Not everyone among the top brass of the Japanese army had doubts about the 4th Division's ability to gain a foothold in Qiongxi Southwest. However, because they were busy launching an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Xuebing Army, they could not spare the energy to take care of this matter, so they left it to the 4th Division. The regiment "tenaciously" survived in Qiongnan, and gradually the following treacherous situation formed. On the one hand, the officers of the 4th Division led by Shigeru Sawada and Seiichiro Kuroda turned into slave traders for human trafficking. A steady stream of various Japanese technicians were provided to the Haikou base of Xuebing Army Navy; on the other hand, they were engaged in smuggling business, and various advanced products of Xuebing Army flowed into Japan through their hands, becoming Xuebing Army. Military exports are another important channel for earning foreign exchange.
The 4th Division miraculously gained a foothold in southwestern Qiongzhou. The ones who knew the most about Mao Ni were Koizumi Minichiro and Yamamoto Isoroku. However, judging from the current situation, they had no intention of intervening in this matter. Therefore, the 4th Division The regiment was able to continue to exist in southwest Qiong, and began to form its own system, becoming a strange force in the Japanese occupation force system.
Koizumi and Yamamoto knew clearly that the 4th Division had problems but ignored them, and even sent their capable subordinates to participate in smuggling supplies for the cadet army. Out of practical needs, looking at the world, the only countries that can produce semiconductor chips are the United States and Japan. Xuebing Army's several enterprises, American technology comes from Xuebing Army. Xuebing Army has obtained support from the US government and military. Not only can it continue to build aircraft carriers and related auxiliary warships in the United States, but it can also send personnel to accept them. For related training, when the two parties signed the agreement, Gu Lianyun adhered to Ouyang Yun's will and made it clear that semiconductors produced by American companies must not be sold to hostile countries of the Xuebing Army. Originally, this was not enough to restrict the Japanese through smuggling. Semiconductor components were obtained from the United States. However, during last year's confrontation, Japan's influence in the American underworld was almost uprooted by Gu Lianyun. The Japanese lost the ability to smuggle from the United States and could only rely on Seiichiro Kuroda. channel,
Sawada Shigeru is not a fool. He understands the interests involved, so he has a clear understanding of the positioning of himself and the 4th Division. While making a lot of money from the war, he organized troops to engage in civil construction in the southwestern area of Qiongzhou. Gradually, He built a group of fortresses in southwest Qiong, which were impregnable.
When the 4th Division just started building bunkers and building an underground defense system, Shan Renxiong was still very worried, fearing that if he couldn't control it well, he would catch fire and burn himself. When the situation was reported to Ouyang Yun, he responded to Shan Renxiong with a smile: "It's nothing good. Worryingly, if it were another Japanese army, we would really have to be more careful, but the 4th Division, hey, let them dig as much as they like, a mouse will always be a mouse, no matter how deep he digs the hole, he can't be a mouse. Cat rivals, that's a good thing, leave them alone."
The Xuebing Army left it alone, and the 4th Division's ability to drill holes was fully utilized. This situation was reported to Yamamoto Isoroku. The old Japanese felt relieved and gradually had other ideas, so with his acquiescence, The smuggling activities presided over by Kuroda Seiichiro became more and more rampant, and gradually turned into a spectacle in the history of World War II.
The Japanese want to obtain Xuebingjun's semiconductor components through smuggling, but the price they pay is high. Xuebingjun only allows smuggling of electronic finished products. Therefore, if the Japanese want to obtain semiconductor components, they can only first buy those electronic watches and semiconductors. Radios and TVs are then dismantled to obtain the required components. Before Koizumi Miichiro builds a semiconductor chip production line, this smuggling activity will inevitably continue for a long time.
The senior leaders of the 4th Division, such as Sawada Shigeru and Kuroda Seiichiro, were still afraid of the cadet army. They still had clear priorities when they came into contact with the cadet army. However, the soldiers below were much simpler. During the day, both sides The fighting was fierce, but groups of people would visit privately at night. Gradually, an inexplicable emotion spread in the hearts of the lower-level officers and soldiers of the 4th Division, so that many Japanese soldiers were told by "friendly troops" that they were "Captured" comrades will inevitably have the idea of taking the initiative to become "captives" when they see how they enjoy happiness and wealth on the opposite side. Of course, the Xuebing Army has very high requirements for "captives", and they cannot succeed without a skill. This often causes All the Japs lamented: Why didn’t I study hard when I was in school?
River crabs have become the mainstream melody in the interactions between the Japs of the 4th Division and the cadets of the Fifth Army, but not without unpleasant things happening. The cadets have their own bottom line, and the Japs who violate this bottom line can be punished. It's tragic. Being beaten is a minor thing. Some people will be recruited as laborers by the "locals", and some people are so bold that they commit adultery, so they can wait to be castrated.
Those who can be selected to come into contact with the Japanese from the Fifth Army are all veteran soldiers with relatively strong ideological qualities. But even so, there will be some violations of military discipline. The 4th Division has comfort women. Consider The feeling of the cadet army was that these comfort women were all from Japan or North Korea. The Japanese soldiers became familiar with some of the cadet soldiers, and some people promoted their benefits to the cadet soldiers. At first, these Japanese soldiers were simply doing it for They wanted to add a little color to their military career so as to pass the boring time. The trainees were able to refuse righteously at first, but they couldn't resist the Japanese's repeated invitations, so some of them refused. They couldn't stand it any longer, and once there was one, there was a second one. Soon, this was noticed by some officers with ulterior motives, so they took up the idea of these trainees. The original plan of these officers did not involve The purpose of the military is to obtain from these cadets some luxury goods (such as Dadao brand cigarettes) or military products (such as high-top canvas military shoes) that the cadets are restricted from selling. However, after the top brass of the cadets learned about this matter, this The nature is different,
Shan Renxiong took action quickly, and what shocked him and made him break out in a cold sweat was that it was finally discovered that there were more than a hundred cadets involved, and there was a school officer among them. Regarding this matter, Shan Renxiong Naturally, he had to deal with it seriously, and after absorbing the lessons from this incident, he no longer dared to allow his subordinates to have wanton contact with the Japanese. It happened that the massacres in Nanyuan and Shantouzi Village happened, and the commander-in-chief wanted to publicly try the culprits, Hisao Tani and others, as a warning. Xueyou gave an explanation to the people. He had an idea and came up with the idea of organizing a visit for the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division as a deterrent.
The 4th Division has always been in a passive position in dealing with the Fifth Army. According to what the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division said privately, in addition to the active division commander Sawada Shigeru, their division also has a supreme division commander. , the commander of the Taishang Division is Dan Renxiong. The words of the commander of the Taishang Division are more effective than those of active division commanders. Shan Renxiong’s meaning was conveyed. Sawada Shigeru has not yet decided whether to accept it. The officers and soldiers below have already They began to talk about it excitedly. What made Shigeru Sawada so angry that he almost vomited blood was that some of the guys whose legs weakened when they heard the gunshots actually wrote letters in blood recommending themselves, clamoring to participate in this event to express themselves. To be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, well, Sawada Shigeru was worried at first that no one would want to go, but as a result, there were more than 500 people who signed up, and in the end he had to draw lots to decide who could go. It was a miracle. After experiencing this, he finally understood what it meant to show his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. They were showing their sincerity to the military academy.
