Chapter 368: Fierce Reaction (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes, Asking for Various !! )
The establishment of the Wang puppet regime and the signing of the traitorous pact aroused great indignation among the entire Chinese people, who rose up one after another to denounce it, and the highest voices were the Nationalist Government headed by Lao Jiang and the Saibei Provincial Government headed by Chen Feng.
On November 21, the Saibei Provincial Government issued a public statement, denying the legitimacy of Wang's puppet regime, and at the same time openly crusading against Wang's puppet regime, and released the list of traitors who must be killed by the Saibei Provincial Government and the Eighth War Zone.
The Saibei Provincial Government, the Eighth War Zone, and Chen Feng himself declared that all the people who were famous on this list of traitors and those who appeared on this list of traitors in the future were the mortal enemies of him and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the entire Eighth War Zone, and they would be killed when they saw it, and the Eighth War Zone would do whatever it took to get rid of them by any means, which was a naked threat.
Such a fierce reaction in the Eighth War Zone made the patriots in China applaud one after another, and also silenced the traitors of Wang's puppet government. They can ignore other people's threats, but anyway, since they dare to risk the world's condemnation to be traitors, they will not care about other people's opinions.
But the threat of the Eighth War Zone can't be taken seriously, not to mention the huge number of land forces in the Eighth War Zone, the elusive hoe team alone is enough to give those traitors a headache, and now the traitor in North China dares to show his head. Unless you don't want to live anymore. According to incomplete statistics, in the past two years, there have been no less than 1,000 traitors of all sizes who have died at the hands of Chen Feng's hoe and traitor team, including ordinary second-devil maintenance presidents, as well as pseudo-mayors, division commanders and other senior military and political officials.
Chen Feng can't do this, because he knows how much the negative impact of Wang's puppet regime on China is. First of all, politically, it greatly shook the determination and confidence of the people of the whole country to resist the war. The common people don't know about major national affairs, but there is one thing they know, even high-level leaders like Wang Jingwei have defected to the enemy, is China really going to die? For a while, the whole country was panicked?
And Wang Jingwei also put forward that disgusting surrender theory. The consequence of this was that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there was a situation in which "the surrender of troops was like a tide, and the surrender of generals was like Mao". Instead of frontal and stubborn resistance, relying on economic or financial resources to inflict blows and irresistible damage on the enemy, this theory of "saving the country by curve" has completely violated the criterion of saving the country by curves, and is not saving the country at all. It's a traitor!
Of course, this is exactly what the Japanese are trying to achieve. Wang Jingwei does have such appeal. In addition, the greatest danger to the establishment of the Wang puppet regime is still in the military field. Before the establishment of the Wang puppet regime, although the Japanese army formed a part of the puppet army, due to various factors, the establishment of the puppet army was very scary. But in fact, they are all hollow big turnips, and there are no empty numbers but not many soldiers, just like the basic tactical unit regiment of the puppet army, there are only 8 or 900 people in the better ones, and there are even only 100 people in the worse ones, not to mention that they are compared with the regular army of the Nationalist Government, and even the small regiments of the Eighth Route Army are not comparable.
However, after the establishment of the Wang puppet regime, due to the control of this "unified" puppet regime, the Japanese army can be said to have no worries about the recruitment and formation of the puppet army, so the number of puppet armies has increased dramatically since then, which is well documented in history.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941, the scale of the war expanded unprecedentedly, and in the face of the fierce counteroffensive of the US army, the strategic focus of the Japanese army gradually shifted, and the "Southern Army" became the most elite strategic group. In order to counter the possible landing of US troops on the mainland, the "domestic army" has also inflated itself unprecedentedly through general mobilization. All the elite divisions of the Kwantung Army and most of the main divisions of the "Chinese Dispatch Army" were transferred to the Pacific to strengthen the "Southern Army" and the "Domestic Army" and become strategic reserves. After that, the "Chinese Dispatch Army" had only 27 divisions and regiments, while the "Southern Army" and the "Domestic Army" totaled about 120 divisions and regiments, accounting for not only 70% of the total number of divisions and regiments of the Japanese Army, but also gathered most of the elite divisions and regiments. By the end of the war, the total number of Japanese troops was 7.2 million, of which 1.05 million were "Chinese troops", less than 15%; The Kwantung Army surrendered to the Soviet army 680,000, accounting for 9%. In the Pacific theater, the "Southern Army" and the "Domestic Army" surrendered to the Allied forces led by the United States and the United States combined, accounting for about 5.5 million, accounting for 76%. It can be seen from this that in the deployment of the Japanese military headquarters, the Chinese battlefield is not the main battlefield of the Japanese army, and the troops put on the Chinese battlefield have not been its elite divisions since the outbreak of the Pacific War.
