Xiao Zhenlei was very concerned about the campaign to capture the Ryukyu Islands, and he often asked about it in the past two days, and the military also reported to him the progress of the campaign once a day. In his telegram to Cai Guodong, he pointed out that in the campaign against the Ryukyu Islands or in the subsequent campaign against the Japanese mainland, there is no need to care too much about the casualties of Japanese civilians, and if it is an attack on other countries, he will not give such instructions, but for Japan, his policy is to let go of his hands and feet, not to be bound by certain ideas, and to fight without scruples, but in the campaign, he cannot let the soldiers deliberately slaughter, and weapons of mass destruction can be used to destroy the will of the Japanese army and Japanese civilians to resist, but the soldiers cannot be allowed to slaughter, Because soldiers are also human beings, they are not machines, and having soldiers directly confront the slaughtered civilians causes them psychological and spiritual wounds that cannot be healed.

There is a reason why Xiao Zhenlei made this instruction that he should not be too concerned about the casualties of Japanese civilians. The Japanese are a very strange nation, this nation is a group bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, other nations in the world more or less have some characteristics of oppression and resistance, there are some people in every nation who are unwilling to rise up and resist, but Japan is not, the harder it fights, the more convinced it is, the more afraid.

In World War II, the most Japanese were killed not by China, nor by Soviet Russia, nor by Britain, but by the United States, when the US military bombed Japan, thousands of Japanese died every day, and thousands of houses were burned down every day, and when they bombed Tokyo, tens of thousands of people were killed in one day, hundreds of thousands of people were injured, and millions of people were homeless. It can be said that the Japanese economy completely collapsed at that time, and during the entire bombing. More than millions of people were killed, including the two atomic bombs dropped.

The Japanese were killed so many people that not only did they not develop the slightest hatred for the United States. On the contrary, he is respectful and honest to Americans, like a grandson, and treats the United States like a son to a father, loving, respecting, and fearing. Therefore, Xiao Zhenlei believes that when dealing with Japan, it must not give it any good face, and the more ruthless it is, the more honest it will be.

Cai Guodong, who received Xiao Zhenlei's instructions, immediately mobilized the naval fleet and the air force bomber group to carry out large-scale artillery bombardment and bombing of the densely populated areas inhabited by the Japanese in Naha and other coastal cities, in order to break the will of the local Japanese to resist.

The effect of this is very obvious, because the Japanese are not stupid, and the Japanese civilians found that the Chinese army did not use force against civilian areas at first. And when civilians were drafted to join the rebel army, the Chinese army no longer had any scruples.

After a week of large-scale bombing and shelling, the densely populated Japanese area on Sanshan Island was almost destroyed, and only half of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese on the island remained, and all the others died as a result of the bombing and shelling, and many of the remaining half were injured or sick.

In a war environment, people are prone to getting sick, especially in days of displacement, which can cause the body's resistance to plummet over time. The number of Japanese in the Ryukyus was decreasing day by day, and people were dying every day, so the Anguo Army had another mission, and they were given the task of cleaning up the corpses.

The mass death left the Japanese in Okinawa without the slightest will to resist. All the Japanese on the island of Okinawa are completely honest, and they cannot afford to resist in the slightest, but resigned themselves to waiting for the verdict of the Chinese army. Life or death depends on the Chinese army.

In the process of attacking Okinawa, the Anguo army under the command of Kimura Ronggu became more and more courageous. They killed with ferocity, and they gathered together the captured soldiers. The soldiers who were willing to submit were collected, and those Japanese prisoners who were unwilling to join were tied to wooden posts one by one, and then rows of Anguo soldiers strode forward with bayonets and stabbed those bound prisoners to death with bayonets, stabbing the bodies of the prisoners into a sieve, until the bound prisoners were bleeding out and their stomachs were pierced.

The Anguo army gathered the bodies of Japanese prisoners who were stabbed to death with bayonets, dug large pits and buried them in a centralized manner, and even sometimes Kimura Ronggu was troublesome, so he directly ordered people to pile up the corpses, and then poured gasoline on them and burned them all clean.

Nancheng, Li Zongren's regimental headquarters.

Li Zongren was inspecting the ammunition and materials that had just been transported outside the regiment headquarters, and while inspecting them, he instructed the officers in charge of logistics to carefully count them and keep them properly.

After the explanation, Li Zongren was just turning around and about to walk to his office, when there was a car horn behind him, he couldn't help but stop and look back, only to see a young officer of his age jumping out of the car, when he saw the young officer's face clearly, he couldn't help but smile and raise his hand to greet happily: "Jiansheng, what wind blew you here?" ”

Bai Chongxi walked over, the two shook hands very excitedly, and Bai Chongxi then said: "I have just been sent to the first regiment of the 42nd Division as the chief of staff, I heard that Liu Cunhou said that you are here, and there is nothing to do today, so I will take the time to come and see you!" ”

"Hahaha, okay, let's go, follow me in, let's have a good chat, don't get drunk today!" As Li Zongren spoke, he pulled Bai Chongxi to the regiment headquarters.

