Chapter 618 Division Commander Seishiro Itagaki’s rants and confidence
From the Xuzhou battlefield, they were suddenly transferred to the Songhu side. The Japanese officers and soldiers of the Japanese 5th Division, including their division commander Seishiro Itagaki, were also puzzled. You must know that his 5th Division was under the jurisdiction of
The 9th and 21st brigades, each of which was under the jurisdiction of two infantry regiments, plus engineering, health, and logistics transportation units directly under the division, had a total strength of more than 30,000 elite Japanese aggressor officers and soldiers.
Moreover, the division commander Seishiro Itagaki's record was also very powerful. For example, in the Battle of Niangziguan in October 1937, the Fifth Division under his command defeated 50 national army defenders with more than 10,000 troops.
There were more than 100,000 people in the regiment, and the national army suffered heavy casualties.
Also in the Battle of Xinkou, the Fifth Division commanded by Itagaki Seishiro launched a fierce frontal attack on the 200,000-strong army commanded by General Wei Lihuang with a main force of 30,000 Japanese invaders. After a fierce battle for almost a month, the Japanese army was defeated.
The army suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and even dozens of generals were killed.
It is also because of this that after tasting the invincible performance, the Fifth Division commanded by the division commander Seishiro Itagaki dared to pursue and defeat more than 40 national troops with the strength of one division unscrupulously.
The division's troops actually succeeded in capturing Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi, and defeated Commander Yan's Shanxi-Sui Army and evacuated Taiyuan in a very embarrassed state.
"Baga! When did the 14th Division become so useless? It couldn't even defeat an army of Chinese weapon masters?"
"And yet he was embarrassed in front of so many foreign troops and foreign naval fleets? He was even publicized and ridiculed by the front pages of major foreign newspapers? And he was defeated while many Chinese people were watching.
Down?"
"What a shame! It's so shameful. All the glory and face of the empire have been completely lost by them!"
"Hmph! No wonder the 14th Division is such a vulnerable useless division. Even its own division commander Matsuki Sadaki was blown up, and a heavy artillery regiment was also blown up together!"
"The division commander Matsuki Sadaki is really a waste among wastes. I don't even know how he became the division commander!"
"The most annoying thing is that I was asked to take a train from North China, which is so far away, to the Songhu occupied area, which is so far away?"
"I don't know what the thoughts of the base camp and the senior officials who commanded the Xuzhou battle this time are coming from? Instead of dispatching the nearby divisions to support this useless 14th Division, they instead chose the distance and dispatched my fifth division.
past?"
"Isn't it true that none of the divisions on the Sixth General Yan Jun's side can fight?"
"That's why I was transferred from the commander of the Second Army, Nishio Hisao, to Songhu, right?"
"And now the 10th Division of Rensuke Isotani, the 16th Division of Nakajima Imaogo, and the 114th Division of Suematsu Shigeharu are in great need of me at the critical moment of converging with Taierzhuang?"
"What kind of operational situation is this?"
"Isn't there something wrong with their minds? It completely violates the normal operation of dispatching troops?"
The division commander Itagaki Seishiro, who was riding in the train, kept chattering, complaining that his 5th Division was suddenly thrown away from the 10th Division when it was preparing to join Taierzhuang to join Isotani Rensuke for no reason.
The unusual situation here in Songhu was dispatched.
He was really puzzled.
"Forget it! No matter what the situation is, it's fine. Anyway, if we go to fight there, my fifth division will be invincible!"
"All Chinese troops are vulnerable!"
"I can use tens of thousands of troops on the Taiyuan side to pursue and defeat more than 40 divisions of the Chinese Army. Then after arriving in the Songhu occupied area, I can still perform well and kill those German-armed Chinese troops.
If a person falls on his back, he will suffer heavy casualties!"
"Of course my goal is to completely annihilate those damn German and Chinese armies!"
Finally, after finishing his rant, the division commander Seishiro Itagaki was also extremely confident and confirmed his fighting will after arriving in Songhu.
Afterwards, he also began to close his eyes and rest.
At this moment, Second Army Commander Nishio Hisao, Commander Terauchi Juichi, and First Army Commander Kozuki Kiyoshi, dispatched which division to replace the 5th Division of division commander Seishiro Itagaki to Taierzhuang
Go there to join Isoya Rensuke's 10th Division.
The units they can choose from include Kenji Doihara's 14th Division, Kawagishi Bunzaburo's 20th Division, Shimomoto Kumiya's 108th Division, and the 109th Division of Yamagan Shigehara.
But which one to choose, they were immediately stumped.
The reason why they agreed to dispatch the 5th Division of the Division Commander Seishiro Itagaki from the Second Army to fight in Songhu for no reason was because the performance of the 5th Division of the Division Commander Seishiro Itagaki was very dazzling.
,
And now the base camp and their majesty are very concerned about the follow-up battle against the German weapon clone forces in the Songhu occupied area, which is why they are so reluctant to give up and dispatch the 5th division of the division commander Seishiro Itagaki, in the past