But even so, why did the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which had millions of troops, fail to end the domestic war early? On many occasions of fighting, the Chinese are not fighting with the Japanese, but the Chinese are fighting the Chinese, or the Chinese's "singles" are fighting against the Chinese and the Japanese "mixed doubles", and the part of the Chinese who fight with both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is the puppet army, and their numbers are huge. Therefore, the common people said: "As soon as the mine sounded, three devils and eighteen puppet soldiers were killed." ”
In fact, this kind of thing was not a new thing as early as the beginning of the war, and such a scene was often seen during the Battle of Songhu - the army of the puppet Manchukuo rushed in front of the tank, and the Japanese army followed behind the tank, wearing the same military uniform and using the same weapons. It was only after they were captured that the Chinese soldiers knew that these tall men were from the northeast on the banks of the Songhua River.
With the expansion of the war, the Kuomintang armed forces behind enemy lines began to decline sharply, and a large number of newly purchased troops defected to the enemy, resulting in a situation in which "officials were demoted like Mao and generals were demoted like a tide." For a time, there were many signboards and different hills, such as the Public Security Army, the Xingya Allied Army, the Mongolian Army, the Suppression of the Communist Army, the Imperial Allied Army, the Anti-Communist Army, the Appeasement Autonomous Army, the Joint Defense and National Salvation Army, the Peaceful Founding Army, and the Suimeng Allied Army......
This kind of trend must be stopped, and the best way to do it is to make an example of the traitors, so that the traitors can touch their heads when they are traitors, and see if the guy they are eating is still there.
After the establishment of the Wang puppet regime, it was not Chen Feng who was most annoyed by this, but Lao Jiang in Chongqing. After the lip service was finished, Lao Chiang took substantive action, so Lao Chiang issued N assassination orders, and the notorious Kuomintang secret services finally showed their skills on the foreign battlefield.
When it comes to the strength of the Kuomintang secret services, this is by no means comparable to that of the CCP, which is still in its growth stage. At its peak, the military command had a well-armed and well-trained traffic police brigade of about 102,000 operatives and paramilitary officers. The power has penetrated into all levels of party and government, military, education, culture, and policing.
Throughout the Second World War, the military command was the largest and most efficient intelligence agency in the world, and it was also the most advanced intelligence agency in telecommunications decipherment technology. At that time, the CIA's predecessor, the U.S. Strategic Intelligence Service (OSS), was just getting started. There are two divisions in the Military Command Bureau, the first is responsible for party affairs investigation, and Xu Enzeng (Huangpu Phase 4) is the director; The second department is the Special Service Division, with Dai Li as the director. In September 1938, the second department was upgraded to the "Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government", which was still under the control of Dai Li, and included the Military Intelligence Department, the Party and Government Intelligence Department, the Telecommunications Intelligence Department, the Police Department, the Disciplinary Department, the Training and Counterterrorism Department, the Special and Psychological Operations Department, and the Special Technology Research and Application Department. During the Anti-Japanese War, the agents of the military command went deep into the occupied areas during the Anti-Japanese War and created activities against the Japanese army.
Although he is a spy leader, Dai Li's political thinking about resisting Japan is very clear. Before the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang members held a meeting in Nanjing, and when the meeting was adjourned, there was a lot of discussion, and Dai Li said very firmly to the others, this time we must fight. Kuomintang veteran Wu Zhihui asked him, weapons and economy are so far behind, what to fight? Dai Li said: "The mourning soldiers will win, and the pigs are full and waiting for the New Year to be independent." This sentence greatly shocked other Kuomintang people, and later became a classic idea of the military commanders to resist Japan.
The performance of the military commanders in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was closely linked to the fate of China at that time. According to post-war statistics, more than 18,000 of the official registered personnel and cadets of the Military Command Bureau died in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and many more of the other affiliated personnel died in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In any case, from the standpoint of the aggressors, the tactics adopted by the Japanese were correct and effective, and as soon as the Wang puppet regime they fostered was established, the problems existing in Chinese society and those of the Kuomintang authorities became superficial and became more and more prominent.
However, after all, the Chinese nation is not as weak and easy to bully as Japanese imperialism imagined. At the critical moment when the nation is in peril, there are many scum who betray the country to seek glory and become corrupt and treacherous, but compared with the entire Chinese nation, they are after all a very small minority. Although the harm is not light, after all, it is difficult to turn things around, and it can only arouse great indignation and fighting spirit among the people.
This can be seen from the national government from the people in Yan'an, and it can be seen in the people of the whole country. In the traditional Chinese culture, the spirit of "mighty and unyielding", the sense of historical mission of "the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible" and the national integrity of "no one has died in life since ancient times, leaving behind the heart and sweat", the Chinese nation performed a brilliant historical drama in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Under the overall situation of such impetuous and restlessness, Chen Feng believed that it was necessary to fight a hearty victory in order to re-boost the morale of the War of Resistance and smash the conspiracy of the Japanese, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, the early establishment of Wang's puppet regime also made Chen Feng see the weakness of the Japanese, and the huge material consumption finally made the Japanese unbearable, and embarked on the road of destruction in advance. (To be continued......)
