Chapter 92: Strength and Sidelines

Chapter 92: Strength and Standing in Team (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) Read! )

In the early morning of summer, Tieling is always foggy, as if covered with a thin veil, when the day just dawned, a "Flyer" reconnaissance plane circled over the Japanese positions in Tieling City for a long time, there was no gunfire, no artillery, and now, as in the past, the Japanese still have no means of countering the planes overhead. By the time the day was fully lit, several more reconnaissance planes flew through the sky and then flew in several directions.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, at the front of the position of the 2nd Division, a new captain arrived, he was wearing a new 38-style uniform and a new military cap, and anyone could tell from his new khaki uniform and new rank that this was an officer who had come to the front from his homeland.

In the past few days, new officers have been replenished to Tieling, and although the withdrawal has begun, it does not prevent the divisions and regiments from replenishing the middle and lower-level officers who have suffered heavy losses while withdrawing.

Cold guns, since the outbreak of the war, the cold guns of the Chinese have taken the lives of too many people, and most of them are middle and lower-level officers, for this reason, almost after the armistice agreement was reached and the joint communiqué was issued, the first thing the Japanese army did, in addition to transporting a large number of military supplies to Korea by cargo ships, also mobilized a large number of junior college students and college students, and even science students who were exempted from military service were also conscripted into the army as grassroots officers after the liberal arts students were conscripted and emptied.

"Alright, get ready, leave this afternoon"

After arriving at the front and introducing himself to the 3rd Squadron, Yasumoto looked down at the ragged soldiers and said only that.

"Ahh

It's time to withdraw

Where will they go?

"Maybe it's a triumphant return."

"Shut your mouth, is this a victory?"

"After all, we repelled the people of Lù, not ......"

Amid all the chatter, the troops began to withdraw, but the bits and pieces of baggage were loaded onto the wagons, and in any case the Japanese soldiers were reluctant to discard their supplies—old leather shoes and cloth bags stuffed with rags. In all corners of the wagon, the so-called supplies were loaded onto the wagon, and the curses rang out again.

"What if you don't have a horse? Are they going to let us pull the carriage, and how many miles ahead of us will be? ”

No one knows how many roads to walk, and although the Chinese side agreed to provide them with trains, everyone understands that on the South Manchurian Railway, the trains that can run are very limited, and the railway is a Russian-style broad gauge, and the Chinese quasi-gauge trains simply cannot run on such a broad gauge railway.

Despite the incessant sound of incantations on the front, they silently rested on the verdant meadows, quietly chōu their cigarettes, packed up their belongings, re-tied their tuǐ, and then, with an order, the Japanese lost their positions.

"Hey, I'm really reluctant to leave here."

"Yes, it would be nice if it were Japan in such a vast land."

"It's not so much wasteland, the people of China are really too làng."

"Don't dream, we were beaten away by them"

A cruel and ruthless word shattered their illusions, for these soldiers, they had comforted themselves that they were not defeated, but everyone knew that the reason they were not defeated was that the Chinese had no intention of destroying them.

The defensive positions of the 2nd Division, in just a few moments, ceased to exist, except for the arcs and curves drawn on the military map. They had dug 30 days and nights, covered with three or four covers, and tried to camouflage them with grass and branches, and now all was useless.

In a few days, it will become a place full of sludge and stinking water, infested with frogs, and it will collapse, and the grass that has grown on both sides of the trenches will become more dense, and maybe some children will run to this place where I don't know how many human tragedies have been staged, and I don't know how many evils have been staged, and they will collect those rusty bullets, maybe a copper bullet. And all this is what we left behind without a fight, without firing a single shot.

When the Japanese soldiers were pulling heavy wagons and withdrawing their troops along the railway towards Dalian and Lushun, the rammed earth road left by the Russians when they built the railway next to the railway was full of ordinary people who came from all directions, looking at these Oriental soldiers who had brought disaster to them.

In front of the civilians, there are guards wearing pen tǐng military uniforms with loaded guns and ammunition, these guards are all carefully selected by jīng, all of them are about 180 tall, they look at the Japanese soldiers who are generally below 155 in height, and even need to look down, thanks to the army's high-intensity training and good food, although the soldiers on the side of the road are wearing military uniforms, the thin single military uniforms still show their strong muscles, and when they look at these Japanese soldiers, their eyes are full of contempt. ,

"Oriental xiǎo dwarf"

Whether it is a soldier or a roadside citizen, when looking at these Oriental soldiers, they see that one of the two ** teams is tall and mighty, and the other is short, like beggars, the stark contrast makes them can't help but muttering in their hearts, and the cinematographers and photographers on the roadside use cameras and cameras to faithfully record this scene.

When they looked at the Japanese army with contemptuous eyes, the Japanese soldiers also looked at them, and the military uniforms, tall bodies, and strong physiques on the other side's bodies all made the Japanese soldiers wearing shabby military uniforms feel ashamed of themselves.

