Chapter 491: Little Devil Diaspora - Blocking Bullets
"Ah, this expatriate. Commander, Beiping is the headquarters of the North China garrison of the army, and of course there are a large number of expatriates. According to our statistics, at least 10% of the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the entire city of Beiping are overseas Chinese of the little devils. In addition, in order to strengthen their notice to the whole of Beiping, they also opened several banks in the whole city of Beiping, and they had a large amount of capital. If nothing else, this time, we will definitely gain more in Beiping City than Tianjin and Taiyuan combined...."Although he didn't know the reason for the commander's question, Luo Zhihui still replied at the first time.
"Okay, it's easy to do it with the little devil diaspora. Didn't the little devils want to use the foreigners in the concession as a shield for them, so that we would not dare to use heavy weapons to launch an attack. Then let's use the little devil expatriates in the city as a shield for us, so that we can easily rush to the front of the little devils without heavy weapons, and engage in our best melee combat with the rest of the little devils... Brigade Commander Luo, you go into the city immediately and catch a group of little devil expatriates. Remember, focus on the wealthy, powerful expatriates. Use their children as a threat, let them all change into the uniforms of our Eighth Route Army, rush to the front of our troops, and block the bullets of our attacking troops... This is called not getting tired of cheating, whatever the little devil gives us, we will return it all bit by bit...."Liu Hua's face showed a trace of murderous aura, and he said affirmatively.
"Ah, let the little devil be a shield for us... Good way. However, Commander, after all, there are a large number of foreigners and reporters in the embassy area, if these reporters are allowed to see that we use a large number of overseas Chinese as shields, will it have a great impact on the image of our Eighth Route Army in the outside world?" Luo Zhihui widened his eyes and asked rhetorically in disbelief.
"Hehe, Lao Luo, that's why I asked you, these little devil expatriates, all to change into the uniforms of our Eighth Route Army. When the time comes, these little devil expatriates will be no different from our Eighth Route Army in appearance. However, the way they walk and the way they speak cannot be changed. This, the little devil defenders must be very clear. On the other hand, these little devil expatriates, who do not stay well in the country, run to our China, plunder our Chinese wealth, and kill us Chinese, and now it is time for them to pay. Liu Hua explained....
"Yes, Commander, I see. The little devil expatriates are here to bully us Chinese, and it is time for them to make their own contributions to our anti-Japanese war cause. Commander, you are just waiting here for my good news, I promise to complete the task..."After receiving an affirmative answer, Luo Zhihui's face immediately showed a confident smile.
"Well, go ahead, let the little devils put on our military uniforms, although they can blind the eyes of foreigners, but they can't gag the mouths of the soldiers. We are not afraid of 10,000 in case, and we must pay attention to keeping this matter confidential. You enter the city at once, and in an hour you will be able to organize your troops and launch an attack on the concession. I'm here, waiting for your good news...."Liu Hua nodded, and finally ordered.
"Yes, Commander, guarantee the completion of the mission. In the shortest possible time, we must eliminate all the remaining little devils in the entire concession, and capture the old devil Tada Jun alive in front of you..."After speaking, Luo Zhihui rushed out of the headquarters with a confident smile, and rushed towards Beiping City, where the sound of guns and cannons was getting weaker and weaker not far away... An hour later, on the edge of the concession, on the position of the soldiers, nearly 100 people appeared, wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, but there were no weapons in their hands. These people, under the threat of the soldiers' bayonets, with a trace of panic in their eyes, were slowly brought to the forefront of the position by the soldiers.
"The first company, the second company, escorted these little devils and charged the army position. Remember, in the process of charging, as long as one of these little devil expatriates is dishonest, immediately open fire, and kill all these people with battlefield discipline, is there any problem? On the forward position, the brigade commander Luo Zhihui pointed to the nearly 100 people who were surrounded by the fighters, and their families were detained by the fighters and used to threaten their little devil expatriates. Commanded to the two company commanders.
"Brigadier Commander, don't worry. The soldiers hated these little devils to the core. As long as one of these little devil expatriates dares to move around and has any idea of escaping, everyone will definitely not show mercy...", a company commander assured in a loud voice. As he spoke, a pair of murderous eyes swept over the nearly 100 little devil expatriates standing in front of him... Suddenly, the nearly 100 little devil expatriates who had just stared at them and decided to be clear to themselves quickly lowered their heads as if they were frightened. Even his own body, after passing by the company commander in front of him, a pair of eyes that could almost kill him, couldn't help but start to tremble...
