Chapter 116: Each has its own opinions, and there are endless disputes

The county seat of Lin'an County. The headquarters of the Japanese army in the Fangjia compound. Front yard main house.

"Oh? Zong Hanjun has already read ***'s works? So you know something about ***, what do you think of him? ”

"I don't know much about ***, just a superficial and simple understanding. However, this has made me admire and admire ***. In fact, he majored in teacher training and never studied military affairs, but he wrote strategic concepts and military works to effectively resist and defeat our imperial army, which was regarded as a military classic and a magic weapon for victory by the Eighth Route Army, and was flexibly and effectively used in actual combat. This man is amazing and terrifying. ”

"yes, I feel the same way. It seems that Zong Hanjun has studied *** and his military thoughts. How much do you know about Chiang Kai-shek? He's also an opponent we can't ignore. ”

Although Chiang Kai-shek studied military affairs in Japan, his military thinking and command ability were still a little worse than those of the first class. Many years ago, in southern China, Chiang Kai-shek commanded several times the regular Kuomintang army of the Communist Red Army, carried out several large-scale encirclement and suppression, and finally did not completely eliminate the Communist Red Army, resulting in the Red Army being defeated and fleeing to Yan'an, northern Shaanxi. The fact that the Kuomintang army, which had absolute superiority in weaponry and numbers, could not defeat the Communist Red Army, which was primitive and backward in weaponry, was truly a war anecdote and incredible. In the current holy war, Chiang Kai-shek's combat confidence and determination are not as resolute. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party is the real and dangerous enemy of our Imperial Japanese Army. Nakagawa-kun, don't take it lightly. ”

"You're quite right. I have also studied the wars fought by Chiang Kai-shek, *** and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and it is true. Thank you Zong Hanjun for the reminder. I have found a strategy and tactics to effectively deal with the Eighth Route Army, that is, you just said that you should treat others the way they want to be treated. ”

"Oh? Is it? That's great. Nakagawa-kun, what are you going to do? ”

"The Eighth Route Army is good at and accustomed to guerrilla warfare, sneak attack warfare, and night warfare, fighting if it can win, running away if it can't win, constantly harassing you and consuming you. Okay, I'll do the same,-for-tat, looking for an opportunity to eliminate. ”

"Oh, that's right. Nakagawa-kun, if you want to use the tactical method of the Eighth Route Army, it will not work, I have used it, and the result is a complete failure. ”

"Oh? Why? Zong Hanjun, you and I are in different situations, you have failed, it doesn't mean that I will also fail. ”

"Nakagawa-kun, you listen to my explanation. There are conditions and foundations for the Eighth Route Army to adopt the tactical tactics of guerrilla warfare, sneak attack warfare, and night warfare, and to fight if it can win and run away if it cannot win. First of all, they are very familiar with and make full use of the terrain and features in the combat area, and they know by heart how to fight, how to hide, and how to run. Second, the Eighth Route Army had the full support and skillful cover of the broad masses of the people. This is because there are many people's husbands, sons, and brothers who are in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army. Nakagawa-kun, do we have such operational conditions and foundations? The strategy of mobilizing the masses, organizing the masses, arming the masses, and fighting the war of resistance among the whole people is too powerful. ”

"Yes, I know all of that. However, I'm going to give it a try. I want to recruit secret intelligence officers, establish an intelligence network, and then organize night raid squads and plainclothes squads to cooperate with the detective squads to go out day and night, and move around in order to rule China with China. I believe that as long as money and materials are given and big cigarettes are given to women, there must be Chinese who are willing to do it. ”

"That's right. That's what I did, but I failed. I hope Nakagawa-kun can succeed.

