After a long time, Li Chenzhe slowly shook his head and whispered, "Compromise is absolutely impossible. Not to mention that if we compromise this time, we will not be able to complete the tasks assigned to us by the theater headquarters on time. More importantly, if
Once the news of this precedent spreads, once the Japanese are defeated in the future, everyone will threaten us with the common people, so how can we still fight? Should we just wait to die?"
As soon as Li Chenzhe's words came out, the middle-aged staff officer immediately became anxious and said hurriedly: "Master, if we also fight the common people, the Japanese will definitely publicize it, and then the reputation of our fourth theater in China will be ruined.
It all stinks, and Chief Su and the others may not agree with our approach, right?"
When Li Chenzhe heard this, he immediately became angry. He glared at the staff officer and shouted, "Then what do you think we should do? Are we just going to wait obediently for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive?"
The middle-aged staff officer said without thinking: "We can ask Commander Su for instructions first."
"You!"
After listening to the words of the middle-aged staff officer, Li Chenzhe and Wu Chengfeng both shook their heads secretly. The staff officer was right to worry about the people being kind, but he forgot that they were actually at war now, and countless lives were at stake every minute.
Life or death, in this critical moment, what is needed is for the military chief to make an immediate decision, rather than passing the problem to the superiors to solve, otherwise you, the military chief, will be unqualified. It seems that this person is the life of the staff officer.
Well, people with this kind of personality are simply not suitable for being independent.
At this time, Wu Chengfeng spoke. He waved his hand and said: "Since Lao Li you agree with me, it has been decided. The attack plan remains unchanged, but at the same time we must report this situation to the theater headquarters. No matter what
As a result, Commander Li and I will be responsible for everything, so please issue the order."
"yes!"
All the staff officers responded in unison. Although a few people still had objections to this order, they did not say anything more. After all, the most important thing in the army is to obey orders. Once the military commander gives an order,
They must execute it without hesitation, even if the order is wrong.
Seeing the staff officers going to convey the orders, Li Chenzhe smiled at Wu Chengfeng and said: "Old Wu, we brothers are going all out this time. Maybe you may be demoted, and I also have to go to the cavalry regiment to feed the horses.
Hello."
Wu Chengfeng smiled bitterly, "I don't know whether this is right or wrong, but I only know that if I don't do this, more people will be pressed into the battlefield by the Japanese in the future. As for whether it is right or wrong, let's leave it to that.
Let future generations comment..."
At this time, in a position of the Japanese army, Shimono Ikho looked at the rows of tied up civilians in front of the position and smiled proudly and said to the captain of the 13th Regiment, Aomori Masahito, "Aomori-kun, the Chinese are just hypocrites.
.With these Chinese people in front of us, those hypocritical Chinese people have never fired a cannonball at us, and we can wait for the arrival of reinforcements without any effort."
Seeing the satisfied Shimono Ikho, Aomori Masahito couldn't feel happy for some reason. He sighed and said: "Aomori-kun, I always wonder if doing this will anger the Chinese people too much, and if they stab me
If it reaches the media, it will damage the benevolent image of our Emperor."
"Image? What image?" Shimono Kazuhiro glanced at Aomori Masahito dissatisfiedly and said: "A truly qualified soldier must defeat his opponent by any means necessary, even if the opponent is not comparable to you, Aomori-kun, you
Remember, only the victors are qualified to talk about kindness. If you had understood this earlier, maybe your team would not have lost this morning."
A flash of green energy flashed across Aomori Masahito's face. Shimono Kazuhiro really couldn't open a pot, but he couldn't say anything. In any case, he had defeated the battle in the morning. Because he was angry, Aomori
Zhengren lowered his head and stopped talking, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment for a moment.
At this moment, there was a noise from the front. Aomori Masahito, who was in a irritable mood, turned around and saw that it was a group of tied people in the front position talking loudly to the Japanese soldiers guarding them behind them.
"idiot!"
Originally, Aomori Masahito was in a bad mood after being ridiculed by Shimono Ichiho. Now seeing this situation, he became even more angry. Feeling irritable, he immediately took out the command knife from his waist and walked forward.
Soon he came behind the people and asked loudly: "Would any of you tell me what is going on?"
Soon a soldier reported: "Your Excellency, Captain, these Chinese people are too unruly. They refused to continue to stand in front of the position as human shields and clamored to go back, so we reprimanded him."
