Chapter 432: The Gambling of the Human Heart and Human Nature
Obviously, Sun Yongqin misunderstood.
Liu Lang's sudden cold killing intent made him think that Gu Lang was afraid that Liu Lang would not care about the tens of thousands of residents in the city and open fire brazenly, so where he and the tens of thousands of Japanese troops under his command were still sitting and waiting with a big explosive barrel, it was really similar to looking for death.
Don't say it, Terumi Tanibe and Sun Yongqin really have similar ideas.
You, a veteran who has been in the army for many years, can't even think of this? Naturally, he thought about it. Not only did he think about it, but he had even done it. As early as two days ago, when Liu Lang chased him and his intestines were about to break, Tanibe Terubei ordered his soldiers to tie up nearly 40 ordinary people in a Chinese mountain village passing by and send them to the front of the position.
The meaning is obvious, that is, if you dare to attack again, then you Chinese will bear the brunt of the first death, and sure enough, this trick works very well.
It almost made Tanibe Terubei raise a glass in the headquarters to celebrate, he can be regarded as grasping the weakness of the Chinese pity the tribesmen, and he can completely concoct it according to law in the future.
Unexpectedly, the gunfire of the front-line troops of the Chinese attack stopped for less than two minutes, and nearly 60 rounds of mustard gas shells were fired into the Japanese position, and the Chinese expressed their response by emptying the gas bombs captured from Yuji Nagano's brigade in one go.
At the same time, at the moment when the Japanese army was rushing around for gas masks and making a mess, the three battalions of the Great Wall Regiment launched a strong attack from three sides, and they showed all their attack power for the first time. Nearly forty high-velocity machine guns and six machine guns opened fire at the same time, and a company with flower and box guns at the forefront of the charge poured nearly 10,000 rounds of ammunition on their way in just two minutes.
In the dense rain of bullets, the Japanese soldiers grabbed a handful of soil casually, and there may have been several copper warheads in it.
The Eighth Division was almost not beaten out, and the strong man broke his wrist and left an infantry brigade behind, and the large force retreated twenty miles again.
And when he learned that more than 40 villagers who were taken hostage by the Japanese army finally rescued less than 10 people, the military order issued by Liu Lang made all the hairs of the Eighth Division stand on end.
All the Japanese officers and soldiers on the battlefield, whether they were dead, still had a breath or several breaths, were chopped off by the Great Wall Regiment and piled up in front of the tomb of more than 30 martyred Chinese people.
It was a cruel ritual that was unique in ancient China to deter enemies.
The pile-up of nearly 1,000 heads into a pyramid-like structure is a terrifying sight in itself. It wasn't until a day later, taking advantage of the kraft candy war between the two armies, that the Eighth Division took down the heads of thousands of its colleagues and cremated them, but no one dared to touch the tomb where the heads of 30 Chinese people rested with the heads of thousands of comrades.
The Chinese used madness and death to tell Major General Tanibe a truth: war is a soldier's business, and if you dare to use civilians to do things that should not be done, then death is not the final end.
That's right, after Liu Lang learned that the Japanese invaders had made such a public anger and used civilians as meat shields, he only hesitated for less than ten seconds before making an extremely resolute decision.
Fight, must fight! To put it mildly, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed in front of the country and the nation. Civilians are Chinese, aren't the soldiers of the Great Wall Regiment? The end result of the woman's kindness is that civilians will still be killed, and the brave and fearless warriors of the Great Wall will have to pay an undeserved price for the brutality of the enemy.
The most terrible thing is not the sacrifice to be paid, if it is just a sacrifice, Liu Lang will try his best to save his people. Soldiers are supposed to be the patron saints of civilians.
The most terrible thing is that if the Japanese invaders eat the sweetness on this, then in the future battle, millions of people on the land of China will become their meat shields, and it will be the biggest tragedy in the world.
Liu Lang has never underestimated the brutality of the Japanese, in the past time and space, they have performed this kind of scene countless times, what is a small village of dozens of people in their eyes? Because of the heavy casualties, in order to vent their anger, the capital of a country, a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands after the great retreat, was almost killed by them into a blank field.
The largest river in China, the surging Yangtze River, which stretches for thousands of miles, and passes through more than 10 kilometers of Dacheng, turned pink in those ten days, and countless big fish have since become fat.
The wails of hundreds of thousands of unjust souls could even be heard when Liu Lang went to the Command Academy to study and visit the Holocaust Memorial Hall 80 years later, standing in front of the stone plaque that recorded that sad history.
It was undoubtedly the most humiliating moment and the saddest moment in modern Chinese history.
Liu Lang remembered deeply that he was standing there with his eyes closed.
Didn't cry.
However, the heart beats like a drum, and the blood rushes like a spring.
The eyebrows and eyes are like knives.
Perhaps, from that moment, God began to arrange a back door for Liu Lang, in order to satisfy the dream of a Chinese soldier who was unwilling to suffer this humiliation.
The Chinese nation should not have suffered such humiliation. A government that could protect its own people, an army that could defend its own capital, they must make changes.
Liu Lang had to make the Japanese invaders understand that a war involving civilians would be more than just a war.
Moreover, Liu Lang's current madness is just a warning.
If Tanibe Terube continues to do so in the face of the world's condemnation, then what Liu Lang has to do is to hang the corpses of all the Japanese criminals on the big trees on both sides of the official road leading to Rehe.
At the same time, at the moment of the end of the war, Liu Lang will return to the base to focus on cultivating dark special forces. How terrible will it be for a futuristic republic with modern military special skills to train thousands of special forces to assassinate, harass, and carry out large-scale terrorist attacks in three years?
I am afraid that the people of Japan will experience it first-hand in a few years.
Gu Bu Zhaobei, who was almost frightened by Liu Lang's first battle, immediately extinguished the small idea of using tens of thousands of residents of Chengde City as meat shields and even threats to coerce Liu Lang not to march into the three eastern provinces. He didn't dare to gamble with Liu Lang on the lives of more than 10,000 ordinary people in China, because the bet on the scales was the lives of him and more than 10,000 imperial soldiers, or he would add the pyramid of being used as bricks by people after death.
In fact, Tanibe Terube should be glad for his "timidity", he doesn't know that if he insists on going his own way, he will officially open Pandora's box and release what kind of terrible demon he will unleash.
That would be a blessing for his friends and relatives in Japan.
The reason why Sun Yongqin misunderstood was that he completely regarded Liu Lang as a ruthless soldier.
In fact, Sun Yongqin, like Terubei Tanibe, thought wrong about Liu Lang.
When Liu Lang used civilians as meat shields in Gube Terubei, he brazenly used all the poison gas bombs that were snatched from the Japanese army's baggage brigade, which was to tell Tanibe Terubei what it meant to be unstoppable. Liu Lang believed that as the commander of the Eighth Division, Tanibe Terube definitely knew how many poison gas bombs the baggage team had.
Dozens of civilians have already made Liu Lang's eyes red, how could he be so ruthless as to abandon tens of thousands of people?
It's just that Tanibe Terubei himself doesn't dare to gamble, if he dares to put his life and the lives of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers on the table to gamble.
He'll win.
It's just that Terube Tanibe doesn't have such courage.
