Intelligence is the key to defeating the enemy, and accurate and timely intelligence support is indispensable for a successful military operation.

In ancient times, there was a saying that "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles" was also said later, "the commander used all possible and necessary reconnaissance means to extract the crude and refined enemy situation obtained from reconnaissance, and to eliminate the false and retain the true...... Therefore, it constitutes the ideological guidance of judgment, determination, and planning".

Before engaging in the pursuit operation, the Yiluan Division also needs to find out the enemy's situation and formulate a specific strategy.

At the same time, because the area for which the 7th Division is responsible for public security is too large, there will be almost no available mobile forces after it is evenly spread. Therefore, Zhou Changfeng took the initiative to ask for Ying to apply for the 1st Marine Regiment to cooperate with the Yiluan Division to pursue and suppress the remaining resistance troops.

The application was quickly approved by Nie Quan.

However, for almost the entire month of April, more than 200 officers and men of the Yiluan Division, who arrived in Tokyo, were conducting adaptation training and gathering known information, and they were slow to dispatch.

The situation on Honshu Island also deteriorated in the past 20 days, after the rapid landing of the Ming army in March and crushing the resistance, the central government of the Japanese state and the feudal towns in various places showed their obedience, and there was not much resistance in various places, which can be called "calm and calm".

However, as the time came to April, perhaps with sufficient buffer and reaction time, resistance movements broke out in full swing across the island, and large and small resistance forces sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Today's three units, tomorrow's five units, and more and more new enemy situations have overwhelmed the Third Army and the General Command of the Second Army, so the dispatch of the Yiluan Division has been delayed again and again.

From Yamaguchi Prefecture in the southwest to Iwate Prefecture in the northeast, the island of Honshu, which is more than 2,000 miles long, can be described as a series of beacons.

With a small number of people and poor equipment, they ambushed the heavy baggage teams of the Ming army, or attacked the lone soldiers.

If you have a large number of people and are well equipped, then try to besiege the town, and fight more and less, it is not impossible to succeed.

For a time, there were reports of engagement or calls for help everywhere.

Obviously, the central and local feudal towns of the Wa Kingdom have already bowed down respectfully, how can there be so many rebellions?

The soldiers were depressed, because in this case, the troops would not be able to return to their home countries in early May, as previously planned.

The generals were also extremely annoyed, anxious and irritable.

“…… Yesterday, the 19th Regiment reported three battles and 18 casualties; The 20th Regiment suffered 26 casualties four times; The 39th Regiment of the 13th Division suffered three casualties once......"

"These rebels who don't know what to do! Damn it! ”

"Yes, since ancient times, barbarians have been afraid of power but not virtuous, and I think that if they don't kill people, they will never have a long memory."

Many of the generals who participated in the regular meeting had violent tempers, and this kind of annoying local rebellion was really outrageous.

It can be said that during this period, most of the 100,000-strong Ming troops of the two armies scattered on Honshu Island were fighting violence with blood, and the collateral damage to local civilians was very great.

Obviously, such an act would only increase the hostility of those who were otherwise on the sidelines or indifferent, which would make the situation even worse.

Such a vicious circle is naturally something that Zhou Changfeng does not want to see, and there are also some calm and insightful officers who believe that it is necessary to suppress and appease in parallel, and try to avoid collateral damage.

However, the proposal of only a few people naturally could not extinguish the anger of the Ming soldiers, and the casualties of his subordinates and comrades caused many people to feel a high sense of revenge.

The Ming army, where nationalism was prevalent, was extremely sensitive to this—how could the despicable Fanbang Japanese invaders dare to commit such a rebellion? This requires the lesson of blood.

The brutal struggle continued until late April, and the General Command seemed to have forgotten that there was still an elite squad on standby?

It wasn't until the morning of the 27th that Yiluan finally received the order that he had been waiting for—to order your troops to leave for Shizuoka immediately, intending to intercept a group of enemies rushing westward.

Due to the tight capacity, in addition to the three transport planes, part of the Yiluan Division had to be crammed into the bomb bay of the bomber.

As soon as the plane landed, they rushed to the dock without stopping.

The friendly forces stationed in Shizuoka were the 38th Regiment of the 13th Division, and while the main force of Yiluan Division set up the camp, Cai Zhichen, who attached great importance to the first mission, personally led the reconnaissance team to set off.

