70 The Yellow Sparrow Flying (3)
"China and Japan will end the war, restore peace, and embark on a path of coexistence and co-prosperity." Such a passage was constantly circulated through leaflets among the Japanese army in Taiwan. Of course, some officers tried to criticize this with emotion, saying that only by defeating China could Japan gain an infinite and vast space, but this approach was a clear failure. The belligerent clamor only provoked the rolls of the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, and did not reap any real effect. Those officers who were truly loyal to the emperor had already led an attack on the BJP, and their bodies were brought back, or they could not be brought back at all. The guy who can incite the soldiers to die unscathed is not a hero with outstanding achievements.
The unit to which Lieutenant An Tenghui belonged was also in Taiwan at this time, and he had always suspected that this transfer was the result of a purely political game. Although a large number of people in Japan's parliamentary elections flaunted the banner of "anti-feudalism", many small political parties even wanted to join Kita Ikki's organization of the "Japanese Anti-Feudal Alliance". However, the biggest difference between Kita's organization and other organizations is that the first step in entering this organization is to establish the idea that "the state is an instrument of class rule."
If you really understand this, you will have a completely different view of the world. To admit the existence of class oppression, it is natural to distinguish between the ruling class and the ruled class. The most important thing is to determine the class to which you belong and to establish your own class position. Anyone who is able to accomplish the above ideological understanding, and it is not even necessary to emphasize later, that the exploited proletariat, small producers, and even the bourgeoisie can find that the biggest problem in Japan is the suppression of the feudal system. At this time, when the "Analysis of the Classes in Chinese Society" was brought out to these people, the situation in Japan as a whole suddenly became clear.
Some people really can't have the courage to confront Japan's deep-rooted feudal system, and they find that the enemy is not just a few corrupt officials, or a few big villains around the emperor who bewitch and deceive the emperor. The enemies range from the emperor to the bureaucrats, and even the gangsters who are secretly in collusion with the authorities. All the people up and down have formed a system, and although the system is also deceitful for their own interests, the system itself is too powerful in Japan.
Some people chose to quit, and these people, without exception, were all vassals of this ruling class, and recognized the truth of their masters, which helped them to hug their masters' thighs tightly. The contradiction between the enemy and ourselves in what they consider is actually the contradiction within the Japanese feudal ruling class, not the contradiction between the Japanese ruling class and the people.
But many more chose to stay, and those who were able to stay here were basically those who were desperate for the Japanese ruling class. Even if they come from the ruling class, they have decided to betray their origins.
Fortunately, Kita Ikki is also a big celebrity, and many of the practical policies promoted by Kita Ikki have also become the policies of a part of the propertied class to settle down, even if the "Japanese Anti-Feudal Alliance" has been valued by the Japanese upper echelons, but it has not yet been banned. However, the core members of the organization of the Japan Anti-Feudal Alliance have all attracted attention. In particular, members of the army were sent to Taiwan to participate in the war.
However, Captain An Teng did not regret his choice, and the revolutionary truth told by Kita Yihui really illuminated the world in front of Captain An Teng like a beacon. After reading a large number of revolutionary documents and articles, and listening to Kita Yihui's narration of these documents and articles, Captain An Teng changed from a hot-blooded young man who opposed "cannibalism" to a revolutionary who realized that he "may not have unintentionally eaten people" and wanted to overthrow this cannibalistic system.
Having seen China, he did not describe China as a country full of selfless and fearless revolutionaries when he introduced the Chinese system. Instead, Bei Yihui described China as "the great people know best what is best for themselves."
No one is going to make a loss, that's the same all over the world. Even the loyal Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army could not have gone into battle after listening to a few words of communist propaganda. Without land reform, industrialization, culture, education, science and technology going to the countryside, and the methods and systems of New China that can gradually change and improve their lives by relying on labor, it is impossible for the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to face death in order to defend the present life. Bei Yihui emphasized this point when introducing the situation in China.
