By this time, the war had already been fought with all its might, and Wuhan and all the largest cities in China had been captured, with the result that the will of the Chinese government and the Chinese army to resist had not weakened, but had become stronger. The most terrifying thing is that China had 3 million troops before the war, and now that the Wuhan Raiders have ended, China still has 3 million troops, maybe more. In particular, the Jiaodong Group Army, which has sprung up as a new force, occupies a larger territory, controls more population, and fights more and more troops. It's also scary.

If this continues, the army will have to adjust its strategy.

Unlike Tani Shouo, Terauchi Shouke was one of the planners of the 100 percent war of aggression against China. He had a very good idea of why he wanted to launch a war of aggression against China and to what extent he would fight it. Now that Gu Shoufu was killed, he was reminded at once that the war between China and China was not as simple as he originally thought, the army's land, sea and air superiority was not so absolute, and the national political axe was not as quickly destroyed or surrendered as originally thought. It seems that it is impossible to quickly destroy China in the short term.

Terauchi, who woke up in shock, seriously reviewed the combat course of the army since the Lugou Bridge Incident, and found that his pre-war judgment of China's situation was very wrong. At that time, intelligence from all sides, including analysis reports, showed that China was a country that was completely rotten from top to bottom, that the warlords had not been eliminated, that corruption was rampant among officials at all levels of the national political axe, that the common people had only a home but no country in their hearts, that they had no sense of identity with the Republic of China, and that they could easily accept foreign rule. As long as the army destroys the main force of the national political axe army and turns the Nanjing political axe into a local political axe, China will soon have a situation of fragmentation and warlords swarming, and at that time, as long as the imperial army exerts its vertical and horizontal striking, coupled with armed strikes, it will be able to quickly integrate all kinds of forces in China and completely control China. Now it seems that this is not the case at all, and the Chinese have formed a new unity in the face of war, and the whole country has resisted.

Terauchi Shou thought about it and felt that the northeast region belonged to Zhang Xueliang's rule at that time, and in the heart of China's political axe, it was a place where the warlords were divided, and they couldn't take it back. Besides, Zhang Xueliang has already returned to the Central Committee, and the chairman has no excuse to go to war with him, so he can only watch him dominate the Northeast. As soon as the army occupies the northeast, the chairman will have an excuse to take back the northeast, and if the army withdraws from the northeast in the future, the northeast will no longer belong to Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army, but will truly belong to China's political axe. Perhaps this is a trap set by Chinese strategists, just as they launched a preemptive attack on the battlefield in Guangdong. The main reason why it is so difficult to fight the Chinese army now is that the Chinese army has invaded the heart of China, which has endangered the survival of the Chinese nation, and they have no choice but to rise up and resist.

Terauchi Shou, the old devil, thought about it and thought about it. Where is that kind of thinking, if he had that kind of thinking, he would have launched an operation to recover the northeast a long time ago, where can Xiao Yueben still occupy the northeast! Shouichi Terauchi overestimated the wisdom and ability of the chairman.

Although he had a misunderstanding of the reasons why the army successfully captured the northeast, Terauchi Shou was very sober about the current war situation, and he knew that it was impossible to imagine that it was impossible to mobilize 700,000 troops to attack Shandong like the last time, because the army had occupied too many places and too much territory, and the local garrison alone would not be enough. In order to eliminate Jiang Qiang's Shandong Military Region, we can't just draw out all the troops stationed in Wuhan, Xuzhou, Kaifeng, and Beiping, right? If that were to happen, I am afraid that the Chinese armies everywhere would take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and all the gains achieved by sacrificing so many elite soldiers in the past year of the war would be in vain. If you want to capture those places again, I'm afraid it will be impossible.

Terauchi Shou thought about it, and felt that the current situation in China was really very delicate, and the army had just captured Wuhan and Huiyang, and the Jiaodong army captured Jinan, and tried Gu Shoufu and Guan Guizhi. If we do not concentrate our forces on attacking Jiang Qiang's Shandong Military Region, and wait for Jiang Qiang to calmly develop in Shandong for a period of time, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with. But if you want to concentrate your forces on eliminating Jiang Qiang, where does that power come from?

Terauchi Shou calculated, after the Kwantung Army drew out three divisions, it was impossible to draw more troops, not to mention preparing for war against Wang Yizhe, just to garrison the northeast, it would also require a huge number of troops. Otherwise, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Eighth Route Army, which had just entered the Northeast, would swell rapidly. This situation must not be allowed to arise. The Central China Dispatch Army, which occupies such a large territory, and faces almost all the main forces of the Nanjing Political Axe Army, can draw out three or four elite divisions at most, and it can't be long enough for the Chinese army to find out. Otherwise, the Nanjing government would definitely organize troops to counterattack.

