Historically, Okamura Neiji only admitted to engaging in the three-no policy.
But in fact, Okamura Neji not only pursued the three-no policy, but also the three-guang policy.
The so-called three-no policy refers to "no burning, no killing, and no looting", while the so-called three-no policy refers to "burn all, kill all, and rob all."
The two may seem incompatible, but that's not necessarily the case.
Neji Okamura, an old devil, combined the two very well, and achieved results beyond expectations.
In real history, Neji Okamura's predecessor, Shun Tada, focused exclusively on the Three-Guang policy in North China, but the results were ineffective. The more the Japanese army implemented the Three-Guang policy in the guerrilla zones, the stronger the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas became. Shortly
In just two years, the strength of the Eighth Route Army has grown from 30,000 to more than 400,000, and the base area has also expanded tenfold. Several large base areas have even been connected into one area!
When the Japanese base camp saw that this was not going to work, they quickly changed people and transferred Okamura Neiji, who had performed well in Wuhan, to North China to serve as the commander of the Chinese Front Army.
After Okamura Neji took office, he immediately implemented a three-no policy.
Compared with Tada Shun's three-no policy, this three-no policy was so mild. The people in the occupied areas of North China immediately felt that their lives were much better, and in fact they were indeed much safer.
But if it's just like this, it can't be called great at all.
In addition to implementing the three-no policy in the model security area and giving dignity to the Chinese people, Okamura Neiji also continued to implement the three-no policy in the guerrilla areas, and the intensity was even worse than that of Tada Shunsuke. According to Okamura Neiji's instructions
Giving orders to the divisions and independent mixed brigades of the North China Front, this old devil really planned to turn the guerrilla zone where the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army were at odds with each other into a no-man's land, and use this to completely trap the Eighth Route Army's base area.
In real history, Neji Okamura's policy of "three noes" and "three noes" has achieved good results. Less than two years after this old devil took office, the strength of the Eighth Route Army dropped sharply from 400,000 to 200,000.
The area has also shrunk sharply, the population has also decreased sharply, and the situation has become increasingly difficult.
Even CEO Peng admits that Okamura Neji is a more difficult opponent than Tada Shun.
Fortunately, in this time and space, Okamura Neji had already been shot to death by Xu Rui in Jiujiang.
However, there are gains and losses. Xu Rui shot Okamura Neji to death, but unexpectedly brought trouble to himself. The relationship between Higashiya Niguhiko and Okamura Neji was unknown, and he actually killed Okamura Neji.
The same trick was used on Dameishan. Now, the Dameishan Military Division was in real trouble.
Leng Tiefeng vented his anger, calmed down, and asked Yao Lei: "Commander Yao, what on earth is going on?"
Seeing that Leng Tiefeng had completely calmed down, Yao Lei said: "Deputy Commander, this is the Japanese taking revenge on us."
"Revenge?" Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "How can I say this?"
Yao Lei said: "Commander, deputy commander, you are coming back from northern Jiangsu. You should have seen the blockade ditch built by the Japanese on the way, right?"
"Yes." Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "What does this have to do with the enemy's revenge?"
Yao Lei said: "The Japs started building the blockade ditch on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In order to please the Japs, the puppet government officials in Tianchang County recruited tens of thousands of civilians, including 10 people over 60 years old.
Children of many years old were not spared, and a large number of pseudo-military police were dispatched to supervise the work on site, so the project progressed very quickly."
Leng Tiefeng nodded and said: "We have also seen this. The blockade ditch has already taken shape."
"Yes, once the Japanese build the blockade trench, our base will be cut off from the outside world. If that's the case, how can we still do it?" Yao Lei nodded and added, "So we decided to break it.
Attack, just last night, we attacked a Japanese construction site, pulled out two gun towers, and filled in thousands of meters of trenches!"
"Well done!" Leng Tiefeng said happily, "You should do this as a battalion."
"But..." Yao Lei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Today the devil's revenge is coming."
Leng Tiefeng's brows immediately tightened and he said: "Battle Commander Yao, are you saying that the reason why the Japs attacked here and killed so many unarmed people was just to retaliate for your attack last night?"
"Yes." Yao Lei nodded and said, "Because this is not an isolated action. Just two days ago, the Second Battalion also carried out a raid. As a result, they also suffered revenge from the Japanese. Guan County and Shan County also had
The attitude of the little devils is very clear about this kind of thing. If we carry out an attack, they will massacre a village in revenge."
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said: "Since you know that the Japanese will come for revenge, why don't you make preparations in advance and ambush them?"
Yao Lei smiled bitterly and said, "But we don't know where the Japanese will come."
Leng Tiefeng said displeasedly: "Why don't you send someone to keep an eye on the Japanese?"
