Under Shi Dahu's instigation, a list of Japanese and puppet troops secretly smuggled with the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment was delivered to the Japanese army.
And this list is mixed with true and false, and indeed many of them are Japanese and puppet army officers who have secretly smuggled with the independence group and even sold arms.
It can be said that a few mouse droppings ruined a pot of soup.
The other members are the real targets of Shi Dahu's harm, and even jumping into the Yellow River can't clean them up.
In anger, Yoshio Shinozuka issued an order to be shot as a warning to others.
In this way, a number of Japanese and puppet army officers met with the Emperor one step ahead before they could continue to commit crimes on the land of China.
After these Japanese and puppet army officers who had always opposed business smuggling with the Eighth Route Army were successfully tricked and killed by Shi Dahu.
It would be much easier if the Japanese and puppet army officers who continued to cooperate honestly with the independent group were left.
There is no longer a thorn in the side, and they are monitoring their private business cooperation with the independent group all day long as if they are on guard against thieves.
Those Japanese and puppet army officers who had been maintaining private business cooperation with the Independence Regiment, under Kong Jie's suggestion, also increased their cooperation with each other.
In particular, the Japanese and puppet army officers, mainly the Japanese squadron leader Mimoto Ichiro, the Japanese army commander Sakawajima, and the puppet company commander Qian Dekai, took the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Naturally, there were continuous banquets and singing and dancing for days.
This day.
Qian Dekai held a newspaper in his hand and ran to the Japanese military police tremblingly, where he met Kawashima and Mimoto Ichiro.
"Kawashima-kun, Sanbon-kun, something big has happened. Come and take a look!"
Qian Dekai suddenly broke into the military police force and scared Kawashima and Mimoto Ichiro.
"Did something happen to the mistress?" Kawashima, who felt a thump in his heart, learned a Chinese word and said it lamely.
"What the hell happened, you should read the newspaper first!"
"This is?"
"The newspaper published by the Eighth Route Army was circulated and sold in the alleys this morning for some reason. Now it has spread. I took a copy back. Take a look."
"Qian, you know, we don't know much Chinese, please read the content for us."
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this!"
After reacting, Qian Dekai took the newspaper back and read one of the contents: "This is a report published by the Eighth Route Army."
"The title is: Our Eighth Route Army's Forever Friends.
Content: Among the enthusiastic people who help our Eighth Route Army, there is a group of friends. Although some of them are officers of the Japanese Army and some of the Imperial Army, they are still willing to conduct business exchanges and dealings with our Eighth Route Army after the war.
, survive together.
Recently, we heard that the Japanese army executed these friends of ours.
This really shouldn’t be done. Our Eighth Route Army here strongly condemns the violent behavior of the Japanese army. Even soldiers, even if they are soldiers, don’t they have to eat, support their families, and live apart from fighting?
Isn’t it unreasonable to do some business with us after the war, make a fortune together, and live a better life?
It can be seen that the higher-level command of the Japanese army is really cruel and cruel, and cannot even tolerate the most basic survival needs of its subordinates.
Does such an unkind and cruel army still dream about winning this war?
My dear friends of the Independent Regiment, Captain Takeda Saburo-kun of the Yangquan Military Police Squadron, Captain Fujino Kenji-kun of the Imperial Squadron stationed in Yangquan, and Captain Huang of the Imperial Association Army... Shouyang... Heyuan...
You will always be my friends in the independent group, and we will never forget you!
Even if it is for our eternal friends, our independent regiment will definitely fight to the death against the Japanese invaders! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!!!"
Speaking of the final fight to the death, Qian Dekai, who was reading aloud, seemed to be affected by this seemingly easy-to-understand but powerful article, and his tone was particularly accentuated.
"Taijun, I've finished reading..."
Kawashima was silent: "..."
The left side of Miki Ichiro's face twitched violently: "..."
"The heart of a murderous pig!" After a moment of silence, Kawashima said with a look of horror.
……
The other side.
The same newspaper records the same content.
It is currently being placed on the desk of Commander Yoshio Shinozuka of the Japanese First Army.
Wait for the translator to finish reading the article titled "Our Eighth Route Army's Forever Friends" published in the newspaper.
Even Yoshio Shinozuka, who had always been calm, couldn't bear it anymore. He said angrily: "Baga, get out, get out!"
"Hi!"
The translator hurriedly walked out with his head lowered.
Beichuan, the Japanese chief of staff on the side, looked stiff.
He understood very well why Shinozuka Yoshio was so furious.
If it was before the independent group ambush in Dafengzhuang.
Yoshio Shinozuka was by no means so angry. He even felt that the Eighth Route Army's publication of newspapers further confirmed the correctness of those lists, and those who were shot should indeed be killed.
But after the ambush incident in Dafengzhuang.
Shinozuka Yoshio no longer believes in all the easily obtained information from the independent group.
When we first contacted Yoshio Shinozuka, he had doubts in his heart. The deciphering of these eight-way communication signals was too easy and too smooth.
The list that had been intercepted from the Eighth Route Army's telegrams became a pain point that Yoshio Shinozuka did not want to face.
Until today.
Shinozuka Yoshio's pain points were clearly published by the independence group in newspapers.
The article was full of humor, ridicule, and satire, as if it was constantly mocking the stupidity and incompetence of him, the commander of the First Army.
No wonder Yoshio Shinozuka was so angry and lost his temper.
After a burst of anger, Yoshio Shinozuka gradually calmed down, and then he let out a long sigh, looked at Kitagawa, and said with tiredness in his words:
"Kitagawa-kun, looking at it now, do you think that list is true?"
After Kitagawa was silent for a moment, he looked at Yoshio Shinozuka and said firmly:
"Of course it's true, General, this list can only be true!"
"How could the Empire of Japan make such a mistake in judgment?"
At Kitagawa's reminder, Shinozuka Yoshio nodded. He lay half-lying on his armchair in a decadent manner, rubbing his brows exhausted.
"What I'm more worried about right now is that this list may actually help the Eighth Route Army's business dealings with our army."
"At this moment, within the territory of Shanxi and within our army, how many imperial officers and officers of the Imperial Association Army are secretly siding with the enemy?"
"Alas——"
Beichuan sighed: "General, although I don't want to say this, but there is a saying in this article from the Eighth Route Army that is quite good. Even the imperial soldiers of our army also need to eat, need money, and need to live."<
/p>
"Especially now that the disaster is getting worse and worse, the national army is short of food, prices have skyrocketed in recent days, and the military pay we distribute has not increased much."
"At this time, if we waste our energy on internal investigations and cut off private business contacts between members of our army and the Eighth Route Army, I am worried that it will affect the morale of the army, but it will not be worth the gain."
"That's right!"
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, "For now, we can only wait for the reinforcements to arrive. After the situation of our army improves, we can then carry out internal rectification and clear away these cancers."
