The Japanese troops in the encirclement actually raised the white flag!
A Japanese officer tied a white cloth to his rifle, climbed up shakily from the wilderness, and walked towards the Chinese army that was gradually approaching.
Obviously, he came with the order of his commander. At this time, it may not be negotiation, but surrender.
The infantry battalion commander leading the team was a little at a loss. He ordered the Japanese officer who came to negotiate from a distance to stay dozens of meters away, and then ordered the signal troops to go and report to several regiment commanders who were discussing how to annihilate the enemy.
Including Tang Dao, almost all Chinese commanders were a little distracted for a moment.
They have all fought many battles with the Japanese army, and they have not experienced the battlefield of surrounding the Japanese army and annihilating them. There are also individual Japanese soldiers who choose to surrender at the last moment, but when more than a hundred Japanese troops form an organized group and choose to surrender, then
It's really the first time I've seen it.
"Damn it, that little devil wants to give in now, it's too late! Just talk about it, tell that little devil, and tell his captain to clean my neck and wait for them to come and chop it off." The first one reacted.
Wang Xiaoqiang stared at his big eyes and yelled.
"Old Wang, don't be so angry. Since the little Japanese wants to surrender, you might as well ask him to come over and listen to him talk about how to surrender. If it works, we can not only kill these Japanese troops without firing a shot, but also give the division headquarters
Why not send a group of prisoners?" The leader of the 771st Regiment, who was older and more mature, waved his hand and persuaded.
"Old Chen, tell me, what do you think?" Wang Xiaoqiang, who had a violent personality, was reluctant to quarrel when he saw someone objecting, so he turned his attention to the young leader of the 769th Regiment.
"The leader is not here. I think we have to listen to Commander Tang's opinion. He is the person here who has the most dealings with the Japanese army." The young commander with a calm expression looked at Tang Dao.
No wonder this person is the one with the highest achievements among the three in the future. His IQ and EQ are all top-notch. When Tang Dao heard what this person said, he immediately understood what he meant.
Although the three of them are all in the same division, the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment belong to the same brigade. The 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment have disagreements on whether to accept the surrender of the Japanese army. They asked him, the commander of a different brigade, to speak.
No matter what you say, you will offend one of them.
But Tang Dao is different. He is not in the 921st division and can express his opinions from his own standpoint. Moreover, Tang Dao definitely has the confidence to speak.
In this battle, it seems that the 921 Division spent a lot of money to dispatch four infantry regiments, which is the key to the entire battle. But as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see the role of the Four Infantry Regiments, it is already very difficult to conquer Li City with one regiment.
It was rare that after the war, they marched for dozens of miles continuously to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the main force of the Japanese army. To say that they took the most credit would be an understatement.
For this young regiment leader who is only 23 years old, if the Four Lines Regiment had not provided several anti-tank guns and supported a large number of artillery shells, even if the Japanese invaders could be completely wiped out in this battle, the three infantry regiments would have to pay more than
2,000 people lost.
The young commander pushed Tang Dao out at this time, which was actually a personal statement: Commander Tang has made great achievements in battle, and what he said has weight! I support it!
Not only did he cleverly not get involved in the dispute between the two regiment-level cadres Wang and Xu, but he also expressed his recognition of Tang Dao. How high do you think his emotional intelligence is?
"Let me tell you! The 108th Infantry Regiment under the 108th Division committed heinous crimes in our province. Before our Fourth Army Regiment sent troops, I warned the entire Fourth Army Regiment that they would not accept the 108th Infantry Regiment's single soldier.
The surrender of the soldiers. In such a big battle, how much time do you have to distinguish and kill them all?" Tang Dao stood up and said with a faint smile on his face.
"I knew you would say that, brother!" Wang Xiaoqiang grinned at the leader of the 771st Regiment. "You stupid little devil has killed countless of our soldiers and civilians. Do you still want to live now?"
The leader of the 771st Regiment frowned slightly. This was the first time he saw Tang Dao, but he didn't expect this young man in his early 20s to be so murderous. However, Tang Dao fired thousands of rifles, machine guns and artillery.
