Chapter 207 Kamada Soldier Commander

"Soldier Commander Kamada, where is your home in Hokkaido?"

"Report to the squadron leader, Kutchan Town, Abuta County."

"Oh? That's a fertile place. Before the war, I worked at the Houshi General Promotion Bureau, and it was in Kutchan Town."

"That's really a coincidence. My family's land is not far from the Houzhi Comprehensive Development Bureau, so I often work nearby."

"Oh? Sergeant Captain Kamada must be an excellent farmer."

"It's just what I do best."

The Japanese army stationed in Xiazhen, who had been starving for a whole winter, finally lost confidence in logistical supplies and began to find ways to fill their stomachs.

The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Captain Yoshii made up his mind to learn from the Eight Routes to open up wasteland and cultivate land for self-sufficiency.

Sergeant Kamada, who is the best at farming in the squadron, was ordered to organize soldiers to open up wasteland around the camps and gunhouses where they were stationed, and strive to achieve self-sufficiency in vegetables this summer and partially solve the ration problem.

"Work hard, Sergeant Captain Kamada, let those people see our world's number one intensive farming technology!"

"Hi!"

Sergeant Captain Kamada was indeed very happy, this order was great, and life finally had hope.

On weekdays, everyone discussed in private that the situation was quite clear. The Japanese army in the Pacific battlefield was retreating steadily, the mainland began to be bombed, and the energy and food reserves would soon be exhausted.

Now the military is focusing on the Pacific battlefield, and has no time to take care of the mainland. At that time, more than 100 million soldiers will be alone overseas. People with a little military knowledge can understand that this will be defeated without a fight.

Under such circumstances, if the imperial army stationed on the mainland does not want to find a way to provide supplies, it may be difficult to survive the next cold and hungry winter.

Squadron Captain Yoshii seemed quite confident: "Although we have encountered some difficulties at present, there is no problem that the Yamato clan cannot solve. Sergeant Kamada, work hard!"

It's a pity that he is only a squadron leader. This kind of optimism is unreasonable.

Before Japan's full-scale invasion of China in 1937, Japan had only 17 standing divisions with a population of about 40, most of which were stationed in the three eastern provinces and the Korean Peninsula.

After fully invading China, Japan began to rapidly expand its army, which doubled and a half in just half a year. At its peak, the army had 40 divisions and more than 200 million people.

Only one of these divisions is in the Korean peninsula, five are in the mainland, and the rest are all in China. Therefore, when the Japanese army was in China at its peak, its resident strength was close to 1 million, and it was quickly replenished if there was any loss.

According to post-war statistics from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Welfare and Welfare in 1964, about 44 Japanese troops died in the war of aggression against China. This does not include the approximately 16 Japanese troops that were wiped out by the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Indian Army and the United States and Britain on the India-Myanmar battlefield.

With Japan's successive defeats on the Pacific battlefield, the military could only send troops stationed in China to the Pacific battlefield, which caused the Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield to plummet in both quality and quantity.

But no matter how the quality drops, there are 70 troops inside and outside the customs, and if the quality is not high, they still have to eat, and they may eat more.

Eating too much was a big problem. In fact, by the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army in the mainland was already in a difficult situation. With the bombing of the mainland, domestic productivity further dropped sharply, and a huge shortage of supplies began to appear a year ago.

The situation of the Japanese army in the Northeast is better. Since the Russo-Japanese War, it has been operating in the local area for nearly 40 years, and it can basically be self-sufficient in food and drink.

However, the combat effectiveness was basically reduced to zero. The 70 Kwantung Army was overwhelmed by a few charges of the Soviet Army, and all surrendered after tens of thousands of casualties. Only after the inventory of weapons was it found that the 70 troops had only 20 guns.

The main reason is that the Pacific War not only took away the elite of the Kwantung Army, but also took away slightly better weapons. The remaining three people are not enough for a single gun, and they can already return to the era of cold weapons. That is to support a flower shelf, without much combat power.

