Sugiyama Moto's anger couldn't help but rush to his heart again, and he couldn't help coughing violently. His face turned red, and it took a while to regain his strength, and he said angrily: "Nani, just give up this encirclement and suppression?" ”

Kawabe Shozo understands Sugiyama Moto's unwillingness, this encirclement and suppression can be said to be an encirclement and suppression by the North China Front Army with all its might, if it fails, then the next encirclement and suppression does not know when it will be.

Perhaps by then, Sugiyama Mototo would have stepped down from his post as commander of the North China Front.

Therefore, he wants to accomplish something that his predecessor failed to accomplish during his tenure, so as to lay a good foundation for his future career.

However, the current situation made Kawabe Shozo, as the chief of the general staff of the front army, clearly understand that it was necessary to stop in moderation, as the logistics and materials of the eastern and western armies were completely destroyed.

The offensive of all the troops on the front line will become unsustainable, and if the offensive continues by force, once the ammunition is out of stock, then the entire encirclement army may be defeated by the counterattack of the dragon's tooth column at any time.

At that point, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, he patiently tried his best to persuade him: "Your Excellency General, please calm down, we have to focus on the overall situation, now the reserves of ammunition and other military materials of the coalition forces on both fronts have been exhausted, and if you continue to do it forcibly, it will only end in a fiasco, and the gains will outweigh the losses when the time comes, please think twice!" ”

In addition to Kawabe Shozo, the other two senior Japanese adjutants also tried their best to persuade him, and in the end, Sugiyama Mototo obeyed his subordinates and agreed to Kawabe Shozo's plan.

The main reason is that he understands that if he forcibly orders the encirclement and suppression troops to continue the offensive, once they lose and the situation deteriorates, then he will definitely be blamed by the base camp, and if he is not good, he will be deposed and transferred to the reserve.

So I still choose to do what Hebian Zhengsan said, at most, it will be no achievements and return in vain.

Since taking office, several encounters with the Dragon's Tooth Column have ended in failure, and as he gets older, Sugiyama is already physically and mentally exhausted, and he only plans to survive until the base camp is replaced, so he will find a good errand and return to Japan to retire.

As for the lofty ideals and goals of encircling and suppressing the Dragon's Tooth Column, conquering China, and establishing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, I left it to those young people.

…………

At the same time that the Japanese North China Front began to deploy the retreat plan, in Shimen City, Qiao Youhua and Guo Meng also gathered all the more than 7,000 puppet army prisoners under their command.

This group of captives also joined Zhou Zhibing, who rebelled and surrendered to Cheng in Anping County, and the number of four or five hundred people has reached 8,000.

Nearly 8,000 puppet army prisoners were captured on the widest street in Shimen City, and the assembly was completed, and in order to prevent accidents, the officers and men of the guard battalion, cavalry battalion and artillery battalion set up sentry posts all over the city, and the soldiers were fully armed, loaded with guns and ammunition, and were ready for battle.

Qiao Youhua, accompanied by Guo Meng, Ma Biao, Wu Ming and others, came to a point platform at the front of the crowd.

In order to facilitate the use of prisoners to give lectures.

Around the wooden platform, Zheng Yunshan, the commander of the guard battalion, personally led hundreds of burly and well-equipped guards to escort the left and right, isolating the wooden platform from a group of puppet army prisoners.

Ascending the wooden platform and looking at it, the black pressure was overwhelming, and it was full of crowds, Qiao Youhua picked up the simple shouting horn that Guo Meng had prepared.

Clearing his throat, Qiao Youhua secretly lucked his anger and said loudly: "Brothers of the puppet army in the audience! Qiao Youhua, commander of the contemptible Dragon Tooth Column, today I have gathered you together to give you a chance to be a new person. ”

After Qiao Youhua's voice was blessed by the loudspeaker, it resounded, and basically more than 7,000 puppet soldiers could hear it.

There are many people in the puppet army in the audience who have never seen Qiao Youhua, so when they heard Qiao Youhua's words, they couldn't help but stir, and many people began to turn their heads and ears, curious about what Qiao Youhua was going to say next.

Qiao Youhua also paused deliberately, wanting to see the reaction of the puppet soldiers in the audience, whetting their appetite and giving them enough time to digest what they had just said, Qiao Youhua continued to say aloud: "Since ancient times, traitors and lackeys and traitors have been punished!"

Once a person forgets his ancestors, he will be pointed out by thousands of people, and his ancestors will be poked in the backbone and scolded eight times as much.

I think the big guy should have had a lot of personal feelings after putting on the military uniform of the puppet army, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, most of the puppet soldiers lowered their heads in shame, who the hell hasn't been scolded by the neighbors and villagers? Poke the backbone and scold the ancestors for eight generations?

Being a puppet army is not a matter of common prosperity, and these words naturally poke at their sore spots.

Qiao Youhua's voice changed, and he said: "However, I also know that most of you are desperate, so you have the idea of eating with a mouthful, and you wear yellow skins and puppet soldiers, and you don't really want to be traitors." ”

As soon as Qiao Youhua's words came out, they immediately resonated with all the puppet soldiers, and they were so moved by Qiao Youhua's empathy that they almost couldn't give Qiao Youhua a kowtow, shouting that Commander Qiao was wise!

When the puppet soldiers calmed down a little, Qiao Youhua said loudly: "I just said that I want to give you a chance to be a new person, which is definitely not an empty word.

Now, there is a chance for you to eat and drink enough, as well as military salaries, and pension in death! As long as you catch it, you don't have to be a puppet army for the little devil to eat, and be the traitor and traitor who has been stinking for thousands of years!

The most important thing is that as long as you are willing, you can transform from a puppet traitor to a national hero admired by all people! Even if you unfortunately die one day, your name will always be admired and remembered by my Chinese descendants! Truly immortal! ”

"Commander Qiao, what kind of opportunity is it, you can tell it quickly!" The audience roared loudly, and at first glance, it was Zhou Zhibing's big bald head.

His words resonated with many puppet soldiers, and a group of puppet officers and soldiers were bold and echoed loudly.

"I have just said this opportunity, if you have a military salary, you will naturally join our dragon tooth column, follow me Qiao Youhua to kill devils, eliminate traitors, and protect the family and defend the country! Sue me, would you like to? Qiao Youhua's last sentence used enough strength, and his voice was extremely loud, resounding in all directions, and echoing for a long time.

can be fed, warmly dressed, food and clothing without worry, as well as military salaries, and pensions for death, and can also be transformed into a national hero admired by thousands of people.

No matter how you count it, it is much better than them wearing yellow skins, being traitors, and being scolded, and they have no reason to refuse!

As a result, thousands of puppet soldiers shouted in unison: "We are willing to join the Dragon Tooth Column!" Join the Eighth Route Army! Kill the devil! Except for traitors! ”
