Anti-Japanese War: Plunder the devils to create a super army

Chapter 352 The Japanese surrender

"Brigade Commander! The 387th Brigade has encircled Jinzhou from both the north and south directions!"

At this moment, the 386th Brigade headquarters was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

A young communicator came to the old brigade commander quickly with quick steps.

His face was solemn, his eyes revealing anxiety. Before he could even stand still, he began to report: "Report to the brigade commander, the latest battle report from the front!"

Upon hearing this, the old brigade commander frowned slightly, stared at the messenger with a sharp gaze, and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly! What's going on?"

The communicator took a deep breath, gathered himself, and then said, "According to front-line reconnaissance, the enemy is currently in a state of disarray, and their fortifications have been severely damaged by our artillery fire.

This is the perfect time for us to launch a general offensive!"

After hearing this, the old brigade commander gave the order without hesitation: "Okay! Pass on my order, the main attack force will launch the attack immediately!

We must strike with all our might and not give the enemy any chance to breathe!"

"Yes!" The communicator saluted with a standard military salute, turned around and ran away to convey the order.

You know, in the thrilling night attack on Jinzhou Port not long ago, the 386th Brigade and the 387th Brigade cooperated closely and won a beautiful victory.

This battle not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese troops in Jinzhou City, but also caused them heavy losses.

Almost all heavy weapons and a large number of troops were consumed in that fierce battle.

The remaining remnants of the defeated army are no match for the high-spirited and well-equipped 386th and 387th Brigades.

Following the old brigade commander's order, our position was suddenly filled with the roar of artillery and flames shooting into the sky.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Deafening explosions sounded one after another continuously.

The dense and fierce artillery fire hit the Japanese defenders on the city wall like a torrential rain, instantly tearing huge holes in their carefully constructed defense line.

Faced with such a fierce attack, the Japanese defenders on the city wall were terrified and in chaos.

They were unable to organize any effective resistance and could only watch their comrades fall in a pool of blood one by one.

"Brigade Commander! It's bad! The Eighth Route Army's firepower is too strong, we can't withstand it at all!"

A Japanese officer, his face covered in dust and in a dishevel, stumbled into the command room and reported the battle situation to the brigade commander in a trembling voice.

However, the brigade commander was also extremely anxious and helpless at this time.

As subordinates continued to come and report the same bad news, the entire command room was filled with an atmosphere of despair and fear.

"idiot……"

At this time, the Japanese brigade commander was thinking about something in his mind, his eyes fixed on the city outside that was completely covered by artillery.

"The commander has already run away..."

At this time, the Japanese brigade commander suddenly said this.

When these words were spoken, all the officers present were stunned.

"Captain of the Brigade..."

The subordinates looked confused and a little shocked, looking at the Japanese brigade commander at a loss.

Could it be that the brigade commander wants to...

"The superiors have already fled in the face of this situation. What reason do we have to continue fighting here?!"

The Japanese brigade commander was already furious at this time, and was slamming the table to vent his anger.

He glanced at the officers in front of him, and seeing their shocked expressions, he felt a little hesitant, not knowing whether what he was thinking was right.

But this is the only best option right now.

These are all my subordinates, and I absolutely cannot watch them die.

"I've decided. We'll surrender to the Eighth Route Army."

Finally, he said those words.

"You are betraying His Majesty the Emperor by doing this!"

But no one expected that some of these officers would oppose this choice.

Everyone present was stunned, their eyes switching back and forth between the Japanese brigade commander and the officer.

I didn’t know how to choose for a moment.

Everyone has a difficult decision to make: whether to follow their boss or choose their own "loyalty".

"Inoue!"

At this time, the officer standing by immediately shouted at the angry Japanese officer.

It was obvious that no one wanted him to be so rude in front of his boss.

"Don't argue with me! We are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! Not to cowards like him!"

The officer pointed at the Japanese brigade commander's nose and scolded him, his face full of disdain.

Only the Japanese brigade commander had a hint of calmness on his face as he stared at the "alien" in front of him.

"Inoue! You're being disrespectful to your superiors!"

I saw people around me looking at me strangely, and those people accused me of being unreasonable from time to time.

The officer could no longer bear it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Humph...you guys are so foolish..."

"Crack!"

The officer immediately pulled out his service pistol, loaded it in a flash, and pointed it at his temple.

"His Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

"boom!"

This series of operations is completed almost in one second.

A gunshot echoed throughout the conference room.

The blood instantly spurted to the other side and scattered all over the ground.

Everyone was shocked by the scene, staring blankly at the body lying on the ground, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Ugh……"

The Japanese brigade commander sighed and slowly closed his eyes.

"Carry it out."

Several soldiers carried the body out, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

However, this sudden incident did not affect the decision of the Japanese brigade commander.

……

"Brigade Commander, look there!"

At this moment, the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the periphery suddenly saw a white flag raised above the city wall of Jinzhou Port.

