Half an hour later, the Yunnan Army soldiers followed some police officers to check all the surrounding houses. After confirming that there were no ordinary people there, they reported to Long Yingyuan.
Long Yingyuan found a soldier who was proficient in Japanese and shouted into the yard, urging the Japanese troops to come out and surrender.
The squadron leader and the soldiers in the advancing team were very depressed. They did not expect that they would be made dumplings before they launched a surprise attack on the enemy. Although the squadron leader is not afraid of death, he also feels a little regretful, because he really hopes to meet the legendary Xu Dalong in person, but now it seems that he will never have this opportunity again.
Shan Yuan was even more depressed, and he hated the idiot squadron leader very much. If he hadn't insisted on sneak attack on Xu Dalong, he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation. Now, it's great. Not only has the entire advancing team been brought in, but I have also become a turtle in the urn. Shan Yuan knew that he would not be spared. He was unwilling to let it go and wanted to fight to the death.
After hearing the shouting outside, he suddenly had an idea and said to the squadron leader: "Shimada-kun, hurry up and find some soldiers with good marksmanship. I will create opportunities for you to kill the evil thief Xu Dalong."
The squadron leader was regretting that he had no chance to attack Xu Dalong. After hearing what Shan Yuan said, he immediately called the five soldiers with the best marksmanship in the squadron and asked them to prepare secretly.
When Yamahara saw the Japanese soldiers getting ready to snipe, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "People outside, listen, if you want us to surrender, you must agree to our conditions."
Long Yingyuan smiled contemptuously and said: "Damn you little devils, you are not qualified to negotiate terms. Only by surrendering unconditionally will it be possible to spare your lives."
The soldiers who knew Japanese translated Long Yingyuan's words.
Shan Yuan said: "People outside, listen, the soldiers of the Yellow Army of our big island country are brave and fearless, and are not afraid of death. If you don't agree to our conditions, just come and attack us. Even if we are all broken, we can at least eliminate them." There are hundreds of you soldiers. For the safety of your soldiers, I advise you to agree.
The conditions we proposed are..."
Shan Yuan's words really had an effect. Not only Long Yingyuan, but also the soldiers of the Yunnan Army and Guo Army around him were also a little worried about their combat effectiveness against the Japanese army. They knew that if they attacked forcefully, they would definitely cause a lot of casualties. So everyone hesitated.
Long Yingyuan thought for a while and then said: "What are their conditions?"
The soldier translated Long Yingyuan's words again.
Yamahara said: "My heroic Yellow Army of the island country is not afraid of you, but because it is outnumbered. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties of soldiers, we can surrender to you, but we must maintain our dignity. We are willing to hold a surrender ceremony and formally surrender to you. Surrender and surrender."
The other party responded quickly and said yes.
Yamahara continued: "After our army surrenders, our soldiers must not be humiliated personally. Except for weapons, personal property must not be confiscated. Our soldiers must be allowed to write letters home to report that they are safe..."
Yamahara talked a lot, not to mention that the anti-Japanese officers and soldiers outside were impatient, even the Japanese soldiers frowned.
Shan Yuan didn't take it seriously. He did it deliberately, just to make the other party believe that he really meant to surrender.
Long Yingyuan listened to Shan Yuan's words for a long time and felt that it was no big deal, just trivial matters. He decided to agree. After all, it would be a very honorable thing to get hundreds of Japanese soldiers to surrender. These are not conditions. Conditions, why not agree to them? So he asked the soldiers to shout and agree to Shan Yuan's conditions.
The squadron leader was a little impatient with Shan Yuan's actions. He asked: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Yamahara said: "Inform your soldiers to prepare for sniping."
After saying that, he shouted outside again: "People on the other side, listen, I know that your commander is Mr. Xu Dalong, the famous Chinese God of War. I heard that he is a man of his word. Even if you agree to the conditions we just put forward, But we still can’t believe it, unless Mr. Xu Dalong personally promises us, we will believe it.”
Not only the squadron leader, but also the soldiers who were lying in ambush understood this. They quickly held their guns attentively, prepared for sniping, and waited for Xu Dalong to appear.
