Chapter 204 I am invincible, kill 9
After all the mud and stones fell, a group of Japanese rush out on horseback, with a total of about forty. After the group of Japanese cavalry rushed out, they did not entangle with other troops. They ran wildly towards the northwest.
Li Qinglin's second battalion attacked from the northeast of Liuzhuang. There were artillery positions of the National Army in the south, and there must be heavy troops there. The northwest of Liuzhuang was quiet. The Japanese thought there were only a few guard troops there, so they chose the northwest as the direction of breaking through.
The first battalion in the northwest direction had long built solid fortifications. The reason why the first battalion had not been moved was a tactic arranged like this before the 145th Regiment. The 145th Regiment decided from the beginning that it must wipe out the group of Japanese devils. The first battalion in the northwest direction did not participate in the attack was to give the Japanese an illusion that there were not many troops here, and they were tempted to break out here when they could not hold on.
This group of Japanese cavalry was very fast. When they really rushed to the open space in the northwest, they were greeted by mortar shells and machine gun bullets. In the face of the heavy firepower of a battalion, the forty cavalry were shot off the horse like fallen leaves. The first battalion wiped out the entire group of Japanese in less than five minutes.
The Japanese cavalry who forced their way through the siege were eliminated, and the battle in Liuzhuang was not completely over. Some Japanese wounded soldiers were still hiding inside the cave and firing outside, but refused to surrender.
The first battalion that destroyed the cavalry also sent a company to Liuzhuang. They, together with the fifth company of the second battalion and the sixth company, cleaned up the remaining enemies in the village.
In addition to this big house, there are also Japanese troops in Liuzhuang. All other places are occupied by the national army. Now, using cannons may accidentally hurt their own people. Li Qinglin and others began to use the method of breaking the walls of the Sixth Company to eliminate the remaining enemies.
The remaining Japanese soldiers in the house were either beaten to death or captured alive. The battle was around 8 o'clock in the evening, and the gunfire was all stopped and the battle in Liuzhuang was over.
Everyone else went to have a meal and rest, but Li Qinglin got even busier. Because he could speak Japanese, he was appointed by the regiment to interrogate Japanese prisoners.
The Japanese invaders were an extremely brutal and barbaric army. They not only were they inhumane to the Chinese, but they were also ruthless to their soldiers. On the Chinese battlefield, if Japanese officers and soldiers were killed in battle, their spiritual positions would be worshipped in the so-called "Yasukuni Shrine" and their families would be treated preferentially. If they were captured by Chinese troops on the battlefield, they would be considered a shame to the empire. Even if the soldier was released, his family would be looked down upon, he would be sentenced by the Japanese army, and even executed.
There were more than 50 prisoners in this group, including more than 30 wounded soldiers. On the one hand, they were poisoned by the so-called "Bushido Spirit", and on the other hand, they were worried that the incident of their captives would be transmitted back to the country. Therefore, most of them had strong resistance to the national army, and the interrogation and screening work was extremely unsuccessful.
In response to the psychology of Japanese prisoners, Li Qinglin took a different approach.
The Japanese prisoners were not all deadly members, and some were afraid of death. In response to these people, Li Qinglin first chatted with them, learned about their family and their own situation, and first eliminated their fear. When they calmed down, Li Qinglin started with the main reason for their participation in the war, loyalty to the Emperor.
Li Qinglin told them that the war has come to this point. You are not captured because you are afraid of death or because you are unfaithful to the Emperor. You are captured because you are too many troops after resisting with all your might. As a samurai, you are already brave enough. As the emperor's people, you have done your best, so you do not need to feel guilty towards the Emperor.
Li Qinglin finally promised them that as long as the confrontation was not adopted, the Kuomintang army would not disclose their names to the outside world, nor would they publish their photos in the newspaper.
However, Li Qinglin finally emphasized that if someone does not cooperate with the Kuomintang army, there will be reporters to take photos, and the photo will be published in the newspaper. The final result is that the personal reputation is completely destroyed and the family in Japan is shamed.
Li Qinglin's previous words were actually to find reasons for these fanatics, so that they themselves thought they had fulfilled their loyalty to the Emperor to eliminate their psychological burden; the latter words were actually a threat, and Li Qinglin clearly told these people that if you do not cooperate, you and your family would be dead!
Li Qinglin's interrogation strategy is indeed effective. Except for a few real loyalists, most of the Japanese army adopted a cooperative attitude.
The Japanese army captured too many prisoners and the persuasion work was extremely difficult. Although other Japanese-speaking people were also interrogating, Li Qinglin spent the next three days on this aspect.
Li Qinglin usually reads the captured Japanese original infantry exercises, but there is basically no oral conversation, so Li Qinglin was a little unfamiliar with oral language at the beginning. However, as the number of interrogators increased and the degree of interrogation became deeper and deeper, Li Qinglin's spoken language was picked up again, and his Japanese conversation with the prisoners became more and more proficient.
Learning and using a linguistic element requires an environment. A pure Japanese language environment is extremely helpful for improving Li Qinglin's oral skills. In conversations with Japanese troops from different regions, Li Qinglin also learned a lot of Japanese local slang.
Three days later, the extremely tired Li Qinglin returned to the 5th Company. After a brief rest, Li Qinglin learned about the losses of personnel in this battle.
The fifth company suffered a total of 26 casualties in this battle, and only three of them were slightly injured, and these three people could continue to fight.
Those who are injured and inconvenient to march like Xiao Liuzi must be sent to the rear hospital to recuperate, but Xiao Liuzi refused to go. He said that if the troops left and did not know what troops they would be assigned to after recovering from the injury, he would rather stay in the fifth company to recuperate than leave.
As long as this kind of penetration injury is not infected, it will be cured after cleaning the wound and applying medicine. Li Qinglin agreed to Xiao Liuzi stay and arranged for two soldiers to lay a stretcher and carry it on him.
The other troops of the 25th Division were not idle. During this period, they joined the Second Division of Zhengdong Kingdom to entrench in Yanglou and Dige, and the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment launched a fierce attack. The 85th Army and the 75th Army confronted the hostile forces on the Daliangbi and the north and south lines of Chahe Town.
The besieged Japanese army fought for trapped beasts. They relied on the villages to resist tenaciously and occasionally took the opportunity to counterattack. A battalion commander of the 146th Regiment of the 25th Division was killed and his attack was once set aside. The attacks of the 85th and 75th Army also made no progress, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
The 145th Regiment had just experienced a battle and was arranged to stay as a reserve team to rest.
The injured Xiao Liuzi should have had the opportunity to take a good rest, but he was busier than before when he was lying on the stretcher. The reason for this busyness is really ridiculous.
