Within just two days, all the Japanese strongholds outside Xinzhou City were eliminated one by one, and then the entire city was surrounded.

Xinzhou was not originally a very important stronghold, and the Japanese army placed all its focus on TaiY and Datong (Tong).

The 22nd Division that came to reinforce from the south was besieged here, but the food reserves here could only sustain the city’s military and civilians for 20 days.

Following an order from the commander of the 2nd Division, Yamada, Japanese soldiers began to collect food from house to house, and the food rations of nearly 7 residents in the city were all forcibly collected.

The Japanese army not only robbed the people of their rations, but also the puppet army's stored food. It turned out that these puppet soldiers could not even support their entire families with their meager military pay.

He used the power and resources in his hands to do some business in Xinzhou City, most of which was grain business.

Now all the food they had was snatched away by the Japanese. They were left with nothing but hunger, and the Japanese had already begun to guard against the Imperial Army.

They were not required to guard the main city defenses. They were only responsible for guarding the people every day and preventing them from running around.

After three days of siege, the people in the city had begun to run out of food, but the Japanese didn't care about their lives and didn't let them leave the city.

Some civilians once tried to escape by climbing over the city wall at night, but they were discovered by the Japanese and shot on the spot.

The Japanese army now began to confiscate the puppet army's guns and ammunition. They did not need these puppet soldiers to help defend the city, but they needed the weapons in their hands.

After confiscating all the weapons of the puppet army, the Japs prepared to start an organized massacre of civilians and puppet troops.

These Japanese soldiers knew that they probably would not survive, so they decided to take the Chinese people with them to be buried with them.

That very night, more than 10,000 civilians and some puppet soldiers who surrendered their weapons were massacred.

A commander of the 22nd Division felt that this behavior was problematic, so he reported the situation to the Expeditionary Force Headquarters and the First Army Headquarters.

Okamura Neiji was shocked when he received the news. The Japanese devils nowadays no longer dared to massacre civilians at will.

Anyone with a brain knows that Japan can't hold out for much longer, but it's still continuing the massacre, and is massacring its own people while being besieged by the Chinese army.

This will only give the Chinese people an advantage, and future revenge will be even more bloody, especially when they are facing the 78th Army.

The events of the 114th Division are still fresh in people's minds. Although the Locust Army has always denied the Gudu Massacre, these senior officers all know what happened.

The Chinese have announced the establishment of a post-war accountability court, and all Japanese troops involved in the massacre of Chinese soldiers and civilians will be held accountable.

The 114th Division is a vivid example! Less than 20 people from the th Division survived and to this day, the Jingguan built with their bodies and heads is still in Guancen Mountain.

Now these idiots of the 22nd Division are planning to slaughter people openly again. Do they all have pig brains? These idiots don't care about anything else except fighting and killing.

"Your Excellency, the Division Commander! General Okamura sent an urgent telegram! We must stop the cleanup of the Chinese and let those Chinese leave immediately, otherwise we will be severely punished!"

"Bagayalu! Which coward leaked the news, bastard!"

After receiving the telegram from the Expeditionary Army Headquarters, Division Commander Yamada did not intend to obey these orders, and Chief of Staff Yoshino also knew that they had massacred more than 10,000 Chinese.

The 78th Army outside the city will never let them go. Now the Chief of Staff is investigating which bastard secretly reported to the expeditionary force headquarters.

On the second day, all the citizens in the city knew about the tragedy that happened last night, but now they were all controlled by the Japanese in a military camp in the south of the city.

Guarded by a regiment of Japanese soldiers, the people could not escape even if they wanted to. Looking at the heavy machine guns mounted at the gate of the military camp, the common people could only cry loudly.

The crying and shouting were heard outside the city. Zhang Biao and Zhao Zhiqiang, who were in charge of commanding the siege, learned the news and knew that an accident must have occurred in the city.

There has been no news from the puppet troops that had been in contact with him for a whole day and a night.

"Let the Air Force send out fighter jets to conduct reconnaissance and find out what kind of accident happened in the city!"

In fact, the 78th Army had launched a tentative siege a few days ago, but when they found that the people standing on the city wall were ordinary people with their hands tied.

In order to prevent casualties among innocent civilians, they had to stop the attack. Fortunately, the puppet troops in the city secretly contacted them and planned to break into the city with the help of internal and external forces.

But since yesterday, the radio station that I had been in frequent contact with suddenly stopped sending messages.

Two hours later, the intelligence sent back by the Air Force reconnaissance plane made all the officers and soldiers of the 78th Army furious.

The Japanese devils actually massacred civilians in the city, and now they are detaining all the civilians in the military camp in the south of the city.

It looks like they plan to continue the massacre after dark!

"Air Force! Artillery, give these damned Japs a hard time! Get out of the south military camp!"

"See if the airborne troops can think of a solution!" After receiving the news, Wang Chun immediately flew from the TaiY front to Xinzhou with General Wei Lihuang, deputy commander of the Second War Zone.

The people faced brutal massacres by the Japanese invaders. If they wanted to attack, the Japanese invaders would use the people as human shields. If they did not attack, the Japanese invaders would start massacring the people again.

This made Wang Chun extremely anxious, and he wondered whether he could let the airborne troops carry out parachute operations in Xinzhou City.

But the reply he got was unrealistic. Not to mention that there were nearly 2 Japanese troops in the city, they could reinforce any parachute drop point in the city at any time.

The paratroopers have only been trained for a few months, and even if they go in, they will be like a bunch of weaklings who can only go in but never come out.

However, the Air Force gave a suggestion, that is, their dozens of newly equipped B29 bombers could go out for a stroll.

Wang Chun knew that he was too impatient, but he could not just watch the civilians being slaughtered one by one by the Japanese devils.

"Damn it! We must take revenge! Harsh revenge! If these beasts dare to massacre a Chinese citizen, I can kill 100 of them in the Japanese archipelago!"

"Have the bomber fleet begin long-range training in the near future and contact the Eighth Route Army. We need their help to build an airport on the Jiaodong Peninsula!"

Artillery fire continued to explode in the city of Xinzhou. The previous air force bomber group had visited here once. Except for the south of the city which was spared from the bombing, other areas were filled with thick smoke.

The artillery attacks also chose to avoid the area in the south of the city where civilians were being held.

This made some Japanese soldiers hate these civilians even more, and they planned to impose all the punishment they had suffered on the civilians.

After the artillery fire stopped that day, the Japanese army once again took more than 3,000 civilians to the top of the city wall.

"Mom! I'm hungry!" A skinny, dark-skinned little girl, only six or seven years old, stuffed a dirty finger into her mouth.

But such sucking only made her hungrier and hungrier, and the woman holding her already had tears soaking her face.

Just now, her husband, the little girl's father, and many other young and middle-aged men were forcibly driven to the city wall by the Japanese soldiers.

The child was ignorant and only knew that her stomach was growling from hunger. She had no idea that her father was about to be killed.

She will never see again the father who always carried her on his shoulders and made her happy.

A group of men were pushed down the city wall by the Japanese, and they already knew their fate.

Many people have begun to cry and beg for mercy, and even more people are staring at the Japanese soldiers with bloodshot eyes.

Some of the soldiers of the 78th Army outside the city had begun to break free from their comrades. They could not bear to see the Japanese slaughtering their compatriots in front of them.

These soldiers are proud people and they cannot accept such humiliation.

Hundreds of tanks started to move and began to drive towards Xinzhou City.
