Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Renya, commander of the 18th Division, has been very depressed these days. Cooperating with the 18th Division is the Japanese Guards Division code-named "Palace".

The Guards Division is one of the seven earliest divisions established in Japan and one of the 17 Category A standing divisions. It is actually the Imperial Guard of the Emperor of Japan, and its four regiments are all from Tokyo.

Although the Guards Division was the Emperor's Imperial Guard, when the Japanese army was reorganized in 1940, the Guards Division was not reorganized into an armored force because the unit was equipped with a large number of bicycles and was called the "Silver Wheel Force."

As the Emperor's Guards, joining the Guards Division is a matter of great pride for Japanese soldiers. The Guards Division is also considered the "senior unit" in the Japanese Army. If there are noble children who need gold plating,

The Guards Division is the best choice.

After the outbreak of the Far East War, the Guards Division stayed in Tokyo until 1939 when it was sent to the battlefield due to the tight war situation.

After the outbreak of the Malay War, the Guards Division was subordinate to the 25th Army and participated in the attack on the Malay Peninsula, but its performance was not outstanding.

Compared with the Guards Division, the annihilated Fifth Division and the Eighteenth Division had stronger combat effectiveness.

Within the Japanese army, the 5th Division was code-named "Carp" and the 18th Division was code-named "Chrysanthemum".

For the Japanese, "Chrysanthemum" is a special plant and a symbol of the Japanese royal family. The 18th Division was code-named "Chrysanthemum" and was hailed as the "Strongest Division" by the Japanese army.

Like the Fifth Division, the Eighteenth Division was also one of the main perpetrators of the Nanjing Massacre...

The 18th Division was also the main culprit in provoking the "Marco Bridge Incident". Mutaguchi Lian once proudly said to others: The Greater East Asia War, if you want to talk about it, is my responsibility, because the first missile was fired at Marco Polo Bridge.

I was the one who started the war with bullets, so I think I have to take responsibility for it.

This statement is actually to put money in one's own face. The decision to start the war was made by the Japanese Emperor and the Japanese government, and Mutaguchi Ren was only the executor.

When the 18th Division and the Guards Division were ordered to attack Kinma, the 5th Division had not yet been wiped out. The 18th Division led by Mutaguchi Renya was far away from Kinma, and the Guards Division led by Nishimura Takuma

The regiment was relatively close to Jinma, so Mutaguchi Lian ordered the 18th Division to slow down, hoping to test the combat effectiveness of the Southern African Army through the Guards Division.

Nishimura is not stupid after thinking about it. The defeat of the Japanese army on Diaomen Island has proved that the combat effectiveness of the southern African army far exceeds that of the British.

The siege of the Fifth Division made Nishimura Takuma even more frightened. Since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese army had never had a division-level unit be annihilated.

Although the Fifth Division has not yet been wiped out, it is not far behind.

Nishimura Takuma and the officers of the Guards Division were very dissatisfied with the slow progress of the 18th Division. Some officers of the Guards Division had already referred to Mutaguchi Renya as "Ghost Mutaguchi".

Mutaguchi Lian is a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist.

He believed that both in terms of strategic position and strength, the Guards Division was in a subordinate position in the cooperative operations with the 18th Division.

Both troops were wary, so the progress could not be fast. The complex terrain of the Malay Peninsula also gave Takuma Nishimura and Renya Mutaguchi ample excuses.

When the 3rd Guards Infantry Regiment under the Guards Division arrived in Kinma, the 1st Regiment had not yet set off from Kuala Lumpur. The two places were 110 kilometers apart.

This 110 kilometers is a straight line distance, and the actual distance is much longer. When the British ruled the Malay Peninsula, they had the same virtue as the Americans. They never built roads, and the road traffic situation was very bad.

When the 3rd Guards Infantry Regiment arrived at Kinma, the main forces of the 19th Southern African Division and the 6th East India Division had already arrived at Kinma.

The Australian 8th Division was still busy annihilating the remaining troops of the 5th Division. Henry Kelson was happy with it and issued a kill order to the 5th Division, refusing to accept the surrender of the officers and soldiers of the 5th Division at all.

The Fifth Division participated in the attack on Kuala Lumpur. During the occupation of Kuala Lumpur, a unit belonging to the Fifth Division broke into a British-run hospital and wounded more than 200 British soldiers who were being treated in the hospital.

All soldiers and medical staff were killed.

The brutal behavior of the Japanese army angered Henry Kelson. In his opinion, the Japanese did not deserve to live and all deserved to go to hell, so there was no psychological barrier to issuing such an order.

