Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

But when he checked again and again and learned that this was not a joke, but a fact, he became angry.

The Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Route Army didn't catch him, which at most made him a little disappointed, because he hadn't caught him before, so he wouldn't turn his face and get angry.

Half of the Wellside Regiment was killed, so he didn't care too much about such things. He was the commander of the strategic zone, and he commanded nearly a million troops. The death and life of thousands of people would not make him lose his temper.

Not to mention a regiment, even if a division is completely destroyed, he will at most intervene, it will neither affect him nor make him uncomfortable.

But when these two things were combined, he couldn't accept it.

Failure to catch people is the responsibility of the subordinates, and it is also the fault of the subordinates to fold in half of the alliance.

However, a regiment of nearly 5000 people was not an opponent of the Eighth Route Army's hundreds of people. Not only did the opponent successfully break through, but also entered more than 2000 people, which can only explain one problem.

The army has problems.

Whether it is command or combat effectiveness, there are problems.

Chapter 740 The Pseudo-Confucianism of the Japanese

When the problem rises to the level of the entire army, he, the commander of the strategic area, cannot escape the responsibility.

The loss of this matter is not serious, but the impact is too great. Once it reaches the emperor or the general headquarters, it will be Hideshi Yoshino who will be held accountable, not Jingbian Mingye, who has already been killed.

Moreover, he has to face the offensive of public opinion from within the country of Wa, as well as the disputes within the army.

After all, the North China theater is of great significance. As the commander of the strategic region, he commands the military affairs of the entire theater. This position makes many people jealous.

At his level, his subordinates usually worry about combat matters, and most of his energy is devoted to factional struggles.

The partisan struggle in the Japanese army is particularly serious. The so-called allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor and the pursuit of common prosperity in Greater East Asia are all nonsense, but they are all told to others, and they don't even believe them.

The reason why the war of aggression was launched, in the final analysis, is a word of profit.

Wa country itself is a small place, surrounded by the sea, it has been a deserted island since ancient times, a place where resources are scarce and birds don't shit.

Later, when Xu Fu went to the East to search for immortal medicines, thousands of boys and girls walked together and lived here. They combined with the aborigines on the island and gradually gave birth to the Japanese.

The Japanese believed in Confucianism, but it was not a true Confucianism. The reason was that before Confucianism was introduced, the Japanese were still in a semi-civilized state.

There is language, but there is no writing. The currency system, cultural system, and economic system are all in a state of chaos.

Later, Confucianism flowed in, and this orthodox cultural theory soon occupied a dominant position in the Japanese country. However, the Japanese were unwilling to accept foreign culture as the mainstream, so they cleverly integrated various local schools with Confucianism to form a kind of Special Confucian culture.

As we all know, things like culture and thinking cannot be formed overnight. It is true that the importance of orthodox culture is highlighted when one hears about the Tao, but the "Tao" can also be understood as culture, but it needs to go through long-term accumulation. , and numerous verifications before it can be accepted by the public.

In particular, self-created theories require repeated demonstrations, or even thousands of years of precipitation, to form a school of their own.

The Japanese people used to live on an isolated island, and they were self-styled. They had formed a unique idea for thousands of years, but their culture was not there before. Suddenly, this kind of Confucianism "processed" by them appeared and spread rapidly.

It is conceivable that there are problems in this unproven and unimproved culture.

So under the influence of this kind of culture, the ideology of the Japanese gradually went astray.

Based on Confucianism, Japan imitated Shenzhou, and the Warring States Period also appeared in history.

During this period of time, wars were raging everywhere in the Wa Kingdom, and they were proud of massacres and massacres.

Later, the age of samurai and the era of ronin appeared again in the country of Wa. No matter what the name is, the core of it is robbing and violence.

For a long time, the Japanese have formed a unique way of thinking, stealing and robbing, which is despised by others, is a normal way to meet their needs.

