blood feud

"Detachment leader, all six prisoner-of-war camps have been taken over, with a total population of more than 297500 people."

Yang Mandun broke into Bai Shujie's office, sweating profusely, with an assault rifle in his hand.Looking at the entire Jehol Front Army and Feilong Expeditionary Army of more than 20 people, there are only five people who dare to be like him.

Bai Shujie was scrutinizing the map, and was taken aback when he heard this: "Why are there so many people?"

Dong dong dong, Yang Mantun grabbed Bai Shujie's tea mug and downed it in one gulp, then sat down on the chair and said, "Detachment leader, you don't know. The male lieutenant general in Shangcun who was beaten to death by Liu Zhiliang and the others , the background is not small!"

"According to the results of our initial interrogation of the little devil commander Masahiro Honma, this Lieutenant General Uemura served as the commander of the 64th Independent Infantry Regiment. He was promoted to lieutenant general in August last year (1941). After the start of the Pacific War, last December On the 8th, he took office as Chief of the Prisoner of War Intelligence Bureau."

"What Uemura Gannan means is that all the prisoners of war from the Philippine battlefield, the Borneo battlefield, the Sumatra battlefield, and the Java battlefield are gathered together, and they are going to be sent to Taiwan and Manchukuo for forced labor. It's a pity that their transport fleet is transporting personnel to the Burmese front And supplies, there is no time yet."

"After preliminary classification, there were more than 45900 American prisoners of war, more than 19700 British prisoners of war, more than 72500 Dutch prisoners of war, more than 17700 East Indian prisoners of war, more than 72400 Australian prisoners of war, and the rest were 69300 Philippine prisoners of war."

Speaking of this, Yang Mantun shook his head: "I don't understand. The Japanese 16th Army has only a total of more than 23 troops. After the battle began, about 1 people from the Japanese 430st Paratrooper Brigade were airborne in Palembang, and then the 38th The main force of the division landed in three locations on Java Island, captured more than 8 Allied troops and captured 177 aircraft after World War I."

"What kind of troops are these? Whether it is the Philippine battlefield, or the Sumatra, Java Island, and Borneo battlefields, the Japanese army does not have an advantage in the navy, air force, and army. It is also not as powerful as the American and British prisoners of war said. , can't resist at all."

"Look at the detachment leader, you want to say that the little devil's air force is powerful? Cavite and Noveleta have been cleaned up, and more than 472 planes have been blown up! There are more than 177 planes captured by the little devil on Java Island." 800, if you include the downed fighter planes, the Allied forces have more than [-] combat planes, twice as many as the little devils."

"The number of battleships, cruisers, and destroyers sunk by the Allied forces is more than the total number of the little devils. The final result is that the number of prisoners captured by the little devils, on average, is basically one prisoner for every Japanese soldier. I I really don’t understand the meaning of such an army.”

"To be honest, it's fortunate that there are thousands of islands in this ghost place, so the little devil wasted four months. If it was placed in our country, these so-called allied soldiers would definitely not need 20 days to be all killed. Prisoner! According to Masaharu Honma, the total number of casualties of the little devil is about 38000 people, which is out of proportion!"

Bai Shujie nodded: "That's why we said how incompetent the Qing Dynasty was back then! Think about it, with such a quality allied army, less than 3 people attacked the Forbidden City."

"Do you know why the United States is in the Philippines? Because the spoils were not evenly distributed at that time, the American devils fought with Spain. As a result, Spain lost a lot and gave up the Philippines to the American devils."

"The so-called allies are a bunch of people who eat people and don't spit out their bones. Now everyone wants to be the savior, but they are beaten up by the little devils. To put it bluntly, they are all dogs eating dogs. What they are fighting for is to rob others territory and plunder other people’s resources.”

"Because of this, I'm here to fight. No matter who I hit, I don't have any psychological burden at all. For us, these allied forces are all devils who invaded the mainland back then. The sum is the Eastern Devils, Western Devils and Second Devils .Their iron hooves have set foot on our land, and they should all be cut off!"

Yang Mantun nodded: "However, these 30 people are a huge burden, and our food is not enough. What should we do next?"

Bai Shujie walked back and forth twice with his hands behind his back, and then said: "We should treat them differently. First, we should call out all the American prisoners of war, and arrange a special prisoner-of-war camp for unified management. The most important thing is that American prisoners of war Wainwright and British prisoners of war These two are generals, Pershwana, and each has an apartment."

"Officers above second lieutenant and above in the U.S. army and officers above major in the British army are all concentrated in St. Augustine Church for separate guarding. The standard of living is slightly higher, and a certain degree of freedom of movement can also be given, as long as they don't come out. As for the other prisoners of war, they all participate in the reconstruction. Labor in Manila!"

"Tomorrow the first batch of people from the headquarters will arrive, and the Ministry of Health should be the first to arrive. The prisoner-of-war camp is divided into labor camps, each with 5000 people, and a machine gun company is arranged to guard them."

"American prisoners of war are not arranged to participate in labor for the time being. British prisoners of war are responsible for urban reconstruction and environmental cleaning; Australian prisoners of war are responsible for road and railway construction tasks. East Indian and Philippine prisoners of war all participate in the construction of fortifications, and each person has 8 taels of food per day."

"As for the source of food, you can go to Shi Liancheng and see how he is progressing in cleaning up the collaborators. You tell him that every family that has food in the family is probably related to the little devil, otherwise it would have been robbed long ago Already!"

