Super Anti-war System
Chapter 793: 47th Infantry Regiment
In the real history of the War of Resistance against Japan, all devils definitely deserve the title of war criminals.
Especially the big devils, if they were to be sentenced to death by a wave, they would never be wronged by good people.
Among the many big devils, as a Class A war criminal, Gu Shoufu has done many evil deeds against the Chinese people.
Gu Shoufu, and the Sixth Division below him, are very famous among those who know the history of the War of Resistance against Japan.
In fact, the Sixth Division was originally a left-behind division.
Their task is very simple, that is, to look after other divisions fighting on the front line of China, and to protect the Emperor and the mainland to ensure that they will not be attacked by the Chinese army.
In the island nation’s army, after years of evolution, the basic tactical corps is the division, which is the highest-level fixed organization unit of the island nation’s army.
Of course, above the division and regiment, there are also units such as the front army and the first army.
However, such super forces are temporary organizations, and their subordinate divisions are often mobilized.
Before the beginning of the July 7th Incident, that is, before the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, the island nation had a total of 17 permanent divisions.
They are all standing armies of the island nations, and their designations are Guards, 1st to 20th Divisions.
In name, this is 21 divisions.
In fact, this is not the case.
For example, the fifth, thirteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth divisions are all vacant establishments.
However, as the anti-Japanese war situation intensified, the island nation gradually began to build these divisions.
That's not to say, the island nation continues to expand its army and build more divisions.
Take the sixth division, which is a permanent division, as an example. The organization of the troops is a four-unit system.
In other words, the division has under the jurisdiction of 2 brigades, and each brigade has under the jurisdiction of 2 infantry regiments.
In fact, these Grade A divisions are divided into two types.
The first is the packhorse division, with a total establishment of 28,500.
Such a division has an artillery wing under its jurisdiction.
The Artillery Wing has four groups under its jurisdiction, with a total of 48 mountain cannons, or wild artillery, with a caliber of 75 mm.
In addition, each infantry wing also governs an artillery squadron with four mountain artillery and an infantry artillery squadron with four 92 infantry artillery.
The second type of Class A division is the horse-drawn division, with a total establishment of 25,000 people, and its strength is slightly inferior to that of the pack-horse division.
In fact, more than 20,000 devils are just the main force.
In addition, on the battlefield, these divisions will also be equipped with subsidiary units.
Such as Cavalry Brigade, Tank Wing, Independent Engineer Wing, Independent Field Artillery Wing, Independent Field Heavy Artillery Wing, Field Heavy Artillery Wing, Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade, Mortar Brigade, Independent Mountain Artillery Wing, Telecom Wing, Railway Wing, field hospital, etc.
On July 28, 1937, after a conspiracy, the island base camp issued an order to invade China against the 6th Division.
On August 1, in the hysterical kneeling and licking of the citizens of Kumamoto City, especially the anti-women associations of various countries, the 6th Division and the more than 25,000 devils of the 6th Division embarked on the sixth invasion of China.
After arriving in China, they were incorporated into the 1st Army of the North China Garrison.
When invading the North China region, along the way, the devils of the 6th Division were burned and killed under Gu Shoufu's connivance.
What they are good at is nothing else, but they do things to the Chinese people.
Moreover, this kind of hands-on is mostly killing!
This time, because the battle situation of the Battle of Songhu was more anxious, in order to defeat the main force of the Chinese army, the staff headquarters of the island country came up with a big move.
Form the 10th Army and land on Hangzhou Bay Jinshanwei, thus cutting off the Chinese army's retreat!
For this reason, in addition to the 18th and 114th Divisions originally scheduled to be incorporated into the 10th Army, the 6th Division was also incorporated into the 10th Army.
In the real history of the War of Resistance against Japan, in the late period of the Songhu Battle, to be precise, after the Tenth Army landed on Jinshanwei, China began to withdraw its troops.
Because the order was too hasty, and because most commanders at all levels sacrificed their lives for the country, and the new commanders were not yet familiar with the troops, the great retreat turned into a great retreat.
All these gave Gu Shoufu's Sixth Division an excellent opportunity for performance.
While madly chasing the soldiers who broke up in China, the Sixth Division also played a massacre in Kunshan!
What I have to say is that when the Sixth Division jumped out and hunted down the Chinese army, something happened.
At that time, the upper echelons of the island country believed that there were too few remaining troops and that a large number of army expansions were still underway, and it was not appropriate to expand the scale of the war too soon.
Therefore, the General Staff Headquarters of the Island States stipulated that the line from Suzhou to Jiaxing was a restricted line, and all troops were strictly prohibited from crossing it.
In this way, the capital of China, that is, Nanjing, was drawn outside the battle line.
However, this restriction is intolerable to the upper-level generals of the 10th Army, such as commander Yanagawa Heisuke, and especially Tani Shouo, who were dazzled by the victory.
In fact, in the island armies, as early as the Russo-Japanese War, there was a tradition of "less graciousness".
Those generals who dare to defy orders and make their own decisions are often regarded as rare talents and are promoted mainly because of their extraordinary achievements.
After some urgent consultations, Yanagawa Heisuke and Tani Shoufu decided not to listen to the base camp!
Therefore, on November 15th, the Sixth Division carried the staff headquarters on its back and pursued Nanjing alone.
On November 20, Tada Juncai, the Deputy Chief of Staff, received a message from the 10th Army.
At this time, the 6th Division had already crossed this line.
In the face of the fact, there was no alternative, the Island State Staff Headquarters abolished the Sujia Line.
On December 1, with the consent of the Emperor, the Supreme Command of the Island Country issued an order:
Capture the capital of China as soon as possible and prompt China to surrender!
On December 5, 1937, the vanguard of Tani Shoufu's 6th Division, after a rapid march, arrived at the outskirts of Nanjing.
Immediately afterwards, the devils of the 6th Division, with their superior firepower, continued to destroy the Huaxia garrison troops.
On December 12, 1937, the 47th Wing of the 6th Division occupied the front of the Zhonghua Gate.
After opening this gap, the next day, that is, the evening of the 13th, Nanjing fell!
After entering the city, the brutal Japanese army of the 6th Division became beastly and immediately began the massacre!
In the Xiaguan area alone, the corpses of Chinese soldiers and civilians killed by the Sixth Division were covered with a river surface of 2 kilometers long and 50 meters wide!
...
Haven't officially landed yet~lightnovelpub.net~ Two groups in succession were destroyed by the Chinese Army Corps! ?
In this situation, as the forerunner of the three divisions of the Tenth Army, the Sixth Division and Division Shoufu Nagatani was furious.
At the suggestion of Chief of Staff Shimodo Ichikura, Major General Tokutaro Shii, commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade, and Major General Ushishima Mitsubishi, commander of the 36th Infantry Brigade, Yasuo Tani immediately came up with a new offensive plan.
In the 13th Infantry Wing, there are a total of four infantry groups.
Now, the two brigades were destroyed, and the 13th Wing lost half of its combat effectiveness.
For this reason, Yasuo Tani ordered the 47th Infantry Regiment to be dispatched!
In the eyes of Tani Shoufu and the big devils, it is actually very embarrassing to do so.
Also, when facing the Chinese army in the past, they often used more to fight less.
The most important thing is that, basically, they can win every battle!
