This is a comprehensive fortification made of rivers, buildings, barbed wire, horses, sandbags and other items, the center is the headquarters of the 11th Division, a three-story reinforced concrete building, this building is the tallest and strongest building in Shaoguan City, originally a branch of the Guangdong Commercial Bank. After the Japanese army occupied Shaoguan, the building was requisitioned and used as the division headquarters.

After resisting for a while, the Japanese troops in the city began to shrink into this defensive line, and the soldiers of the 90th Army followed the Japanese troops tightly to the front of the defensive line. The officers and men of the 460th Brigade were the first to arrive at the defensive line, and the brigade commander Wei Bin also personally went to the front line to direct the battle. Looking at the fortifications built in a hurry by the Japanese army, Wei Bin sneered.

Wei Bin was about to order tanks and heavy armored vehicles to attack, and the commander of the first battalion of the 871st Regiment, who rushed to the front, hurriedly ran to Wei Bin. The commander of the first battalion said to Wei Bin: "Brigade seat, these bastards of little Japan have captured a lot of ordinary people and blocked the position, and they have to find a way to rescue these people before attacking!"

Wei Bin's face changed, grabbed the binoculars and said to the battalion commander as he walked: "Let's go, go and see." Wei Bin came to the front line and raised his binoculars to look at the Japanese position. Sure enough, a large number of Chinese civilians were tied up on the Japanese position, and behind them were heavily armed Japanese soldiers watching. Seeing such a scene, Wei Bin scolded angrily: "These beasts are not human beings at all! Although he scolded like this, Wei Bin really didn't dare to order an attack immediately.

The situation was reported to Tang Renxin and Yu Hanmou by the signal corps as quickly as possible, and Yu Hanmou, Tang Renxin, and Tang Hongming, commander of the 210th Division, immediately rushed to the front-line position. After understanding the situation and observing on the spot, Yu Hanmou said to Tang Renxin: "Deputy Commander Tang, this is trouble, damn little Japan is taking the people as hostages, we have to find a way to rescue these people!"

Tang Renxin replied: "Commander Yu, rest assured, we will not attack the people regardless of their lives or deaths, as for how to rescue the people, let's discuss it when we return to the headquarters before deciding." At this time, the 461st Brigade and the 278th Brigade also attacked the Japanese defense line, and Tang Renxin asked the signal corps to send orders to all units to encircle the Japanese army first and suspend the attack. All the commanders of all units went to the headquarters for an operational meeting.

An hour later, in the conference room of the temporary headquarters of the front line, the two division commanders Yu Hanmou, Tang Renxin, Li Yuanhong, and Tang Hongming, the three brigade commanders Wei Bin, Liu Mingde, and Huang Gang, and several regiment commanders all arrived. Tang Renxin saw that everyone was here, and there was not so much nonsense, and he directly explained the situation to everyone. Most people here did not know that the Japanese army had taken innocent people hostage to stop the attack of the Chinese army.

Tang Renxin motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone, you can't solve the problem by scolding alone, and the purpose of inviting everyone here today is to discuss a way to target Little Japan and strive to rescue these people safely." If you have any ideas, you can put them forward and discuss. After Tang Renxin finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room.

After a while, Li Yuanhong stood up and said: "Commander-in-Chief Yu, Deputy Army Commander, in the direction of my 278th Brigade's attack, I have not found any detained civilians, I am the closest to the Japanese division and regiment headquarters in this direction, can I launch a surprise attack, as long as the Japanese command headquarters is quickly taken, the Japanese army will lose its command structure and will be in chaos, and then the troops in front will rush up to rescue the people." Do you think that's going to work?"

Yu Hanmou was still thinking about it, and Tang Renxin replied: "I'm afraid this method won't work, your brigade will take time from the beginning of the protrusion to the capture of the Japanese headquarters, no matter how fast it is, and the Japanese army has time to order the slaughter of the people." With this order, the frontal troops were too late to save the people. After Li Yuanhong sat down, several more people proposed several methods, but none of them were safe, and they were vetoed by Yu Hanmou and Tang Renxin.

While everyone was deliberating, a guard came to report that the Japanese army had sent a letter asking to see the Supreme Commander. General Yu Hanmou immediately stood up and scolded: "I'm going to see what tricks these dog-day little Japan are playing!" After scolding, he walked out of the conference room. In another office of the headquarters, a Japanese officer was brought before General Yu Hanmou.

As soon as the Japanese major saw General Yu Hanmou wearing a general's uniform, he immediately saluted, handed over a letter, and said in Chinese: "Your Excellency General, this is a letter personally written by Your Excellency the commander of our division, and I also ask Your Excellency the General to give a reply as soon as possible." General Yu Hanmou took the letter after glancing at the young officer, and opened it to read it.

The letter was written in Chinese and was not long, with a request from the commander of Watahisa's division. Watahisao proposed that the Chinese army open the road from Shaoguan to Guangzhou, not to prevent the 11th Division from withdrawing to Guangzhou, and not to attack the 11th Division during the retreat. The 11th Division guaranteed the personal safety of this group of Chinese people, and after joining up with the reinforcements from Guangzhou, it would release all the people.

