After Toichi Sasaki explained to Ishihara Wanji why General Ueda Kenkichi was in a hurry to transfer him back, his face that had brightened a little became extremely gloomy again. [.Com text]
When Ishihara Wanji's words fell, he said with great dissatisfaction: "Ishihara-kun, did I hear wrongly, or has the Kwantung Army's intelligence collection ability declined? The opponent has already eaten up so many of our troops, and he is still continuously attacking us before our eyes.
They disappeared twice under the child, and the Kwantung Army still hasn't found out where their hiding place is? Ishihara-kun, don't you think this is ridiculous? When did the Kwantung Army become such a waste?"
Hearing Sasaki's sarcastic words, Ishihara Wan'er couldn't help but blush slightly and said: "Your Excellency, this is my dereliction of duty. But at present, we have almost completed all the mountainous areas in Wuchang, Acheng, Zhuhe, and Weihe.
We searched all over, but could not find any trace of them. We only found the remains of the fallen soldiers of the Japanese and Manchurian armies who were ambushed and killed by them in the Weian Mountain area of Weihe River."
"However, we have now begun to change the reconnaissance plan. Not only have we dispatched a large number of spies disguised as woodcutters, ginseng pickers and even hunters into the mountains to search. We have also dispatched a large number of reconnaissance planes to expand the search scope. For Ning'an, Yanshou
, Shulan and other places to conduct aerial reconnaissance in the mountainous areas around Laoye Ridge and Zhangguangcai Ridge. Please rest assured that as long as we are given a certain amount of time, we will definitely find out these damn Chinese people. I believe these people have not escaped from these areas.
He must still be hiding in some secret corner."
"Now the weather has gradually turned colder, and the mountainous areas where these Chinese people are hiding are already biting by the cold wind. These Chinese people can still hold on during the day, but at night, they must light bonfires to keep warm. In the dark mountain forests of Beiman at night
Among them, if someone lights a bonfire, our night reconnaissance aircraft will easily find their traces."
"Although Your Excellency was transferred from the Kwantung Army for a period of time, the policy you formulated to merge villages into villages, separate civilians from bandits, and forcibly relocate residents from areas where bandits are active, especially those in the mountains, has never stopped and has been receiving strong support.
Implementation.”
"After the efforts from last year to this year, the mountains and forests of northern Manchuria, especially those areas where anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements are active, can be said to be devoid of any human habitation except for the logging camps run by the empire."
"If there are still people lighting bonfires to keep warm in the mountains and forests at night, then they can be sure to be these people. Because the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements who were originally active in this area have moved north or south under the continuous attacks of the Kwantung Army."
Hearing Ishihara Wanji's answer, Sasaki nodded reluctantly in agreement. But he asked unwillingly: "Didn't we get any valuable information from the interrogation of the prisoners of war? You know, even though the Chinese
There are many hard-nosed people among them, but there are also many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Under severe torture, there are only a few who can persist in not opening their mouths."
When Sasaki asked about the prisoners of war, Ishihara Wanji looked ashamed and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, we have not been able to capture a living person so far in the battle with these ruthless bandits."
A prisoner of war who had time to ask for a confession. During the pursuit on the Ashe River, a seriously injured prisoner of war was captured. Unfortunately, that guy tore out his own intestines and committed suicide before he could ask questions."
Having said this, Ishihara Wanji lowered his head deeply and bowed to Sasaki Yuichi: "Your Excellency, this China force moves erratically and is especially good at using ambush tactics. Although its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Imperial Army soldiers, even Manchuria soldiers
**, but was repeatedly succeeded by it because of its cunning. Our army suffered heavy casualties in the battle with it, not only losing a large number of soldiers and equipment, but also a large number of well-trained officers. Even Major General Masadero Nozomi
Died in the line of duty."
"The Kwantung Army set up ambushes several times in order to annihilate it in one fell swoop, but did not expect that it would escape many times. Our army failed to attack, but suffered heavy casualties. Not counting other battles, as well as the casualties of the Manchurian police and police forces, only in Wuchang
, in the battle at the border area of Acheng, our loyal and brave imperial soldiers suffered more than a thousand casualties."
"Your Excellency has served as the top military adviser in Manchukuo for many years, and is known as the father of the Manchurian revolution within the Kwantung Army. His experience in dealing with various anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese elements is unparalleled in the Kwantung Army. So this time, General Ueda Kenkichi
I am transferring you back to the Kwantung Army in the hope that I can use your experience to wipe out all these ruthless bandits who hold the empire's highest core secrets. Please, Your Excellency."
"The empire's top secret? What's going on?" Sasaki was stunned when he heard that Major General Kanji Ishihara actually mentioned that the opponent he was about to face actually possessed the empire's top secret.
