Chapter 121 Persuade to surrender
Ryuji Ota stood on the side of the road with a little panic, welcoming the arrival of Major General Yukio Koizumi, the head of the division. The arrogance of the morning was no longer in his heart, but fear and uneasiness replaced it.

It stands to reason that Koizumi Yukio, as the commander of the division, does not need to go to the front line to command the battle, he only needs to sit in Ping'an County to command, but he didn't even enter Ping'an County, so he came directly to his regiment headquarters. Are you already dissatisfied with yourself?
Yukio Koizumi is a typical senior Japanese general, who pays attention to not showing his emotions or anger.

At this time, there was no expression on his face, but only those who were familiar with him could tell from his raised eyebrows from time to time that the anger in the head of the division could hardly be suppressed.

"Ota-kun." Yukio Koizumi pointed to the Jingguan on the side of the road all the way to Ping'an County and asked, "Is this the Jingguan built by the Chinese people?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Head of the Division." Ryuji Ota responded, afraid that he would blame himself, and quickly argued: "Your Excellency, Head of the Division, it's not that I didn't take out the remains of these fallen warriors, but that I planned to capture At Qixia Pass, the blood of the Chinese people is used to commemorate the souls of the fallen warriors, that's why these Jingguan are temporarily placed here."

Koizumi Xingfu asked lightly: "Then have you taken Qixia Pass down now? How many Chinese people have you killed or captured?"

"This one……"

Ryuji Ota lowered his head in shame, "Humble and incompetent, not only failed to win the position of the Chinese, but lost an artillery squadron and infantry squadron, please punish me."

"Snapped!"

As soon as Ryuji Ota finished speaking, he was slapped firmly.

This slap was extremely strong, Ota Ryuji's face immediately swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, but Ota Ryuji still stood upright.

"You're an idiot."

Koizumi Koizumi said every word, and the cold voice came out of his mouth, "Didn't you read the telegram I sent just now? Wait for the opportunity to launch an attack, and if you can't do it, immediately retreat, and wait until the large army arrives before attacking." .

But how did you do it? You lost two squadrons and four precious infantry guns in less than two hours. How did you become the captain of the regiment? "

"Hey... I'm really sorry, Your Excellency, Division Chief, I was wrong!"

Ryuji Ota didn't defend himself, he just apologized again and again, while Yukio Koizumi responded with another slap in the face.

In the film and television dramas of later generations, it is often seen that Japanese military officers slap soldiers, and these soldiers just keep bowing their heads and saying "hi", which is a true portrayal of this situation.

Don't think this is fake.

The Japanese Army has a very peculiar tradition, that is, they like to slap their ears from top to bottom, and the reasons for slapping are also various. The reason may be just a trivial matter, such as the walking posture is a bit ugly, which affects the image, and the clothes are not enough. Small matters such as flattening, dropping rice grains on the ground while eating, etc., may be punished.

Of course, for the Japanese army, slapping is actually a very light punishment, and slapping is generally only prevalent in the army, but Japanese naval officers rarely slap soldiers.

Of course, this is not to say that the navy is more civilized than the army, but that the Japanese navy punishes soldiers more severely. They use a punishment method called "spiritual injection stick" to be called abnormal.

Japanese naval officers often hold a wooden stick, which is generally about 50 centimeters long and of varying thickness, with words written on it. Once the Japanese soldiers are punished, they need to make the punished stick their ass up and open their hands. Open, the whole person is like a big character. It is said that people who are generally punished cannot move around for six or seven days after being sentenced!
After five or six slaps in a row, Koizumi Yukio was probably tired from the beating, so he gave up and said coldly: "Before dark tonight, your alliance will take out the remains of all the empire warriors and cremate them. Tomorrow you will personally Command the 67th Wing to launch an attack, understand?"

"Hi!"

Ryuji Ota answered loudly, and then asked with some doubts: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is only noon now. We only need to wait until the field artillery unit arrives and arrange the artillery positions before we can attack again. Why wait until tomorrow?"

"You do not understand."

Koizumi Yukio shook his head, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard: "We always have to give the Chinese man on the opposite side a chance."

He turned his head to Ogiwara Toda Osamu, the chief of staff behind him, and said, "Ogiwara-kun, start recording."

Ogiwara Toda hurriedly took out a notebook and pencil from his pocket. On the opposite side, General Gao Hongming, the commander of the garrison of China, and himself Yukio Koizumi, commander of the 41st Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, was ordered by Commander Shinozuka Yoshio to be hostile to him. The Chinese army launched a conquest operation.

The purpose is to establish a *** circle. Although you and I are now in the hostile camp, I appreciate your heroic actions.

If you are willing to lead your troops to surrender, I will guarantee the safety of your life and property in the name of the head of the division, and I am willing to report to the headquarters to appoint you as the major general and division commander of the Nanjing Nationalist Government.

Your Excellency should be able to see the current situation in China very clearly, the Great Japanese Empire will surely win.

I hope that the general will make his own efforts to promote the same language and same species in East Asia, and refrain from unnecessary resistance.

If the general insists on resisting needlessly, I will have no choice but to order the imperial army to attack. At that time, the people in Shanxi, including your Excellency, will be devastated. I don't want to see it.

Speaking of this, Yukio Koizumi asked Ogiwara Toda to bring the notebook over, checked it quickly and signed his name, and then asked Ogiwara Toda to send it out in the form of an electrification.

After Ogiwara Toda left, Ryuji Ota asked a little unwillingly: "Your Excellency, Commander, if that Gao Hongming really led his troops to surrender, do we really want to appoint him as a major general? You must know that he killed countless imperial warriors." Murderer!"

Koizumi Xingfu smiled: "Do you think that a Chinese who killed so many imperial warriors can still serve as a major general?"

"Wow..." Ota Ryuji suddenly realized that Koizumi Koizumi was planning to lure him to surrender first, and then slowly process the opponent.

"Yoxi...Your Excellency, Division Commander, is really too tall!"

Ryuji Ota gave a thumbs up. Although he was very reluctant, he had to admit that Gao Hongming's militia was the most tenacious opponent he had encountered since he entered China, especially the excellent equipment of his troops, which he had never seen in his life.

If you really want to attack by force, even if you can eliminate the opponent, the 41st Division will pay a heavy price. Wouldn't it be better if you can eradicate the opponent without bloodshed?
