The meaning of Zhuo Fei's words was already very clear, and he asked Niu Laozhuan and the others to leave all the Mauser rifle cartridges, which was to show that he would not return to the safe area together. Niu Laozhuan originally only needed to act according to Zhuo Fei's orders, but now that the sky was about to get dark, Zhuo Fei insisted on staying alone, so Niu Laozhuan had to ask. "Boss, do you want to stay alone? It's getting dark this day, and it's too dangerous for you to stay alone, or I'll take a few people to stay, at least you can have a few more helpers to help clean up the battlefield. ”

Niu Lao Zhu didn't agree with Zhuo Fei to stay alone, and said that there were not many Mauser rifle bullets on their bodies, and Zhuo Fei was actually exhausted, so he took advantage of the situation to get off the donkey and promised to go back to the safety zone with Niu Lao and them. After a short rest, Zhuo Fei ordered to return to the safe zone, there were more than 50 people when they came out, but when they went back now, Niu Laozhuan's defeated soldiers were less than 30 people.

Fighting is bound to die, Niu Lao Xuan will not be patient to mourn for the defeated soldiers who died in the battle or say anything to the living, in Niu Lao Xuan's view, since these guys have chosen to pick up arms and come out with themselves, they have already thought of the moment when they will die in battle. There was still a long way to go back, everyone was silent and just buried their heads in the road, and when the routs occasionally smashed open the roadside shops to search for drinks, food and cigarettes, Zhuo Fei only pretended not to see.

"Leave them alone, even if they don't take it, it will only cheapen the Japanese soldiers who enter the city." Stopping Niu Laoshuan, who wanted to reprimand his subordinates, Zhuo Fei smiled. "I don't know if there is a life to live until tomorrow, I can't reprimand them for these worthless little things, we are not an army, they are no longer pure soldiers now, you can't use the set in the army to restrain them, think about those who are dead, they are actually not easy."

When many so-called war history experts in later generations talked about the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, they would always say that it was because of the erosion and low combat effectiveness of the national army that the Japanese army occupied most of China on a large scale. But when Zhuo Fei came to this era and really came into contact with the soldiers of the national army, the memory of the national army, which had been deeply engraved in his mind, changed slightly. It is a fact that the national army is weak, but it is not only the erosion of the management of the national army that has caused all this, the continuous wars after the Republic of China have not only greatly restricted the development of people's livelihood, but also made the army unable to recruit strong soldiers.

Although the Kuomintang occupied the righteous and established the Nationalist Government, there were many factions in the country, and if they had soldiers in their hands, they were warlords, and warlords at all levels, large and small, not only looked at their own acres and threes of land, but only disobeyed the orders of the central government. It is said that Chiang Kai-shek misled the country, but in fact, there were many times when the decrees of the Nationalist Government left Nanjing, and no one paid attention to them. The weakness of the national power could not be changed overnight, and the lack of unity within the Nationalist Government gave Japan an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The Nationalist army lost the Battle of Songhu, not because the Japanese army was excellent, but because Chiang Kai-shek believed the arguments of some people in the Nationalist Government and waited for the mediation of the so-called international community. The Nationalist Army lost its troops in the Songhu Battlefield, and then it was the extremely tragic Battle of Nanjing, which made a large number of Nationalist troops who dared to fight crippled, which also made the already low combat effectiveness of the Nationalist Army even more unbearable.

There was no stable source of troops, and there was no weapons and equipment of the same level as the opponent, and among the hundreds of thousands of troops of the national army when defending Nanjing, recruits who had been wearing military uniforms for less than three months accounted for a large part, and even the descendants of the national army, such as the German armament division, joined the defense of Nanjing only after replenishing the recruits. Under such conditions, the defending troops could still withstand the Japanese planes and artillery for so many days, and Zhuo Fei thought that these national troops had done their best.

Of course, Zhuo Fei would not think that all the soldiers of the national army were men, and on the way back to the safe zone, Zhuo Fei and the others not only encountered a large number of refugees, but also constantly encountered fleeing soldiers along the way. These soldiers threw down their weapons as they ran, and also took off their military uniforms and changed into the clothes of the people who had been robbed. Walking all the way to contain, when there was still about half an hour left before the safe zone, Zhuo Fei and the others were already followed by no less than 300 civilians in the city.

When they marched to the safety zone and 2 streets, about a platoon of the national army rout suddenly emerged from a sloping alley, and when these routs who looked like they had lost their way passed by Zhuo Fei and them, the rout soldiers under Niu Laozhuan casually asked the other party a few words, but the leading second lieutenant officer didn't know anything. Zhuo Fei, who was mixed in the middle of the team, didn't care at the time, but after the national army had passed over, Zhuo Fei suddenly felt that something was wrong. With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Zhuo Fei remembered that the accent of the second lieutenant of the national army who was talking to his defeated soldiers just now sounded a little weird, and then recalled that although the defeated soldiers just now were dressed disheveled, the marching team was neat and the equipment was neat, and what was even more suspicious was that their morale was also very high.

