Zhao Defang still confessed obediently, maybe it was because Zhou Weiguo usually had too much authority, or maybe it was because Zhou Weiguo could see him at a glance.
Finally, the independent division headquarters was truly purged from top to bottom.
At the end of the purge, the reasons were almost the same. No one was willing to actively betray the country. There were various reasons, or their family members were coerced.
It can only be said that the Japanese have truly grasped the lifeblood of ordinary people.
On the 11th, Zhou Weiguo was sitting in his office, thinking about the gains and losses this time.
The 11th Standing Brigade suffered heavy losses, with almost one-third of the casualties, comparable to the losses in the First World War. Even the special operations team had several veteran members... and even Xuansheng would not be able to go to the battlefield in the future.
Zhou Weiguo sighed, to be honest, there is nothing that can be called "win" in this action, it is just to correct past mistakes.
So, to be precise, there is only loss.
The stall is so big that there are bound to be surprises.
But such an accident came at the cost of the lives of the soldiers, and it was not known how much information had been leaked.
In the end, Zhao Defang was not executed.
In other words, Zhou Weiguo kept Zhao Defang with the intention of passing on false information. Of course, he sent two special forces members to keep an eye on him. No matter if he was sleeping or going to the toilet, he would not give him another chance to pass on information.
.Even if the information was transmitted, it was transmitted under the instruction of Zhou Weiguo.
1940 has come to an end, and time never stops for anyone.
With so many people uncovered this time, at least for a long period of time, it can be guaranteed that news about the independent division will not spread.
In January 1941, the Southern Anhui Incident broke out. On their way north, more than 9,000 people including troops directly under the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army in South Anhui encountered a sudden attack by about 80,000 people from 7 divisions of the Kuomintang.
After seven days and nights of fierce fighting, due to the huge disparity in numbers, the New Fourth Army ran out of ammunition and food. Except for more than 2,000 people who broke out scattered, a few were captured and most of them died heroically.
For a time, public opinion was intense.
Most people are condemning the actions of the national army. We are facing a great enemy. Although we signed a mediation agreement, have the Japanese been beaten away? No!
Many people do not understand what Chiang Kai-shek did.
Those who can understand are those with good political vision.
The Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party is developing faster and faster, and even in terms of popular support, it has also gained very rapidly. Not only that, in this era, many people do not like communism.
Speaking of which, China has been experiencing internal strife for a lot of time, whether it was the Warring States, the Two Han Dynasties, the Three Kingdoms, the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, or even the Qing Dynasty.
Even during the Republic of China, there were several melee wars between warlords and several frictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
In the eyes of some politicians, the number of troops, the amount of losses, and the amount of consumption are just numbers. Anyway, there are so many Chinese people that they are inexhaustible. Some people even think that a gun or a cannon is worth more than a soldier.
Life is much more valuable.
In the eyes of these people, the lives of soldiers are nothing but numbers.

Kwantung Army Headquarters
"Yoshi, many wars are not superficial." Umezu Yoshijiro said with satisfaction, "Sometimes, one person is far more important than an army."
"Hi!" Iimura Rang nodded, "Although we are still operating this incident and hope it will ferment more strongly, the troops of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party seem to have suddenly stopped again. I really can't understand what the Chinese are doing.
idea.”
"Haha." Umezu Yoshijiro smiled, "They are too complicated, but it's best if we don't have to worry. We hope they fight, the harder the better, there are too many people in China."
Iimura Rang also nodded in agreement.
"As for the independent division, while we were still searching through the map of French Indochina, Zhou Weiguo had already returned to Shandong." Umezu Yoshijiro was slightly emotional. Of course, he knew this news because of Zhao Defang's "credit".
"It's really difficult to deal with."
"However, in the past six months, the empire's resources have been enriched, and there has been a certain amount of stockpiling of new rifles, which can be equipped with China's dispatched troops first." Umezu Yoshijiro said, "It seems that rifles alone are not enough, zero
The shortcomings of the formula are still obvious and have not improved, but they have caught up in terms of quantity."
"Furthermore, there is news that the empire has made progress in researching radar." Umezu Yoshijiro continued, "In this way, we will not be unable to discover the independent division's fighters. If it proves to be useful, I will apply to install it in Manchukuo.
Some."
"But, even so, we still can't make any big moves on the Chinese battlefield." Iimura Rang sighed, "Unless the empire has enough troops to deal with the independent division, the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang army at the same time, once the imperial army has something
If there is any change, the Chinese people will probably turn to the outside world in unison."
Umezu Yoshijiro frowned, because Iimura Rang was right.
At this time, the situation between China and Japan had stabilized and entered a stalemate stage. This was the basis for Chiang Kai-shek to create anti-communist friction and the Southern Anhui Incident without any scruples.
…
Zhou Weiguo looked at the newspaper and saw that it was Xinhua Daily. On it was Mr. Zhou’s inscription on the Wannan Incident, “My condolences to those who died in Jiangnan in national calamity!” “Three grievances through the ages are shared by one leaf in Jiangnan; if the same roommates are at war with each other, why bother?!”
Putting down the newspaper, Zhou Weiguo sighed. Sure enough, many things had not changed and still happened.
It was when the Kuomintang suppressed the Communists again and again that the Communist Party could gain more and more support from the people.
When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer.
In this era, the Communist Party will understand the sufferings of the common people more deeply and thoroughly than the Kuomintang. To be honest, without the Communist Party, there would be no New China. This is an ironclad fact.
Otherwise, how could the People's Liberation Army gain so much support from the people during the Liberation War?
The Chinese people have been oppressed by foreign powers for almost a hundred years!
What kind of concept is this? A century!
The common people cannot hold their heads up in front of foreigners!
China cannot hold its head high in front of the great powers!
Only when the people are rich and the country is strong can the motherland stand strong!
In this era, China cannot be destroyed or established.
Confucianism, which has ruled China for nearly 2,000 years, and what most people agree on, is that "the people are the most important, the king is the most important, and the country is the second most important thing." Only when the people get real benefits and live a good life can we
It is a truly good world.
Zhou Weiguo rubbed his brows and thought a lot. What he could do has been done, and the rest can only be like this.
…
"Ichiro, when you see the Soviet representative later, don't act out of emotion!" A Japanese major general warned a senior officer, "The relationship with the Soviet Union is related to the empire's decision-making! You can't mess around like last time! Best, you
You have to apologize to the Soviet representative!”
"Hi!" The Japanese commander reluctantly agreed. The existence of the Kwantung Army was not only to suppress Manchuria, but also to defend against the Soviet Union.
After a while, a Soviet man with a high nose walked into the room, followed by several Soviet soldiers.
