Chapter 258 Chinese propaganda war
"Despicable! Despicable-"
The howling screams sounded at the Chinese Expeditionary Army headquarters. Anyone who could hear the sound could not help but shrink his neck. Commander Suichi Tanouchi was one of the highest leaders of the Imperial Army. It would be better not to get the anger of a big man of this level. If he got it, it would be a disaster.
However, others could escape from Shouichiko in the temple, while Kenji Doihara could not escape.
"Is there no other way? This is the fourth time this month, the fourth time..." Teraunuchi's round and big head shaking violently, "Dohihara, this is a joke, a joke, a big joke! Do you know?"
"I know." Dohihara did not sit like before. He was standing in front of Soichi Desouchi, his face full of helplessness and depression. The reason why he, the King of Agents of the Great Japanese Empire, is so depressed because of the recent series of embarrassing events that have happened within the Chinese Expeditionary Force, several of which are extremely serious.
For example: Not long ago, two soldiers from Kagoshima rushed into a comfort station in a place in Fujian, killed more than a dozen soldiers and officers, and then burned the comfort station with a torch. According to the subsequent investigation, the two suspected that their relatives and lovers were forcibly incorporated into the comfort station by the military headquarters and became comfort women.
Another half a month ago, a reserve officer named Zhongzuo, who had just been transferred from the local area to China, was found by a sergeant to behead him. The reason... The sergeant suspected that this sergeant had committed adultery with his wife who was left in the local area. According to the subsequent investigation, although this sergeant was frivolous, he was actually a good man, a good husband, and a good father. He had never had an extramarital affair. Moreover, he and the sergeant's family were in the state and the other in the Kyushu. He could not even fight eight poles. In other words, this sergeant had been in trouble for eight lifetimes, but because he wanted to show his heroism and romanticism that women liked in front of his new colleagues, he casually slandered a sergeant who had just come down from the battlefield for no reason. Then, the sergeant who had been dead for a long time heard about this and broke out...
Also, two days ago, a squadron station in the suburbs of Nanchang appeared in the bombing camp. The reason was that before going to bed, the squadron heard some radio broadcasts that the Chinese Air Force was bombing Japanese troops everywhere. It is said that the next target might be various cities in Jiangxi. As a result, when sleeping in the middle of the night, I didn't know who had a nightmare. Suddenly, I shouted... This incident was relatively less harmful, and it only impacted the puppet troops in a battalion next to me. Twenty or thirty were killed. It was a small team leader of this squadron who was hit by a counterattacking puppet army machine gun, and two of them died. At the same time, because of the trouble, I was afraid that the Japanese would find the account, the puppet army battalion commander defected with his subordinates. It is said that he went as a guerrilla team...
These things are not a big deal, at least they will not be so concerned by him and Takashi Nakachi. But these things happen one after another are big problems. And although these things themselves are not big, their subsequent impact is very "powerful": just like the bombing incident, not only seriously damaged the fearless image of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, but also brought a deep psychological barrier to the puppet army that fought in concert. Because, in order to take care of the face of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, the dispatched army did not disclose that these incidents were caused by the Japanese "battle bombing" themselves, but instead falsely accused the "defected" puppet army, saying that it was the Imperial Army that the puppet army took the initiative to attack. However, this could only deceive people who were unaware of the inside story and could not deceive those who were in the knowledge. The problem was that there were more than one puppet army stationed on the periphery of the squadron at that time.
There are also the two incidents of the unlucky Zhongzuo and the comfort station being burned, although they were proved to be a sad misunderstanding afterwards. However, since those two incidents, the communication between the local garrison and the local government has suddenly become much denser... What does this mean? It means that soldiers on the front line began to suspect that there would be problems behind them, it means that the morale of the army is unstable, and it means that the soldiers have begun to have distrust of the government and the military.
If it was just one or two things like this, Tu Feiyuan could still understand it as accidental, but this kind of thing happened one after another, he had to be vigilant. So, after some investigation, he and his men quickly found those very low-level radio stations... not only often show off some ** articles and make "audio novels", but also publish false news on a large scale, creating an uneasy atmosphere among the frontline soldiers. These radio stations were obviously made secretly by the Chinese, but just such an inexplicable means, they already had a large number of listeners among the frontline soldiers.
He once ordered soldiers to be banned from listening to the radio stations, but there was no effect at all. The soldiers should still listen. He also issued a notice telling officers and soldiers at all levels that these radio stations were all false news, and the Chinese were deliberately making trouble for them, but it still had no effect. Because the rumors stopped at the wise. But the Japanese Imperial Army did not produce smart people at all. What's more, leaving the local area alone and coming to China to fight, who doesn't worry about their own family? The so-called local news released by the Chinese, even if the soldiers knew it was fake, they still felt worried... not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of what if! Moreover, there are always some "smart people" in the army, so these people would not believe what their superiors said so much. The superiors said that those radio stations were fake, but they were fake? Perhaps it was because these radio stations exposed some dark side of the local area that they were banned by the government and the top military leaders.
So, those radio stations are still talking nonsense, and the audience is still.
