War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 505: Weakness is the original sin! (Thanks to 'Huaijinwuyu9787' for the 500 reward!)

"No need to persuade them to surrender!"

"They don't understand Chinese, so it's useless to say anything. Listen carefully, there's no need to persuade them to surrender!!!"

When the 45th Regiment was being slaughtered at the foot of Tuanchengkou by the 688th Regiment, Chen Jinxiu issued this order to his troops. The existence of this order was due to Xu Chaoyang's combat experience.

Xu Chaoyang had tried to persuade the Japanese army to surrender, but the result was very bad. Not only did most of the Japanese not understand what you were saying, they would also immediately launch a counterattack in the direction where Chinese was spoken. This caused dozens of heavy casualties in the 217th Regiment. Since then, Xu Chaoyang rarely persuaded the Japanese to surrender.

In real history, in the Pingxingguan Victory, the commander of the 115th Division fought to the end and persuaded the Japanese invaders to surrender in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. The situation they encountered was similar to that of Xu Chaoyang. This is the second most important factor in why no prisoners were captured in the Pingxingguan Victory in history. The first one, of course, was that the Japanese invaders fought desperately after being high.

Xu Chaoyang would naturally not let history repeat itself, and he notified the troops in advance, telling them to only let go of those "who have abandoned their guns and given up resistance." Those who still had guns in their hands would never be persuaded to surrender. After all, it was not realistic to ask the soldiers to learn Japanese in a short period of time to persuade them to surrender. Deep down, he didn't want these guys to lay down their guns in exchange for a chance to survive.

Under such circumstances, when the 688th Regiment was harvesting the 45th Regiment, a one-sided situation occurred, and history was reversed...

"kill!!!!"

The soldier holding the light machine gun opened fire at the Japanese soldiers who were raising their bayonets for hand-to-hand combat. After the bullets burst into blood mist in the crowd, he watched these Japanese soldiers fall to the ground in various postures!

massacre……

Finally, these two words no longer appear in a shocking manner, but have been transformed into a form that is not so unacceptable, putting ourselves in an advantageous position.

"No hand-to-hand combat is allowed. Shoot, shoot!!!"

boom!
The Japanese began to throw grenades. After they had used up all their bullets, they threw the few remaining grenades desperately. The 688th Regiment, at the cost of less than 200 lives, continued to fire at the remaining Japanese invaders. Many of them no longer sought cover to hide, but stood on the battlefield, openly pulling the bolts of their guns, and walked forward quickly as if they were being executed, shooting as they walked...

"No one is allowed to be soft-hearted!"

"If anyone is soft-hearted, just look back at 217. They are still using their brothers' lives to block bullets for us. If they end the battle one second later, one more person from 217 will die. Think about where the bullets in your hands come from!"

Chen Jinxiu was afraid that his men were not used to such scenes and would show softness, resulting in more deaths of brothers from 217, so he shouted loudly under the light of the grenade explosion on the battlefield.

The soldiers under the 688th Regiment did indeed show signs of difficulty...

It’s not that they were unwilling to fight, but the fact that they were shooting at the Japanese who had no bullets was a little hard for these newly recruited soldiers from their hometown to accept.

Chen Jinxiu hated the Japanese even more when she saw this scene. When you kill people, you make us feel bad. When you do evil, you still make us feel bad. Even when it was time for you to be killed, you didn't let go of torturing us... How despicable!

You are using your own lives to force Chen Jinxiu to be a bad guy and force me not to be a fucking human being!

You have turned these honest, lower-class farmers into demons!
Chen Jinxiu raised his pistol and gritted his teeth as he fired. For a soldier, killing people is not difficult, but killing someone who has no bullets left and can only shout in Japanese that you can't understand: "Fight them!" From time to time, groups of people rush towards you with bayonets in hand to fight you to the death is very difficult. You have to endure the inner torment constantly, especially when your comrades are standing by to block bullets for you.

"Quick fight, quick decision!!!" Chen Jinxiu was a little sick of killing. He knew that this was a war and he should not be merciful. He was sick of killing. He could smell the pungent smell of blood mixed with the smell of soil after the heavy rain, and he could see the water droplets splashing in the puddle after the corpse fell to the ground...

"Captain!"

Especially when a soldier looked at him with pleading eyes, as if begging him: "Don't kill them!" At that moment, he could only stare and yell in response: "Stop talking nonsense, kill them!!!" The torment was worse than being shot.

At least getting shot feels better.

When the only eight or nine hundred men left in the 45th Regiment fell to the ground after being bombarded, there was no cheer of victory from the direction of the battlefield where the 688th Regiment was located. Everyone was in silence, either looking at each other or bowing their heads in thought. Only the sound of heavy rain falling from the sky proved that the world was still functioning normally.

"Support 217..."

Chen Jinxiu said this in a low voice, but was afraid that her subordinates couldn't hear her clearly, so she shouted loudly: "Urgent support 217!!"

He was the first to turn around and leave the battlefield. When the rest of the 688th Regiment withdrew from the battle and collectively ran towards the direction of the 217th, every soldier looked as if they had countless questions but didn't know who to ask...

We didn't start this war, so why are we the ones who suffer the most?
It is you devils who are occupying our land and harming our people, so why should we bear this psychological pressure?

We are just farming in our own country. What did we do wrong to be tortured like this?

But no one answered these questions.

However, there was a devilish voice that gave the cruelest answer in everyone's heart: "Because you are weak...hahahahaha!"

Being weak... is not wrong...

It's original sin!
At that moment, these poorly educated farmers, some of whom had even learned to read in military schools, began to gradually raise their heads and quicken their pace in the heavy rain.

Because they are weak, they deserve all this;

Because you are not cruel enough, you will be bullied!

Because we were not strong, even though we were the victorious country in World War I, we still did not receive any respect;

Because you don’t have a strong country to back you up, you can’t even make a strong voice in your own land!
Who doesn’t want to intimidate the many representatives of the United Nations with just a glance and make them fear our looks?
Who doesn't want to suppress the scoundrels with the phrase "our country has shown the greatest tolerance" in diplomatic speeches? Who doesn't want to hear that when a coalition of 17, 18, or even 19 countries approaches a neighboring country, they will respond without fear: "We have fought this war before, we are not afraid of it!"

How comfortable would that be?
Perhaps only then will the people of this country be qualified to discuss the question of "Since the country has become strong, are the people rich?"
But now?

You can only carry on on the battlefield with the mental pressure on the verge of life and death... grit your teeth... and hold on!