Japan had the upper hand in the face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was bound to lose every battle in the face of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. In order to maintain its offensive posture to the outside world, Japan also has to exploit its own people with all its might. These simple facts are clearly written in the BJP leaflets. "Japanese officers and soldiers, do you think that the food you eat every day is a reward from the Japanese upper class? The upper echelons of Japan do not farm, do not produce, and do not use the spells of gold, urine and silver, and those food materials are not still the fruits of the hard work of your parents and brothers? Most of the products produced by these laborers were taken by the Japanese upper class, and most of them were used for themselves. With the remnants left at you, do you have to thank the rotten Japanese upper class for that? ”
The People's Party has never dared to say these things out loud, not only within the party, but also to the people of the whole of China, "The state is an instrument of class rule." After the people's congress gained some of the real supervisory powers, the propaganda of these basic political principles became even more extensive and widespread. But this is only China alone, and Japan's propaganda machine is propagating words such as "loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, seven lives to serve the country, military luck for a long time, Kudan Sakami" and so on.
Therefore, Lieutenant An Tenghui, who has been extremely broad-minded, can clearly see that the Japanese officers and soldiers have also thought about this kind of thing in private, but this is the first time that they have been openly and bluntly pointed out that they are driven by exploitation. If the Japanese army can win the war and plunder the wealth of the enemy country, the Japanese army may still be able to hold on, but the current situation is unfavorable, and the possibility of defeat in the long run is very great. The morale of the Japanese army became more and more difficult to maintain as the war continued. In order to maintain morale, the Japanese officers spoke loudly about the clichés that had been repeated countless times. These nonsense, which I had heard countless times, did not work well, on the contrary, made the Japanese soldiers even more disgusted with the war.
The preferential treatment of prisoners by the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army's policies were also explained in the leaflets. It lists all the wars with Japan, although they were ruthless in the course of the fighting, but once the enemy surrendered, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army never mistreated prisoners. The number of Japanese troops who voluntarily defected to the Chinese side was very small, but when they could not resist in battle, there were more and more cases of Japanese troops raising their hands to surrender. The news soon spread throughout the Japanese military in Taiwan, and the Japanese upper echelons could only lie that the gang had been killed by the Chinese side. But after the seriously wounded were treated, the Chinese side handed them back to the Japanese army.
These guys, who had already been brutally killed by the Chinese, actually came back alive, effectively exposing the lies of the Japanese army. To make matters worse, some of these people were transported back to Japan, and some died of illness in Japanese military hospitals because they were not delivered. The phrase "maybe it would be better if I didn't come back" also spread throughout the Japanese army.
Third Lieutenant An Tenghui believed that it was impossible for Japan to win the war by dragging it out, just like in the First Sino-Japanese War. If it drags on, it will only be Japan that will be dragged down. As he thought, the Japanese Taiwan Command, which had been beaten by the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army in the mountain warfare and was powerless to resist, gave up its intention to compete with China in the mountains and drew up a new plan in July. In the new plan, the army will divide its troops into two routes, one will launch an attack along the railway to the south, and the other will take a boat around the southern part of Taiwan to carry out a landing. Captain Anteng was among the troops on foot south.
Captain Anten had an indescribable feeling about such an offensive plan. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army's movement warfare was also mentioned by Kita Yihui on the essentials of "the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and we fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue." Japan has never regarded Taiwan as Japan's own territory, and most local Taiwanese have never regarded Japan as a real motherland, and the Japanese troops fighting in Taiwan are simply in enemy territory. With such a southward plan completely a conventional mode of engagement between the two armies, what will happen in the event of a sports war?
Even considering such a difficult situation, when Captain Anten himself embarked on the journey, he realized that the reality was more terrible than he imagined.
At this time, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army's troops in Taiwan numbered as many as 60,000, and the opponent was 120,000 Japanese troops. The Chinese Air Force easily dealt with the Japanese Air Force and has since controlled the skies over Taiwan.
Before World War II, aircraft all over the world experienced rapid progress in civilian aircraft technology and faltering progress in military aircraft. China's airlines are all state-run, so it has realized the accumulation of civilian life and the extremely "advanced" pattern of military research. The propeller aircraft is not much ahead, and Chen Ke is most familiar with some of the characteristics of the BF109, P51, and Zero models. Because Zero Style is an evil way, Chen Ke has never made up his mind.
China and Germany already have a lot of cooperation in military technology. As a result of the Great Depression, many German aircraft designers were either unemployed or could not find investors at all. BF109 is a major German aircraft design company to help China improve the wind tunnel at the expense of China's wind tunnel, and the Chinese wind tunnel has helped Germany complete aerodynamic experiments throughout the process.