The Oi River originates in the northern mountains and flows through Shizuoka into the sea. More than 30 of them took four small motorboats and traveled north through the river to check the terrain and track down clues.

"His grandmother's legs! Tell me honestly, if you dare to fool people, you guys will be slaughtered! ”

On the side of a dirt road in front of a village, a dozen peasants with turbans and hats gathered together, all dressed in tatters, and the village house (village chief) was slightly better, at least there were no patches.

More than a dozen soldiers of the 38th Regiment and dozens of Shizuoka Prefectural Police were interrogating the Resistance as they had received reports that several armed men had passed through the area.

A short, middle-aged man said with a sneer: "My lord, they say that they don't know that in recent days, there has been a shortage of soldiers, and there are often routs and robbers. ”

"Really?" The sergeant who led the team sneered and waved his order: "Go in and search, be careful." ”

The military and police rushed into the village, drove all the villagers out of the houses, and then began to search from house to house.

Because the government openly obeyed the Ming Dynasty, it was only natural that the original public officials should cooperate with the actions of the suzerain, whether it was the army or the police, the Ming Dynasty had to do whatever the Ming Dynasty wanted.

Without the cooperation of the Shizuoka Prefectural Police, the 38th Regiment, which was overstretched, would really not be able to smoothly carry out the task of maintaining public order and stability.

As the wolf-like military police began to search, it can be described as chickens and dogs jumping for a while!

The villagers looked at them nervously because several wounded resistance soldiers were actually being taken in.

Although the movements of the soldiers are large and golden, they are thick and thin, and they do not let go of any corner that is convenient for Tibetans.

"Grass! There was ......"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

Shouts and gunshots rang out suddenly, startling the surrounding military police and villagers.

After the chaos, two of the four resistance soldiers hiding in the village were killed, and the other two were captured; There was also a soldier here who was injured in the thigh by a bullet, but unfortunately, the bullet broke an artery in his leg, which can be described as a miracle that cannot be saved.

The spurting of red blood was like an open faucet, and the others hurriedly opened the first aid kit and pressed hard with the bandage.

The white bandage was dyed blood-red in an instant, but the blood still flowed out uncontrollably.

The rushing medic pushed the others away, and the blood gushed like a shaken soda and unscrewed the cap!

"Hold here! Groin! Hold, hold, press! ”

He beckoned another person to help press on the upper end, then pulled out the hemostat in the aluminum first aid kit and tried to find the broken artery.

But the wound was completely soaked in blood, and blood continued to flow out, and the eager medical staff could not catch the bleeding point. He guessed that the ruptured artery might have retracted a little, so he had to try to break the incision and try little by little.

The wounded soldier is not very old, only eighteen or nineteen years old, how can he endure the severe pain caused by such a pickpocketing wound?

But now it's really a race against death, he's losing blood at a rate of nearly ten milliliters per second, and he doesn't have the slightest time to get painkillers.

In a cry of pain, blood soaked his pants, and the red water that had accumulated under his body slowly spread to the surroundings, getting bigger and bigger......

With blood loss exceeding 1,000 milliliters, hemorrhagic shock inevitably set in – the face was pale, the eyes were glazed, and the screams gradually faded away.

The surrounding soldiers stared blankly, except for the medics, who were still intently and trying their best to find the ruptured artery.

Eventually, by the time he managed to clamp it with a hemostat and fasten the small steel clamp, there was already a large pool of blood on the ground.

The warm blood soaked the soil of the foreign land, and the breathing and heartbeat of the young soldier stopped.

"Little Leizi ......"

"The snort is gone."

"Arterial hemorrhage, eight out of ten can't be saved."

Some of the grief-stricken soldiers sighed, some stomped their feet, and some glared angrily at the nearby villagers.

The sergeant who led the team was a big man with a national face, and at this moment he couldn't help but get angry, turned around and kicked down the forty-year-old Zhuang House, and then kicked it one after another.

"Your special mother's is a thief, a thief, a rebel, and a head!" He cursed as he snatched a rifle with a bayonet from the soldier beside him and stabbed it straight to the ground.

The white blade went in and the red blade came out, and the Zhuang house, who was lying on the ground, struggled a few times to hold the wound on his chest and then lost his breath.

The bayonet was still dripping with blood, and the sergeant returned the rifle to the soldier next to him.

More than a dozen men and women knelt down in horror and begged for mercy, and the wife of the village house cried and threw herself at the corpse, whimpering miserably.

