Chapter 727: Night Attack
The route chosen by the crows was extremely streamlined and safe, and they quietly lurked at the front of the Japanese position. It has to be said that the experience of the crows in many battles has made them extremely familiar with the Japanese army.
Even more familiar than the Japanese themselves, they can find the blind spots of the position, they can find the flaws in the position. Then he used some methods to quietly lurk in front of the position with people only five hundred meters away.
All were ordered not to move and to wait for the signal to attack. This makes the new soldiers below very strange, why don't you rush when they are all in front of the position?!
Although they had just joined the Wehrmacht, they had already felt the harsh discipline. Eat and drink, absolutely full! But it is not allowed to violate military discipline in peacetime, and in terms of military discipline, after they changed into military uniforms, the veterans of the Wehrmacht have already explained to them Chapter 727 of the Night Raid.
Fortunately, the three disciplines and eight points of attention of the Tu Qianjun National Defense Force version are very simple, tell them about it, teach them to sing, and they can basically remember it. In terms of treatment, it is also clear that eating and drinking are not counted as 20 yuan per person per month.
This military salary made everyone stunned, twenty yuan?! At this time, the highest military salary generally announced is more than ten yuan per month, and it is normal to be deducted three or four yuan or even a few months!
For example, the monthly salary of the second-class soldier of the Sichuan Army is 6 yuan and 6 jiao, and it is also paid at a 20% discount; The monthly salary of a second-class soldier in Guangdong is ten yuan, and another (zero) five jiao, or even no pay for a long time.
The worst was the troops in Nanjing, except for a part of the elite, the rest of the troops only had 10 yuan and 0 millioceans in January, and they often did not pay for several months. This can explain why the strong men who can't survive are forced to rob, but those officials and masters don't treat people as human beings at all.
These are not lies, but they are all recorded on paper!
Theodore H. White, Chinese name Bai Xiude, is a famous American journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner for journalism. He documented these situations in his co-authorship of "Thunder from China" with Jaanna, but unfortunately many people ignored or were reluctant to mention this historical material.
"Officers, Chapter 727: Night Raids Treat Soldiers Like Animals
The lieutenants treated the soldiers as if they were animals. At the whims of the officials, soldiers could be tortured, killed, and punished by cutting off their ears and flogging. ”
"The U.S. military personnel in the training class have a sense of disgust, and it is common to see soldiers being punished with ** knees. Kneeling on the playground with a lot of stones, his hands tied behind his back, basking in the scorching sun until he passed out. A soldier is not only a personal servant of an officer, but also a personal servant of an officer's wife and family......"
"The strong men who are still alive after training arrive in the front-line army, and their situation is not much better than when they were recruited, because the squadron is slowly starving to death on the battlefield."
"If luck is good, the ruler is honest. And if everything is done according to the rules, the Chinese soldiers eat rice and vegetables. His ration was 24 taels a day, but it was very insufficient. Foods other than rice, occasionally some green beans and radishes. ”
"There are many strange illnesses in the army, the most common of which are those caused by starvation. Because their physique was corrupted by poor food, insomnia, and years of life on the front, any infectious disease floating in the air was extremely susceptible to infecting Chinese soldiers......"
"No one who has seen Chinese soldiers on the battlefield will doubt their bravery, but the commander wastes their bravery in such a useless way that the onlookers are saddened."
That's a kind of put-at-all. Because Bai Xiude did not directly interview those soldiers. All he was able to observe and interview were some of the trainees sent by the United States to the training course.
But the accusations of the soldiers of the former Nanjing who later surrendered to Chili are the most bloody and tearful memories.
"Soldiers are often punished for kneeling, starvation, urine, feces, and phlegm, simply because their commanders want to have some fun. More than half of the rank-and-file soldiers had been severely tortured. Others were shot and buried alive. Many soldiers were sodomized by their superiors or their wives and daughters were raped by their superiors. And for the sake of deterrence, deserters are often tortured and killed by beheading, disembowelment, etc......"
This is a record of nearly 200 historical witnesses interviewed when the Kuomintang 60th Army was reorganized into the 50th Army, including 116 former Nanjing officers and soldiers, including 2 divisions, 8 regiments, 4 battalions, 19 company platoons, 83 soldiers, and 6 dependents of the army. This is the memory of the vast majority of them.
Concisely listing some figures is more indicative of the situation of the squadron than writing a few big books.
In 1938, when the initial offensive of the Japanese army ended, all troops totaled more than 4 million men. For the next six years. The Nanjing government conscripted 1.5 million soldiers every year; By 1944, there should have been at least 12 million on the army's list, but there were only 4 million left!
Even four million people, which is still a polite statement. Where did the remaining eight million go? No one knows for sure. Even if 1.32 million people died in the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression according to the national government, what about the remaining 5 million people?! These more than 5 million people simply disappeared without a trace. No one remembers them, no one remembers them.