"Is this the Japanese flag or a white flag? I can't even tell..."

Then the old brigade commander raised the binoculars in his hand and took a closer look, and found that the Japanese army had torn off a corner from their national flag and used it as a white flag of surrender.

This action made several people laugh.

"These damned little Japs...are really good at fooling people!"

As time passed, the intense gunfire gradually became sparse and eventually disappeared completely into the air.

Not long after, the heavy and sturdy gate of Jinzhou City slowly opened, as if a long-sleeping giant beast opened its mouth.

I saw teams of Japanese soldiers wearing yellow uniforms and holding white flags lined up in neat rows and walked out of the city gate in a gesture of surrender.

Everyone present who witnessed this scene felt confused and shocked at first, as if they could not believe what was happening before their eyes.

However, this state of confusion only lasted for a moment, and people quickly came to their senses and realized that this arduous battle had finally ushered in the dawn of victory.

Seeing this, the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the trenches jumped out of their shelters without hesitation and rushed towards the surrendering Japanese soldiers like a tiger descending from a mountain.

They acted swiftly and decisively, quickly bringing these once arrogant enemies under control and escorting them to the designated location.

At the same time, the battle-hardened old brigade commander walked with firm and powerful steps to the center of the Japanese army column.

His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, fixed on the Japanese brigade commander standing before him. The two stood face to face, staring at each other for a long moment. The whole scene was extremely solemn, as if even the air had frozen.

Suddenly, the Japanese brigade commander stretched out his hands with slight trembling, and slowly took off the sword from his waist that symbolized power and glory.

His eyes revealed a hint of despair and helplessness, but more of it was a frank admission of failure.

Then, he respectfully handed the sword in his hand to the old brigade commander opposite.

The old brigade commander took the sword of great significance without hesitation, his face filled with the pride and honor of a victor.

At this moment, all the hard work and sacrifices were rewarded, and justice finally triumphed over evil.

At this point, Jinzhou City, which was once occupied by the Japanese army, finally returned to the embrace of the people, and the Eighth Route Army successfully achieved the great feat of liberating Jinzhou.

......

On the battlefield far outside the city of Peking, a young communicator was running anxiously.

He walked through the smoke-filled battlefield and came to the command tent.

Before he could even catch his breath, he couldn't wait to shout loudly: "Brigade Commander! Victory news! The devils in Jinzhou have surrendered!"

Wang Lin, who was studying the battle map in the tent, suddenly raised his head after hearing the news, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

After a long period of fierce bombardment on the city of Peking, the Japanese troops in the city had long been overwhelmed. Now the successful recovery of Jinzhou City has undoubtedly brought them great encouragement and confidence.

Judging from the situation, it won’t be long before it will follow in Jinzhou’s footsteps.

"Excellent! This is a glorious achievement for our Eighth Route Army! We captured a major town without even a single soldier!"

Wang Lin looked at the thousand-year-old city in front of him and was unwilling to continue bombing it.

So he immediately ordered the artillery unit to stop shelling.

"Order the troops to enter the city and completely eliminate the remaining Japanese troops inside!"

"Yes!"

As Wang Lin's command, which was full of majesty and decisiveness, was issued, the Eighth Route Army troops, who had been on high alert and ready to fight, rushed towards the city gate like a surging torrent with the force of thunder.

In an instant, shouts and cries of killing resounded through the sky, deafening.

There was originally a group of Japanese troops stationed on the city wall who were fighting stubbornly, but they were almost powerless to fight back against the unstoppable charge of the Eighth Route Army.

These Japanese troops were so panicked that they didn't even have time to organize an effective defense. They were like lambs to the slaughter and were quickly wiped out by the Eighth Route Army soldiers who swarmed in.

In just a moment, the Japanese soldiers on the city wall were littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river.

In the previous fierce bombing of Japanese troops, most of the Japanese soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties.

Those enemies who managed to survive had already lost their morale and had no desire to fight.

Therefore, when the special operations brigade launched an attack, its advance speed was extremely rapid, sweeping in like a storm.

Not long after, the special operations brigade successfully broke through the outer city's defense line, advancing all the way and heading straight for the inner city.

At this moment, an atmosphere of despair and panic permeated the command center in the inner city.

Only the Japanese commander and his few confidants are still struggling here, trying to continue commanding this doomed battle.

However, facing the powerful offensive of the Eighth Route Army, the once invincible Japanese commander was now helpless because he no longer had any soldiers available to turn the tide of the battle.

At this critical moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to the Japanese commander's mind, and an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

"Inside that basement... is the exact location of the poison gas bomb!" This discovery instantly gave him a glimmer of hope, as if he had grabbed the last straw.

The Japanese seemed to have found a life-saving straw and immediately sent people to the basement of the teahouse to search for the location of the poison gas bombs buried throughout the city of Peiping.

He wanted to detonate these to die together with Wang Lin and the others!

But now the gunshots are getting closer and closer to the headquarters...