At this time, there was silence all around, amazingly silent, even the dogs did not bark, only the machine gunners on the trucks or open-top cars behind the crowd watched these Japanese soldiers with vigilant eyes, and the machine gun trucks set up every 100 meters, once an accident occurred, these Japanese soldiers with Type 30 rifles had no room to fight back.

"tǐng 起xiōng chamber, like the appearance of a soldier"

Seeing the contempt in the eyes of the surrounding ** people and Chinese through the glasses, although the height is less than 150, there is also a sense of self-shame in his heart, but Yasumoto still drinks his subordinates like a soldier.

Despite the urging of the officers, these Japanese soldiers still walked silently with little confidence, as if they were admitting their guilt, their eyes downward, no longer chatting, and no longer looking at the Chinese ** people around them who made them ashamed of themselves, but dragged their feet towards the south with their heads down.

Ishii Juncao walked to the side of Yasumoto's descent. He was carrying a leather backpack, and the shabby backpack and shabby military uniform made him, like the soldiers around him, look like a beggar rather than a soldier.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant, I always feel that the Chinese are not at ease at all."

Although I can't say a reason, I feel the change in the morale of the troops, and the arrogance that the ** people slowly appear, and a feeling that I can't explain and don't understand, makes Ishii feel that this so-called escort along the way is like ...... Well, it's like parading a prisoner through the streets.

"Hmm"

Yasumoto nodded downward, and glanced at the person as he passed by a medium-sized ** person. These people are not "tall and stupid" people, but the **** who fought them on the battlefield and had no power to fight back, why did they do this?

In the Chinese Art of War, Sun Tzu once mentioned that "the upper army is to attack the plan, the second is to attack the jiāo, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city." "They want to use this aspect to suppress the momentum of the imperial army, and let our army be ashamed of themselves with their strong soldiers,......"

And they succeeded

When he said this, Yasumoto's face was full of bitterness, he knew that after this "parade on the street", the ** people would be engraved in everyone's hearts, whether it was an officer or a soldier, as long as they were mentioned, they would think of these tall and mighty soldiers, as well as the machine gun cars, at that time, would they still have the courage to fight with them?

"Attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom"

The sunlight illuminated Xiao Xinren's face standing on the hillside. He had a cigar in his mouth, this cigar cigarette was sent to him by plane sent by His Majesty, it was just a box of cigars, but he knew what His Majesty meant, of course, this meaning was only for him to understand.

"The joint communique, the Japanese government is unwilling, the Japanese are unwilling, the Japanese soldiers are unwilling, the whole country is unwilling, once Japan and Russia cease war, the short is half a year, the long is a year, Japan may take the opportunity to declare war on our country, and at that time, we still have to meet on the battlefield for a while."

Xiao Xinren was speaking, with a trace of worry on his face, to a certain extent, he did not agree with a complete break with Japan, after all, China's strength is limited now, on the surface, China is far more than Japan in terms of economy and industry, and even more than Japan in military strength, but this is only limited to the army, and the navy is China's soft underbelly, and China's economy is heavily dependent on foreign trade.

China's factories are inseparable from imported machinery, and the country must export silk, agricultural and mineral products, and automobiles to obtain foreign exchange, all of which need to be shipped by sea, once a full-scale war breaks out between China and Japan, the Japanese navy blockades the navy, and China's economy ......

But this is His Majesty's decision, he can't go against His Majesty's orders, so what he can do is to make some preparations for the future war as much as possible, take the opportunity of "escorting" the Japanese troops out of the country, give them certain psychological hints, and do not hesitate to select the most handsome, tallest, and strongest officers and soldiers in the whole army to serve as vigilant tasks, the lowest height is 1.82 meters, and the highest is 1.95 meters, which will give these tired Japanese soldiers a psychological hint. ,

You can't beat them

Neither physically nor in terms of weaponry, you are no match for them

Only in this way can we gain some advantages in the inevitable war in the future, so as to take advantage of the superiority on the land battlefield and end the war with losses that Japan cannot accept.

"Director, you are too worried, after this war, Japan still has the capital to fight another war, this time, they are in Korea, I dare to say, they will not fight until both sides are defeated, they will also be exhausted, at that time, even if you want to free up your hands, if you want to fight us, you have to weigh yourself Any wise general will not continue to fight when the ** team is exhausted, of course, if you want to defeat the battle is one thing"

Lin Yanren said with a smile on the side, he is obviously not as pessimistic as the director, and even he is very optimistic.

"Director, you haven't been to Japan, you don't know what's going on there, Japan...... Well, how to say it? ”

After a moment of silence, he continued.

"The Japanese are poor, they were industrialized earlier than us, but they can't do without our Japanese steel mills, iron ore, coke, cotton huā from spinning mills, and raw silk from silk mills, most of which come from China......"

