my bright sword career

Chapter 202 Surprised

Ishihara Waner turned his head to look at Mitsuo Nakazawa, with a strange expression on his face, "Mr. Nakaze, do you think 4000 people died a lot?"

"I……"

Sanfu Nakazawa was stunned for a while, and didn't know how to answer for a while?
Are the casualties of more than 4000 people a lot?

If you look at it from the perspective of a brigade leader, the brigade has already suffered nearly half of its casualties, and can go back to China for repairs according to the regulations. nothing

Seeing Sanfu Nakazawa's troubled face, Ishihara snorted softly, "Mr. Zhongze, you are also an old man of the Sixteenth Division. If I remember correctly, you were already in Nanjing when Nanjing was captured in 37." Is the Sixteenth Division in service?"

Sanfu Nakazawa's expression froze, and he nodded slowly: "Yes."

Ishihara smiled and continued: "Back then, under the leadership of Mr. Nakajima, the Sixteenth Division massacred the Chinese prisoners and civilians who had put down their guns. You must be aware of that, right?"

Now Mitsuo Nakazawa's expression became ugly. Many Japanese troops participated in the Nanjing Massacre, a total of seven or eight divisions. But if you want to say who killed the most, the No.16 division said the second, so there is no one. People dare to admit that they are the first.

The Nanjing Massacre caused great sensation and shock in the world, so it didn't take long for the No. 16 Division Commander Nakajima Konzago and the Sixth Division Commander Tani Hisao to be transferred from their posts and put into the reserve service.

The No.16 Division also became notorious because of this. Now that Ishihara Waner brought up the old story again, Mitsuo Nakazawa's face naturally became very ugly.

Seeing Sanfu Nakazawa's unnatural expression, Ishihara smiled faintly: "Mr. Nakaze, the reason I bring up the old story again is not to make fun of you, but to ask you something. Back then, you massacred 30 people in Nanjing. When we were soldiers and civilians in China, did you ever think about killing too many people?"

"This is..."

Mitsuo Nakazawa frowned, not knowing how to answer.

In fact, this answer does not need to be answered, because since Japan defeated the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty and gained an absolute advantage over China, the Japanese ruling and opposition parties no longer regard China as an opponent, and the Japanese army has also begun to educate the soldiers at the bottom. That is to no longer regard Chinese soldiers and civilians as human beings, but as creatures similar to animals.

Don’t think it’s incredible. In another historical time and space, after Japan’s defeat, some Japanese veterans who participated in the Nanjing Massacre were interviewed. That’s what those veterans told reporters.

Before participating in the massacre, his superiors told him not to treat the Chinese people as human beings, but as animals, so don’t feel any burden about killing them.

Take a look, this is the mentality of those in power in Japan towards China at that time.

As a mid-to-senior military officer, Mitsuo Nakazawa certainly knows about these tricks in the army, but it is difficult to say these things in public without changing them.

"Okay, Mr. Nakaze, if you can't answer, then don't say it." Ishihara Waner stopped Mitsuo Nakazawa who was hesitating to speak.

"Mr. Nakazawa, I have said long ago that once the Empire of Japan and China start an all-out war, it cannot be resolved quickly.

China's land area is dozens of times that of the empire, and its population is six or seven times that of the empire. Only a fool like Sugiyama Moto would clamor for three months to solve the China issue. "

Hearing this, Sanfu Nakazawa could only shake his head and smile wryly, and only Ishihara Waner dared to criticize the Chief of Staff and Field Marshal of the Empire so unscrupulously.

Realizing that this guy can no longer be allowed to comment unscrupulously on the high-level of the empire, Mitsuo Nakazawa quickly changed the subject, "Your Excellency, division commander, you haven't given me the answer yet."

"Answer?" Ishihara smiled bluntly, "Didn't I tell you? Since you killed 30 Chinese people in Nanjing back then, you took it for granted. You can't bear it if we only killed more than 4000 people. Is it possible? Do you think that war is just a play, that we only need to kill people, and no one else is allowed to kill us?"

"This one……"

Sanfu Nakazawa fell silent, not because what Ishihara Waner said was unreasonable, but because it was too reasonable.

Yes, who stipulated that only they can kill Chinese people, and Chinese people are not allowed to kill Japanese.

Ishihara stared at him with a smile and said word by word: "Mr. Nakazawa, you have to remember that this is a life-and-death war. If you win the Great Japanese Empire, you can become the world's top country, even Britain and the United States It can be stepped on, and it can even lay the foundation for the next hundred years of the Great Japanese Empire.

If it is defeated, the Japanese Empire will fall into the abyss in one fell swoop, and it will not be able to recover within a hundred years, so we cannot afford to lose, and we cannot lose, do you understand?If you are still sad because of the death of thousands of people, I suggest you quickly apply for transfer from active duty. "

Sanfu Nakazawa was silent for a long time, and then bowed silently to Ishihara with a smile, "Your Excellency, I understand, it seems that I have been dazzled by the success of these years, so that I have the benevolence of a woman. Thankfully Your reminder, otherwise I will still be immersed in the dream of the Imperial Japanese Army being invincible."

"Well...you understand." Ishihara nodded with satisfaction, "But you don't have to worry, I sent a telegram to Commander Tada the day before yesterday, requesting him to send the third tank group of the SJZ and the troops stationed in Shanxi. The No.20 flying team has also been seconded, and as soon as they arrive, we can launch a full-scale attack on the Chinese."

Sanfu Nakazawa was overjoyed, "Yoxi...it turns out that the commander of the division has already made a comprehensive plan, it seems that I was too worried. If the 21st flying team and the third tank group can arrive, it will be easy to eliminate Gao Hongming on the opposite side .”

"Mr. Zhongze, you have to remember that there is an old Chinese saying that a lion needs all its strength to fight a rabbit, so you must not underestimate any enemy, understand?"

"Hi... Thank you for your instruction, Your Excellency, Head of the Division."

The sky slowly darkened, and the whole land was plunged into darkness.

Most of the Japanese soldiers who had just finished a day of fighting fell asleep, only the sound of passwords and footsteps from the patrol team sounded from time to time on the ground.

In the headquarters command post of the Liantai militia, which is less than ten kilometers away from Qianqiu Bridge, all the battalion and above officers of the Liantai militia were present.

More than a dozen military officers looked at Gao Hongming who was sitting in the first seat. All of them looked serious, and no one knew what was going on when they were suddenly called.

Gao Hongming looked around with sharp eyes, and then Langsheng said: "Everyone, I called you here suddenly tonight because I have something to tell you. The days when our group was passively beaten these days are coming to an end.

Tonight, our regiment is going to launch a counterattack against the devils, and strive to defeat the two divisions of the devils in one battle. "

"what?"

Everyone was shocked when they first heard this sentence.
