After Sasaki Ishihara Kanir was about to explain why General Kenyoshi Ueda was in a hurry to transfer himself back, his face, which had already become very gloomy, became.

After Ishihara Kaner finished speaking, he said with great dissatisfaction: "Ishihara, did I hear it wrong, or did the Kanto Army's intelligence collection ability have decreased? The opponent has eaten up so many of our troops and disappeared under our noses twice in a row. The Kanto Army has not yet found out where their hidden place is? Ishihara, don't you think this is ridiculous? When did the Kanto Army become so useless?"

Hearing Sasaki's words with sarcastic words, Ishihara Kanir couldn't help but blush and said slightly, "Your Excellency, this is my dereliction of duty. But at present, we have searched almost all the mountainous areas in Wuchang, Acheng, Zhuhe, and Weihe, and we have not found any traces of them. But we found the bodies of the Japanese and Manchu soldiers who were ambushed and killed by him in the Weihe area of ​​Weihe. "

"However, we have now begun to change the reconnaissance plan. We have not only sent a large number of spies to make up woodcutters, collectors and even hunters to search in the mountains. We have also sent a large number of reconnaissance planes to expand the search range. We have conducted aerial reconnaissance in the mountains of Laoyeling and Zhangguangcailing in Ning'an, Yanshou, Shulan and other places. Please rest assured that as long as we give us a certain amount of time, we will definitely catch these damn Chinese people. I believe that these people have not yet run out of these areas and must still hide in some secret corner."

"Now the weather is getting colder, and the mountainous areas hiding these Chinese people are already biting cold. These Chinese people can still hold on during the day, but at night, they must ignite bonfires to keep warm. In the dark mountains and forests in Beiman City at night, if someone lights the bonfire, our night-facing reconnaissance opportunities will easily find their traces."

"Although you have been transferred from the Kwantung Army for a period of time, your policy of returning home to the garrison and separating the people and bandits has been unstoppable, and has been vigorously implemented."

"After efforts last year to this year, the mountains and forests in North Manchuria, especially those areas where anti-Manchuria and anti-Japanese elements are active, are no longer crowded except for the logging farms run by the empire."

"If there are still people lighting bonfires in the mountains and forests at night to keep warm, then it is certain that these people are undoubtedly these people. Because the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements who were originally active in this area have already gone north or south under the continuous attacks of the Kwantung Army."

Hearing Ishihara Kanji's answer, Sasaki nodded reluctantly. But he asked unwillingly: "Have you received any valuable information for the interrogation of prisoners of war? You must know that although there are many hard bones among the Chinese, there are also many people who are afraid of death. Under severe punishment, there are a few who can insist on not opening their mouths."

When Sasaki asked about the prisoners of war, Ishihara Kanir looked ashamed and said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, in the battle with this bandit, we have not yet been able to capture a living prisoner who can ask for confessions. When we were chasing the Ash River, we had captured a seriously injured prisoner of war. Unfortunately, before the guy could ask, he broke his intestine and committed suicide."

Speaking of this, Ishihara Kanir lowered his head deeply and bowed to Sasaki and said, "Your Excellency, these troops are erratic in their actions, especially at the ambush tactics. Although their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Imperial Army soldiers, and even the Manchukuo Army, they have been repeatedly successful because of their cunning. Our army suffered heavy casualties in the battle with them, not only lost a large number of soldiers and equipment, but also lost a large number of well-trained officers. Even Major General Masato died of his life."

"The Kwantung Army set up several ambushes to annihilate them in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly they escaped repeatedly. Our army failed to attack, but suffered heavy casualties. Not to mention other battles, as well as casualties between the Manchukuo Army and the police force, in the battle in the junction of Wuchang and Acheng, my loyal and brave imperial soldiers suffered more than a thousand casualties."

"You have served as the highest military adviser in Manchukuo for many years, and are known as the father of the Manchukuo Army within the Kanto Army. No one can match the Kanto Army when dealing with various anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements. Therefore, this time General Ueda Kenyoshi transferred your Excellency back to the Kanto Army, and hopes to use your experience to wipe out all the bandits who hold the highest core secrets of the empire. Please, yours."

"The highest secret of the empire? What's going on?" Sasaki was stunned when he heard Major General Ishihara Kanir mention that the opponent he was about to face actually grasped the highest secret of the empire.

At this point, Ishihara Kanir didn't have to hide anything, so he simply poured beans into pieces and said everything: "After these Chinese people escaped from the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply, the Kanto Army found that all the information obtained by the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply before was lost at the Wuchang Back Yinhe Base. There were no traces of burning at the scene."

