The common people on the city wall saw the dust raised by the steel column in the distance, and they knew that it was their country's army.

They have come now to drive out these invaders, and those who once dared not resist and became obedient subjects have finally paid the price for their cowardice.

The tank stopped when it reached an area 300 meters away from the city wall, and the Japanese soldiers had almost disappeared from sight.

Only the Chinese people stood there.

"Yoshi! I just love seeing those damned China pigs crying and wailing in front of us!"

"I just like to see those so-called elite troops under the city, and see their people begging for mercy from the locust army in front of them!"

"Look at their heads being chopped off one by one by the Locust Army warriors! Hahahaha!" At this moment, Division Commander Yoshida looked like a madman.

At this point, his body had been completely dominated by the evil thoughts in his heart, and he only wanted to satisfy his own abnormal and twisted psychology.

"Da da da" gunshots rang out from the top of the city, and civilians with their hands tied behind their backs fell down one after another.

"Brothers of the National Army outside the city, remember to avenge us!"

A shout began to be heard from the top of the city wall, and then the man jumped without hesitation. In order not to die under the Japanese guns, he chose to jump off the city wall and end his life.

"I am ashamed of my ancestors! I am ashamed of my nation! Today I will die in exchange for a clear conscience!"

More and more people chose to jump down from the top of the city wall. The "bang bang bang" sound of their bodies hitting the ground seemed to echo in the hearts of all those who witnessed it.

Wang Chun and General Wei Lihuang watched everything happening in front of them. Wang Chun was already in tears. Although General Wei was crying, his eyes were bloodshot.

Many soldiers beat their chests and stamped their feet, screaming loudly, but they were powerless and could only watch those bloody men accept their fate in such a decisive way.

Yoshida and the officers of the 22nd Division, who had been laughing, found that things were beyond their expectations.

Those Chinese people did not beg for mercy, nor did they wait for the bullets shot by the imperial warriors to end their lives. They actually chose to jump off the city wall, unwilling to die at the hands of the locust army.

Lieutenant General Yoshida seemed to see those damn Chinese people laughing at him before they died.

"Bagayalu! These damn guys! All the Chinese deserve to die! I will kill them all!"

"Rise up! Those who do not want to be slaves, use our flesh and blood to build my new Great Wall..."

The people who had not yet died on the city wall sang this song in the air, one person, two people, a group of people!

The loud and sad singing resounded through the sky. The 78th Army outside the city watched the Chinese people jumping off the city walls one by one without hesitation to the singing.

Gradually, some people started to sing this song, and the soldiers of the 78th Army on the front line began to use songs to bid farewell to those men who died bravely.

The imprisoned civilians in the city also heard the singing that resounded through the sky inside and outside the city. They would never have dared to sing this song here before.

But today is different. Anyway, they know they can’t survive, so let’s sing! Be brave and be an upright Chinese.

The singing of tens of thousands of people made the Japanese soldiers guarding them feel inexplicably frightened. They seemed to see the indomitable spirit of this nation.

"Boom boom boom" The sound of artillery accompanied the singing.

This time Wang Chun decided to be a bad guy. He only hoped that the Chinese people in the city would not hate others, because the order was issued by him, the commander.

Overwhelming artillery fire fell on Xinzhou City, and the 78th Army could only use this method to comfort the dead heroes.

Fires caused by large numbers of incendiary bombs spread throughout the city, as if they were going to burn away all the evil.

In particular, the section of the city wall where the Chinese people were massacred became the main attack area, and it was originally thought that there would be human shields to resist.

The 78th Army outside the city was afraid to act rashly. But now it is different. The actions of the Japanese army have completely ignited everyone's anger.

Yamada looked at the fire all over the sky and his hair that had been curled by the smoke, and finally some rationality came back to him.

Now they began to feel a little fear in their hearts. The Chinese army had begun to show a desperate attitude in this round of shelling.

They had begun to openly attack the areas where the city's civilians were being held, and the 22nd Division's plan to take hostages seemed to be failing.

The group of Chinese people on the opposite side are already planning to overturn the table. How will the 22nd Division, which has lost its bargaining chips, face the tremendous anger of the 78th Army in the future?

This round of air strikes and artillery bombardment alone made the 22nd Division, which had been stationed on the prairie, finally experience what it felt like to be in a city of flames.

Many Japanese soldiers were set on fire by the terrible kerosene, and no matter how they beat the flames they could not put out the flames.

Instead, other parts of his body were also set on fire, and some soldiers who were helping to put out the fire were also set on fire.

Pouring water on them couldn't put out the fire, and one could only watch them burn. The air was filled with a horrible burnt smell.

Colonel Inada was the commander of the 38th Regiment, and he was the officer who sent the telegram to the expeditionary force headquarters.

He did not choose to communicate privately out of fear. As an orthodox soldier, he believed that war should be a direct confrontation between the two armies.

These civilians should not be involved. He has always been opposed to the purposeless killing of civilians.

He felt that these actions were a smear on the bravery of the Locust Army and were not in line with the spirit of a soldier.

However, there are not many people in the Japanese military who think like him, and most Japanese soldiers have very distorted psychology.

Listening to the sad songs sung by the Chinese people, Colonel Inada did not order anyone to stop them.

Yoshida was a fool and he messed things up. Today's China is no longer what it used to be and the empire has begun to decline.

The Chinese people are now more united than ever before. When they sang this song today, they were already prepared to die. Of course, Commander Yamada originally did not intend to let them survive.

Tens of thousands of people expressed their emotions through singing, and they were conveying their desire to die to the Chinese soldiers outside the city.

Everyone knew that the reason the army outside the city did not launch a forceful attack was because these people were being held hostage.

Now they don't want to be a burden anymore, they just want to die and let the army outside the city avenge them.

What happens to the Chinese people today may happen in the empire tomorrow. This fool Yoshida opened a Pandora's box and released a demon with his own hands.

This can't go on any longer, I have to stop these lunatics. Now is not the worst time yet, some things can still be saved.

The massacre did not continue. The shelling continued until dark, and the 22nd Division had no time to care about these civilians.

Their losses in the bombing and shelling were horrific, with nearly 2300 people dying directly in the shelling and bombing.

Many of the city’s defenses were burned down, and granaries, military supply warehouses, hospitals, etc. suffered devastating blows.

Now some of the burned and charred wounded soldiers could only be left in the open air, and their wailing could be heard by the soldiers of the First Army of the 78th Army outside the city.

Colonel Inada and Division Commander Yamada had a big quarrel at the temporary command center. Yamada even tried to slap Inada, but was pushed away by Inada.

"Asshole! Inada, you actually dared to contradict your superior! I demand that you, asshole, commit seppuku immediately to apologize!"

Inada ignored the division commander's shouting behind him. This was the area controlled by his regiment, and he had completely lost hope in this crazy division commander.
