Chapter 325

: Captives (please give me monthly votes!)

"Suzhou Province Luzhan's Love Secret No. 335:

It is recommended to establish different prisoners of war camps for the captured Japanese army. The prisoners of war are identified and classified: 1. Release some prisoners of war at the appropriate time, but they are required to sign and ensure that they will not fight against China in the future; 2. Send prisoners into coal mines and engage in coal mining; 3. The prisoners are managed by Korean soldiers for the prisoners' camps, and the Koreans' hostility towards the Japanese are used to divide the prisoners' camps; 4. The Japanese officers and soldiers who expressed their willingness to cooperate with China are organized into a special army, and are trained and managed in a concentrated manner for future use. Of course, their files need to be extracted from the prisoners' files..."

captive!

It refers to soldiers who are captured alive by the other party in all parties in the war.

In Eastern culture, prisoners of war are often regarded as greedy and fearless people, and those who live in vain. In Eastern culture, what is respected is soldiers who die on the battlefield or commit suicide due to defeat. This culture has influenced Eastern civilization for thousands of years, but even so, in any war, soldiers are inevitably captured by the enemy and become prisoners of war.

captive!

It is not limited to enemies captured on the battlefield. Among the prisoners of war, some were forced to surrender, some were captured, and of course some were voluntarily surrendered.

Every day, a few Japanese officers and soldiers who were eager to survive took advantage of the night to escape to the position of the Central Team. They chose to surrender. Although they knew that the price of doing so was that the entire family was shamed by his personal behavior, they were hungry and cold and could no longer care about the so-called military honors and family honors. For them, there was nothing more important than living.

"I surrender!"

When the gunshot fell, a shout sounded from the crater. Then two Japanese soldiers walked over with their hands raised, aiming the black muzzle at them. With the aim of the muzzle, they walked towards the trench of the Central Team. Then, after they entered the trench, they were still greeted by the black muzzle.

"Number!"

"Name!"

In the trenches, after brief interrogation by Japanese officers, the prisoners of war who voluntarily surrendered were dismissed to the rear, and they were classified and identified again in the rear. After the classification and identification, these prisoners of war were sent to various prisoners of war camps, and often these prisoners of war who voluntarily surrendered would receive better treatment. For most prisoners of war, the prison camp was just a place that made them deeply engraved.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers lined up in front of a small coal mine that had just been restarted, standing in the snow, fighting the new rules of coming to this new camp with silence. Two days ago, the Chinese Central Army troops guarding them handed them over to the Jiangsu Army, and that is, from then on, their good days are over, and they are now working in the coal mine.

"We are the great Japanese emperors, and His Majesty the Emperor will never give up on us! Even in the prison camp, we must stand here upright and never be underestimated by those who are underestimating us!"

At this moment, I saw only a Korean man carrying the Korean Daji flag on his cotton coat rushed over with a wooden stick and knocked the colonel to the ground with one stick. The colonel who was lying in a pool of blood kept gushing with blood, and his limbs kept twitching, spitting at the colonel who was lying in a pool of blood. He carried the bloody wooden stick, Kim Hoze looked at the Japanese soldiers in front of him.

"My name is Jin Haoze. I am the third prisoner of war management camp. Don't think that the great Chinese people can passively slacken with you if they are magnanimous to you. I will never tolerate anyone's slackening. Any resistance will never tolerate it. Let's shout with me!"

With his hands raising towards the air, a roar burst out from Jin Haoze's voice.

"Long live the Greater Republic of China!"

Except for hundreds of North Korean soldiers, no Japanese followed suit. Li Rutao, who was standing in the office room in the distance, frowned slightly, but did not show any attitude. In fact, even in the playground of the prisoner-of-war camp, there was no even a single person standing on the tower with rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns.

He has appointed the management of prisoners of war camps to the Koreans, who are responsible for their management. He makes full use of the Koreans' hostility and hatred towards the Japanese to destroy the will of those Japanese. After taking over the management of prisoners of war from the Central Army, Li Rutao has been planning how to disintegrate, destroy the will of these Japanese, and ultimately let them use it for China.

Among the more than 4,000 Japanese prisoners rescued from the coast of Lianyungang, more than half have chosen to cooperate. People's will is far from as strong as they imagined. The pressure and environment are enough to destroy everyone's will.

Just when Jin Haoze felt anger in his heart, he didn't know who said loudly in the team:

"Let's worship the Emperor to Tokyo!"

As soon as the man's voice fell, the Japanese soldiers who were originally standing in the open space immediately turned around and worshiped the eastward in the direction of the sun rising, then shouted "Long live the Emperor" and then sang the national anthem. At this time, many Japanese soldiers shed tears. They even decided to grit their teeth and overcome difficulties, return to Japan, and reunite with their parents, brothers and sisters, lovers, and children.

"Blow, beat hard!"

Kim Hoze's eyes turned red and he rushed over with a wooden stick. When more than 500 Korean prisoners were sent over with sticks, the machine gunners on the tower immediately set up machine guns to aim at the Japanese prisoners of war in the open space.

