However, including Iida Sadagu and Kasawara Yukio, they all underestimated Okamura Ninji's determination, and as the orders of the North China Front Headquarters continued to be issued, the Japanese puppet army in North China quickly moved into action. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It can be seen that the top echelons of the Japanese army seem to be very determined this time, and in just three days, one-third of the unqualified gendarmerie units of the front army headquarters and the military police units of various divisions and regiments were kicked out of the gendarmerie units, and a large number of recruits who had just landed in North China from China were added to the gendarmerie.

Beginning on 20 January, the common people in the Japanese-occupied areas of North China saw from time to time the Japanese military police of the brigade pushing the Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers walking on the road to the ground, and finally tied them up and escorted them back to the military police headquarters.

At first, people didn't know what was going on, but soon they knew that there was a rumor at home that they were doing things for the Japanese, saying that the new Taijun was a rare good person, and that he wanted to call the shots for the Chinese people.

Although this rumor has spread well, not many people really believe it, even when the Nationalist Government was in power, officials often protected each other, let alone the Japanese. The scourge of the Japanese soldiers against the Chinese people is almost open at the moment, so have you heard that they have been punished?

However, they soon became suspicious, because on February 23, the headquarters of the North China Front and the two regiments under its jurisdiction posted a public proclamation with many contents, but the main one was only one sentence, that is, "The Imperial Japanese Army is determined to rectify military discipline and severely punish all soldiers and officers who seriously violate military discipline."

As soon as this proclamation came out, the whole of North China was in an uproar, what are the Japanese going to do? Could it be that the new Grand Taijun is really a good person? Does he really want to call the shots for the Chinese people? This series of questions appeared in the minds of the people in the occupied areas, and for a time became the focus of discussion in North China.

However, the vast majority of the common people do not believe in this either, because the fact that the Japanese military officers are the masters of the Chinese people is too strange and incredible, this is simply a fantasy.

A day later, the North China Front Headquarters once again posted a public notice informing the people in Beiping that the Imperial Japanese Army would openly try 72 imperial soldiers and 86 imperial allied soldiers who had seriously violated military discipline at the Military Police Headquarters three days later, and the highest rank was Captain Shaozuo.

The news quickly spread in Beiping City, and although people were still skeptical, there was no doubt that the security in the city had indeed improved in the past few days.

It seems that this newly appointed Japanese officer is quite good, the people in the city thought so. Now it depends on whether the trial of the Japanese soldiers who violated discipline is true, if it is true, then the big guys don't have to be so worried in the future.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and early in the morning of February 27, many ordinary people in Beiping City flocked to the Japanese military police headquarters in Xizhimen.

Unlike the heavily guarded gendarmerie headquarters in the past, although a large number of Japanese soldiers are standing guard here today, and there are also many Japanese soldiers patrolling nearby, these Japanese soldiers are not as vicious as they used to be.

Seeing the Chinese people rushing over, they no longer shouted angry or even punched and kicked. It was just a simple body search for civilians who were going to enter the headquarters to watch the trial, and if there were no "contraband", they were immediately released.

The courtroom at the gendarmerie headquarters was not small, with several hundred seats alone, and it was not until eight o'clock in the morning. The entire courtroom was already full, and even the outside was full of people.

In addition to the Chinese people, there are also many Japanese businessmen and a large number of Chinese and foreign journalists, who are also concerned about whether the trial is true or not, and whether it is related to their development in North China.

At 9 o'clock, the trial meeting officially began, and as several officers rushed in, the originally noisy trial court suddenly fell silent.

At this time, a Japanese officer stood up and bowed to the people in the audience, and then spoke loudly in Japanese, while the simultaneous interpreter on the side translated loudly: "Subjects of the Empire, the people of North China: Entrusted by General Okamura, I, Hiroki Iijima, am now holding a public trial of 72 imperial soldiers and 86 imperial allied troops who have seriously violated military discipline. ”

Originally, Iijima Hongyi thought that his words would make these foolish people of China grateful, and the most unfortunate thing was to return with warm applause. But in fact, in addition to a faint anger on the faces of these viewers, there is more suspicion.

Seeing only sparse applause, Iijima Hongyi was slightly angry, but he was helpless. Yesterday, Senior General Okamura personally held a meeting with their judicial team and told them that they must pay attention to their words and deeds, especially to control their emotions. This is the first step in changing the image of the Imperial Army, and this step must be taken well. So even though he was angry at this time, he couldn't shout at these stupid Shina people as loudly as he used to.

Hiroki Iijima looked down at the documents on the trial table, and then said loudly: "Take the soldier who violated discipline, Kojiro Inada!" ”

"Hay!"

Soon a Japanese soldier who had been unarmed was brought in from the outside, only to see that the soldier only had a light white shirt on his upper body, and a piece of-yellow military pants on his lower body, rubber-soled shoes, and no hat. The whole body was beaten bloody, the white shirt was full of blood-red marks, and the face was swollen like a pig's head, and the gendarmes dragged him when he walked, otherwise he might not even be able to walk.

At this time, an old man in the audience suddenly shouted: "It's this brute, yes, it's him, he beat my son to a cripple half a year ago, and he is still lying in bed, retribution!! ”

"Silence!"

Hiroki Iijima was not satisfied with the noise below, and the military court had to look like a military court, otherwise it would lose its majesty.

After the soldier was brought to the dock, an army captain who looked like a prosecutor stood up with a document in his hand and read: "Senior soldier in the rice field, Li Laojiu, the head of Sanlitun Village, reported that you had massacred 14 residents of Sanlitun and seriously injured 2 of them in the course of the law and order rectification in June 15 of Showa 15, what is your justification for your crime?" ”

"Sir, I was only ordered to clear out the rebel forces in Sanlitun, and I received an order that all the people of China who did not cooperate with the front army could be executed! So the lowly thinks that he has no crime! Senior Private Asada said loudly.

"Private class, but according to the results of our investigation, the 16th Division of the North China Front to which you belong did not issue such an order, and we have looked through all the order documents of the 16th Division in Showa 15, and there is indeed no record of this! What do you have to say about that? ”

"The order was not given by the division headquarters!"

"Who ordered that? Wing or Brigade Headquarters? ”

"No, it was our squadron leader Kobayashi Nojiro, and many people heard the order at the time. He was the one who asked us to do this, and Chief Kobayashi thought that all the Shina were cunning and stupid, that their existence was a mistake, and that these stupid Shina had killed so many of our comrades. Inada Kojiro said loudly.

"Kobayashi Nojiro, where is he now?"

"I'm sorry, but Chief Kobayashi died in battle three months ago, our squadron was ambushed by the Shina army three months ago, and there were heavy casualties, almost all the veterans were killed, and less than a fifth survived."

"Can someone testify for you?"

"I'm sorry sir, because the casualty rate of the Kobayashi squadron exceeded 80%, plus the death of Captain Kobayashi in battle, the Kobayashi squadron was abolished, and of the 21 soldiers we were lucky enough to survive, 2 died of serious injuries, 7 were sent back to the country because of their disabilities, and the rest were all disrupted and other remnants were replenished to the Yamazaki brigade, and then transferred to the Central China area."
