Those sentenced to death by the Anti-Union Military Tribunal for crimes against humanity were the Japanese officers who participated in the Nanjing Massacre. It also includes Japanese officers who were able to find evidence of being captured on the Chinese battlefield, and other Japanese officers who committed the crime of massacring Chinese. This includes this Ben Shijiu Dazuo, who slaughtered all the villagers of an entire village and some prisoners of war in Leling.

This Shigakudai was sent to the execution ground along with a small number of Daisa-level officers, two members of the imperial family, two army generals, and a group of active and retired lieutenant generals and major generals. In this regard, Yang Zhen is still very humanitarian, and after the execution is completed, their ashes are sent back to the mainland by a plane.

Of course, that's all for later, at least not yet. The war has reached this time, and Yang Zhen, who has already turned part of his mind to the post-war period and is painstakingly planning some post-war operations. I really don't want to make something extraneous at this time.

I don't want to create some opportunities for certain aspects on certain issues. After all, many people can't let him fight on the battlefield, but it's very good at making some unnecessary moves. Sometimes, political and public opinion pressures are often more of a headache than military pressures.

Now the situation is different, and some things can no longer be done in private like the previous two years. There are many restrictions on doing things now, and in some aspects, you should put away some hands and feet, or you still have to put away some hands and feet, so Yang Zhen still emphasizes the discipline of prisoners of war at the moment.

In addition to the central government's strict regulations on prisoners. After re-establishing contact with the central authorities, some matters can no longer be handled in the same way as before, and the policies and disciplines formulated by the central authorities must be followed. After all, the central government's major requirements and directions still have to be fulfilled.

And he didn't want his troops to become an army of beasts and cannibals like the Japanese army. At the very least, Yang Zhen didn't want his troops to bear the blame of killing prisoners out of righteous indignation. If you don't kill these guys now, as well as those war criminals of the Japanese invasion of China who have fallen into the anti-Japanese alliance, it is for the sake of better trial of these beasts in the future.

War crimes against humanity, the most serious crimes stipulated in the Charter of the International Military Tribunal for Europe, which was established to try war criminals of Nazi Germany, were thoroughly used by Yang Zhen after the war. According to him, all Japanese officers in World War II, especially high-ranking officers, were guilty of this crime, at least on the battlefields of China. There is basically no exception to the fact that there is one that counts as one.

As for the troops who grit their teeth with hatred for this guy at the moment, but are constrained by discipline and can't directly collapse him, they don't know yet. Their number one will not let go of this Ben Shijiu Dazuo and all those who have committed a lot of blood debts on the battlefield in China, but rely on the protection of the Americans, and finally escape punishment.

Moreover, the war was in a hurry, and these cadres and soldiers were not given too much time to think nonsense. After completing the encirclement and annihilation of the remnants of the 259th Wing of Dingli Pole, the participating troops began to sweep eastward from Huangjia Town on the spot in accordance with the predetermined battle plan. The various troops that cooperated with the frontal attack, on the entire line of Ningjin and Leling, because they could not evacuate without alarming the enemy troops in front of them, they were left behind by Yanagawa Shinichi and attracted the attention of the remnants of the Anti-Japanese Union.

It turned out that the troops on the front line of Ningjin and Qingyun were entangled with two divisions of the Japanese army and tug-of-war for more than 20 days, although they also caused great casualties to the Japanese troops in front of them. But in the long tug-of-war, not only did he suffer heavy casualties, but he was also extremely tired.

Relying solely on the troops that had been holding out on the front line, it would be difficult to eliminate the more or less remnants of the enemy left behind by Yanagawa Shinichi in a short period of time. If you want to leave no hidden dangers behind you, Tao Jingfei can only take action by himself. In order to complete the elimination of these remnants of the Japanese army in the shortest possible time.

Judging from the massacre carried out by the Japanese troops on the front line of Dingli Pole before they withdrew, if they could not sweep away the remnants of the enemy on the entire battlefield in the shortest possible time. Who can guarantee that these dying Japanese soldiers will not make even crazier moves? Clean up early, and you don't have to worry about what these guys are doing behind you.

Despite these fragmented Japanese forces, each of which is small in strength, it is actually difficult to pose much of a threat in the current situation. can be prevented from happening, he Tao Jingfei still understands. Clean the house early, so you can get out early.

At the same time that the front-line troops participating in the battle in Huangjia Town had completed the encirclement and annihilation of the remnants of the 259th Wing and swept the remnants of the enemy eastward. The two regiments that launched the frontal attack from Ningjin launched a full-front attack on the remnants of the 115th Division with the cooperation of the frontal blocking troops of the former Ningjin Battlefield and the assembled forces. The reinforced battalion that broke through the front line of Huangjia Town went straight to the flank of the 85th Brigade on the right flank of the 115th Division.

In cooperation with the frontal assault troops, the encirclement of more than 1,500 remnants of the 85th Brigade and Regiment was completed. And with a force to attack from east to west, the 86th Brigade and Regiment on the right flank of the Ningjin battlefield were attacked. In order to cooperate with the battlefield west of Texas and the Du Kaishan Division, which was interspersed at high speed, the Japanese army in the entire Texas battlefield was encircled.

On the front line of Yan's housework in the easternmost part of the entire battlefield, a reorganized division of Tao Jingfei's department, which rushed to ambush here, also held on this line and was retreating at full speed, but it crashed headlong into the remnants of the two wings of the 120th Division of the ambush circle, plus about 3,000 troops directly under it, to carry out the final encirclement and annihilation battle.