The fighting power of the Japanese army in the pass will be stronger. After the surrender, count the weapons. Although it is no longer possible to have a gun in each hand, the difference is not too much. The main reason is that there is not enough food.

Among them, the Japanese army in Shandong will be more miserable. First, they face a large number of communist troops and are well versed in guerrilla tactics. Second, the opponent basically controls the countryside and railways. The Japanese army has not been able to obtain logistical supplies for a long time. The matter of exchanging weapons and communist troops for food.

While fighting, he exchanged the weapons in his hands for food with his opponents. This is definitely a strange scandal in the history of war, and it is simply too embarrassing for the imperial army.

Squadron leader Yoshii is not as optimistic as he appears in his heart. In fact, he is very pessimistic.

It is no secret that the opponent is fighting a protracted war. If we fight for a few more years, it is foreseeable that the number of Japanese troops on the mainland will be smaller and poorer, and a sudden collapse is not impossible.

This is too dangerous, and we must guard against it, so although he has just been transferred, he has already asked Sergeant Commander Kamada many questions.

"I heard that soldiers committed suicide at the stronghold, but the squadron reported their deaths?"

"I heard that some soldiers in your team went to the nearby villages to ask for food without authorization?"

"I also heard that some soldiers had mental problems and ran to nearby villages to recognize locals as godmothers and godfathers?"

Sergeant Kamada replied one by one: "Two months ago, officers and soldiers in the Gezhuang stronghold did commit suicide. At that time, the stronghold was attacked by the Eighth Route Army and 12 people died in battle. Corporal Kataoka was shot on the spot by Captain Kanda because he flinched.

Corporal Kataoka was a fellow of Kanda. After the battle, he blamed himself and despaired, so he shot himself.

The chief committed suicide and died for the country, and the seven subordinates in the stronghold also hanged themselves, and finally only two remained. "

I don't know why they hanged themselves, but they hanged themselves one by one.

Moreover, Kamada did not say that the remaining two soldiers were so ashamed and frightened that they were so ashamed and frightened that the locals near the stronghold kept asking where all the people had gone the next day, and why they were the only two left.

As for the soldiers going to the nearby villages to ask for food, it was too common, and Kamada himself went to ask for it.

He has been stationed in the mainland for more than a year, and he knows that the previous troops raided the surrounding areas very cruelly. Many villages were burned down more than once. At that time, they killed everyone they saw. The local people hated the imperial army very much.

But those were the things that the previous troops did, and Kamada didn't think they were responsible for the recruits who changed defense later, so it's strange to ask for food when they were so hungry.

There are also soldiers who went to the nearby villages to recognize the local godmothers and godfathers. This is not new. This happens to troops everywhere, and newspapers have reported it more than once. The reason, but it is too much to say that it is a mental problem.

Kamata didn't want to admit that these soldiers were afraid of death. Many of them were children of seventeen or eighteen years old. I don't know who came up with such a way to leave a way out, so many people followed suit.

"How does the Eighth Route Party view and deal with these matters?"

"On weekdays, they will distribute various promotional materials to various bases to disintegrate our fighting spirit. Naturally, they are happy to see the results."

Kamata also didn't mention the previous stronghold where 12 people were killed and 8 people committed suicide. Some of them were very close to the locals, and the other party didn't take care of their acquaintances.

"Soldier Captain Kamada, come up with a farming plan within two days, the situation may become more and more complicated, we have to be prepared."

"The Devil's Doom Is Coming" was launched on March 3, just when the spring plowing was about to start.

The crew rented several pieces of land. Apart from building the gun towers, they also reclaimed wasteland at the same time. The filming was synchronized with the growth of the crops in the fields.

Kagawa Teruzhi squatted on the ground and wiped his sweat, looked at the newly grown green seedlings with complicated eyes, and muttered softly in his mouth: "It's so beautiful, I hope I can live until you mature."