How can a small army that has just retreated maintain such high morale? Zhuo Fei secretly screamed in his heart! This may have been an infiltration force of the Japanese army. Thinking of this, in line with the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, Zhuo Fei, who had come back to his senses, immediately ordered to surround this group of routs and ordered them to lay down their weapons. The routs, who had not had time to react correctly, opened fire first, but because they responded in a hurry, most of them were quickly annihilated, and the remaining few were also captured, including the leading second lieutenant officer.

The refugees who followed Zhuo Fei all the way suddenly saw Zhuo Fei in civilian clothes, and they suddenly surrounded a small group of national troops, and the two sides exchanged fire, so they all stopped, and gradually surrounded them. Seeing that there were more and more people around the side, several of the captured soldiers suddenly shouted: "Fellow countrymen! You're going to be our masters! We didn't know how to offend them when we retreated here, so they surrounded us and killed so many of our brothers! You're going to have to be fair! ”

The refugees who came over were furious when they heard these words, and some people were already pointing at Zhuo Fei and scolding them. Zhuo Fei shouted loudly with a calm face: "Fellow countrymen, don't listen to his nonsense!" They were Japanese soldiers who had infiltrated the city! "The refugees began to hesitate again, and many of them were still rescued by Zhuo Fei! As for the devil soldiers, everyone hates them even more! It's just that these people in front of them can prove that they killed the devil soldiers?

When Zhuo Fei saw their expressions, he understood what they were thinking, and after a little thought, he ordered loudly: "Strip off the clothes of these guys who were killed!" Although the captured rout didn't know Tang Hu's purpose for doing this, he also knew that it was not a good thing after all, so he cried loudly: "Fellow villagers! They deceive people too much! We still have to let our people die badly! ”

The refugees began to clamor again. Yes, it is too much for people to die, and these people don't even let go of the dead. At this time, several dead bodies had been stripped of their clothes, and the refugees surrounding them suddenly all made a "huh", followed by an "oh". It turned out that these stripped corpses were all wrapped around the crotchcloth, and Zhuo Fei took the opportunity to point to these corpses on the ground and said loudly: "Have you seen it?" They are surrounded by a crotch cloth that only Japanese people wear, and whose family will wear this kind of diaper-like thing. You say, "Who else are they if they are not devils?" ”

After fighting with the devil for so long, I have seen a lot of corpses of the devil, Niu Laozhuan, they saw this kind of devil sign like a diaper, where would they not understand that these killed were Japanese soldiers? The fire swarmed up and stripped the remaining corpses of their military uniforms, and the lower bodies of these corpses were naturally also wearing crotch cloths. Zhuo Fei smiled and said to the Japanese officer disguised as a second lieutenant of the national army: "How is it? Do you need them to strip you all naked? ”

The Japanese officer, whose face was pale, finally bowed his head and said, "Okay, I admit that I am a Japanese soldier!" He finally understood that his quibbles were no longer valid! Before the operation, they changed all their clothes and equipment, plus the rest of the people could speak Chinese, but they calculated everything, just this crotch cloth, but no one thought to change! And they didn't know that they would meet Zhuo Fei and his gang here.

The refugees who came to see the excitement heard the officer admit that he was Japanese, and they all shouted that they were going to rush in and beat these prisoners to death. Now that the devil is in front of you, how can you still bear it. Zhuo Fei smiled: "You can see it now, how unpopular you are. Tell me now, what is the mission of your troops? How many troops like yours are there? Where are they? How do you get in touch with each other? ”

Although the captured Japanese officer was panicked in his heart, his expression was not very panicked, and he immediately said: "According to the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, we are now prisoners of war!" You have to treat us humanely. There shall be no discrimination on any grounds or criteria, and no killing, maiming, ill-treatment or torture shall be permitted. We must not be detained in areas where our lives are not guaranteed, we must not be taken hostage, and our personal dignity must not be compromised. This includes being intimidated or annoyed by the curiosity of the audience, and in particular not being insulted or demoted, not being the object of retaliation, not being subject to collective punishment for individual actions, and not delaying release after the war has stopped! ”

The smile on Zhuo Fei's face retreated, and he said in a gloomy voice, "Aren't you just the infiltration troops who came into the city, I have already killed hundreds of you today." Besides, you are now wearing a part of the national army, that is, a rout, not a prisoner" Then he turned to Niu Lao and glanced at Niu Laoshuo, "Use a bayonet, save some bullets" A group of rout soldiers who had long been unable to bear it rushed over, and after a miserable scream, the captives were already dead and could not die anymore.