At this point, Ishihara Kanji had no need to hide anything, so he simply poured beans out of a bamboo tube and said everything: "After these Chinese people escaped from the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, when the Kwantung Army inspected the scene,
It was found that all the information previously obtained by the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department at the Wuchang Beiyinhe Base was lost. However, no traces of burning were left at the site."
"Furthermore, some of the latest chemical warfare weapons data of the Empire that accompanied the experts from the Ministry of Chemical Weapons to the bungalow area were also lost. Not only were these data lost, which would bring serious harm to the Empire if they were publicized at all, but the commander of the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply was also the commander of the Kwantung Army.
The passwords used to communicate with the headquarters and the Tokyo Military Headquarters, and the radio stations were also lost."
"Yaka, bastard." Hearing Ishihara Wanji's words, Sasaki couldn't describe his anger. As a senior general of the Japanese army, he had previously served as a military adviser to the Nationalist Government for many years and a diplomatic envoy.
Understand the consequences if this information is leaked.
If the whole world knew that the mighty Empire of Japan actually used living people for human experiments and cultivated bacterial weapons that could destroy the entire world, then the Empire of Japan would become a public enemy of the world. This cannot be solved by introducing one or two scapegoats.
The Empire of Japan is the number one power in Asia, but that is in Asia. For the entire world, the national strength of the Empire of Japan is far from being comparable to those of the established powers in the West. Once this information is leaked, it will
Empire brings unpredictable consequences.
After the Imperial Army captured Nanjing, it could not be solved by just introducing a scapegoat after killing hundreds of thousands of people. You must know that the Imperial Army killed hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing. After all, it was on the territory of China, and it was only Chinese people.
That's all.
For those hypocritical Westerners who always hold an attitude of not caring about themselves, as long as their own core interests are not involved, the most they can do is protest. Even if the Japanese army killed millions of people in China, it would be nothing more than a few words.
It's just a matter between China and Japan.
Last year, in order to deter the Chinese who still dared to resist, the Imperial Army showed off its power in Nanjing and executed hundreds of thousands of people. Westerners did not stop exporting strategic materials to the Empire. Not even a pint of gasoline or a kilogram of steel.
Selling less. Those dry verbal protests are not even scratching the surface.
But bacteria have no national borders. Once it spreads, the Chinese will not be the only ones to be unlucky. Using human bodies for weapons experiments, even if it leaks out, it won’t be a big deal. But once the empire develops bacterial weapons of mass destruction, it won’t be a big deal.
It turns out that when those Westerners feel that they are also facing threats, they will not just protest verbally.
For a low-cost but powerful weapon like germ warfare, Sasaki Toichi believes that Japan will not be the only one developing it. I am afraid that none of the Western powers are still frightened by the mountains of corpses and blood of World War I.
Do less research. But scandals happen in every family, and a good person is a good person if they don't leak it. Others are also developing it, but if they cover it up well and don't leak it, nothing will happen. If you leak it, you will become a public enemy of the whole world.
It would be okay if only the information was obtained by these people. Considering the empire's control over Manchuria, these Chinese people would not be able to escape even if they took the information. But these hateful Chinese people actually have radio stations in their hands now, which is amazing.
. With the radio, communication with the outside world is much more convenient. No matter how secretive something is, the whole world will know it once the electricity is turned on.
Sasaki is indeed a cunning guy. He saw the key to the matter at a glance. The Kwantung Army was anxious to transfer him back, not because these people killed an army major general, nor because these people were powerful in combat.
People cannot subdue them, but they are eager to completely eliminate them to prevent the leakage of these top-secret information.
In fact, when Sasaki went to Lieutenant General No. 1, he learned that his future opponent had radio stations in the air at this time, but was troubled by being unable to get in touch with Kanai without the password. Among all the radio stations, there were also those lost by the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department.
The high-power radio station that can communicate with the interior of the pass has also become an ear decoration for the deaf because the small amount of gasoline used for power generation was used to consume the embers.
Fifty-watt and one-hundred-watt radio stations cannot be supported by the power generated by dry batteries and hand-crank motors. For 50-watt radio stations, the power generated by the hand-crank motor can only be used for listening. As for sending reports, it cannot be used at all.
It can't be supported.
As for a one-hundred-watt radio station, don't even think about it. If you want to use a radio station with that kind of power, in the absence of a fixed power supply, you can only use the electricity generated by a gasoline generator to support its use.
After all, he did not study communications, let alone a professional. Yang Zhen, who was troubled by the loss of use of the few high-power radios, did not expect that he had made an empirical mistake. In Yang Zhen's view, in today's communications
The means are backward. Without satellite phones and mobile phones, long-distance communication can only be done by using high-power radios with a power of more than 50 watts. As for radios with 15 watts, they cannot make long-distance communications at all due to the distance.
Yang Zhen did not expect that his electromagnetic environment in later generations would be far from what it is now. Not to mention other almost ubiquitous mobile phone signals, which can effectively interfere with radio signals. Although Yang Zhen used jumpers in later generations,
Frequency radio stations, but the signals that can cause interference in future generations are also diverse and of many types. Only you can't think of it, and there is nothing you can't find.
