Under Tang Dao's instructions, the infantry platoons that attacked each position were not killed by the Japanese troops who took the initiative to kneel down and surrender.
As for those who still want to resist or flee, of course they will be killed without hesitation.
Except for leaving one group to guard the prisoners, the rest of the infantry pursued the defeated troops to a distance of more than a thousand meters. They stopped chasing and returned to the battlefield to search for their wounded soldiers and return to the assembly point set before the Tang Dao battle.
Everyone, one hour to fix.
All the ministers were generous in distributing the toffee, beef, and canned fish found on the battlefield.
Either take it away or order it to be eaten!
Otherwise, the soldiers who have exhausted their physical strength may die from exhaustion even if they have to march for several kilometers, not to mention having to fight in the next battle.
The will can be compared to steel, but the human body cannot. There is always a limit.
The time left for Tang Dao and the advance group was only this night. Once it was daytime, the Japanese army had recovered and there were reconnaissance planes in the sky. Even if the thousands of people in the advance group had wings, they would be cooked like ducks.
.
Most of the soldiers were repairing, and Tang Dao and the officers had no time to rest.
At least 200 Japanese prisoners were escorted in front of Tang Dao by the soldiers responsible for escorting them.
Tang Dao stood upright, with his hands behind his back, looking at the Japanese prisoners who were shivering in the cold wind with more than a dozen machine guns pointed at them more than ten meters away, with cold eyes, but he did not speak immediately.
The Japanese army has about 200 people. However, the number of officers is very small. There are no assistant officers or even captains and lieutenants. There are not even many sergeants. Most of them are ordinary soldiers.
Although the Japanese prisoners knelt down to beg for mercy and were lucky enough to survive and be brought here by the Chinese soldiers, the habit they had formed over a long period of time still made them line up in an orderly manner. The only three second lieutenants and several sergeants took the initiative to stand in front of the line.
No one knew what the tall and sharp-eyed Chinese commander in front of them wanted to do. The Japanese could not guess it, nor did the Chinese soldiers with guns and cold faces around them.
Not to mention the officers and soldiers below, even Zhuang Shisan, the deputy of Tang Dao's garrison battalion, didn't understand. According to him, if we have time to run away with a group of Japanese prisoners, the best destination for the Japanese is to become our Chinese.
Fertile things on the land.
However, Zhuang Shisan could only complain about these words in front of a few platoon leaders, but he would never dare to do so in front of Tang Dao.
Battalion Commander Zhuang came from a humble background, and his eyesight was much better than those steely straight men who grew up in the military camp. He knew what soldiers like Tang Dao could not tolerate the most.
Military orders are like mountains!
Before a military order is issued, as subordinates they can make suggestions, and they can also explain and discuss with you, but once a military order is issued, even if they do not understand it, even if it turns out to be wrong, they must be implemented.
As the deputy battalion commander, Zhuang Shisan was like this, not to mention the officers and soldiers below. Many Japanese soldiers had surrendered with their hands high, but those who did not kneel down as required by the Chinese soldiers were all shot.
The reason is naturally: they did not kneel down, and we cannot judge whether they still want to find opportunities to resist or hide their weapons and die.
Of course these reasons are nonsense. If they were pure Japanese infantry, these scruples might exist, but for these poor Japanese artillerymen, forget it!
They even use one rifle for three people! How can there be any grenades for them to use?
What's more, the weird firing method of the Japanese melon grenade has destined them to be unable to send themselves to the sky quietly. If they don't use the grenade, what will they use to hit the grenade? With eggs?
However, the Chinese officers actively ignored this fact. Tang Dao said that those Japanese soldiers who knelt down and raised their hands to surrender were left behind, but he did not say that those who only raised their hands were left behind.
Otherwise, the number of people escorted to Tang Dao would be more than 200, at least twice as many.
Of course, Tang Dao naturally knew the little thoughts of his group of guys. In the Battle of Songjiang, countless comrades were wiped out by the Japanese heavy artillery. How could he not hate the Japanese artillery to the core?
But this is also very good. It can be regarded as the first screening, and the Japanese artillerymen who still have some backbone are screened out, leaving more soft bones, which are the 'good' Japanese that Tang Dao wants.
However, Tang Dao also knew that despite the fact that the group of Japanese prisoners in front of him already had the upper hand in survival and wanted to live, it would still be extremely difficult for them to control the cannons to bombard their own people.
