Battle of the Third Reich

The Japanese government's "good intentions" have not been recognized by the subordinates. The city of Shanghai seems calm, but there is a dark tide under the water.

The four divisions under the control of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army and five independent mixed brigades, of which the main division and independent mixed brigades are all stationed in the surrounding cities. There are only 116 divisions and some left in the Shanghai area. The service units were stationed in several old country barracks on the edge of the concession.

The main tasks of the Thirteenth Army are the defense of important cities such as Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jiujiang, and Wuhu, as well as the raiders around Shanghai, as well as the maintenance of local law and order in Zhejiang and northern Jiangsu.

All the affiliated troops are the ad hoc divisions of the 3rd Wing, which are reorganized after the war, and the source of the troops is the reserve and reserve troops from the domestic left-behind divisions. The combat strength is far less than the pre-war standing divisions.

For example, the 116th Division is composed of the reserve veterans of the 16th Division in the Kyoto Division and the reserve personnel qualified for medical examination. Although they have participated in the Wuhan Battle, they are mainly responsible for the rear alert task. Ever since the 106th Division became ugly in the Battle of Lushan, the senior leaders of the Sina Army had fully understood the fighting power of this group of 100th Divisions and had no expectations of them.

In the history of four or four years, Japan’s overall strategy has become fatigued. In the absence of troops, this special division was pulled out to participate in the famous [Mainland Opening Operation], and the result was completely under the Hengyang City. Disabling.

At this time, the two infantry wing teams were stationed in Shanghai. The 109th United Team had just completed the security task on the front line of the Yangtze River Fairway and returned to Shanghai to prepare for rest. As a result, the officers and soldiers had received orders from the All-Team Guard before they could spend two days in the "Hongkou Little Tokyo".

Since the "Morimoto Brigade Incident", Japan has specially cleaned up the military discipline of the garrison troops, and the power of the military police masters has once again been strengthened, and violations of superior orders have rarely happened.

Of course, this does not mean that the Japanese Soldiers Association has changed its nature. The military discipline of the Japanese Army is not used to protect the interests of the Chinese people. The main purpose of strengthening discipline is to strengthen the authority of superior officers and prevent the occurrence of unauthorized actions of the lower ranks. It's a matter of killing your superiors.

Ordinary soldiers have lost the opportunity to leave the camp, but it does not mean that the regulations are as effective for officers. Some senior officers can still go to places such as officer service agencies around the camp to find fun, or take comfort from the army comfort. On the woman, vent the pressure accumulated before.

"I think the guys in the staff headquarters took it for granted. They didn't understand the real situation here." Houdong Nao Shao Zuo from the staff division of the 116th Division lowered the glass in his hand and picked up the bottle on the table. Captain Amano, who was sitting next to him, poured half a glass of whiskey.

"The Tojo Army Secretary simply didn't understand our first-line soldiers' ideas, he only knew how to strengthen his personal authority." Captain Kamiya, the first brigade of the 116th Corps of Engineers, said aloud.

"Hey, I understand your feelings, but please be quiet." Captain Huagu held the wine glass that Shengu was pouring into his mouth. The black badge on his uniform represented him as a military police.

"What does it matter, what does it matter, he's not telling lies." The commander-in-chief shouted with a red face when he saw the lieutenant.

"See you, you have drunk too much." Captain Amano put down the glass and said to him with a serious attitude.

"Ha, sorry, I'm so rude." When the boss said, the lieutenant's staff bowed his head respectfully and admitted his mistake.

"It's all because of the special envoys of the Duo Kingdom, the army province and the staff of the staff headquarters. They are still dreaming that the Duo people will fall to the side of the empire." Hou Dong Shao Zuo filled Huagu with wine.

"The attitude of the One Kingdom has become very obvious. Now that the British have surrendered, they are a big country in Europe. They no longer need the support of the Empire in diplomacy. I always think that we cannot pin our hopes on the attitude of the One. It is necessary to have the determination to fight against European powers." Ho Dong's voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm.

"That's right, only relying on our own power, those Westerners can't rely on it." Captain Amano clapped with his hands.

"The truth is right, but we people here are just empty talk. The big idea is the adults in the staff headquarters, the lord of the army, if they don't change this wrong idea now, there is nothing to say Use." Yan saw a tuna sashimi, dipped in soy sauce and put into the mouth.

"Let us hear our voices above," Captain Kamiya said, "so we collectively petition the commander, if it is just to accommodate the Duchess Mission for the sake of good looks, this is really too inconsistent."

"Don't forget, in this matter, Your Majesty the Emperor," said the captain of the Huagu Gendarmerie here, and the officers present quickly straightened their waists.

"Specially made the will. So this must be implemented resolutely, and the violators will be severely punished by the military law." The military police captain said with a straight face.

"Don't be so serious, God Valley just casually said, drinking, everyone classmates, it is rare to get together today. Hello! Give us another bottle of good wine, and add two hot dishes." Found the scene cooled down, Houdong Shaozuo quickly played the round, he turned back and pushed open the paper window towards the patio, shouting to the bartender downstairs.

"Oh, sorry, I drank too much today, and I still have tasks in the evening, so come here first, I'll say goodbye first." Huagu got up from the tatami, walked to the door of the box, and took it off the coat rack at the door His short cloak.

"Don't rush, Huagu. It's too early to get dark, sit for a while." Houdong stood up and held warmly.

"No, senior, I do have a problem. It's rude, everyone." Huagu put on a military hat, saluted a few salutes to the officers present, and then opened the sliding door and walked out of the private room.

"This gendarmerie red deer, a timid fellow." Yan saw a sip of wine while looking back.

"His identity is too sensitive to blame him." Houdong sat down and picked up a piece of roasted eel with chopsticks.

"The troublesome guy is gone. When he leaves this room, he is no longer a comrade of my generation. I thought of a plan with Hou Dong Shao Zuo. I originally wanted Huagu to participate. Now it seems that it will not work. "Captain Amano retracted his head from the window and sat back at the wine table.

"Oh, what plan?" Captain Kamiya asked curiously.

"The specific situation, please let Shao Zuo speak." Amano looked at Houdong sitting next to him.

Just as a group of young Japanese military officers conspired in the tavern box, another group of people gathered in a Shikumen building on Baylor Road in the French Concession.