"Zong Hanjun, your current mood is a little pessimistic. Defeat is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of confidence and determination in victory. I believe that victory can be achieved with proper organization, correct command, and careful care. ”

"I hope, I hope. Nakagawa-kun, do you want to take a break at noon? ”

"No breaks. Zong Hanjun, it's not easy for us to meet, and I have to talk to you again. Come on, let's sit down and talk. ”

Eiichi Nakagawa and Ichiro Sohan walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Zong Hanjun, how much do you know about the Eighth Route Army in the western Hebei region? Can you tell me about it? ”

"Yes. I'll tell you everything I know. Zhongchuan Jun, the Eighth Route Army in the western Hebei region was mainly composed of local people. The people who have lived in the western Hebei region for generations have been fierce since ancient times, advocating martial arts, profound martial arts, competitive and fierce. Such an army is very difficult to deal with. Nakagawa-kun, you have been in the western Hebei region for a while, what do you know? ”

"I know a little bit, but it's not comprehensive enough. The Eighth Route Army is very cunning and good at exploiting the loopholes of our imperial army. They were active, harassing the garrison and running rampant in the villages. As soon as we sent our troops, they scattered like a hammer on cotton, and as soon as we withdrew our troops, they gathered together again, and went back and forth, so that you could not rest at all. What gave me the most headache and annoyance was that the Eighth Route Army, which fought against our Imperial Japanese Army, did not have any regular and conventional tactics, and they could not be found in military textbooks or in previous combat examples. The tactics of the Eighth Route Army changed one time at a time, one law at a time, and there were many changes, making it difficult for you to find and find out their laws, which were completely different from the regular army of the Kuomintang. ”

"Yes, I feel the same way. Nakagawa-kun, the Communist army and the Kuomintang army are all composed of Chinese, I don't know why there is such a big difference between them? ”

"Zong Hanjun, how much do you know about the Kuomintang and the Communist Party? Do you feel anything? ’

"I know a little about it, and I feel it. I'll talk about the facts that Nakagawa-kun should also know. Over the years in China, we have had a lot of contact with the Kuomintang and few Communists, and we have not captured many Kuomintang and Communists. However, there were many Kuomintang who defected and surrendered to cooperate with the Imperial Army, but very few Communists. Nakagawa-kun, do you think that's the case? ”

Nakagawa thought for a moment and said, "Yes, that's true. Zong Hanjun, the Chinese who cooperated with the imperial army, whether they were Kuomintang or Communist Party, could not be said to have surrendered by defection, but should be said to have known the times and were good at changing their own destiny and future. Isn't this very good for our Imperial Japanese and Imperial Army, and for the Great East Asian Holy War? ”

"Isn't that good? Nakagawa-kun, do you really think so? We, the Yamato nation and the imperial soldiers, despise the most are those who do not hesitate to betray all defections and surrender for the sake of their lives, and those who would rather die than give in and generously go to righteousness make us respect. There are many such people in the Communist Party. Those Chinese who are greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy and shameless, in order to save their lives and greedy for money, they can betray their parents, brothers and sisters, they can betray the motherland, sell their accomplices and national interests, how can such people be sincerely loyal to the empire and the imperial army? They could betray the Imperial Army at any time. Let me tell you something, there was a platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army who was wounded and captured in order to save a 5-year-old girl, and if he didn't save this girl, we wouldn't have been able to catch him at all. And this girl's father is an agent of our imperial army who has been lurking in Xuzhou City for many years under the cover of business. I persuaded the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army to surrender many times, but he was unyielding and would rather die than surrender. Before I shot him, I told him that the Japanese girl he rescued was a sleeper agent of the Imperial Army, and asked him if he regretted it. The platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army said to me firmly and comfortingly: I have no regrets, because the child is pure and innocent, has nothing to do with her father's criminal acts in China, and is proud to be able to save a Japanese girl. I was very moved to see his expression and listen to his tone. Aren't such nations and soldiers worthy of our respect? Later, I told the girl's father about it, and he burst into tears when he heard it, and I don't know if he was moved or ashamed. On the other hand, after our imperial army entered Qingdao, Shandong, it gouged out the eyes and disemboweled the Chinese baby who was several months old, and the officers and men of our imperial army even dug out the baby's liver and cooked it and ate it. In addition, after Liu Yaomei, director of the Women's Rescue Association in Luoyu Village, Fuping County, Hebei Province, was captured and executed by our imperial army, she cut off the meat on her thighs, chopped up dumplings and ate them. The Nanjing Campaign and the Jinan Campaign are known to you what our imperial army did, so I won't talk about it. These things are unheard of in the history of world warfare. The divine might and force of our Imperial Japanese Army should be used on the battlefield, not here. Nakagawa-kun, is this the land of coexistence, co-prosperity, and royal paradise that our Japanese Empire and Imperial Army want to establish in China? ”
