Chapter five hundred and sixty first jade pieces preparation
But for Kawami Mi, even though he wanted to do it in his heart, leaving the troops who were still resisting and escaping by himself was a very shameful thing, and it went against the so-called military ethics in his heart.
Go, we can't go now. Fight, according to the current strength of the troops, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for too long. For Lieutenant General Kawami, now it's a dilemma. If the reinforcements don't arrive for a long time, then with the only one thousand
After many defenders have consumed the embers, I am afraid that what awaits me is to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. As a typical Japanese soldier, being a prisoner is absolutely unacceptable to Kawaamimi.
After hesitating for a moment, Lieutenant General Kawami ordered the destruction of all weapons and equipment that had no ammunition. Whether it was artillery, machine guns, or even a rifle, they must be blown up. At the same time, weapons should be distributed to all non-combatants.
All rushed to the front line to join the battle.
As for the lightly wounded as long as they can still move and lie down inside the fortifications and shoot outwards, as long as the injury is not to the eye, they will all go to the front line. Even if the injured part is the eye, as long as there is no problem with your hands and feet, the same
Issue grenades for charge.
Even seriously wounded people who were awake and conscious were carried to the streets and given ammunition bags or hand grenades to be used as fixed meat bombs. As for those seriously wounded people who had no use value, they were assisted by the military police.
They were loyal to the emperor and strictly ordered all the officers and soldiers in the city not to abandon any barricade or fortification until all of them were destroyed.
In order to make up for the lack of troops, Lieutenant General Kawami Mi issued an order to destroy all the garrison troops, and also issued a recruitment order again. He ordered the entire gendarmerie in the city to dispatch and once again recruit soldiers from among the overseas residents. Unlike the last time, he only recruited soldiers.
Young adults are different. This time, the age limit for recruiting expatriates in the city to participate in the war has been relaxed to the point of almost no standard.
All expatriates under the age of 65 and over 13 who are still able to move, as long as you are a man, are all added to the battlefield. Men over the age of 16 are each issued a rifle and 20 rounds of ammunition.
, two grenades for each person under the age of sixteen.
As for those old, weak, women and children who really cannot go to the battlefield, one grenade will be issued to every three people. Of course, the grenades given to women are used to commit suicide to avoid being insulted by the enemy. There are also those seriously wounded who have no use value.
They also asked the military police to help them be loyal to the emperor.
In a word, if the reinforcements are delayed or there is no order to break out, then none of the Japanese in Tongliao City can fall into the hands of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. To use the slogan he shouted, as long as the entire city of Tongliao and the garrison are
The remaining troops and more than 4,000 Japanese, including all the old, weak, women and children, were to be massacred by a total of 10,000 people.
Of course, the number of 10,000 people is obviously an exaggeration. No matter how important the location of Tongliao, a small county town, is, it cannot be compared with Jiamusi, Qiqihar, Sunwu and Harbin in northern Manchuria. It is not that there are no Japanese civilians in the city, but the number
Not that much.
Including the hundreds of people who had gloriously died for their country on the front line of Kongjiawobao, there were only less than 3,000 people. Ten thousand people were just slogans shouted by Sichuan soldiers. Just like a few years later, they were almost bombed.
Ordinary Japanese people, shouting out "One hundred million pieces of jade are like pieces of jade," are quite mixed with water.
After issuing a series of orders to prepare for the destruction of all ships, Kawami secretly handed over the command to the division's senior combat staff officer, Lieutenant Colonel Kamenashi Haruma, who was also the highest-ranking Japanese military officer in the entire Tongliao City besides him. He ordered him to only attack the enemy troops.
If you don't reach the division headquarters, don't disturb yourself. Return to your office and close the door tightly.
For him, he clearly knows that the current stubborn resistance can only be said to be a desperate struggle. He knows that even if the Fifth Division is dispatched immediately, it may not be able to save the fate of the Fourteenth Division. Those losers in the Kwantung Army who were delayed before
The time is too long. For the Tongliao battlefield, any rescue operation now is already too late unless divine soldiers descend from heaven.
Sitting on the large chair brought from the mainland in his office, listening to the intensive sound of gunfire not far from the window, the orderly with a prosthetic hand in Kawanami carefully wiped the Browning gun in his hand.
After the gun was wiped, the bullets that were also carefully wiped were loaded one by one.
This pistol is of great significance to Kawaami Mi. Not only does it allow him to own a pistol with better performance than the Japanese Army's Nambu Type 14 pistol, it also replaces the Nambu pistol he wore when he was the commander of the regiment.
Being stingy by nature, he saved more than 100 yen on the purchase of a pistol. For Kawaami Mi, this pistol also witnessed his so-called illustrious military exploits on the battlefield in China.
According to the regulations of the Japanese army, an officer's personal equipment and military uniforms such as pistols, sabers, binoculars, and compasses are military uniforms. In other words, these items are not uniformly distributed by the country, and the officers need to pay for them themselves.
Money is required to purchase equipment. Only pistols and sabers for non-commissioned officers and soldiers are official supplies, and are distributed free of charge by the army.
When officers graduate from the non-commissioned officer school, they are each given 350 yen to purchase military equipment. They can purchase sabers, binoculars, compasses, pistols and various equipment required by officers such as map bags required by the Army, as well as
Money for all kinds of military uniforms can be purchased here.
