Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth power-on surrender
There was a drizzle in the sky. The gunfire at the Minjiang Bridge had completely stopped at this time, but bombs still fell on the Japanese positions from time to time. No... this could no longer be called a position. They hurriedly evacuated.
The Japanese troops who reached the river had no time to build a position, and at most they only dug a temporary foxhole on the bank.
These foxholes were so crude that they could at best withstand rifle bullets, but they were unable to withstand powerful artillery shells.
"Boom! Boom!"
In order to maintain pressure on the Japanese army, the artillery that had already arrived would fire several shells at them from time to time. Of course, the too powerful 203mm howitzer could not be fired anymore, otherwise it would continue to hit the riverside for a while.
There were not many people left, so Shota Ishida asked for a few 80 mortars to fire a few from time to time to maintain a deterrent effect.
Under the long-term blows of the Chinese army's artillery shells that hit their own positions, the defeated Japanese soldiers, who were exhausted physically and mentally and with dull eyes, although they were too tired after a night of fighting and running away, heard this
The deafening rumble of cannons sounded again, but they still huddled up and lay motionless on the spot. If you didn't pay attention, you would almost think that these people lying on the riverside were dead.
Although these Japanese defeated soldiers were already in such miserable condition that not only did they not dare to organize a counterattack, they did not even dare to fire a shot at the place where their "comatriots" were vaguely visible not far away. They were treated as complete cowards.
However, those uninvited guests made of steel and cast iron that were "released" by our compatriots still had no intention of letting go of these "poor people". It would happen from time to time on the Japanese military positions. If you are lucky,
The warheads of the artillery shells that can kill mice and the bullets of the unlucky little devils will cause a "tragedy" in close contact. Because at this moment, thousands of Japanese soldiers are about to be squeezed into a mass by their opponents, so this kind of Japanese
People will never be willing to have "intimate" contact, and it will definitely bring about a beautiful rain of blood every time.
Being subjected to this kind of unilateral massacre undoubtedly has the greatest impact on the stability of an army's morale and morale. Over time, even the elite Japanese troops, who are known to have the strongest will to fight, will not be able to hold on for long under such circumstances.
After all, as long as you are a human being, you must have a limit that you can endure. Both Kashiwa Jingran and the Japanese commanders are very clear about this.
It stands to reason that in this situation, the Japanese army should have counterattacked to improve their morale. But at this time, the Japanese army was completely passive and could not even parry. They could only leave the people in a desperate situation.
He also has the power to express his dissatisfaction with the actions of his compatriots around him through actions.
But at this time, the Japanese army had no one to do this, because at this time, the Japanese army had already been busy with itself, and more than a dozen commanders were divided into two circles to blame each other...
This is a depression close to the river. Because it is deeply sunk into the river, artillery shells from across the river cannot touch them, and mortar shells are also difficult to reach. It can be said to be a natural
Anti-gun cave. However, due to the small space, it can only accommodate more than ten people, so only the dozen or so officers participating in the meeting can stay here.
Kojiro Nishizumi couldn't believe his eyes. He pointed at the officers in front of him, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and asked tremblingly: "Ogawa Haruo, you... what are you doing? Are you planning a mutiny?
?Don’t forget, I am the supreme commander here!”
At this time, the sky was already slightly brighter. The faint light had begun to shine on people. With the help of the light, it could be seen that the leader of the officers standing in front of Nishizumi Kojiro was a young captain.
This captain was about 25 or 26 years old. He did not have the popular Tanren beard under his chin and lips, but was shaved smoothly. He bowed slightly towards Kojiro Nishizumi.
Bowed, and then said respectfully: "Major Nishizumi, it is true that you are the captain of the 1st Chariot Division, but we are officers of the 63rd Division. I don't think the hands of the Chariot Division will be better
The commander can’t control our Sixty-third Division, can he?”
When Nishizumi Kojiro heard this, he was trembling with anger. He pointed at Captain Ogawa Haruo with a trembling finger and said: "Baga Yalu, you bastards, have you forgotten all the contents of the infantry code? After losing your direct superior,
Under such circumstances, you must obey the orders of the highest commander you can reach. If the highest commander disobeys, you can execute him on the spot. I don’t need to remind you about this, right?"
"That's enough, Sir Nishizumi!" Now the smile on the face of the captain named Ogawa Chunsheng faded, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes as he sneered: "Don't forget, I am a captain.