After calculating it, Shou sighed in the temple, and there was a feeling that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

With the existing strength alone, Terauchi Shou has already made up his mind, no matter what others think, even if he scolds him for shrinking his head as a turtle, he will definitely not act rashly. Because he knew that Jiang Qiang's main force was staring at Dexian and Xuzhou with wolf-like eyes. Haizhou is in three directions, ready to pounce and bite at any time, and make him a big shame again.

Terauchi Shou calmed down and began to draft a secret message to Emperor Hirohito and Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace.

In the secret report, Terauchi Shou pointed out that at this time, the war could no longer be solved by military means alone, and political means must be strengthened. It is necessary to quickly step up the work of luring the chairman of the committee to surrender, and even if the order is unsuccessful, it is necessary to go all out to stir up contradictions between the chairman and the Jiaodong army, and let them fight themselves. At the same time, he urged to speed up the pace of the "Tong Plan", instigate rebellion against politicians with great influence in China, form an authoritative Chinese central power, establish a unified and powerful Imperial Allied Army, and use them to deal with the Jiaodong Army and the Eighth Route Army. In this way, the effect is much better than that of the imperial army, which is unfamiliar with the Chinese.

As for the Shandong operation, Terauchi Shou objectively said that before he gathered a strong force, he mainly attacked and harassed Jiang Qiang's troops with small units to avoid greater losses.

After the live broadcast of the public trial Gu Shoufu, Jiang Qiang's propaganda offensive continued. A film of the solemn trial also began to be shown publicly in Shanghai and Nanjing,

Huang Wei has been a reporter for several years and can be regarded as a senior newspaperman. She is well-known in the Shanghai press circles, has contacts with foreign journalists, and has her own information communication channels.

This girl, whose family is a rubber plantation owner in Nanyang, has received an American-style education since she was a child, and after studying in college, she has learned Western news theories, and she pays attention to the sensational effect of news. That is to say, it is often said that dog bites people is not news, and people bite dogs is news. During her time working in a newspaper in Shanghai, Huang Wei usually wrote manuscripts in accordance with the requirements of her boss, focusing on news selling points and economic benefits, and using news selling points to improve the popularity and subscription of the newspaper. The reason why she went to the base area of the Jiaodong Military Region to interview Jiang Qiang was that the Left League specially organized it in order to expand the influence of the Jiaodong Army, and the other was because she wanted to write a scoop with unique selling points. It was not until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that the war spread all over the country that Huang Wei was truly involved in the news and propaganda of the Anti-Japanese War.

Although she came to Shandong because she wanted to see Jiang Qiang, and she went to the Dadian garrison of the Shandong Military Region, everything she saw in just a few days after arriving in Shandong made her feel novel. Needless to say, the cadre training class and the anti-Japanese war training class made Huang Wei feel new that the Jiaodong Army not only led the people to rise up to resist the war, but also held literacy classes to improve the cultural level of the people, held agricultural science and technology classes to impart agricultural production knowledge, and vigorously advocated women's emancipation and popularized scientific and technological knowledge in the base areas.

What makes her feel even more novel is still to come.

At the Dadian Shandong Bureau and the Shandong Military Region Propaganda Work Symposium, Huang Wei saw Jiang Qiang again, and had the courage to go up several times to pour water for Jiang Qiang, hoping that Jiang Qiang would see her and pay attention to her. As a result, Jiang Qiang's rise to speak, with one hand on his waist and a cigarette in the other, changed his mouth while smoking, his eyes were full of desire for the prospect of victory in the war, and he did not notice Huang Wei, the daughter of our beautiful Nanyang rubber plantation owner, a famous female reporter in Shanghai, and a famous female reporter in Shanghai, who traveled thousands of miles to visit her crush, which made Huang Wei angry. Later, when she saw that what Jiang Qiang said was beyond her previous cognitive level, she honestly sat down and listened carefully, memorized carefully, and pondered carefully.

Hearing this, Huang Wei felt that a magical window had opened in front of her eyes, everything was so fresh and vivid, like Jiang Qiang's saying that literary and artistic propaganda should serve workers, peasants, businessmen, and soldiers, she had not been taught in books in the past, and she had not thought about it. Thinking about this, I feel that Jiang Qiang's formulation is particularly novel, what about literary and artistic propaganda, and news propaganda? Is it to blindly hunt for curiosities and pursue selling points as in the past, or to dig up news clues, write news articles, and expand news influence from the standpoint of the masses of workers and peasants? Needless to say, in the current situation of China's nationwide War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it is obvious that Jiang Qiang's thinking is correct.