For fear that the retreat would be late, it would be surrounded by the tank cluster of the Anti-United Nations in Leling. Yanagawa Shinichi, who was anxious to retreat, did not equal the withdrawal of the 259th Wing after the 260th and 261st Wings were withdrawn, so he immediately commanded the remnants of the two wings that had been evacuated and quickly retreated eastward along the north and south lines of the Shinuji River Ancient Road.

When Tao Jingfei took the lead on the front line of Huangjia Town, the remnants of the command had already withdrawn from Yanagawa Shinichi, who had crossed the road between Qingyun and Leling. After hearing the overwhelming sound of gunfire behind him, instead of worrying about the 259th Wing, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yanagawa Shinichi thought that his decision to quickly leave the Leling battlefield without waiting for the 259th Wing to withdraw was very correct. If I wait until the 259th Wing withdraws, and retreats after getting out of contact with the enemy, I am afraid that these two wings will not be able to keep it. It was also his timely retreat, and the broken wrist of the strong man at the critical moment, that kept the last trace of vitality of the 120th Division.

As for whether the 259th Wing, which was responsible for breaking off the whole division, could finally get rid of the bite of the face-to-face resistance and withdraw, Yanagawa Shinichi did not hold out much hope. Not only did he not give any support to the 259th Wing. In my heart, I also hope that this 259th Wing can delay the in-person resistance for as long as possible.

Anyway, when the battlefield is unfavorable, this tactic of gecko tail cutting off is also a tactic that is quite common for the Japanese army. Since other divisions and regiments that had suffered defeats on the battlefield had adopted this tactic, there would not be one more 120 divisions.

For Yanagawa Shinichi, the longer the 259th Wing resists on the front line of Dingli Pole, the more beneficial it will be for his main force to break through. It was precisely because of this kind of thinking that when the 259th Wing was fighting to the death, Yanagawa Shinichi was constantly urging, and the main force of the division accelerated the march.

But Yanagawa Shinichi, who thought he was very clever in his calculations, did not expect that the remnants of the army under his command would be defeated, and as soon as they withdrew from the Dongsanli line, a large number of anti-coalition troops suddenly came out on both wings. Under the cover of dense artillery fire, the retreating forces under his personal command were besieged on three sides.

Although it is necessary to know whether it will be intercepted by the enemy when retreating, it has been quite well prepared as early as when formulating the entire retreat plan. Therefore, when retreating, Yanagawa Shinichi did not gather the remnants of the two wings, but adopted the method of parallel routes in the north and south.

It is hoped that when encountering an attack or interception, the two divisions can respond to each other and cooperate in combat, so as to be able to obtain a glimmer of life at a critical moment. Don't let the family block the remnants of the two wings on one route, and then there will be no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

According to the original judgment of Yanagawa Shinichi and Nakanishi Manchuria, he would definitely be intercepted when he retreated, which can be said to be inevitable. Although judging from the situation that the enemy forces are interspersed too fast in the entire battlefield and do not have many troops left in depth, the number of enemy troops that may not be encountered is too large, but the enemy's interception action will definitely occur.

It is also based on this judgment that although there are not many available soldiers in their hands, the two of them still decided to divide the troops into two ways. One is to speed up the retreat, and the other is to hope that they can play a role in tactical cooperation when they are critically needed.

Both Yanagawa Shinichi and Nakanishi Manchurian Jiro believed that as long as the two divisions retreated from the north and south along the old road of the Shinüji River were properly coordinated. Even if it is intercepted, as long as the enemy does not send a large number of tanks, there is still a possibility of rushing out in one go. Moreover, the two parts are parallel at the same time, which is also conducive to alternate cover when needed.

One way is intercepted, and the other can fully cooperate. In the eyes of Shinichi Yanagawa and Jiro Manchuria, this kind of deployment is almost the best choice in the current situation. The only drawback is that once you encounter a large army of the enemy, the two roads with insufficient troops may be defeated by the enemy at the same time.

Although in Yanagawa Shinichi's opinion, the probability of such a possibility is very small. But for the sake of safety, Yanagawa Shinichi put the scouts far away during the retreat. At least don't run into an enemy ambush while retreating. It's just that he is now retreating the troops that are already insufficient in strength, and the troops are retreating in two ways, but he can't take care of the depth of the two flanks of the entire retreat route.

But if you are mentally prepared, you must be mentally prepared. In the face of the anti-union reorganization division that had been killed around and had an absolute advantage in terms of troops, Yanagawa Shinichi and his subordinates were still beaten into chaos in a short period of time. And the scouts he sent out didn't have time to send back any useful information.

What Yanagawa Shinichi didn't expect was that in order to deal with him and his remnants, the Anti-Japanese Federation deployed an entire infantry division on the front line of Yan's housework. It has not only formed an absolute superiority in firepower, but also an absolute superiority in troops. Two whole regiments of infantry were lying in ambush on the flanks of his entire marching column.

The most critical ambush force was quite patient, watching the Japanese scouts pass by without launching an attack, patiently waiting for the main force of his division to enter the ambush circle. In order to conceal their whereabouts, the troops involved in the ambush also tried to camouflage as carefully as possible in the entire ambush area.

Moreover, when the ambush was set up, the anti-United Nations ambush force, which had an absolute advantage in strength, consciously stretched the ambush circle very long. When the Japanese scouts had not yet had time to contact the blocking force at the bottom of the ambush circle, they discovered and reported back to the enemy. The anti-United Nations ambush troops deployed on both flanks of the old road of the Sinusi River have been launched in an all-round way.
