The words of the military medical minister. [.Com text] made Namada Juichi's complexion turn extremely livid. In view of the lessons learned from China, the empire hates drugs in particular. Not to mention the strictly disciplined soldiers, even ordinary citizens will be punished whenever they find a drug addict.
He faces severe punishment. He continues to supply drugs to drug-addicted officers and soldiers. Once word spreads, he will not even be qualified to appear in a military court.
Listening to the heart-rending shouts of the drug-addicted officers and soldiers, Shigeichi Namada's face was livid. He neither expressed his position nor spoke. It took a long time before he issued an order to the deputy chief of staff of the Fifth Army beside him: "Order
The 11th Division immediately dispatched six brigades to take over the attack of the 8th Division. The entire army of the 8th Division rested for three days."
After saying that, he turned to the military medical director and said: "Three days, I can only give you three days. If these soldiers cannot restore their combat capabilities, then you have to figure it out yourself. You are the military medical director of the Fifth Army, aren't you?
Those bullshit caring people from charities. They are soldiers, not ordinary citizens."
"As a soldier, you must put the interests of the empire first and have the spirit of dedicating yourself to His Majesty the Emperor. I don't need to tell you this. You have to figure out how to do it yourself." Although he did not say it directly, Namada Juichi
This sentence actually expressed acquiescence to the military medical director's quick solution.
Even a fool can tell that three days can't help these officers and soldiers get rid of their drug addiction. Namada Juichi's so-called restoration of combat effectiveness is a disguised agreement to allow him to develop something similar for those officers and soldiers suffering from drug addiction.
The Eighth Division can hold on to the situation, at least for a short period of time.
After the arrogant and unreasonable Hatada Shigeichi finished explaining to the military medical director, he turned to Tsukada who looked worried and said: "Tsukada-kun, you immediately order the remaining troops in Muling to join Muling.
The Military Police Special High School Division must get to the bottom of this matter of blatantly inducing Imperial soldiers to take drugs. I definitely don’t want to see this kind of thing happen again.”
Tsukada Gong shook his head and said: "I found something wrong, and I have already informed the remaining divisions. But they couldn't find out. If you want to find out about this matter, you can only ask the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters for assistance. Your Excellency,
The most important thing right now is not only to find out where these drugs came from. The most important thing is, what should the Eighth Division do now?"
"How can the soldiers fight like this? The current Eighth Division can't even raise the security force. What should the Tenth Division do? The Tenth Division is already in danger. If we wait for the Eleventh Division,
The main force is coming, I'm afraid Tokawa-kun's bones will be cold."
Hearing this, Namada Juichi waved his hands a little irritably and said: "Isn't there a regiment in the 10th Division that is now under your command? Together with the troops attached to the 11th Division, a reinforced detachment will be formed in the 11th Division.
Before the main force arrives, the 8th Division that takes over from you will continue to attack."
"Leave them the artillery and tanks on hand. As for your 8th Division, rest on the spot first. I will report this matter to General Umezu Yoshijiro and ask him to handle it with kindness. Tsukada
Jun, it has been more than a year and a half since you were transferred to the position of commander of the Eighth Division at the beginning of last year. This matter happened right under your nose, and you didn’t know anything about it. You have simply neglected your duty."
"The officers and soldiers of an entire division are addicted to drugs, and you, as the division commander, have only discovered it now. As the division commander, you must take responsibility for this. You should discuss this matter with General Umezu and Tokyo
Go to the base camp and explain. As for now, you have to take care of your addicts."
"Lieutenant General Tsukada, although I don't want to say it, there is one thing I still have to say. Your Eighth Division almost collapsed without a fight this time, which brought great consequences to the Kwantung Army's campaign.
Harm. I will write these things in the written materials reported to the base camp and the Kwantung Army Headquarters."
Having said this, Namada Juichi hesitated for a moment, and then said to Lieutenant General Tsukada, who was expressionless after hearing his words: "Tsukada-kun, the 11th Division will only send out troops this time. The battle on the front line is still up to you.
If you come to take command, whether you can recover some losses depends on your future performance. Although I don't like you very much, as a colleague, I am still willing to give you a chance."
After saying these words, Namada Shigeichi ignored the cold-faced Lieutenant General Tsukada, and even refused to accept the invitation of the Chief of Staff of the Eighth Division to rest here for the night. He took his guards and driver into the car and drove away.
He looked at the back of Lieutenant General Juichi Namada's luxury version of the Chevrolet car that he had been carrying since it was captured on the battlefield in Wuhan. He received a scolding, but he endured it until Juichi Namada left before showing off.
Lieutenant General Tsukada became furious and said to the chief of staff of the division beside him: "Tell the remaining troops and captain Muleng Gendarmerie that I don't care how they investigate, but I will see the results within three days. For that audacious man
, who dares to adopt such despicable means to sell drugs to the Imperial Japanese Army, I will personally kill him with a thousand knives."
Whether it was because of the inexplicable drug addiction incident that occurred at this juncture of the 8th Division, the main force in the Eastern Front, which caused the entire division to lose its combat effectiveness, and was caught off guard. It was also because of drug addiction that the entire division was caught off guard.
