For many residents living in Saigon, the moment the fighting began, many were afraid to flee in all directions, fearing that they would be affected by the warring parties. For them, perhaps the most fearful thing is war.

But things seem to have developed beyond their imagination. I thought it would last for a long time, and the battle would be fierce, but it seemed to be over soon. After the gunfire subsided, many residents who were hiding in their homes looked a little surprised.

"Is it over so soon? Who won the hell? Could it be that the little devil repelled the attacking Xinghua army so quickly? Didn't you say before that the Xinghua army was attacking the city on a large scale? Finished so soon? ”

The people who hid in their homes and wondered why the gunfire had died down did not until long after the gunfire had subsided and heard the sound of people moving outside the house that they cautiously opened the door of their homes to see how the battle was going.

When they see acquaintances, they will ask curiously: "Who won?" ”

"I don't know, I just came out! Let's go, why don't we go and have a look? ”

"It's dangerous, isn't it?"

"It should be fine! You see, the gunfire has been quiet for a long time! ”

Just when the people in the city began to gather in groups of three or five, intending to go to the front to see the situation. Some of the people living on Main Street were also shocked to see that they had taken over Sai Kung City and started putting up notices and patrolling the city.

Ban Xiang said: "How is this possible? The Imperial Army lost? ”

"Who knows! However, it's best not to fight, if we really want to continue fighting, our store will definitely suffer. I really can't imagine that these Chinese are so powerful now, and the imperial army that fights has no power to fight back! ”

"Nonsense! I heard that the imperial army in the city surrendered voluntarily, and they did not die with the Chinese at all. ”

After some people who understood the situation said such things, someone quickly retorted: "The imperial army surrendered on its own initiative? How is this possible? Isn't it a joke that the Imperial Army is still afraid of these Chinese troops? ”

"Fart joke, that's what it is! Since yesterday evening, the imperial army in the city has sent several thousand people out, and I heard that they were preparing to attack Chinatown on the embankment, but they were counter-surrounded by the Chinese troops.

My brother-in-law lives on the embankment, and he saw it with his own eyes last night. Originally, I wanted to come to my house for refuge today, but I didn't expect that the Chinese troops would come again. The imperial army that was forced to surrender voluntarily is really unbelievable! ”

These city residents, who are locals, have been somewhat disdainful and even jealous of the Chinese in the early days. But now that they heard the news, they were still very shocked, and finally realized that the Chinese were indeed not easy to mess with.

Looking at the patrols of the Xinghua Army who were fully armed and well-groomed, the eyes of these locals also had a little more awe. For many locals, they have become accustomed to subservience to the strong.

Whoever can take Saigon, they will obey whomever they want. Earlier he was a French colonist, and later he was a little devil. Now that they are replaced by the Chinese Xinghua Army, which has already risen, they naturally know what to do, and they also know not to provoke the Chinese in the future.

On the other hand, Wu Hao, who led the troops to take over Saigon City and accepted the surrender of the infantry wing commander at this moment, said very directly: "Mr. Nakamura, our commander-in-chief welcomes your decision the most, and also instructs me to ensure the safety of you and your subordinates.

Considering the follow-up of your military department, you will definitely continue to fight or negotiate with us. I will now convey the order of our commander-in-chief, and give you and your subordinates two choices, and I hope you will consider it carefully.

The infantry wings under your command, as well as the officers and men we captured in our earlier battles, will be placed under your command. As for your fears that we will execute your brigade commander, you can rest assured that we will not do such a thing.

Next, if your military department chooses to continue to fight with us, then you have two choices, one is to join us and become our supernumerary. Another option is for the two of you to stay here instead of helping each other.

However, one thing I need to remind you of is that the decision you make is likely to cause you a lot of trouble. Although I have ordered that this secret be kept. But I believe that sooner or later this matter will be known to your military headquarters.

Wait a minute, please let us know the address of your family in China, and we will contact the Salvation Association in your home country to protect your family and move them to a safe zone. We will also give you or your family the rewards you deserve. ”

Listening to Wu Hao's words, Captain Nakamura, who ordered the troops to stop resisting, was also surprised: "You can really protect the safety of my family?" Is it too late? ”

"Don't worry! Our Xinghua Army has a good relationship with the National Salvation Association, although the National Salvation Association does not have many armed forces in your homeland. You can transfer your family, I believe there is still no problem, you can rest assured of this. ”

"Thank you! Thank you so much for thinking of me! ”

"It's okay! When it comes to friends, we Xinghuajun are still very sincere. Later, you can also announce to your subordinates what I said earlier, and if you don't want to be a supernumerary member of our soldiers, we will also provide him with food here.

