When he met Shimono Ichiho, Inaba Shiro asked: "Shimono-san, have you found Xu Rui?"
Compared with capturing Feicheng and annihilating the Dameishan Independent Regiment, Inaba Shiro was obviously more concerned about Xu Rui, because Xu Rui's hands were really bloody for the Japanese army, and all the generals who fell into his hands were There are already six of them, and if you include the colonel, there are more than ten. It is simply a heap of blood debt.
No wonder even the emperor calls him the mortal enemy of the empire!
But now, this empire's sworn enemy has finally fallen into his hands!
Therefore, Inaba Shiro is very concerned about whether Xu Rui can be found. Even if it is just a mutilated corpse, Xu Rui must be found. If Xu Rui or Xu Rui's body cannot be found, then the outcome of the Feicheng battle will be disastrous. Perfectly, the military exploits of the Kumamoto Division and his Inaba Shiro will be eclipsed by this.
Fortunately, the situation that worried Inaba Shiro the most did not occur.
Xu Rui neither disappeared nor broke out, and was even still alive.
Shimono Yihuo pointed to the ruins in front and said: "Division commander, don't worry, Xu Rui and the last dozen or so severely wounded members of the Dameishan Independent Regiment have been surrounded by the imperial army at the medical station. The medical station is now surrounded by the imperial army." As thick as an iron bucket, Xu Rui would never be able to escape even if he put on his wings and turned into a birdman."
Inaba Shiro asked again: "Are you sure Xu Rui is inside?"
"Hai." Shimo Yihuo paused and said proudly, "It's definitely Xu Rui."
But Inaba Shiro would not believe it easily. He frowned and asked, "Shimono-san, why are you so sure?"
Shimono Kazuhiro did not answer Inaba Shiro directly. He turned around and waved, and two Japanese soldiers came over escorting a seriously injured member of the independent regiment. When the seriously injured person came to the front, Shimono Kazuhiro said in blunt Chinese: "Here." Your regimental commander shouted that if he lays down his arms and surrenders, the imperial army will spare his life."
Inaba Shiro originally thought that the seriously wounded man had surrendered, so his words were not worthy of belief.
However, what surprised Inaba Shiro was that the seriously injured man just glanced at Shimono contemptuously, and then shouted loudly to the ruins in front: "Captain, Ergouzi, I will take the first step, and I will still be yours in the next life." Soldiers!"
After shouting, the seriously wounded man struggled to break free from the control of the two Japanese soldiers and rushed downfield like a hungry tiger.
Shimo remained calm, took out the tortoise box, pointed it at Er Gouzi's eyebrows, and calmly pulled the trigger. A gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole the size of a chopstick appeared on Er Gouzi's eyebrows, and a blood hole appeared on the back of his head. There was a bloody hole as big as a fist, and a large amount of blood spurted out in an instant, and then he fell straight back.
After killing Er Gouzi, Shimono Yihuo put away his pistol again and said to Inaba Shiro: "Division Commander, you just saw that this seriously wounded man does not lack the courage to face death. He is bidding farewell to his commander. , if Xu Rui was not inside, or had died, he probably wouldn’t have had to do anything extra.”
"Yoshi." Inaba Shiro finally believed it.
At that moment, Inaba Shiro said again: "Shimono-san, try if you can get Xu Rui to surrender."
Although Inaba Shiro knew that the possibility of Xu Rui surrendering was very small, he still wanted to try because the political benefits of persuading Xu Rui to surrender were too great. If Xu Rui could really be persuaded to surrender to the Empire of Japan, it would have great consequences for the entire country of China. The blow to the morale of the resistance elements will be unprecedented. Xu Rui's surrender is likely to trigger a wave of surrenders!
It is even possible to finally force the National Government to surrender!
If this is the case, it would be a great honor for him, Shiro Inaba, and the Kumamoto Division to achieve the goal that so many high-ranking officials at the Army Headquarters and Headquarters failed to achieve at the strategic level, even at such a high price. , Based on this alone, Inaba Shiro will be enough to join the ranks of marshals of the Army in the future.
"Hai." Holden Shimono then turned to the ruins and shouted loudly, "People inside, listen, you have been surrounded by the Imperial Army from all sides. Resistance can only lead to death. The only way is to put down your weapons and fight against the Imperial Japanese Army." Only by surrendering can you survive, I will give you five minutes to think about it, and now the timer will start."
Five minutes passed quickly, but there was no movement in the ruins.
Inaba Shiro even began to wonder, did the people inside commit suicide
But soon, it turned out that Inaba Shiro's worries were unnecessary.
Shimono Ichiho sent an infantry team to clear up the ruins, but before they got close to the ruins, they were shot at. Two superior soldiers were shot immediately. The remaining infantry quickly fell to the ground, then knocked out two grenades and threw them into the ground. In the ruins, Inaba Shiro did not stop him. Since Xu Rui refused to surrender, he could only blow it up.
The smoke dispersed, and the remaining dozen infantrymen stood up again and continued to approach.
The next moment, gunshots rang out again in the ruins. These tenacious Chinese are like cockroaches in the cracks of the wall. They cannot be killed no matter what. Whenever you think the other party is dead, they will immediately follow. Use grenades or bullets to tell you that they are still alive and still resisting.
