No one expected that the trappings of Beidou Mountain lasted for nearly two and a half months!

The siege war, which started two days before the Chinese Lunar New Year in 1941, lasted until early April, not only became the largest siege war in the history of China's Patriotic War, but also became the most shameful war since the Japanese Empire started to harass China hundreds of years ago.

The 231 Infantry Regiment in the encirclement actually lost its combat effectiveness by the end of February, not because it had no guns and ammunition. According to statistics from the Chinese side that entered the Japanese highlands after the war, the 231 Infantry Regiment still had more than 200,000 various machine rifle bullets in the end, and even 150 mountain artillery shells and more than 300 70mm infantry artillery shells, as well as 1,300 intact Type 38 rifles, 35 Type 96 light machine guns, and 17 Type 92 heavy machine guns and other standard weapons.

Just looking at these weapons, equipment and ammunition stocks, even fools know that this can at least take away the lives of thousands of Chinese officers and soldiers.

However, the exquisite firearms developed by human civilization have been developed to this day. Most of the officers and soldiers of the 231 Infantry Regiment have become lonely ghosts in this mountainous area and have not shot a single shot.

First of all, it is because China has no intention to attack at all. They are just constantly strengthening the defense line. As long as the Japanese army has no intention to attack and break through, they are not willing to waste a shot and an ammunition on the Japanese.

After mid-to-late February, the Japanese army had already given up their intention to break through, especially when a trench of 4 meters deep and 4 meters wide appeared on the Chinese defense line.

Yes, Tang Dao personally ordered that the departments used the evening to dig the trenches in front of their respective defense lines that could fall to death if the wild boar fell, until they were completely connected around February 20. The deep trenches with a circumference of more than 13 kilometers surrounded the remaining soldiers of the 231 Infantry Regiment on those small hills that were completely isolated from the outside world.

If we have to describe it more appropriately, the trenches and fully armed soldiers in the distance are like high-mounted power grids. Whoever touches them will die. The deep trenches are trenches in the zoo that separate animals from the power grids, so as to avoid wild beasts who are ignorant of the current affairs and seek death rashly.

And the mountain surrounded by trenches is just Monkey Mountain!

People outside the barbed wire can see the situation of the monkeys on the Monkey Mountain, and monkeys can also see the Chinese people who are silently paying attention to them.

But what is slightly different from the animals and tourists in the future zoo is that these observations must be completed in a quiet and safe enough area. Any blatant look at each other is likely to be the last time that people and monkeys stare in this world.

Of course, this may be considered a safari, because the 'monkeys' inside will not receive any food from the viewers to feed them. If they want to survive, everything depends on themselves.

Fortunately, the 'monkey' is an omnivorous animal, and the original genetic imprint is engraved with the concept that everything can be eaten.

After the first month of the year, the mountains located in the hinterland of China ushered in the long-lost spring breeze. The leaves turned green, the flowers bloomed, and the insects also drilled out of the soil...

As for the various small animals that hibernate, they had been dug out of the holes in the ground by bayonets and turned into good proteins before that.

This scene appeared on the front pages of several large newspapers and magazines in China and the United States.

There are always people in this world who are willing to choose to dance on the tip of a knife for their beliefs, such as war correspondents.

There is in China, in Japan, and in Westerners.

The soldiers defend their ideals and lives with guns, while the reporters use cameras to record the cruelty and sadness of war.

"The encirclement is like an unbreakable cage. The Japanese side has become like a flock of sheep pens. We have completely won the victory and, from a humanitarian perspective, urged the Japanese side to surrender collectively. They have no possibility of reversing the situation."

Shen Bingyun, a Chinese war correspondent who posted the "Monkey Mountain" picture and wrote such a comment, is another famous female reporter in China after Dan Tai Mingyue.

As a war correspondent who personally experienced the Battle of Jiangxia, the first Battle of Changsha and recorded the soldiers who jumped out of the trenches with rifles, this third-year student in the Chinese Department of Jiangxia University, who idolized Dan Tai Mingyue, has seen too many tragic tragedies.

She had seen the bloody soldiers who were scattered by the mountain shells, and she had also seen the courage of putting herself under the tank car with explosive bags on her back to find only a few finger bones after the Japanese army broke through the position and put all the wounded people who had no time to evacuate down the tank car tracks and crushed them.

She had a grenade and a small bottle of poison obtained from the chemistry department teacher at any time, which were all to prevent her from falling into the hands of the Japanese army that day, and she could destroy her body and soul together.

If you see death too much, you will no longer be afraid of death. This is the most personal experience that the war has brought to this Chinese woman who is only 21 years old.

But one and a half months in Beidou Mountain, when this brave female Chinese war correspondent used her own lens to clearly record what happened on the Monkey Mountain in the looking hole, the female reporter who most longed to watch the death of the Japanese army actually asked them to surrender.

Because that kind of cruelty is far beyond the bloody battlefield! It has surpassed the limits of a nerve-wracking person's definition of the word cruelty.

