Chapter 142: Non-Combat Zone (Subscription Requested)

Hamilton and Hafoman glanced at each other, and then Hamilton spoke: "Your Excellency, please allow me to confess that the current situation is not optimistic for your Japanese army, and as non-combatants on the battlefield, we must find ways to ensure the safety of our own lives. ”

Kuroki nodded for Zhen: "What are you going to do?" ”

"We have already contacted the Russians, and we will demarcate an area on the battlefield and ask the Russians not to carry out any military action against that area. The Russians have agreed to our conditions, and we have come to inform the Commander that you will be asked to demarcate an area. At the same time, if you have people on the Japanese side who need protection, as long as you do not carry weapons, we can take care of their safety. ”

Kuroki glanced at them, and to be honest, he was full of contempt for these observers at this time. Are there any non-combatants on the battlefield? If anything, when Nishikuan Jiro gave guns to those women, they didn't say anything?

However, Kuroki didn't say anything. The Great Japanese Empire needed a good international relationship, and he couldn't be as quick as Yang Dagui to take revenge and kill all these people if they didn't like it. Moreover, it would be a good thing for them to keep some Japanese personnel safe.

"Okay, I'll immediately set aside a non-combat zone to ensure your safety, and we now have more than 1,200 wounded soldiers, as well as some medical personnel and a group of family members of the accompanying soldiers, please take care of them!"

Kuroki bowed ninety degrees to Mr. Hamilton after he finished speaking.

There were a bit of a lot of people, and Mr. Hamilton frowned, but seeing the Japanese officer, who was very well-mannered in his eyes, bowed to him, Hamilton couldn't find a reason to refuse. After all, in addition to completing the mission, he also received an additional check for a very considerable amount from this commander, and the reason for the short-term manpower is also known to Westerners.

Hao Fuman first said: "There is no problem, Your Excellency, I assure you. With us here, the Russians will not come out with anything that violates international humanity. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at his watch: "The Russians have given us half an hour to inform them of the location, Your Excellency, please hurry." ”

Kuroki carved out a non-engagement zone in one corner of the battlefield. It must have looked like a few hundred square meters, and these observers from Europe used a very thick rope to pull up a simple separation belt. At the same time, they found a few tree trunks and hung their country's flag high, which could be seen at a glance from a distance.

There were more than 1,000 wounded Japanese soldiers in this zone, all of whom were seriously wounded and completely incapacitated to fight. There were more than 400 medical personnel and more than 300 Japanese women who accompanied the army, most of whom were comfort women brought by the Japanese army from Korea. A very small number were the families of high-ranking Japanese officers, and there were also the children of some officers.

These Japanese were very conscious at this time, and after the wounded soldiers entered the camp, they lay quietly on the ground one by one, holding back the pain and not saying a word. The Japanese women, under the command of the medical staff, helped the wounded to their wounds, while the North Korean women crouched to the side in an orderly manner.

This was a very rare situation among the troops that were about to be defeated, and the European observers were somewhat impressed. They understood the discipline of the Japanese army, and the courage of these people. That is, Yang Dagui is too despicable, if Kuroki Weizhen received the news a few minutes in advance, the Japanese army would not be like this now.

After the barrier is arranged. A Russian official came over to take a look. The number of people inside was clearly more than the Russians expected, and the Russian officer argued with Hamilton for a few words, then turned and left. …,

Preparations for the attack of the Russian units on the opposite side have apparently begun. Hao Fuman's heart was a little nervous: "Hamilton, what did that Russian guy tell you just now?" ”

Hamilton shrugged his shoulder: "It's nothing, the Russians said that there were too many Japanese here, and they asked for an interrogation of the people here, and I refused their request, it seems that he is very angry." ”

Hao Fuman exhaled: "This damn war is actually like this!" That Yang fighting ghost changed the entire battle situation in one fell swoop. We want to go home, probably to be a Russian ship. ”

Hamilton also sighed: "The worst thing is. The Russians already had no boats. Alright man, now we have to send a telegram to our consulate right away, telling them that we are in danger, and that they are going to negotiate with the Russians and that we must be kept safe, understand? ”

There was consensus among observers on this point.

The foreigners were very efficient, and the telegram was sent at 7:08, but at 7:25 a.m., when Akberil was preparing to attack, the Russian commander Kulopatkin sent a telegram demanding that Akberil ensure the safety of these so-called non-combatants.

This annoyed Ackberil. He initially promised these people out of international practice, and Akberlil's idea was that I would not fight you, and whether you could survive on the battlefield or not was up to your own luck. Of course, he also gave these people another way, which was to come to the side of the Russians, in which case the Russian troops would be responsible for their safety.

