Chapter 3350 Elite Army

Killing or capturing a Japanese Army Major General was extremely rare during the Battle of Luzon, and even during the entire late World War II period.

During the Battle of Manila, the senior Japanese officers, including Iwabuchi Sanji, were all Marines.

This is completely opposite to the Japanese Army.

Take Japan's Myoga high-class heavy cruiser "Haguro" as an example. After it was sunk by the United States, its captain, Lieutenant General Shintaro Hashimoto, and Rear Admiral Yoshiju Sugiura sank with the ship.

"Haguro" Vice-President Nagano Ge, and 5th Sentai Staff Officer Nakao Kumataro also died in the battle.

Sugiura only served as a general for half a month before he died, and the base camp pursued Lieutenant General Jin.

Onogama's 50th Marine Corps and Nakao Kumataro's 51st Marine Corps both boarded the ship at the same time as Sugiura and were promoted to Rear Admiral.

Shintaro Hashimoto is only the commander of the team, not a replacement, and is not qualified to be promoted to general.

Originally, the commander of the fleet was mainly a major general. However, in the late World War II, the Japanese ships suffered serious losses and there were not enough ships to form a fleet to serve the officers. Officers with sufficient qualifications could only be promoted to military rank, and their positions were temporarily unchanged. Therefore, the ranks of naval ship force officers are:

On the high side, there are multiple rear admiral captains and lieutenant admiral team commanders.

On the contrary to the low ranks of the Army's ground forces, officers cannot be replaced due to severe casualties. The Army has already seen many lieutenants and infantry captains, major service captains, captains and even captains.

Therefore, Major General Nobuhiro Kitazawa's surrender was of great significance both militarily and politically.

MacArthur gave the task of accepting the surrender to Meng Shaoyuan, which also reflected the importance he attached to Meng Shaoyuan from another aspect.

According to Mesmaran's request, these Japanese soldiers who came out of the jungle will be immediately quarantined.

It will take three days for the official surrender to take place.

"boss."

As soon as he returned, Li Zhifeng came with a file: "This is what Tian Qi just sent."

"knew."

Meng Shaoyuan was in a good mood today. He sat down, opened the seal of the file, and took out the documents inside.

But gradually, the smile on Meng Shaoyuan's face disappeared.

Li Zhifeng had followed Meng Shaoyuan for too long, and he found that his boss was restraining his anger.

It's anger!

What exactly is in the dossier?

Meng Shaoyuan put down the document: "Currently, the Allied forces are launching a fierce counterattack, and the Japanese army hastily retreated. As a senior intelligence officer, Tian Qi has great conveniences. Therefore, I asked him to do everything possible to collect some evidence. What was sent today

, it’s about Singapore. Do you know what the ‘Grand Inspection’ is?”

Li Zhifeng shook his head blankly.

Meng Shaoyuan took out his cigarette, lit it, took half a cigarette in one breath, and then said slowly: "We call Singapore 'Singapore' or 'Singapore'. It is the place where most Chinese coastal residents go to Southeast Asia to settle down. The overseas Chinese population far exceeds

Other ethnic groups.

After the July 7th Incident, Singapore became the origin and leadership center of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia supporting the motherland’s anti-Japanese and national salvation movement. The ‘Nanyang Overseas Chinese Federation for Relieving Refugees from the Motherland’, led by overseas Chinese leader Tan Kah Kee, was located in Singapore.

After Japan invaded Southeast Asia, it carried out purposeful and targeted inhumane massacres of local overseas Chinese. The most appalling of them was the so-called 'Grand Inspection' carried out after the Japanese army captured Singapore."

During the Pacific War, Yamashita Yamashita, commander of the 25th Army of the Japanese Army, commanded the Malayan operations. He led the Japanese army to occupy the Malayan Peninsula in 55 days, and took about two weeks to force the British garrison in Singapore, Lieutenant General Bai Sihua, to lead his troops.

Unconditional surrender.

He once came to the conclusion: "If it weren't for the support of overseas Chinese, the China problem would have been solved long ago!" The Japanese army massacred overseas Chinese in Singapore, firstly, in revenge for the overseas Chinese's previous strong support for China's anti-Japanese national salvation movement, and secondly,

It was in retaliation for the participation of the Xinghua Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army in the defense of Singapore.

On February 17, 1942, Yamashita ordered Singapore Security Commander Saburo Kawamura: "Eradicate the lurking overseas Chinese with a hostile attitude so as to eliminate the worries of our army in combat." Chief of Staff Suzuki gave clear instructions: "Determine the hostile attitude.

After the perpetrators are found, they will be punished immediately (death penalty). This kicked off the "Grand Inspection".

The "big inspection" implemented in Singapore is to identify and capture the so-called "anti-Japanese elements" and "enemy elements" from the controlled overseas Chinese through the identification of some masked former British police, Indian police and Malayan communist traitors.

Sexual Overseas Chinese".

A few days after the Japanese occupation of Singapore, the Japanese army issued a notice requiring all male overseas Chinese between the ages of 18 and 50 to gather in four places to receive "good citizen certificates". Then they sent military police to drive out the overseas Chinese residents from house to house and sleep in the concentrated areas.

On the streets, men, women, old and young are no longer exempt. Overseas Chinese are waiting in fear for scrutiny amid the terror of death.

