Chapter 179: Takeshita Shun is really brave, he killed the Japanese lieutenant general and announced
It has been half a month since the special forces of Takeshita Shun were arranged to enter Wucheng. During this half month, Ding Wei completed the mobilization of troops and the replenishment of troops in various units.
1700 unarmed recruits were sent into the army.
The division commander and the general finally understood that it was enough to just assign people to Ding Wei. There was no need for weapons and equipment, as he had plenty of them.
Just when Song Guolei had 1700 people, he ordered the Suirecha Military Region to mobilize five main companies to the Hebei-Central region to enrich the base area.
After going back and forth for a while, they used a group of new recruits to obtain equipment from Ding Wei and formed the main combat company.
With the company as the backbone, a battalion can be easily formed.
What the North China region lacks the least is manpower. As long as there are weapons and equipment, they can recruit as many soldiers as needed.
Moreover, the people there are martial artists, and they have fought for hundreds of years to conquer the Central Plains.
With a little training, you can fight a bloody battle with the Japanese.
How could Ding Wei say no to the boss's words? Besides, disrupting the situation in North China would also be beneficial to him.
They can focus on advancing to the northeast, and now they have control over most of the Yanshan area.
As long as Chifeng is taken, it will pose a threat to Jinzhou, Fengtian and Tongliao areas.
In addition, an intelligence report was intercepted that the Kwantung Army was going to dispatch several divisions to fight in the Pacific.
Based on this information, Ding Wei decided to stabilize the situation temporarily and wait until the enemy's strength weakened.
Leave enough energy to capture Wucheng and Zhangbei in June.
Solve the two problems in the base.
In order to avoid any further complications, they began to contact the undercover personnel in the city according to the agreed information.
Zhou Weiguo was fully responsible for this matter, after all, it was he who guaranteed Takeshita Shun.
At the Japanese headquarters in the city, Takeshita Shun received a grand reception.
This young colonel is quite famous in the Japanese army.
The Japanese brigade commander Hitomi Yoichi was very pleased. In the doomsday-like darkness, any reinforcements could bring confidence to the defending troops.
It can be said that the arrival of the special forces has greatly boosted morale and is far more useful than any other support.
"General, I see that the defenses in the city are strong. The Eighth Route Army has not attacked yet because they are afraid of our artillery fire."
Ren Jianyi nodded a little and analyzed the current situation with his mouth pursed.
"This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers should not be underestimated. They are highly combat-capable and well-equipped. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the strongest enemy I have ever faced."
"The biggest difficulty lies in people's hearts. Our troops' morale is low. I have a premonition of a bad outcome."
Takeshita Shunshin admired this lieutenant general, who was able to remain calm even in the encirclement. He was much better than the fanatical and reckless guys in the Kwantung Army.
"Has the General ever considered surrendering?"
Listening to Takeshita Shun's words, Hitomi Yoichi suddenly became serious and looked at the young noble colonel.
He snorted softly, "Could it be that Takeshita-kun is doubting my loyalty to the empire? I will never admit defeat even if it means my death."
In that case, you can go die.
Takeshita Shun suddenly drew out the command knife at the side, and with skillful movements, he slashed the knife across the opponent's neck.
He drew his sword and slashed in one go, worthy of being a noble who inherited the Bushido.
Hitomi Yoichi widened his eyes, stared at Takeshita Shun in disbelief, and pointed at him.
"General, rather than letting more people die, it is better to use your death and my infamy to exchange for more people's survival."
He reached out and touched the Japanese lieutenant general's eyes, placed him on a chair, and turned off the lights in the room.
In the name of Lieutenant General, he opened the city gate and surrendered to the Eighth Route Army.
The sudden order made the Japanese army panic and uneasy. Several captains questioned the order, but Takeshita Shun stood at the door of the command center. He was the highest-ranking officer at the moment.
With the rank of colonel, he issued orders on behalf of lieutenant general.
Most of the Japanese obeyed orders. It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. They formed a habit when their superiors gave orders.
A few Japanese soldiers were conflicted and could not believe that the lieutenant general would give the order to surrender, so they laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Eighth Route Army.
This is a shame, a shame that a soldier cannot bear.
Only by death can one demonstrate his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
The Japs drew their swords and committed suicide one after another, showing the extreme and madness in their minds vividly.
Some even cried for their parents, as if their entire family had died.
When Takeshita Shun saw this scene, he felt extremely conflicted. War brings pain to people, and he is willing to bear the infamy and the reputation of shame just to save more people.
After the city gates were opened, the Japanese obeyed the surrender order, handed in their weapons as required, and captured Wucheng without bloodshed.
The First Team took over all the weapons and equipment of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade, and Gao Qing was almost dying of excitement.
Even though such a great thing happened to him, the commander still had him in his heart and was still thinking about the old members of the New 1st Regiment.
More than 40 mountain and field artillery pieces, a complete logistics baggage mule and horse team, and more than 130 trucks.
The Japanese had stockpiled a large amount of ammunition and supplies in Wucheng, and the military warehouses were filled with artillery shells.
This is the most exciting and thrilling thing. Everyone has enough equipment, but what is lacking is logistical ammunition.
Imagine if the Japanese held on, with so much spare ammunition, how many siege personnel would be shot and killed? When assessing the losses of the siege, a conservative estimate is that 7,000 to 8,000 troops were lost.
Because the Second Independent Mixed Brigade retained 3,000 to 5,000 main forces, as well as several thousand puppet troops, with a complete artillery battalion and solid fortifications.
Attacking a city by force would inevitably cost a heavy price. Ding Wei, who had just established the rudiments of a military region, was really unwilling to suffer heavy losses in attacking the city.
Takeshita Shun did a great job. After killing the lieutenant general of the independent brigade, he forced the Japanese to surrender in his capacity as a colonel and captured the capital of Chahar without losing a single soldier.
The Japanese soldiers who surrendered their weapons were taken into custody and taken to a mine near Datong, where they were forced to do hard labor in the mines to pay for the crimes they had committed.
The most heinous crimes among the captives will be judged. The most vicious ones will be beheaded and skinned without mercy.
Zhong Zhicheng stopped Ding Wei and said, "Old Ding, the punishment for the prisoners is too severe. You will easily be criticized for doing this, and it does not conform to international standards for the treatment of prisoners."
Ding Wei raised his head and looked at Zhong Zhicheng coldly.
"Rules? You're talking to me about rules now. I respect the discipline of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise I would have asked Gao Qing to shoot all the prisoners."
"Where were the international norms when our soldiers and civilians surrendered? When they were killing my compatriots, did you talk about international preferential policies? Now it's the turn of the Japanese to surrender, and you're talking to me about norms."
"Duan Peng, follow my orders. Those who have committed serious crimes will be severely punished. Let them have a taste of being cut into pieces."
Seeing that Ding Wei's order had been given, Zhong Zhicheng cried out and slapped his thigh in anxiety.
Duan Peng was the most obedient one. He took a knife and went to loosen the Japanese's muscles.
Pull out the fanatics, use the dagger to cut off their limbs, and then cut the flesh one by one.
The screams of being slaughtered like pigs resounded in the prisoner camp. The Japanese were stabbed one after another, and they crawled around in pain.
Blood stained the ground red.
But each of the sword strikes was not enough to be fatal and avoided the vital parts of the body. The Japanese were waited for to die in pain, then dragged into the ravine and fed to the wolves.
There was silence in the prisoner-of-war camp. The surrendering Japanese soldiers lowered their heads and pretended to be innocent.
These bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong surrendered and were thrown into the mine to mine without any protection.
Treat the prisoners well, what a joke.
