The negative impact of the doping incident was quite fatal to the Japanese army. Not to mention the rebellions of the Manchukuo National Defense Force and the Korean Co-Prosperity Army one after another, what made Okamura Neiji and Yamada Otsuzo feel distressed was that because there had already been people in the army. Rumors spread about the normalized use of stimulants, so stimulants also caused panic among Japanese soldiers. Panic is contagious, but neither Okamura Neji nor Yamada Otsuzo realized the seriousness of the problem. , and because the credibility of the senior Japanese generals has been exhausted in these years, even though Okamura Neiji and Yamada Otsuzo have repeatedly emphasized that they will abolish the use of stimulants, they cannot eliminate it. The soldiers at the bottom were suspicious. So, just when Okamura and Yamada were preparing to mobilize their forces to wipe out the rebellious Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Force and the Korean Co-Prosperity Army, something unprecedented happened. First, a squadron of the North China Front Army fled collectively. The Kwantung Army also experienced mass escapes at the squad level.
What needs to be explained here is that when the Japanese army invaded China, its soldiers were all well-trained veterans with excellent physical and mental qualities. After these years of consumption, these veterans have basically become They became fertilizer on the land of China, Southeast Asia and even Australia, and they were replaced by some newcomers who had undergone emergency training. When Ishihara Wanji was in power, he was aware of this problem and strictly ordered the troops below to strengthen the training of the troops. However, , because at that time China was already strong and Japan was weak, so his correct order could not be effectively implemented. This is why Koizumi Toshiichiro was willing to risk the world's disapproval to crack down on doping.
It was one morning. Okamura Neiji was listening to the new combat plan delivered by Nakajima Keishin, the chief of the North China Front's Operations Section. Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang. As the commander of the North China Front, his phone was always the busiest. Yes, so he didn't pay attention at first. He just glanced at the adjutant Yamashita Wan standing behind him and signaled the latter to call. But later, Yamashita Wan's words caught his attention and made him immediately frown. frowned.
"...The Nomura Squadron has disappeared collectively, are you sure?"
"Nani, call me." Okamura answered the phone. A few minutes later, his face turned livid, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Nakajima Keishin, who came over: "Nomura from the Ninth Division The squadron disappeared en masse, and according to witnesses, they may have fled to the western front of the Great Wall."
"You mean, No, the Nomura squadron collectively surrendered to the Chinese, Bage, this bastard Nomura, you still think so highly of him," Nakajima said mid-sentence, and saw that Okamura's face had started to turn dark, so he quickly stopped. But the tide in his heart was still rising, and he could not calm down. Another voice was shouting: Oh my God, is this battle impossible to fight?
As a veteran, Nakajima has personally experienced the entire process from the beginning of the invasion of China to the present. Because of this, he feels a very strong sense of loss in his heart, and he often spends several minutes or even ten minutes in a daze thinking about nothing. Understand why the situation has evolved to this point, and why the imperial army, once invincible and known as the second strongest army in the world, cannot even defeat the Sick Man of East Asia.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Yamashita, please immediately send me an order to order all officers above the commander of the regiment to strengthen the management of the army from now on and never allow similar incidents to happen. If this happens again in any army, then the army will Chief, just commit seppuku. It’s really too shameful. Also, you should immediately go find Tasaka Hachiba and ask him to find a way to seal this matter. Also, get Jiro Ota immediately, Hachiko. How did he, as the head of the Special Higher Education Course, actually allow Chinese spies to infiltrate the army, Ba Ge."
Because of his understanding or fear of his opponent, Okamura took it for granted that there must be Chinese agents behind the collective escape of Nomura Squadron. In this matter, he really wronged the Chinese Central Intelligence Agency.
In the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Yun received the report first. The person who reported it to him was Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang asked him for instructions on the phone, saying that a squadron of Japanese soldiers had surrendered en masse and asked him how to deal with it, "...the little one has a hairy mouth." They are not fully grown yet, and the older ones are in their early fifties, so they should be new recruits who have just been forcibly recruited." Zhang Xueliang finally said on the phone.
In the past, Ouyang Yun might have complained about Zhang Xueliang and asked for instructions on such a matter. However, now that China has become the boss of the United Nations and the Allied Forces, because foreign reporters often accompany the army, he still needs to make gestures when it is time to do so. I will try my best to show my posture.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "This is probably the first time that the Japanese army surrendered without a fight. Haha, of course you have to accept it. Not only do you have to accept it, but the ceremony should be as grand as possible. There are not a few foreign reporters who have been following you. Do you want to conduct an interview? This matter can be widely reported by them to show that our army is a civilized and mighty army." After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Yun thought about it seriously and thought that this matter was the work of the CIA. , because he felt that this kind of thing would greatly damage the morale of the Japanese army, so he called Chang Gen and wanted him to keep up his efforts. Who knew that Chang Gen received the call but said that he had no knowledge of it. Only then did he know that it turned out that the Nomura Squadron was involved in a collective attack. The surrender was actually voluntary.
A squadron-sized soldiers surrendered en masse, and now Tojo Hideki is in charge. The consequences of this incident are too serious, so Okamura not only did not dare to report it, but even signaled to Tasaka Eighty-Eight to transfer some from other regiments. People reorganized the Nomura Squadron, but only three days after this incident, a similar incident happened to the Kwantung Army, and the scale was still greater.
Three days later in the evening, around twelve o'clock, Yamada Otozo was just about to take a rest when his adjutant Suzuki Junji ran in angrily.
"Your Excellency, something bad has happened." The first words Suzuki said shocked Yamada. He frowned and shouted, "What happened? You are so panicked."
"The commander of the Sakamura division reported that their division's Tanaka brigade was missing more than 500 men. The commander of the Sakamura division guessed that they might have fled to the Chinese people."
"Nani," Yamada was still sleepy a moment ago, but now he broke into a cold sweat.
Suzuki's voice softened, and he lowered his head and said: "The commander of the Sakamura Division has conducted an investigation. According to informed soldiers, a guy named Fujita Tsuno in the Tanaka Brigade was planning an escape as early as a month ago. According to the investigation ,This Fujita is from Ryukyu..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud shout from Yamada: "Ba Ge, this bastard Sakamura, didn't he have any defense before?"
