Chapter 127 Inheritance and Development of Grandchildren

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

"Zong Hanjun, do you want me to openly disobey General Murayama's orders? This is going to be court-martialed. I am an Imperial soldier and must obey orders absolutely. ”

"Zhongchuan-kun, you can send troops, but don't do it with real guns, put a few shots, bomb a few runs, put on a show and then withdraw the troops back to the city, and secretly reach a tacit understanding with the Eighth Route Army, form a state of truce, wait for the end of the war, and don't let our young soldiers go to death in vain."

"Report." Captain Nakagawa Jihe (Zhao Jihe) walked in.

"Zong Hanjun, look at who this is? Do you still recognize him? ”

Zong Hanichiro raised his head, looked carefully at Zhao Jihe, who was dressed in military uniform in front of him, and said:

"He? Isn't he Ji Hejun? The last time I saw him, it was in the sixth year of Showa, at the wedding of his and your cousin, Miss Masako. Sohan Ichiro turned to be surprised and asked, "What?" You've joined the Imperial Army? Are you also participating in the Holy War? This is your country!"

Nakagawa Jihe (Zhao Jihe) bowed and saluted Zong Hanichiro, smiled awkwardly and said:

"You, you are Zong Hanjun, ah, I haven't seen you for many years, please take care of me."

Eiichi Nakagawa picked up the battle plan on the coffee table and said:

"Ji Hejun, this is the battle plan, you take it to prepare the food, ammunition and all the materials needed for the battle."

"Hi. Execute it now. Zhongchuan Jihe (Zhao Jihe) took the battle plan with both hands and turned to leave.

Zong Han Ichiro looked at the back of Zhongchuan Jihe (Zhao Jihe) walking out of the main room and asked puzzledly:

"Zhongchuan-kun, how can you hand over such an important matter to Jihe-kun to deal with? Although he is your brother-in-law, he is Chinese after all, aren't you afraid that he will secretly fornicate with the Communist Eighth Route Army? It's dangerous. “

"No, Ji Hejun will never do this, don't forget, his wife and two children are in Tokyo, he doesn't dare. Zong Hanjun, just now you said that there is another very important thing to entrust me to do, what is it? Please say it. Nakagawa will definitely do his best. ”

Sohan Ichiro took out a photo from the pocket of his military jacket and handed it to Eiichi Nakagawa.

"A few months ago, I received a letter from home, in which my wife said that my mother and her four children had been living in Nagasaki in a very difficult and poor life, and in order to atone for the sins of the Sohan family, in order to reduce the burden on the family, and to be able to get a consolation money, our eldest daughter Hanako, who had just turned 18, volunteered to join the imperial condolence group with dozens of girls and came to China. Nakagawa-kun, you know, the girls in the condolence group are actually comfort women. How can I, as a father, bear to let my daughter, who is like a flower, be a comfort woman, and let others rape and ravage rudely? Hanako wrote to my wife that she had now arrived in the Baoding area of northern China. I've asked a few old friends to help me find it, and I'm earnestly asking Nakagawa-kun to help me find it. Alas! I can't figure out why Japanese girls have to be sacrificed in order to support the jihad and boost morale? In fact, it is completely possible to requisition Taiwanese and Korean girls to come to China to comfort the imperial officers and soldiers, and it is also possible to recruit local young women as comfort women in the Chinese areas occupied by the imperial army. ”

Eiichi Nakagawa stared at Hanako's picture in surprise and opened his mouth.

Seeing Nakagawa Eiichi's strange appearance, Sohan Ichiro asked puzzled:

"Nakagawa-kun, what's wrong with you? You look surprised, huh? ”

At this moment, Nakagawa Eiichi never imagined that the person who Sohan Ichiro asked for his help to find turned out to be the granddaughter of his mentor, the daughter of a friend and classmate for many years. And Hanichiro's daughter, Hanako, was in her bedroom in the middle courtyard at this time. Eiichi Nakagawa's heart was flustered. He dodged his gaze and said with all his might:

"Huh? Oh, yes, Miss Hanako is so beautiful, so pure and lovely, but it's a pity, it's a pity, and I'm very surprised by this. Please rest assured, Zong Hanjun, I will do my best to find your daughter and send someone to escort her back to Japan and back to you. ”

Sohan Ichiro stood up, turned around and bowed to Nakagawa Eiichi and said:

"Thank you, Nakagawa-kun, please, please."