The "Grand Inspection Certificate" began on February 18, 1942. In the following days, those who were lucky enough to pass were issued a small piece of paper with the word "Inspection" printed in purple, and were allowed to go home with a piece of paper.

The so-called "anti-Japanese elements" and "enemy overseas Chinese" who were identified were executed without any trial procedures.

His methods and methods are extremely cruel and outrageous!

Some were tied up and dragged to the beach by the Japanese army and shot dead with heavy machine guns; some were tied up and put on ships and transported to a place about 10 kilometers away from the coast, where they were pushed into the sea and drowned; some were made to dig holes by themselves and then forced to take poison.

They committed suicide or were shot with machine guns or hacked to death with sabers; some overseas Chinese who were not executed were sent to Thailand to build the "Death Railway" and never returned.

The notorious war madman Tsuji Masanobu was serving as the chief staff officer of the Japanese Malay Operations Division at the time, and he was also the main promoter of the "Grand Inspection".

On February 22, 1942, Tsuji Masanobu inspected the Japanese troops responsible for the "clearance" work in the Jalan Musha area. After hearing that Onishikaku's detachment had only screened out 70 "anti-Japanese elements" and "enemy overseas Chinese", Tsuji

Zhengxin was very angry and scolded severely: "Why are you still dawdling? I want the lives of half of the people in Singapore!"

With this sentence, Da Xijue's detachment arrested thousands of people at once, packed dozens of cars, and sent them to Changi Beach for execution, turning the pleasant tourist resort into a slaughterhouse filled with flesh and blood.

By February 25, the "grand inspection" implemented by the Japanese army came to an end.

"In this 'big inspection', 70,000 overseas Chinese died." Meng Shaoyuan put out his cigarette with force: "70,000, how many overseas Chinese are there in Singapore? Tian Qi did an amazing thing, he tried his best

I have tried my best to collect almost all the evidence of the 'Grand Inspection'! Do you know why I care so much about this evidence?"

"I know." Li Zhifeng said: "You have told me before that Japan is the most shameless country and the most despicable nation. They will try their best to deny all their crimes.

You also said that even if there is irrefutable evidence of the Nanjing Massacre, Japan will try its best to deny it. Therefore, you must have this evidence in hand, and you must tell everyone about the crimes committed by the Japanese."

"Yes, this is what our generation must do." Meng Shaoyuan looked solemn: "As time goes by, the trauma caused by the war will slowly be healed. And sooner or later, Japan will jump out and act like a monster again.

of.

Now, they are fighting the US military, but sooner or later, Japan will become the dog leg of the United States. They will use the power of the United States to do evil and deny history. And when that time comes, these evidences will become key.

These are all intelligence collected by the U.S. intelligence agency. Yes, I admit that even if Japan is faced with such evidence, it will still quibble and deny it. But we can let more people clearly know that in the

What tragic things have happened in history!”

"Boss, I have to say something seriously." Li Zhifeng's expression also became serious: "Actually, apart from being a genius as an agent, you have no moral character or moral integrity at all.

Just a scumbag."

Damn it!

Is that what you said about your boss?

Li Zhifeng just pretended not to see the boss's face: "But I admire you, not just me, all the brothers admire you. What we admire is not your character, but that you always silently work for this country."

Doing things, doing many things that we never thought of.

Even if you have left the country now, you are still doing things for our country. I admire you for this. In the future, I will also get married and have children. I will tell my children that I once knew a scumbag.

A scumbag who deserves my respect the most!"

Meng Shaoyuan was speechless for a moment.

Li Zhifeng, are you scolding yourself or praising yourself?

…

"Colonel."

Afrin walked in excitedly: "The military expansion plan has been approved. All this is thanks to you. Please rest assured, I know what to do next."

Well, he knows what to do.

I am afraid that more than half of the free pay of the Second Brigade will be given to Colonel Charles.

"Then it's time for me to congratulate you, Major."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "I will continue to recommend you to your government. Sooner or later, you will become a general."

Afrin was overjoyed.

With the support of Americans, what do we have to fear?

"Your second brigade will also become a powerful force." Meng Shaoyuan began to slowly bring up the topic: "With all the beautiful equipment, as well as armored units and artillery units, I think your second brigade will

, it is completely easy to eliminate any Japanese armed force in the Philippines.

Even if you send your second brigade to the Chinese battlefield, I guarantee that you will be able to sweep away the Japanese troops who are more powerful than here."

"Ah, China, I have never been to China." Afrin said with a smile: "I heard that the Chinese army there fought with the Japanese army for many years and suffered a lot of casualties."

"Yes, but that's because the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is too low." At this time, Meng Shaoyuan had quietly dug a huge hole for Afrin: "Actually, judging from the performance on the battlefield, the Japanese army

Their combat effectiveness was nothing more than this. Under the joint offensive of the US military and the Philippine army, the Japanese army was defeated.

If your second brigade were sent to the Chinese battlefield, I believe that with your illustrious military exploits, you would have become a general long ago."

Afrin's face turned red with excitement: "Is the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army really that bad?"

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and said seriously: "One Filipino soldier can fight at least five Chinese soldiers. Dear Major, I think this is my conservative estimate."
