014 Prisoners of War

The 17 members who participated in the operation observation with the team were all front-line troops from their respective armies, and they clearly knew what was fancy and what was practical on the battlefield.

So it's obviously unceremonious to ask questions, and when you don't understand something, you immediately ask.

Zhu Jingxing told the foreign military observation group that their combat unit was a combat group of about 10 people, and an action formation subdivided into a three-three system. To put it simply, each combat group is equipped with light machine guns for fire support, snipers for long-range strikes, and ordinary assaulters and rocket launchers.

In addition, there is close operational coordination between the different groups, and when multiple teams operate, several combat teams can be assigned to a single combat team under the command of a single commander.

The instructors of the observation group were very interested in this, and Lieutenant Colonel Clark of the British Army checked it and found that this was indeed the case.

Although these team members are no different from ordinary officers and soldiers, a careful observation will show that these team members are also in accordance with this formation, whether they are resting or marching.

In addition to these, the foreign military observation group also found that most of these people carried two or more weapons, and in addition to their respective weapons, bazooka and snipers also wore a very light *.

Zhu Jingxing told them that this was specially assigned for the purpose of coordinating the deployment of firepower, and other troops did not have such good treatment.

Ivanovich of the Soviet Army was also interested in the training uniform he was wearing, saying: "I see that every soldier has an extra vest with a lot of pockets, and this looks pretty good." Because not only can you hold * magazines, first aid kits and other things, but you can also carry simple communication equipment on your body. Your uniforms are a little different, with colorful dyes and the sniper's clothes, which are just a bunch of weeds, but I think the camouflage must be pretty good! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Clark of the British Army took over and said: "This is a camouflage uniform and a gilly uniform, which has appeared in World War I. However, this is really the first time I have seen such a large-scale application. ”

Ivanovic continued: "It's obviously very different from a normal training uniform. I noticed that there were several similar military uniforms in their dormitory closet. ”

Zhu Jingxing nodded and said with a smile: "We will choose different camouflage costumes according to different battlefield environments, and the effective amount of concealment can greatly improve the chances of survival on the battlefield." ”

All of them are middle-level professional soldiers who have been on the battlefield, and although their skin colors and uniforms are different, they do have endless common topics to talk about. Starting from the last time when Burma captured Shozo Riverbe alive, he analyzed some reference details of the operation and talked about some knowledge of the war against Japan.

Colonel Hammer asked, "Zhu, you participated in the entire Burma campaign, can you talk about your views on the Japanese soldiers?" ”

Zhu Jingxing thought for a while and said: "The spirit of courage is commendable, but the resourcefulness is lacking. ”

"This is a very novel statement, and there is no need to say much about the bravery of the Japanese, but why do you say that they lack resourcefulness?" Hammer also showed great interest.

Zhu Jingxing also said politely and directly: "I don't have a good evaluation of other Japanese officers and soldiers, but I have been in contact with a lot of Japanese soldiers on the battlefield in Burma. We have to admit that the Japanese officers and men have a high fighting quality, can endure hardships, have good marksmanship, and are quick to mobilize. However, they were a bit rigid and pedantic in their actions, and if ordinary tactics were prescribed in this way, then the Japanese soldiers would follow the rules. I admit that for the officers and men at the grassroots level, you don't need to think too much, you just need to obey orders, but in our troops, if you have tactical opinions, you can put them forward. ”

Hammer nodded in agreement. Before you know it, hours have passed in the small talk, the heavy rain outside has stopped, and the news from the meteorological department is that the rain will gradually weaken, and there will be no problems with the helicopter taking off.

Huang Zheng immediately gave the order to prepare to board the plane, Zhu Jingxing waved his arm and loudly conveyed the order, and everyone began to board the plane in turn. The 17 members of the military observation group were also assigned to different planes, and Colonel Hammer of the US Army, Lieutenant Colonel Clark of the British Army, and Lieutenant Colonel Ivanovich of the Soviet Army all followed Zhu Jingxing on the same plane.

This new type of helicopter is a novelty for all members of the foreign military observation group. Because everyone hadn't seen it before, after sitting inside, I couldn't help but touch it and look at it, curious like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden.

But soon they stopped doing this, because the Japanese occupation zone had arrived, and the anti-aircraft fire on the ground made them understand that this was already a real battle!

……

The prisoners of war went back with the armored vehicles of the reconnaissance company.

They were not armed with any weapons, and everyone looked like they were exhausted. The officers and men of the reconnaissance company naturally showed them a warm and friendly attitude.