"That's why they want to attack China, and China is the lifeblood of Japan."

Interrupting Lin Yanren's words, Xiao Xinren said without worry, in the West Virgia Military Academy, he had studied the causes of the Civil War, not from beginning to end, not for the liberation of slaves, but for the sake of cotton

"Can they eat their strength?"

Lin Yanren looked into the distance and said.

"When they fought Russia, they didn't think about winning, and the current national strength and military strength of Japan cannot support a full-scale war, especially a war to defeat a big country, after all, the current China is not the Manchu Qing Dynasty of eleven years ago"

"It's good to prevent it from burning"

After Lin Yanren finished saying his opinion, Xiao Xinren pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Before the uprising, His Majesty once said that when facing things, we must make the most adequate preparations, prepare for the worst, and then do something, only in this way can we be fully prepared when we fail, so that we will not lose everything, and China cannot afford to lose."

With a long sigh, Xiao Xinren looked into the distance.

"The Japanese lose a game, they can't lose the capital, but if we lose, the friends who are like wolves will immediately pounce on us and eat us, before this war, Your Majesty has even done a good job, once it is defeated, it is to move the capital to Sichuan, fight for eight years, ten years, and carry out the war, fortunately everything is still planned, we won the first game by luck, and the next one ......"

"Director, what do you mean ......?"

From Xiao Xinren's words, Lin Yanren heard the words of the director, the director is His Majesty's confidant, if he says ...... There will definitely be a big war after that, but the question is with whom?

"Japan and Russia their interests in China, this war is ten years old, but there are also Britain, France, Germany, the United States, these four great powers all enjoy interests in China, the concessions in Shanghai, Tianjin, Wuhan and other places, the eastern suburbs of Beiping, Weihaiwei, Qingdao, Kowloon, Hong Kong, this is our Chinese place, if you want them to spit out what they eat in their mouths, there is only one way, that is, to fight and defeat them on the battlefield"

When the director said this, Lin Yanren noticed that the director's tone did not even show too much confidence, but his words were full of worry, no one can be happy about this matter, the rise of a weak country is not to challenge a strong country, but the four major powers that dominate the world, who will not worry.

"For the time being, these four countries, among which the United States is a typical merchant country, they will not fight a war for some interests in China, enough commercial interests can be exchanged for this country to give up their special interests in China, and the special interests enjoyed by the United States abroad are not widely supported in the United States, to a large extent, the United States is a naïve and simple country, they also had concessions in China, but the Congress did not support it, and the people also opposed it, that is, to annex the Philippines, It is also nòng a pretense of "helping it to achieve ultimate independence", the country ...... Fearful, but not afraid, what is afraid is his industrial power, to fight with this country, to count his chimneys first, if there are more than the United States, then fight, if less than him, then be a friend, Your Majesty also understands this, our foreign machinery imports to the United States account for forty percent, so the United States does not need to think about him for the time being, at least in the next ten or twenty years, he will be our friend",

At this time, Xiao Xinren was like a foreign officer, here as a soldier to comment on the enemies he may face in the future, to be precise, the enemies he will face.

"The rest is Britain, Germany, France, Britain is the world's number one power, and enjoys the most interests in China, it can be said to be the biggest, don't look at our current relationship with Britain seems to be good, and even the queen is a British nobleman, but if we want to move Weihaiwei or Hong Kong, Kowloon, this country will be with us to the death, involving the essential interests between countries, not to mention that the queen is a British nobleman, even if the queen is the king of England, this battle will continue,"

"Then Your Majesty is a big loss now"

Death made a joke directly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted that he almost didn't want to bite his tongue, but Xiao Xinren just continued to say his opinion as if he hadn't heard his words.

On the one hand, China is a weak country, on the other hand, it is the queen's factor, Britain believes that this can exert more influence on China in the future, so as to obtain the interests of other countries, but everyone understands that between China and Britain, if the old problems are not solved, war is only a matter of time, so when Britain maintains basic neutrality, it will lobby us to negotiate with the Japanese. The aim is to maintain the balance of power in the Far East, and the British have played the balancing method for hundreds of years, which can be said to be handy, and the balance in Europe is about to be broken, so it is natural to maintain the balance in Asia."

"The balance in Europe is about to be broken, Director, do you mean Germany?"

"That's right, the Moroccan crisis, the British are on the side of the French, Germany's eagerness to break the world order, so as to obtain colonies and overseas markets has seriously damaged the interests of Britain and France, the European alliance against Germany is forming, within ten years, there must be a big war, when the time comes, our problem is the problem of standing in line, standing on that side, it can be said that the war is the real battle for the survival of the country, if you say, stand in line......"

"If we stand in line, we can solve all our problems, Director, do you think we should stand over there are Britain, France or Germany?"

When walking towards the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Xinren dropped a sentence.

"When you don't have the strength, to stand on the side of the winner is to stand on the side of the winner"
