(PS: Today's fifth update!) Ask for a monthly pass to support it! Tens of thousands of updates every day, mosquitoes are really hard! Please give me some motivation to support! )
On the battlefield, the winner is king! Losers often have no right to speak!
Since the remnants of the 12th Division finally chose to lay down their arms and stop resisting, they hoped to get prisoner of war treatment. Then the Eighth Route Army did not need to be too polite, and put forward the condition of disarming them first and then negotiating with them.
Of course, in Wang Tianlin's mouth, this became the sincerity of the Japanese army's surrender. As for how to deal with these little devils after the weapons are confiscated, it is not up to the Eighth Route Army to have the final say.
In the face of Wang Tianlin's insistence, Nakamura Muichi, who came to negotiate on behalf of the 12th Division, also couldn't find too many reasons to refuse. Since they chose to surrender, it is natural to prove their sincerity.
For the sake of the safety of the officers and men who entered the enemy's store to seize weapons, Wang Tianlin's request was naturally reasonable. And Wang Tianlin's 'reasonable' request was quickly spread to the people who saw Xiusan.
Hearing this, the person saw Xiusan and said with a little surprise: "Isn't the person in charge of the negotiation the supreme commander of the Eighth Route Army?" ”
'Yes, General! Listening to those of the Eighth Route Army, the supreme commander of the Eighth Route Army who fought against us this time was none other than He Zhengdao, the commander of the Independent Column of the Eighth Route Army. However, he did not participate in the previous negotiations.
According to their introduction, the person in charge of the negotiations was the chief of staff of the independent column, a general surnamed Wang. Their uniforms all look similar, and it's hard to tell who they really are. However, it seems that the identity of the other party should be true! ’
The adjutant who came back to report on the negotiations quickly and truthfully reported the course of the previous negotiations. The people who heard this also knew that the military uniforms worn by the Eighth Route Army looked very uniform, but it was also difficult to distinguish.
After leaving the customs this time, people saw Xiusan knowing that those who wore the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army were the regular soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. As for the guerrillas, most of them wore only the clothes of the common people. Such a military uniform is somewhat nondescript.
At least compared with the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army, many of them can establish the ranks and positions of these people by virtue of the military rank of the military uniform collar. In the face of the Eighth Route Army, you may only be able to judge by age what the identity of the other party is.
It is this somewhat awkward military uniform that makes many Japanese officers like to call the Eighth Route Army 'Tu Eighth Road'. The color of the military uniform of the Eighth Route Army is indeed a relatively common earthy yellow* color. Standing with a bunch of people standing together, it's really hard to tell who is an officer and who is a soldier.
Since you have chosen to surrender, don't want to save any more face. In fact, at the moment when the decision to surrender was made, Shuzo had already realized that he had no qualifications to make any more demands on the Eighth Route Army.
The person who thought of this saw Xiusan and nodded with a sigh: "Okay! Ordered the troops on our positions to begin to surrender to the Eighth Route Army in formation. However, it is hoped that the Eighth Route Army will be able to ensure the safety of our warriors.
As for the situation at the medical center, let's wait for the Eighth Route Army to come in and let them send someone to transfer the wounded! I hope that the Eighth Route Army can be as merciful as the people of China and treat our wounded warriors kindly! ”
If He Zhengdao heard these words, he would probably spit out this old devil's face. Now that I know that the people of China are kind, why don't these little devils know how to treat the people of China well when they treated the people of China before?
With the order of Xiusan, the little devil lying in the last trench quickly walked out of the trench under the leadership of some lieutenants, laid down his arms and surrendered in the area where the Eighth Route Army had set up a cordon.
The surrendered troops, led by Li Xiangdong, entered the core camp of Kongjiagou and received the materials left by the little devils. As for some confidential documents and materials, people saw that Xiusan also had them burned in advance.
When Li Xiangdong led the reconnaissance group into the medical center full of wounded soldiers, he also felt a little big when he looked at the little devil doctors and nurses who seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as well as the little devil wounded who had miserable faces but longed to live.
'Brigade commander, I said how could these little devils choose to surrender, it turns out that there are so many wounded soldiers. If so many wounded people want us to help treat them, how much medicine will we waste? ’
The head of the team couldn't help but say these words when he saw this scene. Since they have accepted the surrender of the little devils, the wounded of these little devils, they are naturally not like before, and they can directly save trouble with a bullet to solve the wounded soldiers.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiangdong, who was also a little unhappy, could only say: "Report this situation to the commander." In addition, a group of stretchers was collected from the rear, and some prisoners of the little devils were found and asked to come and carry these wounded. ”
'Yes, Brigadier! ’
He Zhengdao, who was paying attention to the surrender matter, also frowned a little after listening to the report of the reconnaissance group: "Damn, I just said that the little devil has such a good heart to surrender to us!" Dare to love, they are now full of wounded soldiers and want us to save our lives. ”
Listening to He Zhengdao's complaints, Wang Tianlin also smiled bitterly: "Commander, it seems that we have taken over a mess. Nearly 2,000 lightly and seriously wounded little devils, plus the wounded of our column, how much medicine do you have to prepare! ”
Go and tell the little devil's chief of staff that it is all right for us to receive the wounded, but they must bring their own medicines. Our Eighth Route Army is poor, and the medicines we have in reserve are not enough to save us. That extra medicine to save them! ’
'Alright! I'll tell him! ’
When Nakamura Muichi heard Wang Tianlin's words, he said the same: "Please rest assured, General Wang, in the morning, we have already requested a batch of medicines from the North China Front. These medicines should be enough to treat our wounded.
