Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There was drizzle in the sky, and the gunfire at the Minjiang Bridge had completely stopped, but bombs still fell on the Japanese positions from time to time.  No this can no longer be called a position. The Japanese troops who hurriedly retreated to the river had no time to build a position. At most, they only dug a temporary foxhole on the shore.

    These foxholes are so crude that they can at best withstand rifle bullets, but they cannot withstand powerful artillery shells.

    "Boom! Boom!"

    In order to maintain pressure on the Japanese troops, the artillery that had arrived would fire several rounds at them from time to time.  Of course, the too powerful 203 mm howitzer cannot be fired anymore, otherwise there will be few people left by the river after a while, so Shota Ishida asked for a few 80 mortars.  Just shoot a few from time to time to maintain deterrence.

    Under the long-term blows of the Chinese army's artillery shells that hit their own positions, the Japanese soldiers who were exhausted physically and mentally and with dull eyes. Although they were too tired after a night of fighting and running away, they heard this  The deafening rumble of cannons sounded again, but they still shrank up and lay motionless on the spot.  If you don't look carefully, you will almost think that these people lying on the riverside are dead people.

    Although these Japanese defeated soldiers were already miserable, they not only did not dare to organize a counterattack, but they did not even dare to fire a shot at the place where their "comatriots" were vaguely visible not far away.  Everyone was completely cowed, but those uninvited guests made of steel and cast iron that were "released" by their compatriots and pierced the sky, still had no intention of letting these "poor people" go.  On the Japanese military positions, it would happen from time to time that a "tragedy" would occur at close range between the warhead of a shell that was lucky enough to kill a mouse and the gunshot of an unlucky little Japanese.  Because at this moment, thousands of Japanese troops are about to be squeezed into a pile by their opponents, this kind of "close" contact that the Japanese are never willing to have will definitely bring about a bloody rain every time.

    Suffered from this unilateral massacre.  Undoubtedly, it has the greatest impact on the stability of an army's morale and morale. Over time, even the elite Japanese troops, who are known to have the strongest will to fight, will suffer under such circumstances.  I can't hold on for long either.  After all, as long as you are a human being, you must have a limit that you can endure.  Both Kashiwa Jingran and the Japanese commander knew this very well.

    Logically speaking, in this situation, the Japanese army should fight back.  Boost morale.  But at this time, the Japanese army was completely passive and could not even parry.  In this desperate situation, he can only let mermaids be eaten. How can he still have the strength to express his dissatisfaction with the actions of the compatriots around him?

    But at this time, the Japanese army had no one to do this, because at this time, the Japanese army had already been busy with itself, and more than a dozen commanders were divided into two circles to blame each other

    This is a depression near the river.  Because it was sunk deeply into the river, artillery shells fired from across the river could not reach them, and mortar shells were also difficult to reach.  It can be said to be a natural anti-blast hole.  But because the place is small.  It can only accommodate more than ten people, so only the dozen or so officers participating in the meeting can stay here.

    Kojiro Nishizumi couldn't believe his eyes. He pointed at the officers in front of him, with a look of disbelief on his face, and asked tremblingly: "Ogawa Haruo, you what are you doing? Are you planning a mutiny?  ?Don¡¯t forget, I am the supreme commander here!¡±

    At this time, the sky was already slightly brighter.  The faint light has begun to shine on people. With the help of the light, it can be seen that the leader of the several officers standing in front of Nishizumi Kojiro is a young captain.

    This captain is about 25 or 26 years old. He does not have the popular Tanren beard under his chin and lips, but is shaved smoothly. He bowed slightly towards Kojiro Nishizumi.  Bowed, and then said respectfully: "Major Nishizumi, it is true that you are the captain of the 1st Chariot Division, but we are officers of the 63rd Division. I don't think the hands of the Chariot Division are any better  The commander can¡¯t control our Sixty-third Division, right?¡±

    When Nishizumi Kojiro heard this, he was trembling with anger. He pointed at Captain Ogawa Haruso with a trembling finger and said, "Hagaya deer, you bastards, have you forgotten all the contents of the infantry code? After losing your direct superior,  Under such circumstances, you must obey the orders of the highest commander you can reach. If the highest commander disobeys, he can be executed on the spot. I don¡¯t need to remind you about this, right?¡±

