"Your Excellency Ichiro Nanada, the 20th Division has been heavily surrounded. Don't have any illusions, no one will come to save you!

Jiang Dong, the commander of the only division, assures you that as long as you lead the troops to surrender, the personal safety of the officers and soldiers of the 20th Division will be guaranteed.

If you are willing to join the anti-war alliance, we welcome you, but if you are not willing, Commander Jiang will not make things difficult for you, and will let you return to Japan intact to reunite with your family after the war is over!"

As soon as the sun shone on the earth on the 15th, the Chinese and Japanese troops on the outskirts of Nanpo Village began to hear the sound of well-spoken Japanese.

The 39th Brigade of the 20th Division has been completely surrounded by three regiments from Jiangdong.

Japanese soldiers and officers almost didn't need to think too much to be sure that the annoying voice was caused by the Japanese Anti-War League.

This voice has been going on for an hour. Although the words are all indifferent words to persuade them to surrender, it has been invisibly burned into the psychology of ordinary Japanese soldiers.

"Soldiers of the 20th Division, you are the most miserable and poor farmers in Japan.

What if you die in this foreign country, with your family’s land, wife, children, and parents?

You are all ordinary people, and victory in the war will not change your lives much.

Once you die, your wife will remarry, your son will take another man's surname, and your parents will be left alone...

Think about it, is it worth it?

If you want to understand anything, drop your weapons and run to us.

The planners and initiators of the war are the emperor and military officers. You are all excusable.

You must have the opportunity to return to Japan to reunite with your family instead of dying in this desolate small village in a foreign country!"

There are tin speakers all around Nanpo Village shouting constantly.

The three regiments of the first brigade took the time to rest and prepare for the final attack.

………

………

"Baga...Bagaya road!"

Listening to the constant calls for surrender from outside, Ichiro Nanada was extremely angry.

"These scum of the great nation, they have not stopped insulting His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Army, and they actually help the enemy to deal with their own country and compatriots. They are simply shameless!

Fire, fire, kill all the scum of the empire!"

The call to surrender has been going on all morning, and everyone in the headquarters looked a little strange.

Most of them are as angry as the division commander, and a very few are thoughtful.

As the chief of staff, Uchida Ginnosuke had the responsibility to remind Nanada Ichiro. He spoke carefully,

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have a small number of artillery and not many artillery shells. The subsequent battle will definitely become more and more difficult, and we cannot let it go to waste.

I suggest just using heavy machine guns and grenade launchers to drive them away, without using artillery!"

Ichiro Nanada waved his hand and agreed to the chief of staff's proposal.

The Japanese army's position, which had been silent all morning, once again burst into bright gunfire. Bullets flew like raindrops towards the iron horn, causing gravel and mud to fly.

The annoying sounds were finally suppressed, and the Japanese soldiers and officers felt that their ears were much quieter.

"call……"

Thousands of people breathed a sigh of relief.

After the ears are purified, the brain becomes more flexible.

Many soldiers thought of their hometown and relatives, and their expressions began to become erratic.

A strange aura of decadence was spreading among the soldiers. When everyone looked at each other, they would always feel guilty and look away unconsciously.

The Anti-War League's propaganda was working, but the officers and soldiers of the 20th Division were unwilling to admit it.

The 40th Brigade had the experience of being wiped out once, and now it was the 39th Brigade's turn. Everyone felt faintly uneasy, and many even felt fear and fear.

One general after another, one army after another were destroyed in Jiangdong's hands.

When facing the Jiangdong troops, Japanese soldiers always instinctively feel guilty and have no confidence.

Too many things happened in two days, and the Japanese Empire was completely defeated.

The 36th Division was completely wiped out and the 37th Division was surrounded.

Now it's his turn again, and how can the Japanese soldiers not panic!

Military morale and morale are gradually declining, and they no longer have the unscrupulous and arrogant appearance they once had.

………

After the anger, Ichiro Nanada calmed down again.

He regretted a little. Last night, he should have taken advantage of the Jiangdong encirclement to break through as much as possible while the encirclement of Jiangdong was not closed.

If a brigade can stand out, it can be regarded as saving firepower for the 20th Division.

But now the entire army is surrounded, and reinforcements are still thousands of miles away.

Seeing that the danger of annihilation of the entire army was right in front of him, he could not think of any good countermeasures.

After last night's battle, the number of the 39th Brigade has been reduced to 5,000.

Opposite are Jiangdong's three regiments, with a strength of at least 10,000.

In addition, the opponent also has a heavy artillery regiment that can hit more than ten kilometers away, and the strength and firepower are extremely different.

As for the artillery wing of the 20th Division? No!

During the First Battle of Southern Shanxi, the entire artillery regiment was wiped out, and the base camp had not had time to replenish them.
Chapter completed!
