Chapter 22 Functions
Okamura Neji immediately issued two orders:
An order was given for the military police brigade to search for the Yingjiang pilot.
Another order is to strictly guard the checkpoints in the security area and not allow any suspicious persons to escape from the security area.
The reason why the military police brigade is asked to carry out the search mission is because the military police brigade is professional in doing this...The Japanese army is actually focused on fighting. They only have experience in strategy and tactics. If they are asked to hunt down the Yingjiang pilots, they can do it.
There is only one thing, and that is the Three Lights.
But security areas are different from quasi-security areas and non-security areas.
The security area is an area that the Japs can completely explore. In this area, the Eighth Route Army and the people are under the "brainwashing education" of the Japs.
To casually implement the Sanguang policy on these people... It's not that Neji Okamura can't do it, but it will have a very bad impact once word gets out, and then everyone will know about it, surrender, and surrender to the Japanese.
Even though he is still being attacked at every turn, what’s the point of surrendering?
This will obviously be detrimental to the Japanese's long-term strategy. This unfavorable situation means that the losses will far exceed even dozens of Yingjiang pilots.
It is different to let the gendarmerie brigade perform this task. They have close ties with the puppet army. They have long been purging dissidents among the Chinese people and hunting down underground parties. There are even many "traitors" serving them among the people. Not only is it more difficult to hunt down
Being powerful can also minimize negative effects.
Strictly guarding checkpoints in the security area and stepping up inspections are another layer of insurance... Once the military police brigade cannot search for anyone, it will be difficult for the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas to transport these hawk pilots out.
Moreover, checkpoint inspection should be said to be a cost-effective but effective method.
The reason is that the target of the investigation is the pilot Yingjiang. He is tall, has a straight nose and looks like a foreigner. It is difficult to get past him no matter what.
These two measures of Okamura Neiji were indeed effective. After giving the order, the place where the Hawk bomber crashed was in a state of turmoil. It could almost be said that the Japanese military police brigade and the puppet troops dug into the ground.
So the bad news came one after another:
"Two pilots were arrested by the Japanese, named Jonah and Alec!"
"A pilot died, his name was Ned!"
"A pilot was arrested..."
…
Sun Erwei frowned and walked around anxiously like an ant on a hot pot while comparing the list.
Although Eagle Sauce had considered such a situation before, it was a little hard to accept when it actually happened.
"Wang!" Sun Erwei walked for a while and then stopped and said to Wang Xuexin: "You think of a way to rescue them!"
Wang Xuexin couldn't do anything about it. After all, this happened in enemy-occupied territory. The Eighth Route Army couldn't use all its forces to attack the city where the Japanese were stationed, right?
Although pilots are indeed valuable to the Eighth Route Army, their value is not great enough to put the entire army at risk.
Wang Xuexin could only console him: "Be patient, Sun Erwei. The reason for the current situation is probably because the pilot was injured, and our military intelligence personnel hid it in a hurry, without time or opportunity to think too much."
, that’s why it was discovered by the enemy!”
Sun Erwei sounded a little confused: "Injured? What does this have to do with hiding?"
"The Japs use the sense of smell of wolf dogs to find people!" Wang Xuexin replied: "They specially train these wolf dogs to find the smell of blood..."
Sun Erwei said "Oh" and understood, and then cursed angrily: "Go to hell!"
This is the method used by the Japanese to find the wounded in the Eighth Route Army... The Eighth Route Army often cannot move the wounded with them when fighting guerrillas, and can only hand the wounded to the common people. In order to find these wounded, the Japanese military police brigade trained wolf dogs on the smell of blood.
, I didn’t expect that it would also play a role in the search for the Eagle Sauce pilot.
Wang Xuexin said: "This is bad news, but it is also good news. Because it means that the other pilots are probably not injured, at least not bleeding. It will not be easy for the Japanese to find them!"
Sun Erwei nodded and replied: "I hope what you said is right!"
Li Yunlong stood aside with a livid face. He took the telegram and said in a muffled voice: "I said Sun Erwei, thirteen of our intelligence officers died because of this, and hundreds of civilians who helped these pilots were implicated.
We were caught by the Japanese, and now we don’t know whether we will live or die! In order to save you guys, we will lose more!"
When Sun Erwei heard this, he felt a little sorry and said: "Captain Li, thank you very much for your efforts. We will make compensation for this in the future!"
Li Yunlong became furious when he heard this: "Compensation? This is hundreds of lives. You tell me to compensate..."
Wang Xuexin pulled Li Yunlong to persuade him to go down.
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin said: "We can't settle this account like this!"
"How can we calculate otherwise?" Li Yunlong replied gruffly: "If we don't save these pilots, will our comrades be sacrificed?"
At this time, Li Yunlong was a little doubtful. He was not sure whether it was worth rescuing these pilots.
Wang Xuexin said: "This is not a matter of whether to save the Yingjiang pilot, but a question of whether we should fight against the Japanese. Should we compromise with the Japanese? Or hand over the Yingjiang pilot to save ourselves?"
When he said this, Li Yunlong was stunned.
In fact, the reason is not complicated. This is not a matter of exchanging more lives for a few pilots. If you look at it that way, it is certainly not worth it.
So many Chinese people were sacrificed just to save the lives of the Yingjiang pilots. One day, the Yingjiang pilots might even walk away.
The problem is that Yingjiang is an ally of China at this time. Not to mention that these Yingjiang pilots may be used by the Eighth Route Army. Even if they are not used by the Eighth Route Army, they will return to Yingjiang in the future and fight against Japanese soldiers. It is foreseeable that they will be able to play a greater role.
effect, so doing so is also beneficial to China.
Although human life cannot be measured by role and benefit.
But this is only suitable for peaceful times.
In times of war, roles and interests are equal to or even more important than human life.
Because, without these effects and benefits, more people would probably be sacrificed.
For example, the T34 tank...
Do you think T34 is more important than human life?
A tank is certainly not as important as a human life.
But without this tank, how many lives would the Eighth Route Army have to use to fill it, how many lives would it have to exchange for, and how many lives would it have to use in exchange for the same victory?
The same principle applies to rescuing the Yingjiang pilot at this time.
