Chapter 330: Piercing the Sky
The discovery of the Yamada squadron was reported as soon as possible, and the entire Korean army was shaken. The brutal murder of more than a dozen officers has never happened in the history of the Japanese army since its rise. On top of that, there is also a large sa among them, Yamamoto Moriki. The Yamamoto family is a famous family in the Japanese Empire, and Yamamoto Moriki himself is also one of the leaders of the young Zhuang faction officers in the army, and his future in the army is limitless. But such a promising elite officer was brutally murdered on the territory of his own country. This incident has shaken the entire Korean and Japanese political circles, and now it is spreading back to Japan at an even more terrifying speed, and it is believed that its influence will be further expanded.
In the Japanese spirit of bushido, it is not terrible to be killed, because their Amaterasu will guide them, but Amaterasu will not respond to ghosts who have lost their heads, so Japan is not afraid of dying in battle, but afraid of having their heads cut off.
The wooden plaque that Yamada found in front of the Rentou Tower was also sent to the brigade headquarters as soon as possible, and then directly asked to be sent to the division headquarters. There are only two lines of Korean slogans on the wooden plaque:
"Little Japan get out of Korean soil!"
"This is what happened to the invaders!"
This is a slogan commonly used by North Korean resistance groups.
Lieutenant General Jiro Obiwa, head of the 15th Japanese Mission, looked at this wooden plaque stained with the elite blood of the Imperial Japanese Army with a gloomy expression. I wondered what force was doing it. The 15th Mission, one of Japan's two newly established divisions, was sent to Korea to join the Korean Army after its establishment. But because of this wooden card, the entire 15th Division became the laughing stock of the Korean army. This is something that the commander of the Erro Division of the Great Court cannot tolerate.
"North Korean Resistance! How dare these damn trash kill the most elite warriors of our Great Japanese Empire. Absolutely intolerable. Contact the North Korean Army Headquarters and ask for the cooperation of all missions to completely eliminate the resistance groups in North Korea! ”
When Terauchi Masatsuki was the governor of Korea, he turned the entire Korean kingdom into Japan's Korean region with his powerful military power. The Joseon royal family was abolished in its entirety. Now that they have been killed by the Japanese, and the organizations that dare to resist in Korea have also been bloodily suppressed, it can be said that there are very few people in the entire Korean territory who dare to resist openly. But it is not so easy to make a country perish, especially if it is a foreign conquest, and this country and nation always have some hard bones that are not afraid of death. As everyone knows, the Manchu Qing ruled China for hundreds of years, and the Chinese anti-Qing organizations also rebelled for hundreds of years, but the motivation became smaller and smaller, and the influence became smaller and smaller. The same was true of Korea, where the Korean royal family and army were completely wiped out by Japan, but many of the former Joseon ministers chose to continue to resist. In the name of national righteousness, he caused trouble to the Japanese everywhere. Unfortunately, limited by strength, the influence of these rebels is really limited. But even this has left the Japanese forces in Korea struggling to maintain law and order.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, judging from the methods of combat, it is impossible for the Korean Resistance Organization to kill the best elite fighters of our Great Japanese Empire so easily. There must be other hidden secrets in this matter. Your Excellency, the commander of the division, is asked to take a clear look. Major General Lin Xianzhi, chief of staff of the 15th Division, said.
"Chief of Staff, do you think so too? With such a waste as the Korean Resistance Group, even if the strength of the Imperial Japanese Army was ten times larger, it would not have been possible to achieve such a result. I have seen Yamamoto Moriki, he is a very good commander of the Third Division, and he is also a high-achieving student of Lu University, if it is not a very elite unit, it is impossible to easily destroy them. Moreover, judging from the enemy's killing methods, the number of enemies is limited, and it is likely that all of them are sharpshooters, and this kind of sharpshooter is not something that those rabble can cultivate. Moreover, from the time our people found the gunfire to the time they arrived at the scene, it was only an hour at most, and the enemy was able to withdraw cleanly, and ordinary soldiers could not complete the action, and those rabble were even more impossible. And in this area, the only force with this ability has no other forces except the Northeast! "The commander of the Daiwa Erro Division was ordered to join the Korean Army in order to start a war with the Northeast Army, so he has been studying the situation in the Northeast during this time. The more he studied, the more surprised he became, the strength of the Northeast may not be very strong, but their luck is really good. The rise of Northeast China coincided with the emergency moment when the world war had just broken out, and the attention of the world's major countries was focused on the West, ignoring the bitter cold land of Northeast China. In addition, his identity as the son of Feng Delin, the commander of the Northeast, seriously paralyzed the attention of the Japanese, after all, Feng Delin is a well-known pro-Japanese faction in the Northeast. Naturally, his son was treated as a pro-Japanese faction. By the time Feng Yong showed his war fangs, his wings were already full, and Japan had a lot of scruples if he wanted to do it. After all, although little Japan is fanatical, it has no great interests, and they will not bet on national fortunes to fight.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, since you all understand, why do you still do this?"
