Using civilians as shields and shields is really not a moral or action barrier for the Japanese who are already on the verge of despair, just as simple as eating and drinking water. Since becoming a great power, the Japanese have despised human lives, which is even more obvious in the army. Whether it is the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 or the Russo-Japanese War, under an absolute disadvantage, there are countless scenes of counterattacks facing the rain of bullets. The reason why Japan was able to have no advantage in all aspects was that it was the case that human power had the advantage because the Japanese were not afraid of death.

Even regular soldiers are like this, let alone civilians. In Japan, the squeeze of civilians has almost reached the extreme. Before the large-scale improvement of various light industrial machines in the northwest, Japan's quality was not particularly good. The reason why there is a market in this world is that it is cheap. The Japanese are very backward in processing technology, but under crazy crushing, the labor cost is very low.

Japanese cotton cloth is cheap to a certain level, and its production efficiency is also high to a certain extent. The method started from Japan. On average, every Japanese cotton butt can produce half a bag of cotton yarn. This production efficiency has attracted worldwide attention.

Originally, Japan could use this to have a chance to transform from an incomplete agricultural industrial country to a modern country, complete the reform of the industrial system, and transform from a debtor country to a creditor country, and make a series of changes. However, the emergence of the Northwest was like a basin of cold water, poured down from its heating head, using updated equipment, faster production efficiency, and rationally utilized electricity. While Japan was still catching up with the world's advanced level, the Northwest had already begun to create the world's advanced level.

The Northwest machines have taken a new path from the beginning, with higher grade alloys and more complete designs. From the concept of the 21st century, monster-like all-in-one machines, these loading together make the Northwest light industry. From the beginning, they did not pursue human resources, and the efficiency of single-handedness far exceeded the world's advanced level, and they are also the same as Japan. 24 hours a day, but it is much more humanized, divided into three shifts or even four shifts. Under the extreme situation, it even reached a five shift and an 8-hour working system. After working one day, the remaining time can be rested, and night shifts can be rested throughout the day. This working method greatly reduces the degree of fatigue, and the shift system also allows everyone to get reasonable rotation and rest.

Reasonable rest will improve the productivity at work. In this case, the Northwest will far surpass Japan in terms of quality, output, and even the cheapness. In any case, Japan's inability to produce cotton is a fatal injury. The Northwest controls the entire central and western regions. To a certain extent, the cotton production area at high latitudes can supply the needs of the entire China and export it to the world. If the benefits are not determined, there is no need to impact the market at low costs. The Northwest's market share will be higher.

This is the world. It has not developed into a global village in later generations. However, with the gradual development of the shipping industry, it has become particularly close. One by one, one by one, and one by one, and there are so many markets, not to mention the colonies controlled by Britain and France, and the more closed market. The scattered market has occupied almost the same market under the promotion of China's light industrial products and some labor-intensive products, and it has almost no one left to Japan. If it were not for the Allies to win over Japan and give Japan a part of the order, Japan would not be able to support the war against China at all. Even if it supported the war, the support was a minority, and most of it would still be bought with money. Japan was on the basis of the debtor country, and owed more and more debts. This result directly led to the outbreak of another thing.

These are all later stories. Now, the most critical problem is to solve the problem of leaving. Since we have discovered the so-called weakness of the Northwest, these brutal Japanese soldiers naturally came up with a way to maximize the use of civilians and use civilians as shields to help themselves leave.

That's right, it's civilians. When Japan is at a disadvantage, it's impossible to massacre. Maybe it will anger the Northwest, but they can't escape. They can use civilians as shields. The Japanese are good at this. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese used the help of driving civilians to attack the city. Of course, it's good to succeed. If you are not successful, you will massacre each other, which has also reduced your morale to a considerable extent. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Even the top Japanese leaders dare not be careless. Now, the Northwest Army from all directions is about to surround them, and there is not much time and space left for them. After a little discussion, Prince Zairen quickly issued an order, and the Japanese army like a beast began to disperse, and a disaster against civilians began.

