Under Zhang Xinghan's instruction, more than 5,000 captive soldiers received better food treatment and a full meal.

Compared with them, the remnants of the Northeastern Army who were besieged on the mountains outside the city were in a state of hunger and panic, and their morale could be said to be at its lowest point.

They continued to suffer like this until dawn, and He Lichong, Li Shusen and others did not sleep a wink all night.

"Brother He, it's dawn." Li Shusen looked like the end was coming.

He Lichong looked at him and said angrily: "I saw it."

After a pause, He Lichong still managed to cheer up and said: "The young marshal has already called back. The reinforcements are on their way and will arrive in the near future. As long as we persist and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, we will definitely have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Li Shusen said a little discouraged: "It's easy to say, Zhang Xinghan surrounded us, but did not attack for half a night. If he is really worried about the arrival of our reinforcements, how can he give us a chance to breathe?"

He Lichong remained silent and did not answer Li Shusen's words. Although he did not know what medicine Zhang Xinghan was selling in his throat, both he and Li Shusen understood it.

It may not be that easy for the reinforcements to arrive smoothly. If nothing else, the Northeast New Army's air force alone is enough to overwhelm the reinforcements during the day.

This is not the worst thing. What He Lichong and Li Shusen feared most was that Zhang Xinghan mobilized air force fighter planes to carry out coverage bombing of the mountains where they were trapped.

That would cause unimaginable damage to them.

After spending about half an hour in anxiety, a group of Northeast New Army fighter planes flew over Tushan and began to circle continuously.

But the expected air raid did not happen.

Looking at the planes circling back and forth in the sky, Li Shusen said to He Lichong with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother He, what are they trying to do? They are neither bombing nor strafing. Are they showing off their flying skills to us?"

He Lichong shook his head gently, thinking silently.

At this moment, a major officer ran over from the front in a panic.

"Brigade, it's bad, please take a look. The Northeast New Army at the foot of the mountain is making big moves!" The major officer turned around and pointed in the direction of the foot of the mountain before he could salute and said hurriedly.

He Lichong and Li Shusen's expressions changed immediately after hearing this, and they climbed up a huge rock with binoculars.

Standing at a high place and looking down, He Lichong and Li Shusen were shocked.

What they saw were large-caliber artillery lined up one after another. The black muzzles removed some of the bunkers and were all pointed in the direction of the mountain.

This is a naked force deterrence. He Lichong and Li Shusen secretly thought at the same time.

Sure enough, two tanks suddenly drove up from the bottom of the mountain.

The tanks stopped when they reached a safe location, but a simple horn was erected on the roof of one of the tanks.

"The brothers from the Northeastern Army on the mountain listened and had something special to say to each other.

We are all brothers from the same origin and have no hatred at all. Our real enemy is little Japan.

Zhang Xinghan, the commander-in-chief of our Northeastern New Army, is thinking of this. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, please immediately put down your weapons, go down the mountain and surrender.

Otherwise, our air force and artillery can level an entire mountain of soil at the snap of a finger.

We, Commander-in-Chief Zhang, promise you that as long as you put down your arms, we will not kill anyone. We will give you what we have.

This is best proven by the treatment your comrades receive."

The shouting had just ended, and He Lichong and Li Shusen had not yet come to their senses and responded.

But the familiar singing voice suddenly sounded from behind the two tanks.

Including He Lichong, everyone on the mountain was already in a state of panic, and the restless Northeast Army was all taken aback.

As the singing became louder and louder, the Northeast officers and soldiers on Tushan heard it more clearly.

Some people began to cry bitterly.

Li Shusen suddenly pointed to the distance down the mountain and said, "Brother He, look quickly."

He Lichong, who was emotionally affected, was startled and quickly raised his telescope to look.

What came into view was a dark crowd. To be precise, it was a crowd of Northeastern military officers and soldiers. There were so many people that it was so dark that it seemed like you couldn't see the edge.

"He's one of ours." Li Shusen took a breath of air and said.

He Lichong's expression changed drastically. He saw a group of captives at the foot of the mountain holding up eye-catching banners such as "Chinese don't fight Chinese, we are brothers of Pao Ze" and "Let's fight the Japanese together."