Thinking about it like this, Huang Wei's train of thought opened. She immediately realized that what Jiang Qiang put forward was a completely new theory of literary and artistic propaganda, which was the product of his thinking on how to mobilize the people to unite in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and that the tasks of Shandong's propaganda work that he put forward were actually the tasks of the propaganda work in the entire base area. If we conscientiously practice this theory and accomplish the tasks deployed by Jiang Qiang, we may really be able to give a new look to literary and artistic propaganda and news propaganda, and truly play the role that Jiang Qiang said in taking root in the people, awakening the people, uniting the people, relying on the people, and trapping the little devils in the vast sea of the people's war.

After all, Huang Wei is just a hot-blooded young man who loves journalism and is bent on fighting the war of resistance, and there is still a long, long way to go if he wants to truly accept and practice news propaganda in thought and action to serve the masses of workers and peasants.

After the symposium on literary and artistic propaganda work, Huang Wei has been following Wang Hui and her Guangming Daily, and every day she accompanied the reporters of the Shandong Military Region to the troops and to the villages around Dadian to conduct interviews. In this way, the brand-new image of the base area of the Shandong Military Region was transmitted to the rear area, to Shanghai, and to foreign countries through Huang Wei's pen.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Huang Wei has six pure roots in her mind, and she doesn't want Jiang Qiang anymore, the key is that thinking about it is in vain. Jiang Qiang not only has a wife, but also several wives, and he is so busy with work, and the guards are so strict, without Jiang Qiang's notice to see her, she won't even know where Jiang Qiang is.

Women are very sensitive in terms of feelings, Huang Wei is so smart, there is no need to deliberately inquire, from the occasional remarks of newspaper editors and reporters, it can be seen that there are people who want Jiang Qiang, but she is not the only one. Not to mention others, the president of this popular newspaper, the beautiful, elegant, and talented Wang Hui Bacheng is suffering from the same disease as her, just looking at the mention of Jiang Qiang's words, her face will be quietly smeared with a trace of blush, Huang Wei concluded that this is also a girl who secretly likes Jiang Qiang.

Huang Wei stayed in the big store for more than two months. For more than two months, she packed up her thoughts about seeing Jiang Qiang, and plunged headlong into the fiery life of the Anti-Japanese War in the base area, her eyes were full of news materials, her mind was full of new ideas and new feelings, and the number of articles published actually set a record since she started her career.

Huang Wei gave a general name to the newsletter she had written in the past two months, called "War Newsletter", which was serialized in Wen Wei Po. As a result, the story of the Anti-Japanese War, the fresh and beautiful brushstrokes, and the new perspective immediately captured the hearts of readers in the rear and foreign readers, and many newspapers at home and abroad reprinted it one after another, and Huang Wei's fame suddenly grew.

Before Gu Shoufu's trial, in order to expand his influence, arouse more peace-loving people to support China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and push the Western powers to fully implement an economic blockade against the Japanese Empire, Jiang Qiang specially instructed Huang Wei to intervene in advance, consult the criminal evidence collected, and prepare for external propaganda.

Huang Wei traveled from Shanghai to Wuhan and also saw the brutality of Yue Kou. However, she is a female reporter after all, and whether she is in Shanghai or Wuhan, she is basically in a safe environment, and her understanding of the atrocities of the invading army is basically still at the level of newspaper propaganda. Huang Wei was stunned when she contacted the evidence collected by the instructor, and she couldn't imagine that the little devil was dealing with the Chinese in this way.

So, the content of the war communication changed, and it began to expose the crimes of the little devils.

"The Narrative of Lüdian" is a long newsletter of 6,000 words, which exposes the slaughter of Lüdian by the little devils of the Sixth Division in the tone of a 15-year-old boy who escaped from the poisonous hands of the devils in Ludian.

In Huang Wei's depiction, Ludian is a quiet village by the railway. Most of the people here are illiterate, timid and afraid, and they are bent on planting crops, marrying wives, and paying taxes and grain to officials. After the devil occupied Pingjin and eastern Hebei, Tangqiao also set up a maintenance association, and the villagers thought that he was also a human being, and if you want money, I will pay you money, and if you want food, I will pay you food, as long as it is peaceful.

is such a small village with a maintenance society, and it has not escaped the poisonous hands of the little devils.

