Lost and Spy

On February 1943, 2, after six months of fighting, the brutal Battle of Guadalcanal ended!
The Battle of Guadalcanal was Japan's second defeat after the Battle of Midway, and it was also a turning point for Japan to turn from a strategic advantage to a disadvantage.

From a global perspective, the Allied counteroffensive and victory in Guadalcanal at the end of 1942, together with the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Alamein in the same period, became the beginning of the strategic counteroffensive phase of the Allies.

In the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Japanese sea, land and air suffered a complete defeat.

From another perspective, in the confrontation with the US military, the Japanese army was at a disadvantage.

Especially in terms of weapons and equipment, fire support, and combat ideas, compared with the Japanese army that swept across Southeast Asia and beat the British all over the place when World War II just broke out, the current Japanese army has almost become a lamb at the mercy of the US military.

One of the culprits of the "July 900th Incident", the leader of the Japanese Ichiki Detachment, Ichiki Kiyonao, personally led [-] people to launch an attack in the advance battle.

Kiyonao Kazuki is still the old way of thinking, launching the "Long Live Charge".

The U.S. military has built a complete position, with barbed wire all over the place, and the configuration of light and heavy firepower has become a complete intersection of firepower.

The battle was very exciting. The U.S. army opened fire only when the Japanese army was halfway through the charge. All kinds of light and heavy weapons were fired together, and the Japanese army's first wave of attack was wiped out.

Kiyonao Ichiki once again encouraged the soldiers to commit suicide charges, while the heavy machine guns of the U.S. army tore up the Japanese army like mowing grass. After two waves of "Long Live Charge", the 500 commandos of Ichiki Squadron were wiped out directly.

Ironically, the Japanese suicide charge did not cause a huge psychological shock to the U.S. military, but instead made the Marines red-eyed.

The tanks drove onto the battlefield and ran over the corpses of the Japanese soldiers. The wounded Japanese soldiers who were still alive instantly turned into track lubricants.

Yimu Qingzhi Squadron was driven to the beach by the U.S. military. In the end, the entire army was almost wiped out under machine gun fire. Only a few dozen people escaped to the rainforest by chance.

After dawn, the U.S. military counted 850 Japanese corpses on the battlefield at the mouth of the Tenaru River. The detachment leader Kiyoshi Kazuki committed seppuku on the beach.

The cruel thing is that the 850 members of the Ichiki Detachment only caused more than 80 casualties in the US military. The casualty ratio of 1:10 made the Japanese army lose face.

This is the truest portrayal of the battlefield.

The end of the Battle of Guadalcanal made the once arrogant Japanese army finally stand on the edge of failure!

The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Guadalcanal also made the Japanese army in Southeast Asia smell the danger of losing the final victory in the war.

In the Philippines, Thailand, Malay Island and other places, the Japanese army is like a gambler who has lost his eyes.

They began to arrest people everywhere, threw them to every place where war might break out, and built fortifications day and night.

Especially in the Philippines, not only have to rush to repair fortifications, but also be responsible for hiding treasures.

A large number of men were taken away, which caused a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women in the area.

When Meng Shaoyuan returned to the Japanese gendarmerie in Sumaraja, a fierce quarrel broke out inside.

During the few days when Meng Shaoyuan left, a serious massacre occurred in the No. [-] tunnel.

Because Makoto Takasago was too harsh, the Filipino workers whose physical strength and energy were on the verge of collapse finally broke out a large-scale resistance incident.

This even resulted in the death of two Japanese overseers.

Fortunately, Makoto Takasago was not at the scene at the time and escaped unharmed by luck.

Kohei Mizushima also knew the seriousness of this matter, quickly mobilized troops, quelled the riot in the shortest possible time, and arrested a large number of laborers who participated in the riot.

However, on the issue of how to deal with these laborers, there were serious differences among the Japanese.

Yutaro Doi believes that there is a shortage of laborers, and after the first rioters are dealt with, the rest of the workers should continue to use them to avoid labor shortages.

However, Makoto Takasago believed that since these workers dared to carry out such a large-scale riot, it must be an organized behavior, and there will definitely be a next time.

And they are very likely to expose the secret of the hidden gold in Tunnel No. [-].

Therefore, they had to be executed and replaced with a new group of workers who had no knowledge of Tunnel No. [-].

The two couldn't stop arguing, and planned to hold a meeting to discuss it the next day.

Unexpectedly, on that night, a tragedy happened.

Makoto Takasago secretly ordered that all the laborers who participated in the riot be buried alive!

When Yutaro Doi found out, it was too late.

Gao Shacheng disagreed, and continued to ask Doi Yutaro for new labor, and it was in the form of an order.

Of course, Yutaro Doi couldn't swallow this breath, and immediately broke out with Makoto Takasago in the most serious quarrel ever.

Meng Shaoyuan rushed back under such circumstances.

"enough!"

Kohei Mizushima, who was so devastated that he couldn't bear it, finally yelled loudly: "Calm down, calm down!"

Finally, there was a temporary silence.

"Your Excellency Takasago, this time, you have gone too far." Mizushima Kohei tried his best to control his emotions: "Those who resist the empire must be killed, but not now, but after the completion of the authentic project.

Maybe you don't know yet, not long ago, the empire encountered a terrible defeat in Guadalcanal Island!Guadalcanal has fallen into the hands of the Americans! "

In the room, there was a sudden silence.

Makoto Takasago was the first to break this silence: "The failure of Guadalcanal Island has nothing to do with me. Guadalcanal Island is still far away from the Philippines. I have my mission. In order to complete my mission, what happened on the front line, I don't care about it." care!"

idiot!

Kohei Mizushima was extremely angry, but he still said patiently: "Then, there is one thing that has something to do with us.

Just two hours ago, I received an order from my superior, Su Malaga, to provide [-] strong workers to the front line within a month! "

Hearing this, Doi Yutaro turned pale.

Twenty thousand workers?
Strong workers?

a month?

Where did I find so many laborers in such a short period of time?

"That's your business." Gao Shacheng said stubbornly: "Because of this riot, the construction period has been seriously delayed. If I go back to the failure just mentioned, I must act faster.

In order to make up for the loss, Lord Doi, I ask you to help me find no less than [-] laborers in the shortest possible time! "

"It's just a dream!" Yutaro Doi roared, "I can't help it, I can't help it!"

"Compared to 2 people, these 500 people are nothing at all!" Gao Shacheng didn't want to back down at all: "I don't understand how the empire won, but my mission was given to me by His Excellency the Prince himself."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Meng Shaoyuan, who had been silent all this time, said:
"Enough, everyone, the situation is very serious, each of us knows, but there is not no solution."

The eyes of several people fell on him, Mizushima Kohei took the lead and said: "Taniguchi-kun, do you have any good ways to help us tide over the difficulties?"
