But I found that every one of them was weak and powerless.
Even Sun Chihai himself was so hungry that he felt dizzy and had to hold on to the wall when walking.
Yes, this is all a Japanese strategy.
Hunger can torture people and make them surrender. At the same time, it reduces the danger and eliminates the enemy's ability to resist.
No matter how many prisoners of war are imprisoned, as long as the food is strictly controlled, the prisoners of war will be unable to resist.
If you don’t have the strength to walk, how can you resist?
Fortunately, Sun Chihai and others found some food in the kitchen of the Japanese military police. However, the amount of food was not large, so everyone could only eat in small portions.
The order is pretty good. No one is fighting. Everyone queues up to get the food.
Zhang Chu was standing guard outside with a gun in hand.
Look back and observe from time to time.
Judging from the queue situation, the quality of the prisoners of war is pretty good.
He must have received relatively strict training before. Both his discipline and obedience are good.
If you can join the Eighth Route Army...
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
There were still gunshots outside.
There were gunshots from Type 38 rifles and gunshots from Ying 77.
Ying Qiqi's gunshots seem to be more intensive?
It was amazing. Those twenty or thirty bandits were not killed.
Is the combat effectiveness of the Japanese military police so poor?
Little did they know, the ones he gave to those bandits were Ying 77 rifles with enough bullets.
The bandits who were selected into the city all had some skills. Each of them had a good shooting speed, especially when using rifles like Ying Qiqi.
Ten round magazine.
Rotating bolt action.
Jean Ying Qiqi's shooting speed is extremely fast.
More than twenty British 77 rifles fired continuously, causing heavy losses to the Japanese military police who had no heavy weapons.
The Japanese military police were caught off guard.
They don't have machine guns.
There are no grenades either.
They are military police. The military police only have Type 38 rifles.
Or a tortoise box.
How can such a weapon be used against Ying Qiqi?
No matter what, among bolt-action rifles, Ying Qiqi is also the most powerful one.
"idiot!"
"Kill Chirp!"
"Kill Chirp!"
The Japanese military police were furious after being beaten.
He was actually bullied by a group of bandits!
Really!
The Japanese military police launched a frantic counterattack and were immediately killed.
Those bandits also knew that they had caused trouble and provoked the Japanese. However, they had no way out. Resistance would mean death. Failure to resist would also mean death.
Of course I chose to resist.
If you kill one, you won't lose. If you kill two, you will gain one.
Although the Japanese invaders were ferocious, the weapons in their hands were not vegetarian. They were even easier to use than the Japanese invaders' rifles.
"idiot!"
The Japanese military policeman Zuo was anxious and angry.
He never expected that there would be a large group of people armed with weapons attacking the gendarmerie!
That's ridiculous.
Incredible.
Who let these bandits in?
What were the Japanese troops outside doing? How did they inspect it? How could there be such a big mistake?
"What?"
"The gendarmerie was attacked?"
"How can it be……"
Saburo Saito received the report and felt incredible.
Bandits attack gendarmerie!
He's actually a bandit!
Whose bandits are so brave?
Do you dare to break into Taiyuan City and carry out an attack? And you also carry weapons and ammunition?
Who put it in?
Damn it!
We must investigate carefully when we go back!
How many people must be killed!
He didn't dare to alarm Yoshio Shinozuka and immediately ordered the garrison to send out reinforcements.
How many people are dispatched?
One squadron is enough.
Just twenty or thirty bandits. How many people are needed?
In fact, one squadron was enough. But for safety reasons, a squadron was dispatched.
Then……
Just don't care.
They were just a group of bandits, what did he need to worry about?
Ever since Neji Okamura took office, Yoshio Shinozuka has been very silent. He cleans his sword every day.
It gives the impression that suicide by caesarean section is possible at any time.
It is also possible to kill others.
so……
Just don't alert the commander.
If the headquarters gets angry, there will definitely be many officers below who will be ordered to have their bodies disemboweled.
Saburo Saito boasted that he loved his soldiers as much as his own son, and he was very good at reporting good news but not bad news.
But I don’t know…
Things are getting serious...
"I'll go out and take a look!"
"You guys eat your fill first."
Zhang Chu yawned, holding a gun, and came out from behind.