"Here, smoke one!" In the armored reconnaissance vehicle, Jiang Qinghe, the commander of the reconnaissance company, took out a shriveled cigarette case from his pocket, took out one from it, and handed it to Wei Yongxiang, who was sitting opposite him.

Wei Yongxiang took it and lit it with a match wiped by a sergeant next to him. Taking a deep breath, probably because he hadn't inhaled for too long, he was choked and coughed, and tears almost came out.

"Haha, I haven't smoked it for so long, I've forgotten what it smells like, right? Forget it, don't smoke it if you can quit, this thing is nothing good. Jiang Qinghe patted him on the back and said.

Wei Yongxiang waved his hand, "It's okay, I've always wanted to draw it, but it's this jerk, I can't stand it." ”

Jiang Qinghe lit one with himself, sucked it slowly, and asked seemingly casually, "How did you escape?" ”

Wei Yongxiang's eyelids moved slightly, and then said in a flat tone: "It's nothing." We have been discussing the riot for a long time. It was raining heavily tonight, and we killed a few of them with knives made of bamboo, snatched their guns and rushed away. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Yongxiang said with a hint of grievance: "The Japanese machine guns have locked the exit, and we have no heavy weapons to support. Most of the brothers were killed and wounded before they escaped......"

After saying this, Wei Yongxiang put his hands in his head and made a painful appearance, meaning that he didn't want to continue talking. Jiang Qinghe didn't ask anymore, and after everything arrived at the camp, he handed it over to his superiors.

After a while, Wei Yongxiang spoke, and he asked, "Where are you going to send us in a while?" ”

Jiang Qinghe pointed to the front and said, "I'll take you to the division headquarters." They'll screen your numbers and troops, and you'll just have to tell them when the time comes. ”

As soon as Jiang Qinghe's words fell, Wei Yongxiang moved away from the seat and knelt down in front of him all of a sudden.

Wei Yongxiang said with a crying voice: "Brother! Let us go, we are captured soldiers, and if we are captured, we will be shot in prison! ”

Jiang Qinghe was a little at a loss by his sudden move, he hurriedly got up to pull Wei Yongxiang, but the space in the armored car was too small, and the gun he hung on his chest was in the way, so he had to put the gun on his back and reach out to support Wei Yongxiang.

"No, the policy is very lenient on prisoners now, and it won't happen like you said." Jiang Qinghe explained bitterly.

But Wei Yongxiang and the others didn't seem to be able to listen, and several other prisoners of war also knelt down, crying the same content, tears made the scouts present very uneasy.

"Brother, you let them all go, I'll stay and accompany you to see the chief......" Wei Yongxiang said as tears fell, which made Jiang Qinghe a little in a dilemma, he had to explain over and over again that prisoners of war would not be punished, and now the policy and the people's thinking are also very open-minded.

At this time, Wei Yongxiang and a prisoner of war next to him glanced at each other, and after a brief eye contact, the two immediately understood.

Jiang Qinghe didn't notice this detail, and when he was persuading the big brother in front of him, suddenly, Wei Yongxiang burst out and grabbed the pistol on Jiang Qinghe's waist.

Seeing this, Jiang Qinghe suddenly felt bad, and immediately split his hand to grab it, but Wei Yongxiang's hand was faster, he directly snatched Jiang Qinghe's pistol this time, and after pushing it onto the chamber with a bang, he shot Jiang Qinghe several times with a bang.

Jiang Qinghe fell in a pool of blood, and the other prisoners of war also acted immediately, scuffling with the scouts around him.

The space in the reconnaissance vehicle was cramped, and the weapons in the scouts' hands could not be used at all, and the prisoners of war suddenly erupted, and their previous defensive psychology had been relaxed in the chat along the way, and the sudden actions of the prisoners of war at this time caught them off guard.

Wei Yongxiang killed the driver of the scout's vehicle, and he drove the armored car into other armored vehicles, and suddenly there was chaos in the formation, the prisoners of war and the scouts writhed in the armored car in the narrow space, and the gunshots like bursting beans continued to sound.

Ten minutes later, the outcome of a fierce battle between the two sides was already clear.

Due to the sudden and organized attack of the POWs, the more than 30 scouts had little ability to resist in the cramped space, and the Japanese soldiers, disguised as POWs, took out short blades hidden in their waists and killed them.

"Haruno-kun, it's been dealt with, twelve of our people have died, seven have been wounded, and those soldiers have all been killed by us!" A Japanese man dressed as a prisoner of war ran to Shigeo Haruno's side.

Shigeo Haruno glared at him, "From now on, call me Wei Yongxiang." Get on the bus and head towards Suzhou Airport! ”
