Today, the areas around Xiangcheng are indeed threatened by the Japanese army, and even the waterways are blocked by their Japanese ships.
Although it did not lead to a complete food shortage in Xiangcheng, it greatly reduced Xiangcheng's transportation and supply channels, which is undoubtedly undisputed.
If someone said that there was still a lot of food in Xiangcheng City at this time, Yamawaki Masahiro would definitely not believe it.
Therefore, Shen Yutang proposed to release all the Chinese civilian prisoners and let them enter Xiangcheng City to consume the food of the Yi Party defenders.
As soon as this idea was put forward, it was affirmed by Yamawaki Masahiro.
These Chinese prisoners were all civilians of the Communist Party. During their captivity, they lacked food and clothing. Many of them were starving and some even fell ill.
Would the Yidang army watch them starve to death or die of disease?
If the Kuomintang army really didn't care about the lives of tens of thousands of civilians, what kind of blow would that be to the morale of the Kuomintang army?!
After weighing the pros and cons, Yamawaki Masahiro now felt that it would be better to let these Chinese people serve as disposable cannon fodder on the battlefield.
It would be better to release them back into Xiangcheng City to consume the limited food and medicine of the Yi army.
Yamawaki Masahiro suddenly felt that the female Japanese spy Fujiwara Shizuka sometimes had sexual desires that were even dirtier than those pure soldiers like them!
However, the more sinister and vicious Fujiwara Shizuka acted, the more trusted Masahiro Oyamawaki became.
There is no doubt about the true intentions of Shen Yutang, Fujiwara Shizuka.
He once again promised Shen Yutang on the spot to release all the captured Chinese prisoners.
Next, Shen Yutang asked Yamawaki Masahiro for a Japanese squadron of troops.
Let this squadron serve as a suicide squad for the Japanese army, ready to assist the "Viper" team in evacuating after they arrive.
This 200-man Japanese squadron will do their utmost to cover Shen Yutang's "Viper" team's withdrawal from Xiangcheng at that time, regardless of sacrifice.
Shen Yutang's efforts to use these two hundred devils as cannon fodder were already the limit of what Yamawaki Masahiro could accept.
After all the conditions and requirements were agreed upon, Shen Yutang, Chiyo Asakura, and Kawaki Konno planned to leave the Japanese front-line command center and prepare to sneak into Xiangcheng among the Chinese prisoners of war.
Vice Admiral Yamawaki was quite efficient. He soon sent someone to deliver a hundred large yellow croaker gold bars to Shen Yutang.
The Japanese soldiers sent by Yamawaki Masahiro did not recognize anyone like Asakura Chiyo and Kawaki Konno.
They only recognized Chen Yutang as Fujiwara Shizuka, and these cloth bags containing gold bars were also handed over to Chen Yutang personally.
Asakura Chiyo and Kawaki Kyono were unaware of the storage of these one hundred gold bars.
When Shen Yutang was talking to Lieutenant General Yamawaki Masahiro, the two of them were not qualified to sit by and listen.
They were asked to go to the headquarters' tea room, where they drank tea for an hour and their stomachs were bloated.
After Shen Yutang took the gold bars, he naturally received them into the space.
The cloth bag she was carrying was actually just filled with stones.
All of Shen Yutang's opinions and suggestions were adopted, and in the evening of that day, the Japanese army began to release Chinese civilian prisoners one after another.
These released Japanese captives could not escape in other directions and could only flee towards Xiangcheng.
They gathered in groups of three or five, or dozens or hundreds, hugging each other and fleeing for their lives.
When Shen Yutang left the Japanese military base and mingled with the fleeing Chinese people, he also looted the guns and ammunition in a Japanese ammunition tent.
Taking advantage of the Japanese army's inattention, she went in and stole ten light machine guns, two 7-machine guns, and five individual grenade launchers.
More than a dozen boxes of corresponding bullets were also stolen, and eight boxes of grenade launcher shells were also taken away.
As for the most useful Japanese cantaloupe grenades, she didn't hesitate and took away twenty boxes in one go.
These things could be received into the space by Shen Yutang just by touching them.
The entire process of stealing Japanese weapons took no more than ten seconds.
What's more, when Shen Yutang came out, her hands were empty, and it was obvious that she didn't take anything.
Besides, four Japanese divisions were assembled here, and important weapons and ammunition were stored in this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack valley.
Among so many ammunition and weapons, only such a small amount was lost. No one would notice it for a while.
And when Shen Yutang left here, no one would think that the weapon was lost and would associate it with her.
Shen Yutang really didn't dare to take more. If she was discovered by the Japanese soldiers, it would be too much of a loss.
In the evening, Lieutenant General Yamawaki Masahiro appeared for the last time and said goodbye to Shen Yutang.
The members of their "Viper" team put on the tattered clothes of the fleeing Chinese people and successfully blended in with them.
So many released Chinese civilians were driven by the Japanese army and could only flee in the direction of Xiangcheng.