"Rust! If a riot occurs, reasonable suppression is necessary!"

Seeing the Koreans rushing into the middle of the prisoners of war, wielding their sticks and fighting with the Japanese prisoners of war, Li Rutao lowered the blinds on the window. After a while, he heard the gunshots. The soldiers in charge had already received orders and aimed at the Japanese when the "riot" occurred.

"Bare them to death!"

Jin Haoze, who was ruthless, shouted loudly, and at this time, bullets were kept firing from the tower, and one Japanese prisoner after another was killed in the snow. Finally, the Japanese soldiers gave up the resistance, while the Koreans holding the sticks were waving their sticks to beat the Japanese soldiers squatting on the ground.

More than ten minutes later, Jin Haoze stood on the stage again.

"Next, shout with me! Long live the Greater Republic of China!"

Indecisive, Nishize raised his hands into the air.

“Greater Republic of China’s class…”

One, two, three, and finally the shouts formed a ball. At this time, Jin Haoze looked at the office of the chief in the distance with satisfaction. When he saw the figure behind the blinds, his face was full of charming smiles.

"In the face of a reprimand, 99 people will retreat!"

Listening to the shouts from outside the window, Li Rutao muttered softly, but in front of him, there were dozens of documents, which were the information of the officers he selected and the Japanese officers. The reason why they picked out their information was very simple, that they might choose to cooperate with China.

And now, they must see the benefits of cooperation!

"Damn Korean!"

In the dim coal mine cave, Xize heard everyone's complaints.

In the prisoner-of-war camp, the captured North Korean soldiers were managed. It was not the Chinese who did this deliberately, but the captured North Korean soldiers chose to cooperate with the Chinese. Their active cooperation made the Chinese choose to hand over the management of the prisoner-of-war camp to them. The North Koreans used wooden sticks to show their loyalty. They were very happy to do this. On the one hand, they could express their loyalty to the new owner, and on the other hand, they could use this to vent the anger that had been accumulated in their hearts in the past.

In order to complete the coal mining task, the North Koreans could kill a prisoner of war with wooden sticks or deduct their food. For all this, the Chinese prisoner-of-war camp officer seemed to turn a blind eye, perhaps just as the Chinese official said.

"I don't care what's going on here. According to the corresponding treaty, I will hand over the management of the prisoner-of-war camp to you. As for what unpleasant things happen between you, that's your problem. I only care about two things. The first is the order of the prisoner-of-war camp, and the second is the output of coal mines!"

In the dim coal mine cave, Japanese prisoners carrying coal baskets kept carrying coal on the ground. Whenever a person carried a basket of coal to the ground, he would get a bamboo stick before he returned to the ground, and they used the small bamboo sticks to exchange for the food for the day.

A mixed bun, a bowl of "cabbage soup" that can reveal a human figure but cannot see cabbage. This is their food. Goto looked at his own food and then at the Koreans. He even saw meat in their bowls. Today they were eating chicken!

How great it would be if they were like them!

"for you!"

He directly stuffed the mixed buns and cabbage soup in his hand to the military doctor Xize. Goto, covered in coal ash, walked towards the wooden house. When he entered the coal mine, the official of the Central Government once told them that everyone had a chance, and a choice of choice, whether to choose cooperation or confrontation.

"My name is Goto Eichi, and I am the Army Chief!"

Goto, covered in coal ash, stood attentively in front of the Chinese commander and said.

"I am willing to surrender to the Chinese team, surrender completely, and tell me all the information I have. I am the orderly soldier of the corps captain..."

Listening to the so-called intelligence, Li Rutao was not very interested. How much intelligence can a serviceman possess? But he was the first Japanese soldier to give up his dignity.

"So, are you willing to run a task force?"

"Sir?"

"What would you do if you were asked to manage a task force and they didn't finish the work quantification?"

Li Rutao asked back, the reason why the Intelligence Department of the General Staff opened up to four small coal mines from Huaibei was not to dig coal, but to use coal mining to choose Japanese people and choose Japanese people who are willing to cooperate with China.

"I, I will make a plan, and then divide the physical constitution of the team members. The worst physical strength will be divided to the last one, and then the labor distribution will be carried out. If the work is not completed on the same day, I will first hit everyone, and then the deputy captain will beat everyone. They will then sort according to their physical constitution and fight one by one until the end, the worst physical constitution will be beaten to death. The next day, this food with the worst physical strength will be rewarded to the best physical constitution..."

Goto directly made a way to beat ordinary soldiers when he was in the army, but Li Rutao smiled slightly and finally asked back.

"What can you do to make those soldiers choose to cooperate with us like you?"

"Road!"

Looking at the intelligence officer in front of him, Nakamura calmly spoke out two words. Nakamura, who had been rescued for nearly 48 hours, had already made up his mind before he was rescued that as long as he could survive, he was willing to pay all the price and sacrifice everything for it.

When he was rescued, he almost burst into tears. In the prisoner-of-war camp, he took the initiative to cooperate with the Chinese to manage the prisoner-of-war camp. In order to please the Chinese, he even killed his former colleagues and friends with his own hands. In short, in his opinion, nothing is more important than living!