"And all the information on some of the latest chemical warfare weapons of the Empire that went to the bungalow area with experts from the Ministry of Chemical Corps was lost. Not only did these information that would cause serious harm to the Empire if they were promoted a little bit, but all the radio stations were lost, the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply used the passwords used to communicate with the Kanto Army Command and the Tokyo Military Affairs Department."

"Baga, bastard." Hearing Ishihara Kanji, Sasaki Isaka could no longer be described as angry. As a senior Japanese general and had served as a military adviser for many years in the National Government, Sasaki Isaka, a diplomatic envoy, naturally understood what consequences would be if these information were leaked.

If the whole world knew that the great Japanese Empire actually used living people to experiment with humans and cultivate bacterial weapons that could destroy the entire world, then the great Japanese Empire would become the public enemy of the whole world. This is not something that can be solved by introducing one or two scapegoats.

The Great Japanese Empire is the number one power in Asia, but it is in Asia. For the whole world, the Great Japanese Empire's national strength is far from comparable to those of the old Western powers. Once these information is leaked, it will bring unpredictable consequences to the empire.

This is not something that can be solved by killing more than 100,000 people after the Imperial Army captured Nanjing, and only launching a scapegoat. You should know that the Imperial Army killed more than 100,000 people in Nanjing, after all, it was on the territory of China, and it was just killing the Chinese people.

For those who have always been stubborn and have no regard for their own core interests, those hypocritical Westerners can only protest at most. Even if the Japanese army kills millions of people in China, it is only a matter between China and Japan.

Last year, in order to deter the Chinese people who were still brave enough to resist, the Imperial Army showed its strength in Nanjing and executed more than 100,000 people. Westerners did not stop exporting strategic materials to the Empire. Even a pint of gasoline and a kilogram of steel were sold. Those dry verbal protests were not even scratching the surface.

But bacteria have no borders. Once it spreads, the unlucky ones are not just Chinese. Using humans to experiment with weapons is not a big deal even if it is leaked. But once the empire develops a bacterial weapon of mass destruction spreads, those Westerners will not be as simple as verbally protesting when they feel that they are also facing threats.

For bacterial warfare, a weapon with low cost but powerful power, Sasaki believes that Japan will not be the only one developing. I am afraid that the Western powers, who are still scared by the sea of ​​corpses and blood in World War I, have not developed it very much. But there are ugly things, and it is a good thing to do if they don’t miss it. But if they miss it well, they will become public enemies of the whole world.

It would be fine if the information was obtained by these people. With the empire's control over Manchuria, these Chinese people could not escape even if they had information. But these hateful Chinese people now have radio stations in their hands, which is amazing. With radio stations, communication with the outside world will be much more convenient. Any secret thing can be known by a power-up.

Sasaki Daichi is worthy of being a cunning guy. He saw the key point at a glance. The Kwantung Army was anxious to transfer itself back, not because these people killed an army major general, nor because these people had strong combat power and others could not subdue it. But because they were eager to completely eliminate them to prevent the leak of these top-secret information.

In fact, Sasaki went to the Imperial High School General and knew that his future opponent was having a radio station at this time, but he was worried that he could not contact Guannei because he had no password. Among all the radio stations, the high-power radio stations that could be connected to Guannei lost by the epidemic prevention and water supply department, which also became the ear decoration of the deaf person because of the small amount of gasoline seized for power generation.

A fifty-watt and one hundred-watt radio station cannot be supported by the dry battery and the little power generated by the hand-crank motor. For a fifty-watt radio station, the little power generated by the hand-crank motor can only be heard, and as for the sending of the report, it cannot be supported at all.

For a 100-watt radio station, you should not even think about it. If you want to use a radio station with power, you can only use the power generated by a gasoline generator to support its use when there is no fixed power supply.

After all, he is not a communications student, nor is he a professional. Yang Zhen, who is very troubled by the loss of use of only a few high-power radio stations, did not expect that he had made an empirical mistake. In Yang Zhen's view, if the communication methods are now behind, without satellite phones or mobile phones, long-distance communication can only be done with high-power radio stations with more than 50 watts. As for a 15 watt-barrel station, long-distance communication cannot be done due to the distance of the operation.

Yang Zhen did not expect that his electromagnetic environment in later generations was far from comparable to that in present. Not to mention another mobile phone signal that was almost everywhere, it could effectively interfere with radio signals. Although Yang Zhen used frequency hopping radio stations in later generations, there were also many signals that could cause interference in later generations, only you could not imagine, but nothing could not be found.

In addition to the large number of amazing mobile phones, only various publicly available underground radio signals are almost everywhere, causing great interference to the radio signals. Yang Zhen once heard a real joke in later generations. After Taiwan equipped the American Hawkeye early warning aircraft, the signal interference of underground radio stations was almost everywhere, which greatly reduced the efficiency of this extremely advanced equipment in the air in Taiwan, in addition to flying over the high seas.