In terms of jet fighters, O'Haiin, a young German turbine engine designer, went to China in 1930 to lecture, study and work to earn money, and participated in China's plan to improve the turbofan generator that used the exhaust gas of steel mills to generate electricity. He didn't want to go back to Germany anymore, so he applied for a turbine engine and even a turbofan engine project at school. After receiving approval, we will work with the development team in China to carry out R&D and production. The new engine was used not only on propeller fighters, but also on the project of jet fighters.
After the prototype of the BF109 came out, the German side used its own engine, and China used a new engine with a turbocharger, and the engine output was greatly increased. However, Chen Ke was a little unhappy that according to the stereotype, this aircraft got the name of J-8. It took Chen a while to get used to it.
Regardless of whether Chen Ke is happy or not, there is no doubt about the combat capability of the J-8 fighter, and after the aerodynamic optimization of the wind tunnel, the appearance of the aircraft is more beautiful. Japan's old biplane fighters, which were not too numerous in number, were dealt a devastating blow in front of the J-8 fighters.
Without air cover, the march of the large Japanese army was immediately problematic. On the first day of the march, it was cloudy, and the railway had already been stripped of several kilometers of tracks by the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and the locomotive could not be used. The Japanese could only walk on two legs, and Captain Anteng suddenly saw several planes rushing down from the clouds, firing fiercely at the Japanese marching columns with machine guns, and attacking them with rockets under the wings. The whole process takes no more than three minutes. When the plane was pulled up and ran without a trace, the Japanese troops marching on the ground had just arrived and arranged anti-aircraft fire.
These attacks did not culminate in occasional periods, and after the fighters had finished fighting, it was the turn of light bombers to drop bombs on the Japanese ranks. Although the quasi-head is worth considering, the deterrent effect is appropriate. No one could stand such a massacre unilaterally, and the Japanese army could only carry machine guns on one side and be ready to enter the anti-aircraft battle at any time, while continuing to advance in fear.
At night, the familiar sound of automatic rifle fire kept the Japanese awake at night. During the day the next day, the fighters did not reappear, and it was the turn of the bombers. Chinese four-shot bombers crossed the Taiwan Strait and dropped hundreds of tons of bombs on Japanese marching columns at heights simply beyond the reach of Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns.
The bombs were not only ordinary blasting bombs, but also some steel ball bullets, which exploded on the ground or in the air, and the hot steel balls scattered in pieces killed and injured the Japanese army's marching troops.
The next night, the Japanese were no longer gone, and the soldiers of the front-line troops generally wanted to withdraw. According to this method, no one can guarantee that they will make it to their destination alive. Not only the soldiers demanded a retreat, but even the Japanese officers who shouted for a decisive battle with the Chinese no longer dared to say anything beautiful.
In the headquarters to which Captain Anteng belonged, the tent for deliberation was tightly closed, and the faintly lit marching lanterns were lit inside. This is still a trick learned from the navy, to prevent the light from leaking and being bombed by enemy aircraft. It's July, and everyone is covered in stinky sweat after the march, and if you cover it like this, the smell inside the tent is very bad.
Even if it was so uncomfortable, everyone involved in the meeting, from the wing commander to the group leader and squadron leader, seemed to be silent than concentrated. It was hot, and the inside of the tent was not breathable, and everyone soon sweated profusely, which aggravated the unpleasant smell of sweat in the air. Even if the soldiers sat like this, they did not speak.
If you continue to move forward, you will have to wait for the attack from the air all the time. But no one wants to say anything. If you go to the mountains, you have to fight directly with the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and the battle has already taken place during the day, and the Japanese troops who are pursuing the seemingly fleeing Chinese army have broken into the minefield, suffering more than 200 casualties, and the Japanese no longer dare to march into the mountains.
In the end, the wing captain may not be able to bear the heat and humidity, and finally spoke: "Prepare your lords, and continue the march tomorrow." ”
No one dared to object, and the meeting was dispersed. Walking out of the tent, Captain Anteng took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling relieved by what should have been physiological comfort, but not because of the extremely pessimistic prediction of war. The tragic anticipation of the future weighed on Captain Anten's heart like a stone.