After reading the letter, Yu Hanmou sneered and said: "You go back and tell your division commander that we Chinese soldiers will not compromise with you, and you can only lay down your arms and surrender." You lay down your arms and surrender, and we will guarantee your lives and treat you as prisoners of war. Otherwise, you will have to be wiped out completely. ”

The Japanese officer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "Your Excellency General, I hope you can think about the lives of these ordinary people, and we Japanese soldiers don't want to hurt them." Yu Hanmou angrily interrupted the words of the Japanese army Shaozuo and reprimanded: "Shut up, you are not worthy of mentioning the word soldier at all, not even a person! I warn you, if you dare to harm these innocent people, we will wipe you all out, and there will not be a single prisoner, you had better think about it carefully!"

The Japanese soldier's face was red and white, and finally he saluted speechlessly and left. Yu Hanmou returned to the conference room in anger, and as soon as he told everyone about the matter, everyone scolded Little Japan for being shameless, and praised Yu Hanmou for answering well. No one will agree to the conditions of Little Japan, but how to rescue these ordinary people, everyone has not discussed a good way.

At this moment, a person broke into the conference room, and everyone saw that it was Tang Xiaoshan, the commander of the reconnaissance brigade. Tang Xiaoshan entered the conference room and saluted everyone first, and then said to Tang Renxin: "Commander-in-Chief Yu and Deputy Commander Tang, I have heard about the Japanese army's taking people as hostages, and I have also gone to the front line to observe, and the matter of rescuing these civilians will be handed over to our reconnaissance brigade to complete." ”

Tang Xiaoshan's words made the conference room quiet for a while, Yu Hanmou still couldn't believe Tang Xiaoshan, but Tang Renxin secretly said ashamed, how could he forget the reconnaissance brigade unit? So Tang Renxin asked: "Xiaoshan, what good way do you have?" Tang Xiaoshan replied calmly: "Deputy Commander Tang, when the military seat trained us, he specifically mentioned the method of rescuing hostages in different situations, and specially trained us in this regard. I carefully watched the Japanese army's detention of the civilians, and as long as I waited until the evening, I was confident that I would succeed in freeing the civilians. ”

General Yu Hanmou suddenly asked: "Are you the brigade commander of the reconnaissance brigade?" Are you sure that you can rescue all these civilians safely?" Tang Xiaoshan replied: "Commander-in-chief Yu, although our reconnaissance brigade does not dare to say that one person will not be killed or injured to rescue all the people, but we still have the certainty that the vast majority of the people can be saved safely. General Yu Hanmou was also overjoyed at this time, and said excitedly: "Great, I'm in a hurry, Brigade Commander Tang can be sure to rescue the people, and I will be relieved." ”

After the meeting was dismissed, Yu Hanmou, Tang Renxin and Tang Xiaoshan came to the station of the reconnaissance brigade together. Except for a regiment left for Wang Haitao, a battalion sent to Ulling, and a unit sent out to reconnoiter the enemy, the rest of the soldiers were all concentrated in the camp. When Tang Xiaoshan arrived at the camp, he first selected a group of veterans who had been trained to rescue hostages from among the soldiers.

Most of these veterans are veteran scouts brought out by Wang Haitao when he established an independent regiment in Longzhou, and now they are at least with the rank of second lieutenant. With this group of people as the backbone and a part of the veterans with special skills added, the team to rescue the people will be established. This team is different from other teams, and the equipment and tactical literacy and capable level all surprised Yu Hanmou.

In Yu Hanmou's eyes, the soldiers of the Ninety Army were already the elite of the elite of the national army, and when he saw this team, Yu Hanmou didn't know how to describe it, and at the same time, Yu Hanmou's heart was more confident that he could safely rescue these people. After Tang Xiaoshan assembled the team, he asked the team to safely rescue all the people detained by the Japanese army, and asked the team to be temporarily disbanded, and everyone prepared the weapons and equipment they needed.

After that, Tang Xiaoshan gathered all the snipers among the soldiers outside the team, and let them freely choose the type of ground to provide support to the team carrying out the mission. The rest of the warriors were organized, and once the civilians were freed, they would quickly come forward to meet them and block possible Japanese pursuits and attacks.

The tasks are arranged one by one, all the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade are preparing in an orderly manner, and the first to leave the camp are the snipers, who will choose the appropriate terrain in advance and lock on the target to be sniped. These are professionally trained snipers, and they can be said to be Wang Haitao's second disciples, but they are not comparable to those sharpshooters in ordinary troops.

As the sky gradually darkened, the Chinese army never launched an attack, which made the Japanese army breathe a sigh of relief, and all the Japanese troops understood why the Chinese army did not attack, so they kept some of the people who were taken hostage more tightly. The number of civilians in custody has also increased from one squadron to one squadron. These people have gradually calmed down from the initial panic and anxiety, and many people have resigned themselves to their fate.