There was an incident in the Taiwan Air Force that early warning aircraft staff were interfered with the communication frequency and could not help but listen to drug-selling advertisements in the sky for half an hour. Although this incident is a bit ridiculous, 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 later generations. Apart from a small number of radio stations, there was almost no signal interference. Even if a 15-watt radio station was used, as long as it had an antenna long enough, it could contact Yan'an or even Chongqing. Of course, the premise was to have a communication password.

Yang Zhen made common sense mistakes, and as for another Guo Bingxun in the army, who had a deep understanding of radio stations, he made empirical mistakes. His knowledge was learned abroad, especially in France, which is known for its military compliance and conservatism.

At Saint-Cyr Military Academy, no instructor told him that he could use a fifteen-watt radio station, and that there were certain ways to conduct long-distance communication. Because France, as the most developed country in the world, does not shortage of basic military supplies such as radio stations, and radio stations of various power, especially high-power stations, are available. There is no need to use a fifteen-watt radio station that is considered a small-power station for long-distance communication.

No one of the two people who barely said that the upper half of the versatile mastery had expected that as for other people who didn't know much about radio stations, especially those who lacked high-quality professional talents, no one expected them. Even if the best radio operators trained by Guo Bingxun's crash course could only be considered half a bottle of water. His own business training still needs to be strengthened, so where can he think of changing the antenna? So after the seized gasoline was consumed, Yang Zhen's biggest headache was that he lost the only way to contact the inner room.

Sasaki Toichi and Ishihara Kanir naturally didn't know about Yang Zhen's distress, and the Kanto Army Headquarters didn't know about Yang Zhen's embarrassment, they cared more about whether the information from the epidemic prevention and water supply department on Yang Zhen's hand would be leaked.

Sasaki, who had figured out the key point, calmed down. Looking at Major General Ishihara Kanir who was looking at him with anticipation, Sasaki smiled and said, "Ishihara Jun, don't worry, go back and tell Commander Ueda that at least the information has not been leaked yet."

"Now the imperial army has captured Wuhan, the most important city in China, except Nanjing. For the Chinese government, which has been demoted to local governments, its small number of modern industrial bases have all fallen into the hands of the Imperial Army."

"The modern industry on hand of the Chinese government, which has moved west to Chongqing, is almost negligible and is far from providing enough weapons and equipment for its large but backward army."

"Although China is rich, it refers to resources. For an agricultural country, China's economic foundation is far from supporting a modern war. Although the war lasted for only a year and a half, the Chinese government, which lost the richest place, can be said to be at its end. If the Chinese government, which has obtained this information and is eager to seek international support, will not make this information public to the world and remain silent as it is now?"

"The leaders of the Chinese who dared to rebel had a clear mind. He knew that these materials were not better than a pile of waste paper before they had communicated with his government. Without contact with the outside world, even if they were released with power, how many people would believe them? Without the support of the government, what's the use of power?

"So, the Kwantung Army does not have to be too nervous about the loss of these information. Even if those Chinese people publish them in a clear telegram, we, one of us, can completely push the blame for the statements that spread rumors to attract international attention. Anyway, the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire are thick-skinned enough to not care about this time."

Speaking of this, Sasaki's face changed and said seriously: "But we can't underestimate the harm these people will bring in the future. Suppressing all the risk factors in the bud is what we should do the most."

"Please go back and tell Commander Ueda to order the entire Soviet border to blockade. As long as these people do not bring these information to the Soviet Union, it will not be a big threat to us at present."

After saying that, Sasaki walked to the large map hanging in the secret room, picked up the baton and pointed at the map, "As for the clearance of these people, I think we need to change the tactics before we figure out their specific hiding place."

"According to Ishihara's narrative, this person is a master of guerrilla warfare and deserves our attention. In the dense forests of North Manchuria, without the guidance of anyone, especially without the cooperation of rebels, we will be very passive when we enter the mountains to clear them up."

"And the scope of its activities is East Manchuria and North Manchuria is vast. If we pull the net to attack, how many troops will it take? If we mobilize too many troops, should other anti-Manchuria and anti-Japanese armed forces be cleared out? The increasingly tense situation in the border between Manchuria and the Soviet Union allows us to mobilize too many troops?"

"There is an ancient Chinese poem that says that wildfires cannot be burned out, and the spring breeze will revive again. If the clearance of other anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese armed forces is relaxed because of this small army, then those will also bring harm to us. After our severe attacks, the anti-Manchu armed forces that have already been vigorously revived soon. When the time comes, the result will be half the result with twice the effort."

"You have to know that the current situation is different from the previous year, or even last year. At least at present, we cannot invest too much force in such a small force. So we must find a way to change passive to active, that is, the initiative in the development of things must be firmly in our hands."