Hearing that Xu Dalong was asked to come forward to answer the other party's conditions, Long Yingyuan couldn't help but frowned. Although they have a fake Xu Dalong here, he is a little unsure how Xu Dalong should respond to such a thing. After all, this matter involves Xu Dalong's reputation. As a friend, Long Yingyuan respected Xu Dalong very much and did not want him to be criticized in any way.
While he was hesitating, Xiao Yiming, the leader of the military unification working group standing next to him, noticed something was wrong and said: "Mr. Long, the little devil insists on letting Chief Xu come forward to answer them. I'm afraid there is a conspiracy."
His words reminded Long Yingyuan, and after thinking about it, he sent someone to call the soldier pretending to be Xu Dalong, and said to him: "Inform yourself and see what the other party has to say."
The soldier responded, then took a few steps forward and stood in front of the car lights, exposing his figure. He said: "Listen, little devils, grandpa, I am Xu Dalong."
"Bang bang bang," as soon as he finished speaking, a row of bullets was fired from the opposite side. The Japanese army's marksmanship was very accurate, not to mention the selected sharpshooters. This place was less than 100 meters away from them. The Japanese soldiers fired all bullets, and all the bullets hit the fake Xu Dalong's chest. He spit out a mouthful of blood and fell down without making a sound.
Many of the surrounding Yunnan officers and soldiers did not know that it was the fake Xu Dalong who died. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but exclaimed.
The squadron leader, Shan Yuan and the Japanese soldiers responsible for sniping thought they had really killed Xu Dalong. They were all excited and excited, and couldn't help but cheer.
Xiao Yiming cursed angrily: "These damn little devils are really plotting."
Long Yingyuan was so angry that he yelled: "Damn little devil, since you are so shameless, you must die. Now attack immediately."
Following his order, the officers and soldiers of the surrounding Yunnan Army and Guo Army opened fire violently at the Japanese army. In addition to machine guns and rifles, many artillery pieces were also pulled in and fired towards the yard where the Japanese troops were hiding.
The squadron leader was very experienced. He knew that his men did not carry much ammunition and could not last long. He hoped to use these ammunition to eliminate more enemies and pull a few more backs before dying. So when the enemy was shooting, he did not give the order to fight back. Instead, he asked everyone to use the terrain to hide, waiting for the enemy to charge, and then fire back violently.
Long Yingyuan was not stupid. When he saw that the Japanese army did not fight back, he guessed their intentions. In order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, he ordered the troops to use machine guns and rifles to suppress the enemy's firepower, and to continuously fire artillery shells into the yard.
Among these artillery pieces, there are many mountain guns, which can be aimed directly at such a close distance. The shells will hit the walls and continuously destroy the houses in the yard. Even though the Japanese soldiers were hiding, they were still suffering casualties from the violent shell explosions.
The squadron leader did not expect that the opponent was so afraid of death that he did not send soldiers to attack, but did not waste artillery shells and kept shelling. He knew very well that if the fight continued like this, sooner or later all his people would be wiped out. Finally he couldn't hold it any longer and ordered the soldiers to fight back.
Long Yingyuan had made up his mind and ordered the soldiers not to attack, but to surround the enemy and prevent them from leaving. He would wait until daybreak to see the situation clearly before launching an attack to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of the chaos at night to escape.
He still used the old tactics, using machine guns and rifles to blockade, and using artillery to continue bombing.
The squadron leader also saw through Long Yingyuan's thoughts and knew that if this continued, the advancing team would be completely doomed. Rather than being beaten to death in vain, it would be better to fight to the death and die a heroic death. He issued an order for the surviving soldiers to move closer to him, and ordered the grenade launcher to fire grenades, knocking out a heavy machine gun and a light machine gun from the enemy on the opposite side. Taking advantage of the weakening of the enemy's firepower, he jumped suddenly He stood up and shouted loudly: "Brave soldiers of the Yellow Army, the time has come for Tian Huang Bixia to show up, attack!"
He roared, waving his command knife and charging forward. The soldiers also carried rifles with bayonets in their hands, screaming strangely, and rushed out together.
Under the bright car headlights, the figures of the Japanese soldiers were clearly exposed. Facing such a living target, the soldiers of the Yunnan Army and the Fruit Army were very happy, and they fired fiercely without any politeness.