"Chief of Staff, now that the situation in North Korea is becoming more and more tense, and it can even be said that war has become inevitable, in this case, those damn rats have become too much of an eyesore. Don't underestimate them, after all, they are local forces, and they can never be destroyed under the suppression of our army, which shows their ability to survive and influence. These rebel forces may not do much in normal times, but once they start in the middle of the day, these ground rats will come out and bite us hard. In this case, it would be better for us to completely deal with these ground rats before the war starts. When the time comes, the stability of the rear can also be guaranteed. The head of the Ting Erlang Division said confidently. It seems that he has had this idea for a long time, and the killing of Yamamoto's team is just a good excuse!
"Hai, Your Excellency the Division Commander is thinking about it!"
The next day, Japan's Chosun Ilbo's large-scale propaganda Japanese officer squad was attacked by the Korean resistance group, and the officer was beheaded and died a very miserable death. The North Korean army issued a region-wide wanted warrant to hunt down the culprits who killed the Japanese emperor's officials, and at the same time, the North Korean army was fully dispatched to eliminate the forces in Korea that dared to resist the Japanese Empire.
For a time, everyone in North Korea was in danger. The cruelty of Little Japan has been deeply rooted in the marrow of the Koreans. It was not uncommon for Japan to massacre Koreans in order to establish its rule in Korea. It can be said that it was by virtue of inhumane killing that Japan achieved its current total domination over Korea.
For a new wave of massacres unleashed by the Japanese in Korea. The Northeast is very indifferent, and the life or death of the North Korean resistance groups is not on their minds at all. To tell the truth, those Korean resistance organizations really don't have much effect except for begging for weapons and ammunition, and if they can be used to delay the war between Japan and Northeast China, Feng Yong is still very happy. Anyway, in Feng Yong's heart, Japanese devils and Korean sticks are not good things. Dog-eat-dog is more in the interests of the Northeast.
On the contrary, the Russian Far Eastern Governor's Office, which had always been calm, issued a statement opposing the violent massacres by Japan. Although this statement is not painful, the Japanese cannot ignore it. In their hearts, the Russian polar bear nesting in the north is their biggest enemy, and as for the northeast, after all, the background is shallow, and the deterrent power is still a little smaller. It is important to know that Japan is essentially an island country, and if it wants to influence the Japanese mainland, it must have a strong navy, and in Asia at present, the only countries that can pose a threat to the Japanese navy are the US navy and the newly established Far East Fleet of Tsarist Russia.
Now, of course, the size of the fleet of the Far Eastern Fleet is half that of the Japanese. Originally, Tsarist Russia's grand goal of building the first fleet in Asia could not be realized. Because of the First World War, Russia's national power was almost hollowed out, and how could there be money to build a large-scale navy. If it weren't for the fact that Japan has been desperately developing its navy. Tsarist Russia has long put such a powerful maritime force as the Far Eastern Fleet into the Western theater.
Although Japan and China in Asia had declared war on Germany with the help of the British. It should be an ally of the Russians, but Japan and China had a change of power at the same time, and no one knows whether the treaty signed by the previous government is still valid. Under these circumstances, the pressure on the Russian Siberian Governor's Office instantly increased. He had to guard against the threat of the Japanese to the Russians, but he could not increase the military budget. Because of the poor performance of the Tsarist army on the Western battlefield, the war resources were basically used on the Western theater, and the Governor-General of the Far East, except for the beginning of a little more power, has not received assistance from Moscow for a long time, as if Moscow had forgotten the Far East.
Within North Korea, several of the largest rebel groups issued a joint statement claiming that they were not responsible for the massacre of Japanese officers. It is hoped that the Japanese and Korean armies will be able to see clearly. The North Korean army simply shrugged off the statements of several major rebel groups. Japan quickly dispatched and smashed one stronghold after another of the Korean resistance organizations, and all those who had anything to do with the resistance organizations, whether they were rebels or not, were bloodily slaughtered by the Japanese army. The Japanese high-level can generally guess the truth about the massacre of Yamamoto's team, but the low-level Japanese soldiers do not know, they only know that the generals said that the shame of the Great Japanese Empire was done by these humble Korean sticks, and for the glory of the Great Japanese Empire, the Korean sticks must pay the price of blood.
The army was accompanied by a large number of Japanese ronin in Korea. These Japanese ronins took advantage of the turmoil in Korea to rob, rape, kill, and set fires. It's just nothing wrong. For a time, the whole of Korea was in turmoil.
Northeast. The station of the South-Eastern Military District.
"Poof! These North Korean resistance groups are really naïve! Can't they see that little Japan is trying to use this incident as an excuse to completely wipe out the destabilizing factors in Korea? They are still naïve to want to reason with Little Japan, what a naïve idealist! Lin Hu said with a smile as he took the telegram from the North Korean resistance group.
