Chapter 1818: Fate is uncertain

The officer quickly confessed, in order to ensure accuracy, basically, every American military officer was separated and enjoyed the same treatment, obviously, the Americans have not learned to deliberately tell nonsense, most of the intelligence is correct, this is not a secret, Salt Lake City, as the state capital, is a very small city, not to mention the officers, the soldiers know a lot of things.

The appearance of a column of troops, which was completely accidental, made them extremely nervous, fortunately, it did not cause a great impact, a column of troops, more than 700 soldiers, under their machine gun fire, basically took about 5 minutes, they were completely killed, and the rest also surrendered, which did not pose any threat at all, which was equivalent to a short period of twists and turns, but the people who surrendered, so that they had no choice, at this moment they were going to attack Salt Lake City, next, it would be carried out according to the Sakura plan, mobility is the most important thing, Next, it is necessary to destroy this section of the Pacific Railway within a few days, 500 kilometers longitudinal and horizontal, and only by destroying enough routes can we give them enough strategic depth, and it is the key to attack Ogden within three days, and only in these three days, continuous sorties, can this strategic goal be achieved.

When emphasizing mobility, they didn't even carry the captured materials, at most the soldiers carried some souvenirs or high-value and small-weight things, such as gold ornaments, diamonds, etc., and the rest were abandoned, even the battle items were like this, of course, the prisoners had no way to carry, for the Japanese, killing them was the best choice, but at the request of China, they could fight fiercely in the United States, but the method of abusing and killing prisoners must not be done.

Japan doesn't know, why China will do this, Japan doesn't mind killing prisoners, in China is so strongly demanding, they can't do it, China is currently their suzerain, his will at least can affect the entire situation in Japan, although it will make people very unaccustomed, but it can also be accepted, especially after going to North America, the captives are useful, and the captives can also be exchanged for money, even if it is not much every year, an average of about 100 yen per year, which is basically the salary of a Japanese labor force in the previous year, A person looks inconspicuous, but if there are many people, it is not necessarily, but after a certain amount of money, it is also a large amount of income.

When you come to Alaska, you gradually capture the captives, and then send the captives to China, compared to letting the captives do coolies, or go down the mines, you can transfer them much more, just send people out, no need to supervise, no need to supervise the work, according to the number of heads, it is still the money earned by a labor force, the first 700,000 captives in Alaska, can provide an annual income of 70 million yen, which greatly makes up for Japan's expenses, money can solve all problems, especially at the critical juncture of the war, a little more income, It's enough to make a difference in Japan, not to mention tens of millions of yen a year, or every year.

Only after joining China, did they feel the horror of such a move, they knew before that the Germans were crazy about capturing prisoners and sending them to China, and they felt very strange, they didn't know what the Germans were doing this, but after careful calculation, the prisoners sent by Germany to China may exceed 50 million, and what does it mean, the annual commission of 2.5 billion US dollars, converted into more than 100 battleships that can be produced, and at least 50 super dreadnoughts, this is a big gain.

The Japanese then understood that the captives were not a difficult trouble to deal with, but when China put forward such a policy, it became a sweet and sweet pastry, and in this case, Japan gradually changed its style, from the original state, to capture the prisoners as much as possible, and there was any chance, unless it was a war, otherwise, to ensure the safety of the prisoners as much as possible, and not to destroy and maim the prisoners, because the destruction and mutilation of the prisoners, the crippled prisoners, would not make much money.

However, the current situation is a little different, it is also possible to capture prisoners on the battlefield, near Juneau, it is possible to get them to China to make money, as long as they are sent to the rear ports, and the ships that are active on the Pacific route every day can send them to China to work, in order to encourage the Japanese to capture more prisoners, the funds given by China are from the time the prisoners are on board, so that at least one month's salary will be given, which is quite a great encouragement to Japan.

The whole of Alaska, about 1 million people, ran away and killed, and finally captured more than 700,000, basically more than 7 percent, which is a good number, and even after the battle, the war of millions of people, Japan successively captured more than 1.3 million prisoners, and the annual commission income exceeded 50 million US dollars, and also exceeded 100 million yen. Export industrial products are different from basic raw materials, and the price of raw materials is so different from industrial products that I don't know how much, but there is no problem with transporting labor, not only is it sustainable, but the price given by China is not low.

