Chapter 948 Osaka Division (Thanks to Black Celery for the Reward!)

With Suzuki Hidetoshi, the major leading the way, Ye Tian was very confident.

Yes, in this village, Suzuki Hidetoshi was the highest officer.

All the other devils were his direct subordinates.

To put it bluntly, he was playing the role of a fox pretending to be a tiger.

Looking at Suzuki Hidetoshi's flattering smile, Ye Tian had an idea and thought of a good idea.

If you think of it, you must do it!

For this reason, Ye Tian once again played the role of pretending.

"Suzuki Hidetoshi, so, you report to me in detail the deployment of troops in this village."

"As for me, after I go back, I will discuss with the staff and try to give you a more reasonable deployment plan."

"But..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Tian smiled strangely.

Hearing the sound of the strings, you can know the elegant meaning!

Hearing this, Suzuki Hidetoshi smiled flatteringly again.

Then, it looked around.

Finding that there were no patrol posts passing by, Suzuki Hidetoshi lowered his voice.

"Your Excellency, this is an unregistered deposit slip."

"According to the Chinese, it is worth 1 million dollars."

"Ahem... these are all the spoils captured when I led my troops to attack."

"It just so happens that there is a captain from Osaka in my brigade, so I asked him to do something..."

After a frank explanation, Suzuki Hidetoshi stuffed the deposit slip into Ye Tian's hand despite Ye Tian's repeated refusal.

There was no other way, after pretending to refuse a few times, Ye Tian stuffed it into his arms.

Seeing this, Suzuki Hidetoshi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Since you accepted my gift, you will definitely say good things to me when you go back to report.

Of course, even if you don't say good things, at least you will definitely not persecute me!

Hehehe!

Finally, he was relieved, and Suzuki Hidetoshi's smile was very obscene.

What Suzuki Hidetoshi didn't know was that at this moment, in Ye Tian's heart, he thought of another thing.

The Osaka Fourth Division, also known as the Osaka Division, is also called the Merchant Division.

It was established in 1888, and its soldiers were mainly composed of vegetable vendors in Osaka. It is one of the oldest divisions in the island country.

Before the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, the island country had a total of 17 standing divisions.

As the Army Class A Division, the Osaka Division was one of them.

In the impression of many people, the devils in World War II were all desperate.

Even because they were severely brainwashed, they were proud of dying on the battlefield.

However, there was an extremely alternative unit in the Japanese army at that time, which was the Osaka Fourth Division, known as the "First Loser Division".

As the name suggests, the combat effectiveness of this unit is not ordinary.

What makes Ye Tian laugh and cry is that this famous "weak brigade" actually retained its number after the war!

Even before Ye Tian traveled through time, the Fourth Division was still organized in the Island Country's Ground Self-Defense Force.

This unit has four regiments under its jurisdiction. It is a Class A division equipped with first-class weapons and equipment, and can be called the main elite of the Japanese army.

However, not long after its establishment, its reputation as a "coward" spread throughout the island nation.

In particular, the core unit of the Fourth Division, the Eighth Regiment, was nicknamed "the Eighth Regiment that is not afraid of defeat" because of its poor performance in the Russo-Japanese War.

After that, until the outbreak of the full-scale Anti-Japanese War, the Fourth Division never went to the front line again.

After the outbreak of the full-scale Anti-Japanese War in 1937, due to the shortage of troops, the island country headquarters transferred the Fourth Division to the three eastern provinces of China and assigned it to the Kwantung Army sequence.

In order to improve the combat effectiveness of this unit, the island country headquarters successively transferred several famous generals, hoping that they could train them well.

Among them was a famous general who rose in the battle with the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia, that is, Yamashita Tomoyuki, nicknamed "The Tiger of Malaya".

However, this operation did not achieve any effect, and the style of the Fourth Division was still very free and undisciplined.

After two years of "intensive training", in 1939, the Fourth Division finally had the opportunity to show its face.

At that time, considering that China was vulnerable, the island country was bold enough to try to rub the tiger's whiskers of the Maozi country.

Because the war situation was unfavorable, the Kwantung Army ordered the Osaka and Sendai divisions to be urgently mobilized to reinforce the front line immediately.

The Sendai Division, that is, the Second Division, performed very well.

After receiving the order, after four days of forced march, it rushed to the front line and entered the battle on the same day.

Unfortunately, under the carpet bombing of the Maozi country, the Second Division was almost wiped out.

On the other hand, the Fourth Division did not suffer much loss.

The reason is very simple. Although it received the order to set off, the Fourth Division was slow to move.

Of course, in order to avoid punishment from the superiors, the devils in the Fourth Division played routines.

As soon as the mobilization order was issued, the devils in the Fourth Division pretended to be sick.

The purpose of pretending to be sick was very simple, that is, they did not want to go to the front line and asked to stay.

For this reason, the division commander and the brigade commander were furious and personally sat in the infirmary.

After identification, the Fourth Division finally set out on its journey.

The fake illness was torn apart, and the devils of the Fourth Division played a new trick, that is, passive sabotage.

The Second Division arrived at the front line after 4 days.

On the other hand, the Fourth Division walked for 8 days!

That's not all, a large number of devils even played the routine of falling behind.

Coincidentally, the advance team of the Fourth Division had just arrived at the front line when the two countries reached an armistice agreement.

When the news came, the devils of the Fourth Division began to perform.

Those who fell behind quickly caught up as if they had taken a powerful pill.

Many of the remaining devils also struggled to rush to the front line "with illness".

That's not all. They were still whining and thinking about fighting with the Russians.

When the news reached the country, the entire island country was in an uproar.

Despite all the embarrassment, the 4th Division was quite lucky.

Because the war in central China was tight and troops were urgently needed for reinforcement, the island country headquarters had to give up pursuing the 4th Division and urgently sent it south to reinforce, hoping that it would make meritorious contributions.

Unfortunately, they still went their own way.

Therefore, among other devil troops, there is a famous saying:

"With the participation of the 4th Division, the battle that could have been won will also be lost..."

In fact, many Chinese troops have experienced the reputation of the 4th Division.

During the Battle of Xuzhou, Li Zongren encountered a strange Japanese army.

At that time, facing the encirclement of the Japanese army on all sides, there was no way. In order to preserve the manpower, General Li Zongren had to command 400,000 troops to play a strategic retreat.

Under the planning of General Bai Chongxi, who was known as the Little Zhuge, they were very lucky and cleverly jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese.

After breaking through, the army was already exhausted and lost a lot of heavy equipment.

Just when they were exhausted, they suddenly found a well-equipped Japanese army.

Feeling that the combat effectiveness of the troops was very low, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had to lead their troops to the nearby mountains.

What puzzled them was that after a long time, the Japanese did not catch up.

Fearing that this Japanese army would play a routine against them, the two generals quickly sent people to inquire.

As a result, the Japanese army had no intention of pursuing.

On the contrary, they were still preparing lunch on both sides of the road.

This strange Japanese army was the Southward Detachment of the Fourth Division.

Afterwards, facing the severe criticism from his superiors, the commander of the Southward Detachment was very confident.

We have not received combat orders, so we must strictly abide by combat discipline!

Thinking of this characteristic of the Fourth Division, Ye Tian immediately made up his mind.
