309 surrendered
"Weiyuan...... It's a deserted place. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" put down the binoculars in his hand, looking at the small village where there were no houses left, Mo Dongshan leaned against a pine tree and whispered in his mouth.
Originally, this was still a small town, but because the Japanese army wanted to build a defense line on the Yalu River nearby, the men here were conscripted to serve in labor, and most of the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled also fled, so that the remaining people were pitiful, and many buildings were even empty.
In the morning, it was patronized by the Lei Gong 1 dive bombers dispatched by the air force of the Ming Empire, and 10 planes carrying bombs destroyed more than half of the buildings in the town, leaving only some ruins still standing in the ruins, looking so lonely and dilapidated.
"There are about 200 Japanese troops who can be seen, and there may be more than 300 troops if you count the troops that cannot be seen...... The number of Japanese troops stationed here was not large, and it seems that they were not well prepared. Mo Dongshan muttered quietly as he retreated from behind the pine tree to a safe place.
Then he and another soldier took their weapons and walked around some dry bushes and returned to the friendly positions. A lieutenant officer was holding a map that was not detailed, checking the photos brought back by the reconnaissance plane, looking for the target he needed to identify.
"Well, how many Japanese soldiers are there in the town? Is there any heavy fire support? The lieutenant saw Mo Dongshan coming back, put down the information in his hand, and asked softly: "Are there any trenches and other facilities?" Also, isn't it a suitable place for us to defend? ”
"There are so many ruins that it's not easy to observe...... I saw about 200 Japanese soldiers, but it was possible that more were hidden, 300, maybe more than 500 at most. Mo Dongshan pointed to a few approximate locations on the map and reported to his commander: "The enemy has not arranged too dense fortifications, as for whether there is heavy firepower, I can't see clearly, it is too easy to camouflage." ”
Because of the bombing of the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber, the whole town is now in ruins, and in these ruins, it is simply too easy to ambush a slightly small artillery weapon like the Type 91 anti-tank gun. No one thought that during the bombing, it would become more dangerous because of the damage.
"Since that's the case, it seems that it will be easier to judge the enemy's garrison by colliding directly into it and experimenting with it." The lieutenant glanced at Mo Dongshan and commanded: "The tank troops can attack head-on, and the infantry can follow up." ”
"Mo Dongshan, you take your people around, try the firepower of the opponent's flank, and if it is suppressed, retreat back. You get to the position and wait, and then we get to the fire! After the lieutenant deployed the frontal attack, he gave Mo Dongshan, who had just been in charge of reconnaissance, a good task. He didn't ask the opponent to attack, but to test the flank fire.
"Yes! I'm going to take people out! Wait until you meet the enemy head-on, and then start the temptation. Mo Dongshan stood up and saluted, then turned to leave. He returned to his platoon's only Iron Bull armored vehicle and began assigning combat missions to his men.
"Let's go! Rounding the small mound, we stealthily advanced into the field behind the mound, and when the frontal battle began, we would take a look from the side. While speaking, Mo Dongshan stepped on the track chain behind the armored car, climbed onto the armored car, and then turned into the carriage, slapped the carriage and shouted: "Let's go!" ”
So the engine started, Mo Dongshan's infantry platoon began to set off towards the expected position, and the Ming tanks in front also started, emitting fading black smoke and began to advance slowly. The infantry began to roll over and jump out of the trucks, followed behind the tanks, and rushed towards the town of Weiyuan in the distance.
When the Ming army bypassed the turn of the road and began to appear in front of the defeated Japanese army in Weiyuan, it immediately caused confusion among these enemies. It was thought that no Ming army would arrive here immediately after a fierce battle, so the Japanese troops who fled to Weiyuan did not even build basic fortifications.
"Soldiers of the Ming Dog! Soldiers of the Ming Dogs! "These Japanese called the Ming army Ming dog, with an insulting title. On the one hand, it is called because the other party hates the Ming army to the bone, and on the other hand, it is also because the vocabulary of the Japanese army to refer to the Ming army has not been unified and is relatively confusing.
The top brass of the Imperial Japanese Army called the army of the Ming Empire "Ming Army", while the average Japanese soldier called it "Ming Army" or "Ming Army", of course, there are also insulting words, called "Ming dog" or directly called "dog thief......
With a shout full of uneasiness, these Japanese soldiers fired their guns indiscriminately in the direction of the Ming army's advance, and more gave up resistance and fled directly into the town.
The tanks and armored vehicles of the Ming army, followed by the infantry, soon approached the ruins of Weiyuan Town, and then they saw that among the ruins, a Japanese soldier waved a white flag and cautiously walked towards the attacking Ming tank. He was very cautious with every step, as if he was afraid that the Ming army would smash his head with a single shot.
But when he walked in front of the Ming tank, the bullet that he imagined would kill him did not fly over and hit him. So the soldier raised the white flag above his head and slowly explained his intention: "Sir...... Your Excellency...... All the Japanese troops in the town are willing to surrender their weapons and surrender, can you accept our surrender? ”
"I can accept your surrender, but you must abide by the rules of the prisoners, get out of here and obey our arrangement!" Upon learning of the news that the Japanese wanted to surrender, the lieutenant officer of the Ming Empire came out of the crowd and met the poor Japanese soldier who had been sent out to surrender in a safe position behind the tank.
"Of course! Sir! We are willing to give up Weiyuan, and we are willing to hand over our weapons...... It's just that we have a lot of wounded, and the speed of movement may be slower. The poor Japanese soldier said to the lieutenant. His words caught the lieutenant's attention, so the lieutenant stared at the Japanese soldier and asked, "So, when can we Weiyuan?" ”
"Now! Sir...... You can do it now. The Japanese soldier replied. (To be continued.) )
