Volume 1: The Arms Dealer¡¯s Feast Chapter 248: Kanagawa

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jin Batian didn't know that the Japanese troops withdrew from Liaoning this time not only because most of the railway and highway lines in Liaoning were cut off, but more importantly because of the food problem.  The Japs were short of food in the city, and it was very serious.

    Jin Batian did this with very few personnel in 1933 by cutting off major railway and highway lines. The Japanese at that time did not withdraw from Liaoning in a hurry like today, but they only provided less assistance to the front line.  .

    At that time, the Japs did not exploit the people of the three northeastern provinces hard enough. When the Japs in the city were short of food, they would plunder a large amount of food among the urban residents.  Here in the Northeast, due to climate factors, nothing can be cultivated or harvested during the five- to six-month winter, so people are accustomed to storing large amounts of grain after the autumn harvest.

    What is the situation in the cities in the three eastern provinces like now? Working hard every day is just a three-in-one meal handed out by the Japanese.  Even such things have to be supplied in limited quantities on a per capita basis, which shows the Japanese's lack of food.

    The three eastern provinces are known as granaries. Naturally, the grain was used by the Japanese to support their troops.  However, Marshal Zhang has a financial burden of more than 400,000 yuan to raise troops. Not to mention that the number of soldiers raised by the little devils on this land is ten times that of Marshal Zhang, and they also have to adjust food to give back to the mainland and North Korea due to the large number of conscription.  Famine caused by reduced food production.

    It would be crazy if we could eat this food after years of brutal military conscription. After all, the number of farmers and cultivated land on this land has been gradually declining after September 18th - even after September 18th, the Japanese invaded from the mainland and North Korea.  Eight million people immigrated from the region to the three eastern provinces.

    In the days before the little devils finally retreated, the limited supply of three-in-one noodles for residents in cities across Liaoning was cut off. As the saying goes, if you want the horse to run fast and the horse not to eat grass, the last three-in-one is cut off.  The city that supplies one side can no longer bring social wealth to the Japanese, so it is reasonable to abandon this place.  The last three-in-one side was not gone, but was requisitioned by the Japanese army. It was precisely with these black and yellow three-in-one sides that the Japanese were able to safely withdraw their main troops, industries and other wealth from Liaoning.

    This approach also brought a lot of suffering to the Central Army who had just arrived in Liaoning. Every city they just took over was full of hungry people waiting for food - but according to Song Ziwen's theory, it was the most unreasonable to directly give food to the people.  Food wastes money, not to mention it can easily cause people's inertia. The most important thing now is to restore the economy of Liaoning.

    Although there are difficulties in cities across Liaoning, landlords in the countryside still have some food reserves. As long as a healthy economic system is restored, most people can still find something to eat.  Relying solely on state aid, if you help for a while, there will be people who will want you to help for the rest of their lives.  So what came with the army was not all kinds of relief, but various types of capitalists with national capital who invested and set up factories, mines and industries here.

    Because the guerrillas under Jin Batian had seriously damaged the railways, roads and bridges in Liaoning, Song Ziwen decided to use work as relief, calling in a large number of temporary workers to repair railways, roads and bridges across Liaoning and at the same time provide relief to the refugees in Liaoning city.  Find a bite to eat.

    At the same time, the waste paper-like Puppet Manchukuo bank notes circulating in Liaoning are cancelled. This cancellation does not mean exchanging oceans for Puppet Manchukuo bank notes. After all, the Changchun Puppet Manchukuo Bank is still operating, and a large number of printed Puppet Manchukuo bank notes will be lost if they are not kept intact.  Come here, in what year will this be over?  The Nanjing government only declared that Manchukuo's bank notes were illegal currency and were worthless if banks did not accept them. That was all.  You used to save too many Manchukuo bank notes. I'm sorry, but you deserve it. It's a good thing that I didn't ask you for capitalizing on the enemy.

    Mr. Huang has often sighed recently. Although the arrival of the Central Army is a good thing for the time being, the Puppet Manchukuo bank notes in the village - mainly the hands of Mr. Huang's family have really become waste paper.

    "Why are you sighing? Agricultural taxes are exempted on the territory of the Central Army. You don't have to pay taxes on the farmland harvests this year and in the future. You should be happy." Seeing that Mr. Huang was in low spirits, Jin Batian comforted him.

