Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1109
Before the First World War at Dazhou Fort, no one realized that Japanese soldiers were no match for Xuebing.As for the Xuebing army, even Ouyang Yun did not expect that his soldiers would be one-sided when they were fighting the devils with bayonets.On the part of the Japanese army, even Koizumi, who has a complete grasp of the history of the Japanese army's various units, did not expect such a thing to happen.

Only two students from the first battalion and first company of the 502nd Regiment escaped back.When Masanfumi Arima found out that Kataoka Kenshi and the others were not opponents of cadets at all, he, who had always ignored life, immediately ordered an indiscriminate bombardment.

The sound of the cannon was booming, and at that moment, the soldiers on both sides who were fighting desperately just now were all drowned by the fireworks from the explosion.

When the shells rained down, Kataoka Kenshi was sweating profusely holding a machete stuck in his abdomen and trying to pull it out, while Fang Yun was shooting with a gun. In front, the whole body of the three devils rushing towards him was trembling, blood spurting from their bodies like a funnel.

The confrontation between China and Japan on this day was the bloodiest battle. Afterwards, although the Japanese army launched several attacks, they were all scratches. fell into an eerie silence.

It was past seven o'clock in the evening, and in the meeting room of the Kaga, Yamamoto 56, Koizumi Toshiichiro, Tsukahara Two Four Three, Arima Masaofumi, the captains of several main battleships, and the division heads of two marine corps, nearly ten Several devils were sitting around a table discussing the morning's war.

Naturally, Yamamoto 56 was the first to speak, and he said with a sullen face: "I think you all saw the battle in the morning. It's really chilling. The Imperial Army, which claims to be the second strongest in the world, was actually defeated in the best stabbing." I gave it to the people of China. I really can’t understand, is it because the cadet army is too strong, or our soldiers have fallen? Aikawa-kun, can you give me a reasonable explanation?”

The landing operation was originally commanded by Onizuka Shomuro, but with the heavy casualties of his brigade, it was impossible to do anything more, so Yamamoto 56 directly assigned his boss, Admiral Aikawa Kadotanaka, as the front-line commander.It was he who commanded the landing battle this morning.

Aikawa Kakuda stood up, lowered his head and said in shame: "Your Excellency, I'm sorry to disappoint you. If necessary, I will personally lead the team to land tomorrow."

Since the continuous judgment and tactical errors, Koizumi Toshiichiro has become a lot more humble now.He had originally made up his mind to just listen and not talk, but after listening to Aikawa's words, he still couldn't help it. He glanced at Yamamoto and said, "Your Excellency, I have something to say."

"please say."

"I don't think it's the commander's fault. Your Excellency, please forgive me for being rude. I suddenly discovered that our Marine Corps' strength is really—terrible. If I had known that they were so useless, I would have opposed this action."

Koizumi's words are tantamount to slapping Aikawa and another division commander Shigeru Sawada in the face.The faces of the two became ugly in an instant. As a member of the Navy, Aikawa knew the status of Koizumi in Yamamoto's heart, so it was difficult to refute, and Sawada Shigeru, who was temporarily seconded, did not have these scruples.He immediately returned the color, staring at Koizumi with sharp eyes, and said: "Your Excellency is very arrogant. But may I ask, do you understand land warfare? How much do you know about the apprentice army? The imperial army training system has existed for hundreds of years. Yes, it is precisely because of this that we were able to achieve devastating victories in inland China. Could it be that those victories were handed over by the Chinese people? There is an old saying in China that sitting and talking does not hurt your back. Your Excellency, I think it means It's someone like you..."

Zetian directly attacked Koizumi personally, and Yamamoto couldn't stand it anymore.Zetian was only temporarily seconded to the United Fleet. He didn't want to scold his subordinates directly, but it was okay to criticize tactfully. He said: "Okay, Zetian-kun, let's not say a few words. I called everyone to open this forum today. The purpose of the meeting is to solve the problem, not just to hear you complaining to each other. We have only been in Hainan for three days, but the Marine Corps has already lost more than one regiment—we only have four regiments in total , you have some free time to fight, why don't you think about how to make full use of the remaining three alliances to accomplish your combat objectives?"

Zetian stood up and bowed to Yamamoto to show respect, and then said: "Your Excellency, what happened this morning is enough to prove that the area around Wanning is the key area for the Chinese to guard against. As you said, our landing force has been severely damaged , I think it's time to implement the second battle plan. Your Excellency, this time, please let me command the landing operation. Although Koizumi-kun's words are very annoying, they are also true—the combat power of the Marine Corps is indeed too great. It's worse. I think maybe our Osaka Division can save some face for the Marine Corps."

When Zetian said the last sentence, his tone was quite impassioned, but to his embarrassment, after he finished speaking, everyone in the conference room turned strange.

The atmosphere became a bit delicate for a while. In the end, as the supreme commander of the joint fleet, Yamamoto 56 showed the courage and courage that a commander should have. He stared at Zetian and asked, "Sawada-kun, are you sure?"