The sergeant was still angry, he gasped, his chest heaved heavily, and he yelled hysterically: "Isn't this self-inflicted?!" Why lie to us?! What's in it for you?! You say! Say! Isn't it good to have two lives in one body?! I don't know what to do! ”

The interpreter is the third son of a small local businessman, who has been ruffian and unprofessional since he was a child, but because his father often does business with foreigners, he also learned Chinese and English, so when the Ming Dynasty came, he happily became a military guide and translator.

He trembled and translated the words into Japanese, but the villagers around him did not react, just knelt and fell silent.

At this time, someone came running quickly and reported that a team of teammates was approaching from outside the village, and the soldiers relented.

The Yiluan Division Detective Team was originally going up the river in a motorboat, but after hearing the gunshots, they quickly landed on the shore.

When Cai Zhichen, who was holding the rank of major, appeared, the soldiers of the 38th Regiment here thought that they had lost their eyes - what was going on? How could a major come to such a place in person?

The Yiluan Division is nominally a guard of honor, but when they actually operate, they wear a brown base of rank - this is the color of the Scouts.

The sergeant leaned over slightly, clenched his fists and said: "Report, the first battalion and the second team of the 38th Regiment of the 12th Division of the Humble Duty Department were ordered to pursue the rebellious stragglers here. ”

"You caught those two?"

"Exactly."

"It's hard work, you can rest for a while."

Cai Zhichen waved his hand, and then a soldier stepped forward and rudely dragged the two wounded resistance soldiers who were captured alive and forced them to kneel.

The process of asking is very simple, what is the position, how many troops are there, what are the whereabouts, and so on.

The two of them either kept silent or replied bluntly that they didn't know.

Cai Zhichen, who thought he was more self-contained, took a deep breath and asked patiently, "Don't want to answer?" Okay, then let me ask, why are you two against our country? ”

One of them remained silent, and the other, after hesitation, said hatefully, "You raped my sister!" She... Crazy, I want revenge, that's it! ”

The interpreter carefully translated this answer, for fear that the "big official" would be angry.

Cai Zhichen was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and said calmly: "This is indeed an irreconcilable contradiction, I understand." But... What about the others? Did they all swear revenge for similar reasons? ”

"No, it's only part of the story."

Why did those people rebel? What is the original intention and demand? ”

"They...... Most of them just don't want to be enslaved by your Ming people. ”

"Slavery? How ridiculous. Cai Zhichen frowned and said, "Aren't you enslaved before the Westerners are driven away?" Now that our country is the suzerain, the worst is the same as before. ”

At this moment, the wounded man, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, and the young man with round glasses said coldly: "Europeans are the world's leaders, very good, and we have been trying to learn from them for decades. As for you Mingren, you are just a bunch of conservative, ignorant, arrogant people, good for nothing, who won by luck forty years ago by virtue of their size......"

As he spoke, the little man's translator was nervous, almost a few words.

A detachment leader really couldn't hold back, and slapped the glasses young man who was kneeling on the ground with his backhand, "Fuck you, your mouth is full of farts!" ”

Cai Zhichen stared at him expressionlessly, and suddenly said, "You should have read a lot of books." ”

"I used to be a teacher at Shizuoka Prefectural Junior High School."

"Oh, it looks like you've read too little, or... Read it in vain. You only see the present, you can't see the past, in the long history of thousands of years, the glorious outbreak of Western civilization is only 200 years, which is nothing, before that, the sum of the strong periods of all dynasties and dynasties is far greater than this 200 years. Cai Zhichen said.

After speaking, he smiled contemptuously and said lightly: "Mocking us? Your ancestors are much more pragmatic than you, do you know that the Tang envoys are sent? ”

"In any case, at least you are nowhere near as good as the Europeans now." The young man with round glasses replied persistently.

"There's nothing to argue about, I'll spare your life." Cai Zhichen waved his hand and said lightly: "There will be a big war in recent years, wait and see, I want to see if you will be so tough at that time." ”

Both Resistance wounded were re-bandaged and tied up by the soldiers.

After some exchanges and comparisons, Cai Zhichen was sure that the defeated and fleeing resistance army would pass through this vicinity, so he ordered the rest of the troops to rush to converge.

Damn, there's something wrong with the hard disk of the computer.,Tossing and turning for an afternoon still to no avail.,I was going to start drawing maps......
