Glorious Mission 1937

As the orders of the North China Front Army Command continued to be issued, the Japanese and puppet troops throughout North China moved quickly. It can be seen that the top Japanese army seems to be very determined this time. The gendarmerie and divisions of the Front Army Command were the first to be purged In just three days, one-third of the unqualified military police were kicked out of the military police force, and a large number of recruits who had just landed in North China from China were recruited into the military police force.

Then things became even more incomprehensible to the common people in China. Beginning on January 1, the common people in the Japanese-occupied areas of North China saw from time to time the Japanese military police of the brigade knock down the Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers walking on the road, and finally The five flowers were tied up, and then escorted back to the gendarmerie headquarters.

At the beginning, people didn't know what happened, but soon they knew. First, there was a word from someone who was working for the Japanese at home, saying that the new Da Taijun was a rare good man, and he wanted to make decisions for the Chinese people. Well, those devils and puppet soldiers who were arrested had harmed the Chinese people in the past, and now they have been caught out. I heard that there will be a public trial for a while.

Although this rumor spreads well, not many people really believe it. Even when the national "government" was in power, officials and officials often protected each other, let alone the Japanese.It is now almost public that the Japanese soldiers harmed the Chinese people, so have you heard that they were punished?

But soon they were dubious, because on January 1, the North China Front Army Command and the two legions under its jurisdiction posted public announcements. There were many contents, but the main thing was only one sentence, that is, "The Imperial Japanese Army is determined to clean up Soldiers and officers who seriously violate military discipline will be severely punished.”

As soon as this announcement comes out.The whole of North China suddenly went into an uproar, what are the Japanese doing?Is the new Da Taijun really a good person?Does he really want to call the shots for the Chinese people?This series of questions appeared in the hearts of ordinary people in the enemy-occupied areas.For a while, it became the focus of discussion in North China.

But the vast majority of ordinary people don't really believe this, because it's too weird and unbelievable that Japanese military officers make decisions for the Chinese people. This is simply a fantasy.

However, what the Japanese did next was completely shocking. One day later, the North China Front Army Command once again posted a public announcement, informing the people in Beiping that the Imperial Japanese Army will publicly try 72 people at the Gendarmerie Command three days later. The Imperial Army and 86 Imperial Association Army members who seriously violated military discipline, the highest rank of which is the Major and Battalion Commander.

The news quickly spread in Beiping City.Although people are still skeptical, the law and order in the city has indeed improved these days, there is no doubt about it.It seems that this newly appointed Japanese officer is quite good, the common people in the city thought so.Now let's see if the Japanese soldiers who tried to violate the discipline are real. If it is true, then the big guys don't have to remind them so much in the future. [

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was early in the morning on January 1.Many ordinary people in Beiping City flocked to the Japanese military police headquarters in Xizhimen.

Different from the heavily guarded gendarmerie headquarters in the past, although there are a large number of Japanese soldiers standing guard here today, and many Japanese soldiers patrolling nearby, these Japanese soldiers are not as vicious as before. Seeing the Chinese people rushing over , and no longer yelling or even punching and kicking.It is just a simple body search of ordinary people who want to enter the headquarters to watch the trial, and if there are no "contraband items", they will be released immediately.

The courtroom of the Gendarmerie Command is not small, there are hundreds of seats, and it is less than eight o'clock in the morning.The entire trial court was already full of seats, and even the outside was full of people.In addition to the Chinese people, there are also many Japanese businessmen and a large number of Chinese and foreign journalists. They are also concerned about whether this trial is true, which is related to their development in North China.

At exactly 9 o'clock, the trial meeting officially began. As several military officers filed in, the noisy trial court suddenly fell silent.At this time, a Japanese army officer stood up and bowed to the common people in the auditorium, and then spoke loudly in Japanese, while the simultaneous interpreter on the side translated loudly: "Dear subjects of the empire, ordinary people of Northern China: Entrusted by General Okamura, I, Shigetaro Takeda, are now conducting a public trial against 72 members of the Imperial Army who seriously violated military discipline and 86 members of the Imperial Association Army. This trial will be based on the principle of fairness, justness and openness, please supervise!"

Originally, Takeda Shigetaro thought that his words of righteousness would make these foolish people in China tearfully grateful, and at the worst, he returned warm applause.But in fact, apart from a touch of anger on the faces of these audiences, there was more suspicion.

Seeing only sparse applause, Shigetaro Takeda was a little angry, but there was nothing he could do.General Okamura held a meeting for their trial team yesterday, telling them to pay attention to their words and deeds, especially to control their emotions. This is the first step for the Imperial Army to change its image, and this step must be done well.So even though he was very angry at this time, he couldn't shout at these stupid Chinese people as loudly as before.

