Section 144 Mass surrender

Shi had imagined countless situations for the battle in front of him, the stubborn defense of the enemy, the inability to tear through the enemy's defense line or the guard company in a short time, but the current situation was something he did not expect, the Japanese defense line was as vulnerable as paper paste in their attack, and it was like a dream. It's not a dream, it's a reality in front of them.

"What's going on with the devil?" Zhang Lingfu said as if talking to himself.

The stone woke up in vain at this moment, and immediately shouted at the tall sledgehammer not far away: "Sledgehammer, go over and see what the situation is, be careful not to fall into the trap and ambush of the devil!" ”

The tall sledgehammer who received the order couldn't help but nodded, he obviously knew the idea of the stone, after all, they had been calculated by the devil a day ago, if it weren't for the extraordinary combat power shown by the brothers of Wang Ying and the second company, and gave the Japanese army great casualties at a critical time, I am afraid that their situation at this moment is not much better than that of the 173rd regiment. With this lesson from the past, it is natural to be more careful, if you fall into the trap of the devil again, the loss of troops is secondary, and it will also be a devastating blow to the self-confidence of these officers.

The tall sledgehammer was unequivocal, and immediately rushed into the town with a squad of guards. However, when he broke through the enemy's position, he couldn't help frowning at what he saw, and in vain, he understood what was happening. After being stunned for a moment, the tall sledgehammer immediately reacted, and immediately ordered the guards on the side, while ordering the follow-up troops of the third company to follow up quickly, he sent someone to report the battle situation here to the stone, this is not a trap, the Japanese army has indeed collapsed, and the shocking scene in front of him made him not happy to win the battle.

After Shi and Zhang Lingfu received the news, they didn't stop, and the two of them quickly entered the town to check the battle situation here!

The scene in front of them made the two well-informed generals stunned, and the Japanese army at Guanqiao had collapsed. The Japanese army has always been synonymous with tenacity and toughness in their hearts, although as enemies, they despise what the Japanese army does. However, we have to admit that in terms of combat capability, the Japanese army is indeed much stronger than them, and the weaponry, equipment, and firepower are one thing, and the quality of the troops is also another. The Japanese army, which advocates the spirit of "bushido", has a very tenacious will to fight, and often a unit fights to the last man, and will still persevere. After fighting with such a force for a long time, there will always be a trace of vigilance in my heart, and the battle speculation of the Japanese army is often applied according to this situation.

However, the reality is that it is very different from what they have always perceived. It was only at this moment that they clearly realized that after several years of war, although the Japanese army occupied a large area of land in our country, the war did not bring strength and prosperity to the Japanese army, but was about to drag the Japanese army down because of years of bloody battles. The gap between the combat strength of the soldiers and the previous one is the most intuitive thing they have seen, and two or three years ago, they would definitely have to pay a heavy price for fighting this kind of war. The more desperate the Japanese army is, the more they are able to exert their amazing combat power, and if they want to annihilate such troops, they must fight with a knife and a gun, and kill all the Japanese troops one by one.

Now they see that the situation is very different from the past, most of these Japanese soldiers are obviously wounded, and the continuous bloody battle for about half a month has also exhausted their physical strength, plus they have been continuously soaked in rain, whether it is body or willpower, they are getting worse and worse under such circumstances. And what made the Japanese army completely collapse was the psychological blow, in the case of no hope of breaking through, when the artillery unit was routed and the entire army was divided, they completely collapsed and gave up completely, and even when the brothers of the first company entered the town, many Japanese soldiers surrendered directly on their knees!

Surrender! This was absolutely not seen in the Japanese army in the past, and the fierce Japanese army had the courage to cut open the abdomen, and naturally had the will to fight to the last breath.

However, those are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, they have been thoroughly "brainwashed" by militarist thinking, and they are full of war fanaticism in their bones, and these Japanese soldiers can no longer be called human beings, they are all war machines cultivated by Japanese militarism, and they are a group of butchers whose humanity has been destroyed.

Because of the attrition of the war in the past four years, almost all the young men and women in Japan have been wiped out, and the soldiers recruited are all young people who have stepped on the battlefield after just three or four months of training, and many of them have even just stepped out of school and thrown themselves into this strange battlefield with the crazy emotions exaggerated by militarism. However, when all vanity and illusions are shattered, when all dreams are shattered, and only cruel reality and bloody killing remain, the fear of death also bursts out from the bottom of their hearts, especially the will of these people, in just a few months of training, they have not been cultivated at all, and it seems very normal to collapse under despair. It's just that Shi and Zhang Lingfu have fought too many battles with the Japanese army's A division and regimental troops, and their understanding of the Japanese army seems to be fixed on those most powerful troops, and they don't react to the situation here at all. This is also the reason why when Stone received the news that the company had broken into the town, he was worried that he would be ambushed.

