Chapter 112: The Streets at Night
6.112 Street at night
"Hey! A few of you! Proceed to the left side of the street, and you... Right! ”
Kikuchi Uemon received a new task, he became the leader of a sharp army, the battle on the city wall has entered the end, the troops of the 18th brigade began to plot the city of Nanjing in the night, the Japanese officers and soldiers who celebrated the victory turned this section of the Ming city wall they occupied into the city stage, the brigade commander Jing Shuxuanshi Major General stood at the height of the city wall and waved frequently, a complacent look, the noise here and the Ming city wall inside a dead silence of the Nanjing city seems very incongruous, The Wing Captain of the 36th Wing, Jiro Wakisaka, felt that he should not take the risk with his main force. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wakisaka Jiro Osa's troops have now become the "pride" of the Japanese Imperial Army, after becoming the first Imperial Army Wing to attack Nanjing, Wakisaka Jiro Osa does not want his 36th Wing to have any unnecessary damage, once people are rich, their minds will change, and now Wakisaka Jiro Wing Captain has begun to think about how to reduce the number of casualties on the battle report, which is related to his promotion and future, and he must not be sloppy......
The idea of the brigade commander coincided with that of Jiro Wakisaka, and he wanted to show a mighty 18th brigade in front of the reporters accompanying the Central China Front, and if the main force of the brigade was now immediately thrown into the battle for the city, it would be a very bad thing to lose the battle, and what Tokyo and the military department needed was an undefeated division that could be advocated in the news, and no one would be interested in a unit that won first and then lost! Keeping the main force of the 18 brigade, and then letting the journalists take more photos and get them in the domestic newspapers, is now more important than anything else!
However, the commander of the 9th Division, Lieutenant General Ji Jialiangfu, did not intend to let Jing Shuxuanshi be satisfied, and Jing Shuxuanshi's borrowing from the 3rd Division and the 16th Division had been revealed, and the commander of Ji Jialiang's auxiliary division felt that Jing Shuxuanshi was simply bold and completely ignored him, the division commander! In order to suppress Jing Shuxuan's arrogance and steal the limelight of the 18th Brigade, the commander of the Ji Jialiang Auxiliary Division immediately ordered Jing Shuxuanshi's troops to attack and advance to the city of Nanjing after the 18th Brigade conquered the Ming City Wall, and the task of capturing the Guanghuamen Tower and clearing the remnants of the Nanjing garrison on the city wall was transferred to the 6th Infantry Brigade of Akiyama Yoshiyoshi. The 18th Brigade sent a large number of scouts and sharp soldiers, and letting these small units out was actually using their lives to test whether there was an ambush by the Chinese ahead, as long as the main force did not suffer serious losses, and when the military department's commendation came, Yoshika Ryosuke should not be able to control him when he was announced!
Kikuchi Uemon's subordinates suffered more casualties, and in the eyes of the Japanese commander, this was the embodiment of Kikuchi Uemon's bravery and good fighting, so twelve recruits who had just been reinforced to the 36th Wing were sent to Kikuchi Emon, these recruits had just come to China by boat from Japan, and Jing Shuxuan was reluctant to let the soldiers of the 18th Brigade to carry out a dangerous search mission, so he sent these recruits to make up the number.
Together with the three Japanese soldiers who were originally staying by Kikuchi Oemon's side, there were a total of sixteen people in this elite group.
There are collapsed houses, burning walls, weapons and supplies discarded by the Chinese army when they retreated, and many debris are thrown in the middle of the street, and corpses are commonplace decorations, most of which are dressed as civilians, and there are not many corpses of Chinese soldiers, most of these Chinese should have died in the massive bombardment for several days.
The matter of the flower machine gun Kikuchi Emon has not had time to report it, the wing captain's order came too quickly, Kikuchi Emon was assigned a task directly on the city wall, and the magazine that his subordinates picked up for him was now inserted into the flower machine gun by Kikuchi Emon, and this submachine gun became Kikuchi Emon's main weapon.