Just a complete set of Japanese military-standard map bags required by officers costs 40 yen. A Nambu Type 14 pistol costs 75 yen. In addition to other personal items such as sabers, binoculars, and military uniforms that are also expensive,
For equipment, 350 yen is actually just barely enough.
In addition to the uniform requirements for military uniforms and personal equipment, the Japanese army did not force uniform standards for the pistols and sabers used by officers. Anyway, the money is given to you so much. What kind of pistol you are willing to buy is your personal wish. The military
It is non-intervention. The Southern Type 14 pistol is distributed to soldiers and sergeants as official supplies, and officers are not required to purchase them compulsorily.
If you have money, you can go to a high-end clothing store and order hand-sewn military uniforms. If you have a so-called handmade sword passed down from your ancestors, you don’t need to buy a military sword. As for a pistol, you can choose the Japanese military standard Southern Fourteenth or Meiji 20th.
For six-year-old pistols, you can also choose a series of imported high-end products such as Browning, Colt, Walther, and Beretta pistols.
Of course, new officers with good family conditions and senior officers with relatively generous salaries generally buy imported pistols as their sidearms to show their difference. However, imported pistols are expensive, and a Browning M-9
The price of retail pistols is as high as 110 yen, and ordinary middle- and lower-level officers would not even dare to buy them.
Senior Japanese military officers generally do not wear Japanese standard pistols such as the Nambu Type 14 pistol. This type of pistol is only worn by middle- and lower-level officers and non-commissioned officers of the Japanese army. Those middle- and lower-level officers with low salaries cannot afford expensive imported pistols.
, so I can only buy the cheap Nanbu Type 14 pistol, which is only 75 yen, as a sidearm.
For senior officers, wearing this combat pistol, which is also worn by non-commissioned officers and machine gunners, is very disrespectful to the dignity of a general or colonel. Therefore, senior Japanese military officers generally wear European and American brand-name products.
.In particular, the Belgian Browning pistols and the American Colt pistols from the same family are quite popular among senior Japanese military officers.
Of course, this kind of pistol, which can easily cost hundreds of yen, is not much of a burden for senior officers with an annual income of five to six thousand yen. For middle- and lower-level officers whose income is not high, especially those who do not have extra money
For ordinary officers who are available, they generally choose the Southern Type 14 pistol.
However, those children from wealthy families with strong family backgrounds usually spend a lot of money to buy an expensive imported pistol as a self-defense weapon. However, a considerable number of Japanese soldiers who have been promoted since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War
Compared with their pre-war predecessors, senior military officers have an additional source of resources, which is to seize foreign pistols imported by the Chinese Army on the battlefield.
Years of warlord fighting and lax control of firearms have resulted in an unusually large number of pistols in the hands of the Chinese. Moreover, as long as military pistols from various countries are available, they can basically be found in China. Browning pistols have excellent
Due to its excellent performance, it is highly favored by some wealthy people and mid- to high-level military officers in the country.
Not to mention mid-level and high-level officers, even the so-called gangsters, social celebrities, and even socialites such as high-end dancers also own one as a self-defense weapon. If you can own a Browning pistol, no matter what brand it is, it is a
Quite a face-saving thing.
The three most popular pistols are from the Browning series. Among them, the Colt M 1903 pistol, known as the Continental pistol, is actually a Browning pistol.
An American brand of series of pistols. The Japanese army also captured quite a few of these pistols on the battlefield.
In view of the fact that the Japanese Type 14 Nambu pistol has nothing but high accuracy, not only senior officers but also low-level officers also keep the captured squadron pistols for their own use. The one in Kawaami Mi's hands sells for as much as
The 180 yen Browning M1903 pistol was seized from a captured ** lieutenant colonel when he participated in the Battle of Wuhan when he was the captain of the 6th Regiment.
The unlucky man was taken prisoner, and this sidearm, which had never been fired, naturally became a trophy of the Japanese army. For a high-end product like a Browning pistol, if Lieutenant General Kawami Mi
If he wanted to buy it domestically, he would have to pay 180 yen. With this excellent and free trophy, he would naturally use it as a carry-on gun.
It's just that when he first seized the pistol, he never thought that when he shot someone with this pistol for the first time in his hand, the target might be his own head. In other words, it was the first time after he got this pistol that he shot someone in his hand.
In actual combat, it is intended to be used to commit suicide.
Looking at the pistol in my hand that had been wiped clean by me, it was almost spotless. It was much more beautiful than the Southern Type 14 pistol and had much better performance. I thought that in the near future, the 7.65 bullet fired by this gun would be in
Having a fatal hole punched in his head, Lieutenant General Kawami Mi felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.
Back then, the Kwantung Army swept across Manchuria with less than 20,000 troops. Japan, which only used less than one-third of its national strength, occupied more than half of China. But now, in less than a few years, the situation has been reversed.
The Kwantung Army, which was so powerful back then, is now suppressed by the despicable Chinese people and the even more despicable Chinese army.
At the Battle of Lanfeng that year, the Fourteenth Division was all powerful and majestic. Hundreds of thousands of Chongqing troops tried their best to defeat the Fourteenth Division. Now it has only been a few years since they were transferred to Manchuria, but their majesty has long since disappeared. Last year they suffered a disastrous defeat.
, the strength of the 14th Division in the war has decreased by 70%. This year, the entire army has been reduced to the point of complete preparation. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, when did the Kwantung Army and the 14th Division get to this point?
