Chapter 694 Demon! (Thanks to ‘ImDuke’ for 500 reward)
How long is the defense line that the 5th Division and the 9th Brigade need to defend in Shanxi now?

Starting from Hunyuan, it goes to Dajianshan, Zhongzhuangpu, Xihekou, Tuanchengkou, Dongpaochi and Pingxingguan.

The place sticking out in front is Dayinger, the former command post of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army during the Anti-Japanese War.

A little further forward from the main camp is the forward outpost they set up in the buffer zone, Fanshi. To the north of Fanshi is Tiejialing and Ruyuekou; to the north of the main camp is Hunyuan, to the east is Tuanchengkou, and further east is Lingqiu.

How many people does the Fifth Division need to deploy on such a long line of defense?

This has to start with the past and present of the Fifth Division.

The origin of the Fifth Division was one of the seven regular divisions first formed by the Japanese. It was built in Hiroshima in 1888, so it is also called the Hiroshima Division.

The Fifth Division had the Ninth and Twenty-first Brigades under its command, and each brigade had two infantry regiments under its command. The commander of the Ninth Brigade, Kunisaki Noboru, and the commander of the Twenty-first Brigade, Miura Toshiji, were both famous generals of the Japanese invaders. Together with their direct logistics, engineering, transportation and other personnel, the Fifth Division, under the leadership of famous generals, participated in almost all of the Japanese wars, and traveled to Korea, the Soviet Union, China, Southeast Asia and other places. It had a brilliant record, and when fully staffed, the strength of this division alone exceeded 30,000.

only……

Not right now.

After Xu Chaoyang’s regiment wiped out the 21st Brigade in a battle at Chengkou, they were completely defeated.

The problem of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak in the Japanese army is more serious than in any other country in the world. Before the 5th Division experienced the disastrous defeat at Tuanchengkou, they were the “Steel Army”, the “flower of the brother country”, the “wisdom of Ishihara and the courage of Itagaki”. At that time, the cabinet really wanted to transfer Itagaki back to the Army Headquarters to be a minister.

This actually happened in history.

But after Tuanchengkou, all plans regarding the Fifth Division were shelved. They were thrown into Shanxi as if they had been completely forgotten, and such a powerful fighting force was left to run wild there.

They all became a disgrace to the Japanese army.

The camp…

When the guard saw the lights of the truck in the distance and the soldiers marching in front of the lights, he shouted…

“Tanimoto is back, open the door!”

Tanimoto is a squadron leader of the 9th Brigade Infantry Regiment, and has several hundred men under his command.

This time we left the camp on a mission assigned by our superiors to collect grain.

Isn’t it autumn harvest time?

The entire Fifth Division was collecting grain from all over the place. It was called collecting, but in fact it was robbing.

As for the Tanimoto Squadron, after being assigned a grain-collecting truck by their superiors, they left at dawn and have just returned.

But this army has changed.

Everyone was extremely excited, with an unconscious smile on their face, as if they had become abnormal.

“Where’s the captain?”

When the vehicle entered the camp, Tanimoto was the first to jump out of the vehicle. He was in an uncontrollable state, and there was no trace of the seriousness of the Japanese at all. Instead, he looked like a drunk who had drunk too much in Kabukicho late at night, swaying as if he had completely let himself go.

“Captain, you should all go out and take a look at the wheat fields and the hard-working Chinese people…”

“They are so stupid, hahahaha!”

“I led the troops to the fields to watch them harvest in autumn. These people were so scared that they were reluctant to leave. It was not until noon that they were sure that we would not harm them. Some people actually dared to come up and talk to me. They called me – Taijun.”

Tanimoto described it with exaggerated expressions and gesticulating movements, and even the word “Taijun” was imitated in poor Chinese.

“They said, ‘Taijun, it’s harvest time. You’ve worked hard. Why don’t you come back to the farm and have a meal together?’ We went, hahahaha, we went!” “We also asked them to load all the grain onto trucks, saying they were transporting grain for them. The people really believed it…”

This time, all the guards in the camp laughed.

“We went to a village, and they killed the few pigs in the village to entertain us. They served the best pork to the imperial soldiers, while their own people gathered together to eat noodles.”

Tanimoto turned around and yelled, “I really can’t understand them. They are clearly enemies, but they are willing to humble themselves and treat us to a meal. The people in that village who have never seen the world come out to watch…”

The guard responded: “Captain Tanimoto, this is how the people of this country are. As long as you are strong enough, they will be as obedient as dogs.”

Tanimoto said with a strange smile: “You can also put your hand on his wife’s butt in front of his man, watching his man’s furious expression appear on his face, but then you push it back little by little…hahahahahaha.”

“Captain Tanimoto, didn’t you show them your skills in conquering women?”

“I killed them all!”

Under the light of the car lights, Tanimoto’s face suddenly darkened.

“They annoy me so much, just like a dog that only knows how to wag its tail, swaying in front of me…”

“I don’t know where my anger comes from. It seems that every compliment makes me see their lowliness. These people don’t even know that we didn’t do anything when they were collecting grain. We just didn’t want to do the extremely tiring work ourselves.”

The old man in Zhuangzi also said: “It’s not that these Japanese can’t get along with each other…”

“This bunch of lowly people actually want to ‘get along’ with us, baka!”

bass!
Tanimoto pulled out the command knife, and there was still blood on the knife that had not been wiped off!
“Tanimoto, did you use ‘Love Work’ during non-wartime?”

A man came out, dressed in Japanese military officer’s uniform, and yelled at Tanimoto.

“Captain, I can’t control myself!”

“When those unarmed untouchables appeared in front of me, it was like I was entering my own hunting ground. I could let them live or die, it all depended on my mood…”

“I just want to excite myself a little more, so I…”

“Eat a little love work.”

He seemed to want to admit his mistakes and was still able to communicate with others, but when he lowered his head, his whole body was shaking under his silent smile: “But after that guy Yamaguchi finished eating, he was too perverted. He actually gave a little girl to…”

“Yamaguchi? Yamaguchi?”

On the pile of grain on top of the truck, a staggering figure who was struggling to get up raised his head: “Hey!” After he shouted, he couldn’t even stand up. In a roll, he fell directly from the high roof – bang.

He slammed to the ground.

Ouch!
And vomited.

“Hahahahaha…” Tanimoto laughed and pointed at Yamaguchi: “This bastard came out of the house and threw a grenade inside. At that time… BOOM!”

“The flames broke through the constraints of the house and squeezed out through the windows. It was so beautiful!”

The officer shouted, “Stop talking!”

“Come here, control all of them and lock them all up in the barracks!”

“all!”
