    This Utsunomiya Taro (Registered member of Piaotian Literature recommends this work.) is a native of Saga Prefecture, a Japanese intelligence giant, and one of the three Tar¨­s of the Army during the Meiji period.  The future founder of the Saga Left Shoulder Valve.  In the past life and the future, the so-called Emperor Dao faction in the Japanese army were all his disciples and disciples.

    This guy is the fourth son of Saga Domain lord Kamekawa Teiichi and the adopted son of Saga Domain lord Utsunomiya Jubei. He entered the Army Infant School in April 1879.  In August 1882, he entered the 7th period of the Army's old army, and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant in the Army on June 18, 1885.

    ? Served successively as an affiliate of the 5th Infantry Regiment and the 4th Infantry Guards Regiment. On December 23, 1890, he graduated from the 6th phase of the Army University with honors.

    ?????????????????????????????????Don't underestimate the so-called "department attached" of the Japanese army. During wartime, when decentralized to the army, they can often directly command cadres at the division commander level!  After that, he went on a business trip to India, and was a member of the Second Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters. During the Sino-Japanese War, he served as the Army Staff Officer of the Base Camp, a member of the Third Department of the General Staff Headquarters, Attach¨¦ to the British Embassy, ??Attachment to the Swedish Embassy, ??Officer to the Mainland China, and Captain of the 1st Infantry Regiment.  First Minister of the General Staff Headquarters.

    Promoted to Army Major General on January 28, 1909.  The second director of the General Staff Headquarters, the commander of the 7th Division, the commander of the 4th Division, and the commander of the Korean Army.  In terms of qualifications, he is no worse than Shibagoro, the commander of the 12th Division!

    As for the Seventh Division, his successor, Fujii Yukitsuki, was even less impressive than his predecessor. He was quite good at ruling and maintaining law and order in the occupied areas when he was the commander of the Korean Army, and he was very close to the Japanese Army Chief of Staff.  Uehara Yusaku's relationship was very good, so he was appointed as the commander of the Western Siberian Expeditionary Force.

    That's why he did not mobilize his own Fourth Division stationed in North Korea, but continued to mobilize the Seventh Division stationed in Kanto Prefecture. In addition to Utsunomiya Taro, who was the former commander of the Seventh Division, another important  The reason is to reduce the garrison of troops in Kanto State, release goodwill to China, and show that now is the time for China and Japan to join hands in creating a new atmosphere in Asia!

    In this way, the Japanese Army finally formed an expeditionary corps. Shibagoro, the commander of the 12th Division, was the oldest and most senior. Unfortunately, this guy had never been to the mainland, and he was from the Aizu Domain, the mortal enemy of the Choshu Domain.  Even though this guy was the first to be promoted to major general and was promoted to army major general in 1907, he still missed the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Forces.

    Of course, the superior strength of the 12th Division, supported by naval guns, actually caused one-third of the casualties in the attack on Vladivostok, which was also an important reason why Shibagoro did not become the commander.

    The commander of the Third Division, Jiro Oba, is from Yamaguchi Prefecture. He is the master of Yamaguchi Aritomo and his family who sent troops to Western Siberia to get a share of the pie. This is the Choshu feudal lord Oba.  The eldest son of this family entered the Army Infantry School in April 1880, and entered the 8th period of the Army in June 1883. On June 25, 1886, he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant in the Army and was attached to the 3rd Infantry Regiment.

    Graduated from the 8th class of Army University (with honors) on December 2, 1892, one class lower than Utsunomiya. He successively served as an official in the General Staff Headquarters, adjutant of the Military Station Directorate, and first bureau member of the General Staff Headquarters. He went to study in Germany (1895-1900)  , instructor of Lu University, member of the General Staff Headquarters, adjutant of Marshal Youpeng of Shan County, and staff officer of the base camp.

    During the Russo-Japanese War, he served as deputy chief of staff of the 3rd Army and commanded the Battle of Lushun.  Chief of staff of the 2nd Reserve Division, captain of the 2nd Guards Infantry Regiment, and principal of the Army Toyama School.  Promoted to Army Major General on November 30, 1910.

    He then served as principal of the Army Infantry School, commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade, attached to the General Staff Headquarters (Tsarist Russia's combat attach¨¦ in World War I), and commander of the 3rd Division. The term "spectating attach¨¦" became history after the end of the European War, but after one  It was a fashionable errand in wartime.

    The commander of the 3rd Division, Jiro Oba, and the commander of the 7th Division, Fujii Yukitsuchi, are both classmates who graduated from the 8th batch of the University of China, but Oba has a better background. He is a former Prime Minister, a big boss in Japanese politics and the founder of the Japanese Army.  A direct descendant of Aritomo Yamagata, known as the father of the Japanese Army.

    In Wang Geng's opinion, the names of the division commanders of Japan's Western Siberian Expeditionary Force are quite interesting. Taro Utsunomiya, who was in the 7th period of the old period of the mainland, led Jiro Oba, who was in the 8th period of the old period of the mainland.  There is the unpopular Shibagoro, and Fujii Yukitsuchi is the third eldest child in the family.

    Isn¡¯t that great? Ryuko Taro can take Erlang, Sanlang and Wulang to the west to play Dragon Quest!