The squadron leader rushed out of the broken wall. He had just run a few meters when he was hit by seven or eight bullets and fell to the ground. The soldiers under him were also beaten into sieves one after another.
However, these Japanese soldiers were not afraid of death. Those in front fell down, while those behind continued to rush forward until there was no one left standing.
Long Yingyuan was very careful. He believed that there was no need to cause unnecessary sacrifices. Therefore, although he had seen all the Japanese officers and soldiers killed, he still did not order an attack, but continued to adopt siege tactics. He would wait until daybreak before sending someone in to check.
It finally dawned. A Yunnan Army squad leader and two soldiers carefully walked past the corpses of enemy soldiers lying on the ground and entered the dilapidated courtyard.
Soon after, they shouted excitedly, saying that all the Japanese inside were dead. Only then, under the protection of the guards, did Long Yingyuan enter the yard to check.
Long Yingyuan saw that in addition to the Japanese corpses lying outside the yard, there were many corpses of Japanese soldiers who had been mutilated by bombings in the yard. Unlike other Japanese soldiers, one guy was not killed by bullets or shells, but committed suicide by caesarean section in a dilapidated house.
This person is Yamahara, the new leader of the Japanese intelligence team. He does not want to be a prisoner. No party will be soft on the enemy's spies. After being caught by the other party, not only will they not be able to survive, but they will also be tortured a lot. Yamahara didn't want to do this, and he didn't want to be unable to bear it and betray other members of his group. So he decided to commit suicide by caesarean section.
Long Yingyuan sent a telegram to Xu Dalong about what happened in Yangon. After Xu Dalong received the telegram, he did not feel happy, but knew that a difficult moment was coming.
Xu Dalong's judgment was correct. The fake Xu Dalong was beaten to death. Those who didn't know the truth thought that Xu Dalong was really dead. This incident immediately caused an uproar.
Both Long Yingyuan and the military unification working group knew that the impact of this incident was very bad. If the rumor spread, it would definitely severely damage the morale of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. Therefore, they urgently refuted the rumors and told the truth. When everyone knew that the fake Xu Dalong died, they were relieved.
However, this news alerted the ears of those members of the Japanese spy team who had not been caught, and they realized that the Japanese army had been fooled. Since the fake Xu Dalong appears here, then the Mr. Chen who is with him must also be fake. Since these two people are fake, it is not difficult to guess the whereabouts of the real Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen.
So they quickly reported the news to Section Chief Tanaka. After Tanaka got the news, he forwarded it to Colonel Takakura.
After hearing this, Gao Cang was frustrated and angry. Frustrated that he had hooked up with the squadron leader and the most elite soldiers of the advance team in vain, angry that Xu Dalong actually played such a trick on him and made him fall into a bad trap.
Gao Cang vowed to catch Xu Dalong and humiliate him in person. Like Tanaka, he also judged that Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen should have entered Malaysia.
They then reported the matter to Kawamoto, the commander of the Fifth Division, and asked him to order the closure of the borders between Malaysia, Thailand and Myanmar to prevent Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen from escaping from Malaysia. Then notify all Japanese troops, Huang Xiejun, the puppet police, and the puppet local maintenance committee in Malaysia to search for Xu Dalong and others who have sneaked into Malaysia.
In order to make it easier to find Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen, Tianzhong urgently printed a large number of photos of Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen. It's very easy to get photos of the two of them. They are in the newspapers and you can just copy them.
A lot of photos were posted. In Malaysia, there are at least 100,000 Japanese and puppet personnel who can recognize Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen. It became very difficult for Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen to get through.
After setting up a large number of informants, Gao Cang and Tanaka anxiously awaited the news. Soon they got an important clue, saying that in the Yuanshan Town area at the eastern foot of Mangshan Mountain, a large hole was torn out in a fence wall, two Japanese strongholds were removed, and all the soldiers inside were killed by cold weapons.
The enemy was able to kill the Japanese and puppet personnel in the two gun towers silently. Needless to say, such terrifying combat effectiveness was the special forces team under Xu Dalong. With this clue, both Gao Cang and Tanaka felt like they had found a treasure, and immediately mobilized their troops and ordered them to encircle Yuanshan Town. Gao Cang himself also led the team to rush over.
