Chapter 619
Of course, this is a matter of course. The authority of the Japanese military police is much higher than that of other Japanese troops of the same level, so the selection is also very strict.
Among the Japanese people, the military police are very highly regarded. It is not because the military police are popular, but because the unit's remuneration is very high.
Usually, the monthly salary of a first-class soldier in the Japanese army is 8 yuan and 80 cents, and the monthly salary of a first-class soldier in the military police is 50 yuan and 50 cents, which is more than five times that of an ordinary soldier in the army.
The level of military police soldiers is equivalent to that of police inspectors, which is completely different from ordinary soldiers. Therefore, every time the military police recruits soldiers, applicants flock to them, and the competition is extremely fierce and cruel.
At that time, the minimum educational standard for recruiting military police in Japan was to graduate from elementary school. After passing the exam and undergoing training at the military police training center, you could become a formidable military police officer.
Judging from the nature of the work of the military police, they are actually the police in the army, so their training direction and training subjects are completely different from those of ordinary army combat troops.
In addition to regular military training, they also need to learn various military regulations and police techniques, and the targets they target are mainly various criminal activities involving the military, and then gradually spread to all hostile activities against the Japanese army.
Another obvious difference is that every Japanese military policeman is qualified to wear a saber and leather leggings, and senior non-commissioned officers can even wear long riding boots.
Comparing the troops of the two sides, one can immediately tell whether they are superior to each other. Because battlefield discipline is enforced by the military police, front-line troops generally do not like to see the military police.
When they saw the military police coming, they all stood at a distance.
The commander can't control this. Now Ichiro Nakagawa doesn't know that you can see the ping-pong game in front of him, which is very lively, but there are not many people on the other side.
If Ichiro Nakagawa knew this, he could not break through the opponent's defense with a squadron of nearly a whole squadron, and he would have committed suicide on the spot.
As soon as the military police came on stage, the team leader immediately felt that the Japanese were different. The attack was more threatening. Although this was caused by a large number of personnel losses, it had to be admitted. Although our side had the advantage in firepower, fewer personnel were behind the Japanese.
Under the continuous attacks, there was a firepower gap. This made the Japanese progress much faster than before.
The squad leader fired wildly in the direction where the enemy was hiding in the smoke blown up by the grenade to block the approach of the Japanese.
The team leader had fired all the bullets in the magazine and was hiding behind the bunker to reload. The team member exposed half of his body, fired a grenade into the smoke and said to the team leader: "Captain, this is the last round."
The squad leader reloaded his gun and said: "Cover each other, let's retreat!"
Ichiro Nakagawa was in the makeshift command post. On a makeshift map, the chess pieces representing the enemy and ourselves were placed one by one.
After giving a military salute to Nakagawa Ichiro, the commander said: "Your Excellency Colonel, we can now make preliminary confirmation. There are approximately three members of the Wind Team active in this area. One on each side of the east and west. Another one is on guard.
Our small team infiltrated from other directions.
At present, two alleys have been pushed inward on the east and west sides. A squadron of troops has also penetrated into the area between the east and west sides.
Because the west side is close to the city wall, we now plan to eliminate the ones on the east side first to prevent them from flowing to other areas in the city."
Although the commander really didn’t want to tell Ichiro Nakagawa that the enemy he was facing was only composed of three detachments. But if he didn’t report it at this time, wouldn’t Nakagawa Ichiro know about it afterwards? No, he would still know. It’s just that he would know afterward.
When the time comes, I will be even worse off.
The commander now could only hope that Ichiro Nakagawa would have a good temper. Seeing Ichiro Nakagawa nodding with a smile on his face, the commander felt that he had already relaxed half of his worries.
Ichiro Nakagawa said: "You arranged it well and considered every aspect very carefully. This shows that you are a very good officer!"
The commander couldn't believe his ears. Not only was he not scolded, but he was also praised. However, the commander did not get carried away and gave all the credit to Nakagawa Ichiro.
Nakagawa Ichiro interrupted and wanted to flatter the commander in a fancy way. He said: "What a great commander! Now can you please tell me why the enemy has not been eliminated yet.
Commander, you also know that this is BJ City. This is a very important city in the northern region. Now it is not only in this very important city that such a fierce gun battle is taking place. No, no, no, this can no longer be said to be a gun battle.
Now, this is already an urban street fight.
I can tell you that the question just now was not what I wanted to ask. As for who asked the question, it is no longer important to you. What is important to you is when the battle will end."
As expected, the general knew that he was overjoyed. How could there be such an easy-to-talk officer in the army?
The commander said: "In one hour, the troops entering the east and west sides have entered the attack position. It will take another hour."
Ichiro Nakagawa looked at his watch and said: "One hour is pretty good. But Commander, I want to tell you that nearly three hours have passed since the gunshots were fired. In another hour, it might be dark.
.
Moreover, nearly a squadron of people have been lifted out of it. Tell me about this result. How can I tell my superiors? Your command knife has already been sharpened!"
It seems that there is no chance of success in an hour. The commander quickly changed his words. "Half an hour. The fighting will definitely stop within half an hour."
Ichiro Nakagawa looked at the commander and said: "Commander, I hope you can understand the seriousness of the situation now. No need to think about anything else. I have transferred an artillery squad for you. I hope you can make good use of this artillery squad.
."
The commander already felt that his future was bleak. He had only eliminated three squads of enemies, and now the force he had dispatched was equivalent to the number of people in a large group. No matter how many reasons he had, it was of no use now.
In order to avoid being forced to commit seppuku, the commander directly ordered the troops to attack without waiting for the artillery squad to arrive.
But an infantry squad only has two light machine guns and two grenade launchers, and the rest are Type 38 rifles. These Type 38 rifles have no advantage in firepower when faced with semi-automatic rifles. Plus there are too many recruits.
This is also the reason why the Japanese offensive has not made any progress.
