I rise from the sword

Chapter 227 Japanese Reinforcements, Fourth Division

After the reward for Yang Lin is over.

Fu Yisheng, Zhang Riming and others sat back down.

The war room also returned to silence.

Fu Yisheng glanced around, and said with a serious face: "Everyone, although our army has just annihilated the first and fourth brigades of the Japanese independent mixed brigade, and severely damaged the second independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, and recaptured Jiaocheng Mountain. A lot of lost ground ahead.

However, according to reliable information, Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the Japanese First Army, did not punish Hirata Kenkichi for this failure, but instead sent him an additional division.

It is estimated that in another 3 days, these reinforcements will arrive at Wenshui Pass!
Therefore, although we have wiped out nearly 3 Japanese troops, the situation in front of us is still not optimistic! "

Hearing that the Japanese army had dispatched another division, the atmosphere in the combat room suddenly became cold.

The Japanese army invested troops in Wenshuiguan regardless of the cost. Looking at the situation, I am afraid that they want to put all their eggs in one basket and fight a decisive battle with the defenders!

Fu Yisheng glanced around, and then said solemnly: "And this division is the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army!"

"What? The Fourth Division of the Japanese Army?"

When they heard that the reinforcements of the Japanese army were the [-]th Division, the officers in the Operation Department couldn't help but gasped, and their expressions became extremely solemn.

Because this fourth division is not an ordinary division, but one of the 17 four-four standing divisions of the Japanese army.

The so-called 4th Division is a division consisting of 1 field infantry regiments, 1 field artillery regiment, 1 cavalry regiment, 1 engineer regiment, and [-] transport regiment.

Among them, as the standing A division of the Japanese army, it will inevitably be accompanied by a tank and chariot brigade, and its total strength often exceeds 28000 or even 30000 people.

And, all of them are the most elite soldiers!
It can be said that the combat effectiveness of any standing Class A division is almost twice that of the 37th Division, a special division of the three-three system!

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that everyone will show such a shocked expression.

"Fourth Division?"

After Yang Lin heard that the Japanese reinforcements were the Fourth Division, a sneer that was not easy to detect appeared on the corner of his mouth.

These officers only knew that the [-]th Division was the regular A-type division of the Japanese army, but they didn't know the glorious history of the [-]th Division.However, Yang Lin, the traverser, knew it all too well.

Even when I read about the glorious history of the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, I laughed out loud more than once.

What surprised Yang Lin was that the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army in history should be on the scene in the south at this time. How could it appear in Wenshuiguan, Shanxi?

Maybe it's because the parallel world I traveled through is different from the original history.

After all, Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei, and Bantian United are all fictional.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin was relieved.

Now that we are talking about the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army, the third child feels that it is necessary to mention the glorious history of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army to readers.

The Fourth Division of the Japanese Army was organized in Osaka, Japan, and almost all of its troops came from the Osaka area, so it was also called the Osaka Division.

The Osaka area has become an important business district in Japan in ancient times many years ago, so the Fourth Division of Osaka is also known as the Merchant Division. Founded in 1888, it is the 17 standing divisions formed by the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II. One of the regiments, a Type A division of the Army, is one of the oldest divisions in the Japanese army.

Its soldiers are mainly composed of various vegetable vendors and traveling merchants in Osaka.

As businessmen, people in Osaka are only thinking about profit and money, and they don't have any beliefs at all.

If you want to expect him to die on the battlefield, it is better to expect the enemy to fall to his death.

At the end of the Xuzhou Battle in 1938, as the No.14 Division of the Japanese Army raided Lanfeng, it cut off the connection between the Fifth Theater and the First Theater of the National Army.

In order to prevent being encircled by the Japanese army on all sides, General Li Delin, the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater, was forced to command the transfer of 40 national troops.

However, on the way to transfer, they encountered the Osaka Division, which was intercepted by the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army.

The national army has been marching for several days, exhausted physically and mentally, and their physical strength has reached the limit.

However, the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army waited for work with leisure. They were not only well-equipped, but also had strong fighting qualities, which was far beyond what the National Army in the Fifth Theater could handle.

In General Li Delin's view, even if the hundreds of thousands of troops in the fifth war zone could pass through the Japanese defense zone, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

All the soldiers in the Fifth War Zone, including General Li Delin, Commander-in-Chief, and General Bai Jiansheng, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, all looked extremely pale.

I thought it was over!

But no matter what, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to break through.

Then, an unexpected scene happened to General Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng.

The Fourth Division of the Japanese Army let the national army pass without firing a single shot.

Not only did they not shoot, the Osaka people even took the initiative to step back a little distance in order to avoid causing unnecessary friction.

Finally, when Terauchi Shouichi, the commander of the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army at that time, was held accountable, the people in Osaka explained that they had not received the order to intercept from their superiors.

Hearing this answer, Terauchi Kotobuki almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and even had the urge to shoot Matsui Ming, the head of the Fourth Division at the time!

"Baga! It's really too Baga!"

It was also fortunate that Li Delin's unit encountered the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army, that is, the Osaka Division. Otherwise, if they encountered any other Japanese division, even a brigade, the consequences would be very serious!
In 1939, when Japan and the Soviet Union fought a war at Nomonkan, the Osaka Army Corps was transferred north to support the front line. However, after the order was issued, they did not start marching for a long time, because many Japanese soldiers of the Osaka Division were sick and hospitalized as soon as they received the combat order.

Of course, these patients are all fakes, they can't fight wars, but the gang of Osaka people are No.

From the garrison to Nuomenkan, it only takes four days for other troops, but the Fourth Division has traveled for more than 10 days, and the non-combat attrition is very serious, more than half.

But it must be worth mentioning that although the combat effectiveness of these Osaka people is not good, their lives are very good.

On the day they arrived at Nuomenkan, the Soviet Union ceased war with Japan, and the sick soldiers of the Fourth Regiment were also discharged from the hospital.

Ironically, on the return trip, the Fourth Division, full of staff and full of energy, became the most powerful unit in the Japanese army, while the Second Division, which was the first to rush to the battlefield, lost its armor and armor, The battalion was full of wounded soldiers, looking extremely embarrassed.

During the Battle of Changsha, the Fourth Division was designated as the 11th Army's battle order.

At that time, Anan Wei, the commander of the 11th Army, let the Fourth Division play the main force. As a result, an unexpected scene happened to Anan Wei...
