Lost and Spy

Chapter 3350 The Elite Army
Killing or capturing a Japanese Army Major General was extremely rare during the Battle of Luzon and even in the entire late World War II.

During the Battle of Manila, senior Japanese officers, including Iwabuchi Sanji, were all Marines.

This is completely opposite to the Japanese Army.

Take Japan's Myoga high-class heavy cruiser "Haguro" as an example. After it was sunk by the United States, its captain, Lieutenant General Hashimoto Shintaro, and Rear Admiral Sugiura Yoshiju sank with the ship.

"Haguro" Vice-President Nagano Ge and 5th Sentai Staff Officer Nakao Kumataro also died in the battle.

Sugiura only served as a general for half a month before he died, and the base camp pursued Lieutenant General Jin.

Onogama's 50th Marine Corps and Nakao Kumataro's 51st Marine Corps both boarded the ship at the same time as Sugiura and were promoted to Rear Admiral.

Hashimoto Shintaro is only the team commander, not a replacement, and is not qualified to pursue the promotion of general.

Originally, the commander of the fleet was mainly a major general, but in the late World War II, the Japanese ships suffered serious losses and there were not enough ships to form a fleet to serve the officers. Officers with sufficient qualifications could only be promoted to military rank, and their positions were temporarily unchanged. Therefore, the ranks of naval ship force officers are: On the high side, there are multiple rear admiral captains and lieutenant admiral team commanders.

On the contrary to the low rank of the Army's ground forces, officers cannot be replaced due to severe casualties. The Army has already seen many lieutenant infantry captains, major service wing captains, captains and even lieutenant captains.

Therefore, Major General Nobuhiro Kitazawa's surrender was of great significance both militarily and politically.

MacArthur gave the task of accepting the surrender to Meng Shaoyuan, which also reflected his importance to Meng Shaoyuan from another aspect.

According to Masmaran's request, these Japanese soldiers who came out of the jungle will be immediately quarantined.

The formal surrender would not take place until three days.

"boss."

As soon as he returned, Li Zhifeng came with a file: "This is what Tian Qi just sent."

"understood."

Meng Shaoyuan was in a good mood today. He sat down, opened the seal of the file, and took out the documents inside.

But gradually, the smile on Meng Shaoyuan's face disappeared.

Li Zhifeng had followed Meng Shaoyuan for too long, and he found that his boss was restraining his anger.

be angry!
What is in the dossier?
Meng Shaoyuan put down the document: "Currently, the Allied forces are launching a fierce counterattack, and the Japanese army hastily retreated. As a senior intelligence officer, Tian Qi has great conveniences. Therefore, I asked him to do everything possible to collect some evidence. What was sent today , it’s about Singapore. Do you know what the ‘Grand Inspection’ is?”

Li Zhifeng shook his head blankly.

Meng Shaoyuan took out his cigarette, lit it, smoked half of it in one breath, and then said slowly: "We call Singapore 'Singapore' or 'Singapore'. It is the place where most Chinese coastal residents go to Southeast Asia to settle down. The overseas Chinese population far exceeds other ethnic groups.

After the July [-]th Incident, Singapore became the source and leadership center for overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to support the motherland’s anti-Japanese and national salvation movement.At that time, the "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Federation for Relieving Refugees from the Motherland" led by overseas Chinese leader Tan Kah Kee was located in Singapore.

After Japan invaded Southeast Asia, it carried out a purposeful and targeted massacre of local overseas Chinese in an inhumane manner.The most shocking thing among them was the so-called "Grand Inspection" implemented by the Japanese army after they captured Singapore. "

During the Pacific War, Yamashita Tomofumi, commander of the Japanese No. 20 Fifth Army, commanded the Malayan operations.He led the Japanese army to occupy the Malay Peninsula in 55 days, and it took about two weeks to force the British garrison in Singapore, Lieutenant General Bai Sihua, and his troops to surrender unconditionally.

He once came to this conclusion: "If it weren't for the support of overseas Chinese, the China problem would have been solved long ago!" The Japanese army massacred overseas Chinese in Singapore, firstly, in revenge for the overseas Chinese's previous strong support for China's anti-Japanese national salvation movement, and secondly, It was in retaliation for the participation of the Xinghua Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army in the defense of Singapore.

