On 11 October, all newspapers, magazines, and media in the territory controlled by the Inner Mongolia Military Region, including the entire Pingjin region, were compulsorily required to publish a set of photographs and corresponding articles issued by the Inner Mongolia Military Region Command, entitled "Blood Debts Must Be Repaid with Blood -- Remembering the Destruction of the 62nd Infantry Division of the Japanese Army." This article was written by Han Yunhua, commander of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, himself. Otherwise, the newspaper will be immediately seized.

The beginning of the article is not text, but as many as more than 40 real photos, the first 20 are part of the photos of the tragedy in Northwest Lu caused by the Japanese army, because Han Yunhua wants to deliberately stimulate and remind the people's nerves and anti-Japanese sentiments, so these photos are extremely tragic, and there is no mosaic, many people do not have the courage to take a second look after seeing the photos. The last twenty photos are different, these twenty photos are photos of the Japanese army killed after being defeated, there are not only battlefield photos of those who were killed on the battlefield, but also prisoners of war who were executed en masse, of course, prisoners of war will not be deliberately reminded, after all, it is inhumane to massacre prisoners of war without asking for instructions, and it is also a violation of discipline, so the background behind is a field hospital of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which means that these are the wounded who have not had time or have not been successfully treated by the Inner Mongolia Military Region, However, as long as you are discerning, you will be able to see that these devils have just been executed, after all, a Japanese soldier with his head cut off will not appear in the field hospital, because there is no such wounded at all.

After 40 photos, Han Yunhua's article is written, the article is very sharp, but the text is really simple, there is neither gorgeous rhetoric, nor a moving sense of rhythm, and some are just naked threats and cold murderous spirit. At the beginning of this article, Han Yunhua released all the data and history of the tragic tragedy caused by the 62nd Division of the Japanese Army in northwest Shandong two days ago, and also exposed the conspiracy of the Japanese army to conduct large-scale chemical weapons tests in North China, and there were a large number of photos of the Japanese army's biological and chemical weapons as evidence. Including more than 200 special gas shells. The data published in the newspaper by Han Yunhua's department is very detailed, which unit was stationed in that place, when and when that tragedy was created, and how many Chinese died. There is no room for the Japanese to play tricks. In addition, Han Yunhua also officially told the Japanese invaders that the blood debt must be repaid in blood, and even officially proposed the name of General Okamura Ninji, commander of the North China Front. He was officially informed that the Inner Mongolia Military Region would no longer accept prisoners of any field unit of the North China Front Army in the future, and that the Japanese infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineering, communications, and medical units, regardless of gender, would be annihilated as a field unit of the Japanese army as soon as they appeared on the battlefield. No mercy.

At the same time, in this article, Han Yunhua also reiterated the prisoner policy of the Eighth Route Army and the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the policy is that there is no change, and it is still preferential treatment for prisoners, but the scope of application has changed slightly. Han Yunhua explained that the above prisoner policy applies to any armed forces under the leadership of **, including the Inner Mongolia Military Region. But the Inner Mongolia Military District accepted only real soldiers of the real army of the Japanese army.

This sentence is worth scrutinizing. In Han Yunhua's words, the real troops refer to the units that have a clear record and official number in the Japanese military headquarters and base camps, and do not include the mixed units formed in Taiwan and North Korea composed of non-Japanese nationals. A real soldier refers to a soldier who only obeys the command of his superiors in the war against China, and never slaughters the Chinese people or lays down his arms for no reason. In addition, all captives will be punished on the spot. Han Yunhua also announced to the outside world that the Inner Mongolia Military Region had formed an anti-war organization composed entirely of Japanese prisoners of war to help the troops screen out Japanese soldiers who had committed heinous crimes in China. …,

The most important thing is the end of this article, at the end of the article, Han Yunhua also boldly predicted that in the near future, at most half a year, the Pacific theater will usher in a great strategic turning point, and then the Japanese army will fall into a state of dilemma in all battlefields. Following this strategic turning point, the great Soviet Red Army and the Allied forces in Europe will also usher in a strategic turning point in the European theater. At this point, the anti-fascist war in the world will enter a new era. At this point, the German-Italian-Japanese Entente would quickly collapse, and it was only a matter of time before the Japanese army was defeated and retreated. The Allied landing on Japanese soil was just around the corner. At the same time, Han Yunhua also officially reminded the Japanese army or all the top Japanese officials that what Japan is doing in China will one day be repeated in the entire Japanese mainland, including Tokyo.

This report took five big newspapers. Almost half of the newspapers used the article and the photo as the only content that day, and everything else was moved to the afternoon edition or the next day's newspaper.

This newspaper was quickly distributed to all parts of the country, and all the intelligence agencies set up in Beiping by the Japanese, the Nationalist Government, other countries and various marginal forces also transmitted all the contents of this newspaper back to their respective higher departments at the first time.

