On the way from Shangqiu to Zhaoyang Lake, a convoy was slowly moving forward. This convoy was very orderly. The trucks and armored vehicles were moving forward in coordination.
Usually, an armored vehicle was followed by a truck, and then another armored vehicle. There was a light machine gun in front of the truck. The Japanese had their fingers on the trigger, ready to fight at any time.
There were also cavalry and other troops patrolling the area. Needless to say, this was the 35th division, and they were currently in the midst of moving.
For this sweeping plan, Eternal Turtle Shiro was very determined to get rid of these guerrillas.
Ever since the outbreak of the war, the front lines were in a fierce battle, but the enemy's rear battlefield had never stopped firing. The Japanese had also been besieging these guerrillas.
However, with the expansion of the occupied area, the lack of military strength caused the Japanese to be unable to do their best in the enemy's rear. The encirclement was not as tight as an iron bucket, and they were not familiar with the terrain.
The guerrillas who were familiar with the terrain could always find a place to jump out of the encirclement. Every sweep had some gains, but the guerrillas seemed to be endless. After killing a batch, another batch would appear.
However, this time, Eternal Turtle Shiro felt that he had a great chance to completely eliminate the guerrillas in the territory.
Sitting in the armored vehicle, following the ups and downs of the road, Eternal Tortoise Shiro's mood was also immersed in the upcoming encirclement plan.
The commander had contacted many guerrillas. Although there were so many guerrillas on the battlefield behind the enemy's back that it was impossible to contact all of them, Yongsheng Kuishiro knew that as long as those big guerrillas were taken down, the big problem would be solved.
"Major General, have you ever thought of a problem?”
Sawai Hirano, the chief of staff of Kamehiro Yoshihara, sat on the other side of the armored vehicle and asked Kamehiro Yoshihara, who was deep in thought.
"Hmm? What is it?"
Eternal Turtle Shiro asked.
"Is it possible that your student Liu Chuan lied to you? Perhaps he didn't lie to the commander, but to the imperial army."
Hirano Sawai felt that this encirclement and suppression seemed to have gone too smoothly. If it really went so smoothly, the previous encirclement and suppression by the imperial army would not have ended in failure.
"Deceived the imperial army?"
Eternal Turtle Shiro smiled and waved his hand,""There's something you might not know. Some time ago, the Special Higher Police had investigated Xu Prefecture City and later captured a special agent of the military commander.
After interrogation, they found out that the commander had bribed Liu Chuan-kun. Liu Chuan-kun promised that as long as the guerrillas surrendered, he would guarantee their safety.
Therefore, the commander went to contact the guerillas without any worries. I had the same thought as you before, but after the Special Higher Police reported it, I no longer doubted it.
All these years, the Special Higher Police's intelligence has never been wrong. I believe there won't be any accidents this time ~"
When Hirano Sawai heard that the Special Higher Police had verified it, he was relieved. After all, from the encirclement and suppression plan, this clean-up was a little too simple. They would only fight a few battles and wait to receive prisoners of war. Was there really such a good thing in this world?
" Alright, Hirano-kun, don't think too much about it. Although Liu Chuan is my student, I know what to believe and what to suspect.
At least for now, there was no need to suspect him. Moreover, he had been assassinated by the Commander previously. Just this point alone meant that he was not one of the Commander's men.
Moreover, if he really had any other intentions, there was no reason for him to tell me in advance. After this incident, the hatred between him and China will deepen. I believe that even if he wants to rebel against the Empire, China will not tolerate him."
Yongsheng Guishilang said confidently, completely unaware that Liu Chuan had lied to him but not the commander. The words he said naturally did not exist.
Hirano Sawai nodded and asked another question,""One more thing, if we accept so many captives, what do you plan to do with them? Or should I kill him like before?"
" No, no, no. We won't kill them this time. What Yanagawa-kun said earlier makes sense. The reason why the Empire won so many victories in the early stages of the war and attacked so fiercely was largely because many Chinese soldiers surrendered.
And now, the imperial army was fighting with great difficulty. This was also related to the fact that the imperial army had killed prisoners of war several times. The Chinese army believed that surrendering meant death. If they didn't surrender, they might still be able to live, so they would naturally fight a bloody battle.
Let the captives this time live well and set an example ~"
Eternal Turtle Shiro was fooled by Liu Chuan's nonsense, but it was not nonsense.
However, Liu Chuan deliberately ignored one point. The hatred between China and the Japanese could no longer be resolved by giving preferential treatment to the captives. The hatred between the two had reached the point where they could not live under the same sky. Liu Chuan deliberately ignored this point.
Even if the Japanese treated the captives well, the Chinese army would still fight to the death. The war had already reached this stage. How could there be any changes just because of preferential treatment for prisoners?
As they were talking, the convoy stopped. Then, there was the sound of jogging. A Japanese staff officer opened the door of the armored vehicle and shouted,"Major General, the 239th regiment has sent a telegram. They have arrived at Dangshan County and are asking if they should start the siege plan.”
Yongsheng Kamishiro opened the car door and walked out. He took a look at the telegram and said,""Give them electricity and start the siege plan. However, he also warned the various regiments.
Burning, killing, and looting are not allowed to happen again. Since we are going to use the policy of appeasement now, we will appease them to the end. After this matter is done, we must strictly restrict the various troops.
If there's no effect, we'll mention it at that time. However, if there's an effect, everyone will have made a great contribution ~"
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
After the advisor left, Yongsheng Kameshiro took a deep breath. He did not know if the appeasement policy would work. According to Liu Chuan, it would take at least four to five months for the appeasement policy to start showing results.
What he was nervous about was whether the plan proposed by Liu Chuan would work. If it really worked, there would be no more guerrilla harassment in the rear, which would be a great achievement.
.................
The next day arrived. The summer morning sun was not warm, but it carried a hint of heat. Liu Chuan and the others set off again.
There was a guerrilla team in the Tongshan area. They were similar to the railway guerrillas in Zaozhuang, but there were differences. The main work of the railway guerrillas was on the railway.
Explode the railway, then pull the train, get some supplies, and harass the Japanese.
The guerrillas of Tong Shan were also involved in the railway. However, these guys were not simply bombing the railway or pulling the train. They were bombing the bridge.
The Jinpu railway line went from Xuzhou to Zaozhuang. In the middle, it had to cross the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, so there was a bridge. The guerrillas of Tongshan were making a fuss over the bridge.
