In the evening, the small trains, which were filled with the officers and soldiers of the supplementary brigade, entered Wencheng one after another from the direction of Taiyuan; And the wing commander Kosuke Otsuka, who received the new order, also rushed back to Bunjo from Toyden. At the brigade headquarters of the Hagiwara Brigade, Major General Hagiwara personally presided over an important military meeting.

The chief of staff of the brigade, Kawabe Daisa, also took part in the meeting after sending off the Tyumen infantry brigade.

Kosuke Otsuka was first instructed to report the battle losses of his wing. Since the Spring Festival sent troops to Fengdian, up to now, the three infantry brigades under the jurisdiction of the Otsuka Wing have successively clashed with the Shina army many times, and the battle damage is relatively serious, the captain of the first infantry brigade, Fukudaoka Shaosa, was killed, and two other squadron leaders and a deputy squadron leader of the whole squadron were killed; The remaining officers of the rank of second lieutenant and warrant officer were killed in a total of 14 and wounded 17; A total of 581 soldiers were killed and more than 400 wounded.

The atmosphere in the conference room of the brigade headquarters became solemn, and the list of battle losses of Captain Otsuka made everyone feel unprecedentedly depressed, and the brigade commander himself showed a look of sadness and indignation.

The last time the Otsuka Wing suffered such heavy casualties was in a series of battles last year when the Sena Division attacked Niangzi Pass from Hebei. At that time, the infantry supplementary brigade, which followed the main force of the division and regiment, was immediately filled into the various wings, so that the main force on the front line was always fully equipped and provided an important guarantee for the final defeat of the elite of the Central Army in China.

However, in any case, the use of supplementary brigades is not a happy thing after all, because this not only indicates that the main force has suffered large battle losses, but more importantly, the soldiers of those supplementary brigades are often new recruits who have just finished training, and their combat effectiveness is not at the same level as that of experienced veterans.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Sena has just called again to admonish him," Hagiwara said after listening to Kosuke Otsuka's report, "I want the Otsuka Wing to take the lead in replenishing the troops, and emphasized the importance of implementing the Wind Plan, and asked us to sit in Bunjo and make every effort to ensure the absolute safety of the secret camp for comfort women, and immediately start implementing a new secret recruitment plan for comfort women." ”

Kosuke Otsuka immediately stood up and solemnized: "Thank you General Sena for your care and support of my wing!" ”

Unexpectedly, the chief of staff, Kawabe Daisa, sat on a chair and said coldly: "It's not the support for your wing, but because of the importance of the Wind Plan, and the importance of the defense of Wencheng, Songjiagou, and Fengdian." ”

Kosuke Otsuka choked on this, his face turned purple and swollen, and he couldn't stand or sit at the conference table.

Sitting in the corner of the table, Masao Kojima, the head of the Bunjo secret service, couldn't help but secretly have fun, he knew that the chief of staff of the riverside had always been disdainful of Captain Otsuka, and he himself was very disgusted with Wing Captain Osa's rude arbitrariness after his recent dealings with Kosuke Otsuka.

The chief of staff of the riverside then began to speak. He proposed that in addition to filling the Otsuka Wing with a supplementary brigade, an independent infantry brigade should be kept in Bunjo to strengthen the defense of the railway station and the nearby railway line.

The brigade commander Hagiwara Akira pondered for a moment and agreed: Wencheng is now the general rear of the entire Sena Division, and it is also the hub of the Tongpu Railway, connecting Junling and Taiyuan in the north, and Hongdong and Linfen in the south, which is of great strategic significance; As a railway city with a population of nearly 100,000, the law and order force also needs to be strengthened.

After some agreement, the meeting determined a new defense command system of Wencheng, Songjiagou and Fengdian——

Wencheng, an independent infantry brigade commanded by the brigade chief of staff, Kawabe Daisa, was responsible for the defense of the whole city; The Iwata Cavalry Squadron (Squadron Leader Iwata Shaosa) was placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Brigade Headquarters to assist in the defense of Wencheng Castle; The 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Otsuka Wing (Captain Nara Shosa) was stationed in the suburbs of Bunjo;

The east and west passes of Little Elm Mountain and the Yamauchi Highway were defended by Aso Nakasa, deputy commander of the Otsuka Wing, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the Otsuka Wing (Captain Aikawa Shosa) under the command of the Otsuka Wing; The Separate Mountain Artillery Squad assisted in the defense. The Songjiagou Railway Station and the secret camp for comfort women were defended by the Pingjing Military Police Squadron;

Fengdian, by the wing commander Otsuka Daisa, commanded the first brigade of the wing (the new captain Nomura Shaosa) was responsible for the defense, and the Mongolian Cavalry Regiment (regiment commander Du Dongqiang) assisted in the defense.

The brigade commander, Major General Hagiwara Akira, sat in Bunjo and was responsible for overall command; The head of the secret service, Masao Kojima, assisted.

The Japanese troops on the "three-point-one-line" immediately began to intensively replenish and change their guards.

At the end of the brigade military meeting, the head of the Hagiwara Akira Brigade left behind the head of the secret service, Masao Kojima, and the head of the military police, Teriichi Hirai. They're going to keep having a little meeting.