For a time, the people of the whole country were in an uproar, and after seeing the atrocities of the Japanese, some were filled with grief, some were filled with righteous indignation and rage, and of course some people were inexplicably happy to see the tragic situation of a large number of Japanese soldiers being killed, and even popular demonstrations broke out in Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming, Guiyang, and other places, demanding that the Nationalist Government quickly send troops to seek an explanation for the people in northwestern Shandong.

Of course, a few families are happy and a few are worried, and now people are not only worried about the Japanese army, after reading this newspaper, whether it is Chiang Kai-shek or Okamura Ningci or the ** in the Yan'an cave, they are all helpless. Compared with the helplessness of the child who is too naughty, the helplessness of Okamura Ningji and Chairman Jiang is really helpless to get home.

It was originally a good thing to completely annihilate an infantry division of the Japanese army, but it depended on where it was placed, and if it was left in any unit of the Nationalist Government, it would be a great victory, and Chiang Kai-shek had to let his subordinates do a good job of propaganda and propaganda to make some more political capital for himself. But the bad thing about this thing is that the battle was fought by the troops led by **, and it was also fought by Han Yunhua, who had a headache. Is there still less of a war that he Han Yunhua has fought, a lot, but too many, and now there are still a number of people in the Ministry of Military Affairs who have not been passed on. Now that they have completely annihilated a complete infantry division of the Japanese army, how can Chairman Chiang, who commands millions of troops, feel embarrassed.

Chiang Kai-shek was not happy. But even if he is unhappy in his heart, he has to put on a happy face like he has just married a new daughter-in-law, no matter how hard this play is, Jiang Jiang has to continue to act. No matter how bitter this wine was, he had to swallow it. But Okamura Ningji is different, an entire infantry division was eaten by Han Yunhua's subordinates in this way, he was unwilling, plus those more than 20 photos completely stimulated him, in his opinion, this is Han Yunhua is provoking him and the North China Front led by him.

What kind of person is Okamura Ninji? After reading this newspaper, the first thing he thought of was revenge, because this group of photos was taken by Han Yunhua for what purpose, but there were mostly bloody revenge elements in it, especially the photo of a large number of headless corpses being thrown into the wilderness. As everyone knows. The soldiers of the Japanese army are all religious, and in their consciousness it is not terrible to die, but it is terrible that they are not allowed to have a whole body after death, especially moving their heads is a big taboo. In any case, it is unacceptable to them, and the blow to morale of this newspaper is quite large. …,

However, as soon as General Okamura Ninji wanted to make a move, he received a reply from the base camp as soon as he sent the telegram to the base camp, and the content of the reply was very long, but the core content was very short and short, and the summary was that the Japanese Empire was going to launch another large-scale attack on the United States and Britain at sea and in the entire Southeast Asian region, in an attempt to solve the US maritime threat in one fell swoop. Therefore, the base camp demanded that the North China Front suspend the large-scale war with Han Yunhua's department, otherwise once the war enters the most tense moment, the sea transportation of the Japanese mainland may not be able to keep up with the progress and attrition of the battle. In addition, once the war is in a stalemate. Whether it is the North China Front supporting Southeast Asia, or the Southern Front in Southeast Asia reinforcing the North China Front, it will become a luxury. This will pose a sufficient threat to the strategic concept of the base camp, so even if the North China Front suffers a loss, it must now knock out its teeth and swallow it itself.

In fact, the Japanese government and the base camp have long wanted to solve the threat of Han Yunhua's department in one fell swoop. For this reason, some people even began to propose that the Kwantung Army temporarily relax its surveillance of the Soviet Red Army, and let the Kwantung Army fully cooperate with the North China Front Army to flank Han Yunhua's headquarters in the hope of achieving a major victory.

Three months ago, however, US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Dolittle led the crews of a group of B-25 bombers with the cooperation of the Navy's aircraft carrier Hornet, which successfully bombed Tokyo.

The material damage caused to Japan by this air raid was insignificant, but it greatly shocked the Japanese government and opposition psychologically. The Doolittle air raid is known as America's first victory in World War II. In fact, the losses of the Japanese side were: 50 people killed, 252 wounded, 90 buildings destroyed, Japanese diesel engine manufacturing enterprises, the Yokohama manufacturing warehouse of the Japan Steel Corporation, the Nagoya aircraft factory, 1 munitions depot, 1 naval chemical plant, an airfield, 1 temporary ammunition depot, 9 power buildings, 6 fuel depots, 1 garment factory, 1 food storage warehouse, 1 fuel company, 6 wards of the Nagoya 2nd Provisional Force Hospital, Six elementary or secondary schools and numerous non-military residences were materially damaged by Japan of only $3.2 million.

Although the damage caused was minimal, it stimulated Japanese nerves. Japan believed that these planes came from Midway, and therefore prepared to engage the United States in the Pacific theater for another larger battle for the island, and the focus of this battle was the battle for Midway.

Obviously, Okamura Ninji's plan is in conflict with the strategic plan of the base camp, so the result of the matter is tragic, and the arm will never be able to twist the thigh. Under the strict orders of the base camp, Okamura Ninji had to respond to Han Yunhua's article in the newspaper in humiliation.