    "That's enough, Sir Nishizumi!" Now the smile on the face of the captain named Ogawa Chunsheng faded, and he sneered with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Don't forget, I am a captain.  Banman! He has been an apprentice since he was a child, and he is also a full-time apprentice of the Daban Chamber of Commerce! (The company adopted orphans from a young age. The treatment is similar to that of bonded workers in China. Under normal circumstances, there is no personal freedom in life.?.  This was the remaining feudal system in Japan at that time.  ).  The reason why I joined the army was because I was forced to do so by the owner of a shop.  A person like me has no wife and children to worry about, and no parents to worry about. I only live for myself.  There are many people in my subordinates who have the same experience as me, so we have all discussed that there is no need for us people to suffer for Japan, because Japan has given us nothing.  So I think even participating in Commander Ishida's Japanese rescue mission outside is not an unbearable thing.  "

    "Baga! A bitch is a bitch. Just for those non-national words you said, I can chop you alive right away!" Kojiro Nishizumi, who always considers himself a samurai, couldn't stand such remarks, so he pulled out his hair immediately  The command knife at the waist.

    As the highest-ranking officer here, Nishizumi Kojiro naturally had many subordinates around him. When he pulled out his sword, three or four officers immediately stood up and glared at Ogawa Chunsheng. Some of them put their hands on their waists.  holster the gun in the room.

    Haruo Ogawa was not to be outdone. He was from the 63rd Division and he also had supporters. When Kojiro Nishizumi and others began to draw their swords, the remaining seven or eight officers also stood behind him and stared at each other.  , some officers even pulled out their pistols.  The Sixty-third Division is a second-line division, and most of its soldiers are from local soldiers and soldiers serving for the second time.  Most of these soldiers are around thirty years old when they serve again. Most of the men of this age have already married. After so many years of social life, they are naturally not as brave as those soldiers of the permanent divisions if they fight in the society. But if they  The flexibility of thinking is far beyond what those simple young people can match. Therefore, when Shota Ishida started to persuade him to surrender, many people were as tempted as Haruso Ogawa.

    Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Ogawa Haruso was the calmer one in the end. He quickly raised his right hand to signal both parties to calm down.

    "Everyone, if we fight to the death from time to time, it will only make people laugh in vain. If any of you really can't help but want to use force, you can go outside. I believe that the Chinese cannonballs will definitely give you  A chance to become a god.¡±

    Looking at Ogawa Chunsheng's gloomy face, everyone calmed down. They also realized that if the two sides continued like this, it would probably turn into a meaningless fight, and the Chinese army on the opposite side would definitely laugh out loud.

    Looking at the several officers behind him, Nishizumi Kojiro's heart sank instantly. The few people behind him were all officers of the First Division of Chariots, and the seven or eight officers next to Ogawa Chunsheng were  They were all members of the 63rd Division. He thought on his knees and knew that if a conflict broke out, he would definitely not be the one to laugh in the end.

    Nishizumi Kojiro said solemnly: "Ogawa-kun, since you want to join the rescue team outside, I won't force you. There is an old Chinese saying that everyone has his own ambitions. So be it. As the supreme commander, I allow it now.  You leave the battlefield, and as for your subordinates, if you want to leave, just leave together."

    When he said this, there was a hint of helpless bitterness in Nishizumi Kojiro's voice.  Once upon a time, the Japanese troops were so majestic on the battlefields of China, but what about now?  Someone actually surrendered to the Chinese. What a strong contrast and humiliation, but he was still powerless. This feeling was really bad.

    "Hai, thank you, Nishizumi-dono." Ogawa Harusi felt happy after hearing Nishizumi Kojiro's words. A smile appeared on his face and he bowed quickly to him and said, "Nishizumi-dono."  , I know your loyalty to the Empire of Japan and the Emperor, but your loyalty has been abused, I advise you to think about it carefully, the Chinese will have sex again later!"

    "Baga, get out of here right now!" Nishizumi Kojiro was furious and started yelling.

    "Well, Sir Nishizumi, let's take our leave then." Ogawa Chunsheng bowed to him again and strode out

    Twenty minutes later, bursts of cheers suddenly came from the position on the riverside.

    "The little devil surrendered, the little devil surrendered!"

    Sky-shaking cheers rang out along the river. The sound was so loud that both sides of the Minjiang River heard the sound. But what was surprising was that there was a hint of Japanese in these cheers, and the emotion was  Sent by those Japanese soldiers who rescued Japan.

    That's not all. The next day, the Japan Salvation Army sent a message to the whole world, announcing its break with the Japanese militarist government and reactionary military headquarters, and claimed that with the help of the Chinese army, the Japan Salvation Army would be established. As soon as this statement came out,  There was an immediate uproar internationally, and Japan's rescue mission came into the world's attention for the first time.