If your military department chooses to negotiate with us, we will not stop these soldiers from returning to the army. And the soldiers who are willing to stay, join us, or join the Salvation Association, please have people registered.

As long as you join the supernumerary units of the Xinghua Army, or the soldiers of the National Salvation Association, we will also pay a certain amount of military salary. If you can contribute, you will also be given a generous bonus.

You can choose to receive the money yourself, or you can choose to entrust the Salvation Association to convert the money into supplies and transfer it to their families in China. In fact, in the combat sequence of the Xinghua Army, there are also quite a few of you.

Considering your subordinates, it may seem a little lost at the moment. Our commander-in-chief has instructed us to pick up a few key members of the Salvation Association as soon as possible to tell your subordinates about the benefits of joining us or joining them.

There are some things, even if I don't talk about them, I believe Mr. Nakamura should have heard about them. Compared to your overseas garrison, although you can receive a corresponding salary every month. But with this amount of money, I'm afraid it's hard to ensure your family's life in the local area, right?

If you join us, as long as we verify your information, the corresponding military pay will be converted into supplies and delivered to the families of your soldiers. If there is a situation, the Salvation Association will also provide corresponding protective measures! ”

When Wu Hao told about these benefits, the two captains under Captain Nakamura also looked very surprised and said, "General Wu, can you really send things directly to our family?" ”

"It should be fine! As long as your family doesn't live in a place that is too dangerous. In fact, among the Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang today, the National Salvation Association has recruited many people. The Salvation Society is doing this for the sake of your lives.

After all, the war has continued until now, and I believe you also know in your hearts how many young people you have died in this war. If you continue to fight like this, you may not be able to see the existence of young people in your own country in the future.

Now that the Allies are pushing into your homeland, what do you think will happen if the Allies enter your own island? And you are the hope of revival that the Salvation Council hopes to preserve. Therefore, I hope that you will consider my suggestion carefully! ”

"Thank you, General Wu, we will definitely think about it!"

In Zhao Tiehu's plan, these surrendered Japanese troops, who were difficult to accept by the Japanese army, would be trained in the secret camp of the Xinghua Army. Then he took a ship of the Xinghua Army and secretly sent it back to the main island of Japan.

As far as the current situation of the National Salvation Association is concerned, there are a few people engaged in politics, but there are a few people engaged in guns. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly very necessary to send additional troops to the National Salvation Association.

As long as the National Salvation Association has a strong combat force in its hands, Zhao Tiehu believes that it will also play a very important role in the development of the National Salvation Association. With the army in hand, the Salvation Congress had a chance to overthrow the current government before the Allies.

Even according to Zhao Tiehu's meaning, the troops of the future salvation country must preempt the Allies and control some factories and some banks built in Japan. And these things, Zhao Tiehu hopes to grab them in advance.

In addition, Zhao Tiehu also considered arresting and executing all the war criminals who had committed numerous crimes when the future salvation congress launched an uprising. If it is possible, he does not want to let go even the current emperor.

At present, the Japanese army sent in Southeast Asia and Nanyang, and even the Japanese army in the future Chinese battlefield, Zhao Tiehu hopes to control the hands of the National Salvation Association. In that case, it is believed that the Allies must also pay attention to the existence of the Salvation Congress.

The captain of the Nakamura Wing gathered his subordinates and announced the decision of the Xinghua Army against them, and many soldiers were very surprised. Even some officers and soldiers who had felt humiliated earlier began to think about the pros and cons of continuing to resist and obey.

When Wu Hao ordered the first division to begin to take over Saigon City, and made plans to meet the counterattack of the Japanese army. After receiving a telegram from a secret spy station in Saigon, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in Burma also found it incredulous.

"Yaga! How is it possible for a wing to surrender to the Xinghua Army? What a shame! ”

Knowing that the Nakamura Wing had voluntarily ordered to abandon resistance and even controlled the garrison commander in Saigon, the generals of the Japanese headquarters stationed in French Indochina found it very difficult to accept such a bad call.

In their opinion, this news shocked them more than the occupation of Saigon by the Hung Hua army. After all, after such news spreads, I am afraid that it will affect the morale of the Japanese army, and it will also have a very bad impact!

It's just that in the face of the news that the Saigon area was occupied by a large force of the Xinghua Army, the Japanese commanders stationed in Myanmar also began to have some headaches. Saigon was not a military stronghold, but it was also very important to the Japanese army.

If they don't recapture this place, then the Xinghua Army and the Chinese Anti-Japanese War Force will be able to open a strategic passage from the Saigon area to Yunnan. In this way, it will also affect the overall layout of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia!
