Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 382 French Concession

In the Japanese division organization, the 1st Division is also known as the Guards Division. It has always stayed in Tokyo. It can be said to be the most elite unit in the entire army. The soldiers selected to protect His Majesty the Emperor are all the most elite soldiers in the army.

From the 2nd Division to the 19th Division are all permanent divisions. Their organization is also the largest, divided into four regiments, including two infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, and one artillery regiment. If needed during wartime, a baggage regiment can be added.

From the 24th Division onwards, they were basically some temporarily added troops. They were all formed after the outbreak of the war. No matter in terms of training ability or combat ability on the battlefield, they were not as good as the previous divisions. Moreover, their organization began to shrink. Some had three companies, and some even had two companies. This was all possible. After all, didn't the Japanese devils run out of troops in the later stages of the war?

The 11th Division is quite far away from the Luodian area. If it wants to march directly there, it will take about three hours.

After all, they only had eight hours to attack. If they wasted three hours on the road, it would be very disadvantageous for the entire operation. However, General Ogasawara already had his own ideas. As long as they passed through the International Settlement, the distance would be shorter. It would only take more than an hour, which was nearly 2/3 shorter than before. It was also very good for the soldiers' physical strength. In the past, he did not have the courage to pass through the International Settlement directly, but now it is different. Soon the whole of China will belong to our Great Japanese Empire. If you Westerners give me face, I can let you stay here. If you don't give me face, I will wipe you out.

In fact, these Westerners had already begun to change when the war broke out. Although they were not very nice to the Japanese, they were still somewhat afraid of the Japanese in their hearts. This is bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

When the Japanese devils were causing trouble in North China, the consuls in the French Concession were still indifferent to the Japanese. But now the situation has changed, and the consuls in the French Concession are eager to curry favor with them.

The troops of the 1945th Division drove in without informing the French Concession government at all. This had never happened in the original history. In the original history, the Japanese kept this isolated island until . This was mainly because the Japanese had robbed a large amount of French currency and they needed a window to exchange the money for physical objects, so they kept the French Concession.

There were also some patrolmen at the border, but when they saw the murderous Japanese army, they immediately shut up and did not say anything. If they went out at this time, they would definitely be killed by these Japanese. They were now blood-thirsty. They had seen the situation on the battlefield yesterday in the Luodian area. They could see it directly from here. The thousands of Japanese devils there were all killed. If you go out and say something too much at this time, the Japanese devils will definitely shoot you. They don't care whether you are French or not.

"Brother, these Japanese devils are too arrogant. Should we report to the consul? They may retreat because of the relationship with France." Among the patrolmen, except for a few French, most of them are Chinese. The reason why they have not been affected by the war is because of the French Concession. Now the Japanese devils have directly broken into the French Concession, which makes these patrolmen feel a little scared.

Originally, they thought that under the protection of the French, at least the concession was safe. After all, France was a European power, and it defeated the Germans in the First World War and reached its peak. No matter how powerful the Japanese were, they had only developed in recent years. When facing these old capitalist empires, they should have seemed insecure. However, today's situation was beyond their expectations.

"I say, are you out of your mind, kid? Haven't you seen that in recent times, neither the French nor the British dared to confront the Japanese devils head-on? I have also seen that these people are very stubborn when facing people like us. They really don't have the courage to face the Japanese!" The patrol captain took a puff of his cigarette and said. In fact, he had no choice. If there was a way, how could he let the Japanese pass by? Although he didn't know what the Japanese were going to do, even if he went to pay his respects, you couldn't let him pass by. As long as it is something that can make life difficult for the Japanese devils, we Chinese men should do it. But looking at the dozen guns under his command and the tens of thousands of troops just now, there is really no need to go out and sacrifice.

"I was told that recently, some French people have actually started inviting Japanese people to dinner. In the past, they also looked down on the Japanese." The patrolman also discovered something was wrong.

"It seems that the French Concession is no longer safe in the future. We still have to find a way out for us." The captain also thought about the future path for their group.

Because crossing the French Concession did not cause any widespread publicity, there was no news from the Chinese army.

The Japanese quickly reached the front attack position, but what surprised them was that it was not night at all. At a glance, they could see everything on the front position clearly. It was just like daytime.

The entire area is only about two square kilometers in size, but there are dozens of brighter searchlights, and there are always more than five or six flares in the sky, so that everything on the ground can be seen clearly. The night attack team that the Japanese devils are best at did not dare to attack at this time. What we want is the cover of darkness, but now it has become light. Wouldn't it be suicide to go up directly?

Look at the densely deployed machine guns on the enemy's position, with artillery behind them and a strong flow of personnel. From here you can see that many people are still awake. If you dare to attack at this time, you will be torn to pieces by the enemy's machine guns. General Ogasawara subconsciously realized that this was not a good time to attack.
