Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"No more nonsense. We should go north to recapture Yandu. We will fight the battle when the time comes." The brigade commander said, "Notify the troops and start the action."

"Yes," replied the Chief of Staff.

……

In the valley.

With his many years of experience, Morita Daikou could tell at a glance that this was the place chosen by the Eighth Route Army for them to surrender.

This place is suitable for an ambush. If the locust army does not intend to surrender, the Eighth Route Army will probably take advantage of the situation and destroy them.

Morita swallowed hard and decided to surrender today!

He can't die here.

"Order the troops to stop advancing, I feel something is wrong!" Morita immediately stopped the troops.

"What's wrong, General? Is there any problem?" asked the chief of staff beside him.

"It's too quiet, we might have been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Go and call the commanders of the various units!"

Morita Dakou said anxiously, as if he was facing a great enemy.

The chief of staff was horrified when he heard this. They said that if they fell into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, they would be dead in this kind of terrain!

A few minutes later, the commanders of various units gathered in front of Morita Oguchi.

"General, we already know the situation. What do you think we should do?" the Japanese asked.

They were also very nervous. They had walked for almost 20 miles and had not seen a single Eighth Route Army soldier.

This is indeed strange.

Logically speaking, the city of Yandu was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and the movements of more than 40,000 people would more or less arouse the Eighth Route Army's vigilance.

How……

"Surf the gun and don't kill!"

"Surf the gun and don't kill!"

"Surf the gun and don't kill!!"

Suddenly, a large number of searchlights appeared on the hillside, shining directly on the faces of the Japanese. The dazzling light made it impossible for them to see what was happening on the mountain.

But they heard clearly the words "Surrender your guns and you will not be killed" shouted in the Japanese language.

"Nani?"

"We were ambushed!"

Morita said loudly, pretending to be panicked.

"General, fight them!"

"Fight back, General!"

The Japanese generals were terrified. Although they could not see clearly, they could vaguely see human figures flashing on the hillside and the figures of many artillery pieces.

"Don't act rashly. See what the Eighth Route Army says. They are well prepared. If there is an exchange of fire, the Locust Army will have little chance of winning!" Morita Dakou hurriedly stopped them.

Although the Japanese were unhappy, they still listened to Morita's arrangements.

"Devils down there, surrender! You've been surrounded by our 200 artillery pieces and 6 men. If you continue to resist, you'll only end up dead!"

"We in the Eighth Route Army treat prisoners well. As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, we will guarantee your personal safety and send you back home to reunite with your family in the future!"

On the hillside, a soldier who had been trained in speaking the Japanese language shouted into a loudspeaker.

"General, what should we do? They want us to surrender!"

"Bakayaloo! The warriors of the Great Benzi Empire must die with honor and must not surrender!"

"Fight them!!"

The Japanese generals shouted and wanted to fight to the death.

Morita Daikou looked worried and ready to fight back.

The Japanese soldiers were whispering to each other, their faces full of panic.

They have indeed been away from their hometown for a long time, and most of them have parents, wives and children.

Now hearing that the Eighth Route Army said that they would not only treat them well but would also send them back to their country in the future, they were hesitant for a moment and didn't know what to do.

"If the Eighth Route Army doesn't take action, we won't take action either! Let's wait and see, our reinforcements will be here soon!" Morita said calmly.

He chose to continue cheating.

He had said before that reinforcements would come after the breakout began, and now is the perfect time to fool people again.

After hearing what Morita said, the Japanese generals stopped shouting and began to wait and see what would happen.

Anyway, the Eighth Route Army hasn't taken action yet...

Twenty minutes later.

"Let's play the Japanese song that headquarters gave us for them..."

"It's President Lao who has a solution. This is what we call being surrounded by enemies on all sides..."

The brigade commander smiled with his hands behind his back.

It was he who was in contact with Morita Daikou, so he had to ensure Morita Daikou's safety.

The Japanese should be allowed to surrender voluntarily instead of Morita asking for it, as this would definitely be detrimental to his life safety.

Suddenly, the Japs heard familiar singing coming from all directions.

The song is melodious and beautiful, and it is a song that every Japanese soldier has heard since childhood.

The songs in it are about their beautiful hometown and their wonderful aspirations.

In the valley.

When the Japanese heard this song, their determination was greatly weakened.

Even many Japanese soldiers stood up stupidly and dropped their weapons at their feet.

Then there were quiet sobs, and then more and more Japanese soldiers began to cry.

"What are you doing?! Are you still soldiers of the Great Benzi Empire?"

"Take up arms!"

"I told you to take up arms!"

Morita was cursing loudly, and at this moment he was still acting.

"Resist, resist, don't listen! Don't listen!"

"This is a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army. They are destroying our morale!"

"Bagayalu! I miss my wife!"

"I haven't seen the cherry blossoms in my hometown for several years..."

At this time, some officers around Morita Ohguchi were determined to resist, while others were infected by the singing and lost their will.

"Ah... surrender... I also want to fight back, but the army's morale is not enough..."

"Look, the soldiers and officers of the Locust Army have basically lost their will to fight because of the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army."

"How else can we fight?"

"Rather than die in vain, it is better to lie down and pretend to surrender!"

Morita let out a long sigh towards the sky and said helplessly, then his eyes suddenly became fierce and his face showed a murderous look.

"This... General, is this really possible?" asked the colonel who was still prepared to fight to the end and be loyal to His Majesty Tianhuang.

"Believe me, we have to attack from the center and kill all their personnel!" Morita said confidently, as if everything was going according to plan.

"Tell the Eighth Route Army that we are willing to surrender and ask them to ensure that we are treated well!" Morita ordered loudly.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the other brainwashed people were helpless and could only follow Morita Daikou and take things one step at a time.

Those Japanese soldiers who were willing to surrender were jubilant. They took off their hats and threw them high, shouting and celebrating their survival.

The reputation of the Eighth Route Army is well known, and they will definitely treat the prisoners well.

"Eighth Route Army, our general is willing to lead the locust army to surrender to your army. Please be sure to keep your promise, guarantee our personal safety, and guarantee to give us preferential treatment!" The Japanese soldier also raised his loudspeaker and shouted.

"Put down your weapons, line up and walk out. We will strictly fulfill our promise!" The Eighth Route Army soldiers continued to shout halfway up the hill.

"Haha, it's done now. Order the troops that have entered the city to clear out the remaining Japanese forces in the city and arrest all the traitors. They will be publicly tried tomorrow morning!" The brigade commander put down the binoculars and grinned.
