Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 934

Chapter 934 This is the glory that belongs to the whole army!

Of course, not all Japanese soldiers who wanted to surrender were kneeling.

For example, Tang Dao gave the highest commander of the surrendered Japanese army the right to stand.

It's just that since the top commander of the Japanese army, Gotou Koshiminami, committed suicide out of fear of crime, this Japanese army has no officers above the rank of sergeant, only a few second lieutenants.

Therefore, Lieutenant Kuroki Komatsu held the sword of Colonel Koshiminami Goto, the captain of the 108th Infantry Regiment, who committed suicide out of fear of crime, and asked to surrender.

It is certainly a good thing that the Japanese surrendered like this, but this great good thing created a big problem for the four regiment-level commanders on the scene.

Since the top commander of the Chinese military, Brigadier Cheng, was not present due to business issues, it was a question who would serve as the surrender officer of the Chinese military.

The fighting between the Chinese and Japanese armies has lasted for more than a year, and it has been eight months long in terms of time. The Japanese army that has always had the upper hand rarely surrenders, and even if there are, they are scattered soldiers on local battlefields.

Such a collective surrender of nearly 200 Japanese troops was the first time since the war began. It was an absolute honor to be able to surrender on behalf of the entire army.

In other words, this is no longer a personal glory, but belongs to the commander's unit.

Especially for the three members of the 921 Division, letting them give up the glory that belongs to the 921 Division is simply more uncomfortable than killing them.

It's just that Tang Tuanzuo was asked to come forward during the negotiation, only to have to fight after surrendering. This kind of unkindness can't be justified anywhere.

The three colonel commanders, whose average age was no more than 30, were somewhat silent for a while, while the officers and soldiers were filled with endless joy.

"The commander is still discussing the next battle plan with the division commander. We can't reach the front line for a while. We can't go to the surrender ceremony together. I think we should let Brother Tang do it for us!" The leader of the 771st Regiment finally broke the news. silence.

Although this person may seem a little honest in his daily life, in fact, wood also has great wisdom.

First of all, he knew that Tang Dao's 'local tycoon' who came up and sent guns and artillery was very valued by the brigade chief, and that he personally led the elite troops to block the retreat of the Japanese army with the respect of a regiment commander in this battle, which was a first-class achievement even in terms of military merit. It is not an exaggeration to let him enjoy the glory of first-class merit.

Furthermore, Tang Dao was not alone among the various tribes participating in this battle.

Wang Xiaoqiang has a bad temper and doesn't obey anyone, but he is very loyal to Tang Dao. Although the young leader of the 769th regiment is young and energetic, he miraculously approves of Tang Dao. Both of his friends are like this. He If we don't take the initiative, the Four Elements Group will still say that their 683rd brigade is petty.

“It's rare for Old Xu to be generous today!” Wang Xiaoqiang looked at his old comrades, with a knowing smile on his face, but his mouth was unforgiving. "Brother, hurry up, lest this old man regret it later."

“Okay, I agree with Commander Xu's proposal to let Commander Tang accept the surrender of the Japanese invaders as the chief representative of the ministries participating in the war!” The young leader of the 769th Regiment also nodded.

"Brothers, I know how you feel. Thank you for your recognition of me and all the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Regiment. But I personally think that the glory of victory in this battle belongs to all the officers and soldiers participating in this battle. None of them deserves to enjoy this." Second honor!" Tang Dao shook his head and made another suggestion. "We might as well do this."

Tang Dao knew that of course he could not refuse this honor, and he and the Four Elements Group fully deserved it.

But he can't have it all to himself!

In this battle, the 769th Regiment sacrificed no less than 500 people, which was almost the strength of an infantry battalion. They paid an unimaginable price.

Although the 771st and 772nd Regiments did not sacrifice as much, they were the leading force on the entire battlefield. Without them as a deterrent on both wings, the Japanese army had already devoted all its strength to break through the frontal defense line of the 769th Regiment. It would still wait until the fourth line. The regiment marched urgently to complete the final encirclement?

More importantly, this battle was not completed under the command of Tang Dao. It was due to the genius idea and decision-making of the 683 Journey Brigade Commander that the battle was finally successful.

