Battle of the Third Reich

Putting on his uniform, Morimoto hung the saber on the belt around the waist of his trousers, walked steadily to the door, and pushed open the bedroom sliding door. ●⌒,.

"Sir Nakasa." The service soldier Totoi has been squatting outside to wait.

"Have you notified me yet?" Morimoto stretched out his legs, and Toi skillfully put on his shiny military boots.

"Captain Kato, Hasegawa, and Okubo have been waiting in the office." Toi put on another military boots for Morimoto, and then handed the prepared leather arm belt to the captain.

"Toi, go get my backpack."

"Does Nakasa not ride a horse today?"

"Today you have to follow me closely, don't run around casually." Morimoto didn't answer Toi's question. With the help of the latter, he put on the armed belt, stepped on the map bag, and then in the confused eyes of the other side Pulled out the southern pistol in the holster, exited the magazine and checked the bullet.

"Hay, Master Nakasa." Toi owed his respect to Morimoto, then turned and exited the room.

"Master Zuo Zuo." Seeing the captain of the brigade walking into the office, the three squadron commanders waiting there stood upright and saluted the chief.

"Um." Morimoto looked back at the military salute to the heart of three hearts seriously, and then strode to the desk, bowed deeply to the portrait of Yuren hanging on the wall, and the three men quickly followed him behind him. Waist down.

"Are you ready?" Morimoto straightened up and walked to the desk and sat down.

For today's action, Morimoto prepared for more than two weeks. During this period, he was energetic and did his best to pull the three squadron captains to his side. There was also the squadron captain Captain Fukuda of the 12th squadron. Unfortunately, just three days ago, the squadron commander and his veteran of almost a small group received orders from the division to transfer to the 42nd squadron to supplement their first The second brigade. Since the Battle of Kunlunguan, the second team of the forty-two United Team has not recovered from the loss. Although it has been replenished, the proportion of recruits is too high. Some veterans and experienced officers need to be mobilized to fill their strength.

Morimoto was very dissatisfied with the orders of the division headquarters. He knew that this was a special action against him, and he wanted to use this method to transfer the backbone of the Morimoto team. Weaken the strength of the brigade, and use this to trap the hands and feet of the Morimoto brigade. Obviously, some people in the division have noticed that Morimoto Miyake is a potential troublemaker, and he is going to use this method to put a bridle on him. But obviously, this clumsy method was counterproductive at this time, because of fear that his team would continue to weaken in this way. Morimoto Miyake was forced to initiate his actions in advance.

At this time, the squadron leader of the 12th Squadron was Captain Juno Toshio, who was just transferred from the country. He was a serious and diligent young officer, but because the contact time was too short, Morimoto dared not pull him into his own small group.

"Everything is ready." Captain Sato Yukato of the ninth squadron replied loudly.

"Master Nakasa, is the decision today?" Captain Hasegawa Shin of the Tenth Squadron asked.

"Isn't it settled last night? Captain Hasegawa, do you have any other opinions now?" Captain Okubo of the eleventh squadron is a fiery personality officer, and he immediately expressed dissatisfaction with Hasegawa's attitude. .

"What do you mean by saying this kind of thing, I just want to confirm with the captain of the team."

"Well, in front of Master Nakasa, don't make unnecessary arguments." Captain Kato is the oldest of these squadron captains. He stopped two colleagues.

"You all sit down, too." Morimoto said to the squadron leaders.

"The captain of the coalition has approved my request, and we can only let it go now. I want to remind you that once the action begins, you must not look back. We represent the national authority of the Great Japanese Empire, and hope that the princes must keep in mind , I don’t want to see a coward appearing in the squadron.”

"Please rest assured, Master Nakasa, my subordinates and others are all brave warriors, and will never do anything to shame the flag."

"Is the ammunition distributed?"

"Each soldier has distributed ammunition in full, with additional copies. The teams have organized ammunition carrying groups, and the soldiers will take turns to carry them."

"Machine squadrons and infantry artillery squads have also been arranged, but can you tell them the truth?"

"Pingchuan is a bullshit, Ono courage is too small. Not trustworthy. When the battle begins, they can only honestly obey the order, so they don't have to control them, let them think that this is just a simple march training."

"This is also the good fortune of the two of them. When they win, they will thank us."

"Food and water must be prepared properly. Before departure, strict inspection must be carried out." Morimoto stood up holding the saber.

"Hay." The three squadron leaders also stood up and nodded.

"Very well, then, everyone, for the dignity of the Imperial Army and for the future of the Empire, everything is for everyone."

"Hay." The three captains raised their chests to salute Morimoto, then turned around and walked out of the office with a saber scabbard.

"Report, Master Nakasa, your backpack has been taken, and the items inside have been sorted out." Toi reports with Morimoto's cowhide officer's backpack standing at the door of the office.

"You will be responsible for keeping this for me in a moment, and you will have to prepare it yourself, and you will set off immediately after the assembly."

At this time, the loud commanding sound of the commander on the training ground between the camps had already sounded, and a mess of shouts and running sounds suddenly sounded in the camp.

