My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 465

"Baga! The red deer of the Fourth Division are simply a disgrace to the empire!"

The head of the Fifth Division, Yamada Kiyoshi, stared at the battle report sent from the front line and became angry. He fought for a day without making any progress, and most of the Fourth Division that was supposed to come to reinforce them stayed where they were. .

Especially the damn 8th Regiment, they were obviously very close to the battlefield, but they shirked for various reasons, and the day's journey has not been halfway up to now.

From adjutant officers and lieutenants down to army chief soldiers, they either "seek medical treatment" or "relapse of old injuries". The field hospital is almost full. Out of concern for the soldiers' physical condition, there is a college student who has studied medicine for a few days before joining the army. The captain actually went to the hospital for consultation in person. A series of mysterious operations really surprised people.

This angered all the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division who were desperately working on the front line. While yelling at each other, Seiichi Yamada also reported the other party's various bad deeds to Fufumi Yamashita, requesting severe punishment for those who were obscene.

Fengwen Yamashita is also quite a headache. Who knows the virtues of the Fourth Division?Stealing, cheating, and cheating are also difficult to grasp. I took these guys to participate in the Nuomenkan Battle in Northeast China back then. Don't mention how terrible that experience was.

The key is that they are very united internally. Even the commander-in-chief Terauchi used to be one of the division commanders of this unit. As a native of Osaka, Terauchi Shouichi attaches great importance to his hometown troops, and he can clean up wherever he wants.

But what should be scolded has to be scolded. A stern telegram was sent to the headquarters of the Fourth Division. The content... is nothing more than a lesson for them.

"Hey...Wakali Masida...Hey..."

This is not over yet, the Southern Army Command directly called Dongzhi. On the phone, Terauchi Shouyi cursed unceremoniously. The then head of the division, Masao Baba, was sweating profusely, and kept nodding into the microphone like a grandson. .

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will definitely urge the following to reinforce as soon as possible, hey!" Masao Baba wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and put down the phone with lingering fear.

"Damn it... it's completely embarrassing the empire!"

After finally being scolded, Masao Baba was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. With a gloomy face, he became more and more angry as he thought about it, pacing back and forth in the headquarters with his hands behind his back.

There is no way, who let him take over this hot potato? The Fourth Division is basically in the same tune from top to bottom, and the previous division heads have not been able to solve this problem.

"Immediately send a report to the 8th and 37th Wings. They must rush to Nanduhe within two days, otherwise let them apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Hey!"

Seeing the furious look of the head of the division, the orderly didn't dare to delay, and hurried out to convey the order.

To say that the reason why the Fourth Division is so famous, apart from some mysterious operations of their own, is more likely to come from the malicious scrutiny of their compatriots.

The recruiting place of the Fourth Division is in Osaka, and Osaka is famous for its business in Japan, so this division has the nickname of "Trader's Division".

Since most of the soldiers are composed of vegetable sellers and traveling merchants in Osaka, the [-]th Division has acquired the habit of merchants. When fighting, they often like to bargain with the chiefs to negotiate conditions, and even steal and play tricks without working hard.

At that time, the divisions of the Japanese Army would be referred to by one-character code names, mostly using words with the meaning of martial arts, such as "brave" in the second division, "wu" in the ninth division, and "dragon" in the 54th division. wait.

But what is interesting is that when the Fourth Division in Osaka was formed, it named itself "Yodo".You know, using the word "Dian" is very unique.

The source of the word "Yodo" is taken from the Yodogawa River that crosses the most prosperous Umeda business district in Osaka.Therefore, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division, the word "Dian" not only has a local flavor, but also an auspicious omen of "attracting wealth and treasure".This Japanese division is indeed very different. At the beginning of its formation, it took into account its "homesickness" and "dream of getting rich", but it did not have that "martial spirit".

But if you really think that the Osaka Division is a group of idiots, you are completely wrong. In fact, the Fourth Division is also the real main force in the Japanese army, and it is not easy to deal with.

The Osaka Division was established very early. It was one of the earliest seven permanent divisions during the Meiji Restoration. It can be regarded as an elite unit with a "not small background" in the Japanese army.

At the same time, they are also one of the 17 first-level standing divisions formed before the Japanese invasion of China, belonging to the Type A division of the Japanese Army.Therefore, the Osaka Division is not only the oldest in the Japanese army series, but its combat effectiveness should also belong to the first echelon.

The reason why they were scolded miserably by their own people later was because the Osaka Division was exposed for reselling military supplies during the war, which broke the image of the "heroic" Japanese army and the hearts of the Japanese high-level leaders.

In addition, the Osaka Division is not as brainless and fanatical as other divisions, and they will engage in "Long Live Charge" at every turn. To put it bluntly, no matter the officers and soldiers of the division, they cherish their lives!
But in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Osaka Division, they are not doing it for fun, let alone being useless.You must know that Osaka is the frontier of Japan's "Meiji Restoration" after all, and the people there were rich and enlightened early.

In the Kanto area of ​​Japan, especially in the Hokkaido area, the **** fanatics who have never seen anything in the world, as long as they are fooled by the high-level Japanese army, it is like being beaten with "chicken blood".The people in the Osaka Division are very calm. They know that they must do their best to make a fortune, but if it is a war, especially a battle that is not sure, they will never die!
Therefore, they were not fooled by the "black card of trouble in the sky". As for the war, it was the business of those Japanese politicians and the emperor himself. Who would really go all out?After all, we have to go back alive and continue to do business and make a lot of money.

But then again, since the rumors exist, there is some truth to them. The Fourth Division performed brilliantly in the war, but more often it was "stealing and playing tricks".

During the Battle of Xuzhou, when the Chinese army retreated, they encountered a "strange Japanese army". The "strange Japanese army" is a certain detachment of the Osaka Division.

Afterwards, the Osaka Division was transferred to support the Battle of Nomonhan. As a result, they were delayed again and again on the road. Although the orders from the superiors were communicated very early, the soldiers were still reluctant to leave.The officers and soldiers in the division all claimed to be suffering from strange diseases and asked to stay behind, which angered the Kwantung Army Command. Is it so easy for the imperial army of the Japanese Empire to get sick?
Under the pressure of the superior, one of the captains personally sat in the infirmary, wanting to see what kind of strange disease this group of people are suffering from...