He also got a lot of benefits from the 771st Regiment. There were two infantry companies with all Japanese weapons participating in the battle this time. They were both thanks to Tang Dao.
"However, the battlefield has been decided at this time. The more than 200 little Japs are not pigs. Even if we have thousands of people to fight, not to mention the waste of artillery shells, we will definitely have to pay some casualties. The lives of the Japanese are worthless, and the lives of our own brothers
But it's too precious to be thrown away for some worthless little devils." Tang Dao changed the subject. "Depending on what they say, it won't waste much time. Just use this time to let the brothers drink some water.
Eat something and fix yourself up. If the little devil wants to do some fancy work, it’s not too late to fight him!"
"Brother, you have to tell me the truth and the truth." Wang Xiaoqiang felt helpless and tapped the Tang Dao. "Okay! Just let them live a little longer as you say, brother!"
"I agree with what Commander Tang said!" A smile appeared at the corner of the young commander's mouth. "In this case, I would like to make a suggestion. How about leaving the negotiation with the little Japanese to surrender to Commander Tang to make the final decision? So that the four of us will not have to say anything to each other.
Yu, the little devil was scared to begin with, but later he was even more frightened."
"Old Chen! You, the leaders of our 921st Division, are the only ones who are clever. I don't know yet. You are clearly telling me what you said. Please stop talking!" Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes widened.
Yuan Geng complained bluntly.
Even though Wang Xiaoqiang was only the deputy leader, that was because he was given too few positions during the reorganization in July last year and was forced to be demoted. In fact, there were many captains and deputy leaders before that, their positions were at the same level, as long as they were not regular
In a military meeting, Wang Xiaoqiang will not neglect anyone present.
In fact, it won't be long before the 921st Division expands and several deputy regimental commanders led by Wang Xiaoqiang will become regimental commanders.
Several people present laughed when they heard what this upright person said!
"I agree!" The leader of the 771st Regiment also nodded in approval.
Before Brigadier Cheng arrived, Tang Dao also knew that instead of letting a few people discuss it one by one, it would be better for one person to stand up.
Negotiating with the Japanese army and accepting the surrender this time, if handled well, is also a skill. If he wants to gain a foothold in the 80th Army, he must not only be appreciated by the superiors, but also have the support of these mainstay regiment-level cadres.
And these group leaders are all fought in blood and fire. To gain their recognition, ability is the first factor.
"Okay, since you elder brothers think highly of me, I will be disrespectful!" Tang Dao nodded and looked at the signal soldier. "First, search the Japanese soldiers responsible for the negotiations. Remember, you can't let go of the leather boots. After the inspection, let them go.
He comes here."
A small detail, but recognition flashed in the young leader's eyes.
This shows that although Tang Dao is young, he is by no means the kind of person who gets carried away easily. Even in such a situation where he is completely dominant, he will never relax.
In case the Japanese have some intentions, there are four regiment-level cadres here, let alone one or two, even if one or two are injured, then today's battle will be won, but also lost.
As a second lieutenant of the 103rd Infantry Regiment, Kuroki Komatsu had many dreams before entering China.
He dreamed that he would become famous, become a major general in the army with full medals, and return home with honor! His parents smiled like flowers at that moment, and the face of the girl under the cherry blossom tree was even more beautiful than the cherry blossoms.
He also dreamed that he was covered in blood, lying on the battlefield and taking his last breath! His bones were burned to ashes, put into a small wooden box, and sent back to his hometown across the ocean!
He also dreamed that the girl who had been waiting for him for several years under the cherry blossom trees in his hometown finally married the fat son of the landlord at the entrance of the village with tears in his eyes!
But whether it was a dream or a nightmare, Second Lieutenant Kuroki Komatsu never imagined that one day he would raise a white flag and beg for surrender to the Chinese soldiers.
Yes, when Colonel Koshiminami Goto ordered him to go to the Chinese positions alone to seek the possibility of negotiation, a deep sense of shame filled his chest.
He once wanted to scold the army colonel for his cowardice, but when he thought about his death, his parents would shed tears of grief, and the girl who was waiting for him would have no choice but to marry that wealthy but greasy fat man, all his courage disappeared.
