Chapter 1173: Selection

Whether or not to make this decision made Hu Guoshan a little irritable, he is not an indecisive person, and he also knows very well what is a powerful relationship in this!

But when Hu Guoshan thought that he was going to personally send these 200 people to the dead end, even the commander who had seen the corpse mountain and the sea of blood felt a little more unbearable!

"Lao Zhao, if you send them over, will they hate me?"

Hu Guoshan had never thought about such a problem in the past, at that time, the large army acted together, the soldiers fought together for the country, there was nothing special, if everyone died on the battlefield, everyone died together, and the dead body could still be transported back.

However, this time is different, if they are found by the little devils, after they die, they have no value and what they are about to do, and even their bodies are abandoned in the wilderness, burned in boilers, and even thrown into septic tanks!

If he is captured alive, with the Japanese army's treatment of prisoners of war, the soldier is worse than dead!

"The heroic sword is unsheathed, and it is invariant to fight for the country!"

Of course, Zhao Caizhu understands that this is cruelty to the commander and to the soldiers, but this is the best choice for millions of soldiers, and even for the people who support them!

"I'll pick someone, you write a briefing, send the briefing to Brother Fan!"

Since you are fighting for your country, you must also die as you deserve! Hu Guoshan had to explain to the soldiers who went there what they were facing.

As for the soldiers who know Japanese, there are not a few in the army, when he was in Taihang Mountain, there was Shao Guangqi, although he held the position of clerk in the command, but Liao Fan once asked him to teach many soldiers Japanese, especially the soldiers of the special forces Everyone can speak Japanese.

So it's not hard to find 200 people who understand Japanese from an army of more than a million!

"I've explained the task to you, if you choose to go or not, I won't punish you! This operation is completely voluntary! In the same way, I, Hu Guoshan, also assure you that if you can't come back, your parents will be my Hu Guoshan's parents, and your children will be my Hu Guoshan's children! ”

The adjutant brought in more than 500 soldiers to Hu Guoshan, all of whom were proficient in Japanese and were so familiar with some Japanese customs that even the locals could not hear their accents in Japanese.

At least in terms of language, to be able to guarantee their absolute safety! Looking at these young soldiers, Hu Guoshan had a trace of unbearability in his eyes, in the future in the army, these soldiers are definitely the backbone.

But now they have to take a special path on the occasion of national victory, and this path is likely to make it impossible for them to see their relatives or even find their corpses.

The hall of five hundred people was very quiet, and they were all listening to Hu Guoshan's speech! Lao Hu didn't force them to go, he let them choose for themselves!

"A lot of people think that we have finally come to this point and can finally enjoy the fruits of victory! But I can tell you that if no one takes this road, we will have tens of thousands of officers and soldiers sacrificed, and they also want to enjoy the joy of victory, but as soldiers, it is not difficult to be born in troubled times, but they have chosen to fight for the country, and they must not hesitate! ”

Live well, no one wants to die! But there is no more important thing to live, something more meaningful, there is! This is the duty of a military man.

Of course, not all people are saints, and they are all ordinary people, and they are afraid of death when they are human!

But among these soldiers, some people still slowly raised their hands, like Hu Guoshan, to say that they were going to carry out this dangerous mission.

"If you are willing, come to me and write a suicide note, Adjutant Tang, and send all their materials to my desk!"

It is a duty for a soldier to perform a mission, and a suicide note is a duty to the family, although some of them are reluctant to write it! Hu Guoshan still asked them to write a sentence or two and send it to their parents, at least their parents understand that their children are doing a great job for the country.

However, out of the 500 people, only about 70 people raised their hands and were willing to participate in this operation, which was still far from the 200 people demanded by Commander-in-Chief Zhu.

"These people are going voluntarily, far from the number of people we want to choose, since you are soldiers, you should understand that your life already belongs to the country, since you don't want to go, I will give everyone an equal chance, draw lots! Draw a hundred soldiers from your remaining personnel! ”

Hu Guoshan's action is to tell everyone that this is the army, and there is no freedom in the army, only obedience! Hu Guoshan gave them a choice and respected their choice! But now he has the duty of a commander to fulfill.

The soldiers began to draw lots, some with serious faces, some with joy, some with tears in the corners of their eyes, and some praying......

Hu Guoshan didn't look at the expressions on the faces of the fighters, but turned his back to them, just waiting for the adjutant to announce the results!

