Chapter 447: The First Mass Grave
For the Japanese troops who broke through the siege, they may never have dreamed that a large number of explosives were planted in advance in the entire Shu City. First there was an explosion in the place where they had chosen to camp, and then another explosion occurred on the way to escape.
If the explosion of the first round caused heavy losses to the infantry brigade and lost the advantage of dominating the battlefield. Then the explosion that occurred at this moment really buried their last ray of life and made them completely the objects of slaughter.
After solving the little devil who rushed to the front of the blocking position, Hu Biao, who commanded the blockade, was not in a hurry. While the fire was still raging, Hu Biao began to instruct the team members to bandage and treat the wounded who had previously blocked the attack.
As for the sacrificed team members, they also collected the corpses and carried them away when the troops left the city. Although the blocking time was not long, there were many little devils who died in the hands of Hu Biao and his party. In the same way, the Blockade also paid a great price.
Looking at the retracted body, Hu Biao said with a somewhat sad expression: "I still underestimate the ruthlessness of the little devil!" ”
"Detachment leader, this is already rare! With just a hundred of us, we can stop thousands of devils! ”
"Don't worry! I'm fine, I'm just a little uncomfortable. If you knew this, you should have detonated the explosives in advance! ”
"Detonating the explosives in advance will certainly not have such an effect. I took a look at it before, and this one exploded, but I was afraid that the little devil had lost the ability to fight back. We've fought this battle very well! ”
Listening to the comfort of the combat platoon commander beside him, Hu Biao no longer dwelled on anything, nodded and said, "Pillar, hit a signal flare!" Order all units to launch a comprehensive encirclement and suppression. Even if there are still surviving little devils, they must have no power to fight back. ”
"Yes, detachment leader!"
Tian Tiezhu, who stayed by Hu Biao's side, was very aware of the casualties of more than a dozen people, which must have made Hu Biao very uncomfortable. Even if they were proud of their achievements, the casualty figure this time was the largest since they entered Anhui Province.
Combined with the casualties and wounded in the previous battles, the task force lost at least one combat platoon. Although the results were brilliant, Tian Tiezhu and others still knew that the sacrifice of each team member would make Hu Biao feel uncomfortable.
As a flare flew into the air, the combat units that were pursuing in the whole circle launched another fierce attack on the remaining Japanese troops in the city. The commander of the Japanese infantry brigade, who remained outside the blast area, still seemed a little indifferent.
In the face of the persuasion of his subordinates, the commander of the infantry brigade also said directly: "Let's go!" Take advantage of the fact that the Chinese army has not yet formed an encirclement, and find an opportunity to disperse and break through! It's really not good, find a place to hide, maybe you can save your life. ”
"General! If you don't go, we won't go! ”
"Yaga! Execute the command! As a brigade commander, I am responsible for this defeat. Could it be that you want me to be a prisoner of the Chinese army? Or, would you like to see me court-martialed? Come on! ”
Knowing these subordinates is also a good intention, but for the commander of the infantry brigade, this sudden explosion has buried his last ray of life. When he was captured or court-married, he preferred to die a heroic death.
Listening to the gunfire coming from behind them, several adjutants were finally scolded away by the commander of the infantry brigade. Only the two officers and a few soldiers who closely protected the brigade commander finally chose to die with the brigade commander.
Looking at the fire still burning in front of him, the commander of the infantry brigade also said directly: "As a commander, I am sorry for you." Now, please keep the surroundings for me, and don't let the people of China disturb me!" ”
"Hey! I am willing to die for the general! ”
As the supreme commander of an infantry brigade, the commander of an infantry brigade as a major general naturally could not choose to be a prisoner of war or be killed by the enemy. Before the pursuing troops arrived, he finally chose to commit suicide by disembowelment.
Suicide, for many little devil officers, is also a way to be loyal to the empire and the emperor. With his own life, wash away the shame of defeat. If you really want to be captured alive, then it is very likely that your fate will be worse than death!
The rest of the cronies and subordinates who chose to stay are also well aware of this. Therefore, no one prevented the commander of the infantry brigade from doing so. In the eyes of these cronies, the fact that the commander of the infantry brigade dared to die head-on was also an act worthy of their respect.
Waiting for Qin Tianyou to lead the troops and kill the last little devil who resisted stubbornly, he soon saw the little devil major general who fell to his knees and committed suicide with a knife. Beside him, there were also several little devil adjutants who committed suicide by caesarean section.
Seeing this scene, many combat team members also said excitedly: "Squadron leader, it's a big fish!" ”
"Big fart! It's a dead fish at best! Originally, I wanted to catch a job, but I didn't think that this old devil would be hard! Gather the corpse for a moment, and then ask the detachment leader what to do with it. Others, continue to clean up the little devils! ”
In the face of the little devils who fled in all directions, the combat units that entered the city to encircle and suppress also began to divide into combat teams to carry out search and arrest. Seeing the little devil trying to escape, the officers and soldiers who pursued him naturally knocked him down and killed him without saying a word.
