Chapter 193: There will be retribution
There are still many people who have been captured as hostages by the Kwantung Army, and even fewer can survive, these people may have been enslaved for too long, so that when they saw their army coming, they excitedly forgot that this was a war, and even if they were captured by the Kwantung Army, they did not have any fear at all.
After the death of one hostage after another, the people here seemed to be afraid, death gave them time to calm down and think carefully about all this, although there were people who pulled the Kwantung Army to die together, but it was only a few, only when they saw the hordes of soldiers who rushed through this line of defense, but they were unable to fight back because of their presence, and those soldiers who fell to the ground, they would exude deep pain in their hearts.
Some patriotic people may break free from the surveillance of the Eastern Army, and some will be forced to stand up and resist helplessly after seeing their relatives die. War is the last thing the people want to see, when they are in it, the first thing they think of is how to survive, instead of fighting with those invaders, they can't even fight those officers and soldiers, and where do they have the strength to fight with the Kwantung Army, which can't even fight the officials and soldiers?
People are selfish, everyone wants to survive, no one wants to die in this war-torn era, we have been enslaved for too long, so when we are invaded, we just curse the invaders in our hearts, do not support their aggressive activities, but few people will stand up to stop them, I was the same back then, when I saw the Chinese army rushing towards my area, my heart was so excited, I hope they can save me quickly, But when I saw a famous soldier because in order to protect my safety, and could not fight back, I could only rely on my own body to rush, I saw more than a dozen soldiers lying in a pool of blood, I had to admit that I was a very timid person, but at that moment, I thought of death, only if I died, they could destroy the invaders without any scruples, so I took advantage of the distraction of the Kwantung Army, jumped directly from the second floor, fortunately, my left leg was broken, and I did not die, I was quickly taken by the soldiers to the 99th Army Military Hospital in Jinxi, where I was well treated and quickly recovered, and it was there that I met my husband, a soldier who had only been in the army for a few months, but was shot through the throat during the Battle of Jinzhou, and I think I was much luckier than the soldiers who died for me.
This is an old lady wrote a note about the battle a day decades later, until she grew old, his children learned from the old man's notes why the old man had to go to the national defense cemetery in the west of Jinzhou every year to sweep the grave, and in the second year of the old man's death, the Ministry of National Defense released some archival information about the Jinzhou Campaign, including the names of the soldiers who participated in the battle, the troops they belonged to, the time and place of death and the age of the death, and other information, and the old man's children took over the old man's responsibilities from then on. Every year, they would go to the Wehrmacht cemetery to pay their respects, especially after they found that the time and place in the old man's notes coincided with the information released by the Ministry of Defense, and the thirteen soldiers who died there were their key grave sweepers.
'Da! Da! Da! ’
The machine guns of the Kwantung Army, as before, did not mean to stop at all, and bullets mercilessly hit the stone bricks, the dirt, and the bodies of the soldiers, and one by one the soldiers fell in pools of blood because of their lack of experience in street fighting.
Wu Gouzi was sweating profusely in the regiment headquarters, and twenty minutes had passed since the half-hour stipulated by the brigade seat, and at this time they had not completely cleared one of the more than ten streets in the mission. The hostages have become the biggest stumbling block to their advance, with these hostages, they have never been able to pass through here quickly, and if they want to take this place, in addition to the extremely rich combat experience, they also need to have full luck, because once they shoot back, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army will hurt the hostages, so as to achieve the goal of making the 99th Army dare not continue to fight back.
One or two hostages are protecting the safety of a few, or more than a dozen Kwantung Army soldiers, and it is these two hostages that threaten the lives of more soldiers of the 766th Division. Wu Gouzi was completely stunned, and in this case, he seemed to have no idea how to do it, and what kind of way to use to take down the street without harming the safety of the hostages.
"Command, the front line is coming!" A communications staff officer handed the telegram that had just been sent back from the front to Su Dao's hands, and it can be said that the 99th Army had encountered the greatest difficulty since its establishment, and the slightest carelessness would lead to shattering its bones.
Su Dao took the telegram and frowned tightly, he had expected this situation for a long time, but he didn't expect that the Kwantung Army would use this method so vividly, blocking everywhere, threatening the safety of the 766th Division with hostages everywhere, in the face of this situation, if he wants to take Jinzhou quickly, he can only ignore the safety of those hostages, but Su Dao knows that he can't do that, but in this way, the casualties on his side will definitely get bigger and bigger, and it is not acceptable to him.