It can be said that this honor does not belong to the person here, nor to that infantry regiment, but to all the Chinese soldiers present.

They are all qualified to participate in this surrender ceremony.

The queue is composed of one unit from the 921st Division's Third Regiment and the Fourth Regiment that are deployed nearby. They will watch the ceremony! As a representative of the entire army, I watched the entire surrender process.

In this surrender ceremony, the commanders of both sides will not hand over the command sword of the losing side in front of the two armies as usual. Instead, the Japanese representatives will walk through the queue where the Chinese military representatives stand.

These representatives of outstanding Chinese soldiers will look down at their battle results with their proud military postures, and will cheer for victory with their commanders at the first opportunity!

'The Japanese devils, in front of me, are just like dogs! ' This is the reward Tang Dao gives to these outstanding Chinese soldiers!

That kind of spiritual pleasure will far exceed the so-called material rewards!

After hearing Tang Dao's suggestion, the three captains' eyes lit up. Although this surrender ceremony was a bit cumbersome, it emphasized the various ministries participating in the war, rather than just highlighting a certain person. It was perfect, and it also It gave major incentives to the officers and soldiers of various ministries.

“Accurate!” Brigadier Cheng, who was busy at the rear brigade headquarters, received the report from the front line. He smiled and waved in agreement.

The order was immediately passed on, and each regiment was assigned 100 quotas, which were then assigned to nearby infantry companies. Although they were told that there would be photos taken, in the words of Tang Dao Tang Tuanzuo: "This time, it is not a welcome ceremony. On behalf of the entire army, we came to see how the little devils surrendered to me. We are not playing tricks, we can do whatever we want. The only requirement is to hold my chest high and let the little devils Look, what do Chinese soldiers mean?”

Although the battle at Beiganling is over, it does not mean the end of the entire campaign. The troops guarding Lucheng are more than 2,500 meters away. The Four Lines Regiment even sent elite cavalry and special forces to rush towards Lucheng.

It means that there is no telling when another war will start, and there will not be much time left for the Chinese army to hold a grand surrender ceremony.

Tantai Mingyue and her precious camera, who were still responsible for treating the wounded behind the mountain, were picked up by the cavalry on horseback. Each department of the Fourth Regiment also selected personnel to participate in the surrender ceremony.

The standard for participants is almost unprecedentedly consistent, that is, the brave officers and soldiers of each company fought in this battle.

Because of the limited number of places, each infantry company and platoon commander voluntarily gave up this opportunity and left the glory to their brothers.

For example, the officers and soldiers of the Si Xing Regiment who participated in this short surrender ceremony were basically from the Guard Company and the Seventh Company on the most intense battlefield that blocked the Japanese retreat route in the previous World War. However, there were no officers and they were all composed of soldiers.

Most of them are wounded soldiers, either with their arms hung up by bandages or their heads wrapped in bandages. There are even soldiers with injured lower limbs being carried by stretcher soldiers. Although their bodies are stained with blood, their faces are even more tired from the long march. They looked a little pale with the heart-wrenching pain, but everyone's eyes were full of energy.

Because these ordinary soldiers all know that witnessing the Japanese commander handing over the command sword in front of them will be something they can brag about for the rest of their lives.

But obviously, this is not a patent of the Four Lines Regiment. The three infantry regiments of the 921 Division are almost identical, and wounded soldiers account for a considerable part.

Although they do not belong to the same sequence, looking at the actions of the Four Lines Regiment, the 921 Division from top to bottom has a great sense of identification with this unit that fights side by side with them. This sense of identification even goes beyond When Tang Dao presented a large number of weapons to the 683 Brigade on behalf of the Four Elements Regiment.

Very strange psychology, but it is real.

The reason is simply that the so-called officers and soldiers are one body, nothing more than that! Such troops are extremely reliable comrades-in-arms.

Perhaps even Tang Dao himself didn't know that it was from this moment that he and the Four Lines Group were truly accepted by this army.

