As a result, Lieutenant General Uemura originally thought that he could easily hold Siping for three days and wait for the 63rd Division to come back, but in fact he only held it for less than three hours. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

What made Lieutenant General Uemura even more unbearable was ...... He and his command were about to retreat, when several tanks and half-tracks suddenly broke into his command and surrounded him.

The squadron has pre-deployed scouts in Siping, and Siping City has no city walls, it is a city developed from a bazaar...... Located at the junction of several provinces, especially the eastern part of Mongolia on its way southward, it is natural that many people of different nationalities communicate here: the Mongols have furs in their hands, the northeasterners have grain in their hands, and because of the flat and open terrain of Siping, they are accustomed to trading here. Over time, more and more people have lived here, and now it has grown to more than 100,000 people.

This unique historical development makes the structure of Siping City very simple...... It is a railway that passes through the city, the left is the west of the road and the right is the east of the road, (note: modern is the Tiexi District, the Tiedong District), which is also the reason why Siping is nicknamed "Siping Street".

Therefore, the squadron easily found the headquarters of the Japanese Lieutenant General Uemura under the guidance of the scouts, and surrounded it with two "Stuart" tanks and more than a dozen half-track vehicles...... Outside of it, there were originally two squads of Japanese defense, but where were they the opponents of the squadron armed to the teeth, and they all fell in a pool of blood in one charge.

Then the soldiers pointed their guns and muzzles at the three-story small western-style building in front of them, and shouted inside: "Mao Laolu, alas, Lakolaus!" (Japanese: Surrender, shoot or kill!) ）”

There was no movement for a long time, and the soldiers were about to rush in when they heard a few "bangs" of gunshots, followed by a shout of "wah-la-wah-wah-la-la".

The soldiers had spoken a few sentences in Japanese by rote according to Japanese pronunciation, and they were confused when they heard the quarrel...... No one could figure out what was going on inside.

"Company commander!" One of the fighters asked, "Why don't you just rush in......

"Wait!" The company commander replied: "Let's see the situation!" ”

It turned out that the company commander was right, and after a while, a white flag was stretched out from the headquarters, and then a stiff voice shouted: "Don't shoot, we surrender!" ”

When these Japanese soldiers came out, the soldiers laughed...... Needless to say, it must be that Lieutenant General Uemura was unwilling to surrender and wanted to break the jade, but his subordinates did not agree, so there was the next scene.

In fact...... This decapitation operation did not make much sense.

At least in Zhang Chi's eyes...... From the perspective of the battlefield, the decapitation operation is either to paralyze its chain of command and put its troops in a state of chaos without command, or to get some valuable information from this big fish.

However, before Lieutenant General Uemura's command post was terminated, the Japanese army was actually in a state of chaos without command, and Zhang Chi had obtained enough information from the reconnaissance troops, so this Lieutenant General Uemura did not care whether he was there or not, and at the same time, he did not care whether he lived or died.

However, it is a good thing to be able to catch alive and capture it alive with its staff headquarters, which can hit the morale of other Japanese troops to a certain extent, especially the puppet army...... As soon as the puppet army heard the news, they would think in their hearts: Look, the devil and a lieutenant general have surrendered, why can't we surrender?

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi immediately asked Staff Officer Liang to deal with this matter.

As for the specific way to deal with it, it was to add fuel to the story of Uemura's surrender through the Japanese army's radio, and in addition, it was also possible to secretly distribute leaflets through airplanes and scouts...... Radio stations can interfere, but leaflets can't.

The Battle of Siping ended almost perfectly, and the squadron only suffered more than 500 casualties before defeating a Japanese division.

The Japanese casualties were almost impossible to count, the corpses were strewn all over the ground, and the wounded who surrendered were also piled in piles, which caused some trouble for the expeditionary force...... How to settle these casualties of the Japanese army?

Zhang Chi didn't take this into account for this, you must know that in the past when fighting in the Pacific Theater, there were basically no prisoners after a battle, but now there are two or three thousand prisoners after the four peaces, and if you add the puppet army and the personnel who maintain law and order, there are five or six thousand people...... The casualties of the puppet army in this battle were large, they were forced to be stationed on the front line by the Japanese army, and the expeditionary force could only fight to the death when facing them...... This is the reality of the battlefield, one carelessly will die, no one dares to be merciful to the enemy with a gun in his hand, even if he knows that they are Chinese and may be forced to go to the battlefield.

It would have been fine if it had been at any other time, and the captives would have been brought back.

But here's the problem...... The expeditionary force is now fighting a "blitzkrieg", and the blitzkrieg is all about speed, and the new 1st Division is still the top soldier in the battle, and sending troops to bring back the captives of this size of 5 or 6,000 people, how much strength and how much time is wasted!

In the end, this problem was successfully solved...... The scout lurking in Siping is called Yuan Hongli, he organized a team of more than 200 people during this time, and at this time, with a big wave of the banner, thousands of people soon responded (the total number of people in Siping is only more than 100,000, and after the Japanese army requisitioned a large number of young and strong laborers, it is quite good to have thousands of people respond. ）

Then, Yuan Hongli fired the weapons he had seized from the Japanese army into their hands...... Such a team may not be able to fight, but it is more than enough to take care of the prisoners.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is a Japanese military airfield north of Siping...... Siping is flat and wide, it is a good place to build an airport, and it is also a traffic block, so the devil will naturally not let it go.

When the airfield was captured, the Japanese set the gasoline on fire, and a chain of explosions soon sounded at the airfield...... This made Zhang Chi feel distressed, if he could get the fuel in the airport, he didn't know how much logistical pressure he could reduce for the expeditionary force.

However, it seems difficult to do this, because igniting fuel seems to be something that can only be done by striking a match, and it is difficult to guarantee that even with modern special forces. Thinking of this, Zhang Chi's heart was balanced.

Next...... Zhang Chi looked at the map, it was time to ask the Yankees for some more fighters.
