Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

"Mandu (ばんだ)の桜か色の色,

花はYoshino Arashibuki Yamato man (やまとおのこ) と生まれなば,

The flowers of the skirmishing line are scattered,

"Chiyu no gun (つつ) no weapon."

After completing all this, the soldiers of the 13th Regiment who participated in the cleanup mission, led by Yoshi Nishijima, sang military songs and marched in formation under the watchful eyes of countless Chinese people who secretly hated them.

Yamaguchi Shunsuke and a dozen Japanese military police calmed down only at this time. This was in the densely populated Shanghai area, not the mountain village that the front-line troops passed through.

As it was the first time they had done such a thing, they started to get scared and were trembling with fear all the way. At the slightest sign of trouble, they would unconsciously reach for their guns for fear of being attacked by the angry Chinese militants.

Yamaguchi Shunsuke followed Nishijima Yoshi in the Type 95 jeep, listening to the soldiers of the th Regiment singing military songs in the night, and couldn't help but persuade Nishijima Yoshi:

"Your Excellency, singing military songs at night will expose our army's whereabouts, right? After all, this is a densely populated area of the Celestial Empire. What if..."

"Chi~"

At this point, Yamaguchi Shunsuke did not dare to continue speaking, because he found that the atmosphere in the car was a little strange, and even the driver of the jeep could be heard laughing.

Hearing that Yamaguchi Shunsuke was so timid, Colonel Nishijima Yoshi couldn't help but despise those who did not participate in the front-line combat even more. However, thinking that the next cleanup work would still require the intelligence support of the Special High Technology Department, Nishijima Yoshi chuckled and explained:

"You guys! You've been in this gentle land of Shanghai for too long, your bones have become soft, and you've forgotten the essence of conquest."

"Our locust army has only 40 troops in this area. We are completely unable to maintain effective rule over an area occupied by tens of millions of people. Only ruthless killing can deter them the most, make them understand the consequences of opposing us, and finally submit to us."

"The reason why I asked the soldiers to sing military songs while marching is to tell the Chinese people here that this is the result of providing assistance to the Military Control Commission. This was done by our 13th Regiment. We are here! Let's intimidate the people around here!"

After saying this, Nishijima Yoshi called over the squadron leader, Watanabe Junya, who was riding a horse beside him and gave the order:

"Order the soldiers to speak louder!"

Soon, after receiving the order, the soldiers of the 13th Regiment took their singing to another level.

What was unbelievable to Shunsuke Yamaguchi was that even at night he could find that the number of people surrounding the 13th Regiment was definitely higher than the number of soldiers in the 13th Regiment.

But until the 13th Regiment was about to return to the barracks, not a single shot was fired at the soldiers of the 13th Regiment who were singing military songs and marching with torches.

After all, it is the name of a man and the shadow of a tree.

The next day, news spread in Shanghai that the 13th Regiment of the 9th Division and the 35th Regiment of the th Division, two beastly armies that had committed countless murders in Nanjing and were known to everyone in the Celestial Empire, were stationed in Shanghai.

In addition, the 13th Regiment opened its bloody mouth and bit the Military Control Commission's armed forces hard last night on its first night in Shanghai. It also massacred a village closest to the exchange of fire on the pretext of accidental injuries.

This bloody and cruel method instantly calmed down the people of Shanghai, who were originally full of anti-Japanese sentiment because the Japanese troops in Shanghai "retreat" due to short of manpower.

At an execution ground in the suburbs, thousands of Shanghai residents who were forced to come with bayonets by the Japanese army were watching the anti-Japanese elements captured in the 13th Regiment's raid yesterday afternoon.

On the execution platform, Lin Xuan, a traitor wearing a suit and carrying a tortoise box, was holding a large tin loudspeaker and shamelessly looking at the people in the audience with smugness.

These days, traitors like him who work for a living are like rats crossing the street, and everyone is shouting to kill them. Among the few people who surrendered to the Japanese army, only Lin Xuan was smart enough to hide in the concession and survived, while the rest were left dead on the streets.

Now that the locust army has regained control of the situation, Lin Xuan has gone from being a street rat to a superior person.

After he had enjoyed being the center of attention for a while, he raised his big tin speaker and shamelessly shouted to the audience:

"Fellow villagers, don't be afraid. In the past few days, a small number of saboteurs who want to destroy the prosperity of the Asian community have been burning, killing and looting in Shanghai, which has greatly affected the safety and stability of Shanghai."

"But don't be afraid. The Locust Army has helped you catch these bad guys. Today we will execute them here in a public ceremony to rid you of this evil!"

The people from the suburbs of Shanghai who were driven to the stage with bayonets looked at the ferocious-looking Japanese soldiers not far away and dared not say anything. They could only stare at the shameless Lin Xuan.

However, people like Lin Xuan didn't care at all, and the soldiers from the 13th Regiment who accompanied him didn't care even more.

On the stage, Zhao Lao Hu, who disemboweled two Japanese soldiers who broke into a private house that day, and a group of armed members of the Military Control Commission who were captured in the raid yesterday were tied up in a row.

The Japanese officer in charge shouted loudly!

"Prepare!"

Zhao Lao Hu and others, knowing that they could not escape death, shouted:

"Little Japs, I will be a hero again in twenty years!" and other encouraging words.

"Execution!"

"Bang~"

Accompanied by a burst of orderly gunfire, more than 20 volunteers who had just been shouting various slogans had their heads pierced by bullets, and red and white blood were all over the ground.

"Ah~~~~~"

This cruel scene frightened the onlookers from the suburbs of Shanghai so much that they screamed and backed away, with endless fear in their eyes.

The eyes looking at the Japanese soldiers and traitors around him became fearful and docile. Although he would be instinctively afraid when facing the bayonet, there was still unyielding spirit in his eyes.

Shunsuke Yamaguchi, a special agent of the Special High Technology Department who watched the entire execution, noticed the changes in these people, and his doubts about Colonel Yoshi Nishijima's words yesterday immediately dissipated.

This decentralized execution method was continuously carried out in the suburbs of Shanghai where anti-Japanese elements were most active at the suggestion of Lieutenant General Kato of the Military Police Command.

With the various measures taken by the Japanese army, the sounds of gunfire and explosions targeting the Japanese army and traitors that had lasted for three days soon disappeared, and the entire Shanghai area fell into a panic-stricken silence.

There were even rumors that the Japanese 9th and th Divisions were going to launch a massacre in Shanghai. Many wealthy people in the suburbs of Shanghai had already fled to the countryside with their families.

Faced with this situation, the atmosphere in the gendarmerie headquarters was rather lively, with officers of the headquarters surrounding the commander of the 13th Regiment, Colonel Yoshi Nishijima, and flattering him.

"Nishijima-kun is indeed a soldier with great military achievements in the Empire. It took him less than 24 hours to stabilize the riots in Shanghai."

"The 13th Regiment is indeed the most elite force in the empire. Its combat effectiveness is so high!"

"Lieutenant General Kato made a good move. He transferred back the 13th Regiment of the 9th Division and the 35th Regiment of the th Division, which the Chinese feared the most. This allowed us to quell this riot so quickly."
