Chapter 399: Reason

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who bowed respectfully to themselves, Huang Jianguo asked curiously, "Do any of you speak Chinese?" ”

As soon as his words fell, a voice rang out: "Your Excellency, Honorable Colonel, I will speak...... Speak some Chinese! ”

Huang Jian*guo carefully looked at the Japanese soldier who spoke, and found a yellow bar on a red background and three white five-pointed stars on the armband on his shoulder, knowing that this was a military commander (equivalent to the rank of sergeant), he asked lightly: "Since you know Chinese, it will be easy to do, report your name, position and rank!" ”

"Hay!" The commander of the army saluted Huang Jian* Guozheng and said loudly: "The first squadron and the first small squadron of the 177th Brigade of the 103rd Division, the 80th Brigade, and the first squadron of the 177th Brigade salute Your Excellency!" ”

"Oh!"

Huang Jian*guo asked with some curiosity: "If I remember correctly, don't you Japanese hate being a prisoner the most, how can you take the initiative to surrender, this is contrary to the spirit of your bushido!" And you had time to flee just now, so there was no need to surrender to us, huh? ”

Taro Kanhara had a bitter smile on his face: "Because we want to live." Seeing the puzzled look on the faces of Huang Jianguo and the officers around him, he explained: "Our brigade from the captain to the squadron leader and squad leader were all killed, and only us were left, if we fled back, we would definitely be ordered to be disemboweled, but I don't want to die, I want to go home alive and join my wife and regiment, so I surrendered to you." ”

Huang Jianguo asked again: "Are you all mobilized soldiers?" ”

"Yes!" Taro Kanhara said respectfully: "I originally retired four years ago, but because of this damn war. I had to put on this uniform again to fight, and most of them were forced recruits, and we were all very much against this war. So if you are willing to surrender to your army, please accept us! ”

After Guan Yuan Taro finished speaking, the whole person raised a ninety-degree bow to Huang Jian*guo, and put on a look of being ready to fight and kill.

Seeing ******'s thoughtful appearance, Jia Shimao on the side interjected: "Tuanza, these Japanese devils came to our Huaxia to burn, kill and plunder and do all kinds of evil, why do you keep them." Simply kill them all, saving a waste of food. ”

When Taro Kanhara heard this, he immediately became anxious, and said loudly: "This chief...... We have only been in China for a few months. We've never killed civilians, and those guys who killed the poor were all done by those guys in the Standing Division, we...... We are all innocent! ”

"Innocent?" Rao is Huang Jian*guo was thinking about his thoughts, but he was also amused by Guan Yuan Taro's words. An aggressor turned out to be innocent to them. That's funny, isn't it?

After Guan Yuan Taro finished speaking, he and the Japanese soldiers on the side looked at Huang Jian*guo with blank eyes, they knew that their fate was in the hands of this colonel at this time, and he could decide the life and death of more than ten of his people with one sentence.

Huang Jianguo pondered for a while before he said: "I can't call the shots about your affairs, I have to report to our general, so let's do it, we will send someone to escort you back to Hengzhou later, and let our army commander decide!" ”

Listened to Huang Jianguo's words. Although Taro Kanhara was still a little disappointed, he also knew that this kind of thing was indeed not something that the colonel in front of him could decide. He turned his head and said a few words to the Japanese soldiers behind him, after learning that his group could live a few more days, these Japanese soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, although they didn't know what the fate of returning to Hengzhou would be, at least now they could live a few more days was enough.

After sending people to suppress these captives who surrendered voluntarily, Huang Jian*guo ordered the first battalion to continue to advance, while Jia Shimao and his third company remained in the vanguard.

When Yuguchi Shuntaro heard that the 177th Brigade had only resisted for less than half a day and then the whole army was annihilated, he immediately ordered the troops to begin to shrink the defensive line, intending to defend the areas of Zhengyang Village, Rangchang Village and Jiangfeng Village, and strictly ordered the troops not to attack without authorization.

Yuguchi Shuntaro knew that his unit was nominally a brigade, but in reality there were only four infantry brigades, at best two-thirds the size of other brigades. The Huaxia people on the opposite side were able to eat nearly 1,000 people of the 177 Brigade in just a few hours, which shows the strength of the opponent's combat effectiveness. And the other side also has planes to help, if he is dizzy and dares to attack without authorization, I am afraid that it will not be long before his 80th Brigade will follow in the footsteps of the 177th Brigade.

After arranging all this, Shuntaro Yuguchi picked up the phone again and said, "Moxi Moxi......"

Outside Zhengyang Village, Xiang Yihang was holding an aluminum lunch box and shaved sorghum rice, and while he was shaving the highlighted rice in the lunch box, he said to Jia Shimao beside him: "Company commander, you said that this place is also the land of fish and rice, why can we only eat sorghum rice here, when can we eat rice." ”

Jia Shimao knocked on his head and scolded: "Don't be dissatisfied, you kid, you don't look at what we eat." There is enough sorghum rice, there is a canned pork every day, there are sugar cubes and tea leaves for you to chew after meals, and a box of cigarettes will be issued to you every two days. White flowers' rice? Why don't you let the military seat send you another mother-in-law! ”

Xiang Yihang touched his knocked head and smiled a little embarrassed, to be honest, if the food of the 202nd Army is compared with the rich Yankees, it is naturally quite inferior, but if it is compared with other national * armies today, it is simply in heaven.

Some people may ask, Su Jin has a cash store in hand, and he can use energy points to cash out a large amount of food for the soldiers to eat, but the problem is that it is really necessary to feed the soldiers according to the food standards of the US army, and the more than 60,000 people in the army consume too many energy points every day and it is too eye-catching. So Su Jin made a reduced version, but even the reduced food is much better than the other **** troops today, and it is already like heaven for the Chinese soldiers who are used to living a hard life. The reason why the combat effectiveness of the 202nd Army is so much higher than that of other **** is that in addition to advanced weapons, this food is also an important reason.

After eating a few more bites of food, a voice sounded on the side: "Company Commander Jia, the battalion commander has something to do with you!" ”

"What...... The battalion commander looking for me? ”

Jia Shimao hurriedly finished eating the remaining sorghum rice in the lunch box, then wiped his mouth and followed the signal soldier towards the battalion headquarters. (To be continued.) )