Stones, the streets are full of broken stones, such a road is really irritating, Kikuchi Uemon crouched behind a burnt iron car on the corner of the street with a machine gun and commanded his soldiers to disperse, every window of the houses on both sides of the street could shoot bullets, danger, always circling around them.
"Kikuchi Juncao! The people of China must have fled, right? Such a street, it doesn't look like there are still people.... Hey! Nanjing is really big! My hometown of Shizuoka doesn't have so many big houses, but Kikuchi Juncao has been to Shanghai! I heard veterans of the 3rd Division say that the city is even more beautiful than Tokyo in Japan! Is that true? ”
Noisy recruits, fools brainwashed by the military department! Why is there always such a fool who becomes his subordinate? Kikuchi Uemon really wanted to rush over and smash the butt of a gun on the head of that recruit who kept talking, and only blood would shut up these idiots who used the battlefield as a playground!
"Yaga! Do you think you're on an outing right now? Listen to those gunshots around you! The Chinese army did not retreat! They're hiding behind these walls! Their rifles are already aimed at us! If you don't want to die, get serious! Otherwise, I'll send you to another battlefield, and the casualty rate at Zhongshan Gate is 50 percent!" There are a lot of dead people in need there! They will welcome you!! ”
Kikuchi Uemon's rebuke made the curious recruit lower his head and ran away, until now Kikuchi Uemon's group has not encountered any danger, the only two guards are still useless, Kikuchi Uemon looked at the street in the fire with his red eyes, the Chinese must be hiding somewhere, the Chinese submachine gunner on the city wall gave Kikuchi Uemon too much shadow, such an army is impossible to abandon such a large block without resistance, Kikuchi Uemon always feels that there are eyes watching his every move!
"Hurry! Hurry up! Hold on to your weapons! Keep your eyes open! Keep your feet light! ”
After all the soldiers passed him, Kikuchi Uemon signaled a few times towards the far end of the street, and the flashlight flashed a few times, which was to tell the troops behind him to be safe.....
"Crazy! Guy who has been crushed by the war! ”
Ono whined with a 38-style rifle, he originally wanted to join the navy, Ono, who graduated from high school, was very envious of the navy's black and white uniform, and the navy that conquered the sea was a fatal attraction to beautiful Japanese girls, damn the military department! Damn the war in China, in order to solve the dilemma of insufficient army strength, Ono inexplicably became a member of the Japanese army!
Now I have met such an arrogant and unreasonable military cao! By the way, he must have known that he had finished high school, and he deliberately suppressed himself like this! This is naked jealousy!
"Ono-kun! Ono-kun! Come here!! Come here......"
Behind a stone pillar, Tsunoda, who came out of a recruit squad with Ono, desperately recruited him, and several soldiers walking in front of Ono were gone, which should be related to the mysterious Tsunoda.
Ono glanced back at Kikuchi Juncao, who had just left the corner, this madman should not have noticed him, so Ono quickly ran to the back of the stone pillar, he clenched his rifle and gasped and asked Tsunoda, "What the hell is going on?" What about the others? ”
"Ono-kun!" Tsunoda's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he whispered to Ono, "See for yourself!" What is that! ”
Ono followed Tsunoda's fingers, and a dilapidated room appeared in his field of vision, with collapsed stone pillars and beautiful marble floors telling the magnificence of the room's former magnificence, and above the threshold, Ono saw several Chinese characters, and Ono recognized the meaning of these Chinese characters by virtue of the commonality of Japanese and Chinese characters copied and improved from China.
Food store!
Saliva immediately flooded Ono's mouth! The Japanese army's terrible food has made recruits like Ono unbearable! A food store means a room full of delicious food! It's a pie in the sky!
"Is there anything else in there? Tsunoda! Is there food? ”
Ono shook Tsunoda excitedly, Tsunoda smiled very honestly, Ono read the answer from this smile, there is still food in this dilapidated food store!
He immediately rushed in!
Inside the room, three or four Japanese soldiers were gobbling it up! Cake! Candy! And sodas! Ono pounced frantically, sweets! A room full of sweets! It's paradise!
