Chapter 722: Shinozuka Yoshio's Little Thoughts
Song Wenwan: "The Japanese didn't beat, scold or kill the villagers in Zhi'an Village. They even helped them sweep the floor and fetch water.
They would also recruit a large number of Japanese women from the Japanese mainland for the enjoyment of the stationed Japanese troops.
To prevent them from harassing local women and gaining recognition from local people.”
The deputy commander slammed the table in anger and cursed: "This old devil Okamura is too vicious.
This will surely cause those common people who are unaware of the truth to become alienated from us.
Second, they will launch an advance attack on our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in Shanxi.
In this way, the Japanese can relax and tighten their guard, allowing us to focus our attention on the Shanxi area.
To provide strategic cover for their upcoming May 1st mop-up.
I guess Yoshio Shinozuka from the First Army is cursing right now.
How much courage do we have to give him to attack our base?"
"Hahaha!"
At this point, the bosses in the headquarters all laughed, and the tense atmosphere just now disappeared.
The divisional political commissar continued: "Who says it's not true? The Japanese troops in Shanxi are in a bad shape now.
They may still seem noisy on the surface, but in fact they are already very cowardly.
Every time the Japanese came out to raid, they would try to let people a hundred miles away know two or three days in advance.
Every time I go out, I just take a quick stroll.
Let’s find an empty village and set it on fire, and that will be considered as reporting to Taiyuan.”
Head teacher: "We've scared Yoshio Shinozuka.
I heard that he also secretly sent representatives to find the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone.
It is said that he will retire and return to Japan before the end of this year.
He planned to negotiate a non-aggression agreement with the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone.
If it was necessary to launch an attack in Shanxi, he would inform the Second War Zone in advance.
He also had a bizarre request, asking the Second War Zone to give up some villages, towns, and county towns.
Let both sides attack each other to deal with their respective superiors.
There is another benefit to Yoshio Shinozuka doing this.
Regardless of whether the Japanese were fighting for real or pretending to fight, their casualties could be reported.
If this trick lasts for a year or so, and Shinozuka Yoshio reports a loss of 10,000 or 20,000 people, all the losses that were concealed over the years will be made up."
Deputy Commander: "I was wondering why Shinozuka Yoshio has been competing with the Second War Zone these days.
They are in a three-county area. You occupy one of my counties for ten days, and I take over one of your counties for half a month. It turns out that they are just acting here."
Song Wenwan: "Although the Japanese have taken great advantage in the Pacific and Southeast Asia.
But Yoshio Shinozuka saw clearly that their army had lost its fighting spirit.
Especially their 11th Army in Shanxi, there is no way they can defeat us.
Coupled with his performance in recent years, it is really horrible to watch.
The Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was finally fought, and it was led by a man named Ono Erpi, and had nothing to do with him.
In addition, the Japanese headquarters is dissatisfied with him, and his biggest wish now is to retire safely.
Therefore, this year, as long as he doesn't suffer a major defeat in the war, he can return home safely.
Suo Wuxing also felt that in this way, we can all focus on production and training new recruits with peace of mind.
He acquiesced to the agreement between the war zone commander and Yoshio Shinozuka.
I estimate that in late April this year, Shinozuka Yoshio will tip off the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone."
Deputy Chief of General Staff: "How dare Shinozuka Yoshio expose such important information?"
Song Wenwan: "He definitely won't tell the commander of the war zone about the May Day sweep.
However, the North China Expeditionary Force had already given him the task of launching a feint attack in Shanxi.
No matter what happens, he has to fight a big fight in Shanxi like Anan did.
If this is not communicated with the Second War Zone, the new army and the guerrilla division in the Second War Zone will join forces.
Tsk tsk, I guess we don’t even need the Eighth Route Army to do anything, they can beat the Japanese in the First Army to the point where they can’t take care of themselves.”
Deputy Chief of Staff: "Are the Japanese in Shanxi so bad now?"
Song Wenwan said meaningfully: "The Shanxi devils have lost their spirits, and it will be difficult for Shinozuka Yoshio to lead his team.
This time I came to the headquarters to ask the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to send out a powerful force.
In Zangshan, between Yangquan and Shijiazhuang, they intercepted the troops sent to Hebei by the Kwantung Army.
The First Cavalry Army under Huo Jiaqiang and the Sixth Guerrilla Division were all dispatched.
They will have an "accidental encounter" with two divisions of the Kwantung Army on the grassland.
They will cooperate with this interception operation and try to consume as much of the Japanese's strength as possible before they retreat into the mountains.
Of course, given the capabilities of the Chahar Military Group, whether the Japs can reach the Tibetan mountains is still a question. "
The leaders of the Eighth Route Army headquarters have already realized that turning assists into main attacks is the Red Armed Forces' specialty.
The deputy chief of general staff asked, "Commander Song, what do you think about the future direction of the war?"
Song Wenwan looked at the old leaders, all of whom were looking at her with sharp eyes.
He knew that if he didn't come up with something useful today, the bosses would definitely not let him go.
Song Wenwan was very excited. It was time for her to act smart again.
"I think that this world war is mainly divided into three directions.
The first was the war that took place in Europe, which was also a collision of two ideas.
Neither the counterattack of the Iron Tide nor the final victory of Germany could be completed in two to three years.
The second is the battlefield in the Pacific, which can be said to be a war for plundering resources.
The Japanese now clearly have the upper hand and are defeating the British and American forces.
But these are all illusions, the Japanese's industrial capacity is not enough.
They simply cannot resist the war potential within the United States.
From naval battles, air battles, island battles, and the final landing operations.
This is not something that can be completed within one or two years.
It is likely that the outcome of the war between the United States and Japan will not be determined until the end of the European war.
As for the third direction, we have to talk about our Chinese battlefield.
In fact, China played a vital role in this world war.
The United States, Europe, and Japan all know that the victory of this world war will depend on China's attitude.
If our Chinese army fights to the end, we can effectively hold back the Japanese army.
This would prevent them from attacking the Iron Torrent to the north, and would also cause the Bearded Man to be attacked from both sides.
We also cannot allow the Japanese to move south with confidence to compete with the United States for mineral resources.
If this happens, we will cooperate with the Japanese.
It is possible that the Japanese could equip an army of five to eight million.
If these well-equipped troops marched northward along the long border.
I am afraid that the steel torrent will surrender to artists before the end of the year.
If artists united Europe, they would have the energy of the whole of Europe and their industrial manufacturing capabilities.
The surrender of America is only a matter of time.
Therefore, not only can China's anti-Japanese forces not surrender to the Japanese islands, but they must even fight the Japanese army to the death.
This is why the American observation group came to us.
Just pick the most capable agent.
With their weapons and equipment, we can fight the Japanese to the death for them."