Of course, this was not done deliberately by Tang Dao, nor did he do it deliberately. The army he was in in his previous life was just a continuation of the army in front of him, and since he became the top officer of the Four Elements Regiment, he has already Some genes of that future army were subtly implanted into the Four Lines Regiment. Your comrade-in-arms is the one who deserves to be trusted with your back on the battlefield! With such a concept as support, those officers who are already company commanders and platoon commanders, will they chill the hearts of their brothers for the sake of mere glory?

This sunny afternoon in spring was definitely an afternoon of extreme inner suffering for Second Lieutenant Kuroki Komatsu, who had been anxiously waiting for a long time until he could go and hand over his command knife to the Chinese commander.

And this hundreds of meters of road that usually only took a few minutes to walk was definitely the longest hundreds of meters he had walked in his life. According to what he said in his post-war memoirs, it was even longer than that. When he returned to the battlefield, he kept thinking about the long thoughts of the devil in his heart.

Because, he saw a Chinese army that was completely different from what he knew.

Before that, even if he had admitted his own defeat, he attributed the reasons to the poor command of that idiot Koshiminami Goto, as well as the fact that China's concentration of troops far exceeded his own and his unfamiliarity with the geographical environment.

Deep in his heart, he still firmly believed that with equal strength, the imperial infantry could not be defeated.

But after he walked through the surrender road lined with Chinese soldiers, some kind of solidity deep in his heart was shattered bit by bit.

Chinese soldiers lined up starting from the kneeling Japanese soldiers.

Four hundred Chinese soldiers stood upright, like green pines forming two rows, with a three-meter-wide aisle in the middle!

As soldiers, based on their appearance, age composition, and equipment, they are undoubtedly not qualified to form an elite army.

Some of them are wearing blue military uniforms, some are wearing gray military uniforms, and some military uniforms have no time to dye. Some of them are teenagers no more than 16 years old, some young people in their 20s, and some middle-aged people over 40 years old.

And the guns in their hands include Type 38 rifles, some made in the Czech Republic, some made in Hanyang, some long guns and short guns, almost all kinds of kinds. This kind of messy equipment system is completely impossible to exist in the Japanese army sequence. Any one of them has Soldiers with sufficient military experience know that this will cause the logistics supply system to collapse, and it is a joke to want to fight for a long time.

But it happened that such an army defeated the Imperial Army. How did they do it? Kuroki Komatsu was in a trance at that moment.

But as he continued to move forward, he seemed to gradually begin to find the answer!

Yes, they are old and young. Not to mention that their weapons and equipment cannot be unified, and even their military uniforms cannot be consistent in color. They have no courage that a strong army should have.

But, they really do.

The courage is not in the military uniforms, in their open-toed straw sandals, or in the various firearms.

In their faces, in their bright eyes, in their high heads.

The faces of these soldiers who had just finished the battle were still covered in gunpowder smoke and dust. Their bodies were still stained with blood. The steel guns in their hands seemed to be steaming. Many of them were even sitting on stretchers.

They should have been lying on the hospital bed, struggling with the pain, but they are still here, proudly watching their subordinates defeated, watching them humble themselves and survive in front of them.

This is the privilege that Chinese commanders give to their subordinates, because they are strong enough and because they deserve it all!

Such Chinese soldiers certainly deserve to be respected!

Especially when he saw the disdainful looks they looked at himself, the defeated general, Kuroki Komatsu shuddered even more!

If all Chinese soldiers are like this, can the empire really win this war no matter how much more troops it invests? He kept asking himself this in his mind.

But the answer really disappointed this Japanese Army lieutenant. The empire could invest two million or five million with all its national strength, but the Chinese, whose total population is more than six times that of the empire, might be able to invest ten million or twenty million.

Such a group of people, even if they have all fire sticks in their hands, can the imperial army kill them all?

Tang Dao stood at the end of the queue, waiting for Kuroki Kosatsu, who was walking heavily as his psychology was constantly being destroyed.

"Your Majesty, please accept the surrender of our troops!" Kuroki Komatsu humbly bent down and raised the command sword that was still stained with blood on the waist of a certain colonel above his head.

