Chapter 283: The Capture of Nanjing
After a long time, Matsui Shigen seemed to have aged a lot, and in this game, he knew that if he lost Wei Chendong, not only the other officers and soldiers, but even he, the commander, did not escape the fate of being threatened.
"Order the soldiers to let go of those civilians, the imperial soldiers can't surrender just now, and let go of the battle with the Yanhuang Army."
Matsui Shigen's order quickly spread to the front line, and the soldiers of the army released the civilians of Nanjing with an indifferent face, but the safety of their families was still not guaranteed, and many soldiers really didn't have the heart to fight anymore, even if they ventured to the Yan and Huang army to confirm it, and hoped to know that everything was fine, even if it was to atone for their sins with their own lives.
On September 12, a new round of attack by the Yan and Huang armies began, first of all, hundreds of planes bombarded in turn, followed by more than 100 carpet shelling of various types of artillery, and the Yan and Huang troops suffered heavy casualties.
Wei Chendong personally led the army into the city, but Matsui Shigen still did not admit defeat and prepared to fight with the Yan and Huang army in the streets. Wei Chendong was not in a hurry to engage in street battles with the Yue army, after all, there were still many civilians in the city, and under the assault, it would inevitably cause a lot of accidental injuries, and the casualties of the Yan and Huang troops would be much greater.
In the early morning of September 13, the loudspeakers of the Yan and Huang Army rang again, and the words shouted in the Chinese language were also transmitted to the camp of the Yue army not far away.
"Soldiers, please look at the Zhonghua Gate, Guanghua Gate and other city walls, are you familiar with these faces? Are you familiar with this outfit? Yes, you guessed it right, they are all from your hometown, and they all have strong men in their families who participated in the invasion of China. Put down your weapons, put your hands up, and walk slowly, we guarantee your safety......"
Hearing these shouts, one by one the soldiers of the Yue army immediately stretched out their heads and looked at them, and some of them got a telescope from somewhere, and kept looking for them in the crowd of people on the city wall here. The morale of the army camp was low.
"Haruko, Haruko......" Suddenly, a soldier stood up angrily, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd, a figure that he had been thinking about for a long time, he had now forgotten that this was the battlefield, quickly threw down his gun, ran out of the position, and rushed towards the side of the Yan and Huang Army, he felt that he was about to see the girl he loved, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face. Suddenly, with a "bang", his body rushed forward violently, fell to the ground, and looked back incredibly, only to see that the muzzle of a black hole was still aiming at him, he smiled sadly, turned his head, and saw the figure on the head of the city, his eyes looked at each other, and it was extremely poignant.
"Sato-kun", the woman on the city wall roared and was about to rush down, but was stopped by the soldiers of the Yiyan Yellow Army. Sato hadn't died on the spot, he kept crawling on the ground with the last of his strength, his hand stretched forward, how much he hoped to catch the hand of his beloved girl again, but he couldn't do it and died on the way forward.
Next, from time to time, soldiers rushed out of the position, and the members of the military supervision team also fired one shot after another, and one by one their comrades fell on the way to find their relatives, only a few hundred meters away, how far away it was for them at this time.
"Haha...... Is the Empire that cruel? So isn't it moral? Is His Majesty the Emperor so ruthless? What is the purpose of our war, what Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Zone, what Greater East Asia Holy War, and now we can't even protect our own families, what is the point of all this? A Shao Zuo smiled miserably, turned his head, and shouted to his subordinates: "The soldiers of the empire, there is only one way to die in the war, and you will never see your relatives, now, those who are willing to go to the opposite side to find their relatives will go with me."
After speaking, he didn't wait for the other soldiers to answer, ignoring the black muzzle of the warlord's gun, and walked towards the opposite side step by step.
"Let's go......" With a roar, his subordinates first moved with him, and then, the other troops were also deeply affected, put down their weapons, raised their hands, and began to march towards the Yan and Huang army.
The soldiers of the Overseer team killed a group of people and failed to stop this behavior, and they did not dare to kill again, so they reacted to the situation upwards.
"It's over, the confidence of the imperial soldiers has been completely lost, the Yan and Huang Army, won", Matsui Shigen's expression was full of loneliness.
After a while, he seemed to be ten years old, and said weakly: "Order all the soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender."
After giving this order, Matsui Shigen didn't know where his future path would be, the empire let himself lead his troops to the enemy, but he didn't do it, the soldiers had no intention of fighting, and there was no way to talk about the hero, and the confidence was completely defeated by the Yan and Huang Army, if they followed the orders of the base camp, even if the troops did not mutiny, I am afraid that they would only usher in the slaughter of the Yan and Huang Army.
Matsui Shigen wanted to cut himself, but the Yan and Huang troops stated in the letter that if they couldn't see Matsui himself, I am afraid that the entire Matsui family would have to go to the Yasukuni Shrine to meet him.
With a heavy sigh, Matsui Shigen grabbed the command knife that had followed him for many years, and stroked it slowly, full of reluctance, and after today, it no longer belonged to him.
Carrying a knife out of the headquarters, Matsui Ishine ordered all troops to lay down their weapons and wait for the Yan and Huang troops to surrender.
On the position of the Yanhuang Army not far away, the soldiers saw a white flag rising from the camp of the army, and then, one by one, the army marched out of the position with their weapons held high.
"Oh...... Success, success, the devil surrendered......" Seeing this scene, the soldiers all cheered, and it was the best policy to surrender the soldiers without a fight, so that they and their compatriots could reduce a lot of casualties.
Receiving the news that the Yue army was ready to accept surrender, Wei Chendong also smiled happily, and immediately ordered the troops to march into Nanjing City, collect and surrender all the Yue troops, and punish those who did not surrender with less data.
After receiving the order, nearly 100,000 Yan and Huang troops entered the city, one to collect and surrender the army, and the other to maintain order in the city.
In the afternoon of the next day, Wei Chendong stood on a heavy tank of the Dragon King type, and entered the city of Nanjing with the army through the Zhonghua Gate.
The neat sound of the military boots was also transmitted far away, and the citizens of Nanjing, who had been waiting here for a long time, did not say a word, and their hearts were full of anticipation.
People raised their eyes and looked into the distance, and finally saw the soldiers marching in two rows at the front, wearing green military uniforms, holding Yanhuang army-standard steel guns, and solemn faces.
"Oh...... The Yan and Huang army entered the city...... "The people cheered loudly, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth, so that all the joy in their hearts burst out.
"I've entered the city, I've entered the city, I've finally entered the city......" An old man was in tears, muttering to himself, holding a small Yanhuang Army flag in his hand, waving it constantly.
"Our army has fought back, fought back, said that there is hope, finally there is hope......" The people who had been worried all day finally put their hearts at ease.
"Dad, mother, you have all seen it, our army has entered the city, entered the city, the devils have surrendered, your revenge has been avenged", a minor child shouted to the sky, tears flowing.
