Chapter 605: Is it worth it to lose your life for a few names?
The headquarters of the 11th Army was getting closer and closer to the southern battlefield.
Nanzō Yunko learned about the news from the southern battlefield more quickly.
Just now, she received a message in the office.
On the Guangxi battlefield, the Yamaguchi Regiment encountered a crazy attack from the Independent Regiment. Even the escaping troops were caught up and beheaded without mercy.
A brigade that had been sent to reinforce them after learning they were under attack also encountered a fierce attack from the enemy during the reinforcement process, and even rushed forward without regard for casualties.
"How could this happen?" Nanzō Yunko was a little confused.
The independent regiment was capable of fighting, but it was definitely not the type of force that didn't know how to measure its strength. On the contrary, once they succeeded in a surprise attack, they would definitely run away after taking advantage, rather than chasing the enemy. They could also directly engage in combat with reinforcements.
"Miss, I don't know the situation yet. I'm already trying to find out the news, and I believe there will be news soon."
"The Yamaguchi Regiment must have done something that Zhou Weiguo couldn't tolerate. The reason he couldn't tolerate it was either the use of poison gas bombs or..."
hiss……
Nanzō Yunko gasped and squinted her eyes as she looked at Nakamura. "Check to see if Yamaguchi was massacring the people over there."
If so...
Nanzō Yunko took a deep breath and turned to go to Okamura Yasuji's room on the second floor.
Because he didn't know much about the situation at the moment, General Okamura Yasuji did not issue a new combat order, but instead let the troops rest.
Seeing Nanzō Yunko come in with a pale face, he put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Something big has happened." Nanzō Yunko came up to him and said, "The 104th Division must have gotten into trouble."
"What's wrong?" Okamura Neiji felt that something was wrong. Anything that could make Nanzō Yūko so nervous must not be a trivial matter.
"I'm not sure yet, but if my guess is correct, the Yamaguchi Unit should have been slaughtering civilians in Yue Town."
"Baka." Okamura Neiji's hands trembled.
Massacre of civilians. He stared at Nanzō Yunko with wide eyes; "Your news..."
"They pursued the Yamaguchi Regiment with all their might, even encountering a supporting battalion en route, yet they refused to let them go. General, you've fought against the Independent Regiment before, and you don't know their personalities."
They take advantage of any benefits without being greedy and just leave. But this time, they didn't care about the benefits at all and wanted to kill the Yamaguchi Regiment.
"It seems something has indeed happened." He thought for a moment and said to Yamadajima beside him, "Let our troops not cross the border. All troops, restrain your soldiers and do not massacre the civilians."
If this matter is as Nanzō Yunko said, then Zhou Weiguo will launch a new round of revenge.
This kind of retaliation will be continuous and contagious.
Yamadajima naturally understood what Okamura Neiji meant by issuing this order.
Don't let the people below get into trouble, otherwise Zhou Weiguo will never let you go.
It is really not worth it to risk your life for a few insignificant people.
With an idea in mind, Nakamura was able to gather information quickly.
In less than two hours, he delivered the latest news to Nanzō Yunko.
Nanzō Yunko was not in her own office, but in the military office.
"General, Miss, we have found out."
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?" asked Nanzō Yunko.
Nakamura laid the message on the ground. "It is true that the Yamaguchi Regiment carried out a massacre in Yue Town, even humiliating many women. The bodies were not even cleared. Zhou Weiguo ordered that the bodies be buried at the foot of a mountain outside the town. In addition..."
"What else?" Okamura Neiji asked as he lit a cigarette.
Nakamura was shocked when he recalled the contents of the report.
He glanced at the message and said, "Zhou Weiguo chopped off the heads of all the soldiers of the Yamaguchi Regiment and piled them in front of the graves of the civilians. He also had the bodies hung on tree branches."
"Kyokan." Okamura Neiji immediately thought of a word.
This ancient method of intimidating the enemy was too cruel. Therefore, no matter how the dynasties here changed, even if too many people were killed, they would never use this method.
But... I didn't expect Zhou Weiguo...
"Tokyo is going to be in chaos." Okamura Neiji took a breath and said to the two people around him.
The battle was won, but the joy of victory did not appear on anyone's face.
Even Ono, who had always seized a large amount of equipment, remained silent.
"Sister, something is wrong." Chao Xiang Xiuling, who came out with Xiao Ya to welcome the returning troops, said to Xiao Ya after seeing that the soldiers were silent.
Xiao Ya also noticed it, and she turned to Zhang Guifang beside her and said, "Tell everyone not to welcome us."
After she finished speaking, she gestured to Jinxiu beside her, "Go over and find out what's going on."
Jinxiu didn't look for anyone else and went straight to find Zhao Shoutian.
She pulled Zhao Shoutian aside and asked, "What happened? Did you lose?"
Zhao Shoutian handed Jinxiu a pair of earrings he had bought from Ono and said, "No, it went very smoothly. We almost wiped out the Yamaguchi Regiment and the reinforcement battalion."
"That's strange. Several ladies felt something was wrong and asked me to find out what was going on. This..."
"We won the battle, but the Japanese killed the people of Yuezhen. Seven or eight hundred people. It took the First and Third Battalions two hours to bury them. You don't know, the First Battalion buried the piles of corpses while cursing the Japanese. The Japanese stripped the women naked. This..."
No wonder.
Jinxiu understood the reason and brushed the dust off Zhao Shoutian's shoulders. "Go with the captain. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
It turned out to be the case.
Xiao Ya and Chao Xiang Xiuling understood the situation clearly. They looked at each other, then came to Zhou Weiguo and accompanied him into the regiment headquarters.
"Sister, don't you go and persuade them?" Chao Xiang Xiuling, who was standing at the door, saw the head of the family standing in the courtyard without saying a word, and asked Xiao Ya beside her.
Xiao Ya looked at Awen standing in the courtyard and shook her head. "There's nothing to persuade him. Instead of trying to persuade him, we should think about how to take revenge on the Japanese this time."
revenge?
Yes, it had been a long time since we heard about the Japanese army killing innocent people. This time, as soon as they encountered them, the Japanese army killed all the people in the town who had not yet had time to evacuate.
According to Zhao Shoutian, the place with the largest number of people was actually the headquarters of the Yamaguchi Regiment. There were more than ten female corpses inside. They were not very old, and the youngest one was only less than thirteen years old.
Such wanton killing of innocent people was witnessed by his family member. How could he not seek revenge?
But the question is, how to take revenge?
Or……