We will also hand over all the medicines to you. I just hope that General Wang will take a little more care to help our wounded soldiers. In matters of treatment, the medical staff of our division will be in charge. ”
Hearing this, Wang Tianlin was in a bad mood and said, "You are already prepared!" ”
At this time, He Zhengdao, who served as a translator, said: "Chief of Staff Nakamura, it is a long process to treat the wounded. Even if you have prepared medicines, you should know that you have too many wounded.
Our Eighth Route Army is poor, and medicine is even more scarce. We have also paid a lot of money for your aggression this time, and there are also many wounded who need to wait for treatment. What do you think we should do about this situation? ”
In the face of He Zhengdao's rhetorical question, Nakamura Muichi also knew that it was indeed a time-consuming and laborious matter to treat so many wounded soldiers, including many seriously wounded. The most important thing is that during the treatment, manpower and material resources must be supported by the Eighth Route Army.
Most of the injured need to be nourished. In this case, if the Eighth Route Army provides nutrition for the wounded of these little devils. How would the wounded officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route feel?
Although admitting that he had cheated the Eighth Route Army, Nakamura Muichi felt a little unbearable. said directly: "General Wang, are your subordinates too presumptuous?" This kind of thing, can he, a translator, express his opinion casually? ”
He Zhengdao, who heard this, sneered: "Our Eighth Route Army pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, and as a staff officer accompanying the chief of staff, I naturally have the right to put forward my opinions. You want us to help your wounded for free, you can't help but think too well, right? ”
And at this time, Wang Tianlin, who heard Nakamura Muichi's words, also said seriously: "Not bad! He can also speak for me on matters involving negotiations. You really need to give us a reason to accept! ”
Seeing that Wang Tianlin wanted to give a reason for himself, Nakamura Muichi also felt a little helpless. If the Eighth Route Army is not given a suitable reason, these wounded soldiers will fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army in the future, and it will not be up to the Eighth Route Army to decide what to do.
It is also normal to treat a few people at two ends in three days. After all, the mortality rate of the wounded is still quite high in this year. It seems that they want to calculate the Eighth Route Army, but it is still a bit difficult to do!
After asking people to bring people to Shuzo, Nakamura Muichi made an introduction. The commander of the brigade of the major general looked at Wang Tianlin and He Zhengdao, and what he said suddenly made Nakamura Muichi startled.
'General Ho, what kind of reason do you need?' We also have some understanding of some of the policies of your Eighth Route Army. In the face of us who have laid down their arms and surrendered, can you really ignore it? ’
Seeing Xiusan talking to himself and revealing his identity, He Zhengdao really felt a little surprised. Even Nakamura Muichi thinks that when people see Xiusan, is it the wrong person? Isn't this Wang Tianlin's translator?
What's more, the young Eighth Route Army in front of him looks younger than many soldiers in this army. Is such a young man really the supreme commander of this powerful force in front of him?
Seeing that the other party had recognized his identity, He Zhengdao didn't feel a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It seems that you should have read the information about me, and you are now the supreme commander of the 12th Division, so I can also give you some answers."
Since the day you launched the war of aggression against China, you should know better than us what happened to the Chinese prisoners of war who were captured by you. You have been cruel to our prisoners of war, and now I am merciful to you.
What qualifications do you think you have to ask for such unequal special treatment? Again, if you want us to do our best to save your wounded, you have to give us a reason to help.
Don't use our preferential treatment of prisoners as a threat, you should know that you are now surrendering to our independent column. If I deal with you, it's up to me to decide. You should also be aware of the cost of rescuing a wounded soldier! ”
Seeing He Zhengdao say these words without being humble or arrogant, people can feel that Xiusan can feel that He Zhengdao is not a general who is easy to talk to. As the strongest general of the Eighth Route Army, he does have the capital to say this.
Most importantly, the Eighth Route Army did not give special treatment to Japanese prisoners as it did in history. The Eighth Route Army's preferential treatment of prisoners was actually more of a policy during the earlier Red Army period.
For the little devils who are invaders, many generals of the Eighth Route Army also agree with He Zhengdao's suggestion, and only give preferential treatment to the little devils who sincerely surrender. How to judge this so-called 'sincerity', it is naturally up to the Eighth Route Army to decide! (To be continued.) )
