Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 251: Big fire and (16)

If the Japanese navy and army people are asked to rank the arms that are least popular with their own people, the military police must rank in the top three. And if the same investigation is done in the German army, then the position of the Japanese military police is definitely left to the SS. Compared with their Japanese counterparts, the German gendarmerie clearly lacks a little deterrent.

When the German SS has developed to the extreme in history, it has broken away from the category of a paramilitary organization and evolved into a country’s administrative organization. Its powers have covered the original police and military police’s jurisdiction, and even intervened In the fields of production and people's livelihood, it controls a large number of labor and resources in Germany. Because of the trust of the head of state, the SS holds a large number of the secrets of the Third Reich. This is also the eve of the end of the empire. Himmler dared to hide from Hitler, the source of his confidence to contact the Allies alone.

But that is only the history in Xu Jun's memory, and in this time and space, under the guidance of the new head of state, the SS has embarked on a road completely different from history. The armed guard brigade is a pilot combat unit, and the training content of this unit is somewhat similar to that of the army's special forces in later generations.

It can be seen from the weapon configuration of this brigade that they are not suitable for fighting in regular positions. This unit is more suitable for high-speed mobile guerrilla combat. From Xu Jun’s point of view, the mission range is somewhat similar Rangers of the future US military. The real American Ranger troops were not formed until June 1942 for the first time in history.

The light infantry units of the Tomahawk Battalion are all wearing gray-green German Army autumn and winter combat uniforms, which are newly made in the clothing factory in the French Concession. The uniforms do not use the black SS collars, which makes them Now it looks like a German army unit.

The epaulettes and collar badges are still the internal style of the SS, but a new design in Berlin is adopted. The ss logo and military rank on the collar badge are no longer twisted with silk embroidery, but directly used metal stamping parts with chrome-plated surface , It looks very beautiful with silver glitter. There is also a black matte version of this rank, which is specially used by officers and soldiers in the field. The new collar was airlifted from Germany, and the attached order was signed with the name of Himmler, the national leader of the SS, but everyone was more willing to believe that this must be the idea of ​​the head of state.

At this time, the rank logo worn by the Tomahawk brigade is a matte version of the battle. The black ss logo is not eye-catching at first glance, but with the temperament and expression of the soldier, it immediately makes people feel murderous.

The officers and soldiers wore m35 steel helmets covered with gray-green khaki helmets. The helmets that the brigade carried to Shanghai this time were all black SS military parade paintings, with red and white on the left. The kind with the **** coat of arms looks like a bullseye from a distance. Of course, it is not suitable for wearing during combat, so a gray-green helmet is needed. This helmet was not made to order by the French. Instead, I found a garment factory run by a Chinese. It is said to be a thread brought by a high-level official in the special mission. As for any other transactions in it, then Not enough for outsiders.

I said earlier that the Japanese military police are not welcome, and this is limited to the army and navy. Among the Japanese people, the military police is highly respected. It's not because the gendarmerie is expected to return, it is because of the high salary of this unit.

Usually a Japanese high-ranking soldier has a monthly allowance of eight yuan and eight cents per month. Looking at the military police, the monthly salary of a high-ranking military soldier is fifty yuan and fifty cents, which is five times that of ordinary soldiers in the army. many. The rank of the gendarmerie soldier is equivalent to the inspector in the police, and it is not at the same level as the ordinary big head soldier. Therefore, every time the gendarmerie recruits soldiers, applicants are flocking to it, and the competition is fierce and cruel.

At that time, the minimum education standard for recruiting military police in Japan was graduation from elementary school. After passing the examination and training in the military police training center, they could become an awesome military police. Judging from the nature of the military police's work, they are actually police officers in the army, so their training direction and training subjects are completely different from ordinary army combat units. In addition to regular military training, they also need to learn various military regulations and police techniques, and their targets are mainly various criminal activities involving the military, and then gradually spread to all hostile activities against the Japanese.

The strength of the Japanese gendarmerie has always been weak. Before the end of the war, it was also when the size of the Japanese gendarmerie expanded to its highest level. The total number of gendarmerie in Japan was only more than 30,000. The gendarmerie squadrons attached to the occupied areas and even the division headquarters are often just the size of their detachments. There is even a gendarmerie squad in many places. The captain and his subordinates can’t make up a squad. They are called gendarmerie detachments in the Japanese army. .

Because of the headquarters of the Japanese Gendarmerie in Shanghai, it is already the largest in East China, but it has only one squadron. In this attack on the 76th, the Shanghai Gendarmerie immediately plunged into a small team, which was equivalent to throwing a quarter of its troops here.

As mentioned earlier, the Japanese military police are simply the military police. They themselves called it this way earlier. The establishment of the Japanese military police was completely out of the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department. The first batch of Japanese military military police was actually produced by the Tokyo Police. It was adapted from the police of the video department.

Because of the special nature of the work, most of the equipment issued by the Japanese military police is based on deterrence, and does not take into account the actual combat effect. The result is a tragedy at this time. The military police are classified as cavalry and heavy soldiers in the Japanese army, so every Japanese military police is qualified to wear sabers and leather leggings~IndoMTL.com~Senior non-commissioned officers can even wear long riding boots. Each military policeman is assigned a short military cloak with a hood, which has almost become the symbol of the Japanese military police. It also becomes the symbol of this unit. One is the hexagonal sunburst on their collar and the other is the red letter on the white background. The military police armband (there are also black letters, but not many survive.).

The Aoki Squad was originally equipped with a standard military police. Everyone had a saber and a southern pistol. For this operation, they deliberately received a batch of rifles and machine guns from the 13th Army. However, the gendarmerie did not organize much weapon training. This year, they have been busy hunting down Chongqing agents and Red Party members. They have time to soak in the meat forest of the Jiuchi in Hongkou Little Tokyo. This kind of combat technology, Usually it is not necessary at all, whoever has the energy will do it by himself.

Don't look at the fame of the Shanghai Gendarmerie. In fact, apart from the fact that they were forced to go to the battlefield during the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu on January 28, they had not fired a gun several times in the following years.

Most of the anti-Japanese people in Shanghai have no weapons. Even among the hidden agents dispatched by Chongqing, many of them are unarmed in order to hide their identity. Even some armed agents seldom choose to resist. Most of them are watching. The situation was unfavorable, so he knelt and raised his hands to surrender.

If you encounter a ruthless character, let the Shanghai gang and the 76th deal with it, and the ordinary goods will be handed over to the pseudo police and the concession to patrol. There is no need for the Japanese military police to do it yourself. As a result, after meeting the desperadoes on the 76th, the gendarmerie's uncles immediately suffered heavy losses. After all, they are still police, and their combat effectiveness is really limited.
