In fact, when the puppet army surrendered to the New Fourth Army, they did not lose much troops, but as soon as they came into contact with the New Fourth Army, they were defeated and fled, and then they were beaten back by the Japanese army, and they chose to surrender in a desperate situation. According to the personnel of the New Fourth Army after the fact, they actually captured more than 40,000 puppet soldiers who had no resistance in one go. This group of puppet troops is loyal to the Wang puppet regime, and at the same time, they are also the puppet army that enjoys the most resources, and even many puppet army units have similar equipment levels as the Japanese army, so these puppet troops were captured, and the New Fourth Army captured all kinds of light and heavy weapons, not to mention more than 30,000 rifles alone.

The Japanese army was almost angry when they saw this situation, but in the face of the imposing New Fourth Army, they did not dare to attack rashly, so they could only watch the puppet army that had become like a good child being taken over by the New Fourth Army.

How to deal with this batch of puppet troops also gave the New Fourth Army headquarters a difficult problem, but fortunately, everyone has an established model. These puppet soldiers will be sent to the established prisoner of war camps for labor reform and ideological transformation, among which those who are good, who can deeply realize their ugly acts of defecting to the enemy and betraying the country, and are willing to take the initiative to repent, can also be reused and reintegrated into the army. And those who are not conducive to reform are basically equal to slave labor.

It is very unrealistic to directly turn them into their own fighting force, and it is estimated that it will cause more trouble than good.

Because of the surrender of more than 40,000 puppet troops, the New Fourth Army's attack on the second line of defense had to stop. The Japanese army also took this opportunity to take a breath, but Shunroku Hata was very unhappy, he still needed to perform the errand assigned by Ashiya Michimitsu, killing more than 200,000 people, and now he has completed a fraction of this standard at most, and most of the dead are their Imperial Japanese Army, which makes him embarrassed.

"The blood of the Imperial Warriors must not be shed in vain, nor can the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire be allowed to shed their own blood!" Shunroku Hata said gloomily as he called his attendant.

"How are the 15th, 17th and 22nd Divisions ready?"

"Commander, the three divisions are ready."

Shunroku Hata snorted, his breathing became a little heavier at this time, this was not an easy decision to make after all, and he also knew that after this decision was made, both he and the Japanese army would face extremely heavy retaliation.

"No matter, even if I don't do this, the enemy's Wheel King will kill the Imperial Warriors like livestock." Shunroku Hata secretly thought about it, and firmly established his mind.

"Pass my orders, the 15th, 17th, and 22nd divisions carry out the 'Gale' plan!"

"Hey!" The attendant officer was also surprised, but he could not comment on the decision of the Japanese commander.

The Gale Plan was a battle plan drafted by Shunroku Hata on an improvised basis. Or, rather than a battle plan, it is a plan of slaughter. The purpose of the massacre was not to vent anger or deter the enemy, but simply to make up enough blood sacrifices for Ashiya Michimitsu. And no one knows that the so-called life soul blood sacrifice of 660,000 living beings is just a number that a bald guy who is now squatting in the other world finds it funny and casually says.

The Japanese army once carried out a brutal and bloody and dark killing in this city more than three years ago, this massacre because of the sluggishness of the news and the Japanese army's intention to protect, even at the beginning of the War of Resistance was not widely spread, even the Chinese of this era have seen more cruel and bloody things, the city of Nanjing has also experienced many massacres, there were two changes of hands in Nanjing during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, and they were slaughtered once by the long-haired ghost and Zeng Guofan; Recently, during the Xinhai Revolution, Zhang Xun, a stubborn "pigtailed handsome" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, arrested the whole city after the failure of the revolutionary party uprising, and carried out a massacre.

As a result, people's ability to accept this kind of tragedy is unexpectedly strong. Because of the unfair, terrible and bloody things, in this declining country, it is played out every day.

Now, when Shunroku Hata decides to raise the butcher's knife again, the city is once again facing its own ill-fated and sad fate. At the time of the Nanjing Massacre, 300,000 people were slaughtered in the city, plus the soldiers killed here and various other deaths, as well as the Japanese army injuries in the peripheral battles of Nanjing during these days, there were about 500,000 more. Of course, the Japanese army will continue to be killed, so to be on the safe side, in the Gale plan, Shunroku Hata needs to slaughter at least 100,000 more innocent people.

Without warning, the citizens of Nanjing, who had been worried and had even been obedient to the people for many years, plus the people in the surrounding villages, were caught from their homes by Japanese devils in their sleep. In order to avoid the fierce resistance of the Chinese people, and in order to increase the efficiency of work, the Japanese lied that there were spies of the New Fourth Army in Nanjing, and they wanted to gather everyone together for investigation.

But even so, it still frightened the people of Nanjing. The tragic incident more than three years ago is vividly remembered, the Japanese army gathered everyone together and said that it was to investigate the spies, no one would believe it, and their purpose could only be one, that is, the massacre.

The Nanjingers who heard the news began to flee in all directions, but they lacked courage, and they had been good citizens for too long, and when facing the Japanese, their resistance was extremely weak. Just like back then, knowing that the Japanese were taking them to be buried alive and shooting targets, the people who lacked the heart and courage still let the Japanese slaughter themselves. So much so that before the massacre, the Japanese soldiers were even afraid, after all, so many people could cause harm to the Japanese even if they used their teeth and fists and feet. But when their killing was met with no resistance, even more obedient than killing ordinary livestock, the Japanese began to enjoy the slaughter, and spit and insulted the Chinese who would not resist.

Nanjing was in chaos, Wang's puppet government had retreated to Shanghai before the New Fourth Army attacked the city, the Japanese were wantonly arresting any Chinese residents they could see, and the people here also tried their best to hide and escape, the city was already in chaos, more and more houses were set on fire, and the cries of women and children were continuous. When the Japanese devils found it difficult for them to concentrate the inhabitants and carry out a unified massacre operation, the Japanese officers ordered them to kill the Chinese inhabitants on the spot with bayonets and machine guns.

The chaos in Nanjing quickly alarmed Qi Yuan, who did not pay special attention to the situation in Nanjing at first, but when he saw a flash of fire on the spy satellite, Qi Yuan immediately reacted that something should have happened in Nanjing. He quickly boarded the Wheel King and headed to Nanjing, where he saw a scene that made his eyes split.

"You all deserve to die!"