The name of the so-called warrior of the Imperial Japanese Army may have been shattered the moment he inserted the white cloth into the 38-style bayonet and raised it high!
When Kuroki Komatsu walked towards the Chinese position, he did not look back at his colleagues who were still lying on the position. He was not only afraid of seeing their contemptuous eyes, but also afraid of seeing through the truth hidden behind the contempt.
Stay alive!
Like Kuroki Komatsu, they have worked hard for the honor of the Imperial Army, fighting for several hours against enemy forces several times their own, but now it is impossible to break out of the siege. In a desperate situation, they just want to live, live.
Return to hometown.
Therefore, when the Chinese soldiers "arrogantly" asked the Japanese second lieutenant to take off his shirt, pants and even boots for inspection, Kuroki Komatsu was heartbroken and did it one by one.
This is the right of the winner!
But, that's not all.
"You guys, how do you want to surrender?" The young Chinese officer was much more direct than Kuroki Komatsu imagined.
"His Excellency Colonel Goto has told me that the situation of this battle has been decided. In order to prevent unnecessary casualties for both armies, if your ministry can guarantee the personal safety of our officers and soldiers, and promise to treat all our officers and soldiers as prisoners of war as stipulated in the Geneva Convention,
, and if conditions permit in the future, our officers and soldiers will be released to return, and our troops will lay down their weapons and give up resistance!" Kuroki Komatsu replied after being silent for a while.
This was already the result of his efforts to beautify the original words spoken by Gotou Koshiminami. The Japanese Army Colonel's original words did not admit surrender. He preferred it to be a negotiation.
Until now, Goto Koshiminami still maintains the so-called pride of the Imperial Army. He wants to live but does not want to admit surrender. It is extremely typical of him to act and stand at the same time.
Ever since he took off his clothes and was inspected under the eyes of extremely hateful eyes, the Japanese army second lieutenant knew that Goto Osaka was too wishful thinking. The Chinese soldiers here may not want to accept the surrender of themselves and others. What they want most is,
Slaughter them all like cattle and horses.
How the imperial infantry dealt with their tribesmen, they will deal with themselves, which is actually fair. Thinking of the unblinking eyes of the Chinese people who were nailed to the walls of country houses, disemboweled and died in pain, Kuroki Komatsu became more and more angry.
fear.
"Give up resistance?" Tang Dao looked at the Japanese second lieutenant who looked a little cautious in front of him, with a trace of ridicule on his lips. "Your Excellency, your colonel, wants to be treated as a formal prisoner of war, but he doesn't even want to admit surrender? Then there is
Are you waiting for a good thing? Then you go back and tell me that since the invaders invaded our country, we, the Chinese soldiers and civilians, have vowed to fight the invaders to the end. Matters of life and death have long been beyond our concern.
Moreover, I am sure that in 10 minutes, only 10 minutes, our army can kill you all in this wilderness, and I, Tang Dao, can give you a chance to watch the time."
"No, no, Mr. Tang, don't get me wrong!" Fear flashed in Kuroki Komatsu's eyes, and he denied it repeatedly. "You can tell me your conditions, and I will tell the truth to the Colonel!"
"Okay! Isn't it much happier to say this!" Tang Dao nodded. "First, your troops need to pile all the weapons together, and then everyone kneels 100 meters away from the weapons, raising their hands and waiting for our army to accept the surrender!
Secondly, all surrendering bandits must sign and fingerprint the surrender document prepared by our department, otherwise our department will not provide formal prisoner of war treatment!
Thirdly, and most importantly, our unit has sworn before sending troops that in view of the atrocities committed by the 108th Infantry Regiment on our soil, we will not accept the surrender of one soldier by the 108th Infantry Regiment. Therefore, among the infantry units that should surrender,
Our department does not want to see anyone from the 108th Infantry Regiment!"
"This" Kuroki Komatsu was shocked.
On the way here, he had thought about how harsh the Chinese people's conditions would be, but he never thought they would be so harsh.
Whether it is the first or the second article, it is difficult to accept! Is there any reason for people to kneel and still raise their hands to surrender? And signing and fingerprinting the surrender document is a nail in the coffin of everyone's active surrender.
