These people in the photo are all devils, and they are the top elites in the Ghost Soldiers. Specifically, they correspond to a special force invested by the Japanese army during the Changsha campaign, code-named "Mainland Advance Team".
After the Japanese army invaded Changsha, the headquarters of the "Mainland Advance Team" was located in Changsha, and the organizational system was retained until Japan was defeated and surrendered. The above two photos are "the mainland advances"
"The team in Changsha city barracks. Not only is it exactly the same as the barracks of China army, but even the guns and articles hanging on the beds and walls are exactly the same as those of China army. This Japanese soldier sleeps in a grass shop all the year round and wears it all the year round.
They are patched rags and covered with lice because they haven't bathed for years.
The purpose is not to be recognized as Japanese when infiltrating. Other Japanese troops in Changsha called them "special prisoners of war".
In the battle of Changsha, the formation of the "continental advance team" invested by the Japanese army into squadrons was the key fangs that played an important role in a series of battles in which the Japanese army captured Changsha. Yang, an anti-Japanese veteran who participated in the Changsha Battle, recalled the battle scene that was raided by this Japanese special force.
while
In 2006, Yang was still a recruit who had just joined the army for one year. His troops are responsible for guarding a pontoon bridge in the south of Changsha. This pontoon bridge is one of the important passages for China soldiers and civilians to retreat when the war is unfavorable, because at that time,
During the war, the garrison did not retreat. It is a large number of Changsha people who evacuated to the city through this pontoon bridge. Yang is on the south bank of the pontoon bridge. At noon, machine guns rang out in front of the North Shore position. Yang heard it.
The shooter hurriedly poked his head out of the bunker and looked north, only to see an incredible scene.
A man with glasses and a blue robe, like a teacher,
Holding a "Czech" machine gun in his hand, he stood on the pontoon bridge on the bank of the river and fired at the defenders in the north bank position from behind. Dozens of China people dressed up, under its cover, rushed to the north shore position from the front.
Defender. I didn't expect to pretend to be a group of refugees. The troops on the north shore did not respond at all. Before the people on the south bank had time to reinforce, the position on the north bank of the pontoon bridge was captured by the Japanese army and then rushed up.
Blow up the pontoon bridge. The Japanese army that suddenly attacked Yang's troops was the "mainland advance team" of the Japanese army mentioned earlier.
In addition to fighting the national army on the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army also used many special forces similar to the "mainland advance team" to fight the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield behind enemy lines, and the Japanese army also used many special forces. One of the most famous,
It was the "Ziyi Advance Team" that launched a sudden attack on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, corresponding to the above picture. Yamamoto Mu Yi's "Soul of Yamato" in "Bright Sword" is based on this "Yoshiko Advance Team".
The specific name of "Ziyi Advance Team" is the 9 th Squadron of the 223rd Infantry Wing of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army. Because its lieutenant squadron leader's name is Ziyi Chongxiong, it is also called Ziyi Chongxiong.
Yoshiko is on the team. The total number of its members is 124, including the spy pile composed of Cao Changhe 18, a spy belonging to the Japanese gendarmerie, with 106 Japanese as the main force.
In the army, four officers are commandant-level officers, and the rest 102 are all non-commissioned officers, which shows their elite level.
The "Ziyi Advance Team" is composed of elite selected by Yoshio Iwamatsu, commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, from the 36th Division under his jurisdiction. At that time, two such special forces were formed, one was
"Ziyi Advance Team", and the other team is "Dachuan Advance Team". The former aims at raiding the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, while the latter aims at raiding the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army 129 Division.
The tactics adopted by "Ziyi Advance Team" are to pretend to be the Eighth Route Army, go deep into the hinterland of Taihang Mountain to find the location of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and then call the plane with the radio station it carries, and stall the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army by means of aerial bombing and ground raid to create time for its large ground troops to camp. So as to give the eighth route army headquarters
This institution has caused great losses. Because there were many non-combatants in the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army at that time, while being raided by the "Ziyi Advance Team" on the ground, the key point was that it was also bombed many times by the 29th Independent Flying Team of the Japanese Army convened by it. Although the Japanese ground troops jumped out of the encirclement before they formed the encirclement, they suffered heavy casualties because of the slow transfer speed. General Zuo Quan, then chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, was airdropped by Japanese planes in this battle.
The bomb hit the martyr. At that time, Kim Byung-won, chairman of the Korean Independence League at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, was killed by the Japanese short gun. In addition, the Eighth Route Army headquarters has nearly 300 cadres and soldiers and "Yoshiko".
The advancing team died in the direct exchange of fire. 100 More than one government official, mainly non-combatants, was captured in the battle.
The "Ziyi Advance Team" also paid a heavy price. On its way out, it was surrounded by more than 2,000 gold Sui Jun troops. Although it was finally able to break through with the help of its large troops, this elite Japanese special team was basically disabled in the first war after its formation. Later, the Eighth Route Army retaliated against the remaining "Ziyi Advance Team" and was attacked by the Eighth Route Army special forces at a celebration banquet.
Almost all the remaining members were killed in the attack. Yoshiko Maoxiong, the squadron leader of the "Yoshiko Advance Team", was lucky not to die in the battlefield in China.
Probably because of injury, after the collapse of the special team he commanded, he was transferred to New Guinea Islands in the Pacific Ocean as a division staff officer and no longer commanded the first-line troops. Later, he returned to China after Japan's defeat and surrender.
In 2007, the 99-year-old guy also participated in the activities of evoking the souls of the Japanese army in World War II. I don't know if he is dead now.
From a tactical point of view, the "Ziyi advance team" can obviously be regarded as a special force, and the special combat mode it adopts.
The tactics are quite high.
Judging from the tactics adopted, the "Ziyi Advance Team" is completely disguised as the Eighth Route Army in clothing, and its weapons and equipment are also owned by the Eighth Route Army.
It is equipped with Japanese weapons, such as 38 rifles and grenade launchers which are also heavily equipped by the Eighth Route Army, and China's standing weapons, such as "Speed Machine" and "Czech Type". As can be seen from the weapons and equipment, "Yoshiko attacked.
Although the Japanese troops in the team are all top elites, their weapons and equipment are not too advanced.