After Terauchi Shou's order was given, a squadron of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army drove to Ludian. In order to protect the village from being destroyed or less, the maintenance chairman of the village specially organized people to burn two large pots of sorghum tea, and also killed a pig, preparing to comfort the imperial army, and distributed grain and money to each village and household in advance to support the army.

The little devil also drank tea, ate meat, and loaded the grain and money collected in the village into the truck. Just when the chairman thought that he was very loyal and deserved to be commended by the imperial army, the little devil showed a murderous face and began to rob from house to house, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

The ancient Lu shop was crying.

Lu Laocai, the maintenance chairman of the village, was the only big household in the village, and after the little devil entered his house, he first led the mules and horses out, and then began to dig grain. Lu Laocai's two sons stopped the devil and said that his father was the chairman of the maintenance committee and had already paid food to the imperial army, but he was shot to the ground by the little devil twice. Then the little devil dragged Lu Laocai's wife and two daughters-in-law in their fifties into the house, including Lu Laocai's seven-year-old granddaughter.

After the little devil took turns to annihilate Lu Laocai's wife, daughter-in-law, and little granddaughter, he dragged the three generations of women to the yard and tied them down on a wooden stake, and first cut off the three women's with a bayonet

U room, and then began to practice assassination techniques, stabbing the three women into a thousand holes and blurred flesh and blood.

The worst was the seven-year-old granddaughter. After the little devil was annihilated, he poked the little girl into the lower body with a wooden stick and stabbed her to the ground.

Lu Laocai was loading the military rations handed over to the little devil into the car at the maintenance meeting, and was thinking about saying a few beautiful words to send off the imperial army, when he saw that the little devil began to do evil in the village. Lu Laocai, who ran home in a panic, was caught by the little devil, broke his legs, and tied him to the ground, making him watch his wife, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter die tragically under the little devil's gun. That's it, when the devil left, he still smashed Lu Laocai's head into a ball of meat paste with the butt of his gun.

On this day, the ancient and peaceful Ludian was destroyed, and it was destroyed in the hands of the devils who paid their grain and payment.

"The Encounter of an Old Xiucai" is a character newsletter written in the first person, about an old Xiucai surnamed Cao in the late Qing Dynasty near Tai'an, who was the patriarch of the village. Before the Qiqi Incident, they lived with their own people and lived an idyllic life of spring planting and autumn harvest by the Wen River.

After the devils occupied Tai'an, the common people of Tai'an raised an anti-guerrilla force, and the young people in the village were eager to try to follow the guerrillas to fight the devils, but they were all stopped by Cao Laoxiu. The cadres of the Eighth Route Army of the Red Party went to the village to publicize the protest, but they were also rejected by Cao Lao Xiucai. According to Cao Lao Xiucai, he himself is a descendant of the boys and girls who Xu Fudong crossed to seek immortal medicine during the time of Qin Shi Huang, and has the same roots as the Chinese, and they are also firmly believed in Buddhism and are devout Buddhists. As long as they come as guests from afar or as wanderers, they will definitely know how to abide by the law and will not affect the lives of the clansmen, let alone engage in any anti-Japanese activities. Everything is reported and reported, as long as you don't provoke you, will they still beat you?

The little devil really came, and he fled here after being beaten by the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas in the mountains.

Cao Lao Xiucai, who was familiar with poetry and books and believed in cultivating and reading heirlooms, organized his own people to bring out self-brewed sorghum wine, stewed pheasants and rabbits, braised fatty fish caught from the Wen River, entertained the little devils to eat well for two days, and used herbs to help the devils heal their wounded.

The little devil recuperated for two days, recuperated enough, and began to be restless.

The widow Cao in the village was ruined by the captain of the devil team, and Cao Lao Xiucai thought, this widow Cao is not very old, and her appearance is also in the past, seeing that the captain of the devil team is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, as long as he does not marry a wife, it is not impossible to marry Widow Cao to him. Cao Lao Xiucai leaned on crutches, tremblingly went to the captain of the devil brigade and said his thoughts. Unexpectedly, the captain of the devil brigade didn't appreciate it at all, and directly told Cao Lao Xiucai that the Yamato nation is the best nation in the world, how could a second lieutenant of the imperial army marry a pariah as his wife?

Cao Laoxiu, who had touched a gray nose, only then did he feel that the little devil did not understand etiquette, so he tactfully proposed that the village where his clan lived was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the transportation was inconvenient. After all, there are few people in the village, and they can't afford to support the supply of the army.