Singing the military song "Good Man" of their Northeast Army, they were slowly approaching Tushan.

"Brother He, what should we do?" Li Shusen was anxious.

At this time, the emotions of some officers and soldiers guarding the front have been completely aroused.

Trapped in a desperate situation and with low morale, they were feeling sad and ashamed, like a flood that burst a dam and was out of control.

There were soldiers wailing and crying everywhere, and some even desperately climbed out of the temporary fortifications and ran down the mountain.

After the military song ended, the soldiers stopped as a precaution.

A group of prisoner representatives headed by Tieniu, Big Man and others arrived at the foot of Tushan under the cover of tanks.

Several people took the risk and stood side by side. Tieniu couldn't restrain his emotions and shouted loudly to his comrades on Tushan: "Brothers, I am Tieniu of the 620th Regiment. The Northeast New Army is the real army that fights the Japanese. We

Many people in the village joined the New Army.

I was captured by them yesterday and was not treated in any way. On the contrary, I was given a rare and hearty meal by everyone.

Commander-in-Chief Zhang is right. As soldiers, we have left behind our parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters, and the hometown where we were born and raised. This is a shame.

We were scolded as cowards and cowards when we followed the young marshal in the customs. I never want to return to the customs to be cowards and cowards.

If I want to stay, stay in my hometown and join the New Army to fight the Japanese, even if I die, I am also a well-known Northeast man, and I am worthy of the folks in my hometown.

So, brothers, stop fighting, put down your weapons and surrender.

Look behind us, hundreds of cannons are waiting in full formation! Look at the sky, they are all planes of the Northeastern New Army.

Commander-in-Chief Zhang couldn't bear to see us fighting each other, so he didn't give the order to open fire.

High on the mountain, He Lichong put down the telescope angrily, turned around and shouted: "Adjutant, give me the order to the front, open fire immediately, and kill those people who are eating them inside and outside!"

"Wait a minute, Brother He, don't be impulsive." Li Shusen raised his head and looked at the planes that were still swooping and circling in the sky, and said with a grimace: "If they are offended, we will really be doomed."

"Then we can't let them continue to seduce the morale of the army. If this continues, the army will collapse." He Lichong turned around and shouted resolutely: "Why the hell are you still cold? Give me the order immediately!"

"Yes!" The adjutant took the order and left.

However, the order was conveyed to the front line, but no one carried it out at all.

The big guy’s words caused even greater commotion and resonance.

"Brothers, fighting against the Northeastern New Army is like fighting with the left hand and the right hand. If the attack is disabled or interrupted, the only one who hurts is us.

If you beat him to death, you will only get a bad reputation.

However, fighting the Japanese is different. Ever since the September 18th Incident, what Commander-in-Chief Zhang has done has been witnessed by all of us.

Wouldn't it be a shame to be both soldiers?

Now, Commander-in-Chief Zhang has a large number of people who are willing to ignore the past grievances, accept us to fight against Japan together, and distribute the best weapons and equipment to us.

During the charge, we had tanks on the ground, planes in the sky, and endless supplies of ammunition.

Brothers, you should cherish it. Even if you die when you fight against the Japanese, it will be a lesson for history. We will all be national anti-Japanese heroes in the future.

We will never be stabbed in the back again. Brothers, don’t hesitate any more and come down the mountain.

It is better to die to protect the country than to be injured in the civil war!"

In the distance, Liu Dongqing smiled with satisfaction and said: "Grandma, this big guy didn't notice, but his eloquence is pretty good."

"Motel, the front line is reversed." The adjutant ran back with a sad face.

"What? The opposite?" He Lichong suddenly changed his color.

"No one carried out your order at all, and you were slapped for your humble position!" the adjutant said with an aggrieved face, covering his face.

"Brother He, look, it's bad, the soldiers have mutinied." Li Shusen suddenly reminded.

He Lichong quickly raised his telescope and saw hundreds of officers and soldiers in the forward positions jumping out of the trenches, holding weapons, and heading down the mountain.

Moreover, their actions triggered a chain reaction, and more soldiers began to get up and follow them.

"It's over..." He Lichong dropped the telescope in his hand in vain, stumbling under his feet and murmuring with his face ashen. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