"Everyone may be able to be brave for a while and choose to sacrifice himself for the emperor, but long-term waiting, especially waiting for death, will make everyone despair. Despair will destroy their will. At this time, timely actions will make them choose to give up and give up everything they have ever been. As long as they can survive, they are willing to do anything!"

Nakamura answered truthfully, in return for the nod of the unknown official in front of him. The officer looked at Nakamura, then looked at the information in his hand. After he signaled Nakamura to leave, he checked the files on Nakamura's file.

"We do not agree to hold a prisoner exchange now, but to express our sincerity, we hope that China will accept the suggestion of exchanging food for Chinese prisoners of war."

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building of the Beijing Forest, Kikujiro Ishii directly refused the request to exchange prisoners of war. The Tokyo Army General Staff had a very clear attitude towards prisoners of war. If possible, they did not even want prisoners of war to return to their country. The best result was that all prisoners of war died in China.

For Japan, it is a shame to live captured Japanese soldiers. It is absolutely impossible to exchange Chinese prisoners of war for Japanese prisoners of war. Compared to exchange prisoners of war, they prefer to exchange captured Chinese soldiers for food. As for the life and death of captured Japanese officers and soldiers, they do not care, nor do they have the intention to care.

"How much food is exchanged for a prisoner?"

Since the clause for exchanging prisoners of war was proposed by the Huaihai Strategic Envoy Office, and now the prisoner is a Jiangsu Army officer and soldier, the negotiation of this clause is mainly based on Gu Weijun.

"100 dan of food is exchanged for one prisoner!"

Ishii Lion said with a big mouth, 100 dan of food! This is the amount of food required by Tokyo based on the number of grain needed by the First Army in Jiaoao. Now the First Army has captured a total of 362 Chinese prisoners. With these 36,000 dans of food, it can at least ensure the first army's food supply within the next month and a half.

Even if it was a bargaining, it should be possible... When Ishii was about to bargain, he heard Gu Weijun say bluntly.

"Sixty dans, if you agree, you can exchange prisoners at any time!"

The instructions accepted by Gu Weijun were very clear, and the Jiangsu Army officers and soldiers who were captured by the Japanese army must be exchanged at any cost. Therefore, he did not insist too much on this detail.

"Okay, no problem!"

Sixty dans are definitely beyond Ishii's expectations. In his opinion, one hundred dans are just a price. If you can reach fifty dans, Tokyo will be very satisfied, let alone sixty dans. He has not even thought about it carefully, as if he was afraid that the other party would change his mind.

The unexpected success only made Ishii full of confidence in the subsequent negotiations, but just in this way, he heard Gu Weijun continue to say.

"If your First Army is willing to help us find the bones of the missing officers and soldiers of our Jiangsu Army, we are willing to exchange the bones of the missing officers and soldiers at the same cost of 60 pounds of food!"

Gu Weijun's proposal not only exceeded the expectations of the Japanese representatives, but also exceeded the expectations of the Chinese price. Even Zhuerdian, Kant, Rui Enshi and others seemed to be equally incredible. They clearly knew the price of a load of grain, which means they were buying from the Japanese army at a price of hundreds of yuan per skeleton.

At first, Gu Weijun also could not understand why the manager specially generated electricity and mentioned the bones of missing officers and soldiers. In fact, after the battle started, hundreds of officers and soldiers disappeared while performing reconnaissance behind enemy lines, only the Japanese could control the whereabouts of their remains.

"Soldiers serve their lives to the country, and the country returns with the highest respect!"

The sentence in the telegram of the Strategy Officer touched Gu Weijun's mind. The horse and the corpse were wrapped in horses and the soldiers who died could return to their hometowns was a responsibility and obligation that the country could not refuse.

"Never abandon your robes!"

This is one of the creeds of the Jiangsu Army. Gu Weijun knew clearly that when prisoners and bone exchanges were on the battlefield, when the Jiangsu Army officers and soldiers witnessed that scene, they would integrate deeper into that group, that group that would never abandon any charisma. From then on, every Jiangsu Army officer and soldier would remember one thing--they would never be abandoned!

The negotiations will soon reach an agreement. Jiangsu exchanges prisoners for Japan with food. Although the war ceasefire has not yet been realized at this time, it is still waiting for "the consensus between the central government and the local government". After the negotiations, Kikujiro Ishii, the nephew, was captured by the Chinese army in the Jiaoao battlefield, asked unexpectedly when Gu Weijun loaded the documents into the folder.

"Mr. Gu, can you tell me why you are willing to spend such a high price to exchange for those soldiers who cannot be defeated and committed suicide? And..."

Ishii's dialect, who originally wanted to say "skeletons" that were worthless, changed his mouth when he spoke.

"Soldier's skeleton."

Ishii's words also attracted the attention of Lu Zhengxiang, Zhu Erdian, Kant, and Rui Enshi. They all raised their ears and waited for Gu Weijun's answer.

"We will not abandon any soldier because they are fighting for their own country!"
