Chapter 196 Beast Division
"Hayi!"
The head of the Sixth Division, Sesuko, bowed his head heavily and said proudly:
"Please rest assured that our 6th Division has an extremely glorious historical tradition. Since its establishment in the 21st year of Meiji (1888), it has been invincible and invincible!"
Tani Suo does have proud capital. The 6th Division, also known as Kumamoto Division, is the A-level Division of the Japanese Army. It is one of the 17 standing divisions in Japan before the outbreak of World War II, code-named "Ming".
The Sixth Division and the Second Division are known as the two most powerful and combat-capable brigades in the Japanese Army. They are well-equipped and have a wild and fierce fighting style. They are one of the main troops involved in the Nanjing Massacre during the Japanese invasion of China.
Tani Shouo was a farmer and graduated from the 15th Infantry Division of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioners School in November 1903. In March of the following year, he was awarded the rank of infantry lieutenant.
On June 5, 1935, he served as the commander of the left-behind division of the 9th Division and on December 2, he served as the commander of the 6th Division.
In 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Tani Suo was the leader of the lieutenant general of the Japanese 6th Division and led his troops to participate in the battle to attack North China. In North China, he also allowed his subordinates to massacre civilians.
Tanisuo emphasized when he taught land tactics at the Japanese Naval University: "Plunder, robbers, and strong x-ray during combat are important means to maintain morale."
Therefore, the Sixth Division led by Tani Shouo is completely a group of brutal and barbaric war machines, burning, killing, robbing and looting along the way, and everywhere they pass, they all become bloody hell on earth!
Especially after Nanjing fell in the original history, the fleeing Chinese Nanjing citizens and the Kuomintang army soldiers who surrendered with their weapons were crowded on the main streets!
Tansuo instructed and condone his subordinates to carry out inhumane massacres, threw grenades at innocent people, fired with machine guns, and killed people with sabers himself. Among them, he himself forced more than ten Chinese women.
After entering the city, the Japanese army of the 6th Division became very vicious and created a Nanjing massacre that shocked China and the world within 8 days of occupying Nanjing. The corpses of the Chinese military and civilians killed in Xiaguan alone reached 2 kilometers long and 50 meters wide, and blood dyed the Yangtze River red.
Gao Chengshouyi, the leader of the 6th Regiment of the Division who invaded Nanjing, said in his diary that on December 14, 1937, he saw the banks of the Xiaguan River in Nanjing:
"The corpses were washed over like drifting wood; on the shore, the corpses piled up overlapping across the sky. These corpses may be thousands or tens of thousands, and the number is very large!
It is no exaggeration to say that the Sixth Division is a complete beast division!
"Yoxi, then please Gu Shoujun!"
The old devil Yanagawa Heisuke bowed his head to Tanisuo, and then gave a serious instructor: "After the 6th Division enters the Kinshan area, please be careful!
It is best to wait until the heavy artillery brigade participates in the siege together, and do not repeat the same mistakes by the camp. The Chinese officers who commanded the Jinshan Guardian and Haidian Defense War are extremely cunning and are an opponent worthy of attention!”
Speaking of this, the old Japanese devil, Heisuke Yanagawa, began to heal again, and more than 5,000 people were killed in just one day, which was equivalent to half a month of casualties of the Japanese army on the Songhu battlefield.
Before yesterday, Yanagawa Heisuke was still mocking the 1st Independent Brigade, the 11th Independent Brigade and the 10th Division were incompetent, and they would have suffered heavy casualties in front of the Chinese army with absolutely weak military and weapons!
"Please rest assured, Commander! Our 6th Division will definitely live up to expectations!"
Tani Shouo was solemn and obeyed the rules, but she was dissatisfied in her heart. Instead, she thought that Yanagawa Heisuke was "afraid of a rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years"!
"What should I do? The Japanese devils are so fierce. Where can I go to find reinforcements now?"
After receiving a series of telegrams, Zhang Fakui pulled his hair in great pain. General Zhang didn't have much hair, but now he is almost bald.
Why did Zhang Fakui pull his hair so anxiously?
That's not because guarding the Jinshan Guard was the responsibility of his Eighth Army. Now the Japanese army has made a large-scale landing in Haiyan County, with its troops aimed directly at Jiaxing, Jiashan, Jinshan, and Songjiang, Hangzhou!
Once the Japanese quickly occupy Jinshan and conquer Songjiang, they will not only directly cut off the major railway and highway traffic routes, but will also directly lead to the sharp deterioration of the entire Battle of Songhu!
If that is true, then Zhang Fakui will become the person who takes the blame without any suspense, and it will be light to send it to a military court.
Therefore, when Zhang Fakui learned that the Japanese army had made a large landing in Haiyan County, he stared at the map and stayed up all night to look for the troops!
However, it is hard to cook without rice. The Eighth Army has only 5 divisions under its jurisdiction (55th Division, 57th Division, 61st Division, 62nd Division and 63rd Division), of which the 55th Division, 57th Division and 62nd Division have been crippled by the Japanese army. The 63rd Division is now facing a siege of the Japanese army and is facing a catastrophe. The only remaining regiment of the 62nd Division is stationed in Jinshan County. What should I do?
Huang Qixiang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, suggested at this time: "It's better to transfer the 61st Division to reinforce. After all, the 61st Division is the old foundation of the 19th Route Army and its combat effectiveness is not bad!"
"Do you think I don't want to? I have this card in my hand now!"
Zhang Fakui shook his head helplessly and sighed: "The problem is that Chairman Jiang will not let him move! Can I still disobey the orders and not obey?"
Huang Qixiang's face darkened and he complained unhappily: "I'm angry when talking about this! Is the 61st Division still considered the Eighth Army's unit? Since it is the Eighth Army's unit, why not let it move?"
"It's boring not to say this!"
Zhang Fakui waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Since Zhong Song took over, he has almost changed all the original officers at the company level and above!
The military system has also been demolished and started over again. Now people are in panic, so how can they have any combat power? It only takes a long time to hold on. I am afraid there is no difference between having or not!"
Huang Qixiang sighed helplessly: "There is no other way. Now we can only count on the Jinshan County defenders to create another miracle and delay the Japanese army for a few more days! In this way, the 69th Army, who is coming to defend Songjiang, can slowly work hard and last a few more days!"
At 2 pm on November 6, 1937, the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army arrived first in Jinshan County and Jinshanwei as an advance army.
"Yoxi, I finally arrived at Jinshan County. The damn Chinese pig made the imperial army go around a big circle and spend nearly two more days!"
Major General Tokutaro Sakai, the commander of the 11th Brigade, picked up his telescope and looked at the Jinshan County Town not far away. Then he was surprised and said, "What's going on? Even a Chinese defender can't see the city wall?"
The captain of the 13th Regiment, Colonel Okamoto, smiled proudly: "This is not surprising. The Japanese Imperial Army has always been invincible in every battle. The Chinese army has long been frightened. It has been normal for abandoning the city to escape!"
"That's cheaper that hateful Chinese pig! The division commander also asked us to wipe out the Chinese defenders in the Jinshan area and kill the cunning Chinese commander!
Humph, what a bunch of cowards who are afraid of death!”
Sakai Tokutaro cursed with resentment, then turned around and said, "But you have to be careful, don't fall into the trap of the Chinese army!