Two companies, nearly 300 soldiers, under the command of a battalion commander, quickly raised the bayonets in their hands and drove the nearly 100 people and little devils out of the position. Then, along the street, slowly two hundred meters away, the first line of fortifications of the army walked over... In an instant, the battle to attack the concession began, at this very moment... Seeing hundreds of Eighth Route Army, he launched an attack on himself. Although, the soldiers who rushed to the front did not have any weapons in their hands, which they did not expect. However, seeing the Eighth Route Army slowly advancing towards them, the defenders still mercilessly pulled the trigger of the weapon in their hands, and shot the dense rain of bullets at the little devil expatriates who rushed to the front, only wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and without any weapons..."Ah... Yaga, don't shoot, we are the expatriates of the Great Emperor's Empire, the people of His Majesty the Emperor... Ah, get down...."A miserable scream sounded, and the entire army, before it had yet to go out of a distance of dozens of meters, stopped under the frantic strafing of the army... Nearly 100 devil expatriates, after paying nearly half of the casualties, had to stop advancing and quickly lay on the ground. At the same time, with all the curses he could imagine, he let out a huge burst of angry scolding at the imperial soldiers who fired at him in front of him....
"Throw a grenade, drive the little devil in front of you, and continue to charge. Otherwise, we'll let their families come and charge... Boom..."A command sounded behind dozens of expatriates, and several grenades landed precisely on the side of dozens of expatriates... Alerted by the sound of grenade explosions, for the sake of their families, these expatriates knew that what was waiting for them was death. However, I had to get up from the ground and continue to charge forward in the face of the dense rain of bullets fired from the opposite side ....
"Kill and give..."For a while, under the stimulation of death and blood on the battlefield, the original beast surnames of these little devils seemed to be instantly stimulated. In the face of the dense bullets fired head-on, he shouted an earth-shattering roar in unison, and continued to charge without fear of death. The diaspora in front fell, and the latter continued to charge. Just after all fifty expatriates had fallen in the way of the charge, the warriors had advanced a full fifty meters of distance..."Stop advancing, build fortifications on the spot, and hurry... After the second batch of little devil expatriates came, they continued to attack..."Looking at the little devil expatriates who were blocking the troops and blocking the bullets for the soldiers, they were almost killed and wounded, and their own troops began to suffer casualties. The battalion commander who led the team immediately gave the troops an order to defend on the spot ... In the process of charging, the soldiers who carried sandbags quickly rushed to the front of the team and piled up the sandbags on their shoulders in front of them. In less than a minute, a barricade appeared in front of everyone. With a very light and heavy machine gun, it was quickly erected onto the barricade, and the entire fortification was constituted..."Okay, just like that, use the little devil expatriates to block the bullets for us, advance step by step, and slowly compress the position of the little devils." Commander Xu, send me the second batch of little devil expatriates, so that the troops don't be too anxious, use these expatriates, advance step by step, what we have is time, and play slowly with the little devils...."Seeing the two infantry companies, almost without paying any casualties, they advanced the position forward a distance of fifty meters, and Luo Zhihui, the brigade commander who was watching the battle in the rear, immediately showed a smile on his face, and ordered loudly to the regiment commander beside him.
"Brigade commander, you can rest assured, you will ensure the completion of the mission...."As he spoke, nearly a hundred expatriates were escorted by the soldiers and sent to the new forward position, ready to continue to act as the vanguard and launch an attack on the position of the army in front of them... In this way, in less than half an hour, the first line of defense of the Yue Army, located two hundred meters away, was broken by the soldiers after the troops paid the price of the death of a full 300 expatriates, and the soldiers only lost less than a squad of soldiers... Of course, the soldiers did not take the death of the three hundred people of the little devil diaspora to heart. After all, in the entire city of Beiping, tens of thousands of expatriates were captured, and among these bridge people, there were nearly 10,000 people who could attack. With so many expatriates, enough soldiers to wipe out the remaining little devils in the concession... Compared with the confident soldiers on the battlefield, the [***] officials and civilians who were watching the battle on both sides of the street and in the embassies of various countries were shocked by the battle that took place on the street. Because in their eyes, groups of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army braved the rain of bullets and bullets of the army, desperate to charge. In less than two hundred meters of attack, three hundred soldiers fell. Seeing this, they were moved by the determination of the Eighth Route Army to defeat the invaders without fear of sacrifice. However, what they didn't expect was that the hundreds of soldiers who were falling on the street were just imp expatriates wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army... Of course, at this moment, the embassy area of the little devils in the concession is inside the temporary headquarters. After receiving the battle report just sent from the front, everyone in the entire conference room was shocked by what was reported in the war report, and they could not believe that the Chinese, who had always been cowardly in their hearts, might launch a suicidal attack on their enemies like them.
