Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 257: Outgoing (below)

After putting on his uniform, Morimoto hung his saber on the belt of his army pants, walked steadily to the door, and pushed open the bedroom door. (For the latest chapter, please go to: Literature Building www.wenxue) [Reading the latest chapter]

"Master Zhong Zuo." Orderly Toi had already squatted outside and waited.

"Have you been notified?" Morimoto stretched out his leg, and Toi skillfully put on his polished military boots.

"Kato, Hasegawa, and Okubo squadron captains are already waiting in the office." Toi put on another army boot for Morimoto, and then handed the prepared leather armed belt to the captain.

"Toi, you go get my backpack ready."

"Master Zhong Zuo doesn't ride a horse today?"

"Today you must follow me closely and don't run around." Morimoto did not answer Toi's question. With the help of the latter, he put on the armed belt, stepped on the map bag, and then questioned the other party. In his eyes, he took out the southern pistol from the holster, pulled out the magazine and checked the bullet.

"Hayi, Master Nakasa." Toi leaned respectfully to Morimoto, then turned and exited the room.

"Master Zhong Zuo." Seeing the captain walk into the office fully armed, the three squadron commanders waiting there quickly stood up and saluted the captain.

"Hmm." Morimoto replied a military salute to the three abdomens with a serious expression, then strode to the desk, bowed deeply to the portrait of Hirohito hanging on the wall, and the three subordinates hurriedly followed He bent down behind him.

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

For today's action, Morimoto prepared for more than two weeks. During this time, he was enlightened and tried his best to successfully pull the three squadron captains to his side. Originally there was also Captain Fukuda, the squadron leader of the 12th Squadron. Unfortunately, just three days ago, this squadron leader and a veteran of the same squadron under his command were transferred to the 42nd Wing to supplement their No. Second brigade. Since the Battle of Kunlun Pass, the second squadron of the 42nd Wing, which suffered serious losses, has not recovered its strength. Although it has been supplemented, the proportion of recruits is too high. It is necessary to mobilize a part of veterans and experienced officers in the past to replenish their strength.

Morimoto is very dissatisfied with the order of the division headquarters. He knows that this is an action specifically directed at him, and wants to use this method to remove the backbone of the Morimoto team. Weaken the team's strength, and use this to stumble Morimoto team's hands and feet. Obviously someone in the division had already noticed that Takuji Morimoto was a potential troublemaker, and prepared to put a bridle on him in this way. But obviously, this awkward method had a counterproductive effect at this time, because he was worried that his brigade would continue to weaken in this way. Morimoto was forced to initiate his action in advance.

At this time, the squadron leader of the 12th Squadron was Captain Toshio Hisano who had just been 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 small group.

"Everything is ready." Captain Kato Sosuke of the 9th Squadron replied loudly.

"Master Nakasa, is the decision today?" Captain Hasegawa Nobuya of the 10th Squadron asked.

"Isn’t it set last night? Captain Hasegawa, do you have any other opinions now?" Captain Takeo Okubo of the 11th Squadron is an officer with fierce personality. He immediately treated Hasegawa’s attitude. Expressed dissatisfaction.

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

"Well, in front of Mr. Nakasa, don't make unnecessary quarrels." Captain Kato is the oldest among these squadron leaders. He stopped two colleagues.

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

"The captain of the wing has approved my request. We can only give it a go now. I want to remind you that once the action begins, you must never look back. We represent the power of the Great Japanese Empire. Remember, I don’t want to see cowards who flinch from that squadron."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhongzuo, my subordinates are loyal and brave warriors, and we will never do anything to put the banner to shame."

"Has the ammunition been distributed?"

"Each soldier was dispensed with a sufficient amount of ammunition and extra. Each team organized ammunition carrying groups, which were carried by the soldiers in turn."

"The machine gun squadron and the infantry artillery squadron have also been arranged, but can you not tell them the truth?"

"Pingchuan is a horseman, Ono is too courageous. It's not trustworthy. When the battle begins, they can only obey the orders honestly, so don't worry about them, let them think this is just a simple marching training. Alright."

"This is also a blessing for the two of them. They will thank us when they win the argument."

"Food and water must be prepared. Be sure to check strictly before setting off." Morimoto stood up with his saber.

"Hayi." The three squadron leaders also stood up and nodded in compliance.

"Very well, then everyone, for the dignity of the imperial army and for the future of the imperial, please do everything."

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

"Report, Mr. Nakasa, your backpack has been taken, and the contents are all sorted." Toi carried Morimoto's leather officer's backpack standing in front of the office and reported.

"You will be responsible for keeping this for me in a while, and you should prepare it yourself. You will set off soon after the assembly."

At this time, the loud assembly horn of the commander of the military training ground between the camps has sounded, and a mess of shouts and running sounded in the camp.

