[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 791: Trial and Execution (Subscription Requested!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

As the trial continued, the army captain in charge of the interrogation obviously wanted to exonerate the soldier in front of him, and immediately asked, "Is there no one who stayed with you to send troops in North China?" As long as someone testifies to you, then the front will release you! ”

"Yes, there were only three people left in the same brigade with me, Yamazaki, Takeshita and Honda, but the three of them were too unlucky, they were killed in the pursuit of the Shina agent a month ago, and I don't know which brigade they were assigned to, and I don't know if they are still alive!"

"So you don't think what you just said testifies?" The captain said with a frown. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hay! So to speak! "Well, I'm done talking, please ask Your Excellency the Inquisitor to question me!"

Hiroki Iijima looked at the young soldier in the dock, and from the question just now, he could feel that this was a brave soldier, and a veteran who had participated in many battles, and he couldn't bear it when he thought of what General Okamura said last night.

But I can't bear it, some things can't be changed, and even if I can change it, it's not something that he, a small army leader, can change.

"Private class, Ben Dazuo asked you, did you participate in the massacre of the common people of Sanlitun China?" Hiroki Iijima asked loudly.

The senior soldier was silent for a minute or so, and finally nodded and said, "Report to the chief, I participated and killed 3 people with my own hands!" ”

"Yoxi, although I don't approve of your actions, you are a soldier who dares to act. However, it is a pity that this behavior of yours has seriously violated the provisions of the Great Japanese Army Law, and there are no witnesses to your self-defense, so I will now read out the results of your trial! Hiroki Iijima said in a deep voice.

"Hay!"

"Senior Private Inada Kojiro wantonly slaughtered the civilians of China, the evidence is conclusive, and I confess to my crimes. In view of the bad impact of this incident on the Imperial Japanese Army and the Great Japanese Empire, the Command of the North China Front of the Great Japanese Empire has now found that the crime of killing civilians by Asada Rice is established, and has decided to sentence Asada Rice to death, which will be executed with the approval of the North China Front Command! ”

......

On 27 February, the North China Front Command tried 32 Japanese soldiers and 3 officers, of whom 5 were sentenced to death by the North China Front Military Court for serious violations of discipline and the spirit of bushido, 7 were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, and the rest were all fined or expelled from the army.

In the following days, the North China Front tried the remaining officers and soldiers of the Japanese puppet army for violating discipline, and each trial court was overcrowded, and every time a Japanese puppet soldier was tried, there were continuous applause inside and outside the courtroom, and for the Chinese in Peiping, the Spring Festival of 1940 was not lonely.

On March 1, the North China Front again posted a notice announcing the results of the trial, in which 158 people were brought to military courts, of whom 19 were sentenced to death, 87 to life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment, and the rest to be punished in varying degrees of severity.

What made the citizens of Peiping even more happy was that the North China Front Command also announced that the 19 soldiers sentenced to death would be publicly executed on March 7.

For a time, the military and people of China and Japan discussed a lot about the military discipline purge of the North China Front, and there were those who agreed, those who opposed it, those who disdained it, and those who scolded Okamura for being a hypocrite.

However, no matter how the outside world commented and questioned it, the North China Front's actions to rectify military discipline did not stop, and soon the Chinese people in the occupied areas clearly felt that the former fierce gods and evil were much more kind. Although the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law still did not dare to go out on the street, the men no longer feared being killed suddenly.

With the public execution of those soldiers who had seriously violated discipline on 7 March, the military discipline of the North China Front Army was greatly improved, and the opinion of the ordinary Chinese people in the occupied areas towards the Japanese army also changed to a certain extent.

In addition, Okamura Ninji took the opportunity to put forward propaganda such as "love the people" and "goodwill", and a large number of "people-friendly" manuals were sent to the people, and in a very short time, Okamura Ninji gained a firm foothold in North China.

Okamura Ninji's series of combination punches were indeed very clever, and the atmosphere in the security area had changed greatly in a very short period of time, and this change was extremely beneficial to the Japanese army.

In addition to the fact that the hostility of the Chinese people towards the Japanese army has been greatly reduced, the most important thing is that the military discipline of the various units of the North China Front has been markedly improved, and Okamura Ninji then ordered the garrison troops in various localities to step up their training in order to rapidly improve their combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the base camp of the Japanese army was not idle, and after learning of the heavy losses of the North China Front, it immediately made major adjustments to the Japanese army in North China, and with the arrival of nearly 50,000 supplementary corps in Japan, the situation of the lack of troops in the North China Front was somewhat eased.

Soon after these domestic reinforcements arrived in North China, they were transferred to various units by Okamura Ninji, and as these additional troops were successively added to the divisions, the First Army in Shanxi led by Yoshio Shinozuka and the Second Army led by Iida Sadagu finally recovered a little vitality, but despite this, Okamura Ninji did not know the bottom of his heart.

The original North China Front Army can also be regarded as strong in the entire Chinese dispatch army, a full 13 divisions and 10 mixed brigades, counting other independent troops and aviation units, etc., the total strength reached an unprecedented 380,000 troops, at that time it was almost invincible as pointed by the sword, and during the Battle of Xinkou, Itagaki Seishiro's Fifth Division only used half a division to defeat more than 30 divisions in the Chinese Second Theater in front of him, and then occupied Taiyuan, which Yan Xishan had run for most of his life, what a majesty it was.

However, at this time, the North China Front was no longer majestic, and the successive defeats made the Chinese soldiers not only defeat the Japanese army on the battlefield, but also defeat the Japanese army in confidence.

Although according to the information sent back by the informants who were lurking inside the Eighth Route Army, the previous period of the great battle also caused huge losses to the Ma Zheng headquarters in China, according to the informants' own eyes, it is said that there were hundreds of cars transporting the wounded, and they were transported for more than 10 days in a row.

As an experienced commander, Okamura knew very well that after the end of the war, not all the wounded needed to be treated by the headquarters of the transportation association, only those who were seriously injured and had to undergo long-term recuperation or surgery in a short period of time had to be transported back to the headquarters for treatment, and those who were lightly wounded only needed to stay in the active army to recuperate.

According to the informant, there should be tens of thousands of seriously wounded in Ma Zheng's department in this battle, even if there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people, according to the ratio of 5:1 of light and serious wounded, Okamura Ningji was pleased to find that Ma Zheng's department had more than 100,000 soldiers injured some time ago, plus those who died directly on the battlefield, the loss of Ma Zheng's troops should be between 130,000 and 150,000.

But Okamura Ninji himself knew that this was just his own conjecture, and no one knew what the truth was. However, no matter what the situation is on the other side, the situation at home is indeed very clear, and if the six divisions and regiments promised by the military headquarters cannot be put in place, it will be difficult for the situation in North China to control this decadent trend.

At that time, the North China Front Army was surrounded by the Chinese army, although these Chinese armies were full of internal contradictions, but in the face of the Great Japanese Empire, the attitude was the same, and now these Chinese troops have seen the weakness of the front army, although the Ma Zheng army in the north has not taken action against the front army in recent times, but whether it is the Central Army of the Central Army of the Nationalist Government Jiang or the Jin Sui Army of Yan in the Second War Zone, it has been moving frequently during this time, and even the Wei Lihuang army that has just been beaten and abandoned his armor has begun to move. It seems that there is a plan to fight back to Tojo Mountain.

And the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Jin Province was not far behind, and in recent times, it was as excited as chicken blood, and frequently launched attacks on the First Army in Shanxi, all of which made Okamura Ningji feel a serious threat. (To be continued.) )
