Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 343 Terauchi Yu's Ambition, The Rise of the Osaka Department

Gangcun Ningci and Temple Shouyi drank some wine, clapped their hands in celebration from time to time, and chanted poems in opposition to show elegance.

On the side, Terauchiyong was sitting on pins and needles, he really couldn't handle this kind of situation.

In the middle of the night, when there is nothing else to do, Terauchi Yong does more to count his family property in the secret room. This kind of scene makes people intoxicated just thinking about it.

The wine was in full swing, Okamura Ningji also opened up the conversation box, and said: "Mr. Si Nei, the Eighth Route Army is attacking everywhere in North China, and other defense areas are suffering. Only Wuyi and Wu'an where you are located are in good order. Do you have any experience?" ? There are no outsiders here, tell me, don't be as perfunctory as before this time!"

Before, Yuu Terauchi, as a model representative of security warfare, explained his experience in security warfare at the First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan, but what Terauchi said at the time was superficial.

Ningji Gangcun had said all this, and Terauchiyong could only nod his head in response, thinking to himself, could I still tell you that this is a disguised form of public security?
However, Terauchiyong didn't think it was wrong for him to do so. Instead of consuming a lot of weapons and ammunition to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, it would be better to sell these weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army.

In this way, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone. First, it maintains the relationship with the local Eighth Route Army and ensures public security; Come to private transactions, and you can get a lot of money.

Of course, Yuu Terauchi would not dare to say these thoughts directly. Fortunately, he was reminded by Moritake Tanabe before that Yuu Terauchi had already prepared.

"Your Excellency, the imperial army has occupied most of China's territory on the surface, but it is very difficult to really bring China's territory under its command. Even in Manchuria, which has been in business for many years, there are endless resistance struggles behind the scenes!" Si Nei Yong thought Said for a while.

"Yeah, it's not easy to establish a Communist Party circle. If the security in North China is half that of Manchukuo, I will be satisfied. However, the pace of empire expansion has been accelerating, and it is impossible to free up more manpower and material resources to maintain the existing state. Occupied territory!" Neji Okamura sighed, and glanced at Juichi Terauchi with a vague look.

"Mr. Gangmura, the strategy of the empire has never been decided by you or me. Even His Majesty the Emperor cannot decide. The empire needs time. Since it has embarked on this road, it cannot stop. Once it stops, it will only be defeated. Domestic Our economy does not allow it, and many citizens will not allow it!" Terauchi Shouichi said.

"I understand what you said, Temple Lord, you continue to talk!"

"Hey, I have fought against the regular army of China in the front, and I have been stationed in Manchuria. I found that stationing in the rear should not be as brutal as in the front. Most of the people in China are uneducated and have a strong tolerance. Throughout the nearly [-]-year history of China, warlords fought in chaos, but as long as the common people have enough to eat and maintain a normal life, they will not initiate resistance!"

"Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as insensitive, so in the rear, the methods of the imperial army should be more gentle. The leader of the Eighth Route Army has a good saying, to distinguish who is the enemy, who is the friend, and who is the object of wooing. Make a lot of friends!"

"Prior to this, the imperial army's wooing targets have always been local big landlords!" Terauchi Yong paused after speaking, and then said: "Your Excellency, General, please don't mind what I say next!"

"Terauchi-kun, it's okay to say it!" Neiji Okamura said solemnly.

"With all due respect, after the imperial army came, the life of ordinary people in China became more difficult. It has become a luxury to have enough food, and even their lives have been threatened. China has a large population. Among this large population, ordinary people The Chinese people accounted for the vast majority. The various behaviors of the imperial army, coupled with the oppression of the local tyrants and gentry, pushed the Chinese people to the side of the Eighth Route Army. That's why the Eighth Route Army took root in the rear, and quickly grew like a cloud. !"

"Every ordinary person is a reserve source for the Eighth Route Army. In this way, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to completely encircle and suppress, and it is impossible for us to kill all the ordinary people in China!"

