    After Toichi Sasaki explained to Ishihara Wanji why General Ueda Kenkichi was in a hurry to transfer him back, his face that had improved a little became extremely gloomy again.  ¡¾.Com text¡¿

    When Ishihara Wanji's words fell, he said with great dissatisfaction: "Ishihara-kun, did I hear wrongly, or has the Kwantung Army's intelligence collection ability declined? The opponent has already eaten up so many of our troops, and he is still continuously attacking us before our eyes.  They disappeared twice, and the Kwantung Army still hasn¡¯t found out where their hiding place is? Ishihara-kun, don¡¯t you think this is ridiculous? When did the Kwantung Army become such a waste?¡±

    Hearing Sasaki's sarcastic words, Ishihara Wan'er couldn't help but blush slightly and said: "Your Excellency, this is my dereliction of duty. But at present, we have almost completed all the mountainous areas in Wuchang, Acheng, Zhuhe, and Weihe.  After searching, no trace of them was found. Only the bodies of the Japanese and Manchu soldiers who were killed in the ambush were found in the Wei River and Wei'an Mountain areas."

    "However, we have now begun to change the reconnaissance plan. Not only have we dispatched a large number of spies disguised as woodcutters, ginseng pickers and even hunters to search in the mountains, we have also dispatched a large number of reconnaissance aircraft to expand the search scope. We have also sent a large number of spies to Ning'an and Yanshou  We will conduct aerial reconnaissance in the mountainous areas around Laoye Ridge and Zhangguangcai Ridge in Shulan and other places. Please rest assured that as long as we are given a certain amount of time, we will definitely find these damn Chinese people.  It must still be hiding in some hidden corner.¡±

    "Now the weather has gradually turned colder, and the mountainous areas where these Chinese people are hiding are already biting by the cold wind. These Chinese people can still hold on during the day, but at night, they must light bonfires to keep warm. In the dark mountain forests of Beiman at night  If someone lights a bonfire among them, our night flight reconnaissance machine will easily find their traces. "

    "Although Your Excellency was transferred from the Kwantung Army for a period of time, the policy you formulated to merge villages and households, separate civilians and bandits, and forcefully relocate residents from areas where bandits are active, especially those in the mountains, has never stopped and has been receiving vigorous support.  implementation.¡±

    "After the efforts from last year to this year, the mountains and forests of northern Manchuria, especially those areas where anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese elements are active, can be said to be devoid of any human habitation except for the logging camps run by the empire."

    "If there are still people lighting bonfires to keep warm in the mountains and forests at night, then they can be sure to be these people. Because the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements originally active in this area have moved north or south under the continuous attacks of the Kwantung Army."

    Hearing Ishihara Wanji¡¯s answer, Sasaki nodded in agreement.  But he asked unwillingly: "Didn't we get any valuable information from the interrogation of prisoners of war? You know, although there are many hard-core Chinese people, there are also many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. During the torture,  Well, there are only a few people who can insist on not opening their mouths.¡±

    When Sasaki asked about the prisoners of war, Ishihara Wanji looked ashamed and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, in the battle with these ruthless bandits, we have not yet been able to capture a single living person."  A prisoner of war who had time to ask for a confession. During the pursuit on the Ashe River, a seriously injured prisoner of war was captured. Unfortunately, the guy tore out his own intestines and committed suicide before he could ask for a confession. "

    Having said this, Ishihara Wanji lowered his head deeply and bowed deeply to Sasaki: "Your Excellency, this China force moves erratically and is especially good at using ambush tactics. Although its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Imperial Army soldiers, even Manchuria soldiers  **, but they were repeatedly defeated because of their cunning. Our army suffered heavy casualties in the battle, not only losing a large number of soldiers and equipment, but also a large number of well-trained officers.  Died in the line of duty."

    "The Kwantung Army set up ambushes several times in order to annihilate it in one fell swoop, but did not expect that it would escape many times. Our army failed to attack, but suffered heavy casualties. Not counting other battles, as well as the casualties of the Manchurian police and police forces, only in Wuchang  In the battle at the junction of , Acheng, our loyal and brave imperial soldiers suffered more than a thousand casualties. "

    "Your Excellency has served as the top military adviser in Manchukuo for many years, and is known as the father of the Manchurian revolution within the Kwantung Army. His experience in dealing with various anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese elements is unparalleled in the Kwantung Army. So this time General Ueda Kenkichi  I am transferring you back to the Kwantung Army in the hope that I can use your experience to wipe out all these ruthless bandits who hold the empire¡¯s top secrets. Please, sir.¡±

    "The empire's top secret? What's going on?" Sasaki couldn't help but be stunned when Major General Ishihara Kanji mentioned that the opponent he was about to face actually possessed the empire's top secret.

