Ikeda stopped wiping the command knife in his hand, looked at the Kondo in front of him who was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and at this time Kondo, who was gray-headed and had a bandage on his chest, he suddenly raised the command knife angrily, and was about to slash Kondo's head, Kondo was already determined to apologize to the emperor with death, straightened his waist and closed his eyes, waiting for Ikeda's command knife to fall.

At this time, Fujiwara quickly took a step forward and said in a panic and eagerness: "Captain Ikeda, although Kondo-kun was captured by Tsuchihachi-kun, he did not surrender, and Tsuchihachi-kun does not know the identity of Kondo-kun, and now he has been put back by Tsuchihachi, there must be a big secret, please Ikeda, please calm your anger, you can patiently listen to what Kondo-kun said There is important information to report to you, and then punish Kondo-kun when you find out, okay?" ”

Ikeda's command knife was about to slash at the top of Kondo's head, and suddenly made a quick stop, the command knife grazed Kondo's right shoulder, and with a sharp wind sound, Ikeda inserted the command knife into the scabbard, and looked at Kondo with eagle-like eyes.

He said in a yin and yang tone: "Kondo, for the sake of the friendship between you and I who graduated from the same period in the military academy, if you make it clear, I will forgive you and give you the qualification to cut your own abdomen, if you have already taken refuge in the earth, I will immediately order you to be killed, I hope you can grasp it well when you speak, do you understand?" ”

Fujiwara saw that Ikeda had spared Kondo for the time being, he took a step forward and grabbed Kondo and said: "Kondo-kun, I know that you are the best soldier of the Imperial Japanese Army and the most loyal subject of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Kondo shook his head sadly, looked at Ikeda and Fujiwara, and said after thinking twice: "Your Excellency Ikeda, it is not my fault that I was captured by Tsuchihachi, it is not my fault that Dr. Oshima's clinic was suddenly surrounded by Tsuchihachi, and the commander who commanded this force was the only regiment of Tsuchihachi Thunder Sword.

This bastard's only regiment was on the front line of the military city, and with six or seven thousand troops, it blocked nearly 10,000 troops of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade of our Imperial Japanese Army for two days and two nights. I, Kondo, have no power to resist, I Kondo did not cut my own abdomen, not because I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but I have no chance of self-judgment under the surveillance of Tsuchibaji, please verify with Your Excellency the Squadron Leader. ”

Ikeda frowned, looked at the other three captured Japanese soldiers who were escorted up, and shouted in a fierce voice: "You tell me honestly how you were captured by the Tsuchibalu, and if there is a little falsehood, you will die." ”

The three captured Japanese soldiers peeked at Kondo, and Ikeda yelled: "Bastard, don't worry about Captain Kondo, as long as what you say is true and you don't take the initiative to surrender to Tsuchihachi, I will leave your lives and kill Tsuchihachi on the battlefield, do you understand?" ”

"Hay, Hay, we understand." The three captured devils scrambled to confess their performance during their captivity, and they were noisy and refused to give in to each other for a while.

Kondo almost roared: "Bastard, Captain Ikeda asked you to tell the truth about how you were captured, and in order to survive and fight with each other to confess, are you still the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army?" Give me silence and say it one by one. ”

Squadron Leader Ikeda was already very angry with these captured bastards, and just wanted to reprimand, but listening to what Kondo said made sense, he frowned and shouted word by word: "Say it one by one, understand? ”

The three little devils have only one general meaning, that is, they were treated in the Oshima clinic after being injured, and they were passively surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and they became prisoners without a chance to resist.

Kondo was not very satisfied with the statements of the three captured soldiers, and finally added: "Captain Ikeda, during the treatment at the Oshima Clinic, I found that this Oshima bastard was an out-and-out anti-war ally, and during the period when the clinic was surrounded by Tsuchihachi, he talked to Tsuchihachi many times, and finally was invited to participate in the military meeting of the only regiment of Tsuchihachi, and this time we were released, this Oshima doctor did a lot of bad things that were not conducive to my Great Japanese Empire, and my request is that once the Great Japanese Imperial Army reoccupies Fuping Castle, This anti-war island must be killed and killed. ”

Captain Ikeda did not expect that Oshima, whom he knew, was actually an anti-war ally, and although he had doubts about Kondo's accusations, he believed that Kondo was expanding Oshima's crimes in order to cover up or reduce the fact that he was captured by the Eighth Route Army and to divert the punishment from him.