The Northwest Army has been monitoring the actions of the Japanese army. It is almost obvious what Japan's major actions are. The movements of a large number of Japanese troops directly alerted the Northwest Army. After all, the Japanese army has a number of 1 million. If all of these people are pressed in any direction and accidentally dealt with them, the losses will be inevitable.

The northwest can fight ten or even more on a solid defense line, but during the march, the advantage of numbers will be fully utilized. Even as strong as Cai E, he led a powerful first army of 300,000 people and encountered a million Japanese in a certain area. Without the geographical advantage and the artillery was not deployed, he was just fighting for the strength of both sides. The defeat must be the side with a small number, and there were too many Japanese people.

The reason why the Japanese keep a distance of about 50 kilometers is also for this. If it is too close, if the Japanese really rushed over, they will definitely have to eat the loss. Even now, when the Japanese move on a large scale, they must adjust according to their actions to prevent the Japanese from doing their best to target one aspect of the encirclement. The 100,000 most elite people in the south and 200,000 people on the west side have also made actions. Even Tianjin, controlled by Beiyang, has firmly stood firm and cleared the fields, ready to guard against the Japanese attack.

However, soon they discovered that Japan's actions were not aimed at one aspect, but were all sent out troops in all directions. The Japanese were not targeting their Northwest Army, but civilians were arresting people in an area of ​​more than 1,000 square kilometers.

After the special forces discovered the movements of the Japanese, they already knew the Japanese mentality. When the news was summarized by Cai E, Cai E almost bit his teeth and was familiar with the Japanese's psychology. He understood very well that the Japanese were clearly unable to see the possibility of escaping, so he actually chose to use the people as shields, hoping to use the people to threaten the northwest and achieve the purpose of escaping.

This place is already close to Tianjin. One is a relatively densely populated place. On the land of more than 1,600 square kilometers, there are as many as 5 county towns. There are only about 780,000 people in each county town, but together, it is almost 400,000. In addition, outside the county town, there are scattered, and the Japanese captured at least 700,000 people.

700,000, when he thought of this, he almost didn't have to look at it. He knew how much sin and blood would be there when he captured so many civilians. However, he had a wrong judgment and did not seize the best opportunity to stop the other party. Now, most of the people were caught. Cai E was dizzy in front of him. He asked himself a Confucian general who had experienced many battles, but he never thought about what he should do when 700,000 innocent lives were right in front of him.

His body shook weakly, and Cai E stabilized a series of orders and issued them. With the help of advanced radio, he notified the units in the northwest of Hebei. He would go to the Japanese at all costs, at least to interfere with their continued arrest.

Even if the Japanese have a million troops, it is not easy to arrest them all. Of course, the Japanese cannot dig three feet into the ground. They just sent a large number of troops into the city and after sealing the city gate, they began to search.

Such searches are brutal and cruel, and also carry various sins, such as robbery, and savages. They may be afraid of being beaten by the Northwest Army. They may be surrounded by the Northwest Army. In order to avoid angering the Northwest Army, which are also Chinese, they will only take action unless they explicitly resist. They rarely use guns. Most of the time, they use butts or sticks, which hurt many people, but fewer fatalities, and savages have almost been reduced to the minimum.

The Japanese army was like locusts, crazily collecting all the people and materials that could be collected around them, but it was very well organized. At least, Zairen stipulated a day. After a day, even if there were any missing or huge benefits, they had to come back. There was no hesitation at all, otherwise military law would be carried out.

The Japanese spread out quickly like octopuses, just like a time difference. After completing the arrest of the personnel, they quickly returned. The final statistics were that Japan arrested more than 637,000 people in one day. Most of these people were taken back to the county town stationed in Japan. The remaining few were also their protection umbrellas, even if there were only a few thousand people.

Facts have proved that the Japanese's approach made the Northwest Army unable to fight at all. After receiving the order from Cai E, the Northwest Army approaching quickly encountered the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the Chinese people. They were afraid of throwing rats and were unable to fight at all. They could only monitor from a distance, watching these Japanese people swaggeringly steer the people to the county where they were stationed. (To be continued.)