    At this point, Ishihara Kanji had no need to hide anything, so he simply poured beans out of a bamboo tube and said everything: "After these Chinese people escaped from the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department, when the Kwantung Army inspected the scene?It was discovered that all the information previously obtained by the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department at the Wuchang Beiyinhe Base was lost.  No traces of burning were left at the scene.  "

    "In addition, some of the Empire's latest chemical warfare weapons data that accompanied experts from the Ministry of Chemical Weapons to the bungalow area were also lost. Not only were these data lost, which would bring serious harm to the Empire if they were publicized at all, but the commander of the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply was also the commander of the Kwantung Army.  The passwords and radio stations used to communicate with the Ministry of Defense and the Tokyo Military Headquarters were also lost.¡±

    "Yaka, you bastard." After hearing Ishihara Wanji's words, Sasaki couldn't describe his anger anymore.  As a senior general of the Japanese army, Sasaki Toichi, who had previously served as a military advisor and diplomatic envoy to the Nationalist Government for many years, naturally understood the consequences that would result if this information was leaked.

    ¡°If the whole world knew that the mighty Empire of Japan actually used living people for human experiments to cultivate bacterial weapons that could destroy the entire world, then the Empire of Japan would become a public enemy of the whole world.  This is not something that can be solved by introducing a scapegoat or two.

    The Empire of Japan is the number one power in Asia, but that is in Asia.  For the entire world, the national power of the Empire of Japan is far from comparable to that of the established Western powers.  Once this information is leaked, it will bring unpredictable consequences to the empire.

    This is not something that can be solved by the Imperial Army capturing Nanjing, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and then just introducing a scapegoat.  You must know that the Imperial Army killed hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing. After all, they were on the territory of China, and they only killed Chinese people.

    For those hypocritical Westerners who always hold an attitude of not caring about their own affairs, as long as their own core interests are not involved, the most they can do is protest. Even if the Japanese army killed millions of people in China, it was nothing more than a few words.  It¡¯s just a matter between China and Japan.

    Last year, in order to deter the Chinese who still dared to resist, the Imperial Army showed off its power in Nanjing and executed hundreds of thousands of people. Westerners did not stop exporting strategic materials to the Empire.  Not even a pint of gasoline or a kilogram of steel was sold less.  Those dry verbal protests are not even scratching the surface.

    ¡°But bacteria have no national boundaries. Once they spread, it¡¯s not just the Chinese people who will be unlucky.  Using human bodies for weapons experiments, even if it leaks out, it won't be a big deal.  But once the empire's development of bacterial weapons of mass destruction spreads, those Westerners will not just protest verbally when they feel that they are also facing threats.

    For a low-cost but powerful weapon like germ warfare, Sasaki believes that Japan will not be the only one developing it.  I am afraid that the Western powers that are still frightened by the mountains of corpses and blood of World War I have developed it.  But there are scandals in every family, and it¡¯s a good job to keep them to yourself.  Others are also developing it, but if they cover it up well and don't leak it out, then nothing will happen.  If this leaks out, he will become a public enemy to the whole world.

    ¡°It wouldn¡¯t matter if the information alone was obtained by these people.  Given the empire's control over Manchuria, these Chinese people could not escape even if they took the information.  But these hateful Chinese people actually have radio stations in their hands now, which is amazing.  With radio, communication with the outside world is much more convenient.  No matter how secretive something is, the whole world will know about it once the power is turned on.

    Sasaki is indeed a cunning guy. He saw the key to the matter at a glance.  The Kwantung Army was eager to transfer itself back, not because these people killed an army major general, nor because these people were so powerful that others could not subdue them.  But because they are eager to completely eliminate them to prevent the leakage of these top-secret information.

    In fact, when Sasaki went to Lieutenant General No. 1, he learned that his future opponent had no radio at this time, but was troubled by being unable to get in touch with Guan Nei because he did not have a password.  Among all the radio stations, the few high-power radio stations that were thrown away by the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply and could communicate with the customs were also used as ear decorations for the deaf because of the small amount of gasoline used for power generation that was seized and used to consume embers.

    Fifty-watt and one-hundred-watt radio stations cannot be supported by the power generated by dry batteries and hand motors.  For a fifty-watt radio station, the small amount of power generated by the hand motor can only be used for listening, but as for transmitting, it cannot support it at all.

    And for a one-hundred-watt radio station, that¡¯s even more unthinkable.  If you want to use a radio station with that kind of power, without a fixed power source, you can only use the electricity generated by a gasoline generator to support its use.

    After all, I am not a communications major, let alone a professional.  Yang Zhen, who was troubled by the fact that the few high-power radios had lost their use, did not expect that he had made an empirical mistake.  In Yang Zhen's view, with current communication methods being backward and without satellite phones or mobile phones, the only way to make long-distance communications is through high-power radio stations that use more than 50 watts.  As for the fifteen-watt radio station???Because of the distance, long-distance communication is impossible.