The Morimoto brigade landed from Qinzhou Port until the Battle of Nanning, then came down to the Battle of Kunlun Pass, and then carried out the border blockade mission. During the period, the battle was killed and injured, as well as illness and other accidental losses. In addition, the division superiors were transferred and loaned. Yes, there are only 947 people left in the entire squadron at the moment.

Because of supply difficulties, although the Fifth Division has supplementary troops shipped from China every month, it suffers from a lack of transportation means, and most of them are hoarding in the barracks in Qinzhou Port waiting for distribution. The division once ordered a group of supplementary soldiers to march on foot 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 brought back fifty such supplementary soldiers from Pingxiang. This poor group of recruits walked all the way from Qinzhou to Pingxiang, covering almost 600 kilometers of mountain roads. After arriving, they looked like beggars, not ghosts. Ghosts are not like humans. But it is such a supplementary soldier, so far, only this batch has been received, and the subsequent reports are like mud cows entering the sea. There is no answer again.

The training of the Japanese army in the past was very strict, not to mention the Fifth Division, a steel army touted by the domestic media, in just ten minutes, the squadrons had assembled in four weeks of field c. More than nine hundred people arranged in a neat square according to their units. Morimoto Nakasa led his adjutant Lieutenant Nobi to the center of the c field with a serious expression. Morimoto climbed to the leading platform built in the middle, and Lieutenant Nobi gave the order loudly.

"All stand at attention!" All the Japanese soldiers hurriedly closed their legs and straightened their chests.

The commanders of the four infantry squadrons, the machine gun squadron, and the infantry artillery squadron quickly ran to Morimoto and saluted him.

"My lord of the brigade, the third brigade of the 21st Infantry Regiment is all assembled. Waiting for the order." Lieutenant Nobi of the brigade asked Morimoto for instructions.

"Go!" Morimoto paid a military salute to Nobi, and then loudly issued orders to several commanders standing in front of him.

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

"Go! Go! Go!" With the shouts and orders of the chief Cao and the sergeant, the third brigade began to walk out of the camp gate slowly, following the scheduled marching sequence.

"万朵の桜か関の色，花は吉野に嵐吹く，大和男と生まれなば，散兵线の花と散れ (The meaning of the lyrics is that Wandou cherry blossoms and collar badges are of the same color, floating with the strong wind Xiang Yoshinohara. If you were born as a Yamato boy, you should wither like a flower on the skirmish line.)" Under the leadership of Kato Squadron Captain, the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion at the head of the army sang military songs. , The majestic and tidy singing echoed in the valley. These soldiers did not know at this time. This would be their last march in their life. Most of the people present would die in a few hours, and there would be countless people who survived. The rest of my life was spent amidst the curses and scolding of my compatriots.

Morimoto’s plan is actually not very complicated. The request report he submitted to the Wing was to strengthen the brigade’s combat skills in the mountain jungle environment. The third brigade prepares to organize a cross-country marching training. In order to cover people's eyes, or he wanted to leave a way for himself, he also specifically indicated that it was training on foot, and he did not carry the brigade's baggage and logistics troops. At the same time, each soldier only carries lunch at noon, which looks like a regular training back and forth that day.

For this kind of training, the superiors of the wing could not find a reason to stop them, so they also approved this troop mobilization operation. Generally, it is not necessary to ask the wing department for military training involving the brigade. The brigade captain can decide in one word, but this time the brigade is all dispatched. In addition, the infantry artillery squadron and the heavy machine gun squadron must be approved by the superiors, because the march of this scale will inevitably disturb the troops stationed in the surrounding area, so you must say hello in advance to avoid misunderstandings and accidents. .

Morimoto’s marching sequence at the time was ~IndoMTL.com~ The 9th Infantry Squadron was at the forefront, followed by a heavy machine gun squadron, followed by the squadron, then the 10th Squadron and the 11th Squadron, behind them The remaining three squadrons of the machine gun squadron and the infantry artillery squadron, the twelfth squadron followed at the end to suppress the tail.

The location where Morimoto Brigade was stationed was on the back side of the mountain beam on the right side of the road between Zhennanguan and French Indochina, near the place called Shanzi Old Village by the locals. Because there is a Shanzi New Village, it was taken by the Japanese army. Collectively called Ershan Village. There are several mountain roads in the surrounding area, most of which lead to the territory of Vietnam, so special military guards are needed. And now Morimoto Brigade is advancing along one of the mountain roads towards Zhennan Pass. The officer told the soldiers that their destination will be the No. 17 boundary marker on the Sino-Vietnamese border. After finding the boundary marker, the brigade will be there. After lunch, the locals returned to the barracks. What the junior sergeants and soldiers didn’t know was that the officers they trusted had concealed the truth from them. This time they were not going to check any boundary monument. The final destination of the Morimoto Battalion’s trip was The border town of French Indochina, Tongdeng.

Sorry, I still couldn’t fight today, so I didn’t dare to ask for a monthly pass. I didn’t dare to look at the ranking of this book. I continued to search for information and try to fight the next battle. Thank you everyone. (To be continued.)
