The serious shortage of officers and men made the morale of the Fifth Division unprecedentedly weakened, and even a very small number of devil officers and men went crazy or even committed suicide without waiting for the Red Army to attack because of extreme despair, while Captain Fujita Nakasa, the supreme commander of the Japanese army, who was still able to take charge of so many subordinates, was somewhat at a loss because he was in charge of so many subordinates for the first time, and repeatedly muttered "sacrifice the jade to pieces"

The next day, after Hu Weidong confirmed that the Japanese navy had really left, he immediately ordered a general attack on Tanggu, and tens of thousands of Red Army troops soon rushed into Tanggu City like a tide

At this time, in the former enemy headquarters of the Red Eighth Army, political commissar Zhang Hao asked Hu Weidong with some uneasiness, "Those Japanese soldiers have only joined the Red Army for a few days, is it a little urgent to let them join the war now?" ”

"If we don't dare to send them in a battle like this, then when will we send them into battle? What a waste just to train soldiers for us! Hu Weidong said with a smile, "Don't worry, these Japanese soldiers are more haode in ideological transformation, and most of them are participating in the war as jishu troops this time, and our commanders and fighters will not relax their vigilance against them, even if they are half-minded, they can't turn over the big waves, and if they have never had the opportunity to test, how do we know which of these people are really abandoning evil and following good, and which ones are just false and wronged?" Moreover, the participation of these Japanese soldiers in the battle will certainly deal a heavy blow to the morale of the remnants of the enemy army, and it will be very beneficial for our operations"

"Then give it a try." , Zhang Hao is not a stubborn person, and considering that he has just arrived in the Eighth Army Corps, he is still a layman in the military, so he finally retracted his opinion.

At this time, at a certain gap in the Tanggu city wall, a regimental commander of the main attack force was patting a short soldier on the shoulder and asked approvingly, "Matsumoto, good marksmanship, the ninth, right?" ”

"Yes." The short man replied in not very fluent Chinese that he was actually the Japanese soldier who was the first to stand up and refute the militaristic fallacy of their co-captain when the Japanese army was besieged, and the 65th Regiment was able to recruit many Japanese prisoners of war, whose full name was Matsumoto Shingo

Because of Matsumoto's meritorious service and his good performance in political and ideological education during these days, Hu Weidong unusually agreed that he would carry a rifle into the battle, instead of using grenadiers like other Japanese soldiers. Of course, this is also because Matsumoto Shingo was originally a sharpshooter, even in the original devil brigade, it was second to none, but because his conscience has not been completely extinguished, he has resisted all kinds of bestiality that are more common in the Japanese army, so he has not been very gregarious in the army, and his background is very low, so he is just a small senior soldier, in fact, seriously speaking, the reason why Matsumoto Shingo resolutely stepped forward at the beginning, in addition to the despair of being surrounded and waiting for death and the hatred of his sister's humiliation, The long-term resentment of having no talent but no way to advance is also an important reason

Speaking of the Red Army's sharpshooters, machine guns, gun grenades, mortars, infantry guns and mountain artillery (due to the large number of suppressed artillery captured in Fengtai, the mountain artillery with poor power and range has all been assigned to the regimental level as infantry support firepower. Just stared at the devil who looked like an officer, and achieved good results. After a large number of officers died in battle, the Japanese soldiers who were known for their fearlessness of death gradually became half-hearted, and the words invented by Hu Lian were even more down-to-earth, although due to the devil's supervision team was very hard, there were no devil soldiers who successfully surrendered for the time being, but the morale of the Japanese army also fell more rapidly...,

However, the devil's adaptability is also very strong, after hundreds of large and small officers of the Japanese army, including Jun Cao, were killed by the Red Army, the surviving Japanese officers changed into ordinary soldiers' clothes one after another, and strictly forbade their subordinates to salute them. But Matsumoto Shingo, as a veteran of the original Japanese army, can easily find those devil officers disguised as ordinary soldiers, because the ranks in the Japanese army are extremely strict, no matter how many officers pretend to be small soldiers, they will still habitually put on a superior jiashi, and the Japanese soldiers don't want to straighten their waists in front of them. But it's easy to say, if you don't have enough experience, it's still difficult to distinguish, and at present, it's probably also Matsumoto Shingo and other original Japanese prisoners of war, even after the devil officers have changed their clothes, Matsumoto Shingo still quickly found three devil soldiers disguised as small soldiers and killed them one by one, the regiment commander was very happy when he heard about it, and lent Matsumoto the sniper rifle that he usually regarded as a treasure, but after he made a great achievement, the corps commander personally picked out a good gun, loaded it on the scope and adjusted it to him. Ordinary people are not allowed to touch it

This time Matsumoto is even more powerful, but he has killed nine devil officers in half a day. Matsumoto's regimental commander Liu Hailong looked at Matsumoto, who unceremoniously killed his compatriots, and couldn't help but secretly admire the commander's insight, "When fighting, we should give Japanese soldiers more opportunities to perform, and we don't have to think about their national feelings." You have to remember that if you can't do anything to the Japanese army, then no matter how good you behave in the ideological transformation, this Japanese soldier is not trustworthy. Moreover, the more devils are eliminated with their own hands, the more the revolutionary nature of these Japanese soldiers can be stimulated, and they will even become more loyal than our comrades, because they have no way out! Generally speaking, you can first let Japanese soldiers serve as artillerymen, grenadiers and other jishu troops, kill the enemy in an indirect way, and wait until the psychological barriers are overcome, and then send them to the front line to kill the enemy with their own hands, so as to cut off a trace of illusion about their return, even if they perform well in the post of jishu soldiers, this level must be passed, but Matsumoto Shingo does not need to go through this step, He is currently the only Japanese soldier who has taken the initiative to join us in the Japanese army, and with the strong militaristic atmosphere of the Japanese army and the extremely harsh military law, this is enough to show his potential revolutionary nature, and it should not be an insurmountable psychological obstacle to go directly to the battlefield and turn against us."