"I accept your surrender on behalf of our department. If you fully cooperate, our department will give you normal prisoner of war treatment!" Tang Dao reached out and took the command knife from Kuroki Komatsu's hand, giving a formulaic answer.

For him, he is actually very welcome to see this group of Japanese soldiers uncooperative at any time. Then he has reason to kill all these guys. It is really a waste of food for these nearly 200 people, even if he has already thought about it. Okay, it's just two meals of porridge every morning and evening, the kind that can clearly illuminate people's figures.

But Tang Dao also knew that he didn't want these prisoners of war, but the 921st Division did. The "Anti-War Alliance" that already had a framework was waiting for these guys to enrich it!

Even though the 80th Army adopts a gentle policy, it is not a powerful weapon to deal with these surrendered troops, but it is taught all kinds of principles every day and is absolutely gentle. The simple and crude brainwashing indoctrination by Japanese high-level officials is really nothing in front of those big bosses.

Tang Dao knew that in the future, the "Japanese Anti-War Alliance" formed by the Eighty Group Army would continue to grow and grow. Before the victory of the Great Patriotic War, it would become an organization with 5 branches and 20 branches with more than 1,000 members.

That doesn't mean they just wave the flag and shout. Most of them not only participate in the production and construction of the base area, but also directly devote themselves to the battle and become the famous 'Japanese Doha'!

That's still a small number of Japanese prisoners. If at the current rate, one hundred and eighty people were captured in the first battle, Tang Dao even dared to believe that it would be no problem to capture ten thousand "Japanese Tubal" in this time and space.

After Tang Dao took the offered command knife, Kuroki Komatsu still maintained the bowing posture, but stepped back three meters, in a full surrender posture!

This is the Japanese. They pay attention to details in everything they do, even if it is surrender!

Seeing that Tang Dao had taken over the Japanese surrender command knife, the chests of the Chinese soldiers standing in two rows could not help but rise and fall, and their breathing could not help but become heavier.

That's because they are waiting, waiting for the Tang Dao to represent all Chinese soldiers and hold up this trophy that symbolizes victory.

They can't wait to taste this fruit of victory that belongs to them!

At this moment, Erya, who was staying far away, hurried over and reported to the three regiment leaders behind Tang Dao. Then he whispered into Tang Dao's ear, who was listening attentively.

The Chinese soldiers present couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts. Could it be that something unexpected happened?

Still hunched over and not daring to raise his head, Kuroki Kosong, who had retreated three meters, was a little far away from Tang Dao. He couldn't quite hear the whispers of Tang Dao's signal soldiers. He only heard the keywords "Lucheng" and "Japanese invaders".

As a former Japanese soldier, this man couldn't help but feel happy. Could it be that the division commander has regrouped the army to fight here? But what followed was that the joy disappeared, and a great fear surged up.

If the Imperial Army gathers a large army to attack, the most tragic thing may not be the Chinese here, but their surrendered troops.

If the Imperial Army wins, the defeated Chinese will definitely take action against their surrendered troops. Even if they take 10,000 steps back and say that they have kept their promise, Kuroki Komatsu will not be so naive as to think that the division commander will forgive them for falling into these traps. A guy who was forced to surrender in desperate circumstances.

Especially, he was not the only one who knew the inside story of a certain colonel's "death-defying" plan. At least dozens of people were involved, and hundreds of people were watching.

To put it bluntly, if the Chinese win, he can live, even if it is very humble, but if his own people win, he will die.

Then let the Chinese win! Second Lieutenant Kuroki Komatsu, who had already 'fallen', walked further and further towards the place of darkness, and deep in his heart was filled with such hope!

This time, Amaterasu must have heard the thoughts of this no longer pious citizen, and satisfied him.

At an angle invisible to the bent Kuroki Komatsu, the faces of the three regiment commanders of the 921 Division were filled with uncontrollable smiles.

That smile was about to flow out of their faces, even Old Xu of the 771st Regiment, who was known as the "rock" of the 683rd Brigade.

Because, this battle can be declared over completely!

The news of victory can also be announced to the entire army at the moment when the Japanese army's colonel-level saber is raised!