On February 1942, 2, Yamashita ordered Singapore Security Commander Saburo Kawamura: "Eradicate the lurking overseas Chinese with a hostile attitude so as to eliminate the worries of our army in combat." Chief of Staff Suzuki gave clear instructions: "Determine the hostile attitude. After breaking the law, he will be punished immediately (death penalty).”This kicked off the "big inspection".

The "big inspection" implemented in Singapore is to identify and capture the so-called "anti-Japanese elements" and "enemy elements" from the controlled overseas Chinese through the identification of some masked former British police, Indian police and Malayan communist traitors. Sexual Overseas Chinese”.

A few days after the Japanese occupation of Singapore, the Japanese issued a notice requiring all male overseas Chinese between the ages of 18 and 50 to gather in four places to receive "good citizen certificates". They then sent military police to drive out the overseas Chinese residents from house to house and sleep in the concentrated areas. On the streets, men, women, old and young were all exempted. Overseas Chinese were waiting in fear for scrutiny amid the terror of death.

The "Grand Inspection Certificate" began on February 1942, 2. In the following days, those who were lucky enough to pass were issued a small piece of paper with the word "Inspection" printed in purple, and were allowed to go home with a piece of paper.

The so-called "anti-Japanese elements" and "enemy overseas Chinese" who were identified were executed without any trial procedures.

Its methods and methods are extremely cruel and outrageous!

Some were tied up and dragged to the beach by the Japanese army and shot dead with heavy machine guns; some were tied up and put on ships and transported to a place about 10 kilometers away from the coast, where they were pushed into the sea and drowned; some were made to dig holes by themselves and then forced to take poison. They committed suicide or were shot with machine guns or hacked to death with sabers; some overseas Chinese who were not executed were sent to Thailand to build the "Death Railway" and never returned.

The notorious war madman Tsuji Masanobu was serving as the chief staff officer of the Japanese Malay Operations Division at the time. He was also the main promoter of the "Grand Inspection".

On February 1942, 2, Tsuji Masanobu inspected the Japanese troops responsible for the "clearance" of the Jalan Musha area.After hearing that Onishikaku's team had only identified 22 "anti-Japanese elements" and "enemy overseas Chinese", Tsuji Masanobu was furious and severely reprimanded: "What are you still dawdling about? I want the lives of half of the people in Singapore." !”

With this sentence, Daxijue's detachment arrested thousands of people at once, packed dozens of cars, and sent them to Changi Beach for execution, turning the pleasant tourist resort into a slaughterhouse full of flesh and blood.

By February 2, the "grand inspection" implemented by the Japanese army came to an end.

"In this 'big inspection', 7 overseas Chinese died." Meng Shaoyuan put out his cigarette with force: "7 people, how many overseas Chinese are there in Singapore? Tian Qi did an amazing thing, he tried his best I have tried my best to collect almost all the evidence of the 'Grand Inspection'! Do you know why I care so much about this evidence?"

"I know." Li Zhifeng said: "You have told me before that Japan is the most shameless country and the most despicable nation. They will try their best to deny all their crimes.

You also said that even if there is irrefutable evidence of the Nanjing Massacre, Japan will still try its best to deny it.Therefore, you must have this evidence, and you must tell everyone about the crimes committed by the Japanese. "

"Yes, this is what our generation must do." Meng Shaoyuan looked solemn: "As time goes by, the trauma caused by the war will slowly be healed. And sooner or later, Japan will jump out and act like a monster again. of.

Now, they are fighting the US military, but sooner or later Japan will become the dog leg of the United States.They will use the power of the United States to do evil and deny history.And when that time comes, this evidence will be key.

These are all information collected by the U.S. intelligence agency.Yes, I admit that even if Japan is faced with such evidence, it will still quibble and deny it.But we can let more people clearly know what tragic things have happened in history! "

"Boss, I have to say something seriously." Li Zhifeng's expression also became serious: "Actually, apart from being a genius as an agent, what else do you have? You have no moral character or moral integrity at all. Just a scumbag.”

Nima!

Is that what you said about your boss?
Li Zhifeng just pretended not to see the boss's face: "But I admire you, not just me, all the brothers admire you. What we admire is not your character, but that you always silently work for this country." Doing things, doing many things that we would never even think of.