    Yang Zhen did not expect that his electromagnetic environment in later generations would be far from what it is today.  Not to mention other mobile phone signals, which are almost everywhere, can effectively interfere with radio signals.  Although Yang Zhen used frequency hopping radios in later generations, the signals that can cause interference in later generations are also diverse and of many types. You can't think of anything you can't find.

    In addition to the astonishing number of mobile phones, various public and underground radio signals are almost everywhere, causing great interference to radio signals.  Yang Zhen once heard a real joke in later generations. After Taiwan was equipped with American Hawkeye early warning aircraft, due to signal interference from almost ubiquitous underground radio stations, this extremely advanced equipment could not only fly over the high seas.  The efficiency of use over Taiwan is greatly reduced.

    There was an incident in the Taiwan Air Force in which an early warning aircraft staff had no choice but to listen to a drug advertisement in the sky for half an hour because the communication frequency was interfered with.  Although this matter is somewhat absurd, it is enough to illustrate the complexity of the electromagnetic environment in later generations.

    But the electromagnetic environment at this time was much cleaner than in later generations. Except for a small number of radio stations, there was almost no signal interference.  Even if you use a 15-watt radio station, as long as you have a long enough antenna, you can still get in touch with Yan'an and even Chongqing.  Of course, the premise is to have a communication password.

    Yang Zhen made a common sense mistake, but Guo Bingxun, another member of the army who had a deep understanding of radio stations, made an empirical mistake.  He learned all this knowledge abroad, especially in France, which is known for its military rigidity.

    At St. Cyr Military Academy, no instructor told him that using a 15-watt radio would allow for long-distance communication through certain methods.  Because France, as the most developed country in the world, has no shortage of basic military supplies such as radios. Radios of various powers, especially high-power radios, are available.  There is no need to forcefully use a fifteen-watt radio station, which they consider a low-power radio station, for long-distance communication.

    "The two people who were barely proficient in it didn't think of it, and no one thought of the other people who didn't know much about radio stations, especially those who lacked high-quality professional talents.  Even the best operators trained by Guo Bingxun's crash course can only be regarded as half-full.  My own business training still needs to be strengthened, so why can I still think of modifying the antenna?  Therefore, after all the seized gasoline was consumed, Yang Zhen's biggest headache was losing the only way to contact Guan Nei.

    Regarding Yang Zhen¡¯s distress, Sasaki Toichi and Ishihara Wanji naturally didn¡¯t know, nor did the Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Compared with the embarrassment Yang Zhen brought to them, they were more concerned about whether the information on the Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department that Yang Zhen had in hand would be leaked.

    After figuring out the key to the matter, Sasaki calmed down.  Looking at Major General Ishihara Kanji who was looking at him expectantly, Sasaki smiled and said: "Ishihara-kun, don't be anxious, go back and tell Commander Ueda, at least the information has not been leaked yet."

    "Now the imperial army has captured Wuhan, the most important city in China besides Nanjing. As for the China government, which has been demoted to a local government, its small number of modern industrial bases have all fallen into the hands of the imperial army."

    "Now that the Chinese government has moved west to Chongqing, the modern industry on hand is almost negligible, and it is far from being able to provide enough weapons and equipment for its own army, which is large but poorly equipped."

    "Although China is rich, it's about resources. For an agricultural country, China's economic foundation is far from being able to support a modern war. Although the war lasted only a year and a half, China lost its richest place.  The government is at its wits end. If it obtains this information, will the Chinese government, which is eager to seek international support, make this information public, and will it remain silent as it is now? "

    "The leader of the Chinese people who dared to rebel had a very clear mind. He knew that the information was no better than a pile of waste paper before it was communicated with his government. In the absence of contact with the outside world,  , Even if he releases this information through the phone, how many people will believe it? Without the support of the government, what is the use of the phone call? "

    "Therefore, the Kwantung Army does not need to be too nervous about the loss of these data. Even if those Chinese people use clear telegrams to announce it, we, these Chinese people, can completely shirk the responsibility by making rumors in order to attract international attention.  Anyway, the Imperial Foreign Ministry officials are thick-skinned enough and won¡¯t care about this time.¡±

    Having said this, Sasaki's expression changed and he said seriously: "However, we cannot underestimate the harm these people will bring in the future. It is our best choice to nip all dangerous factors in the bud."??What to do.  "

    "Please Ishihara-kun please go back and tell Commander Ueda to order a full blockade of the Manchu-Soviet border. As long as these people do not take this information to Soviet Russia, for now, the threat to us is not great."

    Having said that, Sasaki walked to the large map hanging in the secret room, picked up the baton and pointed at the map and said: "As for the elimination of these people, I think we need to change our tactics before we find out their specific hiding places.  ¡±

    "According to Mr. Ishihara's account, this man is a master of guerrilla warfare and deserves our attention. In the dense mountains and forests of northern Manchuria, without the leadership of anyone, especially without the cooperation of traitors, he rashly  We will be very passive when we go into the mountains to clear out the enemy.¡±
