Manstein's change of troops on the battlefield happened last night, so Da Ye Wang thought that they were still facing the Germans. Manstein did not want the German troops to be consumed by the Japanese Peace Army, because he felt that the Japanese army would never become the enemy this time. The protagonist of the decisive battle is at best a pawn crossing the river. He is destined to be abandoned by the Soviet army. Therefore, if the German army exposes its strength prematurely in a battle with him, it will not only be a waste of money but also likely to cause Although Germany and Japan had been allies for many years, Manstein obviously did not understand the Japanese. What he would never have imagined was that the Japanese, whom he regarded as pawns, would now But they are extremely eager to fight with them. As the Japanese Imperial Army was defeated and then forced to join the Japanese Peace Army to work for the allies, many Japanese lost their way for a time and had big problems with their self-confidence. In the United Nations In the military, although the Chinese officers from Ouyang Yun to the military advisory group did not deliberately provide guidance, because the Japanese were the culprits in initiating the Sino-Japanese War, even those who did not even have the concept of a country were rubbish. The messed-up Vietnamese and Cambodians also have a sense of superiority when they look at the Japanese. They think that compared with China's enemies, as China's allies, their status is naturally higher.
The Japanese are a very strange nation, such as those in the Japanese Peace Army. It is said that they were reduced to this situation because they were defeated by the Chinese. The one they have the most reason to hate is the Chinese, but the actual situation is that From officers such as Da Yewang to the most ordinary privates, only a very small number have this idea. No matter what they think in their hearts, on the surface, they all show great respect for the Chinese officers on the military advisory group. The behavior of these people will even make some young people on the advisory board feel uncomfortable and have goosebumps all over the floor.
In this time and space, although the Japanese army did not actually control the Indochina Peninsula and manipulate Thailand through the French like that time and space, in their eyes, small countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia are not worth mentioning at all, so to them, they can They are willing to be controlled and spurred by the Chinese, but they are never willing to be looked down upon by the Vietnamese and Cambodians. Like Ono and other mid-level and senior officers in the Japanese Peace Army, they have always wanted to change the status of their own troops through some things. , and now, because of the German attack on Sabi, because they actually repelled the German attack (the Japanese did not know the concept of second artillery, so of course they did not understand that the reason why they were able to repulse the German army was actually " The Japanese felt that this matter had great potential, so they eagerly hoped to fight the Germans again so that they could fully demonstrate their power to the Chinese military.
In the past few days, Oh Yewang, like other mid-level and senior officers of the Japanese Peace Army, was thinking about how to defeat the German army every day. Now, he suddenly discovered that the enemy opposite had become Italians. The disappointment and anger in his heart could be seen. As expected, he stuffed the remaining rice balls into his mouth and swallowed it hard, then put down the binoculars and shouted in an insulted tone: "Italians, Bagh Ya Road."
There were several officers standing next to Da Ye Wang. They all set up their binoculars after hearing what he said. After a while, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked blushing and thick-necked. They empathized and shouted: "Damn, it's actually... The Italians and Germans escaped."
"This is a naked contempt for the Imperial Army, no, for our Peace Army. We should launch an attack immediately and slap the Germans in the face with the cruel facts."
The Japanese also knew that the Germans did not regard them as opponents of the same level. Before the war officially started, they had been worried about whether they could withstand the German attack. Even after discovering that the Germans were not as scary as they imagined, they did not seem to be invincible. After that, although their self-confidence was extremely inflated, they actually still had a sense of caution in their hearts. For example, when the German army began to retreat, Ohno made a speculation when reporting to Suki Tairo, thinking that what they encountered might be It is not the main force of Army Group A,
However, it is one thing to have a clear understanding of the strength of the enemy and ourselves. Now that they have been insulted, the Japanese who are eager to prove themselves can no longer remain calm. "Attack, attack." Ohnowang pulled out his command sword and roared fiercely. Dao, after driving his men to attack, he called Sumiki Dairo and informed the other party that the people blocking the front of the 14th Brigade had been replaced by Italians, and believed that this was the best opportunity for the Peace Army to show its strength.
A very interesting phenomenon is that although the three main countries of the Axis Powers, Germany, Japan and Italy, are called allies, in fact the Germans do not look down on the Japanese at all. At the same time, the Japanese and Italians look down on each other. They all think that they are in the Axis Powers. , we are the second strongest force after Germany,
The commander of the Italian 6th Infantry Division was named Livanni. He was a vain guy who liked to talk and talk but actually didn't have much ability. Manstein asked him to take over the German army to block the Japanese attack. Livani did not feel dangerous, but thought that this was the case. It was an opportunity to stand out. He said to his subordinates at that time: "The Germans always look down on us and feel that we fail more than we succeed. Today we will use a hearty victory to tell the Germans that the Germans can't do it." It's something we Italians can do very well."
The emergence of the two butterflies Ouyang Yun and Koizumi Toshiichiro has indeed changed many things, but all of this has nothing to do with Italy. Therefore, no matter in that time and space in the past or now, Italy only plays a soy sauce role, although it has followed the German army. It is a tragedy for Italy that it has fought in various battlefields but has had little effect, but on the other hand, it may not be a blessing for Italy, because combat power and destructive power are directly proportional. If combat power is insufficient, destructive power will also be insufficient. The responsibilities held after the war were relatively small.
However, it was obvious that Livani did not realize this, so when the 14th Brigade launched an attack on them, all he could think about was "a hearty victory", not what Manstein said Instead of defending, he ordered a counterattack,
Judging from the number of soldiers and equipment on both sides, Livani does have reasons to launch a counterattack. The 14th Brigade has only more than 1,700 people left in the battle, and its only regiment-level support weapons are a few The 75mm caliber field artillery has also been destroyed in the war, but the Italian 6th Infantry Division is fully equipped.