When the captain of the devil's brigade saw that Cao Laoxiu had given the order to evict the guest, he kicked him to the ground with a single leg and told him viciously that many cities in China were occupied by the imperial army, and Wuhan, Beiping, Tianjin, and Jinan were all occupied by the imperial army. In the future, the whole of China will be the empire, let alone a small mountain village? The old man didn't know each other anymore, and immediately let the whole village die and work.

Cao Lao Xiucai woke up from a dream and knew that the imperial army he encountered was a group of bandits, so he hurriedly and quietly sent the hunters in the village who often went up to the mountains to hunt to find the Eighth Route Army and ask them to rescue the whole village.

It's a pity that Cao Laoxiu woke up too late, and the army had already moved to kill, and immediately started to act.

The soldiers of the Japanese army, armed with rifles with bayonets, went from house to house and escorted all the villagers to the big threshing floor at the head of the village, set up machine guns, and pointed the muzzles of the black holes at the unarmed villagers who had been stewing chicken and fish for the little devils.

The Devil Brigade Captain spoke, which meant that in order to liberate the Chinese people from the brutal Kuomintang regime and poisoning, the Imperial Army launched the Great East Asian Holy War, and has now captured most of China's territory and will soon occupy all of China. However, the imperial army needs the cooperation and support of the Chinese people, specifically in three aspects: one is to set up a maintenance association and a self-defense group for the defense of the Communist Party in the village. The second is that the imperial army needs military rations and military expenses, and the common people enjoy the protection of the imperial army, so they should use their food and money to support the imperial army in the war. The third is that the warriors of the imperial army fight far from home for the benefit of the Chinese, and it is inevitable that they will be lonely when they are free, and the village should choose the flower girl to comfort the imperial army, which does not need too much every day, just pick five. As long as it is guaranteed every day, the imperial army will absolutely guarantee the safety of the villagers.

After the devil's translator translated the words of the devil captain, the villagers exploded immediately, what kind of fucking army is this, it's just a bunch of brutes, so they can say it nakedly.

Looking at the villagers who were shouting, the captain of the devil brigade laughed fiercely, and with a wave of his hand, a group of wolf-like devil soldiers rushed into the crowd, pulled up the few post-spawns with the loudest voices and dragged them out, plopping and plopping a few times, and several off-the-scenes fell under the bayonets of the little devils.

At this moment, the villagers on the big grain field were stunned, and the women and children were so frightened that they cried.

Cao Laoxiu only arrived at this time, and his intestines were all repentant, knowing that it was his own confusion that harmed the whole village. At this time, what he hoped for most was that the Eighth Route Army could arrive quickly and eliminate this group of brutes who ate people's food and talked about people's words. Therefore, he came to the captain of the devil brigade again on crutches, and discussed with the little devil that he was willing to set up a maintenance association and a self-defense group, and he could also donate money and food to the imperial army, but please give the imperial army a face, so as not to spoil the women, that would be more terrible than killing them.

The captain of the little devil team nodded and agreed to Cao Lao Xiucai's request, and asked him and the villagers to take the imperial army to collect money and grain, and the women went home to cook for the imperial army.

Cao Laoxiu thought that his plan to delay time had been concealed from the little devil, and repeatedly mobilized the villagers, asking the old and young masters to look away, money is something outside the body, and it can be earned again if there is no more. As long as he can coax away this group of dog-called beasts and ensure the safety of the villagers, he will thank his ancestors and ancestors for their blessings.

Under the persuasion of Cao Lao Xiucai, the villagers went home to load food and pay for the little devil. At this time, an accident appeared, and the devils who followed the villagers into the courtyard to collect money and grain, and after getting the money and food, they revealed their murderous appearance and began to be forcibly annihilated and slaughtered. Suddenly, the entire village was shrouded in bloody rain.

Cao Laoxiu watched his wife, son, and grandson fall under the guns of the devil, and he couldn't care about scolding the beast anymore, so he turned around and grabbed a handful in the yard? head, slammed into the little devil who was committing violence on his daughter-in-law.

After a gunshot, Cao Laoxiu didn't know anything.

When he woke up again, he was already lying on the bed of the Eighth Route Military Hospital. From then on, there was an additional Cao Laohan anti-Guerrilla force in Culai Mountain. This guerrilla force consisted entirely of the surviving members of Cao Lao Xiucai's clan, both young and old. They carried the guns supported by the Eighth Route Army and carried the land mines made of the stones of Culai Mountain, and were active at the foot of Culai and on the banks of the Wen River, specifically dealing with lone little devils and Han annihilation. Their goal is not high, but they can fight a battle with devils every day, as long as they can kill or injure a devil and annihilate them in each battle.
