, and he shouted: "Wang Chengzhu, fire all the shells for me."
Zhang Dabiao thought that the time for him to show his skills had finally come.
He didn't expect that his old commander did not let him lead the charge, but instead ordered the artillery to fire.
Zhang Dabiao: Commander, you see my hat has fallen to the ground, why don’t you let me rush up?
