Chapter 227 The surrendered devils are different devils!
Chapter 227 The surrendered devils are different devils!
The area near the west gate of Chidong County is all plains, with few forests and hillsides.
So the moment the flare was launched, the team led by Wang Dali saw the team led by Kubo Taro.
Similarly, the team led by Kubo Taro also saw the team led by Wang Dali.
Both sides opened fire without saying a word.
Wang Dali's team has hundreds of people, and similarly, Kubo Taro's team also has hundreds of people.
But Wang Dali's team had three machine guns, while Kubo Taro's team only had rifles.
So it didn't take long for Wang Dali's team to suppress Kubo Taro's team.
"Damn it, how could we meet Chinese troops here?" Kubo Taro cursed as he saw that the battle was becoming increasingly unfavorable for him and his men.
"Captain Kubo, please think of a solution quickly. We can't hold on any longer."
"Besides, we are running low on ammunition. If we continue fighting, we will have no choice but to surrender."
Another team leader in Kubo Taro's team shouted loudly at Kubo Taro.
This Japanese army had no will to fight at all, all they thought about was escaping.
"Surrender? Yes, we surrender, surrender immediately." After hearing this, Kubo Taro's eyes lit up and he said quickly.
Taro Kubo was a veteran, and he knew very well that the 37th Division had been completely defeated.
And they were also surrounded by the Tiger Guards.
The armored forces of the Tiger Guards Division were crushing them back and forth, so surrendering to the Tiger Guards Division was also a way to survive.
Besides, Kubo Taro can speak Chinese. With this ability, the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Division will definitely not kill him.
After Kubo Taro's surrender order was conveyed, no Japanese objected.
And I don’t know which Japanese soldier contributed his white underwear.
Anyway, there was a pair of white underwear hanging on a very long branch.
As Kubo Taro and his group of devils ceased firing and raised their white underwear, Wang Dali also ordered a ceasefire.
But Wang Dali was a little surprised, because he had never seen the Japanese surrender in an organized manner.
In fact, what Wang Dali didn’t know was.
Taro Kubo's team has no structure at all, and all the Japanese in this team are afraid of death.
"Who among you can speak the Japanese language and make these Japanese raise their guns above their heads?" Although Wang Dali was a little surprised, he still said to the soldiers around him.
"Commander, no one here can speak the Japanese language." The guard asked the soldiers around him and said to Wang Dali.
"Then shout in our language. If the devils don't understand, just kill them."
"Anyway, we in the Tiger Guards Division don't have a rule of treating prisoners preferentially."
After hearing what the guard said, Wang Dali said without any hesitation.
In Wang Dali's view, it doesn't matter whether the prisoners are captured or not. If it weren't for the purpose of avoiding casualties, Wang Dali would not accept the surrender of the Japanese.
Too many soldiers from the Tiger Guard Division have been sacrificed in this war, and Wang Dali is reluctant to see any more casualties.
"Commander, I'll go and call them then." After hearing what Wang Dali said, the guard thought for a moment and said.
"Well, don't stand out. Hide and shout. Who knows whether the Japanese are really surrendering or just pretending to surrender?" Wang Dali nodded and said after hearing this.
After hearing Wang Dali's words, the guard nodded slightly, then crawled to the other side, about thirty meters away from Wang Dali, and shouted.
"Listen up, devils on the other side! If you really want to surrender, stand up and raise your guns above your heads. Our commander will guarantee your safety."
"Listen up, devils on the other side, you..."
The guard shouted three times in a row before Kubo Taro came out with hundreds of Japanese devils, guns raised above their heads.
In fact, Kubo Taro also hesitated just now, because he was afraid that Wang Dali and others would massacre them after surrendering.
However, given the current situation, Kubo Taro has no choice but to take a gamble.
Of course, the guards' shouting of "Tuanzuo" also had some effect.
Because Kubo Taro felt that a Chinese leader should abide by international rules.
"We surrender sincerely, please don't shoot." Kubo Taro raised his gun high and shouted stutteringly in not very fluent Chinese.
After Wang Dali heard Kubo Taro's shout, he did not come out immediately.
Instead, he sent dozens of soldiers to collect the guns from Kubo Taro and others, and to control Kubo Taro and others.
Only after the soldiers had taken away all of Kubo Taro's guns and gathered Kubo Taro and others together did Wang Dali come out.
"Do you speak Chinese?" Wang Dali came to Kubo Taro and asked.
"Don't... don't kill us... I speak a little Chinese... we are useful." Kubo Taro still stuttered in his not very fluent Chinese.
Although Kubo Taro's Chinese is not very good, he can understand Chinese very well.
"Are you an officer of this unit? And how do you know Chinese?" Wang Dali looked Kubo Taro up and down and asked.
"Sir, my name is Kubo Taro, and I am the team leader of this team."
"My Chinese was taught by my teacher. We...we are willing to surrender. Please accept our surrender!"
I don’t know if Kubo Taro was too scared of death, but he didn’t stutter much this time.
After saying this, he bowed solemnly to Wang Dali and handed the command knife in his hand to Wang Dali with both hands.
Wang Dali heard what Kubo Taro said and saw his actions. After thinking for a while, he took Kubo Taro's command knife.
Wang Dali felt that Kubo Taro was different from other devils, so he prepared to accept Kubo Taro's surrender first and report it to Zhou Weimin.
After that, it depends on how Zhou Weimin plans to deal with these surrendered Japanese devils.
As for why Wang Dali felt that Kubo Taro was different.
That's because in Wang Dali's impression and experience, the Japanese devils' fighting will is extremely tenacious and they will never surrender.
Even if some of the Japanese soldiers were seriously injured, they would not surrender. Instead, they would struggle and fight. If there was really no way to fight, they would commit suicide.
Moreover, Zhou Weimin had previously told Wang Dali and others that the first rule in the Japanese infantry drill manual clearly stated:
"Never surrender, because surrender will only bring shame to your loved ones. The last bullet must be kept for yourself."
"You are quite good, unlike the average devil. I will report your surrender to the division commander."
"Now lead your team and follow me. Remember not to play any tricks, or I will order you to be shot."
Wang Dali looked at Kubo Taro, smiled, and then spoke to Kubo Taro word by word.
"Hi!" Kubo Taro nodded heavily and responded.
At this moment, Kubo Taro knew that the lives of him and others were saved, but he didn't know what would happen next.
But as long as I'm alive, that's fine.
