Chapter 758: The Taste of Defeat

"Nonsense, isn't this discrediting the Dian army!?"

Yang Hong learned about Shao Fei's shooting of the prisoner for the first time, because Shao Fei handed over the other two dozen devil captives to Yang Hong.

When Yang Hong was furious when he learned the news, Shao Fei completely ignored his advice before leaving. So he personally went to the headquarters to find Zhang Chong and asked to replace Shao Fei.

"What made Grand Master Yang angry like this?"

Yang Hong's grievances were clear, his joy and anger were colorful, and Zhang Chong could see the anger in Yang Hong's heart at a glance.

Yang Hong exhaled and said, "Shao Fei shot and killed more than seventy captives in Fulin's brain, does the master know about this?"

Yang Hong's words surprised the people in the command headquarters, and shooting prisoners was not a trivial matter.

Zhang Chong was the same, he didn't know at all, and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Yang Hong immediately told Zhang Chong what happened, and then said: "You have to replace him, you can't tell him to mess around." Maybe Gao Yi's death hit him really and he lost his mind. ”

In a sense, Yang Hong is protecting Shao Fei. This thing has spread out, but it can be big or small.

While Zhang Chong was still thinking about it, Yang Hong said: "They are violating the convention by doing this, and our Dian army may also be condemned."

Zhang Chong asked rhetorically: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the international convention?"

Yang Hong didn't think about it so much, he was just an old soldier, and he wouldn't think about this problem from such a high perspective.

Zhang Chong seemed to think of it, and said with a smile: "I can understand Shao Fei's approach in this matter, and it has nothing to do with Gao Yi's sacrifice." Commander Yang, you have always been jealous and hateful, if it were you, I think even those twenty devils would be killed by you. ”

"What do you mean? I have been fighting for nearly thirty years in my life, and I have never killed a single prisoner. I have always abided by the morality of a soldier. ”

Zhang Chong said: "Politicians will say high-sounding things at a certain height, such as humanity and justice, but there has been no specific standard since ancient times. Only personal experience can be understood, and what is understood is different. The military morality you uphold belongs only to you. ”

Yang Hong still didn't understand what Zhang Chong meant, and said: "I don't understand, I'm a soldier, not a politician." Also, what does this have to do with Shao Fei? ”

Zhang Chong continued: "Shao Fei's shooting of the prisoners should be related to the Nanjing Massacre, and the Ninth Division is one of the culprits. At that time, when I heard the news of Nanjing, my lungs exploded, not to mention that Shao Fei personally experienced the massacre. Head Yang, do you remember the second time you and I met Shao Fei in Wuhan? At that time, he had just returned from Nanjing. ”

Yang Hong began to think back that Shao Fei was very painful at that time, his eyes were full of killing intent, and his heart was completely swallowed by hatred. Now Yang Hong is beginning to understand Shao Fei's approach, perhaps because of his words, so he left those two dozen devils.

In the Fulin brain position, Shao Fei and Liu Sheng started a real contest. But the tide of the war began to tilt in favor of the Japanese army. The Dian army began to retreat, while the follow-up units of the Japanese 9th Division, the Potian Detachment, and the 27th Division began to assemble and prepare for the second phase of the offensive, targeting Yangxin County and Chongyang.

Below the position, the Japanese army was regrouped. As a result of Yagyu's arrival, the morale of the troops was restored. Before the attack, Liu Sheng did not ask for reinforcements from the air force, he didn't care about the success or failure of the war at all, he just wanted to have a fair contest with Shao Fei.

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

After a feeble round of artillery bombardment, the Japanese prepared for a ground attack.

The pillar ran to the rear headquarters in a panic and shouted: "Captain, go to the forward position and take a look, something is wrong!" ”

At the headquarters, it was impossible to observe the situation under the mountain, and just as Shao Fei was going, a soldier ran in and reported: "There is a team of more than 100 devils in the back mountain. ”

Shao Fei immediately ordered: "Let the spy company defend the rear position, and you must not let the devils attack." There were wounded and battalion supplies. ”

After the order, Shao Fei hurriedly ran to the forward position with the pillar, and then picked up the telescope to watch.

At the foot of the mountain, in front of the devil's attack troops, there were rows of civilians, as well as prisoners of the Sichuan army, the number of which was about a hundred. He was slowly moving towards the left flank of the position.

"Damn, Yanagi bastard, do you even have to give up your pride for the sake of victory?"

