For Ichiro Moriki, this night was simply a shame and a great humiliation.
Huddled in the headquarters, unable to figure out the opponent's reality, I didn't dare to go out all night.
It wasn't until dawn that Moriki Ichiro dared to send out a makeshift team to test the truth.
But the other party had already evacuated.
Apart from Xinfuli, there were no other casualties.
But the problem is that all the members of the Southeast Supervision Team are dead.
What is even more serious than this is that there is a Chinese flag flying on the west gate of Suzhou.
This has never happened.
Moriki Ichiro was furious.
But when he calmed down, he said this in the report to his superiors.
That night, the Chinese underground resistance organization launched a small-scale riot in Suzhou, which was quickly suppressed and eight rioters were killed. No one on the Japanese side suffered any casualties.
If the truth is told, he cannot bear such responsibility.
Similar to Ichiro Moriki, it is Hirakazuo Danji.
In his report he described it as follows:
The Southeast China Supervision Team and the Detective Team colluded with each other and attempted to escape. After discovering it, Lieutenant Xiao Zhengshu launched a heroic fight with them and killed eight members of the Southeast Supervision Team and four members of the rebellious Detective Team.
The four of them, including Second Lieutenant Masaki Kogakure, are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan!
People carry people in sedan chairs.
Ichiro Moriki knows the truth, and Hirakazu Danji knows the truth, but neither of them tells it. Protecting you means protecting yourself.
Therefore, even though there was such a big commotion, the Japanese only conducted a raid in Suzhou, arrested a few people, and calmed down the matter.
In this incident, the one who benefited the most was Fukada Kyoko.
The battle report from the front is that in the direction of Wuhe Village, the Japanese army fought a fierce battle with the Chinese resistance organization. When the battle was nearly dawn, our army occupied Wuhe Village, and the remaining Chinese resistance organizations fled in panic.
According to subsequent confirmation in the village, Yue Zhenchuan, the leader of the Chinese resistance organization, was indeed in Wuhe Village recently, and the information was accurate.
Our crusade team killed fifteen people from the Chinese resistance organization and buried them on the spot.
"Buried on the spot" is the essence of this sentence.
The expedition team was commended by Moriki Ichiro.
As for why there are no casualties on either the Chinese or Japanese side?
Who will pursue it to the end?
Also receiving the award was Kyoko Fukada.
Because she provided accurate information, she was personally received by Ichiro Moriki and reported her military exploits to her superiors.
However, she can no longer escape the control of the military!
…
"Sir!"
"Retreat immediately."
"yes!"
"Casualty report."
"No one was killed. Two people were injured. The injuries are not serious."
"I sacrificed one of them. When Xie Boshen attacked the west city gate, his body was brought out. Please bury him properly."
"Um."
Yue Zhenchuan nodded silently.
Since he led the troops alone, he has witnessed brothers fall in front of him one after another, but there is nothing he can do.
In fact, there was no way to bring back many of the corpses of the brothers.
When the day comes when the Anti-Japanese War is won, how many people will be left that I once knew?
"The winter offensive has begun and will last until March." Meng Shaoyuan emphasized: "The Japanese winter raids are also in progress, so that their supplies can keep up with them in time for the upcoming spring. The Japanese army suffered a heavy blow in Changsha They will definitely not be resigned to major setbacks, and the areas they have already occupied will become their top priority."
1940 was not a peaceful year. Meng Shaoyuan knew this very well.
The Japanese army, which suffered a defeat in Changsha, will soon make a comeback. The Battle of Zaoyi and the 40-year sweep will come one after another.
Wang Jingwei's puppet government is about to be formally established, and a large number of puppet troops will be armed and become an important force used by the Japanese in the occupied areas.
During this period, the mission of the military commander was not just an intelligence station, but to make full use of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army to carry out counter-mopping up and large-scale guerrilla harassment operations.
In this way, the Loyalty Salvation Army and the guerrillas from various places will become a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese, and the hard days of people like Yue Zhenchuan are coming.
"We must pay attention to the puppet army." Meng Shaoyuan then said: "Wang Jingwei's puppet government will be established soon, and a large number of puppet troops will be quickly armed. Lao Yue, these puppet troops are different from those you have encountered before. .”
"What's different?" Yue Zhenchuan curled his lips.
"Yue Zhenchuan." Meng Shaoyuan's expression suddenly became serious: "The people you met in the past were all made up of local people. Their homes are all here. They are afraid of the Japanese, but they are also unwilling to really offend us. They will be punished in the future. They were settling accounts after the fall, so the tasks assigned to them by the Japanese were often carried out in a shady manner, and many people even had liaisons with us.
They are afraid, but the newly formed puppet army is different. The exact information we have received is that a puppet army will be sent to the surrounding areas of Nanjing to control Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and other places. This puppet army will be equipped with Japanese Gu Ke , under the direct command of the Japanese, the leaders at all levels are committed traitors, there is no need to worry, you must cheer me up! "
What kind of people did Yue Zhenchuan meet in the past?
The so-called "army" has to prepare its own weapons. There are only a few guns that can be fired in a security group. In addition, they are locals and they are afraid of retaliation against their family members. No one is willing to fight hard.
As soon as they see the guerrillas, they won't even shoot, let alone shoot.
The Japanese forced them to just pretend to be active, but beforehand, they would send people to say hello to the guerrillas. We were just pretending, don't really fight.
This also caused people like Yue Zhenchuan and Wei Yunzhe to extremely despise the puppet troops and did not take them to heart at all.
This is a big question.
From now on, they will face unprecedented challenges.
"Don't be careless. You must not be careless." Meng Shaoyuan patted Yue Zhenchuan on the shoulder: "Our old brothers who came out of Nanjing left one after another. For the rest, I want to see you all live until the day when the Anti-Japanese War is won. .”
Yue Zhenchuan was a little moved.
Although Master Meng is greedy for money and likes to fight in the autumn wind, he treats his brothers sincerely: "Sir, how about you stay here for a few more days, and I will drink with you for a few days."
"No." Meng Shaoyuan looked back at Yamashita Yuri and the others: "Shanghai is still waiting for me to go back. Damn, there is Wang Jingwei and Li Shiqun, which makes me very troubled."
Yue Zhenchuan asked quietly: "What about the Japanese child?"
"I've already thought about it." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "You should lead your troops well!"
"Then I won't send you off, sir. See you next time!"
"See you next time, don't forget a word of what I have to say!"
"Yes! Take care, sir!"
Yue Zhenchuan saluted with dignity and dignity!
