Chapter 64: Scolding Battle
I don't know when a megaphone was installed on the Japanese position, and we can often hear it on the east bank, and the Japanese army shouting in the loudspeaker.
Later, we found out that the Japanese used this megaphone as a means of notification of general orders. For example, why Ono is going to the quartermaster to get shoes and socks, Inamoto forgot to change the guard with Suzuki, and so on. I am not afraid of being heard by the enemy, because it is all something that has nothing to do with military intelligence. However, this megaphone is very efficient, eliminating the need for special people to run around the mountain to convey notices, saving a lot of manpower and time, which is very practical.
We Chinese, in addition to having the advantage of being hard-working and hard-working, are also a nation with a talent for learning. A few days after the Japanese army installed the loudspeaker, the same loudspeaker was installed in our neighboring friendly positions, and the purpose was the same, that is, to inform Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Er Mazi of some ordinary military affairs.
But no one can have 24 hours a day, and there are all kinds of trivial things to deal with. It may be that at the behest of the upper peak, in his spare time, the commanders of friendly forces will arrange for special personnel to read some news of our army's recent victories through loudspeakers, which will not only boost the decadent morale of our army, but also blow the confidence of the Japanese troops on the other side. Although there is a language barrier, I believe that the Japanese army will definitely find someone to translate the content we broadcast.
And because the megaphone is very close to Jianlong Bay, the Qiu Ba of the new 200 regiment will be inspired by the content of the megaphone day and night, and their blood will boil.
"General Fu Zuoyi led his troops to recover the five plains after a bloody battle, annihilated more than 4,000 enemies, captured hundreds of enemy soldiers, and captured countless weapons and materials......"
"The 385th Brigade and the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Guerrilla Column each captured the county seat of Liaoxian County in Shanxi Province in the counter-"sweeping", captured 16 artillery pieces, and killed and wounded hundreds of enemy troops......
"General Xue's vanguard troops have broken through the Xinqiang River, annihilated more than 3,000 enemies, killed two enemy captains, and recovered Changsha City is just around the corner......
Our side drew inferences from one another, and the Japanese army immediately learned and used it, and immediately found all kinds of good news belonging to them, and counterattacked us verbally through a megaphone.
The hostile sides of the Taiwan Strait have reached a tacit peace by learning from each other, and if people do not know the inside story, they will think that we have signed an armistice agreement with the Japanese army, and that we are as harmonious as a family.
It's just that in terms of broadcasting good news, we can get our hands on it, and the content we use to show off is really only a handful, far inferior to the Japanese army, so when the Japanese army does not broadcast the news of their victory, we are really a little overwhelmed.
Until one day, when the Japanese army was still chattering and counting their invincibility, our friendly army's loudspeaker was silent for a long time, and suddenly a sentence came out: "Little devil! I am your father! ”
There was an instant silence on both sides of the strait, and soon the Japanese army returned the insults through the loudspeaker, and Sven threw it away and replaced it with rudeness, and the loudspeakers on both sides quickly became the main tool of the scolding war between the two sides in the days that followed.
I think we want to thank Qiu Ba, who scolded the first sentence, and he brought us back from relaxation to nervousness, because when we curse, we always have to guard against the other party's bullets.
This kind of war is at first novel, funny, and finally boring. And Shangfeng's attitude towards such a situation is not to prevent or encourage, and to let it go.
At first, the scolding war between the two sides was only a generalized invective without a specific goal, but later, as time went by, our scolding war gradually escalated, from ordinary soldiers scolding each other to ridiculing and sarcastically mocking the opponent's troop name, and in the end, the Japanese ridiculed us as the sick man of East Asia, and even insulted a name far away in Chongqing. Then we scolded back, in addition to sarcastically ridiculing the Japanese Luo Quan's legs are not long, and brought the eighteenth generation of the Japanese emperor's ancestors to greet together.
The Japanese showed unbearable anger at the emperor who had insulted their god-like existence, and after almost thunderous curses, several rifles poked out of their bunkers, bang, bang! The Japanese began to use force in the war of curses.
The calm was broken, and after a brief period of peace, the two sides of the Nu River finally returned to the battlefield, and the sound of gunfire began to stop day and night, but it was limited to sporadic skirmishes, and the battle situation did not tend to increase further.
At the end of the month, there was an incident in which two Japanese scouts who had smuggled across the river were questioned by the patrol and showed their horses' feet, and after the two Japanese soldiers shot and killed a soldier of the patrol, they ran into the Linmeng Girls' High School and took a teacher and several students hostage on the condition that they be let go.
When I rushed over with someone, Linmeng Girls' High School was already surrounded by patrols, and there were a lot of ordinary people gathered around, including those who had nothing to do to watch the excitement, and some of the students' families who looked anxious.
To my surprise, Tan Zhenshan and my father were also among them, and I walked over to my father and said, "What are you making a fuss about, there will be a fire for a while, but the bullets are not long." ”
My father said, "It's Tan Gong's daughter who is also inside, and I came with Tan Gong!" ”
Tan Zhenshan no longer has the usual calm and unhurried composure: "Camp Commander An, Tan will ask you, please keep the little girl Qinrou safe!" ”
I comforted him and said, "Mr. Tan, don't worry, it's just two Japanese scouts, and in order to survive, they shouldn't hurt anyone else for the time being." ”
Our men replaced the patrol, and I arranged for Ani and a few good marksmen to climb to a high place to see if they could take advantage of the opportunity to kill the enemy.
Ani leaned on the roof and looked at it for a while, then shook her head at me: "I can't see anything, they are all hiding in the house, and they don't show their heads at all." ”
My father came up to me and said, "Since they are Japanese scouts, they are only here to spy on intelligence, and as long as we let them go back safely, I don't think they will hurt others." ”
I said, "Then I have to give an order from the top, and I don't have the right to let them go." ”
Because of Tan Zhenshan's relationship, it didn't take long for the order from Shangfeng to come and let the two Japanese soldiers go, but to ensure that they released the hostages and did not harm the civilians.
My father confidently said, "I went to negotiate with the Japanese and asked them to release some of the students, and we also kept our promises and let them go." ”
I hesitated, "They're not going to take you down, are they?" ”
My father was confident, "No." You just have a prejudice against the Japanese, but in fact they are very easy to get along with. ”
He insisted on going, and I went with him, thinking that these two Japanese soldiers only wanted to escape back to the West Bank, and they would not wait so long to kill them.
The negotiations went well, and the two Japanese soldiers gave assurances that they would not harm anyone as long as they returned them safely to the West Bank.
There were a total of seven or eight hostages held by the Japanese army, including the teacher, and the Japanese army released several of them in order to show their sincerity, and they had already let go of Miss Tan.
We sent a car, and my father took two Japanese soldiers and two student hostages to the Nu River.