Shao Fei put down the binoculars, unable to understand what Liu Sheng was doing. Yanagi is such a proud person, the glory of nobility is above all else, he disdains to do dirty things with Ben. But everything in front of him made Shao Fei have to believe it.

The knife on the side sighed and said, "Ahem~ Yanagi Shengjun, you have fallen." ”

Shao Fei said: "I don't believe it, there must be fraud in it." ”

Shao Fei never believed that Liu Sheng would be so depraved. The reason is simple, he is a man who attaches great importance to family and identity.

In battle, it was a despicable act to use civilians and prisoners of war as shields, and even if they were victorious, they would be ridiculed and criticized by others.

To fight a war, to know oneself and the other, we must first understand the commander of the other side, which is Shao Fei's combat habit. Therefore, Shao Fei's judgment is that those captives and people are all pretending to be devils, because there are no women, old people, or children among them.

Just when Shao Fei believed in his own judgment, the team in front of him was already approaching, and the captives shouted in Sichuan: "We are the Sichuan army, don't shoot~"

The Sichuan dialect completely overturned Shao Fei's judgment, and his brain became a pot of porridge. Truth and falsehood, fiction and reality, are constantly shifting in the brain. What Nash equilibrium does not work at all, and even a 1% mistake will have irreversible consequences.

Just as Shao Fei was still thinking, the commander of the third company said anxiously: "Regiment leader, they are already close to a hundred meters, what should I do?" Those are the common people and the Sichuan army, and we can't shoot. Otherwise, the spy will have to fight with us. ”

At this time, the pillar suggested: "At the time of the battle of Xinkou, the devil also used a human shield, or we used the method from last time." ”

It's two times, last time those were real people, and they were all tied up. And this time is different, Shao Fei likes to calculate probabilities, at least eighty percent of the probability that the other party is a devil.

Shao Fei seemed to have been forced to a dead end by Liu Sheng, and he didn't dare to risk the world's big deal, so he could only rescue him according to the previous method.

So, Shao Fei ordered: "When it is close to fifty meters, tell the soldiers on the position to shout and tell the people to lie down." Then the grenadier group launched an artillery attack on the devils in the rear. Immediately after the shelling, the charge was charged. To emphasize, leave the people alone, and the captives, and try to keep your distance. ”

Zhu Zi and the commander of the third company immediately relayed the order, and Shao Fei quickly left. If you make a mistake in your own judgment, you must find a way to minimize the loss.

The troops in front soon approached fifty meters.

"Get down! Get down! ”“……”

The shouts of the soldiers of the three companies sounded from the position. The people and the prisoners of the Sichuan army quickly lay down, and then a round of roars sounded behind the people.

"Kill~" "Kill~" "......"

The three companies quickly launched a charge and went to rescue the civilians and the prisoners. After all the soldiers had passed through the ranks of the civilians, they quickly launched an attack on the Japanese troops.

"Get to the ground!"

The soldiers shouted as they killed, and the men quickly got up and ran to the position.

However, what Shao Fei was worried about still happened, and those were indeed pretended to be devils. After these fake civilians entered the position, they took out bayonets and pistols from the bosom of their clothes and immediately launched a surprise attack on the remaining soldiers in the position.

Shao Fei warned Sanlian before leaving, they might be fake, so more than 30 soldiers on the position took precautions and quickly fought with these more than 100 devils on the position.

"Kill~" "Kill~"

Bursts of killing cries rang out from the south, and a company quickly arrived to reinforce and join the battle.

When Yagyu under the mountain saw it, he ordered loudly: "Attack on all fronts!" ”

"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"

Japanese artillery quickly launched a heavy artillery attack on the center and right flank of the position.

The left flank became a breach, and the entire line of defense of the position began to loosen. Liu Sheng used superior forces to set up a "cone formation", using artillery fire to suppress the middle and right flanks, and the elite troops mainly attacked the middle and assisted in the defense with infantry artillery.

As a result, it is difficult to hold in the middle. Once the middle lane is broken, the two wings will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Shao Fei has already seen it very thoroughly, the devil troops in the back mountains will not attack, and they are used to contain the spy company. Yanagi took advantage of the loopholes in his own troop movements, and then attacked on all fronts to break through the three lines of defense.

In this game, Shao Fei lost, and he lost completely. Yanagi knew Shao Fei too well and completely saw through his mind, so he launched actions in his favor.

In desperation, Shao Fei ordered the troops to retreat on all fronts, keep their living forces, and defend the last hilltop position. In this battle, Shao Fei felt defeat for the first time.