, all lost their combat capabilities, and Tsukada Gong, who was so angry that he remained calm on the surface, but was already furious in his heart, of course did not know about this matter. Their opponents were using the Kwantung Army to treat Northeast China as a dumping ground for drugs.
a means of revenge.
They would not even know that these special cigarettes adulterated with heroin were secretly smuggled out of the opponent's base through a smuggling network set up by their compatriots and colleagues. Moreover, they were specially and intentionally targeting people stationed in the East Manchuria area.
The Eighth and Eleventh Divisions conducted sales. As for the sales profits, their compatriots accounted for 30% of them.
However, compared to the 8th Division in the hardest-hit area, the 11th Division has relatively fewer people smoking cigarettes mixed with special ingredients. Moreover, at the beginning of this spring, a transport vehicle had a car accident.
The 11th Division, which had been out of supply for some time, discovered the problem very early and promptly controlled and solved the drug addiction problem among officers and soldiers.
However, this matter of egotism killing people happens everywhere. There are drug addicts in our army who are absolutely not allowed to appear in the Imperial Army, and there are quite a lot of them. This is a problem for Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi, the commander of the 11th Division.
, is definitely a secret that cannot be publicized.
Kita Seiichi, who had suppressed everything, did not report it to the Kwantung Army headquarters, let alone his friendly forces. He just collected all the fort smoke from the troops and destroyed them all in the shortest possible time.
Fortunately, the 11th Division is also responsible for garrisoning the Tiger Head Fortress, many of which are stationed in top-secret areas that even Japanese civilians are not allowed to enter. Therefore, the number of people in the 11th Division who are addicted to drugs is much less than that in the 8th Division.
It won't be like the Eighth Division, only to find out after going to the battlefield again.
The development of things is often of a chain nature. Lieutenant General Kita Seiichi, who was afraid that this incident would have an impact on his future, suppressed the matter in private. However, it caused another victim at the moment, Lieutenant General Tsukada Attack. More
It brought great trouble to Namada Juichi’s deployment.
The most critical thing is that a division in a key position was lost and unable to participate in the battle at a critical moment. The losses caused by the adjustment of the Japanese army's strength were almost immeasurable. Especially now that the Japanese army has never been able to get rid of the situation of being passively beaten.
An entire division lost its combat effectiveness in such a confusing manner, and the impact was huge.
The Eighth Division was in the current situation and naturally could not continue to fight. The remaining three detachments, composed of a regiment of the Tenth Division, plus the six squadrons temporarily reinforced by the Eleventh Division, made the previous
Tao Jingfei, who was struggling to hold on, breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don’t know why the Japanese offensive suddenly weakened, especially the greatly reduced troop input. Finally, Tao Jingfei, who had been struggling these days, could barely breathe.
At least the pressure on the opponent has been reduced a lot. After all, the pressure caused by the continuous charge at the squadron level and the continuous charge at the brigade level are two different things. What's more, in the previous battle, I suffered heavy casualties, but the third detachment of the dike has been the main attacker.
The casualties are definitely not light either.
After realizing that the Japanese offensive had weakened a lot, Tao Jingfei, who had been under unimaginable pressure in the past few days, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the opponent's artillery fire was still fierce, the sky was hovering above him all day long from sunrise to sunset, facing him.
There is not one less aircraft that has been bombing wildly. But after all, the decrease in the opponent's strength means that its attack momentum will inevitably weaken.
Just when Chuichi Namada rushed to the Eighth Division, he finally got rid of the Japanese entanglement and retreated to the line from Lao Hei back to the Jinsha River while the Japanese offensive was easing.
Relying on their absolute superiority in firepower and troops, the Japanese army attacked in turns almost day and night. Their eyes were bloodshot after not sleeping for several days.
Ma Qichang, who was smoking one cigarette after another, glared at Ma Qichang and said: "Old Ma, don't say anything else to me. You have been here for a day, and you have seen the power of the two heavy cannons of the Japanese. The Japanese are here
Tell me the truth whether you can get rid of these heavy cannons."
"Just these few heavy artillery pieces, especially the two 240mm heavy howitzers. The shells fired by them are as big as a small water tank. They have caused too many casualties to my troops in the past two days. In these two days,
After the heavy artillery joined the battlefield, at least half of the casualties of my troops were caused by these two guys."
"With one shot, all my company's positions were flattened. The seventy-five mountain field guns I had on hand didn't even dare to fire. If I fired one shot here, I could fire back ten shots there. And all of them...
Large-caliber artillery shells. If we keep firing like this, one day I will become a polished commander."
"If it weren't for the fact that the devils were playing some tricks today and their attacks were less powerful, I might not have been able to sustain the battle during the day. ***, I guess these bastards are going to come up with some new weapons. The last time the devils attacked
The momentum is weakening, okay? After one night, it gave me such a big surprise. This kind of surprise is really a life-threatening thing."
"I don't care what imperial edict your brother received from No. 1, but you have to explain one thing clearly to me. You must get rid of these two cannons tonight, as well as those Japanese cannons. Otherwise, you must get rid of them.
How many more troops do I need to fill in tomorrow? If they are not your soldiers, you won’t feel bad for me, right? Don’t let my troops laugh at your artillerymen, they are all just for nothing.”