What Qin Tianyou didn't expect was that in this clean-up operation, he actually encountered a little devil who took the initiative to raise his hand and surrender. Faced with these little devils who took the initiative to raise their hands to surrender, Qin Tianyou finally chose to detain them.
Although the combat principle of the task force is not to take prisoners, it is rare to encounter a little devil who takes the initiative to raise his hand to surrender, and Qin Tianyou's decision to spare his life will be decided by Hu Biao, which is the safest way.
Since these little devils have chosen to raise their hands and surrender, it means that they have completely admitted defeat and do not dare to be enemies of the task force at all. If Hu Biao still wants to kill, it is also a matter of a bullet, and it doesn't matter much.
Waiting for Qin Tianyou and Hu Biao to converge together, looking at the encirclement and suppression battle that was still going on in the city, Hu Biao also said directly: "Let the troops collect the wounded, and then send them out of the city, find a car and send them back to the temporary camp, and treat them as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes, detachment leader! And what about the few little devils who surrendered? ”
"Put it aside! When they leave, they will be escorted into the mountains. As for how to deal with it, wait until this battle is over! ”
"Yes!"
"Order the troops, if there are little devils who escape from the city, there is no need to continue the pursuit. Clean up the remaining little devils in the city, and all departments will clean up the battlefield. Those intact artillery, they will all be gathered later, waiting for me to deal with them! ”
Knowing that the little devil was in the city and had abandoned a large number of artillery, Hu Biao also felt a little surprised. Think about it, none of these artillery pieces have shells, and even if they stay, they can't pose a threat to the little devils.
But for Hu Biao, as long as these cannons are pulled away, the shells can still find a way to raise some. The worst is the idea, and then the little devils will be reinforced. Once the shells are captured, these guns can be reused.
As one order after another was issued, the troops participating in the clean-up mission also began to become excited. Looking at the weapons abandoned in the city, the combat officers and soldiers who were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield also felt that the large number was terrifying.
The only pity is that most of the weapons do not have ammunition. Fortunately, the officers and men of the battle knew that if these weapons and ammunition were there, they would not have won this battle so easily. After all, it's better to pick up the bargain tonight!
The cleared weapons were also stored in a centralized manner, and Hu Biao would arrange for a vehicle to pull them away later. One of the weapons will still be sent to the 26th Group Army in Huoshan. Hu Biao believes that Xu Yuanquan will definitely not refuse.
More weapons, Hu Biao will be transported to the rear temporary camp along with the wounded. In Hu Biao's view, these seized weapons, after replenishing a batch of ammunition, will be used for favors or sold for money, and I believe that some people will need them.
When the gunfire in the city gradually subsided, looking at the charred corpses of the little devils in the explosion area, a disgusting smell of barbecue still made Hu Biao feel a little unpleasant, and finally ordered the corpses to be collected and landfilled.
Of course, these corpses cannot be buried in the city, but found a relatively hidden place to be buried in a centralized manner. If you really want to be buried in the city, wait for the little devils to surrender in the future, I believe that this ancient city is also abandoned, and no people dare to live in it.
Before and after, Hu Biao led the task force and the rest of the combat troops to eliminate tens of thousands of little devils in Shucheng. In addition to the little devils who were burned to ashes and did not take away, there are still a large number of corpses of little devils that need to be landfilled.
If you really want to bury all these corpses in the city, if they are exhumed in the future, what will happen to them!
After a busy day, Hu Biao found that the sky had already brightened. Fortunately, the captured weapons and ammunition have been sent to Huoshan and the rear station overnight. Those wounded in battle arrived safely at the rear hospital at this moment.
Looking at the big pit covered with mud, Hu Biao also said directly: "Remember this place!" When you meet the surrounding people, remember to tell the people of Shucheng that there are little devils buried here. In the future, I am afraid that no one will dare to come to this place! ”
I think of the mass graves dug up in later generations, most of which were made by little devils. Today's Hu Biao also created the first mass grave to bury little devils on the battlefield. He believes that in the future, it will also become a unique place.
Maybe there will be little devils coming here to worship in the future!
Before the sun rose, all the troops involved in the battle once again retreated into the mountains. The task force responsible for the finishing touches was undoubtedly the last to enter the mountain. They need to put the finishing touches on the battlefield and clean up the traces.
At the same time, the headquarters of the Japanese division, which had been sleepless all night, did not increase its troops in Shucheng again. The reason is simple, the commander of the Japanese division was afraid. First an infantry brigade, then a cavalry wing, and now an infantry brigade.
Half of the elite of the division was buried in Shucheng in just a few days. And they still don't know where the enemy is coming from, what the strength and weapons are. Sending troops again, I'm afraid it won't help.
On the other hand, the 26th Group Army, which was stationed in Huoshan and was already in full battle, saw Lin Jian, who had returned to report the situation in person. After listening to the report, Xu Yuanquan and the two division commanders said with a dull expression: "How is this possible? ”
Overnight, Hu Biao led the guard regiment and some rescued prisoners of war to wipe out an infantry brigade of the Japanese army. Such a brilliant result, in the eyes of Xu Yuanquan and the two division commanders, is completely a miracle that cannot happen!
