Chapter 540: Closing the Net (2)

Zhang Biao admired Zhang Biao's spirit of sacrificing himself to save his comrades, so he ordered to surround the village and sent a translator to persuade him to surrender, Zhang Biao said that he admired the fearless spirit of these Japanese wounded soldiers, the battle was over, the war was over soon, and he hoped that there would be no more casualties on both sides. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In view of the sacrifice of the other side, Zhang Biao would not hurt them, but the Japanese were very stubborn in refusing to surrender, and they even cut off the head of the translator sent by Zhang Biao to persuade them to surrender.

Zhang Biao was furious, the Japanese didn't know what to do, and even killed his translator, and he immediately ordered to notify the reinforcements of the second division behind him, ready to destroy this stubborn and brutal Japanese wounded army together.

However, it was not only the murder of the interpreter that filled them with righteous indignation, but a villager covered in water suddenly ran to cry that the Japanese had slaughtered the entire village. Zhang Biao was taken aback and asked if the whole people had already moved to the rear, why didn't your village leave? The villagers said that the villagers were reluctant to leave their hometowns, and that Gaohan Village was located in a remote area, and everyone felt that the Japanese would not come, so they refused the Jiangbei government's request to transfer. Even when some young people in the village organized against the Jiangbei government and scolded them for provoking the Japanese, the Jiangbei government staff did not have time to explain, let alone persuade them, so they did not continue the mobilization work. The boys of Gaohan Village were elated, thinking that they had driven away the government and won the victory, and they would never need the bird government again. Na Cheng thought that after the Japanese came last night, they drove out the whole village, they first occupied their houses, and then the Japanese soldiers began to ** the women in the village, and finally slaughtered the men in the village. He survived because when the Japanese came, he caught eels in the fish pond at night, so he jumped into the river and hid under the bridge, and hid in the water under the bridge for a day and a night, so he survived.

"Where are their bodies?" Zhang Biao said angrily.

"It's all in the east of the village, it's all there." The only surviving villager cried.

"My grandmother, brothers, these Japanese, let's kill them all, don't stay any of them!" Zhang Biao shouted.

Although Zhang Biao was very angry, he was not stupid, the casualties of using cavalry to storm the village must have been very large, although the three hundred Japanese troops on the opposite side were all seriously wounded, but their marksmanship was accurate, and there were not many soldiers of their own. Zhang Biao even judged that the reason why the Japanese abandoned the 300 wounded was actually a misjudgment of the number of their own cavalry troops, and if the Japanese knew that only 300 soldiers were chasing them, I am afraid that the Japanese would turn their guns and eat themselves in one bite.

They must not be allowed to guess how many people they really have, Zhang Biao is like his ancestor Zhang Fei at this point, he is thick on the outside and thin on the inside, he must continue to pursue the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army will have a wrong judgment, thinking that these 300 Japanese wounded soldiers have been completely annihilated. So he left a hundred men to entangle the wounded Japanese soldiers to prevent them from escaping, and waited for the follow-up infantry to support the total annihilation. Zhang Biao himself continued to lead more than 200 other cavalry to pursue other Japanese troops, making the Japanese slow and unable to make correct judgments.

Zhang Biao's approach was correct, along the way of the pursuit, the cavalry regiment successively found many Japanese soldiers or corpses lying on the ground, they ignored the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and killed all the abandoned soldiers of the Japanese army. It can be inferred from the practices of the Japanese army that although the Zhanggang Town Resistance Battle this time broke the muscles and bones of the Second Division, it also caused heavy losses to the Japanese army, and Nagaoka Waishi even made the decision to discard the wounded soldiers.

On June 2, Zhang Biao's cavalry unit pursued to Taixian and stopped, and the 19th Brigade of the Japanese Army joined up with the 1,000 Japanese defenders left in Taixian, and Zhang Biao had to be forced to withdraw with the cavalry. When he returned to Gaohan Village, Mao Sanqiu, the acting head of the first regiment, led a force of more than 1,000 people to capture Gaohan Village and captured more than 100 Japanese prisoners.

It turned out that after Li Zuzhi got the news that Gaohan Village was slaughtered, he was naturally furious, and Mao Sanqiu, the former reconnaissance company commander, was entrusted with an important task, and he must not let go of a little devil. Then Mao Sanqiu removed more than 1,000 small injuries and soldiers who could still run from the army, followed him to Gaohan Village on two legs, and finally joined up with the cavalry company that stayed to supervise the Japanese army, and finally conquered Gaohan Village.

In fact, they did not encounter any great difficulties in attacking Gaohan Village, because the wounded Japanese soldiers did not eat anything for two days and two nights, and in addition, they were covered with wounds, and many of them died without even firing. After capturing Gaohan Village, the Jiangbei Army found that 89 of these Japanese wounded soldiers had died before the war, and the rest only resisted for a while, either committing suicide or giving up their weapons and choosing to surrender.

"I thought the Japanese would all commit suicide." Mao Sanqiu smiled and said, in this attack, only seven or eight people in his troops were injured, and no one was killed, which made him feel very good. However, Mao Sanqiu has nothing to be proud of, a group of people can still hold out for an hour under his army after two days of hunger, if they are healthy, I am afraid that the outcome of this battle will be different.

Zhang Biao dismounted, almost stumbling to the ground from exhaustion, blood grinding out from the inside of both legs, and he was exhausted from the grappling with the Japanese along the way.

"It's okay, Captain Zhang?" Mao Sanqiu asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, I just haven't slept for two days, and I'm sleepy." Zhang Biao said with a smile, he looked at the more than 100 Japanese wounded soldiers, and suddenly sneered: "Xiao Mao, discuss one thing with you." ”

"Head Zhang, you say." Although Mao Sanqiu served as the acting head of the first regiment, after all, he was not as good as the real head of the regiment Zhang Biao, and he was quickly promoted to the acting head of the first regiment, which also belonged to the general Liao Hua as a pioneer in Shuzhong.

"Slaughter all these little Japans." Zhang Biao said coldly, "Pull to the east of the village, slaughter them in front of the graves of the villagers, and avenge the people of Gaohan Village." I will take responsibility for this matter, and if the military department asks, I will tell them that this is my decision. ”

"What do you mean? Co-author: I'm a person who can't afford to do anything in your eyes? Mao Sanqiu said angrily, "If something happens, let's bear it together, and no one can run away from anyone." He then laughed, pointed to the Japanese prisoners of war and said: "Actually, Commander Zhang, you said that we will bring back these wounded Japanese devils, and our own medicine is not enough." You see that we have so many wounded soldiers, how can there be medicine to save them, right? ”

Zhang Biao sighed: "No matter how ignorant these villagers are, they are also our compatriots, so they can't just forget it." ”

So the Japanese prisoners of war came and pulled them to the mass grave in the east of the village, and the Japanese may have known their fate, so they began to struggle, and were severely beaten by the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army and forcibly pressed in front of hundreds of graves.

The only survivor in the village, wearing a white filial piety suit, knelt in front of the grave and cried, shouting: "Father, mother, uncle, eldest brother, second brother, Xichun'er, my son, my daughter, my fellow villagers, the Jiangbei Army has avenged you, avenged you!" ”

Subsequently, in front of the only survivor of the village, the Jiangbei army cut off the heads of more than 100 Japanese prisoners of war with machetes, and the heads were arranged in a row, which looked very eerie and terrifying. It wasn't until decades later, when the Japanese devils returned in World War II, that the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were collected, but they did not dare to slaughter the villagers for fear of future reprisals.