However, it was not this reason that shocked Tada Jun. Because according to their long-term combat experience on the battlefield in China, as long as the bloodshed of the Chinese is aroused, their courage will definitely not be much worse than that of any Chinese [***] ... What shocked him was that the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army actually gave up his previous style of fighting, regardless of the huge casualties of the troops, and ordered the soldiers to launch this kind of attack that was almost suicidal... Although this kind of attack will definitely be able to win in the end, the huge casualties caused by this kind of attack can the reading division of the Eighth Route Army, which has already appeared outside with overstretched troops, be able to withstand it? Thinking of this, Tada Jun couldn't help but shake his head, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. Because he didn't believe that his opponent, Liu Hua, the commander of the Reading Division, would make such an order to make his subordinates pay huge casualties to achieve victory..."Impossible, absolutely impossible, the commander of the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army will definitely not make this decision to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 3,000 yourself." There must be something we don't know about... Yours, immediately report the specific situation of the battle in the forward position, and you must not miss a word..."After confirming the thoughts in his heart, Tada Jun immediately denied it affirmatively. Then, he set his eyes on a squadron leader who stood in front of him and retreated from the forward position.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander..."Under the gaze of Commander General Tada, the squadron leader's body couldn't help but tremble, and quickly replied. From beginning to end, the entire battle was told and there was nothing left. However, just as he was halfway through his words, he was interrupted by a gesture from Tada Jun..."Nani, you said that the Eighth Route Army troops rushing to the front have no weapons in their hands, and they are generally short in stature, and the Eighth Route Army troops with weapons behind them do not seem to be the same troops?" From the squadron leader's answer, the commander, Senior General Tada, who seemed to have discovered something, hurriedly asked..."Hi, Your Excellency Commander." If these people weren't wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, I would almost think they would be soldiers of the Great Empire. Their offensive formation is too similar to the regular offensive formation of our infantry..."Under the gaze of Tada Jun, the squadron leader did not dare to hesitate and replied affirmatively.
"Baga, it's an expatriate, and those people must be our expatriate. In the city, although we have gathered a wing of armed expatriates, there are at least tens of thousands of people in the entire city of Beiping. Among them, there are at least nearly 10,000 young and middle-aged people who have undergone a certain amount of military training. These soldiers who rushed to the front must be them, the despicable Eighth Route Army, who actually used the expatriates of the Great Empire to block bullets for them... "General Tada, who reacted from the shock, clenched his fists and scolded fiercely..."Nani, those people are expatriates from the Great Empire. How is it possible, Your Excellency Commander, as expatriates of the Great Imperial Empire, how could they give their lives to the Eighth Route Army, put on the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and attack us without fear of death..."After listening to Tada's words, all the staff officers in the entire headquarters stopped their work at hand almost at the same time, and were shocked by this astonishing news. Among them, the deputy chief of staff was the first to react from shock and asked rhetorically in disbelief.
"Sano-kun, although these expatriates are the subjects of the Great Empire. However, after all, they have not undergone formal training, and they do not have such a strong tenacity as soldiers. In addition, their families are all in the city of Beiping. If the Eighth Route Army threatens them with their children, how many of these expatriates do you think still remember that they are themselves? Tada Jun shook his head and said.
"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army. However, Your Excellency, there is still a problem with humiliation. A large number of troops from various countries and countless journalists were stationed in the entire concession, so aren't the troops of the Eighth Route Army afraid that after this secret is revealed, they will be condemned by the whole world, after all, China has not introduced the Naiva Convention..."The deputy chief of staff continued to ask..."The solution to this problem is very simple, and our opponent Liu Hua not only thought of it, but also did it. That's why they want these diasporas to wear their own military uniforms. At this moment, in the eyes of reporters and officers from all over the concession, only the Chinese troops were to launch a fierce attack on the aggressor, that is, our Imperial Army, for the sake of their own country. As for what is behind the scenes, even if we tell him, they will not believe it. After all, our international reputation has not always been very good, especially in some European and American countries...," Tada replied.
For a while, the entire headquarters, except for the constant sound of radio announcements, everyone was stunned by the words spoken by Commander Tada Jun, and they didn't know what to say....Finally, after a few minutes of silence, when the gunshots a few kilometers away reached the headquarters again, the deputy chief of staff broke the silence of the headquarters and began to speak.
"Your Excellency, Commander, now the Eighth Route Army is using a large number of expatriates as shields and constantly attacking our fortifications. Could it be that we just watched the troops of the Eighth Route Army, without paying any price, to destroy the remaining strength of our army little by little, and we really have no room to fight back..."
"Sano-kun, do you have any way?" Regarding the question of the deputy chief of staff, Tada Jun could only shake his head helplessly. Then, he quickly set his eyes on the deputy chief of staff in front of him, who had always been a little-known deputy chief of staff in the headquarters. I hope that this deputy chief of staff can come up with a feasible solution at a critical time...