He stared at Kondo stubbornly, staring at Kondo uncomfortable, Ikeda suddenly laughed and said: "Kondo, you bastard, don't talk about it, you know that I have a good relationship with Dr. Oshima, and you are trying to pull Oshima to force me to reduce your punishment, and your conscience is greatly broken." ”

When Kondo heard Ikeda say this, he said with a chill in his heart: "Ikeda-kun, you and I are alumni of different classes in the same period, you should understand my personality, and you should not doubt my personality, if you don't believe it, you can, you can ask the three Imperial Army soldiers who were captured with me, once I intend to implicate Doctor Oshima in order to reduce your punishment for me, then I, Kondo, am willing to obey all sanctions." ”

Ikeda looked at the captured Japanese soldiers, thinking that Kondo was not lying, he gritted his teeth and roared angrily: "Oshima-kun, since you are a staunch anti-war element, I, Ikeda, have no way to protect you, I hope not to be held accountable by the military department, once Kamimine gives the order to arrest you, I, Ikeda, can only be sorry." ”

Kondo saw that Ikeda had given up his protection of this anti-war element in anger towards Oshima, so he took the opportunity to take a step forward and said: "Ikeda-kun, when I was released from the clinic, Mr. Oshima personally revised a book and told me to hand it over to Ikeda-kun. ”

Ikeda already knew that the identity of Dr. Oshima's anti-war alliance had been exposed, and he didn't want to lose his future for a big island, so Ikeda rushed to Kondo, grabbed Kondo's collar and slapped him twice, and roared angrily: "Kondo, you bastard, you already know that Dr. Oshima is a staunch anti-war activist, why do you still hand over his letter to me?" I've been kind to you, and yours want to put me to death, what are your intentions? Bastard. ”

The corners of Kondo's mouth were bleeding, not only did he not hate Ikeda and Oshima, but he wanted to thank these two people, if there were no two guys who walked very closely, then the shameful scandal of Kondo being captured by the Eighth Route Army would definitely be criticized by some people in the army, and he would be sent back to his hometown if he was not sanctioned, and his mood was relaxed.

Fujiwara saw clearly that Kondo would be sanctioned if he was captured, but his boss, Captain Ikeda, had a close relationship with Oshima, an anti-war alliance, so Kondo found an umbrella to get out of, and Kondo's sanctions would be reduced.

Ikeda shook his head and looked at Fujiwara and asked, "Fujiwara-kun, what do you mean?" ”

The cunning Fujiwara looked at Ikeda and Kondo and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Ikeda, I think that Kondo-kun was injured on the battlefield and fell into a coma, was transferred to the Oshima clinic for treatment, and was suddenly surrounded by the fierce Dohachi Army, and had no power to resist, and this capture was completely accidental.

I think that since Kondo-kun entered Shinna and fought bravely against the Tsuhachi-ro, and the two of you are alumni of the same period, now that you have returned safely, and have not taken refuge in the Hachiro after examination, my opinion is to cancel the punishment and self-punishment of Kondo-kun in order to see the after-effects. ”

Ikeda knew that Fujiwara was a very cunning guy, and he said to Fujiwara very politely with a smile that made people look very enchanted: "Fujiwara-kun, do you think that Kondo, this bastard, was captured by Tsuchihachi, do you think that Kamito will not be investigated?" My failure to hold me accountable will not affect the honor and ...... of my Ikeda squadron? ”

Fujiwara didn't wait for Ikeda to finish speaking, but he knew very well that this guy wanted to get rid of Kondo's sins, and he wanted to be irresponsible, so he couldn't help but say what he liked: "Your Excellency Ikeda, Kondo-kun was captured in a coma, and I think you deliberately arranged for Kondo-kun to be captured in a coma, in order to find out the top secret of the only group of the Tsuchihachi, and now take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to get out, not only did not do anything wrong, but also can make meritorious contributions." ”

Although Ikeda admired this bastard's words, he was also jealous of the profundity of this Fujiwara's scheme.

Hearing Fujiwara say this, Kondo looked at Fujiwara with bright eyes, and said gratefully: "Fujiwara-kun has helped me Kondo, and I, Kondo, will repay you and Ikeda's great kindness with all my heart, but, it's just ......." ”

When Ikeda and Fujiwara heard Kondo say that he was happy, he suddenly changed his tone and said, "It's just ......., it's just ", and the two looked at each other in unison, Ikeda frowned and turned to Kondo, and roared in a sudden tone: "Kondo, don't be ignorant, you bastard, when everyone says well, what does your 'just ......' mean?" ”

Kondo didn't dare not hide the letters of Oshima and Thunder Sword and not hand them over to Ikeda, once they concealed them, Ikeda's squadron would be wiped out, so he shook his head and said helplessly in order to make up his mind after reading these two letters: "Your Excellency Ikeda, I would like to ask you to read Mr. Oshima's letters, you will have your own thoughts, what do you say?" ”