More than 400 people drew lots, and the queue ended quickly! Hu Guoshan did not put 130 people in the lot, he only put in the lot of 90 people, and when the time came, he only needed to tell Commander-in-Chief Zhu that only so many people were willing to participate.

The chosen ones remained on the scene, their faces full of seriousness, but they no longer had any luck on their minds.

"Everyone must write a suicide note, and Adjutant Tang will keep it for you! And your information will also be picked out, if you come back, these materials will also be sent back to your original troops, if you don't come back, these materials will be kept by Hu Guoshan until your immediate family members are no longer in this world! ”

Hu Guoshan can assure them that if they die, their families will be protected and will not be bullied by anyone.

Of course, it was not Hu Guoshan who chose them, but the country needed them, and their efforts and sacrifices could make tens of thousands of soldiers live better in this world.

War is inherently cruel! From the flames of war to this day, no one understands the cruelty of war better than soldiers! Although they were the chosen ones, he had no complaints in his heart.

"After Adjutant Tang has done all his work, take them to see Commander-in-Chief Zhu and tell Commander-in-Chief Zhu that I am waiting for his news at the headquarters!"

The two need to cooperate, and only with proper cooperation can he send these fighters to the Japanese army's nest.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief Zhu, our commander asked us to send people over to you, a total of one hundred and sixty people! Please sign! ”

"How is it a hundred and sixty? Didn't you say 200 people? Commander-in-Chief Zhu asked.

"My commander said that these people were carefully selected by him, and they all volunteered to participate in the mission! With such a good soldier, I'm afraid I can't find a second team anywhere else! ”

"Usually I see that your Commander Hu is also a very generous person, okay, go back and tell your commander, two days later, I will let these soldiers have the identity of a Japanese, and then escape from the north of the city to meet the rout of the 23rd Division of the Japanese army, and then I need a force to cooperate!"

The difference of 40 people does not affect this operation for Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and the key to the real impact of this operation is the camouflage of these soldiers!

Time is tight, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu wants to convince the soldiers that they themselves are real Japanese!

"I would like to ask a question, what if we encounter a special situation and do something that we have to do?"

To convince everyone that they are little devils, if there is an emergency, especially in war, it is easy to encounter something unavoidable.

"You have only one mission, a complete map of the underground fortifications! The people of the whole country are in the service of this war, and the underground fortifications are the top priority of the mission, and at a critical juncture, you must also serve the purpose of this mission, and after returning, I only know that you have merit, but I don't know that you have it! ”

Commander-in-Chief Zhu is also a person who has led soldiers, and he knows what the soldiers are thinking in their hearts, and what the soldiers are most afraid of is sorry for this honor!

They are soldiers of the country, and they don't want to live their lives with things that violate this honor, otherwise they won't be able to sleep well.

But this time, Commander-in-Chief Zhu told them that they only need to complete the task and do not have to bear any responsibility! Once you've completed your mission, just come back alive.

Of course, Commander-in-Chief Zhu also believes that these soldiers, even if they are not restrained, they will not deliberately do something that violates their conscience.

"From now on, you only need to remember two things, first, you are little devils, and second, you must complete this mission and come back alive!"

Mission accomplished, successful return! This is the happiest thing for the fighters and commanders! But...... Who knows how many of their more than 100 people will be able to successfully get out of the underground fortifications alive?

And in the past two days, Hu Guoshan has never seen them again! However, Hu Guoshan vented all the dissatisfaction in his heart on the little devil.

The Japanese army in Tonghua cannot move for the time being, but it does not mean that the Japanese troops in other directions will also live a comfortable life together!

When he learned that the Japanese commander was missing and the chief of the general staff was also fleeing, Hu Guoshan asked the troops to carry out a psychological offensive on the one hand, telling the soldiers of the little devils this kind of news, and killing their will to fight!

Secondly, Hu Guoshan told them that we will definitely treat the prisoners well, and we will also send the little devils who have been captured to the front line, and show the little devils as monkeys, so that they can see if they really treat the prisoners well.

Of course, Hu Guoshan didn't count what he said about treating the prisoners well, the purpose was just to kill a few fewer of their soldiers!

As for those stubborn Japanese soldiers, Hu Guoshan directly bombarded them with artillery without saying a word. Carrots and sticks, now Hu Guoshan has this capital.

Tonghua has become a dead end for the Japanese army, and for Hu Guoshan, the entire battlefield is alive, and there are more and more living forces in his hands, that is to say, Hu Guoshan can fight this battle as he wants, and the little devil has to fight according to Hu Guoshan's temper and the ideas of the Chinese troops.
