Chapter 841 Multi-grain Noodles
"Minister He, please don't think I'm being disrespectful. I'll take you to the prisoner-of-war camp later. Take a look at what the other Japanese eat, and you'll understand how much respect I'm giving them by giving them potatoes."
Li Shaoyi saw the expression on Minister He's face and knew that the other party felt that the face he gave was a little too little, but compared with other Japanese prisoners, this potato was enough.
"I want to eat the same food as my soldiers and will not accept your gifts."
Before Minister He could say anything, the Japanese major general straightened up.
Li Shaoyi turned around and gave him a look, which meant to say, "Look, he doesn't want the care you give him. As the most heroic general of His Majesty the Emperor, he doesn't need these special treatments. He wants to be treated the same as his own soldiers."
"Hey, that guy? He'll be taken to a prisoner-of-war camp and treated the same as ordinary soldiers."
Now that it has been brought up, if I don't give you this face, then it will be my business.
After receiving Li Shaoyi's order, two guards grabbed one of his shoulders and started dragging him out. The guy didn't even stand up, but fell backwards on the chair, mumbling something, but the two guards couldn't understand him at all and just dragged him out like a dead dog.
"There has been no declaration of war between our two countries. Where will the situation in North China go? It's hard to say now. After all, he is a general of the Japanese army. If..."
Minister He didn't dare to continue speaking, because Li Shaoyi's eyes were murderous at the moment. After all, this was his territory. Others might be concerned about their reputation, but Li Shaoyi probably didn't care so much. This guy has never cared about his reputation since he started doing things until now.
"Someone, find a place to hang this Japanese general at the airport so all the Japanese scouts can see him. Starve him to death over the next few days. Publish it in the newspaper and say I'm using his life to commemorate all the heroes who died on the battlefield since the First Sino-Japanese War."
After Li Shaoyi finished speaking, he sat down to eat, as if the person who was eating just now was not the same person. This rapid change of expression made Minister He dumbfounded.
"Don't you want to leave yourself a way out?"
Minister He also realized that after this incident, Li Shaoyi and the Japanese would become mortal enemies. No matter what decision the Nanjing National Government made, there would be no reconciliation between the 72nd Army and the Japanese.
"You've figured it out. There are only two outcomes between us and the Japanese: either they die or I die. There's no third outcome."
Li Shaoyi finished the meal and wiped his mouth. The Japanese major general outside had been hung up. Because of the injury he had just suffered, blood kept dripping from the wound after being hung up by the rope. It seemed that he could not hold on for long.
"What's going on? Where's the medic? Call him over and give me a simple bandage on the wound. If he doesn't make it to tomorrow night, I'll have you hoisted up."
When Minister He heard Li Shaoyi calling for medical soldiers, he was still wondering. This guy had just spoken to him with certainty, but he turned around and became scared. However, after hearing the following words, he almost spit out the food in his mouth. This behavior was indeed very Li Shaoyi.
The Japanese major general who had just been hung up was slowly put down again. The medical soldiers went up and bandaged him quickly to make sure that there would be no bleeding. Anyway, we just needed to keep him alive until tomorrow night, and we would not take care of the rest.
There was no anesthesia at all, and the bandaging technique was not very good. The guy cried out in pain, but no one in the Japanese POW camp nearby said a word. If it had been before, someone would definitely have stood up and resisted.
But at this moment, everyone had some wounds on their bodies. They had just been taught a lesson by the people of the 72nd Army, and they also understood how painful it was to be hit by those wooden sticks.
Mild cases include redness and swelling, severe cases include fractures...
Moreover, according to the rules of the 72nd Army, you definitely won't be able to work for us after a fracture. We don't have the time to wait for you to recover from your injuries for a hundred days, and then a bullet hits your leg with a big hole next to it. We will just throw you into the hole and let you die in pain.
The reason they weren't shot to death was because, according to Li Shaoyi, these guys who appeared on our land in this era must have had shady hands. If they were killed directly with a single bullet, wouldn't that be too easy for them? So they had to be made to suffer for a while before they died.
Moreover, there were constant howling sounds coming from the big pit. For the Japanese prisoners who were working there, it was also a very vivid educational lesson. If you don't want to stay in the big pit, then you should hurry up and work for us, complete the assigned tasks within the specified time, in exchange for a steamed bun mixed with sand and sawdust.
When the canteen was responsible for making this meal, many people were reluctant to eat it. If they ate this thing, would they be able to poop?
They didn't know the origin of this thing, but Li Shaoyi knew it very well. After the Japanese occupied North China, all Chinese people were not allowed to eat rice and white flour, and could only eat this mixed flour.
Now that the Japanese have not occupied North China yet, let these Japanese prisoners try this mixed noodles first. After eating it, they do feel full, but it is not real food after all, so they don’t have the energy to work and feel dizzy when walking.
Our people have been able to eat it for years, so why can't you have a try?
"Report to the commander, the 26th Division of the Japanese Army has landed in Tangzhou and is now heading towards Tianjin from the northeast."
Li Shaoyi went out for some time and when he returned to the house, he had already heard the news.
The navy's strength is still too weak. I originally thought that if we could control the sea off Tianjin, Japan's troop ships and transport ships would not be very capable. Now it seems that this is far from the case.
The foundation is still too shallow!
"Are there any of our people in that direction?"
While Li Shaoyi was speaking, he also started walking towards the sand table. It was very likely that there were no one from our group there, after all, there were too few of us in Tianjin.
"There are no of our men, but there are two infantry regiments of the 29th Army. Judging by the time, they should be engaging in battle soon."
The operations staff pointed to a location on the sand table.
Fengnan County.
After the Japanese passed through, they were about to enter Tianjin.
"Is this a reorganized division?"
Some things have changed. At least in the old days, there was no 26th Division...
