Chapter 179: My Comrade-in-Arms

Although he had mixed feelings in his heart, a Japanese soldier named Naoto Sakai among the three people immediately replied, "Now that the two armies have been entangled together, the grenadier can't be used at all, and close combat, only close combat can repel the enemy and turn the tide of the battle." ”

Wu Xiuwen didn't answer immediately after hearing this, just paced back and forth in place, this matter is very important, if something really happens, it is definitely not something that a small deputy battalion commander can handle.

"We used to be part of the invading army, and many of them have personally hurt the Chinese, so it is natural that people cannot fully trust us for the time being. Moreover, it is true that there may be a few soldiers among us who have not completely removed the remnants of militaristic ideology in their minds, and if we are shot, even if only one or two people shoot at us, it will cause very serious consequences. So, Comrade Battalion Commander, I understand your concerns. ", Naoto Sakai confessed.

This made Wu Xiuwen blush, but he opened his mouth, but after all, he still didn't say something like "Who said I won't shoot you?" Words to come.

But to his surprise, Naoto Sakai said, "Comrade battalion commander, in fact, we only need one chance to participate in the battle, anyway, the main thing is hand-to-hand combat, and you can kill devils by picking up a sapper shovel, of course, if you agree to give us grenades (just in case, the grenades and grenades used in the grenadiers are kept by the Chinese soldiers, and when the grenadiers are used, they are handed over to the Japanese grenadiers one by one.) It would be even better."

At this time, the numerical advantage of the devils had offset the morale boost of the troops caused by Lin Shu taking the lead in the counter-charge. Even Lin Shu himself was seriously injured and unconscious. The unstoppable Japanese army took advantage of the situation to seize three positions in a row, and the half battalion of the 2nd Regiment that was originally arranged here was no longer enough to make up a whole company, and Wu Xiuwen, who had no other way, could no longer take any risks, and immediately agreed to let the more than 100 Japanese soldiers participate in the battle, and agreed to let the Chinese soldiers who kept the grenadier ammunition hand over the grenades to them.

Even though the more than 100 elite soldiers of the original devils who were finally liberated did not have guns in their hands, they still immediately showed strong combat effectiveness, and the weight of the sapper shovel also well restrained the length advantage of the Type 38 rifle with bayonets, and these people are still a new force, so they suddenly recaptured a key position from the hands of the devils and finally stabilized the situation on the battlefield. And about the same time. More than 50 Chinese soldiers who were originally responsible for guarding the grenadier ammunition and secretly monitoring were also liberated to participate in the battle, so that the available troops on the left flank of the 2nd Regiment suddenly exceeded that of the first battle

In the midst of the bloody battle between the two armies. The "cannibalism" of the Japanese was the most conspicuous, with red eyes shouting "Destroy the traitors" and stabbing their bayonets at the enemy, while shouting "Down with the fascist warlords" and "For the sake of the new Japan, forward!" The reason for the fight was that it was made according to the size of the Chinese, and they held slightly bulky sapper shovels to chop and smash their former comrades-in-arms into piles of flesh and blood that were not human-shaped

"Even our soldiers, I'm afraid they may not be so desperate", Wu Xiuwen looked at the brutal brawl in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It was also from this moment that he really regarded those Japanese as comrades in arms that he could trust.

But Wu Xiuwen didn't know that perhaps some of those Japanese soldiers had really taken the ideas of "Down with the Japanese warlords" and "building a new Japan for the people" deeply rooted in their hearts, but at least for now, for most of them, the motivation that drove them to work so hard was actually just to survive. They were very clear about the military regulations of the Japanese army, especially the Japanese Army, and even if the 15 th Army did not repeatedly publicize it, they knew what would happen to them once they were caught by the Japanese army, and if they fled in a cowardly fight, what awaited them would be ruthless battlefield discipline. So. If they want to survive or even return to their hometown as heroes, they can only help China completely defeat the invading Japanese army. It can be said that with only one way to go, they have become outlaws in the true sense of the word, and with the commonality of all traitors in history, they have now performed in the battle against the Japanese army. Actually, it's not surprising at all. …,

No matter what country or camp, traitors are always the most hated. Therefore, these more than 100 Japanese soldiers naturally took away the hatred of the vast majority of the Japanese officers and soldiers, and the Chinese soldiers, who had greatly reduced the pressure, were able to once again give full play to the powerful firepower of the Type 24 semi-automatic rifle, killing one devil after another with "bang", "bang", "bang", "bang". At this time, Yang Botao finally led the 2nd Regiment Special Service Company to come to reinforcements, and the devil who was already declining could no longer resist it. However, knowing that they had no chance of victory, they still fought stubbornly to Zuihou alone, inflicting unprecedented heavy casualties on the 2nd regiment

In this battle, the 2nd Regiment suffered more than 300 casualties (including Japanese soldiers), of which more than 200 were permanently reduced in sacrifice and disability, and 7 cadres including the political commissar of a regiment were also sacrificed. Among them, although the Japanese soldiers who were still 143 people when they came to the left flank position were fighting grenadiers in the early stage and later joined the battle, the casualties were frightening, and less than half of them were still alive after the war, and almost all of them were wounded. But it was precisely from this point in that most of the commanders and fighters of the 15th Army began to truly regard the Japanese soldiers as their comrades-in-arms, unlike before, although they were very welcome, but only to use their military skills.

Because of the great exemplary significance of this incident, the Japanese soldiers who participated in the war were later commended by the Central Committee for exceeding the standard, and most of the survivors joined the Red Party or the New Japanese Communist Party within one year (the former accounted for the vast majority, so much so that Hu Weidong later had to work for many people to transfer their organizational ties to the Japanese Communist Party in order to strengthen the strength of the "pro-China faction" of the Japanese Communist Party), and became real "revolutionary comrades".

After learning of this incident, Lao Chiang in Nanjing even said a few "incredible", and then he was overjoyed, and now that the situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is grim, this matter must be vigorously publicized in order to hit the morale of the Japanese army. However, with the exception of a few people who had little to worry about in China, such as Naoto Sakai, most of the "Japanese comrades" refused to cooperate for fear of harming their relatives and friends.