    Three divisions, three major factions. Commander Utsunomiya and the 7th Division belong to the direct lineage of Army Chief of Staff Yusaku Uehara. The 3rd Division Jiro Oba is the direct lineage of the father of the Japanese Army, former Prime Minister and Field Marshal Yamagata Aritomo.  , the most disliked Shibagoro of the 12th Division was the favorite of Emperor Meiji.

    Since the Chinese Participating Army has just taken control of the Trans-Siberian Railway from Irkutsk to Vladivostok, the entire railway transportation is very busy. It has to ensure the arms supply and logistical military supplies of the Chinese Participating Army with 120,000 people in four divisions.  The train stopped to transport relief rations, so the train wagons were quite tight.

    China ParticipationThe number of wagons arranged by the army in the first phase was only enough to transport one division. The last three division commanders were rushing to take the lead in expanding the empire's territory and establishing unparalleled achievements. After a long dispute, the third division commander was defeated.  Oba Jiro of the division seized the opportunity to take the lead in the dispatched troops.

    Don¡¯t underestimate the pressure that transporting a division¡¯s troops and weapons and equipment brings to railway transportation. In this season of 1918, a general steam locomotive could carry 60 carriages, with a total load of about 3,000 tons, and one iron carriage could carry at most  It only holds a squadron of 180 troops.

    In addition to the artillery, vehicles, ammunition, tents, logistics supplies, etc., the Third Division has four infantry regiments, a field artillery regiment, an engineer regiment, and a cavalry regiment plus logistics and baggage troops, and the entire division has more than 25,000 people.  Nearly 200 trucks and countless mules and horses are enough to load nearly ten heavy-lift troop transport trains.

    The march route of the West Siberian Expeditionary Force chose to take the South Manchuria Railway-Middle East Railway-Manzhouli Exit-Borja-Chita-Ulan-Ude, Irkutsk until the border of Irkutsk where Sun Liangcheng was stationed.  Shet.

    It is said that soldiers are very fast. In later generations, it only took 7 days and 7 nights to cover the entire 9,937 kilometers of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Now, the Japanese Third Division, as the vanguard of the dispatched army, set out from Dalian and covered the entire 3,500 kilometers in 3 days and 3 nights.  They also arrived at Tashet without any danger.

    This may be the first time a Japanese division has gone abroad to defend the honor of the Imperial Army. This third division is also called the Nagoya Division. It was organized in Nagoya. In the previous life, it sent troops to Siberia to rescue the Czech Army.  It is not a bad idea to fight against the Soviet Red Army. It can be called the Japanese Army's ace first-class division.

    It's just that these guys from Nagoya rarely take long-distance trains. After crossing several time zones, they are still jet-lagged. Although the journey only lasted three days and three nights, they could wait for the dispatch in a camp south of Tashet Station.  The army camp was set up to treat the sick and wounded and revive morale. It took another three days before they officially crossed the border of Irkutsk and entered Western Siberia.

    Looking back, two weeks after the Chinese combatants crossed into Siberia, they took control of all towns, strongholds, fortresses and stations along the 4,700-kilometer Trans-Siberian Railway from Tashet on the border of Irkutsk in the east of Lake Baikal to Vladivostok in the Far East.

    This caused a huge sensation all over the world. Major cities in northern China held huge celebration parades. Duan Qirui's government and the Chinese participating army became the well-deserved national heroes, the pillars of the country. The propaganda and news front controlled by Xu Shuzheng focused on publicity.  The Chinese participating armies recovered all the territory lost since the Treaty of Nerchinsk between China and Russia in 1689.

    And downplaying the fact that China even occupied the wider towns and land along the railway from Nerchinsk to Irkutsk. The Chinese have not enjoyed this kind of proud mood in front of the world and the great powers for many years. In 1918  At this moment in March, the reputation of Duan Qirui's government once again reached its peak, and the records and achievements of China's participating troops have become the hottest topic among the Chinese people.

    The recruitment efficiency of the Chinese Participating Army increased significantly in March, setting off an upsurge across the country to join the army to serve the country and defend the border. Countless young people rushed to the recruitment points of the Chinese Participating Army to apply to join this mighty and majestic civilization.  teacher.

    The unexpected and brilliant achievements of the Chinese participating armies also made the Allied Powers such as the United States, Britain, and France begin to face up to the question of whether it is still necessary to negotiate peace with the Soviet Russian government, and whether to rely on the ground forces of China and Japan to directly bring the new Soviet regime to Russia.  Pushing forward into the Baltic Sea and breaking up the entire Russia into a number of independent small and medium-sized countries would do more harm than good to the Allies and world geopolitics, or would it do more harm than good?

    You must know that although the Allied Powers used the rebellion launched by the Czech Army to cause the Siberian Provisional Self-Government to take the opportunity to take over Kazan, there was no doubt whether the White Guards in the initial stage led by Kolchak could win and were deceived by the "Agrarian Decree"  and the armed Red Army did not have much confidence.

    The current performance of the Chinese Army and the level of input of the Japanese army have made the Allies begin to think about whether it is still necessary for the huge Soviet Russia to tolerate its existence?  Of course, Deao's matter is not over at all!
