Chapter 258: The Chinese's Propaganda War
"Despicable and shameless! Despicable and shamelessβ"
The howl of ghosts and wolves sounded at the headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army, and everyone around who could hear the sound couldn't help but shrink their necks. Commander Terauchi Shouichi is one of the supreme leaders of the Imperial Army, and the anger of a big man of this level should not be touched, and if it is touched, it will be a catastrophe.
However, others can hide from Shouichi Terauchi, but Kenji Dohihara can't.
"Is there no other way? This is already the fourth incident of the month, the fourth incident......" Shouichi Terauchi's round and big head shook violently, "Tsuchihara-kun, this is a joke, a joke, a big joke!" Do you know the way? β
"I know it." Tsuchihara didn't sit like before, he was now standing in front of Terauchi Shouichi, his face full of helplessness and decadence. And the reason why he, the king of agents of the Great Japanese Empire, is so depressed is due to a series of unspeakable embarrassing incidents that have recently occurred within the Chinese dispatch army, several of which are extremely serious.
For example, not long ago, two soldiers from Kagoshima stormed a comfort station in a place in Fujian, killed more than a dozen soldiers and officers, and then burned the comfort station to the ground. According to the investigation after the incident, the two suspected that their relatives and lovers were forcibly incorporated into the comfort station by the military department and became comfort women.
Moreover, half a month ago, a reserve Zhongzuo who had just been transferred to China from the mainland, had not even fought a battle, and was beheaded by a military cao for ...... reason The soldier suspected that this Nakasa had committed adultery with his wife who had stayed in the country. According to the investigation after the fact, although this Nakasa is frivolous, he is actually a good man, a good husband, and a good father, and has never had an extramarital affair, and he and the family of the military Cao are one in Honshu and the other in Kyushu. I can't hit eight shots. In other words, this Nakazo has been down for eight lifetimes, just because he wants to show off his heroism and romance that women like in front of his new colleagues, he casually a woman, so he inexplicably cuckolded the military cao who had just come down from the battlefield, and then, the military cao who died for the rest of his life heard about it and broke out......
Also, two days ago, a squadron on the outskirts of Nanchang was stationed in a bombing camp. The reason is that before going to bed, this squadron listened to some radio saying that the Chinese Air Force was bombing Japanese troops everywhere, and it is said that it has been speculated that the next target may be the cities of Jiangxi. As a result, when I went to bed in the middle of the night, I didn't know who had a nightmare. Suddenly, he roared like that...... This incident was relatively harmful, but it only shocked the puppet army of a battalion next to it. Killed and wounded twenty or thirty. It was a small captain of this squadron who was knocked off two lower legs by the counterattacking puppet army machine gun, and two mortar operators died, and at the same time, because of the trouble, afraid of being found by the Japanese, the puppet army battalion commander defected with his men. It is said that when the guerrillas went......
It's not a big deal to say these things alone, at least they won't be so concerned by him and Shouichi Terauchi. But these things happen one after another, and it's a big problem. And although these things themselves are not big, their subsequent effects are very "powerful": just like the bombing of the camp, not only did the image of the fearless Imperial Japanese Army be extremely seriously damaged. It also brought a deep psychological estrangement to the puppet army that fought together. Because, in order to take care of the face of the Imperial Japanese Army, the dispatched army did not disclose that these incidents were caused by the Japanese army's own "bombing of the camp", but accused the puppet army that "defected", saying that it was the imperial army that the puppet army took the initiative to attack. But this can only deceive people who don't know the inside story, but not those who know, and the problem is that there was more than one puppet army stationed on the periphery of that squadron at that time.
There are also the two incidents of the unfortunate Nakasa and the burning of the comfort station, although they both proved to be a sad misunderstanding afterwards. But since those two incidents, the communication between the local garrison and the mainland has suddenly become much more intensive...... What does this mean? It represents that the soldiers on the front line are beginning to suspect that there will be problems behind their backs, it represents the instability of the army, and it represents that the soldiers have begun to distrust the government and the military department.
If it was just one or two such things, Tu Feiyuan could still understand it as accidental, but this kind of thing happened one after another, so he had to be vigilant. So, after some investigation, he and his men quickly found those very low-level radio stations...... Not only do they regularly sell erotic articles and 'audio novels', but they also publish false news on a large scale to create an uneasy atmosphere among the front-line soldiers. These radio stations were clearly secretly set up by the Chinese, but such an inconspicuous method already had a large audience among the front-line soldiers.
He had ordered that the soldiers should not listen to the radio broadcasts, but it had no effect at all, and the soldiers were still listening. He also sent a notice telling officers at all levels and those soldiers that the radio stations were publishing false news and that the Chinese were deliberately causing trouble for them, and it was still ineffective. Because rumors stop at the wise. But the Imperial Japanese Army didn't produce many smart people. What's more, who doesn't worry about their own family when they leave their homeland alone and come to China to fight? The so-called local news released by the Chinese will still worry even if the soldiers know that the truth is false...... I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if! What's more, there will always be some "smart people" in the army, who will not believe what their superiors say so much. The superiors said that those radio stations were fake, and people were fake? Perhaps it is precisely because these radio stations expose some of the dark sides of the country that they are banned by the government in collusion with the military leadership......
So, those stations are still talking nonsense, and the listeners are still there.