Ford also had no psychological barriers to annihilating the Japanese. After the Japanese army occupied Kuala Lumpur, Yamashita Fengfumi couldn't wait to massacre the Chinese living in Kuala Lumpur in order to suppress the resistance.

Like the Lion City, there were many ethnic Chinese living in Kuala Lumpur before the war.

After the war broke out, many ethnic Chinese fled to the Lion City or the East Indies. Only those who still had expectations for the British Empire stayed.

These people were now in bad luck. When the British troops withdrew from Kuala Lumpur, they took away as many white people as possible. The remaining Chinese were not eligible to board the ship, and were subsequently massacred by the Japanese.

It had only been a few days since the Japanese army occupied Kuala Lumpur, and more than 3,000 Chinese people had already been massacred.

So Ford also issued a kill order to the Japanese army.

"The strength of the Guards Division should be quite good. How does it compare with our Guards?" Ivan the Great didn't know the Japanese army, and thought that the strength of the Guards Division could be compared with the First Cavalry Division and Rhodesia.

Compared to the Northern Division.

Since their creation, the 1st Cavalry Division and the Northern Rhodesian Division have gone through many cuts and have never been dismantled.

The equipment of these two forces is very advanced. They have now been adapted into armored forces and are equipped with powerful helicopter aviation regiments. Their equipment level is the strongest in the world.

After the outbreak of the war, the 1st Cavalry Division was transferred to the British mainland and accepted the command of the Atlantic Theater and was affiliated with the First Army.

The Northern Rhodesian Division is in Changi. It is Angel's trump card unit and will not be easily mobilized.

"Are you talking about the troops who fought on bicycles? They don't even have motorcycles." Chen Kai's expression was full of disdain. The Japanese always love to play this kind of gimmick. No matter how nice the name is, it can't change the fact that the Japanese army's equipment is backward.

This made Chen Kai very dissatisfied.

Chen Kai and his generation did not participate in the last world war.

Chen Kai's uncle participated. Not only did he bring back rich trophies from Europe, but he also brought back an aunt for Chen Kai who was said to have aristocratic blood.

When Chen Kai was young, he heard his uncle talk about the process of fighting in Europe countless times.

In Uncle Chen Kai’s description, Europe, whether it’s France or Germany, is filled with gold. In France, Uncle Chen Kai once exchanged two boxes of cans for an oriental ink painting and sold it to a military service agency for 1,500 rand.

.

That was 1,500 rand twenty years ago. After the war, Uncle Chen Kai bought a 1,500-acre farm in Tanganyika for a total of 2,000 rand.

The farm is now worth 20,000, which has increased tenfold. Uncle Chen Kai's daily life now consists of hunting and fishing, and inviting a few friends to barbecue and drink together in the evening. Chen Kai also wants this kind of life.

Compared with Europeans, ordinary Japanese soldiers have no personal property at all. Officers are better, but not much better. After the last battle, Chen Kai was still very keen on cleaning the battlefield, but he soon lost interest.

, the only gain was the Japanese saber.

Oh, there are also some military tickets that cannot be spent at all. This stuff is purely waste paper printed by the Japanese army to plunder the wealth of the occupied areas, and the Japanese government does not recognize it.

"I hope to also capture a Japanese saber, so that I can use the captured saber to propose to Maria. That will be proof of my courage." Ivan the Great has ideals, and Maria is Ivan the Great's neighbor.

A petite Russian girl, Big Ivan has a photo of Maria in his wallet, which Chen Kai has seen.

"Then you need to be braver and a little bit lucky." Chen Kai encouraged, he now has no desire or desire.

It’s not that he has no desires. Chen Kai hopes that after Southern Africa captures Tokyo, he can sit on the throne of the Japanese Emperor and take photos. In this way, after a few years, Chen Kai will have the capital to brag to his children.

Big Ivan's luck soon came.

No matter how reluctant Nishimura was, the Guards Division still arrived at Kinma earlier than the 18th Division.

After the 3rd Infantry Regiment arrived in Jinma, they couldn't wait to launch an attack on the positions where Chen Kai and Dayi Wan were located.

Nishimura's carefulness did not affect the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division.

The arrogant officers of the Guards Division do not believe that the combat effectiveness of the southern African army is very high. In order to build confidence, the top brass of the Japanese army have been instilling the "Bushido spirit" into all Japanese citizens. The officers of the Guards Division firmly believe that with willpower, they can

To offset the equipment advantages of the Southern African Army, the "Leopard" tank is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how thick the armor is, it will tremble in front of the powerful Guards Division.

The positions where Chen Kai and Da Yiwan are located are located at the exit of a valley, which is the only way for the Japanese army to attack Jinma. Southern African soldiers like this terrain best, and can maximize the equipment advantages of the Southern African army.