Since the end of February, the Japanese army has stopped burying the bodies. Even whenever someone dies, the Japanese army shows not sadness or numbness, but excitement.

Extremely excited!

They pulled out the bayonet hanging around their waists, like a group of hyenas found a bison lying on the grassland...

"Captain Tang, the Japanese have been out of food for half a month, why don't they surrender?" Shen Bingyun, who had just finished spitting in the trenches, finally couldn't help but ask Tang Dao, who had just 'beated' the ten scouts back to the command center in the training ground behind the mountain.

"Everyone has their own persistence and principles. Just like you, I, like them, the Japanese who are far away in Japan may also ask the same question: The Chinese cannot even make guns and cannons, so why don't they surrender?" Tang Dao raised his head, pointed to Xia Dayu and Shi Dakuan who were following him, and replied faintly.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "We still have enough population and vast territory. What do they have?" Shen Bingyun frowned.

"They have a tough will and the ultimate Yamato national philosophy. You must know that since they brought back porcelain, silk, tea, etc. from our Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, the Japanese people who were still wearing sheets of linen suddenly discovered that there was such a beautiful and rich place in this world? Perhaps from that moment on, the occupation of this land has been quietly engraved in their genes." Tang Dao said.

"How can a robber surrender to his prey? I would never have any idea."

"What if they surrender to our army? I mean if!" Shen Bingyun continued to ask with a delicate brow frown.

"Then I can assure reporter Chen for them that they won't." Tang Dao suddenly smiled.

"Reporter Chen, you still don't know much about the Japanese nation. Of course, maybe you don't know me very much, because I know a little more than you think."

In the spring sunshine, Tang Dao, who is over 25 years old, still smiles so brightly. He is already handsome in military uniform. Smiling in such a spring is even more handsome. I don’t know how many women’s most perfect lovers are.

However, in this warm smile, the Chinese female reporter only felt a cool air from the soles of her feet soared into the sky.

She finally understood the real point of what Tang Dao said, whether the Japanese surrendered, since the day they were surrounded, they were not the final say, but all on this young army colonel.

He said that because the Japanese are tenacious and do not surrender, the Japanese can only refuse to surrender.

What he wanted was not to starve the Japanese soldiers to death in this mountain, but to build this place into a base that humiliated the Japanese army. These Chinese and foreign journalists were just a group of tool people, just like the Japanese soldiers surrounded and watched.

The only difference is that these tools consume words, while those surrounded Japanese consume life and humanity that has fallen into darkness.

She even had reason to believe that this scene would be recorded in real words and photos, and would be released at any time in the future, becoming a wound that the entire Japanese nation will never heal.

"Reporter Chen, you are very smart!" Tang Dao glanced at Shen Bingyun who was standing in a daze, with a smile on his face. "But don't forget, you are a Chinese, and you are a Chinese who has seen the great pain of the Chinese nation."

He looked up at the Japanese high ground opposite, his eyes calmly as if he was really looking at a group of monkeys: "If you can live to be 100 years old, you will know that they are just a group of clowns. The meaning of existence is to keep disgusting you. Do you think you will fight back?"

Of course, Shen Bingyun would not know that the Japanese army in the encirclement had the intention of surrendering. As early as a few days ago, the Japanese army held a white flag and walked towards the Chinese position. The Chinese side did not shoot directly, and put it into the trenches for negotiations.

However, the conditions for surrender proposed by China were simply unacceptable to the Japanese army.

As the highest commander of Beidoushan, Tang Dao handed over all weapons in the three conditions set by Tang Dao; the 231 Infantry Regiment flag must not be damaged and must be handed over; the then Supreme Japanese commander must kneel down in front of the surrendered Chinese commander.

The first condition is easy to say, and surrender naturally requires weapons and equipment, but either of the last two conditions must be nailed to death by the Japanese army on the pillar of shame in history.

There is naturally no way to start surrendering. Even if the Japanese eat dirt, they can only bear it.

The top Japanese troops have not thought of ways, and even contacted the senior Japanese military and political leaders through the German empire, hoping that China would accept surrender quietly and they were willing to pay enough price to redeem these surrendered soldiers.

Ten thousand prisoners of war were exchanged for two thousand, and this transaction was actually very touching.

But that person's view was miraculously consistent with Tang Dao at this time!

"The Japanese want to end this battlefield in a way that is not too embarrassing. Have they ever thought that in Songhu, Jinling, and Central China, who would help me find the face that I often lose? Although Tang Dao is rebellious, his mind is much clearer than you idiots. His move is to force the Japanese to a desperate situation. Whether it is a war or a surrender, the Japanese will be thrown to the Pacific Ocean. At this point, I support him!" The man scolded a military and political official who came to report.

Men are like this. It’s not that they can’t change their minds, but they are not tempting enough, but the stingy Japanese obviously don’t think they have given enough chips.

An infantry division equipped with 10,000 prisoners of war. Even a great noble like Fujiwara, could he exchange it for Mao this time, but the Chinese were stubbornly ruthless?

