Although he only stayed on the battlefield for a year, he was transferred back to China to serve as a military instructor. However, after hard work, the wealth he plundered was not as good as those of division commanders and regimental commanders, but compared to the lower levels.
As far as officers are concerned, they are still better than the superiors and more than the inferiors.
Like most other officers who have fought on the Chinese battlefield, relying on the wealth he grabbed by any means, he can live a good life in Japan where prices have not yet inflated. There are almost no problems. It can even be said that he can live a good life in this life.
It's definitely a worry-free thing.
But the ambition of this colonel does not mean that it has diminished with the increase of age and wealth. On the contrary, it has become more and more inflated with the promotion of his position. The dream of being a general, which was once given up, has gradually increased.
The promotion to captain of the 28th Regiment, Captain, has reignited the flames.
The money in hand is enough to spend for the rest of my life. Now that I have reached this position that I have never dared to think about before, I naturally put more thoughts on the position of power. As for Kazuki Qingnao,
His position of power is naturally that of major general, a level higher than that of colonel.
Although he was scornfully called the Wutian group by his colleagues who graduated from mainland universities because he did not have the qualifications of the Army University. The hope of being promoted to a general was extremely slim, but in his opinion, it was not absolutely impossible as long as he worked hard. He was killed in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province the year before last.
Aren't Lieutenant General Norihide Abe in the area and Major General Masatori Noda, who was previously killed in the Anti-Japanese War, both from the Muten Group?
Although there are only two or three Kotori in the Muten group who can achieve the rank of major general, and only one Lieutenant General Abe can achieve the rank of lieutenant general, after all, there is a role model, right? Ichiki Kiyonao believes that as long as that person passes the Sixth Army
With the help of the current Chief of Staff, whom he met and matched with his classmates at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and with the help of the current Commander-in-Chief of the China Expeditionary Force, who has received a large sum of money from him, and with the support of his military exploits, he will be able to achieve his dream.
Although he also knew that he did not have a degree from the Army University, there were only two ways to be promoted to a general. In addition to performing extraordinary feats for the empire and the emperor, that was to be pursued after he died in battle and received a second-class gold medal for meritorious service.
Jin. He didn't want to get a glimpse of Amaterasu right now, so naturally he didn't want to be posthumously awarded the rank of Major General.
But he also knows very well that his last step will be extremely difficult. And if he cannot be promoted to general next year, he will have to truly quit the army and go home to retire, without even a chance to return to active duty.
.Because I, who will be fifty years old by then, will be too old.
The classmate who is currently serving as the chief of staff of the Sixth Army and has become the superior of his superior, a classmate who is two years younger than himself. Because he got the diploma from the Army University, he is now a major general. And he is in the Army
Among my classmates from the same period at the Military Academy, those who are still in the Army, except for myself and two who are still in the Lieutenant Colonel stage, almost all of them have been promoted to major generals as long as they have obtained the Army's diploma.
Moreover, with a diploma from the Army University, you can serve in the Army Central Committee and get in touch with a series of big shots such as Prime Minister Lu. But even if you work hard, you can only wander around on the battlefield. At most, you can be transferred back to your country and go to that university or...
Served as a military instructor in high school.
Without a diploma from the Army University, the Army Ministry, the General Staff Headquarters and the Army Education Director are the necessary departments to climb up, so I wouldn’t even think about it. Although you can get more benefits on the battlefield, there is no such thing as a senior position in the Army.
His experience in the department undoubtedly closed the door for him to continue to advance.
Although my current achievements exceed those of most of my classmates, my progress is too slow compared to those who have already reached the rank of major general. If I don't get promoted this year and next, I will really miss out on becoming a general. As a general,
He is an army colonel. If he fails to become a general, it will be a lifelong regret.
Because he still doesn’t know the true direction of this war, he understands that the Imperial Army may need a sixty-year-old corps commander or division commander, but it will definitely not need a fifty-year-old brigade commander or coalition commander.
Captain. So he was dazzled by the rank of general. In order to achieve his own goal, he has reached the point of madness.
For him now, the entire 28th Regiment and even the entire 7th Division participating in this battle have become his ladder to the rank of major general. Although this man is forty-nine years old, he has
The 20-year-old crazy colonel has indeed gone crazy in order to achieve his own goals.
Colonel Seinao Ichiki, who was eager to take credit, wanted to enter the Bahrain Left Banner as quickly as possible before the other two regiments. After crossing the Siramulun River, he concentrated the entire regiment on a rapid march.
They lined up in neat and dense formation and marched towards the depth of Alukorqin Banner.
In order to gain time, he did not even adopt the most basic air defense measures. Although before departure, considering the current air superiority of the Anti-Japanese Alliance over the Kwantung Army, the Seventh Division equipped four troops transferred from the Kwantung Army with the Type 98
A field anti-aircraft artillery squadron of 20mm anti-aircraft guns, three anti-aircraft machine gun squadrons and two independent brigades equipped with Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft guns were split and assigned to each wing.
His 28th Regiment was divided into one squadron of 20mm anti-aircraft guns and one squadron of anti-aircraft machine guns. But time has become the most precious thing for him. Ichiki Qingnao thinks that setting up anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns is too much.
It was time-consuming. So this crazy guy not only failed to deploy the anti-aircraft weapons assigned to him, he also didn't even place an air defense observation post.