And if these radio stations cannot be stopped, the dispatch army will continue to have problems, just like the incident that just made Terauchi Shou soar: the 6th Division, which had just been withdrawn from Changsha to Wuhan for rest, a captain inspected the barracks and found that someone was eavesdropping on the broadcasts of the fake Chinese radio stations, and immediately stopped them. Later, the lieutenant was stabbed in the stomach with a bayonet, and the soldier was shot dead by the lieutenant.
β¦β¦
"The Chinese have clearly grasped another key point in our military, that is, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is too rigid and communication is not smooth." Tu Feiyuan sighed, "So, more than 70 percent of their recent targeted reports revolve around the rich bullying the poor, the rich bullying the good, and the left-behind officers bullying the relatives of front-line soldiers. The government oppressed the people, and the nobles oppressed the commoners. Anyway, how can it arouse the interest of our soldiers, how can it make them uncomfortable, even angry, they will report anything. β¦β¦ And the dispatch army has been in a state of extreme excitement after repeated battles, and our soldiers have not yet adjusted, and as soon as they are stimulated, they are very likely to burst out and hurt people! β
"I don't want to listen to these explanations. I just want to see these events put to rest right away and never happen again. Shouichi Terauchi slapped the table and shouted: "A soldier fighting a captain may not be a big deal, but this can affect the morale of an entire army!" And now we've had too many of these incidents, so I want you to come up with a solution to this problem right away! β
"I can figure it out. But we haven't been in such a situation before. So, I need time. "Tu Fei Yuandao.
"Time time...... How long do you have to go? Shouichi Terauchi asked coldly.
"I don't know what to do." Dohihara sighed. "These radio stations made by the Chinese directly provoked the soldiers to the homeland. Thoughts and worries about home. This is the most fragile and also the most sensitive place in the hearts of ordinary people. Especially now that the soldiers are far from their homeland, they have to face the hostility of the surrounding Chinese...... This emotion is even stronger. If they were forced to erase that emotion, I can guarantee that it would be the beginning of a large-scale mutiny. β
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I was going to force it? Terauchi Shouichi said angrily: "I just asked you to find a way to deal with the enemy, not for you to go to war with those soldiers." β¦β¦ If you really can't. Why don't you also learn from the Chinese? Like them, they also made a few Chinese-speaking radio stations, using the same means as them? β
"The Chinese army doesn't have a lot of radios." Tohihara's face was expressionless, "And." China has been in chaos for decades, and most of their soldiers are ordinary people who are accustomed to suffering and being oppressed. What our soldiers could not bear, for them was nothing more than commonplace. Most of them joined the army and fought not for the sake of national righteousness or national independence, but for the sake of having enough to eat. Under this premise, such a thing as radio broadcasting can only be regarded as a luxury, which can only be enjoyed by a small number of officers. And it is clear that this kind of thing has no effect at all in front of an officer of a certain rank. They are facing only the most ordinary soldiers. β
"Is there no way around it?" Shouichi Terauchi gritted his teeth and said.
"At least not yet." Tu Feiyuan sighed.
"Baga Ya Lu!"
"I still have some things to deal with, so let's get out of the way first."
Tsuchihara didn't dare to stay in front of Shouichi in the temple, not because he had no guts, but because he had no face. Because Terauchi and he both know very well that the Chinese radio station is only beginning to show its prestige. Over time, the influence of these stations will grow. Because the longer those Japanese soldiers are away from home, the more they miss and worry about their hometown. And the content of these radio broadcasts in the Chinese is exactly the appetite of those soldiers, and over time, the ideas they promote will be imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers, and they may explode if they find an opportunity...... But in the face of this situation, he had no choice.
"The Chinese are really getting better at fighting." There is some sadness in the soil and fertilizer plain. His skills are mainly to deal with those Chinese dignitaries and high-ranking officials, but now Chinese does not attack him in this regard, but finds those soldiers who are not very discerning...... In terms of propaganda, it has avoided the real and attacked the false, and it has become more and more impressive on the battlefield. And Japan, on the one hand, wanted to deal with China, and on the other hand, provoked the Soviet Union. Although it seems that both wars have gained the upper hand, they have irretrievably fallen into the quagmire of war. Although the Japanese government is still vigorously promoting Japan's strong and powerful force, these people already have a feeling of great hardship.
"Let's hope everything will turn in favor of the Empire."
β¦β¦
"Did you find any clues?"
Slowly returning to the office, Dohihara had regained his previous self-confidence, looked at Shibayama Kenshiro standing in front of him, and asked about the tasks he had assigned.
"I'm sorry, General. The enemy is still raging in Shanghai! Shibayama Kanshiro looked tired, and there were two huge eye bags hanging under the black circles under his eyes, if it wasn't for the fact that Tohihara was very familiar with him, I am afraid that he would not be recognizable at a glance.
"Since they are still killing people in Shanghai, what are you doing here?" Dohihara looked careless, "I remember that the task I gave you was to get their heads back. β
"I came back this time because I found a piece of news that I don't know if it's true or false." Shibayama Kaneshiro Road.
"Interesting." Tu Feiyuan rolled his eyelids, "If you don't know if it's true or not, come back to me...... Can I help you tell? β
"General, my bamboo organ and Captain Nakajima have cooperated and found a big problem......" Shibayama Kanshiro took a deep breath: "We suspect that Nanzo Yunko seems to be questioning her Japanese identity!" β
"What mud?" (To be continued......)
