Japanese scholars of later generations have many descriptions of Japanese society during this period, and what is completely different from that time and space is that such descriptions will end with confession and repentance at the end (it can be seen from this that Japanese people are basically dogs,
Only when you face a big stick do you know how to reflect).
“There are two things that left the deepest impression on me during that special period. One is hunger. This kind of hunger is not the kind of hunger caused by missing a meal, but it seems that no matter how much you eat, you will never be able to eat.
The feeling of fullness (maybe because I was still young at that time, so my tolerance for hunger was particularly low), and the second one was fear, because I didn’t know when the Chinese fighter planes would appear overhead and they might be lost.
The next bomb, so we always look up at the sky just because of the slightest sound in the sky, and are ready to escape into the air-raid shelter at any time..." This is the famous Japanese writer Muraki Yarakami in his biographical novel.
A passage written in "The End of the Dynasty".
The period he described was the summer of 1946, when the Sino-Japanese War in Northeast China was about to decide the winner.
After the failure of the Changchun Encirclement and Suppression Campaign launched by Itagaki Seishiro and the local reinforcements, the Japanese government knew that the Northeast War was impossible, but fought abroad in order to fight the Chinese army (at this time, the Japanese no longer recognized Korea as their homeland)
, they still tried their best to recruit nearly 500,000 troops and sent them to North Korea. At the same time, they ordered the local reinforcements staying on the Sino-North Korean border and about 800,000 newly armed North Korean Communist Army and about 20
The East Asia Co-Prosperity Army (the Chinese puppet army) with tens of thousands of troops immediately entered Northeast China to fight, trying to delay the speed of the Chinese army's offensive, thereby buying time for the decisive war in Korea.
The reason why the Northeast War was delayed again and again was because of the "Li Daitao Stalemate". However, with the appearance of large amounts of Japanese reinforcements and the official dispatch of troops to Brazil by the United States, Okamura Neji's attitude suddenly became ambiguous.
The solo hero can still keep his composure, but Ouyang Yun can no longer hold back.
The Americans still have the opportunity to march into Brazil. This is of course the reason why the Chinese South American Volunteer Army let go. In fact, when the Chinese and Brazilian coalition forces led by Chu Tiange had already surrounded the Brazilian rebels and the American Mason security force in the Brazilian Amazon
In the rain forest in the northwest of the state, when he could destroy the opponent at any time, he suddenly received an order from the Supreme Command, asking him to suspend the offensive. At that time, in front of more than a dozen Brazilian generals, Chu Tiange was very embarrassed.
He dropped the cup.
"Playing the piano randomly, I don't understand why they do this. Are they Americans stupid? We played too easily." Later, when talking to Chen Shichang, he yelled on the phone.
It was Ouyang Yun's idea to let Chu Tiange postpone the attack. As for why Ouyang Yun made this stupid move, it was inspired by the Japanese's desire to fight the Chinese army in North Korea. At a relevant high-level meeting, he said:
"Instead of letting the Americans give up on the situation in Brazil and concentrate on attacking the Pacific, which may bring the war within our borders, it is better to contain the main force of the US military in Brazil and fight the Americans to the death on Brazilian soil."
Regarding the upcoming war between China and the United States, the performance of China's top military and political leaders is by no means as optimistic as that of the civilian population. In fact, this is because they have not yet adapted to their status as a peasant who "can be bullied by everyone" to a "manipulative" landlord.
After the change, they were very worried about the future of the country. Many people even believed that Ouyang Yun was digging his own grave by actively provoking the United States and being tough on all sides. It was a short-sighted move to seek death regardless of the good situation at hand.
Of course, because Ouyang Yun's reputation is now at its peak, and China's good situation is indeed brought about by him, and Chen Cheng has learned from the past, so even if they have different ideas in their hearts, they will not show it immediately.
The plan to "attract the main force of the US military to Brazil" was approved. Out of his understanding of Chu Tiange and fear that he would not be able to figure it out, Ouyang Yun not only drafted a special telegram to explain the matter to him after the telegram was issued, but also Call Chen Shichang, explain the stakes and ask the latter to explain more about Chu Tiange.
Not to mention that Chen Shichang himself understood Ouyang Yun's idea of "attracting the main force of the US military to Brazil". As Ouyang Yun's most trusted subordinate, once the old commander issued an order, he would complete it to the letter.
"You didn't receive the telegram from the junior officer himself." He asked after waiting for Chu Tiange to vent his anger.
"Received, but I still can't figure it out. If the Americans really don't want to give up Brazil, if we kill MacArthur now, will they retreat? The Meissen security force is not a real security force. Of course, they are not Our opponents, but in order to defeat them, I have sacrificed more than one regiment of brothers..."
The generals who came out of the Xuebing Army, especially the old Xuebing Army, were as special as Ouyang Yun because they were close to the ink. Chen Shichang had a deep understanding of this, and he finally understood why Chu Tiange was so excited. He said "Old Chu, I know you feel sorry for your soldiers, but as a soldier, isn't it the best place for a soldier to be shrouded in horse leather? Can we still just sit back and watch the American devils go to the South China Sea to ravage our people? Old Chu, you have to understand me. Sir, he is not just our head now, he is first and foremost the head of all Chinese people..."
The incomprehension of old subordinates like Chu Tiange is definitely not a problem for Ouyang Yun. What troubles him most now is the doubts from democrats and so-called patriots.
It cannot be said that these people's doubts are intentional to cause trouble, because there are camera reporters accompanying the army to film, so the process of the Northeast War is not mysterious to the public. Because of this, these people do not understand why their own The army clearly occupies an absolutely dominant position, but it cannot decide the outcome in one battle. In their view, although the resistance of the Japanese army is tenacious, it cannot stop their own troops who are armed to the teeth.
They were already seriously dissatisfied with the advancing speed of the frontline troops. At this time, the Japanese sent out a terrifying reinforcement force. They were military laymen who cared more about numbers. They were frightened all of a sudden and even thought that the situation in Northeast China would change. As a result, the dissatisfaction naturally became more serious.
They did not dare to accuse Ouyang Yun of such a serious crime as "nurturing the enemy", but this did not prevent them from questioning Ouyang Yun's personal abilities. The darkest among them even suspected that this was because of his relationship with a Japanese lover. They did not use all their strength when they could easily deal with the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army.
Chinese people are born with the trait of gossip, otherwise there would be no such saying as "one person spreads it to ten, and ten spreads it to a hundred". It is conceivable that once such doubts appear, it will set off a huge wave of public opinion.