"Nani, is there such a thing?" Aomori Masahito couldn't help but became furious when he heard that the Chinese people actually resisted the imperial army. He quickly walked to these people and took a look, and found that this
Almost all of the people in the team were old people, and there were also children of two and three years old. At this time, they were all tied up with ropes and strung up in a row, looking at him uprightly. Aomori Masahito's eyes revealed a fierce look.
With his eyes fixed, he yelled fiercely in half-baked Chinese: "You... have a very bad conscience. The Imperial Army is here to help you build the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and the Imperial Paradise. You actually treat the Imperial Army like this? Is it possible?
Do you want to rebel?"
It has to be said that Aomori Masahito originally didn't look very good. A pair of triangular eyes, a pie face, and a short but strong figure made him look particularly ugly. Coupled with the fierce expression and the bright command knife in his hand, he was indeed
It can frighten some timid people. Some old people and children who originally clamored to go back were so frightened by him that they dared not say a word, but nothing is absolute. Instead of shrinking, an old man stood up and said loudly: "You guys
He keeps saying that he will help us build a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, but then he arrests us and puts us here to die. Is this the promised land of the emperor you are talking about?"
"Baga, you have a very bad conscience!"
Aomori Masahito didn't expect anyone to dare to resist and talk back under the care of so many soldiers. When he looked next to him, Chief of Staff Shimono Ichiho was looking at him with a half-smiling look, as if he was laughing at his incompetence. He felt embarrassed.
Unable to hang himself, the murderous look in his eyes flashed away. With a wave of his hand, a bright sword light flashed through, and the sharp command knife pierced the old man's chest. The old man let out a scream, and soon he was killed.
Fell in a pool of blood.
Aomori Masahito pulled out the knife with force, pointed the command knife that was still dripping with blood at everyone and said with a ferocious smile: "This is the fate of resisting the imperial army. I advise you to cooperate with the imperial army's actions honestly, otherwise you will all be in trouble."
I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"
"grandfather……"
At this time, a child ran out of the crowd, threw himself on the old man lying in a pool of blood, and cried loudly.
"Hmm... is there another fish that slipped through the net?"
Aomori Masahito's eyes flashed fiercely again, and he raised his command sword high and aimed at the child to chop it down...
"day……"
Suddenly, a sharp and ear-piercing sound came from the air, causing everyone around them to change their colors immediately. The people present were all veterans. As soon as they heard the sound, they knew that it was the sound made by the friction between high-speed flying artillery shells and the air.
And the impact point of this cannonball was definitely not far from me.
Soon enough, all the soldiers including Aomori Masahito and Shimono Ikho threw themselves on the ground without thinking.
"boom……"
Just when their bodies just touched the ground, a violent explosion sounded near them, and the huge sound made all the eardrums buzz.
When the explosion sounded, ten more artillery shells exploded in the middle of the position. The violent explosion not only killed a large number of surrounding Japanese soldiers, but also killed and injured the civilians who were escorted to the front of the position by the Japanese.
Quite a few.
After the first wave of explosions, Aomori Masahito struggled to climb from the ground to Shimono Ikho and asked loudly: "Aomori-kun, didn't you say that we can stop the China attack as long as we put the Chinese people here? Now what?
what's going on?"
"How do I know!" At this time, Shimono Yihuo was also panicking. He did not expect that the Chinese army on the opposite side would fire artillery regardless of the safety of his own people. This approach completely subverted his cognition.
However, Shimono Yihuo also noticed that this time the Chinese shelling was not as intensive as it was this morning, but was very scattered in the east and west, and except for the first few shells, the rest of the shelling hit them
They also deliberately avoided the common people in front of the Japanese positions and bombed exclusively behind the defense lines.
"Are the Chinese people trying to scare themselves?"
An idea flashed through Shimono Yihuo's mind, but before he could finish thinking about it, Aomori Masahito next to him could not help but issue an order, "Everyone enter the position, anti-tank cannons are in place, stand up and prepare!"
The 13th Regiment is indeed one of the oldest and most fierce regiments in Japan. Although they were beaten up by the 1st Armored Division in the morning and suffered heavy casualties and almost collapsed, they recovered after a few hours of rest.
A certain amount of combat effectiveness.
Just as the Japanese troops entered the position one after another, the common people who were originally planted in front of the position were also panicked. They were tied into strings with ropes by the Japanese. They had not received military training and had no idea what they were doing during the shelling just now.
How to avoid it, so the casualties are not small.
At this moment, when they saw that the Chinese army in front had begun to attack here, they all panicked. They were tied up in a bunch and began to run away...