Although that person is only at the level of a battalion commander in combat deployment, when it comes to playing skills, looking at the entire China, there are only two or three people who can compete with him.

He had long seen through Tang Dao's purpose. Tang Dao wanted to put this shame on the Japanese's foreheads and let them bear it. Even if they won the final victory, the shadow of the Japanese army in the encirclement being seen by audiences all over the world as monkeys could not be removed.

With this attitude, Tang Dao has firmly implemented the cage tactics and welcomed Chinese and foreign journalists to visit and take photos.

The front page headlines were like sprinkling salt on the wound, which made Yokoyama Yong and several senior generals of the China Expeditionary Force headquarters blue.

The Chinese Expeditionary Army headquarters even had plans to urgently transfer the 13th Army to approach Jianghan. In addition to the 11th Army, the two armies have seven divisions and six independent brigades under their jurisdiction, with a total force of up to 210,000.

But China has long been guarding against the Japanese. The third war zone, the fifth war zone, and the ninth war zone have made corresponding adjustments.

At worst, we will have another large-scale battle. Although China, which has experienced less than ten battles, has lost almost all of it, has suffered huge losses, and has not defended its territory and has been scolded by the people, one thing has to be admitted that the direction of the entire war is entering a state of protracted war, just like Mr. Baili said.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention occupying the entire China, even if it is connected to the north and south of China, the Japanese will have at least two or three years. Now with the US military aid, China has more confidence and wastefulness with the Japanese army.

Even the top Chinese officials who were keenly aware of Japan's strategic focus shifts have realized a very important issue. Japan's risk of breaking up with the old Western empire may not be because it is hooked up with the beard, but with the embargo of steel and oil, the strategic materials used for war in Japan are already insufficient.

Large-scale battles will undoubtedly continue to increase this consumption!

For China, if the 500,000 troops are all destroyed, it will be levyed for another 500,000! If the weapons are gone, just buy them, you will have no money and just take out a loan.

The same old saying: Those with barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes! China is like this anyway, and they like to fight or not!

I can only say that people who can sit in those positions do not have their heads filled with dads, but they still have something to do after all.

Once the attitude is firm, the Japanese are timid!

It was against this background that Masayoshi Yamada and his 231 Infantry Regiment became a rare force in the history of World War II that was surrounded by a battlefield for less than 0.5 square kilometers for a full 73 days.

In fact, there were many surrounded cities in the history of World War II. For example, the Battle of Stalingrad broke out in July 1942. The Germans besieged the city for 8 months. It was also the bloodiest battle in modern history. The casualties between the two sides were estimated to be more than two million people, and more than 600,000 residents died. After the victory, only thousands of residents survived.

For example, the more tragic Leningrad defense battle, known as the most tragic siege in the history of human wars, lasted for more than 900 days, and 640,000 civilians were starved to death...

However, in these two siege battles, the soldiers and civilians were actually sent in. During the eight months after Stalingrad was surrounded, the bears transported 300,000 vehicles of military equipment to the Stalingrad area.

The factories in Stalingrad continued to insist on production, such as the factories in Kirov District only left at most 10 to 15% of the workers, but they produced 5,000 tons of food, 100 tons of mustard oil, 67 tons of soap, 12,000 bottles of mixed fuel, 5,000 military stoves, 1,300 landmines, etc.

Since February 10, the 231 Infantry Regiment has never received even a piece of biscuit supplies.

Their food source can only be freshly grown wild vegetables and bark, as well as those fresh remains!

By the time the Chinese side sent troops to the Japanese position on April 5th, when the Chinese side sent troops to board the Japanese positions, there were almost no living people, and the Japanese army lying in the trenches had no other actions except to stare at them.

They no longer have the strength to pick up the gun!

When the only six remaining prisoners of war were weighed after the war, their average weight was only 57.5 kilograms, which was extremely terrifying. It was an exaggeration to say that they were skinny and bone-bone. They should be said to be almost skeletons.

There are also breathing skeletons that are artificially created!

Its commander, Colonel Yamada Masayoshi, had committed suicide in despair as early as mid-March, and there was no body for identification.

In the eyes of a group of "monkeys" who are about to starve to death and have long become wild animals, all they can eat is food!

The big stick bones covered with trenches and tooth marks made Cai Yongguan, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but sniffing seven Japanese soldiers, and he vomited a lot on the spot.

"Oh my god, as soon as I stepped onto that land, I felt that there were gusts of wind there. Now I think about it, it must be because there are too many unjust dead people." Cai Yongguan couldn't help but turn pale when he thought of that hellish scene.

"Reporter Chen, I'll take a photo. I don't care how much you wash. Just remember to hand over the negatives to me." Tang Dao always had a gentle smile on his face.

Shen Bingyun really wanted to stay away from this gentle and handsome guy. It was him who created this tragic hell by artificially.

Fortunately, he is Chinese!

This may be the greatest blessing of the cruel female reporter when she once again learned what it means to record all this on the battlefield.
