Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 483: The Arrogant Matsui Iwane Devil Division

Huang Guangtai unconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes revealing deep helplessness and anger. He tried his best to control his emotions and avoid showing too much resistance in front of the arrogant Matsui Iwane.

He knew that under the current situation, he had to rely on the Bay Island Corps under Matsui Iwane to change the situation in the Bay West region.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried his best to make his voice sound calm.

"Commander Matsui, the situation is much more serious than we thought. The northern bandits are very aggressive and our army is under great pressure. The situation has reached a critical point where we cannot afford to lose time. I hope the commander can mobilize reinforcements as soon as possible to change the situation in the Wanxi area as soon as possible."

Matsui Iwane listened to Huang Guangtai's words and smiled softly. His eyes were full of disdain and arrogance, as if in his eyes, Huang Guangtai's worries and anxieties were nothing but insignificant trifles.

"President Huang, your Southern Government may have overestimated the strength of Su Zhengyang's army. But in my opinion, although they are brave, they are not unmatched. You may not know that my Liuwan Corps was once known as the Hell Corps of Southeast Asia, and my Fuso 18th Division is even known as the Devil's Division."

He paused, his eyes revealing a deep pride and pride.

"My troops have experienced many large-scale battles such as the Falklands War, the Nicaea War, and the Cotton War. They are world-class in terms of combat effectiveness and combat experience. My soldiers are warriors who have walked out of hell. Their combat effectiveness is not comparable to those of your southern army. In addition, we have world-class sophisticated equipment, so it is easy to drive the Chinese troops out of Liuwan."

Huang Guangtai was somewhat worried about Matsui Iwane's arrogance.

The contempt and ridicule for the southern government troops in Matsui Iwane's words were like sharp needles that pierced Huang Guangtai's heart mercilessly. He felt that his dignity was repeatedly trampled on, his face flushed, and his clenched hands trembled slightly, that was anger and humiliation intertwined in his heart.

Huang Guangtai took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

He raised his head, looked directly into Matsui Iwane's eyes, and reminded him, "Commander Matsui, you may have forgotten that your Fuso's Kwantung Army, once known as the most elite army in Asia, with a total of 600,000 troops, was eventually destroyed by Su Zhengyang. This is enough to prove that the northern bandits' troops are not as easy to defeat as you said."

Huang Guangtai spoke slowly and forcefully, with every word full of power. He continued, "Not only are the northern bandits' troops strong in combat, their equipment has also long reached world-class standards. With the support of the Peace Company, their military technology is advancing with each passing day. If you become too complacent because of past victories, you may suffer a great loss. Please stay sober and calm, and face our enemies squarely."

Matsui Iwane frowned slightly as he listened to Huang Guangtai's words. He obviously didn't like being reminded and warned like this, but Huang Guangtai's words also forced him to re-examine the situation. He was silent for a moment, then said: "President Huang, I will remember your reminder. But please believe that my troops have rich combat experience and excellent equipment. I am confident that I can defeat any enemy."

"President Huang, since we have officially reached an agreement, let's end this meeting here." Matsui Iwane stood up, straightened his military uniform, and still maintained his superior attitude.

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes revealing a kind of contempt and disdain, as if he was looking down at Huang Guangtai. "I will rush back to Wannan as soon as possible, and at the same time order my troops to go to Wanxi to support your army. I believe that President Huang can see the invincibility and invincibility of my troops in this war!"

As he spoke, a smug smile appeared on Matsui Iwane's face, as if he had already seen his troops slaughtering everyone on the battlefield.

Huang Guangtai sat in his original position and did not stand up to see him off. He watched Matsui Iwane's back as he left, and a complex emotion flashed through his eyes. His back was stretched out in the sun, as if mocking the weakness of the Southern Government.

Huang Guangtai's body trembled slightly unconsciously, a feeling of humiliation rising from deep in his heart. He gritted his teeth and tried to control his emotions, not letting anger and humiliation cloud his mind.

"President, this Japanese devil is so arrogant that he doesn't even take the troops from Northern Xinjiang seriously. His words are full of ridicule and belittlement of us. It's really too much." Huang Guangtai's confidant Chen Shouren stood beside him with an angry expression on his face. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Matsui Iwane's attitude.

Huang Guangtai shook his head, his eyes were deep and complicated, as if he was thinking about something. "Matsui Iwane has his own capital to be proud of. The Wandao Corps he led was formerly the Fuso Southern Military District's Guwu Corps, which was known for its fierce fighting power and fierce combat. The Fuso people themselves called them lunatics from hell. During Fuso's invasion of major Southeast Asian countries, they never lost a single battle."

Matsui Iwane, the best officer in the Fuso Army, was arrogant and conceited, as if the whole world was under his control. He was cruel and bloodthirsty, which made people shudder. However, it was such a person who emerged in the Fuso Army and became an outstanding commander.

Matsui Iwane graduated from the Fuso Imperial Army Academy. His academic background and military accomplishments were first-rate. As a senior commander from an academic school, he should have followed the rules of the battlefield, fought steadily, and won by wits. However, he chose another path and trained his troops into a group of lunatics who were completely brainwashed by militarism.

Under his leadership, the 18th Division became a feared unit. Not only were they extremely powerful, but they were also extremely brutal. These soldiers, trained by Matsui Iwane himself, seemed to have lost their humanity, only knowing how to obey orders and slaughter the enemy.

Their behavior was outrageous, but it became more and more serious with the tacit approval and even encouragement of Matsui Iwane.

In 1921, the Falkland Islands Massacre that shocked the world was a crime committed by Matsui Iwane and the 18th Division. At that time, they defeated the -man Homeland Defense Corps stationed on the Falkland Islands with only troops. The victory of this battle was undoubtedly astonishing, but what was even more shocking was the massacre that followed.

Matsui Iwane ordered an indiscriminate massacre of civilians and prisoners on the island. For a time, the entire island was shrouded in blood and fire. This brutal massacre shocked the world and made Matsui Iwane's name synonymous with brutality and bloodthirstiness.

In 1923, Matsui Iwane led his troops again as a support force and set foot on the land of Cotton Country. This time, their target was Changqing City. Matsui Iwane's 20 troops were far inferior in number to the government troops in Cotton Country and the anti-Fuso coalition forces united by several nearby small countries. However, under Matsui Iwane's command, they showed amazing combat effectiveness.

After the war broke out, Matsui Iwane's troops quickly defeated the enemy with strict military discipline and excellent tactical qualities. They showed a ruthless side on the battlefield, treating prisoners and civilians without mercy. They had fun by torturing prisoners and wantonly slaughtering civilians. Whenever night fell, screams and cries could be heard from the streets and alleys of Changqing City, which was chilling.

As the war progressed, Matsui Iwane's troops became notorious throughout Southeast Asia. Their cruel behavior frightened people and made them hide away. However, Matsui Iwane seemed to be unconcerned about it. He enjoyed the pleasure of controlling life and death and continued to command his troops to wreak havoc on the land of Southeast Asia.

During the six years of invading Southeast Asia, Matsui Iwane carried out four massacres.

According to statistics, more than 300,000 prisoners and civilians died at the hands of Matsui Iwane. This number is shocking, representing the loss of many lives in the ravages of war. However, Matsui Iwane, the brutal executioner, is still at large and continues to wreak havoc on the land of Southeast Asia.

Even his brutal behavior was fanatically worshipped by some militarists in Fuso, which made Matsui Iwane's position in the Fuso Army rise rapidly, from the commander of the 18th Division to the current commander-in-chief of the Bay Island Corps.