In fact, this was much more difficult than getting the prisoners to reveal military secrets.
Because this is not a matter of spinelessness, but once it is known that they assisted the Chinese in shelling their own people, their relatives in the country will be implicated, and death may be the lightest punishment.
No matter in which country or nation, those who surrender to the enemy will not be easily forgiven, no matter what the situation.
However, there has never been a nation in this world that has never surrendered. The essence of human beings is still animals, and the right to life is the instinct imprinted in genes.
Throughout the thousands of years of history of the Chinese nation, there are many people who would rather die standing than live on their knees, but unfortunately, those who would rather live on their knees than lie down to die are just like the crucian carp crossing the river.
As for the short-legged people, they look very tough now. The 'Kamikaze' that specializes in suicide attacks are all products of their creation, but the so-called toughness is just a solid shell. This shell should be removed
Smashed to pieces, they are much more fragile than their former clan.
In the future, after the American cowboys dropped two "Big Fat Man" bombs on the Japanese mainland in anger, and the entire nation chose to kneel down for the sake of the continuation of the nation, they became the most loyal horsemen of the cowboys, even if they are electronically destroyed decades in the future.
The industry has been able to beat the cowboys, but because of the offended cowboys' one-night stand, they went right back to pre-liberation. The entire economy almost collapsed, and no one dared to stand up and call the cowboys "Baga!"
"You have 200 people now, but I only need 100 people!" Tang Dao glanced at the faces of the Japanese artillerymen who were worried but still able to maintain an orderly formation, and stretched out a finger and said in Chinese.
Hearing Tang Dao's cold words, the Japanese army was slightly commotion, but many Japanese soldiers looked at a loss.
Whether they are pretending or they really don't understand, confusion is the expression that flashes across most people's faces.
"Those who don't understand Chinese are not the people I need, sorry!" Tang Dao sneered.
With a slight wave of his hand, Zhao Daqiang, who had been standing next to Tang Dao with a loaded gun, showed a ferocious expression on his face, and he fired straight away.
He fired several shots and knocked down several Japanese soldiers in the front row, including a second lieutenant.
The Japanese troops were in panic.
"The Chinese are going to kill us!"
"Fight!"
Under the shouting and screaming, some Japanese soldiers wanted to escape, while others wanted to rush towards Tang Dao.
To capture the thief, capture the king first, the Japanese are not stupid either.
However, the Chinese infantrymen who were waiting closely around them fired without hesitation. Any Japanese soldiers who panicked and tried to run away or those who had any plans were killed. More than two dozen Japanese soldiers were knocked down and lay in a pool of blood.
"If you don't want to die, lie down where you are!" A Japanese second lieutenant shouted loudly, and most of the Japanese soldiers lay prone on the ground.
This cry allowed most of the Japanese troops to escape the fate of being massacred.
"Stop, you devil, what on earth do you want to do?" The Japanese officer with the rank of second lieutenant asked in a hissed voice as he looked at Tang Dao, who was motionless and had a cold gaze.
"Very good, Mr. Second Lieutenant, you are very wise, otherwise the 100 people I want may not be enough." Tang Dao did not get angry because of the name of the devil, but nodded and answered him happily, and congratulated him by the way.
Japanese artillerymen on the ground. "Congratulations to you, you have lost 30 competitors!"
"What exactly do you want us to do? These are ordinary imperial artillery troops. Most of them have not received Chinese training. I can help them translate." The Japanese second lieutenant lying on the ground asked in pain and in substandard Chinese.
Tang Dao.
"Is that so?" Tang Dao pretended to think, "Then they won't be able to assume the responsibility of instructors. My soldiers need them to teach us how to fire artillery! The control of your country's 150-meter heavy artillery is really complicated."
"Asshole, that's impossible! It's impossible for our Imperial Army." Anger surged on a sergeant's face and he roared loudly.
Tang Dao looked at him and said nothing.
The Japanese soldier Cao Yiran was not afraid and shouted a few words in Japanese behind him. The Japanese soldiers lying on the ground started to stir again, and screamed and cursed from time to time.
Tang Dao grinned and smiled.
Showing his white teeth, he looked like a wolf looking at a nest of rabbits.
Hungry wolf!
Bad wolf!
The exposed sharp teeth are a precursor to seeing blood and eating flesh!
