Moreover, the situation in Santai Town was not much different from the information obtained by Political Commissar Luo Zong.
There are many fortifications,
At first glance, it was many times stronger than those chimney-like turrets.
Without the 160 heavy mortar,
Wang Hai could only give up.
He saw a firing point that was spitting out flames.
"Wang Ke!" Wang Hai shouted loudly.
Concentrate all artillery fire! Destroy that heavy machine gun fortress."
"Yes, sir! Guild Leader!
Soon, 10 160mm shells fell from the heavy machine gun fortress.
However, although the fortress was damaged,
The firing stopped for a few seconds.
However, they quickly fired again.
Wang Hai secretly cursed the Japanese for being so thick-skinned!
However, the cannon fire was still effective.
Wang Hai shouted again,"
"Aim at this fortress and continue firing!
Break it until it's broken."
"Yes, sir! Guild Leader!"
When the third round of shells fell,
The broken heavy machine gun fortress was finally destroyed.
Three 160mm shells flew into the fortress.
There was a huge explosion.
The explosion ignited the ammunition inside.
God knows how many bullets the Japanese had in this fortress.
The explosion of ammunition was earth-shattering.
The 8th Route Army soldiers who were attacking outside fell to the ground.
Not to mention the island army that was even closer.
The eardrums of many island soldiers were ruptured from the shock.
There was no more sound.
This fortress was also quite desolate.
There were more than 70 Island Army soldiers inside.
They were all torn to pieces.
There was not even a relatively complete corpse left.
The "missing" on the battlefield,
This was probably the case.
Such a commotion made even more island soldiers dumbfounded.
They didn't expect it.
The originally indestructible fortress was actually destroyed by the enemy.
This dealt a huge blow to the morale of the island army.
After all, the fortress could not be moved.
If he wanted to defend Santai Town,
These fortresses were their greatest reliance.
But now it had been shattered by thirty shells.
This meant that as long as the Eighth Route Army had enough artillery shells,
Sooner or later, this place would be razed to the ground.
After destroying the heavy machine gun fortress,
Wang Hai ordered the artillery battalion to attack another firing point.
This time, after firing twenty rounds,
The fortress was once again reduced to ruins.
More than 50 island guards were torn apart in the fortress.
When the island army's fortifications, which were seen as their greatest reliance, were shattered one by one,
The morale of the island army began to drop.
Some of the firing points even stopped shooting.
It seemed like he was trying to use this method to avoid the enemy's bombardment.
After destroying the heavy firepower of the island army,
The next step was not difficult.
Wang Hai ordered the tank to charge in front.
Those light firepower positions were powerless.
Infantry assisted from behind.
The Eighth Route Army advanced quickly.
They attacked Santai Town!
Just as Wang Hai changed his target again,
The island army's firing point actually had a white flag!
And this was not the end.
It didn't take long for the other firing points to hang white flags.
The Japanese had surrendered!
This made the officers and soldiers of the 66th Regiment feel incredulous.
The island army, who often fought to the last place, actually surrendered?
Could there be a trap? Everyone thought to themselves.
Wang Hai also thought so.
According to the battle situation just now,
There were about 300 casualties in the island army!
That was only slightly more than one-tenth of Santai Town's military strength.
How could he surrender?
However, Wang Hai did not want to miss this opportunity.
Perhaps the island army had really surrendered?
If it was true,
After the whole country knew about this,
What an exciting thing!
If the people of the East knew about this, the island army would also be afraid!
Wang Hai shouted,"
"If you want to surrender,
He immediately picked up his weapon and raised it above his head.
Line up and walk out slowly!
We'll give preferential treatment to prisoners of war.
I will ensure your safety."
After a while,
The island army really lined up and walked out.
With an indifferent expression on his face,
There was no sorrow, no shame.
It was as if he had done something unimportant.
After counting, there were a total of 2605 people who surrendered.
Apart from the dead and injured, most of them had probably come out.
Seeing so many island troops surrender,
The soldiers of the 66th Regiment were still in disbelief.
When did the Japanese become like this?
How could they still look like elite troops!
But Wang Hai noticed,
The highest commander of the surrendered island army was a major.
According to the military deployment here,
There should be a lieutenant and a few lieutenants.
What was going on?
Could it be that the bombardment just now had killed them?
Only then did the island army collapse?
Wang Hai did not ask immediately. Instead, he waved his hand and said,
"Enter Santai Town immediately.
Move some of the ammunition and rations back to the base area.
The other portion would be stored in another place and heavily guarded!”
Luo Zong was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He asked in puzzlement,
"Captain, should we send people to guard this place?
What should we do if a large number of island soldiers come for revenge?