It was actually boring to watch other people eating. He was already full and had nothing to do. Then he heard the gunshots outside and finally couldn't hold it any longer.
Some prisoners of war who had finished eating immediately followed Zhang Chu, preparing to fight out together.
Zhang Chu swaggered out and met a few sporadic Japanese invaders.
"Peng!"
"Peng!"
Killed easily.
The prisoners of war who followed behind immediately picked up their weapons.
"No!"
"You use submachine guns!"
Zhang Chu shook his head.
The Type 38 rifle is also called the Type 38 rifle, and its performance has long lagged behind.
That is to say, the weapons of the Chinese army in the past were too poor, so this weapon was rare. In the era of semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and assault rifles, it has long been outdated.
If you want strong firepower, your first choice is Bobosha.
Summon airdrop.
"puff!"
"puff!"
The heavy package landed.
All those dropped were Bobosha submachine guns.
All the prisoners of war had shining eyes.
Did this fall from the sky?
"airdrop!"
"It was dropped by a plane!"
"Pick it up quickly!"
Zhang Chu shouted and opened the package.
Distribute the Bobosha submachine guns and drum magazines inside to all prisoners of war.
Briefly explain how to use it.
These prisoners of war all have combat experience. They can get through it with just one click.
Just then, twenty or thirty Japanese military policemen tried to fight back.
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
There was a burst of submachine gun fire.
More than twenty Japanese military policemen fell immediately.
In front of a large number of submachine guns, the Type 38 rifles in the hands of the Japanese military police were just like fire sticks!
Cool!
The prisoners of war immediately cheered up.
Although the food is limited and everyone is not full, they have regained some strength.
Moreover, their bodies can withstand it invisibly. If they eat too much, something might happen to them. If they eat too much at once after being hungry for a long time, they will die from exhaustion.
Zhang Chu also learned this knowledge from the American TV series "Band of Brothers".
Now, they have powerful weapons in their hands. Everyone is anxious to kill the Japanese invaders and avenge themselves and their compatriots.
"Consultant Zhang!"
"Consultant Zhang!"
Sun Chihai followed.
There was a person following next to him. He felt vaguely familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was.
"What's up?"
"Commander Zhang, his name is Jiang Yongwei. He is the company commander of the Shaanxi Army."
"Jiang Yongwei?"
Zhang Chu suddenly remembered.
Why does it look familiar? It turns out to be Jiang Chuwei.
Jiang Chuwei is also from the Shaanxi Army.
"Do you know Jiang Chuwei? The battalion commander of the Shaanxi Army..."
"my brother?"
Jiang Yongwei suddenly screamed.
Zhang Chu:......
Okay. The earth is really small. We can all encounter this.
Both brothers were captured by the Japanese invaders and then rescued by themselves. Is this considered fate? Or are they in trouble?
"Jiang Chuwei is your brother?"
"Yes. We are all from the Fifth Army."
"Not the Fourth Army?"
"We have been transferred to the Fifth Army."
"oh……"
Zhang Chu seemed to understand.
Why were so many Shaanxi troops captured?
It should be the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain at the end of last year. It's not the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain.
The Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain took place in the summer of 1941.
Last year, the Japanese invaders continued to launch attacks on Zhongtiao Mountain in an attempt to eliminate the largest obstacle north of the Yellow River. But they failed.
Because the Fourth Group Army stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain turned out to be the Shaanxi Army. It was better at fighting. Although the weapons and equipment were poor and the ammunition was insufficient, most of the soldiers were very brave and fought bloody battles. They defeated the Japanese invaders' conspiracy. But it also caused
Jiang was suspicious and worried that the Shaanxi army would threaten his own safety.
So Jiang transferred the Fifth Army and the Fourteenth Army to sandwich the Shaanxi Army in the middle to prevent the Shaanxi Army from "causing chaos".
The combat effectiveness of the Fifth and Fourteenth Group Armies is extremely low. Their commanders, Zeng Wanzhong and Liu Maoen, are both mediocre people. They only want to make money and line their own pockets. After arriving at Zhongtiao Mountain, they bought and sold on a large scale, and even planted crops.
Heavy smoke and the sale of smoke and soil have turned Zhongtiao Mountain into a smoky mess.