But these guys have to set up a non-combat zone. Akberlir accommodated them, but did not expect that they had accommodated some Japanese in the non-combat zone. Akberil was already very unhappy, and now the commander demanded that he must ensure their safety, who could guarantee the accuracy of every shell on the battlefield?

Akberlier understood that this was certainly not the commander's intention, for the commander's order read: "The consulates of all countries require us to ensure the safety of the lives of non-combatant observers on the battlefield. ”

He slammed the telegram to the ground. Akberlir just doesn't bother to play with any wrists, but he wants to play wrists, definitely no worse than anyone else!

He knew that he couldn't let these guys who were full of good feelings for the Japanese go back like this, and he couldn't let those Japanese wounded soldiers become people who were far away from the battlefield under their protection.

After rolling his eyes a few times, he said, "Colonel Desi Jianshi Novich!" Go to the beast right away, and say there's a bunch of unarmed guys waiting for him to clean up! ”

After hearing the general's words, Desi Jianshi Novoch was taken aback: "General, isn't this good?" The Germans and the British will protest to us. ”

A treacherous smile appeared on Ackberil's face. Said slowly: "Therefore, we will redeem these people from Yang Xiaolin's hands in the future!" Tell him that we will ransom the Westerners in the future, and as for the Japanese, let him do it himself. ”

Of course, Yang Xiaolin would not refuse such a good thing. A bunch of guys who don't have weapons, and there are people who pay for reservations, even if Yang is already Commander Yang, but it's a fool not to eat such a kidnapping ticket! He very happily told Colonel Desi Jiansnovich that in the future the Russians would come to ransom him. He gave a 20% discount, or 50% off.

At half past seven, when the Russian artillery began to pour down on the heads of the Japanese, these gentlemen from Europe were very glad that, apart from the occasional shell that missed the line and landed in their area, the Russians apparently did not really include this place in their bombardment.

As for the accidental injury caused by such a situation, Hauffman and Hamilton discussed it. It was decided that when he returned home, he would disclose to the newspapers in his country that he must condemn the barbarism of the Russians, but if the Russian generals could also show them a friendly word like Kuroki Yuzhen, perhaps they would forget the unpleasantness. …,

Unbeknownst to them, Akburier was not an Oriental. His way of behaving is completely different from that of Kuroki Weizhen, and I wonder if this group of observers, who are also Westerners, can accept it.

The three-hour shelling made it impossible for the Japanese positions to withstand the Russian attack. Mark and another American journalist's cameras, which captured the bloody scenes of the battlefield, were sure to resonate with the visuals.

As soon as the Russians finished shelling, the battle on the ground began. At this time, the strength of the Japanese Guards Division was vividly embodied!

Although they no longer have any hope of turning the tables, those little Japan still resist to the death. If there is a commander team, they will fight under the leadership of the commander, and those individual soldiers scattered on the battlefield will not retreat.

Such tenacity made Lao Maozi pay a heavy price. It also makes the battlefield extremely bloody.

Of course, the Japanese could only be tenacious, and the price they made the Russians pay was not enough to repel the Russian attack. The crowd of the Russian team slowly tore apart the positions of the Japanese troops.

As a war correspondent. Mr. Mark took enough pictures to shake everyone's heart, and his film quickly ran out, and he hurriedly took another tube out of his pocket to replace it.

Before the film had been changed, he suddenly felt a stirring from the people around him, some wounded Japanese soldiers, who were actually struggling to find something suitable nearby that could be used as weapons. Mark didn't know what was going on, and turned his head in the eyes of the men. I saw a force rushing towards them!

The Earl of Hamilton had obviously seen this too, and his face had become very ugly in an instant! Hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, everyone! We are in a non-belligerent zone here! ”

The Count told others not to panic. But the look on his face told others that he was very nervous: "Hao Fuman, let these people lay down their weapons!" They must lay down their arms, otherwise this is not a non-combat zone! Major Smir, immediately send a telegram to the embassy saying that we have been attacked! The rest of me go to the door with me to stop them, hurry! ”

Although the earl was flustered, he was not out of proportion. Under his arrangement, Hafman began to collect the sticks and stones from the hands of the wounded Japanese soldiers, and a dozen blonde men strode forward, trying to stop the unit that was charging towards them.

Mark suddenly rushed up from the side: "Hamilton, you can't go over!" Those are not Russians, they are the troops of Yang fighting ghosts! The wisest thing to do right now is to find a safe place to stay! ”

Hamilton was stunned for a moment, Yang fought the ghost troops? Is the beast really here? He suddenly understood something at this moment, and scolded fiercely: "Damn Russians, they played us like monkeys!" ”
