Chapter 869: The 55th Division (Chapter 1 is here today)
"Hey! I heard that our new regiment commander has returned from vacation!" "I saw him just now, what's the matter? Do you want to curry favor with him? I heard that he was an officer of the 74th Army before!
And he seems to be a more brave type in combat! But I think he has been here for almost a month, and his performance is not very good? It is also average, and now he actually has a vacation before he is about to go abroad to fight.
I’m envious of going home to visit my wife and family!”
"What are you envious of? Your hometown is far away! It is still occupied by the Japanese! Do you want to go back and die? Or do you want to be a traitor?"
"What are you talking about? Who is going to die or become a traitor? Believe it or not, I will beat you up!"
"Hey! What's wrong with you two? You're having a quarrel. Do you want to be expelled from the army? Are your own people beating your own people? And if you want to commit suicide, you can talk to our new group leader in private, but you can't.
Don’t talk about it in public, this is the 200th Division, not some other miscellaneous troops, or ordinary troops, if you want to die, don’t get us involved too!”
"Yes! This is the 200th Division, and we are new here and have not been in reserve for a long time! We are not qualified to criticize others, and their homes are here, close to our military camp, so I went back to visit my wife and
My family, I don’t think it’s a big deal! And this time I go abroad to fight, who knows if I can come back alive! This is my first time going abroad to fight! I’m still quite flustered!”
"Tsk! What are you afraid of! Aren't those Japs also going abroad to fight? If that's the case, then we don't have to be afraid! Are we going to lose to those bastard Japs troops? You know, our troops have severely damaged the Japs' 5th Division.
The 21st Brigade under our jurisdiction was the one who killed the brigade commander Masao Nakamura! So what the Japanese can do, our 200th Division can also do, or even do better!"
"Okay! Everyone, go and have a good rest. Military training will continue later. If you have time to speak ill of our regiment, you might as well train your combat skills and survive on foreign battlefields! And!
Our new team leader is also very good, but I don’t know what you guys think, but you still dislike such a good team leader!"
"Well said! Look at how strict the members of other groups are. You are really blessed! If you really don't like our new members so much, I think you guys can go to other groups.
From the army, we really like the good-tempered member of the group now!"
"We just don't like him being too weak, so..."
"Bullshit! I care about the officers and soldiers under my command. You have a good temper. Why are you weak? Are you good enough for me to beat you? If you continue to disturb the morale of the army here, I will be the first to beat you and then kick you out of the army. You have no ability to survive.
I'm making irresponsible remarks here. If you have the ability, kill as many Japanese as possible. Don't let me mess up the morale of the troops. Otherwise, don't say that I, the battalion commander, don't give you face! Our new regiment leader has a good temper, but it doesn't mean that I have a good temper!
"

As soon as a small group of new recruits and some veterans transferred from other units mocked Liu Feiyang and before he could say much, some veterans and officers immediately scolded and stopped him.
Regarding this, the new recruits and a small number of veterans who were still looking down upon were left speechless.
They were even a little afraid of being kicked out of the 200th Division, an elite unit, so they kept their mouths shut and did not dare to speak ill of Liu Feiyang again.
Especially when he saw that Liu Feiyang had also arrived at the place where they were resting, he quickly fell silent.
But what they didn't know was that Liu Feiyang had already seen and heard all of this.
So he also silently remembered the officers and soldiers who said bad things about him, and planned to kick them out of his army. He had to get rid of those who caused trouble, especially those who looked down on him and wanted to disturb the morale of the army, as well as those who were very likely to do so.
Officers and soldiers who do not obey their own orders to fight.
"Cai Wenzheng! You continue to supervise their military training and come to me when the military training is over! I have something for you. The other battalion commanders and company commanders are also here. I also have something to give to you!"
As soon as he arrived at the place where his troops were resting, Liu Feiyang just glanced at the officers and soldiers who had spoken ill of him, then at the other officers and soldiers, and then said straight to the point.
"Yes! Tuanzuo!"
Upon hearing this, all the battalion commanders and company commanders of the 601st Regiment immediately agreed in unison and loudly agreed.
For these officers, they did not underestimate Liu Feiyang, and they also liked Liu Feiyang's gentle temper and caring character for his subordinates.
Of course, what they don't know is that these personalities and personas are all given to Liu Feiyang by the system.
"Okay! I won't say any empty words, nonsense, or righteous remarks. I just want you to have good military training, survive to fight abroad, and even gain some achievements, defend your home and country, and make yourself
Get a promotion!"
"I will help you fight this battle well and try to survive!"
Then, Liu Feiyang briefly expressed his personal thoughts.
Hearing this, all the officers and soldiers were silent for a moment, and some even looked at each other.
"Yes! Tuanzuo!"
Then most of the officers and soldiers responded loudly again,
The remaining officers and soldiers who didn't like Liu Feiyang were silent, even showing sarcastic smiles, watching the show.
Seeing this, Liu Feiyang once again imprinted the images of these officers and soldiers that he had memorized in his mind, preparing to ask the division commander to kick them all out of his army later.
As for the rhetoric, he needs to think about how to say it before he can be kicked out.
Because he didn't know whether Dai Anlan, the new commander of the 200th Division, would give him the authority to do this when he was about to go abroad to fight.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese army launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, triggering the outbreak of the Pacific War.
In less than a month, the Japanese troops marching south invaded and occupied the Philippines, Thailand, Malaya, Guam, Hong Kong Island, Singapore, Indonesia, the Solomon Islands, and the vast area west of Midway Island.
In the end, the Japanese invasion target was Myanmar.
He declared that he would join forces with the German army in the Middle East in an attempt to realize his dream of jointly dominating xx.
Starting from January 4, 1942, the Japanese army dispatched the 55th and 33rd divisions to prepare for launching invasion attacks from Thailand to Dawei and Mawlamyine in southern Myanmar respectively.
January 5,
Japanese 55th Division,
The commander of the 55th Division, Takeuchi Hiroshi, has just received combat instructions from the Burmese Front Army Commander Kawabe Shozo and the 15th Army Commander Iida Shojiro, asking them to reach Dawei and Moulmein as soon as possible and move there
Occupy it,
Of course, it is necessary to assist the Japanese 33rd Division Group in fighting together. Because in the first invasion operation, due to the shortage of Japanese troops, most of them were already trapped in the battlefield with the national army, so there was no way to dispatch more troops.
Many veterans and main troops went overseas to fight southward.
Therefore, we can only let these two Japanese divisions take the lead in launching the war.
"Did the two commanders say anything in the telegram? Division Commander, I think you don't look very good!"
After watching the commander of the 55th Division, Hiroshi Takeuchi, look through the telegrams from the headquarters in a very bad mood, Chief of Staff Sato Shinsuke also asked cautiously.
He was afraid that something bad would happen and anger the division commander in front of him who didn't have a very good temper, so he spoke in a relatively soft tone.
"They said that we must cooperate with the 33rd Division to capture Datwa and Mawlamyine in the hands of the British army as soon as possible, and occupy Yangon where the British army is heavily stationed as quickly as possible!"
"So I'm worried about how we can complete this overseas operation as quickly as possible. We must know that we are not very familiar with the environment here. Although our intelligence personnel have already learned about the environment and area here.
The map has been drawn, but it will also take us a certain amount of time to complete the long-distance attack mission!"