Masao Kojima and Hirai Teriichi only attended the military meeting just now and did not speak, the purpose of which was to ask the two of them to have a detailed grasp of the deployment of troops at the three points and one line of Wencheng, Songjiagou, and Fengdian. At this moment, there were only three people left in the conference room, and the brigade commander, Major General, let the two people start to speak freely. They discussed the next step in the implementation of the "Wind Plan", a new plan for the secret forced recruitment of comfort women in the local area.

The head of the gendarmerie, Hirai Teriichi, elaborated on his plan: with the county seat of Toyodian as the center, and the collective sexual assault incident of the Otsuka United as the background, carry out the family investigation and registration of the women who were sexually assaulted; Then, under the pretext of resettlement and compensation, the above-mentioned women were collected and secretly imprisoned in the Songjiagou comfort women's secret camp.

Before Hiraiji finished speaking, Hagiwara Akira had already realized that this should be a copy of the plan to solicit comfort women implemented in Taiyuan last time!

The head of the secret service objected on the spot:

"It's a pity, Mr. Captain, I don't think it's a good idea, you shouldn't be the so-called Jiang Lang of the Zhina, right?"

Hirai Temple looked at Masao Kojima in surprise, and then looked at the face of the brigade commander Major General on the side.

The commander of the small island office did not give the other party a chance to seek support from the brigade commander, and made an endless conclusion: "You must know that this seems to be just a simple repetition of what was done in Taiyuan, and it will not work at all in Fengdian. In Taiyuan, the object you are looking for is only a case of the decoration of an isolated Imperial Army soldier who sexually assaulted a woman in China. However, the massacre that occurred in Fengdian was a collective sexual assault by an entire team. The two are very different in nature. ”

Hagiwara Akira nodded slightly, and Masao Kojima's point of view coincided with his.

Masao Kojima, who noticed the statement of the brigade commander, became more and more tough: "The massacre and collective sexual assault caused by the Otsuka Wing in Fengdian were later widely reported by the radio and newspapers of the Shina people, which had a bad impact on the brigade and even the division. We should do our utmost to avoid and downplay this incident. But you, Mr. Captain, are inclined to make a fuss about this incident, which is tantamount to forcibly uncovering a scar that is already about to heal, and making it bleed again! ”

Hiraiji blushed. The captain of the gendarmerie, who had just been promoted to Nakasa, of course, also noticed the attitude of the commander of the Hagiwara Brigade, Major General, and he immediately felt a sense of shame and resentment. In particular, the head of the island organ, who spoke mercilessly, had repeatedly spoken out against himself. This plan is indeed an attempt to play a trick and copy the successful experience of Taiyuan. But the damned head of the Wencheng secret service sentenced him to death with one mouth.

Hagiwara noticed the embarrassment caused by Masao Kojima to the captain of the gendarmerie, he knew in his heart the personal emotions of the head of the secret service, and at the same time he didn't want to embarrass Hirai Teraichi too much, so while calling someone into the conference room to take care of the tea, he stood up and walked to the back of Hirai Terai's chair, and patted him on the shoulder very casually:

"Hirai-kun, I appreciate your hard work and efforts; However, what the head of the island office said is reasonable, and we can't easily expose the scars of the Fengdian collective sexual assault incident. It would be better for it to be forgotten by the world. ”

Hirai Teraichi hurriedly stood up, and Limasa shouted "Hi Babble".

The brigade commander, Major General, motioned for the other party to sit down, and then asked Masao Kojima: "So, what suggestions does Captain Kojima have for the implementation of the Wind Plan in the next step?" ”

Masao Kojima pondered for a moment, deliberately not looking at the eyes of the two people, and said word by word: "In Wencheng, there are two custom places opened by the Shina people, is it possible to start from there?" ”

The so-called custom place of the head of the secret service is the Japanese term for a pornographic place.

Sure enough, this unexpected point of view immediately attracted the attention of the other two people, and at this moment, they both stared straight at the head of the Wencheng secret service.

"It's ridiculous to say that under my rule, there is a brothel named by the Chinese in the Red Mansion, where I dealt with a conflict involving Imperial Army officers just the other day."

The commander of the Hagiwara Akira Brigade knew what Kojima Masao said: Several officers of the Independent Tank Wing of the North China Front Army visited the headquarters of the Sena Division and were ordered to discuss the matter of sending two tank brigades to support the Nantongpu Road operation.

Because it involved the front army headquarters, Masao Kojima, who rushed to deal with the case after hearing the news, reported to Hagiwara Akira afterwards. Therefore, the brigade commander, Major General, is no stranger to this.

Unexpectedly, after hearing about Kojima Masao's intention to recruit comfort women from a brothel run by the Shina people, Hirai Teriichi, who had been repeatedly suppressed by the other party, finally found a chance to fight back. He pointed out with righteous indignation that the prostitutes in the brothels of the Chinese were filthy, and that after being exhausted by their fellow Chinese people, they were not at all fit to serve the valiant samurai of the Imperial Army. It's not just a matter of reputation, but the potential pitfalls, including the spread of the disease, are enormous.

At this time, the brigade commander, Major General, again felt that what the commander of the gendarmerie had said was reasonable. Teriichi Hirai finally got a point back from the head of the secret service he hated.

"So, two," Hagiwara asked anxiously, "who can tell me where we're going to recruit the right Shina women?!" ”
