Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Attack on Hangzhou
One day, I was holding an operational meeting with several regiment commanders at the brigade headquarters, and I said to several regiment commanders: "Ladies and gentlemen, I received an order from the military headquarters yesterday to let our brigade attack Hangzhou. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Regiment Commander Huang said: "Brigade commander, you are very good at fighting, we just listen to you." The other heads nodded in agreement with Captain Huang's words.
When I heard what they said, I was completely speechless. I said, "As long as you don't say I'm a word." Everyone laughed when they heard me.
I said: "In the past few years, the Japanese army has carried out that iron bucket encirclement and suppression, but it has made us miserable, and I have decided to return it to the Japanese army with a tooth for a tooth, do you agree with my plan?" Everyone nodded.
I said to Commander Wu: "Old Wu, your regiment will go to the east gate of Hangzhou to station, the Japanese army in the city will go out of the city, you will destroy me, if there is support for me, just give me back, I have asked the soldiers to cut off the enemy's telephone line, the Japanese army in the city will not be able to contact the outside world, there should be no support." Lao Wu nodded.
I asked the 3rd Regiment to be stationed at the North City Gate, the 2nd Regiment to be stationed at the West City Gate, and the 4th Regiment to be stationed at the South City Gate so that the Japanese troops in Hangzhou City could not leave the city.
In this way, we have been besieging the city of Hangzhou for three months, and the Japanese troops in the city are guarding us in fear, and they have run out of ammunition and food.
In the city of Hangzhou, there was a room in the garrison of the Imperial Allied Army, and in it sat four or five Imperial Allied Troops chatting.
One of them asked the other: "The regiment commander is now besieging the city of Hangzhou by the New Fourth Army, and now the Japanese support can't come in." We can't get out, we've run out of ammunition. What are we going to do? ”
The regiment commander said fiercely: "The Japanese are now autumn grasshoppers and can't reach a few days, I mean let's negotiate with the New Fourth Army." ”
The rest of the people thought about it and nodded helplessly, and the regiment commander saw that they all nodded and said, "Then I will find a reliable person to go out of the city to negotiate now." ”
The others agreed, and the regiment commander called the staff officer over and said, "Staff Officer Zhang, look at the current situation in the city, I want you to negotiate with the New Fourth Army, so that we can live." ”
Staff Officer Zhang nodded and said: "Regiment commander, now the Japanese in the city are unable to protect themselves, they don't have time to care about our life or death, we have to find another way out, I agree to negotiate with the New Fourth Army." Where would I like to go to the New Fourth Army. ”
In the evening, a person came out of the city gate through a crack, and this person secretly looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he ran to the station of the Second Regiment of the Brigade directly under the New Fourth Army.
When the soldiers of the second regiment saw a man running out of the city, they pointed a gun at this person and asked, "Don't move, don't go forward." ”
The man raised his hands and shouted, "Don't shoot, I'm here on behalf of the Imperial Army." When the soldier heard this, he let the man enter the regimental headquarters with his hands raised.
After entering the regimental headquarters, the soldiers came to Li Na and said, "The Imperial Cooperative Army in the Great Wall of the regiment has sent people to surrender to us. "Li Na told you warriors to go out. (Li Na is a big boss in the cottage, she is still a second-generation bandit, a cottage created by her father.) Later, after my incorporation, he is now the commander of the second regiment. )
Staff Officer Zhang looked at the woman in front of him and said in surprise: "Are you the supreme commander here, I want to negotiate with the supreme chief here." ”
Li Na said: "I am the head of the regiment here, what do you have to tell me." Staff Officer Zhang said: "I am negotiating with you on behalf of the commander of our Imperial Association. ”
Li Na sneered and said, "Negotiation, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with us, you are already surrounded by us, like a caged bird." You've run out of ammunition and food now, and we've been around for dozens of days, and you'll all starve to death. Go back and tell your commander that you all surrender to me tomorrow night, or we will surround us here. ”
Staff Officer Zhang returned to the city, and he reported the situation to the regiment commander. After listening to Staff Officer Zhang's words, the regiment commander laughed and said, "It is impossible for them to besiege the city for thirty or forty days, aren't they afraid that there will be no food?" ”
Staff Officer Zhang remembered what the woman said, and felt that there was no impossibility. He broke out in a cold sweat and said to the regiment commander: "Regiment commander, they have ordinary people as the rear, of course they are not afraid." But we don't have so much food, and the people in the city have all the food that the Japanese have robbed, so let's surrender. ”
The head of the regiment looked at him and said, "You go out first, I'll think about it later." Staff Officer Zhang said: "Then I won't bother the regiment commander, no matter what you decide, I will follow you." (But what I thought in my heart was: If you don't surrender tomorrow, I will surrender too.) )
After Staff Officer Zhang went out, the regiment commander had a sad face, he wanted to negotiate with the New Fourth Army to have a good future, but the New Fourth Army did not need to negotiate at all.
