Chapter 180: Jeju Massacre
Arriving at the Liugong Island Naval Base with Lieutenant General Jiang Yunzhi, commander of the Guards Corps, was the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Marine Division, that is, the Jewish Brigade. The crown prince of the Kingdom of Judah, who is also Zhongyi's cheap old man, His Royal Highness Haman, has always cultivated this elite army of Jews as the officer corps of the Kingdom of Judah. Salary, supplements, and equipment don't have to worry about the General Staff, and the wealthy Red Shield family...... Well, it should be called the royal family of Judah now, and it is not a problem to feed such an elite army.
In addition to the Third Brigade, the Kingdom of Judah formed a national defense force of 200,000 after its founding, including a navy of 30,000 and an air force of more than 20,000. Zhong Yi is not worried about the technical arms of the navy and air force. Not to mention that the personnel of the navy and air force can not be trained in a short period of time and a half, or these units have just taken shape, and most of the instructors among them are soldiers of the Red Police Corps.
The troops brought out by these red police instructors, Zhong Yi is really not afraid of what kind of demon moths they can make. It was the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kingdom of Judah, Zhong Yi took it to heart. You can't exterminate the natives with so many people, right? Moreover, the financial power is superb, and the CPP has almost collapsed by the treacherous Carrod with a gold yuan offensive. The small force of the CPP army in northern Luzon could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests to fight guerrillas, and was completely powerless to confront the Judah Defense Army.
So why do you still have so many troops? As the main signatories of the Greater China Alliance, both Moro and Sulu jointly formed the Mosu Legion, and they have made many military exploits. The kingdom of Judah, which was even more powerful, could not be left behind?
After receiving Zhong Yi's call, Haman scolded this son-in-law who had never known respect for the old man in his heart. You said that I even gave you my only daughter, why do you keep calculating me? Aren't the state troops us Jews? The Marine Brigade is not Jewish? Fortunately, this time the requirements were not too high, only 30,000 Jews were required for the new Luzon legion, and the rest could be recruited to fill the number. If you want to talk about Luzon, there are so many monkeys, and it is really not difficult to recruit a 180,000 legion, and you don't need to pay any salary, just eat enough. Haman also wants the monkeys to go to war, and it's okay to die more.
Regarding the old father-in-law's request that the new legion be composed entirely of indigenous people, and that the scale could be appropriately expanded, Zhong Yi refused without hesitation. Of course, Chung's reasoning was high-sounding: the natives had to be controlled by Jewish officers, so that they could be more easily integrated into the Wehrmacht after the war.
Of course, the handsome old Jewish guy is not so easy to deceive, but after the protest was invalid, and even Heinie's intercession was invalid, he had to receive the "kindness" of his son-in-law!
After two months of training, the newly formed Luzon Regiment embarked on the expedition, where they joined the 3rd Marine Brigade from Liugong Island by boat, and under the escort of the Northern Fleet, they slaughtered the ancient kingdom of Tamna, which many people called the island of romance. During the reign of the Yuan Dynasty of China, it was renamed Jeju. However, the mixed army of Jews and Luzon natives under the command of Jiang Yunzhi did not come to the romantic island to watch the flowers and enjoy the scenery.
Twenty nautical miles from Jeju Island, two aircraft carriers of the 1st Carrier Battle Group of the Northern Fleet are moored side by side. Among them, the Zijing is a newly designed Marshal-class Type B aircraft carrier with a displacement of 60,000 tons, which has been greatly strengthened in terms of anti-aircraft firepower and anti-sinking capabilities, and the lengthened straight-line flight deck is also ready for the take-off of a new type of early warning aircraft on the aircraft carrier. The increase in displacement is also reflected in the number of aircraft that can be carried, the Marshal-class Type A aircraft carrier can only carry 80 carrier-based aircraft of various types, while the Type B has increased to 92 aircraft, improving the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier.
Long Zhou, former commander of the Northern Fleet, has been promoted to deputy commander of the Navy and is fully responsible for the coordination and command of the three fleets. The naval side of the battle to capture Jeju was under the command of Commander Seki.
For this Jeju Island, the Han army did not pay attention to it. For a long time, the Japanese army regarded the Yellow Sea as an inland sea and Korea as a rear base. Jeju Island, which has great strategic value, was only built after the air raids of the Left Battalion. But Jeju Island is different from those small islands in the Pacific Ocean, there are not so many karst caves, and now Japan, which is extremely short of supplies, does not have much steel and cement to use on this isolated island, not to mention that the entire Yellow Sea is controlled by the sea wolves of the Royal Navy, and there are no transport ships in Japan that can be sent to Jeju Island.
The naval gunfire lasted less than twenty minutes, and the new HH6-F Pterodactyl bombers only dropped some bombs on the beach where there were not many people at all, and the Pterodactyl pilots were not willing to use the expensive black-footed goose-to-ground missiles. This kind of battle, which has almost no opponents, does not interest the pilots of the HNA air. After receiving His Majesty's personal praise and the opportunity to escort the Golden Dragon No. 1, there was some pride within the HNA unit, and many officers and men were complacent in the name of "proud sons of the sea and air."
The two dock amphibious landing ships worked very hard, and the landing site was gentle on the beach of Hagguri in the north of Jeju, and the Zibu and Zishan rushed directly to a position only 100 meters from the coast, and the small air-cushion landing craft stopped on the beach with a full charge of fuel.
