There were a total of 21 gun-mounted grenade launchers in the three platoons, and all of them were projectile-fired, and the grenades fired went over the courtyard wall and landed in the courtyard. Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded in the courtyard, and several stumps and broken arms could be clearly seen flying up with the explosion, mixed with some screams, obviously the soldiers who were defending against the courtyard wall were hit hard.

Before the smoke cleared, Luo Yue led the soldiers of the platoon to rush towards the courtyard wall, and the two soldiers bent down on the side of the wall respectively, and built two "steps" Luo Yue strode on the "steps" with his left hand to support the wall, and his whole body jumped over the wall, and with the gun in his right hand, he fired indiscriminately into the courtyard, and then stepped on both feet, and fell into the courtyard.

The other soldiers also jumped over the courtyard wall and landed, and the gunfire was incessant, and even the few soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the explosion of the grenade fell under the muzzle of the gun.

The smoke gradually cleared, revealing the building, and the coalition firepower had been suppressed, and the counterattack was minimal. Luo Yue was about to give the order to launch an attack on the house, but at this moment, he saw a white cloth picked out from the window on the second floor and waved it left and right. Luo Yue was stunned for a moment, and then ordered the soldiers to stop shooting temporarily.

At this time, the other two platoons also turned into the courtyard, and Wang Qinglin rushed to Luo Yue's side and said, "Platoon Commander Luo, why don't you attack?"

Luo Yue pointed to the white cloth that was still fluttering on the second floor, and said, "The Eight-Nation Alliance is about to surrender. ”

Wang Qinglin saw it clearly and said: "It's really a cheap bone, I didn't surrender when I shouted just now, and I didn't remember it until I was beaten." ”

As the two men spoke, they saw two officers come out of the house, one carrying a white cloth, the other with his hands raised in the air, and shouting in English: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, we're here to surrender, we're here to surrender." ”

Luo Yue and Wang Qinglin glanced at each other, and Luo Yue also said loudly in English: "Okay, we won't shoot, you guys come over honestly, but don't play any tricks." ”

When the two Britons heard this, they were relieved, so they came to Luo Yue and reported their names, it turned out that these two people were a Cherch and a Pierce, both with the rank of captain, and they were ordered to negotiate the surrender with the assault troops. Cerchi said: "Sir, we are willing to surrender our weapons and surrender to you, and ask you to respect the [Geneva Convention] and ensure the safety of our lives." ”

Luo Yue nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will respect the provisions of the Second Hague Convention in the [Geneva Convention] and the Convention on the Laws and Customs of War on Land, and guarantee the safety and basic rights of prisoners of war, but you must ensure that you obey our orders, and now you will follow me to see my commander." ”

The two Britons were also a little surprised, they didn't expect Luo Yue to say the Second Hague Convention, but it sounded like this, Luo Yue really understood the [Geneva Convention], so he was also a little relieved.

In fact, the Geneva Convention is the general name of a series of international conventions on the protection of civilians and war victims from 1864 to 1949.

It was the Geneva International Conference that founded the Red Cross in 1863 with the desire to "neutralize" the wounded and medical personnel in war. On August 22, 1864, 12 countries, including Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Portugal, signed the Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field in Geneva, stipulating the neutral status of military hospitals and medical personnel and the reception and care of wounded and sick servicemen regardless of nationality. It is the first convention of the Geneva Convention. On 29 July 1899, the Hague Convention II was adopted, the Convention respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land, and the Hague Convention III, Convention on the Applicability of the Principles of the Geneva Conventions to Naval Warfare, extended the object of protection in war to prisoners of war.

Subsequently, the Geneva Convention was revised several times, and finally on August 12, 1949, the four basic international humanitarian laws were re-concluded in Geneva, setting the standard for humanitarianism in international law. They are primarily concerned with the treatment of war victims, prisoners of war and civilians in time of war. It was officially determined that it entered into force on October 21, 1950, so it is also known as the Geneva Conventions, and on June 10, 1977, two additional protocols to the Geneva Conventions were signed in Geneva, and entered into force on December 7, 1978, which is the most complete [Geneva Convention].

China acceded to the Geneva Convention in 1956, so the PLA is no stranger to the content and history of the Geneva Conventions.

The two British officers met with Qiu Yahui and received Qiu Yahui's assurances before returning to the house. After a while, I saw more than a dozen soldiers with black hair and yellow skin from the house, who looked like they were Japanese. Then the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army came out of the house, and one by one, according to the requirements of the People's Liberation Army, held their rifles high, and after coming to the courtyard, they put their rifles aside, and then walked out of the courtyard and sat down in the designated position of the soldiers.

More than 30 people came out one after another, followed by the commanders of the eight-nation coalition forces, led by British Lieutenant Commander Gunelson, as well as Russian Lieutenant Commander Mozgov, German Navy Lieutenant Campbell, US Navy Lieutenant Fletcher, and French Navy Lieutenant Ghazi. They surrendered to Qiu Yahui by handing over their swords or spears. Some of the soldiers were careful and found that none of the Japanese surrendered voluntarily.

