So, Lieutenant General Uemura thought he could easily wait for three days in Siping for the return of the 63rd Division, but in fact he only stayed for less than three hours.

What made Nagai Uemura even more unbearable is that... He and his command were about to retreat, but suddenly broke into several tanks and half-tracked armored vehicles to surround his command.

The Chinese team set up scouts in Siping in advance, and Siping City has no city walls. It is a city that is spread out from the market... It is located at the junction of several provinces, especially the place where eastern Mongolia is necessary to enter the south. Therefore, there are naturally many people from different ethnic groups here to communicate with each other: the Mongolians have fur in their hands, the Northeast people have grains in their hands, and because the Siping terrain is flat and open, they get used to trading here. Over time, more and more people live here, and now it has expanded to a scale of more than 100,000 people.

This unique historical exhibition makes the structure of Siping City very simple... It is a railway that passes through the city, with the road west on the left and the road east on the right (Note: modern is Tiexi District, Tiedong District), which is also the reason why Siping is also called "Siping Street".

So the Chinese team easily found the command center where Lieutenant General Uemura was under the guidance of the scouts and surrounded them with two "Stuart" tanks and more than ten semi-tracked vehicles... There were originally two teams of Japanese troops defending them, but they were not the opponents of the Chinese team armed to their teeth. They all fell into a pool of blood after a charge.

Then the soldiers pointed the muzzles and guns at the three-story western-style building in front of them, and shouted at it: "Mao Laolu, alas La Corus! (Japanese: Surrender, you won't kill the gun!")"

After a while, there was no movement inside. When the soldiers were about to rush in, they heard a few "bang" gunshots coming from inside, and then there were "wow" screams.

The soldiers said a few Japanese sentences in Japanese according to the Japanese sound rote memorization, and now they were confused when they heard the quarrels... No one could understand what was born in it.

"Company Commander!" One soldier asked, "Why would you just rush in..."

"Wait a little longer!" the company commander replied: "Look at the situation before talking about it!"

The facts proved that the company commander was right. After a while, a white flag was stretched out from the command center, and then a stiff voice shouted: "Don't shoot, we surrender!"

When these Japanese soldiers came out, the soldiers laughed... Lieutenant General Uemura was tied up like a sprite and was carried out by the Japanese officer. Needless to say, Lieutenant General Uemura was definitely unwilling to surrender and wanted to make a shattered man, but his subordinates refused, so there was a next scene.

In fact... this killing operation did not make much sense.

At least in Zhang Chi's eyes, this is... From the perspective of the battlefield, the slashing operation either paralyzes its command system and puts its troops in a state of unmanned chaos, or wants to get some valuable information from this big fish.

However, before Lieutenant General Umura's command post was removed, the Japanese army was actually in chaos without command, and Zhang Chi got enough information from the reconnaissance force, so Lieutenant General Umura didn't care whether there was or nothing, and at the same time, it didn't care whether there was or nothing, whether it was alive or not.

However, it is a good thing to capture the people alive and to capture them alive with their staff. This can hit the morale of other Japanese troops to a certain extent, especially the puppet army... When the puppet army heard this news, they would think: Look, all the Japanese lieutenant generals surrendered, why can't we surrender?

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi immediately asked Staff Liang to deal with the matter.

As for the specific method of handling it, it is to add fuel to the fire of Uemura's surrender through the Japanese radio station. In addition, it can also secretly disperse flyers through the plane and the scouts... The radio station can interfere, but disperse flyers are hard to guard against.

The Battle of Siping ended almost perfectly, and the Chinese team defeated a Japanese division with only more than 500 casualties.

The deaths and injuries of the Japanese army were almost impossible to count, the bodies were all over the ground, and the surrendered wounded were piled up, which caused some trouble to the expeditionary army... How to resettle these casualties of the Japanese army?

Zhang Chi did not consider this. You should know that in the past, when fighting on the Pacific battlefield, there were basically no prisoners after a battle, but now there were at least two or three thousand prisoners in the four-platoon battle, plus the puppet troops and the personnel who maintained public order, there were five or six thousand people... The puppet troops suffered heavy casualties in this battle. They were forced to stand on the front line by the Japanese army. When the expeditionary army faced them, they could only fight to the death... This is the reality of the battlefield. If you accidentally die, no one dared to be kind to the enemy holding a gun in your hand. Even if you know that they are Chinese and may be forced to go to the battlefield.

If this is at other times, it would be easy, just take these prisoners back.

But the problem is... the Expeditionary Force is now fighting a "blitzkrieg". Blitzkrieg focuses on speed, and the New First Division is also a vanguard of combat. It sends troops to take prisoners of this scale of five or six thousand people back. How much strength is there to waste time!

In the end, this problem was solved smoothly... The scout lurking in Siping was Yuan Hongli. During this period, he organized a team of more than 200 people. At this time, with a wave of the flag, thousands of people soon responded (the total number of people in Siping was only more than 100,000, and after the Japanese army requisitioned a large number of young and strong laborers, it was already quite good to have thousands of people responded.)

Then, Yuan Hongli put the weapons he had taken from the Japanese army into their hands... Such a team might not be able to fight, but it was more than enough to keep the prisoners.

The only drawback is that there is a Japanese military airport north of Siping... Siping is flat and wide, and it is a good place to build an airport, and it is also a transportation hub, so the Japanese will naturally not let it go.

When the airport was seized, the Japanese army ignited the gasoline, so a chain explosion sounded quickly at the airport... This made Zhang Chi feel distressed. If he could get the fuel from the airport, he would not know how much logistics pressure could be relieved of the Expeditionary Force.

However, it seems difficult to do this, because lighting fuel seems to be something that can be done by just scratching a match. Even with modern special forces, it is probably difficult to guarantee that it can be obtained. Thinking of this, Zhang Chi felt balanced.

Next... Zhang Chi looked at the map and it was time to ask the Americans for some more fighter planes.