Gunshots rang out, and two more Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.
"Baga." Shimoye was furious and immediately issued a kill order.
After receiving a signal from Shimono Ichiho, the remaining dozen Japanese soldiers took out grenades at the same time. After a two-second delay, they threw the grenades into the ruins at the same time. In the next moment, the entire ruins were almost completely overturned by a huge explosion. , in the billowing smoke, human body parts can be faintly seen flying.
After the explosion, a dozen Japanese soldiers advanced again.
However, this time, there were no gunshots in the ruins.
Two minutes later, when several senior generals including Inaba Shiro, Ushijima Mitsuru, and Shimono Ikho walked into the ruins, the smoke inside had already dissipated. At first glance, they were all mutilated corpses. Among these corpses, The Japanese soldiers found a corpse wearing a colonel's uniform. Although his face was covered in blood, the five tubes were still intact.
"Bring some water." As soon as he went down to the field, he stretched out his hand, and a guard handed him the kettle.
Ichiho Shimono opened the kettle, poured the water in the kettle onto the corpse's face, then squatted down and used white gloves to carefully wipe off the blood on the corpse's face. After a moment, a face with great oriental male charm was clearly revealed. In front of Inaba Shiro, Ushijima Mitsuru and others.
Inaba Shiro turned around and asked: "Where are the photos?"
The adjutant immediately came forward and handed Xu Rui's photo to Inaba Shiro.
Inaba Shiro took the photo, squatted down and placed the photo in front of the corpse. Comparing the two, he found that the facial features on the corpse were very similar to Xu Rui in the photo. Although the expression was slightly different, considering that Xu Rui had already It is a corpse, so it is basically certain that this is Xu Rui.
Inaba Shiro returned the photo to the adjutant behind him, clapped his hands and said: "Immediately call the front army headquarters and tell them that Xu Rui has been killed in battle and his body has been found. In addition, the Dameishan Independent Regiment has two members under the commander Xu Rui." More than a thousand people died in the battle, no one escaped, and no one surrendered. This is an opponent worthy of respect."
"Hai." The adjutant gave Inaba Shiro a heavy meal, turned around and hurried away.
Inaba Shiro asked Shimono Kazuhiro again: "By the way, Shimono-san, where is that radio station?"
Shimono Yihuo said: "The division commander is talking about the Dameishan Radio Station. It has become a trophy of the imperial army."
"Yo Xi." Inaba Shiro nodded happily and added, "Immediately transfer a few technicians from the Engineer Regiment and ask them to set up the radio station. I will use the Dameishan Radio Station to broadcast to the Chinese and capture Feicheng. , Xu Rui was killed in battle, and the good news of the entire Dameishan Independent Regiment being destroyed was told to them."
(Dividing line)
Jiang Nan arranged the tasks assigned by the director, including the dance venue, lights, band, and courtesans to be invited. Then he returned to the dormitory, turned on the radio, and began to sit and wait. Although he knew that there would be no more good news, But Jiang Nan couldn't help but sit in front of the radio, waiting for a miracle to come.
The frequency band of the radio has been locked long ago, which is the frequency of Dameishan Radio Station.
Unfortunately, just like when I opened it in the morning, there was only rustling background blind sound.
Time passed little by little, and it was noon in the blink of an eye. Just when Jiangnan thought that there would be no more miracles, the rustling background blind sound suddenly disappeared, and then a burst of background music sounded. In an instant, all the hair on Jiangnan's body was gone. It stood up but did not disappear. Dameishan Radio Station did not disappear!
At this moment, Jiangnan was just as excited as the countless patriotic people in front of the radio. When the blind tone of the radio disappeared and the background music sounded, there were people in Shanghai, Wuhan, Chongqing, and even Nanjing. Countless patriotic people were high-fiving each other, cheering because they had finally waited for the Dameishan Broadcasting Station to broadcast again.
The Dameishan Radio Station is still broadcasting, which means that the Dameishan Independent Regiment is still persisting in the war of resistance, which means that Feicheng has not been lost yet!
But the next moment, the mood of Jiang Nan and all the cheering crowd immediately fell to the bottom of the Nine Nether Valley.
Because what came out of the radio was not that familiar voice, not even a Chinese voice, but an extremely harsh Japanese voice. Most Chinese people could not understand what the Japanese was saying, but Jiang Nan understands Japanese, so she can understand it clearly.
"Hello Chinese people, I am Shiro Inaba, the division commander of the Sixth Division of the Imperial Japanese Army. I am very happy to communicate with you through the broadcast of Dameishan Radio Station. Here I want to tell you a piece of regrettable news. , our Sixth Division captured Feicheng two hours ago."
"Also, the invincible iron army in your mind, the Dameishan Independent Regiment, has been completely wiped out by the imperial army. Of the more than 2,000 officers and soldiers in the regiment, no one survived. The regiment leader Xu Rui was also killed on the spot by the imperial army. , I have asked the accompanying war reporters to take photos of Xu Rui’s body, and tomorrow, you can see the photo of Xu Rui’s body in the newspaper.”
Hearing this, Jiang Nan burst into tears. (To be continued.)