"I sent people to keep an eye on the little Japs. The militiamen from the district team have been watching the little Japs." Yao Lei said with a wry smile, "But now, the Little Japs have become more sophisticated and know how to play tricks with us. Every time they attack,
, the Japs are linking up with more than a dozen strongholds, but most of them are just feints, but we can't tell the truth from the lies."
Leng Tiefeng was speechless after hearing this, and after a long while he said: "The little devil has turned into a spirit."
Yao Lei turned his gaze to Xu Rui and asked with a grimace: "Captain, can we break the attack now?"
"Don't carry out the attack for now." Xu Rui said, "Collect the troops and wait for orders from the headquarters."
"Yes." Yao Lei agreed and led a battalion of officers and soldiers to put out the fire in Xiaoli Village and bury the dead villagers. Xu Rui and the officers and soldiers of the Langya Brigade returned directly to Meixian County.

When Xu Rui came back, Wang Husheng was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
In the past, the Japanese often massacred villages. For example, during the two raids on Damei Mountain, more than a dozen villages or market towns, including Badou Town, were massacred by the Japanese, with at least several thousand people killed.
Innocent people died, but these massacres were carried out by the Japanese as part of their march.
However, now, the Japs' massacres are extremely targeted.
If you don't move, I won't move. If you move, I will massacre the village immediately! And whether it is the timing of the attack or the cover, it is very skillful. To say that the Japanese do not have a complete and rigorous plan, no idiot will believe it. It is obvious.
, these massacres by the little devils were carried out in response to the raids on the Dameishan Military Division.
This was hard for Wang Husheng. The attack would definitely be impossible if the attack was not broken. We couldn't wait foolishly for the little devils to build a blockade ditch hundreds of kilometers long and then trap their Dameishan base area to death. But if the attack was broken
, and there is no way to stop the Japs’ revenge, because there are so many targets that the Japs can choose to attack!
On the outskirts of the Dameishan base area, including Guanxian, Shanxian and Puxian, there are at least thousands of villages within twenty miles of the Japanese-occupied area. Although the Dameishan Military Division has stationed a village in each of the three outer counties,
However, these three regiments alone are required to protect thousands of villages, which is simply impossible.
So now Wang Husheng is really in a dilemma. If he doesn't carry out a counterattack, he will have to wait for death. But if he carries out a counterattack, the people on the periphery of the base area will suffer! What should he do?
So when he saw Xu Rui, Wang Husheng immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
"Old Xu, you are back." Wang Husheng said, "If you don't come back, I will hang myself."
Xu Rui strode into the headquarters. He didn't even go back home. He came directly to the headquarters. As he walked in, Xu Rui said to Wang Husheng: "Old Wang, I already understand the situation, and on the way back
We also witnessed with our own eyes the atrocities committed by the Japanese in Xiaoli Village. Don’t worry, we will get back this blood debt soon!”
Wang Husheng gave a heavy hum and said bitterly: "Yes, this blood debt must be repaid!"
Leng Tiefeng also said coldly: "Only people from our Dameishan Military Division have always bullied others. No one has ever dared to bully us. Now the little devil has come to our base area to run wild and dare to ride on our Dameishan Army."
The head of the division came to poop and urinate, and it turned against them!"
Xu Rui said: "However, before we can think of good countermeasures, all sabotage operations must be stopped."
Wang Husheng nodded and said: "Just now, I have given an order. The first regiment, second regiment, independent regiment and the militia brigades of each county stationed on the periphery have all suspended their raiding operations."
Xu Rui said: "Okay, now let's discuss countermeasures."

Nanjing Fanghua Garden, Twelfth Army Headquarters.
A communications staff officer hurriedly walked into the war room, stood upright, and then reported to Aoki Shigemai, who was standing by the simulation sand table: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, Bengbu County, Xuyi County and Tianchang County will report at the same time, starting this afternoon
, the Dameishan Independent Regiment has suspended all raiding operations."
"Really?" Itagaki Seishiro, who was resting on the Taishi chair next to him, immediately opened his eyes and said happily, "Has the Dameishan Independent Regiment suspended its attack operations?" After saying that, Itagaki Seishiro said to Aoki Shigemai, "Aoki
Sang, it seems that your method is working, and the Dameishan Independent Regiment has indeed stopped attacking."
But it turned out that this Japanese revenge action was designed by this little Japanese kid, Shigemao Aoki.
"Hai!" Aoki Shigemagi paused heavily, with no expression on his face, but deep down he was quite proud. He added, "But your Excellency, Commander, the imperial army should not be careless. You need to know that Xu Rui is even more powerful than Langdu."
Cunning, he may not always be able to think of a way to crack it, not to mention, Xu Rui still has Wolf Fang under his command!"
"Sodais." Itagaki Seishiro said, "The threat of Wolf Fang must not be underestimated!"
After finishing speaking, Itagaki Seishiro turned his eyes to the east again and said quietly: "I wonder how the training camp in Jeju Island, Ogahara-san, is going?"
