Chapter 169 The Weak Fourth Division
Shiro Inaba and Ichiro Shida didn't believe what Shigeru Sawada said. They couldn't figure out how to transfer the Fourth Division here. They had been staying well in the Northeast before.
Not only did they not understand, but even the soldiers and grassroots officers of the Fourth Division could not understand that they were doing well in the Northeast and could do some small business, but they were transferred to the front line, which made them very depressed.
They were going to come last month, but they forced themselves to work hard until now. Some soldiers are still "sick!" and are still on the way. Now those who come here are all forcibly arrested!
"General Shigeru Sawada, the Eighth Route Army here is not that easy to deal with. They are even more difficult to deal with than the National Army in Chongqing. The National Army in Chongqing is fighting positional wars, but the Eighth Route Army will not fight positional wars with you.
They are all fighting guerrilla warfare. Every time a small group of troops goes out, it is very dangerous. They often concentrate a large number of troops to ambush our troops, or send small groups to harass our troops. You should pay attention to this!" Teraunuchi Suichi continued to speak there.
"Hi!" Shigeru Sawada said.
At this time, officers above the corps commander of the 6th Division and the 20th Division were already waiting outside. They were about to wait for the new division commander. Teruchi Nakachi talked for a while and then asked Shiro Inaba and Ichiro Nada to go out. The two of them were left in the conference room of the command center.
"How is the morale of the Fourth Division?" Teraunuchi said.
"Report to General, it's great!" Shigeru Sawada stood up and said.
"To be honest! I have been the commander of that division and know the virtues of those soldiers!" Teruchi said.
"Hey, they don't want to come. There are more than 3,000 soldiers in the hospital in Manzhouli!" Shiro Sawada said with his head down.
"Baga, I knew it was like this, but I didn't understand. Those people were also soldiers of the empire, so why did this happen!" Teraunuchi cursed very unhappily.
"Hey, but. Please rest assured, General, I will urge them to fight!" Shigeru Sawada said.
"Well, the supervision is to urge, but I don't expect you to take the initiative to attack. This is not realistic at all. I hope you can just defend those county towns, especially Zhongyang County, which is here!" As soon as Teraenai said, he turned around, pointed to the location of Zhongyang County in the map behind, and said to Shigeru Sawada.
"Hi!" Shigeru Sawada nodded and said.
"This is the closest to our transportation line. The Eighth Route Army troops have arrived at the mountainous area here. According to our intelligence, Chongqing has sent a telegram to the Eighth Route Army, and we must destroy our railway. The most important task of your troops is to guard this railway.
So, here, you must send a unit of troops and must defend the county town! We have other troops guarding along the railway line. Your mission is to not let the Eighth Route Army pass under your nose. If you do this, you will make great contributions.
One of your troops from the regiment has passed, and I think the Eighth Route Army will not dare to attack you on their own initiative. They will not dare to attack the city unless there are major casualties in your troops!" Teruchi Toshiba initially told Shigeru Sawada about the situation in Zhongyang County.
When Shiro Zeda heard this, he nodded. He could only defend the county town of Zhongyang County. He felt relieved. It was not that he was afraid of fighting, but that he knew that it would be difficult for the soldiers below to go to the front line to fight, and if he defended the county town, it would be a big problem!
"This time you send a regiment there. At the same time, I will ask the Sixth Division to mobilize two squadrons of troops to assist you. When they get there, they mainly train the troops.
And you are going to patrol the surroundings of the county town. You cannot let the Eighth Route Army pass through the county town and go to the railway. After all, there cannot be soldiers standing every meter. This is unrealistic. It is mainly about swimming and urging!" Shou Tanuchi said.
"Hi, I understand, please rest assured, Commander!" Shigeru Sawada said.
"So which corps are you going to send?" Teraunuchi asked.
He originally didn't need to ask about this matter at all, but he was really worried about the soldiers under the Fourth Division.
"This, I'm going to transfer the 8th Regiment to the place. Their troops have the largest number of troops and have combat experience!" Shigeru Sawada heard this, thought for a while, and spoke.
However, I was also worried. I wonder if the soldiers of the 8th Regiment learned that they had sent them over and would scold them. Maybe half of the soldiers would be hospitalized in Taiyuan by then. In fact, hundreds of soldiers from the 4th Division have already walked to the hospital in Taiyuan.
Although the soldiers of the Fourth Division were unwilling to fight, they were not slow to inquire about the news. They learned that there were many Eighth Route Army activities in the northwest and southwest, and the troops of the 6th Division and the 20th Division were all destroyed. They immediately thought that this place was not safe, but the hospital was still safe.