It just so happened that Wei Lihuang, the commander of the First War Zone, and Mr. Jiang were having trouble again. Mr. Jiang no longer trusted Wei Lihuang, so he put him under house arrest in Chongqing. As a result, the situation in Zhongtiao Mountain became worse and worse. Almost no one
Preparing for war. Most of the soldiers are either farming, growing tobacco, or selling tobacco.
As a result, in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain next year, the national army, as the defender, unexpectedly ran out of food within three days of the battle. It was shocking.
The Japanese attacked thousands of miles away without running out of food. When you were stationed at Zhongtiao Mountain, you actually ran out of food?
All in all, it was a complete mess and ultimately a disastrous failure.
Even Chiang Kai-shek publicly admitted that this was the most humiliating battle he fought during the Anti-Japanese War.
Deeply ashamed.
But now, the Japanese invaders have too much time to take care of themselves, and they definitely no longer have the ability to attack Zhongtiao Mountain. The Japanese 20th Division stationed in Yuncheng is also dead.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Japanese aggressors would fight hard even though they were trapped, and go crazy before dying.
"Are those prisoners of war members of your Shaanxi Army?"
"No. Many of them are from the original 14th Army Group."
"How come there are so many prisoners?"
"Since the Japanese invaders, the commander has run away. What else can we do?"
"oh……"
Zhang Chu was speechless.
This 14th Army Group is indeed a stretch.
But it seems they are not the culprits. Their purpose in coming to Zhongtiao Mountain is to add sand to the Shaanxi army.
Or to put it more bluntly, it is to "solve" the Shaanxi Army.
The Xi'an Incident was a great humiliation to Chiang. How could he let it go if he was so vengeful?
Zhang Xueliang was placed under house arrest, Yang Hucheng was imprisoned, and all Shaanxi troops were disbanded.
Through military orders, it was Chiang's strategy to continuously transfer Shaanxi Army troops to other units piecemeal and then "solve" them.
There is no doubt that these Shaanxi troops who were transferred to the 14th Group Army were the first wave of cannon fodder.
...that's too far.
"How many of you are there in total?"
"Five hundred and thirty-seven."
"Can everyone move?"
"good."
Jiang Yongwei replied secretly.
Zhang Chu:......
Okay, I asked about his pain point.
Of course, those left behind by the Japanese invaders were able to move freely.
Those who cannot move freely must have been killed by the Japanese invaders. The Japanese invaders will not want anyone who is unable to move freely or who is useless.
If it were not for the lack of labor, the Japanese invaders would not even have left any prisoners of war.
At the beginning of the war, the Japanese invaders slaughtered all the prisoners of war. No one was left alive.
It was later that a large amount of free labor, or slaves, was needed, so some prisoners of war were retained. Some prisoners of war were even sent to the distant South Pacific to build fortifications.
For example, people like Sun Chihai who are missing an arm are probably the ones who will be killed in the next wave.
"By the way, there are other prisoners of war in the city."
"where?"
"I don't know the specific location. It may be near the Japanese military camp."
"Why are there so many prisoners of war?"
"The Japanese invaders wanted to build defense buildings. They couldn't find so many workers at the moment, so they had to gather all the prisoners of war."
"I see."
Zhang Chu understood.
It seemed like he was the one causing the trouble.
Last time in Baoding, the Japanese invaders also tried their best to capture strong men to build fortifications. In the end, they were used by themselves.
Perhaps, this time in Taiyuan, we can also copy it?
It's easy as long as there are people.
Weapons and ammunition are not a problem! Military uniforms and food are also available.
It blooms directly in the center of Taiyuan City.
It was too late last time in Peiping. There should be no surprises this time.
"You organize the personnel immediately."
"Temporarily form a battalion. You will be the battalion commander."
"I am responsible for providing weapons and ammunition, military uniforms, food, etc."
Zhang Chu said quickly.
At the same time, turn on the recovery radar to observe the movements of the Japanese aggressors.
Get ready for a big fight.
Since there are already more than 500 people, artillery must be sent out.
The 75mm field artillery cannot be delivered. However, the 81mm mortars can be air-dropped without restrictions. The same goes for artillery shells. You can have as many as you want.
The artillery bombing wasn't as satisfying last time.
This time, Yoshio Shinozuka must be shaken out of his psychological shadow.
