May 26, 1938, Nanjing city, frontline positions
When the Japanese army woke up this morning, they saw new movements in the Eighty-Eighth Group Army position opposite.
They found that the Eighty-eighth Army, which was supposed to be having breakfast at this time, was already well prepared. This made the little devils nervous. Everyone was guessing whether the Eighty-eighth Army did not care about the life and death of the Chinese people and would launch an attack on them. Attacked.
But after a while, the little devils in Nanjing knew what the Eighty-eighth Army was going to do.
They saw only one of their own soldiers being escorted to the front. Each prisoner of war only wore trousers on the lower body and no clothing on the upper body.
After these prisoners of war were escorted out by the soldiers of the Eighty-eighth Army, they were made to kneel in front of the position.
"Ba~Gah~these shameless Chinese people, if they can, fight us with real swords and guns!"
Countless little devils are scolding the 88th Army like this, but little do they know that if it weren't for the Chinese people in front of them, they would have been taken care of by the 88th Army long ago.
But no matter how they scolded them, the people in the Eighty-Eighth Group Army couldn't understand them anyway.
"Little devils across the way, listen! You can see clearly. The people kneeling in front of you now are all our prisoners of war. Among them are the 17th Division, the 18th Division, and the 106th Division waiting for you. People. Originally, in accordance with the International Geneva Convention, we should treat them as prisoners of war, but your army did things that were detrimental to the honor of the military. It is really a shame for soldiers to use the Chinese people as a shield.
But we, Commander, have a large number. As long as you immediately release the Chinese people in your hands, your compatriots and comrades-in-arms will be spared the pain of flesh and blood. If you are stubborn and insist on using me, the Chinese people, as a shield. We will no longer grant humane treatment to all prisoners of war! "
A translator from the Eighty-Eighth Group Army held a large loudspeaker in front of the position and kept shouting to the Japanese troops on the opposite side. The content of the shout was nothing more than that.
At the end, the translator even said: If you do not release the Chinese people, after we capture Nanjing, we will cut off your heads so that you will not be able to enter the Yasukuni Shrine after your death.
Although the little Japs on the front line turned red with anger and even wanted to kill the Chinese people in front, they still did not make any move under the restraint of the officers.
"Those officers know that the reason why the Eighty-eighth Group Army is not attacking now is because if you kill all the Chinese people in front of you, it will be in line with the Eighty-eighth Group Army's wishes, and then they will be free to attack.
?¡
"Commander, what are you talking about with this little devil? Just cut these prisoners of war into pieces. Let me see if the little devil in front of you will let the people go!"
At this time, on the position of the 132nd Division Regiment, a staff officer looked at Meng Yandong and complained.
"What do you know! We have to kill these more than 50,000 little devils within seven days, and we don't have to use any means. Otherwise, you will not be able to finish them all with just these 50,000 little devils!"
Meng Yandong rolled his eyes at him angrily.
?? If it weren¡¯t for the impetuous Japs jumping over the wall and arresting too many Chinese people this time, and the fact that the whole country was paying attention to this battle, how could they be forced to stop the attack.
Although it is said that war makes civilians go away, which war really made civilians go away?
Every time a war breaks out, many civilians will suffer, but it never happens!
But this time, many reporters gathered here, and the Eighty-eighth Army could not let go and attack. Without these reporters, they would have shouted and beaten.
Situations like this are happening on the entire front line, but it seems that the effect is not good at the moment.
There is no position where the little devils can free the Chinese people.
According to the plan, if the Japs don¡¯t release the Chinese people, they should chop up these prisoners of war in front of the battlefield. Although they don¡¯t have to meet Lingchi¡¯s standards, they just need to cut off the flesh bit by bit.
However, the generals on the front line had other ideas. They reported to their superiors and asked if they could not use Lingchi on these prisoners of war.
Rather, these prisoners of war were used as shields, allowing these prisoners of war to line up in front of the troops, and the troops followed them to attack.
"It depends on whether the little devils let go of the Chinese people. If they don't let them go, the first people they will kill are their comrades. If they let them go, they can take the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack.
This idea was quickly put on Zhou Weiguo¡¯s desk. Zhou Weiguo just thought about it.??It took less than ten seconds to agree.
¡°Subsequently, all the Japanese prisoners of war were escorted and lined up in front, tied with ropes, and then walked towards the Japanese position. Behind them was a soldier of the Eighty-eighth Army.
????????????????
"Your Excellency, Commander! Something bad has happened! The Eighty-Eighth Group Army has gathered all the prisoners of war and launched an attack on us using the prisoners of war as a shield!"
Yan Junliu was drinking tea in his headquarters when a staff officer hurriedly walked in with a telegram. The news above made Yan Junliu suddenly stand up.
"How could they! How could they!"
Yan Junliu couldn't help but said viciously after taking the telegram and reading it.
However, after hesitating for a few seconds, he immediately said: "Order the frontline troops to release all Chinese people immediately! At the same time, order the troops to prepare for battle! Tell them that we will hold on for another week, and our reinforcements will arrive in a week!" "
"Ha~yi~"
Yan Junliu knew that the moment the Eighty-eighth Army used prisoners of war as a shield, his side would release the Chinese people no matter what.
Otherwise, both sides will adopt abnormal fighting methods, which can also be said to be harmful to themselves.
If it had been five days ago, he would have ordered the troops to shoot those prisoners of war without hesitation, no matter how great the impact on the troops would be later, even if he would be transferred to the reserve after the war. But you can still live, right?
But things are different now. The first batch of reinforcements from three divisions have landed in Shanghai, and his reinforcements can be said to be just around the corner. Under such circumstances, he naturally does not want to transfer to the reserve force.
He still has more than 50,000 people in his hands. If he persists for a week, he thinks there will be no problem.
Since there is no problem, let¡¯s fight!
The little devils released the Chinese people, and the Eighty-eighth Army also took all the prisoners of war to the back, and then the Eighty-eighth Army began to attack again.
This time, the little devil became smarter and instead of driving those Chinese people to the rear, he just put them aside.
They thought that if they were placed aside, the Eighty-eighth Army would still not dare to use artillery and air support. After all, these were very powerful and there was a 90% chance of hurting their own people.
But what the little devil didn¡¯t expect was that the Eighty-Eighth Group Army was using air support and artillery support again.
How do they know that what the Eighty-Eighth Group Army wants now is a name. As long as you don't put the people on the front line, it has nothing to do with me.
Zhou Weiguo knew how to make the trade-off. For the sake of tens of thousands of people, he would let his more than 100,000 soldiers fall into siege, and let dozens of millions of people in Nanjing fall into the hands of the enemy again. Then he is not worthy of being a military commander! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