Thinking about the people who died unexpectedly, and then thinking about the soldiers who shouldn't have died in the first place, Su Dao felt quite helpless, the full strength in his hands was still small before, and he couldn't see any big battles, plus he fought if it was advantageous, and ran away if it was not profitable, so the ninety-ninth army had not encountered any setbacks until now, and it was only now that Su Dao knew that he originally thought that he had attached great importance to the little devil, but he was still a little careless.
Su Dao slowly walked out of the military headquarters, in the face of this situation, he no longer knew what to do, he was just a thief, he happened to get these atlases, so that he could rise rapidly in this era, but what about after the rise? Where do you go from here?
"Something?" Seeing Su Dao walking out of the military headquarters with a worried face, Lu Guo, who was sitting at the entrance of the military department boredly smoking and playing, threw away the cigarette handle in his hand, stepped forward and said with concern.
Su Dao handed the telegram in his hand to Lu Guo, he now has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but Su Dao felt that he was so lonely for the first time, and he couldn't tell his subordinates about some thoughts in his heart, not even a confidant. Maybe many people will think that Su Dao is living a very chic life, many people will envy his status and glory, and even think that Su Dao's disdainful attitude towards many things can make them feel excited.
But there is no one who can let Su Dao pour out his inner world, maybe this is the tragedy of the traverser, everything needs to stay in his heart, there is no one of his own people around him, it is for this reason that Lu Guo walked into Su Dao's heart and regarded him as his real buddy, but Rao is so, and some things still can't be told to him.
"If you do too many bad things, you will be punished." Lu Guo glanced at the telegram with wide eyes, and muttered casually in his mouth, and it could be seen that he had no interest in these things at all.
"But it's going to cost us dearly, and how long has it been since we've been fighting? The troops suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and if they wait for the entire Jinzhou to be defeated, it is estimated that the casualties will be at least 10,000, right? We have too few troops now to fight! Su Dao said earnestly, at this moment he didn't seem to be a twenty-four-year-old young man, but a sixty or seventy-year-old man, an old man who had seen through the vicissitudes of old age.
"It's not impossible, but are you sure you want to do it?" Lu Guo frowned, he had not been idle since the war began, he had already thought of all kinds of plans, and had been prepared for this kind of thing for a long time, but deep down he didn't want to use this method to win.
It's okay once or twice, but if you use too much, this trick won't work, and the troops will still be novices when they encounter street battles in the future, and what kind of troops are the troops that can only fight field battles? At best, it was a second-rate army, and Su Dao's purpose was to build a force that could adapt to combat in various environments.
"You go and prepare first, when all the troops enter the city, they all have to fight with the Kwantung Army, and after you get used to the street fighting, you are at the beginning, and you finally met once, and it would be a waste of this opportunity not to let them practice." Su Dao understood what Lu Guo meant, and after thinking about it, he commanded.
The troops will never be able to grow without a few big battles and vicious battles, but they need to digest this kind of war slowly, at least let them be familiar with this way of fighting before they can adopt other methods. Although the strategic goal has been achieved, the purpose of military training has not yet been achieved.
Anyway, there will be many opportunities for street fighting in the future, so let them experience it this time, sum up the experience of street fighting, and then prepare for the next street battle, although the 99th Army is strong, it is still far from sufficient in some aspects, especially the difficult battle of urban street fighting.
"Okay, the day should be almost the end of the day, we will start the operation tomorrow afternoon, and then you can inform the troops to get ready." After answering, Lu Guo sighed secretly in his heart that Su Dao was still too soft-hearted, and then turned around directly and went to prepare. These special forces have been practicing all the time, and it's time to pull them out for a walk, otherwise they will really train these boys to be stupid.
Looking at the back of Lu Guo's departure, Su Dao sighed secretly, if he hadn't formed a special force at the beginning, and hadn't given Lu Guo a special explanation of what they should do, it is estimated that it would not be so simple for him to outwit this battle, and then Su Dao looked at the direction of the front line, silently praying for those soldiers, hoping that they could survive and live until tomorrow afternoon, and then as long as Lu Guo succeeded, they could directly take over Jinzhou.