I think it's better to bring all the supplies.
Return to Swallow Mountain?
Right now, guerrilla warfare was the only logical tactic!”
"No, I can't! We're not going back,
This is the land of the East,
When there was no other way,
We can only give up and fight guerrilla warfare.
But now…
We can also protect more people."
Taro Miura and Yuuki Kano were such cowards.
That was why Wang Hai had such courage.
In addition to the surrender of the island army,
Wang Hai knew that his opponent was not as strong as before.
Occupy and defend Santai Town.
It shouldn't be a problem.
Moreover, Santai Town had a large number of fortifications.
Unless the island army mobilized a large number of large-caliber heavy artillery,
Otherwise, these fortifications,
It would definitely cause heavy casualties to the attacking island army!
Luo Zong thought about it and agreed.
Now that they were much stronger,
The island army became much weaker.
He might not have been able to change his mind for a moment.
It seemed like it was time to reflect.
"Alright then! Since Guild Leader is confident, I agree.”
After saying this,
Luo Zong felt his blood begin to boil.
The war lasted for several years.
They had been chased by the island army.
He was extremely aggrieved.
Was he going to reclaim his territory now?
He had finally waited for the day when he could reclaim his land!
The other warriors were also very excited.
They didn't have to retreat today!
He wanted to take back a piece of land!
Even if it was just a town!
One had to know how much land they had lost in the past.
Now, it was time to recover!
The people of Santai Town saw that the Eighth Route Army was not as usual.
After attacking the stronghold, they took the things and retreated in a hurry.
Instead, he began to repair the fortifications.
From the looks of it, he was going to stay here permanently?
Many people began to point at the Eighth Route Army.
They seemed to be discussing,
This team was really bold.
Dare to stay?
The commoners naturally hoped that the team could stay here.
Everyone had experienced the brutality of the island army.
Many people had lost their loved ones because of the island army's killings.
How he wished that the Eastern troops could fight back!
When Wang Hai led his troops forward,
An old man stopped Wang Hai."
"Sir, are you not leaving?
Are you going to stay and protect us?
Wang Hai was slightly stunned.
Seeing the old man's eager gaze,
He smiled and said,"Yes, sir."
We're not leaving. This time, we're staying. We're not leaving!”
He received an affirmative answer.
The old man burst into tears. How many years had it been?
He was already in despair.
The island army here was so powerful.
No one dared to think that the eastern army would return.
But now, they really saw the eastern army!
Looking at the old man with tears all over his face,
Wang Hai knew that these commoners were suffering under the iron hooves.
Her heart ached.
As a soldier,
If we can't protect our people from the enemy,
No matter how many reasons there were,
It made Wang Hai feel ashamed.
Sorry! We're late, sir!"
"No, I can't! It's not too late. I can still see the Eastern Army returning!
He didn't think it was too late! As long as you can come back,
We'll be satisfied."
The old man quickly spread the news that the Eighth Route Army had returned and was going to stay.
Not long after, many people surged out.
They surrounded the team.
Whether it was the shopkeeper or the waiter who did business,
Blacksmith, Barber, Farmer
They were all standing on the streets and watching the heroic troops that drove away the island army.
Many of the members of the 66th Regiment were bandits.
Now that he saw so many people looking at him with reverence,
They all subconsciously straightened their chests.
With square steps,
It turned out that the feeling of being a hero
It was so wonderful!
From then on, the soldiers also understood the meaning of honor.
Make up your mind, no matter what,
From now on, we must keep the island army outside the town.
He couldn't disappoint the commoners.
The commoners looked at the equipment of this army.
They were also shocked.
In his impression, when did the eastern army have so many cannons?
However, it was also because of this that…
Only this unit could kill all the ferocious devils, right?
"Dumbo, isn't your brother a soldier in the Bald Army?
Look, what cannon is this? The barrel was too thick.
If this thing hit the Japanese, wouldn't they explode into ashes?”
Where did my brother's army get the cannons?
You don't even have enough machine gun bullets, and you still want cannons…"
"It seems that the 8th Route Army hasn't forgotten our Santai Town.
He even sent people to fight back!
He would no longer have to be bullied by the Japanese!”
"I want to go home and tell my grandfather at the ancestral hall.
The Japanese had been beaten out of Santai Town!”
…
Although the atmosphere was a little sad,
But overall, it was still enthusiastic.
No matter what,
Most of the people were thinking about what to do with the living.
Now that the island army had been beaten away,
Everyone felt hope.
This was the most important thing.
As the political commissar, Luo Zong,
He was also very experienced in dealing with this scene.
He took out a large amount of food and vegetables from the warehouse of the island army.
