Chapter XXVI: Differences

"What do you mean by Mr. Zhao? This matter is just a misunderstanding, I think I need to explain to you the policy of our Eighth Route Army towards prisoners" Guan Xiang applied his eyes to Wang Mancang, who was still standing in place, to leave first, the whole thing has almost been figured out, speaking of which, Wang Mancang came to ask Thunder's military doctor to ask for medicine to treat the two Japanese soldiers who had just been captured a few days ago, at first Thunder's people had already taken out all the medicines, but Wang Mancang said it to people thoroughly, saying that these medicines were used to treat Japanese soldiers, The thunderous people turned their faces at this time, and the old hedgehog, who was so noisy on both sides, ignored it, fired a shot to warn Wang Mancang of them.

"We have always treated prisoners preferentially, this is our policy, and we will always maintain it" Zuo Quan waved away the guards around them, and in addition to Zhao Zhi and Tang Lei and a few of their personal mercenaries sitting under the tree, only Guan Xiangying, Zuo Quan and the cadres of the two base areas remained. Seeing that there was no one else, Zuo Quan continued, "Our Eighth Route Army has not been formed for a long time, and it is still just starting from weapons and equipment to tactical tactics, compared with the Japanese army, we are far behind, as long as we are willing to work hard to change the thinking of the prisoners, they can be used by us."

Zhao Zhi was a little disdainful of Zuo Quan's words, but it was really difficult to refute him face-to-face because of Zuo Quan's face, Xu was aware of Zhao Zhi's unhappiness, Zuo Quan just smiled and continued, "Don't believe it, just in Yan'an, there are many Japanese who have changed their minds to serve us, such as battlefield rescue, stabbing, artillery operations, etc., these well-trained Japanese will teach us those things of theirs, only by understanding the Japanese army well, we will have a chance to defeat them"

"Chief of Staff Zuo, there may be some truth to what you said, but what does this have to do with the medicine we brought?" Zhao Zhi obviously understood what Zuo Quan meant, but he just pretended to be confused. When the old hedgehog began to say the whole thing, Zhao Zhi already understood everything, the ambulances who were transferred to help by the Eighth Route Army saw that the thunder was full of medicines, as well as some surgical instruments that they brought with them, and their hearts were itchy, I don't know what means they used to hand the news out of the courtyard, and the soldiers and officers of the Eighth Route Army who blocked the courtyard were hooked by these medicines.

Wang Mancang's infantry battalion had just fought with the Japanese army a few days ago, and it was not the boss's strength to capture three Japanese soldiers, because the injuries were too serious, one of them died in the middle of the road, and the three captured Japanese soldiers were all mortar gunners in the Japanese army, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which learned the news, asked Wang Mancang to save the lives of the remaining two Japanese soldiers. Tossed all the way, the two Japanese were finally brought back to the base, but they only had one breath left, this Wang Mancang was in a hurry to get on fire, I heard that there was a medicine they urgently needed on the Thunder side, this Wang Mancang brought a group of people to find it urgently.

When he first entered the courtyard, the old hedgehog, who was busy handling the Jewish wounded, could still talk to them well, Wang Mancang asked for medicine, and the old hedgehog also gave it, but one of Wang Mancang's ambulances said something away. As soon as they heard that Wang Mancang and they were taking medicine to treat the captured Japanese soldiers, the old hedgehog, who was still smiling, immediately turned his face and snatched the medicine back, not to mention, and commanded the Jewish soldiers at the alert ambulance station, and directly drove Wang Mancang and the ambulance soldiers of the Eighth Route Army out of the courtyard.

Although this Wang Mancang is uneducated, this guy is from an old Red Army, and he holds that their Eighth Route Army is a real anti-Japanese team, and he can't do any national army or Jin Sui army. Originally, the old hedgehog was a little silent after driving them out of the yard, but when Wang Mancang pulled the words on Zhao Zhi, the old hedgehog, who had always been gentle and elegant, broke out, snatched the submachine gun of the Jewish soldiers around him and rushed at the sky, and then summoned Zhao Zhi and Zuo Quan.

Zhao Zhi consciously has no great friendship with the Eighth Route Army, and the exchange of weapons for intelligence is just a transaction between Thunder and the CCP, since Zhao Zhi first set foot in Shanxi to assist the Eighth Route Army with weapons, the Eighth Route Army has almost taken weapons and ammunition from Zhao Zhi to equip three regiments, and until now, there is an infantry battalion under the Eighth Route Army that has not left in Zhangwu County. Zhao Zhi didn't pick the medicines, he just didn't understand why the Eighth Route Army had to offer the captured Japanese soldiers as treasures.

