mixed in the war

"Despicable and shameless! Despicable and shameless—"

The cries of ghosts and wolves rang out from the headquarters of the China Expeditionary Army, and everyone around who could hear the sound couldn't help shrinking their necks.Commander Shouichi Terauchi is one of the top leaders of the Imperial Army. It is better not to get irritated by the anger of a big man of this level. If he gets involved, it will be a disaster.

However, others can hide from the temple, but Kenji Doihara can't.

"Is there no other way? This is already the fourth incident this month, the fourth incident..." Terauchi Shouichi shook his round and big head violently, "Doihara-kun, this is a joke , joke, big joke! Do you know that?"

"I know." Doihara didn't sit like before, he was standing in front of Shouichi in the temple now, his face full of helplessness and despair.And the reason why he, the king of secret agents of the Great Japanese Empire, was so depressed was because of a series of embarrassing incidents that happened within the Chinese dispatched army recently, some of which were extremely serious.

For example: not long ago, two soldiers from Kagoshima stormed into a comfort station in a certain place in Fujian, killed more than a dozen soldiers and officers, and then burned the comfort station to nothing.According to subsequent investigations, the two suspected that their relatives and lovers were forcibly assigned to comfort stations by the military and became comfort women.

Furthermore, half a month ago, a reserve lieutenant officer who had just been transferred from the mainland to China, had not even fought a single battle, and was approached by a sergeant to behead him. Wife who stays at home commits adultery.According to subsequent investigations, although the lieutenant sergeant spoke frivolously, he was actually a good man, husband, and father. He had never had any extramarital affairs, and he and the sergeant lived in Honshu and Kyushu.Can't hit eight poles.That is to say, this lieutenant commander has suffered a lot of bad luck for eight lifetimes, just because he wanted to show off his heroism and coquettishness that women like in front of his new colleagues. Cao wore a cuckold, and then, the military Cao who had escaped death heard about it and broke out...

Also, two days ago, a bomb camp appeared in a squadron station on the outskirts of Nanchang.The reason is that before going to bed, the squadron heard some broadcast saying that the Chinese Air Force was bombing Japanese troops everywhere. It is said that the next target might be the cities of Jiangxi. As a result, when they were sleeping in the middle of the night, they did not know who had the nightmare.Suddenly he yelled so loudly... This incident was relatively harmless, but it only shocked the puppet army of a battalion next to it.Twenty or thirty were killed.It was a squad leader of this squadron who had two legs knocked off by counterattacking pseudo-military machine guns, and two mortarmen died. The chief defected with his men.It is said that he went to the guerrillas...

It's not a big deal to say these things alone, at least he and Terauchi Shouichi won't pay so much attention to them.But when these things happen one after another, it is a big problem.Moreover, although these things themselves are not big, their follow-up effects are very "powerful": just like the camp bombing incident, not only did the fearless image of the Imperial Japanese Army be extremely damaged.It also brought a deep psychological barrier to the puppet troops fighting in cooperation.Because, in order to take care of the face of the Imperial Japanese Army, the dispatched army did not disclose that these incidents were caused by the "bombing" of the Japanese army itself, but accused the puppet army of "defecting", saying that the puppet army took the initiative to attack imperial army.But this can only deceive the uninformed, not the insider, and the problem is that there were more than one puppet troops stationed outside the squadron at that time.

There are also the two incidents of the unlucky lieutenant commander and the burning of the comfort station, although both proved to be a sad misunderstanding afterwards.But since those two incidents happened, the communication between the local garrison and the mainland has suddenly become more intensive... What does this mean?It means that the soldiers on the front line are beginning to suspect that there will be problems behind them, it means that the morale of the army is unstable, and it means that the soldiers have begun to distrust the government and the military.

If it was just one or two such incidents, Doihara could still understand it as accidental, but if such incidents happened one after another, he had to be more vigilant.So, after some investigation, he and his men quickly found those very low-level radio stations...not only regularly showing off some pornographic articles, doing "audio novels", but also wantonly publishing false news, creating an atmosphere of unrest among the frontline soldiers.These radio stations are obviously set up by the Chinese secretly, but it is such an inconspicuous means that they already have a large number of listeners among the frontline soldiers.

He once ordered the soldiers to be prohibited from listening to the broadcasts of these stations, but it had no effect at all, and the soldiers still listened to what they should listen to.He also issued a notice telling officers at all levels and those soldiers that the news broadcasted by these radio stations was all fake news, and that the Chinese were deliberately making trouble for them, but it still had no effect.Because rumors stop at the wise.But the Imperial Japanese Army doesn't produce many smart people.What's more, leaving the mainland alone and coming to China to fight, who doesn't worry about their own family?The so-called local news released by the Chinese, even if the soldiers know it is false, they will still feel worried... Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!What's more, there will always be some "smart people" in the army, and these people will not believe what their superiors say so much.The superior said that those radio stations are fake, so they are fake?Perhaps it is precisely because these radio stations have exposed some of the dark side of the country that they were banned by the government colluding with the high-level military. .

So, those stations are still talking nonsense, and the audience is still there.