To the townspeople in need,
The town soon fell into a warm atmosphere…
While Luo Zong was pacifying the people of Santai Town,
Wang Hai also found the supreme commander of the island army stationed here.
Kimura Shi was the commander of the island army.
His subordinates were originally only responsible for commanding the 1100 island troops.
Wang Hai looked at the slightly nervous island army major.
"Young Master Kimura," he asked in confusion.
I'm the commander of the 66th Regiment, Wang Hai.
I have some questions for you,
I hope you can answer truthfully,
Otherwise, I'll send you to a prisoner of war camp!”
Kimura Shi was obviously not a fanatical island army officer.
Hearing these three words,
He immediately replied nervously,
"No! Commander Wang, do you have any questions?
As long as I know, I will answer truthfully.
Whatever you want me to do, I will do my best to cooperate.”
Wang Hai was slightly speechless.
No matter what, you're still a major,
Was he that unreserved?
At least say something about the "samurai spirit" or something like that.
I don't feel any sense of accomplishment…
But this was good too. It could save a lot of trouble.
Wang Hai asked,
"Who is the Supreme Commander here, and where is he?
How did you become the highest-ranking officer here?”
"Commander Wang, this place was originally controlled by Commander Takeuchi Ryo of the Taigu Garrison Team.
Unfortunately, the battle had just begun.
Takeuchi Daisuke fled with a few of his trusted aides.
Leaving me to die,
This way, I will be the highest-ranking officer here!”
When Kimura Shi said this,
He looked very angry.
She was very sad about her boss's abandonment.
But as a major,
He had no room to resist.
He could only stay.
Wang Hai was stunned again.
They thought that the senior officer of the island army had died in the bombardment.
It caused the morale of the army to collapse.
He didn't expect the situation to be even more bizarre.
The colonel actually ran away with his trusted aide?
"Tell me, what happened?”
"When your army fired, Takeuchi Ryo pretended to faint.
It took us a long time to wake it up,
This guy also said that the brigade commander had sent a telegram asking him to go back to the county town to report.
In fact, who doesn't know that your army has cut off the communication to the county town!”
"Hmm? The military rules of Japan are very strict, right?
How could Takeuchi Ryo dare to do this?
Wasn't he afraid of being court-martialed?”
"That's because Takeuchi Ryo is related!
For an officer like me to flee in defeat,
I'll definitely be shot ten times.
But for someone like Takeuchi Ryo,
You can still be reinstated."
Wang Hai was stunned.
Could he do this in the island army?
That Takeuchi Ryo was also of the highest quality!
He could actually think of so many reasons to escape from the battlefield…
Suddenly, Wang Hai realized something.
"I see you soldiers are not young anymore," he said.
What's going on?"
Kimura Shi smiled bitterly and said,"
"A general like Takeuchi Ryo,
How good of an army could he bring?
Besides, this was the garrison exploration team.
Commander Wang, you have to know,
The difference between a garrison brigade and a field brigade was huge!
However, it was mainly because of the escape of the supreme commander.
It was a devastating blow to morale.
Otherwise, even if it was the garrison,
There wouldn't be so many people surrendering.”
Wang Hai nodded in understanding.
After the captain escaped,
How could the people below not feel that staying here was almost suicide?
How could there be any morale?
"Very good. I am quite satisfied with your answer.
You don't have to go to the prison camp,
If there are other officers and soldiers who are unwilling to go to the prison camp,
You can also work for our Eighth Route Army.
To gain our forgiveness!
I think you understand what I mean, right?”
Kimura Shi was very satisfied.
Anyway, there's no need to go to a prison camp,
As an officer of the island army,
Kimura Shi did not know that the Eighth Route Army would not abuse prisoners of war.
He subconsciously thought that all the prisoner of war camps were like the island army.
It was worse than death inside.
So when he heard the word 'prisoner-of-war camp',
Kimura Shi told him everything he knew.
Even though these words would make him look down on…
"Regiment Commander Wang, there should be quite a number of our soldiers who are willing to cooperate with your army.
You will definitely be satisfied!" Kimura Shi promised.
Even though Wang Hai promised not to send him to the prisoner of war camp,
However, if there were too few soldiers willing to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army,
What should he do if he took his anger out on him?
Therefore, Kimura Shi made up his mind.
When we go back, we must threaten and bribe.
Let more soldiers of the island army do things for the 8th Route Army!
However, things were simpler than Kimura Shi thought.
Many soldiers heard that they were helping the Eighth Route Army.
You don't have to go to a prison camp,
They all enthusiastically signed up,
He was afraid that there would be no spots.
This made Kimura Ishida, who was still a little nervous, heave a sigh of relief.
This time, he could be considered to be at ease…