If you lack something, you will steal and rob, and getting something for nothing is even considered an honor.

This is also the reason why Japanese pirates were rampant in the ancient oceans, attacking coastal towns and robbing passing merchant ships in order to seek benefits.

Moreover, this kind of despicable behavior was even supported by the inside of the country. There were many pirate teams clinging to the powerful ministers of the country in order to obtain asylum.

In modern society, some scholars believe that the war of aggression cannot be completely attributed to the Wa Kingdom, because the Japanese militaristic faction led the aggression.

But in fact, the rise of militarism is because the Japanese themselves have such bad roots, and hundreds of years of evil thoughts have already penetrated into their bones.

If they really respect orthodox culture, and regard peace, peace, filial piety, and kindness as concepts, how can they breed the idea of ​​​​invading other countries?

Militarism is just an endorsement image pushed to the surface, which represents the greedy and vicious hearts of countless Japanese.

The Wa country launched a war of aggression in order to occupy more land, obtain more resources, and enslave more people, so as to satisfy their selfish desires.

In the eyes of the Japanese, this war is certain to be won, and all that is needed is a matter of time.

Invading this land is what the little devil soldiers do. Senior military officers like Yoshino Hideshi think about how to distribute the benefits after the invasion is realized.

To put it bluntly, it is how to get more benefits for yourself.

Interests can unite people, so the Wa country assembled millions of troops and launched a war of aggression.

However, selfish desires will make the people who are united have their own ghosts, so there are also factions within the Japanese army. The squadron leader is attached to the team leader, the team leader is attached to the team leader, the team leader is attached to the brigade leader, and so on.

Yoshino Hideshi's identity is obviously enough for him to independently support a faction, but there are still many inside the Japanese army who can compete with him.

They all shouted their allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor, and put on a posture that they could die for the Emperor at any time, but in fact they had their own calculations.

While maintaining their own interests, they also want to obtain more benefits.

But this benefit is not so easy to get. The occupation of land needs to be achieved through fighting, and the resistance of the Eighth Route Army makes the little devil's aggression more and more difficult.

So another method spread among the top Japanese army, which is to weaken the power of other factions.

When other factions become weaker, it means that they become stronger.

Although this kind of thinking is only feasible in theory and has no practical significance in reality, it has made the internal struggle between the little devils' factions increasingly severe.

Because in their view, after the war is over, there must be rewards based on merit, but this merit is not only reflected on the battlefield. Whoever is stronger and who has more seniority will receive more rewards.

If at this time, the news that a regiment in the North China Theater lost to the Eighth Route Army with more than [-] people spread, it would definitely become a reason for other factions of the Japanese army to attack Hideshi Yoshino.

He can imagine that the commanders of several other theaters will use this as a talking point in the near future, and crazily laugh at the troops he manages as a bunch of idiots.

Even those guys would sue him for ineffective leadership in front of the commander-in-chief and the emperor, and remove him from the post of commander of the strategic area by making side-effects.

Although this incident is not enough to make him lose his official position, at worst, he will be questioned by his superiors, and it may reduce the sphere of influence in the theater.

And the reduced places will be divided by others to expand their respective strengths.

So Hideshi Yoshino was very angry, and immediately scolded Katsumura Yota on the phone, and even dropped several teacups on the table.

Yota Katsumura was full of grievances. He was the commander of the front army. In his position, it was almost impossible for someone to point his nose at him and scold him, not even his boss.

But Hideshi Yoshino's gaffe can only prove one problem, he is really angry.

Yota Katsumura could also figure out the reason, since they belonged to the same faction after all.

But after being scolded, Yota Katsumura was naturally uncomfortable, so he called Kunihiko Ito.

Chapter 740 Early morning call

It is true that bureaucracy kills people.

This is especially true in the Japanese army, which has a serious sense of hierarchy.

Everyone wants the credit, and no one wants to take the responsibility. Yoshino Hideshi scolded Katsumura Yota just to vent his anger.