The Morimoto Brigade landed from the port of Qinzhou to the battle of Nanning, then came down to the battle of Kunlunguan, and then carried out the border blockade mission. During the battle, the dead and wounded in the battle, plus disease and other accident losses, plus the division’s superior transfer and loan, now There were only 947 remaining in the brigade, and the shortfall was almost close to the number of a squadron.

Because of the difficulty in supplying, although the fifth division had monthly supply of soldiers from the country, it suffered from a lack of means of transportation, and most of them were hoarded in the barracks of Qinzhou Port for distribution. The division once ordered a group of supplementary soldiers to march to their assigned troops. As a result, hundreds of kilometers of mountain roads came down, and this group of supplementary soldiers was completely exhausted. The Morimoto Brigade once recovered fifty such supplementary soldiers from Pingxiang. The poor recruits walked all the way from Qinzhou to Pingxiang. The whole journey was almost 600 kilometers of mountain roads. After arriving, they all looked like beggars and ghosts. Ghosts are not like people. But such a supplementary soldier has only received this batch so far, and the subsequent reports are like mud bulls entering the sea. There is no more echo.

The training of the Japanese army was very strict in the past, not to mention the steel army touted by the domestic media, such as the Fifth Division. In just ten minutes, the squadrons had gathered around the playground. More than nine hundred people are arranged in a neat square array according to their respective units. Morimoto Nakasa took his lieutenant Nobi Lieutenant to the center of the playground with a serious expression. Morimoto climbed to the podium built in the middle, and Lieutenant Nobi gave the order aloud.

"All upright!" All Japanese soldiers quickly closed their legs and lifted their chests.

The commanders of the four infantry squadrons, machine gun squadrons, and infantry artillery squadrons ran quickly in front of Morimoto, saluting Morimoto.

"Master Captain, the third team of the 21st Wing Infantry is all assembled. Waiting for the order." Lieutenant Nobi, the team's lieutenant, asked Morimoto for instructions.

"Go!" Morimoto returned a military salute to Nobi, and then gave orders to the commanders standing in front of him.

"Ha." After the five people stood up and saluted, they turned and ran back to their respective squares.

"Go! Go forward! Go forward!" With the cries and orders of Cao Chang and Jun Cao, the third brigade began to walk out of the camp slowly in a regular pace according to the predetermined marching sequence.

“万朵の桜か髋の色，花は吉野に岚吹く，大和男と生まれなば，散兵线の花と散れ (Lyric meaning, Wanduo cherry blossoms and collars are the same color, with strong wind drifting towards Yoshinohara . If you were born as a Yamato boy, you should die with flowers on the line of scatter.)" Under the leadership of Captain Kato, the ninth brigade soldiers at the top of the army sang the military song, magnificent and neat. The voice of the song echoed through the valley. The soldiers didn’t even know at this time that this would be the last march in their lives. Most of the people present would die a few hours later, and those who survived would also be cursed by countless compatriots. Spend the rest of my life with scolding.

Morimoto’s plan was not very complicated. His request report to the wing was to strengthen the team’s combat skills in the mountain jungle environment. The third brigade is preparing to organize an off-road march training. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, or to say that he still wants to leave a way for himself, he also specifically stated that it is a trekking march training, and does not carry the brigade and logistics of the brigade. At the same time, each soldier only carries noon lunch, which looks like a regular training trip back and forth that day.

The superiors of the wing did not find any reason to block this kind of training affairs, so they gave instructions and agreed to this troop movement. Generally speaking, the military training inside the brigade does not need to ask the wing team for instructions. The brigade leader can be decided in one sentence, but this time it is the brigade who dispatched all of them. In addition, infantry artillery squadrons and heavy machine gun squadrons are brought along, so you must get the approval of your superiors, because a march of this size will definitely alarm the troops stationed in the surroundings, so you must greet you in advance. Any misunderstandings and accidents may occur. .

Morimoto's marching sequence at the time was that the ninth infantry squadron came first, followed by a heavy machine gun squad, followed by the brigade headquarters, then the tenth squadron and the eleventh squadron, and behind them were the remaining three of the machine gun squadron The squadron and infantry artillery squadron, the twelfth squadron followed and finally suppressed the squadron.

The Morimoto Brigade was stationed on the shady side of the mountain beam on the right side of the road between the town of Nanguan and French Indochina, close to the place called Shanzi Old Village by locals. Mountain village. There are several mountain paths in the surrounding area, most of which lead to Vietnam, so they need special garrison guards. Now the Morimoto Brigade is walking along one of the mountain roads in the direction of Zhennanguan. The officer told the soldiers that their destination will be the 17th border pillar at the Sino-Vietnamese border. After lunch in the local area, they returned to the barracks. What the low-ranking sergeants and soldiers did not know was that the officers they trusted concealed the truth from them. This time they were not going to check the boundary monument. French border town of Indochina, Tongdeng.

Sorry, I still can't fight today... so I don't dare to ask for a monthly ticket anymore, I dare not go to read the current ranking of this book, continue to drill through the old paper piles to check the information, and strive to fight the following battle well, thank you Everyone's support. (To be continued.)