No one knows who they are, no one knows where they came from. No one knows whether they are dead or alive......
"The strong men ate less than the starving soldiers, and sometimes they didn't even have water. Many of them were stripped of their clothes and slept on mud floors, and they were scourged: the dead bodies of the strong men could be left there for a few days; In many areas. In the end, less than 20 percent of the total number of strong men who could reach the front line were enlisted. ”
"When the horrific story of the Belson and Butchwald concentration camps in Europe came, it was the Chinese conscription at that time. The doctors who worked in the camp in Chengdu were not surprised by the German terror, saying that all the descriptions of the Nazi concentration camps were almost the same as the ones they worked in. ”
"A battalion of strong men near Chengdu had to accept 40,000 strong men to be trained and enlisted, but many of them died on the way to the camp, and only 8,000 were able to survive until the end of the training. It is said that there was also a team of 1,000 strong men, and as many as 800 of them died due to the negligence of the training officials......"
In "Thunder from China," Theodore H. White writes. Perhaps, this is the final outcome of the more than 5 million people. They didn't die on the battlefield, they were just disposed of like livestock.
In fact, Stilwell, who was sent to Nanjing at that time to direct the operation, had a simple request: to cleanse this selfishness, incompetence and ** from the command headquarters.
However, he touched the interests of too many people, so that Jiang Zhongzheng later hated him to the core. Because this soldier blew out the horrific things in his troops.
It's a pity that Jiang Zhongzheng didn't understand Stilwell's painstaking efforts. In other words, in the eyes of Jiang Zhongzheng and others, Zhuang Ding is just a pig and a dog. They are dead and dead, and no one cares. Then, in the Nanjing State Government and the Red War after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, more than one million Nanjing troops surrendered to the Red Army......
"Whoosh...... Boom Boom Boom ......" After a long wait, the crazy rockets finally began to fire! These positions have long been figured out by the crows, and all the coordinates have been marked clearly!
The 107 Tigers, which have a range of more than 8.5 kilometers, roared at the positions of the Japanese army, which was a frenzied bombardment! During World War II, it was calculated that a salvo of one Katyusha rocket vehicle was equivalent to the intensive fire of 18 self-propelled guns.
And the 107 Tiger Roar, although it does not have the capacity of 16 rounds of Katyusha, nine rockets is at least equivalent to the intensive fire of ten self-propelled guns. One 107 is ten guns, and its power can be imagined.
Although the Japanese were prepared for the counterattack of the defenders of Nanjing, they did not expect that the defenders would use heavy artillery to carry out artillery bombardment at night! Moreover, this shelling was so accurate and direct that it hit the position.
The Japanese troops who were guarding were caught off guard and the bombed people turned on their backs, while Gu Daqi and others lurking in front of the position were full of excitement! In the past, only Japanese people had a rare treatment that they tried in their hearts. It's so refreshing!
"Red deer! Send someone to the front line immediately to see what is going on, are the defenders going to launch a counterattack?! Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura yelled at the adjutant, and the adjutant "Hai" ran away with a pale face.
When the shelling was over, the platoon commanders and company commanders of the Wehrmacht suddenly jumped up with a roar and led the people towards the Japanese position!
Before the Japanese troops who were blown up could react, the soldiers of the Wehrmacht entered the position!
"Da Da Da ......" This is the roar of light machine guns and submachine guns, and countless Japanese soldiers screamed in the dark night and were knocked down! And behind the Wehrmacht, there was also an earth-shattering roar!
After they launched a counterattack, the troops behind also charged.
The Wehrmacht's fighting style has always been fierce, with light machine guns and submachine guns in their hands and starting to sweep fire. The grenadiers in the back were bombarded at the Japanese positions, and all the fire points detected by the crows were all grenades.
"Kill the devil!!" Gu Daqi proudly grabbed the submachine gun and rushed to the front in one breath! Sweeping over a few Japanese soldiers who tried to pounce, he began to cover his side with the help of cover.
However, in three or two strokes, the Japanese army's front-line positions collapsed. The roaring Wehrmacht has rushed to the position, frantically killing the second-line position like a surging torrent!
......Due to the resistance of the first-line positions, the second-line positions of the Japanese army finally had time to prepare. They set up heavy machine guns and fired at the assault troops.
A few crows flashed out, and a fire crow held in his hand and fired at the Japanese army, which was a rocket of "whoosh~"! I saw that the rocket dragged its tail flame and hit the Japanese position.
"Boom!!" But I heard a scream in the night, and the machine gun suddenly fell silent!
"Kill the devil!!" Su Haoxuan roared angrily, and with red eyes, he led people towards the Japanese army's position...... rs!!!