Tsunoda also rushed forward, although some of the food in the store was rotten, but there was still a lot of food to eat, and the rice balls distributed to them in the wing had already been eaten on the way to Nanjing, and now, they were already hungry!
It didn't take long for Kikuchi Emon to find that the soldiers walking on the right side of the street were gone, and Kikuchi Emon, who was shocked into a cold sweat, called two old subordinates who had climbed the Ming City Wall with him before to line up in a triangular formation and cross the street to the right to check what was going on.
After bending over the ruins for a while, Kikuchi Uemon heard a burst of Japanese coming from a room on the side of the street, and he quietly leaned to the door with his machine gun in his hand, and one of his old subordinates removed a grenade from his belt.
"Is it delicious?" "Delicious! Delicious! ”
After hearing this dialogue clearly, Kikuchi Uemon rushed into the house in a rage! The Japanese soldiers who were stuffing all kinds of sweets into their mouths didn't notice that Kikuchi Juncao appeared behind them, looking at these unsuspecting recruits, Kikuchi Uemon raised his foot and kicked down the two recruits closest to him, and the huge force kicked the two Japanese recruits directly into the counter, Ono's reaction was the fastest, he quickly threw away the food and picked up the rifle leaning against the counter, when he saw that the person who came was Kikuchi Juncao, Ono pulled Tsunoda and hid behind several other Japanese soldiers, and there were a total of eight Japanese soldiers in the house, In addition to the two who were kicked behind the counter by Kikuchi Juncao, there were six other people, and as long as they could get a little behind, Kikuchi Juncao's slap would not fall on him and Tsunoda's faces.
"Bang bang... Smack! ... Smack!"
Kikuchi Uemon slapped the three Japanese soldiers standing at the front six times from left to right! Ono and Tsunoda kept their heads down and shrunk back, and they managed to dodge Kikuchi Uemon's fire!
"If I were a soldier! You're all dead! ”
Kikuchi's roar attracted the few remaining Japanese soldiers across the street, and when they ran into the food store, their expressions were exactly the same as when they first entered! Ono even saw their Adam's apple moving, which was the act of swallowing saliva!
"Jun Cao! We just wanted to fill our stomachs......"
"Smack!"
A Japanese soldier's justification earned him two more slaps in the face, and Kikuchi Uemon shouted, "This is a trap for the Shina people!" It's all poison! You idiots! Don't you know! Get out of here now! Right away! ”
The Japanese soldiers reluctantly left this paradise, and Ono stuffed a few bottles of soda and some candy and bread into his bag as he left, and even threw away some of his bullets in order to take as many as he could.
"Ono-kun! You are crazy!!? ”
Tsunoda hurriedly blocked in front of Ono, Ono stood up with a smile and stuffed a handful of candy into Tsunoda's backpack, and then pushed Tsunoda from behind, Ono whispered, "Tsunoda-kun!" The war is over! Didn't the people of China also give up Shanghai? The same is true in Nanjing! They gave up! Don't be that madman! We will be back in Japan soon! ”
Tsunoda and Ono are fellow villagers, he didn't even finish junior high school and went to work as a factory worker, and later, he joined the Japanese army, and he admired Ono, a person who had studied in high school, and he always believed in Ono's words!
"Yes! That's great! I'm going to bring some loot back to Haruko! Ono! You're going to keep an eye on me! ”
"Got it! Tsunoda-kun! Let's go! Otherwise, we will suffer again! ”
Ono and Tsunoda ran out of the food store with a smile, and when they ran out, Kikuchi Uemon threw a grenade into the house, and with a loud "boom", the store was blown up beyond recognition! Kikuchi Uemon did this to solve the temptation for the troops behind.
"He's crazy! Totally insane! Ono pressed his bulging pocket with his hand, the candy inside made him very satisfied, there were too many crazy people in the army! This kind of environment is really not suitable for Ono! After conquering Nanjing, he found a reason to leave......