So many people who heard this news immediately went to the hospital, pretending to have stomachache, dizziness, chest discomfort, stomachache. Anyway, it’s all kinds of excuses, as long as you don’t go to the front line.
When the soldiers who knew it later saw it, they also ran to the hospital of the division regiment. They just ran halfway through, and felt that it was still unsafe, so they were safer to go to the hospital of the Taiyuan Command, so they changed their routes to the hospital of the Taiyuan Command.
After arriving there, I found that some of the soldiers in their division were covering their stomachs, some were lying on the ground, some were humming, and some were leaning against the wall, shouting there.
Soon, the news was sent to the headquarters.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Come in!" Teraunuchi was talking to Shigeru Sawada. When he heard the knock on the door, he shouted in.
"God of General, the telegram from the hospital!" A staff officer walked in and said to Suichi Teraenuchi. As soon as Suichi Teraenuchi heard it, he took the telegram and looked carefully.
"Baga!" After seeing the content of the telegram, Sora Teiuchi stood up in anger. Shigeru Sawada didn't know what was going on. He didn't expect that this matter was still related to him. His troops had just arrived, and the matter at the hospital must have nothing to do with him.
"Baga, go back now, don't you go to the hospital and capture all your soldiers back for me. If you go now, I know they will definitely not be so honest!" Soichi Desouchu shouted loudly at Shigeru Sawada.
"Nani?" Shigeru Sawada was completely confused. He still had his own affairs!
"Look, look at the telegrams sent from the hospital, look at the soldiers, damn it, I went to the hospital as soon as I came here. Are they really sick? They are not even as good as those recruits who have just arrived! Damn it, why did the base camp bring them over!" Teraunuchi scolded loudly there.
When Shigeru Sawada heard this, he picked up the telegram on the table and started reading it.
"Baga, I'll go there right away!" Shigeru Sawada was so angry that his face turned red, he turned around and went out, smearing his face too much. When he came here on the first day, he went straight to the hospital.
After Shiro Zetian came out, they got in the car immediately and took their guards to the Taiyuan Command Hospital. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, they saw many soldiers rushing over here, and there were many soldiers from their division standing at the entrance of the hospital. When the soldiers saw Shiro Zetian's car coming, they squatted down and rolled around, without even caring about the snow and soil on the ground!
"Baga, all of them will return to the camp, and go back to me immediately, otherwise I will kill you!" After Shigeru Sawada got out of the car, he stood there and shouted loudly.
The soldiers thought they hadn't heard it and did whatever they should do. Shigeru Sawada took out his gun and walked directly inside. When he arrived at the door, he found that he could not enter at all. There were people inside, and there was no place to block his feet!
"Baga, go back, go back!"
"Bang bang bang!" Shiro Sawada retreated outside the hospital and shot at the sky. No soldier paid attention to him. He thought to himself, if you have the ability, just shoot, you don't dare to kill me anyway. If you get hurt, you will be hospitalized!
"Damn it, go back to the camp and dispatch troops, and drag it back one by one!" Shigeru Sawada stood there, seeing the soldiers ignoring him so much, and immediately shouted to a staff officer who followed him.
"Hi!" The staff officer immediately turned around and left in the car.
"What's your disease?" Shigeru Sawada came to a soldier and shouted loudly.
"Heart, a little fever! It's too cold!" the soldier said immediately.
"Baga, is there still Manzhouli cold here? Did you hear it when you go back!" Shirou Sawada cursed at the soldier.
"I have a headache, oh!" the soldier said, touching his head.
"Baga, there are medicines to reduce fever in our division's hospital. Get back immediately!" Shigeru Sawada scolded there.
"Ah, yes?" The soldier was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"Get back!" Shigeru Sawada scolded loudly.
"Hi!" The soldier knew that he had to go back and couldn't pretend anymore! When the soldiers next to him heard it, they held back their laughter, and cursed in their hearts. They were headaches. What did you say that you had a fever? How could you pretend?
"I also have a headache. I either have a fever or a pain. I want to come and treat it!" Another soldier said, covering his head.
"Go back, our own hospital can check it!" Shigeru Sawada continued to curse.
"I can't check it. I'm going. They can't check it out and said they need to go to a large hospital for examination." The soldier said immediately.
"Whoever told you, go and find him and ask him to tell me, get back now." Shigeru Sawada pointed to the direction at the door and cursed at the soldier.
"Hi!" The soldier responded helplessly and walked outside. (~^~)