Zhao Zhi is a guy who is a man of two lifetimes, in the previous life, Japan has always been eyeing China, providing some interest-free or low-interest loans to take away a lot of convenience from China, in fact, the Chinese do not know at all that the funds for Japan's revival after World War II were all plundered from China at the beginning, and people are showing favor to China with the money of the Chinese, but the ridiculous Chinese really think that the Japanese are good at learning and being obedient, but they don't know that the Japanese are laughing behind their backs that the Chinese are some fools.

Without waiting for Zuo Quan to answer his question just now, Zhao Zhi took out the short knife on his waist, drew a map of China on the ground with the blade, and then marked the approximate location and map of Japan on the location of the East China Sea, "Everyone, this is our map of China, this is the Japanese army, you compare it." How much bigger is our China than Japan, but why did the Japanese occupy most of China, the Japanese army is now stationed in China with nearly 1.5 million, but they are not only occupying China, but also fighting the idea of South Asian countries, so how many troops do you calculate the Japanese army? ”

Seeing that Zuo Quan and others couldn't answer for a while, Zhao Zhi smiled, "Actually, this question is easy to answer, in 1937, the total population of Japan was more than 70 million, of which nearly 17 million men of service age, and the number of men of military age accounted for 56.2%, reaching 10 million, and the total strength of the Japanese army at that time was 1.084 million, which means that the proportion of Japanese soldiers conscripted was about 10% of men of appropriate age" Zhao Zhi casually said these data made Zuo Quan and others look sideways, Guan Xiangying even took out a pen and paper to write down these contents.

"Some time ago, in order to retaliate against the continuous bombing of Chongqing by the Japanese army, we specially formulated an attack on the Japanese mainland, according to the data transmitted back by our people, now Japan is full of arsenals that produce weapons, ammunition, clothing, and equipment for the army, and most of the workers in these factories are old and weak women and children, and young and strong men rarely work in the arsenals, guess what, since there are so many young and strong men of appropriate age in Japan, where have these men gone?"

Seeing that Zuo Quan wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Zhi nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, it's similar to what you think, but they haven't been conscripted into the army yet, but are actively undergoing combat training. No matter how good the policy against the enemy is, what is the use, do you have to convince every Japanese prisoner captured by you one by one, these millions of Japanese soldiers, you can capture them? Can you make sense? ”

"We Thunder also have a policy towards the enemy, that is, not to leave prisoners, especially Japanese soldiers" In fact, Zhao Zhi said this is a little weak-minded, when he got up early to establish the Xi'an training camp, the instructors who taught Japanese language and Japanese customs were all Japanese prisoners of war who were subdued by Yu Dazhi, and there were quite a few, dozens of them.

"Mr. Zhao, but it has been proven that it is not enough to fight a war by killing alone, killing to stop killing will only make the war continue to intensify, and it will only cause more innocent casualties" The eyed cadre sitting next to Guan Xiangying couldn't help but speak, "Unite all the forces we can unite, actively divide the strength of the Japanese army, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of gradually defeating them, this purpose of our *** will never be wrong"

"You haven't been to the battlefield, have you?" Zhao Zhi looked at the glasses cadre and smiled, "Do you know Nanjing?" I mean 37 years in Nanjing, do you know how many people the Japanese army killed after breaking the city? Zhao Zhi's slightly flat tone carried a hint of coldness, and slowly stretched out three fingers to Zuo Quan and gestured, "300,000, a full 300,000 people, most of them are the so-called innocent civilians you just said." Then you say, when the Japanese army burned and killed those civilians in Nanjing, did they think in their hearts that they would also be killed and burned? If, after killing someone, you come to you with a shy face and say a few words of repentance, you become a good person who lays down his burden or a person who has a repentant heart, as you say, do you think it is fair to those civilians who have been killed or wounded? ”

"Some time ago, our Thunder Thunder attacked Japan for three consecutive days, causing a total of 20,000 deaths and about 10,000 injuries in Japan, and more than 500,000 Japanese people who became refugees and relied on government relief. But I, Zhao Zhi, don't regret it, and my brothers don't regret it either, if I were given more time, I would still like to take the Thunder troops to the Japanese island and kill all the Japanese."

"Bang dang" Zhao Zhi became more and more angry the more he spoke, he suddenly got up and kicked over his bench, and took Tang Lei and a few of them away without looking back, Zuo Quan and a few people sat under the big tree and confronted each other, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, especially Zuo Quan secretly sighed in his heart that this Zhao Zhi was so murderous. Preferential treatment of prisoners, especially Japanese prisoners of war, military commanders like Zuo Quan, who have had battlefield experience, do not agree very much in their private hearts, especially asking their soldiers to export food and medicine to those Japanese prisoners of war, but after all, this is a decision made by the Party Central Committee, and as *** members, they can only abide by it.
