Chapter 147: The Incident of Killing Devils and Injuring Soldiers
Chapter 147 The Incident of Killing Japanese and Wounding Soldiers
"Quick, dismount immediately and seize advantageous terrain. Go ahead and bring a light machine gun from the enemy's door. Build a machine gun position immediately. You must not let the enemy get heavy weapons." Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were getting closer and closer,
The first company commander loudly ordered to the soldiers behind him.
Soon, the soldiers found their hiding place, and a light machine gun that had been seized by the Japanese was set up by the soldiers. "Hit..." Looking at the Japanese who were already close at hand, the first company commander shouted loudly, the only thing
A light machine gun immediately sprayed out flames.
A few unprepared Japs were instantly swept away by the violent rain of bullets. The remaining Japs immediately lay down on the ground and confronted the soldiers. Soldiers from both sides began to shoot at each other. After all, the number of soldiers was too large.
Several times more than the Japs. In less than a minute, two Japs were shot in succession. In addition to the soldiers who had just been hit by machine guns, there were only five Japs left in the squad who came to receive heavy weapons. But.
These five people did not flinch in the face of flying bullets, but occupied several blind spots and continued to confront the soldiers...
"The first squad and the machine gun continue to confront the Japanese. The remaining people and I will go into the Japanese military camp to clean up the Japanese wounded soldiers and prevent them from causing trouble behind our backs." Looking at the few Japanese, the first company commander ordered.
Almost all the barracks in the Japanese army camp were converted into wards, and more than 100 wounded Japanese soldiers were lying in the barracks. The gunshots outside had long awakened these Japanese soldiers. However, most of the injured soldiers were unable to move.
Although he wanted to join the fight when he heard the gunfire outside, there was nothing he could do. Only a dozen soldiers with good legs and feet crawled to the door dragging the rifles in the barracks.
I saw dozens of soldiers wearing their own military uniforms at the entrance of the military camp, constantly firing their guns, and confronting the (enemy) outside the military camp. After a while, the gunfire outside slowly became sparse. At this moment,
Dozens of soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the military camp walked toward the barracks with guns in hand.
"The garrison team has repelled the enemy's attack. Long live..." Looking at the soldiers getting closer and closer, the Japanese wounded soldiers lying at the door ready to hold on shouted loudly. Then, each of the nervous wounded soldiers suddenly became relaxed.
No more worrying about your life.
"Company commander, there are Japanese soldiers with guns at the door of the barracks." A squad leader beside the first company commander whispered in his ear. "Well, I saw it, let the soldiers be ready for battle at any time, don't show mercy, as long as
Any Japanese who resist will be destroyed by me." The company commander nodded and said. After receiving the order, the soldiers quietly loaded the rifles in their hands. At the same time, they also held a grenade with the safety in their hands...
"Bang" a bullet hit the company commander's feet. It turned out to be a Japanese wounded soldier from the garrison team. He found that the dozens of soldiers in front of him looked very strange and were not from his team. After carefully observing their military uniforms, he found that
Many military uniforms did not fit, so I immediately became wary, and then a bullet hit the leader, the first company commander, at the foot, trying to get the company commander to stop.
"No, the Japanese seem to have discovered it. Comrades, drop bombs." Faced with the bullets at his feet, the company commander did not panic and wisely gave the order to attack. Immediately, more than twenty grenades were thrown out from the hands of the soldiers.
, aiming directly at the Japanese barracks. Looking at the grenades flying towards his own barracks, the wounded Japanese soldier who first discovered the abnormality couldn't help but show despair in his eyes. "Baga, the enemy is attacking" the desperate wounded soldier shouted loudly, and at the same time
The index finger that pulled the trigger also moved.
With a "bang" gunshot, the company commander clutched his bleeding chest and fell crookedly. Looking at the enemy who fell under his gun, the desperate Japs smiled. However, he didn't know that it was because of him
A single shot aroused the anger in the hearts of the soldiers.
"Company commander, company commander," looking at the company commander who fell to the ground, the soldiers shouted loudly, "comrades, the company commander has sacrificed his life, avenge the company commander, kill the Japanese... kill..." A platoon commander faced
The soldiers behind him roared with anger on their faces.
"Kill the Japanese..." the soldiers roared in unison, fired the bullets from their rifles, and rushed towards the ruins that had been blown up by grenades.
I originally thought that it would be an easy task to deal with these Japanese wounded soldiers, but that was not what caught the eyes of the platoon commander. First, the company commander fell under the gunfire of the Japanese, and then, when the soldiers rushed
When entering the Japanese barracks, all the injured Japanese soldiers who could move around were not afraid of the avatars. They were looking for everything they could use, and they were constantly fighting with the soldiers. Some Japanese soldiers even took weapons from the soldiers.
Let's drop grenades and die together...
Looking at his comrades who kept falling, the platoon leader's eyes turned red. "Comrades, be careful. I don't want anyone alive. Use your guns and grenades to kill these beasts. If anything happens, I will take the responsibility."
responsibility……"
After receiving the order, the soldiers no longer had to worry about killing the Japanese prisoners. Every soldier's face was full of murderous intent. He was angry at the enemy's animal behavior and felt sad and indignant for the sacrifice of his comrades. "Kill, kill, kill... what's left is
The surviving soldiers roared loudly and inserted bayonets into the chests of wounded Japanese soldiers. Hand grenades were thrown into the Japanese barracks mercilessly by the soldiers. The entire Japanese barracks was full of
Bloody.