    "Is it really a good thing that the agricultural tax is exempted?" In Mr. Huang's mind, the agricultural tax is the foundation of the world. If his ancestors had not come up with this method of sharing the land into the land, it would not have been possible for the Qing Dynasty to last for more than 200 years.  Many years - after all, there is a barbarian who has never had a hundred years of luck, right?

    Jin Batian thought the same thing. After all, this is an area ruled by the Japs. How could there be rumors that are good for the Central Army? It has not been a year since the agricultural tax exemption was implemented, but even in Shanxi, which is not far from Peiping,  Farmers have not yet enjoyed this benefit.

    Jin Batian said no more: "You will know when the time comes. When the Central Army comes, the market will naturally be restored, and your ginseng business can be resumed, right?"

    Mr. Huang nodded: "That's true."

    Now JinbaOnly one Valmei was left among Tian's mercenaries, and the rest chased the remnants of the Japs who had been withdrawn from the Jehol and Liaoning front lines into the territory of Jilin Province and continued to attack the Japs. After all, the Japs still have a foothold here.  Unstable is the best time to kill.  If we were to follow the example of those Gallic chickens in France and create some sort of Maginot Line, it would take a lot of effort.

    "But the Japanese would rather suffer huge casualties every day than retreat. If they retreat further, the puppet Manchukuo emperor will have to change his palace. Not to mention, Jilin is not a useless area like Liaoning.  Besides, where are you going to retreat to?  If we go to Heilongjiang and North Korea, those ghostly black guns and cannons won¡¯t come after us.

    Nowadays, the Japs are being punished, and every night, at least one-third of the people are on duty to prevent night attacks.  As if this wasn't enough, the flares near the camp kept firing all night long, which really made them afraid of being killed.  It is not unusual for a patrol team organized as a brigade to go out at night. After all, if the number of people is small, they will definitely be eaten.  A large group of people can survive a few times with mines, cannons, and guns.

    There¡¯s not enough food. What¡¯s the matter? Every camp was hit with guns, cannons, and mines every day. So many Japs are all meat. If those Japs soldiers on the Rehe, Liaoning, and Jilin front lines had not eaten meat, they would have starved to death on the way.  .  Ancient books say, why not eat minced meat?  ¡ª¡ªEmperor Hui of Jin is also a talented person, but it is a pity that he was not born in the Japanese country, otherwise he would have been a wise king.

    Although enduring casualties, the Japanese were still sparing no effort to build defense lines in the Siping, Liaoyuan, Tonghua and Yalu River Liaoning areas.  Looking at it now, the counterattack is small, but solving the security problem first is big.  Since retreating to Jilin, more than 20,000 Japs are still dying every day. If this number can't last for two years, the Japs can announce that the active troops will be replaced. What are you talking about? How is this possible if they are all dead? The Japs are still on the island.  Recruiting troops continuously.

    Since the Second Battle of Jehol began, two million Japanese soldiers have been killed.  This number plus the seriously injured and disabled accounted for almost one-third of the Japanese troops. The seriously wounded Japanese soldiers who lacked medical treatment and medicine could not receive good treatment except for officers and other important personnel. For ordinary soldiers,  Serious injuries are equivalent to death, and even penetrating gunshot wounds to the limbs have a high chance of being disabled. After all, their enemies have been using 7.92¡Á57 mm large-caliber and powerful machine rifle bullets.

    The first day of admission for Class 8, Grade 1, Junior High School, Kanagawa Shohoku Middle School

    After the entrance ceremony after the New Year, there was no teacher in the classroom to teach the students. Instead, teachers of various subjects and class teachers took turns verbally bombarding the newly admitted students to encourage the students who had just been promoted from elementary school to junior high school to enlist in the army.

    The pot-bellied class teacher Anxi said earnestly to the students below, whose average age was only fourteen years old: "You know how much I hope our eighth grade class is the first class in the school to decide to enlist in the army. What an honor it is. For  Emperor, for the holy war, your seniors have shed their blood in Manchuria. How heroic that is.

