The reason why the Japanese army still clung to illusions was because Chiba Xunyi knew clearly that they could not send troops for reinforcements, but he could not tell the 81st Regiment the news. He knew that he could not save them, so he could only hope that they would fight with the enemy.
The two fishes died together, and they perished together. Chiba Xunyi could not tell them the news that there were no reinforcements, in order to avoid the despair of the troops and collapse.
Unfortunately, the officers and soldiers of the 81st Regiment still held on to a glimmer of hope, waiting for reinforcements from their superiors to arrive.
The captain of the 81st Regiment sent a telegram to Chiba Xunyi again, and Chiba Xunyi quickly called back, saying that they had requested the 108th Division to dispatch reinforcements and were now on the way, asking them to fight tenaciously until the reinforcements arrived.
After the captain received the news, he was no longer as excited as before, because Chiba Xunyi said that reinforcements would arrive many times, and he now doubted whether there were really reinforcements.
Despite this, the commander of the regiment still asked the regiment to pass on the notice and convey the good news that reinforcements were about to arrive to every Japanese officer and soldier, in order to stimulate their remaining fighting spirit.
Seeing how tenacious the Japanese army was, the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces became a little impatient again.
Fang Ligong asked again when the Japanese army would surrender. If not, they would start shelling and just kill these Japanese soldiers.
Wang Chengzhu and Sun Desheng were also a little impatient and expressed the same opinion.
Xu Dalong patiently persuaded them again and carried out his intentions unswervingly.
As night fell, the soft and beautiful singing voices of Yuriko Toyoda and others rang out on the radio again.
After the singing ended, another man's singing voice came.
The song goes: "White birch trees stand tall, the sky is blue, the breeze blows from the south, magnolias bloom on the hills..."
This is the famous Japanese song "Spring in the North Country". At this moment, this song is extremely lethal, especially the phrase "Hometown, hometown, my hometown, when will I be able to return to your arms", which made the Japanese army's
The officers and soldiers were very excited and felt a strong desire to be homesick.
Finally, a Japanese soldier had a nervous breakdown. He jumped up and shouted: "Mom, I want to go home."
The Japanese officers were worried that he would weaken their morale, so they hurriedly stepped forward and kicked him down. Then they punched and kicked him, and kept scolding him.
The Japanese officers and soldiers seemed to be numb, no one said anything, but their eyes began to sparkle with the flame of hatred.
There was a "bang" gunshot, and another wounded Japanese soldier couldn't bear the double mental and physical torture and committed suicide by drinking a bullet.
Japan is a highly hierarchical nation. It was originally a great honor to commit suicide by caesarean section. Only nobles could enjoy this treatment. Later, it was gradually extended to officers of the Japanese army. Soldiers did not have this qualification. They could only commit suicide by drinking bullets.
This afternoon, a Japanese officer couldn't bear the pain and mental torture and committed suicide by caesarean section. He was very hungry, coupled with the pain, he had no strength. He reluctantly stabbed the command knife into his abdomen and was unable to complete the next steps.
He moved and asked other officers to cut off his head with a knife.
More and more Japanese officers and soldiers committed suicide, and an atmosphere of despair permeated the Japanese camps.
At this time, on the coalition position, Su Xiaoyan's broadcast came again. She said: "Japanese officers and soldiers, I am a doctor. If your injuries are not treated, you will easily get septicemia. You are still young and have no
It is necessary to lose your life like this. We are willing to provide you with humanitarian assistance and help you treat the wounded. If you are willing, we can send people to send you medicine."
The wounded Japanese soldiers were no longer as stubborn as before. Their spirits gradually began to collapse, and many of them were unwilling to die.
Some people began to beg the officers to allow them to receive treatment. At first, only one or two wounded Japanese soldiers made such requests, but they were severely reprimanded by the officers.
Gradually, more and more wounded people requested treatment, and the officers could not stop them, so they had to report to the regimental commander.
The commander of the regiment knew that the spirits of the Japanese officers and soldiers were about to collapse. If he did not agree to treat the wounded, the anger of the officers and soldiers would probably be vented on him.