Katsumura Yota was unwilling to bear the grievance, and scolded Kunihiko Ito again.

The plan that Ito Kunihiko made personally thought it would be foolproof, but he didn't expect it to end in failure, and it failed so badly, which made him even more annoyed.

Even if Ueno Kurano is someone close to him, he will inevitably be taught a lesson.

When it came to Ueno Cansuke, the nature of the matter changed.

If it is said that the few people above called and scolded level by level just to let out a sigh of relief and lose their temper, then he must take substantive actions to give an explanation to the upper level.

He himself is naturally unwilling to take responsibility, so the scapegoat can only be his subordinates, Fukuyama is right.

Originally, the one who came out to take responsibility in the end should be Jingbian Mingye who actually carried out the task.

But this unlucky guy had already been shot to death by Qiao Lin on the battlefield, so he couldn't pull the body out to punish him.

The other little devil officers were basically dead, and the remaining squadron leaders were too low-level to get on the table at all.

So this pot can only be carried by Fukuyama Youdao.

Speaking of Fukuyama Youdao is wrong enough.

He didn't formulate the specific plan, but his subordinates carried out the task. He just knew the whole process and didn't even get involved, so he somehow became a scapegoat.

That night, the decision to deal with Fukuyama Youdao came down, and he was removed from the post of brigade commander, and the rank of Dazuo was also reduced to Zhongzuo, taking over as the captain of the Jingbian regiment.

The Wellside Regiment has been crippled, less than half of its troops are left, and it has the reputation of being a defeated army. It can be said to be a complete mess.

If Fushan Youdao wants to recover again, it may be as difficult as reaching the sky.

This decision was proposed by Ueno Kurasuke and reported to Kunihiko Ito.

Ito Kunihiko reported to Katsumura Yota again, and he was hardly hindered. In less than 10 minutes, the result of the processing came down.

When Fukuyama Youdao packed his bags and set off for the Jingbian regiment station in dejection, the deputy commander had just finished talking with Qiao Lin in the headquarters hospital.

A conspiracy turned into a joke, I'm afraid the little devil would never have imagined that the slap they raised ended up hitting him in the face.

And it was very painful.

Early in the morning, Brigadier Chen got up early as usual.

He didn't rest well that night. Although he knew that Qiao Lin's life was not in danger, he was inevitably worried about his injury.

Just after washing up and preparing to have breakfast, the phone on the table rang.

Brigadier Chen thought it was a call from the headquarters, so he quickly picked it up.

Unexpectedly, there was a voice on the other end of the phone that made him very speechless.

"Hey, hello, is this the brigade commander? Can you hear me? I'm an independent regiment, can you hear me? Is the brigade commander here? Hello..."

The series of "hello" made Brigadier Chen's head hurt, and he said angrily: "Li Yunlong, is there something wrong with you? Calling early in the morning shows that you are an independent group phone, right? I think you are I don't need to clean up, is it itchy..."

The call was from Li Yunlong, and the soldiers sent by the brigade headquarter had been busy for two full days, and finally installed the phone number of the independent regiment.

The telephone wires dug out by Qiao Lin and the cavalry company were not enough, and the brigade headquartered another section to set up the wires.

The line was connected yesterday evening, but Li Yunlong did not expect to call this morning. This made Brigadier Chen, who was not in a good mood, burst into anger, and gave Li Yunlong a lesson first.

I thought Li Yunlong would quickly apologize honestly after being taught a lesson, and Brigadier Chen planned to say a few more words to tell him not to be too embarrassing, but he didn't expect something else to come from the microphone: "It's through!" Got it, old Kong, did you hear, the brigade commander has spoken, Lao Xing, come and listen too, there is something going on on the phone."

Li Yunlong didn't realize that he had been taught a lesson, but excitedly called Kong Jie and Xing Zhiguo to listen to the phone together.