What Bai Shujie is concerned about now is the future office area in Manila. The historical city of Manila has been completely destroyed by the war, but this time only two headquarters buildings were destroyed, and other places remained intact.

Manila King City is a star-shaped fortress, covering an area of ​​6400 acres, surrounded by 2.44 meters thick and 6.7 meters high stone walls.Before the Spanish colonial army was defeated by the United States, Wangcheng was their administrative, military and religious center in the Philippines.

The oldest and earliest universities, churches and convents in the Philippines are located in Intramuros.Among the most famous Catholic schools are St. Thomas University, Ateneo de Manila University and San Juan College in Retland; churches include Manila Cathedral and St. Augustine Church.

The Spanish Governor's Palace in the Philippines was also originally set up in Wangcheng District. However, an earthquake in the 19th century caused the Governor's Palace to be moved to Malacanang Palace, the Philippine Presidential Palace.

Malacanan Palace is a magnificent palace on a street parallel to the Pasig River in Manila, located on the north bank of the Pasig River.There are the president's office and residence building, the president's administrative building, the garden and the housing of the guard force. The successive Philippine presidents have been in power here.

After the little devil occupied the Philippines, because he wanted to prepare for the "Second Philippine Republic", he did not destroy this place. Now it is the location of Bai Shujie's "South China United Front Third Division Headquarters", and Liu Zhiliang is here.

Here in Manila, for a period of time to come, it will belong to Shi Liancheng's first division, and Wangcheng will be the future military, political, economic, and cultural center.

Bai Shujie is not planning to stay here for a long time either, his goal is Bandar Seri Begawan in Borneo (Kalimantan Island).In Southeast Asia, oil reserves and production are second only to Indonesia, ranking second.

Bandar Seri Begawan became a British colony in 1888 and was occupied by Japan in 1941.

In 1946, the shameless English team unexpectedly regained control of Brunei. Bai Shujie would never allow this to happen again.

The terrain of Borneo (Kalimantan Island) is very strange. In the center is Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in Southeast Asia, with an altitude of 4102 meters.

On the whole island, there are mountains extending from the center to the outside; the northeastern part is relatively high, and the terrain is gentle and undulating, with abundant rainfall and many large rivers that diverge into the sea, with a forest coverage rate of 80%.Agricultural products include rice, rubber, pepper, sago, coconut and so on.The middle of the island is mountainous, surrounded by plains.

The southern terrain is very low and becomes a large wetland.The island Indonesia occupies a large area, mainly in the southern part.

Of course, Bai Shujie took a fancy to the resources here, and at the same time, he also took a fancy to the long history of Kalimantan Island, which is called "Boli", "Boni", "Boni" and "Bornaro" in Chinese historical records.

The most important thing is that Kalimantan Island is located in the southern part of the Eurasian plate, and its geology is relatively stable. Only the south coast has earthquake zones.

Another important factor is the abundance of mineral resources.In addition to the above oil and natural gas, there are military strategic rare metal mines such as antimony, manganese, bauxite, chromium, titanium, uranium, and cobalt.Especially uranium ore, cobalt ore, titanium ore, and nickel ore are the most scarce varieties for Bai Shujie to develop missiles and rockets.

The Institute of Physics of Feilong Research Institute proposed to strengthen the research of "nuclear energy" two years ago.Bai Shujie didn't want to waste people and money in Pyongyang, so he didn't build a large laboratory, but only established a theoretical model for research.

The most important thing is that the Dutch, the British, and the current little devils, they don't know that there are uranium mines here, or they don't know what uranium mines can do at all!

Bai Shujie airdropped the second regiment of the Marine Corps, and at the same time sent his other iron fist—Wei Chong's Fourth Division and Zhao Dayong's First Artillery Division to form the "Westward Corps" to Borneo, and at the same time strengthened one The rocket artillery regiment and 1 missile regiment are to determine the outcome in one battle.

Seeing that there were no major wars in the Philippines, Bai Shujie finally called Shi Liancheng over to teach him the opportunity:

"While there is still time, you quickly order a battalion to escort a brigade of 5000 Filipino prisoners, build a radar station on the top of Plog Mountain, and set up a broadcast tower at the same time. Once the big sisters of the headquarters come over, if these things are not in hand , when the time comes, you will look good!"

"You have to remember that this radar station is related to the overall situation. It bears the heavy responsibility of early warning in the three directions of the south, east, and north. It belongs to a top-secret military base. Those captives will always guard this secret on the mountain."

"In order to prevent the enemy from bombing this radar station, the main task of a J-[-] fighter squadron in Noveleta is to undertake air patrols around Luzon Island. You need to arrange another battalion to be stationed to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"Wangcheng belongs to the core of Luzon Island. Now so many captives must be used as much as possible, and all drainage facilities and domestic sewage facilities must be rebuilt. All underground box culverts must be expanded to a diameter of 4 meters."

"Growing up in the north, I'm afraid you haven't seen a real storm. Typhoons are raging here, and heavy rains are causing disasters. You must pay attention to flood control and drainage, and you must complete it before May comes."

"In addition to fighting now, urban construction and economic recovery are your next important tasks, which are more important than fighting."

"The eight-army regulation and the seven-kill order must be strictly enforced here. All resistance organizations will be killed without forgiveness or pardon, so that they will never have the idea of ​​​​resistance."

"I will leave Luzon to you. The north side is mainly to guard against the sudden attack of the little devils from Taiwan Island, and the east side is mainly to guard against the sudden appearance of the huge fleet of little devils. There are 10 ghost submarines and 6 white shark submarines. The leading soldiers in the field must give full play to their role."

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