In addition to the astonishing number of mobile phones, various public and underground radio signals are almost everywhere, causing great interference to radio signals. Yang Zhen once heard a true joke in later generations, in Taiwan
After being equipped with the American Hawkeye early warning aircraft, due to signal interference from almost ubiquitous underground radio stations, this extremely advanced equipment has been greatly reduced in efficiency over Taiwan except when flying over the high seas.
There was an incident in the Taiwan Air Force in which an early warning aircraft staff had no choice but to listen to a drug advertisement in the sky for half an hour because the communication frequency was interfered with. Although this incident is somewhat absurd, it is enough to illustrate the complexity of the electromagnetic environment in later generations.
But the electromagnetic environment at this time was much cleaner than that of later generations. Except for a small number of radio stations, there was almost no signal interference. Even if a fifteen-watt radio station was used, as long as it had a long enough antenna, it could communicate with Yan'an and even
Get in touch with Chongqing. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have a communication password.
Yang Zhen made a common sense mistake, but Guo Bingxun, another member of the army who knew a lot about radio stations, made an empirical mistake. He learned all this knowledge abroad, especially in a country known for its military discipline.
Studied in France.
At the Saint-Cyr Military Academy, no instructor told him that using a 15-watt radio could enable long-distance communication through certain methods. Because France, as the most developed country in the world, has no shortage of basic military supplies such as radios.
, there are all kinds of radio stations with various powers, especially high-power radio stations. There is no need to forcefully use fifteen-watt radio stations, which are regarded as low-power radio stations in their eyes, for long-distance communication.
The two people who were barely above half-proficient didn’t think of it, and no one thought of the other people who didn’t know much about radio stations, especially those who lacked high-quality professional talents. Even among the operators trained by Guo Bingxun’s crash course,
The best thing can only be regarded as half a bottle of water. His own business training still needs to be strengthened. How can he think of changing the antenna? So after the seized gasoline was consumed, Yang Zhen’s biggest headache was losing the only possibility to communicate with Guan Nei.
Can contact the means.
Of course, Sasaki Toichi and Ishihara Kanji didn't know about Yang Zhen's troubles, nor did the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Compared with the embarrassment Yang Zhen brought to them, they cared more about the epidemic prevention and water supply department staff that Yang Zhen had on hand.
Will the data be leaked?
After figuring out the key to the matter, Sasaki calmed down. Looking at Major General Ishihara Wanji who was looking at him expectantly, Sasaki smiled and said: "Ishihara-kun, don't be anxious, go back and tell Commander Ueda,
At least the information has not been leaked so far."
"Now the imperial army has captured Wuhan, the most important city in China besides Nanjing. As for the Chinese government, which has been demoted to a local government, its small number of modern industrial bases have all fallen into the hands of the imperial army."
"Now that the Chinese government has moved west to Chongqing, the modern industry on hand is almost negligible, and it is far from being able to provide enough weapons and equipment for its own army, which is large but poorly equipped."
"Although China is rich, it is about resources. For an agricultural country, China's economic foundation is far from being able to support a modern war. Although the war lasted only a year and a half, China lost its richest place.
The government is at its wits end. If it obtains this information, will the Chinese government, which is eager to seek international support, make this information public, or will it remain silent as it is now?"
"The leader of the Chinese people who dared to rebel had a very clear mind. He knew that the information was no better than a pile of waste paper before it was communicated with his government. Without contact with the outside world,
, Even if he publishes this information through the Internet, how many people will believe it? Without the support of the government, what is the use of even if he sends out the electricity?"
"Therefore, the Kwantung Army does not need to be too nervous about the loss of these data. Even if those Chinese people use clear telegrams to announce it, we, these Chinese people, can completely shirk the responsibility by making rumors in order to attract international attention.
Anyway, the Imperial Foreign Ministry officials are thick-skinned enough and won’t care about this time.”
Having said this, Sasaki's expression changed and he said seriously: "However, we cannot underestimate the harm these people will bring in the future. The most important thing we should do is to nip all dangerous factors in the bud."
"Please Ishihara-kun please go back and tell Commander Ueda to order a full blockade of the Manchu-Soviet border. As long as these people do not bring this information to Soviet Russia, for now, the threat to us is not great."
Having said that, Sasaki walked to the large map hanging in the secret room, picked up the baton and pointed at the map and said: "As for the elimination of these people, I think we need to change our tactics before we find out their specific hiding places.
.”
"According to Mr. Ishihara's account, this man is a master of guerrilla warfare and deserves our attention. In the dense mountains and forests of northern Manchuria, without the leadership of anyone, especially without the cooperation of traitors, he rashly
If we go into the mountains to clean up, we will be very passive."
