Chapter 400: Xie Baoqing, You're Not Human
Under the upper and lower attacks of planes and tanks, the Sakura special attack team carefully organized by Shiro Sumida was completely annihilated, and he did not even touch the edge of the PLA tank.
Xie Tian was not at ease, and led the Flying Tigers to extend the attack on other foxholes and devils hiding in the trenches, and only after making sure that there were no suicide squads did he order Ge Dazhuang to lead the tank division to advance cautiously.
More than ten miles away, when Shiro Sumida led the Japanese army to run back covered in sweat, the second line of defense that the Japanese army had spent several years building on the outskirts of Tianjin was already flying bright PLA flags everywhere.
Shiro Sukita sat down on the ground decadently, panting and adjusting his breathing.
It's really hard to be the acting commander-in-chief of the North China Army.
Commander Gangcun Ningci was beaten from Taiyuan to Tianjin by the People's Liberation Army, and he suffered a stroke, but in the end he did not escape, and was beaten into a sieve by Xie Baoqing.
Commander Yamada was even more straightforward, and without even coming over the Yellow River, he directly resigned to the Army Headquarters as the commander of the North China Army, and even the commander of the Central China Army also resigned, and he also made a heavy oath to commit suicide by caesarean section on the day of his successor's arrival.
The matter that even the two generals could not settle fell on the head of himself, the lieutenant general.
Sukita Shiro regrets this, if he didn't accept this appointment from the Army Headquarters, he would still be stationed in Beiping now, and he would at least be able to live for a while longer than now.
Now what?
Even if the reinforcements of a division of the Kwantung Army, the reinforcements of a local division, and the aircraft carrier formation escorting the local division immediately appeared in front of them, I am afraid that they would not be able to change the current defeat.
Shiro Sukita has figured it out, it's not that we are incompetent, it's that this Xie Baoqing is too strong, and it is not something that we Japanese can deal with at all.
Several high-ranking officers panted and gathered in front of Shiro Sumida, waiting for Shiro Sumita's next order.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) behind the buttocks has caught up, the PLA planes above are still circling and strafing and bombing, the troops have been beaten to pieces, and the retreat back to the urban area is dead, what should we do now?
Shiro Sumida's gaze swept over the faces of everyone around him and asked, "Gentlemen, what do you think we should do now?" ”
The commander of the 14th Division stationed in Tianjin, Yoshio Massachusetts, looked at Shiro Sukita with a wry smile and said, "Junita-kun, you are now the commander-in-chief, and my 14th Division listens to your orders." ”
Shiro Sumida was only the commander-in-chief of the North China Army who was temporarily appointed, and his original position was the commander of the Sixth Division, on an equal footing with Yoshio Massachusetts, with the rank of lieutenant general.
Shiro Sumida looked at Yoshio Massachusetts with a wry smile: "Massachusetts-kun, can't you give me some advice?" ”
Yoshio Massachusetts exhaled: "In the face of Xie Baoqing's troops, I, like Commander Okamura, have nothing to do. ”
Yoshio Massachusetts is a descendant of Gangmura Ningji, and has been following Gangmura Ningji since the Kwantung Army, and is also one of the few people who can put his heart into his heart.
After Okamura Ningji suffered a stroke, there was a long talk between Yoshio Massachusetts and Ningji Gangmura, and this long conversation had already made Yoshio Massachusetts afraid of Xie Baoqing, who had never fought before.
Sumida Shiro exhaled, stood up with the big tree beside him, straightened his military uniform expressionlessly, and said: "Then let me be the eternal sinner of the empire, I order, all the soldiers of the Tianjin garrison put down their weapons and surrender to Xie Baoqing's troops." ”
(Historically, Shiro Sukita surrendered to Yan Xishan in Taiyuan in 1945 on behalf of the First Army of the Japanese North China Army)
After announcing this order, Shiro Sumida breathed a sigh of relief.
This should be his last order as the interim commander-in-chief of the North China Army.
After nine days of confrontation across the river with the PLA, only one day after the PLA officially launched the attack, and just over four hours after it was exact, the troops he led had been crushed by the PLA and were deeply encircled.
Several high-ranking generals such as Yoshio Massachusetts hung their heads in unison, and some shed tears.
Since the start of the war against China, they were the first Japanese troops to surrender to the Chinese army, and they were also formed as divisions, a shame that not everyone could accept.
When the order to surrender was delivered, some people cried, some shot themselves, and even junior officers led their troops to capture Shiro Sukita and Yoshio Massachusetts.
After clearing the obstacles on the outskirts of Tianjin, Xie Tian and his air force units returned to several temporary airfields in Jinghai to land and refuel, replenish ammunition, and maintain urgently.
The armament and components of the aircraft have a service life, and it is impossible to keep them in combat condition all the time.
Xie Tian's plane had just landed at the temporary airport near the general front point, and Zhao Gang had already driven to Xie Tian in a jeep, and stood up excitedly and shook a piece of paper in his hand to Xie Tian, who got up from the cabin, and shouted: "Commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Army sent someone to announce that the Japanese Tianjin garrison surrendered to our army. ”
Xie Tianleng paused, smiled coldly and raised his feet to step out of the cabin, and said condescendingly to Zhao Gang: "Tell him, let them take up arms, Lao Tzu will not accept their surrender." ”
"Huh?" The ground staff, Hu Zhiyong, Xiao Qi and others, who had already jumped up and cheered, were stunned, and their arms were frozen in the air.
Zhao Gang also seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, stunned.
Xie Tian walked down the gangway and walked straight to Zhao Gang, and said in a deep voice: "The PLA does not accept Japanese prisoners, and there is only one kind of Japanese in front of the PLA, and that is the dead Japanese. ”
Seeing that Zhao Gang was still stunned, Xie Tian patted Zhao Gang's arm: "They have to pay for the crimes they committed in the past, and Lao Tzu doesn't have extra food to feed this group of dog mongrels." Let them take up arms and fight, Lao Tzu is not counting torture and killing prisoners, but also releasing poison gas bombs when he is dying, and organizing suicide squads, such an enemy will persecute themselves if they let them go, as long as they can find a chance to escape, they will take up arms again and kill our compatriots. To kill them is to redeem ourselves. ”
Zhao Gang's expression changed, and he nodded vigorously: "I understand, I'll let people tell them, take up arms, and refuse to surrender." ”
The people who came to pick up the plane around Xie Tian had already raised their arms and shouted: "Take up arms, refuse to surrender, and kill them all." ”
Shiro Sumita made the decision to surrender as a last resort, and the Chinese were soft-hearted, and they should not surrender like we did with our prisoners, and perhaps find a way to survive for these more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers.
As a result, Shiro Sukita and everyone did not expect Xie Tian to refuse their surrender and order them to take up arms.
Shiro Sukita and Yoshio Massachusetts looked at each other, and they saw despair in each other's eyes.
Xie Baoqing is really not an ordinary Chinese soldier, he ......
At this time, the sound of aircraft engines was heard in the sky again.
The Japanese army has become numb to the PLA planes, come on, bomb, strafe, it's a big deal or die.
The planes flew overhead, and as expected, the Japanese dropped bombs one after another.
Seeing the bomb landing and raising patches of red smoke, the Japanese soldiers shouted in horror: "It's Red No. 1!! ”
Without hesitation, Shiro Sumida took out a gun from the holster and aimed it at his temple, and yelled at the bomber in the sky who was still dropping bombs: "Baga, Xie Baoqing, you are not a fucking human!! ”