It turned out that as early as when the Eight-Nation Coalition was surrounded, several commanders discussed surrendering to the PLA, because the current situation is very clear, the Eight-Nation Coalition has been completely defeated, and all its obligations have been fulfilled, and in the European concept, surrender has become a natural thing. After the People's Liberation Army (PLA) shouted to the Eight-Nation Coalition to surrender, several commanders basically decided to surrender. Except for the Japanese.

Japan is the only non-Western country in the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the word "surrender" is not included in the dictionary of the vast majority of Japanese soldiers. And the commander of the Japanese army, Yuki Otsu, belongs to the majority. Although Yuki Otsu went to Europe to study for further study, he was born in a Japanese feudal family, and received a spiritual education in bushido since he was a child, and regarded surrender on the battlefield as the most shameful thing, but regarded death in battle as the supreme glory, and naturally refused to accept the opinions of several other commanders and surrender to the enemy, so he resolutely opposed surrendering to the PLA, but must fight to the death, and the glory will be shattered.

After all, Yuki Otsu is the chief general of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the Japanese army accounts for nearly half of the troops guarding the headquarters, so Yuki Otsu insists on not surrendering, and several other people have no choice but to try their best to persuade Yuki Otsu.

However, the People's Liberation Army used grenades to jump over the courtyard wall and hit directly into the courtyard wall, injuring and killing countless Japanese soldiers guarding the courtyard wall.

So British Navy Lieutenant Commander Gunelson took the lead, took out a pistol and put it against Otsu Yuki's head, and the other people immediately understood, and worked together to subdue several other Japanese officers in the command, but fortunately, most of the Japanese soldiers were killed, so it was very smooth to complete the "mutiny", and then Lieutenant Colonel Gunelson decided to raise the white flag on behalf of everyone, surrender to the People's Liberation Army, and kidnap several Japanese who were restrained.

And after understanding what happened, Qiu Yahui, Luo Yue and others were also a little crying and laughing, they didn't expect that there would be such an internal fighting incident within the Eight-Nation Alliance, but the devil was still as strong as ever, fortunately, people from other countries were still in normal thinking, and of course they saved themselves a lot of trouble, after all, the officers who were caught were all at the colonel level, and their weight was not low.

The surrender of the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Coalition also means that the outcome of this battle has settled. However, the battle was finally over, and it dragged on until after twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Most of the time was spent chasing the fleeing Eight-Nation Coalition soldiers around the town of Komagawa. Because the soldiers of the reinforcements were all participating in the actual battle for the first time, they naturally hoped to fight a big battle, but the battle plan was temporarily changed, and when the reinforcements arrived, the troops stationed in Hejiawan Village defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance.

The soldiers of the reinforcements were naturally unwilling, since the big fish was gone, they had to touch a few small shrimps, and they finally did not come in vain, so when they pursued the fleeing soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance, they were very hard, and sometimes in order to chase a few deserters, they chased more than ten kilometers in one go, of course, it consumed a lot of time.

The final results were that 512 enemy soldiers were killed, 187 were captured, 324 rifles and more than 8,000 rounds of ammunition were captured, as well as 22 pistols, 73 donkeys and horses, 30 carts, and a small amount of their blood supplies. And the number of soldiers who eventually escaped is estimated to be no more than twenty.

However, it was also in this battle that the crossing fleet also saw the first dead soldiers, and a total of seven soldiers were killed in this battle. Among them, in the battle of attacking the town of Juhe, four soldiers were sacrificed, two of whom were from Luo Yue's platoon, Du Pingtao, a machine gun deputy, and Zheng Jinbo, an assault soldier. The other two platoons each had one person killed. The other three soldiers who died were shot by cold guns in the process of pursuing the deserters, although the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance who were shot were all beaten into a sieve by the angry soldiers, but the sacrificed soldiers could not be resurrected. Twenty-seven other fighters were wounded, and eleven were seriously wounded.

Looking at the corpses of the sacrificed comrades-in-arms lying in front of them, company commander Qiu Yahui, deputy company commander Wang Jianping, company instructor Liu Jun, platoon commanders Luo Yue, Ran Runfeng, Liu Qinglin, and others were also silent. Although everyone has such a mental preparation in their hearts, after all, fighting a war will inevitably kill people, even if it is a traverser is not a superman who wears pants outside, but when death really comes, it still brings a strong impact to the soldiers, so that the soldiers can experience the cruelty of the war for the first time, and the dead will not always be the enemy.

After a long while, Qiu Yahui said: "Forget it, people can't be resurrected after death, let's transport their bodies back to the village first, and report the results to the headquarters immediately." ”
