Chapter 719: Killing the Prisoner
Tianzhen, located at the junction of three provinces, is known as "the rooster crows and hears the three provinces", and the terrain is complex.
The Japanese army who finally retreated from Datong, endured hunger and went into the mountains, and after being selected, the commander of the Japanese wing knew very well that he would either die at the hands of the Chinese or die in the mountains.
On the first day after entering the mountains, although they were not pursued by the Chinese army, they had run out of food, and had to walk around to listen to the soldiers, and let the soldiers go around looking for something to eat.
Originally, when the Japanese army wing commander wanted to pass through the Chinese villages along the way, they could enter the villages and plunder, and even catch some Chinese civilians and escort them along. However, along the way, they did see many villages, but they couldn't find a single villager in these villages, and the Japanese army didn't get a grain of food, and they wasted time and wasted their efforts, and the little devils at least survived by hunting along the way.
However, so many people marched in the mountains, and the animals in the mountains had long been scared away, and the prey that could be hit was very small, which was a drop in the bucket for a not so large army, and it was not enough for the little devils and those officers to stuff their teeth, and the junior soldiers couldn't even smell the smell.
The Japanese dragged their heavy legs, and almost everything they could throw away on them was thrown away, but when he arrived at the outskirts of Tianzhen, he thought he would be able to find food from Tianzhen, but he didn't expect that it was the Chinese army waiting for them.
The Chinese army did not arrive long before the Japanese army, that is, the front and rear feet, but such a short time decided the fate of both sides. The hungry Japanese troops, urged by their officers, prepared for battle!
But the Japanese army was already dizzy with hunger, their arms holding guns were trembling, and they had no combat effectiveness, and now they just wanted to eat a good meal, even if it was the hard-to-swallow stick noodles eaten by the Chinese people.
The Chinese troops stationed in Tianzhen did not attack the Japanese army, nor did they even shout, but just quietly stood at their posts. And the Japanese army is the fleeing side, at this time than the Chinese army does not want to attack, they really do not have any desire to attack, some little devils will be worried that on the road to charge down is not bullets, but fatigue.
The commander of the Japanese wing was well aware of the current combat effectiveness of his troops, although his soldiers were well aware that they had chosen to serve the emperor when they were left behind, and they were all determined to die.
Having the determination to die and sending him to death are completely different things, the former one sounds very imposing, and sending him to death is completely using his precious life to send experience to the other party.
"We have no choice!" The wing commander was anxious for the officers to hold a combat meeting, but most of the officers had not eaten for two days and two nights, and they were in a hurry to leave, and they were already dizzy, and they could only think of a way to obey orders.
The Japanese army knew very well that they could not delay any longer, and if time dragged on, it would become more and more unfavorable to them, and then the Japanese army might not even be qualified to tremble, and the Chinese army would just need to come up and collect weapons.
The battle orders of the little devils were quickly issued, and it was their honor to be loyal to the emperor and the purpose of their coming to the battlefield.
"Da Da Da"
The gunfire soon rang out in Tianzhen, as the little devils wished, they were really sending them to death, first of all, regardless of the light and heavy machine guns of the Chinese army, even if they were able to rush to the positions of the Chinese army, they did not have any strength to fight with the Chinese army with bayonets, as long as they were slaughtered.
The dizzy-eyed and dizzy Japanese soldiers had gold stars in their eyes at all, no matter how hungry they were, even though there was a sea of swords and fires in front of them, as long as the order was given, they would still have no hesitation, knowing that they would be sent to death, they would not question the orders of their superiors at all.
However, it also requires strength to send them to death, and many Japanese soldiers were not concentrated by bullets at all, and some Japanese soldiers fainted directly because of hunger, when they were halfway through the charge.
The Japanese wing commander looked at the map, he wanted to bypass the Chinese defense line, but he was disappointed, if he took a detour, it would definitely take two more days, and they would only starve to death in the mountains.
Listening to the dense gunfire in front of him, the Japanese wing commander had no time to care about the battle situation, he didn't even dare to look at his troops, for fear that he would not be able to help but surrender when he saw the tragic situation on the battlefield, and the glory of the Imperial Japanese Army did not allow him to give such an order.
However, as a commander, he has many things that he can't help himself, and he must understand the battle situation, which is his responsibility as a commander, and it is also responsible for the troops.
For a military commander, the saddest thing is nothing more than watching his soldiers keep falling, and he has no way to do it, and even all he can do is keep sending his soldiers to death.
It didn't take long for his troops to run out of ammunition, and without ammunition, it was impossible for them to rush to the positions of the Chinese army, while the Chinese soldiers waited for work, they had no food, grass and no ammunition.