    I hope you can follow their footsteps and join the army collectively to join the jihad.  Last year's Class 8 of Grade 1 was the first class in the school and even the county to sign up to join the army. This is the supreme honor left by our senior Class 8 of Grade 1.  I hope that this class of Grade 1 and Class 8 can maintain the fine traditions of their predecessors.  "

    ¡° If it were the group of students last year, they might have been deceived by Anxi¡¯s head teacher, but this year¡¯s group of students is obviously very unscrupulous.  After Teacher Anxi finished speaking, there was a burst of whispering below, the sound was not loud nor quiet, just enough for Teacher Anxi to hear some.

    ¡°My brother joined the war two years ago, and no letter has been sent back in more than half a year. Neighbors say it¡¯s very bad.¡±

    "Don't say half a year, three months without a letter is very dangerous. I advise you to go to the Yasukuni Shrine next year to look for your brother's name. My uncle's name is also in it."

    "What's the use of finding the name? It's not like before. The family can still receive some care after entering Kudanban. Now even the basic pension is not given to the family members because they concealed the list of those who were injured in the war."

    "Now that the daily food quota has been reduced, adults and children can't have enough to eat. Mom collects leaves for us to eat every day. Look at the big belly of Teacher Anxi. He must have gained weight by betraying all our seniors."

    "I heard that most schools have suspended classes. From the principal to the class teacher and all the teachers of all subjects, they just persuade students to join the army every day, just for the commendation from above. It's really disgusting."

    "Not all classes have been suspended. There is one class in every school that is still in class. They are all opened for the second generation of power and the second generation of wealth who have connections and connections, because they are destined to be the elite of the future society. During the war  Well, we don¡¯t even have the chance to accompany the prince to study. All day long, we are serving as soldiers, enlisting in the army, jihad, the emperor, and breakfast.You know what I'm doing here, I might as well help my mother dig some wild vegetables and catch a few small fish.  "

    "Internal news, I heard that the situation on the front line is very bad. The empire has even lost part of the fruits of the Manchuria Incident. I don't know the details. Anyway, it is certain that we will lose troops and lose territory. Those people in the military department are really idiots. I don't want to do it for them.  Stupid battle plan to get yourself killed.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m really hungry, I¡¯m going to take a nap, please keep your voice down.¡±

    ¡°Hey, hey, it¡¯s not good to sleep on an empty stomach.¡±

    "At least you won't be hungry when you fall asleep. Besides, there are a few people who don't fall asleep hungry now. I heard that the soldiers' rations have also been reduced."

    When the empire wins, the people are naturally jubilant, but when they lose, it is not so harmonious.  It was also the first time for Anxi's head teacher to meet such a student. The blushing and thick-necked head teacher Anxi pointed at the students under the podium and said: "You, you"

    I saw Anxi¡¯s head teacher suddenly fell to the ground after saying a few words about you.

    This time the students had a new topic.

    "Do you think the white-haired ghost is pretending to be dead or pretending to be dead?"

    "Isn't that the same? Should I report it?"

    "What can I do if I report it? Send it to the hospital? There are very few drugs that hospitals can prescribe now. There are a lot of drugs on the black market, but only the wealthy can afford the expensive ones, otherwise they have to pay for a piece of aspirin sulfonamide.  Go get a loan shark."

    "That's right, let the white-haired ghost go as he is. If he can die on the podium, maybe he can be praised in the newspaper and used for publicity?"

    "That's true."

    Anxi¡¯s head teacher just fell to the ground at this time, but he was still conscious, and the students¡¯ words came into his ears word for word.  Anxi's head teacher wanted to say: "I have money, and I can afford high-priced medicines on the black market. Send me to the hospital quickly."

    But it is obvious that the students do not have this desire, or even that much energy. With this little physical strength, they might as well go to the woods or even the beach to find something to eat after class.  A large part of them have decided not to come to class after this bullshit entrance ceremony. There are no teachers who want to teach anyway. Their only purpose here is to persuade students to join the army. It is best for the whole class to sign up to join the army and participate in jihad.  Only in this way can the social value of the school be reflected at this time.

    The remaining small number are the heads of the family who are more or less well-connected. They want to find some connections and join the reserved class for each grade to study with the prince.  The kid also knows that a primary school diploma has little future in society.

    "For active duty and reserve soldiers, they must naturally obey the orders of the military department, but for those who are not in these two groups, they can only be lured to Li Xiao and used righteousness and other means to win them over.  However, if the war is victorious, the effect will naturally be much better. But now that we have lost troops and generals on the battlefield and lost one-third of the territory gained since the Manchuria Incident, there will always be times when the news cannot be suppressed.