Finally, after the special operations brigade arrived, the soldiers who were driven crazy by the Japs' blood slowly stopped killing. However, at this time, only a few of the nearly 200 wounded in the entire Japs camp were left.
, and these were the wounded Japanese soldiers who could not move. Facing the remaining seriously wounded Japanese soldiers who had no chance of surviving, the squadron leader of the second squadron who rushed over could only shake his head and let them fend for themselves...
…
Under the strong attack of the second squadron and a cavalry platoon, a Japanese garrison team was completely wiped out. Of course, the cavalry platoon also paid nearly a squad of casualties in the process of exterminating the Japanese wounded soldiers. In order not to attract the attention of the Japanese, it affected
His marching speed was such that after capturing Wuxiang, the soldiers quickly used the four captured vehicles to transport away a large amount of weapons and equipment left by the Japanese in Wuxiang, and successfully returned to the temporary military camp.
However, in the face of the fact that the soldiers of the cavalry battalion killed nearly 200 Japanese and wounded soldiers, discordant discussions arose in the conference room of the temporary military camp. Some veteran soldier cadres from the Red Army demanded strict handling of the killing of prisoners by the cavalry.
After all, our Eighth Route Army is not a Japanese army and has a policy of preferential treatment for prisoners. If every soldier kills prisoners at will like a cavalry battalion, then is the Eighth Route Army still a people's army?'
Of course, the cavalry battalion also has its own version. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion were forced to resist after the Japanese wounded soldiers resisted. Moreover, the Japanese wounded soldiers did not put down their weapons at that time, and they were not prisoners of our army at all.
, so the behavior of the cavalry battalion does not count as killing prisoners. "Of course, this kind of thought occupies a large proportion in the hearts of the soldiers. After all, the beastly behavior of the devils has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the soldiers. The devils are in everyone's mind.
In addition to hatred, there is still hatred in my heart... Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, there is nothing wrong with killing Japanese soldiers and wounded soldiers, and there are many soldiers who think that this incident in the cavalry battalion is a very happy thing...
Facing the two disputing parties, Wang Hu and Liu Xiaogang decided to leave the decision-making matter to the commander. Therefore, a telegram with detailed information about the incident was sent to Liu Hua's temporary headquarters. After sending
After receiving the telegram, everyone sat in silence at the headquarters, waiting for the results...
Not long after, a decision was sent to the cavalry regiment regarding the killing of Japanese wounded soldiers; "After discussion at the headquarters, when the cavalry companies and platoons killed Japanese wounded soldiers, they did so under the condition of complete resistance from the Japanese.
It does not belong to the killing of prisoners, and you do not need to bear any responsibility. In addition, in any future battles, whether it is an injured enemy or a foreigner, as long as he has not put down his arms and is still resisting, all the soldiers of the independent brigade must be aligned and shot.
There is no need to consider the prisoner policy..."
After reading the telegram, several cadres of the cavalry battalion finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, in this telegram, they also saw the commander and political commissar's policy towards the Japanese. As long as you don't surrender and don't lay down your weapons, I can kill you.
As for those soldiers and cadres who insisted on punishing the cavalry battalion, after reading the telegram, they still wanted to argue a few words and wanted to point out the policies of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army to explain their correctness. However, when they saw what was behind the telegram
When signing, everyone had no choice but to say nothing. Because this telegram was not decided by Liu Hua himself. After all, this matter was related to the future policy of the Independent Brigade towards the enemy. Therefore, after reading the telegram, Liu Hua
I forwarded my thoughts to Guan Xiangying, the political commissar who stayed at the base.
After reading the telegram that the Japanese were killed and injured, the political commissar was very angry at the time. After all, more than a hundred lives were lost. However, after seeing the opinions and analysis sent by the commander, as a political commissar who has been doing political work for a long time,
, felt the same way, so he immediately signed his name. Therefore, the decision was jointly signed by the political commissar and the commander.
Thus, the incident about the soldiers of the cavalry battalion killing the ghosts and wounded soldiers in order to avenge their company commanders and comrades ended. Encouraged by the victories in the past few days, the soldiers of about two battalions continued to fight against the ghosts on 117
Both sides of the regiment continued to carry out sneak attacks. Even at night, some soldiers were organized to harass the Japanese. The Japanese were so exhausted in the past two days that some even fell asleep during the march.
The Japanese commander, Colonel Okamoto, looked at the tired soldiers behind him. He was very worried and had no initial confidence in the upcoming encirclement and suppression campaign. Although he had repeatedly forwarded his worries and the situation of the troops to the North China Japanese Army Headquarters
, but received no substantial help except criticism and insults from the headquarters. The only thing that made Okamoto feel more balanced was that not only his own army was attacked continuously, but the other Eighth Route Army were also attacked continuously to varying degrees.
The attack caused a lot of damage...
Although Okamoto, as the captain of the regiment, is very doubtful about the combat effectiveness of his unit, he still believes that on the frontal battlefield, his regiment can resist a division of the Chinese army. Therefore, Okamoto still ignores the staff around him.
After being dissuaded by the commander, he desperately led the troops to Zhangjiazhuang, the focus of the raid. However, he did not know that because of his desperate measures, his 117th Regiment was slowly on the road to destruction.