The outcome of this battle was already sealed from the beginning, and all the officers of the little devil were waiting for their wing commander to make an idea, and these officers were ready to crush the jade and ready to surrender, and they were just one order away.
Just when the little devil was coming, a soldier bypassed the little devil's camp and entered Tianzhen, and got in touch with the commander of Tianzhen. The regiment commander frowned and listened to the orders from above and down.
"Repeat the order again!" The regimental commander could not believe his ears, or he did not believe that such an order would be given from above.
The soldier who delivered the order repeated the task, then walked up to the regimental commander, attached it to the regimental commander's ear, and whispered a word. The captain's face began to grow happy, but suddenly it became difficult to look at again.
"Hey~ This task is not easy to do!" The regimental commander sighed.
The order was indeed given by Liao Fan not to take prisoners of war, but he was also given a more specific method, which was even more cruel than burying him alive, and the regiment commander was worried that his soldiers would not follow his orders, or more precisely, his soldiers would not be able to do it.
"Commander, I'm still waiting to reply to the order!" The soldier who gave the order knew that this matter was not easy to do, but the above meaning could not be guessed by him as a soldier, but could only be carried out.
The regiment commander paced back and forth in the command headquarters, this matter is really tricky, they hate the little devils to the core, they even want to break all the little devils into pieces, peel their skins, draw their tendons, drink their blood, eat their flesh, and break their bones, but it does not mean that they use cruel means to abuse these little devils to death.
"Damn, Lao Tzu really did it, the soldiers didn't do it, Lao Tzu did it himself!" The regiment commander seemed to have made the greatest determination in his life, "Tell Division Commander Liu and let him send a telegram to the headquarters, as long as the little devil surrenders, I promise to complete the task!" ”
The head of the regiment doesn't know if he will be punished by God for doing such a lack of morality, but the little devil has done enough immoral things, but God has not cleaned him up, if the little devil really surrenders, he will be the master in place of God.
Half a day has passed, there is not the slightest movement on the Japanese position, the little devils don't want to make a scene, they really don't have the physical strength and no energy, lying on the ground can consume less physical strength, they make one less movement, only keep breathing.
Obviously, the Japanese army had lost their combat effectiveness, and as long as the Chinese troops defending Tianzhen attacked them, they would collapse in an instant.
However, the regiment commander was not in a hurry to clean up the little devil, who was already a turtle in the urn: "You take you to dig a big pit in the open space in the north!" There must be at least 2,000 people in the pit! ”
"Commander, what are you digging a hole for?" The company commander didn't understand, now that they rushed forward and ended the battle immediately, why did they have to dig a pit at this time, isn't it redundant?
"If you want to dig it, you will dig it, it's such nonsense there, you have to complete the task before dark!"
Now that he has made up his mind to carry out the order, he has to make preparations, as long as the little devil surrenders, he will drive the little devil into the pit, and then leave another letter for the little devil.
Looking at the soldiers of his own troops, the Japanese wing commander was helpless, the heavens were too unfair to them, and they didn't even have a chance to fight to the death, and everyone was in despair.
"Surrender!" The little devil's wing commander gave the final order sadly, "Chief of Staff, you are responsible for contacting the Chinese army and telling them that as long as our lives are guaranteed, we are willing to lay down our arms and surrender." ”
Under the order of the wing commander, the little devil put down the weapon in his hand and walked into Tianzhen under the supervision of the Chinese soldiers, but after entering Tianzhen, the little devil still did not wait for the food they longed for.
"Eat, eat, eat......"
The little devil immediately became dissatisfied, and the surrender who spoke had food and drink, but why did he refuse to send food for a long time. The Japanese army was dissatisfied and loudly protested to the Chinese soldiers, who held guns but were forced to retreat again and again by unarmed little devils.
"Commander, what should I do?"
"It seems that they are still not hungry, if they are really hungry, they still have the strength to shout for food, and tell the soldiers that if the Japanese army dares to take another step forward, they will shoot directly!" Now that he had made up his mind to bury the little devils alive, he didn't mind killing a few little devils before that.
"The regiment commander ordered, if they take one step further, they will be killed!" Obviously, this is said in Chinese, and the little devil can't understand it at all, and of course this is not to warn the little devil.
After hearing the order, the fighters directly loaded the bullet and put the gun at the little devil, as long as the order was given, they would shoot decisively.
The little devil didn't expect that the Chinese soldiers would really load the bullets, and suddenly panicked and stopped taking a thousand steps.
"They didn't dare to shoot because they were trying to deter us." I don't know from which direction a little devil shouted.
The little devils seem to agree with this sentence, they are already prisoners, the Chinese dare not kill the prisoners, why should they be afraid of this group of weak Chinese.