"Keep going! Don't let me see you disappear again! If only there was a next time! I will send your ashes back to Japan! ”
Kikuchi Uemon's vicious warning made the recruits break out in a cold sweat, these recruits didn't know that Kikuchi Uemon did this for their own good, only the three veterans knew that Kikuchi Uemon was actually a very kind military officer.
Kikuchi Uemon scolded these recruits because they didn't want them to die on the battlefield, and if they were replaced by other soldiers, they wouldn't care so much! There are many officers in the Japanese army who believe that only large casualties can be exchanged for great military achievements, and the life and death of soldiers are worthless in their eyes!
These recruits must hate Kikuchi now, but in the future, they will miss Kikuchi......
The quiet streets, the ruins, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the gravel, and the light of the fire, Kikuchi Emon's group went farther and farther, and they gradually advanced to the depths of Shirashita Ward.
"Battalion commander, fight? If you don't fire again, these little devils will have to pass through our defense area, and you can't give this cheap to the 4th battalion behind, the whole battalion has been busy for several days, if you can't even get the chance to release the gun, my thoughts... Can't figure it out!! ”
The commander of the 532nd Regiment 1st Battalion 2nd Company Qian was lying next to his battalion commander Zhang Jie and complained vigorously, just now Kikuchi Emon and his subordinates walked under the nose of the Qian Company Commander, which sent the meat to the mouth and did not let the mouth, Qian Company Commander was very tormented in his heart, the 99th Division was busy in the Baixia District for several days, and the engineer regiment in the army was almost 24 hours a day, and finally built this group of fortifications on the ground and underground, and was bombed by the devil's plane without a shot, and now finally looked forward to the devil's infantry, The battalion commander didn't let him fight yet! Looking at Zhang Jie, who was speechless, Qian Lian Chang scratched his ears and cheeks vigorously.
"What's the hurry! You know we've been waiting for so many days! It's not bad for this last shudder! As soon as the gun went off, the devils knew that we had an ambush in this area, and the commander explained that it was necessary to let the devils throw more troops into the defense area of our division, and with these 'hostages', the devils' planes and artillery would not be able to work! Then let's close the door and slaughter them slowly! We also have to give the devils a chance to increase their troops! It's called boiling a frog in warm water and cutting meat with a blunt knife! These are the words of the commander! If you have any advice, ask the commander! ”
Company Commander Qian was choked by Zhang Jie's words and kept panting, questioning Huang Haoran's order in the 99th Division? Unless the company commander is crazy! How many battles did the military seat win in front of the devil? Even Matsui, the old devil, was given for nothing in front of the military seat! Myself? Let's carry out the order honestly!
There was a whole squadron of Japanese troops hanging far behind Kikuchi Uemon, and they were moving along the road that Kikuchi Uemon had walked, and the Japanese squadron behind Kikuchi Uemon was also hearing the movement of the food store with grenades, and this unexpected incident caused them to stop immediately.
It was not until the agreed signal was lit up on the street corner in the distance that the Japanese squadron behind resumed moving.
"These devils are afraid of death! The scouts in front of them didn't move if they didn't send a signal, the little devil was really good at learning! But it's no wonder that the Central China Front has folded several generals in the hands of the commander, and Matsui will definitely retaliate! Maybe these devils on the street are going to the headquarters! ”
Zhang Jie observed the little devils below by the light of the burning fire of the buildings on the side of the street, this group of Japanese soldiers was under the control of several dark crossfire points of the 1st Battalion, if it weren't for the order from above to release more devils into the Baixia District, Zhang Jie really wanted to accept the construction results of the troops and the engineer regiment in the past few days.
"His grandmother's! I don't send more troops! How long will it take for such a squadron to pass? That's right! Company Commander Qian...... You haven't touched the food in the store, have you? I remember you said you were going to poison it......"
Company Commander Qian has not moved since Zhang Jie brought Huang Haoran as a backer, he didn't dare to be presumptuous about his military seat, and now he suddenly heard Zhang Jie talk about the food store on the street, and Company Commander Qian suddenly came to his senses!