The next day, the regiment commander summoned his subordinates with a haggard face and said to his subordinates: "Everyone did not succeed with the New Fourth Army last night, they asked us to surrender, let's talk about what to do." ”
The subordinates thought about it and discussed it, and finally they made a difficult decision, they were going to surrender en masse. When the regiment commander saw that everyone was about to surrender, his heart was also liberated.
The regiment commander pretended to say: "Well, everyone is going to surrender, and I have nothing to say." Then let's go out of the city through the West Gate tonight, and everyone will go back and gather the troops. The people nodded and went back to gather their troops.
At night, a group of Imperial Cooperative troops came out of the West City Gate, and they came to the station of the Second Regiment with white flags in their hands, and the soldiers reported to Li Na when they saw it.
Li Na asked the soldiers to accept this batch of Imperial Allied Army and sent them to the brigade headquarters. After all the Imperial Allied troops handed over their guns, I came to them and said, "Everyone is Chinese, why do you want to give your life to the Japanese, the Japanese are the invaders." Sooner or later they will return to their country, and what will you do then? You will be scolded by the common people, so that your parents will not be able to hold their heads up. ”
When the Imperial Allies heard my words, they bowed their heads in shame, and I said, "Now that you have surrendered, it shows that you still have some conscience." Now you have two paths to take. ”
Those Imperial Allies immediately raised their heads and asked a little frightened: "What about those two roads?" I smiled and said, "The first is that I will give you the money to go home, and the second is that I will let you join our New Fourth Army." ”
Those Imperial Cooperative Army were relieved to hear my words, and some of them chose to go home, and only a few remained, including Staff Officer Zhang.
I dispersed the remaining Imperial Concordant troops into various units to prevent them from rebelling.
The next day, Yamamoto, the commander's office of the Japanese army headquarters in Hangzhou, was listening to a song leisurely when a Japanese soldier ran in front of him.
The Japanese soldier nodded to Yamamoto and said profusely: "Oh no, Commander, the Imperial Allied Army secretly went out of the city last night and surrendered to the New Fourth Army." ”
Yamamoto stood up angrily, slapped the table and scolded: "These bastards, you immediately send soldiers to guard the West City Gate." The Japanese soldier nodded and went out.
When Yamamoto saw his men go out, he sat down on a chair with his head down. In the past few days, they robbed the people without food, but until the people quietly went out of the city, there was no more food, and now the imperial army has surrendered.
Yamamoto was really a little envious of the Imperial Allied Army who surrendered, he suddenly had a bold idea but quickly removed it.
I see that the time is almost up, so I will learn from Liu Bei to be embattled. I asked Wang Xiaoya to teach the soldiers Japanese songs, and let the soldiers sing Japanese songs around the city.
As soon as the Japanese troops in the city saw that the New Fourth Army was surrounded by the city, they reported to Yamamoto. Yamamoto heard the report from his subordinates and said to himself, "Are you finally going to attack?" He seemed to feel relieved.
When Yamamoto came to the castle tower, he heard the Japanese songs he was familiar with, and he missed his hometown when he listened to them. One of the Japanese soldiers put their guns on the ground, and the other Japanese soldiers put their guns on the ground when they saw them.
When Yamamoto saw this, he said, "What are you doing here, pick up the gun on the ground." But the Japanese didn't hear him, and they were still there listening to the song.
When Yamamoto saw that these Japanese soldiers no longer had the will to fight, his previous thoughts suddenly popped up again.
Yamamoto asked the soldiers to open the city gate, and he asked the soldiers to raise the white flag, and when I saw the Japanese army raise the white flag and open the city gate, I knew that my plan had succeeded.
I ordered everyone to take prisoners, and the Japanese headquarters I came to the city was now the brigade headquarters directly under the New Fourth Army.
I was sitting in my office checking the documents of the Japanese army, and a soldier came into the office and saluted me and said, "Report to the brigade commander, Yamamoto wants to see you." I said, "Let him in." ”
When Yamamoto came in, he saw a familiar office and felt sorry for it, but now the office has changed owners. When I saw Yamamoto come in, I asked, "Your Excellency, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
Yamamoto said, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I would like to ask you to send us back to Japan safely. I was a little embarrassed and said, "There is a war going on now, and we don't have a ship, so I can only let you go, and you can figure it out for yourself." If you dare to show up on the battlefield, I will kill you. ”
Yamamoto immediately nodded and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." "I let the warriors let them out of the city.
Xiao Jiu saw that I had released the Japanese soldiers like this, so he asked puzzledly: "Brigade commander, you let them go like this." I sneered and said to Xiao Jiu: "They don't dare to go back to the Japanese army now, they only have one way back to Japan." But they can't go back to China if they don't have money, and if they don't have guns, they will be beggars in China. Xiao Jiu laughed after hearing my words.