And if the rampage of these radio stations cannot be stopped, the dispatched army will continue to have problems, just like the incident that just made Shouyi in the temple crazy: a captain inspected the barracks of the 6th Division that had just withdrawn from Changsha to Wuhan and found someone I was eavesdropping on the broadcast of the fake Chinese radio station and stopped it immediately. The result may be that the method was too tough, which annoyed a soldier who was listening to the radio.In the end, the captain was stabbed through the stomach with a bayonet, and the soldier was shot to death by the captain.

……

"The Chinese have obviously grasped another key point of our army, that is, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is too rigid and communication is not smooth." Doihara sighed, "So, 70.00% of their recent targeted reports All of the above revolve around the rich oppressing the poor, the rich oppressing the good, the left-behind officers oppressing the relatives of front-line soldiers, the government oppressing the common people, and the nobles oppressing the civilians. Anyway, how can we arouse the interest of our soldiers, how can we make them If they are uncomfortable, or even angry, they will report something.... The dispatched army has gone through many battles, and our soldiers are in a state of extreme excitement. "

"I don't want to listen to these explanations. I just want to see these incidents be quelled immediately and never happen again." Terauchi Shouyi slapped the table and shouted: "The fight between a soldier and a captain may not be a big deal, but it can Affecting the morale of an entire army! And now we have too many such incidents, so, I want you to come up with a solution to this problem immediately!"

"I can think of a way. But we haven't encountered such a situation before. So, I need time." Doihara said.

"Time time... How long do you want?" Temple Shouichi asked coldly.

"I don't know." Doihara sighed. "These radio stations created by the Chinese directly aroused the soldiers' yearning and worries for the homeland. This is the most vulnerable and sensitive place in the hearts of ordinary people. Especially now that the soldiers are far away from the homeland, they have to face The hostility of those Chinese around you... This emotion is even stronger. If they are forced to erase this layer of emotion, then I can guarantee that this will be the beginning of a large-scale mutiny."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say that I would force the attack?" Terauchi Shou said angrily, "I just asked you to find a way to deal with the enemy, and I didn't ask you to go to war with those soldiers.... If it really doesn't work, what are you doing?" Don’t you also learn from the Chinese? Just like them, and set up a few Chinese-speaking radio stations, using the same methods as them?”

"There are not many radios in the squadron." Doihara was expressionless, "and. China has been in chaos for decades, and most of their soldiers are ordinary people who are used to suffering and being bullied. Ours Things that soldiers can’t bear are just commonplace for them. Most of them join the army to fight, not for the righteousness of the country or national independence, but to have enough food. Under this premise, such things as radio broadcasting can only be regarded as a luxury It is a product that can only be enjoyed by a small number of officers. Obviously, this kind of thing has no effect at all in front of officers of a certain level. They are only facing the most ordinary soldiers."

"Then there is no other way?" Temple Shouyi gritted his teeth and said.

"At least not now." Doihara sighed.

"Baga Yalu!"

"I still have some things to deal with, let's go out first."

Doihara didn't dare to stay in front of Juyi in the temple, not because he lacked courage, but because he lost face.Because Terauchi Shouichi and he are very clear that the Chinese radio stations are only just beginning to show their power.Over time, these stations will become more and more influential.Because the longer those Japanese soldiers are away from home, the more they miss and worry about their hometown.And the content broadcast by these Chinese radio stations is exactly the appetite of those soldiers. Over time, the ideas they promote will be imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers, and once they find an opportunity, they may explode... But in the face of this There was nothing he could do about it.

"The Chinese are really getting better at fighting." Doihara was a little sad.His ability is mainly to deal with those Chinese politicians and high-ranking officials, but now the Chinese are not attacking him in this regard, but have found soldiers who are not strong in discernment... In the propaganda, they avoid the truth and attack the false, but in the battlefield The Internet is also becoming more and more colorful.On the one hand, Japan had to deal with China, and on the other hand, it provoked the Soviet Union.Although it seems that the two battles have gained the upper hand, they have been irretrievably plunged into the quagmire of war.Although the Japanese government is still advocating Japan's powerful force, but these people already have a feeling of great difficulty.

"I hope everything will develop in a direction that is beneficial to the empire."

……

"Have you found any clues?"

Slowly returning to the office, Doihara has recovered his previous self-confidence. Looking at Kenshiro Shibayama standing in front of him, he asked about the tasks he had assigned.

"I'm sorry, General. The enemy is still raging in Shanghai!" Kenshiro Shibayama looked exhausted, and there were two huge bags under the dark circles under his eyes. not come out.

"Since they are still killing people in Shanghai, what are you doing when you come back?" Doihara seemed careless, "I remember that the mission I gave you was to get their heads back."

"I came back this time because I found a piece of news that I don't know whether it is true or not." Shibayama Kenshiro said.

"Interesting." Doihara rolled his eyelids, "If you don't know if it's true or not, come back to me...can I tell the difference for you?"

"General, my Bamboo Organ cooperated with Captain Nakajima and discovered a big problem..." Shibayama Kenshiro took a deep breath: "We suspect that Nanzo Yunzi seems to be questioning his identity as a Japanese!"

"Which mud?" (to be continued...)