Even if you have left the country now, you are still doing things for our country.I trust you on this point.In the future, I will also get married and have children. I will tell my children that I once knew a scumbag, a scumbag who deserves my respect the most! "

Meng Shaoyuan was speechless for a moment.Li Zhifeng, are you scolding yourself or praising yourself?
……

"Colonel."

Afrin walked in excitedly: "The military expansion plan has been approved. This is all thanks to you. Please rest assured, I know what to do next."

Well, he knew what to do.

I am afraid that more than half of the free pay of the Second Brigade will be given to Colonel Charles.

"Then it's my turn to congratulate you, Major."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "I will continue to recommend you to your government. Sooner or later, you will become a general."

Afrin was overjoyed.

With the support of Americans, what should we be afraid of?

"Your second brigade will also become a powerful force." Meng Shaoyuan began to slowly bring up the topic: "With all the beautiful equipment, as well as armored units and artillery units, I think your second brigade will , it is completely possible to easily eliminate any Japanese armed force in the Philippines.

Even if you send your second brigade to the Chinese battlefield, I guarantee that you will be able to sweep away the Japanese troops who are more powerful than here. "

"Ah, China, I have never been to China." Afrin said with a smile: "I heard that the Chinese army there fought with the Japanese army for many years and suffered a lot of casualties."

"Yes, but that's because the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is too low." At this time, Meng Shaoyuan had quietly dug a huge hole for Afrin: "Actually, judging from the performance on the battlefield, the Japanese army Their combat effectiveness was nothing more than this. Under the joint offensive of the US military and the Philippine army, the Japanese army was defeated.

If your second brigade were placed on the Chinese battlefield, I believe that with your illustrious military exploits, you would have become a general long ago. "

Afrin's face turned red with excitement: "Is the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army really that bad?"

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and said seriously: "One Filipino soldier can fight at least five Chinese soldiers. Dear Major, I think this is my conservative estimate."

"Aha, it's a pity that I don't have the chance to meet the Chinese army on the battlefield."

Afrin said triumphantly: "Otherwise, they will know who the real ace is!"

At this moment, Afrin firmly believed in Colonel Charles's words.

"One Filipino soldier can fight at least five Chinese soldiers!"

This is what Major Afrin always said.

Colonel Charles, you have missed Afrin’s life!

……

A few years later, the Philippines formed the [-]th Regiment to join the United Nations Army and prepare to fight in North Korea.

At that time, the total military strength of the entire Philippines was only more than 3 people. At once, more than 1300 people were sent to North Korea to participate in the war. It can be said that a lot of money was spent.

President Aquinas personally went to the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila to hold a grand farewell ceremony for the Philippine Tenth United, which was attended by tens of thousands of people.

The President of the Philippines delivered a speech and said: "You are the first army to go abroad with the national flag. You are fighting for freedom. Every peso spent on you is for permanent freedom and democracy."

Later, he personally handed the United Nations flag to Philippine Colonel Afrin.

When it was Colonel Afrin's turn to give a speech, he said impassionedly: "A few years ago, a US military general I respect once told me that the Philippine army is an elite army. One Filipino soldier can fight five Chinese soldiers!

Please remember this sentence, we are an elite army, and we will sweep across North Korea! "

Colonel Afrin's speech made the Filipino soldiers of the [-]th Regiment so excited!

Everything that happened next made the Philippine [-]th Regiment a joke.

They were completely disabled.

Many people suffer from mental illness.

And Colonel Afrin, this unlucky guy, was dismissed by the US military commander because of the issue of winter clothing before he even saw what the volunteers were like.

When he heard the news of the [-]th Regiment's disastrous defeat in the Philippines, he still looked in disbelief and kept muttering: "We can fight ten against each other, and ten against each other!"

Eventually, Colonel Afrin also developed serious mental problems and died of depression a few years later.

Colonel Charles, you have missed Afrin’s life!

……

"Colonel, I learned from the President's Office that President Osmina is still here to see you."

Afrin said flatteringly: "Especially Dulkom, he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot now."

"Ah, let them be." Meng Shaoyuan said casually.

"Colonel, do you need me to remind them?"

"you?"

"Yes." Afrin said confidently: "Durkom is just a nerd. If no one tells him, he doesn't know what to do. If you trust me, please hand over this glorious task. Give me."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Major, you can do it yourself."