Takeda Shigetaro looked down at the documents on the trial table, and then said loudly: "Bring the discipline-violating soldier Asada Ina!"

"Hay!"

Soon a Japanese soldier who had been disarmed was brought in from the outside. The soldier only had a light white shirt on his upper body, a pair of shit yellow army pants and rubber-soled shoes on his lower body. , without hat.He was beaten bloody all over his body, his white shirt was covered with blood-red marks all over his face, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and he was dragged by the military police when he walked, otherwise he might not even be able to walk .

At this time, an old man in the auditorium suddenly shouted: "That bastard, yes, he is the one who beat my son into a cripple half a year ago, and he is still lying on the bed, retribution!!!"

"quiet!"

Takeda Shigetaro was very dissatisfied with the noise below, the military court had to look like a military court, otherwise it would lose its majesty.

After the soldiers were brought to the dock, an army captain who looked like a public prosecutor got up with a document in his hand and read: "Sergeant Asada, Li Laojiu, the head of Sanlitun Village in China, reported you for the process of carrying out public order in June, Showa 15th. You once massacred 6 residents of Ordinary China in Sanlitun and seriously injured 14 people, how do you justify your crimes?"

"Sir, I was only ordered to wipe out the Chinese rebels in Sanlitun. The order I received was that all Chinese who did not cooperate with the front army could be executed! Therefore, I think I have no crimes!" Senior Sergeant Asada said loudly.

"Sir, but according to our investigation results, the 27th Division of the North China Front Army you belong to has not issued such an order. We have reviewed all the order documents of the 27th Division in Showa 15, and there is indeed no such order For the record! What do you say about that?" [

"The order was not issued by the division headquarters!"

"Who ordered that? The Wing Headquarters or the Brigade Headquarters?"

"Neither, it was our squadron leader Kobayashi Nojiro. Many people heard this order at the time. He asked us to do this. Chief Kobayashi thinks that all Chinese people are cunning and stupid. Their existence It was a mistake, and besides, these stupid Chinese people have killed so many of our comrades in arms." Asada Rice said loudly.

"Kobayashi Nojiro, where is he now?"

"I'm sorry, Chief Kobayashi died in battle three months ago. Our squadron was ambushed by the Chinese army three months ago. The casualties were heavy. Almost all the veterans died in battle, less than one-fifth of them. survived."

"Can someone testify for you?"

"I'm sorry sir, because the casualty rate of Kobayashi Squadron exceeded 80%, and Captain Kobayashi died in battle, so Kobayashi Squadron was cancelled. Of the 21 soldiers we survived by chance, 2 died of serious injuries, and 7 died because of The disabled were sent back to the country, and the rest were disrupted and added to the Ishihara brigade with other remnants. Only Yamazaki and Honda were in the same brigade with me, but the luck of the two of them was too bad. They hunted down China a month ago. The spy was killed during the process, and the rest of the people I don’t know which brigade they were assigned to, and I don’t know if they are still alive!”

"That is to say, I didn't think what you just said was a testimony?" The captain frowned and said.

"Hay! So to speak!"

"Okay, I've finished my question, please judge Your Excellency!"

Takeda Shigetaro looked at the young soldier in the dock. From the question just now, he could feel that this was a brave soldier and a veteran who had participated in many battles. Thinking of General Okamura yesterday He couldn't bear what he said at night.

But I can't bear it, I can't bear it, some things can't be changed, even if they can be changed, it's not something he, a little army chief, can change.

"Soldier, I ask you, did you participate in the massacre of the common people in Sanli Tunzhi?" Takeda Shigetaro asked loudly.

Lieutenant Asada was silent for about a minute, and finally nodded and said: "Report sir, I participated and killed 1 Chinese people with my own hands!"

"Yoxi, although I don't approve of your behavior, you are a brave soldier. Unfortunately, your behavior has seriously violated the provisions of the Japanese Army Law, and your self-defense is not There are no witnesses, so I will announce the result of your trial now!" Takeda Shigetaro said in a deep voice.

"Hay!"

"Senior Soldier Asada Ina wantonly massacred the civilians in China. The evidence is conclusive. I have confessed to my crime. In view of the adverse impact this incident had on the Imperial Japanese Army and the Empire of Japan, the Northern China Front Army Command of the Empire of Japan now judges Asada Ina The crime of massacring civilians has been established, and it is decided to sentence Asada Ina to death, and it will be executed after the approval of the Northern China Front Army Command!"