The fighters of the 3rd Marine Brigade who jumped off were skeptical, "Is this an exercise?" "The establishment of the beach landing ground was successfully established by the Marine Corps soldiers in the midst of their doubts, and the landing began at five o'clock in the morning, and by six o'clock, the Third Marine Brigade had carved out a beach position two kilometers wide and more than one kilometer deep. The various units of the Luzon Army began to land one after another, and the Luzon Army, which lacked armored forces, was a pure infantry corps. No matter how rich the Rothschilds were, they were not generous enough to equip the natives with tanks. The natives, under the command of the Jewish officers, began to extend the depth of their positions, and with the exception of sporadic encounters of weak resistance from small Japanese forces, the forward division of the corps soon approached the city of Jeju.
The Jewish officers believed that the Japanese had largely given up resistance, that there was only one brigade of Japanese troops stationed on Jeju Island, and that the Allies were the strength of a legion. A sensible officer had no choice but to surrender.
But they underestimated the determination of the Japanese to the death, and also ignored that Korea is not China, and that Koreans have been ruled by Japan for more than half a century, and many of them have even changed their Japanese surnames to speak Japanese. Just as the Jewish officers of the Pioneer Division were already preparing to enter the city, suicide attacks by the Koreans followed. A dark little devil in his heart, there will never be a shortage of creativity in this area. Poisoning wells, suicide bombs, wagon bombs, mines and other means of attack overwhelmed the pioneer division, and the entry into the city was forced to be postponed. The vanguard division began to organize troops at the battalion level to clean up all the rebels in different plots, but except for a small number of little devils in military uniforms, most of the rebel forces were simply local people. Threw a grenade and drilled into the crowd, leaving the Luzon army defenseless.
Until Jiang Yunzhi led the corps headquarters to land by helicopter, the Pioneer Division still failed to completely occupy Jeju City. The situation in the city was reported to the headquarters, Jiang Hei's face was furious, and he secretly scolded that the monkey was a waste, "What is the difference between the crowd that provides cover for the little devil and the little devil?" Kill! Wherever the resistance flees, kill it! ”
The bloody order was immediately and faithfully carried out by the Luzon army in Jeju City, and a pro-Japanese resistance dropped an earthen bomb, killing two native soldiers. The soldiers who pursued them immediately opened fire, the bombers took refuge in the houses, and the mortars were set up - boom! The house was blown open. Running into the crowd, heavy machine guns pulled over, and with the roar of metal, the crowd turned into a pile of minced meat.
The end of helping the Japanese army resist was that their houses were blown down and their relatives were slaughtered. More and more resistance troops threw away their weapons, and those who were forced by the Japanese army had to be forced step by step by the clearance troops of the vanguard division into the Halla Mountain in the middle of Jeju Island.
Relying on the treacherous terrain of the slopes of Hallasan Mountain, the Japanese and Korean puppet armies finally organized some decent counterattacks, even encircling a battalion of the Luzon Army in a small village in the middle of the mountains. Under the command of Jewish officers, the battalion slaughtered hundreds of North Koreans in the village and then used their corpses to form bunkers to defend against devils and puppet soldiers. Those are all compatriots, and there are even puppet soldiers from this village, they can't shoot the corpses of those compatriots, but the devil forced them to shoot, and the result is ...... There was infighting.
The Jewish officers led the indigenous soldiers to watch a bayonet fighting lesson, although the lesson was a bit too realistic, the puppet soldiers were all killed, and only a dozen devils remained. The Jews did a great job of applying what they had learned. Dozens of monkeys against more than a dozen devils, the result of the fight was that the devils were all wiped out, and more than 20 monkeys fell, which made the officers very dissatisfied and reprimanded the natives greatly.
Subsequently, with the acquiescence of Chiang Yunzhi, the Luzon Army retaliated against the resistance forces on Jeju Island, and all areas of Jeju Island, which had advanced 5 kilometers inland from the coastline, were declared hostile zones. At first, the peasants naively thought that the Resistance had nothing to do with them, and continued to fish and farm as usual, but if they did not have to, they tried to go out as much as possible.
But the ferocity in the monkeys' blood was thoroughly aroused, and the rarely tasted taste of the victor made them even more bloodthirsty. The massacre began in the mountainous region of central Hallasan, where 130 of the 300 administrative villages were burned to ashes, and the rest were devastated. Those whose relatives were involved in the riots or who were suspected of being resistance activists were immediately shot, regardless of gender, and the remaining villagers were forcibly taken to live in coastal villages.
The massacre caused the frightened peasants to flee into the mountains, and these people were accused of being resisters, and the Luzon Army sent a division to clear the Halla mountains. Once the hiding place of the Koreans is discovered, the lucky ones are captured and sent to work as laborers, and more often they are gambled in caves and cols as targets for indigenous soldiers to practice guns.
In this regard, Jiang Hei just said lightly: Don't go too far, the corpse must be disposed of, we have to stay on this island for a while.
As a result, a week later, the 300,000 North Koreans on Jeju Island had plummeted to less than 80,000, and most of them were women and children. It was not until the manuscript secretly sent back by the reporter accompanying the army was published in the South China Evening News that the massacre on Jeju Island attracted widespread attention, and His Majesty personally sent a telegram to Jiang Yunzhi under the repeated urging of Haini.
His Majesty's telegram read: The occupying forces should focus on fighting the resistance and try to avoid harming civilians, especially in occupied areas outside of Japan itself.
After receiving the telegram, Jiang Heimian didn't say a word, and threw the telegram directly to the commander of the Luzon Army, the one-eyed general Moses? Dayan. After reading His Majesty's telegram, the young Dayan understood: the massacres outside Japan should be hidden, and after attacking the Japanese mainland, there is no need to hide it!
The expression on Commander Jiang's face remained unchanged when he heard this, but he gently patted Dayan's shoulder, "There is a future!" ”
