Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 248: The big fire (13)
The Japanese army dispatched four squadrons this time, but only the fifth squadron belonging to the second squadron was ordered to attack the 76th headquarters. The squadron leader was named Ohno and was born in Gunma prefecture northwest of Tokyo. According to him Claiming his mother is from Nara.
The 85th Wing was a newly reorganized unit during the Japanese army’s 38th year of expansion. It was organized in Wakamatsu City in Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture. It was previously the fief of the famous warring States general of the Kamio clan. It has a seven-story sky guard crane. The city is well-known throughout Japan (During the Meiji era, the entire country was demolishing cottage castles everywhere, and only a few ancient cities were saved by locals, and Tsuru Castle was one of them.).
During the Bakumatsu Boshin War, the Aizu clan, as a member of the shogunate, fought a fierce siege battle with the new government forces of Emperor Meiji here. After the victory of Changzhou Fan, because of the heavy losses of the troops, in order to retaliate against the defeated side, the locals were forbidden to bury the family members who died in the war, and left them in the wild to be swallowed by birds and beasts. The body was exposed for half a year. Since then, the Aizu people have forged a hatred that is difficult to resolve with the Choshu clan. This hatred has lasted for more than 100 years. By the end of the 20th century, the Aizu Wakamatsu people still refused to live with the people of Yamaguchi Prefecture. Local taxis will also refuse passengers from Kagoshima and Yamaguchi prefectures.
This is also the reason why the Japanese Army has not formed the Aizu Alliance after the Meiji and Taisho dynasties. Most of the high-ranking officers of the Japanese Army are from the Changshu clan. How could they sit back and watch the descendants of this group of "rebel" hostile to Changzhou turn over on their own territory.
In the past, most of the Japanese soldiers who came from Aizu were deployed to serve in the most dangerous or least promising positions, and it was extremely difficult to get promotion opportunities. Although the Changzhou Clan in the army was not as strong as it was in earlier years, it still had a huge network and influence. As a result, the 85th Wing was always treated as a second-line garrison by the superiors, and they were not given any capture at all. Opportunity for military exploits.
Historically, this alliance was transferred to mainland China in the second month after accepting the flag of the alliance in July of 38, and took on the task of defending Hangzhou City. As a result, the defense in Hangzhou lasted six years. . It wasn't until 1949 that the Japanese army's decline in the Pacific Theater gradually became apparent, and when the South China and South China forces were severely insufficient, the superiors had no choice but to transfer this unit to the front line of operations to participate in the "Operation One" intended to open up the mainland's communication lines.
This time, the task of clearing the 76th was not regarded as a good job by the senior management, but was regarded as a trouble by them, because it involved confidentiality. Once the battle was fought, it could not be publicized and repaid. On the contrary If there is a little mistake, it will definitely become a scapegoat for the superior. Therefore, when Mae Tian submitted his action plan, the Army Staff Headquarters agreed to his request for troop transfer almost without thinking.
The Eighty-Fifth Wing also knew the role they played this time, and these Aizu soldiers had already recognized their situation. They could only vent all their grievances on their targets. ,
The Fifth Squadron entered the hospital from the side entrance of No. 76. It was located on the west side of the garden. On the right hand side of the entrance was the auditorium filled with spies.
At this time, the sound of artillery at the front entrance just fell, and there was a loud gunfire in front of the second door. The military police stationed in No. 76 had almost a small group, the standard light infantry configuration, and no heavy weapons, but For professional reasons, each military policeman holds a southern pistol, with a certain amount of firepower for close combat. When the Fifth Squadron rushed into the backyard, the Japanese military police had driven the puppet agents and guards in the front yard to the office area on the east side, and firmly controlled the second door.
The Fifth Squadron finally had a real combat opportunity. How dare it be wasted easily? Before the secret agents in the auditorium could think about it, the outside of the auditorium was surrounded by Japanese soldiers on three sides.
"Stay!" Lieutenant Ohno pointed his saber toward the main entrance of the auditorium, and then several grenades shot in through the glass window next to the door.
"Daily Xiaodai, give it to Hugh! (Second team, shoot!)" Acting team leader Omu Cao Chang, waving his ninety-five saber in his hand, hissing and shouting excitedly.
The eleven-year-old light machine gun was erected, and soon the distinctive burst sound of this machine gun echoed in the air. The second team is equipped with three eleven-year machine guns, twenty-four rifles, and two grenadiers. Although the firepower is not the best in the world, it is quite fierce in this era.
The Japanese Army’s infantry organization and firepower configuration are completely learned from the German Army~IndoMTL.com~, but the standard used by the German Army more than ten years ago. If we talk about the establishment of light weapons alone, it seems that there is no obvious weakness between the Japanese army and the German conventional forces. Of course, if we compare the performance and firepower projection capabilities of the two sides' weapons, then the Japanese side is already behind the German army at this time.
The outer wall of the auditorium is just a conventional brick and wood structure, and there is no defense at all in front of the Japanese standard weapons. The Arisaka bullet with a caliber of 6.5 mm has a strong penetrating ability, and the thickness of this brick wall is less than forty centimeters.
At this time, bullets flew across the auditorium, and the agents sitting on the edge seats were dead and injured. Most of them did not understand what had happened until they died. Many stubborn people whose hands were stained with blood from innocent people fell into their own stinking pool of blood this time.
Some people wanted to escape from the exit, but the standing and moving body became the best target in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers outside the window. The dead bodies quickly piled up along the middle aisle. As a shelter, he hugged his head and lay on the back of the corpse pile. As a result, the remaining people followed suit. The survivors used the deceased's body as a shield and formed a circle in the middle of the hall.
Some self-defeating guys tried to break through with their weapons. Until this time, no one noticed the identity of the attacker. The spies thought they were Chongqing agents lurking into Shanghai. I didn't know if he had eaten the gall of the bear and dared to go to the 76th headquarters to go wild.
They had no idea that a premeditated massacre had just begun, and now they encountered only an appetizer.
PS: I have something tonight, so I can only post this point. I'm really sorry. I'll add it in a later chapter.
