The Japanese surrounded Jieshou Town tightly. Although they bombarded the town with sharp artillery fire and almost razed the entire town to the ground, the defenders in the town still resisted tenaciously.
Every time the Japanese thought that the people inside were dead and prepared to go in to collect the corpses, they would always shoot revenge bullets in those dark corners that could not be seen, and soon there would be a firefight.
The Japs started from Gaoyou and fought all the way to Jieshou. They were tired and tired, and their bodies seemed to have lost all time. Facing the Jieshou town that they could not win, the Japs officers were already going crazy.
The burning Jieshou Town under the night was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up the Japanese soldiers who entered one after another, and even the bones could not be spit out.
Although the Jaap soldiers had eyes on top of their heads and were arrogant and arrogant, they were still human beings after all. Facing the immovable Jieshou Town, they all felt fear in their hearts.
He was able to survive under such fierce artillery fire, and his tenacity to fight was frightening. As many Japanese soldiers entered and never came out, many Japanese soldiers looked at the town strangely.
The Japanese soldiers even felt that the people resisting inside were not the assassins, but some silent ghosts, otherwise they would be so tenacious.
Guerrilla warfare in dark ruins is not the strength of the Japanese soldiers, but it is impossible not to capture Jieshou Town, because the symbolic significance of capturing Jieshou Town is now greater than its practical significance.
With so many of their troops gathered here, if they hesitate to move forward and are blocked by a few skirmishers, if word of this spreads, where will their invincible Imperial Japanese Army's face be?
In order to prevent more innocent soldiers from losing their lives in this ruined town, Japanese Infantry Captain Yamasaki decided to persuade them to surrender.
Persuading them to surrender can not only take down the town effortlessly and save their face, but also show the benevolence and righteousness of their Imperial Japanese Army, so this is currently the only more appropriate way to deal with it.
In the small town of Jieshou, the surviving Chinese officers and soldiers of less than fifty people were able to defeat the Japanese who had a strong force and had to give in to persuade some to surrender. This has to be said to be a miracle.
Of course, a large part of the reason for this is that the Japanese do not want to waste their troops in vain. If they are really aggressive and send two squadrons to attack, they can still take the town even if they lose some people.
But now the Japs really don’t want to fight, and many Japs soldiers are also afraid of the town. After all, these Japs soldiers are not field troops, they are all reorganized from engineering and heavy troops. If the fight continues like this, the Chinese will be
The team's tenacious fighting will will cast a shadow on the Japanese soldiers. It would be best if they could be persuaded to surrender.
Soon, the Japanese sent people to the ditch at the edge of the town and shouted to the lifeless town, asking the people in the town to surrender.
"Brothers from the Northern Jiangsu Corps! Are there any left alive? Come out and give me an answer!"
The traitor captain Liu Heitan held up a tin trumpet, opened his mouth and shouted at the burning Jieshou Town.
All the Japanese soldiers surrounding the town were lying on the ground with their rifles in hand. They held their breath. Once the people inside spoke, they would know where the other party was.
The surviving brothers in the town, whether they were militiamen or brothers from the third battalion, were hiding in the dark ruins in twos and threes, waiting for the next Japanese attack.
They had already determined to die, that is, risking their lives to fight the Japs, but this time they did not wait for a brutal attack, but the traitor's cry.
Hearing the traitor's shouting, the brothers, who were disgraced and exhausted, all looked at each other, wondering what they were doing.
"Don't say anything. This must be the Japanese trying to test our position."
The Japanese had artillery, and all of them were sharpshooters. In order to avoid exposing his hiding position, the battalion commander Shen Biao, who had only half his life left, did not allow his brothers to answer.
The traitor Liu Heitan shouted loudly and waited for a long time without seeing any response from the ruins.
"Are they all dead?" Liu Heitan turned his head and looked at the translator standing behind him.
The translator looked at Captain Yamazaki who was surrounded by a group of Japanese soldiers.
Captain Yamazaki's face showed no expression. He seemed to be thinking about something while looking at the burning ruins.
"Keep shouting."
When the translator saw that Captain Yamazaki had no reaction, he had no choice but to let Liu Heitan continue to speak.
"Brothers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, the Japanese Imperial Army has surrounded you. You have no way out. You have shown your bravery through tenacious fighting. Now there is no use guarding a ruin." Taijun said As long as you put down your guns, step out and surrender, not only will your lives be safe, but the previous misunderstandings will be wiped out, and you can go wherever you want, Taijun will never stop you."
The traitor Liu Heitan's voice sounded particularly loud at night, and the brothers who were hiding in the ruins and resisting could hear it clearly.
"Are the Japanese going to let us go?"
After hearing Liu Heitan's shouting, the brothers hiding in the ruins became restless.
They were now in a desperate situation, and when they suddenly heard about the chance of survival, many of them felt a little shaken in their hearts.
After all, at the moment of life and death, no one would really choose death if there is a chance to survive.
"You bitch, don't listen to the Japs. The Japs are not that kind. This is all a trick of the Japs. They want to trick us out and kill us."
The agitated militiamen were quickly poured cold water on them, and they calmed down.
The Japanese had always been brutal and cruel, and there was a precedent for killing prisoners of war in groups who had laid down their weapons in Nanjing and other places. Thinking of this, everyone gave up the idea of surrendering.
"Brothers, if we die here, we will remain loyal forever. If we go out and surrender, we will be in infamy for thousands of years. So many of our brothers will die in vain." A voice came from the darkness.
If they had been fighting and resisting the Japanese in the ruins, they would still have died vigorously. If they went out to surrender and were killed, they would no longer be able to resist.
The brothers soon strengthened their confidence again, gripped the rifles in their hands, and prepared to fight to the end.
"Brothers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, don't hold on. No one can save you. Hurry up and put down your guns and come out and surrender. Why do you have to hold on to them? Put down your guns and come out and be a popular drinker. If you don't surrender, Then we have to go see the Lord of Hell..."
The traitor Liu Heitan shouted over and over again until his mouth went dry, but there was no echo from the ruins.
Looking at the lifeless ruins of Jieshou Town, the Japanese infantry battalion captain Yamazaki's face was also filled with uncertainty. Are the people inside really dead?
Immediately he shook his head again, because previously they thought that all the people inside were dead and sent people in to collect the bodies. Who knew there were still many people alive? They were like ghosts hiding in the dark and attacking, but he lost money instead.
Many soldiers, Captain Yamazaki's head was huge when facing the ruins of Jieshou Town.
"The Third Squadron is ready to attack!"
Soon, the Japanese captain Yamazaki gave the order with a dark face. He decided to fight to the end and take Jieshou Town even if he had to pay some more casualties.