Banman! He has been an apprentice since he was a child, and he is also a full-time apprentice of the Daban Chamber of Commerce! (The company adopted orphans from a young age. The treatment is similar to that of bonded workers in China. Under normal circumstances, there is no personal freedom at all.
This was the remnant of the feudal system in Japan at that time.). The reason why I joined the army was because I was forced to do so by the owner of a shop. People like me have no wife and children to worry about, and no parents to worry about. I only live for myself.
There are many people in my subordinates who have the same experience as me, so we have all discussed that there is no need for us people to suffer for Japan, because Japan has given us nothing. So I think even if
It’s not an unbearable thing to join Commander Ishida’s Japanese rescue mission outside.”
"Baga! A bitch is a bitch. Just for those non-national words you said, I can chop you alive right away!" Nishizumi Kojiro, who always regarded himself as a samurai, couldn't stand such remarks, so he pulled out his hair immediately.
The command knife at the waist.
As the highest-ranking officer here, Nishizumi Kojiro naturally had many subordinates around him. When he pulled out his sword, three or four officers immediately stood up and glared at Ogawa Chunsheng. Some of them put their hands on their waists.
holster the gun in the room.
Haruo Ogawa was not to be outdone. He was from the 63rd Division and he also had supporters. When Kojiro Nishizumi and others began to draw their swords, the remaining seven or eight officers also stood behind him and stared at each other.
, some officers even pulled out their pistols. As a second-line division, most of the soldiers of the Sixty-third Division are from rural soldiers and soldiers serving for the second time. Most of these soldiers are about thirty years old when they serve again.
, most of the men of this age have already married, and after having been in society for so many years, they are naturally not as brave as the soldiers of the permanent divisions when it comes to fighting, but when it comes to thinking, they are far less agile than those simple young people.
So when Ishida Shota started to persuade him to surrender, many people were tempted like Ogawa Haruso.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Haruo Ogawa was the calmer one in the end. He quickly raised his right hand to signal both parties to calm down.
"Everyone, if we fight to the death from time to time, it will only make people laugh in vain. If any of you really can't help but want to use force, you can go outside. I believe that the Chinese cannonballs will definitely give you
A chance to become a god."
Looking at Ogawa Chunsheng's gloomy face, everyone calmed down. They also realized that if the two sides continued like this, it would probably turn into a meaningless fight, and the Chinese army on the opposite side would definitely laugh out loud.
Looking at the several officers behind him, Nishizumi Kojiro's heart sank instantly. The few people behind him were all officers of the First Division of Chariots, and the seven or eight officers next to Ogawa Chunsheng were
They were all members of the 63rd Division. He thought on his knees and knew that if a conflict broke out, he would definitely not be the one to laugh in the end.
Nishizumi Kojiro said solemnly: "Ogawa-kun, since you want to join the rescue team outside, I won't force you. There is an old Chinese saying that everyone has his own ambitions. So be it. As the supreme commander, I allow it now.
You leave the battlefield. As for your subordinates, if you want to leave, please leave together."
When he said this, there was a hint of helpless bitterness in Nishizumi Kojiro's voice. Once upon a time, the Japanese army was so majestic on the Chinese battlefield, but what about now? Some people actually surrendered to the Chinese. This is
What a strong contrast and humiliation, but he couldn't do anything about it. This feeling was really bad.
"Hai, thank you, Nishizumi-dono." Ogawa Harusi felt happy after hearing Nishizumi Kojiro's words. A smile appeared on his face and he bowed quickly to him and said, "Nishizumi-dono."
, I know your loyalty to the Empire of Japan and the Emperor, but your loyalty has been abused. I advise you to think about it carefully, because the Chinese will have sex again later!"
"Baga, get out of here right away!" Nishizumi Kojiro was furious and started to curse.
"Okay, Sir Nishizumi, let's take our leave then." Ogawa Chunsheng bowed to him again and strode out...
Twenty minutes later, bursts of cheers suddenly came from the position on the riverside.
"The little devil surrendered, the little devil surrendered!"
Sky-shaking cheers rang out along the river. The sound was so loud that both sides of the Minjiang River heard the sound. But what was surprising was that there was a hint of Japanese in these cheers, and the emotion was
It was sent by those Japanese soldiers who rescued Japan.
That's not all. The next day, the Japan Salvation Army also sent a message to the whole world, announcing its break with the Japanese militarist government and reactionary military headquarters, and claimed that with the help of the Chinese army, the Japan Salvation Army would be established. As soon as this statement came out,
There was an immediate uproar internationally, and Japan's rescue mission came into the world's attention for the first time.
