"You want to compete with the Chinese people in terms of physical strength and perseverance. Don't you think our Yamato nation can't beat the sick man of East Asia? Drag them down, and then you can go around to Nanchang... Please keep this in mind, His Majesty the Emperor is standing behind us, and our Imperial Japanese Army is invincible..." Nakagawa Hiroshi repeatedly encouraged Yamada in the telegram and drew a delicious pie,
Nakagawa insisted, and Yamada had no choice but to comply. He conveyed Nakagawa's wishes, and for a time it did boost the morale of his officers and soldiers. However, after marching continuously for 20 hours, one of the little Japanese finally couldn't bear the energy and began to collapse. Some of the Japs fell asleep immediately, while others fell down and never woke up again. Yamada received the report from his subordinates and knew that if he continued like this, he wouldn't need to fight with the army. , while being obedient to Nakagawa, he issued an order to let the troops rest on the spot for two hours.
The so-called new bean tank is the name given by the Xuebing Army to the Type 98 modified armored vehicle of the Japanese army. Compared with the previous bean tank, the Japanese tank is smaller in terms of size, armor thickness and gun diameter. , the power has been strengthened, but because it is much smaller than the Platypus light tank of the Xuebing Army, it is still difficult to escape the title of "bean tank". In fact, the Japanese war tank No matter what kind of vehicle, no matter how it performs on other battlefields, it is a joke in front of the mandrills of the Xuebing Army. In the final analysis, the starting point of the Xuebing Army's tank technology is too high, and Koizumi Minichiro's influence on the Japanese Army is too high. Weak, so every time the experts of the Little Devils happily thought they had developed a tank that could compete with the Mandrill. However, when they put it on the battlefield, they discovered that the Mandrill was still standing there as steady as a rock, and it was still them. An insurmountable mountain. The Yamada Regiment and the Nakajima Regiment had the same mission, but the treatment was different. The latter had to use mule carts to travel, but most of the Japanese soldiers in the Yamada Regiment could only march on foot. This made After running continuously for more than a day and night, their legs seemed to be filled with lead. When they continued to march mechanically, they just felt that their legs were unbearably sore. Now that they stopped, many people immediately felt that their legs were heavy. How many times, every time I move, I feel sore and sore. This makes many Japanese who would normally fall asleep be tortured to the point of being unable to sleep. Many people rub their legs and ask around in horror: "My legs?" It won't be useless, right?
Yamada Abe and other officers are in good condition. Firstly, their physical output is low, and secondly, they can take a nap in the car. Therefore, although their whole bodies are sore and uncomfortable, they still have the physical strength and mind to take care of other things. Regiment Chief of Staff Aida Fune Major Motoyama was located in the middle of the army. He got off the car. He checked the status of the soldiers and came to Yamada worriedly: "Sir, this won't work. What if the Chinese catch up now? Should we organize some people to establish defensive positions?" "Several officers have gathered around Yamada. They are all here to ask about the next step of action. They were originally harassing, but now they are running away in confusion. This makes many officers feel very uncomfortable and even think it is detrimental to Yamato. Regarding the dignity of soldiers, many people put forward their own suggestions and thought about what to do next. Anyway, it was just the same idea, and it could never be like this again. Yamada observed the condition of the soldiers at close range, and his heart was also full of worries. He was also Realizing that there was something wrong with Nakagawa's strategy, but he could not express this opinion to his subordinates, he said: "We are tired, but the Chinese people are tired, aren't they? Do you think the quality of the Chinese soldiers is better than the imperial army?" Aida smiled bitterly: "But, Your Excellency, the situation detected by the scouts will always be true. The Chinese people have not been left behind by us."
"But they haven't been able to catch up with us. Let the soldiers rest for two hours first. You should immediately organize people to boil some hot water and add a little salt to the water..." Yamada has a lot of practical experience and knows the tired human body. What is needed most now is, will the Xuebing Army give them a chance to adjust? The answer is no. Soon, the Japanese sent a report back, saying that the Chinese pursuers had appeared ten kilometers away.
"Aren't the Chinese people tired?" A captain couldn't help asking such a question,
Everyone looked at Yamada. As early as around one o'clock this morning, Yamada wanted the troops to stop and rest for a while. However, whenever he had this idea, the Xuebing Army would appear less than ten kilometers away from them. He was worried that once the troops fell into sleep, it would be difficult to maintain their original state, so he could only order to continue moving forward. "One part of the China Army that is chasing us is a mechanized force." Yamada said with a sullen face and a very dry tone.
The mechanized force is a concept that Koizumi Miichiro instilled in the army officers. Later it became the biggest dream of the army officers. However, a C-type division with a three-three system like the 48th Division, even if they boast that they have no combat effectiveness. Weak, but can only dream about it and not qualified to obtain equipment,
"Let's go northeast next. There are swamps in that area. Our Type 98 Kai can go, but the Chinese heavy tanks will definitely not be able to pass." Aida said,
"The Chinese will arrive in an hour at the latest. Once we are stuck by them, we will have no chance to escape. It seems that we must set off immediately." Yamada said,
Officers, look at me and I look at you. No one answered. Can the troops open a way in this situation? That will directly cause the troops to completely lose their combat effectiveness. Many people thought this in their hearts, but they did not dare to say it out. ,
Suddenly, a communications staff officer issued a series of urgent calls: "Report, Chinese fighter planes, Chinese fighter planes appeared in the southwest."
"Ah." The communications staff officer exclaimed, quickly picked up the microphone, and shouted: "Please tell me in more detail how many fighters there are."
"About ten, no, twenty, they are a new type of fighter aircraft."
Yamada's face turned completely dark, and he shouted at the officer beside him: "Quick, let his troops disperse immediately, eight grids."
The new fighter planes mentioned by the Japanese scouts were the Haidongqings of the Langya Helicopter Group. There were twenty-four Haidongqings in total. They flew directly over after being refueled in Nanchang, and finally caught up with the Yamada Wing at dawn.
Hai Dongqing's speed exceeded 300 kilometers per hour. When they appeared at the habitat of the Yamada Regiment, many Japanese soldiers were still rubbing their groggy eyes. It was not that the Japanese soldiers were of poor quality, but that they were too tired. Hai Dongqing's appearance was like a sobering agent. Many Japanese looked up at the sound of the engine. Many of them exclaimed, and their skills immediately became much more agile.