Putting on the coffin board is almost like carving the word "surrender" on your forehead. As soon as the signature is published, these people will never be able to get over the humiliation in their lifetime.
Of course, compared with the third article, these two are actually nothing! The Chinese actually refused to surrender to the 108th Infantry Regiment.
That means you can live if you want, but you have to hand over your name to me and kill the people of the 108th Infantry Regiment.
Not to mention that the Japanese Army second lieutenant was devastated when he left. Even many Chinese officers themselves felt that the Japanese army would not agree.
Just like Wang Xiaoqiang said with great joy: "The little devils will definitely not agree to such harsh conditions. They will definitely fight hard. I will personally pick off the head of their bullshit commander this time!"
The calm commander of the 771st Regiment did not quarrel with Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang this time. He reached out and called one of his battalion commanders and whispered to him: "Let all the commanders and soldiers of the regiment take the time to rest and prepare for battle!"
But the young regiment leader shook his head slightly and gave a thumbs up to Tang Dao: "Commander Tang's move really drove the Japanese to death! If they surrender, they will really surrender!"
You can see through Tang Dao's layout at a glance. This man is definitely one of the most outstanding soldiers Tang Dao has encountered since he came to this time and space.
Tang Dao's first two conditions have exceeded the psychological bottom line of the Japanese army, but in order to survive, Tang Dao believes that they will agree.
The last condition was to push the Japanese army's bottom line to hell. It was impossible to agree to it originally, but what is extremely true is that when a person's bottom line has been crossed, there is no bottom line left.
How could His Excellency Colonel Goto agree? The key point is that he is still the captain of the 108th Infantry Regiment.
The Japanese army second lieutenant's head almost exploded and he walked back in a daze.
But what horrified him was that his mind was no longer focused on the two already harsh conditions, but was actually calculating the proportion of the 108th Infantry Regiment among the more than 200 remaining troops.
The 108th Infantry Regiment sent only one escort squadron in total this time. It lost two infantry squads on the frontal battlefield. Only a dozen people escaped. One infantry squadron on the rear flank battlefield was completely wiped out. In the previous onboard charge, in order to boost morale,
, Goto Koshiminami even organized his last escort team into the forward, and no one survived.
That means that there will never be more than 15 people belonging to the 108th Infantry Regiment around Goto Koshiminami.
This is the human heart! Kindness and preciousness are like springs in the desert, they can be annihilated at any time, but once dark thoughts sprout, they will quickly grow into towering trees!
If you are originally a devil, why would you care about becoming a devil?
The Chinese are really devils! The Japanese Army second lieutenant, who kept counting how many people were around the Japanese Army Colonel, was walking while angrily cursing Tang Dao for making harsh demands.
But his footsteps became more and more determined as he walked!
Obviously, the countless light and heavy machine guns he saw along the way and the dirty but murderous Chinese soldiers had already made him make a decision.
Kuroki Komatsu, who returned to his own position, did not immediately report to a certain colonel who was sitting in a single soldier bunker. Instead, he went directly to his infantry team first. Then, two second lieutenants wearing bandages rushed to his
Infantry squad.
Those are the three largest infantry squads among the remaining Japanese troops. They all belong to the 103rd Infantry Regiment!
It didn't take long before intensive gunshots rang out from the Japanese army's position!
The hundreds of Japanese soldiers on the periphery were confused, but by the time they responded, only one minute later, the gunfire from inside had ended.
Dozens of people besieging a dozen people who were unprepared, and when their combat power levels were comparable, it really wasn't that troublesome.
"Colonel Koshiminami Goto has trampled on the glory of the Imperial Army. If he surrenders, it will be even more shameful for the division. Therefore, we will kill him!" Second Lieutenant Kuroki Komatsu waved the honor of the Imperial Army. No one can
Argument.
Even if the entire army is later announced to surrender to the Chinese army!
Once the Japanese army makes a decision, it will be thorough and will not be sloppy.
According to Tang Dao regulations, the weapons were piled in one place, and the soldiers all knelt more than a hundred meters away, with their heads lowered and their hands raised!
It turns out that Japanese people are also so eggless!
That scene even made many Chinese soldiers feel that it was more satisfying than killing them!
