Chapter 86: An ultimatum
Doctor Li had just changed the medicine, and Qian Sixi was wearing a military uniform, leaning on the marching bed and holding a military map in a daze. This is all learned from Gao Quan, Qian Sixi, Wang Dazhu, Zhang Erxiao, these high-level generals of the 500 Army when they are on the battlefield, they all love to look at the map, as if they can find out some clever strategies from this map.
Anyway, Zhao Ziming couldn't find inspiration from the map, maybe it had something to do with the fact that he joined the 500 Army for too short, right? Looking at Qian Sixi, who had been thinking about the map for more than ten minutes, Zhao Ziming couldn't help but feel envious.
"Brigadier Qian, when are we going to wait?" The persuasion and shouting have been going on for more than two hours, and the gang of devils in the encirclement still haven't made any movement, neither desperately breaking through the encirclement nor surrendering, just spending it there. Zhao Ziming waited for a long time without moving, and couldn't help but interrupt Brigade Commander Qian's contemplation.
"Huh? Ziming, how many times have I told you, don't call Brigade Commander Qian Qian, more points? Since you have joined the 500 Brigade, we are brothers! From now on, they should be commensurate with each other. Qian Sixi was wandering outside the world, obviously not hearing what Zhao Ziming was saying, but he vaguely heard the voice of Brigade Commander Qian, and seized this point and began to correct Zhao Ziming's title.
"Oh, four, four, brother." Why is it so awkward when Brother Zhao Ziming screams? "The devils don't fight or surrender, we can't just accompany them to spend it all the time, right?"
"Consume it? Of course not. "This time, Qian Sixi heard clearly what Brigade Commander Zhao said," the words that the military seat confessed when he left wanted to capture the captives of these devils! Now there are not many people left in this devil brigade, and if we make another dozen of them, maybe we won't be able to catch a single captive! What do you have to think of to catch some prisoners? As he spoke, Qian Sixi's eyes turned to the map again.
"Why don't we send a small force to wait until it's dark and catch them one by one?" Zhao Ziming did this when he was fighting guerrilla warfare before, but at that time, he didn't capture prisoners, he quietly killed the devils who fell alone.
"This is a good idea!" Qian Sixi applauded loudly. He once served as the commander of the earliest reconnaissance company of this unit, and he still has a lot of experience in catching lonely devils. The two brigade commanders put their heads together and began to study the selection of the prisoner squad.
"Report, military command." The correspondent shouted the report and handed over a draft of the telegram.
Qian Sixi took it and quickly skimmed it from beginning to end, and then handed it to Zhao Ziming. "Okay, now we don't need to send any capture team, the military seat even has a deadline." The meaning of the words seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but there was a relaxed smile on his face.
"Before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, we must end the battle, move towards Chunhua Mountain, and support the main battlefield of Chunhua Mountain?" Zhao Ziming looked at Qian Sixi with a surprised face, but when he saw that Qian Sixi had that expression on his face, he was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh, "Wow!" Let's give him an ultimatum! The military seat has ordered us to end the battle at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and we will give the devil two hours in advance, and inform the devil to surrender before seven o'clock tomorrow morning, otherwise, we will give him an all-out attack! ”
"Seven o'clock no, it's too late!" Qian Sixi sat up straight, and there was Zhan Zhan Guanghua in his eyes, "At five o'clock tomorrow morning, the devil must surrender!" Since the military seat has given this order, it means that the Chunhua Mountain battlefield needs our two brigades! We reserve four hours for the battle, and if it can end early, we will support Chunhua Mountain in advance! "There is Wang Dazhu in Chunhua Mountain, and there is the military commander Gao Quan, Qian Sixi doesn't want to play with the devils here anymore.
"Japanese soldiers, now play the ultimatum, now play the ultimatum: It is 23:48 on September 26, our army has ordered your troops to lay down their arms and surrender before 5 o'clock in the morning of September 27, and our army will attack in an all-out way at 5 o'clock tomorrow, so please seize the last good chance for survival of the Japanese officers and men. If there are Japanese officers and soldiers who are willing to surrender alone. Our army is equally willing to receive. It is hoped that the vast number of Japanese officers and men will not make mistakes and make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the time will be burned and it will be too late to regret it. ……”
The 500 Brigade and the Supplementary Brigade have already surrounded the last group of devils, and they are not afraid of the devils picking out something, so they simply made it clear the final attack time, whether you like to surrender or not, anyway, the rest of the people will be finished after then!
Kobayashi Taro sat cross-legged on a military blanket, listening to the Japanese radio from opposite with his eyes closed, his face expressionless, just like a monk meditating in a temple.
"Shaozuo, what do you think we should do?" A lieutenant officer next to him dared to ask his young son. The remaining few devil officers also looked at Kobayashi Taro with anticipation.
"Ugh." Before you speak, sigh first. With a long sigh, Kobayashi Shaozuo opened his eyes, "What else can we do?" When this time comes, it is time for us to be loyal to the Emperor! Tomorrow at five o'clock, when the Chinese army begins to attack, I will be loyal to the emperor! ”
"Shaozuo, you can't!" The voice of another captain next to him was already crying, "There must be a way!" We can ask Tachibana Daisa for help again, to the division headquarters, and to General Kitano! Ask for aviation support, airdrop ammunition supplies! Ask for reinforcements! General Kitano will not watch the Eighth Brigade perish. ”
"It's useless, Ono-kun." Kobayashi Taro looked at this former classmate and friend of his, and his eyes showed deep helplessness, "Osa has already sent reinforcements, but the Honda squadron leader has not broken through the interception of the Chinese at all, and Tachibana Osa will no longer send reinforcements!" General Kitano may not want the Eighth Brigade to perish, but whether it is the aviation force or other reinforcements, may they come before five o'clock tomorrow morning? Or will we be able to hold out in the face of a full-scale attack by the Chinese army? ”
As soon as he said this, all the officers present stopped talking. If you can't fight and there are no reinforcements, what should you do? It seems that there is no other way out but death, right?
"Shaozo, you send one last telegram to Tachibana Daisa, report the time of the ultimatum that the Chinese said, if the wing still does not act, then we." The lieutenant didn't say anything further than that, but everyone here understood what he meant.
"Alright, gentlemen, I'll send a report to Osa and General Kitano. Please return to your respective posts. The troops still need to be led by you. Kobayashi Shaozuo waved his hand tiredly, and the officers around him saluted and withdrew one by one.
At three o'clock in the morning, the gunfire from all around suddenly intensified! Kobayashi Shaozuo jumped up from the blanket and subconsciously went to look at his watch, huh? It's only three o'clock, and there are still two hours before five o'clock, did the Chinese launch it in advance?