The valley is about a hundred meters wide, and there is a fast-flowing river beside the winding mountain road. There are rugged rocks in the river, and the other side is dense vegetation growing on the steep cliffs, making it impossible for humans to pass.

In such terrain, if a heavy machine gun is placed at the entrance of the valley, as many Japanese as they come will die.

Chen Kai's company has 16 light and heavy machine guns, as well as four 40mm automatic grenade launchers and six 80mm mortars. The intensity of firepower is outrageous.

Compared with the heavily armed 19th Division, the 3rd Infantry Regiment only has a total of 12 92 infantry guns and no more than 30 machine guns.

Chen Kai's company only has 140 people.

The total strength of the 3rd Infantry Regiment is 3,800.

The "Yilun Troop" lived up to its name. When the first soldier of the 3rd Infantry Regiment riding a bicycle appeared on the mountain road, Chen Kai immediately cheered up.

The equipment of this Japanese soldier was very strange. His coat buttons were all unbuttoned, and he was wearing an MK-2 steel helmet shaped like a pot lid. This should have been captured from a British soldier.

The Japanese government is indeed short of supplies and has not even designed military uniforms suitable for tropical operations for Japanese officers and soldiers fighting in the tropics. Now the officers and soldiers of the 25th Group still wear summer clothes suitable for temperate zone operations, which are obviously too thick for the Malay Peninsula.

Riding a bicycle is also very tiring. In order to reduce the load, this Japanese soldier tied his backpack and rifle to the back seat of the bicycle. Without any preparation for combat, he even stood up from the bicycle and pedaled very fast in order to speed up.

Boom!

A certain outstanding shooter in southern Africa destroyed the tranquility of the valley and hit a Japanese soldier in the abdomen.

This should be intentional. If necessary, the Japanese soldier could be killed directly.

The shooter did not do this, obviously wanting to make the Japanese soldiers suffer more pain. Since Yamashita massacred the Chinese in Kuala Lumpur on orders, the "Prisoner of War Convention" no longer exists in the southern African army.

The Japanese soldier was caught off guard and fell off his bicycle. The huge wound on his abdomen was shocking. This was obviously not an injury caused by a normal bullet. The wound on the front was very small, but blood gushed out crazily. Most of the bullets had been modified.

For the British Commonwealth troops, DUM bullets are a traditional skill. Although DUM bullets have been banned from use, there are many ways for soldiers in southern Africa to transform normal bullets into DUM bullets. After being hit by the modified bullets,

, the bullet will break into many small fragments inside the body, causing greater damage.

So regardless of the Japanese soldier who was hit, there was only a small wound on the front. The warhead had actually broken into countless pieces in the Japanese soldier's body. The internal organs of the Japanese soldier who had been hit had been damaged. Even if he was treated in time,

With the medical level of the Japanese army, most of them could not be cured.

What's more, the Japanese army will not waste precious medical resources on ordinary soldiers.

The Japanese soldier who was shot in the abdomen must have hoped to be rescued by his comrades. His wailing voice echoed throughout the valley, even suppressing the sound of machine gun fire.

The machine gunners in southern Africa are very happy. Narrow mountain roads are most conducive to machine gun fire. After the bullet penetrates one person's body, the kinetic energy will not disappear, and it will continue to fly forward to penetrate the next one, and the next one.

A bullet from a general-purpose machine gun in southern Africa is still lethal after penetrating four people.

Don't ask how you know this data, just ask that the Germans have verified it.

While the machine gun was firing, the shooter manipulating the grenade launcher was also busy.

Against light infantry, the grenade launcher is the most powerful weapon, especially in unobstructed terrain. The power of 40mm grenades can be fully unleashed, and a single hit can create a large area.

Chen Kai only fired one shot after the battle broke out, and it seemed that he had not hit the target.

Big Ivan was extremely excited. After emptying the bullets in the magazine, he pressed another magazine into the magazine, and then fired it all again immediately.

Fight, fight. There are a lot of bullets in southern Africa. They are so generous to the East Indian Army and have no restrictions on their own people. When fighting, the soldiers always take as many as they want.

Although Nyasaland's semi-automatic rifle is advanced, it doesn't have much room to play in such an asymmetrical battle.

Soon all the Japanese troops on the road disappeared. Some Japanese soldiers who were smart jumped into the small river next to them after the gunshots were fired. The current of the river was fast, and the Japanese soldiers who jumped into the river were rushed by the river towards the positions of the Southern African Army. They struggled desperately to catch them.

Anything that can be grasped is in vain.