"Yoxi, Monarch Sinei, there is a reason for your achievements in Wuyi and Wu'an. I didn't expect you to be so familiar with China's national conditions and the policies of the Eighth Route Army. If the commander of the Imperial Army in the rear They are all like you, so why worry about the unstable security in the rear?" Okamura Neiji said quite emotionally.

Terauchi Shouichi, who was beating at the side, also looked at his nephew in surprise. Is this the same nephew who only knew how to resell military supplies?

"Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. Only by knowing the enemy better can you defeat them!" Terauchi Yong said with a smile.

"Temple-kun, do you have any specific suggestions?"

"Your Excellency, I personally feel that the imperial army's policy in the rear will be changed, and the methods should be milder, and the common people will be drawn into the imperial army's camp, but" Terauchi Yong said hesitantly.

"But what?" Neiji Okamura asked.

"Even if the policy is formulated, there are problems with the people who implement it. Most of the commanders of the imperial army in the rear are barbarians who only know how to kill butchers. How can we maintain law and order in the rear by relying on these people!" Terauchi Yong said sharply.

Neiji Okamura did not fly into a rage after hearing what Isamu Terauchi said. He has long been aware of this problem, and he has also introduced some friendly policies between China and Japan before.

However, most of the commanders in various places have been brainwashed by the Communist Party on the one hand, and their minds have been distorted by the war on the other hand, as Isamu Terauchi said, and some of their thoughts are no longer normal.

Regarding the policies issued by the above, some Japanese military officers violated the policies and even openly resisted them.

"However, we don't have time to train qualified rear commanders!" Neiji Okamura said, frowning.

"Your Excellency, don't forget the Osaka Division where I was originally. The warriors of the Osaka Division are different from ordinary imperial soldiers. Every time they go to a new place, they can quickly integrate with the local forces!" Terauchi Yu Said quite proudly.

"Osaka Division?" Neiji Okamura was a little surprised when he mentioned the Osaka Division.

The main reason is that the reputation of the Osaka Division is too loud. The North China Dispatched Army was short of troops before. The base camp said that the Osaka Division currently in central China should be transferred to North China. Neji Okamura said nothing.

"This is a good strategy!" Terauchi Shouichi, who has been the head of the Osaka Division for two years, has more say at this time.

"Okamura-kun, maybe this method is feasible, and the combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division may not be good, but they may be more suitable to stay in the rear, where they can show their strengths!" Terauchi Shouichi said.

"Nani? Do you want them to come to the rear to do business?" Neiji Okamura asked.

"Could it be that they don't do business on the front line, and the harm in the rear is even smaller, and there may be unexpected effects!" Terauchi Shouichi persuaded.

Terauchi Shouichi also had selfish intentions. In 1938, he returned to China and served as a military councilor, but was left idle.

Some time ago, the headquarters issued an order to let Terauchi Shouichi be the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, and he went to Shanghai to prepare first. The Osaka Division was impressively on the pre-selection list of the Southern Army.

Leaving the Osaka Division in the rear, at most a small business, this is really the front line, this group of soldiers suddenly put down the pick, it may cause the entire southern army to lose the battle, therefore, Terauchi Shouichi had to guard against, It's better to let this group of soldiers do harm to you!
Thinking of this, Terauchi Shouichi glanced at Terauchi Yu in relief, but he didn't expect his nephew to solve the hidden danger for himself in advance.

"As Isamu Terauchi said, Osaka people are active in thinking and have a high level of education. Compared with bandits and pirates from the Kanto region, Osaka people are much more civilized. They may turn ordinary people in China into friends!" Terauchi Shouichi Continue to persuade.

Terauchi Yong smiled from the side. He knew that if his uncle spoke up and transferred the Osaka Division back to the enemy's rear, it was likely to be accurate.

Of course, the Osaka division that was split off from the Osaka division is the Osaka division that is in line with the interests of Isamu Terauchi. Maybe there will be no Osaka division in the future. Second, it should be called the Osaka division.

When the Osaka Division arrives at the rear, the plans that Isamu Terauchi had made before can also be implemented.
