Chapter 277 Are they crazy? They don't want a future anymore
Tianjia Town.
The location of the 14th Division is the Chen Family Ancestral Hall in Tianjia Town.
The entire ancestral hall is made of bricks and masonry, with a wall of city walls on the outside. From here, you can see everything around Tianjia Town. You can also see the Wuhan army moving around Tianjia Town.
"They really don't dare to attack." Doiyuan, who was standing on the stairs observing, smiled calmly at Sano Tadayoshi beside him.
After looking through the telescope again, Sano Tadayoshi said, "Although we cannot attack, this is against the harmony of the people. If this matter is spread out, not only our 14th Division, but also the entire Imperial Army and the Empire will be shrouded in a disgraceful shadow."
Dohyo's smile froze for a moment before he glanced at Tadayoshi Sano in front of him; "I didn't realize you were such a compassionate person."
After saying this, he went down the stairs and handed the telescope in his hand to the adjutant beside him.
Forcing the civilians to form a human shield was a helpless move. If he wanted to support the 27th Brigade's breakout, he could not retreat. However, the entire army did not have many heavy weapons and could not effectively intercept the independent regiment with armored forces.
Therefore, the moment he ordered the division to move to Tianjia Town, he wanted to use the civilians to form a human shield.
This has two purposes. First, to delay time and buy time for the Sakai Detachment to move south. Second, to delay the Independent Regiment so that they dare not attack and will not withdraw. In this way, the 27th Brigade can evacuate safely.
Kill two birds with one stone.
As for what Sano Tadayoshi said about being against harmony among people, they are first of all a human being.
The point is, they are human beings.
"He is simply not a human being." At the temporary battalion headquarters of the first battalion of the independent regiment, even Xiao Ya, who was known for her gentleness and nobility in the independent regiment, cursed out loud in anger when she saw the horrified and desperate civilians who were tied up with ropes and thrown randomly in front of the Japanese army's position.
Through the telescope, some people were already dead. Under the scorching sun, flies were flying around the corpses, but next to the corpses were civilians who were not moved at all.
"Captain, these bastards are fucking worthless. What should we do?" Wu Laoyao came up to Zhou Weiguo and pointed in the direction of Tianjia Town and asked.
The army gathered in Tianjia Town, but was unable to attack. That was not all. Japanese bombers also came over arrogantly. Just not long ago, they came to bomb again, causing the loss of hundreds of people and a tank was also destroyed.
Zhou Weiguo put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.
Less than 400 meters away from him was the Japanese division headquarters, but he was blocked by more than a thousand innocent civilians.
Should we retreat or advance?
"Prepare for attack." Zhou Weiguo opened his eyes and pointed to the distance.
attack.
Fang Shengli came to Zhou Weiguo in shock, "Old Zhou, we can't attack. There are more than a thousand civilians. The old man Tu Feiyuan dared to do this, he must have been well prepared. He knew who dared to give the order, and he would definitely be interrogated by the military court. You can't be confused."
Tian Jing also advised, "Yes, don't make a fool of yourself. If you attack, the military court will not let you go."
Ono also felt that this was inappropriate, but if they did not attack, the Yellow River would be easily diverted. Moreover, they could not wait any longer. The Sakai Detachment was already on the way. If they delayed any further, they would join the 14th Division and the good situation here would be gone.
"Old Zhou, why don't you report this to the military?" Ono turned his head and said.
"The commander won't let me attack, but this time, I have to attack. I have no choice."
Xiao Ya bit her lip and came to Zhou Weiguo; "Awen, I understand you. On one side are more than a thousand people, and on the other side are hundreds of thousands of people. I believe in your choice. No matter what, I will be by your side."
"Me too, brother-in-law, I stand with you too."
Zhou Weiguo looked at the two people in front of him, then looked at the others with a knowing smile.
Fang Shengli spread his hands. "Although I am a bastard, I will follow you for the rest of my life. You can do whatever you say. It's just the military court. We didn't even take the NCO school seriously. Why should we be afraid of this?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the messenger beside him and said, "Prepare to attack."
"They want to attack, how dare they?" Fatty sat up from his chair and looked at the adjutant in front of him.
He just heard something. The enemy forces were dispersing, and tanks and armored vehicles were gathering on the right.
They are preparing to attack.
"How dare they? How dare they? Does their commander not want a future? Do they just plan to ignore these 1,000 people? Are they still human?"
The fat man walked around the yard twice in a rage, then looked at the staircase on the wall not far away and muttered, "I don't believe it. I absolutely don't believe that there are people in this world who don't want a future."
After he said that, he swung his fat body up the stairs.
The crying sound of the baby made Old Man Chen look over slightly. He stuck out his tongue and licked his cracked lips.
As the head of the Chen family and the mayor of Tianjia Town, he is a very prestigious person in this town. The crying baby is his great-grandson, who is already three months old.
"Let me see the child." Old man Chen said kindly.
His granddaughter-in-law moved slowly and placed the child in front of Old Man Chen.
"What a wonderful child! Since you came into our Chen family, there has been a lot more laughter."
"Grandpa, will we die?" The granddaughter-in-law patted her son lightly and asked Old Man Chen.
"Are you afraid?" Old man Chen couldn't touch his great-grandson, so he could only move and put his face close to the pink smiling face and asked.
His granddaughter-in-law shook her head at first, then nodded.
Old man Chen smiled and looked at his granddaughter-in-law; "Everyone is afraid of death, and I, an old man, am afraid of death too."
After he finished speaking, he set his gaze on a place less than twenty meters away from here. There was a ridge of a field there, which was his family's dry land. It was not high, but if a person squatted down on it, his head would not be exposed.
"Dad, those soldiers knelt down before us. Are we really going to die?"
Old man Chen trembled all over and followed his eldest son's gaze. In the distance, blue-gray soldiers, led by several officers, knelt on the ground in unison.
They are kowtowing towards this side.
"What do they mean? They don't want to care about our lives."
"Oh my god, why are they kowtowing to us? I'm scared."
"Brother." Old Man Chen's second brother moved closer to his elder brother. "Brother, is the army going to attack?"
Old man Chen looked at his brother and asked, "Are you afraid of death?"
"I'm not afraid of death. I'm so old, but I'm the hope of our Chen family." He set his eyes on the child who was blowing bubbles; "He...he's only three months old. He doesn't even know how good it is under the white clouds."
