Chapter 70: A Conspiracy
Yes, just before the dawn when Jin Tao arrived, something miserable happened in Qixia Temple. Just last night, when Venerable Silent was writing the article "In the Name of Humanity to All Persons Involved in This", the bell rang to tell everyone that something terrible had happened here.
The mother of a child, who was climbed over the wall and came in with 5 devil soldiers on the wheel in the Buddha hall. Traitor. Not only that, in order to cover up her ugly deeds, the child's mother has now been turned into a corpse by hanging on the beams of the Buddha hall.
The child's crying is like a sharp blade drilling in the hearts of some people. The sound of the child's crying also made some people feel lucky, at least it was not their own woman who suffered last night.
But the things in front of them also made some people feel strange, because Japanese soldiers have always been unscrupulous, so why did they do more than this time?
No one knows that this is exactly the same reason for the Jinling Women's Liberal Arts and Sciences College in the "Nanjing International Security Zone", which dares to turn on the lights at night. It was actually the Jin Tao who was walking into the temple, and his hands were stained with the blood of the Japanese army - King Jin Dayan!
But it is worth explaining to everyone that this is not a change of character and mercy for the Japanese army. And such a change is nothing but a conspiracy, a conspiracy to eradicate an army that one fears oneself!
What Chi Youjun did in Nanjing City in just ten days was enough to make all the Japanese officers worried, and there was some reflection in addition to worrying.
After all, thousands of wounded soldiers, entire field hospitals, and many sneak attacks. This cannot but cause reflection on the part of the Japanese occupation army, and to be honest, Matsui Ishone, commander of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army, already felt a little scared in his heart.
If a soldier in war is not afraid, the person who thinks so is an ignorant person. Whether it is a just war or not, whether it is a fair war or not, whether there is much to be gained or not. But just for the soldiers on the battlefield, whether officers or soldiers, are not afraid that it is fake.
What Matsui Ishine, commander of the Nanjing occupation force, feared was that if the Chiyou army in Nanjing in front of him really became a force in China in the future, it would be not terrible but very terrible.
Because these fellows don't play any hypocrisy, and they don't bow their heads when they look at the faces of foreigners. It seems that if you want to insult them, you have to be prepared to lose your head. And it turned out that they used a means to kill all the Japanese soldiers.
And they are not afraid that this will cause more revenge killings, because they themselves are preparing for more killings.
This can be seen from the poem left on the wall of the "Jinling Children's Liberal Arts College" -- "Don't complain that you kill many people, and shameless beasts abuse the world." Sister Ling who dares to enter the academy will slaughter Tokyo to tell the sky! - Chi You Army! ”
From this vicious, declaration-like poem, the commander of the occupation forces, Matsui Ishone, could feel a chill in his heart.
The poem in front of me is just from the mouth of a group of soldiers who call themselves "Chiyou Army". So if this poem comes from the mouths of 400 million people, if there is any power to unite the scattered Chinese.
Then not to mention the slaughter of Tokyo, even the entire Great Japanese Empire is vulnerable. After all, compared to China, with a population of 400 million, Japan is just a small place. If 400 million people were to slaughter Tokyo, there would be no force in the world that could stop them. If 400 million people are united, then there is no power to defeat them in this world.
Of course, this was the state before nuclear weapons, but even with nuclear weapons, no one dared to say that he would completely kill 400 million people. The best way is to use the traitors of 400 million people, as well as some ignorant or shameless people, to achieve their goals.
This was the only means for Japan to occupy China and maintain peace and stability for a long time.
However, these guys like to kill, and they like to cut people's necks or twist each other's neck bones. In a field hospital, there are no less deaths of either kind. There are also people who are simply picked up and smashed their heads directly on the floor.
The commander of the occupation force, Matsui Ishone, could not imagine what kind of person would be able to do it. What kind of instructors can educate such a group of soldiers?
What kind of instructor is it, it is Jin Tao, the living king of Yama. What kind of method is used to train the dead, the hell training method.
Such an army is terrifying, but it is not unconfronted. What is really frightening about such an army is that they put the dignity of the Chinese first, and this is a frightening trend.