If these radio stations cannot be stopped, the dispatched troops will continue to have problems, just like the incident that made Shinuensui become angry: the 6th Division, which had just withdrawn from Changsha to rest, was inspecting the barracks and found that someone was eavesdropping on the radio from fake Chinese radio stations, and immediately stopped them. The result may be that the method was a bit too tough, annoyed a soldier who was listening to the radio. The two sides went from a quarrel to a fight. In the end, the captain was stabbed through the stomach by a bayonet, and the soldier was shot and killed by the captain.
...
"The Chinese obviously have grasped a key point of our army, that is, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is too stiff and communication is not smooth." Doihara sighed, "So, more than 70% of their recent targeted reports revolved around the rich oppressing the poor, the rich oppressing the good, the left-behind officer oppressing the relatives of front-line soldiers. The government oppressed the people and the nobles oppressed the civilians. Anyway, how can we arouse the interest of our soldiers, how can they make them uncomfortable or even angry? They report on something... After many battles, our soldiers are in a state of extreme excitement. Before we adjust, we are stimulated and will be very likely to hurt people!"
"I don't want to listen to these explanations. I just want to see these events be calmed down immediately and never happen again." Teraunuchi Shou slapped the table and shouted: "The battle between a soldier and a captain may not be a big deal, but it can affect the morale of the entire army! And now we have too many such incidents, so I want you to come up with a solution to this problem immediately!"
"I can figure it out. But we haven't encountered such a situation before. So, I need time." Doihirahara said.
"Time...how long will it take?" Soichi Desouchu asked coldly.
"I don't know." Doihara sighed. "These radio stations created by the Chinese directly aroused the soldiers' longing and concern for the local and hometown. This is the most vulnerable and sensitive place in the hearts of ordinary people. Especially when the soldiers are far away from the local area, they have to face the hostility of the Chinese around them... This emotion is even stronger. If they are forced to erase this layer of emotion, I can guarantee that this will be the beginning of a large-scale mutiny."
"What are you talking nonsense? When did I say I want to force myself?" Teruchi Suo said angrily: "I just asked you to find a way to deal with the enemy, not to let you go to war with those soldiers... If it really doesn't work, why don't you learn to learn Chinese? I also created a few Chinese-speaking radio stations, using the same means as them?"
"There are not many radios in the Chinese team." Doihara's expressionless face, "And China has been in chaos for decades, and most of their soldiers are ordinary people who are used to suffering and oppression. Things that our soldiers cannot bear are just commonplace for them. Most of them join the army not for national justice and national independence, but for a full meal. Under this premise, radio broadcasting can only be regarded as a luxury item and can only be enjoyed by a few officers. It is obvious that this kind of thing has no effect in front of officers of a certain level. They are only facing the most ordinary soldiers."
"Then there is nothing I can do?" Teruchi said gritting his teeth.
"At least not now." Doihara sighed.
"Baga!"
"I still have some things to deal with, go out first."
Doihara did not dare to stay in front of Shiuichi Teraen, not because he had no courage or face. Because Shiuichi Teraen and he knew very well that Chinese radio stations were just beginning to show their power. As time went by, the influence of these radio stations would become greater and greater. Because the longer those Japanese soldiers left home, the more they missed and worried about their hometowns. The content played by these Chinese radio stations was exactly the appetite of those soldiers. Over time, the thoughts they proclaimed would be imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers, and once they found an opportunity, they might explode... But he had no choice in the face of this situation.
"The Chinese are really more and more able to fight wars." Doihara was a little sad. His ability was mainly to deal with Chinese politicians and senior officials, but now the Chinese people did not attack him in this regard, but instead found soldiers with weak discernment... Not only in propaganda, they also became more and more popular on the battlefield. On the one hand, Japan had to deal with China, but on the other hand, it provoked the Soviet Union. Although it seemed that both wars had the upper hand, it was already irreversibly trapped in the quagmire of war. Although the Japanese government was still promoting Japan's strong force, they already felt a huge difficulty.
"I hope everything will develop in a direction that is beneficial to the empire."
...
"Have you found any clues?"
After slowly returning to the office, Doihara had returned to his previous confidence. Looking at Shibayama-Kanishiro standing in front of him, he asked about the tasks he had assigned.
"I'm sorry, General. The enemy is still raging in Shanghai!" Shibayama Kanashiro looked tired, and there were two huge eye bags under his dark circles. If Doihira hadn't been familiar with him, he wouldn't have recognized him at first glance.
"Since they are still killing people in Shanghai, what are you doing when you come back?" Doihara seemed careless, "I remember the task I gave you was to get their heads back."
"I came back this time because I found a news that I don't know if it's true or false." Shibayama Kenshiro said.
"Interesting." Dohihara rolled his eyelids, "If you don't know if it's true or not, come back to me... Can I help you tell me?"
"General, my Takeshima cooperated with Captain Nakajima and discovered a big problem..." Shibayama Kazushiro took a deep breath: "We suspect that Nanzao Yunko seems to be questioning her Japanese identity!"