After crossing the Siramulun River, he had only one action. That was to move forward, move forward, and move forward as fast as possible. His purpose was also only one, and that was to enter the Bahrain Left Banner battlefield before the friendly forces. As for the
Other necessary actions have long been forgotten by him.
Although he sent a forward in front of the marching group, his opponent did not come from the ground at all. Let alone sending a reinforced squadron, even if he changed all his regiments into forward troops, it would be useless.
The opponent in the sky and recently came from ten kilometers away, and his forward troops would only be able to detect abnormalities.
As a result, his 28th Regiment was too densely packed during the march. It did not maintain the same fighting formation as the other two regiments during the march, so the queues were spread far apart. During the afternoon bombing and artillery shelling
Among them, the losses were the heaviest. For the bomber group participating in the ground attack, this formation was undoubtedly the prey that was delivered to the door.
As for the two regiments on the left wing and the center line, because the main ground resistance of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in Aruhorqin Banner was concentrated on these two regiments, these two regiments marched in battle order after crossing the Zhanggutai line.
, a certain distance was opened between each department. And with the two captains consciously controlling the rhythm, this distance was still relatively wide.
Although there were relatively heavy casualties during the shelling and bombing, due to the preparations made in advance, the number of casualties was far less than that of the 28th Regiment. Even the 26th Regiment in the middle shot down and wounded the Resistance Alliance.
There was one light bomber each. Although the anti-aircraft artillery troops had not had time to cheer, they were killed by the vengeful Anti-Alliance aviation force with napalm bombs. However, they still achieved some results.
The 28th Regiment, which was trying to grab time, or rather grab credit, was not so lucky. Since landing, there was not even a single gunshot along the route, not even the slightest sign of suspicion. Let this
Colonel Seinao Ichiki, who was already a bit crazy, had a feverish mind that suddenly reached fifty degrees.
In Ichiki Kiyoshi's view, it would be even more tempting for him if he could use the power of the 28th Regiment to break through the overall defense of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the Bahrain Left Banner from the flank and create a so-called miraculous feat. And in
Already crazy, he thought that this was not impossible. The eyes of the anti-alliance forces in Bahrain Left Banner must have been attracted by the 26th Regiment whose march route was close to Bahrain Left Banner.
If he detours to the front line of Baori-Hongshaori and surprises the Bahrain Left Banner with surprise troops, he may not be able to defeat the anti-alliance defenses in the Bahrain Zuo Banner in one fell swoop. He may even seize the East Ujimqin Banner lost by the Mongolian army and completely cut off the anti-alliance alliance.
It is possible that the supply lines that have been opened are not without hope.
If I can really do this, then I will definitely take the lead in this battle. Although the major general may not be able to be promoted, a gold medal with second-level merit cannot be escaped. With this second-level merit,
level of the Golden Eagle Medal, then you will be closer to your goal of being promoted to major general.
In order to be the first to enter the Left Banner of Bahrain under the condition of having the longest journey, the Ichisuki Twenty-eight Regiment, which was actually his personal shame, was adopted by Ichiki Kiyoshi during daily exercises.
Column. Under the air attack of the Anti-Alliance Air Force, the results can be imagined.
Under his compulsory order, the 28th Regiment, which formed four columns and marched in a hurry, has obviously become a very attractive piece of fat in the eyes of the Anti-Alliance Air Force. Compared with the Japanese troops in the other two directions
, these twenty-eight regiments, which are marching almost as if they are conducting marching training, can almost be said to be a group of living targets.
In fact, the number of artillery shells that hit the 28th Regiment was indeed as Ichiki Kiyoshi expected. But the bombs with greater lethality caused the 28th Regiment to be devastated from top to bottom.
He was full, and even had a bit of an appetite. But he was lucky, because most of the anti-personnel explosive bombs that fell on his head were not too many, and the number of napalm bombs was not too many. Otherwise, his twenty-eight
I'm afraid most of the team members will turn into roast chickens and go home covered in burnt black.
But compared with the bombs, although the number of artillery shells that fell on the 28th Regiment was not large, compared with their colleagues, the overall number was much smaller. But there was not a single cannonball that fell on the 28th Regiment.
Howitzer shells in the mountains. Thanks to their marching route being the farthest away from the battlefield, all that fell on their heads were 1,22,2 rockets.
This kind of weapon has a maximum range of more than 20 kilometers, far exceeding that of ordinary large-caliber artillery. It is actually deployed at a depth of 18 kilometers directly in front of the 28th Regiment. Although the firepower coverage area of a rocket is not that large, it is 40 kilometers.
The rockets are fired and all hit one place within forty seconds, which is enough for any army to drink a pot.
From four o'clock in the afternoon, during the five hours of indiscriminate bombardment and occasional shelling, the 28th Regiment suffered heavy losses. Finally, when night fell, I made a rough estimate.
The entire 28th Regiment actually lost nearly a brigade of troops in less than one afternoon.
This means that in hilly areas, the power of air strikes and artillery bombardments will be reduced. If it were in plain areas, according to Ichiki Kiyoshi's marching formation, his 28th Regiment would probably be bombed directly back to his hometown.
Even so, in an afternoon of bombing and shelling, the casualties of the 28th Regiment accounted for nearly half of the total casualties of the entire 7th Division.