At the very least, the commander of the occupation forces, General Matsui Ishone, would not have thought that a group of dignified people were unworthy of respect, and that respect came from revenge when they were wounded and hurt. If you are hurt, but you don't have the slightest revenge, and you can only endure it, then it's not worth worrying about.
After all, it was like a slaughtered domestic animal, and no one would fear their retaliation. But if it hurts someone's dignity and leads to a never-ending battle, it is terrible. And if this "contagion" awakens everyone who has been numb to the point of no dignity in "not talking about state affairs" and "the surprise of friends," then it will be an extremely terrible thing for the Japanese Empire.
At the moment, not everyone in the Japanese Empire agrees with such a view, but some sober people still recognize it. One of these sober people was Yamamoto Isoroku.
The history we see is that the sober Yamamoto Isoroku did not want to attack Pearl Harbor at first, or even to the Japanese Empire to go to war with the United States. Before the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the naval faction represented by Isoroku Yamamoto did not advocate declaring war on the United States, because Isoroku Yamamoto knew the strength of the US Navy.
Yamamoto studied in the United States when he was young, and of course he was opposed to the war against the United States, believing that Japan could not defeat the United States and that there was no possibility of victory.
However, as a result of the 226 Mutiny, the ruling army warlords led by Hideki Tojo overthrew Prime Minister Yonei and supported Marquis Konoe Fumima as prime minister, which was actually a puppet of the army. By 1942, Hideki Tojo's power reached its maximum, and he became prime minister, minister of war, and minister of munitions, and the power of the government and military was all in control. With the Emperor of Japan, the Navy faction did not have much say, but the Army faction had a lot of say, and the Army advocated declaring war on the United States, so the Emperor listened to the advice of the Army and decided to declare war on the United States.
The fundamental reason for this lies in the fact that Japan failed to achieve its goals on the Chinese battlefield and was in a dilemma. It had to take the risk of opening up a new battlefield, trying to seize what it did not get on the Chinese battlefield on the new battlefield, and then go back and clean up the Chinese battlefield.
To put it bluntly, the first attempt to control China was for the strategic resources of the south. However, before completely occupying China, it opened up the Pacific theater and committed the taboo of fighting on two fronts. If it weren't for the fact that Japan initially thought that China would be easy to eat, and then ventured to open up a new battlefield when it couldn't eat it for a long time, the logic would be very reasonable.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― people like the commander of the occupation forces, General Matsui Ishone, are certainly not stupid at all. If he were a fool, then he might think that an army like the Chiyou Army was nothing more than a cruel, reckless army that did not deserve to be fussed about.
However, he was amazed by the brutality of this army, its special equipment, and its special combat methods. But before he could make a plan to change the status quo, he still needed to meet Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu, and the decision to change the status quo of the Nanjing Massacre came entirely from this person's letter.
“…… It was a small army that used silent weapons and fought mainly by sneak attacks. But they have an extremely strong attacking ability, and they are ...... about acting disguised as our soldiers."
The corpses under the whitewashed walls outside the "Jinling Women's Liberal Arts College", the poems on the whitewashed walls, and the report of Tani Shofu, all made the commander of the occupation forces, General Matsui Ishone, feel that it was a force to be reckoned with.
So the question now is whether to improve the law and order situation in Nanjing.
The advantage of this is that it will allow the whole city of Nanjing to settle down again. At the same time, the tension between the survivors of Nanjing and the occupying army tended to ease, so that the Chiyou army could be suppressed to the greatest extent and supported.
At the same time, the commander of the occupation forces, Admiral Matsui Ishone, hoped that this would create an appearance that the situation had eased. With this time, the 6th Division will have about a week of repair and replenishment periods.
He planned to accept the suggestion of Lieutenant General Shofu of the 6th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, and use the 6th Division, which is now the main force outside, to appear silently and quickly around the Chiyou Army. Then an intensive dragnet search was carried out, making sure that not a single soldier escaped this army.
The reason for this decision was that the commander of the occupation forces, General Matsui Ishone, had recognized the danger of this force. If their silent weapons and the tactics of warfare, which are mainly based on sneak attacks, are in the hands of the Chinese authorities, then China's human resources will have a good chance of gaining the initiative in the war.
Like the commander of the 6th Division, General Matsui Ishine, the commander of the occupation forces, wanted to know what those silent weapons looked like, and why they were completely silent.