Zetian thought for a while and said firmly: "Of course. Your Excellency, I know that there are some unpleasant rumors about our Osaka division in China, but I want to say that those are all misunderstandings about our division. Perhaps, Our combat equipment is not the best in the empire, but our Osaka division's desire for victory and honor is absolutely no worse than any other division."

Among the old and young devils present at the meeting, Arima Masamune had the most upright temper. He suddenly sneered: "A heart longing for victory and honor? It should be wealth—"

"Shut up!" He didn't finish his sarcasm, but was severely stopped by Yamamoto.Yamamoto turned to Zetian and said kindly: "Sawada-kun, then please. After you go back, please explain to the officers that the victory of the Hainan Raiders depends on the performance of the Osaka Division."

"It's fine, sir, just relax."

At around ten o'clock, after the meeting ended, Zetian and the others were sent away. Yamamoto, Koizumi, Arima, and Tsukahara returned to the conference room. The other three looked at Yamamoto, and then Arima asked: " Your Excellency, have you really decided?"

Yamamoto smiled bitterly: "Is there any other way for me?"

Koizumi carefully chose his words and said cautiously: "The Osaka Division seems to have an alias called the Merchant Division. Your Excellency, if you can't learn from the army in the southwest, you can also take precautions in the southwest. With the combat power of the Osaka Division, I'm afraid—"

Yamamoto interrupted him with a wave of his hand. He glanced at the three of them and said: "Our navy and army have always been at odds, and you all know that. In this situation, how much support do you expect the army to give us? To be honest If they can lend us the Osaka Division, we should already be grateful. The combat power of the Osaka Division is indeed not good, but this is when they encounter a strong enemy. If their opponent is only the local armed forces of the Chinese Even some savages, I believe they can still fully reflect the might of the imperial army. Why do I have to conduct reconnaissance repeatedly, just to find the most suitable landing place for them. Anyway, we cannot lose this battle If we want to reform our navy and move from the era of battleships to the era of aircraft carriers, we need the support of the headquarters. Even if we have enough enthusiasm for serving the country, without financial support, we will not be able to do anything. Okay, listen to me, next For a few days, we will continue to confuse the Chinese people's sight, so the sacrifice will continue. In addition, the reconnaissance work must be more detailed..."

It was almost midnight when the meeting of the four including Yamamoto was dispersed, and after sending Arima and Tsukahara away, Yamamoto chatted with Koizumi alone for a while, and the topic they talked about was about Koizumi's establishment of a special naval force.

Originally, Yamamoto thought that developing a land special force as a navy might have reversed the priority. However, the battle that took place at the Dazhou Fort this morning made him realize that he has an invincible marine corps The importance of the importance of - "The occupation of China will ultimately need to be reflected by ground forces, so it is necessary to have a strong marine corps. Koizumi, although you are more interested in the navy personally, I think you should be in charge of the land force. The training and command of the team, this will give full play to your strengths. Koizumi, I will leave this to you in the future."

In the end, he said this to Koizumi.

Koizumi gladly took the order.He also felt that instead of always talking about military affairs on paper, it is better to train an elite army with the modern training methods he has mastered, and only in this way can he help Yamamoto and allow him to firmly control the navy.

When Yamamoto summoned a group of high-ranking Japanese officials from the United Fleet to hold a meeting on the Kaga, Ouyang Yun, Chen Shichang and others in the former temporary command headquarters of the Higashiyama Lingxue Fifth Army were also studying the battle that took place at the Dazhou Fort in the morning. .

"It's a one-sided battle. It seems that the strength of the Japanese Marine Corps is not very good," Chen Shichang said on the side.

Ouyang Yun didn't expect it to be like this either, he couldn't help but relax a little from his nervous state.He said: "It is too early to draw conclusions. The little devil has suffered two big losses in the vicinity of Dazhou Island and Dazhou Fort in a row, so it is possible to have reservations. The old devil Yamamoto 56 is not so easy to get along with. Yes."

Purely from the military point of view, Ouyang Yun highly respects Yamamoto 56.Before crossing, because of the relationship between China and the United States, he didn't have a lot of how YY beat the old United States.Thinking about it makes people feel excited. It seems that only Yamamoto can do such things by sneak attacking key US military ports and severely injuring them.

In his usual communication with Chen Shichang and the others, he has unintentionally revealed this point many times.Therefore, since it was not the first time he heard such words, Chen Shichang was no stranger to it.He smiled and said, "No matter how good Old Devil Yamamoto is, it should be an indisputable fact that their Marine Corps is a weak spot. Commander-in-Chief, Commander Shan's defense strategy is very targeted."

"Well, the old single did not disappoint me."

"Commander-in-chief, will the little devil really choose Qiongnan as the main attack direction?"

"Wait, there should be an answer in at most three days."