Bai Chongxi saw a forest next to him and said with a smile: "Delin, let's go to the woods over there for a walk, the air is good and the shade is cooler!" ”

"Okay!"

The two talked to each other about their respective situations in the past two years while walking, Li Zongren took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Bai Chongxi, and lit one himself, Bai Chongxi smoked a cigarette and asked: "Delin, I heard that the Anguo Army has been very murderous recently, and often kills people at will, isn't your regiment responsible for monitoring them?" Isn't that so? ”

Li Zongren took a puff of cigarette and nodded: "Yes, those Japanese don't know what they think in their heads, they can come up with a vicious way to tie Japanese prisoners to a pillar and then use a bayonet to kill them, it's really ruthless!" Some of the newly joined captives were timid, and Kimura Ronggu of the Anguo Army ordered them to stab to death those who did not want to join one by one with bayonets, and after several killings, the Anguo Army soldiers who had only recently joined also became murderous! ”

"A few days ago, an Anguo Army squad went to a nearby village to check the rebels, the people of that village were unwilling to hand over the rebels, and hid the rebels, the squad leader of the Anguo Army ordered all the Japanese in the village to be gathered, and then pulled out the strongest men and hacked them to death one by one, and later pulled out two pregnant women and used a bayonet to break the pregnant woman's belly so that the unborn baby fell to the ground, tsk, to kill this, the Japanese in that village couldn't stand it, and immediately confessed a few rebels who were hiding, and after those rebels were arrested, they were dug out on the spot, and their bodies were hung at the entrance of the village, and now the Japanese in the whole village are honest, and no one dares to take in the rebels anymore! ”

"This kind of thing is often done by the Anguo Army, and in all the Japanese villages that have been dealt with in this way, there are no more rebels, and some Japanese people in the villages go to the city to report the situation of the rebels! These days, I have also discovered that the more you treat the Japanese, the more honest they become, and you can't be polite to them, and the more polite you are, the more they will think you are weak and deceitful."

Bai Chongxi was surprised when he heard this, "There is still such a thing? What a miracle in the world! ”

Li Zongren smiled: "It's not! ”

The two chatted for nearly an hour, and seeing that it was almost noon, Li Zongren looked at his pocket watch and said, "It's time for dinner, let's go to a restaurant in the city and have two drinks!" ”

Bai Chongxi was puzzled: "Is there any good restaurant in this ghost place?" ”

Li Zongren said with a smile: "I can't talk about good restaurants, but there are some characteristics, especially some restaurants opened by the original residents of the Ryukyus, the seafood in them is good, take a walk!" ”

"That's fine!"

Saying that, the two walked out of the woods, and each beckoned the guards to drive two jeeps towards the city, and the garrison was just outside the southern city, less than two or three miles apart, and it was only a few minutes by car.

The population in Nancheng is not much, coupled with the large-scale bombing and artillery bombardment of the air force and navy before, the population has lost a lot, and most of the people who remain in the city are the original inhabitants of the Ryukyus, except for a few obedient Japanese, most of them are the original inhabitants of the Ryukyus, these original dwellings do not have much modernization, they live a very primitive life, they look very simple, the attack of the Chinese army did not cause any harm to the original inhabitants, and the bombing is only aimed at the Japanese military and civilians, so these original inhabitants of the Ryukyus are very friendly to the Chinese army, and there are many old people who still remember that the Ryukyus country is a vassal state of China, After all, it has been less than half a century since Japan established its power in the Ryukyus, and it is normal for many old people to still have memories, so they are extremely enthusiastic about the Chinese army.

These Ryukyu aborigines think that the Chinese army is a heavenly soldier, and now the heavenly soldiers have come to save them, in fact, they have long not wanted to live under the rule of the Japanese, but the Japanese rule is too harsh, and the opponents are also extremely fierce, and the original inhabitants have no armed forces, so they can't do the Japanese rulers at all, so they can only obey, but now it's different, now the Chinese heavenly soldiers are coming, and they can soon drive away the Japanese rulers, and many young Ryukyu boys also ask to join the Chinese army, Many young girls were dressed up and stood at the gate of the barracks, hoping to meet a Chinese army officer who could take a fancy to them.

Not to mention, these Ryukyu girls still have a unique appearance in their own national costumes, and there are really many Chinese army officers and soldiers who are attracted, and the army does not prohibit officers and soldiers from falling in love with these Ryukyu girls, but let some officers and soldiers solve their personal life events.
