"Why is this so?"

Iijima Mori sneered repeatedly and mocked himself: "Commander, you are from a big city. Big cities are certainly not like this, but if you go to the countryside and take a look, you will see a completely different scene.

Know the suffering of our rural civilians!

In our rural areas, people are already starving and dying, and people are in dire straits."

At this point, Iijima Mori's voice suddenly stopped, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face again: "But even so, even if my parents, wife, and children all starve to death, I, Iijima Mori, will never betray the empire.

But the problem is, the empire should never, never, never kidnap my two daughters and use them as comfort women!"

"I don't think I need to tell you what a comfort woman is. Commander, you should also know, right?"

"Why do I put on the military uniform and fight bloody battles for the empire? It's just to let my descendants live a good life."

"But the empire treats my children like this, the children of a meritorious minister like me."

"Is such an empire worthy of my allegiance?"

"I'm heartbroken and unwilling!"

"Even if my family members are treated like this, I don't think I need to say how the families of other civilians will be treated!"

"Since the empire is not willing to treat me well, then I will treat myself well. Selling information can bring me a lot of income and improve my family's life. Why don't I do it? Why not do it?"

Of course Yoshio Shinozuka knew what comfort women were, there were quite a few of them in his 1st Army.

Although there are many comfort women who are willing to sacrifice themselves in order to make the empire's soldiers fight the enemy more bravely, there are also many comfort women who are bought or tricked.

There is no way, life in the army is too boring.

Moreover, as frontline troops, they may go to the battlefield at any time, which means they may die at any time. The mental pressure on the soldiers is actually very high, and they are on the verge of collapse and madness at any time.

Soldiers need to vent!

Therefore, after the Japanese army captured some villages in China, they allowed the soldiers below to kill, plunder, and plunder.

In the beginning, the Japanese army even committed such countless crimes in some cities. Later, under the pressure of public opinion and fearing that it would arouse the resistance of the Chinese people, they gradually restrained themselves.

But as long as they sweep into some remote rural areas with limited information, the ugly side of the Japanese will be exposed immediately...

Yoshio Shinozuka closed his eyes in pain, he believed that what Iijima Mori said was true.

There was no need for Iijima Mori to make up such a story to deceive him, and he also knew a lot about the situation in the country.

The situation in China may be better than that in China, but it is not much better. Starvation in rural areas is already very common.

This war is not only suffering for the Chinese people.

In fact, Japanese civilians were also suffering from the war.

In the final analysis, it is because Japan is a country with small resources, and all strategic materials, such as steel, oil, rubber, etc., basically need to be imported.

The wars in the past few years have already depleted Japan's resource reserves.

Now, the United States often strangles Japan, either reducing the export of strategic materials or raising export prices. This not only makes Japan miserable, but also makes it dissatisfied with the actions of the Americans.

This was also the most important trigger for Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.

It is precisely because we know that Japan is a country with small resources and limited war potential.

Therefore, when the Japanese army's offensive begins to slow down, it can no longer defeat the Chinese army as crushingly as before, and even faces a confrontation with the Chinese army in Shanxi and other places.

Only then did Yoshio Shinozuka come up with the idea of ​​innovating tactics and re-employing Yamamoto Kazuki in an attempt to achieve the greatest victory at the least cost...

As for Shinozuka Yoshio, although he was very sympathetic to Iijima Mori's experience, he also felt a little dissatisfied with the empire's behavior.

But this is definitely not the reason for Iijima Mori to betray His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan.

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka stood up and walked behind the door, opened the door and walked out, and ordered Miyano Shun who was waiting at the door: "Escort him back to the country and hand him over to a military court for trial and conviction!"

"Hiyi!"

Miyano Jun paused heavily, then waved his hand, and the two Japanese guards who had been waiting at the door for a long time rushed in and took Iijima Mori away, one from the left and the other from the right.

Iijima Mori did not resist at all, nor did he speak out to defend himself.

In fact, Yoshio Shinozuka had every right to execute Iijima Mori, but he didn't want to do it, or he couldn't bear to do it.

After all, Iijima Mori has made great contributions to the empire and is also his proud disciple...

The screen pans to Xujiaao.

Headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Neither Wang Chengzhu, the brigade commander, nor the deputy boss knew about the exposure and murder of underground party member Sun Dayi. By the time they found out, it would already be several days later.

In history, there are countless "Sun Dayi" who, in order to fight against the Japanese aggressors and defend their country, went deep behind enemy lines, battled wits and courage with the enemy, and were eventually exposed and killed.

Some "Sun Dayi" were even willing to die in the hands of their companions in order to protect them.

It is precisely because of countless unsung heroes like "Sun Dayi" who came forward to fight without fear of life or death that we were able to drive the powerful Japanese invaders out of the country.

The book returns to its true story.

When Wang Chengzhu, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei led their troops back to the junction of Jinzhong and Shouyang, the sky gradually became brighter.

Then, they divided the spoils.

Wang Chengzhu ordered some soldiers to disguise themselves and cover Liu Dong and others as they went to the headquarters, while Wang Chengzhu, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei went to the Xujia'ao brigade headquarters to report.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Chengzhu and three other people came to the brigade headquarters. The brigade commander, deputy brigade commander and other brigade chiefs all got up after sleeping for a long time.

Then, Wang Chengzhu gave a detailed report on the entire offensive trip to Taiyuan.

Although Wang Chengzhu's words were calm and indifferent, all the brigade chiefs were shocked by what they heard, because they knew the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army and the dangers involved.

They all couldn't help but give Wang Chengzhu a thumbs up for his keen battlefield insight, decisive decision-making, and excellent battlefield command ability.

If it had been anyone else, they would have retreated immediately after rescuing Liu Dong and others, and it would have been absolutely impossible to continue the attack on Wusu Airport.

The deputy brigade commander said: "I really didn't expect that Zhu Zhuqian could actually drive a tank, and he also brought back a tank convoy.

In this way, our Eighth Route Army can be regarded as having its own tank unit."

Of course, Wang Chengzhu could not admit that he had "Tank and Armored Vehicle Driving Skills", so he modestly said: "This is all thanks to the previous defense battle of Wangjiacun. We captured several defective vehicles during the firefight with the Japanese 4th Brigade.

Then I simply did some research, thinking that it might come in handy later.

Sure enough, it really came into use this time.

If those tanks had not been captured, I would not have attacked the airport. Even if I wanted to, I might not be able to break through the Japanese fire blockade."

"Speaking of which, in fact, the principles of driving a tank and driving a car are the same. That is, the soldiers of our regiment are still a little inaccurate when operating the tank gun."