Capturing prisoners has become a habit, but this is in the hinterland of the United States, 700 fighters, including train drivers, less than 800 people, this group of personnel, in the end survived three or four hundred people, more than half of them were seriously injured, intact, that is, more than 100 people, these people were captured, but even on the premise that whether they can return is a problem, how can they take them, at that time it was an absolute burden, really brought prisoners, without the Americans attacking, they themselves will be the first to play.

Can't kill, can't bring it, this part, just throw it here, anyway, in the wilderness, they have no weapons, no means of transportation, and they don't worry about how much wind and waves they can make, as long as they kill Salt Lake City, they will immediately transfer, and then, wreak havoc in the entire central region, under the premise that there is no secret march, there is no need for secrecy, and even on land, some civilians encountered will not do much, their purpose is very simple, to destroy the cities of the United States, by the way, to destroy the railroad, Others, if incidental or valuable, may waste a little time, but others, not enough, must wait until it is safe to talk about it.

For Japan, it was a trivial matter, this is basically, not even a battle, for Japan, they didn't even break a little skin, just surround the train, and then pull the trigger, the US military did not even deploy the machine guns, those rifles and pistols, how much damage can be done to them, it is really unscathed, but for the Americans, it has suffered a big loss.

A military train was killed like this, and the survivors who came out in the end were only more than 200 people, and most of them were wounded, and the whole battle did not last long, but back and forth, delayed for an hour and a half, especially to clean up those Americans, Japan did not massacre them because of China's requirements, but did not rescue them, at most they left some bandages and alcohol or something, and the rest, let them fend for themselves. As far as Japan is concerned, this has reached the extreme, this is just an expeditionary corps, the vast majority of them are combatants, there are very few other personnel, and there are a few health personnel who are also for the army, it is impossible to rescue these American troops, and it is already good not to continue to destroy.

Seeing that Japan did not continue to destroy, the surviving American soldiers, a little relieved, but the vast majority of people are a little sluggish, for those who were seriously injured and still howling soldiers, they were unharmed, and they seemed a little lucky, but they were able to come together, they all knew, the villagers, looking at their miserable calls, and even some people died of blood loss or injuries, pessimistic mood filled these American troops, at this time, they were just gathered next to the railway, There are also heavily armed soldiers guarding them, and they don't even dare to worry about it at all before they leave, what if these Japanese are ruthless?

The battalion commander still remembers that during the Russo-Japanese War more than 10 years ago, he was only a non-commissioned officer of the National Guard, and saw rumors about the Russo-Japanese War, when the Japanese killed prisoners, more than 100,000 people in a city were slaughtered, because they were too far apart, in the eyes of the Americans, China was uncivilized, they just looked at it as a lively view, and they didn't feel the same at all, but now, they also fell into the hands of the Japanese, the battle was fierce, just look at their casualties, more than 700 people, intact, There were only a hundred and ten people left, and even those who were slightly injured did not dare to move, no matter how much pain they had, they could not scream, for fear that the Japanese who would be angered would give them a shot.

However, the Japanese seem to be very well disciplined, except for the forced intelligence, those officers were tortured, and there was no too much interference with the others, but they just took away their guns and materials, and even left them some wound medicine, although these wound medicines, there is not much to do about the seriously wounded, the seriously wounded basically need surgery, but some lightly wounded, they can use alcohol disinfection and bandaging, at least, will not let the injury, further deteriorate, with these, At the very least, most of the lightly injured survived.

In the dark night, it is easy to accumulate fear, especially the foreign soldiers with loaded guns around them, they are all soldiers, although they see the Japanese entering the vicinity of Salt Lake City, their minds are full of doubts, but they also understand that the Japanese must be secretly marching, although they have begun to attack now, but who can guarantee that they will not kill them all in order to keep this secret, especially around, the soldiers with loaded guns have not relaxed at all, which has intensified this terrifying atmosphere.