Nakagawa Eiichi waved his hand to Ichiro Sohan and said hypocritically:

"Sit down, sit down. Zong Hanjun, you and I don't have to be polite, your daughter is my daughter, and I will do my best to help you find Miss Hanako. However, you should not be in too much of a hurry, it takes time to find someone. You're leaving China and heading back to Japan, so stay with me for a few more days. ”

Zong Hanichiro sighed heavily and said with emotion:

"Yes, I'm leaving, maybe I'll never have a chance to come back, and I'm really a little nostalgic and reluctant. After so many years of coming to China to participate in the holy war, I have become more and more fond of Great China and its simple and loyal people, but I despise and dislike the cruel war and bloody killings.

"Zong Hanjun, a lot of what you said today can only be said to me here, and you must not say half a sentence to anyone anywhere else, especially after returning to Japan, to avoid disasters."

"Yes, yes. Thank you Nakagawa Jundi for reminding me of the advice, I know the importance of proportion, and I don't dare to talk nonsense. ”

"Zong Hanjun, you will be leaving in a month, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet again and talk in detail. Therefore, I would like to ask you again, based on your many years of experience in fighting with the Eighth Route Army, to teach me some effective tactics and tactics for defeating and destroying the Eighth Route Army with immediate results. ”

"Oh? Why did Nakagawa-kun say that? It seems a little unconfident. ”

"Maybe. Alas, Zong Hanjun, I won't tell you the truth, for so many years, what makes me feel most headache and annoyed is that the Eighth Route Army that fought against our Imperial Japanese Army had no regular and conventional tactical tactics at all, and they could not be found in military textbooks and previous combat examples. Whether in the countryside or in the cities, the Eighth Route Army was very good at exploiting the loopholes of our imperial army, and they formed small detachments of eight or nine people, or more than a dozen people, day and night, from time to time, from time to time, from time to time to gather, sometimes to disperse, sometimes to gather and sometimes disperse, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west, sometimes to the east, and sometimes to the west, and they had no fixed place to live and acted uncertainly. The Eighth Route Army had frequent activities and caused great harm, harassing the garrison, sneaking up on the barracks, rampaging through the countryside, and killing people and robbing prisons. They have no plan, as long as they seize the opportunity of our imperial army's laxity, carelessness, or exhaustion, they will do whatever they can, attack quickly, and never hesitate to be soft. I sent my troops to surround and suppress them, and they scattered without a trace. Our army was like an iron fist in the air, and when our army withdrew and returned to the camp, they gathered together again, and so on, disturbing the troops of our imperial army without peace. ”

"Yes, yes. I've been in this situation a lot over the years. Nakagawa-kun, this is the typical guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, movement warfare, and sneak attack warfare of the Eighth Route Army. The guiding ideology of these tactics is to fight if you can win a battle, run away if you can't win, and cut off one of your fingers if you hurt your ten fingers, and fight according to your strength. We will never engage in head-on battles with the large forces of our imperial army, let alone engage in positional warfare. As soon as a small unit of our army and a convoy of arms and materials are discovered, they will assemble the main force, carry out rapid encirclement, intersperse, stop the head, cut off the waist, and cut off the tail, resolutely annihilate everything, seize the arms and materials, fight and run quickly, and quickly leave the battlefield. In short, the strategic intention of the Eighth Route Army was to consume and drag down our imperial army, so that it would be difficult for our army to take care of its head and tail, to protect its front and back, to be difficult to defend itself internally and externally, to be blocked from far and near, to be exhausted, and to be restless. When you want to fight, you can't find opponents and targets, and when you don't, you are inexplicably attacked and sneak attacked. Alas! The Eighth Route Army was too powerful and cunning, and many of the tactics and tactics they used originated from the "Art of War", and the Eighth Route Army inherited and developed the "Art of War", which is worthy of being the descendants of Sun Tzu. ”

"Yes. The targets of the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack and sneak attack on our imperial army were mainly small units and transport teams, as well as arsenals, grain depots, and hospitals, which made people unguarded and exhausted. Zong Hanjun, I have been unable to understand a question for so many years. What do you say the Eighth Route Army has? Primitive and backward spears and broadswords, old and broken rifles, shotguns, no heavy weapons, not even regular and formal military uniforms. And our Imperial Army has aircraft, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, cavalry, telephones, radios, advanced and fast communication equipment, why has the Eighth Route Army not been defeated and wiped out for several years? ”

"Nakagawa-kun, I've thought about this question for many years, and I may have figured it out a little."

"Oh? Zong Hanjun, what do you want to understand? Can you tell me? ”