He was forced to agree to receive medicine sent by the guerrillas.
He sent someone to shout to the anti-Japanese army and expressed his acceptance of their medical assistance.
Several soldiers placed a large bag of medicine between the two army positions, and the Japanese soldiers went over and took it back.
At the beginning, the Japanese army was worried that there was something wrong with these medicines. After their military doctors checked and confirmed that there were no problems, they began to treat the wounded soldiers.
With such a change, Xu Dalong saw hope. He believed that in two days at most, these Japanese officers and soldiers would completely collapse.
Another day passed. The Japanese officers and soldiers had been hungry for a long time and were a little numb. They began to hallucinate and seemed to feel less hungry.
At this moment, a huge temptation came to them.
Yuriko Toyoda said: "Japanese officers and soldiers, you have not eaten for many days, and your bodies will not be able to bear it if this continues. If you agree, we are willing to send you some food."
The Japanese commander was also starving. He still held on to a glimmer of hope and waited until reinforcements arrived. If the enemy could provide him with food, the officers and soldiers would be able to recover some strength after eating and be able to persist longer. So he
He agreed to accept the food provided by the guerrillas.
It's still the old method, with several guerrillas carrying several large pots filled with steaming white rice and dried radish with sesame oil, which makes people look appetizing.
After the food was brought back, the captain was worried that the guerrillas had poisoned the food, and he hoped that someone would sign up to try it.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were already going crazy with hunger. Their eyes were all green at this time. They were already extremely hungry, but after smelling the aroma of the food, a strong sense of hunger suddenly came back. A lot of
Japanese soldiers asked to try it one after another.
The commander of the regiment randomly selected two Japanese soldiers. They were very happy and swallowed the little food they were given. One soldier ate too quickly and couldn't help coughing loudly.
An hour passed and the food was almost cold. There was no abnormality in the two Japanese soldiers who ate the food. It was obvious that the guerrillas had not poisoned it.
Finally, it was time to eat. The Japanese officers and soldiers all stared with blood-red eyes and rushed forward, seeing that a looting was about to happen.
The commander of the regiment had to fire his gun into the air, order his guards to guard the meals, and then distribute them.
At this time, the captain discovered that the number of meals sent by the guerrillas was not enough. Each person could only share two taels at most. He suddenly realized that this was a huge conspiracy.
Such a small meal, shared by each person, would have little effect on restoring physical strength. Instead, it would stimulate their hunger even more, which would have a more serious impact on the spirit of the Japanese soldiers.
However, it was too late to regret at this time. If these meals were not distributed to the officers and soldiers, a riot would directly occur.
After the Japanese officers and soldiers ate this meager meal, their hunger became more intense. Now they were in great pain and even more irritable.
The Japanese officers and soldiers looked eagerly at the sun in the sky, hoping that the guerrillas would deliver the food as soon as noon.
However, there was no movement from the guerrillas. They started eating as usual, and the aroma wafted over again.
The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army could not bear this strong stimulation and became even more excited.
At this time, Lin Xueying's gentle voice came from the radio again. She said: "Japanese officers and soldiers, we have prepared delicious meals here. Come over and you will be full. Come on, the food is delicious."
Finally, a Japanese soldier suffered a nervous breakdown. He threw away his rifle and ran towards the guerrilla position.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese captain pulled out the tortoise box and shot him twice in the back. The soldier was knocked to the ground.
The gunfire shocked other officers and soldiers who had the same idea as the soldier. They did not dare to act rashly, but the anger in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.
The captain of the Japanese army shuddered when he saw the hatred flashing in the eyes of those officers and soldiers.
At night, the smell of food came from the guerrilla positions again.
Su Xiaoyan shouted: "Japanese officers and soldiers, come on, delicious meals are prepared for you here. Come over here while it's dark."
About 40 minutes later, under the illumination of the armored vehicle's lights, the guerrillas saw someone crawling towards them on the ground.
The guerrillas did not fire and waited quietly for them to come.
