Walking on the streets of Juye Castle, Chutaro Shimizu felt a little emotional. A few days ago, this was the territory of the Imperial Japanese Army, and he once led people to show off here.
But I never thought that in just a few days, the situation would take a turn for the worse. The Chinese army not only captured this small town in western Shandong, but also annihilated all the defenders. More than a thousand people, including the former garrison commander Major Akiyama, were killed.
And this battle also gave Chutaro Shimizu more new thoughts about this war!
Previously, Chutaro Shimizu, like almost all Japanese officers, believed that the Empire of Japan had an 80% chance of winning this battle. Even if it might take a little longer in the end, at worst it would still be like the war in 1904. After considerable profits were withdrawn from China.
But now, his confidence has been hit! The reason is that he found that the Chinese army is stronger than they imagined in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will. Although there are not many troops like Li Guoyao's troops on the entire Chinese battlefield, there are also many.
Looking at the fighting situation of the Imperial Japanese Army during this period, it can be seen that the resistance of the Z/Na people is becoming more and more tenacious, which has exceeded the expectations of the base camp.
More importantly, the shortcomings of the lack of resources in the Empire of Japan are becoming more and more exposed. In the past, relying on the family foundation accumulated by Emperor Meiji, the Imperial Army of Japan could still maintain it, but as the war is far from over, it is far away. , the imperial army's resource problems were fully exposed, and it was almost unsustainable.
¡°And the domestic economic situation is getting worse and worse. I really don¡¯t know how long the empire can hold on!
On the other hand, in China, almost all the people are tightening their belts to support the corrupt government. If the weapons and equipment are not good, they will take human lives. From the beginning of this war to the present, the casualties of China/that people are almost ten times that of the Imperial Japanese Army. , but even so, these people did not give in.
What can be imagined is that it will be difficult to conquer them by force now and in the future. For the first time, Chutaro Shimizu felt despair about this war!
But he is just a small army colonel, with less than one-tenth of the troops under his command as a normal commander, and he really doesn¡¯t have much say.
Therefore, he can only think about it. The only thing he can do is to follow the orders of the Legion Headquarters and fight this battle well!
However, the further he walked, the more Chutaro Shimizu felt that something was wrong. The road was fine and he must be going to the warehouse, but there seemed to be some problems on the road.
The reason is that there is no one on the road at this time, there is only one fleet of theirs on the whole street, and even the shops on both sides of the street are closed.
Chutaro Shimizu has been to Juye and knows the rules of this small county. The city gates are closed after dark, but normal activities in the city continue until 7:30 to 8 o'clock. It's only after 6 o'clock and there is no one on the streets. , this is obviously not normal.
At this time, Chutaro Shimizu asked the Japanese soldier leading the way: "Brother, why is there no one on the street today? Is martial law in advance or something?"
¡°I have to say that Chutaro Shimizu speaks Chinese really damn well. If it weren¡¯t for his flaws in other aspects, it would be hard for most people to tell the difference in his accent.
Wang Er immediately turned around and said, "That's not true. It's just that we just captured Juye City in the past few days. Because we were worried about the Japanese bombers coming to bomb, we asked the people to go home as soon as it got dark, so there were only a few people on this street. Not a soul in sight.¡±
Li Wu on the side also said: "Even if we don't let the people go back, I'm afraid not many people will wander around the streets in this freezing cold weather!"
When Chutaro Shimizu thought about it, this was indeed true. After all, it was already winter. After the sun set, the temperature would quickly drop to below zero. If it was not really necessary, few people would be willing to wander around the streets.
As he was talking, a street checkpoint suddenly appeared in front of him!
This checkpoint is made up of sandbags and roadblocks. Since there is no sentry box, it is obvious at first glance that it was temporarily set up. I don¡¯t know if it is used to check pedestrians on the street at night.
After seeing the checkpoint, Wang Er and Li Wu said to Chutaro Shimizu: "Brothers, please wait a moment. We brothers will go over and negotiate with the checkpoint man!"
"That's troublesome brother!" Chutaro Shimizu said immediately.
Wang Er and Li Wu didn¡¯t say anything else, and walked towards the checkpoint ahead with their guns on their backs!
The distance of tens of meters was quickly reached. However, just when the two were about to reach the checkpoint, they saw that they directly changed the gun from back to hand, then turned around directly and pulled the trigger towards Chutaro Shimizu.
Ch¨±taro Shimizu is also a vigilant person.The moment the man turned around and raised his gun, he rolled on the spot and dodged easily.
However, the Japanese soldiers following Chutaro Shimizu were unlucky and were shot directly by the bullets of Wang Er and Li Wu!
At the same time, the two machine gun positions next to the checkpoint also held meetings at the same time, and the sound of machine guns "clicking" resounded throughout Juye County!
The little Japs who were unaware were immediately knocked off their feet after being beaten, and the unlucky ones were sent directly to see their Amaterasu.
Chutaro Shimizu immediately realized that they had been exposed. Although he didn¡¯t know where the trick was, the most important thing now was not to consider this, but to fight back immediately!
"Baga, our actions have been exposed, counterattack immediately, annihilate all the troops in front, and capture the warehouse area!"
However, before Shimizu Chutaro and others could fight back, they saw the doors and windows of the shops on both sides of the street being opened directly, and the black barrels of guns were pointed at them, and then they made a crisp "click" sound.
At the same time, the Chinese snipers on the roofs on both sides also opened fire, with constant "bang bang" sounds!
" Ch¨±taro Shimizu still doesn't understand that they have fallen into a carefully laid trap!
Seeing that the team members around him were shot to death one by one, and in less than five minutes, only more than 30 of the more than 100 people were left, Shimizu Chutaro was heartbroken.
¡°Sir, we are covering you, please break out immediately!¡± Adjutant Kikujiro shouted loudly while hiding behind an ox cart.
Chutaro Shimizu shook his head and said, "Kikujiro, I can't leave anymore!"
"Nani?"
"Look at the back!"
Following the direction of Chutaro Shimizu's finger, Kikujiro saw an imperial tank appeared behind the street. Judging from the style, it should be a Type 95 light tank.
But both Chutaro Shimizu and Kikujiro knew that they were not assisted by chariot troops in this operation. The chariots that appeared at this time were definitely not to reinforce them, but to support that person.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and Kikujiro know, the Rangers are lightly armed every time they take action and will not carry anti-tank equipment. Once they encounter a tank, it will be the most troublesome thing.
"Sir, what should we do?" Kikujiro asked immediately.
"Surrender!" Chutaro Shimizu sighed.
"Nani? How can we surrender?" Kikujiro roared angrily.
Chutaro Shimizu said solemnly: "Those who are unwilling to surrender can fight to the end with the support/that person, but as your commander, it is already my dereliction of duty to bring you into a dangerous situation. If I know that there is no hope of breaking out, I will continue to lead you." If you go to death, you are sinners.¡±
Then Chutaro Shimizu continued: "You don't need to worry about the country. I am your commander. I gave the order to surrender. If those people in the country are blamed, I will bear the responsibility. I only hope that you can live, and only by living can there be hope. !¡±
As soon as the words were spoken, several Japanese soldiers who were unwilling to surrender rushed out with the guns, but were instantly beaten into pieces by intensive firepower.
At this time, there were only more than twenty soldiers left around Shimizu Chutaro, and these people were unwilling to die.
Looking at the quail-like soldiers around him, Chutaro Shimizu sighed, then took off the white shirt underneath, then hung it on a 38-piece cover and stood it up!
