Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Whenever soldiers stopped in fear, they were met with merciless bullets.

At the end of the day, more than a hundred bodies were lying in a mess under the guns of the gendarmerie, and the blood dyed the ground beneath their feet red.

The military police who pulled the trigger had no expression on their faces, as if they were carrying out a very ordinary task. Their eyes were empty and they had long lost the warmth of humanity.

The soldiers of the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade were filled with rage. They watched their comrades, who they had been with day and night, being killed by their own people, but they could only swallow their anger.

At the machine gun position, the black muzzle was facing them, and in front of the mortar position, the gunners were watching them hungrily.

Under this naked intimidation, the soldiers could only grit their teeth and continue to charge.

"Brigade Commander! Look at these military police!" Several officers rushed into the command center and cried to Suzuki Shigeyasu.

Suzuki Shigeyasu slammed the table, a ferocious expression on his face. "Shut up! Supervising the battle is the duty of the military police! Those deserters deserve to be put to death! If you dare to complain again, you will be subject to military court!"

He knew in his heart that clinging to Zhou Zhengqing's thigh was the shortcut to promotion, and the lives of his soldiers were nothing more than chips in the game of power.

As time went on, the supervision of the battle by the Taniguchi Brigade became more and more brutal.

The retreating soldiers were not only verbally abused but also beaten and kicked.

Gradually, the eyes of some soldiers became numb, and they began to doubt themselves, thinking that they could not even break through the defense line of the Chinese army, and they deserved to be taught a lesson by the military police.

They didn't know that this seemingly fierce attack was just a test carefully planned by the Japanese high-ranking officials, and they were just pawns on the chessboard.

On the smoke-filled battlefield, Taniguchi Mayu's eyes scanned every military policeman like an eagle.

He was looking for those "elites" who killed without blinking an eye and had no mercy.

He had only contempt in his eyes for those military police who hesitated and looked reluctant.

In his opinion, these people are destined to become cannon fodder on the battlefield, paving the way for the real "strong ones".

As the sun sets, the Nankou battlefield is dyed blood red.

The sound of gunfire continued, the muzzles of the military police's guns remained cold. In this brutal war, humanity had long been trampled to pieces, leaving only endless slaughter and despair.

As for why Zhou Zhengqing asked Taniguchi Mayu to go to the front line to supervise the battle in person, the reason was very simple: to train the troops.

It's just training, so that the military police can learn how to supervise battles and shoot deserters.

There will be many battlefields in the future, and the military police must learn how to shoot at their own people without blinking.

Even though the military police showed no mercy when killing their own people before, they were led by their superiors and acted together as a group.

Driven by the herd mentality, everyone is of course willing to do it.

Going to the battlefield to supervise the battle is a test of the military police's personal psychological endurance.

Zhou Zhengqing's task for Taniguchi Mayu was to find out those "elite" talents who kill without blinking an eye and don't care whether they are their own people or not during the process of supervising the battle.

As for those gendarmes who hesitated, were indecisive, and even dared not to shoot?

Their future is doomed - they can only become consumables on the battlefield and cannon fodder forever.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

After the fall of Peiping and Tianjin, the Nanjing government issued a national mobilization order, dividing the country into five war zones.

In the study of the Nanjing Commander-in-Chief's Headquarters, the red and blue arrows on the military map confronted each other fiercely. The division of the five major war zones outlined the last strategic defense line of China.

The First War Zone covered Hebei and northern Shandong, where the most elite Central Army troops were assembled, shouldering the heavy responsibility of retaking Tianjin and Beijing.

The Fifth War Zone controlled the area north of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu and southern Shandong, like an iron gate in the Jianghuai Plain, always on guard against the Japanese army moving south along the Jinpu Line.

The Second War Zone was centered around Yan Xishan's Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which controlled Shanxi, Chahar, and Suiyuan, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese army from the flank.

Feng Yuxiang was stationed in the Third War Zone in Jiangsu south of the Yangtze River and Zhejiang, building a solid defense line in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

He Yingqin was in charge of Fujian and Guangdong in the Fourth War Zone, guarding the peace of the southern coast.

At this time, the North China Plain was shrouded in war clouds.

On the Nanjing government's military deployment map, the plan for counterattacking Peiping and Tianjin has taken shape. The elite troops of the Central Army are quietly gathering in North China, like dormant tigers, ready to pounce on the invaders at the command of a single order.

However, the tentacles of the Japanese military intelligence department had already penetrated deep into the Chinese army. When the Japanese military learned of the signs of Chinese troop movements, a carefully planned strategic adjustment was quickly launched.

On the banks of the Yongding River, the flag of the 20th Division fluttered in the wind. This elite Japanese unit had breached the Yongding River's natural barrier and established a solid defense along its western bank. Looking out at the vast expanse of the North China Plain, a sinister grin crossed Daihui Naoki's lips.

Without this natural barrier, the Chinese army will no longer have any defenses.

At the same time, the garrison troops were entrenched in Fengtai and Nanyuan like poisonous snakes, firmly controlling the vital choke points in southern Peiping.

The 11th Independent Mixed Brigade entered Xiyuan, bringing the western suburbs of Peking within artillery range.

The 5th Division, the 6th Division, and the 11th Division were deployed along the line of Beijing, Langfang, and Tianjin, like a chain, firmly locking the lifeline of transportation in North China.

Even more frightening was the continuous flow of the Japanese army's most elite artillery and armored units to the front lines. The massive barrels of the Field Artillery Brigade pointed skyward, the heavy guns of the Independent Siege Artillery Battalion were ready to fire, and mortar positions were dotted across the battlefield.

The iron barrage composed of more than 200 artillery pieces is enough to blow any line of defense into pieces.

The 183 tanks formed a steel torrent, like a dormant giant, ready to tear through the Chinese army's defenses at any time. Elite units such as the th Independent Heavy Machine Gun Battalion further enhanced the Japanese army's frontline combat effectiveness.

Just as the Nanjing government was busy preparing for a counterattack in North China, a top-secret intelligence report was like a heavy hammer, breaking the original strategic deployment.

That was top secret information from the Military Control Commission!

The Japanese army was about to attack Shanghai! This intelligence, passed on by Zhou Zhengqing, kept the lights on in the Nanjing headquarters all night long.

The Nanjing high-level officials once hoped to strike first and planned to concentrate their superior forces to wipe out the Japanese Marines entrenched in Hongkou in one fell swoop, thereby undermining the morale of the Japanese army. They also hoped to use this as an opportunity to urge Western powers such as Britain and the United States to intervene and mediate.

However, the cruelty of war far exceeded everyone's imagination.

The sound of gunfire in the Battle of Shanghai was like opening Pandora's box.

Both China and Japan continued to increase their troops, and the originally planned small-scale conflict quickly turned into a brutal battle involving millions of troops.

Along the Huangpu River, smoke obscured the sky and corpses were scattered everywhere.

Not only did this battle fail to achieve the intended goal, the carefully planned counterattack plan in North China was also forced to be shelved. Instead, it put the Chinese army into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, completely changing the strategic pattern of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
