Chapter 608: Dissension

It's actually easy to be separated...... Okinawans originally spoke Ryukyuan, but Japanese was only forced in Okinawa after the Japanese occupation of Okinawa, but the Japanese spoken by Okinawans was also somewhat different from that of the Japanese army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The extremely poor students seized on this characteristic and let the soldiers learn a few words of Ryukyuan and Japanese at the same time, and shouted "accidentally" when they attacked the Japanese army, and the weapons they used were also the 38 big covers distributed by the Japanese army to the people of Okinawa, and sometimes even left a few corpses of the people of Okinawa...... It is easy to find a few corpses of Okinawan civilians on the battlefield, and you can find a few suitable ones by walking around the village.

So as soon as everything was verified, the Japanese army was so angry that they shouted "wah-wh-wah-wah", ......"These natives dare to sneak attack the imperial army!" Is this worth it? And also rebelled with the guns issued to them by the Imperial Army! ”

Without saying a word, the Japanese army went into the people's villages to "suppress bandits".

As we all know, the Japanese army has no weight, especially when they are fighting against the Sino-American coalition and there is no hope of victory, they will release all the pressure on their hearts...... Sooner or later, you're going to die, so why don't you enjoy it for a while before you die?!

As a result, as soon as the "anti-bandit" operation was launched, it was completely out of control......

As soon as the Japanese troops entered the villages, they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, and the Japanese troops in some defense areas were not even attacked at all, but when they saw that other Japanese troops could be so "cool", their hearts were itching, so they fired a few shots in the dark of night to create an "attack" themselves, and used this as an excuse to go to the nearby villages to achieve their desire to "suppress bandits."

Of course, the people of Okinawa were reluctant to do so, especially those young Okinawan people who had been drafted into the naval offensive force...... They are fighting for the Japanese, but the Japanese are burning and looting their relatives, isn't this being sold and counting the money?

As a result, groups of young people in Okinawa rose up to resist, and the direction of the Japanese camp was very chaotic for a while, and there were gunshots and explosions everywhere day and night.

Looking at this situation, Geiger nodded with satisfaction: "Major General, no matter whether your strategic goals can be achieved or not, at least we have gained, and the harvest is not small!" ”

"General, this is not enough!"

"Of course!" Geiger thought for a moment and asked, "Major General, should we ...... What about attacking while the Japanese were in internal chaos? You know, Turner's side is already waiting impatiently, and he spends his days complaining about the casualties inflicted on the Navy by suicide attack planes and attack ships! ”

"No, General!" Zhang Chi replied: "Now is not the time to attack!" ”

"Why?" Geiger was a little confused.

"There's a saying, 'Brothers play on the wall and stay outside'!" Zhang Chi explained: "Although there is a contradiction between the Japanese and the people of Okinawa, this contradiction has just intensified. On the other hand, they are still a race that is relatively close to each other and knows each other better, and it is easier for them to communicate and reconcile with each other, and if we attack at this time, it will be easy for them to stand together again for the purpose of resisting us! ”

Geiger nodded: "You're right, Major General! We should have more patience, now is the time to wait for the fish to take the bait! ”

After a pause, Geiger smiled bitterly and said, "God, I'm getting less and less confident in me!" ”

"What?" Zhang Chi didn't understand Geiger's words.

"I'm talking about what I said before!" Geiger explained: "Now, even I believe that the Japanese are likely to attack!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile at Geiger.

Geiger was right, at this time, even with Ushijima's calm ** cunning, he couldn't help but be a little confused...... He knew very well that these civil unrest were caused by the Chinese troops, as evidenced by the fact that the Chinese troops successfully attacked three ammunition depots disguised as Japanese troops.

But Ushijima didn't know how to solve this problem.

Strict control of the Japanese army must not "suppress bandits"?

This is obviously not possible, because there are indeed enemies hidden among the people of Okinawa, and not "suppressing bandits" almost means allowing the Chinese army to do whatever it wants in the Japanese-controlled areas.

But continue to let the Japanese army "suppress bandits"?

This is even more difficult, the Japanese army's "suppression of bandits" is more appropriate than "suppressing bandits" as slaughtering villages.

"These bastards!" Ushijima slammed his fist on the table.

Ushijima knew what he wanted, that is, to let the Japanese army contain the heart of evil, and really "suppress bandits".

But it's almost impossible to do that.

On the one hand, this is because it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake "bandits...... Who has intelligence for the enemy? Who is under the influence of enemy propaganda and attempts to rebel? These are not visible on the surface, so the Japanese army said that whoever collaborates with the enemy will cooperate with the enemy, so they cannot control the troops to find an excuse to do mischief.

On the other hand, the Japanese army had poor discipline in this regard, or it could be said that the officers connived at it...... In fact, Ushijima was one of the commanders who ordered the Nanjing Massacre, and the Japanese commanders believed that this would reduce the pressure on their troops and at the same time be a reward for them, and would boost the morale of the troops.

But there are often two sides to the story.

To a certain extent, this will indeed boost the morale of the troops, for example, when the Japanese army is attacking the city, they will scramble because they think that they can enter the city to burn, kill and loot, and for example, the Japanese army is also brutal on the battlefield because of the murderous people...... This is also the intention of the Japanese army to let recruits kill people and train their courage.

However, when such a situation arises, that is, when the Japanese army needs the support of the Okinawan people and the common hatred of the Okinawan people, it is easy to be divided and divided, and after being divided, it will be out of control.

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in Okinawa!" Ushijima scolded: "Without them as a foundation, and even turning the people of Okinawa into our enemies, how can our tens of thousands of troops be able to withstand the enemy's attack!" What a complete fool! ”

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Staff Officer Chang Yong took the opportunity to interject at this time: "It's not okay to go on like this, I think...... It's time for a counteroffensive! Only a counteroffensive will make it possible to change the status quo! ”

"Why do you think that?" Ushijima asked.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Staff Officer Nagayu replied: "We are now under external pressure, and we have always been on the defensive, so that a considerable part of the Okinawans believe that we are doomed, so they will take an attitude of opposition or suspicion. If...... We launched a counteroffensive and won a few battles, so that the natives of Okinawa would understand that Okinawa was still Japanese, so that they could calm down! ”

Ushijima nodded slightly, one of the ways to solve internal contradictions is to shift the focus to the outside, which is not a solution!