"You kid, you're lucky, aren't you?" Zhang Lingfu also came back to his senses at this time, he looked at the stone, his face was full of incredulity.

The stone showed a helpless smile, this battle was fought, he really didn't know how to describe it, the devil collapsed like this? Guanqiao was won like this? Until now, he couldn't believe this fact, there was such a good war in the world? Just a charge, and the Japanese army collapsed and surrendered?

"Immediately let the third battalion rush to reinforcements to control the situation here, and then send someone to contact Li Wenguang, so that they can send troops to deal with the battlefield in the east and solve the battle around Guanqiao in the shortest possible time." The stone did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered. After giving the order, the stone also rushed to the depth of the official bridge with Zhang Lingfu, the official bridge at this moment, only some sporadic battles remained, after a series of overwhelming killings, the Japanese troops who were still resisting were broken through the stronghold positions one by one, killed on the spot, those Japanese soldiers who knelt on the ground and surrendered, they were left to take care of them, the situation was very weird, in some places a national army soldiers actually had to take care of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, but these devils could not afford any resistance at all, just passively waiting for the arrangement of fate.

The rain gradually began to fall, and the dim oil lamps were lit in each room, and the sight could not be seen far under this light, but the soldiers of the independent regiment did not dare to be careless, and stared at the Japanese troops who were crowded in the room one by one. The weapons and equipment on these people have been stripped away, even the boots on their feet have been stripped clean, and they shiver with fear and anxiety in the sound of the rain dripping, almost desperately waiting. Hunger and cold, coupled with the fear of death, made many Japanese soldiers can't help but let out desperate shouts and * sounds, but in this case, absolutely no Japanese soldiers dare to stand up, and someone has been shot mercilessly before, which also makes them dare not make the slightest move.

Not far from these houses, Shi and other officers were constantly busy in the temporarily set up regiment headquarters, Xiao Shandong had already rushed to the town at this time, shook the rain on his body, and he reported to Shi: "Brother Shi, the pre-9th Division has sent someone over." ”

Not long ago, Shi had already received the news that the 9th Division had also completely annihilated the Japanese army, and he and Zhang Lingfu were still thinking about whether to go to the mountains to meet Deputy Commander Zhang and others of the 70th Army, but they didn't expect that this Deputy Zhang Army seat would simply send someone over. It's good that way, it saves them a lot of trouble.

The person who came was a lieutenant colonel officer, under the leadership of several guards, braved the heavy rain to come to the front of Shi and Zhang Lingfu, as soon as he entered the temporary headquarters of the independent regiment, he was stunned, obviously this person's eyesight is particularly good, and he saw two generals in the room at a glance, he immediately saluted the two and said: "Huang Qian, the staff officer of the lieutenant colonel of the 9th Division, came on the order of Deputy Military Seat Zhang, I don't know which commander is the head of Shi?" When he said this, he looked at Zhang Lingfu, after all, whether it was posture or age, Zhang Lingfu was very adaptable, especially the general's faint non-anger and majesty, which he had never seen in ordinary people. As for the young major general on the side, he instinctively thought that it was the junior of a high-ranking official, with the rank of major general, who came to the army to mix his military exploits.

Zhang Lingfu has been in the army for so long, so he naturally knows this Huang Staff Officer's thoughts very well, he just smiled and didn't say anything, he has encountered this situation too many times.

Although the stone on the side was a little embarrassing, he had encountered it many times, and he was familiar with it, so he coughed lightly and saluted back and said: "I am the stone, this is General Zhang Lingfu, deputy commander of the 58th Division of the 74th Army." ”

As soon as the stone finished speaking, this Huang Qian immediately asked in surprise: "But Zhang Gushan attacked the rear road of the Japanese army, Chief Zhang?" ”

Zhang Lingfu chuckled and nodded: "It's just not talent, but I didn't expect Staff Officer Huang to know about me." ”

Huang Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly at this time, he was really out of sight this time, the stone who was known as the "best able to beat the regiment commander" of the national army was actually a young man who had not dried up, but the person who was mistaken by himself came from a bigger place, it was actually the famous "winning general" Zhang Lingfu of the whole army, no wonder the devil's troops in Guanqiao were solved so quickly, it was actually these two officers with amazing fame who were fighting this battle, obviously all this can be explained.