On October 12, Okamura Ninji officially responded to the massacre of civilians by the Japanese army in a newspaper controlled by the Japanese army, first of all, Okamura Ninji said that this was not an order from the base camp or the front army headquarters, and that the massacre of civilians was an order from the division headquarters of the 62nd Division, and first slice the responsibility of the North China Front Command and the entire Japanese army stationed in China and even the Japanese army base camp, and put all the responsibility on the 62nd Division. Secondly, Okamura Ninji called it a disgrace to the Japanese Empire, and that the massacre of civilians was an inhumane act, which was spurned by the Imperial Japanese Army, and even pretended to issue the latest resolution of the North China Front Command, ordering the troops in the defense areas of the North China Front to strictly prohibit shooting at unarmed Chinese civilians. If such a matter is discovered, those responsible will be directly repatriated to their home countries for trial by a military court.

In addition, Okamura Ninji lodged a strong protest against the last 20 photos published in the newspaper by the Inner Mongolia Military Region, accusing Han Yunhua's subordinates of wantonly massacring prisoners of war who had laid down their arms in disregard of international conventions, which was also an inhumane practice.

This report shocked everyone. You must know that since Japan launched a full-scale invasion of China in 1937, there have been countless tragedies of all kinds. Many are like sand in the desert, the big ones are the Nanjing Massacre, and the small ones are innumerable, especially since the beginning of the 38 years, the Japanese army has consolidated the law and order in the occupied areas. It is also a frenzied sweep of the occupied areas in North China and Central China, and the losses of the first people in each sweep cannot be counted at all, breaking into the door and entering with guns, and the evil deeds of murder and rape cannot be finished even if they are booked. …,

After the Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese army was forced to respond a little by removing several officers from their posts under the pressure of international public opinion. The base camp also issued several warrants of reprimand, in addition to actively denying this matter. In addition, neither the government nor the army of the Japanese army has made a similar response, let alone used language such as "protest" and "formal warning". Okamura's clear response has actually shown that Han Yunhua's department has achieved a major victory at the political level in the field of public opinion. This is more rare and precious than fighting a big battle.

Han Yunhua in the former enemy headquarters in Hengshui looked at the 1:50000 military map spread on the table with squinted eyes, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Report!"

"Come in"

"Report to the commander, an emergency call from the front!"

"Bring it" took the telegram, Han Yunhua sat up straight, and looked at it carefully.

Halfway, Han Yunhua opened his mouth and asked, "Is the information accurate and reliable?" ”

The telegraph operator said: "Report to the commander, I am the telegraph operator of our military sub-district who is specially responsible for sending and receiving secret telegrams, and I am in direct contact with the intelligence group of the military sub-district, and all the information they send is almost incorrect. Therefore, this information should be correct in theory. ”

"Well, that's good. Bring Commander Yang for me. Han Yunhua said.

"Okay, I'll go." After saying that, the operator walked out.

After the operator left. Han Yunhua fell into deep thought, he had just received the latest information from the front line, the Japanese First Army almost took the initiative to abandon the peripheral positions of Dezhou, and all the troops retreated into Dezhou City, and also set up some artillery directly to the head of Dezhou City, putting on a dead defense.

"Report" Just when Han Yunhua was pondering what kind of medicine the Japanese army was selling in the gourd, Yang Chengwu's steady voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in, hehehe, you kid is still playing this game, hurry up and sit down, how is the progress of the troops?" Han Yunhua asked with a smile.

"It's okay, the battlefield over there in Xiaopingba has been cleaned up, and the results of the battle have been counted, a lieutenant general, a major general, two big generals and more than a dozen adjutants, this net has caught a lot of big fish. The troops have opened the passage to Texas, and the little devil somehow gave up all the peripheral positions, and our army marched very smoothly, but because the enemy situation is unknown, and I can't understand what the little devil is preparing to do, I don't dare to let the troops go how fast, and they may be able to reach the city of Texas this afternoon. Yang Chengwu said.

"Well, you're doing it right, the little devil's schematic diagram is unclear this time, it is said that although a three-unit infantry division is important, the loss will not hurt the Japanese army, what does this little devil want to do." Han Yunhua said.

"Not only that, but just now I sent a telegram to the troops in the direction of the village and Feixiang, and they said that the Japanese troops in those two directions have also completely reduced their forces, and their intentions are also very unclear."

"What, do you mean to say that the Japanese army is on the defensive in the whole county?" Han Yunhua asked in surprise.

"Yes, I didn't believe it originally, but the information of various intelligence officers on the front line has also been transmitted back through secret channels, and it can already be determined that the little devil is really shrinking, but I don't know what their idea is, we better be careful." Yang Chengwu said.

"I can see a little bit of eyebrows, the little devil Eighth Layer is preparing to do a big thing somewhere, so he doesn't want to have a large-scale battle with our army in North China, even if he suffers a little loss, they will admit it, but where are they going to attack?" Han Yunhua seemed to be talking to Yang Chengwu as well as himself