    Unable to share the dividends of the war, gradually the war-weariness of the Japanese and civilians grew.  A privately sung "Song of Death If You Don't Go to Manchuria" spread throughout Hokkaido, Main Island, Shikoku, Kyushu, and North Korea.  Although the Japanese propaganda machine was still running the printing press at 200% power, the overwhelming number of newspapers could not suppress this unhealthy trend among the people.

    Faced with severe losses this year and the unfavorable domestic recruitment situation, the Japanese base camp had no choice but to issue the highest order through the Japanese emperor for compulsory recruitment. The compulsory recruitment order stipulated that all non-disabled men over fourteen years old and under sixty years old are not civil servants.  , senior workers, business owners, scientists and active soldiers must gather at the local recruitment offices within the designated date.  Those who fail to do so will be charged with desertion and may be sentenced to death.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and and the Japanese military recruitment and physical examination is very lax, as long as you can pass it, it will be useful.  A missing finger or toe is not considered a disability at all to the Japanese. A disabled person is at least missing a hand, a foot or two eyes. In the eyes of the Japanese who are short of soldiers, they are deaf and mute.  People can also be soldiers.  The Japanese military recruitment office would collect all those with tuberculosis and hepatitis - at worst, they would be organized into tuberculosis troops and hepatitis troops and sent to enemy lines to carry out biological and chemical warfare.

    It¡¯s just that the Japanese high-level officials did so brilliantly that they finally aroused public outrage¡ªthe Japanese children with power and money were naturally privileged and could not serve as soldiers and go to Manchuria to die.  The people finally became excited, and women gathered to attack the recruitment offices and military training centers in various places, wanting to return their fathers, husbands, children, brothers, and brothers to their homes.

    "If there were only these women, it would only be a few days of rioting. Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Those women only have feather dusters, brooms, and rolling pins in their hands."  But among the Japanese at the bottom are soldiers and officers, and there are many who are dissatisfied with the top brass., many people would rather die on the island than in Manchuria, and these people have guns in their hands.

    And these island's devil soldiers know that it is not those who are not those who trained for military training, but the TGG special scouts and senior officers from various places.  As a result, undercurrents surged. On June 1, 1937, the first anti-war shot was fired in Kanagawa. More than 5,000 low-level soldiers and low-level officers in Kanagawa revolted and opened the ammunition depot. They took out their firearms and killed more than 100 people.  Thirty-nine military and local intelligence personnel were stationed in the special high school, as well as senior military officers.

    The rebel army surrounded the training center of the recruitment office, and after recruiting the soldiers here, they released more than 20,000 people who had been recruited and trained. Immediately, more than 10,000 people expressed their intention to join the rebel army. If they did not join the rebel army, they would wait until the regular army fought.  You will still be drafted when you come back. After all, you are a soldier, so why not be a soldier? It is better to die at home than to die in a foreign country.

    Everything has a beginning. Kanagawa's first anti-war shot sparked a rebellion that quickly spread to dozens of counties and cities in Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu.  For a time, the rebel army had hundreds of followers, and soon it grew to millions.

    The rebels in Kanagawa knew what they were doing. They immediately gathered their forces to attack Kyoto. Hirohito hurriedly ordered the First Division guarding Kyoto to counter the rebellion, but the First Division, known as the Emperor's Guards, was under the influence of the ruling faction.  After overpowering the Imperial Dao Sect, he has always had little interest in his own people beating his own people.

    In the view of the young officers at the bottom of the Kodo Sect, Emperor Hirohito betrayed their Kodo Sect camp, and it would be better to replace him with a younger emperor to control him better.  In the counter-insurgency operations, not only did they not work hard, but many soldiers and officers of the Imperial Sect went to the rebels with weapons and ammunition.  This made the rebel army attacking Tokyo even stronger. With the help of the First Division, they quickly occupied most of Tokyo's urban areas and forced them to attack the Emperor's Imperial Palace.

    The Japanese Navy stated that if the Emperor allows it, the Navy's naval guns can bombard the Tokyo area indiscriminately to carry out firepower counterinsurgency.  (To be continued.
